Volume II, Chapter 37
"Senior brother, look, what's over there?" A young monk of about eighteen or nineteen years old was pointing to a lilac medicinal herb not far away and asking the senior brother beside him, his face slightly childish.
The monk who was questioned was not very old, he looked to be in his twenties, dressed in a pale blue robe, but he looked much more stable.
Attracted by his brother's words, the monk looked in the direction his brother was pointing, and under the shade of an extremely inconspicuous tree, a plant with a lilac aura appeared in his field of vision.
He didn't distinguish it for a while, but this spirit grass is obviously full of aura, it shouldn't be ordinary, think carefully about the jade slips that I read before leaving, it seems that there is no kind of herb that is purple, it shouldn't be the medicinal material of Zhuji Dan, otherwise he will definitely not admit his mistake, but even so, this spirit grass must be of extraordinary value, since it is naturally encountered, it cannot be let go.
So he said to his junior brother: "I haven't heard of this spirit grass either, but it shouldn't be an ordinary thing, let's pick it off first, and ask the master when we go out." ”
When the young monk saw that his senior brother said this, he planned to pick the spirit grass, but was stopped by the blue-clothed monk: "Clear heart, be careful, don't go over yet."
The young man was a little puzzled and asked his senior brother: "What's the matter, senior brother, why are you stopping me?" ”
The blue-clothed monk's name is Qingfeng, he was a little helpless when he heard this, he and his junior brother were adopted by the master since childhood, his junior brother has excellent qualifications, and he is the most loved by the master, and he has been practicing with the master since he was a child, although they are also casual cultivators, but the master is already a monk in the Yudan period, and he has a lot of status in the cultivation world, and the resources for cultivation have never been lacking.
He is a little better, and he often goes out to practice, but his junior brother is only eighteen years old this year, and he has already cultivated ten levels of qi, but he has never walked alone in the cultivation realm.
There is no understanding of the danger of the cultivation realm, the master is not at ease to let him come by himself in such a dangerous place, with the master's ability, after the trial, he can buy a Zhuji Dan for him for a large amount of money, and the foundation building is almost nine out of ten with the qualifications of the junior disciple.
As a rare cultivation genius, the junior disciple thought that he was no worse than the descendants of any major sect, so he had to come to obtain the Tsukidan by himself.
The master couldn't stand his death, and he also understood that the cultivation realm had to go through the test of life and death in order to survive, and he couldn't take care of him forever, so he agreed to let him come after giving the apprentice a few life-saving treasures.
But after entering, everything must be listened to by the senior brother, although his eldest disciple's qualifications are quite different from those of Qingxin, but his personality is stable, and it should not be a problem for the two to protect themselves together.
As for whether he can obtain the medicinal materials of the Foundation Building Pill, it doesn't matter to him, tens of thousands of spirit stones are an astronomical amount for a Qi Refining Stage Foundation Building Stage cultivator, but for himself, it is nothing.
Seeing his junior brother asking, Qingfeng patiently explained: "But all heavenly and earthly treasures such as spirit grass will generally attract demon beasts to guard them, and when the spirit grass matures, it will be devoured by demon beasts and increase cultivation." This spirit grass aura is so strong, how can there be no demon beasts by its side, let's be careful. ”
Qingxin listened to the words of the senior brother, and also stopped, he was already smart, but he had no experience, at this time, the senior brother's guidance was naturally knowing that he was reckless, so he retreated to the senior brother's side, and said: "Then what should we do now, there don't seem to be any demon beasts around here, isn't it that the guardian demon beast went to find food, and now it happens to be gone?" ”
When Qingfeng heard this, he also carefully observed the surroundings, and indeed did not find any demon beasts, maybe as the junior brother said, the demon beasts are not there for the time being.
But out of caution, he still didn't step forward in person, only to see Qingfeng take out his magic weapon from the storage bag, a heavy earthy yellow giant shield, although Qingfeng looks like Sven, but this magic weapon is strong and, this giant shield weighs 100 catties, offensive and defensive integration, the power is really not small, it is a top high-level magic weapon.
After Qingfeng took out the shield, he protected himself and his junior brother, and said to Qingxin: "Send a fireball technique to attack that tree, control the power, and don't hurt the elixir." ”
Qingxin nodded yes, only to see him pinch the magic trick casually, and a fireball the size of a walnut formed in his hand, and then with a wave of his hand, the fireball was strong in the wind and attacked the big tree in front of him.
Only a soft "bang" was heard, and the fireball exploded on the trunk of the tree, but the power was extremely limited, and the tree shook almost imperceptibly and there was no movement, which also showed that Qingxin's control of spells was indeed extremely skillful.
Because of the fireball technique, the attack power is not strong, and the monk with strong mana can exert a strong lethality with the mana behind him, but if he wants to continue to weaken the already weak attack power, then it is required to control the spiritual power to the point of perfection, and the pure heart is only eighteen years old, and to achieve such a free will can only be described as talent.
After the fireball technique, seeing that there was still no movement under the shade of the tree, Qingfeng was also relieved, and just as he was about to put away his shield, he suddenly felt a trace of danger approaching in his mind, and almost instinctively raised the shield in his hand.
And then I heard
"Bell"
Something hit his shield. The strength was so heavy that Qingfeng, who was known for his strength and strength when he practiced the earth-based exercises, also took seven or eight steps back before holding his shield against the ground and stopped.
Then Qingfeng fixed his eyes, and the leopard-shaped demon beast that had been half a zhang long fell three zhang in front of him.
"Lin Leopard! Be careful! Qingfeng hurriedly shouted.
The leopard in front of him is an extremely dangerous demon beast in the dense forest, this leopard will reach the realm of a second-order demon beast when it becomes an adult, it is known for its speed and explosive attack power, and its intelligence is not weak, for the monks who are looking for treasure in the jungle, the leopard is their nightmare.
It's not that this monster is so difficult to kill, it's that it's good at hiding its tracks, and it likes to sneak attack the most, and it's not too much to say that it's a "jungle assassin".
Although the leopard in front of him was also very dangerous, Qingfeng still put his mind at ease after seeing it clearly, at least this leopard had not yet reached adulthood, and it was only in the late stage of the first order, and he and his junior brother could kill it if they dealt with it carefully.
Although he suffered a loss just now, but firstly, this Lin Leopard is ready to go, and he is in a hurry to resist, and at this time they have the advantage in numbers, and their strength is also above the Lin Leopard, if the matter in front of them has been an adult Lin Leopard, their senior brothers are afraid that they will turn around and flee for their lives, but at this time, the Lin Leopard sneak attack has not succeeded, and the danger is reduced a lot.
The sneak attack of the Lin Leopard, the shout of the breeze, only happened in a breath, at this time Qingxin also reacted after a short buffer, only to see that he took advantage of the Lin Leopard being blocked by the senior brother to the ground, the old power was exhausted, and the new power was not born, and instantly a fiery red spear appeared in his hand, and then gathered all his strength and stabbed towards the abdomen of the Lin Leopard.
The leopard's sneak attack failed, it just landed, and before it could make any more moves, Qingxin's attack had already arrived in front of him, which was completely unexpected by it, and he didn't expect Qingxin's reaction to be so fast.
In the instinct of fighting, the leopard rolled to the side on the spot, but it was still a little late, although he avoided the vital point in the abdomen, but the left hind leg was still pierced by the spear of Qingxin, half of the spear body was inserted into the ground, and the other half was left outside, the leopard roared under the severe pain, but could not break free for a while.
Qingfeng was also a little surprised to see that the junior brother reacted so quickly, obviously the junior brother's talent is not just talking, it is indeed genuine, which is also the reason why the master is relieved that he came in.
Qingfeng no longer hesitated, his shield was a combination of offense and defense, at this time the leopard retreated and was penetrated and nailed to the ground, where would he be polite, quickly ran to the front of the leopard, raised the shield and slapped the leopard's head fiercely, in the leopard's frightened and unwilling roar, Qingfeng quickly ended its life.
Qingxin also came over at this time, and said gratefully to Senior Brother: "Senior Brother, it was really dangerous just now, if it weren't for your reminder, I'm afraid I would have been attacked by this leopard." ”
There was still an expression on his face for the rest of his life, and it was obvious that the scene just now made him remember it deeply.
Qingfeng was in a good mood at this time, killing a Lin Leopard so easily gave them a lot of gains, the leopard skin and demon pill of the Lin Leopard were worth a lot of spirit stones, and the purple spirit grass was also extraordinary.
So he smiled at his junior brother and said: "Qingxin, you did a good job just now, the reaction is good, now we hurry up and deal with this Lin Leopard, leave here immediately, such a big movement just now may attract other demon beasts or other cultivators, we will be in danger, you go and pick off that spirit grass, and I will clean up the Lin Leopard." ”
So the two brothers quickly dealt with these things, leaving no traces, and hurriedly left.
As soon as they walked on their front feet, in less than a quarter of an hour, four monks arrived at the place where they were fighting with the leopard, and after checking around, and finding nothing, one of the middle-aged strong men spoke: "There was a fight here just now, but the traces have been cleaned up, and I can't see the clue, I don't know if the Dao is a monk or a demon beast." ”
"It should be a demon beast, it's only been a few days, everyone still has something to gain, if it weren't for the grudges, they are still relatively restrained now, and there shouldn't be a fight." A tactful voice spoke, speaking from a female cultivator in her thirties, with a peach blossom face and a hot body, and the strong man nodded yes when he heard this, praising the female cultivator for being smart.
With such obvious flattery, a thin monk next to him couldn't stand it anymore, and said to the strong man: "Old Five, okay, you can judge it this way, the flower fairy doesn't need you to be so flattering." "Obviously, this monk is also the suitor of the nun, so he took this opportunity to suppress the strong man.
The strong man named Lao Wu was furious when he heard this: "Zhang Xiu, is it itchy skin, your fifth master will loosen you up!" ”
"It's just you, it's just a brute strength, I don't know how many pounds and taels I have, and I want to find and beat me anytime!" Zhang Xiu did not show weakness.
Seeing that the two of them had a tendency to break out, the female cultivator who spoke first did not speak, but just looked at the two of them, and under her gaze, the two of them were naturally not to be outdone and were ready to do it at any time.
At this moment, the old man who had not spoken loudly shouted: "Enough, if you want to die here, let it go, and don't look at what kind of place this is, since there are no clues here, let's go!" ”
Then he glanced at the three of them, and then said, "I don't care what you think in your hearts, but I have remembered it all, if anyone delays me to obtain Tsukidan this time, I will pull him to cushion my back." ”
The old man ignored the three of them after speaking, and walked forward first.
The two who were arguing just now immediately fell silent and quietly followed, and the female cultivator, who was called the flower fairy, also had a trace of jealousy in her eyes and followed the three of them.
