Until the two walked into the depths of the mountain forest, the system still did not give any reply, Liu Jiaojiao could only raise her vigilance again and again, and continue to move forward cautiously.

Liu Jun has changed to the front to explore the way, although he has not gone deep into the mountains and forests, but he has many years of hunting experience, once he finds danger, he can quickly warn, and he can also block the front to facilitate Liu Jiaojiao's escape.

There is no mountain road here for people to walk, so it is all up to Liu Jun to use a knife and chop his feet to make a path.

Looking at the increasingly difficult road in front of her, coupled with the dense forest blocking the sun, the light was dim, and the surroundings were quiet, except for the sound of Liu Jun opening the road and the movement of the two walking, the birds and insects couldn't hear it at all, Liu Jiaojiao couldn't help but feel a trace of fear and regret in her heart.

It's just a system task, and it won't really put your life into it, right?

However, even though she was cranky because she was afraid, her eyes never left the ground around her, and she carefully checked whether there were any ginseng leaves.

The ginseng we see in pharmacies is actually the root, so wild ginseng can only be judged by the leaves, as well as the vintage. The annual leaves are few, called "three flowers", the two-year-old ones are called "five-leaf leaves", the three-year-old ones are called "Erjiazi", and the four-year-old ones are called "three-pint leaves", and the names are superimposed from this point on, the five-year-old ones are "four-pint leaves", and the six-year-old ones are "five-pint leaves", but when it comes to the "six-pint leaves", the ginseng may only grow rhizomes for decades, and the branches and leaves remain unchanged, and still bloom.

The hundred-year-old ginseng that Liu Jiaojiao needs to look for has to be a "seven-grade leaf", which is extremely rare, and wild ginseng also has a characteristic, it will be reincarnated, that is, it will start again from the "three flowers", and change in turn, which is very magical.

Therefore, this also led to the difficulty of Liu Jiaojiao's search, and she couldn't let go of a single ginseng, because no one could guarantee whether the "three flowers" she saw were really one-year ginseng or a century-old ginseng after reincarnation.

This should be the most difficult task released by the system so far, testing not only her physical strength, but also her courage and eyesight.

After a few hours, her eyes were so tired that they began to cry, and it was really hard to concentrate on finding something.

"Jiaojiao, why don't we rest and eat something first? You should be hungry too, right? Liu Jun looked at Liu Jiaojiao, whose eyes turned red and who was wiping her tears with her sleeve, and felt distressed.

Liu Jiaojiao nodded sullenly, followed Liu Jun to find a clean big stone, sat down and began to eat the dry food she brought.

The dry food is the leftover egg cake in the morning, which is already cold at this time, and the taste is naturally not as good as when it was just out of the pot in the morning. Although Liu Jiaojiao was awkward, in order to replenish the lost physical strength, she still ate several pieces of cake with the water in the kettle.

This big stone is really big, and the upward side is very flat, enough for two people to lie on it, Liu Jiaojiao just wanted to lie down and rest for a while, but accidentally saw a plant growing next to the stone.

Seven pint leaves? That's right, it's Qipinye!

Liu Jiaojiao got up suddenly, and after making a silent gesture to Liu Jun, she slowed down her steps and cautiously approached the ginseng plant.

After getting closer and confirming it repeatedly, Liu Jiaojiao's eyes lit up with excitement.

It's really a seven-pint leaf! In other words, this is definitely a century-old ginseng!

A few minutes ago, she was so worried that her hair was going to turn white, but she didn't expect that the next moment there would be a big reversal, life is really like a roller coaster, making your heart beat faster every minute.

Liu Jiaojiao couldn't hide the joy and excitement in her heart, and was about to squat down to pick this ginseng, when she suddenly heard Liu Jun's eager voice behind her: "Jiaojiao, quickly retreat!" ”

Liu Jiaojiao hurriedly retreated and took a big step back, didn't stand firmly, sat on the ground, and just wanted to speak, her eyes widened with fright when she was frightened by everything in front of her.

I saw a snake only the thickness of chopsticks raising its head at her, the snake body was red, there was no variegation, almost no scales could be seen, the head was triangular, and at a glance I knew that it was a poisonous snake, and the snake letter turned out to be black, with a pure red body, it looked particularly weird.

The snake had been squatting in the grass next to the ginseng, but she didn't notice it because the grass was so lush and small.

If it weren't for Liu Jun's sudden voice to make her retreat, the hand she stretched out would definitely be bitten.

I'm a good girl, if I am bitten by this kind of snake that I know is highly poisonous at a glance, I guess she will hang up directly.

Liu Jun's body tensed, staring at the snake deadly, but she didn't dare to move at all, and she didn't dare to pull Liu Jiaojiao up first. His father once told him that snakes cannot be seen, and that they can only determine the direction by the movements made by people, and that they must not move when they encounter snakes, otherwise they will definitely be attacked.

Liu Jiaojiao also knew this common sense, she felt that the hairs on her body stood up, but she didn't dare to move at all, for fear that she would make a movement to anger this unknown poisonous snake.

I remember reading a novel before, which said that wherever there are natural treasures, there are generally very ferocious beasts guarding them, could it be that this red flame snake is the caretaker of the century-old ginseng?

But isn't that all the setting of a fantasy novel about cultivating immortals? Could it be that there are still immortal cultivators in this era she has traveled through?

Hurry up and help! Your hostel is going to hang!

Just when Liu Jiaojiao was frightened and cranky, Liu Jun suddenly moved.

Liu Jiaojiao saw a flash of silver light in front of her, and then the red flame snake was given something to the ground, and when she looked at it, it was a slender lancet that fixed it, and the position it fixed was the lower two fingers of its head.

Isn't this the legendary seven inches of the snake?

The Red Flame Snake did not die immediately after being frozen, and kept churning, the slender snake body destroyed a lot of weeds, and it struggled for a while before the snake body came to a standstill.

Liu Jiaojiao let out a long breath, the first was to be glad that she had escaped death, and the second was to be glad that the snake's head was rushing at the ginseng, so the ravages of the snake body did not endanger it, otherwise this ginseng might have been wasted.

"Jiaojiao, are you alright?" Liu Jun went over to help her up, and he was also frightened, so his voice trembled.

Liu Jiaojiao got up with the help of strength, patted off the grass clippings on her body, and said in fear: "I'm fine, I was really scared to death just now!" ”

Liu Jun carefully checked her up and down, and after confirming that she was not injured, she said in surprise: "I didn't expect to encounter such danger, have you found any particularly precious herbs?" Otherwise, why would you rush to pick it without figuring out the surrounding situation? I'm afraid I'll be slow or you don't care, but luckily, luckily! ”

Liu Jun patted his chest lightly with his hand as he spoke, God knows how scared he was when he found a snake in the grass just now, fortunately he reacted quickly and stopped Liu Jiaojiao, otherwise...... The consequences are unimaginable.

Liu Jiaojiao is a big heart, seeing that the danger has passed, her mentality is instantly calm, and her curiosity comes out at once, she still sees this kind of snake for the first time, and she wants to take a closer look at what it looks like.

Seeing her walking towards the Red Flame Snake, Liu Jun immediately grabbed her, shook her head and said, "You wait for me to make sure if it is dead, it is the first time I have seen such a snake, and I am not sure if it really killed it, Dad said that some animals will pretend to be dead to make people relax their vigilance." ”

Liu Jiaojiao nodded clearly, there are no wonders in the world, and animals are not necessarily worse than humans when they play with their hearts, so it is better to be careful.

Liu Jun took out the sickle placed in the back basket, stepped forward cautiously, and after carefully observing it for a while, he simply cut off the snake's head with a swing of the knife, and the position of the lower knife was next to the lancet, so the snake's head was still fixed on the ground.

The moment the snake's head was cut off, I saw that the snake body, which had been stationary, suddenly churned again, and it was accurately wrapped around Liu Jun's right leg, constantly tightening, so frightened that Liu Jiaojiao almost screamed. But Liu Jun didn't care at all, and let the headless snake body wrap around his legs, but in an instant, the snake body slowly relaxed, and then fell to the ground, like a mess of mud.

Liu Jun poked the snake's head a few times with the tip of the sickle to make sure that it was completely dead, so he turned around and smiled at Liu Jiaojiao and said, "Jiaojiao, it's safe, you can come over." ”

Liu Jiaojiao suddenly shuddered, why did she feel a little sorry for the snake?
