Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Plague of Scorpion Tail
"With this 'water root', the probability of me being able to successfully advance to the demon pill realm has increased by at least sixty percent, and I may be able to use it to obtain the demon bone spirit surname of the water family, it is really a great creation, a great creation!"
"Senior Brother Hu" couldn't hide his joy, and after looking around a few times, he took out a roll of pale yellow rune paper full of runes from the skin bag around his waist, quickly wrapped the so-called "water root", and then carefully put it into the skin.
The spring that used to spew water endlessly, not long after the "water roots" were pulled out, the water column gradually became low, and finally stopped spraying water......
Just as "Senior Brother Hu" was about to leave, a pale black water sword suddenly shot out, and before he could react, he was shot directly through the center of his eyebrows and fell to the ground.
The killer was none other than Lin Cheng, who had been hiding for a long time.
As soon as he looked at the outfits of these people, he knew that they were all demon tails who belonged to the Qingcheng Demon Spirit Tower, and because they practiced more swordsmanship, they were called Qingcheng swordsmen.
Lin Cheng saw the changes in this series of drama surnames very clearly, and he was also shocked in his heart. The demon tail companions who were originally familiar with each other were actually suspicious of each other and killed each other because of a treasure called "Mizugen". Between each other, they seem to be very cold-blooded, and there is no trace of partnership affection at all.
Although Lin Cheng was afraid of causing trouble, he didn't have the slightest fear, and he didn't have a good impression of these people, so he immediately had the intention of killing people and taking treasures.
He never thought that the first time he shot a murderer, it was actually to seize a treasure that he didn't know.
At the moment when "Senior Brother Hu" fell to the ground, there was neither pity nor excitement in his heart, just an inexplicable indifference and the release of a fierce aura.
Several faint fluctuations of telekinesis came, and Lin Cheng did not hesitate to take away the leather bags on the waist of "Senior Brother Hu", Han Ning, and the nameless woman, and left in a long stride.
With Lin Cheng's speed, those Qingcheng swordsmen who were attracted by the Cloud Piercing Arrow couldn't catch up with him at all, and in less than half an hour, they completely threw him away.
......
A day later, on top of a towering tree, Lin Cheng sat in a huge bird's nest with a diameter of one zhang, and took off the three leather bags he had snatched from his waist.
These leather bags are all made of the stomach pouch of the fierce beast tiger deer, because the tiger deer eats a huge amount of food, and the carrying capacity of the stomach pouch is much higher than that of other demon beasts. After being made into a bag by a special method, it can hold things that are dozens or even hundreds of times larger than the bag itself, and it can be regarded as one of the most common Sumeru treasures on the Longze Continent.
Lin Cheng's mental power fluctuated slightly, and the seals of the three leather bags were opened at the same time, emitting an incomparably turbid smell, obviously containing miscellaneous things.
With great interest, he poured the three bags into the sky one after the other. It was found that there were not only a large number of demon spirit beads and gold coins, but also books and jade slips that recorded the secrets of the exercises, as well as various materials, herbs and pills. It can be described as dazzling, with everything.
Of course, what attracted Lin Cheng's attention the most was the culprit that led to the death of the three owners of the leather bags, the "water root" that was tightly wrapped in "rune paper".
Lin Cheng remembered that when the "Senior Brother Hu" pulled out the "water root", the spring that had been spraying water gradually stopped spraying water, as if it had lost its power.
"Mizugen...... Mizune...... As the name suggests, it is the root of water......"
From this, he concluded that this so-called "water root" is a kind of heaven and earth spiritual object similar to the "stone of the mountain root". The "Stone of the Mountain Root" can grow into a mountain, and this "Water Root" will form a spiritual spring.
After getting this conclusion, Lin Cheng couldn't help but be overjoyed in his heart. Because, on the empty island, there will soon be another spiritual object. He was looking forward to what this "water root" would look like in the soil there.
However, at this moment, where you are is not absolutely safe, of course, it is not a good time to sneak into Zhenhaizhu to plant "water roots", and you need to wait patiently, so as not to unknowingly invite disaster.
He left the largest of the three leather bags behind, and packed all the spirit beads, gold coins, and numerous books inside.
As for the other things, they were temporarily stored in two other leather bags, and after being sealed, they were put into Zhenhai Zhu. Then, he jumped out of the nest and continued to walk.
......
In the demon spirit world, the demon spirit beads are divided into four levels: low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and peerless according to their quality, and the exchange rate between each level is one hundred.
The lower grade and middle grade demon spirit beads contain impurities inside. After taking it in the mouth, a small amount of leftover material remains in the mouth.
The high-grade and superb demon spirit beads can be regarded as rare treasures, and there are no impurities, but there is a gap in the purity and content of the demon spirit qi.
The demon spirit beads owned by the three demon tails are all low-quality low-grade demon spirit beads, and there are all kinds of castes, of which the five elements of the caste occupy ninety percent, plus gold coins, a total of roughly one thousand.
No matter how subtle the demon spirit power contained in the demon spirit beads was to Lin Cheng, the value represented by a thousand low-grade demon spirit beads was actually the greatest wealth he had ever seen in his life.
Take his parents as an example, Lin Qinghu is the best hunter in Qingqi Town, and he is fortunate to suffer all year round, and at most he can exchange for fifty gold coins. At the exchange rate of one to one, it is equivalent to fifty demon spirit beads. Coupled with the Red Tassel Guard's income, the annual income will never exceed a hundred Demon Spirit Beads.
Bai Jiu is the deputy priest of the Demon Spirit Tower in Qizhou City, although her cultivation is not high, even if she is a demon tail priest in the Demon Pill realm, she must be polite to her. If there were no additional tasks, it would only be five hundred demon spirit beads in a year.
Therefore, it can be said that Lin Cheng got the wealth that Lin Qinghu was able to earn in ten years and Bai Jiu in two years. Coupled with all those miscellaneous things, it can really be described as a windfall.
......
At night, Lin Cheng dived into a turbulent river and hid Zhenhaizhu in the mud more than a foot deep at the bottom of the river, and then escaped into it with confidence.
He took the "water root" and went directly to the empty island, cut open a hard stony soil layer on the island land, tore open the "rune paper" with the power of sealing, planted the milky white spiritual root into it, and poured the hanging river water.
It's a pity that this spiritual root did not grow like the original "Mountain Root Stone" and the splash of the wood, which was visible to the naked eye, and only stayed quietly in the rubble, not moving......
In this regard, Lin Cheng was not too disappointed.
After all, he had only obtained and triggered this mysterious little world by chance, not a divine object with the power to reverse creation.
If it comes, it will be safe.
Since he bothered to enter Zhenhaizhu, Lin Cheng thought about taking a break and waiting until dawn in the early hours of the morning, and then it was not too late to go out and continue his journey.
The island is full of splashes, silver and fragrant, but they are all flowers and leaves, and there is no fruit. Because, all the Yin Mu Guo were swept away by the little witch Du Cong in those dozen days.
However, these are simply incomparable to the cheerful appearance of the little girl when she wanders and frolicks among the flowers.
The wind blew, and a white dress embroidered with gold hanging on the "Mountain Tree" naturally fluttered for it, and it seemed to be engraved in the mind of the charming and rude appearance, and the laughter of the silver bell seemed to follow......
Lin Cheng lost his mind for a long time under the "Mountain Tree", and suddenly found that the more than ten knots of the Earth King Scorpion Tail that had been discarded under the tree had disappeared, and there was not a single residue left.
"Sure enough......"
Seeing this, Lin Cheng couldn't help but smile, and missed the little witch Du Cong even more......
Suddenly, an almost imperceptible fluctuation came, Lin Cheng felt a foreign object moving behind him, and when he turned around suddenly, he saw a slender black shadow quickly disappear into the flowers, and hid it.
The black shadow was not something that originally existed in Zhenhai Zhu, but one of the two tails of the two-tailed land king scorpion that had almost killed him and Du Cong.
At the beginning, Lin Cheng only tore and killed the scorpion tail that came with him, and in order to save Du Cong in time, he let the one that came with her escape. It has not been seen since.
For this reason, Lin Cheng was once worried, almost restless, regarding it as a hidden disaster, and always wanted to find out about it, but only by completely destroying it can he be at ease.
But no matter how much you search, the guy is nowhere to be found. And the space of Zhenhaizhu is so vast, it is absolutely unrealistic to search for every space.
Just because Lin Cheng's mind to find the scorpion tail was too heavy, the little witch had an awkward quarrel with him, and for a whole day, he couldn't coax him.
Lin Cheng originally thought that he didn't spend more time with her, so it caused her dissatisfaction.
As a result, after the careful teaching of the little witch, he found that because of the nearly ten years of displacement, the precarious journey of the catastrophe, and the fact that he was carrying a peerless treasure, he had evolved into a very suspicious person, and he remained in a state of high suspicion at all times.
The suspicion was too heavy, which led to an obsession in his heart. The existence of obsession has caused him to gradually become narrow-minded and unable to be tolerant.
This is undoubtedly a huge flaw in the state of mind for the Demon Tail's way of defying the sky, and the legacy is profound and immeasurable.
He is the master of this small world, even if the two-tailed land king scorpion is in the Zhenhai Pearl, he can't help it, let alone a small scorpion tail.
Since this scorpion tail can't really threaten his own safety, why should he have to get along with it, he has to get along with himself, he has to kill it?
As the saying goes, the sea is inclusive, and tolerance is great. The reason why the sea is vast is because it is not afraid of rivers.
In the same way, a truly strong man does not need to eliminate every hidden threat. He needs to be tolerant, to accommodate...... (To be continued.) )
