"Hiss~"

The alien snake seemed to feel some kind of extremely terrifying, almost natural enemy-like aura, and in a flash, it quickly turned around and fled, burrowed into the tree hole, and disappeared without a trace.

"Survived!"

Chen Che breathed a long sigh of relief, quickly stretched out his hand, and picked up the broken eggshell in the bird's nest.

The next moment.

In the eyebrows, the purple seal shook slightly, forming a line of ancient and clumsy words:

[The remnants of the three strange eggs, containing a little mountain and sea Yuanqi, can be ingested by chewing raw food. 】

"It actually contains the Yuan Qi of the mountains and seas?"

Chen Che's eyes lit up, and when he was about to read carefully, he suddenly realized that the strange snake was lurking in the tree hole, and he couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart:

"Ahem, it's better to go back to the ground first."

He didn't dare to guarantee how long the "human-faced blood pupil" would scare the strange snake, and hurriedly climbed down the tree.

After completely moving away from the old birch tree and entering a relatively safe area, Chen Che immediately sat down on the ground, panting heavily.

After all.

Shekou is frightened.

It was really frightening that he was covered in a cold sweat and physically and mentally exhausted.

After resting for a while, he took out the broken eggshell, and he didn't dare to wash it indiscriminately, for fear of washing away the Shanhai Yuanqi contained in it.

Chen Che kept one of the fragments with three blood patterns and put it in his arms, and chewed most of the rest of the eggshells.

Swallow into belly.

First, there was an indescribably strange smell.

But the moment the eggshell powder entered the stomach, the refreshing and cool breath surged, quickly merged into the sea of eyebrows, and was swallowed by the blue and purple seal.

【Shanhai Yuanqi +4】

"It is worthy of being a quasi-spirit sheep, just the remnants are equivalent to two gloomy wooden boxes", Chen Che was happy in his heart, and secretly thought: "It is still far from enough to raise [Food Qi] or [Night Eye] to Dacheng, but the awakening of the third talent is just right. ”

As soon as his mind moved, the bruised purple seal shook violently, emitting three faint rays of white light, not his eyes and nose, but his lower limbs.

Not for a while.

Chen Che felt that his lower limbs were wrapped in heat and ushered in a transformation.

Every inch of flesh and blood in the legs seemed to have turned into iron embryos, stretched, beaten, and calcined, and gradually became stronger and more powerful.

It's so comfortable~

He almost groaned, feeling only his lower limbs—pain and pleasure—enjoying the wonder he had never felt before.

After about 30 breaths, the transformation of the feet and legs of the heat flow was gradually completed, but it stopped abruptly as soon as it penetrated into the bones.

Shanhai Yuanqi, used up.

[Refining degree increased to 9.] 】

[Long walking (Xiaocheng): Over the mountains and mountains, agile feet and legs, walking silently. 】

"Walking silently?"

Chen Che was curious, and tried to walk a few laps in the mountains and forests, and couldn't help but be amazed.

Even if you step on a tree branch, you will never make any sound under your feet, like a sniper rifle with a muffler.

I don't know how many times stronger than the assassins in film and television dramas who accidentally stepped on a tree branch, made a noise, and finally relied on cats to save the scene.

With this stealth talent.

His ability to catch pheasants was a little older, and he walked around the woods a few times, and found another golden pheasant.

And it is more precious, the red-bellied golden pheasant, which is loved by the old man, even if it is Liuyang Town, can be sold for a high price of three or four hundred Wen.

That's not a small amount.

You must know that when peasant households produce grain a year, excluding the spring and autumn taxes, taxes, rations, and seeds, they can only sell eight or nine hundred copper plates.

Oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, clothing, pots and bowls, fire consumption, rush to collect tariffs, feather and arrow taxes, insurance money, gang silver, office silver, library characters, husband armor, liao bao, husband service, post passing, military service, salaries, in addition, officials also invented the consumption of grain piles, buryed, flew away, scheming, insinuation, and transfer, and the local large households had covering, impersonation, escape, concealment, and tampering, and passed on the pressure of tax payment and servitude to ordinary people...... Layer upon layer of consumption, up and down, most of the people, all year round, can save three or four dollars of silver, that is, a solid family, even if they do hard labor, a day's wages, is only thirty or forty yuan.

The first time he entered the mountain, he could earn more than 400 yuan in just one night's work, Chen Che was already satisfied, and when he had enough experience in the mountains and forests, he would naturally be able to earn more.

"When you save enough money, make a few pairs of 'thyme', and solve a small strange snake, isn't it still a handle?"

Chen Che licked his lips, his heart was full of longing, just the "remnants of the three strange eggs", and he awakened a new ability-[Long Walk].

So, how many mountains and seas should the strange snake that devoured the three strange eggs contain? Double, triple? Or is it more? What talent can he awaken?

【Owner: Chen Che】

【Destiny: Searching the Mountains and Conquering Demons】

[Rank: Sheep Herd (Refining 9%)]

【Shanhai Yuanqi:0】

[Awakened talents: Food Qi (Xiaocheng), Night Eye (Xiaocheng), Long Walk (Xiaocheng). 】

[Evaluation: The body is like a treasure trove, taking three golds shallowly, traveling through the mountains and forests, and exploring the secrets. 】

Chen Che thought about it for a long time, and gradually had a plan:

"After returning to Liuyang Town, you must configure a pair of thyme as soon as possible, this thing restrains insects and snakes, and with it, you can have the certainty of dealing with strange snakes."

…………

When the three rounds of red sun rose in the east one after another, the dense fog in the late autumn morning had not yet dissipated, and the streets of Liuyang Town were already filled with bursts of cooking smoke.

Along the way, there is an endless stream of vendors.

Woodcutters, tea farmers, hunters, medicine pickers and other mountain people, after eating breakfast, broke into the dangerous mountains of the southern wilderness, all they asked for was firewood, rice, oil and salt, and the family made a living.

"A white-bellied golden pheasant, a red one, I don't know how much it can be sold?"

Chen Che estimated the price in his heart, lowered the brim of his hat, and covered the upper half of his face with a scarf, and then walked quickly to a restaurant that received mountain goods.

The boss's surname is Ji, his name is three, he is a little old man in his fifties, he has some blood relationship with the Ji family, a big family in Hejian County, so he is respected as the third master.

Although this man is good at bargaining, he never cheats, and he is not deceitful, so the business is excellent, and there are four or five tables with hunters seated.

The tall hunters grumbled while eating fried chestnuts with sugar:

"Now the harvest on the periphery of the mountains in the southern wilderness is getting less and less, running from morning to night, I accidentally inhaled several miasma, if it weren't for the tip of the fairy Gu but more than a hundred zhang, Lao Tzu hurriedly urinated, wet the cloth strips to cover his face, I'm afraid I won't come back."

"Be content, I didn't open yesterday."

"I heard that Zhao Lengsong, that old thing, took his apprentice Gao Jinzhong, the big-nosed man Jiang Quan, and more than a dozen family members into the mountain, but when he passed by Xiongxi, he was attacked by a group of barbarians, beaten hard, and even the horse was robbed, hahahaha."

Listen to their small talk.

Chen Che sighed in his heart, strode to the chestnut pot, looked at the sweaty Ji Sanye, and said seriously: "Third master, do you want mountain goods?" ”

Seeing that the person who came was thin and tall like a thin dog, Ji Sanye was a little contemptuous, and replied casually: "Wait a minute, I will finish this pot when I am a little old man." ”

Chen Che nodded, stood aside, and silently watched Ji Sanye shake the cauldron and stir-fry the chestnuts, which was also quite interesting.

Soon.

The aroma grows stronger.

A pot of fragrant and sweet fried chestnuts with sugar, freshly baked.

As soon as the hunters swarmed up, in the blink of an eye, they snatched up the full pot of delicacies.

Just as Ji Sanye was about to make the next pot, he saw Chen Che who was waiting silently on the side, so he patted his head and said with guilt on his face: "I'm really sorry, today's business is too good, I was so busy that I forgot about you, the guest officer." ”

"It doesn't matter."

Although he was a little despised, Chen Che also knew that Ji Sanye didn't mean it, so he took off the back basket and took out the white-bellied golden pheasant from it.

Ji Sanye looked at it, nodded and said: "The live white-bellied golden chicken, one hundred and twenty wen for hair, ninety wen for plucking, which one kind of guest officer to choose?" ”

Chen Che replied without thinking: "Leave hair." ”

In the inner city, there is a group of elite soldiers, about 150 or 60 soldiers, who will collect "feather and arrow tax" and "border protection money" from local mountain people, hunters and traders every spring and autumn.

There are still twenty days before the payment of the "feather tax", and Chen Che is confident that he will catch three or five more pheasants during this time, so at the moment, cash is the most important.

"Is there anything else the guest has learned?"

"Yes."

Chen Che took out the red-bellied golden chicken from the back basket, and seeing this, Ji Sanye's original nonchalan expression immediately made him a little surprised:

"That's good stuff."
