Chapter 54: Divine Grass
Without the Earth Soul Rat, there would be no special potion, Wang Lung thought about it again and again, and decided to catch some Earth Soul Rats first, he didn't know if Lu Dao's idea of doing this would be successful, but if he didn't do it, he always felt a little regretful in his heart.
From the point of view of appearance, the earth soul rat is not much different from an ordinary mouse, it just has no eyes, but the earth soul rat is not blind, it can still distinguish the direction without eyes, and its perception is very strong, even if ordinary people are less than half of it.
The earth soul rat lives underground all the year round, and it is rare to come out for activities three or five days a year, and the one killed by Wang Lung has just run out of the ground, but he didn't expect to be killed instead of a sneak attack.
The cave of the earth soul rat is easy to find, the key is how to catch the problem, within a radius of thousands of miles, fifty meters underground, there are thousands of earth soul rats, they have built their own kingdom underground, and there are caves and passages dug by the earth soul rats everywhere, extending in all directions, denser than the sewer pipes of the city.
Relying on brute force is not able to catch the earth soul rat, even if the entire swamp area is turned upside down, it may not be successful, fortunately, Wang Lung knows a major weakness of the earth soul rat, greed, especially like to eat ghost grass, which is a kind of spirit grass, but also a poisonous weed, ordinary people eat it and die directly, and the earth soul rat will also be in a trance after eating, fluttering like a fairy, just like taking drugs.
Ghost grass is common, but unfortunately Wang Lung has not collected it, but he doesn't have it doesn't mean that others don't, I remember that when he killed Hong Yiping, there was ghost grass in the other party's storage spirit weapon.
Back in the flying machine, I asked a gang to take out a ghost grass, dark green leaves, less than three inches, emitting a disgusting strange smell, fragrant, rancid, all kinds of smells mixed together. Wang Lung frowned.
With the ghost grass, Wang Lung was about to hunt and kill the earth soul rat, but he was stopped just as he wanted to leave.
"You're going like this?"
Wang Lung looked at him suspiciously: "Isn't it okay?"
He shook his head and said helplessly: "It's true that the Earth Soul Rat loves to eat ghost grass, if you put it on the mouth of the cave, it won't attract the Earth Soul Rat at all, the smell of this kind of thing can't spread far, and the Earth Soul Rat can't smell it in the ground at all." You won't be able to catch a ground soul rat even if you wait a year. ”
"Huh?" Wang Lung asked in surprise, "Then what do you say?"
With a smile, he glanced at Wang Long, and motioned to the other party to look at the cultivation cabin, the meaning was very clear, he was a pharmacist, and he could make the ghost grass work wonders.
Seeing that he was playing a little clever with himself, he stretched out his finger and pointed at the other party, but did not speak, but walked towards the cultivation cabin.
He was practicing, waiting for Wang Lung to wake him up. It had been more than ten minutes later, but what left him speechless was that he didn't plan to walk out of the cultivation cabin at all, but reached out and stuffed a note to Wang Long, closing the door of the cultivation cabin again.
Wang Lung looked down and smiled bitterly in his heart, this note was not just written, it was written by Yu Kong a long time ago yesterday. And I deliberately left time on it.
After reading the note in his hand, Wang Lung casually threw it to one. Because in addition to the method of how to play the miraculous effect of the ghost grass, there is also a cruel sentence: "Next time, whoever dares to wake me up in advance for no reason, I will not finish with whom." ”
Wang Lung shook his head, ignoring the daze on the side, and jumped off the flying machine with the ghost grass.
The method of giving empty is very simple, and Wang Lung estimated that he should actually know the Tao. The reason why I didn't say it was because I wanted to use Wang Lung to occupy the cultivation cabin, but I didn't expect to provoke the emptiness.
The method is simple, light the fire and roast the ghost grass to maximize the smell. By the way, take a fan to fan the cave of the earth soul rat, but it is a little troublesome, the fan is easy to say, dry firewood is not easy to find, this is a swamp area, where to find dry firewood, Wang Lung ran for two hours and did not find much dry firewood, the most helpless, can only use hay to make a living.
Firewood can be burned for a longer time, and the hay burns quickly, Wang Lung was afraid that it would not be enough to burn, so he directly made a lot of it, and he couldn't hold it by himself, so he could only stuff it into the storage artifact.
Everything was ready, Wang Lung found a cave mouth of an earth soul rat, used the law of fire he mastered, made a small flame, and soon a bonfire was burning, and he didn't use anything to hold the ghost grass, he grabbed it directly with his hands, anyway, he had rough skin and thick flesh, and this temperature had no effect on him.
Half an hour passed quickly, and the hay in Wang Long's storage spirit weapon had been burned by one-third, but not a single earth soul rat had appeared so far, and the underground cave more than fifty meters deep had already passed the smell in, was this method wrong.
Just when Wang Lung was puzzled, a rustling voice came into his ears, and Wang Lung's face was happy: "Ha Luha, here you are." ”
It is indeed the earth soul rat that came, and there are quite a few of them, the hole is too small, and it can only accommodate one half of the ground soul rat at most, but Wang Lung just grabbed the first one and found that there were two earth soul rat heads stuck at the entrance of the cave at the same time, and they couldn't go up or down, and there was a squeaky sound behind them.
In order to catch more earth soul rats, Wang Lung did not hesitate to dirty the storage spirit weapon, grabbed one and threw it into the storage spirit weapon, before it was dark, Wang Lung returned to the flying machine, not that the earth soul mouse was not there, but that the storage spirit weapon really couldn't be loaded.
When he went back, Wang Lung's expression was stunned, and he actually came out of the cultivation cabin, with a comfortable expression and a smile, while the one next to him looked like a frosted eggplant, looking listless, no need to ask, he must have been subdued by his brother.
The little between the two brothers, Wang Lung didn't bother to pay attention to it, it happened to be empty, Wang Lung asked him to help refine the potion, this time there are enough earth soul rats, and he should be able to make a lot.
After a whole night's busy work, nearly a thousand earth soul rats were all slaughtered by Wang Lung, and let Kong help configure about fifty catties of special medicinal water, which was enough for Wang Lung to squander.
After dawn, Wang Lung entered the swamp and began to work, before leaving, a told him that last night, the three-hundred-year-old Nine Nights Fennel was active again, and the activity route was still extremely complicated, according to its walking route, it was about the same as the day before yesterday, and the straight-line distance was about 300 kilometers, and the water polya grass, there was no movement last night, it seemed to be similar to Wang Lung's guess, as for the others, there was still not much change, and they were active at night, and no one was lost.
This time, Wang Lung applied the potion with a target. Most of them were smeared on the spirit grass, and as for the ordinary weeds, he didn't smear them again, but selectively, leaving only one mark on each one, and not repeating it. This is also to verify the original guess.
It took several days of busy work for Wang Lung to use up all the special potions, and the plants that he applied the potion with were no less than a million, and there were about tens of thousands of spirit grasses, and this was only half a swamp land, and there were more than 10,000 spirit grasses, and the types of weeds were even more terrifying.
Looking at the fruits of his labor, Wang Lung was relieved. In the past few days, he has not only applied potions, but also looked for thousand-year-old Nine Night Fennel everywhere, and smeared the herb to find grass, but unfortunately there was no gain, and the thousand-year-old Nine Night Fennel was not found, but there were many in other years, from a hundred years to seven or eight hundred years, and there were more than forty plants. This should be enough for data analysis.
What has been done in the past few days has not been smooth sailing. After all, this is the Green Plains Star, and it is not new to encounter anything, unless he encounters a cultivator in the distraction period, there are no less than twenty beasts who harass him, and there are two cultivators from alien planets, but before they meet. Wang Lung entered the aircraft in advance, fortunately there was a wind, otherwise it would have been another fight.
Sitting in front of the virtual screen, Wang Lung stared at the marked point above, covering the entire swamp. The marked points of those activities ran around, and his guess should be correct, only the spirit grass will be active at night, but there are exceptions, there is a weed that has a trace of movement last night.
When applying the potion, Wang Lung marked the spirit grass and weeds differently, and there was also a clear classification in the monitoring system of the aircraft, a few days ago, those weeds did not move at all, Wang Lung wanted to delete those marking points, but he suggested observing for a while longer.
Fortunately, a reminder that last night, a weed actually moved a distance, not long, only more than 20 meters, the swamp area is too large, and there is no change from the virtual screen projection, but this does not hide the monitoring system of the aircraft.
Seeing the prompt, Wang Long's expression was stunned, he could still distinguish between weeds and spirit grass, and he shouldn't mark it wrong, as for what would move, he could only see it during the day.
At dawn the next day, Wang Lung first went to see the moving weed, and after finding it, he found that he had not marked it wrong, this grass was still taking root and growing, there was no trace of human movement, and he raised his eyes and looked into the distance, where this grass grew yesterday, and it had been occupied by other spirit grasses.
It's not that the thousand-year-old Nine Nights were found, but a three-thousand-year-old fairy tear, this kind of spiritual grass is similar to the root of the dragon, although the year is somewhat different, but the fairy tears of more than three thousand years are more precious than the root of the ten thousand years.
Accidentally getting a fairy tear did not make Wang Lung forgetful, for a weed that can move, he still doesn't know why, it may be an unrecorded spirit grass, its efficacy needs to be studied, or it may be some other reason, this problem Wang Lung is not easy to explain, so he can only collect the weed and let the air help to see.
In this way, time passed little by little, Wang Lung did not grasp the soul rat to refine the potion, these marks were enough, if he couldn't find a pattern, he had nothing to say.
After observing for another week and confirming that weeds do not move at night, only tens of thousands of markers were left on the virtual screen, and those were all spirit grasses, including more than forty Nine Night Fennels.
During the day, Wang Lung still diligently went down to the swamp to look for the thousand-year-old Nine Nights, and at night he stared at the virtual screen, just like that, a month and a half passed in the blink of an eye, and Wang Lung never left this swamp for a single step.
"Whew...... Wang Lung moved his stiff body, exhaled a breath of turbidity and said, "How is the data collected?"
"I think it's about the same, wait for the data to be richer at night, and start the calculation after dawn. He nodded and said.
"Well, you keep an eye on it, I'll sleep for a while. Wang Lung rubbed his forehead and said apologetically.
"Go ahead, you haven't rested in a long time, here I am, you can sleep well. ”
Wang Lung stretched out his hand and patted Yi's shoulder, and was just about to go to the lounge, when he rushed over from the side in a hurry: "Xiaolong, Ha Luha, what a big discovery, do you know Lu Dao......
Yihe Wang Lung's gaze all turned to the air, seeing his excited appearance was completely confused, this guy had been meditating in the cultivation cabin recently, and suddenly popped out, startling them.
"Don't get excited, speak slowly. Wang Lung stretched out his hand to stop the air rushing towards him, and motioned to the other party to slow down first.
"Do you remember the weed that was given to me the other day?" asked as he stared at Wang Lung with a dead gaze.
"A few days ago?" Wang Lung thought carefully, but unfortunately he didn't have that memory in his mind, and just wanted to ask something, but he spoke.
"Stinky boy, a few days ago? It's been more than a month, are you too confused?"
After a reminder, Wang Lung finally realized that the weed that he said was the guy whose nest was occupied by fairy tears and ran for more than 20 meters to re-root, isn't that a weed, is it really any amazing effect?
"Yes, through my painstaking research this month, I found that this grass has the effect of 'flesh and bones'. Sora said excitedly.
"What?' Flesh and Bone?, Really?" asked Ichi, who couldn't hold his breath at first.
He nodded vigorously: "I can't lie to you yet, but there is a little flaw, which should be solved." ”
"What flaw?" This time Wang Lung became interested, what is the concept of 'flesh and bones', he couldn't be clearer, it was originally a weed, but he didn't expect it to have such an anti-heaven effect, and it turned into a 'divine grass'.
"A little bit of effect, it may or may not be related to its age, but adding other spirit grasses can make an elixir similar to the Blood God Pill. Sora said.
"Have you analyzed its vintage?" asked Wang Long.
"Yes, from the texture, the rhizome, the color, etc., I only analyzed it for one to two years. ”
Wang Lung nodded in satisfaction, pondered for a moment and continued to ask, "Then how did you come up with such an effect?"
"Smear it on bones, of course......"
Speaking of this, Sora had to stop, because he found that Yihe Wang Lung's eyes were sweeping over him, and the position where his gaze stayed was a little wrong, he looked down at his crotch, and couldn't help but shudder. (To be continued......)
