Volume III Chapter 101
A blood-red light flashed in Chen Fan's eyes, and he could no longer find any trace of existence.
What appeared in front of Chen Fan's eyes was the scene of Yu Qing standing in front of the corpse of the female blood wolf in disbelief, it seemed that he had not been in the "Beast Soul Space" for a long time just now.
Suddenly, Chen Fan's heart moved, his eyes were fixed on the corpse of the she-blood wolf, just now, he felt two faint souls in the corpse of the she-blood wolf, these two souls were like candles in the wind, they would be extinguished at any time.
This is Chen Fan's newly acquired ability, which can help Chen Fan perceive the soul of the beast clan within a certain range, and judge its state by the strength of this soul.
In the past, when Chen Fan used super sensibility, he could only sense the existence of humans within the scope of the aura, while the perception range of fierce beasts and alien beasts was only about ten meters, but now, with this ability, while perceiving the existence of human beings, he can also perceive the existence of fierce beasts and alien beasts, and the sensing range is the same as the range of action of the aura.
After a little contemplation, Chen Fan came to Yu Ruoxi's side and whispered a few words in his ear. Yu Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, glanced at Chen Fan in surprise, but did not speak, just nodded slightly, and walked towards Yu Qing.
Seeing Yu Ruoxi coming, Yu Qing was also stunned for a moment, but he was not lazy, so he had to suppress the depression in his heart and greet Yu Ruoxi politely. Yu Ruoxi also said a few polite words, and then whispered her intentions.
It turned out that Yu Ruoxi was entrusted by Chen Fan to buy blood wolves from Yu Qing, these two blood wolves were killed by Yu Qing and others, and they were Yu Qing's trophies, although now there is no Neidan, and there are no young wolves, but the corpse is still there, and the corpse of the blood wolf is still worth a lot of money. If you want to get the ownership of these two blood wolves, you need to negotiate with Yu Qing to buy them.
Although if he didn't want to buy it and wanted to rob it, Chen Fan also had the ability to do it, but he didn't want to provoke a powerful enemy because of these trivial things, the Yuanye Sect was one of the top ten sects in the Eastern Empire, and if he got into trouble, he would be in constant trouble. There are endless troubles, and the money to buy the blood wolf should not be a lot, he got a lot of money in the Falling Mountain Range, which should be enough to deal with.
Although it felt a little strange, since the Nedan was gone, and the young wolf was gone, there was only the corpse left, even if the blood wolf was left behind, and it was transported out by itself. It still has to be sold, it can be sold here, it doesn't have to be shipped out without spending manpower, and it can be sold to the Yu family for a face, so why not do it? So, the two quickly got married, and after paying the money and closing the deal, Yu Ruoxi walked back.
came to Chen Fan. Yu Ruoxi smiled and said, "Fortunately, you can go and get it now." ”
"Thank you, how much silver taels did you spend?" Chen Fan was satisfied with this. It's hard to get a blood wolf without blood, that's the best outcome, and it's worth the money.
"And what else can I say Yinliang, without your help, I wouldn't even have my life, this Yinliang. It's not worth your help in case. Yu Ruoxi waved her hand and rejected Chen Fan's intention to give him silver taels.
Seeing that Chen Fan still wanted to speak, Yu Ruoxi spoke first and said, "If you say it, you look down on me, you help me come here and give me a chance to obtain medicinal herbs." I haven't even had a chance to repay you yet, and now there's an opportunity for me to help you, I don't know how happy I am, so give me this opportunity. ”
Since Yu Ruoxi had already reached this point, it would be embarrassing for him to continue talking, so Chen Fan nodded and stopped talking about repaying the money.
"I'll leave for a while and come back soon, don't be anxious. Chen Fan explained to Chen Hong to prevent her from worrying about his departure.
"Well, come back soon. Chen Hong nodded and agreed.
Chen Fan nodded to Gao Qiang and Ma Shan, turned his head to call for water silk and water dance, and walked towards the blood wolf.
Chen Fan carefully picked up the female blood wolf, and Shui Silk and Shui Wu also lifted the male blood wolf, and then the three of them flew into the woods and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes in a blink of an eye.
The battle was over, there was nothing worth staying here, the people of the Wilderness Gate began to leave, and the three people of the Burning Sun Sect were also preparing to leave.
In this battle, Yuanyemen also got some silver taels, although they couldn't complete the original task, but at least they also got a "consolation prize", and the Liesun faction was miserable, not only the casualties were the most, but even Ding Yijian was seriously injured, but he couldn't get anything, and the most important thing is that they may have to give up halfway through this mission. Ding Yijian, the captain of the team, was seriously injured, and he must have to withdraw to Nongxia Town to recuperate, and as for whether he needs to continue the mission, he will have to wait for everyone to discuss before deciding.
After a while, the Wilderness Gate and the Burning Sun Sect and the others had all left, and even the corpses had been disposed of. Yu Ruoxi and the others were still standing in place, whispering, waiting for Chen Fan's return.
Yu Ruoxi and Chen Hong were talking. Whether it is out of interest or sincerity, Yu Ruoxi wants to become true friends with Chen Fan. Seeing Chen Fan's love for Gao Qiang and Ma Shan and his care for Chen Hong, he felt that Chen Fan was a person worthy of deep friendship, and Chen Fan's strength also deeply shocked him.
Although he is the son of the patriarch of a big family, there are many innate realm masters in the clan, and he has seen higher martial arts than Shui Yiyi and others, but at such a young age, he has such a powerful martial arts, and he has never seen it, and it is not just one, but seven at the same time, and what is even more outrageous is that these seven genius girls with strong martial arts are actually the same person's guards.
You must know that as one of the legitimate heirs of the big family, he only has Uncle Ming as a congenital master by his side.
Together, these circumstances make Chen Fan's identity mysterious.
It's not the royal family, it's the descendants of the core characters in the super faction, this is the conclusion that Yu Ruoxi and Uncle Ming reached after discussion, and most likely, they are people from the super faction of the Eastern Empire.
Yu Ruoxi does not have the arrogance and pretentiousness of ordinary children of big families, but treats everyone equally, and does not look down on people because of different identities, talking to him, there will be a feeling like a spring breeze, very comfortable, so Chen Hong and others have a good impression of him, and do not resist becoming friends with him, only Chen Fan has always been lukewarm to him, and the hints of friendliness and making friends expressed by him. It was neither refused nor agreed, so that Yu Ruoxi didn't know what to do.
It is not easy to get Chen Fan to admit that he is a friend, because that means that Chen Fan has completely accepted him, this is a friend who can really make friends, not the kind of friend who is united because of interests.
Due to his previous life, Chen Fan was very afraid of being hurt. So when it comes to making friends, be very cautious and will not easily accept a person as his friend.
But for people who are not yet his friends, as long as you express kindness to him, Chen Fan can also feel it. He didn't say it, it didn't mean that he didn't understand it in his heart, he was just too lazy to say it, and he actually had a good impression of Yu Ruoxi. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked him to help buy the blood wolf.
If he can agree to walk with Yu Ruoxi, it means that he has taken the first step to accept Yu Ruoxi, and being able to take the initiative to ask Yu Ruoxi for help is to take the second step.
Chen Fan carried the corpse of the she-blood wolf into the woods as quickly as possible, and stopped about two miles away from the crowd.
He took out a knife from the storage pool and carefully cut open the belly of the blood wolf, and took out the juveniles of five blood wolves from it.
Only two of the five blood wolf hatchlings are still alive, but they are not far from death. The other three were already dead.
Originally, these young wolves were only a few days away from being born. Affected by the strength of the Nedan explosion, it is already a miracle that two of them can survive. Yu Qing only agreed to sell it to Yu Ruoxi because he saw that the belly of the female blood wolf had been burst open by Neidan, and before the young wolf was born, the young wolf inside must have died. Otherwise, I will never agree.
He didn't have Chen Fan's perverted soul perception, and he couldn't sense that there were still two young wolves in the female blood wolf's abdomen that were still alive, so he worked hard to kill the wolf, but in the end, he cheapened Chen Fan.
The "Divine Light" activated, and a golden glow appeared on the surface of the young wolf's body. Pulled the wolf cub back from the ghost door.
Although the young wolf has been treated by the "Divine Light", there will be no problems in the body in a short period of time, but the soul is still very weak, and under Chen Fan's perception, it is only a little better than just now, and there is almost no change.
If this situation cannot be changed, the young wolf will still die, but Chen Fan has not even figured out what caused this situation to happen, how to solve it? Before Chen Fan could figure out a way, he had to send them into the storage pool, and the time stop function inside would save their lives.
The corpses of the two blood wolves were also put into the storage pool, and then a shallow pit was blasted out of the ground with one palm, and the corpses of the three young wolves were buried in it before standing up.
I don't want to go back so soon, since it is said that it will take a little time to deal with two blood wolves, it is better to take a look at the newly acquired beast skills now.
Chen Fan silently recited "Open the Beast Hero Skill" in his heart, and a translucent section immediately popped up in front of him, and there were six big words "Beast Hero Skill" in the center of the upper part of the section, and all the beast skills were listed below the big characters.
There are four columns of icons for orc skills, each with four icons, and each icon has a note underneath.
Count from left to right:
The icons in the first column, from top to bottom, are: Shockwave, War Trampage, Endurance Aura, and Rebirth.
The icons in the second column, from top to bottom, are: Healing Wave, Hex, Cobra Guard, and Voodoo.
The icons in the third column, from top to bottom, are: Swift Step, Mirror, Critical Strike, and Blade Storm.
The icons in the fourth column, from top to bottom, are: Farsightedness, Lightning Chain, Ghost Wolf, Earthquake.
There are a total of sixteen skills, and the first level of the first three skills of each column of icons requires a level of level 1, and now Chen Fan's beast level is still level zero, and the first level of the fourth skill of each column of icons requires a level of twenty.
The number "Four" after the "Remaining Skill Points" in the upper right indicates that there are four skill points left, which are obtained when you open the Path of the Orc Hero.
If you want to learn the skills of the beast clan quickly, you have to work hard to cultivate the "power of the beast soul". With the experience of cultivating the "Divine Qi", the "Beast Soul Power" should be cultivated very quickly.
After opening the skill bar and studying for a while, Chen Fan walked back.
When I returned to the place where Yu Ruoxi and the others were waiting, I saw that Yu Ruoxi was still talking to Chen Hong and the others, and everyone had smiles on their faces, and it seemed that they were talking happily.
As soon as Chen Hong saw Chen Fan coming back, he immediately left Yu Ruoxi behind and ran over quickly. threw himself into Chen Fan's arms.
Chen Fan smiled slightly, hugged Chen Hong as well, and then motioned for her to let go, took her little hand, and walked towards Yu Ruoxi.
"I'm back, I can go. Chen Fan smiled at Yu Ruoxi rarely. After gaining new skills, he was in a good mood.
Seeing that Chen Fan came back empty-handed again, and the two blood wolves didn't know where they went, Yu Ruoxi felt very strange, why did he do this every time, last time it was the blood tiger and the berserk demon bear, and this time it was the blood wolf, they all said that they would deal with it alone, but they didn't see him bring anything back. I don't know where he took those beasts.
Although he felt strange, but this involved personal flesh, since Chen Fan didn't want to reveal it, Yu Ruoxi wouldn't ask, so he just nodded and said, "Okay, then we'll leave now." ”
Then he turned his head and shouted at the people of the white jade clan, "Let's go!"
The crowd immediately continued to move forward in the original formation.
Walked less than two hundred meters. In front of him appeared a cliff, a hundred feet high. The surface is smooth, almost straight up and down, except for the innate master who may go up, it is really difficult for others to go up.
"Is this the place? How do you go, you don't want to climb up, right?" Seeing that everyone stopped, Gao Qiang couldn't help it. I spoke the question in my heart.
"Hehe, of course not, please come with me. Uncle Ming smiled and took the lead towards a thorn bush.
It was covered with vines from the thorn bushes, and there were many withered yellow fallen leaves. Densely packed and massive, spreading out under the cliffs. The distance between the end and the end is at least 200 meters, the distance from the bottom of the cliff is at least 10 meters, and the height of the thorn bush is also 3 or 4 meters.
Uncle Ming came to the place about the middle of the thorn bush, looked left and right for a while, and then slowly pulled the thorns in one place, revealing a passage.
Gao Qiang said "Huh", ran over first, looked at the exposed passage, and exclaimed: "It's amazing, there will be a passage in the thorn bush, senior brother, come and see." ”
Chen Fan pulled Chen Hong and walked over, only to see that the exposed passage was actually the space where the thorns in the thorn bush did not extend to, and it magically formed a passage that people could pass through. The height of the passage is about one and a half meters, and the width is also one meter, and most people have to bend over to walk when they enter, and this passage is not straight, but somewhat curved, and it turns a corner not far in front, and I don't know where to go.
Seeing Chen Fan's surprised expression, Uncle Ming smiled and said, "This is something I accidentally discovered when I came here to venture here before, and because I was curious, I walked in to check it, and I didn't expect to find the entrance to that valley at the end of this passage." ”
"You go the last and then put this place back to where it was. Uncle Ming instructed a big man next to him, and after seeing the big man agree, he said to Chen Fan: "I'll go first, you follow." ”
Then he walked into the passage first, followed by two big men, Chen Fan was afraid of danger in front, so he ordered Shui Qi and Shui Liu to follow Uncle Ming and the three of them in, followed by Yu Ruoxi, and then followed by Chen Fan and others.
When Chen Fan and the others entered, they were facing the cliff and slightly biased to the right, and when they walked for almost three zhang, the passage turned a corner in front of them, leading to the left, and slanted outward. After walking for a while, after about five zhang, it was almost close to the outer edge of the thorn bush, and the passage turned inward, pointing in the direction of the cliff.
Chen Fan and the others walked in about three zhang or so, and the passage turned diagonally to the right, and at the end of the passage, there was a black cave entrance, and the whole distance was like a horizontal "S" shape, entering from one entrance and coming out from the other.
The cave is slightly larger than the passage, about the same height, and the air inside is relatively dry, not damp or mildew, and the air circulation is good.
lit the torch that had been prepared a long time ago, held it in his hand, and Uncle Ming took the lead in walking forward again.
Because the road was bumpy, the cave was dark, and although there were torches, they still couldn't see so clearly, so the speed of the crowd was not fast, and after walking for about a quarter of an hour, they finally saw a bright light in front of them, and the exit arrived!
As soon as Chen Fan came out of the cave, he couldn't help but be fascinated by the scenery in front of him.
What appeared in front of me was a small valley that was not very large, surrounded by cliffs on all sides, and it was actually a valley surrounded by mountains.
The valley is roughly oval in shape, with the longest two places about two miles apart and the shortest two places about a mile and a half apart, and on the left side of the valley there is a small waterhole with a small waterfall flowing out of the mountain. Flying into the waterhole, splashing with bursts of mist.
On the right side of the valley is a small fruit grove, and the fruit trees are full of ripe fruit, and some birds are looking for fruit to eat in the fruit trees.
The rest of the ground is overgrown with a variety of flowers and plants and some unknown plants, and the fragrance of flowers is fragrant. Not far away, a few pairs of butterflies are dancing among the flowers.
What a paradise!
"Be careful, don't move!" It's a pity that there are often deadly things hidden under beautiful things, seeing a middle-aged man who was fascinated by the scenery in front of him and wanted to go to the side, Uncle Ming hurriedly stopped.
Everyone was awakened by Uncle Ming's shouting, and they all looked at Uncle Ming.
Uncle Ming's expression was serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Everyone stay where you are and don't move, and I will tell you about the danger that exists here." ”
Then he walked up to the middle-aged man who had just been stopped by him, pointed to a plant with jagged leaves on the ground not far away, and said, "Everyone, please look." The plant with its jagged leaves is highly poisonous, and although I don't know its name, I do know that if you accidentally get scratched by it, you will immediately be poisonous, and it will be very difficult to force it out. When I came here before, I was scratched by it because I didn't know what was going on. As a result, it took me a day to force out all the poison in the house. So you have to be careful not to get hurt by it. ”
"This is a poisonous tooth grass, the whole body is covered with poisonous hairs, the poison is yin, it is a rare poisonous weed. A crisp voice suddenly came from the side.
Everyone looked in the direction where the voice came from, but found that it was Chen Hong who spoke just now.
At this time, she grabbed Chen Fan's arm tightly with both hands. With a smile on his face and a hint of excitement in his eyes, it was as if he had seen something beloved.
"Do you know this poisonous weed?" Uncle Ming was a little surprised, but also a little excited.
What surprised Chen Hong was that he was young and young, and he actually knew this poisonous weed that he didn't even know. Although Chen Fan once said that she was a pharmacist, but at that time, when he saw that she was still so young, he thought she was just an apprentice, but now it seems that she is not simple. The excitement was that if she really knew so much about medicinal herbs, then everyone would be much safer here, because even he didn't know if there were any other types of poisonous weeds here besides this poisonous weed.
"Hmm!" Chen Hong nodded, "Because this poisonous weed is covered in poisonous hairs all over its body, as long as it is scratched, the poisonous hairs will seep through the wound, and the poison will then dissolve into the blood, and attack the heart along the blood." This kind of poison poison is cold, belongs to a kind of blood coagulation poison, in this poison, there will be chills all over the body, blood and gas running slowed down, and at the same time the symptoms of stiffness of hands and feet, if there is no congenital master to help, there is no antidote to the symptoms, then as long as this poison, the day after tomorrow below the seventh level will die within a quarter of an hour, the day after tomorrow above the eighth level of people will hold on longer, but even if it is the peak of the day after tomorrow, it can only last for four hours. When the time comes, you will also die. The acquired Great Perfection master can forcibly suppress the poison, but he can't force the poison out, and when the true qi is gone, he will also attack the heart and die, only the master of the innate realm can force this poison out of the body. ”
When it comes to medicinal herbs, Chen Hong talks eloquently, calmly, like a professional, in terms of medicinal herbs, she can indeed be regarded as an expert-level figure, whether it is from the identification of medicinal herbs, or in refining medicinal herbs, she is no worse than some famous old pharmacists, and she has many special methods of refining medicinal herbs, which others do not know.
The medicinal properties of the herbs refined using these methods will be thirty percent better than the same herbs refined by others, which is very powerful. Therefore, the Baicaotang in Nongxia Town would buy the herbs she had refined at a much higher price than others, but unfortunately, she had not been able to pick many herbs before, and her life was still not good.
"Yes, that's what it looks like, when I was poisoned before, I also felt chills all over my body, as if it was frozen inside, do you really know this poisonous weed!" Uncle Ming exclaimed in surprise.
Chen Hong smiled silently.
When everyone saw Uncle Ming's appearance, they knew that Chen Hong was not lying, and they couldn't help but be secretly surprised, they couldn't imagine that this little girl who rarely spoke would be a clever pharmacist.
"Then please ask Pharmacist Chen to tell us, which herbs are poisonous here, and which ones can't be touched?" Knowing that Chen Hong was familiar with herbs, Uncle Ming was of course excited, he didn't want to come here and have an accident.
"Good. Chen Hong is still very happy about this matter, she is very interested in this aspect: "This plant with striped leaves is called fairy finger, breaking its leaves will emit a fragrance, this fragrance can make people fall into hallucinations, difficult to extricate themselves, oops, there is a butterfly dream here, this poisonous weed is very toxic, if you accidentally eat this herb, even if you are a congenital master, it is difficult to protect yourself." And this ......"
Chen Hong took Chen Fan's hand and walked in front of those medicinal herbs, pointing out which one is a poisonous weed, while explaining the characteristics, as if facing the flowers and plants planted in his own garden, he didn't need to be carefully identified at all, as if he was very familiar with each medicinal herb, he pointed out which one was a poisonous weed at will, and then the characteristics of that poisonous weed blurted out, without thinking at all.
Everyone also walked cautiously, avoiding every poisonous weed that Chen Hong mentioned.
After Chen Hong's detailed explanation, everyone had a general understanding of the situation of poisonous weeds in this valley, and classified the area where those poisonous weeds were located as a forbidden area, and they would never go there if they had nothing to do.
Fortunately, those poisonous weeds are not numerous, and they are not widely distributed, they are scattered in a few small areas, so as long as everyone pays attention to it, it will be fine.
The first thing Yu Ruoxi did when he came here was, of course, to collect the soul returning grass that he had come here this time for.
Although he had read the information of the Soul Returning Grass in detail before he came, and had also asked the medicine master for advice on how to collect and preserve it, he was still afraid of accidents, after all, he was not familiar with this aspect, and this was only one chance, in case of an accident, if he couldn't go back with the well-preserved Soul Returning Grass this time, I was afraid that his father would never wake up again.
At this time, I found out that Chen Hong was such a powerful pharmacist, of course I wanted to ask her for help.
Of course, Chen Hong would not refuse, and easily found the Soul Returning Grass in the valley, Chen Hong quickly and skillfully collected the Soul Returning Grass, and taught Yu Ruoxi how to preserve it, and Yu Ruoxi was overjoyed and thanked.
After the task was completed, because it was getting late now, Yu Ruoxi decided to rest here for a day and leave tomorrow, although he also wanted to stay here and collect the precious herbs here, which was a lot of wealth, but his father had little time left, and he had to rush back as soon as possible.
So he went to Chen Fan to discuss going back. He himself really hoped that Chen Fan could go back with him, after all, the way back was still very dangerous, in case he encountered a third-level ancient beast again, he was not sure that he could escape, with Chen Fan here, safety would be guaranteed.
It's a pity that Chen Fan didn't want to go back so soon. His main purpose in entering the Nongxia Forest was originally to collect medicinal herbs for alchemy, and now that he has come to this valley overgrown with medicinal herbs, how could he follow Yu Ruoxi back immediately?
After being rejected by Chen Fan, although Yu Ruoxi was a little disappointed, she didn't mean to be angry, Chen Fan had helped him enough, what else could he expect? And Chen Fan had no obligation to help him. For Chen Fan, he only has gratitude in his heart.
Since she had decided to go back, Yu Ruoxi would not continue to stay, and immediately said goodbye to Chen Fan.
Although Chen Fan would not follow Yu Ruoxi together, he had a good impression of Yu Ruoxi and didn't want him to be in danger, so he sent Shui Si and the other four girls to follow him and escort them out of the gorge. (To be continued......)
