Chapter 24: The Ten Thousand Mountains (2)
Now it is a cold winter, many demon beasts are dormant, the materials for refining alchemy of the predecessors in the door are in short supply, and almost all the demon beasts that can be called are issued as tasks, and the biggest difficulty is that they can't find it.
The few people didn't stay long, searching for dormant demon beasts along the fairy mountain.
Xu is bad luck was used in the first attack, and Mo Ghost was lucky next, found a place where the scissor-tailed scorpion lived, and harvested more than 20 of them.
This kind of scorpion is full of treasures, the shell is hard and can be used for refining weapons, the poison sac at the scorpion tail can be added to the hidden weapon, and even its scorpion meat is a good auxiliary material for the antidote pill. Being able to take advantage of its dormancy to pound the cave is really a fortune.
The route drawn by Mo Ghost is to search the mountains along the side of the Wanren Mountain Range in turn, and complete whatever tasks there are. After walking through more than a dozen mountain peaks, stepping on dozens of demon beast caves, and living a savage life for more than a month, the task in hand finally came to the bottom.
Not all the tasks in the deacon hall have to be received when you leave, you can write down what you have, and you can go back and hand it in directly, after all, if you receive the task, you will have to deduct points if you can't complete it. A few people don't have points in the first place, and if they become negative because they can't complete tasks such as collecting rare elixirs, they won't have a place to cry.
The main peak in the middle of the Wanren Mountains is Wenwee Peak, which is named after a waterfall that flows straight down, and you can always faintly hear the sound of sobbing in summer.
At this time, in a cave on the top of Wenwai Peak, Mo Ghost and several people were drinking soup around the bonfire.
In this winter, you still have to drink hot soup, and it will be warm in one bite.
"I miss the snake soup on the first day, but now it's all vegetarian, and the taste is much worse. "Shen Kongming, smash it, smash it.
"If it weren't for Zhen Hao who brought enough mushrooms when he left, he wouldn't even have this, be content. "I can see that I don't have anger, and this vegetarian soup is delicious enough.
"It's snowing. But it was Lin Shuyao who said at the entrance of the cave.
Mo Ghost listened and walked over, leaned next to her, and quietly looked outside. It will also snow in the Eastern Regions, but not much, the last time I saw it was the year I left, and my mother, during the New Year, it was more than three years in a blink of an eye. Speaking of which, I have been crawling in the mountains for a month, and I haven't sent a note to my home.
It's a cold day, and it always brings back some memories from the past.
"It's the end of December now, and I'm about to enter the year 954, and there's still a year to go, and time flies so fast. Qin Yifan's tone was faintly sad, "I don't know how well I can fight." ”
"Just do your best, Yifan, you are no worse than others, and your talent is also very good," Zhen Hao filled in a little branch, even if he didn't need to heat it, he didn't want it to go out, "Anyway, it's much better than me." ”
"Why do you hear your tone is so low," Shen Kongming glanced left and right, "The top three teams in the individual competition can go, isn't there Lin Shujiao Huo Zijun, it's stable!"
"When the snow stops, let's see if we can see the ice buds. "It's useless to think about anything, Mo Ghost quickly turned back to reality, "If we can pick it, we will go back, go back to the sect for the New Year, and rest for a few days!"
There are five days left to reach the new year, and the monks generally do not value this, that is, a few of them are still young, and they are always thinking about it.
"But Bingya is not so easy to find, how can you have that luck. Qin Yifan also wants to go back, winter is not as good as summer, there is still scenery to see, here is now bare, very desolate, "And didn't we just rest before we came?"
Qin Yifan's latter sentence was extremely quiet, and Mo Ghost selectively ignored it.
"You have to try, if you can't find it, you can continue to scavenge for waste, maybe this luck will come?"
Ice buds are ice crystals formed by the young shoots of trees under the nourishment of snowflakes, and the aura contained in them is pure.
But not to mention that the buds of trees are difficult to survive in winter, even fewer can survive under the cover of snow and ice, and even fewer can condense into ice buds. And the most important thing is that the ice buds can only survive for a period of time after the snow, and they are picked and placed in a jade box, and they are kept with ice cubes at all times, so they have an effect, and ordinary people can't save them even if they encounter them.
Among them, Lin Shuyao, can try his luck, if he can really find it, he can get a lot of points.
The big ones who did this are worth them in this month.
As soon as the snow stopped, Mo Ghost couldn't wait to lead everyone out, and he was very enthusiastic about finding the ice buds.
"Mo ghost ghost fellow, it is not advisable to be opportunistic during cultivation, if the ice buds were so easy to find, they would not be so precious. Shen Kongming's face was very disgusted, if his eyes hadn't glanced at the forks of the branches from time to time, Mo Ghost almost believed it.
"Don't look for it yet, there are footprints here, I don't know what insects are. Huo Zijun found the footprints of small insects by the stones under the roots of a tree, which is also a benefit after snowfall.
"Looking at insects like multi-clawed insects, but this season, how can they take the initiative to come out?" Mo Ghost flashed a trace of doubt, "This kind of insect is generally a social demon beast, and it will hibernate in winter." Looking at the footprints, there is only one, why did it come out alone after the snow?"
"Whatever, let's look for it first. Zhen Hao said, searching the neighborhood.
"Can you use your brain?" Mo Ghost rolled his eyes at him.
"Then you don't know why now, don't you still have to search. Shen Kongming put his arm on Zhen Hao's shoulder.
I didn't understand it for a long time, and the last few people still scattered and looked nearby, but they were all within sight in case of accidents.
Holding a sword and pulling a piece of dry grass, Mo Ghost still thought about how this little insect was so abnormal.
Speaking of abnormalities, they have met a lot along the way, and the snake was also very strange at the beginning, who would have thought that there was a fourth-order snake in this weather, and it was fortunately injured.
Well?
Mo Ghost made a move, only to feel his hairs stand up.
Why is this snake injured, it must have encountered a demon beast stronger than it. And the centipede is the town of the snake, with the effect of restraint, if the footprint just now is the centipede's, it must be the fourth order!
"I suddenly thought of ······"
Before the words were finished, Mo Ghost only felt a strong wind coming from behind, and he only had time to dodge and dodge the past, but he was still swept by the afterwind and hit the tree next to him, dropping pieces of snowflakes.
Mo Ghost knelt under the tree, and the snow that fell from his neckline melted, and it was cold for a while.
She was not a grumpy person, but at this time, she couldn't help but say in her heart, 'I'm so bad,' if you want to be so lucky, why is she stepping on thunder every time she encounters a large item.
I didn't have time to think about anything, so I quickly jumped on the branch, and with another blow where I had just stayed, the ground covered with snow showed its original appearance, and there was even a hint of scorched black. This is the Red Flame Centipede, a fourth-order fire-attribute demon beast.
Seeing that the nearest Lin Shujiao had already come, Mo Ghost used the winding technique.
Although it only paused for two seconds, it was enough for Lin Shuyao's sword move to hit and repel the centipede.
After a short pause, several people quickly approached and formed a semicircle.
"This centipede is a fourth-order demon beast with a serious eight classics, and its strength is equivalent to the early stage of foundation building, be careful. ”
Several of them are now seventeen or eighteen years old, and most of them are at the tenth level of Qi refining and the eleventh layer of Qi refining. Only Huo Zijun, who had just broken through the twelfth layer of qi refining before coming, was considered the greatest combat power. But it was still quite difficult to deal with a fourth-order demon beast.
Qi refining and foundation building are two levels, and there is no way to compare them in terms of the reserve of aura or the strength of spells.
However, several of them are not ordinary monks, and they also have the strength to fight against the foundation building monks. In this case, the fighting spirit is full of spirit, and it is also a kind of tempering of the tacit understanding of several people.
Lin Shuyao, Zhen Hao, and Huo Zijun, the three strongest combat powers, rushed to the front, while Qin Yifan, Mo Ghost and Shen Kongming followed closely behind, casting spells.
No anger is at the end, and he rarely took out the wooden fish at the bottom of the box, and muttered some scriptures in his mouth. Mo Ghost and the others didn't feel anything when they heard it, but the centipede was in shape, and its movements slowed down significantly.
At the end, several people took on the shape of an inverted triangle, "We will fight quickly, and we won't be able to hold on for long." She had also experienced the power of the Sanskrit sound of no anger, but the consumption was too great, and it would be good if he could hold on for a quarter of an hour now.
Qin Yifan and Shen Kongming's cooperation spell took the lead, and they were going to force the position of this centipede, but they didn't want it to be a hard hit, and they spewed flames from their mouths to fight back, and the aura of the two couldn't resist at all, so they had to avoid the edge and retreat to both sides.
Taking advantage of the gap in its attack, Lin Shuyao and Huo Zijun slashed together.
This is a set of two-person sword duels, named Feihong Yinxue, a total of nine styles, the two of them have practiced since the beginning of the trial, and now they are also a little successful, stabbing it in the abdomen from two directions.
The Chiyan Centipede was worthy of being a fourth-order, and it had already begun to enlighten itself, and it sensed that the attack of the two of them was not weak, so he didn't choose to fight hard, turned his head to face Lin Shuyao's direction, opened his mouth, and bit forward fiercely, so he wanted to solve her quickly with one blow.
Lin Shuyao put the sword in front of him, stuck the centipede's mouth, and could smell the fishy smell of venom when he was close. This blow was ruthless, and Lin Shuyao's attack was not enough to resist it, and he retreated in the air.
Huo Zijun sensed the intention of the spirit beast, and turned his body forward, and attacked the centipede with the power of the branch next to him.
Seeing that the blow did not succeed, the Chiyan Centipede used its strength to knock Lin Shuyao back, turned around and sprayed a cluster of flames at Huo Zijun, and his body followed, opening his fangs. The flames of the Zhuji Demon Beast are no longer ordinary fires, and once provoked, it is extremely difficult to extinguish.
As a last resort, Huo Zijun could only temporarily avoid the edge, but it was also in line with the centipede's intention and pounced from behind him.
Mo Ghost arrived at just the right time, so he hurriedly used the winding technique, grabbed its body, gave Huo Zijun a time to breathe, spun around in place, and stopped on a nearby tree. Taking advantage of this gap, Zhen Hao waved the hammer and slammed it on the centipede's head.
The centipede also sensed that Zhen Hao's blow was not small, and struggled to break free from the vines on his body, trying to hide to the side.
Seeing this, he bit his finger and formed a magic seal, which fixed its shape.
Shen Kongming didn't give it a chance, and he didn't know when he came to its back, holding the low-grade magic weapon Qiankun Fan in his hand, and waved it with all his might.
The Red Flame Centipede didn't check for a while, and its whole body fell forward.
Zhen Hao faced it and threw a blow at his head, and he was also shocked and retreated.
This time, Zhen Hao used all his strength to make the centipede lose his mind for a short time. Mo Ghost was the closest, took out the wood spirit sword, merged the aura, and stabbed at the centipede with all his strength. Lin Shuyao and Huo Zijun also reacted quickly, seized this opportunity, and tried their best to make a move.
Mo Ghost's blow arrived first, and the centipede squandered her spiritual power to resist this blow with her instinct, and the scattered spiritual energy shook her to the ground, and her previous injuries were affected again.
Lin Shuyao and Huo Zijun carried the fluctuations of the aura, one stabbing at its head and the other at its abdomen.
I only heard a sharp "hiss" sound, and a strong fluctuation burst out from the centipede's body, and several people around all retreated, and Mo Ghost's body, which had already been hit, hit backwards again, breaking a tree at the waist, and spitting out a mouthful of blood in his mouth.
