MTL - Orc Empire [Future Beast World]-Chapter 22 sea in the jungle
With Galen's unremitting efforts, Arlo finally agreed to Gallen's request to plant some non-dangerous exotic plants in the space.
At the beginning, Arlo was worried that the plants would attack Gallon like when he met the mint plants for the first time, but gradually, he realized that those so-called attacks were meant to show favor, and those plants were not at all Doesn't attack gals.
Yalo thought that the result of the affinity test for Gallon - perfect affinity, may have a lot to do with this.
However, Gallon got his wish to grow xenoplants anyway.
At the very beginning, Gallen specially opened up a piece of land to grow heterophytes. When choosing a location, he struggled a bit, not to be too close to the place where he planted medicinal materials, otherwise, who knows if those ordinary plants will be planted The medicinal materials have also been mutated, but they can't be too far apart. If they are too far away, it will be inconvenient to guard.
The last place I chose was a field by the river. Fortunately, the medicinal plants planted in the space can ignore the growth environment and seasons. As long as they are planted, they will grow on their own.
When the gallons first started to grow different plants, they were planted according to the planting density of ordinary medicinal plants, and it turned out that they still had a sense of territory. If they were planted too closely, a 'war' would break out between these different plants. From the front of the yard, crackling sounds, slapping and whipping sounds can be heard from behind. Some of the mutant plants grow vines, which can be used to attack.
In the end, it was Arlo who figured out a way to throw the little kelp behind to guard those exotic plants. The little kelp was very satisfied with this task and stayed behind all day, faithfully completing his task.
The little kelp whose status has been upgraded from a "pet" to a "warrant" no longer pesters the gallon every day, which makes Yaluo feel a little relieved.
Now, the two have a fixed routine of life, sitting in the mecha in the morning, looking at the exotic plants in the jungle in mid-air, and writing down the suitable ones, and entering the jungle at noon every day to pull out the alien plants. It's 'pull it up', it won't even hurt, of course, only gal can do this job, and Aaron tried to help gal, but as soon as yalo gets close to those xenografts, those xenoplants It will launch an attack, and every time the alien plant in hand is "scarred", basically it can be regarded as dying.
After coming down several times, without exception, Gallon resolutely refused Yalo's help.
After transplanting the different plants, Galen began to study their medicinal properties, picked off some of the branches and leaves of the different plants, and then treated them, and then used the animals in the space to test the medicine. For a long time, Yaluo Look for some sick or injured animals in the space, but it's not easy to find them.
The results obtained are also gratifying, those xenografts can be used as medicine.
However, there is one thing that is very tangled for Gallon. Every time he goes to pick herbs, those different plants will expose the parts that Gallon needs, which is convenient for Gallon to pick. However, it is such a "humanized" action that makes Gallon change every time he starts It was very difficult, and every time I felt as if I was a heinous person.
After a long time, Jia Lun found that as long as he didn't damage the roots and trunk of the medicinal plants, they could recover by themselves. When he stayed with the different plants, their recovery speed would be accelerated.
Since the flow of time in the space is faster than that of the outside world, usually after finishing the work, the two of them will drive the mecha again in the jungle to find powerful alien beasts, enter the space again at night, and repeat this process the next morning. After a period of time, Gallon has harvested a lot of exotic medicinal materials, but he still hasn't found the exotic beast that Arlo is looking for.
On this day, when it was just dawn outside, the two of them came out of the space. Facing the rising sun in the morning, Galen stretched greatly.
"Otherwise, we won't be looking for alien plants today, right?" Galen said to Arlo. He knew that Arlo was very concerned about finding alien beasts, but alien beasts can be seen everywhere like alien plants, and they also It is even more difficult to find a strange beast whose crystal core energy matches the orc's own ability. Anyway, the exotic medicinal materials planted in the space are enough to treat West Asia, so now they are looking for medicinal materials Things can slow down.
"Yeah." Yalo didn't reject Galen's kindness. Now that there are enough medicinal plants for his mother and father, Yalo's first thought is to go back quickly. However, the matter of the crystal nucleus has not been progressed yet, so the two The time for people to go back can only be pushed back.
It was approaching noon, and the two still had no clue. Galen rubbed the corners of his eyes tiredly.
My eyes are tired from staring outside for so long.
"Do you want to take a break?" Arlo asked after seeing Galen's movements. For the orcs, this kind of thing will not make them feel tired at all, but for the sub-orcs, it may not be so. "It's almost time for lunch now."
Gallon opened his eyes, "It's okay, just wait a little longer." After that, Gallon turned his gaze to the screen again.
Gallon suddenly sees a flash of light on one of the screens.
"Stop!" Galen quickly stopped.
Yaluo stopped the mecha reflexively, and just let the mecha stop in mid-air.
"Go back, slow down." Galen stared at the screen, did not see what he saw just now, thinking that the mech was moving just now, maybe the one was stationary just now, "Back slowly according to the route just now."
Arlo thought that Galen might have discovered some details that he hadn't noticed, obeyed Galen's words, and controlled the mecha to move back slowly.
Gallon stared at the screen until he saw a semicircular object glowing with light.
"stop."
Yalo looked towards the screen that Galen was looking at, and there was nothing special on it except the jungle.
"Is there something there?" Arlo asked.
Galen looked at Arlo in surprise, "Didn't you see that??"
Arlo shook his head.
Galen leaned in front of the screen, gesturing on it with his hand, "Here, there is a semi-circular transparent barrier covering this place." Galen turned to look at Arlo, "Can you see it?"
Alo shook his head again.
Galen was sure now that only he could see this thing.
"Let's go here and see if we can find anything." Something was driving him here in Gallon.
Although Yaluo couldn't see what Galen said, but when he thought of Gallen's specialness, he was relieved. Maybe this was Gallen's special ability.
Next, the mecha turned around and flew in the direction pointed by Gallon.
As the mech got closer and closer to that direction, Galen clearly felt the throbbing in his heart became more and more obvious, and Arlo also felt the pressure on him from the front.
Yaluo gritted his teeth, and simply opened the mech's flying speed to the maximum, breaking through the transparent barrier at once, and the pressure disappeared.
After breaking through the barrier and entering, the two found that the scenery they saw now was completely different from what they saw outside just now.
"This is the safe zone." Suspended in mid-air, looking down from the air, Yalo said.
Below the mecha is a sandy beach, but it’s not very wide. There seems to be a lake in the center of the entire safety zone. There is a circle of sand around the lake. There are some plants on the edge of the sand. Most of the plants don’t grow very well. Tall, but there are also some very tall ones.
Since it was a safe zone, Yaluo safely controlled the mech to land on the beach.
Opening the hatch of the mecha, a salty and damp smell rushed over. Although there was no air circulation around, there was still wind blowing.
"It's the sea!" Although it looks like a lake, it is indeed sea water. It may be like the Dead Sea, but there are creatures around it.
Gallon jumped off the mecha, which was much better than the sea he saw in Lanyaoxing. Although Lanyaoxing has a vast ocean, there is no beach at all. There are high protective walls around the land, covering the sea separated from the land.
Yalo has seen similar scenes on some planets, so it's not like Galen is so excited.
"Let's eat seafood tonight." Galen took off his shoes and stepped on the sand with bare feet, announcing happily.
Since Yalo said that this is a safe zone, there should be no danger.
seafood?
Hearing this word for the first time, Yalo didn't know what it was to eat, but it didn't hinder Yalo's expectation. The food made by Galen has never disappointed him.
What's more, now this is a secret that belongs to him and Galen.
Next, Galen took out two buckets from the space, and two small shovels that he usually used when digging medicinal materials, and asked Yalo to dig crabs with him on the beach. The most common thing on the beach by the sea is the tide Crab, this kind of crab is not only delicious, but also has great medical value.
However, if you eat fiddler crabs improperly, it will cause poisoning. The stomach, intestines, gills and other parts of fiddler crabs must be removed.
Maybe it's because no one has ever been here before. The fiddler crabs here are very big, and there are a lot of them. At the beginning, Gallon stepped on them with bare feet. After a while, he hurriedly put on his shoes. Come on, getting caught in the crab's claws is no fun.
Galen has also picked up crabs by the sea before, so he is very familiar with it. Galen wanted to remind Yalo how to pick it up, but when he looked up, he saw that there was no trace of where Yalo was caught by the fiddler crab. No, silently swallowed his words.
The structure of the orc is beyond his comprehension.
After a while, the two picked up two buckets of fiddler crabs, and they were all big.
Afterwards, Galen and Yaluo carried two buckets of fiddler crabs into the space, poured some water into them, and added a little salt to them. Now that there is no white wine, they can only let them sit still and let the crabs spit sand slowly. Clean again.
Gallon knows that the water in the space has a very magical effect, and he also holds the idea that maybe the crabs will be cleaner by soaking in the water in the space.
With the prep work done, the two ate something casually before heading back to the beach again.
Galen always felt that this place gave him a very strange feeling, but he couldn't tell what it was like, so he could only take Arlo to look around slowly on the beach.
The two wandered around for a long time, but there was still nothing to gain. Arlo simply turned into a beast shape, let Gallon ride on his back, and led Gallon to quickly turn around the beach, but still did not find anything strange.
"It shouldn't be~" Galen touched his chin, glanced around, and finally cast his gaze into the sea, "Could it be in there?"
Arlo followed Galen's gaze, "Would you like to see it?" Arlo asked.
Gallon remembered that when he was in Lan Yaoxing, the mecha driven by Yaluo could move in the sea, and he nodded immediately.
Arlo took it out, and after the two sat on it, the mecha slowly walked into the sea until the figure disappeared into the sea.
The place where he dived just now is very shallow, but there are many fish living here. Looking at these fish, Galen feels that his saliva is about to flow down. Why didn't he think of catching sea fish to roast just now.
As the mech's diving depth continues to increase, the surrounding creatures become less and less and darker.
Knowing that there is no light at all behind, but there are also some "glowing" creatures in the deep sea, Yaluo turned on the lights installed on the "eyes" of the mecha, so that he can capture them A picture of the surrounding environment.
The mech's pressure-bearing capacity in the sea is limited, and it can reach a maximum of about 3,000 meters in the sea.
"I can't dive anymore." Arlo stopped the mech when it reached the pressure limit of the mecha, "It will be dangerous if you go any further."
During the distance they dived, they found nothing special. Except for the sea water, there were deep-sea creatures around them.
Gallon's eyes showed disappointment.
"Can you circle here at this depth?" Just now they circled the beach outside, and it didn't take much time. "Maybe it's somewhere we didn't notice."
Yaluo looked at the remaining amount of the energy tank, and started to replace it with a new energy box.
"We have to return before the energy of the next energy box is exhausted."
"Well, no problem!" Galen himself is not a person who is very attached to everything, he will want to search here, but he just feels that there seems to be something particularly important to him here.
At the beginning, like at the beginning, there was nothing worth noting, but at this moment, an accident happened.
"Beep, beep!" The mecha started to sound an alarm, and at the same time, the whole mecha seemed to be trapped in the vortex of the sea, completely out of control.
"Get into the space quickly, Galen!" Arlo yelled at Galen, but at this time, Gallon could not open the space.
"No!" Galen also started to worry, they wouldn't just die here, right? Why can't the space be opened at this time? !
At this time, the shell of the mecha also began to make a creaking sound.
Galen tightly clutched Yalo's clothes next to him, full of regret in his heart, if he and Yalo had gone back just now, this situation would not have happened.
Yaluo simply gave up the control of the already uncontrollable mecha, turned into a beast shape, filled the entire space, and tightly protected the gallon in the middle.
We can only hope for the last layer of protection in the mecha cockpit.
With the sharp rotation, the mech has completely disintegrated, leaving only the last layer of protective compartments. During the continuous rotation, the two gradually lost consciousness...
