"Li Zhen, don't worry about me, I will retreat first! This time it is really an eighty-year-old lady who has fallen for the child, I have to find a way to run away first......"

Mo Qingping's voice came faintly, but soon, as the white wolf disappeared into the forest, it disappeared without a trace.

The dense forest blocked Li Zhen's divine sense, and the fog around him was deep, which made the sky and the earth dark, everything was cloudy, and even the scenery was difficult to see.

He shrank into inches and chased a few steps, but soon stopped for the time being.

Mo Qingping's breath was faintly heard in the air, but the traces were rapidly dissipating and had become blurred.

The dream world overlaps with time and space, and the law of propagation in reality seems to have lost its effect here, and it is impossible to track all the way, and can only be detected after getting closer.

"The white wolf doesn't seem to be a simple thing, at least it has to be a demon king-level existence, but I don't know if it's a spirit born in the dream world, or a dream spirit body that sneaks in from the outside world. ”

Li Zhen recalled the picture of Fang Cai's attack and secretly guessed.

"Senior Mo has lost some spiritual strength, and I don't know how long I can hold out in the wolf's mouth, maybe I will escape by myself when I find the opportunity, and I may not be able to come back to me.

And behind, there are also chasers of the Ichimoku clan!

If it is besieged, there is a risk of collapse, and there is no reason to lose the dream spirit......

Let's go in and look in the woods!"

Walking in the dense black forest again, without Mo Qingping leading the way, Li Zhen's first reaction was that the forest sea was vast and aimless.

He possessed the ability to perceive time and earth, and he could only sense a large area of vague terrain, specific to his own location, surrounded by fog and chaos.

And in this dream world, there are not many terrains that he has explored, at best, it is only Dream Butterfly Valley, the back mountain, and a few places in the Wandering Soul Plain.

He could still clearly sense that the terrain was clear, but there was no need to turn back, he could only continue to explore the dark depths ahead.

Shrinking ......

Shrinking ......

Re-shrink ......

Shifting and transposing one after another, constantly retreating, the terrain in Li Zhen's mind opened a long path of dozens of miles.

The surroundings became deeper and quieter, and the air seemed to freeze.

The most likely thing to happen in a dream is to get lost, and once you lose your bearings, when you come back to your senses, you are already at the end of the world.

Because the space here is not a real cave, but an illusion created by the dream itself.

The distance between him and Mo Qingping at this moment is both infinitely far and infinitely close.

The key is cognition, if you can recognize where he is, you can accurately locate him, and if you can't recognize him, then there is no way but to wander around like looking for a needle in a haystack.

I don't know how long it has been, Li Zhen vaguely generated the induction of qi, stepped forward violently, and came to a suspicious place.

It was a place where fierce fighting had broken out not long ago, with trees skewed, deep pits of size and pits scattered in all directions, and the air filled with heavy blood and all kinds of evil forces.

Li Zhen sniffed carefully for a while and confirmed that this was the place where the white wolf and Senior Mo were fighting.

"Did Senior Mo escape, or was he eaten?"

There was neither Mo Qingping nor the corpse of the white wolf here, and Li Zhen couldn't even judge whether his dream spirit body had chosen to return.

And if he had escaped, he might have thought that he had been obedient and returned, and he might not necessarily stay where he was.

"It's troublesome now, the surrounding qi is disturbed, and it's even harder to find!"

Li Zhen had no choice but to follow his instincts and continue to move forward, intending to try his luck.

However, what Li Zhen didn't expect was that Mo Qingping's whereabouts were not found, but a strong aroma interrupted his thoughts.

Li Zhen came back to his senses, looked around, and confirmed.

"The aroma of bluegrass!"

This is already the depths of the forest, inspired by the outside world, the Yin Qi has been transformed, and many woody vitality have been transformed into strange-shaped trees.

There are also some that have been transformed into exotic flowers and plants, and some of them have shown the characteristics of spiritual materials, creating an unknown fragrance that Li Zhen can smell.

This time, he smelled an aroma similar to the texture of an orchid.

Mo Qingping once said that there are two main reasons why many nameless spiritual materials in the dream world are useless.

One is that these species have complex traits, each of which has chaotic attributes that are difficult to summarize, and it is difficult for a person to sort out their functions without spending a huge amount of money.

The second is that these things do not form populations, and there is no fixed way of reproduction and inheritance.

Even if there are geniuses who can fully study such species, most of them will only benefit from a unique product at hand, and there is no way to transfer it to other similar species.

All the experience and benefits he gained from these studies will be a one-shot deal.

In this way, it is inevitable that the gains outweigh the losses.

Normal people are pursuing rainbow flowers and other dream materials, not to mention how much they are worth, but they are a stable variety, after knowing their characteristics and place of production, they can come over from time to time to harvest according to their needs, and generate stable income.

The income that the monk obtained during this period would not be the three or five thousand spirit stones at that time, but endlessly.

But Li Zhen thought about it carefully, but found that these two reasons are still the same in the final analysis.

"Ordinary people study these things, and after all, the gains outweigh the losses.

Even if you really want to sacrifice your own interests and come to Shennong to taste a hundred herbs, it will only be meaningful if it is useful to future generations.

I don't seem to have to worry about that, though.

Whether these things are useful or not, not by looking, nor by guessing, but by smelling.

If you don't feel anything when you smell it, it must be mediocre, and if you don't emit much fragrance, or even if there is no fragrance at all, it's just a false thing created by dreams, which is equivalent to ordinary materials.

And if it is a fragrant one, at least it is also a spiritual material that does not enter the stream.

It has a strong aroma, and even can produce wonderful effects, it is even more worth trying.

I can even go beyond the species itself and collect the various scents in it, and summarize it in terms of more subtle composition.

If there is the same fragrance among different species, it can be extracted and refined, or it can be studied separately.

Spiritual materials and spiritual essence are not Chinese cabbages on the side of the road, they can be seen anywhere, which can already save a lot of time and energy, and ensure that all you worry about are such fragrant things. ”

Thinking of this, Li Zhen stepped forward and carefully sensed the spiritual material he had inadvertently discovered.

It looks a bit like bluegrass, but in the center of the branches and leaves grows long whiskers like small snakes, and the windless ones dance to themselves, as if they have life.

The fragrance that Li Zhen smelled did not come from the branches, leaves, flowers and fruits, etc., but from the crown of these small snake-like tentacles.

It is an unknown thing that resembles safflower and has the fragrance of orchid grass, and just a little ingestion makes people feel that their ears and eyes are bright, and the surroundings seem to be much brighter.

The law of smell is that when you smell it, you already taste the relevant smell and aroma.

Sniffing is actually "savoring" the particles of matter in the air with the organ of smell.

Aroma corresponds to pleasure, foul smell corresponds to disgust, and this reaction itself is a rough judgment of whether it is beneficial or harmful.

This is a means of measurement given by heaven and earth, and it is also a magical power possessed by mortals.

Li Zhen believes that mortals also have supernatural abilities.

These instinctive reactions to smell and judge whether a substance is beneficial or harmful are undoubtedly innate to creatures who do not have a sense of smell.

Because of the miracle of the creation of heaven and earth, human beings and other animals with a sense of smell can safely judge the nature of the particles dispersed in the air by capturing them, and attribute them to the advantages or harms, so as to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, which is the ability.

Smelling this aroma made Li Zhen have an extremely strong intuition, which should be a stimulating spice that is beneficial to the senses, or can be used as an elixir.

What's more noteworthy is that some of the ingredients in it have something in common with the deformed spirit material that resembles a dandelion and looks like a splicing of various plants that I picked earlier.

Li Zhen's mind carefully analyzed, and through the individual embodiment of a certain fragrance, he actually screened out the exact same ingredients.

It is a tiny hairspring that looks like catkins but has a pale blue color.

"This kind of thing seems to be able to enhance the sense of hearing and vision, and increase these two senses......

Especially for sound waves, the ability to hear is more important than sight!

At the same time, there seems to be a feeling that the body has become lighter and the qi is flexible. ”

Li Zhen didn't know the name of this thing, but based on this characteristic, he remembered a strange thing called Wenyao grass.

"Xiangcheng" said that Qi Huangong cut down the mountains and smelled the grass, and the people were deaf.

This means that this thing, called smelling grass, has the effect of deafnessing the ears.

There is also a book "Collecting Memories" that smells the grass and the person who takes it is light.

These are exactly the characteristics of the herbaceous fragrance.

He tentatively named it Herb Incense, and suddenly took the initiative to use his talent for smelling incense to absorb these same fragrances, like food, and inhale them all.

The forest, which had been as dark as the night and shrouded in gray and black haze, suddenly became a few minutes brighter.

"It's really useful, but I don't know if this effect can continue to stack. ”

Li Zhen was a little surprised in his heart, and at the same time, he was also a little surprised.

He had always felt that it was too much and inconvenient to move around in this dream, and relying only on the talent of smelling fragrance was like going out of the body at night, far less convenient than the clear synaesthesia of day travel.

This scent of herbs may be able to change this situation!

Li Zhen simply searched for Mo Qingping's whereabouts while continuing to wander through the forest.

In fact, along the way, he smelled a lot of aromas, and the Yin Qi scattered in this area accumulated, forming a chaotic dream containing many spiritual projections, filled with projections composed of various substances.

Judging from the richness of its material foundation, it is in no way inferior to those caves and blessed lands.

The only problem is that these things are distorted by the Heaven and Earth Dao of the Dream Realm, and it is too difficult to sort out.

In a normal forest, although there are many trees, there will eventually be a mountain of the same species, and the same is true of the vegetation that grows between the trees.

But along the way, Li Zhen was stunned that he did not see the inherent species that could stabilize its traits, but found a deformed patchwork of similar ones.

Some of them are shaped like banlan roots, but the top of their heads has beaded flowers;

Some grow as tall as corn, and the grains and fruits hang high, and the growth is gratifying;

Some of them are like vines, bearing fruits the size of pumpkins, but when they are cut, they are a puddle of muddy water that immediately flows all over the ground.

If it were to be collected and distinguished in the same way according to the normal method, it would be impossible for Li Zhen to obtain useful things from it, but after smelling it closely, he quickly discovered some patterns, so as to find the area where the essence seemed to accumulate and the projection was concentrated.

Here, he picked a total of more than ten kinds of deformed spiritual materials with strange appearances, ranging from cordyceps flowers to cauliflower, and found commonalities from seven of them, and obtained the fragrance of herbs.

Li gathered together the tiny gossamer that was shaped like catkins but had a pale blue color.

For the time being, he didn't have time to be deeply inspired and use the magic of incense to collect and simulate its fragrance, but he could directly use this object and taste its sexual taste through personal experimentation.

Li Zhen urged the dream trick to inject his spiritual power into these strange flowers and plants, squeezing out indigo spiritual liquid similar to grass juice from it, and refining and extracting it with his talent for smelling fragrance, and constantly purifying it.

Not long after, a large mouthful of refined medicinal juice appeared in front of him.

Li Li didn't dislike this kind of thing and looked strange, swallowed it in one gulp, and then threw away the squeezed grass residue.

Rumble!

Suddenly, there was a loud and silent noise in his head, and the body in his dream really became more and more deaf and sensitive.

This is an unprecedented manifestation.

In the past, although Li Zhen had cultivated the Dao body, he did not have the slightest superiority in these aspects, which was just an ordinary foundation building level.

Now, he seems to have suddenly given birth to supernatural powers related to vision and hearing, especially the sense of hearing, as if painting an all-round three-dimensional perception, and sound waves are like entities, flowing and intertwining in his mind, forming a colorless picture.

At this time, Li Zhen realized that the surroundings were not as calm as he had felt before.

The sound of the wind, the sound of trees, insects and ants, the sound of people, ripples like water waves ripple in the air, intertwined into a special picture.

The enhancement of vision has expanded the visibility of the surroundings to tens of feet away, and the previous black haze can no longer affect itself.

Even the supernatural powers of knowing the time and the place have become a little better.

Using this ability, Li Zhen walked around several more times, intermittently finding some creatures living in this forest.

There are indeed quite a few living creatures in this Black Forest.

It's just that there are no otherworldly creatures such as one-eyed clans or white wolves and dream butterflies here, they are just ordinary snakes, insects, rats and ants.

Li Zhen didn't sense a powerful aura from them, nor did he smell any fragrance, so he simply didn't see any of them.

After a while, he came under a huge willow tree.
