Chapter 33 Not ashamed, but proud
(first update)
Author: Cambrian
"...Then what counts as dirty things?" Xia Chujian was curious.
She originally thought about the degree of mysophobia of the Blood Kirin from a human perspective, but now she realizes that that may not be the case.
Sanzong smiled innocently, and while pulling up the humus on the ground with his hands, he said: "Apart from the humus where it grows, the clean air and rainfall, everything else must be considered pollution, such as blood and urine.
Ah, ashes... um..."
When Xia Chu met, he understood immediately.
She twitched the corner of her mouth.
Sanzong skillfully dug a hole under the blood unicorn, dug out all the roots of the blood unicorn, held it in his hands, and brought it to Xia Chu to meet him. He said, "Female uncle! Look! This is the most beautiful thing Sanzong has ever seen.
Fresh blood unicorn!"
The appearance of this blood unicorn really looks like a small green beast, even the two horns on its head are vivid.
Unfortunately, it is not an animal, but a plant.
Xia Chujian's eyes were not on the bloody unicorn.
Her eyes were wandering, and she kept patrolling the area around the blood unicorn, trying to find the companion plant of the blood unicorn - "empty mulberry".
According to the records of the academician Tantai Si, Kongmulberry is a kind of herbaceous plant. It looks so weak that it can be blown away by a gust of wind. The plant is slender and the leaves are like orchid grass, but twice as short as orchid grass.
The petals are moon white with a touch of light pink, and the leaves are a hazy mist green.
This plant is said to grow around the green blood unicorn.
But when she looked at it, there was nothing next to the small pit where the bloody unicorn was dug out.
Not to mention the misty green orchid-like plants, there was not even a single withered yellow grass.
In addition to black humus soil, there is also black humus soil.
Sanzong held the blood unicorn for a long time, but Xia Chujian reached out to pick it up. He couldn't help but look at her doubtfully, and asked in a low voice: "Does the lady not like this blood unicorn?"
Xia Chujian's mind was spinning rapidly, but his face remained calm as he said calmly: "It's just a mission, it's not about whether you like it or not. But one blood unicorn is not enough..."
Sanzong said "Oh" and said hurriedly: "Sanzong heard from the director of the plantation that the Alien Beast Forest can produce ten blood unicorns a year. This is one, and there should be nine more!"
He looked at Xia Chujian eagerly, just waiting for her to speak, and he would help her find it!
Xia Chujian thought to himself that according to the article written by Academician Tantai Sinian, the empty mulberry plant millions of years ago was found in a nest of blood unicorns.
Is the quantifier "a nest" also the key point?
At this moment, she only saw one blood unicorn here, which obviously did not meet the concept of "a nest".
Xia Chu saw his eyes rolling, but still asked calmly: "Sanmane, do the blood unicorns all grow like this one by one? Do they grow together in nests?"
Sanzong's eyes suddenly widened, and he thought for a while before saying: "Sanzong has never heard of it, but it should be possible... However, that requires the humus soil to be very fertile, more fertile than ordinary humus soil.
That’s it!”
"How to say?"
"...Female lady, look here. There is a blood unicorn here, and there are no other plants around it. Because the blood unicorn absorbs fertilizer particularly, there is about an acre of humus soil here, which is only enough to support the growth of one blood unicorn.
"
"If several blood unicorns are to grow together and form a nest, then the humus soil for them to grow must not only be very large, but also must be particularly fertile. It is not ordinary fertile, it must be unavailable for many, many years.
Only by growing other things can it accumulate enough fertility."
Xia Chujian frowned: "...Many, many years, how many years?"
Sanzhao scratched the pig's face in embarrassment: "Well, Sanzhao heard from the director of the garden, it will take at least hundreds of thousands of years..."
So it is probably humus soil that has not grown anything else for hundreds of thousands of years at least!
The area of this humus soil must be extremely large.
Sanzong, who knew how to farm, had no idea how big it was, and Xia Chujian had no idea even more.
Xia Chu frowned almost imperceptibly.
How can I find this?
Even if we spend several months here until March next year, it is impossible to explore every inch of land here...
If Kongsang cannot be found before March next year, then my aunt will have to wait another year.
But according to Dr. Shen Junyi, it is unlikely that my aunt will be able to wait until next year...
When Xia Chujian thought that her aunt, who had raised her since she was a child and depended on her for life, left her like this, Xia Chujian's heart felt as if the sky had collapsed!
No, it must not wait until next year!
Xia Chujian became angry, looked at Sanzong with an evil look, and asked in a low voice: "Is there any way to find the location of other blood unicorns as soon as possible?"
Sanzong scratched his head and said: "Sanzong can smell it, but this place is too big, I'm afraid it will take a long time..."
"How long does it take for you to smell everywhere?"
"...Everywhere?!" The three-bristle pig's face almost collapsed, "Three-bristle will never be able to smell it until he dies! This place is too big!"
Xia Chujian was so distraught that he walked back and forth in the woods, muttering: "Is there really no way? Is there really no way?"
Her voice was not loud, but there was a strong sense of despair and sadness in her tone.
Not only did the pig-headed humanoid Sanzhao involuntarily feel sympathy in his heart, but even the little dog felt it.
It looked up at Xia Chujian, its small black bean-like eyes seemed to be filled with tears that were about to fall.
It didn't take long, it arrived in ten minutes.
Ye Shijie's voice came from Xia Chujian's bone-sensing headset: "Xia Chujian, are you coming back by yourself, or should I ask Li Fu and Song Ming to come and capture you?"
When Xia Chu met, he had no other choice.
She looked at the smart bracelet. It was only after one in the afternoon, but it was already getting dark.
Because this place is close to the extreme north, the daylight hours in winter are only six hours at most.
The further north you go, the shorter the daylight hours are.
Arriving at the core restricted area of life in the Far North, it is always dark and there is no sunlight.
The snow has stopped, and the night is like a veil falling from the sky, covering everything in the world.
The temperature dropped even more sharply.
Although Xia Chujian was wearing the ivory white wool hat knitted by her aunt and a particularly warm coat made of the same material, she still felt the coldness spreading like a tide.
It's better to go back first.
I'll figure it out tomorrow.
Xia Chujian said dullly: "I'll be back soon."
Ye Shijie didn't say anything more and immediately stopped the call.
Xia Chujian took out a storage bag that could be kept fresh, put the blood unicorn with soil into the bag, then turned around and walked back along the original path.
At this time, in the gradually darkening night sky, a crisp bird song came across the sky.
Xia Chujian raised his head and saw that the gryphon Hai Dongqing was flying back.
The long dark chain around its neck looks particularly prominent against the golden feathers.
But this griffon Hai Dongqing is not ashamed, but proud.
When it raised its head and shouted loudly in mid-air, it seemed that it wished that all the birds in the Alien Forest could see the "necklace" around its neck.
Xia Chujian's mouth twitched and he stopped.
Not long after, the griffon Hai Dongqing landed next to her, lowered its furry lion head, and rubbed Xia Chujian's hand flatteringly.
Xia Chujian: "..."
She also didn't expect that the griffon Hai Dongqing seemed so proud before, but then turned out to be so docile after being tamed.
She randomly brushed the long golden hair on the top of its head, turned over and jumped on its back.
Then he stretched out his hand towards the pig-headed humanoid Sanzhao and Coyotito: "You both come up."
Sanzong looked up at her in shock, with a pair of black bean-like eyes, just like Coyotito, so pure without a trace of impurities.
"Female uncle! No need! Sanzhao can follow you!" He waved his hands repeatedly, as if he didn't believe that normal humans would give him such good treatment.
But Coyotito was very happy.
It shouted "Wurfu, Wuerfu" and tried hard to jump on the back of the griffon Hai Dongqing.
But the griffon Hai Dongqing is too tall. Even if he squats on the ground, he is still two meters high. With Coyotito's chubby little body, it is good to be able to jump one meter high.
Although Xia Chujian felt depressed, he couldn't help but curl his lips when he saw Coyotito's "failed and defeated" appearance.
She said to the pig-headed humanoid Sanzhi: "You come up here with Coyotito in your arms. You can run, but Coyotito can't run. It's too small and it's too cold here. We have to go back quickly."
Sanzhao was so excited that he didn't know what to say. He rubbed his big, calloused hands nervously, looked at Xia Chujian, and then at Xiaozizi who was still eager to try, jumping and failing, and finally nodded, "Okay.
Sanzhi is for Coyotito!"
He picked up Xiaozizi, then jumped onto the broad back of the gryphon Hai Dongqing with a slight leap.
Xia Chujian raised an eyebrow.
She didn't expect that this pig-headed humanoid who looked a bit clumsy and was said to only know how to farm was actually pretty good at it.
Sanzong didn't know what Xia Chujian was thinking, but he just huddled close to the tail of the griffon Hai Dongqing, holding Coyotito in one hand, and quietly grabbed a feather of the griffon Hai Dongqing with the other hand, and sat upright.
When Xia Chu saw the chain around the neck of the griffon Hai Dongqing, he calmly said: "A Diao, let's go."
The griffon Hai Dongqing let out a joyful cry, spread out its broad wings, trembled violently, and raised its head into the dark night sky.
When we reached the sky, the wind became even stronger, whistling past our ears.
Xia Chujian wore a self-heating mask, goggles, and a fleece hat, but they were not as windproof as a tightly fitted helmet.
The all-pervasive cold wind penetrated into the gap between her mask and wool hat like a needle prick.
As soon as it touched her skin, the extremely low temperature that could freeze people to death immediately caused great damage to Xia Chujian.
She took a breath and hurriedly lay down, burying her entire face in the fur on the neck of the gryphon Hai Dongqing.
Fortunately, the chill subsided immediately and her whole body became warm again.
As if the griffon Hai Dongqing knew she was freezing, he spread his wings and flew faster.
Xia Chujian breathed a sigh of relief and turned her head to look at the night sky.
It's like swimming in a lake full of diamonds. Those twinkling stars are the diamonds in the lake, pure, white and shiny.
With Griffon Haidongqing, the distance that used to take half an hour to walk on your own now only takes a few minutes.
Scroll back, there is another update.
I follow the good example and release the two updates together.
My dears, you have to work hard!
Chapter completed!
