Chapter 314, Throbbing
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zhu Xiao couldn't believe that there would be such a place in this barren desert. In the forest, medicinal herbs can be found everywhere. Although many medicinal herbs are very common, they are also very rare in such places.
Zhu Xiao's surprise made Wu Cong very complacent, and he introduced to Zhu Xiao with a smile: "Brother Chixiao, you are here to help people find medicinal materials, presumably you don't know much about medicinal materials. Every alchemist has almost strict requirements for each medicinal material, and they usually require the year of the medicinal material, the medicinal power, and so on. Brother Chixiao, if you have a fancy for any medicinal herbs, don't be busy picking them first. ”
Zhu Xiao nodded, this is also because Zhu Xiao helped them, if it weren't for that, I am afraid that Zhu Xiao would face all kinds of battles now.
Searching for medicinal herbs is a very time-consuming process, and finding a rare medicinal herb in the forest is undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack for every herb picker. For cultivators, finding medicinal herbs will become relatively simple.
When a medicinal herb reaches a certain age, it will emit some pure energy fluctuations. In addition to this, it will also absorb the aura from between heaven and earth to replenish itself all the time. Cultivators are very sensitive to aura, so after their strength reaches a certain level, they can use the method of detecting aura to detect medicinal materials. However, the speed at which the medicinal herbs absorb the aura is naturally not too fast, which also requires the strength to reach a certain level. Zhu Xiaonai is a five-star martial artist, and at the same time, he is also an alchemist, and he is more sensitive to the fluctuations of aura than ordinary martial arts realm people, but it is also difficult to detect the aura absorbed by medicinal materials.
For an alchemist, the powerful soul power can also be used to find medicinal materials. With the power of your soul, you have amazing eyesight and can quickly see an area. This is indeed much faster, but using soul power for a long time can make people extremely sleepy and even faint. Although there are also alchemists who will use soul power to find medicinal materials, this is only a minority after all.
Zhu Xiao didn't come here for medicinal herbs, and Zhu Xiao wouldn't have looked so carefully. In the snake clan, Zhu Xiao had to be cautious at every moment, otherwise, one wrong step would be doomed.
This forest with medicinal herbs is not very large, and it took almost an hour for Zhu Xiao to walk it all over. The forest is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with mountains on three sides except the southeast side. Zhu Xiao looked at it and found that the three mountains were not very tall, but they also formed a barrier to isolate this forest. Two of the three mountains have a large number on them, but they are relatively few, and the middle one is indeed very rich in plants. Zhu Xiao took a closer look and found that there was a cave at the foot of the mountain in the middle, and water flowed out of the cave.
"It's no wonder that so many medicinal herbs can grow here, and it seems to have a lot to do with this river. Zhu Xiao probed for a long time and walked towards the river.
However, before Zhu Xiao could get close to the cave, two vicious-looking snake guards suddenly appeared and blocked Zhu Xiao's way, saying that he could not move forward any further. Just when Zhu Xiao was surprised, Wu Cong ran over and pulled Zhu Xiao aside.
"What's going on, Leader of the Darkbush, why don't you let me get close to that cave?"
Wu Cong smiled, and then explained to Zhu Xiao: "Chixiao, this mountain is the forbidden land of our snake people, don't say it's you, even our Wufeng King has never been near that place." I heard that this cave leads to the other side of the mountain, where there is a waterhole. This waterhole is where Queen Artis usually cultivates, and no one is allowed to go to that place except for the Serpent Queen. ”
"Yes, this is it!" Zhu Xiao suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and said with a smile: "Leader of the Wucong, Queen Yattis is cultivating inside, why aren't there many snake guards outside? ”
"Hahaha!" Wu Cong suddenly pointed at Zhu Xiao and laughed, and after a while, he gradually stopped smiling and said, "Chixiao, Queen Yatis is the most powerful existence of our snake people, what snake guard does she need to protect." The two vicious-looking serpent guards were two of Queen Artis' most loyal men, and once Queen Artis entered to cultivate, they would guard the cave outside, and once Queen Artis left the cave, they would follow Queen Artis without leaving her. Strangely enough, they weren't there to protect Queen Artis. ”
Zhu Xiao secretly released a soul power and began to probe the two vicious snake guards, the strength of these two snake guards was not very strong, but they were just ordinary snake people who had just entered the realm of martial arts. However, Zhu Xiao was surprised to find that these two snake people did not look like they were alive, and there was no trace of life in their bodies.
"The snake people must have a lot of weird martial arts, although I don't know what's going on, but these two snake guards don't seem to be so simple existence. Now I'm on the territory of the snake people, and although I am one step closer to that place, now is the most dangerous time. ”
Zhu Xiao exhaled a heavy breath and said with a smile: "Leader of the Wu Cong, the strength of these two snake guards is not very strong, if someone sneaks over the mountain, the two of them will not be able to detect it!"
Wu Cong shook his head with a smile and said, "Chixiao, you think about this mountain too simply. Legend has it that behind the mountain is a cliff, and that waterhole is in the middle of the cliff. Of course, the ordinary cliffs and cliffs don't cause any trouble to us cultivators, it's just that the temperature over there is unusually high. Even the strong martial artists can only compete with that kind of high temperature, but they can't last long. And once you get close to that waterhole, no one can fly. Flames will emerge from the pool, and once you fly over it, you will be incinerated into nothingness by the flames. ”
"This is it, although Wu Cong doesn't know a lot, but as long as some of his rumors are true, then there is a great possibility that there is a heavenly fire here. ”
Zhu Xiao's heart began to beat "bang, bang", and Zhu Xiao didn't dare to breathe too much, otherwise he was afraid that his heart would jump out directly. Because he was too excited, Zhu Xiao's fists were clenched, and his body couldn't help but start to tremble.
Wu Cong noticed Zhu Xiao's strange appearance, and immediately laughed and said, "Chixiao, you won't be scared, right? This place is indeed a little weird, but as long as you don't get close, there is no problem." I've been here for more than 40 years, don't I live well!"
Zhu Xiao couldn't help but have a black line on his face, Wu Cong was really able to associate it. However, as long as he can be sure that there is really a heavenly fire here, Zhu Xiao will not care so much.
"I didn't expect that there would be such a magical place between heaven and earth, but my strength is low, otherwise I would have to go in and find out. ”
Wu Cong laughed again, and after a while, he said slowly: "Chixiao, I don't think you should think about it." This place is a forbidden place for our snake people, and if you force your way in, you will be the enemy of our entire snake people. Don't think that there will be frequent friction between the five races of our snake people, and when we meet each other, we will fight to the death. Once this kind of thing happens, the five leaders will rush over as soon as possible, and the strong people in the five races will also rush over. It is also because in the past few years, our snake people have recuperated, if we start a war against Mocheng, even Mocheng will not be able to resist our attack. ”
Wu Cong's words Zhu Xiao didn't dare to agree, there are not many cultivators among the snake people, although the strength of Yatis is strong, but the Mocheng Han family is not an ordinary person, there are many strong people. Coupled with the inextricable relationship between the Han family in Mocheng and Nanliemen, the snake human clan is even less of the Han family's opponent.
However, Zhu Xiao would not argue with Wu Cong about this, but said with a smile: "There are three major forces in the desert, and I think the strength of the three major forces should be between the two forces, and no one dares to rashly attack other forces." Once the two forces join each other, the other force will have to reap the benefits of the fisherman. ”
Wu Cong was speechless by Zhu Xiao, so he had to move on to other topics and asked Zhu Xiao: "Chixiao, you have been looking for so long, and I haven't seen you find any medicinal materials, is it too many medicinal materials, are you dazzled?"
Zhu Xiao smiled and said, "That's not it, I wanted to find a medicinal herb that could warm the power of the soul, but I didn't find it." ”
"That kind of medicinal herb is very rare, let me think about whether there is one around here!"
At this moment, the flames in Zhu Xiao's body suddenly erupted into a burst of heat, and then, Zhu Xiao was surprised to find that the flames in his body began to shrink into the Yuan Qi Cyclone.
Just when Zhu Xiao was shocked by the changes in his body, Zhu Xiao suddenly keenly felt that the aura around him suddenly fluctuated a lot. Zhu Xiao probed his soul power towards the mountain, until the end, Zhu Xiao's soul power almost detected a distance of dozens of zhang. The closer you get to the side of the mountain, the faster the flow of the aura, and the most active of them is the fire attribute aura.
Zhu Xiao's fists were clenched tightly, and his heartbeat accelerated again, "This kind of throbbing can't be wrong, there is indeed a heavenly fire here!"
