"Someone got the first shot!"

Xiang Leopard came to the pine tree and saw the traces dug on the ground, and his face suddenly changed.

Dig up the soil three or two, and pull up the pine and sunflower together with the soil and mud, only to see that there is a crack on it, and it is obvious that the core of the fruit has been taken away.

"Who is moving so fast?"

Xiang Bao pursed his lips, his face was cloudy, and he suddenly threw Songpo Kui to the ground, stepped on it, and stepped on it.

"No, we have to hurry to the top of the mountain, we can't let people take the lead anymore!"

……

Most of the rare herbs are born on the cliffs, deep in the mountains and rivers, this sentence is the experience summed up by countless medicine pickers, and there is indeed a certain truth.

Zhao Lin came to the top of the peak, and found a lonely fairy grass in a gap in a large stone that stretched out of the cliff.

The solitary fairy grass, also known as the five-color grass, is very easy to identify, growing on a single plant and having only five leaves.

The leaves have five colors, white, green, black, red and yellow, and contain the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

Although the medicinal effect of the solitary fairy grass itself is not strong, it is good at harmonizing various medicinal properties, and it is an excellent medicine introduction, ranking in the medicinal material prescription of the king, the minister, the advocate, and the "medicine".

"I must be the first to reach the top of the mountain, otherwise the Lone Immortal Grass is so conspicuous that anyone can see it as soon as they come up!"

Zhao Lin muttered to himself, cleanly took out the Lone Immortal Grass from the rock crevice, and carefully put it into the medicine storage box.

The mountain wind is howling, the forest is undulating, and looking into the distance, you can see several other peaks, but the distance is too far to see the figure on the opposite side.

Zhao Lin took a turn around the peak, and found no other herbs, so he went down from the side of Shanyin.

There will definitely be people coming here one after another, so it's better to leave as soon as possible, and the gentleman doesn't stand up a dangerous wall, so as not to be targeted.

A moment later, the two figures reached the summit almost simultaneously.

"Zhong Yewu?"

"Xiang Leopard!"

Zhong Yewu and Xiang Bao glanced at each other, and while being wary of each other, they looked around with their eyes, preparing to snatch the herb first once they found it.

After a confrontation, Zhong Yewu suddenly said "Huh", pointed to the ground near the cliff and said, "It seems that someone has come." ”

Xiang Bao hurriedly looked over, and sure enough, he saw that there were traces of trampling on the ground, and shallow footprints were left on the boulder.

Both frowned at the same time.

The two of them are the strongest among the disciples of the Dancing Elephant Academy, and who else can arrive before them?

The visitor seemed to stay on the summit for a while before calmly leaving.

"Is there someone else?"

Xiang Bao's eyes flickered, and he glanced at Zhong Yewu.

He just found that Songpo Kui had been dug up in the pine forest, and the first person to suspect was Zhong Yewu, and now it seems that there is someone else.

Zhong Yewu walked to the boulder, glanced into the gap, and said in a deep voice: "There should have been medicinal herbs here before, and they were picked away." ”

Xiang Leopard walked over, and sure enough, he saw a severed root in the crack in the stone.

"That's it, it's a big deal to go somewhere else."

Zhong Yewu was also free and easy, and after speaking, he stopped staying and left the peak.

Xiang Leopard waited for a while, his cuffs shook, and he released the silver spotted fox, and let out a cold snort from his mouth: "It's just three things, no matter who you are, it's best not to let me bump into it!" ”

……

The walls of the mountain are covered with dark green moss, the black sludge is muddy, and the pungent smell of acid decay can be seen, and the bones of several dead animals that have accidentally fallen into the swamp can be seen.

Zhao Lin and the mire toad were separated by a swamp, staring at each other with big eyes.

Thanks to the smell of dozens of rare herbs in the Xuanwu Medicine Hall, Zhao Lin spent less than half a day finding three more herbs.

Although the grade is far inferior to the pit of the pine sunflower and the solitary fairy grass, it can also be counted in the harvest.

Zhao Lin wasn't sure whether Qiu Cai's final ranking was based on the grade or quantity of medicinal herbs, and the elder didn't elaborate.

To be on the safe side, it's best to be overwhelming on both fronts.

In the middle, he also dug up a nine shou wu plant, this kind of medicinal material has a good tonic effect, but it is not a martial arts medicinal material, he is going to take it home to his parents to replenish their body.

The San'in side does not see daylight all year round, and the air is filled with the smell of moisture.

Zhao Lin walked to the shoulder of the peak, smelled a rancid smell, looked for the smell, and came to this swamp.

The swamp is about a dozen zhang in circumference, and it seems that it was once a pond, but now the water has dried up, leaving only the silt at the bottom.

At a glance, he saw a cluster of forty or fifty slender "mushrooms" growing near the mountain wall, the whole body was as white as jade, and the umbrella cover was covered with fluff, and there was a feeling of being out of the mud without staining.

"White hairy pu!"

Zhao Lin's eyes lit up, although the grade of this herb was not high, it was rare for so many herbs to grow in one place.

But he didn't act immediately, thinking back to what the deacon had said.

"It grows mostly in shady and rotten places, and is slightly poisonous, and is often accompanied by scorpions, lizards, centipedes, toads and other poisonous insects nearby."

"These poisonous insects have been devouring white cattails for many years, and they will mutate over time......"

Zhao Lin stared at the swamp, didn't see any living creatures, the Adam's apple vibrate, emitting ultrasound, and finally heard the sound of a heartbeat on a "stone".

Only then did I realize that the shape of the stone was the shape of a toad, the size of a watermelon, and its whole body was covered with silt, which blended in with the surrounding environment, and its gray eyes blinked for a long time.

"It turned out to be a mire toad."

When the deacon was explaining the rare herbs, he mentioned some strange beasts and insects by the way, and Zhao Lin was able to know.

The mire toad can release a poisonous mist, and humans and beasts will immediately faint after inhaling it, but it has a calm temperament and generally does not take the initiative to attack, and only uses the poisonous mist to stun animals when they fall into the swamp.

Zhao Lin observed the surroundings, the swamp was facing the mountain wall on both sides, and the other was facing the cliff, if you wanted to get the white hairy pu, unless you had wings on your back and flew over.

It just so happens that you can fly.

Zhao Lin took out the cow tendon stick, swung it a few times, made a violent sound of breaking the air, and then pointed at the mire toad from afar.

"I won't kill you, and you won't stop me."

After saying that, the acupuncture point spewed out energy, and his body rose into the air, holding his breath, bypassing the mire toad, and hovering above the cluster of white hairy cattails.

The mire toad's eyes blinked, as if he was shocked, and watched Zhao Lin take the white-haired pu away, then fly away from the swamp, and strode away.

After a long time, the mire toad "cooed" twice.

……

"Don't come here, whoever dares to take a step forward, I'll crush them."

"Stop, you're crazy......"

There was an undulating hill on one side of San'in, and there was a faint sound of quarrelling, as if someone was snatching medicinal herbs.

Zhao Lin glanced towards the side of the hill, kept under his feet, and continued to walk forward.

He didn't want to grab other people's herbs for the time being, it was better to find them faster if he had that effort, and it was the first day, and everyone had nothing to gain.

"Try another one? What I can't get, you don't want to get......"

Zhao Lin paused, feeling that the voice was a little familiar, hesitated slightly, and walked quickly in the direction where the voice came from.

Rounding the two hills, he almost laughed out loud at what he saw.
