Chapter 25 The mountains and forests are dangerous
Matsutake, known as the "king of mushrooms", is a kind of edible mushroom with high nutritional value, which has the functions of strengthening the kidney, strengthening the brain and anti-cancer, and some countries even list it as a delicacy at the state banquet to entertain VIPs.
Moreover, matsutake mushrooms cannot be cultivated artificially, only wild matsutake mushrooms in the mountains, which are often in short supply in the market, and the price is naturally ridiculously high.
A pound of matsutake mushrooms, if of good quality, can be sold for thousands of yuan, or even tens of thousands of yuan.
At the auction, there was even a record of a pound of matsutake mushrooms auctioned for hundreds of thousands of yuan.
Therefore, some mountain people make a living by picking matsutake mushrooms, and picking a few matsutake mushrooms a day is more than making money by making screws in factories.
Many matsutake mushrooms on the market are fake, such as agaricus mushrooms, flower matsutake mushrooms, old man's head mushrooms, and other fungi, which are very similar to the appearance of matsutake mushrooms, and are often used to rush matsutake mushrooms, without polishing their eyes, and it is easy to be deceived.
The matsutake mushroom that appeared in front of Chen Fan at this moment is a flora, there are more than 20 of them, which is very rare, and the growth is gratifying, each one is very strong, the mushroom cap can be as big as a child's palm, and the color is bright, and it is a good matsutake at a glance.
There are so many matsutake mushrooms, two or three catties are available, and it is not a problem to sell them for one or two thousand yuan.
Sure enough, it is rich and dangerous!
If people are lucky, the money will be chased to the door.
This big mountain forest is deep and dense, the mountains are steep, few people set foot on it, and there are many treasures hidden.
Chen Fan approached cautiously, and he smelled a faint fragrance.
For this taste, Chen Fan has an exclusive memory, which belongs to the taste of money.
When I was a child, the floodgates of memory opened all at once.
At that time, in order to earn tuition fees and pocket money, during holidays and weekends, friends would gather in groups, get up early and be greedy at night, and go up to the mountains to pick matsutake mushrooms together.
Sometimes for a matsutake mushroom, friends will fight with each other to break the bloodstream.
More often, when encountering danger, there is a brush with death.
Chen Fan once fell off a cliff and hung on a tree with a crooked neck, and was found and rescued by a young man named Chen Erniu in the village.
Otherwise, there may not be him Chen Fan now.
During those years, there was some bitterness, but there was joy in suffering.
In retrospect, it's quite interesting.
Sou!
Just when Chen Fan was thinking bitterly, suddenly a snake burst out of the grass, swished, and bit Chen Fan's ankle.
The snake could be as thick as a baby's arm, more than a meter long, with a flattened triangular head, scarlet snakes, and two sharp fangs at the corners of its mouth.
"it, Cobra!" Chen Fan was startled.
Cobras are highly venomous snakes, and if they are bitten by a cobra in the mountains, they will die and die.
In the flash of light, Chen Fan grabbed it with one palm, and at the same time, the bullet time pupil technique was running, and the speed of the cobra pounced became slow.
Click!
Seven inches was caught at once.
Even after being caught seven inches, the cobra did not give up resistance, and the snake body coiled around his arm, desperately wrapping around, trying to break free.
At the same time, the fangs at the corners of the mouth spewed venom.
"Huh? Do you still have the strength to struggle? Chen Fan sighed softly.
In the next second, he turned into a grim reaper, and with a click, he pinched off the cobra's seven inches.
The cobra burped instantly, and was thrown out casually by him.
For him now, this small episode is difficult to make his mood fluctuate. It was as if it was just an ant that was pinched to death.
Then, Chen Fan squatted down and prepared to pick out the matsutake mushrooms.
But suddenly, he changed his mind.
He mainly came here to collect medicines, and it was inconvenient to carry so many matsutake mushrooms on his back.
This kind of place is inaccessible, and there is no fear of matsutake mushrooms being picked by others.
Moreover, he still has to come back, passing through here, it is better to pick it again when he returns.
Thinking about it like this, Chen Fan gave up the idea of picking, but soon another idea came to him: "I don't know if the Spiritual Rain Trick will have an effect on this thing?" ”
After all, fungi and plants are two completely different species, and Chen Fan has no bottom in his heart.
Let's give it a try.
Concentrating and calming, pinching the trick with his fingers, soon a mysterious feeling rose from his body, and above the matsutake mushroom flora, a spiritual mist condensed and expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, because Chen Fan had just performed the Spiritual Rain Technique, the spirit and spirit were very depleted, and he was a little powerless, this time the Spiritual Mist Crown was only one meter in radius, and the Spiritual Rain could only water half of the matsutake mushrooms.
However, Chen Fan has done his best.
Boom Boom!!
Just when Chen Fan was casting the magic trick, suddenly there was another danger approaching, this time the movement was very large, and the stampede shook the ground.
From the sound of the sound, it is extremely fast, and it is a very large species.
", just cobra, and now there's a wild boar again!" Chen Fan was powerless to complain.
It is no wonder that this mountain forest is inaccessible and steep, on the other hand, there are many wild animals, whether it is cobra or wild boar, they are extremely aggressive and kill people without blinking.
If it weren't for the longevity of the people, they really wouldn't dare to come.
Just listening to this movement, Chen Fan knew that it was a wild boar, and it was estimated that it could weigh three or four hundred catties.
The dealer in Peach Blossom Village doesn't know how much is spoiled by wild boars every year, and every villager is no stranger to wild boars.
When villagers go up the mountain, the first thing they have to guard against is wild boars.
Now Chen Fan is naturally not afraid of wild boars, and he is not afraid of hard encounters, the key is that he is now casting the spiritual rain trick.
The spiritual mist is still a little short of fire, and it is necessary to gather more spiritual energy before it can fall the spiritual rain.
If he gets up and deals with the boar now, he scatters the spell and his efforts will be in vain.
The next time he casts the Spiritual Rain Technique, it will be at least a few hours later, and it will take a cooling time for his body to slowly replenish his true qi.
Boom Boom!
The speed of the wild boar is very fast, and in a few snaps of his fingers, it appeared in Chen Fan's field of vision, the huge size, definitely weighing three or four hundred catties, and the fangs are half a foot long, it is a very aggressive male wild boar, a full-speed sprint, can knock over a small car, extremely dangerous.
Although Chen Fan was physically strong, he didn't dare to stand still in a daze, and let the wild boar hit him, then he had to be knocked out.
"Damn, am I really going to scatter the spells?" Chen Fan is crazy.
"Vine Bondage!"
At this moment, a spell suddenly appeared in Chen Fan's mind.
Vine binding is a wood-based technique that can not only drive the existing vines in the jungle, but also create vines out of nothing, using wood-based aura to generate vines to bind enemies.
Chen Fan looked around and found that there were no ready-made vines, so he pinched the magic trick and attracted the existing wood-based aura above the matsutake mushroom to give birth to vines to bind the wild boar.
The wild boar was rushing towards it, and suddenly the ground under its feet burst open, and several green vines covered with thorns burst out of the ground, as thick as a baby's arm, and climbed on the boar like a poisonous snake, instantly binding its limbs, torso, and neck.
The thorns on the green vine were more than two inches long, like steel needles, and easily pierced into the supposedly invulnerable skin of the wild boar, and blood flowed out. The boar screamed like a pig in pain.
The green vine was extremely tough, and even if the wild boar was as strong as an ox, it could not break free, and after being bound, it was hung on a tree.
"Terrifying!" Chen Fan was shocked.
Among the many wood-based spells, the vine binding technique was only the lowest-level introductory spell, and I didn't expect the effect to be so powerful.
