"Chief, go and get a marrow-cleansing fruit with Li, and give it to Yong to take. Bei, are you still planning to go to the salt field?" Wu said.
"Go and see it. Uncle Yong probably doesn't need to observe these days. Just start recording when you come back." Mu Bei replied. The leader and Li came to the warehouse together and saw the animal skin bags filled with marrow cleansing fruits. They were completely speechless. It turned out to be a routine. Wu and Bei worked together to cheat people.
"Li, are you sure this is the Marrow Cleansing Fruit?" asked the leader.
"He's sure of shit. He just found someone to conduct the experiment because he wasn't sure. He said that he wanted to record the Marrow Cleansing Fruit to see if it has other effects. Apart from lying in bed for more than ten days, I didn't see any effects. If I have to say there is any effect, it's that now his ability to cause trouble for me is better than before." Li said.
The leader thought for a moment, "Bei, he likes to fool around normally, but never messes around on key issues. Bei must have seen that this fruit is not simple, so he wants to find someone to experiment with it."
"Your Zhan is very similar to you." The leader suddenly said.
"Chief, why do you say that? Bei also said that." Li said. Li was a little confused and couldn't figure out what it meant.
The leader walked away with a smile and ignored him. When the two returned to Wu's room, Mu Bei and Mao were ready to set off. The leader looked at Bei with a complicated expression and handed the marrow cleansing fruit to Yong. Yong took it and ate it directly, probably because he was afraid that the night would be long and he would have more dreams.
The fist-sized fruit was seedless and blood red inside and out. It was quickly eaten up. Mao stared at Yong with his eyes wide open, wishing he could go up and take Yong's place.
"Uncle Yong, what does the fruit taste like and how does it feel when you eat it?" Mu Bei asked standing beside him. Others also wanted to know what the fruit tasted like.
"I don't feel anything, there's only a faint fragrance and nothing else." Yong said. Yong also had doubts in his heart, this seemed to be an ordinary fruit.
"Let's go," said Mao, unable to stay any longer. This time, the hunting team dispatched a full team of more than 30 people, ready to encounter wild beasts or fierce beasts on the road, and to add some reserves to the tribe.
Everyone headed north. Mao suddenly asked, "Does the Beixisui Fruit really have so many benefits?"
"We are still exploring, and there are still many unknowns." Mu Bei explained. Mao looked at Mu Bei meaningfully.
"Okay, you don't need to fool me anymore. We have already found the experimenter. There is no need to fool me anymore. I saw you pulling your father, and when Wu stopped the leader, I was just cooperating with you in the play. Someone has to sacrifice for the experiment. If we don't do it, will we let our team members do it?" Mao said with a smile. Mu Bei didn't expect Mao to think this way.
Mu Bei said: "Uncle Mao, I'm going to tell you the truth. I speculate that the Marrow Cleansing Fruit is real, and the specific effects may also be real. As for the compression force, I'm not so sure whether it is true." Mu Bei said seriously.
"What you've been talking about for so long is just speculation. You're really good. This won't kill me, at most I'll suffer a little." Mao said with disbelief.
Mu Bei said, "Uncle Mao, don't underestimate those fruits. They are definitely not simple." The two chatted all the way. It only takes half a day to get to the salt fields, and it is also the most frequently swept road. The salt fields are here, so the hunting team often sweeps this road regularly. All the team members spread out to inquire about the surrounding situation. This is the basic operation of the hunting team. First, explore the location of the ferocious beast, and go if you can do it, otherwise run away.
This is the hunting team's principle. They will not try it lightly because it involves the lives of their people. The journey was smooth sailing. Mu Bei had come out many times and this time was the easiest. They arrived at the salt pan smoothly. Mu Bei initially thought it was an open-air salt pan, but who would have thought that it was inside a cave, and everyone was preparing to enter.
"Uncle Mao, wait a minute everyone retreat." Mu Bei suddenly shouted. Mao saw Bei's serious face and knew that something was wrong with the salt cave.
Mu Bei said: There is a giant python inside, but I am not sure what kind it is. It may have just arrived here. Last night this was the territory of the Great Ape. The giant python would not dare to come here. Mu Bei said seriously.
"We have to find a way to lure it out, otherwise the space inside is too small and we won't be able to use it at all." Mao said.
Mu Bei said: "Uncle Mao, do you know which pythons like salt? We must first determine what level of ferocious beast the python is."
Mao thought for a moment and said, "There really are pythons that like salt. The body of a crystal python is like crystal, and its horns are like colored glaze. An adult crystal python is thirty meters long and weighs four or five tons. Crystal pythons only look for salt fields when they want to lay eggs."
"Uncle Mao, are you kidding me? This is the winter when pythons lay eggs." Mu Bei asked suspiciously. Mao gave Mu Bei an ignorant look and said, "What does the beast care whether it's winter or summer? You think it's a wild beast. Besides, the crystal python is a strange beast, not a fierce beast. It is said that where the crystal python appears, there must be crystal mines."
Mu Bei asked doubtfully: "Uncle Mao, which one is more powerful, the alien beast or the fierce beast?"
"It's not easy to classify exotic beasts. The clan records show that exotic beasts are different from ferocious beasts. Exotic beasts must have strange signs. The weak ones are worse than wild beasts, and the strong ones will die if a ferocious beast roars. However, the combat power of the crystal python is similar to that of high-level ferocious beasts. Its special ability should be crystal mine." Mao said seriously.
"This ability is useless. If Uncle Mao is laying eggs, it will enter a weak period. Then we can just rush in and kill him."
"We can only kill it. It won't come out of its eggs. Even luring it in may be useless."
"Uncle Mao, let's talk it over. Let's keep our wells separate and let it lay eggs. Do you think this is feasible?"
"Bei, you have such a brain. Sometimes you are very smart, but sometimes you are so stupid! Every egg-laying beast will not let outsiders get close."
"Uncle Mao, didn't you say it was a strange beast? It should be more intelligent, and maybe it can understand us. Also, if we really fight it head-on, we will definitely lose both sides. Don't doubt the determination of a very intelligent strange beast to protect its child."
Mao thought about it and said, "Then let's give it a try." Mu Bei said, "I'll go and try and you don't have to follow me."
"Bei, if you want to go, it's not my turn to take the risk." "Uncle Mao, let's not argue about this. I was the one who proposed it, so of course I will go."
Mu Bei didn't wait for Mao to object and walked straight to the cave. The first thing Mu Bei saw was the salt mine. The surrounding areas should be traces of the tribe's previous mining. The salt mine was not dark, and there was no idea what was shining on the top of the cave, making the mine very bright.
Mu Bei walked forward cautiously and suddenly heard a sound not far away. Mu Bei looked towards the place where the movement came from and saw a transparent giant python several dozen meters long coiled together, as if meditating with its head slightly raised.
"Don't be nervous. I have no ill intentions. I just want to discuss something with you. Your current location is the salt mine of our tribe. We will mine the salt and you can continue to hatch the eggs. We won't disturb each other." Mu Bei stepped forward and said.
Mu Bei felt something was wrong. He could feel the breath of the crystal python when he was outside, but why was it gone after he came in? After waiting for a while, the crystal python still did not move. Mu Bei began to talk while approaching the crystal python until he was only three steps away. Mu Bei was sure that the crystal python was dead, and it had just died, perhaps when Mu Bei discovered it.
Mu Bei walked around to observe the cause of death of the crystal python. Mu Bei found that the scales of the crystal python had fallen off in many places, and there were many scars on its body, which should be left by the battle. Judging from the wounds, the opponent should not be in a good situation. The fatal wound of the crystal python was on the side of its abdomen. It should have intentionally avoided the child, which caused the wound on the side. Excessive blood loss, coupled with the forced birth of the child, eventually died.
Mu Bei looked at the two crystal eggs under the crystal python and said, "I will take care of the two little crystal pythons for you, you can go with peace of mind!" Mu Bei was moved by this great motherly love and prepared to take in the two little pythons. Thinking of telling the crystal python about something, the crystal python suddenly moved, and a crystal ball floated in front of Mu Bei. Mu Bei reached out to grab it, and at the moment when Mu Bei grabbed it, the crystal python that had been coiled suddenly fell down.
