After resting for the night, Shi Jiu came to the car dealership and learned that due to the remote location of Chunyi City, there was no direct transportation route to other cities in Lanhai County, and the only route was the route from Iwatani City that he had taken yesterday.

Therefore, if you want to go to Shuilin City, you must first arrive at Tahe City, which is 3,000 miles away, and then take a car from there to Lanming City, the county seat of Lanhai County, and finally arrive at the destination of the group, Shuilin City.

Shi Jiu looked at the map and went to Tahe City, and had to pass through a continuous mountainous area.

"It's okay, it's not a jungle, otherwise you would have to walk."

Immediately, Shi Jiu bought a good fast horse at the car dealership, and then without further delay, he drove out of the city and hurried to Tahe City in the direction indicated on the map.

Along the way, it was quite smooth and there were no obstacles.

On the third day, while passing by a stream, Shi Jiu stopped to drink water, and just as he was about to get on his horse and continue walking, he heard a beast roar.

Shi Jiu, who didn't want to be troubled, planned to move on, but was stopped by the Great Red Sword Emperor.

"Wait, don't rush to leave just yet."

"What's wrong?"

"Listen to the voice."

"Isn't it the cry of the beast?" Shi Jiu was a little puzzled.

"Don't you hear two kinds of cries? And the call is noticeably different. The Great Red Sword Emperor explained.

"Well, there are indeed two kinds of calls, but what does that have to do with me?" Listening carefully, Shi Jiu also noticed that the voice contained the cries of two different underworld beasts, but he didn't realize it.

"Let's go, let's take a look." The Great Red Sword Emperor suggested.

"Is it necessary? Listening to this sound, it looks like two beasts are fighting. Shi Jiu didn't want to go.

"You little guy, listen to me, go and see, maybe you will get something." The Great Red Sword Emperor urged.

"Oh? Are you sure? Hearing the Great Red Sword Emperor say this, Shi Jiu immediately came to his senses.

"You'll know when you go."

"Okay, go now." After speaking, Shi Jiu followed the direction from which the roar came from and walked forward quickly.

Ten minutes later, Shi Jiu hid behind a rock and observed the movement ahead.

I saw two beasts fighting in front of me.

It's really a fight between the beasts, one of them is a shadow leopard, and the other is a big beetle that is all black.

"What a beetle!" Shi Jiu couldn't help but whisper, this was the first time he had seen such a big beetle, the size of a pig.

"That's the Black-footed Pact, a third-level Pluto Beast." The Great Red Sword Emperor is popularizing science on the side.

"It's a little strange that black-footed worms are generally burrowing creatures and rarely come to the surface." The Great Red Sword Emperor was a little puzzled.

"Senior, don't worry about these for now, those two beasts are about to decide the winner." Shi Jiu pointed to the battle situation in front of him and said.

Although it is the same third-level underworld beast, the overall strength is not much different, but at this time the shadow leopard obviously has the upper hand, at its speed as fast as the wind, the attack of the black-footed underworld beast can not hurt the shadow leopard at all, and can only rely on its own thick carapace to defend against the opponent's attack, after a long time, it is easy to have a flaw, the shadow leopard is taking advantage of this opportunity to bite off one of the legs of the black-footed underworld.

After losing a leg, the Black-footed Pluto began to shrink its defenses, but unfortunately, the momentum was gone, and the Shadow Leopard did not give it a chance, and immediately overturned the opponent's body. The black-footed worm with its belly turned to the sky suddenly showed its most fragile belly in front of the enemy.

Without any hesitation, the Shadow Leopard quickly ripped open the belly of the Black-footed Pluto Worm, and then delivered a fatal blow to the other party.

"It's over." Seeing that the Shadow Leopard quickly understood the Black Pluto Worm, Shi Jiu also sighed, no matter how good the defense was, if the attack was not in place, it would be defeated, at most, it was just the length of time.

The Shadow Leopard, who had killed his opponent, did not immediately enjoy the feast in front of him, but looked around vigilantly, and after making sure that there was no movement around, he walked to the rock behind him, and disappeared in front of Shi Jiu's eyes the next moment.

"It's a little weird, the Shadow Panther didn't eat the Black-footed Worm? Could it be that this big bug is not tasty? Regarding the Shadow Leopard's actions, Shi Jiu was a little puzzled.

"What do you think? Even if the Shadow Leopard does not eat the flesh of the Black-footed Panther, it will definitely swallow the opponent's Pluto Core. And it doesn't do that now, apparently for other, more important reasons. You go to the place where the Shadow Panther disappeared. The Great Red Sword Emperor glanced at Shi Jiu, and then expressed his opinion.

Shi Jiu didn't argue, he was used to the painless "reprimand" of the Great Red Sword Emperor, and then tiptoed to the place where the Shadow Leopard had disappeared.

"I really didn't expect that there was a cave behind this rock." Looking at the dark cave, Shi Jiu knew that the Shadow Leopard must have entered the cave.

However, the entrance of this cave was actually cold, which really puzzled Shi Jiu.

"Won't you know when you go in?" The Great Red Sword Emperor urged again.

Shi Jiu took out a torch, and then walked to the cave step by step, and at the same time, in order to prevent the sneak attack of the shadow leopard, he also turned on his divine sense, but due to the twists and turns of the cave, Shi Jiu's divine sense could only probe the range of twenty meters in front of him, so he was careful with every step.

After walking like this for about ten minutes, the chill in the cave became more and more intense.

At a certain moment, Shi Jiu stopped, and at this time, the cold air in the cave also reached the maximum, Shi Jiu knew that the end of the cave should be not far ahead, and at the same time, his divine sense also found the trace of the shadow leopard, which was not far ahead.

Shi Jiu did not act rashly, but stuck the torch on the rock wall beside him, and then walked gently forward, and after turning a corner, Shi Jiu saw the shadow leopard from before.

However, the Shadow Leopard also spotted him, and immediately let out a roar, and then pounced on Shi Jiu.

Shi Jiu was not careless, and immediately resorted to the Big Dipper Seven Star Steps. Although the cave was not big, with the blessing of his own divine sense, Shi Jiu escaped the culling of the Shadow Leopard, and then took advantage of the situation to hit the opponent's ass with a Xuanfeng palm.

Feeling the pain coming from his buttocks, the Shadow Leopard was also furious, and flew towards Shi Jiu again.

"Just in time!" Shi Jiu not only did not panic, but laughed loudly, only to see him use the Big Dipper Seven Star Steps, with a fluctuating position, instantly came to the shadow leopard that was already in mid-air, and at the same time held the right hand of the dagger that had been prepared, stabbed the opponent's soft abdomen fiercely, and then quickly opened a deep hole under inertia.

"Bump!" The Shadow Leopard slammed to the ground and lost its reaction, blood staining red beneath it.

Shi Jiu was very satisfied, and the entire battle process lasted for more than ten seconds, and he easily killed a third-level underworld beast.

"What's the pleasure, that shadow leopard is obviously careless!"

The Great Red Sword Emperor still "taught" the Dao, but Shi Jiu didn't care, because he knew in his heart that the Great Red Sword Emperor just hoped that he wouldn't be complacent.

"Leave the Shadow Leopard alone, go ahead and take a look, I seem to see a certain Xidong."

The Great Red Sword Emperor's urging made Shi Jiu curious, so Shi Jiu immediately walked quickly to the front.

"Sure enough, it's Frost Grass!" When Shi Jiu walked to the end of the front, the voice of the Great Red Sword Emperor rang out.

I saw that in front of Shi Jiu was a natural ice cave, and the ice cave was full of the end of the cave, and the cold air that Shi Jiu felt was emitted by this ice cave. At this time, a small white and crystal grass is standing quietly on the ice cave.

"Is this Frost Grass? Is it also the Heaven and Earth Spirit Grass? Shi Jiu asked the question in his heart.

"That's right, it's also a spirit grass, but it's different from the two-leaf vermilion fruit you've taken." The Great Red Sword Emperor explained on the side: "The Frost Grass can't enhance its own strength by taking it directly, but it is indeed the favorite of the alchemists, because its properties are very suitable for refining other pills as a buffer formula, such as the Heart Protection Pill I mentioned, there are ingredients of the Frost Grass in it, if you want to ask the alchemist to refine the medicine, you can exchange it for this Frost Grass, they will definitely be happy." ”

"So, this frost grass is a good thing." Hearing the Great Red Sword Emperor's explanation, Shi Jiu's eyes lit up, and then he was about to pick it, but he was immediately stopped by the Great Red Sword Emperor.

"If you pick the frost grass like you did before, it won't be long before it goes bad."

"Huh? So what to do? Shi Jiu immediately withdrew his hand, and then asked eagerly.

"Take out the ice cubes under the frost grass and put them in the jade box." The Great Red Sword Emperor said the method.

After hearing this, Shi Jiu immediately complied, and carefully dug a round ice cube under the frost grass with a dagger, and at the same time wrapped the roots of the frost grass, and then put it into the jade box.

After doing all this, Shi Jiu looked at the Shadow Leopard not far away.

Today's harvest is not only the frost grass, but also the underworld core of the two beasts.

Soon, Shi Jiu skillfully took out the Shadow Leopard's Underworld Core, and then peeled the skin and took the meat for food rations.

After dealing with the Shadow Leopard, Shi Jiu walked out of the cave, and there was a black-footed worm outside the cave.
