The Red Fire Ape fled, and silence returned to the forest.

Ji Tianxing was lying on his back on the grass, looking at the sky with misty eyes, and the orange sunset was gradually falling to the horizon.

It will be dark, and in an hour at most, the moon will rise.

He knew that time was short, but he couldn't get up at all, and he didn't even want to move his fingers.

I'm so tired!

The tiredness that came from the depths of his soul made him truly appreciate the consequences of overconsumption of his mind.

"Although I can manipulate the sword qi and let the sword qi kill the enemy within a zhang of my body, this is an effect that can only be achieved by the Seven Layers of the True Yuan Realm. ”

"But this consumption is too great, if I use it a few more times, I am afraid that I will become weak and become a fool...... It seems that it should be used cautiously in the future, and it should only be used to save life at critical moments. ”

He closed his eyes and thought silently, waiting for his strength and spirit to slowly recover.

At this time, the Xiaoice fox probed out of the grass and poked his brain.

It looked around vigilantly, and saw that there was no danger around, so it picked up the package not far away and dragged it to Ji Tianxing's side.

"Old Ji, didn't you bring a lot of pills in your package?

"It's getting dark, we need to get out of here. ”

As he spoke, it took out four or five white jade vials from the package and placed them in front of Ji Tianxing.

Ji Tianxing stretched out his hands tiredly and picked out a small jade bottle with the words "Qi Nourishing Pill" on it.

He opened the bottle and poured out a few vermilion pills, stuffed them into his mouth, chewed them twice, and swallowed them.

Suddenly, he found that something was wrong, and immediately looked at Xiaoice Fox suspiciously.

"Little fox, why is my pill missing more than half?Did you steal it?!"

Xiaoice Hu quietly took two steps back and explained with a sneer: "Before, I was bored lying in the package, so I ate those pills as sugar pills...... I didn't mean to. ”

"Okay, you stinky fox!" Ji Tianxing wanted to hit it angrily, but his strength had not yet recovered, so he had to give up.

"Hmph, I think you want to steal the pill to recover your strength and then run away, right?"

Xiaoice Fox rolled his eyes and quickly changed the topic: "Hey, Lao Ji, don't talk, it's important to recover your strength!"

"If we don't leave before dark, the bloody gas on the grass will attract a large number of demon beasts, and then we will only become demon beasts' dinner. ”

Ji Tianxing suppressed his anger, took a few more Hui Yuan Pills, and quickly recovered his strength.

About half an hour later, it was dark, and night was about to fall.

At this time, Ji Tianxing's physical strength also recovered six or seven percent, so he continued to rush to the top of the mountain with the package on his back.

On the way to the top of the mountain, he heard the movement of demon beasts running in all directions, as well as the roars of beasts one after another.

Xiaoice Fox hurriedly reminded him: "The Red Star Flower has bloomed, the aura is getting stronger and stronger, and the nearby demon beasts smell the breath and want to rush to grab it." ”

"You have to speed up! Otherwise, not only will you not get the Red Star Flower, but you will also be besieged by a large number of demon beasts. ”

Ji Tianxing frowned, and hurried to the top of the mountain with all his might.

A quarter of an hour later, he finally reached the top of a thousand feet high and came to a sparsely wooded field.

He looked around vigilantly, looking for the location of the Red Star Flower and checking the surroundings.

However, it was already dusk, and the light in the woodland was dim, making it difficult to see clearly.

He could only hear the movement in the jungle around him getting louder and louder, and the roar of the beast getting closer and closer.

The Xiaoice fox hurriedly stretched out its little paw and pointed to the southwest of the woodland.

"Over there, get over there, there's a cliff!"

At this moment, Ji Tianxing didn't care about distinguishing the truth of its words, and hurriedly ran away.

He galloped for more than three miles before he broke out of the dense and dark jungle and came to a rubble thicket.

The clearing, which is a hundred feet in circumference, is full of rocks, and between the black-brown boulders, there are weeds that are half a man high.

Ji Tianxing jumped into the rocky bushes, and his body vigorously passed through dozens of boulders and dense grass, and finally arrived at the edge of the cliff.

Five paces in front of him was a cliff, and in front of him was a sky shrouded in thick fog.

The cliff was at least a thousand zhang deep, and white mist kept rising at the bottom of the cliff, blocking all the scenes at the bottom of the cliff, making it impossible for Ji Tianxing to see clearly.

Xiaoice Fox's red little nose shook twice, and a look of joy appeared in his eyes, and he hurriedly urged: "Old Ji, the breath of the red star flower came from under the cliff, no more than twenty zhang away from us, you look for it quickly!"

Ji Tianxing was also happy in his heart, and he looked around in high spirits.

He stepped on the edge of the cliff, leaned out half of his body to look down at the cliff, and immediately saw that there was a steep rocky cliff underneath the cliff.

However, the cliffs are not flat, there are cracks in many places, and there are many juggling boulders and green vines embedded in the cliffs.

Night finally fell, and the stars and the moon had not yet appeared, and the heavens and the earth were dark.

Ji Tianxing anxiously searched all over the twenty zhang radius, but he didn't see the Red Star Flower, and he didn't even find a strange-looking medicinal herb.

Suddenly, the Xiaoice fox lying on his shoulder stretched out his little paws, pointed to a craggy boulder under the cliff, and shouted in surprise: "Old Ji, look there!"

Ji Tianxing hurriedly looked in the direction it was pointing, and suddenly saw a little silver light faintly lit up in the cracks of the rocky boulder.

"It's Red Star Flower!Definitely!"

Ji Tianxing's spirits perked up, and he hurriedly found a wrist-thick vine on the ground, and climbed down the cliff along the vine.

Before coming to the Taiye Mountains, he had carefully investigated the news about the Red Star Flower.

The red star flower is more than two feet tall, and its rhizomes and branches are dark, while the flowers are silver.

This flower absorbs the essence of the sun, moon and stars over the years, and the petals will emit a faint silver light at night, like starlight.

However, the flower only blooms once in 60 years, and each plant has only one flower, and the flower only blooms for six days before withering and decaying.

After a while, Ji Tianxing climbed along the vines to the bottom of the cliff, and stepped on a large rock protruding from the rock wall.

But he was still more than four feet away from the boulder where the Red Star Flower was growing, and it was impossible for him to jump over it with his strength.

The rock wall between the two boulders was also bare, with no place to borrow, only a cluster of dark green vines grew.

The vine was only the thickness of chopsticks, and it looked so weak that it couldn't support his weight at all.

He had no doubt that if he climbed those vines to pick red star flowers, he would fall off a cliff and fall to pieces.

At this moment, Ji Tianxing showed a helpless wry smile on his face.

The Red Star Flower was not far in front of him, but he couldn't pick it, or even get close.

And he clearly heard the sound of the running footsteps of demon beasts in the rocky bushes above the cliff.

There are at least three demon beasts that have rushed to the edge of the cliff.
