Chapter Eighty-Nine: Mutation in the Cave
Walking out of the cave and returning to the surface, the three of them were still searching tirelessly, picking spirit grass, and they were not aware of the disappearance of the thunderstorm for a long time.
Lei Yu found firewood, lit a fire, cooked Linggu rice, and used branches to string the second-order spirit beast, the wild boar, and roasted it.
The smell of barbecue wafted through the small space, and the three of them smelled it, which immediately triggered the hunger in their stomachs, and they immediately surrounded them, eager to eat the meat skewers that were still in the barbecue.
"You want us to come here, it's too wise, and the harvest is too great. Eating the barbecue, Senior Sister Shi couldn't help but speak.
"You see, the spirit grass I found is all third-grade and fourth-grade. Wow, I made a lot of money today," Ding Biyao said excitedly and took out a spirit grass.
"Seven-petal Tongtian Chrysanthemum!" After Zhu Quanming saw it, he recognized it at a glance, it was a four-grade top-grade spirit grass, and a five-petal Tongtian Chrysanthemum was also worth thousands of medium-grade spars. The seven-petal Tongtian chrysanthemum has only been seen in the "Record of Strange Objects of Cultivation Items", and it is not seen in the world at all.
According to the description in the "Catalogue of Strange Objects of Cultivation Items", Tongtian Chrysanthemum, the preferred spiritual herb for the six pins of pills.
Its living environment is extremely harsh, and it can only grow in a place where the aura of heaven and earth is excellent, the climate is mild, the temperature difference between the four seasons and the humidity changes are very small, and it can reach seven petals and be fully mature for more than three thousand years.
"Senior Sister Ding, you are so lucky, where did you find it?" Senior Sister Shi was also excited, she also knew the value of this spirit grass.
"It's on that slope, but it's a pity that there are only two plants," Ding Biyao said proudly, but there were too few of them.
"Come on, there's one plant that's amazing, and you're too greedy, junior sister. Senior Sister Shi said enviously, and hurriedly swallowed the meat skewer in her hand, "I'll look for it again." As he spoke, he left.
Seeing this, Ding Biyao handed the uneaten meat skewers in his hand to Lei Yu, "I'll eat it when I come back!" stood up and ran to look for the spirit grass again.
"Forget it, it's almost dark, it's not too late to look for it tomorrow!" Lei Yu took Senior Sister Ding's meat skewers and said with a wry smile, "It's so crazy, you won't be allowed to eat!"
When it was almost dark, the two of them, who had not yet been in time, turned back in a huff.
"Tomorrow morning, continue!" Ding Biguio said.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, just after dawn, the three of them tossed around in this small space, and searched almost everywhere before they reluctantly gave up and returned, but the three of them were all excited, and the harvest was also great.
"There's a cave over there, I've taken a look at it, I'll stay there tonight, there's a hot spring there!" said Thunderstorm.
"It's great to have a hot spring! I've been walking so much in the past few days, I really want to take a shower. Ding Baguio heard this and said happily.
When I came to the cave, although the Xuanhuang spiritual vein had been taken away by the thunderstorm, the aura that had been gathered for tens of millions of years was still there, and the aura inside was incomparably rich.
"Wow, it's so comfortable to stay here for a few more days, meditate and cultivate, and your cultivation will definitely grow fast!" Senior Sister Ding said with emotion while greedily inhaling the rich heaven and earth aura.
Around the corner, the spring water falls from the wall into a naturally occurring pool. The spring water in the pond is steamy, and the water temperature is just neither lukewarm nor hot.
"You go outside, don't peek, we have to take a bath!" Ding Baguio, as soon as he saw this hot spring, he immediately issued an eviction order.
......
Returning from the slit, they embarked on the road of training again, and the thunderstorm had fallen on the Zuihou of the contestants. Although it fell on Zuihou, the four of them were excited in their hearts, "With such a big harvest, this experience is worth it." ”
In the cave, everyone took out all the spirit grass they found, and wanted everyone to share it equally, Lei Yu smiled and dissuaded: "Spirit grass, everyone has found some, so there is no need to divide it, anyway, there is a harvest, and it is impossible to distinguish, each depends on the opportunity." ”
Thunderstorm asked for a few varieties that were not currently available in the Blood Thunder Bead, and everyone included their respective spirit grasses in their storage rings.
Ding Biyao quietly handed over the seven-petal Tongtian chrysanthemum to Lei Yu, asked him to collect it well, and deliberately said with a straight face: "If there is a little damage, I want you to look good." ”
"Haode, Senior Sister Ding's order, how dare I disobey it, I must keep it well. Lei Yu said with a smile, with her in the past few days, Lei Yu knows her character and feels it, "She looks stern in her mouth, and she has long been an outsider to him." ”
After resuming walking on the normal route, it continued to rain for several days, and it stopped and stopped, and sometimes it rained heavily. Fortunately, they are all cultivators, and their cultivation is not weak, no matter how heavy the rain is, as long as they sacrifice a defensive enchantment, they will not be wet by the rain. It's just that the canyon, which is already very dark and wet, is covered with fog from time to time, and the water level of the stream has also risen a lot.
Along the way, they also encountered several dangers, all of which were easily solved by thunderstorms.
On this day, when passing through a long cave, the cave was dark, and I couldn't see my fingers. The four of them each took out a night pearl, and with the faint light emitted by the night pearl, they walked all the way, and when everyone was cautious and dodging the water droplets that dripped from time to time in the cave, Lei Yu suddenly heard an extremely slight and inattentive sound.
"Something is wrong, be careful!" Thunderstorm reminded as he stopped and observed in the faint light.
Through the faint light of the Night Pearl, the thunderstorm they saw countless first- and second-order golden beetles gushing out from the cracks in the rock wall, densely gathering around them, the oily hard shell, under the illumination of the Night Pearl, reflecting the bright light of the stars, its pair of large chelae that were not commensurate with its body, opened and surrounded them by the thunderstorm.
The golden beetle is bloodthirsty, more ferocious and greedy than the first-order man-eating ants. There is a famous saying in the cultivation world: "It is better to offend man-eating ants than to offend golden beetles." ”
For some reason, the countless golden beetles poured out at once, maybe they smelled the food they liked, or maybe for some other reason, all of them came out of the cracks in the rock wall, rushed in the direction they were traveling, and their mouths squeaked excitedly, although the single sound was not loud, but countless squeaks converged, echoing in this quiet cave, and suddenly it was creepy and terrifying.
"Worm, worm, worm......。 When Senior Sister Shi saw it, she was completely stunned, if she was crawling all over her body by them, she really couldn't imagine the taste, and exclaimed incoherently.
"What to do?, Thunderstorm. Senior Sister Ding leaned towards Lei Yu at once, and asked anxiously, and she automatically sacrificed the defensive enchantment, and her body trembled unconsciously.
"Don't panic, I'll try. Thunderstorm said as he offered the Five Elements Blue Blood Soul Destroying Needle obtained from Jibu Songzan of the Demon Dao Ghost Sect and shot it at the golden beetles around them.
Suddenly, thousands of golden beetles were in front of them, and they were condemned to death by the soul-destroying needle. When the manoeuvre worked and the frightened mood of the crowd stabilized a little, there was a rumbling sound in the cave.
"It's not good, it's a flash flood, everyone be careful!" the thunderstorm shouted, and the rumbling sound, which was not loud at first, suddenly turned into a thunderclap, and the rumbling sound came, and the hard rock walls around them were instantly washed away by the powerful current, and the ground where they stopped also sank.
The sudden drastic change caused the four of them to be scattered by the powerful torrent and washed out of the cave. All these changes came so suddenly that they were not allowed to think about it.
Rushing out of the cave with the current, Lei Yu grabbed a cliff, stood up, and saw Senior Brother Zhu and Senior Sister Shi also being washed out.
"Where's Senior Sister Ding?" asked Lei Yu anxiously.
"We didn't know that the current was so strong that we were washed out at once. Senior Sister Shi said in horror.
"You just stay here, I'll go back and find it!" said Thunderstorm, turning to meet the rushing water.
The narrow cave, the water rushing out, is too strong, just off the water, the thunderstorm was washed back by this powerful water flow more than ten meters.
After struggling to stand still, Lei Yu jumped up, grabbed the rock wall, and crawled into the cave like a gecko in the gap where the water was almost close to the top of the cave, very hard, but the speed of travel was not slow, and he disappeared into the cave after a while.
Zhu and Shi were frightened, and when they saw Lei Yu in this way, they ventured back and wanted to help, but they didn't dare, so they had to stay outside the cave and wait anxiously.
The water flow was too fast, and the thunderstorm could only be adsorbed on the top wall of the cave with his hands and feet, and at this time, the cultivation results of the second layer of the Divine Thunder Palace were completely reflected.
After a few miles of travel, the thunderstorm soon came to the source of the flash flood, and the dark river in the cave broke through the rock wall and rushed out like a stream of water. Lei Yu searched all the way, but didn't find Senior Sister Ding.
"Where the hell was she washed away?" thunderstorm kept analyzing in his mind. When he came to the source, he almost let the thunderstorm fall from the top of the cave, and the water of the surging dark river, part of which flowed into the cave, and the other part flowed into a dark river, and Senior Sister Ding must have been washed into the dark river.
Without the slightest hesitation, the thunderstorm jumped into the dark river, and the powerful current swept him into the dark river again. With water droplets in hand, it is not a problem to breathe in the dark river during a thunderstorm.
"Little stone, senior Lei, pay attention to the search. Lei Yu said with his divine sense.
In a moment, the arrow-like flow of water took him more than twenty miles away, and as the surface of the dark river widened, the current gradually slowed down.
"Right ahead!" said Little Stone.
A few miles away, Senior Sister Ding appeared, but she looked a little demented and stood there motionless. A humanoid monster with a snake tail is circling her, and it is about to turn it against her.
"Master be careful, it's a seventh-order snake Jiao!" Xiao Shi reminded in the Blood Thunder Bead.
"Stop!" exclaimed Thunderstorm, a few miles away, and at once he rushed to the ground.
"Jie Ji, here is another one, okay! All attribute five elements spirit root, this time luck is good!" The seventh-order snake Jiao said with a smile on his face, as a seventh-order spirit beast, he can basically transform into a human form, and he can also use human language proficiently.
"Let her go!" Thunderstorm said calmly, rushing not far from him.
"Why, after eating you, my cultivation can be increased, and the time for me to turn into a dragon can also be shortened. The snake said proudly.
"Senior Sister Ding, are you okay. Lei Yu patted Ding Zhuyao's shoulder with his hand, and a true qi was transmitted to her, and she suddenly sobered up.
"Thunderstorm, why did you fall into its hands?" Senior Sister Ding, who came to her senses, said in surprise, and turned to look at the snake Jiao, and a decadent look appeared on her face.
"I saw that you didn't come out, so I came back and finally found you. ”
"You shouldn't be here, in this way, you will have to take your life with me!" Senior Sister Ding said with tears of pain, both relieved and helpless.
"How can I leave my senior sister behind, don't be afraid, I'm here, it's okay. ”
"It seems that you kid is very fond of it, and you are not small, but there are two of you, why didn't you come together?" said the snake Jiao happily. I didn't swallow her in one bite just now, but I just hoped that a few of her humans would come to save her and catch her all in one go. Seeing that the thunderstorm was coming, the other two, who had not yet appeared, couldn't help but ask out loud
