Chapter 45: Wild Pomegranate (Part I)
Today's luck was much worse than yesterday's, in the morning, they encountered more than twenty seventh- and eighth-level star beasts, all of which were varieties with strong combat effectiveness.
Ye Qingting and Cui Tianxiao fought hard again and again, seamlessly connecting between the fields, and their physical and mental strength were greatly consumed.
Taking advantage of Ye Qingting's sword to repel the giant claw flying locust, Li Xing took them into the dense forest, and relied on the divine position to introduce the giant claw flying locust into a giant flutter grass. With the help of the flyweed, they were able to escape.
Li Xing led them all the way to rest under a large tree. Cui Tianxiao beat his spirits, took out the formation flag, and inserted a few around at random, and then leaned on the trunk of the tree with confidence, panting.
Ye Qingting was also too tired, if he hadn't rested well last night, he and Ah Xiao might not have been able to survive today.
Li Xingbu's shielding array technique was already superb, even if it was close, the two of them didn't notice that she had made a move.
followed the two of them to hide in XZ all morning, Li Xing was also hungry, set up Shennong Ding, and pulled in Lingperi.
Wild vegetables, rhizomes, nuts like rice grains, and the meat of the star beast that has been peeled and deboned are thrown into the pot in turn, and they are boiled with water.
Ye Qingting actually wanted to stop her, after all, today's back, and then attracting star beasts, he and Ah Xiao didn't have the strength to fight. But thinking of last night's deliciousness, Ye Qingting struggled for a long time, and finally decided to shut up.
Grandpa said that there is no doubt about employing people, since he chose Xiaobaihua as a guide, he must believe in her experience of survival in the wild.
The strange fragrance spread, and just by smelling the smell, Ye Qingting and Cui Tianxiao both felt that their strength had recovered.
"Flowers...... Give my brother a bowl for free, and taste the saltiness first. Cui Tian smiled like a gossamer, and now he needed a bowl of hot food to soothe his body and mind.
"I'm not a servant, Young Master Xiao wants to eat his own sheng."
Cui Tianxiao was full of grievances: "You have given Qingting Sheng, why don't you care about me?" ”
"There are some things I could have done on my own initiative, but if you told me to do them, I wouldn't want to do them at all."
"Hey, your guy's personality isn't likable at all, he really has a cute face!"
Fighting mouths to fighting mouths, Cui Tianxiao's movements were not slow at all, and after eating a bowl, he immediately transferred the account in accordance with the rules and continued to cook. A pot full of broth, in the melodious sound of "dangchang", was divided into two.
When I was full, I felt warm in my stomach and my strength filled my body again. When the strength is restored, people have confidence, Cui Tianxiao began to make trouble again, smash it, smash it, and feel that it was a little less enjoyable.
"Qingting, I want to eat fruit." In a hurry, he forgot to bring a lot of things, masks and sunscreen, which he certainly couldn't find in the forest, but fruit could have them.
"In the wilderness, how can there be fruit, endure it for a few days and eat it when you get home."
"But if I haven't eaten fruit for too long, my skin will be dull, and I can't accept it." Cui Tianxiao has serious appearance anxiety, and he doesn't know what he is doing with a big man who is straighter than steel bars, and his skin is so well maintained.
Looking at Cui Tianxiao with idiot-like eyes, Ye Qingting said quietly:
"I have a big bibi here, it's loud and crispy, do you want to eat it?"
Cui Tianxiao's beautiful eyes widened, and he made an injury with his hand in his heart: "Qingting, you have changed, you have never been so fierce to me before!" ”
Ye Qingting is really hot, is this fool blind, didn't you see Xiao Baihua's shocked expression? He didn't want the little girl to be mistaken for any improper relationship with this fool.
"You go away!"
Ye Qingting dodged Cui Tianxiao's tiger pounce and sat down on Li Xing's side, poor Cui Tianxiao, like a little daughter-in-law who was let down by her lover, lay on the ground and looked at the sky. _(3)∠)_
"Is love gone...... Huh? ”
From his vantage point, he could see the canopy of trees overhead, covered with red wild pomegranates.
Cui Tian got up with a smile, looked at the position of the canopy, looked at the soil at the root of the tree, and finally carefully counted the number of wild pomegranates, and then shouted "God help me", climbed the tree and picked several down.
Li Xing watched him take out the purification tray with an obscure expression, first put the pomegranate on it to purify it, and then carefully measured the chaos force, and then peeled one off with confidence.
The crystal-like crystal clear pomegranate seeds, red and watery, make you have an appetite when you look at it.
"Wait!" Just when Cui Tianxiao was about to open his mouth to bite, Li Xing hurriedly stopped him. "I advise you not to eat indiscriminately, and be careful that there is a problem."
"Shhhh You are a cook in the forest, what is your position to persuade me not to eat indiscriminately? ”
Cui Tianxiao finally caught the opportunity to show off:
"There are people outside the so-called people, there are heavens outside the sky, don't think that only you know how to tell which plants can be eaten, brother is a person who has studied botany. Judging by your age, you shouldn't have studied in the reserve military academy, my brother will give you a lively and interesting advanced botany class in advance today, look at ——! ”
Holding the red pomegranate with his hand so that Li Xing could look more carefully, Cui Tian cleared his throat with a smile and continued:
"This, called wild pomegranate, is a common wild fruit, high in sugar, high in water, rich in a variety of nutrients and trace elements, and is often used as an emergency ration when fighting in the field."
"There are several ways to judge whether wild pomegranates are poisonous, first, the canopy is huge and sunny, and it is non-toxic; Second, the roots of the tree are clean and wormhole-free, non-toxic; Third, if the number of ripe fruits exceeds twice the number of secondary branches, it is non-toxic! ”
Ye Qingting nodded secretly, that's what is indeed written in the textbook.
"This wild pomegranate tree is simply textbook-level non-toxic, what else do I dare not eat?"
Li Xing pursed his teeth, and his expression was indescribable: "I think it's better for you to be cautious, think about it, so many ripe fruits, but they have not been picked and eaten by the star beast, is it normal?" ”
Li Xing's words aroused Ye Qingting's vigilance.
"Makes sense. Ah Xiao, I think you should listen to Xiaohua. ”
"I'm an honor student in a military academy, listen to children? Listen to a fart! ”
It's okay if Ye Qingting doesn't persuade him, Cui Tianxiao may still use his brain, as soon as he speaks, Cui Tianxiao is energetic, and he bites on the pomegranate meat with a bite. The sweet juice burst into his mouth, and Cui Tianxiao felt that his life was complete.
Just as he was about to take a second bite, he suddenly noticed that his field of vision had narrowed.
Ye Qingting and Xiao Baihua were originally in front of him, but now he could only see Qing Ting's neck and Xiao Baihua's eyes on the same horizontal line.
What's going on?
Ye Qingting was horrified to see that after Cui Tianxiao took a bite of the pomegranate, his eyelids and lips were like balloons, and they quickly swollen. In just a few seconds, the person standing in front of him changed from a beautiful boy with red lips and white teeth to a monster with goldfish eye bubbles and sausage lips.
Li Xing covered his face in pain, it was too ugly, and he begged for a pair of eyes that he had never seen.
Cui Tianxiao also felt the strangeness of his body, and reached out to touch his eyes - the buoyancy and bloated touch made him retract his hand suddenly, and his heart was terrified to the extreme! Is this still his eye?
No, no, no! None of this is true!
He admits that there is something wrong with this pomegranate, that he has been poisoned, that the poison has caused him to hallucinate, that all his appearances are false, and that his appearance must not have changed!
He tried his best to look at Ye Qingting with his eyes wide open, wanting to get approval from him, who knew that before he walked over, Ye Qingting automatically took a step back, his face was ugly as if he had seen a ghost.
