The correct way to cultivate poros

Chapter 338 Stonescale Fruit

Less than half of the disciples passed the first round of trials. After everyone had assembled, Master Shi led them to the location of the next round of trials.

They came to a mountain stream, and they could hear the sound of rushing water coming from below.Zell looked at the snow cover on the top of the mountain. If there is no accident, the river in the mountain stream is formed by the melting of the snow mountain.

Are you going to swim?Sakura thought when she heard the sound of water.

Although it doesn't know anything about swimming like most Poro, but it is not outstanding in this respect. The only advantage may be that it is not afraid of cold water?If you really want to test swimming, it may not be better than others.

Just as Sakura was hesitating, Master Shi said: "The content of this round of trials is to retrieve the stone scale fruit from the mountain stream. The mountain stream is very steep. You need to use the hidden weapon you got from the previous round to cut the rope, trigger the mechanism and put down the pedal." There is a foothold, and if you can't hold on and fall into the water, you will be eliminated."

The disciples wailed at once, why didn't they say this earlier, the hidden weapons were exhausted in the first round just now, how are they going to pass the trial now.

And Xiao Ying listened to their voices, and realized belatedly that she had taken a big advantage by not throwing darts like others before.

"Hurry up, those who haven't come back before noon will be considered as disqualified." As soon as Master Shi opened his mouth, the group of disciples didn't dare to say anything, and turned towards the direction of the mountain stream.

Sakura also followed, standing on the edge of the mountain stream and looking down, feeling dizzy from the height.

Obviously, the height is not much different from the valley. When I first climbed the cliff, I didn't feel high, but here I feel that it is scary.

There is a fast-moving river under the mountain stream, and the cliffs on both sides are as steep as Master Shi said, bare and without a single branch growing.

The only place they can land is the pedal embedded in the cliff over there, but the pedal is suspended by the rope and needs to be cut to lower it.

Seeing that someone has already groped down several meters, Xiao Ying also carried her bag and slowly moved down. The mountain stream has a slope that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.

As soon as she moved down a few steps, Sakura felt that the bag behind her was pulling it down, making it want to throw down the heavy cloth bag full of irons.But when he thought that the things inside would be useful later, he gritted his teeth and endured it. Fortunately, the adsorption force it produced was enough to bear the weight of himself and the kit.

Suddenly there was a scream from the side, and a disciple stepped on the ground and fell suddenly.He dug his fingers into the cracks in the rock, but he still couldn't find a suitable foothold for his toes. His body was suspended in the air only by his fingers, and soon he couldn't hold on and fell into the icy cold river. The flow of water washed away.

In this round, there is no senior brother or sister to cover the bottom. If you fall, you have to rush back from the mountain wet.

His failure persuaded some unprepared disciples to leave. They didn't have enough hidden weapons at hand, and their bodies suffered a lot of injuries in the first round. An embarrassing underdog.

Sakura came to the top of the first pedal, but the rock wall around the pedal was artificially smoothed, even if it wanted to stick to it, it would slip easily.The correct solution is to cut off the rope connected to the pedal and let it go down, and then jump from above.

The adsorption force produced by qigong and the suction cup are two completely different things. It does not make itself firmly stuck to it by generating negative pressure, but strengthens the strength of the joints through the blessing of qi, and digs the fingers into the rock. The whole body can be hooked with one finger, so the rough rock wall is better than the smooth one.

It shifted the kit to the front to bite, reached out and took out a dart from it.At this time, the dart will be more useful than the kunai, because it has a larger cutting surface when it rotates, unlike the kunai, which only has a point at the tip to cut the rope.

Tiantian and Jie played the game of receiving darts, and Sakura was also familiar with this kind of hidden weapon, previewing a few times with one hand, the dart was released, and the rope snapped.

The pedal was put down with a bang, Sakura let go of it without thinking, and landed on the board safely.

The area of ​​the pedal is about one level, embedded in the cliff like a small platform.Sakura leaned her head to the edge of the pedal, looking down for the so-called stone scale fruit.

Before that, it didn't know what the so-called stone scale fruit looked like, and Zell helped to find it after looking for a long time.Close to the stone wall grows something similar to Sakyamuni fruit. There are regular circles of protrusions on the peel that look like snake scales, and the color is similar to the rock. It's hard to find if you don't look carefully.

After looking around, the stone scale fruit that is most suitable for picking is still three steps away from Sakura, and the distance between each block is at least ten meters.The rest of the ones that are closer have either already been reached first, or there is no pedal next to it and it is too dangerous to pick them up.Anyway, the number of stone scale fruits should be enough, and it doesn't need to compete with others.

Fortunately, when Sakura opened the third pedal, she found a stone scale fruit growing in the crack of the rock covered by the pedal. many.

But it underestimated how difficult it is to pick this kind of fruit. The fruit is deeply embedded in the rock cracks, which is harder to pick than the barnacles on the reef.Xiao Ying scratched and bit, tossing and tossing for a long time until she was so tired that she was out of breath, but it still remained motionless.

"Try prying it out with a tool," Zell suggested.

Because Zell was talking to Sakura through the tome, so it couldn't read his general thoughts. As a Poro, it didn't quite understand the meaning of this action.Poro are not wild boars, they have the habit of digging up plant roots from the snow to eat.

Seeing Sakura tilting her head in a daze, Zell explained patiently and in detail, but Sakura didn't understand well, so she tried to pry it with her horns, and almost got her head stuck in the crevice of the rock.

"See if you have any kunai in your bag, it's easier to pry with that thing."

Now it finally understood, took out a handful of kunai from the kit, smashed and pried at the rhizome of the stone scale fruit, and finally got the fruit off.

Looking at other people, many of them were stumped by the stone scale fruit growing firmly in the stone wall. They needed to grab the stone wall with one hand and use the other hand to dig the fruit, and their feet were still tight due to the inclination. It can't bear much weight, and if you are not careful, you will miss and fall.

Only those fruits that grow near the pedals are really easy to pick, otherwise how can we use our strength without a focus?It can only be that the design of this level is too hellish.

There is no need for Zeldo to say anything next, it stuffs the fruit into the kit bag, carries it behind its back and returns the same way.
