There was no concept of time in the enchantment, and almost a day later, Lin Xiao and his party had almost reached the south of the enchantment. During this period, Lin Xiao and others collected a lot of strange flowers and plants, and also encountered three beasts in their juveniles, but under the guidance of Lin Xiao and Qi Zheng, Chen Yu and Qiu Feng and others were able to subdue them without danger.

What made Li Ding strange was that the three subdued spirit beasts were just hung on the tree by Lin Xiao and them, saying that they couldn't kill the juvenile spirit beasts. Although such a move was strange, Li Ding didn't ask much.

However, although the spirit beasts encountered on the road were not very powerful, the encounter of the lightning team still made Lin Xiao dare not be careless. The speed of the team's progress slowed down, on the one hand, for the sake of safety, and the other reason was naturally to wait for Bai Yingzhan to catch up, but a day passed, and there was still no shadow of Bai Yingzhan.

Seeing that it will climb over two mountain ridges, this kind of terrain is the favorite place for spirit beasts to stay. After a short wait, Bai Yingzhan still didn't catch up, and time couldn't be delayed like this, so Lin Xiao had to temporarily change the route he had set before.

Instead of climbing over the two ridges in front of him, he went directly from the eastern slope to the southern valley, so that he could avoid those overly dense mountain forests, although he might pick less exotic herbs, but for the sake of everyone's safety, Lin Xiao had to do this.

The group hit the road again. When subduing those beasts before, Li Ding could only watch from a distance, Qi Zheng didn't want him to participate at all, although he knew that he couldn't help at all, but Li Ding became more and more interested in spirit beasts.

"Didn't you say that it's difficult to see flying beasts in the inner enchantment?" Li Ding asked Chen Yu as he walked.

Chen Yu replied helplessly: "I only said that I haven't seen it, it doesn't mean that there isn't." In the past few times, we have met at most beasts that have reached the mortal body, and because my master is here, we can also have the opportunity to play two tricks with these beasts and try our martial arts skills. I didn't expect Uncle Qiu and the others to encounter the flying beast this time, I heard that the speed of the flying beast is much faster than that of the beast, but I didn't expect it to cause them such a big trouble. ”

The conversation between Li Ding and the two also attracted the attention of Qiu Feng on the side, and he stepped forward and said to Li Ding: "Uncle Li doesn't know, we just entered the inner enchantment before our eyes were fully opened, and the beast suddenly attacked, if it wasn't for the boss's quick reaction and the first time to protect those new disciples, plus my father fought with all his might, maybe I and several of my fellow disciples would have died." ”

Qiu Feng's voice was low and flat, with a light smile on his face, as if he was talking about something that was not his own, but Li Ding could feel the tension and danger at that time.

The old nature in Qiu Feng's mouth was Feng Yi, the head of the lightning group, and thinking that with the strength of Feng Yi Ning Yuan in the late stage, he also broke an arm, Li Ding couldn't help but exclaim. Then he asked, "I don't know what kind of flying beast it is, is it big?"

"It's big, I didn't see it clearly, its speed is too fast, and with the strength of my father's Imperial Spirit Realm, it only hurt that guy. It's a pity that I didn't kill it, and it reached the mortal body, I guess that guy must have a spirit core in his body, which is the top grade in the heavenly spirit source. Qiu Feng said lightly.

"Spirit core, the same as the electric pill?" asked Li Ding.

This time, it was Qi Zheng who spoke: "That is much more advanced than the electric pill, there are too many things that gather spirits between heaven and earth, but the only ones that can be used for cultivation are the heavenly spirit source and the earth spirit source, but this is only a general division by the place where the collected body lives." According to legend, the electric pill was collected by the Qing people from the giant electric eel in the deep sea, but it was the secret of the Qing people, and outsiders did not know. ”

Li Ding had already absorbed the spiritual source in the electric pill, and knew how powerful that energy was, and was shocked for a moment when he heard that this spiritual core was even more advanced than the electric pill, but he heard Qi Zheng continue: "The heavenly spiritual source and the earth spiritual source are divided into upper, middle and lower grades, the electric spirit pill is actually a kind of spirit core, and this electric pill is only a medium grade, the flying beast that Qiu Feng said just now that has reached the mortal body may only have a spirit core, because generally only spirit beasts that have lived for hundreds of years will give birth to spirit cores. ”

"Is that so?" Li Ding nodded, the last time he said goodbye to Yu Lao, Huayang also talked about the Heavenly Spirit Source and the Earth Spirit Source, but he didn't say that there was such a division. Just thinking about it, Li Ding noticed that the team suddenly stopped, and when he looked up, he saw Lin Xiao beckoning Qi Zheng to come over.

"Do you smell it?" Lin Xiao asked Qi Zheng in a low voice, Qi Zheng moved his nose, and after sniffing it carefully, he also showed a smile on his face, turned to the puzzled people and made a small gesture, and said in a low voice: "This is really a coincidence, just talking about the high-grade spiritual source, this is coming." ”

Qi Zheng's gesture made everyone vigilant, and Li Ding also moved his nose, but except for the unique smell of dead grass in the forest, he didn't smell anything.

Puzzled, after cautiously walking through a waist-deep slope of grass, a tall tree that was different from the other trees around it appeared in sight. The tree is dozens of feet tall, and the long, pointed green leaves on the scattered thick branches form a huge umbrella cover, covering the entire hillside in its shadow.

"What kind of tree is this? It's so tall and big. Qiu Yue shouted in surprise.

"Be quiet. Lin Xiao in front of him suddenly shouted in a low voice, making Qiu Yue stick out her tongue. Thinking of the previous incident of drunken agarwood, Li Ding realized that there might also be a huge danger hidden in it, and just as he was thinking about it, he heard Qi Zheng whisper: "Generally, there will be high-level spirit beasts next to this kind of heavenly and earthly treasures, don't alarm them." ”

This sentence made everyone's nerves tense, and Li Ding had to be more and more cautious when he looked around.

Looking at the towering giant tree, it is really a little strange, there is only one tree on such a large hillside, and the appearance of the leaves is obviously different from the surrounding trees, there are dozens of small ditches intertwined on the ground under the tree, and I don't know how it was formed.

Li Ding looked at it for a while and didn't see any clues, but at this time, his nose smelled a very special fragrance, which was faint but refreshing, and he carefully identified it and found that the smell came from the giant tree. It seems that Lin Xiao and Qi Zheng, who are alchemists, have smelled this fragrance before.

The breeze blew, and the slender leaves of the giant tree swayed with the wind, constantly transmitting the fragrance, Li Ding stared at the rough trunk of the giant tree with some surprise, and couldn't guess where the heavenly treasure in Qi Zheng's mouth was, it wouldn't be such a giant tree itself, right?

Just as they were thinking, they had come to the giant tree. After stopping, Lin Xiao looked around vigilantly, and after finding that there was nothing unusual, he signaled Qi Zheng to walk towards the giant tree.

However, Qi Zheng didn't pay attention to the giant tree, but bent down and began to remove some of the bulging debris at the root of the tree. At this time, Lin Xiao was more and more cautious and vigilant around him, which couldn't help but make everyone puzzled and nervous at the same time.

With Qi Zheng's movements, the bulging broken earth was pushed aside, and after a while, a fist-sized red ball gradually appeared in everyone's sight, and at the same time, the special fragrance just now began to become more and more intense. It turned out that it was not the tree that gave off the fragrance, but the red ball at the base of the tree.

Qi Zheng continued to carefully stir up the broken soil, and the red ball gradually revealed its true face, which turned out to be a fist-sized blood-red mushroom.

"Earth Blood Mushroom!" Chen Yu exclaimed in a low voice.

Hearing this, Li Ding immediately remembered that he had seen a record about the blood mushroom in a pharmacopoeia, which called this kind of thing a spiritual object, which seemed to refer to the spiritual source of the earth, but the name was different. The pharmacopoeia records that this kind of spiritual creature has the effect of reviving ordinary people, and if the practitioner takes it directly, it will be of great help to the realm improvement, and if it is refined into an elixir by an alchemist, the effect will be greatly improved.

"It's actually a blood mushroom!" Lin Xiao was also surprised, obviously he didn't expect that what was unearthed would be such a spiritual object.

The pharmacopoeia records that this blood mushroom is nourished by the spirit beast Earth Blood Snake with its own essence and blood, and when the blood mushroom breaks through the ground on its own, it will be swallowed to improve its own evolution.

Spirit beasts are divided into four stages: juvenile, mortal, spirit and demon body, and human cultivators, the more difficult it is to break through, and this blood mushroom is just like the pill taken by human cultivators, it has great benefits for improving strength, if the earth blood snake finds out that someone has stolen this thing from it, it is strange not to go crazy.

Qi Zheng, who was lying on the ground, did not hesitate, and with a look of excitement on his face, he wrapped his right hand with vitality and directly picked off the blood mushroom and threw it into a black cloth bag.

"Let's go. Seeing Qi Zheng's success, Lin Xiao also immediately beckoned everyone to go down the hillside, but at this moment, there was a sudden sound of rustling among the waist-high grass under the hillside, and when the grass shook, a slightly fishy breath rushed towards everyone.

"It's not good, it's the Earth Blood Snake, let's go. Lin Xiao jumped in front of everyone with a leap of his body, stretched out his hand to protect everyone and retreated towards the hillside, but his eyes were staring at the messy grass that quickly parted to both sides.

"......Sizzle" With a chilling snake roar, a jet-black snake head much larger than a basin suddenly emerged from the grass, and a pair of triangular snake eyes flashing with blood-red fluorescence looked around, first they found Lin Xiao and others, and then they stared in the direction where Qi Zheng dug out the blood mushroom.

"Sizzle...... Sizzle......"

The slender snake retracted violently a few times, obviously discovering that the blood mushroom was no longer there, and the pair of blood-red snake eyes actually flashed a cold light, and instantly rushed towards Lin Xiao. The thick snake body also swept out of the grass, and as it crawled rapidly, there was a rattling sound on the ground, and the bucket-like snake body was several feet long.

Suddenly, a long furrow was left on the soft ground. Li Ding immediately understood how the staggered small ditch he had seen before was formed, and when he saw this huge earth blood snake pounce over, he was so shocked that he retreated sharply.
