Chapter Ninety-Seven, Stealing Medicine
The ghosts of the mountain ghosts only get up in the middle of the night, and if it were morning, they would not move at all. And if you want those needle worms to appear, you must also ask for the sacrifice of the mountain ghost to summon them. And the herbs that Xu Zhige wants to steal can only be picked when the needleworms pour out of the nest, and this step cannot be wrong in one step, otherwise you won't get the herbs.
"Do you really think...... Can this guy be trusted?"
When Lin Kui was temporarily away, Leo suddenly spoke: "You believe what he says just by meeting once or twice?"
“......”
Jian Xu Zhige didn't speak, and Leo said to himself: "I don't know what you think, but I still have a bit of a human eye for myself, this man...... Something is hidden from us! Critical time...... It's better to make a decision!"
“...... Got it. Xu Zhige nodded, compared to Lin Kui who met for the first time, in fact, he still believed in Leo who was restrained by the War Treasure Book, at least everyone was in the same boat now. And Lin Kui...... To be honest, it's a stranger, and I don't know if I should believe him.
"I'm back!"
At this time, Lin Kui's honest voice came from outside the door, and then the door was pushed open, "I have already done the preparatory work, are you two ready?"
"Anytime!" Xu Zhige stood up and looked at Haichuan behind him with some concern, "Brother Lin, is it okay to leave him here like this?"
Lin Kui sighed and said: "This can't be helped! We are going to help him find medicine now, to put it unlucky, if we can't come back, then he will definitely be hopeless." What does it make if we put it here or not, and if we can get back, then he will be saved......
Leo didn't want to say much, and directly urged: "Then hurry up!"
There was a little more weirdness in the sea of trees at night.
Different from the insects and birds in the morning, at night, it is all kinds of owls and beasts roaring, ghosts crying wolves howling, in the mountain road where the moonlight cannot shine in, Xu Zhige and the two followed behind Lin Kui and moved forward quickly.
"Although I noticed it before, this guy ...... It is still possible to maintain such a fast forward speed in the dark mountain forest......" Leo followed behind, while secretly observing Lin Kui's strength, "The pace is steady, vigorous and powerful, the seemingly slow frequency, but the distance is surprisingly far, this way of moving ......"
Compared with Leo observing Lin Kui's strength, Xu Zhige was surprised by the other party's familiarity with the terrain, from just now to now, Xu Zhige found that Lin Kui not only did not take a wrong step, but even knew what kind of obstacles there would be on the road, even in the dark night with a visibility level of less than one meter, the tree vines on the ground could not step on one. "Proves that he must have been here more than once for this road!"
Knock!Knock!Knock!Knock!
As the distance progresses, the ghost music of the mountain ghosts gradually becomes clear, and the destination is almost there!
"Be careful, the mountain ghosts are very vigilant, there have been cases of pretending to sacrifice and then luring me to make a move, you ran away yesterday, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not bury a trap again today. Lin Kui whispered.
Xu Zhige nodded when he heard this: "You say, when will we do it!"
Lin Kui was very satisfied with Xu Zhige's cooperative attitude, and said softly: "Wait, if they really start the sacrifice, then the needleworm will come out in the second half of the ceremony, and when they all come out, the divine body tree will be empty, and what we are looking for is inside!"
"Is it really that smooth?" questioned Leo.
"Nature...... It can't go so smoothly!" Lin Kui smiled bitterly: "I just said that those needleworms will not come out until the second half of the ceremony, and we have to sneak into the divine body under the noses of the mountain ghosts and needleworms, and then find the medicinal herbs, and then come out again, if there is a little movement in this process that alarms them, then we will fall into the encirclement, under the encirclement of a large number of mountain ghosts and needleworms, do you think we can leave calmly?"
"Besides, time is also a difficult point to grasp, and the time for the needleworms to come out of the nest and return to the nest is only about ten minutes, that is, we only have ten minutes of time to go back and forth!"
"Fight it!" Xu Zhige took a deep breath and calmed down some nervousness.
The sacrifice of the mountain ghosts is underway, and it looks like the same as yesterday, with swords, spears, axes, and axes constantly waving, babbling and screaming, and the green sacrificial fire burning.
After a while, a mountain ghost wearing a bull-headed animal bone shouted, and the obelisk-like sacred tree began to stir, and it seemed that some small animals were squirming inside.
The needleworm has appeared!
And there are very many of them, densely packed together, pouring out one after another, just from the outside, it is really impossible to see that this tree can accommodate so many monster insects.
"No matter how many times you watch this scene, it's so disgusting......," Lin Kui sighed quietly.
In the scene, dense needle mouth insects appeared in the sacrifice field, and then all the mountain ghosts in the field could catch a large number of insects with a grab, and after kneeling down and bowing a few words, the mountain ghosts threw the insects in their hands into the sacrificial fire.
Suddenly, there was a crackling sound, and a foul smell spread.
Leo, who has a more sensitive nose, just smelled it, and immediately turned pale, covering his mouth and not daring to make a sound, but judging from his convulsive face, it can be guessed that this smell must be unpleasant.
"Remember to be careful, these bugs are highly poisonous, and the mountain ghosts like this smell, but for us humans this is almost like poison!"
Leo suddenly scolded angrily: "You wouldn't have said it earlier!"
"Forgot ......"
"The time should be almost there, right?" Xu Zhige hurriedly stopped the two and said, "Do you want to slip over now?"
Lin Kui looked at the increasingly dense poisonous gas in the sacrificial ground, as well as the mountain ghosts who were intoxicated with the poisonous gas tide like addicts, and said softly: "It's almost, everyone be careful of the poisonous gas inside, we only have ten minutes!"
After speaking, Lin Kui took the lead, and was the first to lie on the ground and crawl forward quickly. Behind him, Xu Zhige and Leo both followed.
The three of them cautiously bypassed the sacrificial grounds of the mountain ghosts, headed in the direction of the god body, and finally slipped into the god body tree without alarming the mountain ghosts.
Entering the dead tree hole again, Xu Zhige carefully looked around, it didn't seem to be any different, it was the same as an ordinary dead tree. Where's this herb?
"Don't look at it, it's up there!" Lin Kui tilted his head and pointed upward.
Above the heads of the three of them, at the very top of the shape of the obelisk, there was a string of 'grapes' that looked like crystals!
"Sure enough, that's right!" Lin Kui seemed very excited when he saw the grapes, "It's exactly the same as what the ancient books say!"
"Don't talk nonsense!Hurry up and collect medicine!Do you know how to get it?" Leo interrupted the intoxication of the two, "while the mountain ghosts outside haven't found out yet!"
"Yes, yes, pick herbs!" Lin Kui was startled, and then laughed embarrassedly, "I accidentally indulged in it, I'm sorry!"
Lin Kui climbed up neatly in the hole of the dead tree, carefully, trying to restrain his movements as much as possible, not allowing himself to make a sound, which was a very mentally draining behavior, while Xu Zhige and Leo below needed to keep an eye from time to time to prevent the mountain ghosts outside from waking up and discovering the abnormalities in the divine body.
"It's almost there! It's almost there! You'll be able to get it right away!" Lin Kui's eyes were intoxicated, and he kept muttering to himself as he looked at the 'grapes' that were about to arrive.
Finally, when climbing to the top floor, Lin Kui took out a cross pestle from his pocket, and then muttered a few words nervously, and then started to cut off the grapes and vines with fruits.
And at this time, a mutation suddenly occurred!
The dead tree that had been cut off the grape fruit suddenly let out a terrible scream, which startled Xu Zhige and Leo.
"What the hell!"
"The mountain ghost has woken up!"
Lin Kui jumped down from the dead tree, his face became a little weird, and he showed a sneer, "Brother Xu, Brother Lei, I still have some things I forgot to tell you before...... The so-called medicinal herb is actually the essence of the Divine Body Tree! In other words, it is the most important lifeblood of these needleworms! As long as someone touches it, it will cause them to react violently!"
"So what?" Leo sneered, "You dare to move, does that mean that you are sure to get out?"
"Originally, I wouldn't have dared to come if I was alone, but when I was observing, someone happened to break in......"
"So you said he was going to help you be bait, to help you distract the mountain ghost?"
Lin Kui smiled innocently, "It's a pity that his skills are a little worse, he was blocked not far from the needleworm just after he was introduced, and in the end, he was put down without catching anything." ”
"However, it seems that the heavens still favor me......" Lin Kui's smile became more and more innocent, "When I was distressed, I actually met two more people, and they were quite good! ”
"And even more dramatic...... The two of them actually knew each other with the kid I used before, hey, God is also helping me!" Lin Kui laughed a little forgetful, "Brother Xu, now it's up to your consciousness, go all out, otherwise everyone will die here!"
"You're damn dragging us into the water!" Leo gritted his teeth, trying to beat Lin Kui to death on the spot.
"Beware!
