Practice starts from a small soldier

Chapter 16

The peak of Tianzhu Peak is extremely flat and can be seen at a glance.

Ten meters away, Zhang Qi saw a bird's nest, a giant bird's nest bigger than the beacon tower he was guarding.

Converted into an area, at least fifty or sixty square meters.

At this moment, three heads protruded from the giant bird's nest, staring at him with big round eyes.

These heads are so big... they cannot be stewed in one pot.

Judging from the exposed head, it should be some kind of bird creature, with no hair on the head, which means it is a baby bird.

"Chickoo! Chickoo! Chickoo!"

The strange sounds he heard just now were made by these huge chicks.

Zhang Qi raised his head and looked towards the sky. The chicks left in the nest were so huge, so how huge and terrifying were their parents.

Fortunately, there is nothing in the sky.

But the parents of these chicks will come back at any time, in order not to become a pile of bird droppings, Zhang Qi decided...

and many more!

Just a few meters away from him, he unexpectedly saw a plant of North Mang Ginseng, the white jade-colored leaves were crystal clear, shining charmingly under the sunlight, dazzled his eyes.

The older the North Mang ginseng, the lighter and clearer the leaf color.

The plant in front of me looks like an old ginseng over a hundred years old.

"Century-year-old North Mang Ginseng, taking it can cure all diseases and even prolong life. It is a royal tribute that is priceless..."

Zhang Qi recalled Shen Weng's words and decided to give it a go.

The three chicks not far away, although they are huge, are not easy to mess with at first sight, but as long as they don't get close to the nest, they should be fine. The only thing that worries him is the big adult bird that will return to the nest at any time.

Looked at the sky again.

Make sure there is no danger.

Then Zhang Qi stooped, came to the northern ginseng plant, took out the medicine hoe, and started digging.

The peak is made of a whole piece of rock, which is extremely hard.

The roots of this Beiman mountain were deeply embedded in the rock, and the medicine hoe in his hand was dug up, and only a small part was dug out.

Most are still buried deep in the rock.

Zhang Qi threw away the scrapped medicine hoe, took out his short spear, and continued digging.

It took nearly an hour before he dug out the North Mang ginseng with roots over [-] centimeters long.

Judging from the densely packed roots, this North Mang ginseng must be more than a hundred years old.

"Get rich!"

Zhang Qi chuckled, and put the North Mang ginseng into the basket.

I have to say that he was really lucky. Not only did he find a ginseng that was more than a century old at the top of the peak, but also during the process of digging the ginseng, except for the three onlookers, he was not disturbed during the whole process. .

"I don't know what kind of bird this is, it's so big?"

Zhang Qi looked at the three chicks in the nest again, and was amazed for a while. Then, he suddenly noticed that the nest was not only big, but also made of golden wood and silver grass.

A proper golden nest and silver nest.

Zhang Qi didn't know the origin of the wood emitting a faint golden light, but he seemed familiar with the grass emitting a silver-white light.

"Looks like iron wire grass?"

Zhang Qi gasped. If the bird's nest was really made of iron wire grass, how much iron wire grass would be used, enough to last him eighteen lifetimes.

It's a pity that the distance is a bit far, and he can't see clearly, so he can't be sure whether it is the iron wire grass or not.

Zhang Qi moved his feet, ready to take a closer look.

"Cuckoo!"

At this moment, the three chicks in the nest suddenly waved their bare wings, opened their mouths, and screamed excitedly towards the sky.

"Big Bird is back!"

A thought flashed in Zhang Qi's mind, before he had time to think about it, he rushed to the edge of the cliff, and then jumped.

"Chirp!"

Just ten seconds later, a huge golden bird with incomparable majesty descended from the sky, and landed right on the spot where Zhang Qi jumped off the cliff. The silver eagle eyes gleamed with killing intent.

The big golden bird looked down the cliff.

All I saw was an empty rope, swaying in the wind...

"so close!"

Zhang Qi huddled in a rock crevice, not daring to take a breath.

Fortunately, he had made a sliding rope that could go up and down quickly, so that he could escape from the top of the cliff immediately, otherwise, it would be really dangerous.

It was even more dangerous than being ambushed by dog ​​soldiers last time.

Although he didn't even see what Big Bird looked like, his intuition told him that he would really be killed instantly.

Waited for half an hour.

After hearing the sound of the big bird fluttering its wings and flying away, Zhang Qi hesitated for a while, then carefully drilled out of the rock crevice, and then climbed down the mountain without looking back.

slip away.

Iron wire grass or something, we'll talk about it later.

When Zhang Qi climbed to the foot of the mountain, it was completely dark.

He sat down on the ground, as tired as a dog.

Yu Zimao walked over and looked at him with a look of surprise on his face, "Brother Dake, you actually stayed up there for eight hours, you are really a god."

Ordinary ginseng collectors can only stay up there for two hours before they have to come down.

He only persisted for more than three hours, but because of exhaustion and cold body, he had to hurry down the mountain.

"Eight hours?"

Zhang Qi didn't expect that he would last so long.

Of course, if he didn't rely on red blood ginseng to continuously replenish his blood, he wouldn't be able to last for such a long time.

[Vigor and blood: 3.6 (currently 1.3)]

Zhang Qi took the time to look at the panel, only to find that his upper blood limit had unknowingly increased by 0.1.From this point of view, the effect of red blood ginseng is not only to restore qi and blood, but also has the opportunity to increase the upper limit of qi and blood.

"You've been on it for so long, I'm afraid you've gained a lot."

Yu Zijian pretended to be reserved and said: "My luck is mediocre, today I only dug up a ginseng plant, which is exactly 50 years old."

Hearing this, Zhang Qi suddenly laughed.

There was actually someone Versailles in front of him, hehe, this is the rest of his playing back then.

"Brother Ziyan, I have better luck than you."

Zhang Qi replied: "I dug up two ginseng plants today, one of which is 15 years old."

Hearing this, Yuzi smiled slightly.

Zhang Qi continued: "I don't know the year of the other plant."

"Oh? How come you don't know the year."

Yu Zijian was puzzled and said: "As many roots grow in Beiman Mountain, there are as many years as there are. If you don't count them, you will know everything."

"I know that too."

Zhang Qi sighed: "But, there are too many roots on that ginseng plant, I couldn't count it for a long time... Hey, brother Ziyan, why did you leave?"

……

This ginseng gathering lasted for three full days.

The next day, Zhang Qi climbed Tianzhu Peak again. Unfortunately, he was unlucky and only found some wild Ganoderma lucidum which was not very valuable, not even a single North Mang Ginseng.

On the third day, he simply broke down and rested at the foot of the mountain for a day.

As for Yuroe, apart from picking a 50-year-old North Mang ginseng from the mountain on the first day, it was also ruined in the next two days.

During these three days, although there were no accidents such as ghosts and beasts.However, several ginseng pickers accidentally stumbled and fell to their deaths from the cliff, and one even fell into meat sauce, which was very miserable.

Fourth day.

Everyone finished gathering ginseng and set foot on their way home.
