Chapter 320
"A total of fifteen spirit stones," Huang Gong glanced at the account book, his face couldn't see anything, and he was quite calm, "Daoyou, this is going to the Demon Beast Forest?"
Mo Ghost put the spirit stone on the table, and raised his eyebrows when he heard his words, "Yes." β
"It just so happens that I'm going to go to the forest too, why don't you get a companion with a fellow Daoist?" Huang Gong laughed, as if inadvertently mentioned, "It's freezing outside, and it's even more difficult to distinguish the direction after the snow, with me here, at least this one can be walked casually." β
"The boss is going out too?" a guest in the hall turned around when he heard this.
"Yes, I haven't been out for a long time, and there is not much demon beast meat in the inn, so it will be better to go out and hunt more this time, and it will be better to have a winter," Huang Gong said with a smile, putting away the spirit stone handed over by Mo Ghost, "It is rumored that there is a big demon in the northern demon beast forest, I will go quickly." β
"How many days is the boss going?" said the guest, who regretted it, "It seems that I can't eat what you cooked." β
Huang Gong secretly glanced at Mo Ghost, who didn't speak, "How many days I have been here, I don't know, if I'm lucky, I'll come back in a few days, if I'm unlucky, it's possible for ten days and a half months, it's not accurate." β
"Then I wish the boss all the best!" the monk in the inn arched his hand.
"To borrow your auspicious words," Huang Gong replied, "the inn will continue to be open, my wife will stay here, if there are any guests, I hope you will take care of the business." β
"Do you need to talk about this? In our town, there is only this inn, and if there are foreign monks, they will definitely bring them here. The monk who was eating the Lingmian steamed bun took a sip of water and shouted, "But you better come back quickly, without your food, I feel that it doesn't taste right!"
"Hunted the demon beast, come back immediately!" Huang Gong came back from the counter and followed Mo Ghost out of the inn.
"Huang Daoyou, what do you mean by this?"
"Senior, I came out of the mortal realm, I am one hundred and ninety-two years old this year, the purity of the three spiritual roots of gold, earth and wood, and the purity of the wood spirit root is sixty percent, and I have always been a casual cultivator, and when I reached the late stage of foundation building more than sixty years ago, it is basically the limit," Huang Gong said in a deep voice.
"So what?" Xiao Hei was now drowsy, and Mo Ghost held it in his arms.
"I don't want to continue to live like this for one or two hundred years, the final deadline is approaching, and the ashes will be wiped out," Huang Gong's voice was suppressed unwillingness, "Senior, I want to follow you and do things for you, as long as you give me a chance, I will not let you down." β
"Hmph, you don't even know who I am, so you want to follow me?" the corners of Mo Ghost's mouth hooked slightly.
"No matter where the predecessors come from, even if it is a casual cultivator, the achievements must be extraordinary, follow you, it is better than me to open a small inn here, there is a way out," Huang Gong's eyesight is not so good, but he has a unique set in estimating the bone age of the monk, this female cultivator is never more than a hundred years old, but the cultivation has reached the golden pill stage, and the achievements are by no means more than that.
"What do you think you have that I value?" Mo Ghost had no expression on his face, and he couldn't see any emotion.
"Poison," Huang Gong stopped, "Senior, don't dare to say anything else, I will never lose to anyone in the use of poison," he said with confidence, but soon hesitated, "But... I have been researching for so many years, all on my own. β
"Take me to Rattlesnake's territory first. "Mo Ghost didn't affirm, but he didn't deny either.
Now that she has cultivated in the middle of Jindan, if she has the opportunity to cultivate her own monk, it is not impossible, Huang Gong is a person, she is not familiar with it, and she has to say it separately, it depends on whether she has the ability to take a fancy to her. And now she is willing to let Huang Gong follow, and she also wants to give him a chance to prove it.
"Yes, you come with me. Huang Gong was relieved to see that she didn't refuse immediately.
A stranger's surrender, it is normal to be distrustful, there are no connections, it is not easy to get out of here, he himself also wants to gamble, he meets Brother Jindan here, and he doesn't know when the next time it will be.
"That's up ahead. β
Huang Gong said that he is very familiar with this place, and it is not a lie, in order to pick herbs, distinguish poisonous weeds, refine toxins, and go up the mountains and down to the sea, every terrain here, he knows exactly where he can hide.
"Stick it up. Mo Ghost took out two hidden talismans.
"I'll make a decision, you put it away," Huang Gong saw her hand over the talisman seal, and subconsciously refused.
"It's okay to deceive those low-level little snakes, do you think a sixth-order demon can be hidden?" Mo Ghost threw it directly in his hand, "Don't use the aura easily, if it's really close, don't panic, this talisman is a top-grade seal, as long as you are calm, you won't be discovered." β
"Yes," Huang Gong took over the talisman seal, and strengthened his mind, he could casually distribute high-grade hidden talismans, and he was by no means an ordinary person.
Approaching the area that Huang Gong said, Mo Ghost had already put the two spirit beasts into the spirit beast bag, and carefully came to the edge of the cliff with the hidden talisman, according to the location pointed out by Huang Gong, it was this mountain wall.
"Senior, you come with me," Huang Gong said in a low voice.
Directly at the top of the mountain, you can't see the scene on the mountain wall, and you will be found if you are not careful, Huang Gong is familiar with the terrain here, and has already found a good location.
The line here is not always horizontal, there are many small protruding hills below, uneven, but they are hidden by almost vertical cliffs, and no one passes by on weekdays, Huang Gong stumbled upon it once in order to collect herbs.
He took Mo Ghost down to a tree that grew between the cliffs, and from the angle from here, he could just see the snake cave on the opposite cliff, and he didn't need to use his divine sense.
"Senior, you see, there are dozens of snake caves there, all of them are rattlesnakes, most of them are only second-order and third-order, only two of them have mutated, one is fourth-order, and one is fifth-order, and they are also the leading snakes in the snake group. Huang Gong lowered his voice and pointed to the other side.
Mo Ghost half-squatted, carefully looking at the cliff opposite.
A few rattlesnakes were wrapped around the dry branches, three or five gathered together, their tails were raised high, and they really didn't meet the rules of the snake demon beasts, and they were too excited now.
"However, although they are abnormal now, they have never seen the shadow of the Great Demon in certainty, and I don't know how to lure it out. "Since Huang Gong discovered the anomaly here, he has always avoided it, let alone lured it out.
"It's okay, just take care of yourself. "Mo Ghost didn't expect him to do anything, and the foundation building monk didn't have a chance of winning against the sixth-order demon," Observe for a day. β
It was afternoon when the two arrived, and there was nothing unusual until the evening.
Although the rattlesnake has been staying outside, and there will be small demons left near the snake cave at all times, it has not left the range of the cliff and has always been active on the cliff.
"Senior, what should we do?" Huang Gong asked in a low voice as he looked at the getting dark.
"Keep watching, or you can go back to that cave and wait. Mo Ghost's strange pupils opened, staring at the vicinity of the snake cave. In the current season, naturally you can't use the spirit plant to investigate, and you can only use the different pupils to keep staring there.
"I followed my seniors. Huang Gong naturally couldn't go back by himself, so he shrank in the corner and continued to stare at the snake cave.
At that time, there was silence in the entire demon beast forest.
Mo Ghost looked at the snake cave in the distance, his eyes flashed, and he got up and jumped onto the top of the cliff.
Huang Gong slowed down for a moment, and when he saw the little snake climbing up, he had disappeared Mo Ghost, so he hurriedly followed up the cliff and chased in the direction she left.
"Rustleβ"
There was still a pile of snow in the forest, and the snake body made a rustling sound when pressed on it, and two second-order rattlesnakes held the head of a dead rattlesnake and slowly crawled towards the unnamed sea, and when they reached the beach, they threw the corpse down, watched it flow into the distance, and soon crawled back again.
After the rattlesnake left, the figure of Mo Ghost appeared on the beach, "You stay here." She hurriedly explained, and jumped into the unnamed sea.
Huang Gong looked at the back of her jumping in, and didn't have time to remind her to be careful, he looked around nervously, did not stay on the empty seaside, walked into the forest, and arrived at a tree, carefully checked that there were no demon beasts on it, hid in the branches, and looked around vigilantly.
Mo Ghost, who had already jumped into the Unnamed Sea, formed a vacuum area around his body, and the water-repellent bead on his right wrist emitted a white light.
As soon as he entered the water, Mo Ghost only felt that the hairs on his body stood up.
"How can the evil qi in this water be so heavy?" Mo Ghost muttered, using his aura to protect his body, fortunately, the rattlesnake had already left, otherwise he would have discovered her existence.
It's too late to think about this now, there is still a smell of blood in the sea, and Mo Ghost chased along the smell and red blood water in the direction of the unnamed sea, using spiritual power, and his divine sense paid attention to the surroundings.
The corpse thrown by the rattlesnake was also a rattlesnake, flowing down the sea naturally, naturally not as fast as the Mo ghost, and it didn't take long to see the sinking corpse.
Blood was still spilling around the body of this rattlesnake, and the sea water was blue-purple, Mo Ghost approached, did not touch it with his hands, took out a storage bag alone, sent the corpse into it with spiritual power, and immediately dived to the surface of the sea.
I don't know how many demon beasts under the unnamed sea are, and no one has been able to count their species completely, and it is not strange to even encounter any big demons, and Mo ghosts dare not stay for a long time.
In January, the sea surface was frozen, and when it touched the ice, Mo Ghost walked to the shore, and when she jumped down just now, the entire ice on the shore was in a broken state, and at that time, in order to chase the corpse, I didn't have time to take a closer look.
Huang Gong waited anxiously on the tree, and when he saw the figure of Mo Ghost on the sea, he hurriedly ran over, "Senior, you came out?"
"Hmm," Mo nodded, standing on the ice intact.
It is clear that this place could not have been accidentally broken, the entire area of the shore has been shattered, and the traces are still very new, as if it had been deliberately destroyed.
"It's fine here until I leave. Huang Gong saw her staring at the ice, and hurriedly said, "In previous years, there was a thick layer of ice, which would not melt until spring, but there were also monks who would come to hunt the kraken, but usually only dig an ice cave the size of a futon, and the location will be further inside, which is by no means the case." β
"I see," Mo Ghost nodded, "take me to the nearest place where I can hide." β
"Oh, senior, come with me. Huang Gong avoided the location of the cliff in case he was discovered, and went around and around, but returned to the Demon Beast Forest, which is mountainous, and there are more places to hide, and there are plains to go to the inn.
"Here," Huang said, pointing to a corner.
This is the location of the foot of the two peaks, a boulder is in front of it, and there are piles of rotten wood, Huang Gong stepped directly on the stone, followed the stone to the innermost, and there was a one-person-high gap between the two boulders.
He pinched a fire trigger and jumped down first, and Mo Ghost followed behind, only to find that a hole had been dug in the mountain inside.
"I once went up there to collect medicine, and I ran into a wandering rattlesnake, and I was injured and fell here, and I saved my life, so I dug into it along the cliff, and sometimes I came to the monster forest and hid here. β
Huang Gong apparently came here often, and there was a stone platform built in the innermost part of the cave, on which an oil lamp was placed, and he led the fire to illuminate the cave.
"Don't worry, I've calculated that the light in it won't reflect to the exit of the stone," Huang Gong hurriedly explained when he saw her staring at the location of the exit, "At most, it will be at the exit of the cave, and it will not be found from the top of the mountain or from the stone." β
Hearing his explanation, Mo Ghost's last bit of worry was gone, and the hand that was about to take out the moonstone stopped, nodded and didn't say anything more, he found this place really well, and it was difficult for him to find it, "Come and see, the corpse you found in the forest before, is it this poisonous blood?"
She took the rattlesnake's corpse out of the storage bag and used her spiritual power to place it in the open space in the cave, the internal organs should have been corroded, and the position of the snake's belly bulged high, as if an iron ball had been stuffed into it.
"I'll spread a layer of cloth underneath first, and I can collect some poisonous blood. Huang Gong took out a square white cloth from the storage bag and put it under the rattlesnake.
"What kind of material is this?" Mo Ghost approached and pinched his fingers, "I don't seem to have seen it." β
"Oh, I used a plant in the mortal world, and the fruit produced was full of white silk, I treated it and asked Xiaoman to try to weave it into a cloth, but I didn't expect it to be really successful. Huang Gong saw that she was interested, and took out another piece, "But there are no other advantages, that is, the water absorption is particularly good." β
"Is there any more of this plant?" Mo Ghost took his cloth and stretched out his hand to pull it, it was still strong, not like a delicate silk thread, but it was quite delicate to the touch.
"Not now, this has to be planted in spring and harvested in autumn, and we don't have a formation for spirit stones to maintain a constant temperature, so we can only plant them in season," Huang Gong shook his head and asked tentatively, "Do you think there is anything wrong with this cloth?"
"No problem, but don't you think it's a bit of a waste to just use it to absorb water?" Mo Ghost folded it up into a finger-wide strip, "You say, how about using it to bandage the wound?"
