When the words fell, the white-clothed young man who was urging Zhou Bo just now looked proud, and slowly walked onto the field amid the applause of the audience.
Not long after, Zhao Fan slowly walked off the field, at this moment, Zhou Bo found that the corners of Zheng Dongqing's mouth suddenly flashed a smile, and immediately, under the enthusiastic expectation of everyone, he slowly opened his mouth and said: "The one who won the championship of this year's pharmacist competition is ...... Zheng Weiyue. ”
As soon as these words came out, all men and women in the audience applauded warmly, and Zhou Bo was also busy taking a few steps forward, wanting to see who this person who completely compared himself to the champion would be!
As soon as his thoughts came here, a girl in a red dress suddenly appeared in his sight slowly, in her gestures, revealing a beautiful demeanor of everyone, lotus steps moved lightly, slowly walked in front of Zheng Dongqing, and immediately smiled at him, that appearance is really delicate and beautiful.
Seeing this, Zheng Dongqing smiled, and then shouted to the audience: "Zheng Weiyue has won a total of one third-level herb and two second-grade herbs, and she is the champion of this year's pharmacist competition." ”
This Zheng Weiyue's popularity should be very good, after the city lord announced, the people in the audience began to cheer like crazy, and at this moment, Zhou Bo lowered his head, and in this hustle and bustle, he slowly walked towards the south of the city. It's just that his lonely figure is out of place with the hustle and bustle behind him.
Zhou Bo, fifteen years old, an orphan, lived alone since he was a child, although the life without a father and mother is more difficult, but he has created an independent character very early.
Every day when there was nothing to do, he would run to play in the Dragon Pattern Forest, which was extremely dangerous, and this was something that everyone knew. But at the same time, there are many precious herbs growing in the Dragon Pattern Forest, although the places where they grow are very hidden, there are also some low-grade herbs that are very easy to pick. And Zhou Bo relied on picking some low-grade herbs and coming back to sell them to the pharmacy in exchange for some money to maintain his solitary life.
Low-level herbs are easy to pick, but slightly higher-level herbs are all psychic, and they will pick some cliffs and beast nests to grow.
If you see a high-grade herb, if you don't have a certain strength, it's best to leave quickly, because there may be a high-level fierce beast next to you, ready to pounce on you at any time.
Of course, these are all summed up by Zhou Bo, after all, he eats this bowl of rice, and he has been picking herbs to make a living since he was a child, so he naturally understands the hardships. When you see herbs, you pick them desperately, and when you see fierce beasts, you run desperately, and more than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye.
As for Zhou Bo going to participate in the Pharmacist Competition, it was because he wanted to prove his strength, but the result was not very good, and he only picked three dried first-class herbs and was eliminated directly.
Rao didn't have any friends in Dragon Pattern City, and he felt extremely embarrassed when he was laughed at on stage.
Wandering through the streets of Dragon Pattern City, Zhou Bo slowly walked back to his home in the south of the city, pushed open half of the wooden door, and the first thing that caught his eye was a chaotic lying house, and what he smelled was a strong smell of herbs.
With a wry smile, Zhou Bo slowly walked into the house, recently because of the preparation for this pharmacist competition, he basically never went home, and soaked in the dragon pattern forest every day to pick herbs, because each herb has different attributes, so the growth environment is also very different, what Zhou Bo has to do is to memorize these by heart, so that he can quickly find all kinds of herbs during the competition.
Shaking his head and sighing deeply, Zhou Bo decided not to think about these things anymore, picked up the broom in the corner, and began to clean the room carefully.
As an orphan, his childhood can be said to be much better than others, although he was abandoned in the dragon forest at birth, it should have been the fate of being eaten by wild beasts, but at this time, he was fortunate to be adopted by an old medicine man, who taught him to read and understand medicinal herbs.
Although his grandfather unfortunately passed away in the end, in this still fulfilling childhood, Zhou Bo felt the warmth given by others, and after his grandfather died, he worked hard to survive.
Seeing the warm eyes given by others, he will feel extra warm, and seeing those discriminatory eyes, Zhou Bo will quickly hide his feelings, and the lonely life has made him learn a lot of things, and understand that loneliness is a feeling, a deep feeling in the heart.
After cleaning for two hours, the house was in chaos, but it had been cleaned up by Zhou Bo, and he was lying comfortably on the bed, Zhou Bo just wanted to sleep now, leave all the unpleasantness behind, and wake up tomorrow, but he still had to continue to go to the dragon forest to pick herbs, after all, it was all for survival.
In his drowsy sleep, Zhou Bo suddenly heard the sound of Si Xi Suo in his ears, but because he was still in a dream, he didn't realize that something was wrong, and when he was in a daze, he suddenly heard his grandfather's old and kind voice.
"Zhou Bo, go to the Dragon Pattern Forest......"
Hearing the sound, Zhou Bo's whole body was shocked, and he hurriedly woke up from his sleep, and after returning to his senses in amazement, he found that it was still late at night outside, and his whole body was soaked with sweat.
Zhou Bo felt that he had a nightmare just now, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't think of any specific picture, and what was hovering in his mind was only the sentence just now, which was so weird that he was really puzzled.
"Just now...... Is it a dream?" Zhou Bo muttered, and at the same time, he subconsciously sat up, staring at the dark night sky outside, and whispered: "Dragon Pattern Forest......"
I feel that something strange happened to me, and the dream just now is the best explanation, he has dreamed of grandpa before, but they are all scenes of living and playing together, and like this time grandpa appeared so weirdly in his dream, and also said that he let himself go to the dragon pattern forest, this is really the first time.
Sitting on the bed again and thinking about it, Zhou Bo felt more and more that something was wrong, since he had such a strange dream, there should be some mystery in it. Immediately, he did not hesitate any longer, immediately got out of bed, walked out quickly with the basket on his back, and then hurried towards the city gate.
At this time, it was about two or three o'clock in the morning, the streets were empty, there were no pedestrians at all, Zhou Bo's figure alone was even more lonely, in fact, he had also gone out to collect medicine at this time, but this time the mood was a little different, maybe it was related to the previous dream.
After walking to the south city gate, the two guards snuggled on the ground and fell asleep, Zhou Bo tiptoed past them, and when he got out of the city gate, he slipped into the dragon pattern forest in front of him.
This South City Gate is actually the most heavily guarded South City Gate, after all, it is directly connected to the Dragon Pattern Forest, so it is dangerous to think about it, but because it is early in the morning, who would have guessed that at this time there will be pharmacists who will not die to go out to collect medicine, the Dragon Pattern Forest is full of fierce beasts, if you are not careful, you will die directly!
But curiosity kills people, Zhou Bo is driven by curiosity, without thinking much about entering this dangerous forest, listening to the roar of beasts and insects that resounded in his ears from time to time, as well as the sound of the Suosuo, Zhou Bo was on high alert, for fear that a fierce beast would accidentally drill out of the dense forest and swallow himself directly.
After walking like this for nearly twenty minutes, Zhou Bo still didn't find anything, wondering in his heart if he really thought about it too much? Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth suddenly overflowed with a wry smile, he would actually run to this dragon pattern forest in the middle of the night for a dream, it was really confusing.
After making up his mind, Zhou Bo decided to return the same way immediately, and at this time, just as he turned around, suddenly a red light in the distance caught his attention.
Not only was there that red light, but in the air, there was a faint smell of extremely fiery breath, almost evaporating all the moisture in the air, which made Zhou Bo's curiosity hooked again, and he took a deep breath, and then walked cautiously forward.
"Is it on fire?" Zhou Bo was curious, and his feet sped up.
The woods around here are sparse relative to the front, and the further you go, the brighter and more dazzling the red light becomes, and the heat that fills the air increases with the pace, and the waves hit you even more.
It was the first time Zhou Bo had encountered this situation, and the curiosity in his heart had already turned over the river and the sea, if it weren't for the temperature getting higher and higher, he couldn't wait to fly over directly to find out what was going on.
When he got closer, Zhou Bo pushed aside the withered yellow bushes in front of him, and did not see a trace of flames, where he looked, there were three clusters of red light, which were dazzlingly shining on the ground at this moment, and the fiery heat that diffused from them actually baked the ground of a hundred meters nearby, leaving only the dry yellow ground, which shows the high temperature of this light.
It was the first time Zhou Bo had seen such a strange scene, and he unconsciously walked in a few points, and at this moment, a low roar from the depths in front woke him up. Startled, Zhou Bo hurriedly took a few steps back, hid on the trunk of a tree, and looked at the dark front with great seriousness and concentration.
After waiting for a while, in the calm darkness, a black claw suddenly stretched out, Zhou Bo hurriedly stared at it, only to find that it was a beast claw, which had not yet reacted, and then saw a white-headed and black-body five-meter fierce beast slowly walking out of it, the pair of red fierce eyes seemed to carry a meter of fishy killing intent, and after scanning the whole field, he took a heavy step and walked towards the three red lights in the center of the field.
With the pace of this trembling beast, Zhou Bo's eyes once again turned to the three red lights, and he stared carefully, Zhou Bo was surprised to find that where was the red light, it was clearly three herbs!
Beneath the red light, there were three fruits the size of a baby's fist, which were not only scorching, but also emitted a white mist from them, like water vapor, and if you listened closely, you could hear a hissing sound from them, which was extremely strange.
Carefully searching all the memories in his mind, Zhou Bo was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that the name of this herb was called Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit, which was a fourth-level fire attribute herb, and it was a herb necessary to ward off the cold and cultivate the flame. And this herb is extremely rare, and it is usually difficult to find it in the Dragon Pattern Forest, after all, there are too many pharmacists here, and if there are any, they would have been picked a long time ago, and it is really incredible to be able to encounter them here this time.
Although it was extremely difficult to encounter such a high-grade herb, it was a bit of a pie in the sky, but Zhou Bo still held back the excitement in his heart, he naturally knew that the higher the grade herb, the stronger the strength of the guardian beast.
Looking at the black and white five-meter fierce beast in front of him, he didn't have to think about it, it must be a fierce beast above the third level, even if it was a cultivator with good strength, he might not be able to take advantage of it, if he rushed forward, let alone die, it was estimated that there would not even be a whole corpse.
Thinking of this, Zhou Bo's fiery mood was like pouring a basin of cold water, directly from head to foot, looking at the fierce beast in front of him was already lying next to Zhu Yan's spirit fruit, Zhou Bo knew that if he wanted to pick these three herbs today, it must not be an easy thing.
But if you just leave like this, you don't have to think about it and feel too much of a loss, not to mention that it is not easy to run out in the middle of the night, let's just say that the price of a Zhu Yan spirit fruit is enough for Zhou Bo to pick herbs for half a year before, which has to be said to be a big fortune for Zhou Bo, who survives by picking medicines, if he lets go, he must not be able to convince himself.
In this case, Zhou Bo began to look left and right, and at the same time quickly thought about how to pick these three precious herbs in his heart, but after searching, he found that this vicinity was really barren and tight, except for some dry grass where he was standing now, the others were dry yellow earth, and there was not even a hiding place, so it became difficult to even get close.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Bo knew that he must not fight hard, if he outwitted, now he can only wait, thinking about it, he raised his head and saw the dense branches and leaves directly above, it was the cat's hands and feet, climbing towards the top of the tree with great care, he could be regarded as having lived in this forest for more than ten years, so the speed was extremely fast, like a monkey in the night, and disappeared in place in the blink of an eye.
Hiding in the tree, Zhou Bo could basically get a bird's-eye view of the whole scene, and now all he had to do was wait for the black and white beast to leave, and then quickly pick the three herbs, if everything went well, he could pick them without knowing it.
Just as Zhou Bo was making wishful thinking, the fierce beast under him was sniffing the Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit with its nose, and suddenly, its head was violently lowered, its eyes were closed, and it actually fell asleep directly next to the herbs.
Thinking of this, Zhou Bo took a deep breath, it seems that this time he came to this dragon pattern forest along the dream, although he was lucky to find these three fourth-level herb Zhu Yan spirit fruits, but if he wanted to put them in his pocket, it really took a lot of energy!
Since he decided to fight a protracted battle, Zhou Bo didn't think much about it, sat in a comfortable position, and began to look intently below, and this sitting, in a blink of an eye, it was daylight.
Twelve hours have passed, and the fierce beast still hasn't woken up, which can make Zhou Bo anxious to death, it's not that he is impatient, but as soon as the day comes, there may be other pharmacists who will discover these herbs, if that's the case, Zhou Bo's desire to swallow these Zhu Yan spirit fruits alone will be in vain.
"Sleep to death and get ......" Zhou Bo was dissatisfied in his heart, so he muttered in a low voice. In fact, he didn't know that this fierce beast was called the Transformation Beast, and it was a third-level fierce beast, and the reason why it could sleep like this was actually absorbing the spiritual power emitted by Zhu Yan's spirit fruit, which was very helpful for its cultivation.
