Chapter 222 Symbiosis Small High-Energy Early Warning Be Careful
Mr. Shan stared at the plump bear paw that was half the size of a pangolin for a long time, reluctant to let go, and looked away pretending to be nonchalant. This thing is really a bit clingy. Summit 23S.

If you look too much, you might get into an accident. Do you really think Mr. Gungun has a good temper?
Not to mention a sixth-level exotic beast, it's just an ordinary beast. Can you try to move the prey on someone's lips with your finger?
Look? Not even a glance!
Looking at the shrinkage, who can bear this responsibility?
...
Shanye recovered much faster than Bai Qiongshou. Perhaps it was hunger that gave him the motivation to get up as soon as he turned over.
"Damn, in such a huge wilderness, I don't believe you can't find anything edible?"
Li Heigou and Shan Ye together, Shen Feng and Bald Head together, plus Lin Chou himself, the three groups divided into three directions and searched for food along the way.
When I came here, all I could think about was the mountain musk deer, but now I was so hungry and looking for food that I was dumbfounded.
The entire valley is covered with black stone ground. Except for some inedible shrubs and herbs in the gaps between the stones, not even a single wild vegetable or wild fruit can be seen.
Of course, even if there is such a thing, it is not within the scope of Shan Ye's consideration. Hunters are all pure carnivores.
If you don't eat meat for three days, there will be big problems.
Li Heigou said, "Master Shan, there are trees on the hillside over there. Let's go over there and take a look."
As the two walked along, except for the occasional bird flying in the sky, they rarely saw even an insect around the valley. Listening carefully, there was no sound of any animals at all.
Master Shan picked up a finger-long locust and watched the little thing struggling in his hand.
"Is this place where we are really wilderness?"
Li Heigou was also silent, something was wrong with this place.
Although there are many hunters in Mingguang Base City, wandering around in the wilderness all day long, it has only been a few decades since human beings recovered?
After the cataclysm, alien beasts, beasts and living corpses have been thriving in the wilderness for two hundred years. It is impossible to estimate how many there are.
In the wilderness, if you throw a stone casually, you can at least smash out a nest of rabbits and the like.
"Well? There is fruit on the tree."
There was a big tree growing on the raised mound, with lush branches and leaves swaying in the wind. Li Heigou took the lead to walk under the tree.
This is a fruit tree that I have never seen before. There are yellow fruits growing on it, about the size of two fists, in the shape of a lantern, with a smooth skin, and they look very delicious.
However, Huang Dashan pulled Li Heigou out from under the tree, who was about to pick the fruit.
"Look at the branches."
Li Heigou was wondering when he heard this and looked along Master Shan's finger.
"hiss!"
Li Heigou took a deep breath, and his dark red face turned pale.
There was a dense layer of small and twisted tentacles growing on the rugged gray bark, entwined with each other, hooking in the direction of the two of them as if they had eyes.
Looking at the trunk of the entire tree, it was all covered with these weird tentacles. Li Heigou couldn't help but sweat all over his body.
"What kind of ghost tree is this...what the hell is this?"
Shanye wiped the soil under the tree with his foot, and the upper layer of soil was kicked away. Under the thin layer of soil, there was no soil at all, but layers of white bones, some as thick as thighs and some as thin as fingers. It was broken into pieces and buried in gray-white ashes. It was unknown how long it had been buried at the foot of this strange tree.
Master Shan used two dry branches on the ground to clip a tentacle.
"It is indeed a leech. If my guess is correct, the fruits growing on this tree attract all kinds of animals to come here to look for food. Then these things swarm up, sucking the blood of the animals dry, and the bones are buried under the roots of the big tree.
Decay naturally becomes nutrients for growth... No wonder there are no animals here, no wonder there is such an amazingly tall tree on the Black Rock Mountain, such a vicious symbiosis."
The leech that was thrown on the stone immediately shrank into a ball, pointed its triangular mouthparts at the two of them, and still tried its best to crawl towards Shan Ye, but was trampled into mud by Huang Dashan.
"Master Shan, look over there!"
Turning around this mound is the back of the valley. The same big trees form a sea of green. The yellow fruits reflect each other's sparkling light, and there is an extremely attractive sweetness floating in the wind.
Li Heigou's stomach growled. Although he was still a little creepy, his stomach couldn't help but protest.
"Damn, it smells so good!"
Lin Chou walked around from behind the tree with a package made of leaves in his hand, "Well, you two, what are you studying for if you don't go looking for something to eat? Are you not hungry anymore?"
Master Shan pointed at the big tree, then pointed at the leech corpse on the stone, and said something like pouring beans through a bamboo tube.
"oh."
Lin Chou weighed the bag of leaves in his hand, "It's made from golden-threaded gray leeches, chicken-flavored, crunchy and crunchy."
Li Heigou saw that the leaves in Lin Chou's hand were squirming slightly, and he suddenly felt an ominous premonition.
"Lin, Boss Lin... In your bag..."
Lin Chou smiled furtively, "Dinner."
Li Heigou's face turned really pale this time, "No, this thing...Boss Lin, you..."
Master Shan squeezed the leaf bag in Lin Chou's hand,
"This is enough to feed the rabbits."
Lin Chou smiled and said, "Don't worry, this much is enough."
Li Heigou felt very uneasy, but Shanye kept his eyes on the package of things that Li Heigou couldn't even think of, and he was very interested in asking questions.
"Is this thing delicious?"
"When I first entered the wilderness, I was hungry and ate bean worms and green moths in the grass. They were sweet and had a unique taste."
"How to make this thing?"
"Is it fishy or not?"
Lin Chou was absent-minded, looking around. Suddenly his eyes lit up. He walked to the hillside and picked up a plant with small purple flowers.
"What's this?"
Lin Chou said,
"Ground pepper, also called mountain pepper or thyme, has a slightly pungent taste and a special aroma. As early as the Yuan Dynasty before the catastrophe, there were records of using this thing to cook humps. It is extremely delicious... There is also a very nice name, called thyme
.”
"The ancient Europeans before the Cataclysm believed that thyme symbolized courage. Only the knights who were about to go to war were worthy of this beautiful and unique plant. They wove thyme into garlands and gave them to the knights, symbolizing supreme courage and triumph.
The glory of the knight, well...some experts from the Mingguang Research Institute insist that what people gave the knight was not the thyme wreath, but the steak and mutton chops cooked with it."
"...."
Li Heigou thought, if Mr. Lin, you take that package of stuff away from my eyes, I might be a little interested in this thyme.
Just as he was talking, Lin Chou picked a bunch of something from the ground again. This time the two of them didn't ask. Lin Chou said to himself,
"Xuebicai, also called Purple Back. Although it looks weird and has red barbs, it is a good thing. It cools blood and dispels deficiency fire. It contains copper, iron, zinc and other trace elements, and the mineral content is also good.
, is most suitable for consumption after trauma and blood loss, and can greatly replenish blood and Qi deficiency. However, pregnant women should avoid eating it."
