Mu Xi came to the edge of the pile of bushes and thorns, staring at the bushes with her beautiful eyes.
The encyclopedia flew over: "Girl, what are you looking at?"
Mu Xi kicked the bushes with his feet and said coldly: "Don't you think these thorns are strange?"
Xiao Zhan looked at the bush for a long time and came to a conclusion: "It can be cut back to make firewood!"
I don't know if it was Mu Xi's misunderstanding, but when Xiao Zhan said this, the pair of bushes and thorns suddenly squeaked.
Mu Xi raised her eyebrows and suddenly said, "Xiao Zhan is right, our house happens to be short of firewood."
Xiao Zhan immediately rolled up his sleeves and looked at Mu Xi with bright eyes: "Xixi, do you want me to chop down all these firewood and take them home?"
Mu Xi nodded seriously: "Okay, our family happens to be quite poor and can't afford firewood, so we don't need to buy it now."
Huo Cheng: "..."
poverty? !
She was so embarrassed to say that she had a large bottle of a million soul-gathering pills on her body, and she didn’t look poor!
"I'll chop it! Xixi, rest next to you!" Xiao Zhanxiong was full of energy, ready to show off in front of Mu Xi.
"Wait a minute." Mu Xi said calmly: "Xiao Zheng, you also have a knack for chopping firewood."
Xiao Zhan looked at Mu Xi without blinking: "What's the trick?"
Mu Xi said: "Some firewood cannot be cut, but must be pulled out."
The bushes and thorns growled again.
The encyclopedia nodded: "The girl is right. The roots of plants are small and flammable, so they are easier to ignite. If you cut them directly, the roots underneath will be wasted!"
Huo Cheng: "...don't the roots have the most water?"
Who said small roots are flammable
Although the roots of the plant are thin, they are definitely not so easy to catch fire because they have a lot of water.
Moreover, she doesn't look like someone who is short of firewood at home.
Mu Xi looked at Huo Cheng as if he were an idiot: "Do you think the plants on the Flame Mountain still have water in their roots?"
Huo Cheng: "..."
Yes, it had been roasted dry by the Flame Mountain a long time ago.
Xiao Zhan jumped down from the coffin excitedly: "Then I'll start pulling out?"
Mu Xi calmly said: "Pull it out."
So, Xiao Zhan immediately picked a cluster of bushes and thorns, and started pulling them out without being afraid of the thorns on them.
"Hey!" Xiao Zhan shouted forcefully.
He was already relatively strong, but he couldn't pull out the thorns even though he was pulling them out so hard!
Mu Xi's eyes darkened, and he looked at Encyclopedia. There was indeed something wrong with the bushes and thorns.
Otherwise, with Xiaozhang's strength, even if he were to go more than ten meters underground, even if he pulled them up, he would still be able to break them off!
But now there is none!
Huo Cheng also felt a little strange: "This root is a bit deep, I will pull it out too!"
He found another bush and started pulling it out.
"It's weird! I can't pull it out!"
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull out the bush.
Xiaozhang muttered: "Xixi, you can't pull it out! It's so heavy!"
Mu Xi took out a dagger: "Forget it if you can't pull it out, just chop it."
Encyclopedia said with a smile: "Yeah, we can't find the Soul Reaver Sect today, so we can't return without success, right? Anyway, there are so many shrubs on the Flame Mountain, it doesn't matter if we can't pull out the roots, the entire mountain , enough for us to burn firewood for a year."
Bush: "..."
Xiaozhan finally daggered: "Okay!"
Mu Xi reminded: "Remember to chop wood quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly."
Xiaozhang adhered to the principle of being quick, accurate and ruthless, and chopped it down with one sharp knife.
"Click!"
The thorns in the bush trembled violently, and there was blood.
Huo Cheng was shocked: "How come this thorn is still bleeding?"
Mu Xi said calmly: "No, you are all wrong. This is not blood, this is the mutated magma on the Flame Mountain. These shrubs have been burned to death long ago. Xiaozhang, keep cutting, but you are not using enough force."
Bush: "..."
"Yeah! I will work harder!" Xiao Zhanxue's eyes suddenly became serious, sharpening his knife, and slashed hard again.
This time, before Xiaozhan's dagger could hit him, the bushes let out a roar, jumped up quickly, and ran away to another place!
Huo Cheng was stunned for a moment: "This, this thing can move...!"
Mu Xi raised his eyebrows: "It's okay, there are so many on this mountain, you can chop them down as you like."
There was a hint of threatening coldness in the girl's uniquely cold and tender voice.
As soon as Mu Xi finished speaking, the bushes within a few dozen meters of them suddenly seemed to have grown legs and started running quickly, trying to get away from Mu Xi.
terrible!
She actually attacked a bunch of innocent bushes!
For a moment, almost half of the bushes on the mountainside started to move and ran quickly.
Some ran too fast and accidentally collided with other bushes. They fell to the ground with a 'pop' and fell apart...
But after a while, they climbed up from the ground firmly, quickly gathered themselves into a ball, and continued running wildly.
"Grasp."
As soon as Mu Xi said a word, Xiao Zhan and Encyclopedia rushed out, grabbed a bunch of bushes that were trying to escape, and threw them in front of Mu Xi.
The bushes seemed to have seen themselves falling into the hands of the enemy. They were desperate and quickly fell to the ground. Their bodies fell apart and scattered on the ground, and they began to pretend to be dead.
Mu Xi poked it: "Don't pretend to be dead, I know you can understand what we are saying."
The bushes moved.
Mu Xi said: "It is recorded in the classics that in the Soul Seizing Sect, the souls are plant thorns. When people inadvertently find a lot of thorns on the ground, those are their souls. If they are not careful, they step into their trap. , very difficult to deal with.”
The bush continued to play dead.
Mu Xi added: "Although you are not their soul, you must know where the Soul Seizing Sect is, right?"
Huo Cheng coughed twice: "Miss Mu Xi, are you sure it can really understand?"
This feeling of talking to the thorny wood on the ground is really weird!
Mu Xi ignored Huo Cheng and played with the dagger expressionlessly: "It seems I guessed wrong. This should be a pile of waste wood. In that case, just chop up all the waste wood and take it back as firewood." .”
A cold light flashed from the dagger in Mu Xi's hand, and it seemed like it was about to fall on the bushes on the ground again. Suddenly, a girl's childish cry came out: "Woo, don't chop me. My skin is very thin, don't chop." I whine..."
Huo Cheng was completely stunned.
This bush can actually talk!
As the childish cries came, a pile of firewood scattered on the ground quickly formed into a ball, turning into a girl about three or four years old, wearing a small bellyband, lying on the ground, trembling. Sobbing and crying.
Mu Xi put away the dagger: "It's okay not to chop you. You just need to tell me where the Soul Seizing Sect is."
As soon as Mu Xi finished speaking, a voice like the sounds of nature suddenly came.
"Lanlan."
When the girl heard this voice, she quickly stopped crying and rushed towards somewhere with her bare feet.
Mu Xi turned around following the voice and saw a man standing behind them.
The man with long snow-white hair stood at the mouth of the fiery red Flame Mountain, with thousands of feet of magma behind him, dyeing the world red.
And he is just a little bit of white among thousands of miles of red.
