Chapter 199 Habitat
Chapter 199 Habitat
Everyone looked up as the vortex cow slowly climbed down, looking utterly exhausted.
Xu Si then flashed his sword and flew directly to the air, level with the vortex cow.
"Who are you people?"
Xu Si has made several mistakes today, so he naturally won't let his guard down.
In the apocalypse, disguise is an essential skill.
"I'm DouDou! Brother, are you a sword immortal?" The little girl who kept talking to them was the bravest.
But is that what Xu Si asked?
Several even younger children were squeezed next to the little girl. They seemed to have no resistance to Xu Si's swordsmanship, and their eyes were full of stars.
Behind them was an elderly woman with gray hair, squinting and trying to look down.
Xu Si felt that they were pretending to be stupid.
Because after so much time has passed since the apocalypse, it's impossible for something as simple as innocence to still exist.
"Young man, we mean no harm..." said the oldest woman.
Xu Si believed this, because Yi Yi was related to his life and wouldn't give up.
"Is this a ghost? How come you live with a ghost?" This was what Xu Si and Fu Xiaojian wanted to know most.
If we can tame the strange creatures, then restoring Earth to its former glory will no longer be a pipe dream.
The old woman patted the snail shell beneath her, which had a rocky luster and was covered with natural spiral patterns.
The enormous vortex bull seemed to sense her patting, and its two tentacles, which were protruding from its shell and swaying slowly, paused slightly and turned towards Xu Si by an insignificant degree.
Xu Si thought of a certain lightning bolt that only knew how to speed.
"DouDou is a Sequence 2 - Divine Contract Master. She forcibly contracted this strange creature, making it our home!"
Xu Si understood!
Because of the contract, this vortex bull became the habitat of these people, and the valley where they lived was the habitat of the vortex bull.
Is it possible for him to understand it that way?
"Yes, it is! Brother, do you want to make a contract with me?" DouDou was much bolder than the others.
"What about the other extraordinary units in your convoy?" Xu Si asked, as he needed to ensure the convoy's safety first.
"Brother, we don't have a car, it's just me, Grandma Xin, Doubao, Kaochang, and Master Wei, just the few of us!" Dou Dou answered first, introducing Xu Si as well.
The old lady wanted to stop them, but it was too late. If she hadn't been sleeping, she definitely wouldn't have let Dou Dou reveal their location.
Perhaps DouDou hasn't seen outsiders for too long.
The "Grandma Xin" that DouDou mentioned is an old lady, DouBao is a little boy with a runny nose, and KaoChang is a little girl wearing a butterfly hair clip.
The "Master Wei" the little girl was talking about was a boy wearing glasses, who looked about the same age as Dou Dou, and was looking at Xu Si with a nervous expression.
This puzzled Xu Si.
An old man with four children not only made strange contracts, but also survived for so long in the apocalypse; it's simply a fantasy.
With so many questions, Xu Si was momentarily at a loss for what to ask.
"Young man, how is it outside now?" Grandma Xin asked.
Among these people, Xu Si only saw that Grandma Xin was wary of him, while the other children were more curious and happy.
It's like the joy of making a new friend.
"You don't know?" Xu Si asked doubtfully.
However, my level of vigilance has decreased.
"I live with these children in my hometown. Before the apocalypse, there were hardly any people left in our village. Young people didn't want to stay in the countryside, so I had to take care of the children!"
"When this huge creature came to our village, many villagers were killed by its spit because they thought it was a novelty."
"Fortunately, DouDou awakened the sequence you mentioned, and it took a lot of effort to give it to the contract. We've been staying in this valley the whole time and haven't gone out. I hope you won't hurt DouDou and the others!"
Xu Si believed what they were saying was true.
Because they no longer have any need to lie; there is no need when they expose themselves.
"So what do you usually eat?" Xu Si asked, a rather crucial question.
"You can plant things inside the cow, and you can harvest them very quickly!" the little boy with the bean bun said, sniffling.
Xu Si thought of the [Vortex Bull]'s characteristic called "Habitat". Could it be that it also has the convenience of a portable farm?
Xu Si wanted to ask, who exactly is cheating?
This is still playable.
"But there are only sweet potatoes! I don't want to eat sweet potatoes anymore! I want to eat grilled sausage!" The one who spoke was the little girl with a butterfly hair clip named Grilled Sausage.
"I don't want to eat anymore. Roasted sweet potatoes, steamed sweet potatoes, stewed sweet potatoes, I eat sweet potatoes for every meal. I'm turning into a sweet potato!" Doubao said.
However, Xu Si swallowed hard; he wanted to eat it!
He just wanted this.
"Hey, Brother Dao, what's going on? Tell me!" The little girl's neck was sore from looking up, and she could only watch Xu Si chatting idly up there, not knowing when it would end.
She just wanted to know if it was okay to go swimming.
Xu Si nodded to the others, then slowly landed back beside the caravan on his sword and briefly recounted what he had seen and heard.
"A bizarre contract? Planting sweet potatoes on a bizarre creature?"
Jiao Jiao listened with her eyes wide open, forgetting even the pain in her arm.
"Then...then can we raise one too? We'd have sweet potatoes to eat every day!"
Su Su gently patted her to quiet her down, but her gaze was fixed on the giant vortex bull slowly moving on the cliff, a hint of surprise flashing in her cool eyes.
Fu Xiaojian's rib wound was still throbbing, but he was more concerned about the possibilities that this unexpected encounter represented.
He looked at Xu Si and whispered, "What do you think? Is it believable?"
"It should be believable. It's just an old lady and a few children; they have no reason to lie!" Xu Si paused, then added.
Yes!
If I were at their mercy, I would certainly confess honestly.
"Let's make contact first," Fu Xiaojian quickly decided.
"Don't stray too far from the convoy. Let's figure everything out first!" Fu Xiaojian said.
Xu Si took to the air again on his sword, this time getting a little closer but maintaining a safe distance.
He raised his voice, which echoed clearly through the canyon.
"There's something strange going on outside. We're a migrating caravan of firewood, just passing through. We mean no harm, but we need to rest here. What are those plants?"
"That's Niu Niu's food, it grows it itself!" Dou Dou said.
"Is it dangerous?"
Does it count if it feels prickly to the touch?
"Where's the water?"
"Water? The water tastes great!" Xu Si felt relieved after learning more about it.
It seems they really did stumble upon the habitat of the [Whirlbull].
No wonder there was a strange flow of energy on those plants.
It seems that this [vortex cow] is indeed a strange creature with relatively mild, even "planting" characteristics.
Its "habitat" characteristics are not just about providing a place to live, but more about slowly transforming the surrounding environment and forming a unique ecological cycle.
This feels so comfortable!
