After the fog, I became a birdman

Because the nearby ground was bare and there was no combustible material, the fire only surrounded the Fengcheng base and did not spread to the vicinity.

Thick smoke enveloped the entire Fengcheng base, Su Qing flew down, smelled some familiar smells in the air, coughed and asked in a low voice: "Is someone dead?"

"Well, the cold got worse and fever, and some people with poor health went there." Qi Jiang felt a little pity in his heart.

Su Qing sighed: "The volcano and the plague are over, why...forget it, I'm not from the base, so I don't have this position to say anything."

The two quickly came to Mr. Han's office, and happened to see him coming out with a notebook, and Tan Yilong and others were also waiting outside the door.

Teacher Han was much more haggard than before, and he also caught a cold. When he saw Su Qing, he coughed and said hello: "Consultant Su is healed? Congratulations."

"It's not all ready yet, come and have a look today when you have time." Su Qing nodded lightly, letting him out.

Teacher Han paused for a moment: "Zhou Chen is back, are you free after class tonight? He said he found a spiritual vein."

Su Qing and Qi Jiang looked at each other, they hesitated for about two seconds and nodded: "Okay."

Nothing to talk about.

Teacher Han left in a hurry, Su Qing walked into the office and turned around to call everyone in. He looked up and saw Teacher Han who walked into the corner of the corridor, the white hair on the back of his head was very conspicuous.

There was a sudden movement in Su Qing's heart, and she couldn't help softening her heart, she closed her eyes and pondered.

Everyone walked in one after another, Qi Jiang took a few steps closer to Su Qing, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

He went in and listened to Qi Jiang solving problems for everyone, and got a general understanding of their progress, and then moved his eyes to Tan Yilong, who had a painful expression.

"Is healing jelly useless for the injury?" Su Qing asked suddenly.

Tan Yilong looked up in surprise, and smiled with white teeth: "It's useful, but the healing jelly is mainly for detoxification, and it's not very effective for external injuries."

Su Qing nodded slightly, and didn't ask any more questions, but asked everyone if they had any questions when Qi Jiang assigned He Mao homework.

Sun Miaomiao immediately raised her hand: "Consultant Su, I noticed that Consultant Qi also has space. I heard that it is a magic weapon. Can I learn this?"

"If you pass the assessment at the beginning of October, you can learn this." Su Qing nodded, then looked at the others, "The same goes for the others."

Everyone left not long after, and Su Qing and Qi Jiang stayed in the office, taking advantage of the free time before Zhou Chen came to discuss the details of the assessment in a few days.

knock knock!

There was a knock on the door, and Qi Jiang put away the pen and paper in his hand: "Come in."

The door opened, and a man wearing an animal skin coat and animal skin pants walked in. Qi Jiang's gaze was paused for a second by the primitive aura rushing towards his face.

Zhou Chen looked like he came here after he had been groomed. His shoes, face and hair were covered with a layer of yellow dust, but his clothes were new, and his arms were bulging.

He turned around and closed the door, stood by the door and nodded respectfully: "Hello, two consultants."

Both Qi Jiang and Su Qing whispered hello, and Zhou Chen walked inside. After he entered the three-meter range of Su Qing, Su Qing suddenly felt a heat in his heart, and clearly sensed the existence of the seeds for the first time. , the warm feeling in his chest told him that the things on Zhou Chen were useful to him.

After Qi Jiang noticed Su Qing's strangeness, he patted Su Qing's hand without a trace, and stretched out his hand to let Zhou Chen sit down first: "I heard Mr. Han said that you have something to tell us?"

Zhou Chen stood on the edge of the chair rather cautiously, and nodded lightly: "I heard that the two consultants need a lot of spiritual objects. Now I have discovered a big mine. I wonder if it is enough to pay the tuition?"

"What mine?" Qi Jiang asked him to continue.

"Wood type." Zhou Chen anxiously took out a piece of green ore from his bosom, and a faint wood aura overflowed.

Both Qi Jiang and Su Qing were not interested in wood elements, but Qi Jiang knew that Su Qing wanted it now so he asked Zhou Chen to show it to him.

The material of the ore looks like stone, but it feels like wood when you start with it. Qi Jiang weighed it in his hand and handed it to Su Qing naturally.

Su Qing closed his eyes and played with the Wood Spirit Mine in his hand, and felt a very faint, more subtle breath on the surface of the ore. After subconsciously absorbing it into his body, his heart beat even stronger.

Just now, when he sensed the existence of the seed for the first time, he knew that he had actually recognized the seed before, and now his body looks much healthier than before, but in fact it is just an illusion, all thanks to the seed in his body. A protective net is constructed at the heart.

In the past, the seeds could not protect him because of the lack of aura. Now that the aura is revived, he can be like a normal person without worrying about getting sick if he blows a little wind.

After all, the protective net is a foreign object, but the vitality contained in the ore brought by Zhou Chen can really make his heart stronger.

Su Qing lowered his head, his eyes flickered, and quickly put the stone back into Qi Jiang's hands, his movements were a little heavier, others couldn't see it, but Qi Jiang understood what he meant.

Returning the Muling Mine to Zhou Chen, Qi Jiang looked at Zhou Chen again for a few seconds and nodded slightly: "How big is the big mine you are talking about?"

"About ten kilometers long and six kilometers wide." Zhou Chen explained truthfully.

Qi Jiang's eyebrows twitched, this is really a big mine.

He turned his head to look at Su Qing, frowning slightly: Could it be another new dragon vein?

Su Qing shook his head slightly: "The aura of this wood spirit vein is scattered, not restrained enough, it should be just an ordinary wood spirit mine."

The unusual ones should be near the spiritual veins, or things deep in the spiritual veins.

The trace of vitality floated on the surface of the spirit mine, obviously the breath of other spirits diffused and touched the wood spirit mine.

Qi Jiang hummed: "We're going to inspect the goods, and we'll talk about it then."

The two knew most of the locations of the spiritual veins in the Fengcheng base, but they had never touched them. Zhou Chen knew this clearly and gave them his map with confidence.

It was late, Qi Jiang and Su Qing took their leave first, and opened the map to take a look at it on the way.

"He doesn't seem to have walked far." Qi Jiang noticed the clue, "He went in a different direction from the survey team, and found the wood spirit vein when he walked back."

"It should be after the big earthquake, the outside world expanded, and he walked back because he was afraid that he would not be able to come back." Su Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, "It seems that the spirit vein you discovered before may have appeared after the last big earthquake .”

There is no point in guessing this at present, Qi Jiang put away the map: "Go and say goodbye to Uncle Qi first, then you go home first, and I will help you find out what is different about this spirit vein."

Although Tan Yilong's overall speed was mediocre, but he had walked for so long, and the amount of distance accumulated made it impossible for them to go back on the same day.

Su Qing's illness is not fully healed, and he definitely can't bear it outside, so he nodded lightly: "Okay, I'll come here for class when the time comes, and you have to be careful when you go out."

"Well, you should also pay attention to your health at home."

The two slowly left the Fengcheng base, and after going out, they flew under the waterfall and flew along the Yuhe River. After flying for about half an hour, they saw Li Qishu and the others.

They have been walking for more than three hours, and it is more than 300 kilometers away from the Fengcheng base. Roasted animal carcasses and skeletons.

The flames were flying on the bank, and although the river course was difficult to walk, there was no need to deal with the fire scene, so Li Qishu and the others took the river course.

Boo!

The arrival of the sound wave made everyone a little nervous, and they summoned the magic weapon well-trained to form a formation and looked up at the sky.

Uncle Li Qi recognized Su Qing's cry, raised his hand and pressed down: "Don't be nervous, this is Su Qing."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief: "So it's Senior Su and the others."

Su Qing and Qi Jiang waited for them to relax and then landed in the river. Uncle Li Qi came forward: "It's hard for you to come out and see me off."

"Uncle Seven was joking, you want to go back, I feel guilty for not coming to see you off immediately." Su Qing smiled embarrassedly, and took out a big package, "Time is precious, so I won't waste everyone's time, These are the warm clothes I prepared for you, the temperature is low at night, and I don’t know how long you will have to walk on the road, I hope it can be useful.”

"You have a heart." Li Qishu took it without any surprise, "With your clothes, we can relax when we drive at night."

Although the fire scene is raging now, but with so many fire points, these combustible materials will be burned out sooner or later. When the temperature drops, Su Qing's clothes will come in handy.

"These are a few spirit-gathering arrays, just made, and each one can last for about fifteen days." Su Qing took out a few simple arrays, "Seventh Uncle, don't dislike them."

Uncle Li Qi took over the Spirit Gathering Formation with a look of surprise: "You really researched it? With your Spirit Gathering Formation, we don't have to give up when we encounter spiritual veins on the road."

After all the things were given, time was precious at night, Qi Jiang smiled lightly and said, "It's getting late, I'll drop by Uncle Qi and them for a while, you go back first."

"Hey, there's no need to give it away." Uncle Li waved his hand, he could naturally regard himself as an elder to Su Qingneng, but he was still a bit hypocritical to Qi Jiang, and didn't dare to bother him, "You guys go back."

"Seventh Uncle, Brother Jiang has something to do, so he happened to see you off along the way." Su Qing smiled and shook her head, "It's still a bit slow to walk, Brother Jiang made a small magic weapon before, just so you can get acquainted with it. "

Hearing this, Uncle Li Qi couldn't resist the temptation, looked at Qi Jiang and nodded with a light smile: "Then I will trouble you."

"No trouble, let's go first." Qi Jiang took out a magic weapon that looked like a flying carpet.

This is what he did before, and the speed was quite fast at first, but now the effect has been halved, if Su Qing hadn't mentioned this magic weapon suddenly on the way, he would have forgotten it.

The speed of the flying carpet was not as fast as Li Qishu's Yujian, but it was also much faster than everyone rushing on the ground.

Su Qing watched them fly away along the river, and it took a long time before they flew home.

The temperature dropped quickly. When passing by a herd of animals, Su Qing found that a familiar herd of animals was changing positions. The fire surrounding them had been extinguished, and they left the encirclement of the fire and went to another place.

The new place used to be a fire site, but it appeared earlier, and all the vegetation inside had been burned long ago, and now it has all turned into ashes. Except for the poor air quality caused by the ash rising from the plants and trees when walking around, there is no combustible material. Dividers don't make much of a difference.

The most noticeable difference is probably that it is closer to the Fengcheng base.

Su Qing frowned slightly, slowed down and flew towards the Fengcheng base, and found that many half-monsters and monsters had been able to bypass the fire and come to the vicinity of the Fengcheng base, and some had even entered the isolation zone of the Fengcheng base.

The isolation zone is the bare ground outside the Fengcheng base. There are no other obstacles here except for some sentries and the territory of solitary mutants.

There are many forests in this Xintiandi, but when they appear, they are dead objects. After being exposed to the sun for so long, they have already become dry and brittle. Wildfires together are a prairie fire, and the burning time is far less than that of wet wood.

Of course, the predecessors of these trees are very wonderful. Some of them will not catch fire even if they are burned again, some can burn for a long time with a little bit, and some will emit fragrance when they burn, and so on.

But no matter what, the fire has been burning for so many days, and it has entered a period of decline, and the obstacles between the Fengcheng base and the herd will become less and less.

Some people have disappeared from Fengcheng Base these days, Master Han must know what is going on, but Su Qing still flew around Fengcheng Base, drew a rough map, and went directly to the guard at the gate as before. Throw it over there, don't care after throwing it away, go directly to Shanshan.

Shanshan is still hunting now. Shantu has awakened blood and has become taller and stronger. The black horns on the top of his head look like steel.

His ability to control the soil has also become much better than before. He can easily turn over a layer of soil, lead Shan Shan to create a trail in the fire field, and sneak attack the half-monster beasts lurking nearby like a fish in water.

Su Qing observed for a while, and unexpectedly found that Shantu's talent was also very high. If he hadn't broken a leg, in time, even if his ability was not as good as Tan Yilong, he would not lose to He Mao and the others.

When they retreated into the fire after a surprise attack, Su Qing threw a stone down and shouted, "Shan Shan!"

"Meow!"

Su Qing smiled lightly and flew down, hugged Shanshan who was flying over, and kissed his black cat girl covered in black ashes through the mask.

"Consultant Su." Shantu walked over briskly, leaning on a cane, with the same simple and honest smile as before, "I heard that Consultant Qi said that you are sick, why come here when you have time?"

Su Qing enthusiastically rubbed Shanshan's fur, raised his head and his expression became much colder, but still with a hint of a smile: "Come and take Shanshan back to live for a while, I see that you seem to be struggling when digging the soil, yes Are there any problems?"

Shantu scratched his head: "The soil is too solid."

Hearing this, Su Qing sized him up a few more times, and after asking a few more questions, he found that he still had one ability that he couldn't use.

It is the leg ability, which seems to be related to running and dashing.

Su Qing felt a little pity in his heart, but he didn't regret that he acquiesced to Qi Jiang to rescue him by cutting off Shantu's legs. If they didn't do this, they didn't want to make Shanshan sad. On the premise of not giving up Shantu, they could only choose Exposure space.

People's hearts are separated from each other, and since they have suffered this kind of loss, they will not bet on humanity anymore.

"The fire scene has entered a period of decline. I just want to take Shanshan back. You can go home and rest these few days." Su Qing thought for a while, and probably taught him a few small skills, "If there is anything you don't understand , you can ask me after I finish my class in the evening."

Shantu is like a treasure, he never thought that Su Qing would teach him these things. He has heard Qi Jiang's lectures before, and he knows how useful these little skills in Qi Jiang's mouth are.

Lecture time is limited, and Qi Jiang's lectures are wide-ranging. Many things are just a general idea to provide them with an idea. Shantu is only digging out his own ability to turn the soil. guessing.

But when Su Qing told him the method directly, Shantu suddenly realized, and suddenly understood a lot.

"Consultant Su, I really don't know how to thank you." Shantu's expression was agitated, "I haven't been able to repay you and Consultant Qi for saving your life, but this time you taught me such a thing again, I..."

"These are not worth anything." Su Qing never thought about asking Shantu to repay him, and even felt a little helpless in his heart, "Just don't let Shanshan be lazy again."

Shantu was stunned for a moment, with an embarrassed expression on his face: "Sorry, I..."

"Okay, this is not the place to talk, I'll take you back." Su Qing interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "It's getting late, let's go."

Su Qing sent Shan Shan back to the base and took Shan Shan back to the base. On the way, he felt a little helpless and clicked on Shan Shan, who was spread into cat cakes in his arms.

"Meow~" Shan Shan tilted her head to show off her cuteness.

Su Qing was impressed, and snorted softly: "You have good eyesight. When he learns what I taught him, he can really catch up with your footsteps, and you don't need to go the other way to cooperate with his steps."

Since he can help Shanshan, to him, this person is not saved in vain.

Shanshan's Maoyan turned around, stood up and lay in Su Qing's arms and rubbed his neck: "Meow~"

"Okay, okay, I don't want to say anything." Su Qing nodded the little guy's head again, and finally stopped talking.

Although he said he disliked it, Su Qing actually appreciated the mountain map more and more. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't talk too much about the mountain map.

He himself likes to ponder the principles of energy operation, so he also likes people who love to think.

Shantu used to be too naive and straightforward, but perhaps he has undergone major changes, so he has become much more sensitive than before, and he has also learned to think.

Talented, hard-working, thinking, and his daughter's partner, if Su Qing doesn't help the gang, Shanshan will be harmed in the future, so naturally he won't be cold-hearted towards Shantu like before.

Falling on the small cliff, Shanshan was no longer in the sky, stretched his waist and licked his dark paws, Su Qing frowned, grabbed Shanshan's black paws and opened the door: "Don't lick it. , how dirty."

Taking the black cat princess to take a bath, Su Qing looked at the pitch-black water in the basin, and couldn't help but criticize: "Why does it become so dirty every time I go to Shantu?"

"Meow?"

"You have chosen your partner, why don't Dad find you a bodyguard and nanny." Su Qing said while washing, "What kind of monster do you like? Dad will try to find you."

Shan Shan blinked, then widened her cat's eyes and stretched out her claws expectantly to point to the direction of Jin Jin's lair. Su Qing was silent for a moment: "That's my younger brother, not a bodyguard or nanny."

Hearing this, Shanshan shook his head: "Meow!" Then no more!

Su Qing: ...

"With so many people, you've already identified him, right?" He asked angrily.

Shanshan started to act cute again, Su Qing had no choice but to open her mouth and finally didn't say anything about her.

Back then when Shantu was in the cave, he only thought about Shanshan. His behavior of putting Shanshan in the most important position and considering Shanshan more important than his own life made Su Qing feel deeply.

If it wasn't like this, even if Su Qing rescued him, he wouldn't let Shanshan follow Shantu, and would definitely find a new partner for his daughter, or even stop looking.

She cherishes her life like Su Qing, she knows very well that she can't achieve the level of Shantu, no matter how much she loves Shanshan, the most important thing is herself, and now there is Qi Jiang in front of Shanshan.

He also knew how precious the relationship between Shantu and Shanshan was beyond life, so even though Su Qing didn't think much of Shantu, he still chose to respect Shanshan's choice in the end.

Even though his heart is very sad and sad, but as long as he thinks that he can't put Shanshan first, and can't sacrifice his life for her, Su Qing will not do unnecessary actions under the excuse of Shanshan's good , such as preventing the two from meeting and so on.

Even though he usually said a lot of harsh words in front of Qi Jiang, he also complained a lot.

If it was said that Su Qing was patient for Shanshan before, but as time went by, Shantu also managed to change Su Qing's view.

Now that he changed his mind and his daughter recognized him again, Su Qing had to find a way to heal Shantu's leg.

After washing Shan Shan again, Su Qing wrapped the cat in a towel and put it aside, then went to pour water.

After washing the bathtub and putting it away, and wiping his hands, Su Qing touched Shanshan's stomach and felt that it was not too bulging. Just as he was about to ask, his nose felt a little itchy. He sneezed with his head tilted and asked in a nasal voice: "I'm full tonight." Yet?"

"Meow~" Shanshan nodded.

Seeing this, Su Qing just took a little snack and put it in her small bowl.

When Su came out of the shower after washing, Shanshan had already run to his bed and squatted down, and even squatted on Qi Jiang's pillow specially.

"Be careful when your uncle comes back and beats your ass." Su Qing smiled and changed the pillow, sat on the head of the bed and rubbed the cat for a while, then began to meditate.

After feeling the existence of the seeds, Su Qing knew how to control the overflow of the seeds' energy.

It was inconvenient in the office before, but now that he has returned to his own territory, Su Qing also wants to know why this seed can subtly affect the physique of the surrounding creatures.

This is an ancient seed, which has been dormant for countless years, and its name is Good Fortune.

The word good fortune is enough to explain how extraordinary the origin of this seed is. The ancient good fortune tree has benefited countless creatures and bestowed countless good fortune. This kind of act of stealing the power of heaven finally made it condemned by heaven and withered in the thunder.

But this kind of spiritual tree has always been loved by heaven and earth, and the tree of good fortune finally got a chance to leave a seed for itself, but it failed to germinate again after countless years.

The seed itself is intelligent. During the long period of dormancy, it only woke up briefly a few times due to certain stimuli or the means of some monks, so there are some sporadic memory fragments.

Originally, he just wanted to know the origin of this seed, but when he saw these memory fragments, Su Qing suddenly opened his eyes, clutching the quilt with moist eye sockets, unable to regain his composure for a long time.

In the last memory fragment, a person Su Qing was most grateful for appeared.

His grandfather, Su Hai, was nearly 20 years younger than Su Hai.

It was an altar. Su Hai half-kneeled on the ground, and solemnly took down the only green jade box in the center of the altar, which was engraved with a picture of countless birds and beasts worshiping a towering tree.

After the jade box was opened by Su Qing, it disappeared, leaving only a shriveled seed that looked like a mung bean.

There were more than a dozen people lying on the side of the altar, and only Li Nan, who was also 20 years younger, knelt on the ground alone, nervously watching his surroundings: "Old Su, how are you doing? Did you gain anything?"

Su Hai sighed deeply, turned around with ashen face to let her see the seed: "It's the spiritual seed."

Li Nan looked disappointed: "Even if this spiritual seed had the power of the sky before, we couldn't plant it, and even if we could plant it, Susu couldn't wait."

Su Hai was still half-kneeling on the ground, and moved his hands as if he wanted to throw them away, but in the end he closed his hands and grasped the seeds tightly: "Try it, I don't know when the poison in my body will explode, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, even if I immediately If I die, I will die with no regrets."

At this moment, Su Hai's sincere, unadulterated obsession awakened the seed, and in the dark palm of his hand, the seed flashed a green light.

From then on, the memory of the seed recorded the various methods Su Hai tried. In the end, amid repeated disappointments, the young Su Qing breathed air into his body. Put it in a bottle.

This darkness lasted for thirteen or fourteen years.

The next time the light reappeared, there was a pale Su Qing in the picture, shaking hands to scramble a box of medicine bottles, and swallowed the seeds mistakenly for pills.
