Chapter Seventy-Five: A Basin of Vitality
ps: The first more recommended!
"Miss, it's hopeless, let's move on!" the deputy captain of the herb collection team, who was over fifty years old, sighed and suggested.
Ling Xiaoxue nodded, stood up and said, "Everyone, the Blood Forest is extremely dangerous, and it is inevitable that there will be all kinds of accidents, but you can rest assured, the deceased will not die in vain, the Ling family will compensate your family with 100,000 taels of silver, and the others will each have 10,000 yuan, if I am unfortunately killed, it will be equally effective." β
"Miss is such a good person! β
"Well, as a martial artist, it's normal for something to have an accident, but I'm afraid that my family will lose their support. β
There are only six Condensing Truth Realm martial artists among the members of the escort team, and the rest are all Qi Realm cultivators, with their strength, even if they hunt demon beasts every day, it will take a few months to earn 100,000 taels of silver, but this is impossible, who can stay in the place where the demon beasts gather every day, I am afraid that they will be hunted and eaten in less than three days, so normally speaking, it takes more than five years for ordinary Qi Realm martial artists to earn 100,000 taels, and this will always be able to not die, after all, when you are unlucky, you may run into a high-level demon beast, and you can't escape.
Now Ling Xiaoxue compensated the deceased's family with 100,000 taels of silver at once, which was equivalent to cutting off their worries, so that they didn't have to worry about the future life of their families, and those who survived also had 10,000 taels of silver, which increased their fighting spirit.
"This woman has the temperament of a superior person. Ling Xiaoxue's actions made Ye Chen nod secretly.
ββ
The dead are dead, and the rest of the people still have to keep on their way.
As it progressed, everyone seemed to have come to another shijie, completely isolated from the bustling city.
The Bloody Forest deserves the title of Bloodshed, and thirty miles away, everyone encountered four waves of demon beast attacks.
The first wave is three underground demon rats, which are second-level demon beasts.
The second wave is a large group of silver kraits, which are second-level demon beasts.
The third wave is five scorpion-tailed demon wolves, which are third-level top demon beasts.
The fourth wave is a blind mighty rock bear, a fourth-level demon beast.
Under the attack of the third and fourth waves of demon beasts, no one died or even was injured, but the first and second waves of demon beast attacks killed four people in the escort team and the medicine collection team.
The strength of the underground demon rat is not strong, if it is encountered normally, the seventh or eighth layer martial artist of the Qi Realm can defeat it, and it does not need to take much effort, but when it lurks underground, it is a nightmare for the martial artist of the Qi Realm and even the early stage of the Condensing Truth Realm.
In the escort team, a martial artist who had cultivated to reach the tenth level of the Qi Cultivation Realm was dragged into the deep cave by the underground demon rat without any resistance, and the screams continued for a long time before stopping. And the second and third underground demon rats were unlucky, and they actually targeted Ye Chen and Yuan Xuemei, and before they could get out of the soil, they were urged by the two of them to be angry, and they were shocked to death underground, so frightened that the other also ran away.
If the underground demon rat made everyone's hearts have a shadow, then the second wave of demon beast attacks, a large group of silver krait snakes made them fearful.
The silver krait snake is a second-level demon beast, the head is oval, the whole body is arranged with white rings and black rings on its back, the white ring is narrow, the tail is slender, the body length reaches three or four meters, the arm thickness is thin, and the toxicity is slightly weaker than the dark green poisonous dragon spider, but the martial artist of the Ning True Realm is bitten, and he will die of respiratory failure in a short time, and it is very troublesome to treat.
The attack of the krait snake is very strange, from the treetops, in the grass, under the fallen leaves, from all directions, causing a sound like a raging storm, crazy and crazy.
At the critical moment, Wang Feng, a disciple of Beixue Mountain Villa, used the Blizzard Knife Technique, where the cold knife strength passed, the speed of the silver krait snake immediately slowed down, and those who were close were cut into pieces of meat, flying sideways in all directions, blocking most of the silver krait snake with the strength of one person.
Ye Chen and Yuan Xuemei were not vegetarians either, and they all displayed useful martial arts and killed the silver krait ten steps away.
Unfortunately, the scope of protection for a few people is limited after all, and a member of the medicine collection team and two members of the escort team were bitten by dozens of silver kraits, and they died of poison at that time and fell to the ground.
Ling Xiaoxue's face was very pale, not only because of the fact that there were more and more demon beasts near the depths of the Blood Forest, but also partly because there were too many dead people and the amount of compensation that needed to be compensated was too large, it was not that she was stingy, this time just hiring five sect disciples cost 100,000 taels of gold and 50 Yiqi Healing Pills, with a total value of nearly 250,000 taels of gold, which is converted into 2.5 million taels of silver, and now the compensation for the five dead people is 500,000 taels, and the survivors are 10,000 taels each, adding up to more than 3.5 million taels, and if some more people die next, this number will exceed 5 million taelsγ ,
For the small family of the Ling family, five million taels is enough to break the muscles and bones, and it is easy to have a situation of ineffective turnover, and a poor turnover usually makes a small family bankrupt.
Biting her lower lip, Ling Xiaoxue expected that there would be a harvest of haode next.
After walking ten miles again, Ye Chen suddenly felt that the vitality of the heaven and earth around him was much richer, and a faint mist was revealing in the distance.
Ling Xiaoxue obviously felt the change in her vitality, and said in an excited tone: "The place where the medicine is collected is almost here, everyone try harder." β
"Oh!"
Everyone in the Ling family couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, all the way over, their nerves were tense, and they didn't dare to relax at all, for fear that once they relaxed, they would become the prey of demon beasts, and they would never be able to leave the Blood Forest and return to their warm home.
Fortunately, there is always a reward for the effort, and it should be much easier to go back when the medicine is collected.
A moment passed.
Everyone came to a huge basin, as far as the eye can see, the whole basin is several miles in size, which is lush and full of all kinds of herbs, there are black ring grass, silver bell grass, golden bead iron blood grass, star flower, centipede flower, Zhu Guo, black snake fruit, seven-star bead grass, three-color jujube tree, no winter jujube tree, nearly hundreds of herbs of all sizes, large and small, there are all kinds of herbs, rich aura gathers in the sky, forming a faint mist, looming, like a fairyland in the world, the fog is victorious.
"Lots of herbs. "The members of the medicine collection team have their eyes shining one by one, their breathing is accelerating, these herbs may not be worth a single one, but the number is very terrible, if they can all be collected back, they can be sold for one or two million taels of silver without refining the medicine, and if they are refined into pills, the price will increase tenfold, and it is not a problem to earn ten million taels of silver, and some precious herbs are more than this price, such as the golden bead iron-blooded grass that refines the one-qi healing pill is a rare herb, one can be sold for a thousand taels of gold, which is more expensive than a haode weapon.
Ling Xiaoxue's face showed joy, but she was not carried away by the excitement, and ordered: "Two members of the escort team protect a member of the medicine collection team, separate from each other, don't make your own decisions if there is any situation, report it to me immediately." β
"Yes!"
Along the way, the members of the escort team have made a lot of contributions, if it is not for them to protect the members of the medicine collection team in the center, there will be more people who will die, but everything is worth it, in addition to the silver they should get, each person can also get an additional 10,000 taels of silver, which is equivalent to the usual harvest of several months.
After arranging their respective work, Ling Xiaoxue herself also joined the ranks of collecting herbs, and from time to time she exclaimed in surprise, obviously some herbs were very valuable.
Yuan Xuemei smiled and said: "This basin is full of vitality, maybe there are some demon beasts, the five of us will patrol everywhere!"
Ye Chen nodded, "That's right, everyone loves to be responsible for one direction." β
βhaodeγ β
Using people's money to eliminate disasters for others, the five of them each occupy a position, patrol back and forth, and occasionally pick some needed herbs and put them in the storage spirit ring.
