Chapter 42: What are you standing there for? Catch him now
Everyone gathered around the corpse of the low-level "Shadow Beast", excitedly discussing how to distribute it.
"This shadow beast's claw is a good thing. It can be made into a powerful weapon!"
"Then its skin is also good and can be made into protective armor."
"You can't miss my share of eyes!"
When the discussion was in full swing, Ye Yao stepped forward and said, "Stop arguing. I'll put this shadow beast into the space first and divide it up when we get back." As she spoke, she waved her hand and took the shadow beast in.
At this time, someone said with regret: "It's a pity that only one eye is injured, and its value is greatly reduced!"
Everyone agreed, and their eyes unconsciously looked at Ye Yao. Ye Yao felt uneasy and her face turned red, but she remained stubborn and silent. Because it was she who rushed over with a sword and accidentally blinded one of the shadow beast's eyes.
Seeing this, Su Nian tried to smooth things over by saying, "Okay, okay, no matter what, we are lucky to have defeated this shadow beast. Let's quickly think about what to do next."
Zhao Yan also nodded and said, "Yes, we can't stay in this cave forever. We have to go out and continue to complete the mission."
Everyone agreed, packed up their equipment, and prepared to leave the cave. As soon as they reached the cave entrance, they found that the "stinging bee" outside had already flown away.
"That's great, let's get going!"
Everyone continued to move forward along the mountain road, being very careful along the way, for fear of encountering any danger again.
Suddenly, the student walking in front stopped and said nervously, "There seems to be some movement ahead."
Everyone immediately became alert, holding their weapons tightly, and slowly moved forward. They saw a strange plant appearing in front of them, emitting a mysterious light.
"what is this?"
"I don't know. It looks unusual."
Su Nian observed these plants carefully and thought to himself: Could this be some kind of precious herb?
Just when everyone was puzzled, there was a rustling sound from the plants, as if something was approaching...
Just when everyone was getting nervous, a strange-looking insect emerged from the bushes. The insect was colorful, with complex and strange patterns on its body. Everyone was shocked by the sudden appearance of the insect and took a few steps back. Only Su Nian's eyes lit up, and the scene he had seen in the information quickly flashed through his mind.
"This is the 'firefly', its body fluid has the effect of healing wounds!" Su Nian said loudly.
After hearing this, everyone was skeptical, but seeing Su Nian's determined expression, they all tried to catch this rare insect.
Continuing to walk forward, Su Nian's eyes were attracted by a small grass emitting a light blue light. She walked forward quickly, observed it carefully, and shouted excitedly: "Look, this is the 'Lingmeng Grass'! Its leaves are as thin as silk, and they flash a dreamy blue light in the dim light. The veins are clear and have a slight fluorescence. This is a treasure that can enhance spiritual power!" When everyone heard this, they hurriedly and carefully picked the "Lingmeng Grass".
After walking a few steps, Su Nian found another piece of soil that was different from the others. She squatted down, touched it gently with her hand, and said confidently: "There is also the 'Amethyst Soil' over there. You see, it is a mysterious purple color, and the soil particles are crystal clear, like tiny gems, and contain rich energy!" Everyone gathered around and carefully collected the "Amethyst Soil" according to Su Nian's instructions.
After a while, Su Nian saw a tree with a strange shape, and its branches were full of pearl-like fruits. She said with joy: "This is the 'Lingzhu Tree'. Its fruits can improve physical fitness after consumption." After hearing this, everyone immediately started picking fruits excitedly.
Thanks to Su Nian's amazing memory, everyone gained a lot and admired Su Nian very much.
"Su Nian, you are so amazing, how come you know everything!"
"Thanks to Su Nian, otherwise we would have missed these treasures."
Just when everyone was in high spirits, they suddenly heard a low roar coming from not far away.
"Oh no, is there another powerful star beast?"
Everyone's heart was lifted again, and they looked nervously in the direction where the sound came from.
As the low roaring sound got closer, everyone saw a dense group of "stinging ants". Although these "stinging ants" are small in size, they are numerous and each one has a sharp stinger.
They came like a tide, eating up all the plants and trees wherever they went. The students were so frightened by this horrific scene that their faces turned pale and their legs went weak. They wanted to escape, but found that their retreat had been blocked by the "stinging ants".
Su Nian looked at the almost insurmountable ant colony, her heart in her throat, but she quickly forced herself to calm down. She took out a special container from her bag without hesitation and shouted, "What are you doing? Catch them quickly! These are 'stinging ants'. They will be very useful if you catch them!"
The students were stunned at first, then woke up as if from a dream, and hurriedly took out containers for the "stinging ants" from their backpacks and began to capture them.
When the students heard Su Nian's call, they immediately took action. Zhao Yan pulled out a fine metal net from his backpack. He held the handle of the net tightly with both hands and carefully approached the ant colony. When he got close to a certain distance, he quickly covered the metal net, and several "stinging ants" were instantly trapped in the net. He quickly closed the metal net and put it into a transparent glass jar.
Ye Yao took out a small tube with a suction device. She aimed at the "stinging ants" and pressed the switch. A strong suction force sucked several "stinging ants" into the tube, and then they fell into the cloth bag she had prepared along the pipe.
The two brothers Zhang Kuang and Zhang Meng cooperated well. Zhang Kuang held a large broom and drove the ant colony in one direction, while Zhang Meng held a large iron box and took the opportunity to put the gathered "stinging ants" into it.
Other students also showed off their skills. Some used special tweezers to accurately clamp the "stinging ants" and put them into small bottles; some took sticky boards and stuck them towards the ant colony, and were able to stick to several of them.
For a moment, although the students were nervous, they were all concentrating on catching the "stinging ants", and the scene was filled with a tense and busy atmosphere.
