Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Emerald Thorn Fruit and the Purple Thread
In the midst of the dense forest, there are several tall trees that stand out from the rest.
The leaves of these trees are emerald green and form a circle, with a lawn in the middle.
In the center of the lawn, a peculiarly shaped grass swayed, and dozens of emerald green fruits condensed on it, exuding bursts of fragrance.
Don't look at the emerald thorn fruit is so strange, in fact, it is just a good tasting spirit fruit, although it has no effect, but it is better because of the crisp and sweet taste, full of juice, and it is very popular in the world of cultivating immortals.
A five-foot-long iron-backed lizard lay on the outskirts of the lawn, its big eyes staring straight at the emerald green fruit, its mouth slightly open, as if it was about to drool.
The iron-backed lizard is one of the most devouring monsters.
At this moment, there was a strange movement in the air, and before the ironback lizard could put away its saliva, it was hit by several attacks one after another.
Bang Bang Bang!
A tooth-aching sound came, and Han Liang, who secretly launched a sneak attack, found that their attacks had all landed on the scale armor behind the iron-backed lizard, as if the blades were in contact, and they did not cause any damage to it at all.
Second-order demon beasts are very responsive, and they can avoid many dangers by instinct, which is also one of the advantages of demon beasts.
However, Han Liang and the three of them had a lot of experience, and they had long expected such a situation, and they jumped out one by one, and all kinds of spells blasted towards the iron-backed lizard.
"The second-order demon beast has a hard body, and it is not comparable to the first-order demon beast, and it is impossible to break through its defense by directly attacking it with a low-grade magic weapon, we must attack its weakness!"
Han Liang drank.
Although the iron-backed lizard has an indestructible scale armor, it also has many weaknesses, and the places that the scale armor cannot cover are its weaknesses.
Liu Chun'er was ghostly in speed, holding the meniscus dart in his hand, and quickly found an opportunity to penetrate the abdomen of the iron-backed lizard, Han Liang and Du Fan rushed up, urging attacks to kill it.
Removing the emerald thorn fruit and covering up the traces of the battle here, the four of them hurried away to the next location.
……
As far as the eye can see, there are steep mountain cliffs.
In the middle of the hundred-zhang high cliff, there is an abrupt protrusion, which is a platform, with excellent eyesight, Ye Pian Ran saw that there was a purple grass growing there.
This was the last herb they needed, called Purple Thread, and it was also one of the few true herbs in the long list of medicinal herbs.
Purple thread grass is one of the medicinal materials for refining the second-grade elixir, the effect of the elixir and the elixir are the same, they are both pills that can instantly restore spiritual power, but the effect is different, the spiritual power contained in the elixir is more than ten times that of the elixir.
Having said that, the Huiling Pill is also a rare elixir, and the price is not low, and most monks buy it for self-defense.
Putting the purple thread grass in the last one is not only because the terrain here is different and has left the familiar forest area, but more importantly, the demon beast guarding the purple thread grass is the overlord of the second-order demon beasts, the blood falcon.
Qi cultivators can't fly with a sword, but this purple thread grass grows on the cliff, although there is no shadow of the blood falcon, but I also know that the blood falcon must be lurking around, once someone climbs the mountain wall and tries to get their hands on the purple thread grass, they will become the prey of the blood falcon, and they have no power to resist.
Ye Pianran and the four of them hid behind a stone wall, and when they saw this situation, everyone's faces were very solemn.
Han Liang transmitted, "In the air battle, we have no chance of winning, once we appear under that mountain wall, we will inevitably be targeted by the Blood Falcon, we have to find a way." ”
"Otherwise," Liu Chun'er proposed, "I'll be the bait below, the boss will pick the purple thread, and Du Fan will cover me." ”
"No way!" Du Fan and Han Liang spoke in unison.
The two glanced at each other, and Han Liang said, "Du Fan specializes in earth-based techniques, and he is not very flexible, so he does not pose any threat to the Blood Falcon. I should be asked to cover, Du Fan is the bait, and Chun'er is going to pick purple thread. ”
Liu Chun'er shook her head disapprovingly, "Du Fan is not flexible, are you flexible?" Your magic weapon is a fist gauntlet, which is only suitable for close combat, and against the blood falcon, you are inferior to Du Fan, so let me cover it. ”
"Who said I can only fight in close combat, I still have golden blades, let me ......"
"I can also cover, my thorns can attack from a distance......"
The three of them had a loud quarrel.
Ye Pianran naturally heard it, but it was better to say that these three people deliberately acted in a play for her.
Sure enough, after arguing for a long time without any result, Du Fan yelled impatiently.
"It's noisy and annoying! What does it take to do that? There are three of us, not only to take off the purple thread grass, but also to harass the Blood Falcon, a demon beast as powerful as the Blood Falcon, even if it comes to the ground, we can't beat it! Now not only do you have to fight in the area that the Blood Falcon is best at, but there are so many things, and you have to protect the one surnamed Ye! What is this, I don't want to do it! ”
There was silence in my head.
The faces of the three people were not very good-looking, and no one spoke.
Ye Pianran raised his eyes and said in a low voice, "It's all my fault, I'm too weak, I can't do anything, I have to rely on you everywhere, it's all my fault......"
"How come, it was our duty to protect you, this was said from the beginning, Senior Sister Ye Xiyue said that she couldn't let you have an accident......" Liu Chun'er quickly explained, and glared at Du Fan fiercely.
Ye Pianran shook his head and tried his best to advance the progress of the script, "Anyway, it's the last herb, you can complete the task after doing it this time, I don't want to be a waste, it will only drag you back, let me do it this time, I'll be the bait." ”
"Really?!" Liu Chun'er was overjoyed, and then as if she realized that something was wrong, her joy quickly retracted, and she shook her head heavily, "It's rare that you have this heart, but you only have the fourth level of Qi training, how to be a bait?" I'm afraid that the Blood Falcon's random blow can kill you. ”
"It's okay, you'll protect me anyway, won't you?" Ye Pianran smiled.
"This ......" Liu Chun'er was stunned for a moment, bit her lip, hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay, then I'll go collect medicine, I'm the fastest...... Boss, Du Fan, you must protect Pian Ran and not let her get hurt. ”
In just two months, the relationship between Liu Chun'er and Ye Pianran has grown by leaps and bounds, and it has reached the point where they can call each other names.
Han Liang and Du Fan's faces softened, and they all promised that they would protect Ye Pianran.
He also formulated a rough battle plan, mainly to tell Ye Pianran how to be, and after a while, the four of them were ready to go and walked out from behind the stone wall.
Ye Pianran fell last.
Before setting out, she glanced vaguely at the bushes somewhere behind the side, and then followed with a solemn face as if nothing had happened.
In the past two months, she really didn't contribute much in hunting demon beasts, but she was very careful in her cultivation.
Now, she has refined the trace of water-repellent power contained in her body, and her cultivation has reached the peak of the fifth layer of Qi training, which is only one step away from the sixth layer of Qi training.
That's not enough.
She had long noticed that there were several tails behind her, and they had been following them since they left the forest.
Ye Pianran didn't think that Liu Chun'er and the three didn't find out, and he didn't rule out that this was their handiwork.
It depends on whether it is a nest of snakes and rats, or a praying mantis catching cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind.
