Chapter 13 Snow Ginseng
Looking at the footprints in front of the small cave, Luo Chen suddenly frowned.
There are a lot of horseshoe prints here, and they are very messy, and there are some footprints of other beasts, and Luo Chen is difficult to discern the direction for a while.
Just as Luo Chen was about to crouch down to carefully identify the footprints on the ground, the afterglow of his eyes swept over a small flower growing next to the small cave.
Luo Chen looked at it fixedly, and it was a trumpet-shaped small white flower growing on a green vine.
An extremely ordinary white flower, no one will notice it when they see it.
If Luo Chen hadn't read the Dan book by heart, he wouldn't have cared about it, just a little wildflower on the side of the road.
Luo Chen hurriedly walked over, carefully identified it again, and after making sure that he was not mistaken, he carefully dug up the soil on the ground along the green vine.
After a while, Luo Chen had an extra root with yellow skin and a tail full of slender whiskers on his hand.
Luo Chen scraped off a little epidermis, and looked at the flesh inside the roots, the skin was slightly yellow, and the flesh was snow-white, and it was indeed snow ginseng! And looking at this formula, it had been more than 200 years.
Luo Chen's heart instantly became excited:
"Haha! This time, it turned out to be snow ginseng, if it is combined with other auxiliary medicines, you can refine the snow ginseng Dan recorded in the Dan book.
One Snow Ginseng Pill can increase the true qi of a martial artist below the innate level by five to twenty years, and if this is known to the in-stream martial artist, it will not be crazy. ”
Luo Chen was satisfied with the snow ginseng and prepared to stand up.
But at this moment, a leopard suddenly appeared in Luo Chen's perception and pounced on Luo Chen.
Luo Chen had read books introducing the beasts of this world in the Scripture Building of Ziyun Mountain Villa, and knew that this was a clouded leopard known for its speed.
The speed of the clouded leopard was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it crossed Luo Chen's perception distance, pounced in front of Luo Chen's eyes, and bit Luo Chen's neck with its mouth open.
It happened suddenly, and the clouded leopard was both a sneak attack and extremely fast.
As soon as Luo Chen reacted, it had already bit Luo Chen's neck.
Luo Chen didn't have time to make a move, and his body, which had just gotten up halfway, hurriedly rolled to the side. After rolling a few steps, he hurriedly stood up.
And after the clouded leopard missed the blow, it immediately ran into the grass and hid.
Luo Chen's right hand was on the hilt of the knife, perceiving everything around him with his senses.
He knew that, according to the clouded leopard's habits, it would not give up its prey so easily.
It must still be hidden nearby, but it is beyond Luo Chen's perception.
"This clouded leopard should have the strength of a human forging body realm peak martial artist, otherwise the speed would not be so outrageous. ”
While Luo Chen was secretly on guard, he thought in his heart.
Beasts are also graded according to their strength. The weakest strength is the ordinary beast, the beast will increase its strength if it swallows some medicinal herbs or genius treasures, and even becomes a fierce beast.
The beasts have the strength equivalent to that of human warriors, and the strength of different types of beasts varies.
The weak ones have the strength of the early third-rate martial artists of the human race, and the strong ones are equivalent to the first-class martial artists of the human race.
As for the fierce beasts, there are also spirit beasts, which are the same as human innate martial artists, with a certain amount of spiritual intelligence, and can even absorb the essence of the sun and the moon and cultivate on their own.
A hundred miles away from Daheng Mountain is the range of activities of fierce beasts, and there are even spirit beasts in the center of Daheng Mountain.
Therefore, the hunters and ordinary warriors near Daheng Mountain generally operate in the range of a hundred miles away.
It is easy not to set foot within a hundred miles, and once you enter, it is likely that there will be no return.
Sure enough, without letting Luo Chen wait too long, the clouded leopard burst out of a bush again, jumped up when he was four or five meters away from Luo Chen, and bit Luo Chen's neck fiercely.
Luo Chen had already prepared this time.
I saw Luo Chen's snort, and when the cloud-piercing leopard pounced on the front, he instantly drew his knife, slashed at the wind, and slashed towards the cloud-piercing leopard's head.
This clouded leopard is indeed good, the moment Luo Chen's knife slashed it, its head tilted to the side, and Luo Chen's knife only cut off one of the ears of the clouded leopard.
The clouded leopard fell to the ground with a painful wail, and then quickly fled towards the depths of Dayi Mountain.
For this guy who almost let himself go, how could Luo Chen let it escape.
So, Luo Chen turned his true qi on his legs and quickly chased in the direction of the clouded leopard's escape.
The strength of the clouded leopard is not as good as Luo Chen's, but its speed is really good, and it didn't take long for it to break out of Luo Chen's perception range and disappear into the woods.
Luo Chen followed the bloodstains left by the cloud-piercing leopard, let go of his perception, walked and stopped all the way, followed for nearly an hour, and finally found the cloud-piercing leopard under a tree in the depths of Dayi Mountain.
Then, Luo Chen took advantage of the clouded leopard's unpreparedness, came to treat the leopard body with the way of a leopard, and used his true qi to sneak attack and finish it off with a knife.
Then, Luo Chen peeled off the skin of the clouded leopard.
Within a hundred miles of Daheng Mountain, the clouded leopard is also rare, and because of its speed, very few people can hunt it.
Therefore, the skin of the clouded leopard is very valuable, and it can be sold for four or five hundred taels of silver.
In this regard, Luo Chen was reluctant to discard it like the previous wolf corpse.
After disposing of the clouded leopard's corpse, it was already dark.
At this time, Luo Chen had been more than 100 miles deep into Daheng Mountain.
He originally went into the mountain to look for the strange beast, but in the end, except for the horseshoe prints along the way, he didn't even see the shadow of the strange beast, which made Luo Chen's mind about finding the strange beast also disappear a lot.
Luo Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head, others searched for a few days but didn't find it, he only looked for a day, how could it be so easy to find.
He decided not to look for it, stayed here for one night, and returned to the Purple Mist Mountain Villa as soon as it was dawn.
"I've been out all day, and I don't come home at night, so I don't know what the trouble will be at home. ”
Luo Chen felt a toothache when he thought of this. After all, his current body is still an eleven-year-old child, and he ran into Dahengshan without saying a word, and he still spent the night here, and it was difficult to keep the family from worrying.
When Luo Chen thought of Wang Yuying looking at him with an angry face, his scalp tingled.
"It's sloppy! I didn't chase this clouded leopard if I knew it, and I went back early while it was still dawn. ”
Luo Chen sat on a stone, took a bite of the roast leopard meat in his hand, and muttered in a low voice.
Although Luo Chen can also rush to the night with his perception, he has now gone deep into Daheng Mountain for more than 100 miles, and he has been busy for another day, if he walks more than 100 miles to rush back, Luo Chen is a little worried when he thinks about it.
And walking in the Daheng Mountains at night, there are many unknown risks.
After Luo Chen finished eating the barbecue, he found a big tree and planned to spend the night on the tree. After all, at night, it's much safer in the trees than on the ground.
Although there is also a risk of wind and rain in the trees, if you don't find a cave, you have to settle for the next best thing.
