Chapter 11: The Glen

"Senior Brother Pang, I'm going to ask you to take care of Xiaohong again this month." Zhou Huan said with a slight smile.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it, you guys go." Pang Zhengyuan said with a big grin, still playing with Xiaohong.

After touching Xiaohong, Zhou Huan and Fangzheng went to Fang Market again.

This is Zhou Huan's fourth trip to Changqingfang City. Like the previous times, Zhou Huan and the others collected materials near Lishui Stream in the first few days, and rested in the inn where they often stayed at night.

"Senior brother, if we follow the progress of you and me at this time, I'm afraid that by the end of this month, the accumulated spirit stones will not be able to buy a flying magic weapon." Fang Zheng said with a straight face.

"That's true, our remaining spirit stones plus this month's are still a lot worse." Zhou Huan thought about it and said.

In the past year, Zhou Huan and Fangzheng have been here three times before, and the low-level spirit stones exchanged in Fang Market add up to about thirty in addition to the cultivation consumption. And the lowest-level and most common wooden boat magic weapon also requires more than 100 low-level spirit stones, and the difference is still very large.

"I don't think it's okay to continue in Lishui Stream, let's go to the streets and ask if there are any other good places." Zhou Huan and Fang Zheng discussed in the guest room for a while, and then walked out of the inn.

The two of them wandered the streets for a while, and from the conversation of the monks who were setting up stalls and trading around them, they heard a number of places, but they were not sure where to go. After thinking about it, Zhou Huan walked to the stall where he inquired about the news when he first came to Fang City.

Sure enough, the monk was still selling his spirit grass at the stall, talking to the monk in front of the stall, and when he saw the two of them, he waited on the sidelines.

After a while, the stall owner Dahan reached a deal with the monk in front of him, and accepted the spirit stone with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist, I'll ask you about it." Zhou Huan handed out a low-level spirit stone just like last time.

The monk's memory is generally very good due to his cultivation, Dahan looked at the two young monks in front of him, and said slowly: "If I remember correctly, the two Taoist friends have also asked me about things before." This time, I want to inquire about something, but I said in advance that the spirit stone will be charged according to your question, but it may not be a spirit stone. ”

Seeing that Dahan didn't take the spirit stone, Zhou Huan still asked, "Do you know where there are more first-order demon beasts than Lishui Stream?" ”

"Three spirit stones." The big man thought for a moment and stretched out three fingers.

"Okay, Daoist friends can tell me." Zhou Huan frowned slightly, thought about it, and still took out three spirit stones and handed them over.

"Sixty miles north of Fang City and more than ten miles to the east, there is a treasure land, I call it a hidden valley, there are many first-order demon beasts, and occasionally second-order demon beasts are infested." Dahan took the spirit stone, approached the two and whispered, "There are few monks here, and the two Daoists are careful each other. ”

After listening to what Dahan said, Zhou Huan and the others decided to go to Wolf Valley to have a look first, and then walked towards the outside of Fang City.

"Brother Zhou, Brother Fang, are you going out?" After walking a few steps, a crisp and pleasant voice came from behind him, Zhou Huan turned his head to see that Liu Ruling was looking at them with a smile.

"Miss Liu, meet again." Zhou Huan and the others said hello to Liu Ruling.

"It's going to the pear water stream again, let's go together." Liu Ruling said and walked forward.

"Wait, Miss Liu, we're not going to Lishui Stream this time. It's somewhere else, and I haven't been there before, so I'm afraid it's inconvenient to take you with me this time. Zhou Huan said apologetically.

"I won't trouble you, I've reached the fourth layer of qi refining, but it's amazing." Liu Ruling raised her head a little proudly.

"I'm still on the third floor."

"It turns out that Brother Fang has also refined Qi at the fourth level, which is gratifying. Brother Zhou, don't be discouraged, Ling'er believes that you can too. ”

The three of them chatted a few more words, but they couldn't resist Liu Ruling, so Zhou Huan had to take her to the valley together.

Because Liu Ruling's uncle and aunt were afraid that she would run too far, they didn't give her a flying magic weapon. The three of them walked quickly through the forest, and on the way, Zhou Huan also reminded that if there was really any spirit grass she needed in that valley, she should be more careful when collecting it.

There were two times before that I stayed in Nanqingfang City for two months, and Zhou Huan met Liu Ruling many times during the period, and went to Lishui Stream with her, and over time I became familiar with Liu Ruling.

From Liu Ruling's mouth, Zhou Huan learned that she did not go out of Fang City to collect demon beast materials, but to collect spirit grass. And Liu Ruling is extremely talented in alchemy, although she can't refine high-grade pills yet, but according to her own words, it is because she is only seventeen, and she is destined to become a well-known alchemist in Xiling Realm in the future.

After more than two hours, the three of them came to the vicinity of the valley that the Great Han said.

Zhou Huan looked into the distance, the valley was in an east-west direction, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only the narrow mountain pass in the east could be directly passed. The vegetation throughout the valley is tall and dense, and the top of it is covered by a thin mist, making it impossible to see the specific situation in the valley.

"No wonder the stall owner said that few monks came here, and this scene is really difficult to find." Zhou Huan said with some emotion, "Miss Liu, you go to the rear, Fang and I are exploring the way in front, don't lose it." ”

"Don't worry, Brother Zhou." Liu Ruling said with some seriousness.

As the three of them gradually probed into the valley, they did not find much danger. There are many first-order demon beasts in the valley, and they are not too alert, much worse than the pear water stream.

It didn't take long for Zhou Huan and the others to kill several different demon beasts, and Liu Ruling also had a few more spirit grasses in his hand that Zhou Huan couldn't name.

The three of them then prepared to disperse and began their own activities in the vicinity. Fang Zheng said hello to Zhou Huan and went to the north, and Zhou Huan chose to go to the south.

And Liu Ruling also followed Zhou Huan to the south, according to her, in case Brother Zhou Zhou is in danger, she can still help. Zhou Huan smiled helplessly at this, this lively and pretty girl may not have killed half the number of demon beasts she had.

Zhou Huan and Liu Ruling slowly walked towards the depths of the south of the valley, and along the way, Zhou Huan's storage bag had a lot of monster materials.

"Brother Zhou, come and see." Liu Ruling shouted softly to Zhou Huan while pointing to a faint spirit grass not far away.

"What kind of spirit grass is that?" Zhou Huan was a little confused.

"Brother Zhou is so stupid, I'll lend you my Spirit Plant Minutes later." Saying that, Liu Ruling replied with some joy, "This spirit grass is called Silver Frost Grass, it is a rare ice attribute spirit grass, three years long and one inch long, the longest is nine inches, and it greatly enhances the bloodline of the water, soil and ice demon beasts, and for us monks, it is one of the two main medicines of the Dingyan Pill." ”

"Was this spirit grass that Miss Liu was thinking about before?" Zhou Huan asked curiously.

"Yes, the other auxiliary spirit grasses are almost all found, and the two flavors main medicine shop is either not available in the city, or the asking price is too high. Now I've found one. After Liu Ruling finished speaking, she was going to walk forward and pick off the silver frost grass.

"Wait." As soon as Zhou Huan was about to say something, he saw that Liu Ruling had already picked off the silver frost grass, carefully placed it in the jade brocade box, and then put the brocade box into the storage bag.

Zhou Huan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no movement around. Liu Ruling patted the storage bag and said happily: "Brother Zhou, okay, let's go." ”

The two of them were about to turn around and look elsewhere, when suddenly there was a loud cry from the nearby woods, mixed with great anger.

Zhou Huan secretly said that it was not good, and just wanted to pull Liu Ruling to leave quickly, only to see a toothy pig more than six feet tall appear in front of him, staring at the two of them angrily.

The fanged pig in front of him is a second-order earth-attribute demon beast, and the most aggressive on the whole body are the four extremely thick fangs, with rough skin and thick flesh, and no obvious weaknesses, Zhou Huan recalled the details of the demon beast in front of him in his heart, and seeing that he couldn't leave, he smiled bitterly and pulled out the red iron sword.

"Miss Liu, this fang is extremely difficult to deal with, you and I will first work together to consume its strength, and then I will find an opportunity to stop it for a while, you go and call Fang Zheng."

"Okay, just like Brother Zhou said." Liu Ruling was a little nervous, although her cultivation had reached the fourth level of qi refining, she had never dealt with a second-order demon beast since she was a child.

Listening to Zhou Huan's command, the two attached the water attribute aura to the sword, and faced the longtoothed pig that rushed over, flashed and began to fight with it.

After a quarter of the incense, Zhou Huan had more scars on his body, and his own true qi was also consumed by more than half, seeing that although the attack of the longtoothed pig had slowed down, there were only some shallow marks all over his body, and the secret path could not be dragged on any longer, so he shouted to Liu Ruling that it was now.

Liu Ruling lacked experience in fighting with demon beasts, her clothes were also damaged in many places, and her sweat gradually appeared, and when she heard Zhou Huan say something, she stopped the offensive, turned around and went north.

Seeing that he was about to run away, the fangy pig seemed to know who the spirit grass was, so he turned his head and put down Zhou Huan on this side and rushed towards Liu Ruling.

"Miss Liu, be careful." Zhou Huan shouted, but the longtoothed pig collided extremely fast at this time, and as soon as Zhou Huan carried the water gun technique in his hand, he saw that the longtoothed pig had hit Liu Ruling's back.

I saw that the bracelet on Liu Ruling's hand suddenly emitted a burst of light, forming a cyan true qi shield to block the fangs of the fangs, but then several cracks appeared on the shield.

Although Liu Ruling was fine, she was knocked unconscious.

Seeing that the fangy pig was about to collide again, and felt that the shield around Liu Ruling might not be able to block it for the second time, and it might be life-threatening, Zhou Huan gritted his teeth, said secretly, and began to use the true qi in his body with all his might.

In an instant, most of the gray qi accumulated in Zhou Huan's body this year was activated by him, and it converged towards the water gun in his left hand.

I saw that at this time, the water gun was more than one foot long, and suddenly became more than seven feet long, and under the traction of Zhou Huan's divine sense, it was shortened to more than two feet, and the whole body became a blue color, and there was a colorful light around it.

only heard the death of the evil animal, and the water gun in Zhou Huan's hand shot at the back of the longtooth pig who was about to collide again.

At this time, the fangy pig felt the extremely dangerous spiritual pressure behind him, but it was too large to dodge, and then fell down with a pop, and lost its life.
