Chapter 75: Ambergris Millennium Tribute

Views:

Hearing the sound of horse hooves, Wu Dongfang was startled. After half a second, the surprise turned into nervousness, and after another half second, the nervousness turned into confusion. The terrain here was not suitable for riding horses, but since riding horses showed that the opponent's cultivation level was not high, it should not be Tu Celestial Master, who is this person riding over

After a brief doubt, Wu Dongfang ducked to the entrance of the cave and saw a tall black horse standing on the flat area outside the cave. This black horse was very strong, with a long mane, a straight back and waist, and big and bright eyes. Even if he doesn't know much about horses, he can tell that this is a rare good horse, and this horse is probably an ownerless wild horse, because it has no saddle on its back, no horseshoes on its hooves, and its eyes don't look like home. The horse is so tame and very unruly. As he studied it, Mustang studied him.

The wild horse has been looking at him. He looked around and saw no one on horseback. He was convinced that it was a wild horse. He walked out of the cave and lunged down to the ground. He slowly approached the wild horse. He wanted to keep the wild horse until he returned in the day. Maybe it will be useful when you are a member of the Jin tribe.

He stopped when he was still about one meter away from the wild horse. He found that the wild horse's eyes suddenly became very fierce, and he had to re-evaluate the possibility of taming the wild horse.

Before he even started to estimate, Ye Ye turned around and started kicking. This guy kicked off very quickly. Wu Dongfang only saw it turn around, but was kicked out without even seeing how it kicked off.

The force of Ye Ye's kick was so strong that Wu Dongfang flew upside down and hit the northern stone wall. He felt severe pain in his chest and couldn't breathe properly, and he couldn't help but squat down.

The wild horse did not run away immediately after kicking him away. Instead, it stepped towards him. When it got close, it neighed and raised its two front hooves to step hard on the stone wall. Although there were no horseshoes on its hooves, they were extremely hard. The stone wall he stepped upon collapsed and debris flew away.

"Don't mess with it." The prince's voice came from the cave.

"I didn't mess with it, it messed with me." Wu Dongfang looked at the black wild horse that retracted its front hooves and paced back and forth in front of him.

At this moment, the neighing of horses came from the mountain forest in the north. The wild horse tilted his head and glanced at Wu Dongfang, then jumped into the cave.

Wu Dongfang was kicked so hard by the wild horse that he couldn't straighten his back. He hurriedly shouted a warning, "Be careful, it's going to rush you."

There was no movement in the cave, and I didn't know what the prince was doing. The wild horse just stood at the entrance of the cave and did not go in. When the horse's neighing was heard again in the northern mountain forest, the wild horse turned around and left the cave, running across the stone wall and arriving at the cave. He jumped up from the edge of the stone wall, jumped onto the northern slope, and ran towards Ben with a hiss.

Wu Dongfang was worried about the prince, so he took a deep breath and took a few steps back, then ran up the cave and saw the prince lying motionless beside the puddle.

"What are you doing lying down? Are you okay?" Wu Dongfang walked over.

"If you lie down, you won't get kicked." The prince stood up, bent down and continued to drink water.

"It seems to be here to demonstrate." Wu Dongfang rubbed his sore chest from being kicked. Fortunately, the wild horse hit the sternum. If the kick hit the ribs, it would have broken again.

"This may be its territory." The prince raised his head to speak, and then continued to drink water.

Wu Dongfang didn't ask any more questions, walked to the corner and sat down. There were not many unowned mountains and forests at this time. It was better to be the territory of wild horses than the territory of carnivores. As long as he didn't provoke these wild horses in the future, it would still be safe to live here. of.

The prince drank a lot of water and tentatively walked to the dry place on the west side. Wu Dongfang saw that it could not see clearly, so he walked over and picked it up.

The prince was stung and felt very uncomfortable. He lay motionless in the corner. In the early stage, he was still croaking, but in the later stage, he even stopped crowing and just lay down quietly.

"I left fish meat for you." Wu Dongfang said.

"How can you eat with your head so swollen? Stop talking and let me be quiet." The prince said angrily.

Seeing the prince's pig-like head, Wu Dongfang wanted to laugh again, but he held back. The prince was very irritable now, so it was better not to offend him.

He slept peacefully that night. After dawn, he found that the prince's head and face were swollen even more, and the bee venom had spread to his tongue. He could only hum and couldn't even speak clearly.

Wu Dongfang was frightened. The wasp that stung the prince was more powerful than he thought. It might kill the prince at once.

After the sun came up, he carried the prince to the entrance of the cave, rummaged through his hair to look for bee stings, and found the pinhole on his neck near his head, but found that there were no bee stings there.

After thinking about it, Wu Dongfang ran to the beach, picked up a few big fish, threaded them with a rope and walked to the woods to the west. Along the way, he picked some mushrooms and threaded them with bark. He wanted to see the wasp. Get the antidote back from the prince.

The wasp definitely doesn't eat fish or mushrooms, but he can't find anything else. As the old saying goes, sending a gift of goose feathers from a thousand miles away is light on friendship, and this time he went there to show his kind attitude.

Tracking is a compulsory course for the Cheetah Unit. Following the traces left by the prince last night, at about three o'clock he found the valley surrounded by three peaks. It was sheltered from the wind and sunny, and the vegetation grew better than other places. Come on, the valley is full of all kinds of flowers. Most of the flowers belong to grass and trees, and some belong to laurel trees and shrubs.

In the north of the valley, there is a small house. The house is crudely built and dilapidated. The door is closed, and it is not known whether the owner is at home.

Wu Dongfang stopped at the edge of the valley and shouted cautiously, "Excuse me, is anyone here?"

I called twice, but no one answered. Wu Dongfang hesitated for a moment and then shouted. He was not familiar with the habits of wasps and did not know whether this animal had a strong sense of territory, so he did not dare to enter the valley for fear of angering others.

After shouting seven or eight times, the door of the wooden house was pushed open, and a bent old woman walked out. This old woman looked like a wasp at first glance, with a triangular face, short hair, wide chest, narrow waist, short hands, and thin legs. , holding a cane in his hand.

"Are you yelling?" The old woman tilted her head and looked at Wu Dongfang at the edge of the valley.

"Go back to Fairy Aunt, it's me. My friend bumped into you yesterday, and I'm here to apologize to you." Wu Dongfang bent down and handed over his hands. Since he was here to apologize, his attitude had to be more modest. You won't lose much by calling him Fairy Aunt. grown ups.

People are willing to listen to good words, but non-human people are more willing to hear good things. After listening to Wu Dongfang's words, the old woman's attitude softened, she raised her left hand and waved to him, "Hurry up, this is not the place you should be."

"We are new here and don't have anything decent. When my friend can go to the ground, we will prepare some clean and elegant gifts so that he can come and apologize to you in person." Wu Dongfang rushed to the old woman and handed her over again.

The old woman glanced at Wu Dongfang, walked towards the flowers in front of the house, pulled out a plant similar to wormwood from under a laurel tree and threw it towards him, "Seeing that you are so sensible, let Lai Hu suffer the consequences" Some sins."

The distance between the two was nearly a kilometer, and the plant flew towards him like an arrow. When it got closer, its momentum disappeared and it fell in front of him.

Wu Dongfang hurriedly picked up the plant, "Thank you Fairy, we live thirty miles to the east. If you have any errands, you can go over and give us instructions."

"Let's go." The old woman waved her hand.

Wu Dongfang handed over his hand again and turned to leave. It was worth coming this time, otherwise he would get the antidote. He also told the wasp spirit that they lived thirty miles to the east. In the Jianghu parlance, this was called worshiping the wharf.

Back in the cave, it was almost dark.

The prince was lying by the puddle, raised his head when he heard the sound, and asked confusedly, "Have you gone to do it?"

"In order to get you the antidote, I pretended to be a grandson." Wu Dongfang came over and handed the plant to the prince, "Eat it quickly, the wasp gave it to you."

The prince smelled it, opened his mouth and started chewing.

Everything in the world is affected by something, and this plant is very suitable for the disease. That night, the pig's head turned into a fox's head. The eyes can see and the mouth can eat.

The prince doesn't like fish very much. He likes to eat meat and insects, but when meat and insects are not available, fish can make do.

After getting to know two "neighbors" who lived nearby, Wu Dongfang began to collect food. He collected a lot of food. There was plenty of space in the caves and plenty of salt in the sea. After making bows and arrows, he could hunt goats, hares and pheasants, pickle and dry them, and collect marine fish from the sea. Sea vegetables were also dried in large quantities. He had been doing this for half a month. He also found a white thing similar to a large wax block at the beach. After smelling the smell, the prince said that this was ambergris. After drying, it was really strange. The fragrance is incomparable, strong but not pungent.

"I seem to have smelled this smell before." Wu Dongfang recalled with a frown.

"This thing is very expensive and ordinary people can't afford it." The prince said.

"Is there any ambergris that is lighter, lighter, and cooler than this one?" Wu Dongfang asked. He recalled where he smelled this smell. When he was in the Jin tribe, he was attracted by the fat wizard. During the sneak attack, he beat up the fat man and several villagers from other villages. Later, Ming Yue complained about him. He sulked and drank too much, returned to the cave and slept outside the cave. He was very thirsty and hazy. There was a woman who vaguely brought him water. The woman had a strange fragrance, which was very similar to ambergris, but also slightly different.

"The smell you mentioned should be from Thousand Years Gong." The prince said.

"What is a thousand-year tribute?" Wu Dongfang asked.

"The best ambergris has been floating in the sea for more than a thousand years. Each piece of thousand-year tribute has a different smell. It's extremely expensive." The prince grinned and tilted his head. "Who did you smell this smell on?"

Wu Dongfang frowned and said nothing.

"I've been here for half a month and I haven't seen you practicing magic. You are looking for food all day long. Do you plan to live here for the rest of your life?" the prince asked.

"I have to be free from worries so that I can practice quietly. I have almost enough food. I will start tomorrow." Wu Dongfang picked up a two or three kilogram piece of ambergris and walked outside, "Let's go."

"Why are you going?" The prince stood up.

"Go to the valley and look for that old wasp." Wu Dongfang said.

"No." The prince lay back again.

The prince didn't go, and Wu Dongfang didn't force it to go. He went by himself. He told the old woman that day that he would go again if he found something good, and he had to keep his word.

Wasp Jing didn't expect that he would go again. When she saw him coming with ambergris, she gave him a high look, thanked him and accepted the ambergris he gave her.

Early the next morning, Wu Dongfang sat down, closed his eyes and recalled the Jin clan's Qi training method taught by Ming Yue that day...
