In a wide cave underground, the top about 4 feet high was inlaid with moonstone with a faint white glow, and the entire space was dark.
The ground is covered with dense black scorpions. They are facing each other in pairs, and their claws on both sides of their heads are struggling against each other...
One of them took advantage of the opponent not paying attention and stretched out its pincer legs to restrain the opponent's neck. The bodies of both parties trembled and squirmed, and they were both struggling with each other...
Soon, the one that was caught took advantage of the gap and jumped forward. The hook on its tail pierced the black shell on the opponent's back and penetrated directly into its body.
After a breath, the clamping legs were released, and the black scorpion fell to the ground. The opponent took this opportunity to pounce on it, and soon devoured its entire body, leaving only the poisonous stinger on its tail. The dark ground shimmered with cold light.
Similar scenes are happening everywhere in the space, and the only difference is whether the opponent is eaten or not.
Zhou Buxi, who was hiding at a higher point to observe the scene below, saw this and her teeth felt sore. She couldn't help but use her consciousness to complain to Yu Wan beside her.
"Hiss~ You said these black scorpions are really cruel. After defeating them, they won't eat each other... You might as well learn from those black scorpions who make a friendly exit and turn around and leave."
Yu Wan didn't say anything, just glanced at her sideways.
Zhou Buxi couldn't help but speak again when he saw Yu Wan's cold demeanor despite his young age.
"Sister Wan, it's not good for you to be like this. You're only twelve years old, so you can't develop a cold look. You..."
"They're not fighting, they're mating."
Yu Wan's calm voice interrupted Zhou Buxi's chatter.
When Zhou Buxi heard her answer, he couldn't help but froze there, his cheeks flushed. But because the light was dim, Yu Wan didn't turn his head, so he didn't notice her expression.
"Mate... mate?" Zhou Buxi couldn't believe it and asked in surprise.
Yu Wan looked down and nodded with an unchanged expression, "Yes, if the male scorpion does not leave in time after mating, he will be swallowed directly by the female scorpion to provide nutrition for the young. After that, it only takes half a day for the female scorpion to The baby scorpions will be produced, put them on the back and raise them for about a month, and then the baby scorpions will leave to fend for themselves."
Zhou Buxi was stunned for a moment, and then asked in the voice transmission, "Then why did you ask me to bring you here? Just watch them... they..."
Yu Wan took out the Liuzhi Mountain and explained to her, "The newborn scorpions are still in their larval state. This thing can help Bayberry recover from the wounds on its limbs as quickly as possible... We can't stay here forever."
Zhou Buxi looked like he suddenly understood, and then he realized the purpose of Yu Wan asking her to cover her aura all the way and come here.
No longer asking where Yu Wan learned this, she just took out her Sky-Breaking Sword and began to look down the cave, quietly waiting for the larvae to come out.
Regarding this information, Yu Wan saw it from the monster records given by his master.
I have to say that every time I open the Chronicles of Monsters, Herbal Classics and recipes given by my master, I admire how well-informed the senior food cultivators are. They really eat everything...
Time passed slowly, and the motionless black scorpions on the ground slowly began to squirm from side to side. Then after a long time, when they moved aside, Zhou Buxi saw a white mass under the place where they used to be.
Through the moonstone placed above her head, she could vaguely see pairs of small black dots randomly distributed on the white mass.
Thinking that these were black scorpion larvae, Zhou Buxi also guessed that the black spots were probably their eyes.
She was about to turn around and ask Yu Wan about his action plan when she heard her voice transmission.
"Only take the ones within five feet below us and kill these female scorpions directly. I will leave you on your right and gather at the entrance of the cave."
Zhou Buxi looked at the densely packed female scorpions and larvae on the right and nodded.
After living for free for so long, she should be more responsible...
Moreover, although these female scorpions are still in a weak stage after giving birth, they are still golden elixir monsters after all, so it is relatively easy for me.
After receiving Zhou Buxie's reply, they ejected instantly with Yu Wan's soft shout.
These female scorpions had just entered the dormant recovery stage and were a little sluggish. Before they could react, Zhou Buxie took away their heads or split them into two pieces.
After all, there was such a difference in cultivation, Yu Wan could only use Liuzhi Mountain to slap them flat.
While the two were harvesting, they did not forget to pick up the poisonous hooks of the dead male scorpions on the ground.
A moment later, they rushed to the entrance of the cave one after another, and quickly returned to the small cave where they first woke up under Zhou Buxie's breathing technique.
The two of them have been here for about half a month and have already figured out the entire underground passage under the cover of Zhou Buxie.
The reason why he hasn't left yet is that Yang Mei hasn't woken up yet, and secondly, Yu Wan wants to get some larvae from here to help Yang Mei recover and taste the taste of raw pickled scorpions in the mouth of Master and Master.
Taking out enough for bayberry, Yu Wan taught Zhou Buxie how to prepare it, and the two started working separately.
After a while, the raw pickled scorpion was ready, and the joints of the bayberry limbs were also smeared with a thick layer of white medicinal mud.
Yu Wan also cooked a pot of scorpion soup and fed it to Yangmei first, and then ate it with Zhou Buxi. Hengha was more resistant to this kind of food and stayed in the spirit beast bag without coming out.
Zhou Buxi was very resistant at first, but when she saw the neatly arranged pieces of milky white stuff on the green jasper plate, with two dishes of black vinegar and green mustard on the side, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva and sat down at the table against her will. beside.
Yu Wan handed her a bowl of milky white soup with green scallions cut into small pieces floating on the surface.
Zhou Buxi took a deep breath, smelled the aroma of the soup, nodded towards Yu Wan, then picked up the bowl and started drinking. From time to time, he picked up a milky white slice, dipped it in black vinegar and green mustard, and chewed it.
Mmm~ It’s so delicious~ If I didn’t tell you, who would have known that such a delicious and snow-white thing came from the black scorpion in the dark underground.
For more than two months after that, apart from occasionally going out to hunt some black scorpions to eat, Yu Wan and Zhou Buxi meditated and practiced in the cave.
Yangmei woke up after applying it continuously for half a month. By then, the torn muscles and bones of her limb joints were almost healed.
In the remaining one and a half months, after continuing to apply medicine, diet therapy and meditation, Yangmei finally fully recovered, and the spiritual objects she added during this period successfully rose to the beginning of the 8th level of Qi refining.
Zhou Buxi also completely eliminated toxins from his body under the diet of drunken crabs.
During this period, Yu Wan finally opened up the stomach and intestines, entered the late stage of the 8th level of Qi refining, and began to open up the middle burner and gallbladder organs.
At this time, they had finished adjusting their breaths, and the three of them were full of energy, ready to rush out of this place in one fell swoop.
The three of them moved forward. If they were accidentally discovered, they would be killed directly by Zhou Buxi, who was in the Golden Core stage.
It took them 10 days to finally get out of the underground, and they finally saw the bright sun again.
After adapting to the outside light, Yang Mei happily spread her arms and rotated, feeling the sunshine and breeze. She looked at the green plain on her right and couldn't help shouting happily.
"So beautiful! We are out of the desert~"
Yu Wan was also very happy. She closed her eyes and raised her head to feel the warmth of the sun, and the corners of her mouth gradually rose.
"I didn't expect to arrive directly at Juhua Plain. Finally, I don't have to walk through the desert sea. It's a good thing." Zhou Buxi said happily.
At this time, Yu Wan also looked at the green sea plain and released Heng Ha, letting it relax a bit.
About a moment later, Zhou Buxi said, "Let's go. In the next year, as long as we cross the plains and cross the Tanjiang River, the Taoist Tower will not be far from us."
"In this case, we might as well bet on who can reach the place where flowers and fruits are ripe first."
Yu Wan was excited, raised his hand and pointed to a blurry yellow area in the distance, and suggested to the two of them.
Zhou Buxi squinted in the direction she pointed and said, "Sister Wan, how about we reduce some of our debts if we win. Otherwise, I feel like I have to work for you to pay off the debts for the rest of my life."
"Of course you can if you win." Yu Wan replied with a smile.
"Senior Sister Yu keeps her word." Yang Mei echoed excitedly.
Yu Wan nodded to the two of them.
"In that case, I'll leave first."
Zhou Buxi raised a smirk on his lips and walked away before he finished speaking, leaving only his voice lingering in place.
"Senior Brother Zhou, you are cheating."
Yang Mei shouted and chased after her. Yu Wan called out "Hengha" and flew to catch up.
Trapped underground for nearly half a year, everyone could not restrain their inner joy, laughing and laughing all the way towards the lucky destination.
Laughter spread all around, bringing temporary popularity to this quiet oasis.
On the other side, Longying is now at the junction of Juhua Plain, Naiya and Langu.
His eyes were dull and his movements were stiff. The strong wind on the top of the cliff blew his hair and clothes into chaos.
His crooked figure was walking firmly towards the Naiya cliff step by step.
There is a deep red budding flower growing on the edge of the fracture. The flower gently swings back and forth with the strong wind on the top of the cliff. If you observe carefully, you can see the pale pink pollen flying towards Longying and the plain behind it as it swings.
After the flowers, there is a cliff. The bottom of the cliff is bottomless and pitch black, making it impossible to detect the danger.
Attracted by the pollen, Longying got closer and closer to the red flower.
When we were only three steps away from it, the budded red flower suddenly grew in size, and the buds bloomed, revealing the daylily stamens with cold light inside.
It opened its big bud and reached forward, swallowing Long Ying in one mouthful.
The strong wind on the cliff is still there, and the red flowers are still holding their buds and releasing pollen, waiting for the next prey to arrive.
On the edge of the plain, Yu Wan, who was using Lei Dun and Lingbo Bagua Steps, was still inferior to Zhou Buxie.
However, she had already expected this result. After all, there was a big gap in the realm. In this case, she could arrive only 3 breaths away from Zhou Buxie, which was already very fast.
The three of them walked this section of the road extremely happily. Firstly, they were excited about the sun they had not seen for many months, and secondly, because there were almost no monsters within a hundred miles of the Black Scorpion Cave.
This is the reason why the three of them and one beast are so unrestrained. Their nerves have been tense for many days, and now they can finally rest and relax.
After setting up the formation in the evening, he directed Zhou Buxi and Yangmei to pick the yellow fruits in this area, and at the same time his subordinates took out the rice, Qiu Kui meat, glazed vegetables, banana plums, and the ones that were made when making mandarin ducks and iron plates. The black iron plate was made and began to process the ingredients.
After a while, the sizzling sound of hot oil cooking came from the iron plate.
On the other side, the two people who were still picking yellow flowers also smelled the aroma of rice and meat in the air, and their speed instantly increased a lot.
After a while, there were two more yellow-green hills at the edge of the formation, which were the results of the two people's work.
Yu Wan had already learned about it in the Baicao Jing, and even the Food Jing also introduced it.
So she picked up the golden knife very skillfully, cut off the dark green phoenix leaves on the head of the fruit, peeled off the yellow hard skin on the surface of the fruit, and dug out the orderly arranged fruit eyes.
As soon as the knife skills were used, it didn't take long for the golden ring-shaped fruits, which were as thick as a little finger knuckle and with a hole in the center, to be neatly placed on the iron plate. The edges of each piece were deep and shallow, which was the hard skin peeled off the surface of the fruit. and eye holes.
When the fruit pulp is roasted until it is 80% cooked, Yu Wan pan-fried the rice cakes, Qiu Kui meat cakes, glass vegetable leaves, Juhua fruit slices, glass vegetable leaves, Qiu Kui meat cakes, and fried rice cakes directly on the iron plate. In order, stack them layer by layer.
In this way, a serving of Lingmi Fenghuan Fort is ready.
In the end, she also made five portions of the rice burger version with squid and plums, just substituting the polyhuaguo slices.
Put the jade plate filled with rice forts on the square table and take some out for Heng Ha.
The three of them sat down together. After Zhou Buxi and Yang Mei nodded to Yu Wan at the same time, they couldn't wait to pick up a portion of rice burger and bit into it with their mouths wide open.
Click~click~
There were crisp sounds, the sound of fried brown rice cakes and glazed cabbage leaves being bitten off.
The three of them didn't exchange a word during meal time. They were all concentrating on eating and their mouths were very busy.
Hold the rice burger with both hands, squeeze it tightly, and bite it in one bite, so that you can eat all the layers at the same time...
The rice is fragrant, the meat is juicy, the fruit is sour and sweet, and the leaves are crisp~
Wood spiritual energy, thunder spiritual energy, and earth spiritual energy rushed into his belly first.
It is extremely blissful to obtain spiritual energy in this way.
They ate quietly, and until the end of the meal, the three of them tacitly picked up the rice burger with plums and followed the same operation and took a bite.
Although sweet plums are equally sour and sweet, the sourness is stronger, and the overall taste is completely different from that of Juhuaguo.
Its pulp is juicy, the water spirit is sufficient and soft, and its overall flavor is on par with Fenghuanbao.
After eating, Zhou Buxi and Yang Mei cleared the table in tacit agreement, and the three of them each found a place to meditate.
Heng Ha lay down next to Yu Wan's legs as usual and fell asleep comfortably.
This night, the evening breeze was cool, the moonlight was like water, and there was only a full moon in the sky hanging low on the hills.
On the edge of the cliff, the red flowers under the moonlight were covered with a layer of gauze.
At this moment, it is not absorbing light and spitting powder as leisurely as usual.
There is no wind at the moment, but you can still see its flower stems swaying from side to side. If you look closely at the flower buds, you can see tiny bulges on the surface of the flower buds from time to time.
In the second half of the night, the moonlight disappeared like water, and the surrounding area fell into darkness.
Suddenly there was a thumping sound in the quiet space. It turned out that the flower bud couldn't bear it anymore and actually vomited out the prey it had swallowed during the day.
Before the prey's sharp blade could reach it, it quickly closed its flower buds and used the petals on its surface to resist the harsh attack.
A burst of sparks shot out, and an increasingly embarrassed Longying appeared.
He held the Yanling knife in his hand and chopped hard on the flower bud. The bun on his head spread out and stuck to his face, and his clothes became more torn.
After several consecutive chops with no results, he reluctantly put away the Yanling Saber, turned around, jumped up, and flew away in the direction of Lan Gu.
The red flowers swayed slightly and began to spread pollen again after Long Ying left.
There is always prey that can be swallowed and digested, and it takes a hundred years for human cultivators to come in again.
It's not in a hurry.
Please give me a monthly ticket~
By the way, friends, can you guess what Juhuaguo is? The author also discovered that it also has this name when he was looking for information.
This fort is one of the author's favorites. It's sour and sweet. After finishing one, I want another one. When I was young, I went to Dks with my aunt and ate a rice burger. I could never forget the rice cake on the outside. I always wanted to combine the two. It must be very delicious~[Greedy]
