This time he entered the thousand-needle pine forest alone, and Qian Chao deeply realized one point, that is, the more dangerous the place, the better things are.

After getting a dark cloud grass, Qian Chao continued to go to the center of the Thousand Needle Pine Forest, now he no longer has to focus on just one spiritual vein, but can follow the rare spiritual grass he found and pay attention to several different spiritual veins in the direction of progress at the same time, the speed is naturally a lot faster, so that all the way down, not only can there always be some gains, but there are also several spiritual veins on the map within the Thousand Needle Pine Forest The trajectory was determined by him.

Soon after the afternoon, Qian Chao in the front was attracted by a sweet smell between his noses, he had a similar experience before, it was when they were just refining the fourth layer of qi in a place called Pipa Ling, Tang Ping found a cluster of cloud bead fruits with a sweet smell smell, that is a good thing for brewing spirit wine, and now in the thousand-needle pine forest, Qian Chao smelled this similar sweet smell again, and couldn't help but move in his heart, although he didn't know anything about winemaking, But this breath is likely to indicate that there is a fruit nearby that can be used to make spiritual wine, and judging by this sweet smell, it should still be that kind of rare fruit, if you find it and take it out to make wine for Tang Ping, five people can benefit, Qian Chao stopped and identified the direction under the heartbeat, confirmed the direction where the sweet smell wafted from, and then looked for it.

Following the sweet scent, Qian Chao traveled a distance, and soon found the source of the scent from the dense pine forest.

In the pine forest, there is a low bush showing a strange fiery red, like a flame, the closer Qian Chao gets there, the more this sweet smell becomes more and more intense, and when he gets closer, Qian Chao finds that the branches and leaves of this low unknown bush are all rare bright red, and then he saw that between the bright red branches and leaves, there are strings of chess pieces-sized, full red and bright fruits, and this rich and incomparably sweet smell is emanating from this bunch of red berries.

This thing is called the red pearl fruit, and the cluster of trees where this fruit grows is called the red branch.

Before going out, although Qian Chao had made up a lot of knowledge about the spirit grass, he still couldn't recognize it when he saw this red berry. This kind of berry the size of a chess piece tastes sweet, but it can't be refined into an elixir or formulated into an elixir, for Yan Xuan, this fruit is useless, not only is it useless, this red pearl fruit itself is toxic, and it is also highly toxic, but for Tang Ping, this red pearl fruit is a rare good thing, as long as the method is appropriate, not only can it exhaust its toxicity, but also can use this ruddy berry to make a high-quality spirit wine, here is one more thing, red pearl fruit is also planted in Tang Bonian's spirit orchard, but it is precisely because of its toxicity, So Tang Bonian has always watched it very closely, even if Tang Ping sometimes sneaks into his spirit orchard to steal some fruits to make wine, he will never be able to get the red pearl fruit inside.

When he saw the red pearl fruit, Qian Chao was not sure whether this thing was poisonous or not, according to his temperament, he wanted to pick one and taste it first, but in the night before entering the thousand-needle pine forest, Tang Ping had repeatedly warned Qian Chao that many of the fruits used by the monk to brew spiritual wine were best not to be eaten directly, and the fruits used to brew low-grade spiritual wine were basically non-toxic, but the fruits used to brew high-grade spiritual wine were not, the color of such fruits would be brighter and the taste would be sweeter, but many of them were toxic, and the higher the grade, the stronger the toxicity. Tang Ping thought that there must be a lot of high-grade spirit grass in this thousand-needle pine forest, and there was a high probability that the fruits of brewing high-grade spirit wine could also be found in it, she could recognize those fruits, but Qian Chao may not, so she reminded him very carefully. In addition, the closer Qian Chao got to this cluster of red pearl fruits, the sweeter the taste became, and when he came to the front of this red pearl fruit, the taste emitted by this fruit had reached the point of being sweet to the point of greasy, and it went straight to Qian Chao's brain, which made him start to be careful, and remembered Tang Ping's warning, so he couldn't help but pick one off and put it in his mouth.

With the experience of picking dark cloud grass, Qian Chao arranged his Lock Spirit Array around this bright red low bush, and the scope was wider than the last arrangement, so that he was more at ease.

Before picking this red pearl fruit, Qian Chao first took out a glove and put it on his hand, which was given to him by Tang Ping, the gloves are leather, I don't know what kind of monster beast leather is made of, it is very light and soft, and it does not affect the movement at all when wearing it on his hand, Tang Ping said when he gave him the glove, the more beautiful the fruit, the stronger the toxicity may be, maybe he doesn't need to eat it, and he may be poisoned when touching it with his hands when picking, so if he encounters a good-looking fruit, Qian Chao wants to pick it, then it is best to wear it.

After everything was ready, Qian Chao reached out and plucked a ruddy red pearl fruit from the red branch, looked at it carefully in front of him, and sniffed it on the tip of his nose, and then put it into a black wooden box given by Tang Ping.

About a tea time later, half of the delicate black wooden box in Qian Chao's hand was already filled with red pearl fruits, and the surroundings had been quiet during the process, Qian Chao looked around while picking, he always felt that this kind of berry in front of him was unusual, there should be some demon beast guarding it, just when most of these red pearl fruits entered his wooden box, there was finally movement nearby.

There was a tremor from the ground with a thick layer of pine needles and fallen leaves under his feet, and immediately there was a sound of falling snow in the pine forest, I don't know how many needles fell from the branches because of this tremor, and a lot of needles also fell on Qian Chao's shoulders along the wind, his hand was stretched out, and a string of bright berries in front of his fingertips also shook from side to side.

This tremor should come from the depths of the ground, Qian Chao no longer cares about the upcoming encounter, although there is no Li Jian's induction, but when the tremor came, Qian Chao still made sure that his feet were safe at the first time, and the guy who caused this ground tremor would be on his side even if he broke through the ground, thinking that the guy was not willing to destroy this red fruit.

First, Qian Chao already had experience, and secondly, he was prepared, so even if his feet trembled, he reassured himself while looking sideways at the movement while reaching out to continue picking the fruit on the bushes.

Soon the tremor stopped, but the feeling on the soles of Qian Chao's feet told him that it seemed that some behemoth was swimming underground, and it had come to a position not far from Qian Chao's feet to lie dormant, and after the tremor disappeared, the vicinity entered a strange calm for a while.

But the calm was soon broken, and suddenly there was a loud rumble in the violent vibration, and a few tall pine trees with the thickness of a bucket growing more than ten zhang away on the side of Qian Chao were instantly lifted by the huge force from the ground, and the roots and trunks of the trees and the lush canopy rolled upwards and flew away, and under these pines it was like a huge wave of mud and sand rising to the sky. Then the mud, sand and stones began to pour down like rain, in order to protect the clump of red pearl fruit in front of him, Qian Chao also put the two big shields side by side on the top of the red branches, and he also hid in it, and the sound of banging above his head was endless, but fortunately, the strings of round and bright red red red red red fruits under the big shield were safe and sound.

When the monster in the mud and sand rushed out of the ground, there seemed to be a rapid and piercing roar, but it stopped abruptly, the reason is very simple, when it was underground, this guy was not affected by the Qian Chao Formation, but as it rushed out of the ground and entered the range of the Soul Locking Array, all of a sudden the aura was drained cleanly, and the roar ended as soon as he spoke, not only that, but even the momentum of this guy's rise to the sky disappeared immediately, The stout and round body fell down from the flying mud and sand because of the loss of spiritual energy.

With a loud "boom", the figure of the demon beast slammed heavily on the ground, and the dirt and gravel that fell one after another at this time still made Qian Chao unable to see the true face of that guy.

Qian Chao glanced at it, there was a formation, he naturally felt that that guy should have no strength to resist, at this time the mud and sand fell like rain, he looked at the few bright red fruits left, and continued to reach out to pick.

After carefully putting the last ruddy berry into the wooden box, buckling the lid and then putting it into the storage bag, the earth and stones stirred up by the demon beast nearby were almost gone, not only the two big shields on the top of Qian Chao's head accumulated a thick layer, but the guy's body was almost completely covered by the falling branches, leaves, soil and stones, Qian Chao thought that this guy should be another harvest for himself, so he walked towards the head of the demon beast, ready to kill it and put it in the storage bag.

But at this time, the head of this monster beast was buried and covered by the earth and stones that fell from the sky, and Qian Chao couldn't see the appearance of this guy even if he got closer, he only felt that this thing was like a giant snake and like a clawless monster dragon, which made Qian Chao have some familiar feelings, he stopped and looked carefully, the round body of the thing fell to the ground like a giant tree that only six or seven people can hug, and the rest of the body was still in the ground and did not come out, which was a troublesome thing.

The more he couldn't see clearly, the more curious Qian Chao became, he leaned over the head of this thing and simply reached out to clean up the broken branches and rocks covered there, and then he recognized the demon beast in front of him!

The dirt is half-hidden, this demon beast has a hideous and ugly face, the head is not only covered with thick black scales, but the head is also uneven and full of sharp needle-like craggy protrusions, the most eye-catching thing is that there is a sharp horn close to two feet in the middle of its forehead, which is thicker than Qian Chao's legs and feet. When he saw this, Qian Chao had already vaguely recognized this guy, he suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and used his hand to remove the mud, sand and stones near its eyes, and then he found a black and yellow pupil like a big hourglass staring at him, Qian Chao was almost shocked to take two steps back, and then settled down, took a deep breath, and found a black dorsal fin as sharp as a serrated blade on the back of the guy's head and on the back, which was often submerged in the soil along the guy's body.

This is...... Hachiyanagi?

To be exact, this guy is a willow beast, as early as when Qian Chao and the others' cultivation had just broken through the fifth layer of qi refining, the five of them met the willow beast on their way to Ruixuan Town for the first time when they passed through a place called Sha Willow Mountain, and the experience was very thrilling, and the five of them worked together to barely suppress that guy, but just when everyone thought they could breathe a sigh of relief, Li Jian suddenly warned that there were seven almost identical demon beasts coming towards the place where the five people were. At that time, as soon as Li Jian's voice fell, a few people found the danger from a distance at the same time, it was indeed a scene where the mountains were broken and the forests were destroyed, like a few earth dragons rushing towards them, and the situation at that time scared a few people away, and then Tang Ping told them that the demon beast was called the willow beast, and the one they encountered at that time only had eight heads, which should be called eight willows, don't look at the several that appeared later, but they are actually a demon beast, its body is only hidden underground, The eight heads on its body protruded from the ground to hunt for blood food, and from the ground, only its serpent-like head and dragon-like body could be seen, which was amazing. And at that time, Tang Ping also told a few partners that Baliu was by no means something they could deal with, they were just a fluke at that time, if the eight heads were together, the five of them would never be able to escape, and if that guy could live longer and regenerate the ninth head, he would have to change his name to Jiuliu, then it would only be dealt with by the elders in the sect.

Now, the huge guy in front of Qian Chao is actually just a head of the willow beast.

Qian Chao didn't know whether the guy in front of him was Baliu or Jiuliu, but he understood that he must have alarmed the rest of this guy's heads now.

At this moment, a rumbling sound came from a different direction in the distance, and Qian Chao's feet began to tremble violently again!
