Chapter 71 Caterpillar
Beyond the desert lies barren grassland.
Crossing the Gobi Desert, one can see endless greenery as far as the eye can see.
There are no waves in the sea of grass, and the breeze blows on your face.
With blue sky, green grass and faint smoke, the scenery of the grassland is full of poetry and painting.
The poetry can only be understood, and the painting can only be seen from a distance. If you get closer and smell it, it will be the heady aroma of beef.
Barbeque is delicious, but not everyone can eat it.
If the meat of the burned cow enters the stomach, ordinary people will die instantly.
Yunji was lying leisurely on the grass, chewing beef, with a glass of wine in his hand, feeling lazy and comfortable.
Not far away is a layer of flame sand, and minced beef is roasted on the sand.
The smoke rises and the aroma of meat overflows.
It was already the third day after entering the grassland, and the beef roasted with flame sand on the grassland was the last burnt cow.
Hundreds of monsters turned into dried meat, filling the storage bag to the brim.
"This will last for several years. The meat of the burnt beef is really delicious and chewy."
Yun Ji praised the delicious taste of beef jerky.
During the three-day trip to the grassland, Yunji did nothing else but slaughtered hundreds of burning cattle.
It's troublesome to drive cattle, but it's better to make dry food. Burnt beef jerky can be used as a substitute for shrimp slices. It can not only satisfy the hunger, but also offset the coldness of the sword. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
Looking at the quality, the dried meat was almost done. Yunji put away the flame sand and beef, chose a direction and walked stridingly.
Across the grassland is the territory of Jiyun Kingdom, but Yunji's route has deviated from Jiyun and is heading towards the depths of the grassland.
It's not that I lost my way, but I did it on purpose.
There is no rush to go to Jiyun.
Hundreds of the most powerful burning cows were turned into dried meat. The conspiracy of the Tianmang Chamber of Commerce was already difficult to work. Moreover, Feng Hai with the Red Demon Sheep was not even a little bit worse than his second uncle Feng Yuanliang. If even Feng Hai was
When all the dandies can succeed, Jiyun's national destiny will be too weak.
Although he is the Ji King, Yunji does not have the slightest fondness for the Jiyun royal family.
This time we changed the route to go deeper into the grassland, Yunji had only one purpose.
Greedy Wolf Department.
As one of the largest tribes on the grassland, the Tanlang Tribe must have many experts. Yunji planned to find out the true and false status of the Tanlang Tribe on this trip to see how powerful this grassland tribe is.
The main culprit that caused the destruction of the Yu family, the Tanlang tribe, the great enemy, must be eliminated sooner or later.
Stop and go and look at the scenery.
The scenery of the grassland is much better than that of the desert. You can occasionally encounter some woods and hills, and most of the area is flat and flat.
Although it is a grassland, there are also many dangerous places.
For example, there is a swamp hidden deep in the grass. If you accidentally fall in, you will never be able to get out.
There are also streams flowing on the grassland. They seem clear but are extremely deep. Those who don't know how to swim can easily drown.
If you encounter a particularly dense jungle, it is best to avoid it. The monsters on the grassland like to live in the forest.
The most dangerous thing is actually a special kind of grass forest.
The words grassland and forest don't seem to go together, but they blend together perfectly in Tianmang grassland. It refers to a very special area. The weeds here are wide and strong, taller than trees, and range in size.
It is extremely wide, with layers upon layers of grassy forests, strange and dangerous.
There are many kinds of monsters entrenched in Tianmang Grassland, most of them are ferocious and can be found everywhere. The place with the most monsters is the grassy forest.
At this time, Yunji was standing in a forest of weeds, looking up at a caterpillar crawling on the tall grass.
The caterpillar is about three feet long, covered in dark green with blue hairs. It has a curved and bowed shape and crawls slowly and clumsily.
"What a fat caterpillar!"
Yunji sighed. He often caught caterpillars to play with when he was a child. He had never seen such a big caterpillar before.
The vegetation that the giant caterpillar climbed was slightly curved, and it crawled to the top of the cloud.
There was a snap sound.
I don't know if the caterpillar failed to catch it properly or if it was done deliberately, it fell from the grass and fell directly into Yunji's arms.
It's fluffy, meaty, cool, but a little prickly.
Yunji thought the caterpillar felt good and he liked it very much. Of course, the caterpillar was even happier because it had food again.
The giant caterpillar's head suddenly split open, revealing a terrifying mouth. Even though the caterpillar's body is not very big, this mouth can easily swallow living creatures two or three times larger than its body.
Seeing that the insect's mouth full of fine teeth was about to swallow it, Yunji pinched it with his hand, and the head of the giant caterpillar was instantly frozen, leaving only the body and tail twisting wildly.
Carrying the newly caught plaything, Yunji walked into this strange forest.
…
Somewhere in the forest, there is an old tree, whether it has been gnawed by insects or has been decayed for many years. It is covered with holes. These holes form the shape of stairs, allowing people to climb up.
A tall wild wolf was wandering next to the grass and trees, its dark eyes staring at a skinny girl above the grass and trees.
The girl was less than ten years old. Her hair was messy and her face was pale. Her hands were tightly grasping the edge of the grass and trees, and her eyes were full of panic.
The withered grass she relies on for shelter is about to collapse, and if she falls, she will become a wolf's food.
The wolves on the grassland are the most ferocious. Not only are they tall in size, but their bite force is even more amazing. In the forest outside, the grassland wolves dare to fight between lions and tigers. A grassland girl with no cultivation will have no way of surviving if she falls into the mouth of a wolf.
The girl knew that she would not be able to escape today, but she was too strong not to shed tears.
She went into the grassy forest to collect medicine.
Her mother-in-law passed away, and she and her father depended on each other for life. However, not long ago, her father suffered from a cold and fell ill, and now he is dying.
There are no medical clinics or apothecaries on the grassland, and doctors and doctors who treat illnesses and save lives are rarely seen. It would be better if it was a large tribe, but like the small tribe where the girl is, if you get seriously ill, you can only wait to die.
But she was unwilling to do so.
She heard that there was a magical elixir in the dangerous grassy forest that could cure all diseases, so the girl took the risk to search for it. However, she failed to find the elixir and was instead targeted by a lone wolf.
Crunch, crunch.
The dead vegetation was unable to support itself and sounded like it was about to break.
The big wolf on the ground is no longer wandering around, but is squatting in one place, waiting for the prey to fall into the trap, with fluid flowing from the wolf's fangs.
"Dad, I'm sorry, Xiaolu'er is useless..."
The girl closed her eyes in despair.
The moment she was waiting for death, she heard singing.
The singing was loud and clear with a sense of laziness, from far to near.
Climbing the hills leads to greater swamps.
Driving cattle and sheep, running around.
My sister is knitting straw sandals. Leather jackets are the warmest.
Take the grassland, the greater the desert.
Stay in an inn and sleep in a thatched cottage.
The Han Demon wears human skin, but the Sword Demon is the most wretched.
As soon as the singing stopped, the girl heard a surprised sound coming from her feet.
"Huh? This caterpillar is actually humanoid!"
As soon as the girl opened her eyes, the world suddenly started to spin, the dead leaves finally collapsed, and she fell from a height. She was so frightened that she quickly closed her eyes again.
With a pop, the girl felt herself being caught. Before she could open her eyes, she felt someone pinched her face.
"It's dry and skinny, but it doesn't hurt your hands. You little insect doesn't look good when you look at the food."
The girl's eyes suddenly opened. Above her head was a delicate face, looking at her with a hint of curiosity. She kindly grabbed a half-dead giant caterpillar and said to her: "Here, eat it to replenish your body."
"I'm a little deer, not a little insect." The girl timidly defended herself, and her face turned even whiter with fright when faced with the giant caterpillar.
