Chapter 173: Young Man, We Meet Again!
Two days later.
The edge of the Blue Moon Swamp.
Leo drives away a group of greedy leeches on the shore, and Sleeping Flower takes the opportunity to collect lotus seeds in the Qingyue Swamp, which is full of mud and rotten lotus leaves.
"The silver lotus seed has been picked!" "Mianhua's luck was excellent, and after a while, a silver lotus seed was collected.
This silver lotus seed is one of the materials used to make moon candy.
Very rare.
Even the Blue Moon Swamp, one of the production areas, has a 1 in 10,000 chance of yielding.
Leo flew in mid-air and kept driving away those demon leeches. This kind of monster is not terrible in the Tianfeng Continent, it is generally only a black iron-level existence, and bronze-level demon leeches are relatively rare. However, here, because they are in the special space sealed by the ancients, they have been infected by some kind of evil qi and evolved, and there are many bronze level existences, and even silver level There are many of them.
They have very low intelligence, relying mainly on instinct and large numbers to hunt, but they are extremely greedy, and want to swallow living creatures when they see them.
Magic leeches are not afraid of fire.
The skin is able to secrete a special type of mucus to defend against the damage of the flames.
As for acid poison or external impact, they are even more afraid, their soft body has a very corrosive acid poison, and the digestive juice in the mouth can easily melt human bones. Magical leeches with a body length of more than ten meters are capable of swallowing anything less than their body length into their stomachs, and tiny creatures like humans are nothing more than their snacks.
Of course, the leeches are not without their weaknesses.
Evolved by evil pollution, they are terrified of pure light.
If it is irradiated by pure light energy for a long time, the body of the magic leech will even melt little by little.
"I'm so lucky, I found another one!" Sleeping flowers flew among the countless lotus flowers that had become black after being polluted, and after a while, she found another silver lotus seed.
"That's enough, don't look any further. "Leo was afraid that she would be raided, so he told her to hurry back.
"I'll find another one. "Sleepy Flower knew that the materials should be prepared well, and Leo told her that last time, she should prepare an extra copy of the materials.
"Be careful, watch out for thin parasitic wasps here, and don't let them get close. Leo wasn't worried about the magic leeches attacking the sleeping flowers, the huge size of the magic leeches couldn't hide his eyes, but some parasitic wasps were small, smaller than their fingers, and they were very good at camouflaging themselves, so they couldn't guard against it.
"Don't worry about Sleeping Flowers, no creatures here dare to come close to me!" Sleeping Flowers found that the fragrance on her body would scare away all kinds of small insects, and she was very calm.
Leo certainly knew that.
If Mianhua didn't have the pure fragrance of flowers and the protection of flowers, he wouldn't dare to bring her here.
It's just that even if there is, it is still necessary to be cautious, because this is a nine-story ancient prison, and anything can happen.
Ten minutes later.
With the induction of the heart of nature, Mianhua found another silver lotus seed.
She flew up to Leo and held up the three silver lotus seeds, which were very large for her size, in her small hands: "Look, the sleeping flower has overfulfilled the task!"
Leo gave him a thumbs up: "You have made a great contribution to Mianhua!"
Sleeping Flower smiled happily: "This task is very simple, next time it will be more difficult to give one to the Sleeping Flower Sect!"
Leo deliberately held his chin and thought, "If you say that, it seems that there is a particularly difficult task...... Private Sleeping Flowers, we're ready to leave the Blue Moon Swamp, and you lead the way in front!"
Mianhua immediately gave him a cute salute: "Yes, Captain Leo!"
A day later.
White-fronted valley.
The killer bees in the sky chased after the sleeping flowers like dark clouds.
Frightened, her little face turned pale, and she flapped her little wings desperately, desperately trying to escape from this terrible valley.
She hadn't thought that gathering a little sap here, those killer bees would go crazy to such an extent. Fortunately, Leo, who was waiting at Taniguchi, prepared a huge rock palm, and as soon as the sleeping flower arrived, he immediately wrapped her in the rock palm and dived deep into the ground.
Even so, the surface that had submerged was still a huge crater drilled out of the tornado by the killer bees.
If Leo hadn't been running fast underground, he might have been caught by them.
Sneaked for ten kilometers.
Finally.
only to get rid of the crazy pursuit of the murderous swarm.
"Why are they so crazy when they just collect a little bit of sap and don't do anything else?"
"Haha, because the sap of the white-fronted tree has a very special sweet fragrance in it, and the larvae of killer bees like to eat it very much. You went to collect it just now, and the special sweetness of the white-fronted sap came out, and the larvae of the killer bees couldn't stand it, so they secreted a smell for the adult killer bees to collect the white-fronted sap......" Leo waited until he was in a safe place before explaining the sleeping pills one by one.
"Why does the smell of the larvae of killer wasps make adult killer bees collect sap?"
"The smell secreted by the larvae is equivalent to the crying of a human baby, and when the baby is crying, does the mother have to feed her? If the killer bee does not feed the larvae, they will keep secreting that smell. If there is too much of this smell, it will temporarily suppress the smell of the queen bee, and the killer bee will also be chaotic without the guidance of the queen scent, so the requirements of the larvae must be met. Leo patiently explained to her.
"Then collect it and give it to them!" Sleepy Flower blinked with big eyes.
"If you eat a little bit of white-fronted sap, it will be good for the larvae, and the evolution will be smoother, but they can't eat too much, and if they eat too much, the larvae of the killer bee will grow very slowly, so the killer bee queen only allows them to eat a little bit before their body metamorphoses into a killer bee. Leo explained the real reason.
"It's not okay if you don't give it, and it's even more impossible to give them food, so the killer bee queen is very angry when she sees it, so she will send so many killer bees to chase us, right?"
"Yes. Leo nodded.
"Then why didn't the killer bees move away from the White-Fronted Valley, wouldn't it be nice if the larvae didn't smell the sweet scent?"
"The sap of the white-fronted tree is good for metamorphosis, and the larvae of the killer bee eat it and evolve to be more powerful. There are also young queen bees, who must also be raised with it, and the sap of the white-fronted tree is an indispensable material for the growth of killer bees, so that they will not give this place to other creatures!" Leo shook his head when he heard this.
"I see, Sleepy Flower has learned new knowledge again!" Sleepy Flower flew to Leo's forehead and kissed him quickly.
"Wouldn't it be fun to learn something new while collecting materials?" said Leole.
"Well, I'm so happy!" Mianhua smiled with crooked eyes, so unhappy.
"Then let's continue to collect the next one!" Leo tapped his finger at Sleepy Flower's little head, "Also, the reason why the killer bee is chasing you so wildly is because you stole a sip of white-fronted tree sap during the collection process!"
"Sleepy Flower just didn't hold back and took a small sip, isn't that okay?" Sleepy Flower touched her two index fingers in front of her with a little embarrassment.
"When you take a sip, the smell gets on you, and the killer bees are crazy because they mistake you for an enemy who wants to take away what they protect. If you don't have a smell on you, they won't chase you anymore, and they won't chase you like they did before. Leo explained it to her.
"I'm sorry, Sleepy Flower didn't listen to you, and couldn't help but take a small sip. Sleepy apologized pitifully to Leo.
"If it's just a small bite, it should be fine. Leo said a small foul was forgivable.
"Really?" Mianhua was immediately relieved when she heard this.
"Did you really take a sip of it?" Leo looked at her.
"I can guarantee that it is just a small sip, the white forehead sap tastes a little strange, and I haven't sniffed it before, so I can't hold back it for a while...... However, Mianhua really just took a small sip of it, not a lot, and Mianhua actually remembered Leo's words in her heart, but she was careful to foul it!" Mianhua blinked and looked at Leo with watery eyes.
"Well, since you're a minor foul, then I'll forgive you!" Leo knew that this would happen, and he was secretly amused in his heart, but being able to use this example to make her understand some right and wrong was the result that Leo wanted most.
"Do you really forgive Sleepy?" Sleepy Blossom was full of joy and flew up and down.
"If you don't foul again in the future, I'll forgive you!" Leo said that there were still conditions.
"Sleepy flowers promise not to foul, no matter how delicious they come across in the future, if Leo doesn't say that they can eat it, Sleepy Flowers will never eat it, guaranteed!" Sleepy flowers made a promise to Leo with a serious face.
"It's okay usually, if there's something that's impossible to eat, I'll tell you, just like I told you not to try the white forehead sap when you took on the task before. Leo touched his finger on the top of Sleepy Flower's head, and Sleepy Flower flew up and hugged Leo's finger as a hug to show his gratitude for forgiving him so quickly.
"Sleepy Flower likes this Leo the most!" Sleepy Flower felt that getting Leo's forgiveness was sweeter than drinking the sap of the white forehead tree, and it was simply sweet.
"Let's continue to collect materials, when we are almost ready, we will go to the fifth layer of the Wanxing Moon Ancient Prison, and while looking for our little friends, we will collect the Moon Flower Juice, the most important material of the Moon Candy!
"Well, the sleeping flowers are ready, let's go, let's go!"
Half a month later.
Leo and Sleepy Flower while collecting materials in the Shadow Hills.
Suddenly, a light breeze blew, Leo frowned, and instantly reached out to protect the sleeping flower in front of him in the palm of his hand.
Miyaka doesn't know what's going on yet.
She looked in.
Finding that Leo had become extremely serious, he suddenly realized that something was wrong: "Is there an enemy?"
Leo nodded slightly: "You have to be careful of the enemy's sneak attack, don't get too far away from me, the enemy is very good at stealth!"
Mianhua hurriedly flew back to Leo's bodice pocket, so that she wouldn't make trouble for him at an important moment! It was the first time she had seen Leo so cautious and serious after living with Leo for so long!
"Young man, we're meeting again! If you haven't forgotten, remember what I told you last time!"
A light breeze blew.
A transparent figure eerily appeared in the shadows of the hills.
