Chapter 52: The Herb Gathering Group and the Cave
Chapter 52: The Herb Gathering Group and the Cave
In the silence of the forest, a young man in plain clothes strolls leisurely on the path.
The young man held a thick book in his left hand, a small hoe in his right hand, and a small medicine basket behind him, in which some herbs were placed horizontally and vertically.
This young man is naturally Xu Le, since the evening before yesterday, he promised Xiao Ta's sudden nerves to go to the Demon Beast Mountain Range to find creation and find strange fires, Xu Le said goodbye to Concubine Ya and came to Qingshan Town non-stop according to Xiao Ta's instructions before his silence.
When he came to Qingshan Town, the first place Xu Le went to was the Wanyao Zhai where Xiao Yixian was located, but he was told that Xiao Yixian had already entered the Warcraft Mountain Range to collect medicine a few days ago, and he should come back tomorrow or so the day after tomorrow.
After leaving Wanyaozhai, Xu Le went to the bookstore in Qingshan Town and bought a book of herbal medicine in the store.
Although Xu Le is not an alchemist now, he has the heart of an alchemist, and taking a new step towards the path of an alchemist starts with identifying medicinal herbs.
In the evening, Xu Le spent some gold coins to learn the path of each medicine collection from an idle mercenary who had accompanied Xiao Yixian to collect medicine more than once, and made a simple sketch, and selected the most likely one.
Due to the fact that the small tower was not moving, it was not until the next morning that Xu Le officially set off and entered the Warcraft Mountain Range alone.
For Xiao Yixian, a female supporting character who occupies a certain space in the original work, Xu Le doesn't have any other thoughts at present, but is just a little curious, so naturally there will not be any nervous and anxious emotions along the way.
In the more than half a day since entering the Demon Beast Mountain Range, Xu Le has spent most of his time researching the Encyclopedia of Herbs, and by the way, he has made some herbs to study the characteristics.
The road of alchemist has a long way to go, and now Xu Le doesn't want to become a big fat man in one bite, now he just wants to study and study the herbs and usage of this otherworld, if he returns to the real world, Xu Le himself may not be able to use it, but he can use it for his parents, prolong their life, and get rid of the hidden diseases accumulated by years of hard work.
It is difficult to cultivate the Tao, and it is difficult to go to the sky.
Of course, Xu Le knows this, but no matter how difficult it is, he can't do it to the point where some of the protagonists of the novel are desperate for the sake of cultivation, and his parents always have a large part of his heart, and this will not change.
"Well, drunken dragon grass can be used to make drugs, which is harmless to the human body and can also help sleep. Wu Di compared the encyclopedia of herbs, compared a newly discovered herb, and then waved a small hoe, accurately dug out the whole plant without hurting a little rhizome, shook the soil on the root, and threw it into the small medicine basket behind him.
At this moment, just as Xu Le was looking at the herbs intently, directly above Xu Le's head, a snake-like demonic beast covered in ice hung upside down on a tree branch, spitting snake letters at Xu Le below.
'Whoosh'
The sound of breaking wind sounded, and the body of this first-order red ice snake suddenly straightened, as if turning into a sharp sword, and bit towards the defenseless Xu Le below.
However, just when the red ice snake's fangs were still the last meter away from Xu Le's body, under the sunlight, a brilliant blood-colored streamer flashed, and in the blink of an eye, it pierced the red ice snake's head, twisting its head to a pulp, and blood flowed all over the ground along with brain plasma and venom.
A mere first-order demonic beast sneaked up on the current Xu Le, and the probability of its success was even smaller than the probability of a meteorite falling from the sky and smashing a Dou Emperor to death.
Regardless of Xu Le's soul power that had skyrocketed to around the level of a one-star Dou King after being nourished by the Seven Illusion Green Spirits, Xu Le's realm cultivation alone was not something that a small first-order snake could compete.
Xu Le seemed to be reading intently, but his soul perception had always shrouded a radius of about 100 meters, and it could be said that within this range, every move of any living creature could not escape Xu Le's perception.
With his soul power, he controlled the blood glass to drill in the brain of the red ice snake for a long time, and finally the blood glass flew out of the large open snake's mouth, and the needle body was still unstained, only the blood color became a little deeper.
"There is no magic core, this should be the twentieth time, the probability of five or five openings, twenty times in a row, it seems that my hands are a little black today, it must be possessed by a non-chieftain, you have to be careful in everything." Xu Le muttered to himself in a low voice.
Xu Le didn't care much about the first-order demon core, after all, he was also a big boss with deep pockets now. Regardless of the supply of resources that the Mitre family opened to him, just by eradicating the Mo family, the income from dividing the Mo family's treasure house is that Xu Le's assets now exceed those of the Xiao family in Utan City.
At the beginning, the treasure house of the Mo family, Xu Le, the Mitre family and the Nalan family were divided by three parties, and finally four or three points, Xu Le accounted for four tenths, with the accumulation of the Mo family in Yancheng for many years, forty percent of its treasure trove is definitely a large amount, not to mention gold coins, and all kinds of rare herbs and treasures are also countless.
This time when he went out, Xu Le naturally couldn't bring all his belongings with him, he only had a high-level ring around him, and there were about hundreds of thousands of gold coins and some rare herbs, defensive weapons and other things that Xu Le might use, and the rest of the large part of the treasures were temporarily stored in the Mitre family and handed over to Concubine Ya for safekeeping.
After solving the twentieth first-order demonic beast, Xu Le continued to move forward, and after about half an hour, Xu Le suddenly looked abrupt, and in an instant, he put the hoe, the herb encyclopedia, and the small medicine basket behind him into the ring, and the three blood glasses around him were wrapped around Xu Le's body.
The forest fell into a deathly silence, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood and the decay of some animal.
Xu Le already knew what the smell of rot was, it was people, mercenaries one after another to be exact.
After walking a hundred meters, Xu Le saw half of the body of the first mercenary, which had disappeared from the waist down, and there were two thigh bones left not far away, and there were traces of demonic beast bites on them.
In the next hundred meters of distance, Xu Le saw the corpses of more than thirty mercenaries one after another, all of them were unrecognizable, and they were gnawed by the Demon Beast.
Xu Le's expression was solemn, and he expanded his soul perception to the maximum, and he did not find the figure of the little medicine fairy.
This means that the little medicine fairy and the remaining mercenaries have escaped, or they have been devoured by the demonic beast entirely, and there are no bones left, of course, Xu Le prefers the former.
"This ...... Could it be that he encountered a fourth-order demonic beast, he was too unlucky. Xu Le looked at the footprints that were almost half the size of an adult that his soul power perceived, and couldn't help but speak.
For this tragedy that had happened, Xu Le was powerless to return to the sky, and after folding his hands and reciting some of the transcendent scriptures he had learned before, he continued to move forward, looking for the traces of the little medicine fairy.
Xu Le was not too worried about the owner of this huge footprint, as long as the other party had weaknesses that could not be taken into account, such as butt doors or eyes, even if it was a fifth-order demonic beast, Xu Le was confident that he would take it down.
Of course, the best case is to die through the brain, so that it will die a decent death, and Xu Le will also play handsome, and there will be no emotions in the diaphragm.
After more than a quarter of an hour or so, Xu Le suddenly sighed, walked out of the dense forest in three or two steps, and suddenly a piece of light suddenly opened up in front of him, what appeared in front of Xu Le was a somewhat steep cliff, under the cliff, covered with lush green forests, quite beautiful.
Looking at this scene, Xu Le couldn't help but think of the cave in the cliff of the hidden domain that Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian would explore together in the future, and the cave was the tomb of a strong man.
In the burial place of that strong man, there were many treasures hidden, the most valuable of which was the remnant of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire, followed by the Xuan-level high-level flying fighting technique Purple Cloud Wing and a dry of precious medicinal materials including the Ice Spirit Flame Grass.
"The little medicine fairy can't accidentally fall off the cliff and then discover this cave, right?" Xu Le guessed.
Whether it was to find the little medicine immortal, or for the remnants of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire and the Purple Cloud Wing, it was necessary for Xu Le to go down.
'Huh'
Before finding the right direction and preparing to jump, Xu Le suddenly turned around, and his soul perception was raised to the limit in an instant, and he fanned forward to explore.
"Maybe it's my delusion. Xu Le let out a low groan, turned around and jumped off the cliff, grabbed the vine and swung it gently, and finally landed accurately at the entrance of the cave.
Just when Xu Le entered the cave to explore, on an ordinary small tree above the cliff, a soybean-sized spider appeared, if the natives of the Douqi Continent saw this little spider, they would definitely be shocked to the point of being beyond measure, because this is not a living thing, nor a puppet, but a mechanical spider, which does not belong to this world.
This small mechanical spider was so extraordinary that even Xu Le's soul perception was deceived from the past and could not be discovered.
"You came as I expected. ”
On a small mountain peak dozens of miles away from the cliff, a humanoid monster with skin like a molten white candle closed its eyes, a hideous sneer on the corner of its mouth, and on his back, a pair of purple wings covered with cloud patterns stretched out, carrying his body suspended in the air.
And in the sky more than twenty meters away from the humanoid monster, a girl with a pretty face and a slender waist sat sideways on the broad back of a blue eagle, bowing her head slightly, her expression was dark, and she didn't say a word.
......
