Chapter 42: Lingmi Phoenix Ring Fort (Two Chapters in One)
In a wide cave underground, the top of about 4 zhang high is inlaid with a faint white moonstone, and the whole space is dim.
The ground was covered with dense black scorpions, all facing each other, and the feet on either side of their heads were struggling against each other......
One of them took advantage of the other party's inattention, and directly stretched out his pincers to restrain the opponent's neck, and both sides trembled and squirmed, struggling with each other......
Soon, the one that was caught took advantage of the gap to leap forward, and the tail hook pierced the black shell on the opponent's back, directly into its body.
After a breath, the clamping pincers were released, and the black scorpion fell to the ground, and the other party took the opportunity to pounce on it, and soon devoured its entire body, leaving only the poisonous tail thorn on the tail to shine cold on the dim ground.
Similar scenes are happening everywhere in the space, and the difference is whether or not the opponent is eaten.
Zhou Buxi, who was hiding at a higher point to observe the scene below, saw this, and felt that the roots of her teeth were sour, and she couldn't help but use her divine sense to complain to Yu Wan beside her.
"Hey~ You said that this group of black scorpions is really cruel, and they won't eat each other after defeating them, right...... It's better to learn from those black scorpions who left the scene in a friendly way and turned away directly. ”
Yu Wan didn't say anything, just glanced at her.
Zhou Buji looked at Yu Yu's young age but a cold look, and couldn't help but speak again.
"Sister Wan, it's not good for you to be like this, you're only twelve years old, but you can't also develop a cold look. You ......"
"They're not fighting, they're mating."
Yu Wan's unwavering voice interrupted Zhou Buxi's nagging.
When Zhou Buxian heard her answer, he couldn't help but be stunned, his cheeks flushed. However, because the light was dim, Yu Wan didn't turn her head, so he didn't notice her complexion.
"Deliver... Copulation? Zhou Buxian couldn't believe it, and asked in surprise in his senses.
Yu Wan looked down and nodded with the same expression, "That's right, if the male scorpion doesn't leave in time after the mating is completed, it will be swallowed directly by the female scorpion into the abdomen to make nutrition for the baby scorpion." After only half a day, the female scorpion will give birth to baby scorpions, put them on her back and raise them for about 1 month, and the baby scorpions will leave to be self-reliant. ”
Zhou Buxian was stunned for a moment, and then asked rhetorically in the transmission, "Then why did you ask me to bring you over?" It's up to them...... They..."
Yu Wan took out the Six Finger Mountain and explained to her, "The newborn scorpion is still in the larval state, and this thing can help Yangmei recover from the torn wounds on her limbs as soon as possible...... We can't stay here forever. ”
Zhou Buxian looked like he suddenly realized, and then he knew the purpose of Yu Wan letting her hide her breath all the way and come here.
No longer continuing to ask where Yu Wan learned about this, she just took out her Sky-Breaking Sword and began to look down the cave, quietly waiting for the larvae to come out.
Regarding this information, Yu Wan saw it from the Demon Beast Chronicle given by his master.
I have to say that every time I open the Demon Beast Chronicles, Hundred Herbs Sutra and recipes that Master gave me, I admire the knowledgeable elders who are food cultivators, and they really eat everything......
Time passed slowly, and the black scorpion that was motionless on the ground slowly began to squirm from side to side, and then after a long time, when they moved aside, Zhou Buxian saw that there was an extra white thing under the place where they were staying.
With the moonstone placed above her head, she could faintly see pairs of small black dots randomly distributed on the white ball.
Thinking that this was a black scorpion larvae, Zhou Buxian also guessed that this black spot was probably their eyes.
She was about to turn her head to ask about Yu Wan's plan of action when she heard her voice.
"Only take those within five feet below us and kill these female scorpions directly. I'm on the left, you're on the right, and I'm gathering at the entrance of the cave. ”
Zhou Buxian looked at the denser female scorpion and larvae on the right and nodded.
After eating and drinking for so long, she should be more responsible...
Moreover, although these female scorpions are still in the weak period after giving birth, they are still Jindan demon beasts after all, and it is relatively easy for them.
Receiving Zhou Buxi's reply, in a soft shout from Yu Wan, they instantly ejected.
These female scorpions had just entered the dormant recovery stage, and were slightly sluggish, and before they could react, they were taken away by Zhou Butie or split into two parts.
After all, the difference in cultivation is there, and Yu Wan can only take the Six Finger Mountain to flatten them.
While the two were harvesting, they did not forget to put away the poisonous hooks of the dead male scorpions on the ground.
A moment later, they rushed to the entrance of the cave, and quickly returned to the small cave where they first woke up under the cover of Zhou Buxi's breath.
The two of them had been here for about half a month, and they had already figured out the entire underground passage under the cover of Zhou Buxi.
The reason why she hasn't left yet, firstly, the bayberry has not yet woken up, and secondly, Yu Wan wants to get some larvae from here to help the bayberry recover her body, and at the same time, by the way, she also tastes the taste of the raw pickled scorpion in the mouth of the master and the ancestor.
took out enough bayberry to use, taught the concoction method to Zhou Buxian in the evening, and the two started to do things separately.
After a while, the raw pickled scorpion was ready, and the joints of the bayberry's limbs were also coated with a thick layer of white medicinal mud.
Yu Wan also cooked a pot of scorpion treasure soup, fed it to bayberry first, and then ate it with Zhou Buxi, hum ha was more resistant to this kind of food, and it didn't come out in the spirit beast bag.
Zhou Buxian was also very resistant, but when she saw the neatly arranged pieces of milky white on the green jasper plate, with two plates of black vinegar and green mustard on the side, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva and sat down at the table against her will.
Yu Wan handed her a bowl of milky white soup, with green onions cut into small pieces floating on the surface.
Zhou Buxian took a deep breath, smelled the fragrance wafting from the soup, nodded towards Yu Wan, then picked up the bowl and drank it, and from time to time he picked up a milky white slice, dipped it in black vinegar and mustard, and chewed it in one bite.
Well~ It's delicious~ If you don't say it, who would have known that such a delicious and snow-white thing would come from a black scorpion underground.
For more than two months after that, except for occasionally going out to hunt some black scorpions to eat, Yu Wan and Zhou Buxi meditated and practiced in the cave.
Yangmei woke up after half a month of continuous application, and the muscles and bones of her limbs and joints were almost healed.
After the remaining one and a half months of continuing to apply medicine, diet therapy, and meditation, Yangmei finally fully recovered, and the spiritual objects that were replenished during this time successfully rose to the beginning of the 8th layer of Qi refining.
Zhou Buxian also completely removed the toxins in his body under the diet of drunken crabs.
During this time, Yu Wan finally opened up his stomach and intestines, and entered the late stage of the 8th layer of qi refining, and began to open up the middle and scorched gall intestines.
At this time, they finished pranayama, and all three of them were full of energy, ready to rush out of this place in one fell swoop.
The three of them went all the way, and if they were accidentally discovered, they would be directly killed by Zhou Buxian in the Jindan period.
It took 10 days to finally get out of the ground, and they finally saw the sun again.
After getting used to the outside light, Yang Mei happily spread her arms and spun, feeling the sunlight and breeze, she looked at a green plain on her right hand, and couldn't help but shout happily.
"It's beautiful! We're out of the desert~"
Yu Wan was also very happy, she closed her eyes and looked up to feel the warmth of the sun, and the corners of her mouth gradually rose.
"I didn't expect to go directly to the Juhua Plain, and I finally don't have to go to the wasteland and desert sea, which is also a good thing." Zhou Buxian said happily.
At this time, Yu Wan also looked at the green sea plain, and let out a hum, so that it could also relax.
About a moment later, Zhou Buxian spoke, "Let's go, as long as we cross the plains and cross the Tan River in the next 1 year, the Seeking Tower will not be far from us." ”
"In that case, we might as well take a gamble and see who gets to the place where the flowers and fruits are ripe first."
Yu Wan was interested, raised his hand to a blurred yellow area in the distance, and suggested to the two.
Zhou Buxian squinted in the direction she pointed and said, "Sister Wan, how about reducing our debt if you win." Otherwise, I feel like I'm going to have to work for you for the rest of my life to pay off my debts. ”
"If you win, you can." Yu Wan replied with a smile.
"Senior Sister Yu does what she says." Yangmei excitedly echoed on the side.
Yu Wan nodded to the two.
"In that case, I'll go first."
The corners of Zhou Butie's mouth hooked up a wicked smile, and before he finished speaking, he dodged and left, leaving only the voice floating in place.
"Senior Brother Zhou, you are cheating."
Yang Mei shouted and chased after her. Yu Wan called a hum, and also flew to catch up.
Trapped underground one after another, the people who have been staying for nearly half a year can't suppress the joy in their hearts, laughing and laughing all the way, and moving towards the destination in the lottery.
The sound of laughter spreads around, bringing a brief burst of popularity to this quiet oasis.
On the other side, Longying is at the junction of Juhua Plain, Naiya and Langu at the moment.
I saw that his eyes were dull and his movements were stiff at this time, and the strong wind on the top of the cliff blew his hair and clothes all up.
His crooked figure was walking firmly towards the Naiya Fracture step by step.
At the edge of the fracture was a crimson budding flower, which gently swayed back and forth with the wind on the cliff top, and if you looked closely, you could see the pale pink pollen flying towards the plain behind the dragon camp as it swung.
Behind the flowers is a cliff, which is bottomless and dark, and it is impossible to detect the danger within.
Attracted by the pollen, the dragon camp got closer and closer to the red flower.
When it was only 3 steps away, the budding saffron suddenly grew larger, and the bud bloomed to reveal the golden needle stamens that were shining in the cold light inside.
It stretched its buds wide and leaned forward, swallowing the dragon camp in one gulp.
The wind on the cliff is still strong, and the red flowers are also holding buds and pollen as usual, waiting for the arrival of the next prey.
On the edge of the plain, Yu Wan, who was making Lei Dun and Lingbo gossip, still lose Zhou.
However, she also expected this result, after all, she was a big realm away, in this case, she could reach Zhou Buxian only 3 breaths apart, and the speed was already very fast.
The three of them walked this way very happily, firstly because they were excited about the sun they hadn't seen for many months, and secondly, because there were hardly any demon beasts within a hundred miles of the Black Scorpion Cave.
This is the reason why the three of them are so presumptuous, their nerves have been tense for many days, and now they can finally rest and relax.
After setting up the formation in the evening, while directing Zhou Buxian and Yangmei to pick the yellow fruits in this area, his subordinates took out Lingmi, Qiu Kui meat, glazed vegetables, plums, and the black iron plate that was made when making mandarin duck iron plates before, and began to process the ingredients.
After a while, the sizzling sound of hot oil cooking came from the iron plate.
On the other side, the two who were still picking yellow polyhuaguo also smelled the aroma of rice and meat coming from the air, and their speed instantly increased a lot.
A moment later, there were two more yellow-green hills on the edge of the formation, which were the fruits of the two people's labor.
Yu Wan had already learned about it in the Hundred Herbs Sutra before, and even there was an introduction to this thing in the Food Sutra.
Therefore, she skillfully picked up the golden knife, cut off the dark green phoenix tail leaf bush on the head of the poly-flower fruit, peeled off the yellow hard skin on the surface of the fruit, and dug out the orderly arrangement of the fruit eyes.
As soon as the knife technique came out, it didn't take long for pieces of golden rings with the thickness of the little finger knuckles and a perforated center to be neatly arranged on the iron plate, and the edges of each piece were deep and shallow, which were the hard skin and eye holes that had been cut off from the surface of the fruit.
Wait until the pulp is baked until it is 8 minutes cooked, and then stack it layer by layer directly on the iron plate in the evening according to the order of fried rice crackers, Qiu Kui meat cakes, glazed cabbage leaves, poly fruit slices, glazed cabbage leaves, Qiu Kui meat cakes, and fried rice cakes.
In this way, a Lingmi Fenghuan Fort is ready.
In the end, she also made five plum versions of Myburgh, just replacing the poly flower fruit slices.
Put the jade plates piled up with rice forts on the square table, and take out some of them for Humm.
The three of them sat down together, and after Zhou Buxian and Yangmei nodded at the same time, they couldn't wait to pick up a rice burgh, open their mouths wide and bite it.
Click~click~
The crisp sound kept ringing, and it was the sound of fried brown rice crackers and glazed cabbage leaves being bitten off.
During the mealtime, the three of them did not talk a word, they were all concentrating on eating, and their mouths were very busy.
Holding Myburgh with both hands, he pressed it tightly and then took a bite so that he ate all the layers at once......
The rice is burnt and fragrant, the meat is juicy, the fruit is sweet and sour, and the leaves are crisp~
Wood aura, thunder aura, and earth aura rushed into the abdomen first.
Obtaining aura in this way is truly blissful.
Eating quietly, at the end, the three of them tacitly picked up the plum version of Rice Burgh and took a bite according to the same operation.
Although the plum is also sweet and sour, the sour taste is heavier, and the whole taste is completely different from that of polyhuaguo.
Its flesh is juicy, the water aura is abundant and soft, and the overall flavor is the same as that of Fenghuanbao.
After eating, Zhou Buxian and Yang Mei tacitly cleaned up the table, and the three of them found a place to start meditating.
Hum Ha lay on his lap as usual and slept comfortably.
On this night, the evening breeze is cool, the moonlight is like water, and there is only a full moon hanging low on the hills.
On the edge of the cliff, the red flowers under the moonlight are covered with a thin veil.
It's not as leisurely absorbing and spitting powder as it usually is at the moment.
There is no wind at the moment, but you can still see its swaying stems from side to side, and if you look closely at the buds, you can see that the surface of the buds has tiny bumps from time to time.
In the second half of the night, the moonlight disappeared, and the surroundings fell into darkness.
There was a sudden sound of falling to the ground in the quiet space, and it turned out that the bud finally couldn't bear it anymore, and actually spit out the prey that the day had swallowed.
Before the prey's blade arrived, it hurriedly closed its buds and used its petals to resist the cold attack.
A burst of sparks shot out, and the increasingly embarrassed dragon camp appeared.
He held the goose feather knife in his hand, slashing at the buds, the bun on the top of his head spread out and stuck to his face, and his clothes became even more torn.
After slashing several times in a row to no avail, he had no choice but to put away the Yanling knife, turned around and jumped up, and flew away in the direction of Langu.
The safflower swayed slightly, and began to sow pollen again after the dragon camp left.
There are always prey that can be swallowed and digested, and it took a hundred years to wait for human cultivation to come in again.
It's not in a hurry.
Ask for a monthly pass~
In other words, can friends guess what Juhua Fruit is? The author also found out that it still has this name when he was looking for information.
This castle is one of the author's favorites, sweet and sour, and I want to have another one after eating one. When I was a child, I followed my aunt to DKS to eat a rice burger, and I can no longer forget the outer layer of rice crackers, I always want to combine the two, it must be particularly delicious~ [Gluttonous]
