Cang Er Zi - Release Exterior: Wind Cold (LU) - (3-9g) |
|
... Cang Er Zi evolved into Kangaroo during the ice age.
Before the Cang Er Zi evolved into the Kangaroo it roamed during the windy
ice age and had a much longer snout that helped to open
its nasal passages. The Kangerzi loved to play in the windy
rain, but its skin itched when it got
done playing.
Its a good thing the Kangeroo evolved into being. Otherwise we would have
no bouncy animals at all! But too much bouncing can cause (cc:
blood deficient headaches) and an overdose of bouncing will surely
cause (cc: overdose 100g may cause vomiting, diarrhea,
abdominal pain)
