Volume 1 Origin Chapter 4 Capture the Red Source Grass
"Click!"
The sound of hurried footsteps sounded from the cave in the distance, and then gradually became clear. A figure moved nimbly through the narrow passage, rushing quickly from a distance.
This figure that came at a gallop was none other than Han Lin who was running towards the depths of the cave.
The cave that Han Lin ran into seemed to have been formed for many years. In the narrow cave passage, it was dark and damp. At the top of the cave, from time to time, some water droplets fall down, making a "thump" sound.
"Huhu, what's the matter with those rock rats? Aren't they usually the most afraid of fire? Why are there so many rock rats swarming around the fire today, blocking the fire and refusing to leave?"
Han Lin carefully bypassed those winding rock paths, looked around, and quickly marked the surroundings, the passages in the cave were intricate, and if he was not careful, he could get lost in them, and he would never find the way he came in before. Han Lin didn't want to be trapped in this unknown cave.
"Squeak~~"
Just as Han Lin stopped to leave a mark, from behind him, the shrill cries of the rock rats as they passed by were getting closer and closer!
"What kind of luck is this, so many passages, can still keep up with me and keep chasing? No, you have to hurry, otherwise when the rock rat swarm catches up, it will be a big trouble!"
After carving a simple mark on the corner of the passage in three or two clicks, Han Linyou began to run wildly.
"Hmm, what does this smell like? It smells so good!"
After passing a corner, Han Lin gradually slowed down, closed his eyes, and sniffed in the direction ahead.
After determining the direction in which the aroma was wafting, Han Lin took a short step forward. After turning around at the next intersection, the strange fragrance suddenly became much heavier!
In fact, not long after Han Lin entered this cave, he smelled a wisp of fragrance. It's just that I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but now, the fragrance is getting stronger and stronger.
That fragrance was so refreshing, and the smell made Han Lin feel refreshed, and even the fatigue of running all the way in this passage was suddenly alleviated a lot.
"What is that scent? It has such a strong effect, so wonderful?"
After thinking about it, as if he had thought of something, Han Lin couldn't help but be shocked in his heart. Because the things that can have such ability are generally only available to some precious artifacts, and generally, they are some spiritual objects and spiritual grasses and the like.
"I don't know what it is, but it should probably be a precious herb, or even an elixir!"
Han Lin said secretly.
"Squeak squeak~~"
At this moment, in a short time when Han Lin stopped, the sharp cries accompanied by the overwhelming rock rats suddenly swarmed out behind him, waking up Han Lin who was immersed in joy, Han Lin didn't think about it, ran a few steps forward, and jumped sharply at a narrow rock wall, and quickly landed on the rock wall on both sides with his feet, and the whole person rose into the air.
A moment later, a mighty army of rock rats surged from the side of the passage that Han Lin had walked through earlier.
"Squeak squeak~~" The faint shrill cry at the beginning has now become deafening, and the water in some small puddles on the ground has also begun to vibrate violently.
"Boom!!"
The sound of dense and chaotic footsteps sounded quickly, like the first shrill scream. The swarm of rock rats rushed into it like a tidal wave.
"Those rock rats, too, were attracted by the fresh scent?"
Han Lin couldn't help but think.
"If that's the case, then it's bad! If some great treasure falls into the stomach of those rock rats, then I'm going to have to die of depression! No, I'll have to find a chance to go with him!"
Along the way, the army of rock rats was mighty, and after a long wait, after hanging on the top of the passage for a quarter of an hour, the last rock rat of the rock rat group had finally passed through and disappeared faintly at the end of the passage. Letting go of his hands and feet, Han Lin finally fell down from the rock wall, and his arms, legs and feet were already numb due to the continuous force, if it was a few more minutes, Han Lin did not guarantee whether he would be able to hold on.
Without the pursuit of the rock rat group, Han Lin finally relaxed a little, rested on the spot for a while, and then chased in the direction where the rock rats disappeared.
"Apparently, the rock rat swarm is also there for the fragrance. If I go with them, maybe I'll get a chance to see what a treasure it is!"
Han Lin extinguished the torch in his hand and quietly sneaked forward.
After half a ring, Han Lin stopped suddenly, stuck to the rock wall beside him, and quietly stretched out his head, what caught his eyes was thousands of rock rats, in the middle of the rock rat group, there was a stone platform about half a zhang high, and on the stone platform, there was a red spirit grass growing all over the body!
"That's Chiyuan Grass!"
At the same time as seeing that kind of Crimson Spirit Grass, the information in Han Lin's head almost instantly matched the name of Red Source Grass!
What Han Lin didn't expect was that his luck this time would be so good!
Chiyuan Grass is a mystic-level elixir that belongs to the Origin World. Elixirs have a clear hierarchy in the Origin World.
Generally, herbal medicines can be divided into ordinary herbs, Xuan-level elixirs, Ling-level elixirs and heaven-level elixirs. And the Chiyuan grass belongs to the Xuan rank in the herbal medicine, and it is still the very precious kind of the Xuan rank first-grade spirit grass.
Of course, the classification of medicinal materials is a method of subdivision summarized by countless pharmacists. In fact, most people don't know the specific subdivision of medicinal materials, so there is another simpler way to roughly divide them.
Elixirs and common herbs.
It is very intuitive, the elixir is born in response to the creation of heaven and earth, and the general elixir is often accompanied by strange scenes, like this red source grass, which is as red as fire all over, and there are wisps of source qi around the herb, which can be seen by the naked eye!
And like the dozen or so yellow-leaved gray scale grasses that Han Lin gave to Chen Lao before, although they are in excellent condition, they can only be classified as ordinary herbs.
Compared to this Chiyuan grass not far away, it is simply worthless!
Of course, in addition to the strange herbs of the Xuan Rank, Spirit Rank and Heaven Rank, there are also some more peculiar and cherished Heavenly and Earth Treasures, and their efficacy is no less than that of the higher herbs, or even surpasses them.
For example, it is rumored that there is a strange thing called Ice Source Crystal, which can enable martial artists below the warlock level to rise to a level without cultivating.
Although this Red Source Grass is not as effective as the Ice Source Crystal, it can also help those who are about to break through to break through in one fell swoop.
This is also the reason why Han Lin lamented his good luck.
"That red source grass, you have to find a way to get it!"
Looking at the Chiyuan grass not far away, and observing the movement of the rock rat swarm, Han Lin's eyes burned, and then he swallowed his saliva fiercely!
"Fight!"
......
In the midst of the heavy rock rats, the stone platform stood peacefully. All around, there are endless rock rats.
On the stone platform, the crimson red source grass was standing there quietly, accompanied by a faint fragrance, followed by astonishing fiery fluctuations.
For a moment, the rock rat group didn't dare to come forward and get too close!
"With that Chiyuan Grass, it is estimated that I will be able to break through to a fifth-order cultivator in one fell swoop!"
Han Lin's eyes were blazing as he stared at the Chiyuan grass.
"I have to find a time to get that Chiyuan grass, I missed this elixir, I don't know when I will meet another such opportunity!"
Time passed minute by minute, and just as Han Lin was about to make a move, trying to snatch the Chiyuan grass, some changes suddenly occurred in the rock rat group. The swarm of rock rats began to stir, and the shrill cries began one after another. The swarm of rock rats starts in the middle and automatically separates, making way for a passage.
After the passage was completely separated, a gray-white and huge rock rat crawled out of it, which was more than twice as large as the other rock rats! When this rock rat came out, the rock rats on both sides unconsciously retreated to both sides, crawling on both sides of the passage and shivering. That rock rat should be the rat king of this rock rat community.
The huge Rock Rat King was approaching the Chiyuan Grass step by step, and it seemed that it also wanted to devour the Chiyuan Grass.
"No, we have to do it in advance! If we let it swallow the Chiyuan Grass, it will be in vain!"
However, the Rock Rat King didn't seem to dare to get too close to the Chiyuan Grass, perhaps because the Rock Rat was born with a fear of fire! That Chiyuan Grass was also a fire-attribute spirit grass.
Han Lin silently waited for the opportunity, waiting for the time when the rock rat swarm would relax.
Just when the huge Rock Rat King was constantly trying to move forward, Han Lin's heart moved.
"It's time to get started!"
"Bang!"
A flash of fire cut through the narrow cavern in a brilliant arc and fell straight into the rock rat colony.
"Squeak squeak~~"
The rock rat swarm instantly panicked, and Han Lin threw the torch into the rock rat swarm, immediately dispersing the rock rat swarm out of an open space.
Han Lin clutched the other torch that had already been prepared in his hand, and instantly rushed into the rock rat group.
"Whew!"
Han Lin kept waving the torch in his hand, driving away some of the rock rats that tried to get close to Han Lin.
In the empty cave, the rock rat group was constantly stirring, and Han Lin's figure was constantly shuttling among the rock rat group.
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the Chiyuan grass, Han Lin couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"It's here, it's coming, get it, and I'll be able to break through to a fifth-order cultivator!"
When he was only an arm's length away from the Chiyuan Grass, a gray-white shadow quickly passed by.
"呲呲~~"
Han Lin felt a pain in his calf, and on his calf, a hideous bloody mouth was trickling blood, but fortunately, the wound was not too deep, and it didn't matter for a while.
The gray shadow gradually appeared, and it was actually the huge rock rat king.
For a moment, a man and a rock rat, both stopped, their eyes facing each other.
"Boom!"
A heavy landing sounded, and the two figures rushed towards each other. However, just as the two were about to collide together, Han Lin gritted his teeth, endured the sharp pain in his legs, turned over, and his entire body rose into the air.
As soon as the whole person landed, he rushed forward. A handful grabbed the red source grass on the stone platform.
"呲~~"
As soon as the Chiyuan Grass started its hand, the fiery fluctuations emitted by it immediately burned Han Lin's right hand.
Han Lin couldn't care about it so much after all, and before the rock rat could react, he immediately put the Chiyuan grass in his pocket and rushed towards the exit of the cave.
The moment he rushed out of the cave, several torches prepared in advance at the entrance of the cave were knocked to the ground by Han Lin.
Flames burst out in an instant, holding thousands of rock rats at the entrance of the cave!
In the narrow cave, Han Lin quickly recognized the marks left at the beginning, and desperately rushed towards the exit.
Just after Han Lin rushed out for more than a dozen breaths, the group of rock rats behind him also broke away the fire curtain at the entrance of the cave without fear of death!
Suddenly, behind Han Lin, the mighty swarm of rock rats also chased after Han Lin desperately.
After running for half an hour, a glimmer of light finally appeared at the hole in front of Han Lin, and Han Lin rushed out without thinking about it.
"Whew~"
Han Lin exhaled a big breath.
"Finally escaped!"
Han Lin casually lit the two remaining torches in his hand and threw them at the entrance of the cave.
"This torch should be able to hold back the rock rat swarm a little, right?!"
There was no time to stop, and when his figure flickered, Han Lin's figure quickly disappeared into the dark woods.
