Chapter 9 A Grass
Everyone searched the entire space and found no danger, so they naturally relaxed a little.
Miao Yongyuan asked in confusion: "Why did we not find anyone who fell here all the way?"
"This is a bit strange." Fan Xuanhe guessed: "Will it be in the stone forest?"
Cao Hexuan clapped his palms, attracted the attention of several people, and said, "We can't guess what we can't guess here, so we'd better do our own thing first." This matter is indeed a bit strange. Of course, there is another possibility that the message given by the task is not accurate, but this possibility is not great. I can't guess anything after guessing. It's better to complete the task earlier and go back to hand in the office earlier. He can see clearly.
The captain said, and everyone did as he did.
Miao Yongyuan took off his backpack, took some water samples from the small lake, and began to do some related tests.
Liu Han, with Fan Xuanhe's help, began some related exploration and recorded data.
As for the captain and Liang Da, they are responsible for the alert and check nearby for other dangers.
After a series of operations, Miao Yongyuan came to a conclusion: this water is harmless to the human body! Putting down the test tube and instrument, he naturally reached out to stir in the water, stirring it up. This was purely a sense of intimacy with water. Biyi water is the source of life, it was completely a subconscious behavior.
However, he forgot one thing: on Mars, especially in the wild, you must be vigilant anytime and anywhere.
Suddenly, Miao Yongyuan felt that something seemed to be stuck in his hand. A severe pain came. He subconsciously shrank his hand suddenly, but after a "scumbling" sound, he found that his hand was bitten by a white strange fish.
Unconsciously prepared, he screamed in a strange way and shook his hands repeatedly. Unfortunately, with his strength, he couldn't get rid of his blood, but instead threw his blood far away.
This strange fish bites so strongly. His hand strength is quite strong for ordinary people, and he can't even get rid of it!
Hearing Miao Yongyuan's exclamation, several people rushed over quickly. Fan Xuan and "swish" pulled out their short sword and waved them. The sword light flashed, and the strange fish broke into two pieces. One piece fell to the ground with a "bang", but they were energetic for a moment and struggled to rush on the ground. As for the other piece, the fish's mouth did not loosen because of this, but still bit Miao Yongyuan's finger tightly.
After finally getting rid of the fish that was only half left, Miao Yongyuan was about to step on it and stomp it, but he was stopped by Fan Xuanhe. "Such a strange creature may have research value, don't stumble it!"
Miao Yongyuan took back his raised foot and stepped aside. He found a row of fine tooth mark wounds on the middle finger of his left hand, which was already boned. He endured the pain and took out the medicine to clean the wound. Only then did he have time to look at the strange fish that Fan Xuan and put in the bottle.
The strange fish's eyes have deteriorated, and it looks like a layer of membrane covering it. It has a bit of fine and sharp teeth, and its mouth is larger than its head when it is opened. The whole strange fish is just the length of the palm and the thickness of the thumb.
"This doesn't look like a fish, it's a bit like a snake." Fan Xuanhe was also looking at the strange fish in the bottle.
Miao Yongyuan nodded and said, "It does look like a snake, but it has fins, it should be a fish. Look at it, there are two whiskers on the corner of its mouth, which is a bit like a loach, but the loach does not have as sharp teeth as it has."
Seeing that Miao Yongyuan was fine, Cao Hexuan said to everyone: "Okay, let's continue, but be careful, maybe there is something strange. As for the water, don't go into the water for the time being, maybe there are strange fish or something strange inside." With the equipment of the exploration team, there is no way to explore the entire lake clearly, so professional equipment is needed.
Fan Xuanhe patted Miao Yongyuan's shoulder to show comfort, and stuffed the bottle containing the strange fish into his backpack, and followed Liu Han to continue to make the test.
Miao Yongyuan looked at the lake, and was still scared, so he stopped approaching and walked to the other side. However, he found something on a stone pillar: a grass.
The grass itself is not strange, but it is somewhat strange to appear here. You should know that there are no plants found on Mars for this reason, some of which are luminous moss plants. At least, it was Miao Yongyuan's first time seeing it.
What's even more strange is that there is no wind here, but the grass is shaking gently, as if it is waving his hands to say hello to someone.
Originally, discovering such a plant was a big discovery, and he should have called everyone over. However, by some reason, he actually walked over silently, walked to the stone pillar, and gently stroked the grass with only one leaf. It looked carefully, there was still a little blood on it.
Needless to say, it must have been when Miao Yongyuan was bitten by a monster fish before, and when he shook his hand, he threw the blood here and splashed it.
This grass with only one leaf was about inch tall, Miao Yongyuan felt very pitiful. In this dungeon, it was still growing on the stone pillars. I was afraid that it was not enough water, and I didn’t know how it survived.
When he gently stroked the grass that seemed to be malnourished, the grass seemed to feel his pity and shook slightly. Then, the small leaf suddenly bounced and pierced its head on his fingers.
Miao Yongyuan suddenly shrank his hand and looked at it, but there was no trace and there was no pain. He just felt something had entered his finger. Looking at the stone pillar again, the grass was gone.
If it weren't for the little traces on the stone pillar, Miao Yongyuan would have doubted whether he had an illusion before.
However, the current situation is no different from hallucinations. There was a small grass just now, but now it has disappeared and disappeared.
"It's not so evil, right? Did you run into your body?" Miao Yongyuan's heart moved, thinking of a possibility, thinking of the plot in the science fiction movies he had watched before, and he felt a little furious.
I quickly started to investigate myself, but found nothing.
After shook his head, Miao Yongyuan temporarily put the matter aside because the captain there was calling him over.
After working hard for most of the day, I finally checked the environment here. Except for the lake, there are certainly no dangers in other places.
In fact, if they are a team above C level, they can apply for a detector. They can clearly detect what is in the lake. Unfortunately, their level is not enough and they are not qualified to use it.
Cao Hexuan said excitedly: "The discovery here, not to mention anything else, just water source is very valuable. We will receive a lot of rewards after we go back. However, we still have time, so we don't have to rush back. I found that the spiritual energy here is much richer than other places, so we can take the opportunity to practice before leaving."
"Indeed, this is much better than the expensive training room in the base." Liang Da was not polite. He heard the captain say that he could practice, so he found a place to sit down and started practicing.
Vice Captain Liu Han and Cao Hexuan looked at each other, shook their heads slightly, and said to Fan Xuanhe and Miao Yongyuan: "You can practice too, the captain and I will help you protect the Dharma."
Anyway, with Miao Yongyuan's cultivation level, it may not take too much time to practice. I will replace the captain and the others in a while.
"Okay, then I'll practice first. I'll practice later. After I finish practicing, I'll be on the alert." Miao Yongyuan responded, and did not run around, and sat down on the spot to practice.
After practicing this, Miao Yongyuan discovered that this place was indeed a Feng Shui treasure land. It was indeed full of spiritual energy and was soon immersed in the cultivation.
As I practiced, Miao Yongyuan felt something was wrong. Originally, he used his own spiritual thoughts to capture the spiritual energy, but today it seemed that after the beginning, the spiritual energy seemed to actively rely on it, or the body had a suction force, which absorbed the spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy entered the dantian along the meridians, and he had no time to refine it.
Miao Yongyuan collected his spiritual thoughts and entered the dantian with the spiritual energy. Only then did he realize that there was actually a grass in the dantian! It was the grass that disappeared inexplicably on the stone pillar before.
Seeing this grass, Miao Yongyuan's mind was a little confused: "Is this parasitized? Or what's going on? In the past, I could only vaguely feel the dantian and the true energy inside, but now why can I see the scene of the dantian so clearly? When can I look inward? Should I ask the captain and the others? No! If others know about this strange thing, will it be captured by those Frankenstein for dissection and section research?"
Miao Yongyuan was distracted and began to think randomly in his mind.
Originally, under normal circumstances, if you are distracted during cultivation, you will definitely not have the effect of cultivation. Capturing spiritual energy is empty talk. If it is serious, it is possible that the true energy will run around. However, Miao Yongyuan is not like this at this time. Even if he is distracted, the external spiritual energy will still run into his body, as if there is a suction force in his body. The source of this suction force is his dantian.
To be precise, it was the grass in his dantian.
Liu Han's cultivation level was higher, and he was the first to feel an unusual place. He said to Cao Hexuan with some confusion: "Old Cao, do you feel it? The spiritual energy is gathering towards Xiao Miao. What kind of martial arts is he practicing? The speed of this cultivation is probably faster than mine!"
Cao Hexuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I don't know what kind of martial arts he practices. Unless he takes the initiative, we cannot ask according to the rules. This is someone else's privacy. But there is one thing I know..."
"What?"
"If I don't work harder, I'm afraid he will break through earlier than me and become a true cultivator one step earlier."
...
Miao Yongyuan, who was thinking about random things, didn't know what the two captains were talking about. He was pulled back by a strange itch on his left hand.
With a moving mind, he focused on his cultivation again. Only then did he realize that his meridians had become slightly swollen, which means that it was time to stop the exercise. If he continued to practice, he would damage the meridians.
However, he was obviously distracted before.
"What is this? It can actually absorb spiritual energy through my body?" He had discovered that Xiaocao was actively absorbing the spiritual energy from the outside world. How long has it been? Xiaocao was no longer the malnutritional state that she had seen on the stone pillar before, but was full of vitality as if she was nourished after the rain!
When his mind returned, the grass's state of absorbing spiritual energy was stopped. He could feel the grass as if it was breathing. As the grass breathed, the external spiritual energy was slowly sucked into the dantian one by one, and the grass also sucked away the true energy in its body.
Inhaled from the rhizome and exhaled from the leaves.
During this exhalation and inhalation, he faintly felt that his true energy seemed to have changed.
