Chapter 42: Entering the Moonflower Forest
The next day, a group of people continued to repair, and the guide had already been contacted, it was an experienced lone mercenary, this was the fifth one found, and the first four heard that they were going to enter the Yuehua Forest and refused directly, but since the other party was willing to risk his life to take it, he naturally had the conditions.
"I don't have to pay a commission, but I hope you'll help me find a spirit grass when the time comes. This spirit grass only grows in the wetlands in the middle of the Yuehua Forest, and is guarded by demon beasts above level four. ”
The person who came was a bearded middle-aged man, his name was Hu Donghua, and his name was feminine, but he was not feminine at all, with dark skin and a tall body, and he had an eye patch in one eye. But the other eye was still fierce.
"What spirit grass?" The spirit grass that can be specially guarded by demon beasts is generally of a high level.
The fourth-level demon beasts are already equivalent to the level of martial artists, and among their group this time, Feng Linglang's subordinates have seven mid-martial arts and two early stages of great martial artists and one middle stage of great martial artists, and Feng Linglang's current strength, if it is the same as the previous life, should be the middle stage of martial arts, as long as it is not against the demon beasts above the seventh level, it is basically not dangerous.
Fortunately, there are many demon beasts in Yuehua Forest, but the level is not very high, the highest should be around level five, but the three of them, although Lin Xiaoxiao is also a martial artist, has no combat experience, and it is very dangerous to the demon beasts that have grown up from the fight, and she and Feng Jinxuan have no self-protection ability, once they encounter a relatively high-level demon beast, they may become a burden.
"Hollow lotus seed grass. There were two guardian demon beasts next to them, a fourth-level Blood Hook Snake and a deep-ground stone crocodile that fast-forwarded to level five. The middle-aged man pursed his lips and said, looking at the eyes of several people with anticipation and nervousness.
He has been waiting for almost a year, but no mercenary group has been willing to take on this task, and he doesn't have enough money to put a reward, and the money he has worked hard for a year is not enough to reward the two demon beasts above level 4 for what is in their mouths.
"Hollow Lotus Seed Grass? fifth-level spirit grass, no wonder. Mu Ran nodded, turned her head to look at Feng Linglang, he was in charge of the team, and whether she agreed to let him or not, although she really wanted the fourth-level beast pill in her heart, but she also knew about the two demon beasts.
The blood hook snake is undoubtedly a highly poisonous thing, the whole body is black and brown, often hidden in the black mud is difficult to distinguish, only the tail is a scorpion-like barb, blood red, as long as the barb is scratched or bitten, it will kill immediately.
And the deep stone crocodile, the whole body is as silver and gray as a stone, floating on the dirt and not moving, it looks like a stone is difficult to distinguish, but also because of a leather armor like a stone, it is almost invulnerable, and the wetland swamp is its world, in which his flexibility is extremely amazing, and the bite force is very strong, and the limbs have barbed claws, and the fourth-level ones are extremely difficult to deal with, not to mention that they are still about to advance.
Mu Ran was reluctant to accept Feng Linglang in her heart, because only Feng Linglang could deal with it here, but the terrain was too unfavorable for him, although several great martial artists could help, but there was no guarantee that they would be able to retreat, she didn't want to see someone die.
Feng Jinxuan also knew about the two demon beasts, but he just raised his eyebrows noncommittally, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Lin Xiaoxiao doesn't care, anyway, she only wants to enter the forest now, and as for the rest, she doesn't care.
The middle-aged man observed the expressions of several people, his heart went up and down, and his eyes finally fell on Feng Linglang, who seemed to be the leader, and the other party's eyes did not fluctuate from beginning to end, and he couldn't see what the other party meant.
"Yes, but the rhizomes of the hollow lotus seed grass must be left, and the seeds must also be left after ripening, as well as the two demon beasts. After a while, Feng Linglang finally made up his mind.
Hu Donghua was stunned for a moment, and then became excited, "Yes, I only need the stamens of hollow lotus seeds, and I can give you the rest." ”
Each plant has more than three stamens, according to the quality of the stamens, the more stamens, the better the quality, the nine stamens are the best, it can be seen that the importance of the stamens, it can be said that all the value of the hollow lotus grass is on the stamens.
So Feng Linglang didn't want a stamen, but a rhizome, which is quite intriguing.
Mu Ran inexplicably thought of what he said yesterday and wanted to find some rare spirit grass to cultivate, and unconsciously turned his head to look at Feng Linglang.
But the other party had already gotten up and said to everyone that he would move freely today, and he would take Hu Donghua away tomorrow morning.
Feng Jinxuan shook the fan, half of the fan covered his mouth and nose, only showing his eyes and glancing at Murong ambiguously, then he also got up, grabbed Lin Xiaoxiao's back collar and brought her up, "You stupid girl doesn't seem to understand anything, come here and let this king ****, at least the basic common sense knows." ”
"Hey, you rascal, let go, don't you know if men and women kiss or not?"
"Oh, so you're a woman, I'm sorry I haven't seen it. ”
"You, bastard, let me go, or I'll beat you." ”
"It is a felony to beat the emperor's relatives for no reason~"
"Oh, oh, you're big, dog!"
The two left noisily, leaving Mu Ran alone in the same place with mixed feelings.
Hu Donghua was taken away by Feng Linglang and only asked a few questions about the situation of the wetland, since he knew so clearly, he must have deliberately investigated or been there himself.
Hu Donghua did go there, and his eye was left there, and he was almost eaten by the demon beasts inside before he was close to it.
Allowed to leave, Hu Donghua almost smirked all the way back, rushed back to his fence courtyard and immediately shouted, "Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, you are saved, finally someone is willing to help find the hollow lotus seed grass." ”
The door of the middle hall was pushed open, the curtain of the inner room was lifted, and a beautiful woman dressed as a village woman walked out.
The woman's face was as pale as paper, her eyes were blue and black, her breath was unsteady, she had a cough, her steps were vain, and she was obviously seriously ill, but there was no doubt that this woman was very beautiful and well-deserved to be sick.
When Hu Donghua saw her come out, she hurriedly stepped forward to support her, "Daughter-in-law, why did you come out, you said that you are not in good health, don't get out of bed." ”
"I'm fine, I've felt a lot better this time, what did you just say about the early hollow lotus seed grass, you want to enter the Yuehua Forest again?" the woman shook her head and grabbed his arm with her backhand, looking anxious, and coughing in a hurry.
Hu Donghua hurriedly helped her to calm down, and said, "Daughter-in-law, I must go this time, the other party's team looks very strong, if you miss this opportunity, I don't know how long you will have to wait, I can't wait, and you can't wait." ”
"No, Adong, I beg you, don't go, anyway, I don't have a few years to live, you don't have to pay for my dying person. The woman's face turned even paler, and she grabbed Hu Donghua's arm and pleaded.
Hu Donghua felt distressed, but still gritted her teeth and said, "Daughter-in-law, you don't need to persuade me, I don't want to watch you die, if you die, I will go with you, let's be a ghost couple, since we are going to die sooner or later, then there is a little hope and we can't give up, hehe, you don't have to worry, this time it may really be successful, I promise to come back safely, you just wait for me at home, I'm still waiting for you to give me a white fat boy." ”
"You...... Ahem, ahem, Adong ......"
"Okay, don't get excited, now take a good rest and take care of your body, and when I bring back the hollow lotus seed grass, your illness can be completely removed, and we don't have to be ghost couples at that time." ”
"You...... Hey, forget it, I know I can't persuade you, then you remember your words, you must come back safely, if you have three long and two short, I won't live alone. ”
"Good. ”
The next day, everyone gathered at the entrance of the inn early in the morning, and there were many onlookers.
Mainly because I heard that they took over Hu Donghua's conditions.
Hu Donghua's conditions are not known here, looking for the hollow lotus seed grass, or the spirit grass guarded by two fourth-level demon beasts next to it, isn't this looking for death, not to mention that it is still a swamp over there, even if there are no demon beasts, it is also a death zone.
And there are three girls who don't seem to have the power to protect themselves and a gentleman who doesn't seem to have any force in this group, and this group of people seems to have gone and never returned this time, and even if they do, it is estimated that they will suffer heavy losses.
Everyone looked at this group of people, their eyes were full of pity and regret, and of course, there were those who watched the show.
Xiao Er stood at the door of the store with a sigh on his face, he deliberately tried to persuade him after hearing about it last night, but unfortunately the other party didn't listen.
After a stick of incense was assembled, a group of fifteen people soon walked towards the direction of the forest with their burdens on their backs, leaving only one person to guard the goods and horses.
The moment he stepped into the forest, Feng Linglang ordered to look around the periphery, and everyone followed Ling Muran, and if they encountered demon beasts, they would kill all the rest except for the young beasts.
Mu Ran first followed the map sent by the middle-aged man who sold the demon raccoon to find the spirit grass with the known direction.
The periphery is relatively safe, and the level of the demon beasts is about one or two levels, and most of them are grassy ground, so there is no danger.
After a trip down, by noon, dozens of first-level demon beasts and more than a dozen second-level demon beasts had been hunted, and the harvest of the spirit grass was also a lot, and a total of twelve young spirit grass species were found, all of which were relatively rare on the market, with a second-level grade, and I accidentally found a mature three-grade spirit grass, because it was in the nest of a group of demon beasts, so no one deliberately checked it, but it was cheap for her, and the demon beast spirit grass was a pot.
"These look no different from ordinary grasses, you can still identify them one by one, the aura seems to be very thin, just some low-level spirit grass, right?" Lin Xiaoxiao squatted down next to Mu Ran, who was dealing with the spirit grass, and watched her carefully wash each spirit grass with spirit water and put it in a long box, and couldn't help but say.
"Heh, except for the third-level mature phoenix flying flower, the rest are indeed second-level spirit grasses, but don't look at their low grade, the effect is not small, just like these two plants, Acacia Seed and Xiangqinglan, these are two of the eight treasure flower ointments. Mu Ran explained with a smile.
"Oh?" Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she immediately looked at the two seedlings, but unfortunately the seedlings seemed to look about the same, and she couldn't tell what was from what, so she couldn't help but admire Mu Ran even more, how could she tell the difference, and she could still call out her name.
(The author is overdrawn, thinking of dozens of elixir names, elixir names, and food names, names of various places, names of martial arts, mental weapons, demon beasts, not to mention human names, I think about names every day, so the name of the spirit grass can only be directly selected with the help of herbal medicine, so if someone recognizes this as a certain herb, don't sit in the right seat, because the author will definitely break the form and effect of the herb according to the plot.) You will lose the test~)
