Chapter 42: Prepare
Xie Sen felt that the strange timing and location of the Wild Mang Forest were too coincidental, but it didn’t matter whether it was coincidence or not. Anyway, he had to go there regardless of whether it had anything to do with the red energy.
He asked Maine, “When are you going to go? I’ll go with you.”
Maine frowned and refused directly: “No, the forest is more dangerous the further you go, you can’t go,” he paused, like reassuring a child, and added, “I’ll be back as soon as possible.”
Xie Sen spread his hands: “I have to go, if I don’t go with you, I will go by myself,” he pointed to his right shoulder, “I said I was looking for something, it sensed, it is in the danger zone in the east of the wild forest. inside.”
Maine frowned slightly: “Is it related to this change?”
“I don’t know,” Xie Sen said as he walked towards the kitchen, “I’ll make dinner first and talk to you in detail later.”
Maine followed him into the kitchen: “I’ll help you.”
Xie Sen smiled, knowing that he was fine, so he didn’t stop him. Thinking of going to the forest, he was a little worried: “There are still six or seven hundred kilometers after leaving the city. Is there a way to quickly go to the dangerous area?”
“You can rent an aircraft, go from the sky to the destination, and then climb the traction ladder to land on the ground. This is the fastest way, but it will be dangerous.”
Xie Sen sounds very reliable: “Is it very demanding for personal physique, afraid of falling down midway?”
The movement of Maine’s hand paused slightly, and some wanted to laugh: “If you can’t even do this, going to the forest is basically a death sentence. What I’m talking about is the danger that animals may be attacked at any time during the descent, not only birds. , and all kinds of animals with strong bouncing power and huge size, such as giant pythons.”
“In addition to the danger during the descent, due to the direct landing in the danger zone, the situation below is unknown, and the safety after the descent is not guaranteed.”
Xie Sen was frightened when he heard it, but when he thought of what Adan had said—he had a natural aura, he didn’t take the initiative to attack animals, they wouldn’t attack him, and he felt relieved.
“Is there any other way?”
Main said: “Apart from this, there are only flying contracted beasts. However, in order to ensure safety, each contracted beast will only ride the beast owner and one guest, and the speed is one-tenth of the flying machine.”
Xie Sen thought about flying on the back of the bird without any cover, and shook his head hurriedly. Watching TV felt great, but in fact, the airflow generated during the flight would definitely kill people.
If it is not grasped firmly and accidentally blown down, it will be really miserable.
“Let’s rent an aircraft…isn’t it expensive?” he asked.
“It’s not expensive, 50,000 a day, and 100,000 is enough for us to go back and forth,” Maine said. “In addition to transportation, we also need to prepare medicine, food, and some tools, and we can leave in a few days.”
Xie Sen counted the time: “It’s your birthday in seven days, why don’t you go after your birthday?”
He is also taking advantage of these few days to collect energy, so that he can protect himself when he enters the forest.
Maine pondered for a moment: “Alright.”
After the meal, Xie Sen contacted Sun Mao and asked to work overtime tomorrow so that he could be transferred next week. Sun Mao directly agreed and gave a few words of praise.
Maine was sitting on the sofa, and the coffee table was full of various small parts, assembling them attentively.
Xie Sen didn’t bother him, went back to the bedroom to turn on the system, thought about it, and exchanged one meter of watermelon vine.
He must understand the characteristics of watermelon vines, as well as availability and combat effectiveness, so that he can respond quickly in actual combat.
He summoned the watermelon vine, and the one-meter-long dark green vine was straight in front of him, with a big round watermelon hanging in the middle.
Xie Sen’s eyes lit up, he swallowed silently, recalling the system prompt, the key word of watermelon vine is toughness, he gave an order and formed a circle.
The watermelon vines immediately changed from straight lines to end to end in front of him, forming a circle.
He then ordered various orders such as coiling into a scented shape, fancy knotting, etc. When tying complicated knots, the watermelon vines started to do very slowly, and after a few practice, they became very fast.
Xie Sen smiled with satisfaction, and turned his eyes to the water glass on the bedside table: “Tie the water glass and lift it up.”
The watermelon vine quickly flew to the bedside table. With a ‘bang’, the watermelon hanging from the vine slammed into the door of the cabinet. A crack was immediately cracked in the middle of the round watermelon, revealing the red flesh.
The watermelon vine didn’t notice anything wrong, and meticulously completed Xie Sen’s instructions, tied the water glass to Xie Sen, shook it, and the watermelon juice flowed all over the place.
Xie Sen felt the pain in his flesh and quickly held the watermelon. Before he could move, the watermelon fell off the watermelon vine and fell into his hands.
Xie Sen tapped the watermelon with his fingers, making sure that it was the same as the one growing in the ground.
As for melon vines, he has a lot of ideas in his mind, but he has requirements for length. He currently has not much energy left, so he is not going to try it for the time being.
After thinking about it carefully, he couldn’t help laughing. The melon and vine are very tough. As long as it is not broken by a sharp weapon, there is almost no loss. It saves energy than pepper as a weapon.
And give a watermelon for one energy, it’s really great!
He recalled the melon vine, happily took the watermelon out, and divided the melon into two halves, one half of which was put in the refrigerator, and the other half was divided into two parts. He and Maine were each half.
“Take a break and eat something delicious.” Xie Sen handed the watermelon to Main.
Maine went to wash his hands, then took it, looked at it for a moment and asked, “What is this?”
“Watermelon, eat the red part in the middle and spit out the black seeds.” After Xie Sen finished speaking, he took a big bite, the sweet watermelon juice filled his mouth, and a faint sweet smell came into his nose.
too delicious! Xie Sen was so moved that he wanted to cry. Since the end of the world, he hasn’t eaten watermelon for a long time.
He didn’t care to speak, gnawed his head, and ate a quarter of the melons in one breath, slumped on the sofa and touched his stomach: “Good support, satisfied!”
He tilted his head to look at Maine, who was eating a little slower than him and was still eating.
Xie Sen looked at the prompt of Energy 2 in front of him and couldn’t help but be surprised. In the past few days, Maine gave him 3 energy every morning. Today, adding these 2 energy, Maine gave him 5 energy in one day.
Maine followed Xie Sen’s way of eating, leaving the green skin of the melon and eating all the flesh, and looked at Xie Sen with bright eyes: “It’s very delicious!”
Xie Sen has no doubts about his evaluation, so he gave him 2 energy! Enough for two watermelons.
Xie Sen said with a smile: “There’s still half of it, eat it tomorrow.”
Maine asked: “This… is also the fruit of your contract beast?”
Xie Sen nodded: “Yes.”
Maine looked at the melon rind on the table, picked it up and smelled it: “It’s still very fragrant, can’t you eat this?”
Xie Sen patted his head, what time is it, he still remembered not to eat melon rind, melon rind is also a good thing here!
He has heard of the dessert of cold melon rind, but he has never eaten or made it, but this fully shows that melon rind can be eaten.
He picked up his leftover melon rind: “I’m full now, I’ll deal with it tomorrow and see how I can eat it.”
Maine handed him the melon rind in his hand: “I’m full too.”
“啾~” Tuantuan flew in from the window, flew straight to Maine, pecked at his wrist, Maine’s hand pulled back, it pecked on the skin of the melon, pulled out the bird’s beak, and cheerfully “chirp~ “A sound.
Then, as if its neck was on a motor, it frantically pecked at the skin of the melon.
Maine withdrew his hand and looked at it badly: “This is not for you.”
“啾~” Tuantuan stared at the melon rind, flew over to try to eat it, but was dodged by Maine.
Xie Sen was a little embarrassed. If one day someone told him that melon rind would be so popular, he would definitely not believe it.
He took the melon rind from Maine’s hand in a funny way and put it in the corner of the coffee table: “You can only eat so much, don’t steal it.”
Tuantuan nodded, flew to the corner of the coffee table, and ate snacks that were extremely delicious to him.
Xie Sen took the melon skin to the kitchen, scraped off the eaten layer with a knife, washed the rest, put it in a bowl, and put it in the refrigerator.
When he returned to the living room, Maine had cleaned the coffee table and was packing his parts.
“What are you doing?” Xie Sen asked.
“Unmanned probe.”
“Is it similar to the detector on Yuzhu Island?” Xie Sen was curious.
Main nodded: “I improved it, the detection distance is longer, and the anti-detection and camouflage system is used, which is not easy to be detected.”
Xie Sen didn’t know much about electronic products, and he sounded very powerful. He didn’t hide it, and praised directly: “You are amazing!”
Maine’s mouth curved slightly.
The next day, when Xie Sen cooked the broth in the morning, he added some watermelon rind, and found that it was unexpectedly delicious, the meaty smell was gone, and the soup still had a faint fragrance of the melon rind.
After he had eaten enough, he went to work overtime for the gold medal with satisfaction. After finishing the card, Sun Mao walked over with a playful expression: “There is a pile of gifts from you at the guard, I think you should stop working and just resell the gifts. ”
Xie Sen is helpless. The number of people who are attentive these days is gradually increasing. He is upset when he hears that someone is looking for gifts.
Sun Mao took a step closer and whispered: “I heard a piece of news, you are the plant-type beast master, is it true?”
Xie Sen looked at him and didn’t answer, Sun Mao smiled clearly: “No wonder there are so many suitors all of a sudden, and no wonder your animal affinity is so high.” His eyes lit up, “Can you sell me a red pepper?”
“No.” Xie Sen refused, he had to save energy into the forest.
Sun Mao sighed: “Could it be that you want to save all the fruits as a dowry?”
Xie Sen’s mouth twitched: “What the hell?”
“Just like the resource-based contracted beast, the output of the contracted beast has been saved since childhood, and then used as a dowry when married,” he said with curiosity in his eyes, and leaned in and whispered, “I don’t know Manager Yang. Have you done this before?”
“Manager Yang?” Xie Sen couldn’t help asking, “What is his contract beast?”
“Long-haired sheep, the clothes made of its wool are expensive and popular. Manager Yang’s partner is so lucky,” Sun Mao sighed and added, “Of course, your boyfriend is even luckier, red peppers are extinct. Plants, not even research institutes!”
“No wonder they all pursue you. Marrying you is equivalent to marrying a cornucopia! It’s still a cornucopia that can give birth to a group of cubs.”
Xie Sen has a black line: “I’m a male, give birth to a fart!”
“What are males afraid of? It’s great to hear that both male and female animal owners of the plant system can breed offspring.”
“No, I’m not, I’m the kind of male who can’t conceive offspring!” Xie Sen said firmly, and decided not to listen to Sun Mao’s nonsense anymore, who knows what exciting topics will be brought up.
After get off work, he contacted Bai Jiao on the way back to the apartment, and wanted to buy the anti-insect medicine and detoxification pills he applied to Bai Jiao last time.
After listening, Bai Jiao asked directly, “Are you going to the wild forest?”
Xie Sen did not hide: “Well.”
Bai Jiao said: “It’s a coincidence, I’m going to go too. There have been more and more reports about the strangeness in the depths of the forest in the past two days. Someone came out safely this afternoon and brought out a fruit. According to the Institute of Botany, it was an extinct medicinal material, Lycium barbarum. ,I am very interested.”
Bai Jiao asked, “How about we go together?”
Xie Sen hesitated for a moment: “It’s definitely better to have someone who knows medicine to follow, but I’m going to go with Maine. I can’t make a decision alone. I’ll ask him later.”
“It doesn’t matter,” Bai Jiao smiled, “I will mail you the medicine you want. As for the price, I would prefer to get a red pepper. I have checked the relevant literature and it has medicinal value.”
Xie Sen calculated: “Your medicines add up to at least several thousand. If you don’t feel that it is a loss, I will mail it to you.”
“Thank you.” Bai Jiao’s voice was excited.
When Xie Sen returned to the apartment, he saw two people in a group from a distance, Long Teng and Maine. Xu Da stood not far away, saw him, and waved to him.
Xie Sen walked over, Xu Da said: “A Teng went to special training for a few days, I thought he was progressing fast enough, but I didn’t expect Maine to be no less. Surprising.”
Xie Sen smiled, not wanting Xu Da to doubt Maine’s identity, and praised: “He has been working hard.”
Xu Da laughed: “Young people know that it’s a good thing to make progress. The two of them are short of finding a contract beast. After forming a contract, they can improve a lot.”
Having said this, he sighed: “Oh, I just watched the news the other day. I was studying potatoes and peppers and didn’t pay attention to the news.” He patted Xie Sen on the shoulder, “You guys If you encounter difficulties with money in the future, let me know.”
Xie Sen politely thanked him for his kindness.
After another 20 minutes, Maine and Long Teng stopped fighting. The two were tied. Long Teng smiled with his bright white teeth and hugged Maine’s shoulder: “You are amazing, how do you usually train?”
Maine patted his hand, and he put it on again with a curious look on his face.
Xie Sen answered his question aloud: “Main is trained by hunting.”
Long Teng tilted his head and looked at Maine suddenly: “No wonder you are so good at beating beasts,” he jumped in front of Xu Da, “Grandpa, I’m going hunting too.”
After he finished speaking, he said very quickly: “Right! Didn’t you tell me to go to the depths of the forest to find the flying dragon beast? It just so happens that I can hit it all the way!” He waved his arms as he spoke.
Xu Da slapped him on the back of the head: “Do you know how many kilometers it is from the edge of the desolate forest to the middle? If you hit it all the way, it’s good that you can save your life for a day.”
Long Teng covered the back of his head: “Grandpa, I’m very good!”
“Ignorance is very powerful.” Xu Da complained unceremoniously.
“Grandpa,” Long Teng was dissatisfied, “I understand.”
Xu Da ignored him, quickly followed Xie Sen into Main’s apartment, sat on the sofa and looked at Xie Sen, Xie Sen asked: “Master, is there anything?”
Xu Da smiled and said, “What did you eat in the morning? I smelled the aroma, sell me a little?”
Xie Sen laughed, what kind of nose is this!
He was thinking about how to fool him, and with a sound of “啾~”, the group flew to the coffee table in front of him, with a fingernail-sized melon rind on his claws. Wings, in a low voice, “chirp.”
Xie Sen’s mouth twitched, what does this mean? Tell him it’s finished?
“Hey,” Xu Da was surprised, “Is this a bald eagle?”
Xie Sen said: “It seems to be.”
“啾啾~” Tuantuan jumped on the table, flapped his wings and flew to the refrigerator, his claws grabbed the handle of the refrigerator, and turned back and shouted, “啾~”
Xie Sen touched his forehead, does it think that he has a melon rind every day?
“No more,” he said.
“Chirp!” Tuantuan flapped his wings and patted the refrigerator door. Obviously, he knew that there was still something in the refrigerator.
Xu Da sighed: “This kind of intelligence is undoubtedly a bald eagle,” his eyes became eager, “What did it just eat? There should be still in the refrigerator, right?”
Xie Sen was helpless, and finally took out the melon rind, gave a small piece to Tuan Tuan, and reminded: “This is the last piece, and there will be no more in the future.”
Looking at the melon rind, Tuantuan didn’t eat it immediately, but made a sad ‘chirp’.
Xu Da looked at the melon rind: “This is a watermelon? I want to buy it! It seems to be the rind. What about the melon flesh, should I buy it too?”
A silent Maine spoke up and said coldly, “Don’t sell it!”
Xie Sen is funny, it seems that Maine really likes watermelon.
Xu Da was helpless: “Sell me the rind of the melon!”
Xie Sen cut a quarter of the rind from the remaining half of the watermelon and sold it to Xu Da. Xu Da held the rind with a happy face, Long Teng took a bite from his head curiously, and his eyes lit up immediately: ” good to eat!”
Xie Sen thought to himself that when he came back from the forest this time, selling the whole watermelon to Xu Da, Long Teng, would be too soft-hearted.
Xu Da’s goal of eating goods was achieved, and then he turned to business: “Have you seen the news about the Wild Mang Forest? I think this is a good opportunity to find a contract beast. I don’t worry about A Teng going alone. If you go, Take him with him, he is not good at other abilities, and fighting is still good.”
Xie Sen thought, in fact, the best thing is luck.
Long Teng is the protagonist in the book. Although he is always in danger, he can always turn danger into danger, and his ability can be continuously improved. He is lucky enough to explode.
But thinking about it carefully, according to the time in the book, Long Teng should have been alone in the wild forest.
Now, everything is different, Xie Sen looked at Maine and felt very relieved.
Although he knows that Maine has not fully recovered, he is more sensitive and suspicious than before, but Maine is still young and he believes that he will get better.
Maine also looked at Xie Sen at this time, noticed his gaze, and his expression softened: “You decide.”
Xie Sen was a little surprised, and then he thought about it seriously. He had to rest every eight hours. If it was only him and Maine, when he was resting, when he encountered a dangerous situation, only Maine would deal with it, and Maine had to be divided. It’s too dangerous to take care of him.
The forest is so big, it is very likely that the red energy cannot be found immediately, and it is inconvenient for two people to alternate vigils.
“I think it’s ok,” Xie Sen said. “I contacted Bai Jiao today, and he is going too. There are many poisonous animals and plants in the forest. It will be safer to have a doctor. We can go with the four of us.”
Maine has no opinion: “Listen to you.”
Xie Sen said to Long Teng: “We plan to start on the 26th, is there any problem?”
“No problem,” Long Teng smiled, “you can go now.”
Xie Sen reminded: “It’s better to make some preparations,” thinking of Long Teng’s character, he said, “You don’t have to worry about other things, bring more weapons!”
“Okay!” Long Teng raised a big smile and agreed.
After the talk, Xu Da and Longteng left the apartment.
Xie Sen contacted Bai Jiao to explain the situation to him, and told him the departure time. Bai Jiao smiled and said, “I have no problem. I will come to you when the time comes. I will prepare some more medicine in the past few days.”
After hanging up the communication, Xie Sen went to go to dinner, and after the meal, he and Maine ate a large piece of watermelon, and both of them were satisfied.
After the meal, Xie Sen asked, “Is there anything else I need to prepare?”
“I’ll be ready,” Maine looked at him, his eyes fell on his arm, “You strengthen your arm exercises these days, and so on.”
He said, walked into the bedroom, and after a while took out a pair of dumbbells, one large and one small: “Use this exercise.”
Xie Sen thought of the need to land from the aircraft, nodded hastily, and was a little worried. Can he practice in a few days?
He took the dumbbells and went back to the bedroom. After thinking about it, he still felt uneasy. He looked at the remaining energy. There were thirty-three in total. Three of the energy was returned by Maine in the morning, and the rest of the increased energy was obtained from work.
He gritted his teeth, exchanged two meters of watermelon vine, carefully picked the watermelon, and then ordered the watermelon vine to tie him and lift him up.
At first, it was very uncomfortable for him to be restrained by the watermelon vines. The watermelon vines dissipated shortly after his feet were off the ground. After trying for a long time, he finally found a more comfortable position to be hung up, and the watermelon vines would not disperse.
If there is any accident during the whereabouts, he at least has the ability to save himself.
In the next few days, Xie Sen has been actively working, trying to help more contracted beasts in order to obtain the energy returned by the beast owner. By the 24th, he has accumulated 156 energy.
Early in the morning on the 25th, Xie Sen deliberately got up earlier than usual. He exchanged two potatoes to double the size of each potato, then cut one of them in half, and steamed the other. Potato fries, fried into fries.
When Maine came out of the bedroom, the smell of potatoes filled the room. He looked at the closed kitchen door, and his eyes gradually softened.
Xie Sen carefully placed the steamed potatoes side by side on a large plate, with the cross section facing up, then took the chopsticks, wrote Happy Birthday on it, and drew a smiley face at the end.
He looked at it, made sure there was no problem, and walked out of the kitchen with the ‘potato cake’ in his hand. Unexpectedly, Maine was standing at the door, and he almost bumped into it.
He stopped in time, raised a smile and passed the plate: “Brother, happy birthday, I wish you a happy day and good health!”
Maine stared at him for a while, the boy’s smile was bright and full of sunshine, which made him feel warm, this warmth went straight to the bottom of his heart, he couldn’t hold back, leaned over and kissed his forehead: “Thank you, I’m very happy .”
Xie Sen covered his forehead, stared blankly at the prompt of Energy 3, and watched Maine walk into the living room with a plate.
This…is the thank-you ceremony from Star Brandt?
After thinking about it, Xie Sen felt that only this reason could make sense.
