Chapter 746 Invited A Guardian!
“Before coming here, I checked the environment and specially made some preparations. Although I know that there are a lot of venomous snakes and insects here, I didn’t expect that there would be so many.”
Seeing that the snakes and insects had dispersed, Zhao Shanlin frowned, walked to Fang Qiu with a solemn expression, and said, “It will be a problem if it goes on like this. What should we do?”
Fang Qiu was also frowning.
He knew that once the terrain was built, the Qi of Heaven and Earth would gather and would attract the poisonous snakes and insects in the surrounding areas. Although he could easily scare away these poisonous creatures with just a little bit of his powers, it was not a long-term solution.
Fang Qiu could not just drop everything and run over to this place daily, just to release his power.
Noticing that Fang Qiu was lost in thought, Zhao Shanlin did not want to disturb him. Instead, he hurried to check on the Desert Cistanche to see if there was any damage.
After a thorough inspection, he found that not a single Desert Cistanche had been damaged.
“It’s all because of those pesticides.”
Zhao Shanlin breathed a sigh of relief. Meanwhile, he was very satisfied with the fact that he had sprayed the pesticides in advance.
“I got it!”
After pondering for a while, Fang Qiu’s eyes suddenly lit up.
By nature, all these creatures had their own territories. For example, the territory of the king of the forest was a place that other animals did not dare to enter. Once they stepped into it, they were simply looking for death.
That was to say…
He had to find an animal that was able to defend this cultivation area and intimidate all the other types of beasts.
It seemed that only guardian beasts could frighten all these kinds of beasts!
If he was able to capture a guardian beast, those venomous creatures would definitely not dare to return.
“Yes.”
Thinking of this, Fang Qiu nodded lightly and murmured to himself, “It looks like I have to catch a guardian beast.”
“What did you say?”
Zhao Shanlin, who happened to be pa.s.sing by, asked him.
“No, nothing.”
Fang Qiu chuckled and said, “You can continue to buy some pesticides to spread around. I’ll go and find someone to help. Maybe there will be another solution.”
“Okay.”
Zhao Shanlin immediately nodded and said, “I think this pesticide should be able to keep them away for a while.”
“Bro, do you really have a way to deal with it?”
Sun Hao asked from a distance.
“But there are just too many venomous snakes and insects.”
Zhu Benzheng added, with fear on his face.
“I should be able to come up with a solution.”
Fang Qiu replied.
“Sure.”
Zhou Xiaotian laughed and exclaimed, “He deserves to be the chairman of our company. He has a wide network of contacts.”
Fang Qiu rolled his eyes at Zhou Xiaotian, turned around and walked to an open s.p.a.ce not far away. Meanwhile, he took out his phone and dialed Li Ji’s number.
“h.e.l.lo?”
Li Ji answered.
“Do you have time to come to my place?”
Fang Qiu asked.
“It’s not far away.”
Li Ji replied, “Our station is over ten kilometers away from your cultivation base. I’ll come over right now.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you.”
Fang Qiu nodded.
About half an hour later, Li Ji arrived at the cultivation base.
He actually ran all the way here, instead of driving over.
It was impossible for ordinary people to run more than ten kilometers in half an hour, even for some ordinary special forces.
But Li Ji was a Martial Superior.
It was easy for him to run swiftly for 30 minutes. He was not even out of breath.
“What’s the matter?”
He ran all the way into the cultivation base. When he saw Fang Qiu, he stopped and asked.
“There’s something wrong here.”
Fang Qiu said, “Half an hour ago, all the venomous snakes, scorpions and insects in this desert gathered at the cultivation area and surrounded the whole area. I tried to trace the problem, but I found that these Desert Cistanche were growing well because this area was filled with the Qi of Heaven and Earth. Obviously, those creatures were also attracted by the Qi of Heaven and Earth and treated my Desert Cistanche as food.”
“Can’t you give those venomous insects medicine?”
Li Ji teased.
“They are not taking medicine. They’re taking in the Qi of Heaven and Earth.”
Fang Qiu stared at Li Ji and said, “Look, your station is not far from my cultivation base. Anyway, it’s only about ten kilometers away, so I would like to ask you to run outside my base during these two days. When you run, release your power so it will frighten those poisonous insects.”
“Oh.”
When Li Ji heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows and said, “Are you going to take me as the guardian here?”
“There will be benefits for you.”
Fang Qiu said with a smile.
“Okay.”
Hearing that there were benefits, Li Ji did not hesitate. He immediately nodded with a smile and said, “Then it’s settled.”
With the presence of Li Ji, the guardian here, there would definitely be no problem for the moment.
After informing Zhao Shanlin, Fang Qiu left.
After Fang Qiu left, everyone saw Li Ji appearing every two hours and running around the cultivation base.
After running two laps, he left.
Two hours later, he came again.
This scene made people in the cultivation base feel puzzled.
“What do you think this man is doing? Is he trying to lose weight?”
Zhao Shanlin asked the people in the cultivation base.
“Is he out of his mind? There are so many places where he could run in this wide land. Why does he have to run around our base?”
Zhou Xiaotian sneered and said, “Why are the people that Fang Qiu knows so weird?”
“Although he looks insane, I bet he must have some incredible skills.”
Sun Hao said, “At least, he’s not afraid of those venomous snakes or insects. Otherwise, he would not be so bold.”
“Eh?”
Hearing this, Zhou Xiaotian immediately said, “If you had not mentioned it, I would not have realized it. It seemed that those creatures are gone. This man must also be the king of the insect world in his previous life. Fang Qiu is the boss. And he is his subordinate. These two guys must have descended to the human world to experience the catastrophe. Those creatures are their descendants.”
“Tut-tut.”
Sun Hao rolled his eyes at Zhou Xiaotian and said, “I told you not to watch so many TV dramas. You just can’t be serious about things. Look at what you are now.”
“What do you know?”
Zhou Xiaotian snorted and said, “We are college students and we are the younger generation. We should follow the trend closely!”
“Follow the trend closely?”
Sun Hao glanced at Zhou Xiaotian and said, “Then go and play the game—PUBG. With your sense of direction, you will faint before you find anyone in the game!”
Zhu Benzheng shook his head speechlessly, turned around and went to do his work.
In his eyes, these two guys were simply fools. They were helpless!
Li Ji continued to run.
As for Fang Qiu, he went all the way to the West after leaving the cultivation base.
After about 20 kilometers, he would use his Divine Consciousness to probe and see if there were any Earth Treasures within 20 kilometers. Only by finding the Earth Treasures could he find the guardian beast and have a chance to subdue it.
He kept doing this until he was able to find one.
Subconsciously, Fang Qiu ran all the way to Tianshan.
“Yes!”
When they arrived at Tianshan, Fang Qiu wondered if there would be any Earth Treasure there.
As soon as he used his Divine Consciousness, he really felt that there was something strange about the Qi of Heaven and Earth in one place. However, judging from the exposed Qi of Heaven and Earth, it was obviously not as strong as the Earth Treasure. But it was almost the same.
“It’s not Earth Treasure. I don’t know if there are any guardian beasts. If there are, it will be great.”
Thinking of this, Fang Qiu immediately rushed to the place where he felt the movement of Qi of Heaven and Earth.
It was one of the magnificent mountains in Tianshan that was covered with snow. It was more like a mountain that was isolated from the rest of the mountains. If the entire mountain range was compared to a huge palm, then this mountain would be the thumb that was on the outer edge.
“Whoosh…”
As the wind of the mountain whistled through, Fang Qiu immediately rushed over.
He stopped at a snow-covered rock and looked at the source of the strange movement of the Qi of Heaven and Earth.
What appeared was a white flower about the size of a person’s head!
“Snow Lotus?”
When he saw this flower, Fang Qiu suddenly smiled.
This large Tianshan Snow Lotus was pure white, which was completely different from the ordinary light green colored type.
Like Desert Cistanche, the Tianshan Snow Lotus was also one of the nine magic herbs in Daoist.
Feeling ecstatic, Fang Qiu strode toward the Tianshan Snow Lotus.
However, just as Fang Qiu moved forward, he heard a m.u.f.fled sound.
“Gurgle…”
All of a sudden, he heard a somewhat m.u.f.fled sound.
“Eh?” Fang Qiu turned his head.
A little creature actually ran out from behind the rock where the Tianshan Snow Lotus grew.
“Tianshan Rat Hare?”
Looking at the little guy, Fang Qiu was shocked at first, but then his eyes lit up.
Tianshan Rat Hare looked like a rabbit and also a mouse. It was a kind of a small mammal. It had big ears, which gave it a cute appearance when seen for the first time.
Fang Qiu had seen it on the news.
This cute animal had been accidentally discovered by a Huaxia scientist in Tianshan 30 years ago. It had already been regarded as a new species.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, the Tianshan Rat Hare’s whiskers were very long and its fur was quite bright. There were spots on its forehead and neck. And its fur was brown-yellow or pure brown in color.
However, the whiskers of the Tianshan Rat Hare that appeared in front of Fang Qiu were not very long. There were no spots on its body and its fur was pure white.
He looked quite different from a normal rat-like hare.
“I really found it?”
Looking at this little creature, Fang Qiu’s eyes lit up.
Actually, when he left the cultivation base to look for guardian beasts, Fang Qiu thought that he should not look for a giant or mutated guardian beast. After all, it was difficult to tame that kind of guardian beast. Even if he took it back by force, not only would it scare everyone, but it might even hurt them. Of course, it was very likely that he would eat all of the Desert Cistanche.
Therefore, the search for the guardian beast became a difficult problem.
If he did not find the giant or mutated ones, could they still be regarded as guardian beasts?
After thinking about it carefully, he realized that the Desert Cistanche in the cultivation base was not considered as an Earth Treasure. The venomous snakes and insects outside were also ordinary poisonous creatures, so there was no need to find powerful guardian beasts to intimidate them.
Now it seemed that this Tianshan Rat Hare was a perfect solution.
Although it could be seen at a glance that the little creature had mutated, Fang Qiu could feel that it was not very aggressive. Though it did not look like a guardian beast, it was much stronger than a normal beast.
Moreover, if he took this little hare back, not only would it not scare people, but it would also endear itself to everyone. It was a matter of killing two birds with one stone.
He could not let this little creature escape!
