Chapter 103: Outwitting Medicinal Herbs

Two white figures moved quickly on the glacier, and in a short time they were on the periphery of the Pinnacle Peak.

Stepping on some of the exposed rocks, Cheng Xing raised his head and squinted at the towering peak, compared to the last time he climbed to the top, this time the mountain range was steeper, and the temperature was lower, and the terrifying wind was blowing, even with the screen ring, it was still difficult to stand for a long time.

"I don't know what they're looking for." Cheng Xing looked at another mountain peak that was only a few hundred zhang away, which was where Fang Yi and the others had gone before, but when he recalled it, it seemed that he was looking for some fire.

I didn't think about it carefully, I had already reached the peak of the sharp bones, and I would definitely get these two urgently needed medicinal materials first, and then go to find out the situation over there.

Compared with Cheng Xing's calmness, Wang Cheng looked a little embarrassed, the color of the screen ring in his hand was far inferior to the one given to Cheng Xing by Xueling, and his body was a little staggered when he walked under the influence of the cold wind blowing at high speed, and the cold wind slowly calmed down after climbing over a few boulders.

Hiding behind the stones, Wang Cheng quickly took out another map, which was crookedly marked with some locations of Jiangu Peak that could avoid gusts of wind, and reminded Cheng Xing while watching: "Senior Brother Cheng, the higher you go, the stronger the wind will be, and some of the stones on it are extremely smooth, we have to be careful." ”

Although Cheng Xing has wings and can fly freely in the sky, Wang Cheng still reminded him that he seems to have forgotten that he can't fly yet.

Cheng Xing didn't say anything, just called up the small screen, and swept a few times to the position on the mountain, and the paths appeared on the screen.

[The system has automatically optimized the route for you.] 】

[Follow this route to climb smoothly.] 】

The prompt sound of the system sounded in his mind, and Cheng Xing also smiled knowingly, and said to Wang Cheng: "Senior brother, how far are we from the extremely cold land vine?" ”

Wang Cheng pointed to a hidden cave at the foot of the mountain and said: "There, at least there is a thousand zhang away, I was found by them near this cave before, and I grabbed a few vines in a panic." ”

Following the direction of his finger, Cheng Xing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he could see that there was still a lot of frozen soil around this sharp bone peak, which was in stark contrast to the pile of rocks he was walking through now.

Looking up at the steep mountain, the extra trail on the rugged cliff face can barely pass through one person, and there is no shelter below, and from below you can see whether anyone is trying to go up the mountain.

"Let's go, they shouldn't find us over there." Cheng Xing said, and then took a step down the mountain.

Although the mountain wind was strong, it still couldn't stop the two of them from moving forward, and they arrived at the foot of the mountain after a while.

"System, retrieve the Extreme Cold Vine." Cheng Xing looked at the cave not far from him, and immediately began to look for it.

After a while, the positioning of the system was transmitted, and the picture on the small screen appeared in front of me.

[Retrieved the extremely cold vine in the cave, about 16 zhang away from the host.] 】

"Is there a demonic beast that guards medicinal herbs?" Cheng Xing asked vigilantly, the general rare and exotic grass is guarded by a powerful demonic beast, and this extremely cold vine, as a cold thing, should also have a guardian demonic beast.

[Discover the fourth-order peak demonic beast - Ice and Fire Spirit Snake. In good condition, in short-term hibernation. 】

[Ice and Fire Spirit Snake is an extremely rare species of snake-shaped demonic beasts, with the blood of ancient beasts flowing in its body, and likes to be in extremely cold or hot places, and has a soft spot for medicinal materials rich in these two energies. 】

The prompt issued by the system gave Cheng Xing a headache, looking at a snake shaped demonic beast with flames on the screen that was less than a zhang long and had regular ice crystals and flame patterns on the scales, and the white snake head had a flame-shaped demonic beast, huddled in the depths of the cave, where there was a soft piece of soil, and the green vines in the other positions were covered by thick ice crystals, and half of them were under the soil, exuding a cold atmosphere.

"I didn't expect that there would be a demonic beast close to the strength of the Dou King in this kind of place, and now once there is a fight, it will inevitably attract Fang Yi and the three of them, and it will be troublesome at that time." Cheng Xing couldn't help frowning.

"Senior Brother Cheng, this is it, I found the branch vine here before." Wang Cheng took out a piece of dried vine and dug it in a snow-covered pit

Cheng Xing looked at Wang Cheng who was still digging the previous soil pit, and there were other roots in the soil pit, although this frozen soil was quite difficult to chisel, but the power of cold contained in it was also quite rich, and it was indeed very suitable for vines in extremely cold land to continue to grow rhizomes.

However, he didn't care about these now, because in the cave not far away, there was a snake-shaped demonic beast comparable to the king of Dou, how to take away the extremely cold earth vine without disturbing the demonic beast, but it made Cheng Xing difficult.

"System, is there any way to obtain the Extremely Cold Earth Vine without disturbing the Demon Beast?" Cheng Xing had no choice but to ask the system tentatively.

After a moment of silence, the system replied.

[The Ice and Fire Spirit Snake likes medicinal materials rich in ice and fire, and although the Extreme Cold Earth Vine is rich in ice attributes, the host has a medicinal herb rich in dual attributes in his hand, and he can try to exchange it with it. 】

"Dual-property? Could it be the Ice Spirit Flame Grass? Cheng Xing was reminded by the system, and then he remembered that he had gotten an Ice Spirit Flame Grass earlier, and he originally planned to refine the Blood Bodan, but he had never had time to get all the materials, so he didn't expect to be able to use it at this time.

[Yes, the Ice and Fire Spirit Snake has extremely high spirituality, and the peak of the fourth order already has spiritual intelligence, so it will probably not refuse this kind of transaction. 】

The system also intimately gave a trading judgment, so that Cheng Xing could boldly change.

"Let's go into the cave and have a look." Cheng Xing didn't want to waste time here, so he walked directly to the snow-covered cave.

Cheng Xing didn't plan to reveal this matter to Wang Cheng in advance, he had to go to the cave to talk about it, otherwise it would be easy to make Wang Cheng suspicious.

Stepping on the snow at the entrance and stepping into the cave covered with a thin layer of ice, unlike the cold outside, although there is ice inside, the temperature is relatively high, and the further you go into the cave, the higher the temperature.

And the rustling footsteps also woke up the Ice and Fire Spirit Snake that was sleeping for a short time.

"Stingly... Thorny..."

The ice and fire spirit snake that was more than a long man, spit out a mixed snake letter of two colors, raised his eyelids tiredly, and looked at the two humans walking at the entrance of the cave with his eyes.

Wang Cheng listened to the sound echoing in the cave, and also noticed this strange snake-shaped demonic beast, and after feeling the oppressive aura, he swallowed his saliva and asked in a low voice: "Senior Brother Cheng, are you sure to deal with this demonic beast?" It seems that this demonic beast seems to be of the fifth order. ”

Cheng Xing also took a deep breath, and under the vigilant gaze of the Ice and Fire Spirit Snake, he took out a pot of Ice Spirit Flame Grass with soil, and then put it on his palm and shook it up and down.

As soon as this Ice Spirit Flame Grass appeared, the Ice and Fire Spirit Snake's diamond-shaped pupils glowed, and its body also stood upright, and it was not difficult to see the longing in its eyes.

"What, do you want this Ice Spirit Flame Grass?" Cheng Xing took in all of its every move, and then withdrew his palm, carefully hiding the Ice Spirit Flame Grass, showing an extremely cherished look.

This can make the Ice and Fire Spirit Snake anxious, it is not low in intelligence, knowing that once it gets this magical Ice Spirit Flame Grass, it is likely to be able to successfully break through to the fifth order, so it spits out the snake letter and exposes the extremely cold vine hidden under its body.

After Wang Cheng watched Cheng Xing's operation, he just opened his mouth and didn't dare to take a mouthful, for fear of affecting the communication between this person and a snake.

"This, this is not good, I am a rare dual-attribute medicinal material, if you take a broken wood vine and exchange it with me, I will suffer a big loss." Cheng Xing deliberately said this, for fear that the spirit snake would know that the two of them were specifically looking for this extremely cold vine.

Sure enough, after being performed like this by Cheng Xing, the Ice and Fire Spirit Snake simply left the nest of the dwelling and ran behind him with its snake tail.

Just when Cheng Xing wondered why it left, he saw this ice and fire spirit snake with two demon cores in his mouth appear in front of the two of them again, and as soon as he spit out his mouth, the two demon cores rolled to his feet.

Cheng Xing glanced down, and the information was displayed in front of him.

【Fourth-Order Demon Core】

At the same time, this Ice and Fire Spirit Snake also showed a look that was close to pleading, and its body kept writhing, as if it was increasing its chips to Cheng Xing.

Looking at such a sincere Ice and Fire Spirit Snake, Cheng Xing also accepted it when he saw it, took out the Ice Spirit Flame Grass, carefully placed it on the ground, and then said: "Then you have to keep your promise, if you regret it, don't trouble us when this medicinal herb is destroyed." ”

The triangular head of the Ice and Fire Spirit Snake nodded again and again, leaned to the side, carefully hooked the flower pot containing the Ice Spirit Flame Grass with the snake's tail, and made way for Cheng Xing and the others.

Cheng Xing also breathed a sigh of relief, and walked quickly to the soft soil.

Stretching out his hand, he could still feel the slightest heat on it, and Cheng Xing directly scanned it to make sure.

[Extremely cold ground vine, three hundred years old, excellent medicinal properties. 】

After a brief message, Cheng Xing quickly took out a jade knife from his backpack, turned over the surface soil, and dug down the rhizome, and after digging about two zhang deep, he finally saw the whole picture of this extremely cold vine.

I saw that at the end of the wooden rhizome was a half-foot-long, emerald green vine, the whole body was crystal clear, and there was a lot of liquid-like wriggling essence inside.

"Phew, I've finally found you." Cheng Xing also breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly cut it carefully with a jade knife, and after cutting off the vine, he did not take this stem away, but buried it carefully, as long as this stem is still there, a new extremely cold vine can be born after hundreds of years.

After loading the prepared jade box, Cheng Xing backfilled the soil.

The Ice and Fire Spirit Snake who was watching from the sidelines watched the treasure that he had guarded for many years being taken away like this, and his eyes were also a lot darker.

Cheng Xing looked at the appearance of the spirit snake, and also smiled embarrassedly, then took out a black scroll from his backpack, placed it on the fresh soil, raised the soil in his hand with a smile and said: "This is a scroll of fire attribute exercises, the level is low-level, even if it is compensated for you." ”

Listening to Cheng Xing's words, the Ice and Fire Spirit Snake's eyes were no longer sad, but looked at Cheng Xing with grateful eyes, and even rubbed Cheng Xing's mud-stained boots with a triangular snake head.

And Wang Cheng on the side, looking at Cheng Xing so heroic, his eyes were about to pop out.

"Cheng... Senior Brother Cheng... Thisβ€”" Wang Cheng stammered.

Cheng Xing couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly put his arm around Wang Cheng's shoulders and strode out of the cave.

Out of the cave, Cheng Xing whispered: "It's okay, it's still important to have medicinal materials, we still have to go and get ice crystal flowers, if there is a conflict here, Fang Yi and they will soon be able to feel the battle fluctuations." ”

After speaking, Cheng Xing also remembered something, it seemed that the fighting skills he had selected for Wang Cheng had always forgotten to give.

As soon as the palm of the hand was flipped, a set of martial arts fighting techniques appeared in the hand.

"By the way, I was looking for an opportunity to give it to my senior brother first, but I didn't have time, and today is just right." Cheng Xing smiled and stuffed the scroll into Wang Cheng's arms.

"Senior brother, what is this?" Wang Cheng looked at the scroll that was suddenly stuffed into him, and he was also at a loss, this mysterious junior disciple was a rare herb and a high-level technique as soon as he made a move.

"This is a set of Xuan-level high-level wood attribute martial arts fighting techniques. There is nothing more advanced for the time being. Cheng Xing spread his hands helplessly.

Looking at Cheng Xing's expression, Wang Cheng couldn't help but rush forward and hug Cheng Xing, and hurriedly said: "Good brother, your gift is too heavy, as soon as you make a move, you are a high-level Xuanjie." ”

The smile on Wang Cheng's face at this moment was extremely bright, and he held this set of fighting skills tightly in his arms, for fear of freezing.

Cheng Xing looked at Wang Cheng's happy appearance, and smiled helplessly, then waved his hand and said, "Let's go, there are ice crystal flowers." ”

Climbing all the way along the sheep intestine trail, the rugged mountain road and the strong wind blowing between the mountains from time to time made the pace of the two gradually slow down.

However, the weather today is not bad, and there is no snowstorm like before.

Although the road was difficult, it was safe to reach the last boulder to the top of the mountain.

The cold wind at the top of the mountain is not as lazy as in the mountains, and it blows all year round, so that there are only bare rocks on the top of the mountain, and there is no snow at all.

"Senior brother, rest... Break, it's too cold. Wang Cheng couldn't help but sigh, trying to warm the hands that were swollen and red from the cold, his face was also red at the moment, his skin began to crack because of the loss of moisture, and the blood oozing from his lips had been frozen.

On Cheng Xing's side, the situation is better, but his face is red from the cold.

Seeing Wang Cheng like this, Cheng Xing said: "Senior brother, the wind is strong on the top of the mountain ahead, I'll go alone, you just wait for me here, don't move, I'll come when I go." ”

At this moment, Wang Cheng was already numb from the cold, nodded his head indiscriminately, and hid in the leeward place to wrap his body with fighting energy.

Cheng Xing took out the ice spirit beads in his backpack, and then quietly set up a protective shield around Wang Cheng that could absorb cold qi to protect this honest and honest senior brother.

Stimulated by the bitter cold wind, the Ice Spirit Bead continued to release light, and finally formed a light curtain, enveloping Cheng Xing inside, and all the wind that approached him was directly absorbed.

With the help of the Ice Spirit Bead, Cheng Xing finally stepped on the top of the mountain.

The summit is not large, the bare black rock is extremely hard and there is no snow, and at the end of the mountain, there is a cliff.

Looking at the bare mountaintop, Cheng Xing's heart couldn't help but sink: "Impossible, how can it not be?" ”

After some searching, a dark blue flower appeared on the small screen, dancing in the cold wind, even though the endless abyss was below.

"So it's under this cliff." Cheng Xing breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly ran to the cliff at the top of the mountain, and sure enough, he saw an ice crystal flower in full bloom.

Cheng Xing didn't think much about it, the purple cloud wings behind him unfolded, one hand held the ice spirit bead, and the other hand stretched out to the ice crystal flower, along with the fingers breaking the transparent stem with the flower, the dark blue flower was picked by Cheng Xing, and the main part left behind could continue to survive here.

"Alright, this time it's a perfect mission." Cheng Xing put it in his backpack and rushed back.

With these two medicinal materials, the Cold Crystal Compound Body Pill could also be refined, and the injuries in Xue Ling's body could finally be healed, thinking of this, the corners of Cheng Xing's mouth couldn't help but rise.
