Interstellar Gardener Life

Chapter 398 Old Clam—————————————————

The autumn wind is rustling and the blue waves are sparkling.

The boundless lake reflects the setting sun, the swaying reeds are dark green, and the leaf tips have begun to wither and turn yellow.Occasionally, a fish jumped out of the water, and in a blink of an eye, it smashed back into the water with a "plop", splashing a handful of fine golden beads, leaving circles of ripples.The ripples gradually rippled away, and disappeared in endless waves after a while.

In the midst of this tranquility, in the water 60 to [-] meters offshore, a string of bubbles scrambled to the surface and burst open on the surface of the water.

Zhou Xinguang stood straddling the wooden trestle bridge on the shore, clenched his teeth and stared at the string of bubbles.His face gradually turned red, until it was flushed red, and then began to fade to pale again.

Both Bai Xin and Bei Gen noticed it, and turned to look at Zhou Xinguang one after another.Jiang Ling also noticed it, but Jiang Ling didn't turn her head to look at Zhou Xinguang, but just stared at the string of bubbles like Zhou Xinguang—it was the exhalation of the mussel underwater.

The mussel passes through the gills, filters the water, obtains the oxygen dissolved in the water, and spits out carbon dioxide after being transformed by metabolism in the body.When inhaling, oxygen is dispersed in the water in a molecular state, and nothing can be seen; when exhaling, carbon dioxide is relatively concentrated, and as a result, bubbles will be released.

If the clam is disturbed, it will shrink its soft body and curl up into the shell. At this time, the bubbles spit out, including its previous accumulation, are naturally particularly concentrated.

In addition, the larger the clam, the stronger the breathing and the more bubbles.

So Zhou Xinguang's prey is really not small...

—— "Crash"!
The calm of the lake was broken, and something the size of a baby tub broke through the water and flew ashore.It flew lower and lower for the last distance, but finally managed to rush to the shore!

It's just an old clam.There must be pearls.

Jiang Ling smiled sincerely.Zhou Xinguang jumped up excitedly, looked back at a large stack of empty clamshells under the trestle bridge behind him - that was what he had harvested in the past few days - said happily: "This is the biggest!" Quickly slide across the ridge of the clam, find the right place by hand, and poke it in hard: cut off the spinal muscle.

The clam shells opened at the sound.

Zhou Xinguang reached in, groped inside the clam meat for a while, picked out a small piece, and picked it off: "This one is not small!" He put it on the ground and continued to touch it.

He is extremely proficient in doing this, and he is the number one among the four present.Because with his mental strength, it is not easy to "raise" a blue-patterned clam from the bottom of tens of meters, tens of meters or even hundreds of meters.So he needs the most rest time.Although Jiang Ling, Bai Xin, and Bei Gen have two projects, they still have less burden than Zhou Xinguang.

As a result, Zhou Xinguang couldn't stay idle, and while he was resting, he opened Jiang Ling's mussels... thus he practiced a good skill.

……

Jiang Ling squatted down and picked up the pearl to have a look: it was not small, but it was oblate in shape and dark pink in color.However, these pearls are in great demand for medicinal purposes, and the quality is good if the quantity is sufficient, and there is no need to pay attention to the color and shape.

Of course, if it has a good color and shape, it doesn't necessarily have to be eaten by people.The latter, Zhou Xinguang, saved a small amount and planned to go back and make a brooch or hair accessory for Xu Jing.String necklaces are not enough.

Not enough yet.

Jiang Ling tossed the pearl in her hand, watched Zhou Xinguang busy quietly, and did not frown at the death in front of her.Jiang Ling has not forgotten - the scene when he killed the first hare is still vivid in his mind, as clear as if it was just a few minutes ago.But Jiang Ling has become used to it: the strong prey on the weak, the reason is this...

What she has to do, what she can do, is to become strong!
……

Because Zhou Xinguang broke his own record again, that is to say, he made some progress, both Bai Xin and Bei Gen congratulated Zhou Xinguang.Zhou Xinguang was also tired and couldn't continue. After picking the pearls, he dried the mussel meat on the railing of the trestle bridge and kicked the clam shells under the trestle bridge. He simply had a few warm words with them.

Jiang Ling just looked at this scene with a smile and didn't say anything; when the short entertainment was over, she said to Zhou Xinguang: "You haven't got all the things you need for your medicinal bath—Tang Ni said I found another taste in the morning, but there are still four things missing, so you can't be too tired... let's call it a day, shall we?"

Zhou Xinguang nodded his head, his eyes were calm and clear, he looked at Jiang Ling, and gave Jiang Ling a wink from an angle that the other two couldn't see: "Then I'll go back first? I just went to have some snacks. Do you want to keep it for you?" "

Jiang Ling nodded and scolded with a smile: "Could it be that you have finished eating so much?" Then said: "Wait a minute, Joyana should have come by this time, as usual - she will send you back."

Zhou Xinguang was helpless: "Oh!" Although he was helpless, he knew the severity and did not protest. He packed up the pearls, turned around and walked towards the pergola at the end of the trestle bridge, and left a sentence to Jiang Ling: "I think you should be more careful Go yourself—there's not even a shadow of your medicated bath!"

The medicated bath is just a cover up, this guy is worried about other things.

Jiang Ling understood, so Jiang Ling smiled and responded with a smile.

The medicinal baths used by practitioners of different levels have very different recipes and ingredients.There are several main ingredients in the same grade, but different grades are completely different.

So the medicinal materials that Zhou Xinguang needs are the simplest ones here.From summer to autumn, the miniature mechas searched and collected around. In addition, the place where Bald and the others went for the first time was far away. When they saw the logo on the recorder on the road, they naturally picked it up.That's it, it's almost done.

Jiang Ling's will not work.The six main ingredients are already there—Mace took extra care, went to pick up Gillan once and added the last dispatch, luckily, that's all.But more than half of the auxiliary materials are still missing: some are nearby, but they are limited by seasonality and have to wait until winter or spring; some are regional, which is even more troublesome.

So everyone is not counting on it.Of course, I won't let it go if I meet it.

As for Bai Xin's and Dongming's, the hopes for each are slimmer than the other.

And finally Donnie and Joanna's.They can't afford to use it even if they have it all together - the main ingredient of the general formula of the fifth-level physical medicine medicinal bath is the same: Baishi.

Of course, here, the amount of white stone is very small.

However, this is still too extravagant!
*********
Just like the previous eleven days, Joyana's time really came.They spent three to five minutes chatting briefly, talking about each other's situation today, without much delay: two went back, and three continued.

Zhou Xinguang would leave early every day, never lagging behind Bai Xin and Bei Gen.

This is no coincidence.

Jiang Ling had roughly figured out what Bai Xin and Bei Gen were doing.She decides to do it once and for all... she will count on it!
But Jiang Ling was somewhat sure of getting away by herself, but not sure about protecting Zhou Xinguang.So the two agreed to do so.

It just so happened that Zhou Xinguang's mental strength was at the late stage of the sixth level, although he was gradually reaching the peak, he was still the weakest among the four. As a result, everything was just right, naturally, without any flaws.

Bergen's situation is similar to that of Ude.In the past few years, his health was also not good, but his mental strength had already reached the eleventh level.In the end, he couldn't even come to the "playground", because if his mental power went up to a higher level but his physical skills stayed the same, it would be over, even his health would be ruined—five levels of mental power plus zero level of physical strength Surgery equals terminal illness!Although it is not fatal, you have to spend your life carefully. One negligence, the body can't bear it, and you will go to the hospital.

At this point, it has to be said that Ude's luck is better than Begen's.At least he doesn't have to stay at home.

However, Beigen has now reached the third level of physical skills, and has gotten rid of the shackles.Therefore, Begen has a lot of expectations for this trip to the "playground"-be careful that the long-suppressed ambition suddenly erupts.

At this time, as soon as Zhou Xinguang and Joyana left, Bei Gen suggested: "There are a lot of pearls today, let's change the program earlier?"

Bai Xin immediately nodded in agreement, and Jiang Ling also nodded.

They're going to kill stone skin crocodiles.
