Chapter 203: The head is parasitic to the tree, and the alchemy is taken for medicine
After the rational and Lao Dao surnamed Ye and his party parted ways, Yu Lie and the two walked in the cave road, and they were faintly relieved on their faces.
However, after only half a cup of tea, Yu Lie's footsteps paused, his heart moved, and he suddenly said:
"Miao Daoyou, if what the old Taoist surnamed Ye said is true, and this place has attracted a lot of Taoists to hunt for treasures and slaves, then in the alienated jungle next door, won't the number of people also decrease?"
Hearing this, Miem's expression was slightly stunned, and she quickly understood what Yu Lie wanted to say.
Miao Mu groaned and spoke up: "Yu Daoyou means that we will not go back to the inner city first, but act according to the original plan and go directly to the jungle?" ”
Yu Lie nodded calmly and arched his hand and said:
"According to Miao Daoyou's explanation, a big source of danger in the outer city is other Taoists. Now that there are more valuable things in this desert, the powerful Taoists nearby will be greatly attracted, while the Taoists who still remain in the jungle next door are either alone or lack of strength.
In this way, although you and I are only two people, it should be okay to wander around in the past. ”
Miao Mu listened to Yu Lie's persuasion, and she was also thinking in her heart, and her eyes gradually lit up:
"Not bad! What Brother Yu said is exact, maybe this is still an opportunity for you and me to take advantage of the scarcity of people in the jungle and make a small fortune! ”
Yu Lie nodded: "Exactly!" ”
In fact, neither of them really wanted to go back to the inner city directly.
This not only delays their time, but also wastes the cost of their journey all the way. And even if they return to the inner city, whether they can find a trustworthy team in a short period of time is a big question.
After Yu Lie's slight adjustment, the two of them immediately changed their minds and decided not to go back to the inner city first, and went straight to the alienated jungle fifty or sixty miles away.
However, they didn't turn around directly and shuttle through the exit just now, but waited underground for a while, waiting for the ground insects to rush from the underground to the alienated jungle next door.
Although this is a bit troublesome and has to consume some money, it is also better than stability.
Soon.
When the two of them came to the part of the jungle, they walked out of the ground.
At this time, what caught Yu Lie's eyes was no longer the Gobi Desert, but turned into a crooked and hideous scarlet jungle.
Inside there are towering giant trees growing, with a strange appearance, they do not look like grass and trees, but more like fleshy arms.
The roots of these giant trees rooted in the ground, or like tentacles, or claws, are strangely spread in front of them, as if they are a powerful ghost that has licked its minions, standing still, waiting for the two of them to pass by, and they will share and devour them.
But when Miao Mu saw this scene, his face was not surprised, and he turned his head to Yu Lie and shouted:
"Brother Yu didn't guess wrong, the Taoists here are really rare, different from the scene in the past."
Mim stepped forward quickly, stretched out his hand and pinched a few handfuls of the wet dirt on the ground, and then beckoned Yu Lie to follow her into the jungle.
Yu Lie saw that although his face was silent, for the sake of safety, he secretly took out a talisman paper from his sleeve, waved his hand and lit it, and blessed his body.
And between walking, there was also a faint wind under his feet, fluctuating, but he didn't directly cast the wind spell.
Miao Mu on the other side turned his head to look at Yu Lie, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes.
Realizing that Yu Lie's preparations for this trip were really complete, her heart was also secretly relaxed: "It seems that this time I went out, not just waiting for this person to travel." I hope he can help later, so that he won't lose too much. ”
As soon as he thought of the Blood Quenching Pill that Yu Lie had promised, Miao Mu's eyes suddenly showed a burst of heat!
If Yu Lie can successfully refine the elixir this time, the relationship between her and Yu Lie can be thickened, and she will be better friends with each other.
Streaming down!
Their robes shook, and they both stepped into the jungle.
………………
The next two days.
First, Yu Lie followed Mim and wandered around the jungle, looking for the alienated plants in the alienated jungle.
After Yu Lie became familiar with the surrounding environment, he gradually became the main one to lead the way, while Miao Mu was responsible for vigilance and action.
This is because Yu Lie, as a person in the Dan Dao, what he is best at is distinguishing medicinal materials, and when he came over, he had already done a certain understanding of this alienated jungle, knew it in his heart, and recorded the habits and preferences of many plant creatures.
Therefore, in the past two days, although there are only two of them, one has goods in his head, the other has been here four or five times, and there are indeed not many Taoists in the jungle, and the harvest of the two is not small.
On this day, they walked briskly through the jungle, and the sound of uprooting trees behind them crackled.
Yu Lie and Miem's faces were full of nervousness.
But after running a certain distance, the two sides looked at each other, and their eyes were full of joy.
They slowed down, and even secretly slashed their palms, causing pure blood to ooze from their palms, and their smell wafted, making the giant thing chasing after them even more restless.
Rumble!
As the distance between the two sides narrowed, a tall tree man swooped out from a burst of twisted trees, striding forward, trampling through pits of the ground, and roaring with greed and rage.
Woohoo! The tree man had no eyes, but in its wide canopy, there hung one head after another, strange shapes, and their faces all showed the same expression, staring greedily at the backs of the two of them.
The Treant Man relied on the parasitism, or rather the heads imprisoned in the canopy of the tree, to see things, and dozens or hundreds of eyes of various colors stared at the two of them together.
Among these eyeballs, there are also Taoists.
The mouth of the Taoist head also made a hoarse and strange cry: "Help, help......"
However, the eyeballs of several Taoist heads have long been unconscious, and their pupils and seven orifices have blood-colored shoots growing out, clusters and clusters, which seem to be moldy but not moldy, which is very peculiar.
In the mouths of nearby Taoists, this kind of tree person is called as a "human head parasitic tree", and there is no official name for the time being.
This demon is huge, likes to devour flesh and blood, and has rough skin and thick flesh, which is not something that ordinary Taoists can deal with. If it is a pure comparison of brute force and mana, basically only a seventh-grade level Taoist can clean up the other party.
Fortunately, the reason why Taoists are valuable Taoists is that they are resourceful and have many strange methods.
Yu Lie and Miao Mu don't have to compete with each other for brute force at all, they just need to attract each other all the way to the traps and nets prepared in advance.
Just such a simple method was enough to increase their certainty of killing this demon tree by more than double, and reduce their losses.
It's just that in the past, the biggest risk of this method is not in the demon tree itself, but in the fact that there is too much movement along the way, and it is easy to attract other Taoists nearby.
When the time comes, the Taoists who attracted the demon tree and set the trap worked hard to beat the tree demon half alive and half dead, but it was very easy to be robbed by those onlookers halfway in the end, and the gains outweighed the losses.
Fortunately, there are fewer and fewer Taoists in the jungle these days, and there seems to be a real opportunity to make a fortune on the other side next door, and the Taoists basically rush to the blood-colored desert.
Yu Lie and Miao Mu fought steadily all the way, until they led the human head parasitic demon tree into the trap, and there were still no idlers around.
Finally, there was a crackling sound, the soil cracked, and the branches broke!
The demon tree ran along, and its huge body sank suddenly, and it fell into an even more huge pit.
And at the moment when it fell, a fire immediately erupted in the deep pit, and a flame rose whirringly, enveloping the demon tree.
At this time, Yu Lie and Miao Mu both froze, turned their heads to stare at the huge demon tree in the deep pit, and their eyes showed excitement:
"Success!" "It's done!" ”
The two of them were not idle, they immediately took out a few runes from their pockets, looked at the demon tree in the trap from the air, and stimulated it steadily and ruthlessly, cutting the root system of the demon tree to prevent the other party from crawling out of the fire pit.
Woohoo...... A huge roar like a cowhide drum sounded, and the demon tree's body was scorched black, and it struggled to kill and strangle the two of them.
But under the scorching flames, it seemed to fall into the mouth of another giant object, and it was being devoured, and it did not have the strength to kill the two of them.
In the end, the dryad could only stretch out an extremely long vine and slam it on Yu Lie and Mium's bodies, trying to kill the two of them.
But Yu Lie and Miao Mu both had a flash of inspiration, and they retreated easily and slipperily, so that the opponent's counterattack blow did not work and failed.
Boom! The huge body of the demon tree fell.
Yu Lie and Miao Mu both had happy expressions on their faces.
After testing in the air and completely confirming the death of the demon tree, the two boldly stepped forward and hurriedly extinguished the fire in the deep pit!
Although this demon tree can move and is shaped like flesh and blood, it is a plant after all, and it is extremely easy to be restrained by flames. In particular, there is a kind of sap in its body, which is like oil and blood, and can easily be burned dry.
This kind of tree night is also the most precious medicinal material for the human head to parasitize the tree, and oral administration can help the Taoist to increase his true qi. Therefore, every time there is an extra breath in the deep pit, it is burning a lot of money.
When the flames in the pit were extinguished, there were still no idle people around.
Yu Lie and Miao Mu stood in front of the pit, and the joy in their eyes was even stronger, and they were completely relieved.
Yu Lie chuckled: "The harvest is not small, it should be the biggest one in the past two days!" ”
Miao also smiled and said, "Exactly." ”
She also stared at the scorched smoke in the deep pit, and said with emotion: "This kind of gunpowder trap is really useful." ”
These words fell into Yu Lie's ears, making Yu Lie slightly stunned, he glanced at the demon tree that fell in the fire pit, and then glanced at Miao Mu who was next to him, and suddenly had a sense of déjà vu in his heart:
"Could it be that this guy is learning from the methods I used last time when I fished by the Blackwater River?"
These methods of digging pits and burning demons, including the fire talisman pasted inside, were not thought of and taken out by Yu Lie, he had to avoid it, and he would not commit such stupid things.
This matter was arranged by Mimm.
Yu Lie didn't guess wrong!
Cold, Miao Mu suddenly, happened to talk about a sentence:
"By the way, why doesn't Brother Yu delve into the Jinshi Fire Method, I heard that this technique is simple and powerful, and even mortals can prepare it. Also, do you know that there are Dan Dao people in Blackwater Town who are good at refining gunpowder? ”
Yu Lie's face did not change, and he even showed a hint of emotion, but in his heart, he actually jumped fiercely.
Yu Lie replied: "The method of gold, stone and fire? The power of such gunpowder is indeed extremely great and enviable. ”
He shook his head: "But since Poor Dao has already chosen the Flesh and Blood Pill Method, how can he covet others?" lest you lose one thing and the other. Moreover, the preparation of this substance is not so simple, and it is by no means something that ordinary mortal children can refine.
Hey, the people in the town who are good at refining gunpowder should be the ones in the instrument courtyard, but the ones in the Danfang are not right. Miao Daoyou has acquaintances in Blackwater Town, will this? ”
Miao Mu inadvertently glanced at Yu Lie, and said with a smile:
"If there is an acquaintance, how can the concubine ask Brother Yu. I just hope that Brother Yu has acquaintances, so that he can buy some cheap and easy to use gunpowder. ”
"That's it!" Yu Lie replied casually:
"When I return to the hotel, I will inquire when the time comes, Song Danqing and the two Taoist friends on the side of the road are more familiar with the people in the town than me, so I have to ask at leisure."
Subsequently, he stopped being verbose and became more and more wrong.
Yu Lie hurriedly strode over to the demon tree and beckoned:
"Take the juice quickly, and the skin and wood core should not be wasted, just for the furnace. With this demon tree, the alchemy consumables are already small, and the poor Dao can open the furnace for alchemy now, or you can get a few pills to see the medicinal effect! ”
When Miao Mu heard this, her eyes lit up slightly, and she also put aside the unwarranted thoughts just now, and hurriedly came to the demon tree, peeling the skin and extracting the juice with Yu Lie.
Although there are not many idlers nearby, this alienated jungle itself is also dangerous, and it is not to stay in the same place for too long.
In just half a cup of tea, the two of them scraped away all the medicinal materials that could be taken from the demon tree.
Not much.
Yu Lie found a secluded cave, confessed, and bowed down into it alone, and began to make alchemy.
As for Miao Mu himself, he was full of expectations, conscientiously protecting the Dharma for the rest of the monks outside the cave, waiting for the completion of the refining of the elixir.
It's only half a day's work.
Yu Lie did not disappoint Miaomu, sometimes bloody in the cave, sometimes fragrant, and soon Yu Lie's chuckle was heard:
"Miao Daoyou, what are you doing outside, why don't you come in quickly and taste Dan with me?"
When Miao Mu heard this, he was overjoyed: "Before half a day arrived, it was already Dancheng." This man really didn't lie to me!
The pill in his ding, it is really only the last step to become a pill! ”
Immediately, Mim rushed into the cave.
At this time in the cave, a huge copper tripod is placed in the center, and the red light in the tripod emerges, and the fragrance is bursting. And there was a black-haired Taoist next to him, holding two red pills in his hands, looking at her with a smile.
Seeing this scene, Miam's face was even more joyful and heartwarming.
