The sea of white spirit flowers, under the illumination of the moonlight, emits a faint blue fluorescence, like a blue stream surrounding the entire gray and white forest.

After crossing this sea of flowers, there is the outer area of the gray forest. From this area, the Grey Forest will not be safe, and many predators will begin to appear in the outer areas, mostly monsters in the form of wolves and tigers. However, in terms of the strength of Tian Qiang and Xu Cheng, the demon beasts encountered in the outer area were not enough to threaten their safety, not to mention the more than a dozen monks who had entered the Xuan Three Realms, including Xu Pocheng.

This force is enough to sweep away all threats in the outer area.

At this time, everyone did not immediately cross this sea of flowers into the outer area of the gray and white forest, but scattered in the sea of flowers to look for the white spirit flowers that had passed the flowering period but had not yet withered.

For the first time, Ye Kong felt that it was a good thing that there were many people and great strength.

It took him almost a day today to find three gray soul fruits that had passed the ripening stage, and as for the corpse knot grass, earth shade flowers, and the like, there were none at all, not to mention the white spirit flowers that had not yet withered in the flowering stage.

And now, under Xu Cheng's order, not to mention things like corpse knot grass and earth shade flowers, which are almost equivalent to weeds and wild flowers, even the white-spotted black umbrella mushroom, Xu Cheng took out twelve in one go. As for the White Spirit Flower that Ye Kong had been looking for for a long time and hadn't found, he had now found nearly twenty of them, and Ye Kong was very satisfied with this result, he even felt that if he had known that this was the case, then he might as well not look for the Gray Soul Fruit in the first place.

"Brother Tiger, have you seen enough of this?" Xu Cheng handed over the collected Bailing Flower seeds and petals to Ye Kong.

"That's enough." Ye Kong nodded slightly, the joy in his heart was well hidden by him, "With these materials, it should be over." ”

"Please forgive me for asking more, I don't know what these materials can do?" Although he didn't know enough about the golden compass, he could only listen to Ye Kong's arrangements in many things, but it didn't mean that he completely trusted Ye Kong in everything.

"For the Guardians." Ye Kong said casually, "Before entering the secret passage, put these things outside, which can be regarded as offerings, so that the guardian spirits don't come to disturb us." ”

The look of doubt in Xu Cheng's eyes did not subside, but became a little stronger: "That guardian spirit...... And what you said? ”

"It's not." Ye Kong replied without raising his head, and the movements in his hands were storing these elixirs in different categories, "I saw it in an ancient book." The guardian spirit is a monster, and after being tamed, this kind of creature is fed by its owner, and the person holding the golden compass can be considered his master, so it may not matter. But like the rest of us, if we want to enter the secret path, we must make offerings. ”

Hearing Ye Kong's explanation, the look of doubt in Xu Cheng's eyes retreated a little.

He was naturally quite clear about these common sense issues in the cultivation world.

The so-called demons and monsters do not refer to just one kind of creature, but to four kinds of creatures.

Demon refers to monsters and beasts that have been nourished by spiritual energy and have some magical abilities, but they still have ferocious remains; Demons refer to demons, that is, demons of the earth, heaven, heart, and so on, visible or invisible demons; Ghosts refer to ghosts, ghosts, and other ghosts that only have instinct and no mind, and what is more interesting is that ghost cultivators are classified as ghosts by the monastic world, believing that they no longer belong to living creatures such as humans.

As for monsters, they are exclusive to spirits, including mountain monsters, array spirits, machine spirits, guardian spirits and other alien creatures with intelligence. One of the more interesting things is that once the demon beast gains spiritual wisdom and transforms into a monster, it will also be separated from the demon genus and classified as a spirit.

The first three of the demons and monsters are all characterized as evil, and they basically belong to the type that everyone shouts and fights in the cultivation world - anyway, if you solve it casually, it can be called doing the way for heaven and subduing demons and eliminating demons. And only the monster genus is an exception, and there is no clear camp definition in the cultivation world, because there are both good monsters and evil monsters, and there are also those array spirits and machine spirits that are specially made to kill.

Enshrine the strange genus, which can also be regarded as a common sense cognition in the monastic world.

Most of the time, it's to avoid unnecessary conflicts with spirits. And the choice of worship will also be different according to the different attributes of the spirit itself - for example, in some village settlements, the monster is still kept in place. The maiden in the body of the son, even a child, is a form of worship; Giving fruits, vegetables and other foods to some mountain monsters and spirits is also a way to worship.

Different customs naturally lead to different offerings.

Since I don't know how dangerous it will be after the secret passage, it would be a good thing if I could avoid some unnecessary combat wear and tear before entering the secret passage.

After all, it was rumored that even the Heavenly Dao Mountain, which claimed to have the most true immortals, was also enshrined in the formation spirit of their mountain guarding array. Therefore, it is not a shame for Xu Cheng, Tian Qiang and others, who are just through the Xuan Realm, to worship a guardian spirit left behind in an unknown era in order to avoid unnecessary conflicts.

That's why after asking clearly, Xu Cheng didn't say anything.

Soon, everyone handed the collected elixir to Ye Kong, and he stored it in different categories to avoid the loss and infection of spiritual and medicinal properties.

"We're all set, let's move on." Xu Cheng glanced around at everyone and then spoke.

"Wait, there's one more person who hasn't returned." Xu Pocheng counted the number of people, and then suddenly frowned and said, "One person less." ”

"One less?" Xu Cheng frowned slightly, "Who is missing?" What's going on? ”

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to answer. Although they are looking for elixirs separately, in fact, the direction and distance of each person are clearly defined, basically with Xu Cheng and Tian Qiang as the core, and the farthest exploration distance can reach three meters and a hundred distances.

Originally, this distance was within the range of the divine perception of Xu Cheng and Tian Qiang, and even if there was any danger or problem, it would be immediately perceived by the two.

But now, all of a sudden, there is one person missing, and the two of them are completely unaware, which is a bit incredible.

Ye Kong glanced at Xu Cheng and looked at his gloomy face, knowing that this guy was not engrossed in maintaining his divine perception range just now. But it's no wonder that this kind of thing is going on, after all, it is very draining to concentrate on maintaining this state, and they are not like Ye Kong, who is a ghost cultivator and has a fully automatic perception ability. Moreover, this sea of white spirit flowers is also a dividing line, and many monks will subconsciously relax their vigilance before crossing this dividing line.

Xu Cheng must also think that there will be no danger here, so he did not concentrate on maintaining the range of divine perception of divine thoughts.

It's just that a person suddenly disappeared, but Ye Kong didn't notice it either, which can only show that that person was out of Ye Kong's perception range.

The truth was just as Ye Kong expected, after Xu Cheng used his divine thoughts to sweep away the perception, they quickly found the missing Xu family nursery.

Or rather, his body was found.

His limbs were complete, but his chest and abdomen had been completely dissected, and his internal organs and blood had been licked away, leaving a hideous, frightened, and unwilling look on his face.

"Damn it!" Xu Cheng let out an angry roar, "How can there be a dreadclaw demon wolf here!" ”

The Dreadclaw Demon Wolf is a common wolf monster in the outskirts of the Gray and White Forest. However, unlike ordinary wolf creatures that like to live in groups, dreadclaw demon wolves like to walk alone because of their food intake, and they are not as territorial as ordinary wolf creatures, they are wandering monsters, and they like cold, damp and other places. It is only during mating and parenting periods that pairs of dreadclaw wolves can be seen.

The claws, fur, tail, and skull of this kind of demon beast are all very good refining materials, blood, tail hair, and ear hair are good rune materials, and eyeballs and internal organs are materials for some low-level elixirs, especially the older the dreadclaw demon wolf, the more valuable it is. However, the adult Dreadclaw Demon Wolf has the strength equivalent to the fifth or sixth layer of a human monk, and some of the middle-aged Dreadclaw Demon Wolves have a strength close to that of a human monk entering the ninth layer, so it is very difficult to deal with.

"One blow kills, he doesn't have time to react at all." Ye Kong had already conducted a preliminary examination of the unlucky ghost's body, "But this guy also deserves it." ”

"What did you say!" Xu Cheng rushed to Ye Kong's face with an angry face, stretched out his hand and wanted to grab Ye Kong directly, but when he saw Ye Kong's playful eyes, he finally stopped this thought, but his face was still very ugly.

"Need I repeat that?" Ye Kong sneered, "I said, he deserves it." ”

Xu Cheng stared at Ye Kong for a long time before he said in a deep voice, "Why do you say that." ”

"Here, it's more than two hundred meters from where you just stood, right?" Ye Kong pointed to the corpse at his feet before asking.

Xu Cheng didn't reply, but he glanced back at the position he was standing just now, and he was already able to judge an accurate distance: more than three hundred meters, and it was not within Tian Qiang's perception range.

"This guy found a lone dreadclaw wolf cub, so he crossed the boundary line to catch it, but he didn't expect to lead out the other two dreadclaw wolf on the side." Ye Kong kicked the corpse on the ground with his foot, his face was full of disdain, "That's a pair of dreadclaw demon wolves who are still in their nursery period, and they want to snatch their children in front of them, so naturally this is the end." He probably wanted to come back for help, but unfortunately he couldn't succeed, and when he ran here, he was finally caught up, and then he was bitten off his neck and killed directly. ”

Ye Kong squatted down and pointed to the neck of this corpse, there were four huge cavities in the carotid artery, which were pierced by the fangs of the dreadclaw demon wolf, and even the cervical vertebrae were directly broken under this blow: "This is a dreadclaw demon wolf that is almost close to the consummation of the mystery." Usually, the Dreadclaw Demon Wolf will not choose a partner who is weaker than himself, so these are two Dreadclaw Demon Wolves who almost have the cultivation of the Xuan Realm. …… If it weren't for you and Tian Qiang, with the sensitive sense of smell of the dreadclaw demon wolf, I'm afraid all of us would have to die. ”

Xu Cheng looked at the corpse on the ground with a blue face, still with unwillingness and horror.

"Congratulations." As if he was making a closing statement, Ye Kong stood up with exaggerated body language, "We have now been targeted by two powerful dreadclaw demon wolves. In the next trip, as long as we are a little careless, we will probably become food for those two demon beasts. ”

Hearing this, Xu Cheng's face became even more ugly.

And Ye Kong is also not much better.

He even dared to conclude that the reason why the two Dreadclaw wolves didn't attack them was because the guardian spirit was right next to them. If it weren't for this guardian spirit, I'm afraid they would have already faced the frantic attack of these two furious dreadclaw demon wolves.

"What a pig teammate!" Ye Kong couldn't help but curse secretly, "City Lord Xu, I think it's best for you to restrain your people, if everyone sees any treasures like this idiot, I'm afraid that before we reach the secret passage, everyone will die halfway." ”
