Chapter 675: Three-Headed Strange Bird
Xiao Ye originally thought that the medicine garden was just an ordinary medicine garden. Unexpectedly, after entering it, he realized that he was wrong, and he was very wrong.
After finding the person in charge of the medicine garden, Xiao Ye asked for a silver coin and handed it to the little girl.
"I can't find it either!" The little girl looked at the silver coins in her hand and felt a little confused.
The exchange ratio of copper coins to silver coins is 1:1000. After living for so long, this is the first time she has touched something as rare as a silver coin.
"No need to look for it." Xiao Ye waved his hand and said.
"No need to look for it?" Not only the little girl was stunned, but also the person in charge on the side.
Brother, this is my money!
It’s not your money. If you don’t feel sad, I feel sad!
Even if you are an elder, you can't do this!
The look in Xiao Ye's eyes looked a little strange at that moment.
Xiao Ye explained: "I see that you are very familiar with this place. I may go out again in the future and look for you again. This will be regarded as the salary given to you in advance."
"That's it." The little girl breathed a sigh of relief obviously. She thought Xiao Ye had other ideas.
To be honest, she was quite reluctant to part with this silver coin, but she knew how much she should take and was not willing to take more. However, it was not impossible if she could get her salary in advance.
"But it's so big here, how do I know when you need me?" the little girl asked.
"You don't have to worry about this." Xiao Ye condensed a sword intention seed and shot it into her body: "When I need to call you, I will come to you through it, and I will tell you when the time comes. Where to find me?"
"This thing won't have any impact on me, right?" the little girl said nervously.
"No." Xiao Ye shook his head.
"Not only won't it, this thing will also protect you when you are in danger." The person in charge said with envy on his face.
This method of condensing sword intent seeds out of thin air is not something that ordinary people can do. None of the sword-wielding elders of the Xuan family seem to have this method.
Xiao Ye's hand directly suppressed him. Before, he thought that Xiao Ye was the descendant of some elder or came here through some kind of relationship. Now it seems that he has real skills and real strength!
"Didn't you say this is a medicine garden? Why didn't I see anything?" After the little girl left, Xiao Ye looked at the person in charge in confusion.
"Don't you know?" The person in charge also looked at Xiao Ye doubtfully.
Xiao Ye shook his head.
The person in charge frowned: "Didn't Elder Li tell you?"
Xiao Ye shook his head again.
In fact, Li planned to explain the situation of the medicine garden to Xiao Ye, but Xiao Ye did not give him this opportunity. He originally thought that Xiao Ye would stay at the Xuan family for a while before coming to the medicine garden, so he planned to I would introduce the situation here to Xiao Ye in a few days. Who knew that Xiao Ye couldn't sit still at all and came directly the next day.
This led to this scene happening.
"Since Elder Li didn't tell you, let me introduce it to you now." Although the person in charge felt it was a bit strange, he didn't think much about it.
He also had no doubts about Xiao Ye's identity, although the other party's age was a bit too young.
"The so-called medicine garden is actually not here. This is just an entrance. The real medicine garden needs to be reached through the teleportation array. The guards outside the door are also to prevent anyone from coming to destroy the teleportation array." The person in charge explained.
"I see." Xiao Ye nodded and said with sudden realization, "I'm just confused. This place is obviously a medicine garden. Why don't I see any medicinal materials? So that's it."
The person in charge smiled and said: "This is actually not a secret to many people. There are similar places like this in almost every family."
"By the way, Elder Li asked me to take charge of things here. I wonder what I need to do?" Xiao Ye asked.
"In fact, usually
It doesn't matter. The picking, transportation, and preservation of medicinal materials are all done by relevant people," the person in charge said.
Xiao Ye was stunned for a moment, with a strange expression on his face: "Do you mean I don't need to do anything?"
"No." The person in charge shook his head and said, "In fact, the most important thing for every elder who comes to serve in the medicine garden is to be responsible for the safety of the medicine garden."
"Safe?" Xiao Ye was a little confused: "Is it possible that people from other families will come and cause trouble?"
"Of course not." The person in charge said, "Every big family has an agreement that they will not do this kind of thing. The main thing we are on guard against is monsters."
"Monster?"
"Yes. In the small world where the medicine garden is located, some monsters will appear from time to time. They will often come to the medicine garden to cause damage and even steal herbs. Elder, your main task is to clean them up or stop them. Don't let them destroy the medicine garden," the person in charge said.
"I understand." Xiao Ye nodded.
The person in charge smiled and said: "Elder, you don't have to worry. In fact, these monsters are very weak. In a sense, the position of Yaoyuan can be regarded as dispensable. There have been people here for several months. There is no one to manage it, but it’s not like nothing happened.”
"Those weak monsters can be dealt with by us. Only when we encounter monsters that we cannot deal with will we ask you, elder, to take action."
After listening to what he said, Xiao Ye finally understood the "importance" of this position. This position should be a good thing for other elders. After all, it doesn't require much effort and is not that troublesome.
The Xuan family was probably afraid that Xiao Ye would be idle and would be discovered by Wang's people when he went out for a walk, so they gave him such a position. After all, the small world where the medicine garden is located is not here, and Xiao Ye only needs to stay in it. If it is, the possibility of being discovered is almost zero.
Although there is some suspicion of restricting Xiao Ye, it can also be seen that the Xuan family values him.
However, Xiao Ye didn't care much about this. His purpose was to find a place to recuperate safely. As for where, it didn't matter much.
"Let's go in and take a look." After pondering, Xiao Ye nodded.
Under the leadership of the person in charge, Xiao Ye and he came to a teleportation array. Xiao Ye was not surprised that there was a teleportation array in this world.
I came here from the Xuanyuan family through the teleportation array before. Otherwise, the capital city is so big. If I want to get from the Xuanyuan family area to the Xuan family area, I don't know how long it will take to walk.
However, the teleportation array is very rare, so it is only used for this kind of long-distance teleportation.
The two entered the medicine garden through the portal.
In an instant, Xiao Ye smelled a strong medicinal fragrance and felt relaxed and happy in his mind.
Looking around, he saw a broad medicinal field appearing in front of him. There were various kinds of herbs planted in the field, and each herb had its own separate area.
"This medicine garden must be natural, right?" Xiao Ye observed it for a while and said with some uncertainty.
"Your vision is really accurate." The person in charge praised: "Yes, when we discovered this place, it was already a natural medicinal garden, but there were a lot of weeds, so we cleaned up the weeds , completely turning it into a medicine garden.”
"I knew it would be difficult to cultivate such a unique place artificially." Xiao Ye sighed.
"Hey, why did that guy come here?" Suddenly, the person in charge's face changed.
Xiao Ye followed his gaze and saw a large colorful bird lying in a bush of herbs in the distance. Because it was blocked by the herbs, he couldn't see its full picture.
"What is that?" Xiao Ye asked the person in charge in a low voice.
"I don't know either." The person in charge said with a wry smile: "This guy appears every once in a while. He seems to treat this place as his back garden. He eats a bunch of herbs and disappears every time."
"Didn't you drive it away or kill it?" Xiao Ye felt a little strange.
The person in charge had some embarrassment on his face: "It's not that it's not happening, it's that we can't do anything about it. It's too fast and we can't catch it at all. Every time we chase it, it will cause chaos in the entire medicine garden." The world is upside down, and the herbs it harms each time are not many, and compared with the losses caused by catching it, it is completely worthless, so over time, I have acquiesced in allowing it to be here."
"So powerful?" Xiao Ye became interested.
"That's right, let's go out first. This guy hates being disturbed when he is eating. It will be even more troublesome when he makes a fuss." The person in charge said gloomily.
Because he didn't understand the situation, although he was somewhat interested in the big bird, Xiao Ye did not act rashly and nodded. The two were about to return the same way when they suddenly heard a strange cry coming from the depths of the medicine garden. .
"quack!"
It's like a duck's quack, but there's something different about it. It's as unpleasant as it sounds.
"What is this cry?" Xiao Ye looked at the person in charge doubtfully.
The person in charge didn't speak, just shook his head. Judging from his appearance, he probably didn't know what it was.
"Such a cry has never happened before." He explained in a low voice.
The big colorful bird seemed to have heard the cry. After eating a few herbs like a gulp, it flapped its wings and quickly left the medicine garden.
Only when it flew did Xiao Ye see its appearance clearly. It looked a bit like the legendary peacock, but it didn't feel like it.
"It seems to be afraid of the thing that made the noise." The person in charge frowned and said, "Normally it won't leave until it's full. Looking at it, it's obvious that it's not full, but now it's running away. It looks like he was scared away."
"I think so too." Xiao Ye nodded: "Let's hide first and see what the thing that screamed is."
The two hid themselves, and soon saw a three-headed strange bird slowly appearing in the medicine garden.
The three-headed strange bird had fiery red feathers and was burning like a flame. The three heads made one or two squawking sounds from time to time as it walked.
After the strange bird walked into the medicine garden, it took a leisurely walk in the garden, tapping its beak on the herbs every few steps. The herbs in its beak shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It is obvious that the herbal essence inside has been completely absorbed by it.
After the person in charge saw clearly what the strange bird was doing, he almost couldn't help but rushed out. Fortunately, Xiao Ye had quick eyesight and quick hands to stop him.
"Don't be impulsive, we don't know its strength yet." Xiao Ye whispered.
"Are you just going to watch it destroy the source of the medicine?" The person in charge looked a little ugly.
"Looking again, I always feel that its purpose is not that simple." Xiao Ye said.
The two of them continued to watch.
The purpose of the strange bird does not seem to be those herbs, but more like looking for something in the herb bush.
Soon Xiao Ye knew what it was looking for.
When it walked to a certain herb, its beak suddenly grew ten times longer and pierced directly into the depths of the ground. When he retracted his beak again, something was already hanging on it. .
It was a strange-looking insect, with a body as big as a fist, dark black, and a segmented body, like a long-segmented insect.
With Xiao Ye's eyesight, he could clearly see all the details on the insect.
The three-headed strange bird screamed, swallowed the bug in one gulp and chewed it, not knowing what it tasted like.
"quack!"
"quack!"
The other two heads didn't eat anything, and they screamed immediately. One head sprayed out flames, and the other sprayed out ice, and blasted towards the middle head.
Unexpectedly, the head in the middle opened its mouth wide and swallowed all the ice and flames. Not only that, it also burped with satisfaction and looked at the other two heads with contempt.
"This." Xiao Ye and the person in charge were stunned.
"Are you sure you haven't seen this kind of thing before?" Xiao Ye asked in a low voice.
"No, this is the first time I've seen him in so many years." The person in charge shook his head in confusion.
While the two people were talking, they suddenly heard the three-headed strange bird making that ugly strange cry again, and it also started running forward.
Xiao Ye and the other two quickly looked over, and what they saw surprised them slightly.
