Chapter 43 ~ The smelly rascal~
Chapter 43 ~ The smelly rascal~
Gu Yan and Ji Loushen went up the mountain early in the morning, and they wanted to go to the deep mountain to have a look.
Originally, Su Yun and Yue Zhang were asked to lead the way, but the two unlucky children disappeared, leaving only the two masters, meticulously looking for Su Kui's trace.
Gu Yan: "..."
Ji Lou said deeply: "Actually, Yuezhang was not like this before." It really wasn't Yuezhang who brought Suyun down.
Gu Yan covered his face, and said: "I know, I know, Su Yun has always been like this." It is said that dogs are more reliable than cats, but looking at it now, it may be false.
Although Su Yun is not a dog, Yue Zhang is not a cat either.
Su Kui likes shade, and often grows under trees, with a little green branches and leaves exposed on the ground, which can be missed if you don't pay attention.Gu Yan and Ji Loushen had never dug Sukui before, they searched for a long time, and finally found a few in the deep mountains and old forests with good luck.
Gu Yan carefully scraped away the soil around Su Kui, and studied with Ji Lou for a while.This sunflower plant is very small, with thin branches and leaves, and the rhizome, which is the essence of the whole sunflower plant, is only one finger thick.
The whole one looks malnourished.They found a total of four or five plants, all of which looked like this, half dead.The problem is that this place is already deep in the mountains, and there are few people.The environment is much better than that of the outside world, but the quality of Su Kui that can be found along the way is worse than that of the outside.
Ji Loushen filled the soil back, thought for a while, packed some soil and took it back for inspection and testing, and was about to greet Gu Yan to continue walking, when he suddenly heard Su Yun's continuous cry from deeper in the forest.
"It's okay." Gu Yan didn't raise his head, "I don't know who I'm arguing with. Even if Yuezhang fights by the side, he won't suffer."
Ji Loushen is his real father (?), he was a little worried when he heard the voice, so he said: "Go and have a look, Su Yun...well, it's relatively simple."
Gu Yan complained: "It's just stupid!"
The two followed the sound and found two conspicuous spirit beasts.Yuezhang was lying in the shade of a tree, flicking his tail leisurely.And Su Yun... Su Yun lay on the front half of his body, arguing with a fox the size of a house cat.For a while, the howling of wolves and the howling of foxes made people's ears hurt. It was hard for Yuezhang to still look at Suyun lovingly.
Gu Yan grabbed Su Yun's ears who were raving about, and Su Yun slapped Gu Yan's hand off with a groan: "Oooooooooooo!" Don't bother me!
"Su Yun, are you asking for a beating?" Gu Yan said angrily.
When Su Yun heard the master's voice, he turned his head, so frightened that he stopped fighting, spread his claws and ran to hide behind Ji Loushen.
The little fox who was the size of a cat snorted instantly, "Wow! Wow!" You have the ability to quarrel and you have the ability to come out!
Gu Yan turned his face away and looked at the little fox in horror—was it a dog barking just now?
The little fox glared at Gu Yan: "Woof!" Have you ever seen a fox who can speak foreign languages?It turned its head and barked a few times in one direction.
Gu Yan looked in the direction and saw a boy of eighteen or nineteen running towards him, hugged the little fox, and looked up and down anxiously.The little fox licked the opponent's cheek, curled up in the opponent's arms.
Only then did the young man turn his gaze to Gu Yan, and said a little embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, my Qingqing is quite noisy." He hurried back after hearing the noise of the little fox, and saw two huge spirit beasts from a distance, one of which was sticking its butt Arguing with Qingqing, he was so scared that his heart stopped beating-Qingqing's body is not big enough for a snow wolf!
Qingqing?This fox is still a pungent little girl.Gu Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "It's okay, my family is free too."
The young man looked at the white tiger who was slowly walking to Gu Yan's side, hugged Qingqing nervously, and said, "I, my name is Zhang Zhi, are you here to dig Su Kui? The Su Kui in this mountain is not as good as those in the outskirts. Can't find any good ones."
Gu Yan asked curiously, "Why? Logically speaking, shouldn't it be better if there are more Sukui in the deep mountains?"
Zhang Zhi hesitated for a moment, and pointed to the depths of the forest, "I heard that there is something in the mountain, so the deeper the mountain, the less sukui grows. This mountain is actually good, although the production has also dropped. Mainly in the west The Mangrove Mountain, which used to be the place with the largest yield and the best quality of sunflower. But in recent years, the yield and quality have not even been as good as this mountain, and no one has gone in to look for sunflower.”
Jilou looked to the west, and it seemed that he could start from the mangrove mountain.
Gu Yan asked the young man, "Aren't you afraid of danger when you run into such a deep forest by yourself?" Zhang Zhi is also a capable person, but only at the second level. When encountering a more powerful predator, he has no choice but to escape or be rationed.
Zhang Zhi blushed, "I came to the mountain to pick some other things." He patted the basket on his back, "It's all allowed to pick, I'm not breaking the law, really."
Gu Yan smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, pay attention to safety."
Zhang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that he would be forcibly driven down the mountain.
……
The mangrove forest was deep and vast, and when the two of them entered the depths, it was already dark, and the cries of beasts one after another were particularly obvious in the dark night.
"Sleeping in a tent or in a tree?" Gu Yan looked around for a place to rest.
Ji Lou said deeply: "Tent, you go to rest for a while, I'll come." He took out the tent in the space, found a flat place, and quickly set up the tent.
Both of them were a little tired, so they went in to rest.
In the middle of the night, Gu Yan caught the heavy panting of the beast.He slowly opened his eyes in the night, breathing more and more loudly, less than 20 meters away from their tent.
Ji Loushen gently held the dagger at his waist, feeling Gu Yan's tense body beside him.
Inside the warm tent, there seemed to be two ferocious beasts dormant.
The beast stopped in front of the tent, and then there was the sound of claws scratching the ground, and the flying mud splashed on the tent.The hole was quickly dug under the tent, so that the tent was in the way.The beast roared and tore open the tent!
The two people in the tent immediately separated, and looked at the beast through the tattered tent.
When I came out, I realized that it was a humanoid beast with one eye and a huge mouth.About two meters high, the lower limbs support the body, the upper limbs are long and thick, almost hanging down to the ground, and the sharp claws reflect the cold light in the moonlight.
Gu Yan has seen countless strange beasts, but he has never seen one like this. It is probably a species unique to Lasse, and it has not been recorded.
It opened its mouth and let out a series of strange howls, but the sound was not loud, and it could not be calling the group.Beast stared at Gu Yan and Ji Loushen vigilantly for a while, then lowered his head and continued digging.
After digging for a few more minutes, a particularly plump Su Kui appeared in front of the two and one beast.This sunflower plant is as long as the palm of an adult man, white and plump, and looks a little cute.
The beast dug out Su Kui, hurriedly drained the soil on it, and opened its mouth to gnaw!

Gu Yan's heart trembled - the market price of Su Kui with that kind of appearance can be as high as 15!
Ji Loushen was also surprised, looking up and down at the reminder of the beast. Although Su Kui is rich in energy, if he wanted to feed such a beast, he would have to consume at least a hundred Su Kui of the same quality just now in a day.
Mangrove Mountain is so big, how many beasts like this are there?Su Kui's growth requirements are so harsh, how many Su Kui plants are there on the mountain?
The beast ate a sukui plant in a few bites, wiped its mouth, turned and left without even looking at the two of them.
Ji Lou pursed his lips in silence, "Follow?"
Gu Yan nodded.
The movements of the two were very careful, and the beast was very sharp. The two were almost spotted, but they still escaped danger.The beast walked more and more deep into the forest, dug up three or four plump Sukui plants along the way, carried them away in its arms.
It's no wonder that there are not many sunflowers on Hongshu Mountain, and the good ones are probably dug up and eaten on the spot.The beast couldn't eat and walked around, probably returning to the nest to feed its cubs.
Unexpectedly, the beast did not return to the lair they had imagined, but wandered into an open area. There was only one tree growing in this area, and a single tree formed a forest. Under the tree was a huge And Su Kui, who was white and tender, had half of her body exposed in the dirt.
Gu Yan was startled, grabbed Ji Loushen's hand, and whispered, "Holding the grass, does that mean a Su Kuijing?" The part exposed to the ground was taller than Ji Loushen!
Ji Lou was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Maybe it's a white radish."
Gu Yan said: "Radish is also rare, I have never seen such a big wild radish."
But it wasn't a radish, it was a giant sunflower.
The beast holding Su Kui carefully buried it under the giant Su Kui. The giant Su Kui shook the leaves, and Gu Yan, who was hiding far away, could feel a clear and distant fragrance, and their spirits were refreshed. .
Just the smell does the trick!
Ji Lou's deep eyes fell on the bottom of the giant Su Kui, and the green branches and leaves emerging from the ground were lush.He motioned Gu Yan to look down, and Gu Yan said in a low voice, "That place seems to be full of sukui leaves."
Ji Lou nodded deeply, and was about to speak when he heard howling, so he stopped and concentrated.
A group of about a dozen wild beasts came rushing with different numbers of Su Kui in their arms, gathered under the giant Su Kui, and buried the Su Kui in their arms under it.
An exceptionally strong beast let out a long cry, and after a while, several cubs appeared from the darkness and went straight to their parents.The parents holding the cub pulled up the Su Kui from the ground and lovingly handed it to the cub's mouth. The cub gnawed sweetly.
Ji Loushen roughly calculated the number of Su Kui under the giant Su Kui, and there were nearly a thousand of them.And judging from the state of the branches and leaves, it seems that they are all first-class Su Kui.
Sukui cannot be cultivated artificially, but under this giant Sukui tree, it is like a breeding farm, but it is not human beings or beasts that cultivate these Sukui, but giant Sukui.

The giant sunflower shook the leaves again, and the dew accumulated on the leaves fell one after another, evenly falling on the sunflower, and the already green branches and leaves became more luxuriant.
The beasts ate and drank enough, and slowly dispersed.
The two waited for a while, making sure that the group of beasts would not appear again, and then slowly walked out of the hiding place.
A few hundred meters below the giant Su Kui, there is nowhere to stay, and they all look like Su Kui.The two struggled to avoid the densely packed Su Kui and came to the giant Su Kui.
Gu Yan was so mean, he couldn't help touching the giant Su Kui's white and tender body.
"It's not—li——!"
The angry voice of milk directly crashed into the minds of the two of them!
Gu Yan noticed that the Su Kui under him was trembling slightly, and quickly withdrew his hand, but it was too late, the huge Su Kui shook the branches and leaves again, and the dew shook the two of them, chilling the heart.
The voice sobbed, "Smelly rascal."
The author has something to say: cats were fighting at home today, I went up to fight, and then they kept giving me a paw pad.
