Chapter Seventy-Two: Harvesting Ganoderma lucidum
Bian Yao and the three of them hurried for two days, turning around more than a dozen large and small mountains.
On this morning, after turning a few mountain mouths, a black ring volcano with smoke everywhere came into their eyes from afar.
It is worth mentioning that this low, smoky volcano is surrounded by four dormant volcanoes that are much higher than itself. In addition, the surface of the four volcanoes is not black magma, but red and yellow rocks.
"It must have been it when I saw it that night, right?" said the girl as she paused, blinking her dark eyes.
Bian Yao took a few steps forward, raised his eyes and looked left and right in front of him, but he didn't see a trace of green in his field of vision, and his eyes were a scene of no life, which looked lifeless.
The trio watched from afar, but did not stop for long, and they walked cautiously along the red and black rock trenches towards the volcano, where there were crumbling lava rubbles everywhere.
Half an hour later, less than a mile from the low volcano, they had to stop again.
A long lava ditch blocked the way, and inside the ditch, the dark black lava was emitting faint smoke, and the heat escaping from it could be felt half a foot away, and there was a pungent smell of sulfur in the air.
"Turn around! Go around to the west and see. The girl waved her sleeves and turned to say.
"Is this the black thing that spewed out that night?" Bian Yao frowned, very curious.
The girl let out an "um" and said as she walked, "Look at the way this volcano looks, this volcano must be very active, maybe it will erupt several miles a year!"
The low volcano is covered in black magma. Each eruption of a volcano, when new magma flows down, tends to cover the old magma that has solidified in the past, but there are always places that are spared from this transport. And those missing old magma layers, if they are formed no more than half a year old, it is very likely to grow purple fire lingzhi.
The three of them turned around at the foot of the volcano for most of the time, and they also paid attention to the road to observe, but they did not see the purple fire Lingzhi mentioned by the girl, but encountered a lot of magma that had not yet completely cooled.
The magma flows mainly from the crater, creating curved lava flows on the mountain, above which long plumes of smoke are constantly rising.
Finally they came to the west side of the volcanic mountain, but they were surprised to find that there was a sunken place halfway up the steep mountainside, and there was no smoke coming out of it, which seemed to be a little unusual.
"Go up and have a look!" the girl said with a hint of excitement, "it doesn't seem to be covered by the new eruption of magma, maybe something can be discovered." ”
The hill was so steep that they had to keep jumping and climbing, slowly approaching the depression. It took half a pillar of incense to reach the outer edge of the sunken ground and poke their heads into the sunken ground.
It turned out to be a large round pit with a diameter of about 20 zhang, the depth was close to five zhang, and the pit wall was mainly grayish-yellow, but there were more than a dozen black stripes on the east side, which were obviously traces left by the flowing old magma. As for the surface of the pit, it is covered with a layer of black material, which can be distinguished as solidified magma.
However, what surprised them the most was that in the middle of the pit, there were two strange beasts with fiery red fur, very strong, with a shape like a tiger and a wolf, and they were lying there quietly, as if they were asleep, and they did not move.
"It's a flame wolf! Get down!" the girl shouted in surprise, and hurriedly raised her hand to signal the two people next to her to lower their bodies, the expression on their faces seemed to be worried and happy.
"Have you ever seen that thing?" Bian Yao leaned down and glanced into the pit a few more times.
"Someone told me! Do you think I'm going to rush here blindly because I don't know anything?" the girl stared at the two fiery red figures, her eyes blazing as fire. After a moment of silence, he whispered, "The Flame Wolf is one of the most difficult beasts to deal with in the Thousand Lian Volcanic Group. But that fiery red hair, coupled with that beautiful big tail, shook like a dancing flame, but it was also very beautiful!"
Hearing the girl's last words, Bian Yao's eyes rolled. The heart says that in your eyes, as long as it is red, it looks good!
The black-clothed young man on the right bent down and watched for a few moments, and suddenly said, "There is something next to it, it is purple." ”
"What, where?" the girl turned her head sharply to look at her brother.
"On the east side of the head of the flame wolf on the left. ”
Although it is condescending, because of the distance and the position of the three people, the position of the flame wolf on the other side close to the body is blocked by its shape, if there are any small objects, you can't find it if you don't pay attention.
After the girl and Bian Yao heard this, they quietly moved their positions and looked towards the location that the young man said. Sure enough, the two also found what the boy said, a purple lingzhi that looked like a flame!
Although the flame wolf does not eat Lingzhi, it will guard it as a treasure, and will destroy Lingzhi if it encounters a strong enemy. I've got to figure out a way. The girl resisted her excitement and rolled her eyes.
"You're so powerful, just go down and kill them!" Bian Yao said loudly.
The girl gave him a roll of the eyes, "You think the flame wolf is so easy to kill! It is extremely fast, very agile, and its claws are as sharp as a sword. If it is a fight, even the later dream maniac will not take any advantage. Unless it's the Dream King, it's hard to kill them!"
"I'm going to lure them away. The black-clothed young man said in a light tone.
"That's good, but the wolf is smart! you can only lead one head, and not too far. But don't try to kill it, just lead it to the neighborhood and entangle it, if it goes beyond a certain distance, it will become suspicious and turn back. As the girl spoke, she turned her head to look at Bian Yao on the left, "You go and lead the other end away and create a chance for me." ”
"You said that the flame wolf is so powerful, what's the use of me going down, I can't run a few steps and I guess I'll die!" Bian Yao hurriedly shook his head and refused.
"I'm asking you to use the dream clone, just with your little ability, going down the body doesn't mean that you will die in vain! You can lure the remaining flame wolf away from the Purple Fire Lingzhi, it doesn't need to be too far, as long as you can get me a few breaths. The girl said with a solemn face.
"That's no problem!" Bian Yao suddenly woke up and gladly accepted the task. Then the three of them muttered a few more words, and then dispersed around the edge of the pit. I ran away from the big pit, found a relatively flat place, and sat down.
After a few breaths, the black-clothed boy jumped into the pit. The moment he landed, the two lying flame wolves suddenly stood upright, staring at him with blood-red eyes, grinning at the corners of their mouths to reveal sharp and sharp fangs.
The young man had no fear on his face, and slowly approached the flame wolf, and at the same time raised his right hand with a cold face, and when he was less than four feet away from the flame wolf, his right hand was thrown forward abruptly.
A white sword qi suddenly shot out from his fingers, instantly piercing into the body of the larger flame wolf. At the same time, a painful roar suddenly sounded!
The wounded flame wolf shook a few times and let out a low roar, followed by another flame wolf, its right paw clawing at the hard rock face.
"Whew~!" The injured flame wolf let out a strange low roar, and its body suddenly jumped forward, rushing towards the black-clothed young man, as fast as the wind! In the blink of an eye, it was at least close to the front, and the sharp front claws slashed diagonally past the young man's chest.
The pitch-black pupils suddenly contracted, and the young man's body flashed sharply to the right, which was able to dodge a wolf claw that swung at him! A look of shock appeared on his face, as if he had never expected that the injured flame wolf would be able to launch such a swift attack! In terms of explosiveness and speed alone, this flame wolf that had been subjected to a sword aura was almost not inferior to himself!
The young man in black thought as soon as he thought about it, turned around, and rushed towards the pit wall. The wounded flame wolf was clearly enraged by him, and did not hesitate to pull out his legs and chase after him.
The boy leaped and stepped on the wall rock with one foot, and after several consecutive steps, he escaped from the pit in a few breaths. The flame wolf followed closely, and four sharp claws as sharp as blades landed on the rock wall, and after a few scurries, they suddenly leaped and landed steadily on the edge of the pit.
In order not to make the flame wolf suspicious, in the face of its swift and lightning-like close attacks, the black-clothed young man kept dodging, occasionally feigning to attack once, slowly luring it out of the pit.
"Go down!" the girl waved her hand at Bian Yao, who was not far away, and made a gesture.
A hint of determination flashed in Bian Yao's eyes, and after a little hesitation, he jumped into the pit from the edge of the other side of the pit, and walked towards the remaining flame wolf, with a complex expression on his face that seemed to cry and laugh.
Since he was able to use the dream clone, his doppelganger has not "died" once. But this time, judging from the posture of the sword cultivator boy and the injured flame wolf just now, with his own speed, he would definitely not be able to walk a few times under the sharp claws of the flame wolf!
Before Bian Yao's figure landed, the flame wolf saw him, his blood-red eyes revealing a strong sense of vigilance! As Bian Yao approached, the flame wolf slowly lowered his body, revealing his miserable white fangs, and made an attacking posture.
The distance is gradually getting closer, five, four, and three......
"Whoosh~!" A red spirit fruit was thrown out of Bian Yao's hand, flew towards the flame wolf's head, and hit its forehead impartially.
At that moment, Bian Yao saw a brief pause in the eyes of the flame wolf, and it seemed to be confused by Bian Yao's actions.
"Roar~!" The flame wolf suddenly let out a roar similar to that of a tiger, and before the angry voice fell, his body suddenly jumped up, and suddenly pounced on the edge of the front, blocking his waist is a claw!
Bian Yao slammed his right foot into the rock face, his body flashed to the left, and five sharp claws swept past his right arm. He was secretly glad that he had successfully avoided the first attack of the flame wolf. Immediately after, he threw out another spirit fruit with his hand, and smashed it into the flame wolf's face accurately.
Ever since following the Night Corpse, Bian Yao has not been in contact with such ferocious and arrogant beasts. All beasts with slightly stronger strength are self-righteous fools, and when they are weak, their incommensurate self-esteem will be clearly exposed! Bian Yao knows that the best way to deal with such arrogant creatures is to provoke them first, and then use their hot minds to create a situation in their favor.
The flame wolf was originally a fierce beast that was unruly and had a bit of a king's spirit. In the Qianlian volcanic group, most of the animals are respectful when they encounter them, or they run away. And now the weak boy in front of him, who was a little thin, dared to tease himself like this, which completely annoyed him.
Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Bian Yao turned around and decided to slip away. However, as soon as he turned around, the tall substitute of the flame wolf flashed in, and with a wave of his right paw, he left five deep cracks behind him!
Although Bian Yao was suddenly shocked, although he didn't feel any pain, for a moment, his body felt as if it was about to fall apart. He secretly said "not good", forcibly stabilized his mind, bowed diagonally forward, and fled to the edge of the pit in a zigzag shape. The flame wolf naturally wouldn't let him go easily, and chased after him.
In the blink of an eye, Bian Yao had already escaped seven or eight feet away. When he was about to reach the pit wall, the flame wolf suddenly took a leap and swept towards his waist with a wave of his claws!
"Whew~" With a loud mouth, the flame wolf opened his mouth and bit the back of Bian Yao's neck fiercely.
"Finally dead!" Bian Yao thought at the moment when his body collapsed and dissipated.
On the other side, at the moment when Bian Yao attracted the attention of the flame wolf, the girl quietly moved to the back of the flame wolf, and jumped into the pit, her body was as light as a flying swallow, and she did not make any movement when she landed. When the flame wolf chased after Bian Yao, the girl crept and sneaked closer, quietly approaching the purple fire lingzhi, silently.
When Bian Yao's body was bitten by the flame wolf and dissipated, the girl suddenly raised the red sword in her hand and slashed hard at the black rock, digging out the purple fire lingzhi and its roots hidden in the rock formation.
The flame wolf was bewildered by the sudden dissipation of Bian Yao, when he suddenly heard a sound behind him and hurriedly looked back. When he saw the girl putting the purple fire lingzhi into a wooden box, the flame wolf let out a wild roar, and his fluffy red tail flicked into the sky, and he flew towards her.
"Oops~! Big Red is angry!" The girl raised her wrist slightly, put the wooden box into the space bag, and looked at the flame wolf and said with a grin.
Before the laughter was extinguished, the girl twisted and shot backwards. When he was still three feet away from the pit wall, his feet slammed into the ground, and his body rose into the air, easily escaping from the pit.
"Run!" shouted the girl, and hurried to the foot of the mountain.
Not far away, the black-clothed young man who was entangled with the flame wolf jumped out and shot down the mountain without hesitation.
Looking at Bian Yao again, he had already run down the mountain before the sister and brother, and was desperately running away with his head buried. According to the original plan of the three of them, once his mission was completed, he would immediately flee down the mountain.
When the three of them ran to the foot of the mountain, they looked back at the mountainside, and they couldn't help but show a strange look in their eyes. Instead of chasing after them, the two flame wolves didn't even look at them, just stood still.
Soon, the two flame wolves each let out a strange roar, quickly converged in one place, and galloped towards the foot of the mountain on the other side without looking back.
"They look strange!" the girl began.
"Whatever! It's good that you don't chase it!" Bian Yao's hanging heart finally fell, and he looked at the flame wolves with joy on his face, until their figures disappeared from sight.
Seeing the red figure of the flame wolf disappearing, the girl's eyes showed a trace of reluctance. But when I think that I have successfully picked what I want on this trip, I can't help but get excited again.
"Let's go!" the girl grinned, and shouted to the two beside her.
At this moment, a black figure suddenly appeared in the far sky, shooting straight towards the place where the three of them were.
