Volume 4: Test Feather Ninety-Eight: The Adventure of Pipa Ridge (5)
As Tang Ping said, after the five of them left the place where the two demon beasts were hidden, they continued to search in this Pipa Ridge, and the harvest was not small.
The first is the spirit grass, I don't know if it is more suitable for the growth of the spirit grass in this Pipa Ridge or the monks in the sect are usually rare here, although only Yan Xuan can skillfully identify the spirit grass among the five people, but since leaving the cloud bead fruit, Yan Xuan has frequently found good spirit grass here, at the beginning she was also happy to smile, and then she became accustomed to it, many of the spirit grass picked down are high-level, Yan Xuan is not yet used in alchemy, but since he has seen it, he must always bring it back, even if he can't use it now, he can use it in the future.
And then there are demon beasts, since the five people have found a lot of spirit grass, and the color is often good, then it is essential to find demon beasts nearby, this is what makes Lu Pingchuan happy, here you can no longer see those demon beasts that are not up to the grade, but the worst thing you encounter is also the kind of demon beast that has the power of a battle at the lower level, and everyone also found that in this Pipa Ridge, all low-level demon beasts are often born in groups, don't look at a single inconspicuous, but a large group of people rushing up is still necessary to add a little caution and careful response.
Lu Pingchuan rushed to the front every time he saw a demon beast, and when he encountered a difficult Li Jian, he stepped forward to help.
One of the most frightening things for a few people was to encounter a group of fierce demon insects, those demon insects were born like scorpions, crawling all over the ground, but the size was even larger, ordinary as a futon used by a monk when meditating, if it was one, those demon insects poured over like a black tide churning.
At that time, it was Yan Xuan who found a few quite good spirit grasses, and he was excited to go over to pick them, but he was stopped by Li Jian, in Li Jian's induction, the danger near those spirit grasses was no worse than that of the cloud bead fruit.
However, the temptation of the spirit grass is really great, and several people have seen the reluctant look on Yan Xuan's face, although they don't know what the spirit grass is, they can also guess the extraordinary product, since they encounter it, they can't even figure out the details and leave, so they are ready to test what danger there is nearby in the same way as before, Li Jian took the sword first.
As soon as he landed next to the spirit grass, it was like a drop of water falling into a hot oil pot, and the surrounding land suddenly churned, and he saw countless big scorpion-like demon insects breaking through the soil covering the entrance of the cave and constantly drilling out of the hole, and the dense hole was centered on these spirit grasses, and soon a black water-like demon insect surrounded Li Jian in the middle, even so, there were still countless demon insects gushing out of the hole, and the demon insects that surrounded it had been layered nearly half a person high around Li Jian eager to try.
This scene frightened several people, especially Yan Xuan, who frightened her even more, knowing that if she had lost her past just now, it would be really unimaginable.
Although there are many demon insects, Li Jian is not afraid, as early as when those demon insects poured out of the ground, the green bamboo spirit sword in his hand drew a big circle on the ground around the spirit grass with white light, and after the demon insects surrounded, although the number was innumerable, one layer pressed another, but they all confronted him with the circle drawn by Li Jian as the boundary, and they didn't dare to cross the circle to Li Jian.
Tang Ping could see clearly, while admiring Li Jian's methods, she was worried about Li Jian, at this time she had already recognized that kind of demon insects, those demon insects around Li Jian's body were called the Phantom Tiger, in fact, it was a very powerful big scorpion, this kind of big scorpion burrowing in groups, there must be a huge nest of them under this land, and ...... Thinking of this, Tang Ping looked at the futon-sized scorpion in his eyes again...... The more powerful the scorpion in this underground nest, the more downward it lives, and now this part of the ground seems to be scary, but the real danger is actually lurking underground.
It's better to let Brother Li fly back quickly, otherwise if the powerful guy underground crawls out, I'm afraid that the five people are really difficult to deal with, and the toxicity of this ghostly tiger is also extremely strong!
She was just about to open her mouth to recall Li Jian, but Qian Chao beside her spoke, but it was Yan Xuan who asked.
"Sister Yan, how long will it take to pick those spirit grasses below?"
"This ......" Yan Xuan is a little difficult, just a few spirit grasses, if you want to pick them practically, it won't be long before you pick them, pick them first, find a safe place and take care of them carefully, but her daughter's family is naturally afraid of those snakes, insects and rodents, not to mention these dense, vicious and highly poisonous ones in front of her, but Yan Xuan still hopes to bring those spirit grasses back, so he gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't hurt the rhizome, it's simpler, and a moment is enough." ”
Qian Chao nodded when he heard this, and said, "Okay, I'll give it a try, if the insects below retreat, Sister Yan, you seize the opportunity to pick it immediately." ”
"Okay."
……
Qian Chao's figure floated down, and when he approached Li Jian, he said, "Brother Li, protect your ears." ”
Only then did he think of the deterrent drum he had refined, the book that Ma Hu gave him said that this drum could restrain a lot of demon insects, so today he wanted to try it, he had refined two of this kind of drum, one was given to Ma Hu, and the other was brought to himself, although the drumming had little impact on the monks, but it was better to be safer.
Although Li Jian didn't know what Qian Chao meant, he still protected his ears with his hands.
"Bang" made a soft sound, even if Li Jian covered his ears, he could hear it, and felt that the drum sound had no effect on him, but when the drum came, the dense and dense secluded tigers that were surrounded by layers were unbearable, and the swarm of secluded tigers that had been piled up more than half a person high around Li Jian collapsed at once in the gentle drumming, and even if they were scattered, none of them dared to run into the circle drawn by Li Jian, and they all squeaked and fled to the hole drilled out. Once they got into the hole, they didn't dare to get out again, and there were a lot of them because the hole was small, and a few secluded tigers couldn't get in, and they made a black hill at the entrance of the cave.
Li Jian, who was standing below, was the most surprised one, I really didn't expect Brother Qian to take out a small drum and scare the demon insect to flee in all directions, just as she was surprised, a red shadow fell from above, it was Yan Xuan, she was so surprised to see these without waiting for Qian Chao to signal herself, she immediately came over to pick those few spiritual grasses that made her happy.
Tang Ping also fell down from above and said, "Sister Yan, hurry up, there are more powerful ones underground, the small ones have run away, and the big ones are about to come out." ”
Lu Pingchuan, Tang Ping and Li Jian surrounded Yan Xuan, who was picking spiritual grass, in the middle to protect her, while Qian Chao still held the drum and hung above the four of them.
Tang Ping was right, there were still nearly half of the ghostly tigers on the ground who were desperately burrowing into the hole, and when Yan Xuan only picked a spirit grass, the four people standing on the ground all noticed the vibration from the ground, and the vibration came from below and got closer and closer to the ground, which made the three people on guard more nervous, and also made Yan Xuan's hands speed up even more.
Qian Chao also noticed this abnormality, in order to prevent the underground guy from coming out of Yan Xuan, Qian Chao flicked his fingers lightly above Yan Xuan's head, and there was a "bang".
He had seen Li Jian's situation before, and knew that the sound of the drum seemed to have no effect on the monk, so he dared to do so.
After this drum sound, those ghostly tigers on the ground who still haven't had time to drill into the hole seemed to be crazy, and they didn't care about drilling into the hole anymore, so they scattered and fled far away, and at the same time the vibration from the ground seemed to stop abruptly, but then it became more violent, in Li Jian's induction, those guys from the underground were shocked by the second drum sound, and many guys immediately hibernated and didn't dare to make any more moves, but some of the more powerful guys who were not afraid of this drum sound were alarmed.
The ground trembled slightly, a total of three spirit grasses were born together, and one had been picked, Yan Xuan also knew that it was urgent at this time, seeing that the remaining two plants were almost growing next to each other, she suddenly figured it out in a hurry, she used a medicine shovel to take out a large piece of soil with the roots of the two spirit grasses, and now the two spirit grasses can be taken away, it is better to go first, and then carefully clean up, so when the large ball of soil and the two spirit grasses above were taken away by Yan Xuan, she shouted: "Okay!" ”
The four men on the ground immediately rose to their feet.
Almost at the same time, there was a loud "boom" on the ground, and large clouds of dirt were flying wildly by the force that rushed up from the ground, and several black shadows in the mud and sand shot at the four people who had just risen up.
Almost at the same time, the drum in Qian Chao's hand was sounded by him again, just now when the warning Qian Chao was holding the drum with his left hand, the vibration from the ground let him know that the real danger was coming, so his right hand changed a few tricks before the knock, and finally the thumb buckled the index finger, at this time his right index finger was already shining, and when the underground soil and rocks collapsed, the right thumb moved, and the buckled index finger was played on the drum surface.
There was a "bang", and unlike the previous two beats, this time an abnormal spiritual power fluctuation spread rapidly along with the sound of the drum.
The black shadows in the flying mud and sand were shocked by the sound of the drum, and they immediately delayed a lot.
And after Qian Chao knocked this time, his face turned pale, and there were faint signs of instability in the aura of his whole body, but Lu Pingchuan saw it, and flew up as soon as he pulled Qian Chao.
Li Jianfei was in the end, it was like this in the past, by his palace, and therefore one of the black shadows was almost in front of him, if it wasn't for the drum, Li Jian almost had to dodge to avoid being stabbed by that thing, and now that thing was blocked by the drum, Li Jian didn't even think about it, with a wave of his right hand, a white light flashed like a practice, and the "click" slashed the attacking thing.
It's so tenacious, after cutting that thing, Li Jian actually felt a slight numbness in the tiger's mouth on his right hand, and he didn't expect that the counterattack of that thing was so strong!
Dangerous and dangerous, several people finally flew into the air.
"How are you?" Tang Ping couldn't help but ask worriedly when she saw Qian Chao's face.
"It's okay, it's just that the last loss of aura just now was a bit much, just find a place to rest later." Qian Chao's complexion was already slightly better at this time.
"What a big scorpion!" Lu Pingchuan next to him shouted.
A few people looked down, and sure enough, there were seven or eight big black scorpions the size of a large square table where a few people were standing just now, and they seemed to be annoyed that these people could escape.
It's just that one of these big secluded tiger scorpions is extremely irritable and unwilling, and the end of its long tail is brushed and bare, and it was it that finally hit Li Jian's sword, and its tail was cut off by Li Jian.
These huge Hidden Earth Tigers made several people's scalps tingle a little, and they felt a little palpitating when they thought of the risk they had just taken.
"Sister Yan, I see that you are reluctant to leave when you see that spirit grass, what kind of good things are these plants?" Tang Ping asked.
"Naturally, it's a good thing," Yan Xuan was also scared for a while, but after the spirit grass arrived, she now looked flushed, and seemed to be very excited, "Do you remember the scroll of vine flowers we got earlier?" ”
Naturally, I remember that among the few people, probably except for Lu Pingchuan, they all knew what the biggest use of that scroll of vine flowers was.
"Could it be ......" Tang Ping was a little stunned.
"Curly vine flower, silk fairy grass, secluded lotus, seven sons of angelica, and lotus grass are the main flavors of spiritual grass used in refining Zhuji Dan, and what we just got is the Ruilian grass!"
After speaking, Yan Xuan also cherished the large ball of soil hanging beside her, and the two spiritual grasses on it were green and beautiful.
Several people suddenly stopped talking, and they all stared at the lotus grass, they really didn't expect that Zhuji Dan had a few main ingredients, and now the five of them have already found two flavors when they go out a few times.
"It's worth it!" Li Jian said.
