The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 62 Berry Seeds
It was just another ordinary night.

Wang Wu came out of his hidden dormant state. He first went to the stream to drink a lot of water, earning 50 points of satiety and restoring a little health. Then he washed himself carefully, but he could no longer provide warmth.

Speaking of which, he hasn't eaten for a long time since the devil vine passed through. He had been dormant at the foot of the North Mountain for eight days, and his growth rate had decreased a lot. Now he only drinks water to survive. Although his growth rate does not decrease, it is impossible to increase it.

He is now a malnourished little bear.

But he didn't care much about it. He felt he could hold on for another month or two.

At this moment, Wang Wu went straight to the low hill where the rat hole was located. After roughly determining the direction, he started digging in a corner under the low hill. Since there was an entrance to the rat hole above the low hill, he would definitely be able to dig it below. The only difference was how long he would need to dig.

Wang Wu's claws are still quite sharp and hard, which seems to be related to his growth stage and defense value.

He had tried it before. Now he used his claws to hit the rocks with all his strength. It was just a little painful, but there was no chance of bone fracture or claw breakage.

If you scratch hard, you can leave five scratches about one centimeter deep on the hard rock, which looks pretty realistic.

With such sharpness, the power would be even greater if it were used to grab a tree trunk.

Therefore, although it is not very suitable for this scene when used for digging soil, it still gives people a feeling of killing a chicken with a butcher knife.

Swish, swish, swish, large pieces of soil fell down, and in just a moment Wang Wu dug out a hole with a diameter of 30 centimeters, which was enough for him to enter normally.

Then he pushed the dug soil away with his two front paws and scattered it around.

We have to thank the devil vine for turning over all the soil nearby, so even the newly dug soil doesn't look out of place at all.

Next, Wang Wu continued to dig into the low mountain, but he encountered a rock layer after digging less than two meters.

So he tried to dig downwards, but as he was digging, the soil under his feet suddenly collapsed, burying him completely in the soft soil two or three meters deep, but there was a hole underneath.

Wang Wu was not panicked by this situation. He first determined the up and down directions based on his own position. Then he tamped the surrounding soil by slowly shaking it, compressing the space in the soil, and soon found the exit above.

Then, he searched the surroundings carefully, looking for the sunken hole.

As expected, he found a rather large hole on one side, at least one meter in diameter, but this was definitely not a rat hole, but was caused by the roots of the devil vine being pulled out.

He was very familiar with this. When the devil vine was searching for plant roots underground, it was really like a headless loach, drilling around everywhere.

In particular, more tiny roots will continue to grow, and wherever they pass, it will be like a catastrophe.

But when they leave, these roots will not cause damage, but gather together and pull out in an orderly manner, thus forming such a huge hole.

Next, Wang Wu entered the cave which was as wide as a sewer. He planned to explore fifty meters at each end. After all, this was underground and it was easy to get lost.

He first walked slowly towards the low mountain, but not long after he started walking, his feet loosened and the ground collapsed again, revealing there was a hole crossing below.

After struggling for a long time, he finally climbed up and continued to move forward. However, after walking less than ten meters, he found that the way forward was blocked and a large amount of soil had collapsed.

Originally, Wang Wu planned to take a detour, but he smelled a faint, somewhat familiar smell in the collapsed soil.

“Rat shit?”

He blinked, then immediately moved forward and sniffed it carefully. He even couldn't resist the urge to taste it, because he really wanted to dig out the rat hole.

But in the end, he held back. This pile of collapsed soil really provided him with a lot of information. "Some of the soil is quite dry, and it doesn't look like it has been ravaged by the devil vine. There is a little rat feces mixed in it, which means that this rat hole has also been devastated by the devil vine. At least half of the rat hole has been destroyed."

Wang Wu analyzed in his mind and increased the speed of excavation, pushing the collapsed soil backwards continuously. Unexpectedly, more soil still collapsed from above.

In the newly collapsed soil, he found more rat droppings, and—

"what is this?"

Wang Wu carefully held a particle with his claws that looked like mouse droppings, but was slightly smaller, rounder and harder overall.

The smell here is a little familiar.

This is not rat poop, it's more like the seeds of some plant.

Wang Wu's heart was beating rapidly.

Finally he couldn't help it and stuck out his tongue to lick it, but his nose was still not as sensitive as his tongue.

"Oh my goodness, these are berry seeds!"

At this moment, Wang Wu felt like he had won a million-dollar prize. His whole body and mind were cheering and jumping. He really didn't expect that there was such a surprise waiting for him.

As for these seeds, it is most likely impossible that they were excreted from the mouse's stomach because they had long been digested into mouse feces.

Considering the behavior of the gray rat tribe in occupying the berry plains, Wang Wu was almost certain that the berry seeds were stored by the gray rat tribe, and their tribe had already entered the agricultural civilization.

Next, Wang Wu did not dare to be careless. He searched the soil madly and carefully. He didn't care even if he accidentally tasted two rat droppings.

In the end, he miraculously found nine berry seeds.

At this time, the collapsed soil above was basically gone, and a hole facing upwards appeared. There was a stronger smell of gray rat here, but there was no living gray rat.

Wang Wu groped carefully with his claws until he touched the rock layer.

They also found a rat hole dug out from the cracks in the rocks, which was undoubtedly the one leading directly to the top of the low mountain.

In addition, he also found more than a dozen spaces with obvious excavations around this rock layer. They were very dry and large, but there was little smell of rats.

"If I'm right, this should be the place where the gray rats store food. However, there are no signs of being attacked by the devil vines. So where did the gray rats go?"

Wang Wu was very confused. Could it be that they migrated to other places?

They took their food and seeds with them before leaving, and the nine berry seeds he got were just the ones left behind?
Unable to find any other gains, Wang Wu stopped worrying about it and returned along the same route with difficulty. When he returned to the ground, he was shocked to find that the rat hole containing the seeds and food was at least 20 meters underground.

After a short rest, Wang Wu looked for a moist, flat location nearby that was not easily washed away by mountain torrents, and carefully planted nine berry seeds. This was his hope.

Afterwards, he hurried back to the rat hole at the foot of the hill, piled up a large pile of soil at the entrance of the hole, and sealed it carefully.

He couldn't use this rat hole for the time being, but when winter came, it would be a perfect hiding place.
