Chapter 178: Heavenly Medicine Valley, Blood Peony
The bright moonlight spread out like a layer of silver veil, shrouding the mirage, and the night wind howled, mixed with bloody gas, filled with blood, adding a bit of blood to the moonlight.
The shrill whistling of bats echoed, and on the mirage, many warriors stood up to meet the enemy and fought with the bats.
This is not an unusual thing for the people of the Pilot Division.
In the process of escorting goods, there are often various dangers, and encountering strange beasts is the most common of many dangers.
Everyone is in a hurry to protect the goods and drive away the bats, but the number of bats is too large to be completely expelled for a while.
"With such a large swarm of bats, there must be a bat king, as long as the bat king is killed, this bat swarm will naturally disperse."
Liu Yunfei was well-informed and experienced, and immediately said.
When Ning Xiu heard this, his sharp eyes scanned the bat group, although it was night, but the moonlight was bright, and his eyes were also extraordinary, after scanning around, he soon found that there was indeed a bat in the bat group.
It was an adult-sized bat with blood-red eyes and, more importantly, a hideous ...... Faces!
Human-faced bats!
Ning Xiu had obtained an atlas of various exotic beasts in Ouyang's family, including a record of human-faced bats.
It is the same as the red-scaled snake that has become a python in ten years, a hundred years in a hundred years, and a thousand years into a dragon.
This human-faced bat is a strange beast that the blood bat evolved after absorbing enough human blood, and its strength is comparable to that of a liquid realm martial artist.
It can even grow to the Yuan Sea Realm.
After discovering this human-faced bat, Ning Xiu stepped out, and his figure tore through the night sky like a knife light, rushing into the bat group, surrounded by true qi all around, turning into a sea of yuan and surging out, and one by one the blood bats burst by themselves after touching him.
"The Exotic Reclamation of Vegetable Skeletons"
After the human-faced bat found out that Ning Xiu was coming, the strange human face actually showed a frightened look, flapping its wings to escape, and even let out a sharp whistle, causing the surrounding blood bats to converge towards it, forming a wall of flesh and blood.
But all its actions were in vain in front of Ning Xiu.
Ning Xiu slashed out with a knife, and a huge sword shadow of nearly ten zhang condensed out of thin air, directly cutting the wall of flesh and blood in front of him, along with the human-faced bat, into half, and the other party's body comparable to gold and iron was the same as the paper lake in front of him.
A large amount of blood rain mixed with the bat's internal organs fell in the air.
Under the moonlight.
Ning Xiu stood with his sword, and the rain of blood sprinkled all around him, although he was isolated by his true qi, it still seemed to coat him with a layer of blood light in the haze.
The crowd looked at him with awe in their eyes.
"Is this the strength of a true disciple? Amazing! ”
"He still looks so young."
Even Liu Yunfei couldn't help but admire.
He could also kill the human-faced bat, but to quickly determine the location of the human-faced bat among so many blood bats, and kill it surrounded by blood bats, he asked himself, he couldn't do it as easily as Ning Xiu.
"In a short period of time, he seems to have grown a lot."
Liu Yunfei muttered.
After killing the human-faced bat, Ning Xiu put away his knife, and the rest of the blood bats dispersed one by one under Ning Xiu's murderous aura after the death of the Bat King.
The mirage returned to calm, and everyone began to clean up the pieces.
Ning Xiu looked at the human-faced bat corpse on the ground, plucked its mouth open, and found that there were sharp fangs inside, and green venom was still dripping on it.
The human-faced bat, the evolution of the blood bat, in addition to retaining the same blood-sucking characteristics as the blood bat, can also manipulate a large number of blood bats, in addition, while sucking blood, it can also inject poison into the target, causing people to die in madness.
Ning Xiu thought about the records in the atlas of strange beasts, and then pulled out the fangs from the mouth of the human-faced bat one by one, intending to study this bat poison.
Speaking of which, he hadn't studied the poison tract in a while.
This is not good, although my cultivation is high, but the poison cannot be left behind, I have to keep pace with the times and constantly update.
Ning Xiu thought to himself.
"Brother Liu, how long is it until the Heavenly Medicine Valley arrives?"
"Well, it's probably two days away."
Ning Xiu nodded, and for the next two days, he stayed in the room and did not come out, studying the effect of bat poison.
Two days later.
Ning Xiu stared at the two dark circles under his eyes and walked out of the room and yawned.
Liu Yunfei was a little surprised when he saw him, "Brother Ning, haven't you slept well?" Such a big dark circle? ”
That's not right.
When it comes to their cultivation, even if they don't rest well, it won't be like this.
"Sleep well? I haven't slept at all, I've been studying the poison of the human-faced bat for the past two days, and I've tried dozens of methods to maximize its toxicity. ”
Ning Xiu said, taking out a snow lotus and eating it.
Under the influence of Snow Lotus, the energy he had consumed quickly recovered.
"Tsk, Brother Ning, you're too hard."
"Are we there?"
"Here we are."
Ning Xiu followed Liu Yunfei to the deck, and saw a valley from a distance, the valley was shrouded in clouds and mist, like a blessed land of immortals, and more importantly, Ning Xiu also sensed the rich aura around him.
It is no worse than the three core peaks of the Shura Sect.
In addition, as the mirage approached, Ning Xiu noticed that the valley was full of life, lush and green, with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants growing.
Some medicinal herbs that are rare in the outside world can be found everywhere here.
When someone saw these medicinal herbs, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and it would be worth the trip if they picked a few plants at random.
But Ning Xiu said to Liu Yunfei: "Tell me to go down, and after landing, let everyone not pick the herbs here at will." ”
"I know, the Heavenly Medicine Valley is an important business partner of the Shura Sect, and I will let everyone pay attention to proportion, so as not to lose the courtesy."
"Not only that, but there are a lot of poisonous weeds mixed in these herbs, and if you pick them rashly, you don't know how to lose your life."
Ning Xiu said.
The so-called solitary yang does not grow, and the solitary yin does not grow.
On this day, the medicine valley implied this truth, and there were also a lot of poisonous weeds mixed in the medicinal materials all over the mountains, and some of them were even highly poisonous that sealed the throat with blood.
After listening to the explanation, Liu Yunfei was amazed, and then ordered.
When everyone heard this, they restrained the little abacus in their hearts and didn't dare to mess around.
As the mirage gradually landed, Ning Xiu and the others noticed that there was a mirage outside the valley, and there were other people visiting the Heavenly Medicine Valley?
Ning Xiu was a little surprised.
He took a closer look at the mirage, which had a symbol of a blood-colored peony flower on it, and Liu Yunfei said in surprise: "This is the medicine merchant's blood peony." ”
"Blood Peony?"
"Yes, Blood Peony is a well-known pharmacist in the Southern Region of Houtu, it is said that he is worth a lot of money, and some small sects have to befriend him in exchange for the opportunity to trade various medicinal materials, and ......" Liu Yunfei glanced at Ning Xiu and said strangely: "It is rumored that Blood Peony and Blood Floating Slaughter have an ambiguous relationship in private, and Blood Peony can develop to this point all thanks to the support of Blood Floating Slaughter behind it." ”
Hearing this, Ning Xiu's eyes flickered twice.
Blood Floating Massacre, one of the eight poison kings of Houtu, specializes in smuggling fallen immortals, it is the tumor of Houtu, and everyone shouts and fights on the bright side.
But it is undeniable that the Blood Floating Slaughter is powerful, otherwise it would not have been active for so many years, and it is said that his own cultivation has reached the realm of Tongshen, and he is not even a weak person among Tongshen, and the sect masters of some sects are not comparable.
And some time ago, the younger sister of the Blood Floating Slaughter, Hong Ying, was killed by Ning Xiu for selling Fallen Immortal Powder in the realm of the Shura Sect, and he was hunted down by a bounty because of this.
"It's really a narrow road."
Ning Xiu couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
But with his current strength and identity, unless it was the Blood Floating Slaughter who came over in person, he was not afraid of this Blood Peony.
"The people of the Shura Sect have come from afar, and they have lost their sights."
In the valley, a few people walked out, and the first one was a white-bearded old man, and he said with a smile to Ning Xiu and the others.
Liu Yunfei said: "Under Liu Yunfei, on behalf of the Shura Sect, he came to replace the medicinal materials, and the things that Guigu needs are also here." ”
He took out a list of goods and gave it to the old man, who took it and looked at it and said, "It's not the first time that the Heavenly Medicine Valley and the Shura Sect have cooperated, I still believe in your sect, the medicinal materials that your sect wants have been prepared, come with me." ”
Ning Xiu and the others got off the mirage and followed the old man into the valley.
And Ning Xiu also saw more and more medicinal herbs and poisonous weeds.
There were some poisonous weeds that he had only heard of, which made him a little excited, and he wanted to stay here and study it well.
And when Ning Xiu was observing the Heavenly Medicine Valley, the white-haired old man in front of him was also observing him, and the other party was keenly aware that this team seemed to be Liu Yunfei in charge, but this young man was the real core person.
Although the other party didn't say a word, it could be judged from the aura and the respect revealed when others looked at him.
"Below is the elder of the Heavenly Medicine Valley, my surname is Li, I don't know what to call this son?" Elder Li asked curiously.
"In Xia Ningxiu."
"I see that most of the things that Ning Gongzi has paid attention to along the way are poisonous weeds, and you seem to have a lot of research on poisonous paths?"
"I understand a little." Ning Xiu nodded.
"Heh, although my Heavenly Medicine Valley is established by cultivating medicinal materials, but the world doesn't know that we also have a hand in cultivating poisons, if the son is interested, you can stay here for a few days and discuss it with us."
"If you have business, you won't chatter."
Ning Xiu smiled, although Elder Li's suggestion made him quite excited, but now that he was on a mission, he really couldn't let his temperament come.
"It's okay, when Childe wants to come, I welcome it in Heavenly Medicine Valley."
Soon, Ning Xiu and a few people came to the depths of the valley, where there are pavilions towering, people come and go, quite lively, and in front of some pavilions, there are also patches of vibrant medicinal fields, the breath of medicinal herbs permeates the air, filling every corner, forming a unique atmosphere of the Heavenly Medicine Valley.
Under the leadership of Elder Li, they came to a pavilion, and there were a lot of medicinal herbs piled up here, which was the purpose of Ning Xiu and the others' trip.
When Liu Yunfei asked people to check the medicinal materials, a few people walked not far away, led by a woman dressed in red and with outstanding appearance.
The jade legs are slender, the waist is like a willow, and between the looks of the eyes, it is charming and colorful.
And the other party's charm carries a sense of wind and dust.
It reminded Ning Xiu of a person.
Red cherry blossoms.
If you look closely, this woman's eyebrows are somewhat similar to the red cherry blossoms.
Ning Xiu had already guessed the identity of the person who came.
"Elder Li, we have already counted the medicinal materials, if there is no problem, then we will leave first, hey, these people are ......"
Blood Peony suddenly noticed Ning Xiu and a few people, and when she saw Ning Xiu's face clearly, Blood Peony looked stunned, and her eyes gradually became cold, but she didn't have a seizure, but looked at Elder Li and waited for his explanation.
"These people are from the Shura Sect, and they are here to replace medicinal materials just like you, the blood boss." Elder Li explained.
"This son is so good-looking, I don't know what to call it?"
Blood Peony looked at Ning Xiu and asked.
"Ning Xiu."
"Ning Xiu, a familiar name, I remembered it, some time ago there was a reward on the black market, it was Ning Gongzi you, 300,000 gold yuan, Ning Gongzi, your head is valuable, when you go out, be careful."
"What, is Boss Blood also interested?"
Ning Xiu said with a smile.
"Ning Gongzi laughed, how could I, a businessman, do that killer's business, I have other things, so I will leave first."
After the blood peony finished speaking, he turned to leave, and next to her, a strange man dressed in black, with a slender body and a lot of fluff on his face, glanced at Ning Xiu deeply, and the blood in his eyes seemed to flicker twice.
And Ning Xiu felt a familiar aura on the other party's body.
It was the breath of a human-faced bat.
It was as if the man in front of him was a human-faced bat in human skin.
"That person, it's not simple."
Liu Yunfei looked at the backs of the Blood Peony and frowned slightly.
Just now he accidentally glanced at the man, and at that moment, his hairs stood on end, and he shuddered.
"It's really not simple, his aura is similar to a human-faced bat, and his appearance is strange, some non-human, it should be a beast warrior who has absorbed the blood crystal of the unpurified human-faced bat and turned into a beast." Ning Xiu guessed.
"Most of the beast warriors have distorted human nature, extremely strange and terrifying, there is such a person around this blood peony, and this woman is also very dangerous." Liu Yunfei glanced at the sky, and said, "Brother Ning, it's getting late, why don't we rest here for one night, and then return after this blood peony has completely left?" ”
"It's fine."
Ning Xiu nodded and agreed with Liu Yunfei's opinion.
And suddenly.
A roar sounded not far away, and I saw a pavilion, bursts of black smoke coming out, Ning Xiu and a few people looked over, but Elder Li was surprised and said: "Don't worry, this is someone in the alchemy furnace, this is a common thing in our Heavenly Medicine Valley." ”
Most of the Heavenly Medicine Valley are pharmacists, alchemists, and the alchemy fryer is like a commonplace for them.
In the black smoke pavilion, a ragged figure with a face covered in soot pushed open the door and walked out, while Ning Xiu looked at the person, only feeling a sense of familiarity, a little surprised, "Hey, is it ......?"
