Chapter 440 A self-contained food chain system
In the evening, everyone sat around the fire and ate dry food to recharge their batteries.
"Aww, aww, aww..."
In the headwind valley ahead, beast roars could be heard from time to time, resounding through the entire valley, which was really impressive.
Gu Chan bit the big cake in her hand and looked at the dark valley ahead with a solemn expression.
In the afternoon, she had observed it carefully.
This Nifeng Valley is a sky canyon in the middle of the continuous mountains in the west of Jiangnan. This canyon is not only dark and long, but also very rich in aura.
The most important thing is that there is almost no grass growing around the canyon, which shows how powerful the aura inside is.
Gu Chan couldn't figure out how the many mysterious beasts living in Nifeng Valley usually survived.
Although mysterious beasts are stronger than humans, they still need to eat. It cannot be said that they can survive just by absorbing spiritual energy. Therefore, in places where this spiritual energy is extremely powerful and there is no grass growing around them, food is relatively unavailable. They are relatively scarce, so how do they obtain food to survive?
Confused, Gu Chan couldn't help but look at Chang Wei and said, "Mr. Chang, I have a question. I don't know whether I should talk about it or not."
"Little brother, it doesn't matter if you just say it." Chang Wei said with a smile.
"The area around Niwind Valley looks so desolate, and food must be scarce. How do the many mysterious beasts there survive?" Gu Chan asked.
Her question is also what Wei Xing, Tu Meng and Hua Ling want to know.
At this time, the three of them also raised their eyes and looked at Chang Wei.
Chang Wei smiled lightly and said, "There is always something magical about everything in the world. In the headwind valley, there are three very magical plants. Like flowers, plants and trees, they can take root in the soil and absorb nutrients, sunlight, wind and rain from the soil. Nourish and survive, and like Xuanzang, they can survive by preying on other mysterious beasts as food."
"So these three plants are like great supplements to all the mysterious beasts in the Nifeng Valley. They exist, and their reproductive ability is extremely strong. They can’t be eaten and killed. This is why all the mysterious beasts in Niifeng Valley can survive.”
“Oh! So that’s it! The valley actually has its own food chain system," Gu Chan said with relief.
Chang Wei looked confused when he heard this, "Little brother, what do you mean by the food chain?"
"To put it simply, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat loach, loach. When it comes to eating shrimps, different species have different ways of living. This is called the food chain. Two-legged beasts like us also have our own food chain. Young Master Chang, you are considered to be at the middle of the food chain in today's Cang Kingdom." Gu Chan explained. .
"Then according to what you mean, those at the top of the Tiancang Kingdom's food chain should be the civil and military officials of the imperial court?" Chang Wei said.
Gu Chan smiled lightly and said, "That's not true. The royal family is at the top of the food chain of Tiancang Kingdom. All the civil and military officials of the imperial court are only at the top of the food chain."
"I understand. Little brother, you are really different, this brief conversation really benefited me a lot," Chang Wei said with clasped fists in admiration.
Gu Chan looked at his face, opened her mouth to say something, but finally closed her mouth, swallowing all the words that came to her lips, and then she turned her head away, not wanting to look anymore He did.
Chang Wei sensed something was wrong and hurriedly said, "Little brother, don't you like me? Why come all this way, I feel like you don't even want to look at me?"
"That's not true. It's just that you look too much like an old friend of mine. I don't really want to see your face." Gu Chan said awkwardly.
"Then what is the relationship between this old friend and you, little brother?" Chang Wei asked. "..." Gu Chan!
Do it!
What is the relationship?
That was a scumbag that she wanted to tear into pieces with her own hands. If he couldn't go back now, she would have to deal with him severely.
Chang Wei saw that Gu Chan didn't want to say more, so he stopped asking, and said very considerately, "Since the little brother doesn't want to say more, I won't ask any more questions. Let's go early tonight. Rest and refresh yourself. We will go into the valley to find the Qilin Beast early tomorrow morning. "Mr. Chang, after we find the Qilin Beast, is it enough for us to just take its blood?" Hua Ling said.
"Of course, the Qilin Beast is a spiritual beast and is extremely powerful. If we can get its blood and save our own lives, I am afraid we will have to use up all the power of nine cows and two tigers. Other There’s no need to think too much,” Chang Wei said solemnly.
Hua Ling nodded quietly.
Then everyone stopped chatting and everyone found a place to lie down and sleep after eating and drinking.
After midnight.
While Chang Wei and the others were sleeping soundly, Wei Xing crept up to Gu Chan like a bug, put his mouth to his ear and whispered, "Little boss, wake up quickly."
"Fuck! You're going to die! Why are you crawling up to me if you don't sleep in the middle of the night? Stay away from me, don't make me beat you!" Gu Chan opened his eyes angrily and cursed fiercely. reached out and pushed him away.
Like a mangy dog, Wei Xing stuck up again and said, "Little boss, I was wrong. I didn't tell you this in advance, so don't be angry with me!"
"Get out! Damn you, I asked you to come here to make money, and I didn't let you continue to pretend to be Batman. How about you, not only did you pretend to be a bat sword, but you also came to trick Chang Wei? Are you doing your old habit again? You're itchy. Need to clean up?" Gu Chan sat up and pointed at Wei Xing's nose and cursed.
“Snap!”
After scolding, she couldn’t bear it anymore and hit him with a big slap on his ear.
Wei Xing was stunned by her on the spot, and quickly covered his face with his hands. He looked back at Chang Wei and the others lying behind him. After making sure that he had not woken them up, he quickly explained in a low voice, "I'm not doing this. I also want to take this opportunity to establish a relationship with the eldest son of the Chang family, so that I can make a fortune in the salt industry in the south of the Yangtze River, and then go to you to claim the credit?"
"Oh! Then I still have to thank you?" Gu Chan said angrily.
"Oh, little boss, I really know I was wrong, so don't be angry. Anyway, my intention was good, but I just didn't tell you in time." Wei Xing said, acting like a rogue.
Gu Chan sighed helplessly, there was really nothing he could do against him.
Wei Xing chuckled again and said, "Little boss, don't be angry. I'll rub your shoulder. Please forgive me. You have to protect me when we enter the valley tomorrow!"
"Get out of here, you big-headed guy! Aren't you a hero? Aren't you awesome? You can help Chang Wei deal with the Qilin Beast tomorrow!" Gu Chan teased him deliberately.
Wei Xing stretched his face anxiously, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
With his little three-legged cat skills, he can usually pretend to be a coward and deceive others, but if he really wants to face a powerful spiritual beast like the Qilin Beast, he will have to shed three layers of skin even if he doesn't die!
No matter what, he has to please Gu Chan. Otherwise, if he goes in and encounters the Qilin Beast tomorrow, it will be unclear whether his life can be saved.
