Chapter Twenty-Four: The Stem in the Stone

On the other end, Ye Xian's chic footsteps paused, and he patted his forehead in annoyance, "It's a loss, it's a big loss this time." ”

Blue tilted his head and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"I forgot to take Barton's storage away, it's cheaper for them."

Blue has been following Ye Xian these days, deeply affected by her, and her little face puffed up, "Then let's go back now and get the storage props back." ”

Ye Xian was a little moved, but after a while, he still shook his head and vetoed, "Forget it, it's better to deal less with those people." ”

Ye Xian grew up in a family and was ostracized by the clan, especially what Ye Pianran's brothers and sisters did to her, which made her naturally have a sense of alienation from the children of the family.

She didn't want to have too much to do with those people anymore, so she reluctantly gave up Barton's storage items and went back the way she came, scavenging the belongings of the other members of the Greedy Wolf Mercenary Regiment and walking away.

She didn't dispose of the body, because she knew that when she and Blue left, the banished beasts would return to the area, and they would destroy the body for her.

Blue was still held in Ye Xian's arms, he saw that Ye Xian didn't think to put himself down, and he didn't remind him, he shook his head, stretched out his little finger and pointed to the north, "Let's go there, I feel the smell of herbs there!" ”

Ye Xian's eyes lit up, and he immediately put the chagrin just now behind him, and the wind was blowing under his feet, and he galloped away.

Under Blue's guidance, Ye Xian walked through a winding community and came to the foot of a high mountain.

Ye Xian looked up at the mountain that couldn't see the boundary at a glance, "That herb grows on the mountain wall?" ”

Blue closed his eyes for a moment, then opened his eyes in confusion and scratched his soft blonde hair, "It's weird, the herb should be around here, but I can't be sure where it is, let's look around first." ”

Ye Xian was surprised, in the past, Blue could accurately tell the hiding place of the herbs, but this was the first time he had encountered a situation that he couldn't be sure of.

She didn't ask much, and looked for it inch by inch in the vicinity.

This search is two hours.

Blue also began to get anxious, he jumped down from Ye Xian's arms, kept circling around a location at the foot of the mountain, and muttered to himself, "No, it should be here." ”

Ye Xian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he swept inch by inch with a sharp gaze at the place where Blue was standing, and then paused suddenly.

"Blue, I seem to have found it, you come here first."

Hearing this, Blue ran to Ye Xian's side, tilted his little head and asked, "Where is it?" Why didn't I see it? ”

Ye Xian couldn't help but reach out and touch his head, "Don't worry, you'll be able to see it right away." ”

She walked over to where Blue had been standing, moved her wrist, and then threw a punch under Blue's startled gaze.

Bang!

There was a muffled sound, then a thin cracking sound.

Whoa—

A large hole broke open in the ground in an instant, and countless broken stones and dirt fell down, and when the movement subsided, a dark and bottomless hole was revealed.

Blue ran to the edge of the cave and looked down, "I said I couldn't find it, it turned out to be underground!" ”

He looked up with a happy expression, "The herbs are down there, let's go down now." ”

Unexpectedly, Ye Xian shook his head at him, "You stay here, I'll go down alone." ”

"Why! I'm going to be with you! Blue pouted and looked at Ye Xian angrily.

Ye Xian's eyebrows frowned slightly, "Blue, this place doesn't feel good to me, I'm not at ease, you just wait for me here, okay?" ”

When the hole was revealed, the nerves in Ye Xian's brain suddenly tensed.

The cave is deep and there is no light, which makes people feel afraid.

Ye Xian didn't want to involve Blue in danger.

Blue's attitude was firm, "You don't want to dump me, I'm going to be with you, otherwise I won't tell you where the herbs are next time!" ”

This threat was very effective, Ye Xian had no choice but to agree with him for three chapters, "It's okay for me to take you down, but you have to be quiet and don't make any noise, if you encounter danger, I will let you run immediately, you will run immediately, you know?" ”

"Hmm!" Blue nodded vigorously.

Ye Xian picked up Blue with one arm again, took out a wide robe from the storage bracelet and wrapped it for him, and then jumped into the black hole with him.

The wind was howling, and the fierce wind blew on the face like a knife.

Ye Xian covered Blue's head with his hands, his spiritual power attached to his feet, and his eyes tried his best to distinguish the surrounding environment.

I don't know how long it took, but I heard a thud, and her feet finally hit the ground.

Under the effect of spiritual power, Ye Xian did not suffer much impact, she took out the fire fold and lit it, illuminating the surroundings, and found that they were in a bare cave, only there was an endless road ahead.

"Herbs are right up front."

"Hmm."

Ye Xian bowed slightly, and walked forward along the road.

The further I went, the clearer the sound of the wind became, and from time to time I could see the residual excrement on the ground, thinking that this should be the lair of some kind of demonic beast.

The cave was winding, sometimes high and sometimes low, and Ye Xian almost hit the mountain wall several times.

Blue was quiet all the way, he obediently hugged Ye Xian's neck, and only his light breathing could be heard.

Another turn was made, and a glimmer of light appeared at the end of the line of sight.

Ye Xian's eyes lit up slightly, and he finally arrived.

Instead of quickening, her pace began to slow down, the boning knife in her hand.

The field of vision gradually widened, and the panorama of the cave was completely revealed in front of Ye Xian.

The interior of the cave, which is dozens of meters high, is empty and simple, and a stone platform in the shape of a lotus flower is placed in the middle.

In the center of the lotus platform, there is a green blade of grass, swaying with the breeze.

"It's a stem in the stone." Blue suppressed his voice, "The top herb among the fourth-level herbs is even comparable to the value of ordinary fifth-level herbs. ”

Ye Xian's breathing was sluggish, and he instantly made up his mind to take this herb away.

"What is the growth habit of the stem in the stone? Can there be companion monsters? ”

"The stem in the stone is quiet, it will only grow in the heart of the stone, and as for its companion demonic beast......" Bru pondered for a moment before continuing, "It should be the Rolling Stone Beast." ”

The Rolling Stone Beast is a special kind of magical beast that feeds on stones, does not like light, and spends all year round in the dark underground, resembling stones in appearance, and its physical defense can be called terrifying.

"Is the Rolling Stone Beast nearby?"

"Not there."

Ye Xian's heart was slightly relaxed, he held his breath and approached the stem in the stone.

One step, two steps......

In the secluded cave, only the movement of footsteps can be heard.

Ye Xian came to the front of the lotus platform, there was a strange fragrance lingering on the tip of her nose, she was lucky, and then stretched out her palm as fast as lightning, grabbed the stem in the stone, and pulled it outward.

Kiss!

The stems in the stone were uprooted, and before Ye Xian had time to be happy, there was a sudden booming sound under his feet.

Then the mountains shook for a while.

Ye Xian's complexion changed suddenly.

Not good, the cave is going to collapse.

She hurriedly stuffed the stone stem into the storage bracelet, and then ran wildly in the direction that Blue had come from.
