Early the next morning.

Before dawn, Lu Zheng stood up with a carp, got up and washed up with a hundred times more energy, and then practiced the knife technique in the yard.

Since he recovered from his injury, the cultivation of the "Whale Swallowing Breathing Method" has been increasing day by day, his spirit has become more and more full and strong, and his inner breath has become stronger and stronger, and he seems to have endless energy every day.

And after making a move with a master like Song Yuan the day before yesterday, "Yin Wind Fury Flame Knife" has also improved a few points, and the use of moves has become more and more sophisticated, approaching the point of perfection.

There's no way, it's so unreasonable.

After a simple warm-up and breakfast, he brought a long knife and the dry food and water bags he had prepared, and came directly to Song Yuan's door.

"It's coming. ”

After knocking on the door and waiting for a while, the courtyard door creaked open, and Song Yuan, who was heavily armed with a knife and bow on his back, walked out.

He threw a small leather bag in his hand to Lu Zheng: "This is filled with flint, lime powder, and some common antidote herbs, you put it away." ”

"Thank you, Brother Song. ”

Lu Zheng thanked him and put the leather bag away closely.

"Let's go. ”

Song Yuan didn't say much, and immediately set off with Lu Zheng, passing through dilapidated houses and paths, and out of the walled city.

Beyond the walled city, there are large fields planted with wheat, cotton, potatoes and other crops, and before dawn you can already see sporadic farmers appearing in the fields, carrying water and taking care of the fields.

Whether it was Song Yuan or Lu Zheng, the two of them had a fast journey, and they walked silently all the way through miles, through the range of fields, and then into the endless wilderness.

In the wilderness, the wind whined, the people were extinct, and the sand and gravel were exposed. Not too far ahead, the shadows of the vast mountains sit, connected like a huge dragon prostrate and sleeping on the earth.

That mountain shadow is naturally the purpose of their trip, the Bailong Mountain Range.

"Unless there are special circumstances, you can't stay overnight in the mountains, and you have to come back before dark, whether you have a harvest or not. ”

On the way forward, you can occasionally see scattered white bones that I don't know if they are humans or beasts. Song Yuan walked in front and explained lightly:

"And on the way back, there will also be jackals and beasts, and if you are not careful, you may become a pile of bones on the side of the road. ”

Lu Zheng silently wrote it down, and asked as he walked, "What about xenos, is this thing common in the mountains?"

"Of course, that kind of vicious thing is not common, otherwise no one would choose to go into the mountains. ”

Song Yuan said:

"Bailong Mountain is so big, it is only a small probability event to meet different species, this kind of thing has obvious body size and activity traces, as long as people who enter the mountain always pay attention to the traces and smells of the surrounding environment, they can generally avoid danger. Of course, if you really encounter this kind of thing head-on, then you can only ask for more blessings. ”

Lu Zheng asked curiously, "Then have you encountered it?"

"I've been begging for life in the mountains for five years, how can I not meet it?"

Song Yuan smiled:

"I've even fought this weird thing in the mountains, and I narrowly escaped. Not to mention the viciousness of this thing, the blood of the body is also polluted, even if it can kill it, it is useless except for the bones that can be made into weapons. Therefore, if you find traces of xenos, it is better to hide as far as you can. ”

So that's it......

Lu Zheng nodded thoughtfully.

In this way, in the casual chatting of having a match and not having a match, the morning light illuminated the earth, and Lu Zheng and Song Yuan rushed over more than 20 miles, and finally came to the foot of the White Dragon Mountain Range, which was as undulating as a giant dragon.

The mountains and forests have grown from sparse to dense, covering one mountain after another, and under the lush greenery, the mountains and forests that stretch out of sight are silent, as if they have fallen into a deep sleep.

In the mountains and forests, the branches and leaves are dense, the terrain is rugged, cold and damp, and not long after entering the mountains and forests, Lu Zheng felt that his vision suddenly darkened, as if from day to evening.

"Remember, the mountains are dense and the light is blocked. If you go into the mountains on a cloudy day, you will find that the further you go in, the darker it will become, and if you go deeper, you may not be able to come out again. ”

At this moment, Song Yuan had already pulled out the mountain knife on his waist:

"Things in the mountains can change quickly, and no matter where you start from, you have to mark your way. Also, from now on, you have to be absolutely vigilant, not only for jackals, beasts, or xenos, but also for traps that may be left by other hunters in the woods. ”

I have to say that Song Yuan, an old and spicy hunter, has been of great help, and Lu Zheng is as good as a stream, so he also pulled out his knife, and while following behind Song Yuan, he vigilantly watched the surroundings.

"The mountains on the periphery of the mountain forest have been hollowed out for so many years, and whether it is hunting or collecting medicine, at least you have to climb over this mountain to get something. ”

"Of course, there are some shrubs, wild fruits, mushrooms and other things around here, and occasionally you can find some more common herbs, which you can also collect. ”

Song Yuan opened the way in the mountains and forests without hurry, telling his experience. Lu Zheng, who followed behind, also paid more careful attention to the trees he passed through and distinguished.

Yesterday, he spent a whole day reciting the herbs that Granny Yao gave him was a ripe melon, so that when he searched for it, he really found a few artemisia annua grass plants that could stop bleeding and pain under some shrubs.

Lu Zheng quickly went to pick the artemisia grass, and the herbs with dew fell into his hands, and a message flashed in his sight:

【Artemisia annua (1 year)】

Quality: Normal

Description: Common herbal medicine, mashed and applied to the wound has a little hemostatic effect.

"Sure enough...... This herb can also be fortified. ”

Without delay, he quickly followed Song Yuan, and Lu Zheng's heart moved slightly:

"If you can dig up herbs that replenish qi and blood, strengthen ...... directly"

There is nothing in this world to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and whether martial arts are practiced well depends on talent and hard work, and the other half depends on eating.

Poor people who can't get enough to eat, rich people who often have meat to eat, or big landowners who are constantly taking supplements like Shi Longwu, the owner of the village, have a world of differences in the efficiency of cultivating martial arts, and they can't be compared at all, which is why Lu Zheng took the risk to go into the mountains to find resources.

For him, hunting is secondary, and the more important thing is to find qi and blood medicinal materials that can be used for cultivation in this vast mountain forest.

Because according to the records in the "Baicao Lu" of the medicine mother-in-law, there are a variety of medicinal materials that grow in the mountains and forests to replenish qi and blood, and are very beneficial to the practice of martial arts, among which there are even rare and valuable qi and blood medicinal materials such as wild ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, and Polygonum multiflorum......

Thinking of this, Lu Zheng clenched the long knife in his hand, and his steps became a little brisker.
