Chapter 3 The Sandpiper and the Clam Compete for the Fisherman's Profit
Soft and verdant blades of grass spread all over the secret realm, the lush trees gradually became dense, the air became more and more humid, and Shen Xinghui, who was galloping all the way, had gradually entered the depths of the secret realm.
did not promise the "senior brother" to wait for him in a safe place, but left a secret message from the spiritual realm private chat mode to the messager known as "senior brother" to agree to meet, and she seemed to smile and move towards the direction she planned.
The hundred-year war for resources is about to begin, and she doesn't trust anyone right now.
An outer junior sister dares to hit the inner disciple with bad intentions, if there is no heavyweight backstage support, it is almost impossible.
Can't blame her for thinking too much, now that she recalls it, there were too many unreasonable things happening in Cangwufeng back then.
The second senior brother will never call himself "second senior brother".
The second senior brother would never say anything to let her wait for him in a safe place.
Scold!
The roars of strange beasts in the depths of the jungle were occasionally heard, and her target was not those, nor was it a mere lion mastiff.
Without the sachet to provoke right and wrong, she worked hard to sneak along the way, even if she encountered rare materials, she did not stop collecting them.
In her previous life, after she recovered from her injuries, she had heard a rumor that there was a thousand-year-old elixir in the opening of the Secret Realm of Alien Beasts that she participated in, but no one knew who was lucky enough to get it.
The location where the elixir came out seems to be near a spring deep in the forest.
The map of the Secret Realm of Alien Beasts has each peak, and the distribution maps of refining materials, elixirs, and spirit beasts are marked differently on each peak.
And the location of the spiritual spring that is rumored to have a thousand-year-old elixir in the world happens to be recorded in the private collection map of Cangwu Peak.
That spiritual spring once had a special meaning to her.
After she became determined to the demon world, she secretly sneaked back to the ruins of the Cangwu Immortal Sect to remember. During the opening of a certain beast secret realm, I happened to pass by the location of that spiritual spring and got something.
Now she wants to try her luck there again.
She'll have an hour of free time to see if she can get her hands on it.
After the private chat mode was turned on, Shen Xingchui figured out a special usage.
She can repeat the truth tracing clip she just now to the viewer of the light mirror, this kind of clip can't be her normal live broadcast part, and can only use the special task clip released by the system.
Integrating the playback clips in chronological order, she strung together the causes and consequences of the sachet incident into a story.
The maximum repeatable playback time is one hour.
She can call up the replay at any time for others to see.
Flexibly using the goose steps to gallop all the way to the place in his memory, the water vapor was filled, the cool breath came to his face, and through the dense branch gap, Shen Xingzhui seemed to see the crystal water.
Got it.
Shen Xing let out a long breath, his eyes were foggy, his eyes wandered among the trees, but he didn't stay in any specific place, but it seemed to have passed through the time and space of the previous life, crossed the changes of the years, and fell into distant memories.
Unconsciously slowed her pace, she gently approached the spring in the forest that shone with a silver light.
The surrounding grass was flat and soft, just as she had seen it back then, a pool of spring water was clear and bright, and the surrounding environment had hardly changed.
She squatted down and took out a water bladder to fill a bag of clear spring, reached out and picked up a handful of spring water and splashed it on her face, and her spirit was lifted.
The spirit moved slightly, and a strange sensation appeared—it seemed to be the feeling of being peeped at, so he solemnly drew his sword and stood on guard.
"Little Xing'er." The name spread to her ears like Hong Zhong Da Lu, stirring back and forth in her head. It had been so many years since she had heard anyone call her that.
A tall, thin figure stood in the shade of a tree, not knowing how long he had been there.
But as he approached slowly, she felt that the face was familiar and unfamiliar. The angular facial features are resolute and handsome, and the dark eyes are deep and bright, like a starry night sky, and there is a solemn seriousness, with a calm and introverted and unfathomable brilliance.
It's the second senior brother Xiao Xiao······
There seemed to be sadness and joy in his expression, and there seemed to be some deep meaning in his unsubdued eyes.
Before Shen Xingchui could understand what that brilliance was, the profundity disappeared.
"Chirp—"
A sharp weapon struck, interrupting the two of them to look at each other.
A sword stabbed straight into the range where the two of them were, and the sleeves of the black-haired bamboo hairpin's robe flew up, stretched out his hand to break up the sword, and slashed out three sword rays with his backhand, and at the same time turned his head sideways and whispered to Shen Xing: "Be careful." ”
Rubbing his body to chase in the direction of the sword's attack, he dodged and flew away.
There was originally a faint figure in the position where the sword attack was in the distance, but the speed of finding someone chasing was impressive, and the sword scream from the counterattack was even better than his own, as if he was invincible.
The man's figure froze, and suddenly blurred into a cloud of phantoms, and dispersed into the distance. The three sword rays formed different directions, blocking the man's way to escape. He fought hard to block the blow and fled backwards with the force of the blow.
"Stop chasing." Shen Xingchui hurriedly stopped the man who was pursuing, "I deliberately brought him over." Little. ”
Hearing this, the man stood still, turned around and looked at her with annoyance, his eyes seemed to have bright starlight: "Call me Xiaoxiao again, others call me Second Senior Brother, just you call me Xiaoxiao." I'm so shameless! ”
"Xiaoxiao, who made your name Xiao Xiao, I can't call you big." Shen Xing's smile was like a flower, which made Xiao Xiao's steps hesitate for a moment, almost dazzled.
It's only been a while, why can't the third senior sister take their eyes off it.
"What's going on? How did you make such a mess? He glanced at her in disbelief, forced the powerful smile to his heart, and asked angrily.
Her body was stained with blood, and her expression was full of exhaustion, and the edge of the cloud sword was open again and again, and it looked like she had gone through a hard battle.
But the fire in her eyes burned so hot that he was frightened.
"Some people can't sit still, and they will compete for the peak for a hundred years." Shen Xingzhui slowly lowered his eyelids, hiding the burning light in his eyes, now was not the time to talk about this, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "Where's your sachet?" ”
"Here!" Xiao Xiao's slender fingers pulled out a tassel from his robe and handed over a half-new somen sachet.
Shen Xingzhui glanced at him deeply, his eyes flowed, and he couldn't help but smile.
This was done by her, and the second senior brother had never used the sachet given by others.
But the fish with its tail baring doesn't know.
"There is a problem with the insect repellent sachet sent by the girl at the outer gate, and I killed a lot of rioting spirit beasts along the way. You're glad you didn't wear it. Shen Xingshui sighed lightly, and his tone became softer: "I will keep the evidence in the storage bag, and I will return to Cangwu Peak to the master, and let him settle the account." By the way, how did you end up here? ”
Xiao Xiao replied with a smile: "Don't you like the spiritual spring here?" I'll decorate it for you. I also feel like you're going to come here again, and if you're lucky, you'll probably be able to join you. ”
He raised an eyebrow and said, "My luck looks good." ”
"Well, that's good." A meaningful smile tugged at the corner of her mouth.
Shen Xingchui brought the person who called himself "Second Senior Brother" here to confirm that there was really another inside story about this sachet incident.
She has been to this area many times, and she is more familiar with it, so it is convenient to arrange the back hand.
It was an unexpected surprise to take a picture of that figure with a light mirror and meet with the second senior brother.
Her live broadcast today is over in half an hour, and now she suddenly doesn't want to show others the picture of herself and her second senior brother.
Secretly put out the set replay screen, and let everyone see the production process of the two sachets, it will be impressive.
In particular, she marked the eye-catching handwriting on the picture: "Offer a reward of thirty high-grade spirit stones, and find the light blue juice that soaks the Nine Bai Fruit." ”
There will be brave men under the heavy reward, and someone will present the evidence of the nailing of Chu Ling with both hands.
"I just sprinkled Xiao Qi's special tracer grass powder around, if that person is a disciple of Zhufeng, I will know which peak it is when I go back." Her gaze burned, and her lustful light shone blindly.
The elixir powder in her hand was all obtained from the Seventh Senior Sister, who liked to refine some weird things. Just like this tracing grass powder, the person who just ran away is the first person to stick to, and the color that appears from him is different from the color that appears on the body of the second person after he touches the person again.
There are a lot of interesting things that can be deduced from the color.
What she didn't say was that it didn't matter if she wasn't a disciple of Zhufeng, anyway, it would be fun to stick to the good things refined by Xiao Qi.
The disciples of Cangwu Peak knew this.
Xiao Xiao looked at her dotingly and smiled like a little fox who had stolen a fish.
In her last life, she was tired of being burdened by the sachet in the secret realm, and she didn't come to Lingquan, let alone meet Xiao Xiao, so she didn't know how he disappeared later. Then she lost sight in one eye, indulged in grief and anger, and lost her best chance to find him.
This is a new beginning after she is reborn, and she will never let him leave her sight again before she joins him in the spiritual spring.
"What kind of spirit beast do you want to match?" Xiao Xiao's eyelashes moved slightly, and the thoughts in his heart flashed, feeling that the lion mastiff beast hastily set in Cangwu Peak was a little unworthy of his junior sister.
"Slowly, I'll get it for you first." Shen Xingchui was a little helpless, and said in his mouth: "I see spirit beasts now and want to slash them with a sword." Besides, I have killed a lot of spirit beasts, and there may not be any spirit beasts willing to agree with me this time. ”
In fact, this time I came to the secret realm of alien beasts mainly for Shen Xingchui, and Xiao Xiao was not too interested in finding a spirit beast to match. The exercises he learned were different, and the level of the spirit beasts in the secret realm of alien beasts was not enough: "Then let's act when the opportunity arises." When I first came, there was a cave over there, and there were faint fluctuations in spiritual power, I don't know if there was a spiritual thing born, I just thought about pouring some spiritual spring water first, so I didn't go in. Why don't we go over there now? ”
"Okay." Shen Xingzhui was looking forward to it, hoping that it would be the location of the thousand-year-old elixir.
The battle for the Hundred Years of Peak Fighting was imminent, and she suddenly felt that the current level was a little out of her hands. Back to Cangwu Peak, she wants to retreat and practice advanced, Xiao Xiao is about to get married, and she is still on the second floor of the foundation building!
In a moment, they soon arrived at the cave that Xiao Xiao said.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, I vaguely felt that spiritual power was coming out, and there seemed to be a roar coming from the cave.
Shen Xingzhui and Xiao Xiao glanced at each other.
"Go in and have a look, and tread carefully."
The winding path leads to a secluded place, and it is not too dark inside. After passing through the narrow hole path, I walked inside for a long time before I came to a bright place.
Suddenly, the first thing I saw was two huge sixth-order demon beasts. The black-red Fire Cloud Rhino and the brown-black Demon Spirit Leopard stared at each other, occasionally letting out a roar from between their teeth to intimidate each other.
Not far between the two beasts was a swarthy plant that was not in the slightest attraction, with no petals or leaves, only a bowl-sized bud, and a stunned pestle there.
If it weren't for the fact that the spiritual pressure was emanating from there, it would not have been noticeable at all.
Where the elixir is, there must be a guardian spirit beast.
Shen Xingzhui and Xiao Xiao secretly stopped and watched on guard. It was not yet the moment when the elixir was born, but the atmosphere between the two beasts was tense.
They didn't act for the time being, and the two monks in the foundation building period were completely delivering food against the two sixth-order demon beasts.
The two looked at each other tacitly, which meant obviously, let's wait for it first, and then see if we can pick up something cheap.
I don't know how long it took, the pressure of the spirit plant gradually increased, and the large flower bud at the mouth of the bowl gradually bloomed a crack. The rich fragrance gradually filled the entire cave, and the roar of the beast was faintly heard outside the cave entrance.
If it weren't for the superimposed suppression of the Fire Cloud Rhino and the Demon Spirit Leopard, the demon beasts outside the cave would have rushed in.
The Fire Cloud Rhino and the Demon Spirit Leopard roared and attacked each other, and the mountain shattered and the echo was deafening. Both beasts wanted a quick victory, and they knew that the longer they delayed, the more likely they would be waiting for a higher-level uninvited guest.
The smoke and dust rolled, blood burst out, and the attacks of the two beasts became more and more fierce.
When Shen Xingzhui and Xiao Xiao came in, the two sixth-order demon beasts naturally noticed it immediately. After weighing the cultivation of the two monks, the two beasts did not think about these two small low-level monks. Their opponents are each other, and it is not surprising that the little friars are in a good mood after grabbing the elixir for a while, and they can eat them in one bite and make a tooth sacrifice.
The struggle between the two beasts is at a stalemate.
A small silver figure flashed from the entrance of the cave, swept past the two beasts that were biting with lightning speed, and disappeared into the mouth of the cave.
Not to mention Shen Xingzhui and Xiao Xiao at this speed, the two scarred beasts that were so bloodied all over the ground seemed to be stunned.
The fully bloomed flower house is gone, and only the lonely, blackened branches remain.
The two beasts went mad.
They rushed to the mouth of the cave in a rage, and only one giant beast could pass through the smallest part of the hole, and the bodies of the two beasts were crowded side by side in the most crowded part of the hole, and they almost fought again.
It was still the more powerful Huoyun rhinoceros that slammed into a rock cave and squeezed out of the hole first.
Then, the narrow beast eyes of the demon spirit leopard flashed a hint of cunning, and he paused slightly. Thunder breath burst out from the beast's mouth, blowing Shen Xingzhui and Xiao Xiao who were hiding behind the boulder out at once.
The Demon Spirit Leopard missed a blow, and was in a hurry to chase the thief, so he didn't care about the two people who blew up, and rushed out of the cave without looking back.
