Because he didn't search left and right, Xiao Yong traveled relatively fast, and in less than two pillars of incense, he had already reached the middle of the canyon flat.

From left to right, the canyon was no smaller than the one at the beginning, eight or nine miles wide, and the trees were five or six feet wide. The fallen leaves are piled up with a foot thick, and they are soft when stepped on, which is a good place to produce the main medicine of Juyuan Dan - soil ginseng, and the two flavors of Damao root and goblin are also very suitable for growing here.

Less than a mile forward, I picked some medicinal herbs for healing pills, blood coagulation pills, and elderberry pills. Suddenly, I was a little excited to find a cluster of ginseng seedlings in the bushes in the distance in front of me, and I had never seen such a large cluster.

While untying the back basket, he took out a small medicine hoe and rushed forward.

Suddenly, Xiao Yong stopped, cold sweat breaking out. Two feet in front of him, there was a green snake nearly two feet thick, which was wrapping around the branch next to the soil ginseng, and its head was less than three feet away from the soil ginseng seedling, staring in the direction of Xiao Yonglai.

Xiao Yong quickly reduced the weight of the refining tool to eighty catties, quietly retreated, retreated three feet, and sat down under a tree. If he was the only one, he still wanted to destroy this snake, but now it was Senior Brother Cai and the other four people who came, and they couldn't show their hole cards, so they retreated. If they can take it, let them take it.

If you can be a fisherman, you can be a fisherman, if you can't do it, you can find another one.

In less than half a pillar of incense, Senior Brother Cai and the four of them stepped forward, saw Xiao Yong sitting under the tree, and asked with a smile, "Senior Brother Xiao, why are you here alone?"

"I went separate from my brothers. ”

Senior Brother Cai, "How's the harvest?"

"I haven't found a Juyuan Dan medicinal herb yet, Senior Brother Cai, how are you getting it?"

Senior Brother Cai, "We haven't found it either, why did you rest?"

"I'm tired. Rest for a while before leaving. As he spoke, he took out the wooden cylinder from the back basket, opened the lid and took a sip of water.

Senior Brother Zhong shouted, "There is a large cluster of ginseng seedlings there, there should be a ginseng that is more than five years old!"

Senior Brother Cai smiled, "Senior Brother Xiao, this is your bad luck. There is soil ginseng less than four zhang away, but you are resting here, it seems that you are still too small, hehe. ”

"Senior Brother Cai is right, this is your luck. "The four of them were all disciples of Elder Gou Changyi, and they kept provoking the relationship between the senior brother and the master on the road, so they were reluctant to remind them about the snake.

The four of them walked forward excitedly, discussing how to distribute it, Senior Brother Zhong found it first, if there was only one, he would take it, if there were more than one, then the others would divide it, and then they would encounter it in the future.

Perhaps carried away by the surprise, as old herb pickers, none of them noticed that the green snake on the branch was looking at them with its head raised high.

After thinking about it for a long time, Xiao Yong still couldn't bear it, after all, he was still a fellow senior brother, and he couldn't just let them die in the belly of the snake; he stood up and turned around and shouted, "There is a snake! Four senior brothers, there is a snake on the branch!"

The four of them were less than a zhang away from the soil ginseng, the back basket was in their hands, and the medicine hoe was in their hands, when they heard Xiao Yong's shout, they looked up and saw that the green snake was sliding forward, and the snake's head had stretched out of the branch for nearly five feet.

The four of them screamed, turned around and ran, and Senior Brother Cai and Senior Brother Zhong didn't bother to mention the baskets. The green snake fell to the ground with a "poof", and then swam quickly towards the four of them with its head held high.

Senior Brother Cai shouted, "Senior Brother Liu, there is a snake!

Liu Jihua shouted from afar, "Don't worry! We'll come!" The six people also rushed towards this side quickly.

The four of them ran in the direction of Liu Jihua together, constantly circling through the trees, trying to shake off the distance between them and the snake.

Seeing the snake chasing them for more than a mile, Xiao Yong quickly rushed out, carrying a back basket and a medicine hoe, and rushed to the soil ginseng seedlings.

With only eighty pounds of weight, Xiao Yong felt like he was flying, his whole body was light and fluttering, and he was more than five feet away in the blink of an eye. Without a pause, he quickly began to act with a flying medicine hoe.

Peel off the surrounding shrubs and carefully follow the roots to remove the rotten leaves and soil, digging deeper and deeper.

Behind, the sounds of fighting and screaming were heard, occasionally accompanied by one or two screams, and slowly, the sound faded away, and they should have retreated to the mouth of the canyon, or up the hill.

The pit got bigger and deeper, and Xiao Yong became more and more excited the more he dug it, and finally jumped out of the pit with the complete soil ginseng, full of joy, "Good guy, this soil ginseng is at least fifty years old, the ginseng body is nearly one foot long, and the roots are nearly five feet." If it is used to refine Juyuan Dan, it can be refined at least ten furnaces, but it is really a pity, and you should look for it again. ”

Put the soil ginseng into the storage ring, simply backfill the ginseng pit, and continue to walk forward.

Just when Xiao Yong left the place where he dug ginseng for less than a stick of incense, the scarred green snake returned to the same place, saw the soil ginseng disappear, swept its tail wildly, uprooted the surrounding bushes, and Senior Brother Cai and their two back baskets completely fell apart.

The further you went, the more medicinal herbs there were, and the beasts began to multiply.

When digging the goblins, two wild boars of four or five hundred catties rushed forward one after the other, Xiao Yong didn't want to kill them, so he picked up the medicine hoe as a big knife, and smashed the back of the hoe on the top of the head in front of him.

The wild boar screamed, and one staggered, but the trend of rushing did not change, and Xiao Yong could only quickly flash to the side.

"Damn, the power of this "One Knife Slash" is not enough, it can't defeat it, there are no other moves, it's easy to be passive without a blow. But this refining tool is really useful, and it is five or six feet away in such a jump. Xiao Yong, who jumped to the side, watched the wild boar rush in the established direction, and was also thinking about the gains and losses of the hoe just now.

After jumping sideways away from the boar's onslaught, the two boars immediately stopped, looked at Xiao Yong in unison, and then rushed towards him at the same time.

Xiao Yong sighed, the medicine hoe is not good, and he still needs to use a big knife. He put down the medicine hoe and took out the big knife, but he was still not going to kill them, just thinking about defeating the two pigs.

The second boar that rushed was slashed with the back of the knife, or "a slash", the boar howled and ran away with a hum, and the first boar ran away with a look.

"It seems that the knife is much better than the medicine hoe, this warrior is not at the same level at all in the early stage and has no open pulse, and the wild boar that I saw a hundred catties of wild boars in the past can only be avoided from a distance, and now such a big wild boar can also run away. Sure enough, the strong are respected!"

Seeing the wild boar running away, Xiao Yong muttered, and then began to dig the goblin.

When digging the big Mao root, an earth dragon burst out of the ground, Xiao Yong waved it with a hoe, and the head of the earth dragon was hit to one side, followed by two consecutive punches, hitting its body, making a dull sound, and the earth dragon turned forward, and slipped away without looking back.

All the way, all the way, all the way to dig. After walking up the slopes of the canyon, the sky began to darken.

Looking around, he chose a big tree to climb on, tidied up a branch in the middle of the canopy, sat on it, took out the braised beef and dry cakes prepared yesterday, ate it slowly, and began to reminisce about the battle process of today.

Today I fought with thirteen beasts, and I gained a lot. This was the first time to fight after practicing the exercises, and compared with the day of the attack, the strength was much greater, and the grasp of strength was also much stronger; this was due to the great increase in the Yuan Force, and also the reason that after a period of practice of "One Knife Slash", the degree of steady and accurate grasp was greatly improved.

"It seems that the alchemy department also needs to cultivate martial arts, otherwise there are many good medicinal materials that cannot be picked; although you can spend a certain price to ask a martial artist to escort you, it is still better to protect yourself. Senior Brother Cai, if they were to open the pulse realm, they wouldn't be so embarrassed today, I don't know how they are now. ”

"Today, I fought different types of beasts such as wild boars, earth dragons, wind pigs, and tigers, and I have a general impression of physical strength, speed, and flexibility, and in this range, there should be no beasts that are my opponents. It seems that if you want to become a strong man, martial arts cultivation is a must. ”

Today, the beasts are hunted, and the harvest in picking medicinal materials is also very large, and the earth ginseng and goblins have found a hundred years of age, except for two kinds of medicinal materials have not been found, the rest of the species have been harvested no less than 20 copies; more than half of the medicinal materials for more than five years have been collected, so that after collecting three copies, the short ones are no longer picked.

At the concentration of the large army, the three elders counted the number and found that nineteen people were missing, including Xiao Yong, Liu Jihua, Senior Brother Cai and other ten people.

"Leqi, isn't Xiao Yong with you?"

"Third Elder Qiqi, after Senior Brother Xiao and we walked for thirty miles, because we didn't have anything to gain, we all acted separately. ”

"You are all in your twenties, and he is still a twelve-year-old child, and you, as a senior brother, don't know how to take care of it. The three elders looked around at everyone and were a little angry.

The elder brother lowered his head, and his eyes showed impatience and resentment, and did not reply again;

The Third Elder glanced around fiercely and said, "Elder Zou and Elder Jin, you look at it, I'll go look for it, and you must remember that the fire should be burned bigger." So saying, he ran away from the mountain.

In the tent outside the valley, Senior Brother Cai and Senior Brother Zhu were lying under the covers, their faces pale, and their mouths made painful sounds from time to time; Senior Brother Liao and Senior Brother Gui, who were cultivating martial arts, were lying in the two bunks next to them, staring blankly at the top of the tent; and Liu Jihua and Senior Brother Zhong were also sitting next to them with a gloomy face.

Senior Brother Zhong said with a bitter face, "It seems that tomorrow we have to follow the large army, it is too dangerous to act alone." ”

Liu Jihua, "Is Xiao Yong's luck so good? It's just a little bit, but he is resting there, but you have met him." ”

Senior Brother Zhu, "Who said it wasn't? Just a few feet away, he avoided it to death, but he made us look like this." ”

Senior Brother Cai, "He probably won't be much better, didn't the green snake go back, can he escape?"

Liu Jihua, "Did he do it on purpose? Let you go and lure the snake away, so that he can dig up the soil ginseng." ”

"Probably not, he reminded us." If he hadn't reminded us, we might have died. ”

Liu Jihua smiled, "That's not necessarily. If you don't go over, the green snake won't necessarily attack, and it won't leave there, and he won't be able to pick soil ginseng. ”

"Probably not, then why did he remind us?"

Liu Jihua, "If the green snake eats one of you, he won't chase it anymore, and if the snake doesn't move, he won't be able to dig up soil ginseng." ”

Senior Brother Zhong, "Let's take a good rest, if you can move, you will continue to enter the mountain tomorrow, and if you can't move, you can rest here and go back together the day after tomorrow." ”

Senior Brother Cai suddenly screamed, "I hate it!"

Silence fell in the tent.
