Rebirth of turning waste into treasure

Chapter 17 Toxic

After living in the castle for many years, this is Cheng Xiao's second visit to this long-lost land. His memory seems to be that only when the end of the world just came, their small gang used to tremble all day long on this desolate gray sand. In order to seek that chance of survival.

But even so, people still die every day. The degraded environment has sparse vegetation, yellow sand is everywhere, and fierce beasts are rampant. Every time I go hunting, I can always find fresh bones scattered by the roadside. How long has it been a ferocious beast, and some people even eat its bone marrow... Cheng Xiao vomited out that stench and disgusting taste, and then was slashed and pulled by other people who couldn't even catch a bite.

Compared with the past, the current situation is not much better. Cheng Xiao clenched the dagger in his hand and followed the team cautiously. The atmosphere in the crowd became extremely tense from the moment they left the city. It's so light that it can't be detected... Although his skills are passable, the current physical condition is really not very optimistic, so it is natural to be careful.

After the current vegetation has mutated and multiplied, it can barely cover a small part of the gray sandy land, and the fruits and bacteria it produces have also become the food source for many creatures, and this lush vegetation area surrounded by a clean water source is also Therefore, it has become a place where fierce beasts attack.

The tiny sound of the boots stepping on the dry branches on the ground, combined with the rustling of the surrounding leaves and the rustling of the bushes, raised the nerves of human beings to an extremely sensitive height. Several alien races scanned the surrounding environment as usual, making sure that there was no fresh bloody smell or traces of other large beasts entering or exiting...

After walking for about an hour, Cheng Xiao realized that the speed of the team had slowed down... Maybe it was because they had to bring humans with them this time, so the speed of the alien race was much slower. Wouldn't it take several days to go back and forth to the main hunting ground in the area?Cheng Xiao knew that large-scale hunting by foreign races would usually last for about a week, and that there seemed to be other spheres of influence in places further away, and the foreign races in the castle would not venture into it unless there was an emergency.

"It's right here. We collected food here last time." Lin Ye leaned close to Cheng Xiao's ear and whispered. He saw that Cheng Xiao's pace had not slowed down, so he reminded him that if he got there The front of the team is a little more dangerous... Didn't you see that Ning Yin has been following Lan? That is the safest way.

"Understood, thank you." Cheng Xiao looked back at the vegetation in front of him. He seemed to have seen a familiar plant in a certain school just now, but he was not sure, so he didn't stretch it out... Although the thing really looked like it It is a kind of tree mushroom, but in this last days where all things are mutating to survive and constantly evolving, the principle of seeing is believing is really not feasible...

The alien race who opened the way ahead stopped, and after a few simple instructions, the team was divided into several groups, and each of them began to quickly collect food in this area that had been marked by the alien race.

Cheng Xiao was pulled by Lin Ye and followed behind Lan, Qing was not far ahead to investigate the dangerous situation that would appear all the time, and Lan was protecting these humans to prevent them from being affected by mutated plants or small animals. The attack of the beast.

Lin Ye held a thick and long wooden stick in his hand to search for edible plants among the bushes, and a machete was tightly tied to the front of the stick. This is a self-made weapon that is very popular among humans.After all, good weapons will be given priority to alien races, because even if humans are given a war knife, they may not be able to cut through the hard skin of fierce beasts... and the distinctive sharp dagger in Cheng Xiao's hand, all the way It also attracted the attention of many other humans.

Lan is generous, and Qing also secretly glanced at the dagger. In today's shortage of weapons, it is rare for a foreigner to give up his self-defense equipment... Now Lan only has a saber left, which is equivalent to giving up his own self-defense equipment. The successor gave it to this human being.

Cheng Xiao imitated Lin Ye, lowered his body as much as possible, searched for familiar-looking plants in the bushes, and slowly moved towards the big fungus tree mushroom he saw before, although he didn't know that it could I can't eat it, but seeing that Lan doesn't seem to want to stop himself from walking over, there shouldn't be any danger...

But Lin Ye turned a blind eye to that plant, is it because it has been confirmed that it is not edible?But he has already collected the main ingredient, red berries, which are eaten together with the big fungus tree mushroom...

"Is that plant edible?" Cheng Xiao asked in a low voice.

"What plant?" Lin Ye raised his head. He just picked a few red berries, which can barely be stuffed between his teeth. The staple food still needs to continue to search.

Cheng Xiao pointed in the direction of the big fungus tree mushroom.

"Oh, that thing that looks like a mushroom? It's inedible, it's poisonous." Lin Ye said lightly, obviously not the first time he saw this kind of plant, but at the end, he still reminded Cheng Xiao, "I didn't believe it before. , After cooking it, I tried to feed it to a little beast, and it died soon.”

That kind of plant does look like non-toxic food, but there are several exiled humans who died because of it, just because it is not as aggressive as other mutated plants, so the alien race did not stop them from approaching, but if To pick, you will be reminded.

Cooked directly?Cheng Xiao glanced at the red berries in Lin Ye's hand, and then at the plump tree mushroom... So, the way to eat is also very important, Cheng Xiao decided to collect a small basket, whether it can be eaten or not Try again.

"This is coniferous grass, which has a very good hemostatic effect. I didn't expect to find it here!" Ning Yin's voice was full of surprise, and she raised her head and smiled at Tong Lan in a crisp and melodious way.

Cheng Xiao walked towards the large tree mushroom without a word, and at this moment, he still let out a clear laugh, isn't it inviting a beast...

The foreign race glanced at the silver plant in the human's hand blankly, then looked away lightly.

Ning Yin kept smiling, but she couldn't help but look a little embarrassed.

"What are you going to do?" A cold voice rang in his ears, and Cheng Xiao realized that the foreign race was talking to him.

He has only taken a small step, this alien is too sensitive...
