Low 161 Chapter 161 No Blessings
"I'll go, what's going on?"
Xu Chen's frightened vitality shook the snakehead plant away.
But in an instant, he was even more stunned, the snake-headed plant was like a frightened animal, and it all shrank into the soil at once, leaving only three head-like leaves exposed, and even nervously turned to look at him collectively.
And what made Xu Chen's heart beat the most was that there were two golden round spots on the snake's head-like leaves, just like a pair of strange golden eyes.
But fortunately, Xu Chen didn't feel any danger from the snakehead plant, which made him feel a false alarm.
"Senior sister, how did this thing become like this?" Xu Chen asked with a strange face.
Zhao Xuan also shook his head with a strange face and said: "I don't know, but this situation has only appeared in the last few days, but it obviously has no malicious intent, it seems to be just curious, The first thing I found was Xiaobai, they have been playing in the medicine garden every day these days, which is quite fun." ”
"Fun?" Xu Chen felt a little stunned in an instant.
"Yes, this thing looks quite smart, it hides itself in the soil on weekdays, it only comes out when people come, and it will run around in the medicine garden by itself." Zhao Xuan explained.
"Does this thing still run?" Xu Chen's face was full of confusion.
Zhao Xuan nodded and said, "Didn't you notice that its current location is not the original location?" ”
Xu Chen glanced around a few times, only to find that this was indeed the case, this snakehead plant was originally not far from the direction of the entrance to the medicine garden, but now it was almost near the soul restoration tree.
These plants are really weird one by one, even if they look demonic, they are even dogs, not only can they run, but they will grab food, this is not the rhythm of becoming a sperm.
Xu Chen opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time.
Zhao Xuan urged: "Okay, you hurry up and find a place to arrange the Seven Star Golden Toad first, the medicine garden has been getting more and more aura recently, and it is relatively clean and quiet, I think it is the most suitable place to put it here." ”
Xu Chen came back to his senses, his divine sense probed into the spirit beast bag, and then shook slightly, only to see seven big toads of all sizes falling out with a poof.
"Gollum...... Gollum ......"
As soon as these toads that had been holding in the spirit beast bag for seven or eight days came out, they were stunned for a while, and then they actually staggered in all directions to drill into the plants, especially two of them were the most conspicuous, with golden yellow and emerald green spots all over their bodies, which looked extremely eye-catching.
Xu Chen didn't worry that these toads would run away and disappear, and his divine sense followed closely, mainly worried that these toads would fight with each other, especially attacking the two seven-star golden toads.
But fortunately, after a while of these toads jumping around, they quickly found a hidden place to lie still, and some even began to dig holes directly, looking like they were preparing to build a nest on the spot.
Xu Chen, the other toads that had been picked up and counted, didn't care very much, but kept observing the two seven-star golden toads, and found that they had been staying together all the time, and they hadn't run too far, they were all lying on their stomachs and squatting together under the soul rejuvenation tree, and they didn't seem to want to move their nests.
Xiao Bai was very surprised by these big toads that suddenly appeared, and ran around with great excitement, but he seemed to feel that the breath of the two golden toads was very strong, so he didn't dare to get very close, but kept turning around, and a pair of ruby-like eyes looked full of curiosity.
"Senior brother, why do these golden toads look different?" Zhao Xuan asked with a surprised face.
Xu Chen explained the reason with a smile, pointed to a pair of real golden toads and said: "Only this pair is a real golden toad, the others are all degraded wild toads, and you only need to be optimistic about this pair on weekdays." ”
Zhao Xuan nodded abruptly and said: "I see, these two look really different, and the aura is obvious, but if they are left here like this, will they be eaten by Xiaobai?" ”
Xu Chen squatted down and summoned Xiao Bai over, pointed at the golden toad and said, "Xiao Bai, these golden toads are all useful, you have to help take care of them more on weekdays, don't let them run out of the medicine garden, let alone eat them as food!" ”
Xiao Bai nodded as if he understood, rubbing his head against Xu Chen's hand and whining.
Xu Chen just stood up and said to Zhao Xuan: "Okay, senior sister, Xiaobai has already promised not to eat these golden toads!" ”
Zhao Xuan: ......
She couldn't cry or laugh, but she also knew that Xiaobai was indeed very smart, and maybe she really understood Xu Chen's words.
However, although the golden toad has settled down temporarily, the food is still a big problem.
According to Xu Chen's breeding experience learned in the Golden Toad Palace of the Yuqing Palace, the food of these golden toads on weekdays is also very fine, and they need to eat food and elixirs rich in spiritual energy, especially to feed some spirit insects frequently.
In order to breed these seven-star golden toads, the Yuqing Hall specially cultivated spirit insects and refined special veterinary spirit pills.
But Xu Chen didn't have the time and effort, let alone the energy.
Therefore, the food was also a big problem for him.
Although these golden toads will be in a semi-dormant state in the spirit beast bag, they can go without eating or drinking for a long time, but after all, they have been hungry for seven or eight days, and they must be fed quickly.
He thought about it, and suddenly thought that the third-order spirit sparrow seemed to have fallen into a state of addiction to the soul pill, and with an idea, he turned over his hand and took out a bottle of Taiyuan Soul Pill, walked to the soul restoration wood and squatted next to the two seven-star golden toads, poured out two spirit pills and threw them on the ground.
"Gollum~"
The moment the elixir was thrown out, the two golden toads suddenly seemed to be stimulated by something, and suddenly let out a deafening cry, and scrambled to stretch out their long tongues, and in an instant, the two elixirs had been swallowed by the golden toad.
"Quack~Quack~"
It seemed that he felt the cry of his companion eating, or felt the breath of the Taiyuan Soul Pill, and the five toads that had just jumped out and lurked around also scrambled out from the hidden place, and the speed was extremely fast, and there were even afterimages between the jumps.
Although these golden toads have degenerated, they still have the blood and breath of some spirit beasts, which are not good for medicinal purposes, but their strength is comparable to that of some beasts, and they can even compete with some small beasts without falling behind.
He had already seen these situations in the Yuqing Palace Canyon.
Ordinary snakes and rats turned out to be food in front of some powerful toads, and they were also very bloody and cruel to fight each other.
Especially those toads that still have a lot of golden markings left on their bodies, they are the strongest.
Five toads the size of a bowl soon gathered near the Soul Restoration Tree, and they were not afraid of humans at all, except for Xiaobai, who was still a little nervous, but they all stared at the two golden toads, as if they wanted to snatch food.
And the two golden toads were obviously not good at stubble, and they let out a deafening cry in unison, and at the same time, the large and small flesh bumps on their bodies swelled up, as if there were signs of squirting venom.
Xu Chen was startled, and hurriedly threw all five ordinary toads away.
Just kidding, the medicinal value of the Seven-Star Golden Toad is all on this skin.
Or, rather, on top of these poison glands.
Especially the poison glands where the seven green spots are located, that is the best material for refining Aiki Pill.
However, the two golden toads have begun to degenerate, and only five of the seven green spots are now left, and even two of them are lighter in color and continue to degenerate.
Without the threat of a group of toads, the two seven-star golden toads quickly quieted down again, and then closed their eyes and seemed to begin to digest the Taiyuan Soul Pill, Xu Chen was overjoyed in his heart, and it seemed that the effect was still very good.
Thinking of the strengthening effect of the Taiyuan Soul Pill's soul and body, Xu Chen even had a whim, maybe if he continued to feed like this, the two seven-star golden toads might really recover all their bloodlines and reach a state of complete medicine.
If this is the case, then will those few degenerate golden toads also have this effect, after all, the bloodline still exists, but the degradation is relatively thin.
Thinking of this, Xu Chen poured out five Soul Pills again and threw them in front of the five ordinary golden toads, only to see a few afterimages flashing, and the spirit pill on the ground disappeared in the blink of an eye.
However, what made Xu Chen stunned was that there was a toad among them that pounced in the air, and instead of grabbing the elixir, it was snatched away by the snake-headed plant that suddenly emerged from the soil.
The toad turned his head to look around with a confused face, and when he found that his elixir was robbed, he pounced on the snake-headed plant with an angry croak, and the snake-headed plant tightly wrapped the elixir with snake-like leaves At the same time, the three vines also attacked the toad like three small snakes, and instantly a big toad and a strange-shaped plant were tumbling and tumbling in the medicine yard, and soon, the toad was entangled in the three snake vines, and while screaming, he kept squirting venom out.
However, this venom did not seem to have any effect on the snake-like plant, but instead tightened it tighter, Xu Chen quickly released his vitality to shake the snake vine away and save the toad.
But it seems that it is too late, and the toad is already dying.
And just when Xu Chen was observing this toad, the other toads who had grabbed the elixir suddenly became agitated, one by one, as if they had swallowed a piece of coal, and they began to jump and roll in the medicine garden, and soon after, they all lay on the ground foaming at the mouth, constantly twitching and struggling, and the mud on their four legs flew up.
I'll it, I'm poisoned now!
Xu Chen's face twitched continuously, a burst of black and a burst of red, as wonderful as opening a paint shop.
Zhao Xuan was also dumbfounded, and finally saw that the four toads were not moving, so he whispered: "Senior brother, it seems that they have all been poisoned by you!" ”
Xu Chen: ......
Well, the elixir is really not something that ordinary beasts can digest.
Xu Chen could also understand, after all, the elixir was a great tonic for monks, but for mortals, it was highly poisonous.
These few degenerate toads that were not easy to find back seemed to have lost much potential of spirit beasts, and they were unable to digest and absorb the medicinal properties of the elixir at all.
What's more, this elixir also contains white qi ingredients, although it can enhance the divine soul, but the powerful quenching effect also makes them unblessed.
The other one was lucky not to grab the elixir, but it didn't go any better, and it was directly strangled by a snake vine-like plant, and it was estimated that the bones were broken, and I am afraid that it would not survive.
Xu Chen let out a long sigh.
The blow came so suddenly, it was completely caught off guard, and it was all gone.
Although he was a little sad, Xu Chen could only accept the reality in front of him in the end, and threw the five toads far away into the bushes outside the medicine garden.
It's okay to die, so you don't have to worry about them threatening to disturb the two golden toads, feed them well in the future, as long as the two golden toads mate and lay eggs, there will still be a lot of ordinary golden toads next year, and you can continue to feed the experiment when the time comes, maybe if you are lucky, you can slowly get more real golden toads out.
