Chapter 9: Phantom Mushrooms
Until the second half of the night, Shen Xia and the five of them had been moving smoothly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although they encountered the wandering nail rake cat twice in the middle, the team avoided it as much as possible. Under Shang Wu's leadership, they were lucky enough to collect two Star Spirit Grasses soon after. This relatively rare plant in the Ginkgo Valley is as valuable as deer blood essence. During the day, it lurks under the surface of the soil and dead branches and leaves, and at night it only stretches out under the light of the stars, and can be used to refine several expensive potions, which is a frequent visitor on the purchase list of pharmacist Mr. Xia.
Shang Wu has gone out for night hunting three or four times, and he has only found it once before.
In addition to the herbs, the five of them then hunted a deer again. Although it did not condense the deer blood essence, this young deer, which was two sizes smaller, accidentally contributed a pair of deer antler velvets, which was also a valuable material.
Affected by this, the spirit of the five members of the team became more and more excited.
Shang Wu even came to the conclusion early that this was most likely the most fruitful and smoothest of his several night hunts.
"There's still time, work harder!"
After glancing up and estimating the time, the five of them fought hard, wanting to take advantage of the last hour before returning to see if they could gain more.
"This forest in front is a bit dangerous, it is said that someone accidentally planted it in it a few days ago and did not come out, so let's take a detour...... After a few hundred meters, there's a spot I didn't finish exploring last time, and I might be able to find something. Shang Wu whispered as he walked ahead and continued to lead the way.
Under his guidance, the team arrived at the last unexplored place without danger.
Under normal circumstances, within a radius of more than ten miles from the Daoyuan, there will not be too many rare things. Because, not only the night hunters, but also the aboriginal masters in the Taoist courtyard will also go out to search regularly. But there are always exceptions to everything, and the place occupied by the Taoist temple is a treasure land, and there is a spiritual spring formed by mountain streams and waterfalls nearby. Far more intense than the surrounding magical energy, the nearby realm has a lot of attraction to many things.
For example, Phantom Mushrooms!
It is a large mushroom with an amber cap that gives off a charming sheen at night. Its mature body is about three feet tall, but the stipe is only as thick as a little finger. Like the man-eating flowers and millennium dryads in the Marfa Continent, it can rely on the root system to move, and it is a rare plant with independent consciousness.
What's even more rare is that it is far less threatening to humanity than the first two, but its value is very amazing.
"It's a phantom mushroom!"
The moment he confirmed the big amber mushroom, Shang Wu's eyes straightened and he kept muttering to himself.
"Phantom mushrooms? Is this the thing in front of you? ”
Not only did Shen Xia and Fang Jin not know, but even the other two masked Yu Xingqing and Zhuang Yuan didn't know the origin of the phantom mushroom. Yu Xingqing's qualifications are relatively older, and after thinking for a while, he faintly remembered that Daoist Zhu had mentioned it when he explained the basic herbs of Ginkgo Biloba Valley, but he couldn't remember anything more specific.
However, although it is not clear what it is for, it does not prevent several people from knowing its value.
Even when he dug up two Star Spirit Grasses before, Shang Wu didn't have such a gaffe. From this, it can be seen that the value of this thing should be far higher than that of Star Spirit Grass!
"You don't know?"
After recovering a little after a short period of ecstasy, seeing that the few members of the team were not impressed, Shang Wu couldn't help but pouted helplessly, and said, "Although the daily body forging training is indeed very hard, as a future Taoist priest, herbology is still very important, and I strongly recommend that you take the time to learn a little." As for what is the use of phantom mushrooms...... you know the sun water and powerful sun water in "Legend", right? ”
"it!"
Yu Xingqing was taken aback by Shang Wu's suggestion, and couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.
In fact, not only him, but the other three were also taken aback. For no other reason, the Elixir of the Solar Water series is an expensive high-grade Elixir in the "Legends" of the Earth World. Not only can health and mana be restored at the same time, but more importantly, it will be restored instantly, and there is no limit to the interval between uses!
In this real world, it is a treasure that professionals use to save their lives at critical moments!
If Shang Wu didn't admit that he was wrong, this phantom mushroom was really the material for the configuration of the Sun Water series of elixirs, then tonight's night hunt would definitely make a lot of money. Even for those low-level professionals, finding the Phantom Spirit Mushroom can be regarded as a small fortune, let alone for the five ordinary people who are not even Taoist disciples.
"This is a phantom mushroom! With it, I can directly exchange blood qi dispersion, and then break through in one fell swoop! ”
His thinking diverged a little, and Shang Wu, who had just calmed down, couldn't help but get excited again.
Yu Xingqing and the others were also excited, rubbing their hands and urging: "What are you waiting for?" Boss Shangwu hurriedly dug it out! ”
Under the huge benefits, he even changed his name to Shang Wu.
"This can't be rushed, this can't be rushed!"
Shang Wu's mood was obviously very good, and he didn't know when he felt a knife in his hand, and while cautiously stepping forward, he explained without looking back: "The mycelium of the phantom mushroom is poisonous, so you can't be frizzy when dealing with it, you must come a little bit." If you can dig it back intact and convert it into deer blood essence, I estimate that everyone will be able to get three or five portions! ”
These most intuitive words made everyone almost excited.
Although Yu Xingqing participated in the night hunt for the third time, the harvest of the previous two times combined was not as much as half of this time. Not to mention Zhuang Yuan, he still remembered that when he first participated in the night hunt, he had almost no harvest except for a few pieces of venison, and he was even almost killed by a demonized scarecrow. This time, I participated in the night hunt again, and I don't know how many times I hesitated before I made up my mind.
Fang Jin was also very annoyed.
If he had known that the benefits of the night hunt were so large, he would definitely have participated in the night hunt as soon as he knew about it, let alone tried to dissuade Shen Xia beforehand. Fortunately, my cousin was resolute enough to insist on coming over, otherwise at least two deer blood pills would have flown like this!
Shen Xia's expression was relatively calm, but it was just a pretense, and the excitement inside was no less than others.
In their respective calculations, Shang Wu accelerated the processing of the phantom mushroom. According to him, it would take another minute or two at most to pick it up completely, which couldn't help but attract a few more cheers.
However, they were too excited and elated, and at this time they did not realize that a great danger was coming.
A large and heavy sea of clouds, unconsciously drifting from the west of the Ginkgo Valley, gradually obscured the moonlight. The night, which was still bright, suddenly became pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers.
"What's going on?"
Shang Wu, who was preoccupied with the Phantom Mushroom, was startled by the sudden darkness, and his hand shook and he almost didn't stab the knife into the stalk of the Phantom Mushroom.
Not only him, but several other people were excited, but they also ignored the attention to the subtle changes in the celestial phenomena. So much so that it was not until the clouds covered the moonlight and the surrounding land was dark that I realized what had happened.
"Damn, this cloud is too bad for the time, just a little bit."
Cursing, Shang Wu had to stop for a while, and turned his head to signal Yu Xingqing and Zhuang Yuan to distribute torches.
If it is a professional with mana, such as a level 7 mage who has mastered the fireball technique, it is not too simple to summon a ball of flame at this moment. However, the meager Dao power of several Daoists was obviously not to the extent of doing whatever they wanted, and they had to use fire sickles to fight the fire. With a clattering sound, sparks burst out, igniting torches mixed with pine resin and animal fat.
Although the light of a single torch is limited, several torches join together to disperse the darkness again.
Under this light, the five of them are a lot more down-to-earth in their hearts.
Shang Wu, who was about to continue to deal with the Phantom Spirit Mushroom, inadvertently glanced up into the distance, and his body froze violently as if he had been petrified.
Yu Xingqing and Zhuang Yuan were stunned for a moment, and when they looked over, their expressions changed suddenly, and their faces turned pale.
Fear spread like a tidal wave.
