Chronicles of Primordial Wars

Chapter 525 Chinese Cabbage

Suddenly seeing this familiar figure, Shao Xuan still couldn't believe it. He stared at it carefully for a while, and made sure he was right, he quickly got down from the hill and headed towards that direction.

When he was walking in the woods before, he didn't pay attention. He even walked back and forth several times without focusing on the figure that looked similar to Chinese cabbage, because it was so big!

There are all kinds of strange plants in the forest. Shao Xuan doesn't know how many plants with similar leaves he has seen, so he didn't pay much attention when he walked there. But standing on the hill, looking down from the top and seeing the figure clearly, the shock in Shao Xuan's heart could not be calmed down.

There are many similar leaves, but its whole appearance is too similar to Chinese cabbage. It's just that this Chinese cabbage is taller than Shao Xuan himself!

Shao Xuan took a closer look at the plant that looked very similar to Chinese cabbage.

There was a screeching sound in my ears.

Turning his head to look, Shao Xuan saw that on a large leaf outside the vegetable, a worm with a thick arm was lying on it and nibbled a hole out of the vegetable leaf. Probably sensing the arrival of Shao Xuan, the unfamiliar aura gave it a sense of crisis, it stopped nibbling on the leaves, and lifted the front half of its body towards Shao Xuan.

If Shao Xuan hadn't been prepared and knew that this was just a bug gnawing on vegetable leaves, if he saw such a scene suddenly, he might have mistakenly thought that there was a snake here.

The stains and patterns on the front end of the bug look like a green poisonous snake in the mountains and forests. The lines as fine as the scales are very clear, especially the two lines that look very similar to "eyes", which are really scary and abrupt. Looking at it this way, it was like being stared at by a snake.

This is also a life-saving means for insects.

However, Shao Xuan had seen a lot of similar bugs, so he was not frightened by it, and stood beside him with great interest to observe for a while.

Perhaps thinking that Shao Xuan was no longer in danger, the worm lay down again. Continue to eat around the gnawed holes in the leaves.

Some bugs in the mountains and forests will take several years or even longer to turn into butterflies or moths. This bug is probably not far from the change.

Shao Xuan looked away from the bug. Continue to look at the Chinese cabbage in front of you.

He raised his hand and cut off a piece of the leaf with a dagger. It was okay to smell it. There was no strange smell, but Shao Xuan didn't eat it. What insects can eat, he may not also be able to eat. He took the vegetable leaf and walked to the flying squirrel hanging from the tree. Unfortunately, Momonga has no interest in the vegetable leaves at all. When he was provoked, he bit a piece and vomited instead of eating it.

After trying several times, Shao Xuan watched the flying squirrel mouth up and down on the vegetable leaves as if venting his anger, but there was nothing unusual, and Shao Xuan was slightly overjoyed.

Stop messing with that flying squirrel.

I walked around in the surrounding woods, near the hole in the ground. Because of the Tianmai, other plants were not growing well, and Shao Xuan had not seen any plants that looked like Chinese cabbage, so he had to go further afield to find them. Like the one he just discovered, it was found a little farther away from the hole in the ground. Able to squeeze out a place to grow in the woods, this vegetable is strong enough.

I didn't pay attention to it before because Shao Xuan didn't pay attention to the taller plants, and now he is looking for it according to the shape of the leaves. After a while, he found thirty or so, and this is only the nearby one. It's just as big as this one.

There are more small plants on the ground that have not grown up. Some have obvious signs of being trampled on by forest animals, some have been bitten by Ken, and their leaves are incomplete. There are too many seedlings like this. Shao Xuan didn't count them. If they let it go, none of them would survive. They would either be eaten and trampled to death by animals in the forest, or starved to death by other plants that robbed them of their nutrients.

After reading it, Shao Xuan returned to the cave. Last night, in order to stare at Momonga and see the effect of Tianmai, I didn't sleep all night. Today, I have been running everywhere since the early morning. I am a little tired, so I just sit on the grass and rest. Eat a little meat left over from yesterday to quell hunger.

Shao Xuan thought about the origin of those "Chinese cabbage".

Do they really grow here naturally?

There are also people who grow vegetables here, and the leaves are 60% similar to Chinese cabbage, but the leaves are much narrower and longer, and the vegetables commonly grown here have large rhizomes. Just by the way. The vegetables in the farmland that are commonly seen here are also considered large, but most of them are only the height of Shao Xuan’s waist. If it is too small, the people of the tribe will not be willing to plant them. But compared to the "Chinese cabbage" here, it is not enough.

mutated?

Shao Xuan suddenly thought of the vegetables grown over the sea.

There are also crops similar to Chinese cabbage over there, which Shao Xuan had seen in Jiju's farm. It's just that the vegetables over there have wide leaves, but they are too scattered and short, so they only reach Shao Xuan's knees. Many tribes on the other side of the sea do not grow that, and feel that the yield is too low and they are not very hungry. But slave owners like it.

Only the slave owners who liked these things in Wangcheng would set aside a lot of land in their farms for planting in order to eat this kind of vegetables. In this way, on the other side of the sea, only the slave owners have that kind of vegetable seeds.

The "Chinese cabbage" around is not the type that the tribes here often grow, and it is also different from the ones grown in the fields of the slave owners over the sea. Of course, there are many similarities, but so far, I have gone so far. There are many places, even Shao Xuan in the mountains and forests, but he has never seen such a "Chinese cabbage" anywhere.

After thinking for a while, Shao Xuan's eyes suddenly widened. He thought of a possibility.

This used to be the place of an unknown small tribe, and they also planted it. The surrounding terrain is relatively flat, and the vegetables that the land tribes often grow here may have also been planted. Then, even if the small tribe migrates, here More or less some dishes will be left over.

What if the seeds that the Ji family sowed here were not just Tianmai, but also some kind of vegetable seeds?

What if, before the death of the three Ji family members in the cave, they threw a handful of rapeseeds around this place?

Will two similar but not identical vegetables grown here produce a progeny with the strengths of both?

Perhaps Shao Xuan thought too much, but what if it was true?

If this is the case, Shao Xuan can only say, God's will! !

If it is artificially cultivated, if you want to get a satisfactory dish, you don’t know how long it will take to screen. Even those dishes grown by many tribes today are only left after being screened from generation to generation.

Here, different varieties of vegetables from two continents grow together to obtain offspring that melt the characteristics of both of them, and then after a long period of natural combination and selection, there will be a surviving one that combines the advantages of both. , the most adaptable and genetically stable offspring - "Chinese cabbage".

Today's "Chinese cabbage" is not only big, but also headed.

Different from the scattered leaves of many vegetables on the other side of the sea, these "Chinese cabbage" here, except for the large leaves on the outer side, have a tendency to wrap their hearts in the inner part, forming an upright oval ball.

Regardless of whether it was obtained from hybridization, or if the vegetables grown here were mutated by themselves, in a word, Shao Xuan was very satisfied just looking at the shape.

Now the remaining question is, is it edible?

In any case, cut one first and go back.

Shao Xuan chose the one he saw first, and chopped off the big vegetable ball in the middle with his sword. The few leaves scattered outside looked too old and not easy to carry, so I only chopped up the oval-shaped vegetable balls.

The vegetable ball, which is taller than himself, is a bit heavy, which makes Shao Xuan even more satisfied. A little heavier proves that there are more leaves forming the cabbage, unlike the other leaves that are spread out. If you can eat it, the yield will be higher.

Carrying the vegetable ball on his shoulders, Shao Xuan came to the cave, thought of something, and looked back at Momonga hanging from a tree.

There was only a bitten straw rope left, and it should have run when he was looking for "Chinese cabbage". Being able to bite off the rope, his teeth are not weak, and the struggle consumes a lot of physical strength. It seems that the injury of the flying squirrel has almost recovered.

There were no signs of being bitten by the surrounding heavenly veins, proving that the flying squirrel did not find the heavenly veins growing here. Heavenly veins that have not been cut, are similar to ordinary tree roots, and are indeed difficult to notice.

Thief Eleven and Thief Twelve have been stealing for so many years and have stolen so many treasures, but they never thought that there are extremely precious things growing here. Perhaps, they didn't even think about the direction of plants. After all, who would "throw" "treasures" on the ground at will?

After dealing with the traces around, the Tianmai was wrapped and placed in the animal skin bag. Shao Xuan pulled some large leaves and straw ropes, wrapped the chopped vegetable balls and tied them, and then left.

Here, Shao Xuan does not plan to make a big move for the time being. Now he is only one person, and it is impossible to get everything here, especially the largest sky vein, which needs to be excavated and protected more carefully. He still thinks Trying to transplant this Heaven Vein back to the tribe requires the help of more people.

There are other Tianmai here, as well as the "Chinese cabbage" that grows everywhere, they are all treasures. After Shao Xuan plans to go back to the tribe to call people, they will all be poached.

After everything was settled, Shao Xuan left with the big vegetable ball.

The thieves chased out overnight and didn’t come back. The tribe patrolled the edge, paying attention to the movement in the distance.

When he saw Shao Xuan's figure, the patrolling hadn't recognized it yet, it was too far to see clearly, and Shao Xuan was still carrying a big vegetable ball, which made it very strange. When they got closer, when they saw that it was Shao Xuan returning, the patrolmen happily greeted him.

They didn't know what Shao Xuan was carrying, but seeing that the Great Elder personally carried it back, it was definitely not something ordinary.

Not only the soldiers on patrol, but others were inevitably curious when they saw Shao Xuan returning with an unknown object. That thing is so big that it's hard to ignore.

Shao Xuan didn't explain much to them, he just rushed into the mountain forest with the vegetable ball and walked towards the tribe. He was in a hurry and disappeared in a flash. (To be continued.)
