Chapter 18: Gathering Spirit Grass
After a day of cultivation, Luo Yan got up again in the morning to set off, but was stopped by Xu Pang on the side.
"Hey! Luo Yan, let's act together today! Take care of each other! ”
Luo Yan looked at Xu Pang's appearance, how could he not know what Xu Pang thought in his heart, that is, he knew that there was a stone armor bear nearby, and he was afraid that one person would not be able to deal with it, so he wanted to pull Luo Yan, so that when he couldn't run, he could also have multiple helpers and multiple means to save his life.
In this regard, Luo Yan didn't care, Xu Pang was still useful during this time, so naturally he wouldn't let him have any accidents, so he didn't refuse, and said with a smile: "Let's go." ”
As soon as Xu Pang saw that Luo Yan agreed, his heart suddenly blossomed, and he took the lead without saying a word.
In the blink of an eye, it was already noon, and Luo Yan stopped at Xu Pang's urging and began to rest.
Originally, he planned to go a little deeper, but the current distance was only on the edge of Xu Pang's previous exploration, and if he didn't explore more today, it would be a waste of time here.
It's a pity that there is a stumbling block around me, and I can't complete the task well, so I want to play.
There's no way, I can't leave him behind, right? How should the sect explain it? It can only be done by Xu Pang.
In this way, the two of them ate something, rested for a while, and finally set foot on the road again.
Along the way, both of them were silent and did not speak. It's not that there is no topic, it's that the situation here doesn't allow the two to be distracted and chat, and if one is not careful, there may be a pit under his feet, and it is really troublesome to fall, so naturally he does his duty.
At this time, Luo Yan, who was walking in front, smelled a faint fragrance of flowers, which was lighter than the stone armor bear guarding last time, and it was estimated that it was a relatively common spirit grass, or it had not yet grown.
Luo Yan turned his head and looked at Xu Pang, who came over with an excited face, knowing that Xu Pang had already smelled it.
"Xu Pang, there seems to be a spirit grass in front of you, we have to be careful."
Luo Yan said, and without waiting for Xu Pang to answer, he turned around and walked over slowly. Seeing this, Xu Pang behind him also cautiously followed, his movements could be described as very light, for fear of causing a movement and provoking the demon beast that he didn't know existed.
Luo Yan, who was walking in front, had already come to the edge of the grass, stretched out his hand, and slowly picked up the blades of grass in front of him, wanting to see clearly what kind of spiritual grass it was.
As a result, he saw a piece of black fluff, which startled Luo Yan, and when he looked up suddenly, he saw a two-meter-tall gorilla, sneering at him, as if he was already the food in the other party's mouth.
I was shocked in my heart, and secretly complained bitterly, why was I so unlucky. Without any hesitation, he shouted: "Run!" ”
Luo Yan immediately pulled Xu Pang, who had not yet recovered his senses, and ran.
And after Xu Pang saw what was behind him, he didn't need Luo Yan to pull it, his legs moved on his own, and with the speed that Luo Yan had already been stunned, he quickly overtook Luo Yan and ran in front.
"I have to say, this guy is really fast to escape."
Luo Yan complained in his heart.
"Luo Yan! What are you doing to provoke this Black Rock Ape! Xu Da in front shouted loudly.
“……”
Luo Yan was speechless, did he want to provoke the Black Rock Ape? I was careful enough, but who would have thought that when I opened the "door", I would meet the main owner? It's crooked, and he can't do anything about it.
"Oh slightly! Roar! ”
The black rock ape behind the two of them let out a series of roars, like the sound of human children being naughty when they were young, screaming and constantly slapping their mouths.
Although there was a naughty sound on his mouth, the majestic momentum on his body was not comparable to that child, it could be described as magnificent, so that the birds and beasts around him, before it could come, had already fled quickly, for fear of harming the pond fish.
This black rock ape is also a low-cost demon beast, which belongs to the wood and soil attribute, which is a bit strange. It has a strong defense like a rock, a speed that is not inferior to other monsters, and a flexible jump ability to move quickly through trees.
So much so that the strength of this black rock ape is not high, but if it is under favorable terrain, it can even kill monks or demon beasts with higher cultivation than it.
It is said that this black rock ape has reached the adult stage, and it can also compete with the martial artist, and if it is in this favorable terrain, I am afraid that the martial artist will not be its opponent.
At this moment, Luo Yan could only rejoice that what they encountered was not a high-level adult Black Rock Ape, otherwise they would not be able to outrun a nimble jumping ape even if they had a hundred legs.
I saw that the black rock ape would crawl and jump on the ground, and then pull the rattan on the trunk of the tree and fly up, moving quickly in this direction.
Luo Yan could be said to be secretly bitter, so he had no choice but to take out the signal flare again and shoot it at the face of the black rock ape.
Seeing the flying firelight, the Black Rock Ape immediately stopped, trying to catch the blow with its huge palms.
"Bang!"
The dazzling flames exploded between the Black Rock Ape's palms, causing a black mark on the gray palm of the Black Rock Ape.
"Roar!"
The Black Rock Ape raised his head and roared, wanting to look for Luo Yan and the others again, but he didn't find any trace of them, so he had to roar again and turn to leave.
When the black rock ape was far away, in a pit in the distance, a compliment came out.
"Luo Yan, you are smart! Use flares to confuse the other party, and then hide in a place where the other party can't see, and make the other party give up on us, wonderful! ”
In the face of Xu Pang's praise, Luo Yan did not say anything, but showed his head vigilantly, observed around for a while, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that the Black Rock Ape was really gone.
"It's good that I wasn't stared at to death by this black rock ape, otherwise it would be really difficult to get out today."
Luo Yan sighed, then returned to the cave and said to Xu Pang, "You guy is running away so fast? How? ”
Luo Yan was a little strange, how could this guy's speed suddenly increase by a notch, as if it was like knocking medicine.
"Ahem! I learned a little bit from my family that can increase my speed, and you have to help me keep it a secret! This is my means of saving my life! ”
Xu Pang patted his chest and said quite confidently.
"Bodyway?"
Hearing this, Luo Yan understood, this guy had also learned the body method, no wonder the speed came up all of a sudden, he originally thought that Xu Pang had hidden his cultivation and had been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, but it turned out to be just a body method.
The so-called body method is also a kind of martial arts, but it is slightly different.
Compared with other offensive martial arts, this body martial art is less powerful and looks useless, but it can't be underestimated. Sometimes, if you cultivate to a high level, the speed is not as fast as the other party, and you can't hit the other party, that is, there is nowhere to be powerful, and you have become a lamb to the slaughter.
Relieved the doubts in his heart, Luo Yan was relieved a lot, at least Xu Pang's cultivation was really inferior to him. Otherwise, it's really terrible, there has always been a guy around me who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, and if he doesn't get along with the other party one day, it's really too exciting.
I secretly planned in my heart that when I returned to Qingshan Sect, he would also turn out his body method and learn to learn.
I didn't study before, it was all because of my own cultivation and dantian problems, martial arts, how much it would consume spiritual energy, if I used it easily and gathered again, it would be really difficult for him at that time, so that he couldn't practice even if he had exercises.
And after he recovered during this time, he thought about improving his cultivation quickly, so he didn't pay too much attention to martial arts. When I came out this time, I felt that body martial arts were sometimes not a means of saving my life.
"Let's go, we'll have to look elsewhere."
Saying that, Luo Yan was about to take Xu Pang out, but when he turned his head, he saw Xu Pang squatting on the ground, as if he was looking for something, very seriously, so that Luo Yan did not bother.
The pit is not very deep, the highest part is two meters, and the lowest part is connected to the ground, and it is completely a pit that slopes down.
The light in the cave was not good, Luo Yan took out a fire fold from his pocket for himself and Xu Pang, lit it and put it aside to Xu Pang, wanting to see what attracted Xu Pang's attention.
Luo Yan took a closer look, and saw a plant with a small body, very small leaves, very green, and a few small red flowers growing on the top, which had been dug out of the soil by Xu Pang at this moment.
"Spirit Gathering Grass?"
After a closer look, Luo Yan immediately recognized that this was the necessary thing for refining the basic elixir, the Gathering Spirit Pill, and it was also one of the goals of their trip, the Gathering Spirit Grass.
"It is said that this Gathering Spirit Grass grows in a dark and damp place with sufficient spiritual energy, and this place is indeed blessed with a good place to grow."
Luo Yan looked at the Gathering Spirit Grass that had been dug out for most of it, and said casually.
"That's right, if I hadn't been mixed with this thing as soon as I came in, I really wouldn't have found out about this, maybe we just left."
Xu Pang looked at the spirit gathering grass that had just been dug out of the soil in his hand, and his face was full of smiles, which could be said to have forgotten the matter of being chased and killed by the black rock ape just now.
Hearing this, for a while, Luo Yan didn't know what to say, lucky and lucky, unlucky and unlucky.
"Let's go, at least I've gained something."
Luo Yan nodded, and after confirming that there were no other items in the pit, he walked out with Xu Pang.
