From the ground to where the branches are, there is a distance of hundreds of feet. When climbing on this stone tree, people feel even more insignificant, and when they have no inner energy and only rely on the body to climb, it is like carrying a heavy burden and working harder than usual. I do not know how many times to go.
Gu Zuo hung on Gongyi Tianheng's back, only to feel that his eldest brother's movements were very dexterous, and he went up several dozen feet in a short period of time without slowing down at all.
Gongyi Tianheng's foundation was firm, although it was more difficult to carry Gu Zuo on his back than he was alone, but he didn't stop at all, and it didn't take long before he approached the branches.
Gu Zuo raised his head a little and saw the densely packed and incomparably huge layer of branches, right in front of him.
Gongyi Tianheng said: "Azuo, be careful."
Gu Zuo held his breath: "I know, big brother."
Both of them understood that after getting on this layer, it is estimated that they will be easily attacked. There are not many ground worms below, but when it is covered by layers of branches, it is not necessarily so.
According to their observations, there may not be stone eggs where the ground worms are, but where there are stone eggs, most of them will be guarded by mature ground worms—after all, there are often evil beasts near the treasures of heaven and earth.
The fact did not surprise the two of them.
When Gongyi Tianheng used the soles of his feet again, stepped on a raised bark, and used his strength to straighten up into the branches, a gray light suddenly appeared!
Gu Zuo was already prepared, his mental power had already formed a shield, blocking the two of them, and his mental power was sufficient, and he soon condensed a big sword again, instantly dismantling the shield, and the gray light collided directly. , cut it in an instant! Then seven or eight knives went away one after another.
That gray light didn't expect Gu Zuo's counterattack to be so quick. Before he could get close to the two of them, he was cut open and died, and his body was also taken away by Gu Zuo!
Gu Zuo breathed a sigh of relief, but still did not neglect.
Without him, just guard against other worms.
Gongyi Tianheng praised: "Azuo did a good job."
Gu Zuo smiled a little embarrassedly: "Brother, let's start looking!"
Gongyi Tianheng turned around and stepped directly on a very thick branch. Gu Zuo's mental power was released and extended forward towards this branch.
Between the branches and the branches, in addition to forming a continuous net, there will also be many "nests", which are deep and shallow, up and down, and many of them are formed like dark caves, embedded in the countless branches, which looks quite impressive. Something weird.
Gu Zuo's mental power was useless this time around, but divided into several strands, some of which followed every stone leaf on this sturdy branch, while others probed into those tree nests one by one. search.
According to his idea, if there will be stone eggs on this stone tree, it should either be surrounded by stone leaves like fruit, or hidden in these tree nests that look like insects...
And when Gu Zuo looked like this, he encountered something wrong.
Because his mental power this time is more condensed, after inserting into a certain tree nest, suddenly, it seems to be missing a bit... He immediately reacted, it was swallowed!
Gu Zuo's heart froze, and when the mental power was not completely swallowed up, he instantly took back the remaining mental power. The strange thing is that the sudden sense of crisis also gradually appeared, and when the mental power quickly gathered up At that time, a ground worm more than two meters long suddenly sprang out from the tree nest that had penetrated into it!
Subconsciously, Gu Zuo's eyebrows released a sharp blade and fought fiercely with the worm! A few rounds later, the ground worm was still hit by several knives, broken and died.
Gongyi Tianheng felt Gu Zuo's stiffness on his back and asked gently, "Azuo, are you hurt?"
Gu Zuo shook his head, and then he remembered that his eldest brother couldn't see his movements now, and quickly said: "I didn't hurt, I just didn't expect it. I used very little mental power and retreated quickly, although the earthworm was It took a little bit of mental power, but that loss is usually there, it's nothing."
Actually, Gu Zuo is still a little embarrassed when he thinks of what happened just now.
When you withdraw your mental power and the worms chase after you, it's almost like fishing...
Then, Gu Zuo tapped his mental power into the ground worm just now. After putting it in, he immediately smiled: "Brother, let's go there! There seems to be a stone egg in that tree nest!"
Gongyi Tianheng frowned: "Then go."
After talking about the strength of his feet, he ran towards there with Gu Zuo on his back.
Don't look at the tree nest tree nest from a distance, this tree nest is not small, it is at least two feet in diameter, and it is quite dark and deep inside.
After Gu Zuo got here, he looked inside.
The inside of the tree nest is not smooth, but like a cave, there are also many stone folds, a stone egg the size of an egg is embedded at the bottom, the texture is smooth, but there is no smell.
Gu Zuo frowned.
Is it a dead egg
Gongyi Tianheng held up Gu Zuo with one hand: "Azuo, it's tight."
Gu Zuo immediately exerted force on his limbs and hung himself firmly: "Yes, big brother."
Immediately, Gongyi Tianheng reached forward with the other hand, and quickly picked up the stone egg as fast as lightning!
He immediately turned over and stood on a nearby tree branch: "Azuo, put it away."
Gu Zuo took a closer look at the stone egg and found that the shell of the stone egg was more like jade than the ones he had seen before. , or because the things inside are scrapped.
However, it is good luck to find another one so soon.
Gu Zuo shook his head and stopped thinking about it, and put the stone egg in.
Anyway, the more this thing is, the better it is, and I will use my mental power to investigate it at the end. He can save his mental power now, so as not to be unable to kill the earthworms later.
After finding this one, Gu Zuo's confidence greatly increased, and then he still followed the old method, looking for it branch by branch and exploring tree nests one by one.
Not every tree nest has ground worms, and not every tree nest with ground worms has stone eggs bred, and more often it is empty and nothing.
About an hour later, there were only five stone eggs found in the tree nest.
At this time, Gu Zuo thought about it and said: "Brother, I think it's not a problem to rely on my mental strength, so let's look for it with the naked eye and try our luck?"
Gongyi Tianheng smiled: "That's okay."
Yes, because the mental power has been consumed a lot, Gu Zuo decided to recover some first. But it would be a waste of time to stop just like that, so just look around.
As a result, Gu Zuo vigorously absorbed the medicinal energy in the storage compartment, and his own mental method was rapidly revolving. The bead-like alchemy in Tianfu was also constantly shaking, inhaling all the newly generated and free spiritual power. It radiates and recovers little by little.
Then Gongyi Tianheng's vigorous body shuttled among the branches.
Searching with the naked eye is not a random search. He just walks along the branches toward the front. Every time he passes a clump of stone leaves, he pushes it away and searches carefully, and when he passes by a tree nest, he also comes there. Near the tree nest, look inside...
After walking most of the way on this branch, Gongyi Tianheng stopped abruptly and jumped up towards a cluster of stone leaves! He pushed it away with his hand, and then grabbed it abruptly—“Crack!”
After the crisp sound, a stone egg that was half a foot square appeared in Gongyi Tianheng's hand!
The way he obtained it was really like picking fruit...
Then he also probed with his other hand, firmly grasping another thing.
Gu Zuo opened his eyes when he heard the movement.
The first thing that catches the eye is a grayish-white stone egg with a whole body of light.
And a ground worm with its mouthparts wide open.
Gu Zuo: "..."
Use the remaining mental power, condense the sharp blade, and kill the ground worm with "ree-re-ree".
Once again, seeing the luck of his eldest brother intuitively, he felt the pressure.
Gongyi Tianheng smiled: "Azuo, put it away."
Gu Zuo silently collected the corpse of the worm and the stone egg: "I think there is a great possibility that there is something good in this stone egg."
Gongyi Tianheng: "Even if there are good ones, they will belong to Azuo."
Gu Zuo: "Thank you, big brother."
The two paused, and Gongyi Tianheng set off again.
He still used the same method as before, looking for, watching, and investigating.
Gu Zuo also simply used two minds. Half of his mind was constantly recovering, and the other half of his mind, along with his eldest brother, began to distinguish among the clumps of stone leaves.
Perhaps it was because the body of jealousy was so lucky. After walking all the way, Gongyi Tianheng quickly and meticulously looked at four or five branches, and from almost every branch, he could pick a stone egg— Even if he missed it occasionally, Gongyi Tianheng turned his head to look at it on a whim, and could just find one under the shadow of stone leaves.
These pebbles are as small as fists, and as large as one foot in diameter. From the appearance, they are all of good quality.
Yes, I don’t know if his own spiritual power is too special. Except for the very few that exude the fragrance of medicine, Gu Zuo saw that all the stone eggs were similar at first, but when he and Gongyi Tianheng picked ten stones together. After the eggs, when he put his mental power into the storage grid, he accidentally discovered that his mental power could see the very subtle differences between these stone eggs.
Some surfaces have very fine bubbles, and some surfaces are solid, those with bubbles often have subtle aromas, and those with solid ones have very slight differences in gloss.
Gu Zuo swallowed.
He has an idea... Does it mean that the higher the gloss, the better the contents and the more vitality? And the light is a little darker, isn't it... the closer to a dead egg or is it already a dead egg
All of this is useless now. After he picks more, maybe he can try to cut a few typical ones and see if his idea is correct.
But after having this idea, Gu Zuo suddenly became more motivated: "Brother, my mental strength has recovered a lot. Let's divide our troops in two ways. You look for the one in Shi Yeli, and I'll check the tree nest!"
Gongyi Tianheng felt his excitement, and without getting to the bottom of it, he raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Okay." He paused for a while, "Azuo should compare, who found more stone eggs?"
Gu Zuo froze for a moment, and then for some reason, his heart suddenly became proud: "Compare it! But, is there any luck?"
Gongyi Tianheng pondered for a while, and after Gu Zuo seemed to be a little nervous, he said, "If there is no luck, there will be no fun. What kind of luck does Azuo want?"
Gu Zuo paused.
I want big brother to say that he likes me, okay
Of course... no.
Gu Zuo was slightly frustrated.
But, what else can you think of
Can't think of it right now...
Gu Zuo then asked, "What kind of luck do you want, eldest brother?"
Gongyi Tianheng thought for a while: "If you win for your brother, Azuo will warm the bed for your brother."
Gu Zuo: "!!!"
Stunned, what do you mean, big brother? !
The heart is about to jump out of the cavity, okay
Afterwards, Gongyi Tianheng immediately poured a bucket of cold water on Gu Zuo, only to hear him laugh: "I reunited with Azuo that day, and I fell asleep on my feet. This is an opportunity to fall asleep again, talk and get close. Now Azuo is busy making medicine, and he is also practicing for his brother, so he can take a day off and relax his mind."
Gu Zuo immediately spurned his evil thoughts, and a ray of disappointment couldn't help but surge up.
But he quickly put aside these emotions, blushing and said: "Warm... the bed is warm! I haven't had a good chat with the big brother for a long time, and it's no big deal to lose. But if the big brother loses, I will find Go shopping with me one day... Well, buy some more herbs and come back."
Gongyi Tianheng smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this? It's a blessing for my brother!"
Gu Zuo was also in a happy mood, even more nervous.
Although the eldest brother made fun of him again, but his lucky draw... is actually a date.
Anyway, this thing is very common, my brother will definitely not know.
