Thinking that Kunpeng would never harm him, he licked the palm of his hand with the tip of his tongue.
Just once, I felt a sense of fullness in my stomach.
“It’s really edible!”
Although I didn’t feel full, but…
Ye Ming looked at his wet palms and thought that licking them eight or ten times would definitely be enough.
When everyone saw his actions, they immediately reached out and rubbed the feathers, and when their hands were wet, they put them directly on their tongues.
After a while, the full people lay down on the grass in the forest.
Zhao Qi turned his head to the left and asked Ye Ming who was not far away: "What did we just lick?"
Ye Ming sat up with his hands on his head, his face puzzled, even a little bewildered: "Why do you think I would know?"
"Uh, you always seem to know everything..." Zhao Qi explained weakly.
“Gegegege…” Lin Miao covered her mouth and giggled, then stopped for a while and said, “It’s natural, I guess.
He was like this when I first met him, with a calm expression and indifferent eyes, as if nothing in the world could stop him. "
As she spoke, she revealed a look of reminiscence: "I don't know what others think, but I am... hehe."
Lin Miao smiled foolishly.
Zhao Qi had a gloomy face, and he felt as if he was walking on the side of the road and was kicked for no reason.
"I'm full, let's get to work!"
Chapter 232 Master, can you go to heaven?
The water stains that Luo Xiling and others licked were sent by Zhang Mu.
He was reading a report compiled by Geoffrey at the time.
After studying for a while, I had some idea of where to start looking for the missing materials, so I thought about checking to see if they were running around.
It turned out that a group of people were starving to death.
It wasn't intentional, but I forgot to set "deliver lunch" or "invite him to eat" to "Friend Liu".
Seeing that they were howling with hunger, Zhang Mu originally planned to control Fellow Daoist Liu to deliver food.
But on second thought, he decided to take this opportunity to feed them some diluted medicine that could strengthen their bodies and replenish their energy, so as to create the illusion that they had "successfully practiced".
It also lays the groundwork for the subsequent "sword-wielding technique".
The sword-wielding technique is an extraordinary ability carefully designed by Zhang Mu for his disciples.
The essence is similar to that of a magic wand, both of which use various means to activate magic props.
The only difference between the two is that the magic wand relies on spells, which is voice unlocking, while sword-wielding relies on sword gestures and hand gestures to unlock.
As for the advanced spells that will come later, Zhang Mu plans to continue to develop them based on this - the user does not have control over the magic power, it only serves as a switch to activate magic items.
With the main tone set, Zhang Mu was in a good mood. He put Joffrey's report into his inventory, thinking that he would find some materials for experiments later.
Then, with a slight movement of his mind, he arrived at the top of Yuzhang Mountain, the house where Luo Xiling and his group were staying.
The three doors on the house were tightly closed, and he could not hear any breathing. He looked up at the dim sky and muttered, "It's almost dark, and you're still in the back mountain?"
The changes in sky color and strange astronomical phenomena in the mountain gate area are not set randomly.
In order to create a sense of mystery, he deliberately did not transform the sun and the moon, and directly divided it into night and day, alternating every twelve hours.
Therefore, Luo Xiling and her team, who set out at dawn, must have been chopping trees for ten hours.
There was nothing to do, so Zhang Mu didn't use his mental power to check and went to the back mountain with his hands behind his back.
Yes, although this whole cutting down trees to practice cultivation is bullshit, they are still quite diligent.
Satisfied with everyone's diligent attitude, Zhang Mu smiled.
However, the good mood did not last long.
When he arrived, he looked around at the bare mountain top and the scattered tree stumps with axe marks all over the ground, and couldn't help but wonder in his mind - where is my forest?
Although this forest is not very large, with only more than seventy trees, it also took him a lot of effort.
All the trees are species carefully selected from the continent of Thor. In addition to being straight, tall and sturdy, they also have great ornamental value.
When the workers were planting trees, Zhang Mu even went to the site in person to direct the layout of the forest, thinking that in his spare time in the future, he would be able to lie on the dense branches and take a leisurely rest.
Well, it seems there is no place to lie now.
With a gloomy face, Zhang Mu walked forward. He already guessed what was going on.
Sure enough, after climbing over a small slope, they saw an open space extending downwards, and they gathered around the last tree.
The director, Luo Xiling, Zhao Qi, and Yue Ruo were in the center, all blushing and spitting. Outside were four predestined people holding axes, looking at a loss, as if they were frightened by the violent atmosphere among the four. Outside, Ye Ming and Lin Miao stood helplessly.
Zhang Mu had sharp hearing and could still hear the conversation clearly even though they were dozens of meters apart.
"I don't care. I cut the least, so the last one belongs to me!" Zhao Qi said as he threw down the iron axe and hugged the tree with his arms.
"Ha." Yue Ruo sneered, "Don't think I don't know that you underreported the number. I cut the least!"
"Stop arguing!" The director waved his hand to interrupt them, "I'm the director, give me this tree!"
"Think beautifully!"
The two who had just glared at each other immediately united as one: "I won't give you anything even if you deduct all your wages!"
Seeing that the leader's posture was ineffective, the thoughtful director changed his offensive and played the emotional card: "Xiao Yue, and Xiao Zhao,
I have taken good care of you in previous years, right?
Food, drink and daily necessities, which one is short?
Let’s not talk about that. I’m the oldest, and out of respect for the elders, you can’t snatch it from me, right?”
This passage is not only sincere in tone, but also well-coordinated with facial expressions, fully demonstrating the loneliness and solitude of empty-nest elderly people.
Unfortunately, the two people who have known the director for many years didn't buy it at all.
"Humph." Zhao Qi crossed his arms over his chest and raised his chin, "I'm not Xiao Zhao, I'm Get Out."
Yue Ruo also sneered: "Every year you deduct 200 yuan from my year-end bonus. After I exposed you, you still insisted that the higher-ups didn't pay you in full.
I remember it all.”
The director's face turned red, and he hesitated for a while: "Well... there is no other way. My wife is very strict, so I have to find a way to increase the source of income, right?"
“Open source has come to me?”
While the three of them were talking to each other and had no time to pay attention to him, Luo Xiling, who had been keeping his head down and silent for a long time, felt that his opportunity had come. He stepped forward and knocked down the tree with three axes, just like a rabbit out of a cage.
"boom--"
She raised her foot and stepped on the fallen tree trunk. She raised her head proudly and showed her white teeth: "I will help you solve the conflict!"
"good."
The three people who were about to surround Luo Xiling turned around and saw a figure in white clothes and silver hair coming over. They hurriedly stopped fighting and said, "Xu Xianren."
Glancing around, his eyes finally fell on the triangular pile of trees not far away. Xu smiled and said, "Everyone, this is very good."
“Master!” Luo Xiling ran over with a silly smile, “The feathers that Uncle Master sent me during the day were amazing. I was full in just a few bites!”
"Not only that, I feel a lot stronger. I couldn't chop down a tree in the morning, but I could cut it down with just a few axes in the afternoon." Zhao Qi said excitedly.
His eyelids were twitching, but luckily there was an illusion outside so he didn't have to worry about being noticed.
I thought that a person without felling experience might not be able to cut down a tree this thick even in a month. It seems that this is my own fault.
Zhao Qi said as he walked to the tree that Luo Xiling had just chopped down and swung his axe, splitting the tree in two with a few strokes. Then he said excitedly, "Look, Immortal Xu, am I awesome?"
A warm smile appeared on Asahi's face.
I remember Soran mentioned that there is a special tree in the Silent Forest.
Its texture is as hard as steel, but its lush leaves are a normal emerald green, and they fall and sprout as the seasons change.
"Mr. Zhao, do you like felling trees?"
"If I can get stronger every day, I'd love it."
"very good."
Xu turned his head and looked around at everyone: "Are you the same as Mr. Zhao?"
They were all thinking straight, and only Ye Ming felt that something was wrong with Xu Xianren's expression. While standing there without moving, he poked Lin Miao's back of the hand with his little finger as a reminder.
"Your diligence has touched Xu deeply." The arc of his mouth became bigger, "Since this is the case, Xu must also express his gratitude.
Starting tomorrow, we will implement an incentive measure. You must cut down at least one tree that day. If you achieve this, you will be rewarded. Otherwise, you will be fined. "
One?
Immortal Xu is such a good person. This is clearly an excuse to bring us immortality!
Zhao Qi almost lost his grip on the axe and asked happily, "What if we exceed the target?"
There are also those who came here to seek death. Xu looked at him and said calmly: "Of course there will be extra rewards, but correspondingly, the punishment needs to be doubled."
"That `s a deal!"
Ye Ming glanced at the group of people who looked as if they had gotten a piece of cake, and said, "Xu Xianren, is it okay for Lin Miao and I not to participate?"
"It depends on your personal wishes."
After saying this, Xuxianren seemed to have something urgent to do and his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
"Ye Ming, are you stupid? You don't want a chance that you picked up for free?"
"I……"
Immortal Xu calls Kunpeng "Senior Brother", which means they are of the same lineage and their personalities might be similar?
A thought flashed through Ye Ming's mind, and he immediately changed the subject: "Well... I don't think the improvement is obvious. I have to find time to test it tomorrow."
"Where's Lin Miao?"
"Same as me." As Lin Miao opened her mouth, Ye Ming spoke out to stop her, while giving her a subtle look.
