Chapter 26: The Monster Forest
Han Bing said goodbye to Liu Yue, took the mutilated map, performed the Ice Escape Technique, and his body disappeared into the void, rushing towards the southern direction of Sunset Star at an extremely fast speed.
According to his estimates, the location of the Medicine King Valley is millions of miles away from the Zhao Kingdom, and with the vast territory in the south, it is not easy to find the Medicine King Valley.
Half a month later, Han Bing revealed his figure from the void, took out the map, and compared it to confirm the direction again. This place is far away from the Zhao Kingdom, and the spiritual power in the air here is quite strong, much stronger than the Zhao Kingdom.
In front of Han Bing, there was a dense jungle, and from time to time, the sound of beast roars came from within it.
"It looks like this is a Warcraft forest. Han Bing looked at the endless ancient forest in front of him and muttered to himself. Depending on the direction, he needed to cross the forest. After a little groaning, Han Bing's body disappeared again.
The scope of this Demonic Beast Forest is extremely large, Han Bing is flying in the void, and occasionally encounters some third-order or fourth-order Demonic Beasts, and will also appear to kill them, but after killing more than a dozen in a row, not even a single Demon Core has been found. The magic core is not in every demonic beast, and finding the magic core is also a matter of probability. It's just that the probability of a high-level demonic beast having a demon core in its body is much higher than that of a low-level demonic beast.
But Han Bing was not completely without gains, at least, on a fourth-order lion beast, he collected a large amount of fur, the fur of this lion beast was also one of the medicinal materials for refining certain pills, and Huayuan Dan was just able to use it. Moreover, this lion beast was huge, and the amount of fur that Han Bing had collected was quite large, enough to be used as an excipient for dozens of pills.
In the evening of this day, Han Bing was walking through the room when he suddenly noticed a noise not far ahead, and this noise was accompanied by human voices.
"Deep in the forest here, there are actually monks coming and going?" Han Bing was puzzled and slowly leaned up.
When Han Bing came closer, he finally found out that there was a valley here, and above the valley, a team of about ten people was fighting with a lion beast, the battle was quite fierce, and two or three people had fallen on the ground.
This lion beast seemed to have just entered the fourth order, and it was even worse than the one that Han Bing had killed before. But it is obvious that the cultivation of this group is not enough, and it is quite difficult to deal with the lion beast.
"Father, be careful!"
Han Bing followed the sound and looked at it, the lion beast was injured on its back, and at this moment, it was opening its bloody mouth and biting down on the throat of a middle-aged man.
"Beasts die!" In the distance, a thin, plainly dressed figure came galloping all the way with a steel fork, and listening to its voice, it was a woman. Behind her, several more people followed. Seeing that it was too late, the eyes of several people showed horror and despair.
At the moment when the teeth of the lion beast were about to touch the throat of the middle-aged man, with a whoosh, an extremely cold wind swept by, and in the cold wind, a crystal ice needle the thickness of a thumb instantly pierced into the skull of the lion beast.
"Roar!" the lion beast was in pain, and its body was shaken out of the way under the huge impact of the ice needle, and it rolled to the ground.
This sudden situation shocked the people present. They all looked around, but they didn't find any figures.
After rolling a few laps on the ground, the lion barely stood up, its eyes blood-red and the hair on its neck standing on end. A whining roar came from his throat.
Han Bing appeared behind the lion beast, the moment he appeared, his palm gently slapped on the back of the lion beast, only to hear a muffled sound, in the lion beast's abdomen, corresponding to the back slap, a column of blood mixed with internal organs spurted out, and condensed into ice in a very short time after it appeared.
The lion's body immediately went limp, and after a few weak struggles, it died completely. This kind of lion beast that had just advanced to the fourth order was not difficult to kill for Han Bing, who was in the late stage of the Great Perfection of Soul Truth. Plus it was already injured before, so it was a little easier.
The eyes of the team members were all horrified at this moment, and they all looked at this life-saving benefactor who suddenly appeared.
Han Bing ignored their gaze, held the knife in his right hand, easily cut off the fur of the lion beast, and put it into the ring, and then gently pressed his right hand on the skull of the lion beast, and the spiritual power was lightly exhaled, and the skull shattered in response, and the red and white things on the ground.
"There's no core. Han Bing shook his head and sighed. After doing all this, he raised his head and fixed his gaze on the dull-looking faces.
The woman was the first to come to her senses, and quickly rushed to the middle-aged man's side and helped him up. "Father, are you alright?"
"Quick, thank you for saving your life. The middle-aged man held his daughter's wrist and said hurriedly.
"Thank you seniors for saving your life. Only then did everyone react and hugged their fists.
"You're welcome, why did you come to the depths of this forest?" said Han Bing with a wave of his hand.
"Back to our predecessors, we are residents of the town, we collect and sell medicinal herbs for a living, and we came here to look for medicinal herbs, but this time we went a little farther, so we ......," the woman said, and when she mentioned the situation just now, she was still shocked and afraid.
"Herb merchant?" Han Bing was stunned.
"Yes, senior!" the middle-aged man got up from the ground, looked at Han Bing a little timidly, and said respectfully. Han Bing's exercises were too weird, he had never seen them in his life.
Han Bing nodded, thoughtfully, took out a piece of kraft paper from the ring, and with a shake of his right hand, the kraft paper turned into a streamer and flew into the middle-aged man's hand. "Have you collected any medicinal herbs on this?"
The middle-aged man hurriedly took the brown paper, unfolded it, swept it carefully, and after leaning a little, he replied: "Back to the seniors, there are about twenty kinds of medicinal materials in this list, we have collected them, and they are in the bag. ”
"Oh?" Han Bing's eyes shone brightly, this was really an unexpected gain.
Under the orders of the middle-aged man, everyone unpacked their bags one after another, took out a large number of medicinal herbs, tied them neatly, wrapped them in silk cloth, and sent them to Han Bing.
"What is the price of these medicinal materials?" Han Bing put away the medicinal materials and asked.
"You don't need to pay any remuneration from your seniors, you should be rewarded. The middle-aged man hurriedly said.
"Let's talk about the price. Han Bing said that he didn't want to take advantage of these poor people.
"This-" Seeing Han Bing's determined expression, the middle-aged man hesitated for a moment before saying, "These medicinal materials, if they are purchased at the purchase price of the medicinal herb shop in the town, should be able to sell for 1,000 spirit stones." ”
"It's not expensive. Han Bing nodded. These herbs are abundant, and it seems that this team has been collecting them for a long time.
"Back in the past, when the herb store bought it from us medicine pickers, the price was not high, and when they processed it a little and sold it over the counter, the price was higher. Next to the middle-aged man, an old man with a dark face explained.
"Take these spirit stones. Don't go any further inside. Han Bing nodded slightly, took out 1,200 spirit stones from the ring, handed them to the middle-aged man, and then, with a single step, his body disappeared, and he disappeared in a blink of an eye.
