Chapter 10, Unexpected
After a short while, Bille ran back, holding a small bottle in his hand
The petals of the blood-red orchid drooped slightly downward
When he came out of the library, Gong Hao was still engrossed in reading.
A large swarm of blood-sucking bees circled like a stream of red blood, diving towards Bile.
The seed was placed in the ground, and a vine emerged from the soil, coiling around the seed and dragging it into the earth
Lancelot felt that this young man was quite clever. He somewhat regretted his earlier slip of the tongue, unsure if the young man had noticed anything. However, it seemed that this young man, aside from his usual diligent work, exhibited no special behavior.
Gong Hao suddenly felt a slight sense of awareness in his heart
Gong Hao looked up and saw Bile from Area 42, a fourteen-year-old boy with emerald green eyes
Not far away, there is a double-layered iron cage covered with a magical net, inside which thousands of blood-sucking bees are flying up and down. They feed on blood and pollen while secreting a peculiar blood honey. This blood honey can be used to create restorative potions and can enhance the power of mages who specialize in blood-based spells, helping them recover their depleted vitality. It is a rather important material.
Gong Hao employed no fewer than dozens of methods to cultivate it, yet it still did not emerge from the soil
Absolutely! It must be like this! Gong Hao became excited
For example, humanity
Any life, as long as you care for it, can always become a friend. Magical plants are not merely plants; do not underestimate them
What are you saying
Mother
However, unfortunately, Lancelot did not give him this opportunity. Perhaps, as Lancelot said, he did not intend to bring any trouble to Purgatory Island. A boy who possesses only basic warrior aura and has not even learned combat skills is far safer than a servant with greater strength
This reassured him greatly
He and the book had also observed the seeds closely, wondering whether these small things had already perished. However, in fact, the seeds remained smooth and intact, just like an embryo within a mother's body, yet they were unwilling to grow.
The blood orchid has high environmental requirements, so Gong Hao specifically planted them in the flowerbed. This allows them to grow freely, but it also brings a higher level of danger.
He opened the vial and applied the insect repellent to the skin exposed outside his protective suit. This potion emits a strong, pungent odor that causes the vast majority of magical insects to avoid it. Interestingly, the main ingredient used to create this potion also comes from magical insects.
He hurriedly approached the blood orchid, holding the seed, gazing at the seemingly harmless petals, and softly said: "Hey, I think it is your child, right? I am returning it to you now"
A smile appeared on the boy's face: "Is this how you express your gratitude? Well, I accept it."
Ten days later, the seeds sprouted
At the very least, he has learned to respect life
Oh, and you, Iron Shell, you annoying big lizard, don't stick your tongue out at me, otherwise I will deduct the food I give you... That's better.
That requires more time and long-term care. The more intelligent the beings are, the higher their demands for friendship. " Gong Hao replied淡淡.
Gong Hao, who had just managed to soothe the few snow hares in a bad mood, felt the noise around him growing louder. He turned in astonishment and saw that the blood-sucking bees above Bile's head were gathering in increasing numbers, resembling a large mass of blood clouds looming overhead
He said this and ran away
Fink felt wronged: "I saw you standing next to it without any issues, so I thought..."
This magical plant may not require cultivation at all, or rather, it does not need the unnecessary embellishments of humanity. They are sentient beings, much like magical beasts, and possess concepts of family and lineage
Gong Hao could even feel the pulsation of the fighting spirit within him. He believed that if he continued to train diligently, he would eventually become an outstanding warrior.
"That is not something to be afraid of, is it?" Fink does not care.
Gong Hao's expression changed dramatically as he shouted at the cage: "Biller, come out quickly! Those blood-sucking bees are going to attack you!"
What about the beasts? Their spirituality is higher; can you befriend them
Indeed, Gong Hao is now fully immersed in his work. Without Lancelot's permission, he can only resort to traditional methods to cultivate his fighting spirit.
Beside the mature blood orchid, a small blood orchid is striving to break through the soil
Damn! Gong Hao slapped his forehead hard, realizing that he had made a mistake, a mistake that anyone could make
Blood honey is the primary food used by vampire bees to nourish the queen bee and the larvae, and only worker bees consume fresh blood. The act of collecting honey is, to some extent, akin to stealing food from the mouths of vampire bees. As creatures of magic, vampire bees are always vehemently opposed to the act of honey theft; at this moment, their wings flutter, producing a buzzing sound, carrying a threat of death
Gong Hao looked at him with a pitiful and helpless gaze, and Fenk nodded helplessly: "Alright, I promise I will work hard and will never leave you"
Gong Hao carefully placed the seed into the pot of the bloodthirsty orchid, wary of this creature's potential attack. However, it seemed that the bloodthirsty orchid had no intention of attacking him.
You know that I never refuse to help my partners
After bandaging the wound, Gong Hao said to Fink: "I have noticed that you have been a bit lazy in your work lately. Have you become so familiar with the - 图 - 书 here that you think you can act without restraint? I remember telling you to work diligently and never to be lazy. I do not want you to be taken away by Andrew"
Bile Heihei smiled and said: "You really are something, Glaier, thank you so much."
It seems you will take care of it, right? I am very sorry; I thought I could nurture it, but I made a mistake. It is not your seed, but your child. It needs a mother's care, not the interference of an outsider like me... Well, then, I entrust it to you. I will find you a larger space, a quieter space, so you can slowly take care of your child. Before it grows up, I will not separate it from you again.
Alright, Benben, you are a wind chicken, not a dried chicken. There is no need to hang yourself in the cage all day long
Gong Hao sighed, many things he could not say, he could only say: "I just can't bear to leave you. Fink, you see, you are my best friend. We came out of South Wales together, came here together, and worked together. I don't want to be separated from you. Fink, sometimes I find myself very afraid of loneliness, at night when I sleep alone, I think of my parents. But I have no choice... I only have you, Fink... So promise me, work hard, and don't let Andrew take you away, okay? Fink, sometimes I find myself very afraid of loneliness, at night when I sleep alone, I think of my parents. But I have no choice... I only have you, Fink... So promise me, work hard, and don't let Andrew take you away, okay? Just help me."
Once, Fink came to see it and was bitten by the bloody orchid
He opened the first layer of the cage door, and after entering, he closed the cage door behind him. He then opened the second layer of the cage door. The magical prison cages are designed with double-layered doors, which eliminates the concern of magical beasts and insects escaping when a person enters.
The magical plants in the greenhouse appear vibrant under his meticulous care. Gong Hao has essentially mastered the situation of the magical plants here, and he has also gained profound understanding and documentation of the work in other areas.
For example, humanity
Sometimes, power is merely a medium for unleashing destructive capabilities, much like a magician's magic is simply a conduit for channeling the forces of heaven and earth, the consequences of which can be earth-shattering.
Three days later
It has a reaction
Alright, then I will take care of the rabbits and the foxes for you. I will tell those rabbits that if they do not rein in their little tempers, I will throw them over to feed the foxes
The blood-red orchid swayed a few times on its own without any wind
Friend? To befriend a plant?
The vampire bees are indeed very sensitive to this insect-attracting solution, and after the entrance of the Bile, they all fled.
He just arrived at Purgatory Island this month and is relatively diligent in his work. His request for help from Gong Hao indicates that he may indeed be overwhelmed with his tasks.
The magical plants are not ordinary flora; they are sentient beings, some of which can even express their own emotions, such as the pot of flowers brought by Lancelot
No!
That is because I am its friend
The improvement is indeed very slow
With the piercing scream of Bille, the net bucket in his hand fell to the ground with a thud
However, for some unknown reason, they did not escape very far, but continued to hover above the beehive
The intense noise made it difficult for Bile to hear what Gong Hao was saying. He looked up with some annoyance and was astonished to see a patch of red clouds continuously enlarging above him
Area 42 is home to approximately thirty different types of magical beasts and magical insects. Gong Hao often assists the servants with their tasks, so he is quite familiar with these magical creatures. He has even given each magical beast a name.
Feng Ke stared blankly at Gong Hao: "Xiu Yi ... ..."
"Gleir, can you help me? I'm a bit overwhelmed here." Someone was calling him from a distance
Despite the fact that for a Sky Warrior, even if Gong Hao continues this excessive training, he will not be able to surpass him within ten years, he is equally aware that destruction does not solely stem from one's own strength
Gong Hao, following traditional practices, cultivated this seed separately, which likely constituted a significant mistake
Bile carefully opened the beehive, where countless blood-sucking bees were crawling. He cautiously took out the clean bucket, preparing to collect the blood honey
Fink smiled: "I am truly happy to be your friend"
The only thing that gave him a headache was the seed of the bloody orchid
Gong Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief
Hey, Mao Tou, how is it that you've lost weight in just a few days since I last saw you? Bi Le must be mistreating you, right?
They possess intelligence, feelings, and desires. To some extent, apart from their survival form resembling plants, they are ideologically closer to magical beasts. This is the primary reason they are classified as magical plants
The cultivation of fighting spirit has been forcibly terminated
Gong Hao, while joking about those magical beasts, skillfully fed the poor creatures locked in their cages
The green twig signifies the birth of a new life
It is wonderful that this morning Lord Andrew asked me to extract one liter of honey from the blood-sucking bees for him, but this task is quite challenging, especially since I am facing troubles on my end. A few snow hares are throwing a tantrum; they are not very happy and are desperately banging their heads against the cage, requiring someone to soothe them. Additionally, those blue-eyed foxes are experiencing some diarrhea and also need someone to take care of them. Furthermore, I must first go find Sack to request a bottle of insect repellent, so that I can keep those dreadful blood-sucking bees at bay while I collect the honey. I am almost at my wit's end!
"You should be careful, Fink; you have seen its power before," Gong Hao said while bandaging Fink's wound.
Despite the hardships endured over these days, the ultimate path to success was a return to the starting point. Gong Hao, however, felt that his efforts were not in vain
