Chapter 299

"If you're not interested in listening, I won't come. Don't be so hypocritical." Lin became impatient.

Zou nodded and said slowly: "that was more than 20 years ago, when I was 19 years old That year, by chance, I saved a group of mercenaries. In order to thank me, they told me where an underground ice melon was. "

"What is an iced melon?" Lin Bian asked.

"Ice melon is an extremely rare plant. It grows underground and is cool and sweet. It is the most precious fruit in the world. A mature ice melon costs tens of thousands of yuan." Zhuo tie took the initiative to explain.

Zou continued: "after I said goodbye to them, according to the map they drew, I spent the whole day looking for the location marked on the map. After that, it took me more than an hour to find the exact location of the underground entrance."

The entrance is in a stone crevice, and there are all kinds of poisonous flowers and herbs growing outside. Most people can't see them, and I'm afraid they can't get in if they see them. But it happened that the weather was abnormal that day. All these plants that make people numb on weekdays withered that day. Xiao Zou could avoid them with a little attention.

Pushing aside the vegetation on the surface, xiaozou climbed into the crevice. The front part of the cave was very narrow. Xiaozou could only move forward slowly on his side. After about 30 meters, xiaozou felt that he had completely entered the ground. Finally, the road ahead was much wider, and xiaozou could walk well. The cave was not circuitous, but it was getting steeper and steeper. At the beginning, although he could feel that it was under the ground Po, but Heping Road was not much different, but later, Xiao Zou had to hold the stone wall with one hand to move forward slowly, and he almost fell down several times.

Just when Zou hesitated to move forward, he gradually felt that there were bursts of cold in front of him. If the icegourd wants to grow, it must absorb enough natural cold. The cold can't be too strong, but it should be sufficient and continuous, and it's better not to leave for decades. Feeling the chill ahead, Xiao Zou could believe that there was really a possibility of ice melon here, so he gave up the idea of retreat and continued to move forward.

Further on, the slope finally eased a lot, and some ice crystals could be seen everywhere on the ground. Having said that, it's not very cold here. It doesn't reach the normal freezing point at all, but the water is frozen, which is the wonder of the world.

Xiao Zou knew that he would reach the end after a short walk. Sure enough, he saw a little light in front of the cave before he took a few steps. The light was shining on the ice crystals in the cave, lighting up the road ahead. Zou didn't dare to light a fire at will. He just went forward with his feeling and experience. At this time, there was some light. Zou was a little relieved to move on.

Finally, in front of Xiao Zou's eyes, ice melon vines appeared one after another. Unfortunately, the ice melons on the vines were only the size of fists, and there was no sign of maturity at all. It was extremely disappointing.

Zou knows: the general growth period of ice melon is 20 years, which is a kind of plant with thick accumulation and thin hair. In the first 19 and a half years, it will never grow to the size of fist. In the last half year, it will quickly grow from the size of fist to the size of football, which is considered mature. But when Zou looks at the ice melon in front of him, it not only stops growing, but also withers. It's not hard to guess, one day It must be something happened in the past six months.

It's true that the melons need no natural gas to grow in the ice field 19 years ago.

Looking at all this, little Zou was unwilling, so he began to check these ice melons carefully. After a circle, little Zou found that the cold stored in these ice melons had all been drained. If not, these ice melons would not wither even if they were not ripe immediately.

Taking everything together, Zou guessed: I'm afraid that something has appeared in this area in the past six months, which not only takes up the cold air around, but also absorbs the spiritual power of the ice melon. This thing must be more powerful than the ice melon, otherwise it will not be able to win easily in the competition for resources

Thinking about it, Zou began to look around. He wanted to know what took away the cold and spiritual power of binggua.

Xiao Zou, with amazing eyesight, could almost see at night. Soon, he found a faint light, so he immediately began to look for the source of the light.

After looking for it for a short time, Xiao Zou found that there was a small hole in a corner from which the faint light was emitted. Because there were many ice crystals refracting each other on the surrounding ground, there were faint lights everywhere in the whole cave, so it was difficult to find the real source.

Xiaozou carefully dug up the soft soil on the surface. After a while, a green rhizome appeared in front of him, "this is What... "

While Xiao Zou was talking, the rhizome plant seemed to dry up in an instant. The plant that was full of toughness before seemed to be weathered now. Xiao Zou was startled and quickly withdrew his hand.

It occurred to him that he might have heard of this plant.

This is a kind of plant growing underground. It is to the earth what bees are to flowers. It seems to take but in fact it gives. Although it is a plant, it will move. It will appear thousands of miles away every few decades. It will send abundant energy from one place to another barren place. It is the geology that sustains the world and the vein of the earth.Because it won't stay in one place for long, it's extremely rare. There have been some legends all the time, but no one really knows its characteristics. At this time, looking at the instant withering of the root, Xiao Zou is also the first two.

"Offended." After much hesitation, Xiao Zou still chose to touch it, so he gently stabbed the completely dry plant with his short sword. A blue flame suddenly jumped out and landed in the middle of the cave, and the plant with the length of a man's arm was also instantly weathered and turned into dust

Although Xiao Zou had some psychological preparation, he still had mixed feelings when he saw the root disappear. But he didn't think much. He just arched his hand towards the small hole, and then turned to see the blue flame.

Zou fan's dream is so hot that he can't get close to it, especially Zou fan's eyes The heart wing wing's guard in one side.

With some internal skills, Zou quickly sat down, slowly closed his eyes, and then opened his eyes. It had been a day and a night.

There was no sun and moon in the cave. When Zou opened his eyes again, his first reaction was that all the faint lights had disappeared. Instinctively, Zou took a look at the hole he had dug out, where the dust of the root plants was still there.
