The Interstellar’s Expert Plant Tamer - Chapter 45
Long Teng didn’t understand the driver’s exclamation at all, and showed a bright smile: “We are from Xingcheng.”
Bai Jiao chuckled lightly, and the driver rolled his eyes with a look of ‘you’re kidding me’.
Xie Sen ignored them, he summoned the watermelon vine, let the watermelon vine tie him up, and then slowly moved towards the door.
Although he was protected by watermelon vines, he couldn’t help but be nervous.
For the first time, he felt that he might be afraid of heights.
Long Teng reached out and grabbed his arm: “Don’t be afraid, I’ll go down all at once.”
Xie Sen smiled at him, took a deep breath, leaned back and stretched out his body first, stepped on the traction ladder, and slowly moved his hands to both sides of the ladder.
Long Teng let go, Xie Sen looked down at the ladder and slowly moved down. The traction ladder swayed because of his movements, he couldn’t help trembling, glanced down, and quickly retracted his gaze.
too frightening!
It’s just too torturous to go on like this! He instructed in his head: “Hold me and move down slowly next to the ladder.”
The watermelon vine pulled him a step out of the ladder. He felt the pulling force, released his hand, and left the ladder with his hands and feet almost at the same time.
The watermelon vine slowly moved down next to the ladder according to his instructions.
He kept his eyes on the tow ladder in front of him, in case of an accident, he could quickly grab the tow ladder.
After he got used to the speed, he let the watermelon vines speed up again, and soon fell to the ground.
Just as he landed, he was embraced by Maine from behind. He held on to Maine’s hand and breathed a sigh of relief. It was really uncomfortable to be hung by the vines.
This is not bad for him, moving down at a lower speed than free fall, just like a person hanging from a tree being slowly lowered by someone.
Before, Maine was instantly dragged down by the vines, and being pulled by the vines was definitely more uncomfortable.
He glanced at Maine worriedly, let the watermelon vines untangle from him, and reached out to zip up Maine’s shirt: “Did you get hurt just now? Let me see.”
Maine grabbed his wrist: “I’m fine, let them down first.”
Xie Sen glanced at him and ordered the watermelon vine to tie Bai Jiao.
The next moment, his communicator rang, and Bai Jiao said, “I want to go down in the same way as you. Climbing down takes too much physical strength. The situation in the forest is still uncertain, so save your physical strength first.”
Xie Sen felt very reasonable, agreed, and reminded: “Okay, I will slowly adjust the speed later, if you feel uncomfortable, you can tell me.”
The two kept in touch during Bai Jiao’s landing. Xie Sen directed the vines to change their speed, and Bai Jiao landed smoothly to the ground.
When Long Teng came down, he still used the vines. He kept asking to speed up all the way. Xie Sen simply let him fall freely to prevent injury, and only let the vines lift him to slow down when he was about to land.
After Long Teng landed, he jumped in front of Xie Sen with excitement: “It’s fun!”
Xie Sen asked, “Are there any strangulations?” He still couldn’t help but look at Maine worriedly, “Especially you, the speed was too fast at that time.”
Maine shook his head: “I’m fine.” Bai Jiao and Long Teng also said they were fine.
Maine opened the wristband and pointed to the map: “This is the highest place nearby, with only weak signal, and the rest of the place is likely to have no signal at all.” He paid the final payment to the driver and marked the location at the same time.
He looked at his teammates with a serious expression: “Let’s go together, we must not be separated.”
Xie Sen nodded seriously.
Maine asked Xie Sen: “Which side?”
Xie Sen called Adan, Adan sensed for a moment, and said excitedly: “It’s not far from us, in the northeast.”
Xie Sen said: “Northeast.”
Maine called up the map, drew along the northeast side of the map, and looked at the cliff in the northeast: “Is it under the cliff?”
Adan said in Xie Sen’s mind: “Within ten kilometers.”
Xie Sen conveyed his words, and Maine thought for a moment: “Let’s see if we can go down from the edge of the cliff.”
A few people walked to the cliff, the cliff was almost vertical, and there were many raised stones on the surface, making it impossible to go down.
Opposite the cliff is the other half of the mountain, like a complete mountain suddenly split from the middle, forming a canyon in the middle.
There was white fog floating over the canyon, and the situation below could not be seen clearly, only the chilling bird calls and the fierce roars of beasts could be heard.
Bai Jiao said: “It seems that there is a fight below.”
Main nodded and looked around: “It’s too quiet up there. We have landed so far, and apart from the black bird, we haven’t encountered any large beasts.”
“It must be down there!” Long Teng said excitedly.
Xie Sen couldn’t help worrying: “Beasts have their own chassis, and it’s not right to get together.”
Main said: “Maybe it has something to do with the mutation,” he said, turning on his wristband. “The map detected by the detector shows that the terrain on both sides of us is gradually lowering. Let’s go east first, and then go north at a low position. .”
Maine determined the route and led the way forward. Xie Sen and Bai Jiao walked in the middle, and Long Teng took the back.
After walking for a long time, Bai Jiao suddenly exclaimed happily: “Wait a minute!”
He said, ran to the woods on the right, squatted down, took out a shovel from his backpack and shoveled a plant, and walked back to its original place with its eyes glowing.
Long Teng approached his head curiously: “What is this? Is it something to eat?”
Xie Sen looked at the spherical red fruit of the plant and hesitated: “This is… Panax notoginseng?”
Bai Jiao looked at him in surprise: “I have seen the drawing of Panax notoginseng in ancient herbal medicines, how did you know?”
Xie Sen said with a smile: “I also forgot where I saw it, but I feel a little familiar, maybe I accidentally saw it when I was reading the courseware!”
Bai Jiao thought that he was a botany student, and suddenly said, “That’s right,” he carefully put Panax notoginseng into his backpack, “It’s really great, I hope to encounter other herbs.”
Several people continued to walk forward, and Baijiao collected several kinds of herbs in the middle, and the flowers or fruits of the herbs were all red.
Xie Sen suddenly thought of Adan’s words, red energy corresponds to red plants, are these herbs related to red energy?
After walking smoothly for more than an hour, Long Teng couldn’t help but said, “Isn’t it very dangerous? Why can’t you see anything but little bugs?”
He just finished speaking when Maine suddenly stopped, turned on the audio and video data returned by the detector, and turned the sound to the maximum.
The sound of heavy footsteps came from far to near, even if you just listened to it, you seemed to feel the shaking of the ground. A huge figure flashed across the screen, and the footsteps drifted away.
Main said: “It’s a giant tiger beast.”
Longteng’s eyes glowed: “There are really high-level contract beasts, I don’t know if there are flying dragon beasts!”
Bai Jiao frowned: “There is no other movement, not hunting nor avoiding danger, this kind of speed is very wrong.”
Xie Sen stared at the screen: “It ran towards the canyon, there might be something there.”
Main nodded: “Let’s keep going.”
The four of them walked along the edge of the cliff for more than an hour, but still did not reach the lowest point, but the terrain was much lower, and the calls of the beasts became clearer.
They stopped for lunch.
Long Teng ran to the edge of the cliff and looked down, and after a while he said loudly, “I saw a big bird!”
The next moment, a large dark gray bird flew up from below, screamed, and attacked Longteng, who quickly jumped two steps to the side to avoid it.
The big bird passed him, and because of inertia, it flew straight towards the three of Xie Sen who were cleaning the lunch venue.
Maine’s eyes were cold, and he picked up a wooden stick and slammed it on it.
Xie Sen was startled and looked at it warily.
Long Teng ran to them and pointed at the big bird: “It was the one who made the move first!”
Bai Jiao frowned: “This kind of bird generally doesn’t take the initiative to attack humans. Its eyes are not the right color. Normally, they should be light gray.”
Xie Sen stared at the bird’s eyes: “The gray is now reddish.”
Just as he was talking, Big Bird suddenly swooped down towards Maine and Long Teng.
The two quickly took out their weapons from their backpacks, and at the moment when it approached, they shot at the same time, attacking the wings and neck respectively. The blade of the blade drew silver white light in the air, bringing out red blood.
“Jie!!!” The big bird screamed in pain, flapped its wings violently, forcing the two to retreat, took the opportunity to fly into the air, circled the sky a few times, and flew away unwillingly.
Long Teng pointed to the sky and ran after him: “If you have the ability, don’t run!”
Xie Sen gave him a funny look and took out the watermelon: “Come and eat watermelon.”
Barbecue takes too long, and I just eat watermelon to quench my thirst.
Long Teng’s footsteps stopped suddenly, and he ran to Xie Sen’s side like a gust of wind, looking at the watermelon with glowing eyes: “Is the flesh of the melon better than the skin?”
“Of course.” Xie Sen said.
Long Teng swallowed his saliva: “I can’t imagine it.” He picked up the round watermelon and opened his mouth to bite.
Maine grabbed his back collar and said coldly, “Put it down.”
Xie Sen hurriedly took the watermelon, took out the prepared fruit knife, and divided the watermelon into four portions, one for each person: “Only these, there will be no more after eating.”
Maine let go of Long Teng, Long Teng hurriedly picked up his share, leaned in and smelled it, his face glowed: “It’s so fragrant!” He took a bite, his eyes suddenly widened, emitting a very bright light.
He didn’t say anything, and continued to eat in big gulps, with bulging cheeks, matched with his baby face, like a little squirrel.
Bai Jiao eats watermelon much faster than usual, and only said at the beginning, “It’s delicious.”
Xie Sen looked at the two energy 1 prompts, and the corners of his mouth twitched. It seems that watermelon is really welcome!
Maine sat down next to Xie Sen, ate the watermelon quickly, and said to Xie Sen, “You sleep with me, and I’ll call you when the meat is roasted.”
Xie Sen was not pretentious. He knew that if he didn’t rest well, he would cause more trouble, so he simply rested against Maine’s back.
After Long Teng finished eating the watermelon, his eyes were bright and ready to talk to Xie Sen, but when he met Maine’s warning eyes, he looked at Xie Sen with his eyes closed, covered his mouth, and blinked.
Maine looked away when he saw that he was interested.
Half an hour later, Maine woke Xie Sen, and several people finished the barbecue and prepared to continue their journey.
Maine squatted in front of Xie Sen: “You sleep for another half an hour, and you don’t know when you can rest after that.”
Xie Sen hesitated for a while, but still hugged his neck, climbed onto his back and let him carry it, whispering: “Thank you, if you have anything, remember to call me.”
His breath rushed to the side of Maine’s neck, Maine’s body froze for a moment, and quickly returned to nature: “Okay.”
Long Teng couldn’t help but ask, “Is Asen feeling unwell?”
“He needs to rest a lot,” Maine said.
Suddenly, Long Teng raised a bright smile and showed his bright white teeth: “If you are tired, I can carry him too, I am not tired!”
Maine said flatly: “No.”
It was not until an hour later that Maine woke Xie Sen. Xie Sen got off him and looked around. The current situation was already low: “Are you there yet?”
Maine looked solemn, and opened the data sent back by the detector not long ago.
Xie Sen looked over and saw that the screen was full of various birds and beasts, they were all in a ball, and the corpses of countless beasts were lying on the ground, and the surface was almost covered with blood.
He was stunned. He stared at the screen for a while, and realized that it didn’t seem to be a melee. He lit the screen: “How do you feel like they’re preventing them from entering?”
The beasts are divided into two parts, one is trying to move forward, and the other is preventing them from moving forward.
Bai Jiao said, “I think so too.”
Main pointed to the area on the screen where the beasts were fighting: “This is the entrance to the canyon. If we go in, we have to pass here.”
Xie Sen’s scalp was numb: “It’s too dangerous.”
Even Long Teng, who was always excited when he heard the fight, couldn’t help but said, “We will definitely be eaten by them!”
Bai Jiao analyzed: “The distance is too far to have no sympathetic response, and I can’t be sure if they are all contracted beasts, but there are a few I can be sure of, and they are all above the B rank. The giant tiger beasts I saw before are also there, and they are all Preventing another part of the beast from entering.”
Maine was puzzled: “The contracted beast and the beast have always gotten along harmoniously, so why would they fight?”
Bai Jiao shook his head, also puzzled.
Long Teng touched the back of his head: “Is there any treasure in it, they are afraid of being robbed?”
