Chapter 53
I remember that when was on a mission with supernatural powers in previous life, Jiang Rong heard the supernatural beings discussing their dreams.One of them said that he hoped to wake up on a bed covered with crystal nuclei.At that time, the abilities next to him were laughing at him, thinking that he was whimsical.
What a precious thing the crystal nucleus is. After each supernatural person gets the crystal nucleus, he either absorbs it quickly to avoid being coveted by others, or wants to use it in exchange for greater benefits.Not to mention the crystal nuclei covering the bed, even if there were a dozen crystal nuclei, that person would be considered a rich man among supernatural beings.
And Xiao Guaiguai actually made a nest out of crystal nuclei, and its nest was hidden in the solar panels in the southwest corner of the roof of Jiang Rong's house.As long as you climb up the folding stairs, you can see countless shining crystal nuclei scattered on the roof.
While Jiang Rong and the others were working hard for the crystal nucleus, Xiao Guaiguai had already achieved the freedom of the crystal nucleus.Looking at the countless crystal nuclei on the roof, Jiang Rong had a complex expression and didn't know what to say.
Xiaoguai twisted the vine, if it had eyes, Jiang Rong and the others would definitely be able to see a pair of big, shining eyes.Jiang Rong understood what it meant, it wanted to hear its own praise.
When it comes to complimenting family members, Jiang Rong has always been generous.Usually, even if Le Le gave him a slipper, he would pet Le Le for a long time.
Feeling that Jiang Rong was about to touch her, Xiaoguai happily stretched out the vine.The spikes on the vines lay down obediently, as long as Jiang Rong didn't push against it, it would never hurt his hands.
Jiang Rong picked up the crimson vine, and gently stroked the smooth skin between the spikes with his slender fingers: "Thank you, darling, you are really amazing."
Xiao Guaiguai felt comfortable physically and mentally, the vines trembled like an electric shock, and her voice became louder: "Be obedient!"
When stroking Xiaoguai, Jiang Rong's fingers kept oozing blue power.The ability was quickly absorbed by the bloodthirsty vine, and the little boy was so happy that he almost drifted away: "Jiang Gong~"
Hearing Xiao Guaiguai calling him that, Jiang Rong responded with a smile: "Huh?"
Xiao Guaiai stretched out a thin vine to wrap around Jiang Rong's little finger, and it whispered, "I like it~"
When she first saw Jiang Rong, Xiaoguaiguai didn't take this person seriously.In its view, all those who can run and move have only one end, and that is to become its food.After being severely repaired by Jiang Rong, Xiao Guaiguai was actually very afraid of him for a period of time.As long as Jiang Rong's voice was a little louder, Xiao Guaiguai would tremble uncontrollably.
But the more he gets along with Jiang Rong, the more Xiaoguai likes him.In addition to the strength he exudes that makes him feel comfortable, it also likes to see Jiang Rong's face and hear his voice.Besides cartoons and little fairies, Xiao Guaiguai's favorite person now is Jiang Rong!
Jiang Rong's body stopped suddenly, and the eyes he looked at Xiao Guaiguai softened a lot.In fact, Xiaoguaiguai is just a mutated plant that is ignorant of the world. Foraging is its instinct. As long as it can be guided correctly, it will be more obedient and obedient than humans.Jiang Rong slowed down her voice: "I like you too, little boy, you are my treasure just like the little fairy."
Hearing his master praise him so much, Xiaoguai let out a long exclamation: "Wow~" It happily rolled into a ball all over the yard: "I like it! I like it!"
The little fairy on one side turned her body and opened a few flowers, stretching them out in front of Jiang Rong: "Jiang Gong ~jiujiu~"
Guan Shao leaned against the wall with his chest in his arms, looked at Jiang Rong who had been smeared with pollen all over his face, smiled and said, "That's great, not only everyone loves Jiang Gong, but even the flowers and plants love Jiang Gong."
Jiang Rong didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Shut up, help lift the crystal nucleus."
Jiang Rong was not a greedy person, he didn't rely on being the owner of the little boy to force it to take out the spar from its nest.How many crystal nuclei Xiaoguaiguai gives him is its will, and he will not go further.
Outside the window, Xiao Guaiguai grabbed the little mouse and showed it to the little fairy and the two children as if offering a treasure. Inside the room, Jiang Rong looked at the crystal nuclei on the table and fell silent.
Before today, Jiang Rong had always assumed that Xiao Guaiguai was also one of the mutant plants that relied on the crystal nucleus to advance. Now it seems that he took it for granted.
When Guan Shao entered the door, he saw Jiang Rong holding a crystal nucleus in thought, he said slowly, "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"
Jiang Rong said slowly: "I always thought that mutated animals and plants could rely on the crystal nucleus to advance, and even thought that the crystal nucleus was the most important help for them to advance. It seems that this is not the case now. Apart from the crystal nucleus, the mutatedAnimals and plants should have other ways to gain power."
Guan Shao smiled: "Isn't this normal? In my opinion, mutated animals and plants just have some more defense and attack methods on the basis of the previous ones, and the essence has not changed. For example, we supernatural beings, we still eat when we are hungry.Eat. Crystal nuclei can only increase abilities, but they cannot fill our stomachs."
The reason why Xiaoguaiguai grows so fast is because it absorbs enough flesh and blood.Flesh is equivalent to the fertilizer of bloodthirsty vines, and only the little boy can grow vigorously.
Jiang Rong nodded in agreement: "You are right. Take the little fairy as an example. She has grown so big and her abilities have become so powerful, but she has never absorbed a crystal nucleus."
I remember that after the big crisis, the little fairy grew up thousands of times in just a few days. At that time, most animals and plants had not yet had crystal nuclei, and the little fairy couldn't get the crystal nucleus.Now it seems that it is the same as before, just using its leaf skin and root system to absorb nutrients from nature.
Other mutated animals became stronger, and it was not seen how many crystal nuclei they absorbed.In contrast, the degree and speed of human mutation are far inferior to other species, and if they want to survive, they can only huddle together to keep warm.
Jiang Rong took a deep breath and got up and carefully put away the crystal nucleus: "Anyway, this is a good thing for us." If all mutant animals and plants can only rely on the crystal nucleus to advance, there will be chaos sooner or later.
Jiang Rong and Guan Shao didn't intend to tell anyone about Xiaoguaiguai's ability to collect crystal nuclei.There are so many crystal nuclei scattered on the roof of his house. If someone with malicious intentions finds out, he does not know what crazy things will be done.
After finding the grain storage tank, Jiang Rong was determined. Next, he would focus on the construction of the warehouse.
Although Chu Qiang has already led people to build a warehouse, the warehouse under construction can only be used to store some less important materials, such as furniture and other daily necessities. These materials are collected by the supernatural beings from nearby townsYes, when newcomers come to the base, the warehouse will be opened to distribute some basic supplies.
This leads to poor security and confidentiality of the warehouse, and the things used by the base to save lives cannot be placed here.
Jiang Rong needs to build a large warehouse, which can accommodate thousands of military vehicles and the things the base depends on for survival.
After discussion among team members, the warehouse was chosen in a remote mountain depression in the northwest of Yuye San Village.The col is surrounded by mountains, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, there is only one way to enter and exit, so the concealment is excellent.
Originally, there was a village in the col, and there were more than a dozen survivors in the village.Jiang Rong was planning to install solar panels for these households, but during the routine investigation before the installation, he was attacked by a mutated snake.Thanks to Xiao Guaiguai, he was able to escape unscathed.After learning about this, the people in the village no longer dared to stay where they were, and they collectively moved to the fishery brigade.
From the map, this village is not very big, but as long as the terrain can be fully utilized, a very good warehouse can be built.
After setting the address, the ability team started to act.They recruited more than 20 students majoring in civil engineering and design from the rescued college students to form a temporary surveying and mapping team.
Although these are students, they know more professional knowledge than laymen.With them here, believe the design drawings of the warehouse will come out soon.
But before the students went to survey and map, Jiang Rong and the others still had important things to do. They had to beat the mutant snake that would ambush people first.
In late August, the mountains and forests were suffocating.Even though Jiang Rong was a wood-type supernatural being, his clothes were still wet with sweat.He took out the water bottle and greeted Guan Shao: "Take a break and drink some water? We have searched here several times, maybe the snake has already left."
Guan Shao waved his hands and knelt down to look carefully at the soil on the hillside: "It should still be there. Look at this mark, it just slipped out."
Jiang Rong leaned forward to take a look, and saw a long friction mark on the dry gray-black soil in front of Guan Shao, sliding towards the ravine ahead.His eyes were fixed: "Little boy, come on."
Hearing the master's call, the little boy immediately gathered the vines and came over. Jiang Rong pointed to the marks on the ground: "See if you can catch this snake."
Little Guaiguai rolled along the direction of the trace without saying a word, and the spikes on the vines made a rustling sound with the dead leaves in the forest.Guan Shao glanced at the red vines that were going away and said with a smile: "Did you see it? Xiaoguai is holding back his anger."
After a period of observation, Guan Shao has figured out the emotions represented by the actions of Xiao Guaiguai.It proves to be in a good mood when it hangs lazily with its bare vines.When it huddles into a ball and does not move, it proves that it is afraid.Prove excitement as you roll like a ball and swing your vines.And like now, it is balled up in the middle, and it is running fast against the vines on both sides, which proves that it is walking on the road to a dry fight.
Jiang Rong chuckled: "I see. It is angry because it let the mutated snake escape last time."
The little boy was extremely fast, and he slid into the ravine in a short while. After pausing for a moment in the ditch, he rolled towards the northeast.
Jiang Rong screwed on the lid of the kettle: "Come on, let's follow."
Just as Jiang Rong and the others descended into the ravine, there was a low roar of a ferocious beast suddenly: "Roarβ" From the analysis of the tone and volume, it should be the roar of a tiger!There are tigers on the mountain?
The direction from which the roar of the tiger came was the direction in which Xiao Guaiguai was heading. Could it be that Xiaoguaiguai and the mutant tiger collided together?
The two ran quickly along the ravine, and Jiang Rong sighed: "D City Zoo has come down with a lot of things." There were mutant wolves before, and now there are tigers. Will we be able to find other magical animals after a while??
Guan Shao's eyes were dark: "No matter what it is, as long as it is harmful to the base, it should be wiped out in time."
After walking a few hundred meters forward, a shallow pit with a diameter of more than fifty meters appeared in front of him.This is a naturally formed pond. Days of drought has made the pond dry and cracked without a drop of water, and thick fallen leaves have accumulated on it.
Before they got close to the pond, Jiang Rong and the others saw countless dead leaves flying up.A huge snake in the dead leaves is raising its head and flicking its tail wildly. This snake's head is as big as a stone mill, and its orange eyes are full of coldness.Its whole body is covered with brown-yellow markings, and its huge body occupies most of the pond.
From the appearance point of view, this is a mutated boa snake.Boa snakes are tropical animals that like to grow in hot and humid environments.
The area around Lingshan Reservoir is abundant in water, which attracts anacondas and snakes.But the water was polluted by the black rain, so it could only find shade in the mountains.Although the pond it was looking for was out of water, the thick silt was still rich in water.
It is for this reason that the anaconda snake occupies the pond and uses it as its nest.
Compared with the anaconda snake, the other mutated tiger was extremely small.It is three meters long, covered with black and yellow markings all over its body, and the word "Wang" on its forehead is extremely clear.
Although the tiger is not as big as the boa snake, it is much more flexible than the boa snake.
Three terrifying mutant beasts each occupied a corner of the pond and confronted each other, and the battle was imminent.
Just as Jiang Rong was about to step forward, Guan Shao stopped him: "Don't go there, it's too dangerous." This was a scuffle between giants, and Jiang Rong's rushing in would not only fail to help Xiaoguai, but would only cause him more wounds.
The two squatted behind the rocks and looked with their heads out. Just as Jiang Rong stretched out his head, he saw a huge tail slapping towards his face.Before it was too late, Guan Shao pulled Jiang Rong over and used his body to protect Jiang Rong's head.
The snake tail roared past Guan Shao's head, and landed heavily on the stone in front of the two of them.After a loud crack, a long crack appeared on the stone, and the flying gravel fell on Guan Shao's back.
It stands to reason that Jiang Rong and Rong's goal is small, and the anaconda shouldn't notice them.But its attention was on Jiang Rong, seeing that the blow failed to hit him, it raised its tail high and swept towards him.
Guan Shao's eyes were fixed: "Not good!"
At this moment, a bright yellow figure galloped in the direction of the snake's tail, and the colorful giant tiger bit the snake's tail and stood on the boulder.
From a distance, the tiger is not very big.But when it stood on the stone, the oppressive force of the king of beasts came out.It has a healthy body and shiny hair, and every stripe on its body shows its arrogance.
The tiger glanced sideways at the two of them, which made them feel absurd: the tiger knew them.
The battle of the giant beasts was on the verge of breaking out, and they fought in a ball in the pond.Because the speed was too fast, Jiang Rong could only see red, yellow and brown running around in the pond.
Guan Shao looked at the boa snake calmly, silently touched the long sniper behind him and set it on the boulder.After observing for a while, Guan Shao discovered something: Xiaoguaiguai was fighting with the tiger.
The two of them are working together to attack the boa snake.
Could it be that when facing a strong enemy, the two slightly weaker ones are ready to join forces?Wait until the anaconda is solved before competing?
After thinking for a moment, Guan Shao stopped, perhaps he shouldn't have intervened in this battle.
This was the fiercest fight Jiang Rong had ever seen in his life. The three creatures were so fast that it was dazzling when they fought, and his eyes couldn't keep up with their speed.
The body of the boa snake is covered with hard scales, and the sharp spines of the little boy can't be pried off at all.The spikes and scales rubbed against each other to make an ear-piercing sound, Xiao Guaiguai shook the vine angrily, and could only watch helplessly as the boa snake slid out.
Xiao Guaiguai was originally holding the head of the snake, but as the snake slid out, the place it could hold went down and down, and finally hung on the tail of the snake.The boa snake slapped the little boy with its tail, and the bloodthirsty vine flew out with an "ow".
Jiang Rong and the two could only watch Xiaoguaiguai fly over their heads, the red vines formed a ball and flew behind them, then rolled away along the ravine.
Seeing the little boy was sent flying by the mutated snake's tail, Lao Hu raised his head and let out a long roar.It lowered its figure and rushed towards the direction of the boa snake.The boa snake was not afraid at all, it opened its mouth to face the tiger.
The tiger jumped up after a few flashes, and when it fell again, it landed on the boa snake's neck accurately.The long and sharp claws hooked the edge of the scales and exerted force suddenly. Several brownish yellow scales on the neck of the mutated snake were forcibly pulled out and fell into the mud pit.
The anaconda shook its head angrily in pain and wanted to throw the tiger off. The tiger's sharp claws clasped its neck tightly. After the tiger's paws were pulled a few times quickly, the scales on the snake's neck fell like snowflakes.
Seeing that the tiger could not be shaken off, the boa snake rolled over on the ground, trying to crush the tiger to death with its own weight.But how can a boa snake compare its speed with a tiger?Before the snake turned over completely, the tiger, who found something wrong, had jumped away quickly.
Then the tiger jumped up several times, each time it landed on the neck of the boa snake.After scratching, a wound the size of a basin appeared on the snake's neck, and a trace of blood oozed from the wound.
It may be that continuous jumping is very exhausting, or it may be that the anaconda rolls so hard that it is difficult to find the right timing.After several jumps, the tiger's speed slowed down significantly.The last time it tried to land on the anaconda snake, the anaconda snake predicted its action in advance.
The tiger couldn't dodge in time, and most of its front legs fell into the snake's mouth.As the mouth of the snake closed, bright red tiger blood gushed out, and the tiger howled miserably.Before the tiger could struggle, the boa snake that had bitten its prey quickly gathered its body around the tiger's lower body.
Seeing that the tiger was about to be buried in Shekou, there was the sound of howling wind above their heads.Looking up, saw a large group of red flying over the heads of the two.
Little Guaiguai used the trees in the forest as fulcrums and his own vines as ropes to shoot himself as a bullet.
The ferocious bloodthirsty vines went straight to the boa snake's seven inches, and the vines penetrated deeply into the wound that lost the protection of the scales.The anaconda opened its mouth in pain, and the moment it opened its mouth, the tiger finally found a chance to escape.
The tiger limped and ran to the side of the pond and lay down.A row of deep blood holes appeared on its front legs, and bright red blood slid down the fur.Boa snakes don't rely on their teeth when foraging for food, they rely on their size to hang their prey.The hair of the tiger that had been entangled by the boa snake was disheveled, and it was unknown whether it had suffered internal injuries. Blood was constantly oozing from its nose and mouth.
The bloodthirsty vine is not afraid of breaking the vine at all, no matter how many times the boa snake bites it, it will firmly nail the wound on the snake's neck.The wound made by the tiger desperately opened was fully utilized by Xiaoguai, and the sound of sucking flesh and blood continued to be heard.
The boa snake was in pain, and it opened its mouth wide and made a painful "hissing" sound.At first, it also tried to hang Xiaoguai, but no matter how it twisted and rolled, the bloodthirsty vines pierced deeper and harder.
In the end, the boa snake had no strength to strangle, and it twisted its body and rolled in the pond.The huge snake tail slapped the ground continuously, and every time it slapped, a deep depression appeared in the pond.
Mutated animals and plants entangled by bloodthirsty vines have no chance of surviving.Relying on the wound created by the tiger, Xiao Guaiai won an overwhelming victory.The boa snake's struggle became weaker and weaker, and within ten minutes, it fell to the ground without life.
Jiang Rong came out from behind the stone. The scene of the three giant beasts fighting was so exciting that he is still reminiscing about the wonderful moment just now.After reminiscing, he couldn't help thinking about this question: If he encounters a tiger or a snake without Xiaoguai, is there any possibility for him to fight back?
The answer is no. In fact, the last time he encountered a mutant snake, if it wasn't for Xiaoguaiguai's help, he would have died.
Xiao Guaiguai was like a red net covering the snake's body. As it sucked food, the snake's body shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye.The bloodthirsty vine on the head of eating was shaking slightly, and as it shook, Jiang Rong felt that it seemed to have grown up a bit.
Guan Shao reminded: "The tiger has run away, do you want to chase it?"
Jiang Rong looked at the place where the tiger lay down just now, and it really had disappeared.Thinking of the tiger biting the snake's tail and looking at them, Jiang Rong shook his head: "Forget it, for the sake of helping us, don't kill them all."
Moreover, the tiger was seriously injured, and it is still unknown whether it can survive.If it survived, it would be fine for Zhiqu to stay obediently on the mountain and not hurt anyone. If it dared to harass the base, there would be time to deal with it.
The mutated snake was thirty meters long, and it took Xiaoguai an hour to completely digest the snake.Guan Shao dug out a palm-sized crystal nucleus from the snake's head, and Jiang Rong smiled when he saw the color of the crystal nucleus: "I've been busy for a long time, and I'm making a wedding dress for Qiang Zi."
Guan Shao smiled and pointed to the snake skin and bones: "We still have this." The skin of the mutated snake is extremely hard, so it must have many uses.As for the snake bone... it should be useful in the future, right?
Jiang Rong never liked cold-blooded animals, and whenever he thought of mutated snakes on the mountain, he felt uncomfortable.It's all right now, the mutant boa snake has been eliminated, and the big stone in his heart has also fallen.
When came here, walked through the mountains and forests, but when went back, could walk on the road.The two of them walked down the winding mountain road all the way, and it didn't take long before they saw the huge body of the little fairy.
In the past, the little fairy would warmly greet them when they came back from a long distance, but today Jiang Rong walked up to it, and it was still hanging on the courtyard wall.Jiang Rong wondered, "Little fairy?"
The little fairy trembled suddenly, as if she had been taken aback.Is this strange?What happened?Jiang Rong frowned: "Little Fairy, what's wrong with you?"
The little fairy snorted twice: "Jiang Gong..."
Jiang Xiaoheng's cry came from the courtyard, and after a while, Jiang Xiaoheng ran out of the courtyard crying, "Dad, come and see Doudou, Doudou is bleeding a lot, it is going to die! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, Dad, save Doudou quickly!"
Jiang Rong and Guan Shao looked at each other, what's the matter?Thinking of the little fairy's embarrassment, and then analyzing Jiang Xiaoheng's words, a terrible thought rose in the minds of the two: Could it be that Jiang Xiaoheng brought the children to the house, but was stabbed by the little fairy?
Thinking of this possibility, Jiang Rong's hairs stood on end.
He can't bear the responsibility of someone else's child having an accident in his own home!
The two quickly ran towards the yard, and the picture of the child's tragic death flashed in their minds.As soon as they entered the courtyard gate, their footsteps stopped suddenly, and their pupils contracted violently: under the east courtyard wall, there was a colorful giant tiger. Jiang Hao squatted next to the tiger with gauze and iodine in his hand. He was as full of joy as Jiang Xiaoheng.face is tears.
The appearance of the giant tiger is very familiar. Isn't this the big tiger that just defeated the mutant snake in the mud pond with Xiaoguaiguai?
Jiang Xiaoheng burst into tears, he eagerly took Jiang Rong's hand and walked towards the tiger: "Father, Doudou, Doudou is dying... woo woo woo, save it quickly..."
Jiang Rong looked at his son and then at the tiger, and what his son said to him some time ago rang in his mind.
"Dad, there is a new member of the Miaomiao team, a little tiger named Doudou."
"Dad, Doudou is very cute, you will definitely like him."
"Can I bring Doudou home?"
"Dad, can I bring some delicious food to Doudou?"
His eyes darkened, good guy, it turned out that his son raised a giant golden gradient outside, and he, the father, only realized it today!
