Chapter 250: Traveling Alone is Faster, Traveling Together is Farther
"Little sister Yun!"
When Chen Jue saw the familiar cloud pattern on the girl's forehead, he was slightly stunned: "Why are you here?"
Seeing Chen Jue's dazed look, Yun Xiaomei also laughed like a silver bell: "Didn't you, Brother Chen Jue, say that if you want to take it further, you should contact Uncle Liu and the others?"
When Chen Jue heard this, he suddenly remembered the message he sent to his friends in the mortal world before leaving the earth. He didn't expect that his unintentional action at that time would actually work.
Looking at the aura emanating from Yun Xiaomei again, it was a feeling of being round and transparent like an elixir. She no longer relied on the method of tortoise breathing to restrain her aura, but truly took the step of embracing the elixir .
"Little sister, have you mastered all ten body-building exercises?" Chen Jue was impressed by Yun Xiaomei's progress. This mountain girl who learned from nature finally took the step of breaking the limits of the human body.
"yes!"
"It was because I had mastered the Ten Body Strengthening Forms that I wanted to ask Brother Chen Jue for the subsequent training methods, but the messages I sent to you were all automatically replied to, so I contacted Uncle Liu and the others. After the base's tests, I finally found out that Brother Chen Jue had landed on the moon."
"Brother Chen Jue, you're going on a really long trip this time!" Yun Xiaomei smiled and slowly took off her heavy space suit, revealing a tight black combat suit.
The combat uniform set off her slender figure curves, making it look extremely beautiful, and even Chen Jue was awed by the sight.
Chen Jue felt that it had only been half a year since they last met, but Yun Xiaomei seemed to have become a different person. She had lost a lot of her childishness and became gradually mature.
The other candidates who had landed here also took off their helmets and greeted Chen Jue: "Master Chen! Long time no see, thank you for your hard work!"
"Mr. Zhong and Director Liu asked us to say hello to you. If it weren't for the intelligence you sent back from time to time, the base would not have been able to advance the Homeland Project so quickly."
Chen Jue recognized the two people who spoke. One was Sun Wu, the successor of Sunmen Tai Chi, and the other was Luo Qiong from Yongchun Baihe. These two were first-level candidates before, and their landing sequence was just after him.
Moreover, these two were already masters of Hua Jin, and they are now practicing the ten body-building moves left by Chen Jue. Both their kung fu and physical fitness have improved a lot. Although they haven't yet reached the Dan stage, judging by their restrained aura, they should be about to take the last half step.
As for the rest of them, they were all second-level candidates of the base. Except for one of them, a gentle young man wearing special glasses, Chen Jue had seen them all in the base before.
"We are all family members, and this is what I should do."
"You've been riding on the lunar spacecraft for so long, your buttocks must be numb, right? Come, I'll show you the beautiful scenery of this second home. I guarantee you'll like it here!" Chen Jue smiled slightly, exchanged a few words with a few people, and led everyone to the platform on the top of the mountain.
Chen Jue felt a little warm in his heart when he met his fellow countrymen and old friends on this alien planet. From now on, he was no longer a wandering flower farmer, but had the support of a team. He was also the first special candidate to land on this second home, so it was natural for him to act as a guide for everyone.
The group changed out of their bulky space suits and followed up excitedly and nervously. Standing on the edge of the platform on the top of the mountain, looking at the unfamiliar tall forest, everyone was completely overwhelmed by the magnificent scenery of this second home.
“How beautiful!”
"It feels even more beautiful than the old forest in Gongshan!" Yun Xiaomei stood next to Chen Jue, gazing at the forest and lake with a pair of clear and innocent eyes. The other landing members also exclaimed in admiration.
At this moment, a loud cry came from above everyone's head. The little parrot that was playing happily in the sky just now was now a little tired and slowly glided down from the air.
The little parrot has now grown to a size of nearly six meters, and its wingspan has reached more than ten meters. Its descent is like a small airplane landing.
The strong wind created by the flapping of the two wings was like two super-powerful exhaust fans, blowing everyone's hair into disarray and making their faces change drastically!
“F… shit!”
"What a big bird!" Several male members couldn't help but burst out swearing. They were obviously frightened by the size of the parrot. They all felt like they were facing a great enemy.
"Don't worry, everyone! This is my adopted little guy."
"It's called Little Parrot, and it's a species of parrot in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. It's very well-behaved and obedient and won't hurt anyone." Chen Jue hurriedly comforted the people around him, and at the same time sent a mental wave to the little parrot, causing it to land on the platform on the top of the mountain.
"Before coming here, we have all read the information sent back by Master Chen Jue, and we have also learned a lot of information about the strange beasts. However, no matter how good the information is, it is only on paper. Now seeing it with our own eyes is really... a bit too incredible!" Sun Wu on the side had a complex look in his eyes, with excitement, fear, and a bit of yearning.
He also didn't expect that Chen Jue had only landed in this second home for more than a month and he had already tamed such a huge monster.
"Da da!" The little parrot began to mimic Chen Jue's voice.
Chen Jue heard Sun Wu's speech, took a look at the complex emotions emanating from him, laughed and advised: "Master Sun, you will get used to it after staying here for a long time. The creatures here are all incredibly large. The parrot is of medium size. Some exotic beasts can even be as big as dozens of meters."
"Your name is Little Parrot, right?" Yun Xiaomei came over curiously. Compared with the other slightly fearful candidates, she had been living with wild animals in the mountains and forests for many years.
Moreover, Yun Xiaomei exudes an aura of affinity with nature. When she got close to touch the parrot's feathers, the little guy couldn't help but tilt his head and rub against her affectionately, making a sound as if returning to the embrace of its mother: "Yingying!"
"Brother Chen Jue! Your bird is so cute!"
"It looks like a cockatiel! And it blushes!"
"How big is it?" When Yun Xiaomei heard the parrot's human voice, she excitedly hugged the parrot's furry head and hung her whole body on the parrot. It felt like she was hugging a stuffed toy.
Girls all have a cute feeling and love for this naturally cute species, and they cannot escape the law of true fragrance.
Seeing Yun Xiaomei touching the giant parrot so intimately, the other candidates were no longer afraid and slowly came over to satisfy their desire to touch its feathers.
"The little parrot should be less than one year old!" Chen Jue thought about what Yun Xiaomei said. He felt something was wrong. He scratched his chin and didn't know how to explain the parrot's age.
After all, exactly one month has passed since the little parrot hatched from the egg, so if you round it off, it is indeed less than one year old.
"It's less than a year old and it's already this big?"
“Is this eating and growing happily?”
" It feels like the size of the entire elephant family cannot compare to it! Xiao Hei is almost six years old, and his maximum size is only as big as his paw." Yun Xiaomei was slightly surprised after learning the age of the little parrot. Growing up in the old forest of Gongshan, she had already seen countless wild animals of different appearances.
Especially the black kite that often flies with her is Yun Xiaomei's most familiar bird friend. With this comparison, Yun Xiaomei feels that the birds of prey on Earth are just a group of younger brothers in front of the little parrot!
Even Sun Wu, Luo Qiong and others were shocked when they learned the age of the little parrot: "Master Chen Jue, do those strange beasts grow and develop so fast?"
"Then don't we have to stay in this safe zone for the time being?"
"The little parrot is just a special case. It was stimulated by the life ore, so it will grow faster. There are many kinds of exotic beasts outside the safe zone. Some of them are the size of normal domestic pets , no different from animals on Earth."
"The only thing we need to pay attention to is the special organs evolved by the alien beasts. I have specifically mentioned this in the information I sent back before. Just be careful when you leave the safe zone." Chen Jue opened his mouth and gave a brief explanation.
The safe zone is the general term Chen Jue uses to refer to the forbidden area within a hundred kilometers around this stronghold. Anything outside that invisible light curtain is a dangerous area.
"It seems that this is all thanks to Master Chen Jue's initial exploration."
"These strange beasts can spit fire, discharge electricity, and have attack capabilities such as poison gas and sonic waves. People like us don't have the skills of Master Chen Jue, so we will definitely suffer heavy casualties if we encounter them." Luo Qiong said from the side, and glanced at Chen Jue with gratitude.
The cost of exploring an unfamiliar planet is too high. Even sending a few people to land on the moon, the satellite closest to the earth, will require an astronomical economic bill.
Not to mention the cost of life due to the various environments and exotic beasts on this strange planet. Both the Russian Bear Expedition Team and the Eagle West Joint Team lost manpower in the early stages due to lack of experience.
Just like Magellan's voyage around the world, there were more than 200 people on the ship, but in the end only a dozen came back, and even the captain Magellan himself was killed by the spears of the natives.
Faced with the unknown in the starry sky, humans must maintain the necessary caution and care.
"Boss Chen Jue, you said that this life ore is everywhere here. If the strange beast can grow so big."
"If we humans reproduce here, will we also become giants?" the gentle young man wearing special glasses suddenly asked.
Chen Jue looked at the gentle young man meaningfully, thinking that his question was very thoughtful: "I don't know whether they will become giants, it depends on whether humans can reproduce and create humans in such an environment."
"But if you stay in an environment with a high concentration of true qi for a long time, it will definitely prolong your life and improve your physical fitness."
Everyone was excited to hear Chen Jue, the pioneer of exploration, say this.
But at this moment, Yun Xiaomei, who was leaning on the parrot, shook the parrot and whispered a few words beside its head. The parrot suddenly called out "Mom!" to her, and Chen Jue, who was standing aside, was stunned!
