Chapter 4 East Peak
The mountain that Feng Ruo is going to at this moment is called the East Peak, which is named according to the direction, and similarly, the other three sides also have the West Peak, the North Peak, the South Peak, plus the main peak where the Qingyun Sect is located, which is also the core area of Qingyun Mountain.
Beyond these five peaks is the extension area, which is said to be a total of seventy-two peaks, and outside the extension area is the outer area of Qingyun Mountain, where the terrain is usually not very steep and is the area where mortals live.
However, if you talk about the highest degree of danger, it is not the core five peaks of Qingyun Mountain, but the seventy-two peaks in the extended area, these seventy-two peaks are extremely steep, not to mention ordinary mountain roads, there is not even a place to stay, the cliffs are everywhere, the broken walls are heavy, the valley is secluded, and the miasma is continuous, here is the place where those powerful spirit beasts live, even if they have flying mounts like Kong Fei, the three generations of disciples of the Qingyun Sect with good strength do not dare to come here easily.
Of course, huge risks will also be accompanied by huge benefits, in the Seventy-two Peaks region, there are all kinds of rare minerals, as well as rare spirit grass, if you can kill a powerful spirit beast, or collect a rare spirit grass, it will also be a lot of income.
Feng Ruo guessed more than once that Qu Yun's annihilation merchant might have taken a group of people to the edge of the seventy-two peaks to take an adventure.
However, Feng Ruo did not have the qualifications to participate in Quyun's adventure team now, and he did not come to this East Peak to hunt low-level spirit beasts, but to collect ten-year-old blood condensation grass, this kind of low-grade spirit grass has a lot in the entire Qingyun Mountain Range, but the only place he can collect is this area, because if he goes deeper, he may encounter low-level spirit beasts.
But now that Feng Ruo has the Moon Reflecting Short Knife, he finally has a little self-protection ability, so he decided to go a little deeper in order to collect more blood condensation grass, and if he is lucky, he may be able to encounter the two spirit grasses of nectar branch and thyme.
Since Feng Ruo didn't have a flying mount, he couldn't fly through the canyon that was hundreds of zhang wide at once, but fortunately, someone left an arm-thick iron chain at both ends of the canyon, and finally left him a passage.
However, this chain passage has no protective measures at all, coupled with the whistling mountain wind in the canyon, it is impossible to walk over, even with Feng Ruo's skills, he can only be embarrassed, using both hands and feet, and crawling over little by little.
Fortunately, it was not the first time Feng Ruo had climbed this iron chain, he checked the items on his body, and tied the three Qiankun bags and the Yingyue short knife firmly to his body, after all, the iron chain would have a great shock due to the fierce mountain wind, and once he lost an item, he would definitely be distressed to death.
Taking a deep breath, he glanced at the misty, bottomless abyss below, Feng Ruo quickly took out two strips of cloth and wrapped them tightly around his hands, this is because the clouds and mist rise in this canyon, the humidity is extremely large, and the iron chain is hundreds of zhang long, so it is easy to slip on his hands, and there is no such concern when he wraps two strips of cloth.
Everything was ready, Feng Ruo did not hesitate any longer, and quickly climbed along the iron chain, and after half a pillar of incense, he had successfully reached the opposite mountain.
After carefully observing the surroundings for a while, after making sure that there was no trace of the activities of low-level spirit beasts around, Feng Ruo bowed his body, took a light step, held the Moon Reflecting Short Knife, and walked towards the front with great caution.
This area on the edge of this cliff had been carefully searched back and forth by him many times, and all the blood coagulation grass had been collected by him, so he had no choice but to continue to move forward.
On the east peak, there are lush tall trees everywhere, most of them are more than hundreds of years old, thousands of years of existence, each one needs several people to hug, and the height has reached more than ten zhang, or even dozens of zhang, the huge canopy covers it, forming a large shadow.
Luckily, the trees don't grow densely together, so there's still a few rays of sunlight that shine through, otherwise the environment would be very gloomy.
The weeds on the ground are not very high, about half a foot or so, but they are dense, and many unknown wildflowers are gently swaying in the wind on them, and the faint floral fragrance mixed with the smell of grass makes people feel like they are in a dream.
But at this moment, Wu Yan was extremely nervous, carefully taking every step, his eyes widened, from the canopy above, to the grass under his feet, and everything around, he had to carefully observe it, and only after confirming that there was nothing abnormal, would he continue to move forward.
This is not that Feng Ruo is timid, but he knows very well that the place where he is now is not the ordinary mountains and wilderness in the mortal world, here, even a small insect may be a deadly existence, in that primary spirit beast identification book, there are at least a dozen kinds of poisonous insects that look ordinary, but deadly, and their danger is no less than those low-level spirit beasts with huge size.
Suddenly, Feng Ruo's gaze froze, and he stopped in a bush, and among these weeds, there was a ten-year-old blood clotting grass.
"Hey, it seems that my luck is not bad!" Feng Ruo cheered in his heart, and after inspecting the surroundings again, he walked over and took out a jade knife with a faint green color from the storage bag, which was specially used to harvest spiritual grass, and the price was a five-element stone, which was also in Feng Ruo's debts.
Harvesting the Blood Clotting Grass, Feng Ruo was already familiar with it, and after a while, he put the Blood Clotting Grass into the storage bag.
Maybe it was because of good luck, or because it was more in-depth, but in two hours, Feng Ruo had collected dozens of blood condensation grasses, and the goal of three hundred was already within reach.
"Huh, is that-nectar branch?" Feng Ruo suddenly whispered excitedly, and more than a dozen feet in front of him, two spirit grasses with blue-purple leaves were growing there quietly!
"Manna Branch! This must be a Manna Branch!" Although Feng Ruo had seen this kind of spirit grass for the first time, he still recognized it at a glance after reciting the primary spirit grass identification record well, this manna branch was much more valuable than the blood condensation grass, and this thing could be refined to make Huoluo Dansan, which was used to supplement the lack of mana, which was exactly what Feng Ruo urgently needed now.
Taking a deep breath, Feng Ruo was about to step forward to harvest these two manna branches, but at this moment, in the corner of his eye, something the size of a dog suddenly appeared.
In an instant, Feng Ruo couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, but benefiting from his past experience of fighting on the battlefield, he didn't scream and run away in panic, but stopped and slowly turned around, facing the spirit beast.
"It's the black spirit civet!" Feng Ruo's pupils constricted, and the information in the primary spirit beast identification record quickly flashed in his mind.
"The black spirit civet, a first-level spirit beast, has a small body, can take the initiative to attack, is known for its fast attack speed, and the degree of danger is average. ”
