I raised weirdos in tokyo

This is really too strange.

Yes, not only trees, but also some crystal mines, these things are so beautiful, some people are so emotional.

They didn't seem to be seeing the same thing, and I thought the raft kept going inwards.

"Let's not look at these things. Those things must be inside. Let's look at that crystal ball. I guess that the mermaid's manipulation substance must be that crystal ball. As long as we get this thing and take it back for research, then we have succeeded again." Halfway through."

Kujo Yui said so, and he strode into it with big strides.

What is in front of him is only what is in his imagination is the understanding. Although Kujo Yui said everything, he couldn't move too fast.

Although he thought about striding inside, there was something holding him back.

He felt an invisible big hand protruding from the ground, as if he had entered a swamp.

He was completely in a state of difficulty, and Kutiao Wei's steps towards the inside of those men, he felt that every step was like something was grabbing and dragging himself.

Coming to a muddy area, Kujo Yui let out a sigh of relief, but his eyes gradually became firmer.

He raised the breath in his heart, and rushed forward bravely.

The other people also had a whim, followed behind him, and they all charged forward.

They are not afraid of difficulties at all, after all, they are well-trained soldiers.

Those people followed Kujo Wei closely, chanting their own slogans, and followed Kujo Yui to the front, as if this could strengthen their courage.

As for Ada, he just didn't say a word until the more difficult it was, the more taciturn he became.

He followed Yui Kujo, and you wanted to open up for him, but he felt that Yui Kujo seemed to be calmer by his side.

Those things are all gathered in Kujo Yui.It seems that there is something in him that attracts them.

He didn't suffer any harm, so what he was looking for here seemed to be much more leisurely than others.

Obviously it is in the front as if it belongs to something in the storm mouth, but it is actually a safer place.

Perhaps this is the most dangerous place is the safest place.

However, Kutiao Wei has attracted many things, he will not die in front of him, he seems to be invincible, and he seems to be invincible.

Kutiao Yui struck many things in front of him, he held a sword in his hand, even if those things blocked him, he was just a sword, just split those things to death.

So he looked at Kutiao's only forward momentum, and suddenly felt a little envious.

But he is just a self-healing disciple, it would be great if he could be like Kujo Yui.

There was a feeling of envy in his heart, but he didn't say anything on the surface.

He knew that if one day he could be like Yui Kujo, then he should be considered a high-level person there.

He always felt that the world had changed once before it changed completely.

There is a strange energy pouring in in the world, which creates those weirdnesses.

In fact, those weirdnesses have always existed, but in a dark angle that people can't see.

Everyone is deeply fascinated by this matter, but some ordinary people don't know this matter, which means that his status is relatively high in this world.

The tour guide silently found Yui Kutiao, and he was inseparable from Yui Kutiao, wanting to protect Yui Kutiao by his side.

Yui Kujo didn't refute his question, so he asked him to follow him.

In fact, like a tour guide, it is just that he wants to rely on Yui Kujo so that he will not be threatened by his side. It is always safer to be around Yui Kujo than other places.

Other people also gathered around Kutiao Yui one after another, and Kutiao Yui surrounded by them pushed forward to the level. Because it was also Kutiao Yui's help, most of them did not suffer any harm.

But the situation in other directions is different. Although some of them were not harmed, those people were even weaker than them.

So the fragile break at the scene is a problem during war.

Those who retreated were attacked one after another, and from time to time screams came out of this place.

Kujo Yui was sensitive to the scream, like the scream of the last person in life.

What's the matter, has anyone encountered a ghost?

His eyes quickly looked to the place behind.

"The person Kujo Yui I brought over before is about to be injured, please help them."

The sound of panic resounded around Kutiao Yui, and Kutiao Yui's eyes also focused in that direction.

Those people fell to the ground and could no longer get up, obviously losing their lives.

It's just that he lost his life after a tragic crash. What else is dangerous here?

His eyes darkened little by little. If that person was here to make a fool of himself, he would definitely be very angry.

Kujo Yui can be said to be furious now, he walked over there regardless of whether there was any danger there, but went straight to that direction, knelt down beside him and looked at him.

However, he still maintains a posture that can move at any time. As long as there is any disturbance, he will immediately bounce up and go to other places to avoid harm.

Kujo Yui didn't relax his vigilance, it was because it was too dangerous that his vigilance was raised even more.

The person he was watching, that person had fallen to the ground and couldn't get up.

Not if there was an obvious wound, but there was a small hole in his chest.

There was a small hole there, which obviously took his life, and it also completely penetrated his heart, which is why he died so quickly.

"What exactly hurt him?" Kujo Yui thought about this question carefully.

He said this sentence to himself, but the voice was so small that only the people around him could hear it.

Standing beside him, Nanako Saito looked nervously at Yui Kujo's situation. This place was so abrupt that it could be said that it could be said that it could not be seen, and it was entangled by many things.

Those things made Nanako Saito feel uncomfortable. She didn't like this environment at first. Every time he went to travel in the forest, he would feel a little uncomfortable in his body, because those trees entangled him, which made him not like it. A gloomy atmosphere.

Not to mention this place, they may encounter danger at any time in these places, but now some people are indeed in danger, Nanako Saito feels the same, what if she also said that she was in danger?
Maybe this is the sorrow of the rabbit and the fox, she let out a breath, then looked at this person and sighed silently in her heart.

After all, this person is the one who traveled with them. He does not allow these people to be harmed, but she is powerless.

She can only pin her hope on Kutiao Yui, Kutiao Yui is so powerful, there must be a way, right?
"What should we do now? We think that we may encounter danger at any time. Should we continue to go there, or temporarily retreat?"

"How can all previous efforts be wasted, we must go there, but we must first find out the cause of his death, otherwise if someone continues to die, then we are really helpless. If we go back there, even if we complete the task It will be broken by people."

Yes, Kujo Yui couldn't allow this to happen. His teammates were here and were killed by that guy.

He was very angry in his heart, it can be said that he had been dazzled by the anger, but his head was still in a clear state, although his head was still in a state of sobriety, he felt that Ji Ji's heart was getting calmer and calmer.

If I see Xia naturally now, maybe Xiao will be even more flustered. Those people accompanied him on the trip, and they all said that accompanying her would lead to the death of this place.

But Kujo Wei absolutely does not allow them to be in danger again, because this place was originally what Kujo Wei wanted to explore, and these people are just a foil.

Kujo only shifted his eyes to everyone, "If you think it's dangerous, you should hug together first, so there should be no danger."

"Are you sure that will work? Will he not catch him all?"

"I believe that thing will not be too powerful. If it could catch us all, it would have done it long ago. It wouldn't be so sneaky. I'm sure he took three orders. If my judgment is wrong, then you guys will come Time to blame me again."

Kujo Yui just laughed, "I'm with you too," now Kujo Yui added this sentence and stood in front of them, standing on the road for them.

"I'm happy for you in the front to defeat those monsters, and you just follow me in the back. The dangers, difficulties and obstacles ahead are all left to me alone."

Kutiao Wei said such a sentence in his heart, he had an indomitable momentum, although Jiu Tiao Wei felt that he might have taken all the burdens on himself, and some of them were not worth it.

But these people came out with him after all, and he was going to complete this task, so Kujo Yui decided that if he didn't rush, no one would be able to continue.

If they change their positions now, the road ahead will be even more difficult, so if someone must suddenly come out to bear the burden, then Kujo Yui thinks that person should be himself.

It also means that when danger is reached, someone should always come forward.

I don't know that there are pairs of terrifying eyes in the corner, directly bursting out a breathtaking light in their pair of terrifying eyes. The eyes are like a kind of fading dragon. Ding Zhen's light is very cold, like As if to devour them.

Kujo Yui felt that her body was full of dense eyesight, and her body seemed a little numb, she felt very uncomfortable.

Those things also posed a threat to him, and his eyes looked around, looking around for that kind of thing that seemed to be pervasive, coming from every place.

He didn't know where it came from, what was the light that was shining on his head and all over his body?

Yui Kujo felt like he was half-infected at this time, and the host was like a sniper gun, it was the feeling of palpitations, and he intuitively thought that there should be many monsters hidden in the corner, and the number of monsters must be quite a few.

Kujo Yui no longer hesitated, and threw a long sword out in a direction he was aiming at, attacking that thing.

I don't know if those things are poisonous or not, but this is the safest way. He picked up this long sword randomly on the ground, and there are still many weapons scattered on the ground in this place.

However, although these things were not randomly picked, they may have been left here by the expedition team that came here.

Kujo Yui is sure that this place is on the second floor, and it may have been brought up by the water flow. Didn't the mermaid control the water flow to hit a place last time?

The current made them rush out, but I feel that these weapons should have been scattered here from that time.

Kujo Yui just picked up the weapons on the ground so casually, it might not be enough to rely on his own weapons.

Sure enough, I was more comfortable with this weapon, and that thing was obviously missed.

But there was also a black shadow rushing out, he slipped out along the corner of the wall, Kutiao Yui clearly caught that thing and disappeared in an instant.

There is no way for his eyes to capture it accurately. It seems that he will indeed strengthen his eyesight training in the future.

Otherwise, there is no way to capture these things at all, Kutiao Wei deliberately kept an eye on it in his heart.

This thought just disappeared in a flash, but he once again desperately followed that thing with his eyes.

He wanted to find him out again, but there were too many around him, and he didn't have time to take care of them.

It's just one thing. Although that one thing is gone, other things still exist. As long as he attacks, he will always be pulled out.

One time, Yui Kujo secretly launched attacks in that place one after another. He felt that his hands were a little donated and his memory was fixed. When he was like a machine, he attacked the absolutely dangerous place next to him.

At the same time, Shiism's mouth is also endlessly directing him to them, and every time the lively sentences are accurately executed, they are executing the nine only sentences in an orderly manner.

One by one, they are like well-trained soldiers. Although they don't quite understand Kutiao Wei's opinions, they still follow the words of doctrine in an orderly manner, and they don't dare to violate them at all.

So now they worked so hard and nodded in satisfaction before the danger happened, not thanks to his training for so long.

They have been together for a long time, and they have dealt with many things when they were on the boat, but even though there are weird things at this time, they still showed their tacit understanding and worked together to defeat these things.

Kujo Yui believes that as long as they continue to work hard like this, they can find out these things.

Finally, they caught an object and identified it accurately. The object had a shape. When they caught that object, they also injured a person.

That one person volunteered to stand up, if he didn't enter the tiger's den, how could he get a tiger's cub? The danger that that person took on his own initiative was that they were injured by that animal.

A black figure almost bit his neck, but it also bit his shoulder, blood flowed profusely, he couldn't stop the blood flowing out, and something seemed to be going into his body.

But he pulled it out here desperately.

To be precise, it was a small thing that could be as big as a palm. It was covered with blue scales, and it looked like a crocodile.

But it's really not like a crocodile, even the cubs of a crocodile are not so small.

What exactly was that thing he looked at carefully?

There are still dangers around them constantly spying on them, so Kujo Yui didn't have time to watch what it was, but the tour guide Ada spoke.

"Whether it is something that seems to be recorded in an ancient book, but I can't remember the name of this thing, we still have to destroy this thing as soon as possible."

"In that case, do you know what to attack them with?"

"It is to attack their heads, so that they can die quickly."

After a strange and brief exchange, the tour guide and Kujo Yui both understood each other's thoughts, but this thing is inherently small, and it is so easy to attack their heads, so there are still other ways.

Although as long as they don't attack the head, if they attack other places and destroy their bodies, it can also be a fatal attack.

That is to say, it will be a little more troublesome, Kujo Yui still wants to burn this place with a fire, and burn all these things, anyway, if there are many trees here.There shouldn't be any danger.

I always feel that although thinking this way really dispels the idea of ​​myself, there are too many people here, he can't burn all these things with a fire, there are so many trees like burns, he can't destroy all these things.

Kujo Yui could only let go of his heart silently and decided to defeat these things step by step and steadily.

Although damage may be caused during the period, it is also somewhat more irrepressible than the wall that completely wiped out the danger.

Now they are very nervous to come. If there is no danger, then they might really fall short of success.

Jiu Tiao Wei cannot allow this kind of thing to happen.

Other people have also become Jiutiaowei's instructions one after another. Although some are dissatisfied, they still silently affirm Jiutiaowei in their hearts.

For Jiu Tiao Wei Xiaoquan, Ma Zilou Jiu Tiao Wei pointed west and they never went east, that is to say, they would always follow Jiu Tiao Wei's order.

Finally, with everyone's concerted efforts and tacit cooperation, these things were finally defeated gradually, and they managed to break out of the encirclement.

Some people also made noises. Their husband's blood-soaked window was almost all hit and harassed by those things, but they did not cry or make a fuss, and walked forward firmly.

They supported each other one by one, and they had a tacit understanding with each other, after this battle.

Their tacit understanding has once again been sublimated to a higher level.

It is always said that a true friend is a partner who studies and fights together, but they also feel it at this time, and they feel more harmonious than usual.

Although everyone's feelings are sublimated here, some people also have conflicts, and some of these conflicts may cause a pause in the future.

Kutiao Yui repeatedly urged them, and finally suppressed them.

But the expectation of heartbeat cannot be excreted through pressure, it must be vented.

So Kutiao Wei decided to explain clearly to them after they walked out of this place, of course this is not the time to explain.

Of course, everything has to wait until later, and he can't guarantee whether he will be able to find time later.

The most urgent task now is to find that bead. As long as that bead is solved, all the chaos may come to an abrupt end.

I don't know that all the beads exist in this place. This place has changed its appearance and is completely different from when I came here before.

In other words, they may not be able to find beads in this place, so in other places?

"Is this mermaid here?" Kujo Yui asked.

Because he guessed that the bead might also be transferred by the beauty. After all, the bead is really important to the mermaid, and it might be difficult for the mermaid to avoid people who can judge the bead.

But this is just a guess of Kutiao Yui, and Kutiao Yui's guess is just not true.

Even if he is a very powerful person, Yui Kujo believes in his guess, but it is not true.

On the other side, Chie Hanayamain finally came to this place and silently entered the bottom of the water.

She used to come from this palace, so she can be found here accurately.

Even though the location of the palace was moved, with the help of so many people, he still found this place accurately.

Maybe it's because of the telepathy with Kujo, every time he makes a mistake, he can find this place exactly.

Everyone praised Kujo Yui and Hanayamain Chie for having an inexplicable telepathy, especially that coward.

"Hanayamain Chie, you really paid a lot for Kujo Yui, are you sure it's really worth it?"

"I'm sure if Kujo Yui is not found, then I will be very sad."

Hanayamain Chie bluntly warned herself in her heart, and at the same time showed him a smile on the surface, showing a reassuring smile.

That smile made the panic in his heart dissipate without a trace, and he knew that he once had such a caring person.

It's just that after being Xiaozhuang's master, he gradually alienated that person.

It's a pity that when you give up something, you can get something. When God closes a door for you, he will also open a window for you.

Fish and bear's paw can't have both, making good use of Sima Yan knows that it is not a blessing. He is also very happy to meet a master, the master Huashanyuan Chie, to serve him.

So he paid more attention to Chie Hanayamain, as long as Chie Hanayamain was in danger, she would definitely step forward to settle with her without fear of death.

Even if she encountered a monster on the water, she would just kill that monster with a single slash.

Under his escort, Hanayamain Chie finally came to that palace safely.

In the palace, he was the first to see a group of monsters, and the coward who attacked him bravely stood up and stood beside him with a sword.

He yelled, but he was just an arrogant person who dared to attack Chie Hanayamain.

He just swung his sword again and crackled. The thing seemed to have been electrocuted and deployed the power grid under the water, but the scope of this thing was not large, and it seemed to be within the range he could control.

Under the water, the power of the lightning became even stronger, and it spread over a large area, so it spread for a long time to cover all these things.

Then it gradually disappeared without a trace under the hedge of the water flow, but this area was still affected.

It is estimated that there have been no fish groups for a long time, and dare to approach here.

He let out a breath, finally returned the colonoscope and turned his gaze to Chie Hanayamain.

"Hanayamain Chie, I will definitely protect your safety. May I ask if this is where Kujo Yui is?"

"That's right, I feel Kujo Yui's aura while living here." Chie Hanayamain nodded lightly. Although she didn't know Kujo Yui's real location, she had an inexplicable feeling in her heart.

Maybe this is the woman's magical sixth sense, which saved him several times before.

Even if the forecast is rarely wrong, it can be said to be a hundred shots, but in this case, her feeling is whether Kujo Yui is safe and sound in this place.

Although she was sure that Yui Kujo was here, but maybe if he wasn't here, in case his feeling went wrong for the first time in so long, it would definitely not happen.

At the beginning, he also helped his father, because he used his sixth sense to help his father escape. In this case, it is absolutely impossible for him to find Kujo Yui.

Because Jiutiaowei's position in his heart is very important, if you attach so much importance to Jiutiaowei, if you can't find it, wouldn't it be worthless to talk about Jiutiaowei's position in his heart.

She absolutely doesn't believe in herself, and doesn't care about Yui Kujo, as long as she cares about Yui Kujo, she will be able to have telepathy with him, Chie Hanayamain comforted herself in her heart.

They strode forward and used this unrealistic comfort to convince themselves that they could find Kujo Yui, so that their hearts would not be too worried.

She went deep inside, wondering if Jiu Tiao Wei must still stay in this place after so long, would he be in danger.

Chie Hanayamain asked herself with such uncertainty in her heart.

The coward woke up and followed him, he always felt that his little master was so absent-minded.

As if there was some strange expression on his face, the little master's expression was greatly affected.

In desperation, he could only go forward to comfort his little master.

"Hanayamain Chie, don't worry. If Kujo Yui is really in this place, then he must be saved. If he has already left here, then there is absolutely no danger."

"Staying in this place after so long, I believe Kujo Yui's strength will be fine. If something happens, isn't this place even bigger after the turmoil, so how can you panic?"

His words are becoming more and more untenable. After all, this place is completely different from before, so it is uncertain whether logistics will be more dangerous here than before.

Chie Huashanin couldn't support it before, and it was born with the help of Kujo Yui, otherwise it would be dangerous now, as for sovereignty, it is really difficult to be safe in this place.

If Kujo Yui is not safe, he may have to be sad for Chie Hanayamain for a while. I don't know if Chie Hanayamain will do something drastic, but now he thinks so in his heart.

The two of them each had their own ghosts, and walked forward to Jiutiaowei. Of course, it is not in danger now.

It's been a long time, and I haven't seen that mermaid. I don't know where that mermaid went.

But that's one less theory for us which is a good thing.

Kujo Yui judged so.

In front of them, they saw the bead, which is really unbelievable. Although they have experienced a lot before, they still feel a little relaxed after seeing the bead like this.

After all, last time I was chased by a mermaid running around.

Kutiao Wei thought so in his heart, he walked forward a little unconfidently, wanting to export that bead.

But I am afraid that the dream bubble will disappear at the touch of a button, what if there is a trap next to that thing.

I heard that there is a treasure chest before, but it is actually a kind of treasure chest monster, which must have been seen in the game.

How could such a thing exist in reality.

Someone is making fun of him.

The people in the back were arguing about it, but they were all arguing in a peaceful tone and did not fight.

They just feel that their side is too relaxed, the matter has been resolved, and it is not consistent now.

"In any case, this is what we have worked so hard to get. Although we didn't see those mermaids and other so-called them hiding in the dark this time, these things have arrived before our eyes and we must not give up."

Kujo Yui said so, he strode forward, if there is any danger, let me try it myself.

Kujo Yui boldly grabbed the place where the table was, with ease.

As a result, there was not much water left in the belly of the bead.

It seems that it has disappeared during these few battles, and the water in that bead is fluctuating, twisting crazily, like a whirlpool on the body, constantly spinning, like a whirlwind inside a storm, Spinning impatiently, gathered on it.

How this thing is slightly similar to the climate outside, Kutiao Yui thought of his performance in his heart, and said it, but the feeling in his heart was more serious than this.

In fact, this is not just similar to the outside, but exactly the same. The outside climate is formed through this.

Kutiao Yui made such an exact judgment in his heart.

Someone agreed with Jiutiaowei's words: "That's right, I think these two points are really too similar, maybe this bead is connected to the outside climate."

This sentence was said by the little Saito Nanako. Saito Nanako came to the side, stared at the thing with a serious face, and was able to touch it lightly with her hand.

There was no fluctuation in it, but the water flowed, but it became more violent, and a whirlwind rolled up, sticking to her hand.

Her hand left a mark over there and quickly disappeared. In fact, there was no mark at all, but the water flow inside was fluctuating and gathered here.

It's as if Saito Nanako's hand is a magnet, and the water attracted by Saito Nanako took those things away with her hand, and ticked again, like the water droplets in a clear spring.

Kujo Yui also tried to turn these things upside down in his hands, and found that this thing is indeed like a magical treasure, which is different from other treasures.

Will these also be able to pass through the weird vessel? If there is this or that hitchhiker's classmates, will they be resurrected.

Kujo only thought of putting these things away in his heart, but he didn't think so. He just held this thing for a while and then decided to break something. After all, he has reached this point.

"It would be a pity if all previous efforts were wasted now. If we can't smash this thing, we might not be able to go out. Let's try to smash this thing first, and there will be a way to turn things around. Even if we are trapped here, it will be useless."

Kujo Yui thought that he wouldn't be him, and he was ready to slap him to sleep on the ground without any danger.

But when he slammed the thing onto the ground, he found that the water inside didn't spill out and there wasn't a single crack.

This thing is really too strong, Kutiao Yui also let out a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately it is not broken, if this thing is broken, he will ask for it, in fact, he just had an attempt just now.

After all, there are so many people here, if these people are trapped here because of this thing, then he is really to blame, there is no way to shirk these people, but he believes in him very much.

Ever since, Kutiao Wei turned his head and said to these people: "Please leave this place first and leave it to me. If this place is trapped, it's just me. You can go outside." Help, there is still a chance in the future."

Kutiaowei told them here, "And you must not be reckless in the future, and you must be careful."

"Don't make it seem like you're at home. We're worried about you. At least let us stay here with you."

"I want to stay here with you. No matter what, I will not abandon you. After all, we have cooperated for so long. Kujo Yui, please let me stay here. I want to stay here anyway. If I don't If it's here, I'll stay here with a dead skin."

"Even if you want to bask in this bead, I will interfere with you."

"Yeah, if you don't let me stay here in the future, even if I become weird, I will haunt you." Little Saito Nanako also said to Kujo Yui with this firm look.

Yui Kujo really had no choice but to look at them.

"Please believe me, I am a healing person. If I had me, I might be able to heal your injuries, and even help you when you are in a crisis." Ada also added.

In the end he agreed, and they stayed here together, Yui Kutiao stayed here with the three of them.

One of the three people's names is Ada, the other is the one who hitchhiked, and Nanako Saito will also stand at this place with Kujo Yui.

That's 4 people. They're here. They believe that as long as we're all invincible together, we'll be fearless.

Not to mention the anxious atmosphere of concerted efforts above.

And there is an even more anxious atmosphere on the other side, because there is a life-and-death crisis in anxiety.

It can be said that they are in danger, and those people's pupils are almost unbelievable, and a huge monster is crushed from above.

That thing is very huge, even the ships docked on the sea surface are not half the size of that thing and dive straight towards them from above.

The people on the boat were pushed and covered their eyes, and they couldn't see the thing clearly, they could only see a shadow cast down.

Anyone with eye nerves can see that it is actually a very large fish.

They are projected down, and you are as for which fish jumps into the sky and jumps up from the sea.

Come to the sky and let them devour it means gosh, look what it is.

"I said it's not safe to stop here," someone on the boat called out, and someone else said, "Should we go inside, he will definitely not be able to find us."

It's useless to go inside as a joke, this thing is so big, what if it eats us up, we must be careful.

Their voices were so dense that it was almost impossible to hear who made the voice. If Yui Kujo was here, he would not be so confused.

It's a pity that they didn't have Kutiaowei's organization, and it was already in chaos all of a sudden.

Because there is no backbone here, they have become a mob, and someone is organizing order in full swing, but there is no way they don't listen to him, he doesn't have much prestige.

The deputy remembers being overwhelmed here, and went down with them before revenge, but he had to come up early, because he was injured before because his body was not strong enough to support them, so he came up early to accompany these people and escort them.

But the ability of the deputy is not as strong as Yui Kujo and the captain. He is simply powerless, and it is useless to face these.

He could only let out a sigh of relief, knowing that everything was irreversible.

"We can only go to a distant place by boat. I don't know if we can stop this situation. What if Kujo Yui can't find us?"

"We are right next to us. I don't know if we can escape. They are in danger of our lives now. If we are still here. If we think about it, we will definitely be cold." The deputy said such words without a doubt .

He also used a conjunction at the end, but it can show the urgency of his current mood, you are just the thing above.

In fact, it is a dead whale carcass. After the whale in the sea dies, it will sink to the bottom of the sea and be swallowed by many things and become their nourishment.
