Chapter 249: Fire Soul Flower
"I'm familiar with Chaoyun Ridge, everyone come with me!"
Deputy Commander Jiang Wei waved to a few people behind him, and said in a low voice: "The task is urgent, we have to speed up!"
Behind Jiang Wei, plus Zhou Ming, there were a total of six people, all of whom were dressed in strong suits, all of them were like wolves and tigers.
Once the action is launched, the quality of these veteran soldiers is fully reflected, all of them are agile in action, and their expressions are cold, no longer the appearance of laughing before, like a cold sharp knife.
This made Zhou Ming have to sigh, after all, he was an elite soldier in the regular army, and his performance in all aspects was much better than that of the advance army on the side of the Shanhai Kingdom.
The mission of their trip was actually a temporary emergency operation, not to rush to the front line, but to go to the Chaotic Cloud Ridge in the north of the prairie to assist a few pharmacists in the legion to collect a precious medicinal herb.
Pharmacists, in fact, are a group of people who help the alchemists, who are usually responsible for collecting and planting medicines, and completing all kinds of trivial things before refining medicines for the alchemists. In a sense, it can be regarded as an apprentice of an alchemist, and a person who is very proficient in pharmacology. It's just that if you want to become an alchemist, you must at least be a beast soul master, and the threshold is too high, so the vast majority of pharmacists may not be able to become an alchemist in their lifetime.
"Don't be careless, this mission may not be as easy as it seems. ”
Deputy Commander Jiang Wei is the oldest and has a deep understanding of all aspects, and while leading the way, he explained in a deep voice: "You may not know what the purpose of the Fire Soul Flower is, so you don't know much about the potential dangers. If something happens to us, I'm afraid it will be a disaster! I just hope that those orcs are aware of the current affairs!"
Hearing such words, everyone's heartstrings couldn't help but tense a little.
Da Hei couldn't help but ask, "Deputy Commander, what the hell is that Fire Soul Flower?"
Jiang Wei said: "In the past, Chaotic Cloud Ridge has always been a place firmly occupied by orcs, and it seems to be an inconspicuous place, but the orc clan attaches great importance to it, and the reason is this fire soul flower. This flower, only once in ten years, has the miraculous effect of warming the soul and refining the mind, even if it is just a faint fragrance of flowers, it can make people feel a hundred times more energetic, and the spiritual sense is greatly increased. If you often cultivate with this flower, your speed will be greatly increased. Among the orcs, this flower is one of the most important resources for cultivating the elite of their clan. The well-known Water and Fire Soul Refining Pill in the legion must be no stranger to you, right?"
"Water and Fire Soul Refining Pill?"
At the mention of this Dan, the five people other than Zhou Ming couldn't help but let out exclamations. Within the Iron-Blooded Roaring Legion, this Dan's reputation is too loud, it is one of the most attractive resources of the Legion, and the temptation is not even under the Bear King's Great Yuan Technique, and it takes a full 10 million military merit points to redeem.
Legend has it that this pill can stabilize the soul and has the effect of refining the soul. To put it simply, this is a miracle elixir that can make people smart.
Compared with the other five, Zhou Ming, who is calm on the surface, is actually the most shocked inside. The reason is very simple, because the antidote he is looking for is this Water and Fire Soul Refining Pill. With the help of the power of this Dan water and fire soul refining, you can purify the wild resentful qi that entangles the soul of the second girl in one fell swoop.
"Yes, I'm sure you've already thought of it. The Fire Soul Flower is one of the two most important medicinal materials for refining the Water and Fire Soul Refining Pill. ”
Jiang Wei waved his hand, glanced back at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "If the orcs don't give up and secretly send people to pick them, we will inevitably encounter a vicious battle!"
Knowing the secret, everyone understood that Jiang Wei's worries were not unfounded. Although the orcs have succumbed on their faces, their blood hatred for the Roaring Kingdom has never disappeared. The legion on the steppe? It was just an army that the orcs had sold to the Roaring Kingdom in order to survive. In addition to that legion, there are many more remnants of the orcs, and they are gathering in the southern part of the grassland.
That barren and isolated mountain and bad water is the last place of refuge that the Roaring Kingdom has promised them.
"I'm afraid that if it does, the orcs dare to come, and kill them all!"
Da Hei snorted coldly and said with murderous intent. At this time, Da Hei didn't have half of his straightforward and cute appearance.
"Orcs have always been cunning and cunning, so let's be careful!"
Jiang Wei snorted, and his speed under his feet increased by three points. For the sake of the secrecy of their actions, the group did not use flying war beasts. Fortunately, in terms of the footsteps of this pedestrian, Chaoyunling is not too far.
In just half a day's effort, a group of seven people left the grassland and came to a complex mountainous place in the north.
In this area, although the mountain is not high, it is dense with deep ravines, canyon roads, scattered rocks everywhere, strange stones stand in a forest, and the terrain is quite complicated.
In Zhou Ming's view, such a geographical environment is extremely beneficial for hidden surprise attacks and guerrilla assassinations. If there are really orcs lurking in, it is indeed difficult to be guarded against.
Although this task is hidden and has all kinds of uncertain factors, there are many military merit points rewarded, and each person is 20,000. It's no wonder that the Grand Commander Xie Ao said that this is fat.
Entering the mountains, the speed of the group also slowed down a lot.
"Ahead is Turbulent Cloud Ridge!"
At the exit of a narrow mountain gorge, Jiang Wei finally stopped, pointed ahead, sniffed deeply with his nose, and grinned: "Do you smell the fragrance of the fire soul flower?"
Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and saw the miasma rolling in front of them, surging between the ravines and peaks, and the clouds and mist steaming, like a sea of clouds in a frenzy, covering everything there from both reality and illusion.
Following Jiang Wei's example, Zhou Ming also took a deep breath, and sure enough, he felt a faint fragrance in the air.
Merely......
"It smells of blood!"
Not only Zhou Ming, but everyone's complexion changed suddenly.
Before setting off, everyone already knew that in the place where the Fire Soul Flower grows, there are often strong beasts and fierce birds. This time, there were several extremely powerful heads, which caused considerable trouble to the pharmacists who went to collect medicines, forcing them to ask for help from the legion.
If not, there would be nothing to do with Zhou Ming and them.
However, the smell of blood wafting in the air was obviously not the blood of the beasts and fierce birds, but the smell of the blood of the beast master.
“...... It's not good, could it be that something happened to those pharmacists?"
Jiang Wei's face sank, and he looked at everyone solemnly: "Everyone be vigilant, let's go and find out quickly!"
Whew!
The crowd scattered slightly, and between the spread of their bodies, they swept forward like lightning. It didn't take long for him to disappear into the depths of the billowing mist.
The closer you got, the stronger the smell of blood grew in the air. Following the smell all the way, everyone quickly found the source.
“...... That's?!"
Behind a mountain rock, Zhou Ming's gaze quietly passed through a gap and landed on a clearing at the mouth of the canyon in front of him, his pupils couldn't help but shrink.
The ground there was a mess, cracked rocks tumbling to the ground, and stumps and blood were everywhere.
A bloody battle broke out here not so long ago.
And what caught Zhou Ming's eyes was suddenly a terrifying blood-colored giant wolf, actually gnawing on the corpse of a deceased person there.
The wolf was covered in blood, and its terrifying aura was like black and red flames enveloping its body, filled with an extremely manic evil aura.
It's so familiar!
Zhou Ming's heart shook wildly, because that kind of aura was completely the same as the evil qi in the ancient beast tomb of Tianmu Mountain. Suddenly, it was the evil power inherited from the remnants of the Blood Wolf God.
