Chapter 94: Deep
"In addition, each sect has drawn outstanding disciples in the identification and picking of medicinal herbs from its subordinate sects, a total of eight people.
Their origins are more complicated, ranging from the first to the third level of the sect.
In addition, there were six guards, all brought by these eight people.
In this way, our team has a total of thirty people, and before entering the Demon Beast Forest, we must first formulate a charter, otherwise it will be easy to mess up, what do you say? ”
Huo Lei of the Starlight Sect proposed.
"Senior Brother Huo and Brother Shangguan, both of them are the top powerhouses in the middle of the Yuan Infant Period, you two can discuss a rule, and we will do it." Qi Hongyao said.
"Then let's respect the elderly, Brother Shangguan is the team leader, and I am the deputy team leader, how about it?" Horay asked.
Seeing that everyone had no opinion, the man in white smiled and said:
"Okay, then I'll be disrespectful.
Each faction is responsible for the safety of their own people, especially the eight geniuses in medicinal materials, and everyone must focus on protecting them.
As for the six retinues, they are conceited of life and death, and they are uniformly obeyed and dispatched, and serve the whole team, how about it? ”
The leaders of the other three factions all nodded in agreement.
"Then let's go, Wu Lingfeng, you went last time, you came to lead the way, the strength of the team members is uneven, don't fly too fast."
This disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect responded and flew towards the Demon Beast Forest first.
A female disciple of the Dan Dao Sect was ordered to take Wang Mengxue Fei with her, and other medicinal material experts with low cultivation were also helped.
Although Jin Ziming was in the early stage of Jindan, he was able to keep up with the team's flight speed independently, which made Qi Hongyao look up to him.
After flying out for more than an hour, he entered the outer Demon Forest, which was very similar to the Black Vast Forest, with dense vegetation and many beasts.
It's autumn, and even though it's approaching noon, the gray-white mist is still thick, and the smell of dampness and rotting leaves in the forest is steaming into the air, making people feel a little uncomfortable.
Jin Ziming already knew that the leader of this team was called Shangguan Ming, and when he saw that he looked at Fairy Ye with a smile from time to time, his eyes were full of admiration and tenderness, and he even made an elegant and considerate appearance, which made him extremely unhappy in his heart.
However, thinking of the current environment, the background of the other party, and the strength of the peak level of the super faction Yuan Infant in the middle stage, he decided to endure it first, and the right to "sharpen" his mind with this.
The crowd continued to fly northwest for nearly three hours, and the sun began to set, and the sky gradually darkened.
Shangguan Ming gave the order:
"Wu Lingfeng, under the cliff seven miles to the northeast, there is a mountain stream, next to it is a lawn, we will fly over now, and we will camp there tonight."
"Okay, Senior Brother Shangguan."
They landed at their destination, where the grass was green, the mountains were full of flowers, the water was clear, and the trees next to them were filled with the crisp chirping of birds and the occasional roar of wild beasts.
Needless to say, the six guards, or the six miscellaneous servants, began to work consciously.
Wang Mengxue and several geniuses who identified medicinal herbs also came to help, or set up tents, or prepare dinner, and went to fish in the mountain streams with their hands and feet.
Jin Ziming didn't want to see the coy attitude of the team leader, and even remembered that he needed the blood of demon beasts, so he proposed to go into the forest to hunt some game.
Wang Mengxue wanted to go along, but he refused, and Ye Ranyi also knew that these demon beasts could not threaten him, as for the others, no one cared about his life and death.
Jin Ziming walked into the twilight forest, everything here made him feel familiar and intimate, and he felt like home.
Now that his divine soul is powerful, he no longer needs to mark the trees like before, and as he goes deeper, his divine sense detects the distribution of the surrounding demon beasts.
After filtering out ordinary beasts and first- and second-order demon beasts, he finally found a strong third-order one-horned mad bull more than sixty miles away.
Jin Ziming chased after him, and at the moment when he was about to collide with it, he performed the "Wind Walking Technique", dodged to the left side of the mad bull, and stabbed him deeply in the abdomen.
The sword qi exploded in the bull demon's body, shattering its heart in an instant.
Jin Ziming prepared a lot of super-large skin bags in advance, immediately took out one, inserted the blood of the bull demon, and then put in a fresh-keeping pill, sealed it, and indicated the type and rank of the demon beast on it.
When he returned to the camp, the smell of grilled fish was already in the air, and Shangguan Ming, Ye Ranyi and others were eating the first batch of delicacies.
Wang Mengxue left him a little fish and mushrooms, and Jin Ziming took out the mad bull and began to clean and cut it.
He spread the condiments and sauces he had brought with him, set up an iron frame over the campfire, and began to grill the meat.
Not long after, the aroma of beef and the sound of "zizi" spread in all directions, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Fairy Ye looked at the attractive roast beef, tasted a small bite, it was indeed fragrant and tender, and she didn't realize that she had eaten a few more pieces.
I had the heart to praise two sentences, and suddenly remembered the habit of climbing up the pole, and immediately gave up.
Jin Ziming had been paying attention to her reaction, and was immediately keenly aware of the glimmer of approval that flashed in her eyes, and suddenly felt satisfied.
This beef was originally roasted for her to eat, and as for the others, it was just incidental.
The team flew northwest, and after four days, they finally crossed the Demon Forest and reached the edge of the Demon Beast Forest.
At the request of Shangguan Ming, everyone slowly landed.
"From here on, we can't continue to fly, otherwise we will become a living target for the monster.
After a short rest, everyone began to walk into the Demon Beast Forest.
We were divided into two groups, Senior Brother Huo and I each led one group, I took the Xiaoyao Sect and the Dan Dao Sect, and Senior Brother Huo took the Starlight Sect and the Spirit Rune Pavilion. ”
In order to hunt demon beasts, and also to see the color, Jin Ziming pulled Wang Mengxue to the front of the team, once Fairy Ye encountered danger, he could help in time.
Four days have passed, there are many masters to open the way, although there are demon beasts to attack, but overall there is no danger, Jin Ziming himself hunted five third-order demon beasts.
As for what others hunted, he was also cheeky to take the blood, and he actually got the blood of thirty-two third-order and two fourth-order demon beasts.
Even if Shangguan Ming killed him, he didn't let it go, although he hated this person in his heart, he couldn't get along with the blood of the beast, especially for the sake of one of them being in the middle of the fourth order.
After seven days of going deep into the Demon Beast Forest, the two teams gathered again.
A mountain peak in the west is horizontal, about seven or eight hundred zhang high, the dangerous peak stands upright, the mountain is full of strange rocks, there are towering ancient trees between the stones, the bark is pitch black, and the branches are strong and powerful.
The huge cliff on the top of the mountain, shaped like a dragon, has a breathtaking momentum, and a "Nine Heavens Milky Way" on the side falls through the clouds and mist.
Wu Lingfeng, who led the way, opened his mouth and said:
"Senior Brother Shangguan, after crossing this mountain, you will arrive at the Medicine Valley."
Shangguan Ming summoned the leaders of the other three factions, as well as five members of the team who had been there, to discuss.
"After this mountain, there is another big mountain in the west, and the medicine garden is sandwiched between the two mountains."
"To the north of the medicine valley is a low hillside with dense trees; To the south is a bush from which we went last time. ”
There were some disagreements in the discussion, and some said that the soldiers were divided into two ways, and they entered from the north and south directions;
It was also suggested that the forces should not be dispersed, but that the whole group should go around to the north, from a small hillside into the valley.
Seeing that he couldn't reach an agreement, Shangguan simply called Huo Lei over, and the two discussed it alone.
"Senior Brother Huo, this time our manpower and strength are far better than the last time.
If you enter from one direction, although the combat power is stronger when encountering demon beasts, it is not conducive to grabbing the elixir to the maximum.
We have brought eight masters of identifying medicinal herbs, we have to make good use of them and get some more precious medicines, what do you think? ”
Horay hesitated and said:
"Okay, Senior Brother Shangguan, just do as you say."
"Okay, let's divide into two ways, I'll take the first group into the valley from the north, and you take the second group into the valley from the south." Shangguan Ming said.
After the plan was made, each of them assigned a person who had been to the medicine valley to inquire about the hillside and the bush respectively, and after about an hour, the two returned one after another, and reported:
"Everything is normal, there are only a few third-order demon beasts on the periphery, and they should be able to be killed quietly."
"There are some third-order and fourth-order demon beasts hidden in the medicine garden, and once encountered, conflicts are inevitable."
Then began to designate the person responsible for the care of the eight medicinal material experts, Wang Mengxue was recruited by Shangguan Ming and protected by Ye Ranyi.
Although Jin Ziming is her nominal guard, in the eyes of everyone, although this miscellaneous servant can kill a third-order mid-stage demon beast, once he encounters a strong enemy in the valley, he is cannon fodder.
In the crowd, except for Fairy Ye and Wang Mengxue, who still had some confidence in him, no one cared about his life or death.
Each of the two groups is assigned four good players with strange body skills and strong fighting ability, responsible for quietly cleaning up the monsters in front of them, trying to kill them with one blow, and putting the demon corpses into the ring.
Everyone changed into black night clothes, and Shangguan Ming began to announce the distribution plan of medicinal materials:
"In principle, whoever picks the elixir owns it.
But after leaving the Medicine Valley, all the disciples except for the miscellaneous servants need to take out the third precious one of the medicinal materials they have obtained and give it to the medicinal material experts in each group. ”
This plan is fair, and everyone nods in agreement.
The team lurked, and when the sun set and night fell, the eight pioneers dived in a north-south direction.
After half a burnt incense, seeing that there was nothing unusual, the rest of the people began to follow up.
The strikers were very good, cleanly taking out the blockers and the sentry to get the first group to the small hill.
At night, everyone looked from the woods to the valley, and they saw a white mist everywhere, and it was difficult to see the scene inside.
Four medicinal herb experts and people from the Dan Dao Sect came to the front to try to detect the location of the precious medicinal herbs.
Happily, even at this distance, and with a fog barrier, they almost all sensed several precious medicinal materials.
Wang Mengxue said:
"Brother Jin, there are golden immortal seedlings and black cordyceps on the periphery of the valley."
Jin Ziming couldn't help but be excited.
Shangguan Ming split the fifteen people into three teams, with him, Ye Ranyi, Guo Zheng, Wang Mengxue and Jin Ziming as one team.
The second team is formed with Qi Hongyao and other three people as the backbone, and the third team is centered on Wu Lingfeng and other three people, and the latter two teams have one more super disciple than the first team, and their strength is quite balanced.
The eight Great Sect Tianjiao hurriedly told the people who were proficient in medicinal materials what they needed, and asked them to help them search for them.
The climax is coming.
