Chapter 891: Silver Frost Seen in the Water

On the lakeshore, Chao Ming stayed beside the suitcase. From time to time, he would climb up a nearby tree to look at the lake and observe the movements around him. The lost object hung under his neck, swaying slightly with his movements and emitting a temperature that made him feel comfortable.

The skylight at the fusion area is usually not strong, but rather soft and dim, as if there is a layer of gauze covering the sky. However, occasionally, it can present a stronger and more transparent effect, like today, when the soft and bright skylight splashes down, making the lake surface sparkle.

Half an hour later, the lake water rolled and waves spread outward, as if something was about to rush out from there.

Chao Ming raised his head and then jumped up. After circling in the sky for a while, there was a bang. A huge object broke through the water surface, rose to a height of ten meters, and then fell heavily on the lake beach, splashing a lot of water droplets.

Chao Ming immediately flew a little higher to avoid the scattered water droplets. The waves near the shore below were surging and rolling. After a while, a figure appeared from the water and slowly walked towards the shore. Some rolling waves hit his body and were immediately smashed to pieces as if they had hit an invisible reef. The rolling waves did not affect his pace.

The morning bird made a cheerful chirping sound in the sky.

Chen Chuan walked steadily to the shore holding the Xuejun Knife. Under the influence of the biological field, his body was not wet at all. He came in front of the creature.

This is a multi-eyed magic ray recorded in the illustrated manual. It has a huge body, with a wingspan of more than 20 meters horizontally and 7 to 8 meters from front to back. When in water, it can expand its body size by absorbing a large amount of water to intimidate and deter various ferocious creatures underwater. It is said that it can expand to about three to five times its original size.

There are hundreds of eyes on its back that can emit a faint light underwater. This light, accompanied by a certain gas it emits, has a powerful psychedelic effect, which can cause creatures to have all kinds of hallucinations, thereby giving up resistance and being preyed upon.

Chen Chuan then pulled out a dagger, cut open a place under its body near its cheek, and took out a sac from it, which was the gland that secreted the psychedelic gas.

This thing also works for fighters. If you are not careful, you may get hurt by it accidentally. If you take this thing to a pharmaceutical company or the Fighting Council, you can exchange it for some relatively scarce training medicines.

He took out an ice pack from his suitcase. He brought it with him specifically for the convenience of carrying some special alienated tissues and organs. He put the thing in his suitcase, and after putting it away, he began to look for the high-energy nutrients he needed.

The most nutritious tissue of the multi-eyed devil ray is the filamentous alienated tissue that connects all the eyes. Once cooked, it tastes like chewy noodles. It is a rare thing that does not have to be eaten raw, so he plans to change his taste today.

It was just a bit troublesome to collect them, as they needed to be carefully pulled out one by one. If they were not pulled out completely, the nutrients would soon dissipate. Even with the assistance of the biological field, it took him more than ten minutes to pull out all the alienated filaments, and divided them into more than twenty rolls and placed them on a piece of clean membrane that had been removed.

Then he took out a small pot he carried with him and poured water into it. As he adjusted his breathing, high temperature naturally emanated from his body and the water was boiled in a short while. He took out another roll and put it in. It just rolled it a few times and a stream of oil spread out. Without adding any seasoning, an enticing aroma wafted out.

Chao Ming couldn't help but come over at this time. Chen Chuan smiled and didn't keep the food to himself. He specially picked up some with chopsticks and shared it with it. After Chao Ming ate, it suddenly flapped its wings and flew away. After a while, it came back with a few eggs in its mouth.

Chen Chuan identified this as a black sparrow egg, which had only average nutritional value, but tasted very delicious. When he was looking at the illustrations, it seemed that Chao Ming had also taken note of it.

He patted Chao Ming's head. Over the past few days, under the influence of various foods and leftovers, the latter's body has grown larger. Its bright multi-layered feathers spread backwards, its front feet have sharp claws, and its hind feet covered by its tail feathers are very strong and powerful. In fact, it is already quite intimidating to other creatures.

Just because of its age, its growth period is actually far from over. I believe that with sufficient nutrition, its future growth will be even more promising.

Chen Chuan broke the eggs, made a few simple fried eggs, and then spread them on the ingredients that looked like snow-white noodles and enjoyed them deliciously.

After he and Chao Ming finished eating it, he felt warm all over. These alienated tissues were the essence of the multi-eyed magic ray. Just based on the nutrients absorbed, he felt that even if he did not go hunting for the next few days, it would be enough to support his own practice.

After a while, he went to the lake to clean the pot. He did not use the biofield, but cleaned it himself. This made him feel like he was back at home in Yangzhi, and he still had the sense of security that comes from having a full stomach after a meal.

At this time, I couldn't help but think of my aunt's family in the central city. It has been almost a month since we entered the integration area. I don't know if my aunt and uncle have adapted to the life in the central city. The two little guys should have started classes. Learning knowledge is a very pleasant thing. I think they are very happy every day.

He planned to collect some animal and plant specimens to broaden their horizons. If there was a chance, he could also bring some rare and harmless creatures. He had already thought about what to bring to his aunt and uncle. There was a kind of "Cypress Grass" in the Blending Land. It had beautiful flowers that could keep people happy all the time. It also had the function of repairing damaged parts and had a strong ability to survive. It could be grown even outside the Blending Land.

But he didn't see it on the way here, so he planned to pay attention to it on the way back.

There were actually quite a few good things at the bottom of the lake, and he thought he could stay here for two days. Because the creatures he hunted here had a higher nutritional value, he didn't have to spend the entire day looking for prey, and could also take a break here.

He stayed by the lake for two days, spending most of the time resting and adjusting. On the third day, he set off again in full energy.

He could feel that the terrain ahead was gradually rising. After a day of trekking, he stopped to practice at night. After he had mastered the Great Bright Light style, he looked into the distance in the early light of the sky and found that he was now standing on a high mountain, and a large plain appeared in front of him.

In the distance, you can see a pointed cone-shaped mountain with thick smoke billowing out of it. It looks like an active volcano, but in fact the fusion area is not simple. Some environments that look similar to the outside have completely different backgrounds. For example, the fireworks are likely to be produced by the spontaneous combustion of high-energy algae.

Often, around where high-energy algae survive, there are also more special organisms living around them. He has a feeling that the harvest there will be considerable.

On the plains, you can see large patches of intermittent light white fog clouds floating in the distance, with almost no beginning or end. In fact, they are clouds of passing insects. Standing here and looking at them, if you ignore their composition, you can see the wonder and magnificence of the blending land.

He calculated the distance and thought that if he sped up a bit, he should be able to reach the other side of the mountain before noon. So he called out to Chaoming and then started running, leaving a rolling trail on the ground.

Just as he expected, he arrived at the foot of the mountain around noon. He could feel the high temperature here and could clearly see that the mountain above was charred black with some high-temperature red light flashing there.

There were many tiny fluffy things flying around in the air. They were insects that fed on the debris left by burning high-energy algae. There were also many birds flying around, pecking at the insects, and the chirping sounds were very noisy.

Chen Chuan's heart moved slightly, he recognized that this was a bird called the Golden Bird. This bird liked to bring back some rare minerals and plants, and then spit out its own saliva to build a sturdy bird's nest. Over time, an alien membrane called "silver frost" would condense on the surface.

He looked up at another mountain nearby, which was the direction where the golden bird came from. After a while, he saw some twinkling white lights there. They were undoubtedly silver frost. As his sight extended, he saw such things almost all around the mountain.

This thing is also a high-value high-energy nutrient. The old state religion cannot do without this thing when refining some special elixirs. Because the old imperial family occupied many of the most valuable lands in the fusion land, they have almost monopolized these things for a long time. Dashun needs to use it, and sometimes it needs to obtain it from the underground channels of both parties.

I didn’t expect there were so many of them. Now that I’ve seen them, I can’t miss them.

He pulled out the strap of the suitcase, put it on his back, and then walked towards the mountain.

As he walked, he also saw a group of crane-like white golden birds. Each of them was very large. These were the alien forms of the golden birds, and they were usually responsible for fighting against foreign invasions. As he approached, the large birds began to chirp and issued a warning.

But after only a moment, the sounds became sharp, high-pitched and rapid. Chen Chuan couldn't help but pause. He thought to himself that he had not entered the opponent's real warning circle, so the sound should not be directed at him. At this moment, Chao Ming, which was hovering in the sky far above, also made a warning chirp.

He looked in a certain direction and saw a slender figure with huge wings appearing at one end of the sky.
