The snow was very thick, and Ruan Qiuqiu dug carefully for a while before finally picking the first small ginseng.
The size of the little ginseng is only half the size of her palm, the roots are thick, and the oval leaves are a little wilted from the snow, but the whole little ginseng is full of spiritual energy.
Ruan Qiuqiu breathed a sigh of relief, put down the backpack, found a small animal skin and simply wrapped his hand, and started digging for ginseng.
Mo Yu didn't lie or read it wrong. There was indeed a small piece of ginseng growing in this piece. The age was not too big, and it didn't even reach the first rank. However, the spiritual energy in each small ginseng was very strong.
Ruan Qiuqiu dug for half an hour and dug out a total of nineteen small ginseng plants.
Ruan Qiuqiu put all these little ginseng in his backpack, and then stood up, holding the spear and began to circle around the roots of the tree—
This piece of spiritual energy is very rich, and there may be many other medicinal herbs growing, and it may also make her lucky, and maybe she can dig a few spiritual stones.
Thinking of this, Ruan Qiuqiu laughed a little bit self-deprecatingly. Rou Yuerao, the heroine of the lucky bag in the book, didn't dig up spiritual stones very much in the wild. How could she be so lucky as a female partner? Maybe today, except for these little ginseng There will be other gains...
Just as this thought passed through his mind, Ruan Qiuqiu passed a huge tree, and saw a few well-colored clotting grass on the steep rock wall around the corner.
Looking at the color, the probability is second-order.
Ruan Qiuqiu: "...!"
Is she going to be transported
Ruan Qiuqiu picked up a small stone from the ground and threw it near the rock wall not far away.
"Papa", the sound of the stone hitting the rock wall was quite loud, but there was no sign of any biological activity around.
Ruan Qiuqiu alerted with aura, while holding a spear, he walked over slowly and picked up a total of four second-order coagulation grasses.
The rock wall was a little high. She didn't pay attention when she climbed down, her hand slipped and she fell on the snow. Unfortunately, a wound was drawn on the right side of her face, and she was bleeding a little.
Ruan Qiuqiu made a "hiss", looking at the herb in his hand with joy and disappointment, "I want to be the first to use such a good herb."
She plucked off a small piece of clotted grass, crushed it, and applied it to her right cheek.
The herbs worked well, and within two or three seconds, the bleeding stopped.
Ruan Qiuqiu packed the coagulation grass, and was about to feel that his luck was really good today, and then he came across the first-order three lotuses that have miraculous effects on reducing inflammation and swelling, and the third-order acupuncture grass with good pain relief.
There was even a chunk of ginger dug up.
Ruan Qiuqiu didn't let go of any corner on the top of this small cliff. After completely scavenging the herbs, he touched the bulging backpack and curled the corners of his lips.
Today's harvest is particularly rich. Did she suddenly transfer it today, or is it the place where Xiaoyu found it
She has been an African chief for more than 20 years, but she suddenly transferred for no reason. Is there anything special about this place
As soon as his mind moved, he mobilized the spiritual energy in his body, went deep into the ground, and searched inch by inch.
In order to increase the detection range, Ruan Qiuqiu didn't care about his image, so he was half lying in the snow.
She worked hard to probe for more than ten minutes, and she really found a special place—
A little more than a meter below the giant tree closest to the cliff, there is a very strong aura.
Ruan Qiuqiu's eyes suddenly lit up, she hesitated for a while, and went to the edge of the cliff first, and looked down at Xiaoyu.
Xiaoyu also looked up at the cliff eagerly, and when she saw her sticking out her head, she immediately raised her arms with some peace of mind and waved to her.
- They agreed that if there is no abnormality, they will not shout, but wave to each other.
Ruan Qiuqiu also raised his arms and beckoned to him, indicating that he was safe now, and then returned to the place where there was a high possibility of spiritual stones just detected, picked up the spear and started digging.
The sharpest claws on the second-order monsters are very easy to use, and it is easy to break through the soft soil. Perhaps because of excitement, Ruan Qiuqiu did not feel too tired after digging more than one meter in a row, nor did he feel particularly cold.
"Ding!"
The tip of the spear thorn hit a hard stone, making a crisp sound, Ruan Qiuqiu's eyes lit up, he squatted down quickly, and carefully used the tip of the spear thorn to dig up the surrounding hard soil bit by bit.
Soon, she brushed away the soil and dug up a crystal irregular spar the size of half a palm.
It's a spirit stone!
On Ruan Qiuqiu's mud-stained palm, there was a spiritual stone with more spiritual energy than the magic core of the second-order to the third-order last time, and he was overjoyed.
She took out a piece of animal skin, carefully wrapped the spirit stone, and continued digging.
After working hard for more than half an hour, Ruan Qiuqiu dug out three more spirit stones, two of which were about the same size as the one just now;
There is another piece, although it is smaller than the previous four, but its crystallinity has increased to a large level, and the spiritual energy is also more concentrated. Ruan Qiuqiu estimates that the grade of this spiritual stone is likely to reach the fourth-order close to the fifth-order point. .
It is no wonder that there are so many medicinal herbs with abundant spiritual energy growing on the top of this small cliff.
It is also fortunate that the top of this cliff is very remote, with faults on all sides, and wild animals and ordinary monsters can't get over. Birds also eat some herbs growing on the surface at most. Otherwise, this kind of good thing will come to her.
Ruan Qiuqiu raised his hand and wiped his dirty face, loaded the spirit stone, climbed up from the hole more than one meter deep, and filled it back with soil.
She was dirty all over, sweating on her back, and consumed most of her stamina, but she was very excited.
With these herbs and spirit stones, Mr. Big Bad Wolf should be able to get better.
No matter how bad it is, he should be able to recover a little, and they also have the capital to run away from the Yanlang tribe.
This time, I really want to thank Xiaoyu.
Ruan Qiuqiu finished filling in the soil, rested against the tree trunk for a minute or two, checked the rope stuck on the raised mountain wall, and found that the small stone above had cracks.
If she didn't check it carefully and climbed back directly with a rope, she would probably fall off the cliff, and she would not die or be disabled on a steep cliff more than ten meters high.
Ruan Qiuqiu's back felt a little chilly, and the joy of the harvest faded a little.
She replaced the new stone and confirmed the weight of the rope several times before carefully carrying today's harvest back to the trunk of the giant tree with her bare hands, until she firmly grasped the sturdy trunk, and she was a little shocked. relieved.
She felt her feet were a little soft.
Ruan Qiuqiu took two breaths, holding the tree trunk with one arm, while the other hand kept rubbing his improved hakama, so that his dirty, swollen and shaking hands regained some sense and sensitivity.
After two or three minutes of delay, Ruan Qiuqiu felt that her legs were not so soft. After thinking about it, she cut the rope and recovered the remaining rope of about one meter.
There are still several stones raised on the opposite cliff. If you need to go to the opposite side next time, it is impossible to keep this rope and continue to use it.
Climbing down from the giant tree, Ruan Qiuqiu slumped to the ground almost instantly. It took her about three hours to go back and forth, climbing high and digging holes, which was really tiring.
Seeing that she was very embarrassed, her body was dirty and had large and small wounds, Mo Yu's eyes reddened with guilt.
The child stomped his feet, "Sister Qiuqiu, are you okay?"
Ruan Qiuqiu shook his head to indicate that he was fine.
Compared with the rubbing and scratching of these nourishments on their bodies, their harvest today is the most worthy of celebration.
Xiaoyu re-confirmed that she was really okay, so he breathed a sigh of relief like an adult.
Ruan Qiuqiu noticed that his shoulders were slumped, his wrists were shaking unnaturally, and his heart was a little warm—
This child must have really remembered what she said before she left, saying that if she fell, he would pick it up, and he kept his promises like a real man.
"Little fish, let's catch some more fish, and then watch this harvest on the road, what do you think?"
Ruan Qiuqiu hesitated for a while, still a little worried that some wild animals would pass by. Although this place is safer than other places in the forest, it is not completely without danger.
Mo Yu nodded vigorously, agreeing.
He looked at Ruan Qiuqiu with bright eyes, "Sister Qiuqiu, you are the most powerful girl I have ever seen!"
Ruan Qiuqiu blushed when he was called "girl" by him, and she reminded Xiaomoyu, "I'm an adult, Xiaoyu."
Mo Yu scratched his head in confusion, "But Sister Qiuqiu, we are only officially grown up at twenty-five in the human race."
Ruan Qiuqiu: "..." Yes, she forgot that in this world full of spiritual energy, even human beings without talent for cultivation, as long as they do not encounter natural disasters, are not kidnapped and eaten by monsters, and are sheltered by tribes, they can usually live for a while. over a hundred years old.
That's true, according to the algorithm of this world, she is not yet an adult.
Ruan Qiuqiu smashed the thick layer of ice on the river with a spear, and asked Xiaoyu, "Can we get married before twenty-five?"
Mo Yu nodded vigorously, "Of course you can, as long as you are ten years old, you can get married. I want to get married too, but no one or a demon is willing to marry me."
Ruan Qiuqiu: "..."
She suddenly thought that the words of the demon clan seem to be considered adult after reaching thirty-five. I don't know how old Mr. Big Bad Wolf is this year. The marriage of the two of them is regarded as an old wolf eating tender grass or two underage playing house...
Thinking of the wolf cub that Mr. Big Bad Wolf mimicked when they first met, Ruan Qiuqiu felt that he was probably not yet thirty-five.
I just don't know if Mr. Big Bad Wolf's hair has grown...
Hmm... that wolf shouldn't have some kind of ability...
On the other hand, Xiaoyu saw Ruan Qiuqiu's face getting redder and redder, and he thought he understood, "Sister Qiuqiu, don't worry, grandpa said that there is nothing wrong with getting married before you are an adult, except that it is not so easy to have children."
cub...
"..." Hearing his words, Ruan Qiuqiu almost split.
The strength in her hand increased, and the spear smashed the ice in an instant.
The fish in the small river had been stuffy for several days, and suddenly there was fresh air, so they scrambled to jump out.
Most of the fish that jumped out were double-horned squid with fangs, and the fangs were very ferocious.
Fortunately, Ruan Qiuqiu was already prepared, and with the help of spiritual energy, he took the spear and stabbed it hard, and ran to the side. Although he was bitten, fortunately, he also forked a fish.
When the fat double-edged sticky fish weighing about three or four pounds could no longer move, she put the fish into the hands of Mo Yu, whose eyes were widened, and caught another one in the same way.
When she wanted to fork the fish for the third time, the fish in the small river were obviously alert, and Ruan Qiuqiu tried several times without success.
The ice cave gradually subsided, and no more fish appeared.
Ruan Qiuqiu's calf was bitten several times, and she put it away when she saw it, and didn't force herself to continue catching fish.
Worrying that the smell of blood would attract wild beasts, Ruan Qiuqiu quickly smashed a leaf of the clotting grass, stopped the bleeding for himself, and buried the fish blood on the ground.
But she still underestimated the deliciousness of her blood. Before, she was fine on a cliff more than ten meters high, and she only shed a little blood, so she didn't attract the attention of any monsters.
This time, she was bitten several times by several fish, and she bled a lot. Although it has stopped, the amount of bleeding is enough to attract monsters.
- As soon as the two of them climbed into the passage along the vines, Ruan Qiuqiu saw a terrifying-looking monster running not far away.
The monster was about two meters high, covered in horrible green scales, and looked like a cow, with red eyes and blood, and ran to the place where Ruan Qiuqiu had just buried the blood, making a harsh roar.
Ruan Qiuqiu didn't dare to look at it, so he quickly cut a piece of ginger, squeezed out the ginger juice and sprinkled it on his body and the hole, and then quickly left the passage.
The two did not dare to stop all the way, and walked back without stopping until they climbed into the tree hole and blocked the passage with stones before they stopped.
Thinking of the monster just now, Ruan Qiuqiu still had some lingering fears, as did Xiaoyu. The two sat in the tree hole for more than ten seconds before they calmed down.
"Is that a monster just now?"
After Xiaoyu calmed down, he was still a little excited, "It's the first time I've seen a monster!"
Ruan Qiuqiu: "..."
Ruan Qiuqiu: "...don't talk about this, let's take a look at the harvest this time."
Although she was the main force this time, Ruan Qiuqiu didn't want to swallow it alone. If Xiaoyu hadn't told her that there was still this place, she would not have achieved such a big harvest.
Ruan Qiuqiu took out everything, and was about to share it with Xiaoyu, when the little boy said embarrassedly, "Sister Qiuqiu, I don't want half, it's too much, I only need so much."
The little boy said, hesitantly picked six or seven small ginseng plants, and took two more herbs, but he refused to take any more.
Ruan Qiuqiu sighed, Xiaoyu is young and doesn't know what good things are, but she is not good at taking advantage of others. She was about to speak when Xiaoyu said, "Sister Qiuqiu, if you think you are taking advantage of me, don't you? Can you give me some more…”
Ruan Qiuqiu: "What?"
Xiao Moyu bit his lip, "That, the treasure in your husband's cave..."
Ruan Qiuqiu was stunned for a moment, only to realize that he was talking about water droplets with a healing effect.
She laughed, "Of course."
Since Xiaoyu said so, Ruan Qiuqiu didn't have to give him a lot. After all, Mr. Big Bad Wolf really needs herbs and spirit stones more.
But she thought that Mo Mao was a half-demon, so she still took a piece of spirit stone and handed it to Xiaoyu, "This is a good thing for your brother, but my sister's husband needs it more. Can I take three pieces?"
Mo Yu nodded, "I didn't do anything. I drank a lot of 'baby' yesterday. One piece is enough."
Ruan Qiuqiu's eyebrows and eyes softened, and he gave Mo Yu a smaller fish. He did not refuse, and wrapped it up with the old animal skin he brought.
When he was about to leave, Ruan Qiuqiu always felt a little uneasy.
This feeling intensified when she walked back for ten minutes, came to a fork in the road, and was about to part ways with Xiaoyu.
—It was as if something troubled came to her and Mr. Big Bad Wolf.
—Is it dangerous, or is it Lu Ziran and Rou Yuerao
Thinking of this possibility, Ruan Qiuqiu suddenly stopped and did not move forward.
Xiaoyu struggled to carry the fish and herbs on his back, turned around, and bowed to her, "Sister Qiuqiu, I'm going back from here, thank you today, next time the snow stops, you will come to see us, Little Mint likes you."
Ruan Qiuqiu became more and more uneasy, she smiled reluctantly, trying not to show anything strange, and waved to the little boy, "Okay, goodbye Xiaoyu."
Seeing Mo Yu walked a distance, Ruan Qiuqiu hesitated for a moment, then turned around and ran back. She climbed up the hidden tree hole, got into the passage, and hid most of the valuable things in the backpack. Only a small half piece of ginger, a few small ginseng and half a clotting herb were left.
She couldn't break the spirit stone, so she held it tightly and absorbed some of it until the spirit energy in her dantian was fully recovered. trot.
Her decision was correct. Just when she was about to arrive near the cave, Ruan Qiuqiu saw Lu Ziran approaching their cave aggressively from another direction.
His face was blue and angry, and he started shouting from a distance, "Ruan Qiuqiu! Ruan Qiuqiu, come out for me."
The tone is angry and resentful, like a husband who has been green with resentment, as if Ruan Qiuqiu did something to make him sorry to Lu Ziran.
"… Grass."
Ruan Qiuqiu couldn't help but scolded in a low voice, why did this scum lion appear here
Is it Rou Yuerao or is she unwilling to let go of her "rival in love" so Lu Ziran came to trouble her
It shouldn't be, Rou Yuerao is not the type that insists on killing her, although she is a little white lotus.
Is that Lu Ziran coming over by himself
Or what conspiracy of the Yanlang tribe
Ruan Qiuqiu didn't appear in a hurry, clinging to the back of a huge tree twenty or thirty meters away from the cave, intending to wait and see.
