Brother Chicken was pecking ferociously, with a pair of sharp claws clawing desperately at the twisting thing underneath him.
On the side, two hens were helpless, stacked on top of each other and clucking non-stop. As for the chicks, they had huddled at the other end of the chicken shed, shivering in the face of the predators who naturally occupy a higher level of the food chain.
.
Oh oh oh!
laugh!
Crowing loudly, Brother Chicken finally used his fatness and strength to pierce his front beak into the scales.
Bloodshot blood spattered, and the long worm rolled around in pain, trying to wrap itself around the food sitting on its body and twist it to death.
This is what Chen Yu saw when he arrived.
The big fiery red rooster on the top kept flying and jumping, and when the dust was flying, it would sometimes come down with its claws and sharp beak. Its opponent was a king snake about five or six feet long.
Yellow and black, with fine scales.
The rooster fights the snake, the scene is very fierce.
Chen Yu looked to the side. Sure enough, the chicken shed was not broken, but a big hole was dug in the soil in the corner.
This is where the long worm probably slipped in.
Not far from the cave entrance, a chicken with drooped wings was lying on the ground, its feathers messy and motionless.
"..." He took two steps closer, took a wooden stick into his hand, weighed it, and then silently approached, intending to give the chicken thief a harsh lesson.
But I don't know if the chicken brother was too fierce, but he beat the snake to the ground. Before Chen Yu could come forward, he got out of the chicken shed in despair and ran away.
Relying on his skill, he chased for a while, but the sky was dim and the grass was deep, so he looked around and found nothing before turning back.
It's unlucky for me that I encountered a snake all the time.
Chen Yu lowered his body and picked up the chicken carcass.
The chicken brother on the side, with his head raised like a victorious general, had shiny and fluffy feathers on his neck. When he saw the two-legged beast, he rushed straight towards it without hesitation.
God knows what grudge this guy has against him!
This time the other party made a great contribution, Chen Yu didn't care, he just pushed the other party away slowly and walked out of the chicken shed.
He took a hoe and dug a small hole far away from the Taoist temple, and buried the chickens.
"There are many wild animals on the mountain. I missed it before."
So I went back to the yard, found some tiles and filled the bottom of the chicken shed, and compacted the gap between the fence and the ground.
I searched the surroundings along the way and found several large and small potholes - without even thinking about it, I knew that they were all dug out by the vaguely panicked hens and chickens in front of me.
"One by one, don't worry."
Chen Yu held his chin and thought for a while, vaguely remembering that there was realgar in the Taoist temple. He went back to the Taoist temple and rummaged around, but found nothing.
He had no choice but to choose other methods. One snake was driven away today, and there might be more tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
You have to avoid future troubles forever.
As his memory rolled around, Chen Yu focused on the insect repellent herbs and planned to go into the mountains to search for them at dawn tomorrow.
"Slobberweed... If it looks like this, it seems to be there on the cliff. There's also this one. I've seen it in the mountain stream."
There are still some things in the memory of his predecessor. Chen Yu found several kinds of soil that were said to be able to repel insects and snakes, and prepared to collect them one by one, grind them into powder, and transplant them, and arrange them for the Taoist temple.
After this experience, I had no intention of even practicing martial arts, so I sat in the courtyard and meditated on the mental exercises that I had just finished.
After combing through the whole situation and smoothing out two mistakes, I closed my eyes and focused my energy. Although it still dissipated quickly, it lasted a few breaths longer than before.
Chen Yu looked calm and there was no disappointment in his eyes.
"Just move forward little by little and take your time."
In comparison, the progress of the Soul-Calling Strengthening Technique is much faster. As early as April, he combined the external training method with it, greatly speeding up the external training. Although the effect of the spiritual fluid is limited now, the Strengthening Technique has
There are already some clues for further excavation and development.
…
The next day, it was bright and clear.
After offering incense to Mr. Daozu early and performing the Qi Collection Technique against Zhaoxia, Chen Yu walked toward the cliff with the basket on his back.
It was exactly where he picked mushrooms for the first time.
On the way, I recalled the descriptions and information about snake repellent herbs in my mind.
There are two key points among them: saliva grass and wild cassia.
The latter also has a popular name - Snake Miemen.
In comparison, the effect of Cassia is obviously better, but it is much harder to see than the former.
It mainly grows in the north of Guangyong, and is only scattered in Shiya area, so whether you can find it depends on luck.
Walking up the hillside, over the steep cliff, we came to the large sunken pit again. The dead wood at the bottom was still the same, with a layer of lush ferns growing there. A few mushrooms with yellow and red spots were attached to the trunk, and there were spiders spinning their webs.
, hanging in the quiet air waiting for prey to arrive.
Chen Yu walked around but couldn't find the saliva grass. Instead, he picked up a lot of Di Zhongguo, picked off the grass and soil, peeled off the skin and put it in his mouth. The juice was sweet.
Walking inside, you will find grass and fruits everywhere, colorful flowers and plants, and butterflies fluttering in pairs in front of your eyes.
"Here's a handful."
His outstanding eyesight allowed him to quickly spot something under the shade of a tree.
Pick it up, throw it into the basket, and move on.
The waterweed is low and slender, with a few knob-like fruits on the top. It looks a bit bumpy, but the effect is really good.
The Snake Miemen rarely grows in places that are not too deep and are too damp, so he plans to try his luck on the outside.
After searching on the lawn, it took about half an hour to find the first one.
The six-foot-tall trunk stands upright, with leaves hanging up and down like eggs, and bright yellow flowers hanging from the top. They have not yet bloomed, but there is a vague smell of freshness coming from it.
After careful identification, Chen Yu pinched off the petiole and found that it was definitely a snake. The smell from the purple glands inside could drive away most snakes.
In fact, Cassia can not only repel snakes, but also detoxify, stop swelling, and treat dysentery. It has many uses.
"continue."
On the mountain, a young man jumped off the stone platform with a bamboo basket on his back, landed on a black stone, and then bent down to pick a tall grass that had taken root in the soil.
Then he jumped up with bent legs, climbed up in three or five steps, and walked towards another place.
Maybe I was really lucky, and I started to gain a lot from finding the first snake to destroy the family.
It took Chen Yu less than two hours to find more than twenty plants. Many of them had been uprooted and were ready to be taken back and tried for transplantation.
In fact, it doesn't matter if the transplant doesn't survive. The branches and leaves can repel snakes, including ants and insects, and are equally effective.
After wandering through the mountains and forests for a while, he estimated that the herbs in the basket would be enough. He was about to return, but unexpectedly found a pair of footprints in a forest.
It's so big that it's stuck in the grass.
"Bear? Tiger?"
Judging from the size, it is true that only the physiques of these two can overlap.
Thinking of this, Chen Yu couldn't help but sigh with emotion, the mountain in front of him really has everything.
Last time, he met a gluttonous deer here and ruined one of his medicinal herbs. Now it is suspected that a large beast like a tiger or bear has appeared.
After all, it must be given the attention it deserves.
Even though the cliff here is some distance from the Taoist temple, and if you don’t take the mountain trail but walk through the forest behind it, you will have to take a long detour. But I can’t guarantee whether these guys will get in as recklessly as that stupid deer.
past.
"When we go back, we need to strengthen the chicken shed and add another layer to the medicine garden to prevent it from being washed away."
As for himself, Chen Yu is not too worried.
It is indeed difficult to subdue a tiger and slay a bear, but with Qinggong in hand, it will be no problem if you want to run away.
