Xie Sen felt that the strange timing and location of the wild forest were too coincidental, but it didn't matter if it was a coincidence, anyway, he had to go there regardless of whether it had anything to do with Chi Energy or not.
He asked Maine, "When are you going? I'll go with you."
Maine frowned, and directly refused: "No, the further you go into the forest, the more dangerous it is, you can't go." He paused, and added, like comforting a child, "I will come back as soon as possible."
Xie Sen spread his hands: "I have to go, if I don't go with you, I will go by myself." He pointed to his right shoulder, "I said I was looking for something, it sensed it, it is in the dangerous area in the east of the wild forest inside."
Maine frowned slightly: "Is it related to this change?"
"I don't know," Xie Sen said as he walked towards the kitchen, "I'll make dinner first, and I'll talk to you later."
Maine followed him into the kitchen: "I'll help you."
Xie Sen smiled, knowing that he was fine, so he didn't stop him. Thinking of going to the forest, he was a little worried: "There are still six or seven hundred kilometers after leaving the city. Is there a way to quickly go to the dangerous area?"
"You can rent an aircraft, go from the sky to the destination, and then climb the traction ladder to land on the ground. This is the fastest way, but it will be dangerous."
Xie Sen sounded quite reliable: "Is it because you have high requirements on your physical fitness, and you are afraid that you will lose your strength and fall off?"
Maine paused slightly, and wanted to laugh: "If you can't even do this, going to the forest is basically going to your death. The danger I'm talking about is that you may be attacked by animals at any time during the descent, not just birds , and various animals with strong jumping ability and huge body, such as giant pythons."
"In addition to the danger during the descent, due to the direct landing in the danger zone, the situation below is unknown, and the safety after the descent is not guaranteed."
Xie Sen was terrified when he heard it, but he felt relieved when he thought of what Adan had said - he had a natural aura about him, he didn't take the initiative to attack animals, and they wouldn't attack him.
"Is there any other good way?"
Maine said: "Besides this, the only option is to rent flying contracted beasts, but to ensure safety, each contracted beast will only take the owner and one guest, and the speed is one-tenth of the speed of the aircraft."
Xie Sen thought about flying on the back of a bird without any shelter, and shook his head hastily, watching TV felt very good, but in fact, the airflow generated during the flight would definitely kill people.
If you don't hold it firmly and get blown off accidentally, it will be really miserable.
"Let's rent the aircraft... is it expensive?" he asked.
"It's not expensive, 50,000 a day, 100,000 round trip is enough for us," Maine said, "In addition to transportation, we also need to prepare medicines, food and some tools, and we can leave in a few days."
Xie Sen counted the time: "It's your birthday in seven days, why don't you go after your birthday?"
He also just took advantage of these few days to collect energy, so that he can protect himself when he enters the forest.
Maine pondered for a moment: "Alright."
After the meal, Xie Sen contacted Sun Mao and asked to work overtime tomorrow so that he could be transferred next week. Sun Mao directly agreed and gave a few compliments by the way.
Maine sat on the sofa, and the coffee table was full of various small parts, which he focused on assembling.
Xie Sen didn't bother him, went back to the bedroom and turned on the system, thought about it, and exchanged for a meter of watermelon vines.
He must understand the characteristics of watermelon vines, as well as their usability and combat effectiveness, so that he can respond quickly in actual combat.
He summoned a watermelon vine, a meter-long dark green vine stretched straight in front of his eyes, with a big round watermelon hanging in the middle.
Xie Sen's eyes lit up, he swallowed silently, recalling the system prompt that the key word of watermelon vines is toughness, he gave an order to form a circle.
Immediately in front of him, the watermelon vines changed from a straight line to end to end, forming a circle.
He then gave various orders such as coiling into a fragrant shape, fancy knotting, etc. When tying complicated knots, the watermelon vines started to be very slow, but after a few times of practice, they became very fast.
Xie Sen smiled in satisfaction, and turned his gaze to the water glass on the bedside table: "Tie up the water glass and lift it up."
The watermelon vine flew to the bedside table quickly, and with a bang, the watermelon hanging from the vine hit the door of the cabinet, and there was a crack in the middle of the round watermelon, exposing the red flesh.
The watermelon vine didn't realize anything was wrong, and meticulously followed Xie Sen's instructions, tied up the water glass and lifted it in front of Xie Sen, shaking the watermelon juice all over the floor.
Xie Sen suddenly felt pain in his body, and quickly held the watermelon. Before he could move, the watermelon fell off the watermelon vine and fell into his hands.
Xie Sen tapped the watermelon with his fingers to confirm that it was the same as the one growing in the ground, very brittle, and its only aggressiveness was probably to hit people.
As for the melon vines, he has a lot of ideas in his mind, but he has a requirement for the length. He currently has not much energy left, so he is not going to try it for the time being.
After thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help laughing. Melon vines are extremely tough, as long as they are not broken by sharp weapons, there is almost no wear and tear, and they save energy compared to peppers as weapons.
And it's really great to give a watermelon as a gift for every energy!
He recalled the melon vines, happily took the watermelon out, and divided the melon into two halves, put one half in the refrigerator, and divided the other half into two. He and Maine had one half.
"Take a break and eat something delicious." Xie Sen handed the watermelon to Maine.
Main went to wash his hands, then took it, looked at it for a while and asked, "What is this?"
"Watermelon, eat the red part in the middle, and spit out the black seeds." After Xie Sen finished speaking, he took a big bite, the sweet watermelon juice filled his mouth, and a faint sweet taste burst into his nose.
too delicious! Xie Sen was so touched that he wanted to cry. He hasn't eaten watermelon for a long time since the end of the world.
He didn't care about talking, he gnawed his head and ate a quarter of the melon in one go, then slumped on the sofa and rubbed his stomach: "It's so full, so satisfying!"
He tilted his head to look at Maine, Maine was eating a little slower than him, but was still eating.
Xie Sen couldn't help being surprised when he saw the prompt of Energy 2 in front of him. In the past few days, Maine will give him back 3 energy every morning. Today, adding this 2 energy, Maine gave him back 5 energy in one day.
Maine followed Xie Sen's way of eating, leaving the green rind of the melon, and finished eating the melon meat. He looked at Xie Sen with bright eyes: "It's very delicious!"
Xie Sen had no doubts about his evaluation, so he gave him 2 energy! Enough for two watermelons.
Xie Sen smiled and said, "There is still half, eat it tomorrow."
Maine asked: "This...is also the fruit grown by your contracted beast?"
Xie Sen nodded: "Yes."
Maine looked at the melon rind on the table, picked it up and smelled it: "It's still very fragrant, can this not be eaten?" He said, took a bite, and immediately felt that it was crispy and fragrant, "It tastes very good."
Xie Sen slapped his head, what time is this, he still remembers not to eat melon rind, melon rind is also a good thing here!
He has heard of the dessert of cold melon rind, but he has never eaten or cooked it, but this fully shows that melon rind is edible.
He packed up his leftover melon rind: "I'm so full now, I'll deal with it tomorrow and see how I can eat it."
Maine handed him the melon rind in his hand: "I'm full too."
"Chirp~" Tuantuan flew in from the window, flew straight to Main, and pecked at his wrist, Maine withdrew his hand, it pecked the melon skin with one beak, pulled out its beak, and happily "Chirp~ "A cry.
Then, like a motor on its neck, it frantically pecked at the melon rind.
Maine withdrew his hand and looked at it with a bad expression: "This is not for you to eat."
"Chirp~" Tuantuan stared at the melon rind, flew over to try to eat it, but was dodged by Maine again.
Xie Sen was a little embarrassed. If someone told him that melon pi would be so popular one day, he would not believe it.
He took the melon rind from Maine's hand in a funny way, and put it in the corner of the coffee table in the size of his palm: "You can only eat so much, you are not allowed to steal it."
Tuantuan nodded, flew to the corner of the coffee table, and ate the extremely delicious snacks for it.
Xie Sen took the melon rind to the kitchen, scraped off the eaten layer with a knife, washed the rest, put it in a bowl, and put it in the refrigerator.
When he returned to the living room, Maine had already wiped the coffee table clean and was packing up his parts.
"What are you doing?" Sean asked.
"Unmanned probe."
"Is it similar to the detector on Yuzhu Island?" Xie Sen was curious.
Maine nodded: "I have improved it, the detection distance is longer, and the anti-detection and camouflage system is used, so it is not easy to be discovered."
Xie Sen didn't know much about electronic products, so he sounded very powerful, so he didn't hide it, and praised directly: "You are amazing!"
The corners of Maine's mouth curled up slightly.
The next day, Xie Sen added some watermelon rind to the soup in the morning, and found that it was surprisingly delicious, the meaty smell was gone, and the soup still had a faint fragrance of melon rind.
He was full, and went to work overtime with a gold medal contentedly, before finishing his card, Sun Mao came over with a playful look on his face: "There is a pile of your gifts at the guard, I think you should stop working and just resell the gifts. "
Xie Sen was helpless, the number of courtesans gradually increased these days, and he was annoyed when he heard that someone was giving presents.
Sun Mao took a step closer and whispered: "I heard a news that you are a plant animal owner, is it true?"
Xie Sen looked at him and didn't answer, Sun Mao smiled clearly: "No wonder there are so many suitors all of a sudden, and it's no wonder your animal affinity is so high." His eyes lit up, "Can you sell me a red pepper?"
"No." Xie Sen refused, he had to save his energy and go into the forest.
Sun Mao sighed: "Could it be possible that you want to save all the fruits as a dowry?"
The corner of Xie Sen's mouth twitched: "What the hell?"
"It's the same as a resource-type contracted beast. The output of contracted beasts is saved from childhood, and then used as a dowry when married." Have you ever done that before?"
"Manager Yang?" Xie Sen couldn't help asking, "What is his contract beast?"
"Long-haired sheep, the clothes made of its wool are expensive and popular. Manager Yang's partner is really lucky," Sun Mao sighed, and added, "Of course, your boyfriend is even more lucky, red pepper is extinct. Plants don’t even have research institutes!”
"No wonder everyone pursues you. Marrying you is equivalent to marrying a cornucopia! It's still a cornucopia that can give birth to a bunch of cubs."
Xie Sen had a black thread on his hair: "I'm a male, give birth to hairy ass!"
"What are males afraid of? I heard that both male and female animal owners of the plant system can give birth to offspring. It's really great."
"No, I'm not, I'm the kind of male who can't give birth to offspring!" Xie Sen said firmly, and decided not to listen to Sun Mao's nonsense, who knows what explosive topics will come up.
After get off work, he contacted Bai Jiao on the way back to the apartment, wanting to buy the anti-insect medicine and detoxification pills that he applied on his body last time.
Bai Jiao asked directly after listening, "Are you going to the wild forest?"
Xie Sen didn't hide anything: "Yes."
Bai Jiao said: "What a coincidence, I'm planning to go too. In the past two days, there have been more and more reports about strange things in the depths of the forest. Someone came out safely this afternoon and brought out a fruit. According to the report of the Botanical Research Institute, it is the extinct medicinal material goji berry. ,I am very interested."
Bai Jiao asked: "How about we go together?"
Xie Sen hesitated for a moment: "It's definitely better to have someone who understands medicine follow, but I'm going to go with Maine, I can't make a decision by myself, I'll ask him later."
"It's okay," Bai Jiao smiled, "I'll mail you the medicine you want. As for the price, I'd rather get a red chili pepper. I checked the relevant literature and it has medicinal value."
Xie Sen calculated, "Your medicines cost at least several thousand. If you don't feel bad, I'll mail them to you."
"Thank you." Bai Jiao said excitedly.
When Xie Sen returned to the apartment, he saw two people huddling together from a distance, it was Long Teng and Maine. Xu Da stood not far away, saw him, and waved to him.
Xie Sen walked over, and Xu Da said: "A Teng went to special training for a few days, I thought he had improved fast enough, I didn't expect Maine to be no less inferior, he has achieved this level as an A-level contracted beast owner, really Surprising."
Xie Sen smiled, not wanting Xu Da to doubt Maine's identity, and praised: "He has been exercising very hard."
Xu Da laughed: "It's a good thing for young people to know how to make progress. The two of them are just short of finding a contract beast. After forming a contract, they can improve a lot."
Speaking of this, he sighed: "Oh, I just read the news a few days ago, and I have been studying potatoes and peppers for a few days, and I didn't pay attention to the news." He patted Xie Sen on the shoulder, "You guys If you encounter difficulties with money in the future, tell me."
Xie Sen thanked him politely for his kindness.
After another twenty minutes, Maine and Long Teng stopped fighting, and the two were tied. Long Teng smiled with bright white teeth, and put his arm around Maine's shoulder: "You are so good, how do you usually train?"
Maine patted his hand down, and he put it on again, with a curious expression on his face.
Xie Sen answered his question aloud: "Main was trained through hunting."
Long Teng tilted his head and looked at Maine in a daze: "No wonder you are so good at hunting wild beasts." He jumped in front of Xu Da, "Grandpa, I'm going to hunt too."
After he finished speaking, he spoke very fast again: "That's right! Didn't you tell me to go to the depths of the forest to find the flying dragon beast? I just happen to be able to fight all the way there!" He waved his arms while speaking.
Xu Da slapped him on the back of the head: "Do you know how many kilometers are there from the edge of the desolate forest to the middle? If you fight all the way, you can save your life for a day."
Long Teng held the back of his head: "Grandpa, I'm very good!"
"Ignorance is quite powerful." Xu Da complained unceremoniously.
"Grandpa," Long Teng was dissatisfied, "I understand."
Xu Da ignored him, and quickly followed Xie Sen into Maine's apartment. He sat on the sofa and looked at Xie Sen. Xie Sen asked, "Master, what's the matter?"
Xu Da smiled and said: "What did you cook for breakfast? I smell the fragrance, sell me a little?"
Xie Sen laughed, what kind of nose is this!
He was thinking about how to fool him, and with a "chirp~", he flew to the coffee table in front of him in a group, holding a fingernail-sized melon rind in his claws, threw the melon rind on the coffee table, lowered his head, ate it, and then unfolded Wing, in a low voice, "Chirp."
The corner of Xie Sen's mouth twitched, what does this mean? Tell him is it finished
"Huh," Xu Da was surprised, "Is this a bald eagle?"
Xie Sen said: "It seems to be."
"Chirp Chirp~" Tuantuan jumped on the table, flapped his wings and flew towards the refrigerator, grabbed the handle of the refrigerator with his paws, and called back: "Chirp Chirp~"
Xie Sen rubbed his forehead, does it think that there is a melon rind every day
"No more," he said.
"Chirp!" Tuantuan flapped his wings and patted the refrigerator door. Obviously, he knew there were still some in the refrigerator.
Xu Da sighed: "This kind of IQ is undoubtedly a bald eagle." His eyes became eager, "What did it just eat? It should be still in the refrigerator, right?"
Xie Sen had no choice but to finally take out the melon rind, gave a small piece to Tuantuan, and reminded: "This is the last piece, and there will be no more in the future."
Looking at the melon rind, Tuantuan did not eat it right away, but gave a sad 'chirp'.
Xu Da looked at the rind of the melon: "Is this a watermelon? I want to buy it! It seems to be the rind. What about the melon meat? I want to buy it too?"
A Maine who didn't speak spoke, and said coldly: "Not for sale!"
Xie Sen was funny, it seems that Maine really likes watermelon.
Xu Da was helpless: "Sell me the melon rind!"
Xie Sen cut a quarter of the rind from the remaining half of the watermelon and sold it to Xu Da. Xu Da held the rind with a happy expression on his face. Long Teng leaned over his head curiously and took a bite, his eyes lit up instantly: " tasty!"
Xie Sen thought to himself, when he came back from the forest this time, selling the whole watermelon to Xu Da, the boy Long Teng, was too soft-hearted.
Xu Da's goal of being a foodie was achieved, and then turned to business: "Have you read the news about the wild forest? I think this is a good opportunity to find a contracted beast. I don't worry about A-Teng going alone. If you go, Take him with you, he doesn't have other abilities, but he's good at fighting."
Xie Sen thought to himself, in fact, the best thing is luck.
Long Teng is the protagonist in the book. Although he is always in danger, he can always save the day, and his ability can continue to improve. His luck is so good that he explodes.
But thinking about it carefully, according to the time in the book, Long Teng should have gone into the wild forest alone.
Now, everything is different, Xie Sen looked at Maine, feeling very at ease.
Although he knew that Maine hadn't fully recovered now and was more sensitive and suspicious than before, Maine was still young, and he believed that he would get better.
Maine also looked at Xie Sen at this moment, noticed his gaze, and his expression became much more relaxed: "You decide."
Xie Sen was a little surprised, and then he thought seriously. He had to rest every eight hours. If it was only him and Maine, when he was resting, if he encountered a dangerous situation, only Maine would deal with it, and Maine would have to divide the rest. It's too dangerous to take care of him.
The forest is so big, it is very likely that Chi Energy cannot be found immediately, and it is not convenient for two people to take turns to watch the night.
"I think it's okay," Xie Sen said, "I contacted Bai Jiao today, and he is going too. There are many poisonous animals and plants in the forest. It is safer to have a doctor. The four of us can go together."
Maine had no objection: "Listen to you."
Xie Sen said to Long Teng: "We plan to leave on the 26th, is there any problem?"
"No problem," Long Teng said with a smile, "You can leave now."
Xie Sen reminded: "It's best to make some preparations." Thinking of Long Teng's character, he said, "You don't have to worry about anything else, just bring more weapons!"
"Okay!" Long Teng raised a big smile and agreed.
After talking, Xu Da and Long Teng left the apartment.
Xie Sen contacted Bai Jiao to explain the situation to him, and told him the departure time. Bai Jiao smiled and said, "I'm fine. I'll come to you when the time comes. I'll prepare some more medicine in the next few days."
After hanging up the communication, Xie Sen went to make dinner, and after dinner, he and Maine ate a large piece of watermelon, both of them ate with satisfaction.
After the meal, Xie Sen asked, "Is there anything else I need to prepare?"
"I'll get ready," Maine looked at him, his eyes fell on his arm, "you should strengthen your arm strength exercises these few days, and so on."
As he said, he walked into the bedroom and took out a pair of dumbbells, one big and one small: "Use this exercise."
Xie Sen thought of the need to land from the aircraft, nodded hurriedly, and was still a little worried. Will he be able to practice well in a few days
He took the dumbbells and went back to the bedroom. After thinking about it, he still felt uneasy. He looked at the remaining energy, and there were thirty-three in total, three of which were given back by Maine in the morning, and the rest of the increased energy was obtained from work.
He gritted his teeth, exchanged two meters of watermelon vines, carefully picked off the watermelon, and then ordered the watermelon vines to tie him up and lift him up.
At first, he was strangled by the watermelon vines, and the watermelon vines fell apart shortly after his feet were off the ground. After trying for a long time, he finally found a more comfortable position to be hung up, and the watermelon vines would not fall apart.
In case of any accident during the fall, he at least has the ability to save himself.
In the next few days, Xie Sen has been working actively, trying to help more contracted beasts, so as to obtain the energy returned by the beast owner. By the 24th, he had accumulated 156 energy.
On the morning of the twenty-fifth, Xie Sen deliberately got up earlier than usual. He exchanged two potatoes and made each potato double in size. Potato chips, fried into chips.
When Maine came out of the bedroom, the room was filled with the smell of potatoes. He looked at the closed kitchen door, and his eyes gradually softened.
Xie Sen carefully put the steamed potatoes side by side into a large plate, with the cross-cut side facing up, and then took chopsticks, wrote happy birthday on it, and finally drew a smiling face.
He looked it over and was sure there was no problem. He walked out of the kitchen with the 'Potato Cake'. Unexpectedly, Maine was standing at the door, and he almost bumped into it.
He stopped in time, and passed the plate while raising a smile: "Brother, happy birthday, I wish you happy every day and good health!"
Maine stared at him for a while, the young man's smile was bright and full of sunshine, which made him feel warm, this kind of warmth reached the bottom of his heart, he couldn't hold back, leaned over and kissed him on the forehead: "Thank you, I'm very happy .”
Xie Sen clutched his forehead, stared blankly at the prompt of Energy 3 in front of him, and watched as Main walked into the living room with a plate.
This... is Brant star's thank you ceremony
After thinking about it, Xie Sen felt that only this reason could make sense.
