There is not much difference between the Hengduan Mountains in the middle of the continent and those in the east, and if I have to pick out some differences, it is probably just that there are more human monks invading the former, and the scope of the advance is wider.

However, even if you leave Shuangjiao City and choose to enter the mountain range, compared to the vast Hengduan Mountain Range, once you go a little deeper into the mountains, the probability of meeting the rest of the monks in it becomes much lower.

Normally, the only thing that a monk can encounter is all kinds of demon beasts.

Of course, there are specific places that are excluded from this list.

For example, a canyon where Zhuangda is located now.

This canyon is called Linyuan, and the valley is criss-crossed by ravines, and there is an abyss in the deepest part.

There is often a third-order spiritual plant called Jinyanghua growing in various places in the Linyuan Valley, although it is a kind of spiritual plant that cannot be advanced, but the effect is peculiar, it is a kind of spiritual plant that the Imperial Spirit Sect wantonly buys in the market.

Due to the high price, some monks from the foundation building period often come here to try their luck and see if they are lucky enough to come across such a plant.

Among these monks, most of them are casual cultivators with Shuangjiao City as the center of their activities, while the remaining small part are from some nearby monk forces, and these monks have either taken over tasks within the sect or clan, or have their own training.

Zhuangda probably learned about this place from other monks half a year ago, and he didn't care much about it at first, after all, the task given to him by His Majesty was to collect a large number of items that still had spiritual energy left in the mountain range, such as demon beast bones, spirit plant residues, etc.

Collecting spirit plants is secondary.

But by chance, he searched for the bones of demon beasts and found the vicinity of Linyuan Valley, and after he observed the map and noticed this, he chose to stop by and take a look.

Flying between various ravines, he took the initiative to avoid all the monks he encountered, and finally at the corner of a ravine, he actually encountered a golden sunflower.

There was no doubt that after that, this golden sunflower was brought back to the Boundary Source Space by him.

At the beginning, Zhuangda originally wanted to plant this golden sunflower near the three Juyuan bamboos, but what he didn't expect was that this third-order spirit flower seemed to have a special attraction to the jade bees in the space.

The golden sunflower had just regained a little bit of vitality under his spiritual rain technique, and a swarm of jade bees surged over from all over the space, and the stiff spell dispersed several times, but every time he left, the group of jade bees immediately surrounded the golden sunflower.

They flew around the pale golden flower, and they hummed merrily.

This was repeated several times, and Stiff finally chose to give up the eviction.

He stood a little farther away, quietly looking at the golden sunflower and the group of jade bees that were obviously in a strange mood.

Without waiting long, more Yuluo bees emerged from the hive.

In the center of them, there was also the much larger queen bee of Yuluo Bee, who had not been seen for a long time.

......

......

In the end, this golden sunflower still failed to survive in the boundary source space.

After the queen bee arrived, the other jade bees took the initiative to get out of the way.

The former passed through this passage, and his chubby body fell from the air, lying on the flowers of the golden sunflower, and an invisible golden aura spread.

In just a quarter of an hour, this spirit plant of up to the third rank withered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

And the aura around the queen bee of the jade bee became more intense, the whole body became more crystal clear, and several stripes on the abdomen also deepened.

During the whole process of this golden sunflower being absorbed, Stiff didn't react, just watched quietly not far away.

It wasn't until the golden sunflower completely withered and the queen bee staggered and flew again that he stretched out his palm.

Feeling the summons from the Great Divine Sense, the Jade Luo Queen Bee flew over obediently and stopped in the palm of his hand.

The round body rolled a few times, the tentacles on the head swayed up and down, left and right, and Er raised his head and opened his jaw as if he had a full burp.

Stiff Da observed the jade robe queen bee in his hand for a moment, and found nothing abnormal.

Immediately, he gently held it and took it out of the boundary source space, and came to Li Xuangang, who was sitting cross-legged in the cave mansion in the outside world.

......

......

There is a thick fog in the valley all year round, so as soon as you enter the canyon, the surrounding light immediately darkens.

Shrouded in black robes, he walked through the ravines in the canyon and quickly disappeared into the thick fog.

By the time he reappeared, he was already directly above the abyss.

In the past six months, under Li Xuangang's arrangement, Zhuangda has come to Linyuan Valley a total of five times.

But all five times were to no avail.

"This time, I don't know if I can find a mature hydrangea again. ”

"According to the inference of the Venerable, one more plant should be enough for the Yuluo Bee Queen to break the bottleneck and enter the third order. ”

Thinking of this in his heart, the next moment, he ignored the layer of thick white mist that lingered above the abyss and flew directly into the abyss.

His body sank rapidly, and soon he was about a hundred feet deep in the abyss, which was even darker, with only some faint, unknown light faintly shining in various places.

It stopped in mid-air and hung in the middle of the abyss.

The face covered by the black hood tilted up slightly, and the next moment a pair of scarlet eyes were revealed.

There is a yin and evil aura in the abyss, and being in this place makes Stiff feel a kind of comfort inexplicably.

His gaze moved left and right, extending his consciousness along both sides of the abyss.

After making sure that there was no strange aura around him, Stiff slowly approached the cliff in front of him.

The abyss is like a giant mouth, and the cliffs on both sides are extremely rugged, and there are strange rocks on it, with some bumps and depressions from time to time.

The stiff anomaly pays attention to the sunken spots, as there may be some monsters lurking inside.

Once before, he was ambushed by a centipede-like third-order lower-grade demon beast.

It took a long time to subdue it.

Fortunately, he had been on guard, and the centipede-like monster's venom didn't work on him, so he didn't suffer any injuries.

Heighten your vigilance and slowly move forward along the cliff, looking for traces of the golden sunflower while guarding against possible sudden danger.

In this way, Zhuangda Xun went out for a long distance, and after about five or six hours, he finally stopped near a cave in a hollow place.

He stretched out his palm and probed forward into the void, and his gaze was fixed on the dark hole.

The nose was inciting, and a trace of fluctuation finally appeared on the originally extremely calm face, which was a slight look of surprise.

Quietly stimulating his spiritual power in his body, he casually summoned the black thunder drill out of the storage bag and carried it in his hand.

The body moved forward, then slowly descended, and finally stood on the outermost part of the cave.

The cave is two zhang high and three zhang wide, and when you look inside, it seems that the space inside is getting smaller and smaller, so it gives people a slightly imprisoned feeling.

Stiff Da maintained a higher vigilance at this time, although his eyes and divine sense could not detect any abnormalities from it, but in the Linyuan Valley, no matter how well prepared he was, it was not too much.

The scale of Linyuan Valley is huge, and there are many kinds of demon beasts in it, and the concealment ability of some demon beasts is even more staggering.

There was a faint wind blowing out of the cave, and he stood stiffly at the entrance of the cave, and the black robe on his body was lifted from time to time.

The wind blowing out of the cave is very refreshing, not only does it not feel the slightest turbidity, but even stiffness, and it also feels a kind of tranquility that belongs to the mountains and forests.

"It seems that there is another place connected to this cave. ”

Thinking about this silently in his heart, the next moment, Stiff Da stepped into the cave with the black thunder drill in his hand.

It was pitch black, the rock walls on both sides of the body were uneven, and there were many raised rock blocks.

The cave was supposed to be a natural formation, and the stiff man turned his head to look behind him, and there was a row of footprints left by his own walking.

Reaching out and touching a rock on the left side of his body, he immediately felt a delicate piece of it on his hand.

This is the fine flying dust that the rocks inside the cave have been naturally consumed and then accumulated over the years.

Stiff guessed in his mind how many years no one had ever set foot in this cave, and continued to walk forward with the breath he had felt before.

But the deeper you go, the narrower the space becomes.

Eventually, after walking a distance of no more than twenty or thirty feet, the cave came to an end.

At the bottom of the cave, which could only hold two people, there was a hint of confusion on his face.

Because he searched all the way from the entrance of the cave, he searched very carefully, but he didn't see any trace of the golden sunflower.

This made him wonder if he had felt something wrong before?

Stopping where he was, paying attention to the vague breath in the space around him again, about a quarter of an hour later, he suddenly opened his eyes and turned sideways to stare at a huge rock in front of him.

Half-crouching, he noticed that there was an incomparably slender crack in the surface of the rock.

So he stretched out his palm and pressed it, feeling it with the softest palm.

After a few moments, he stood up, knowing in his heart.

From the cracks in this huge rock, there was a faint sound of wind.

But after discovering this strangeness, Stiff didn't take immediate action, but glanced in the direction of the outside of the cave.

After making sure that he hadn't found the breath of other monks outside, he immediately waved his hand and took out the Sancai Isolation Spirit Array that Li Xuangang had given him.

The spell was cast to activate the circle, and a curtain of light fell, so the space was isolated from the outside world.

After making sure that the movement and aura here would not be felt by the monks who might pass by outside, Zhuangda decisively lifted the black thunder drill in his hand.

And his right hand quickly dried up, taking on a shiny black metallic texture.

Immediately after, countless black arcs were generated on the black thunder drill.

Raising his hand and waving it, this ordinary boulder did not have the slightest resistance under such an attack.

After the Zombie Imperial Envoy Black Thunder Gong launched an attack, it was immediately completely torn apart, turning into countless broken stones.

The shattered stones fell, and the next moment, the white dust in the sky was kicked up, and a larger air flow poured out from behind the boulder, blowing the black robe on the stiff body.

Before everything was calm and Stiff had not yet reacted, he only felt a sudden bright light, but a dark shadow suddenly burst out from behind the rock, rushing to the place where Stiff was punched in front of him at an incredible speed.

In a hurry, the latter could only lift the Black Thunder Drill to block it, and immediately collapsed the flesh and blood on his chest and transformed it into a corpse refining physique.

"Bang bang bang. ”

Dozens of fights occurred in an instant, but ended very quickly.

Before the white dust had completely fallen, Stiff had already walked out of the dust with the corpse of a lizard-like second-order high-grade demon beast in his hand.

A solemn face.
