Chapter 23 23
After separating from the snake demon, it was the norm to search for the elixir again during the day in vain.
On the way back to the deer cave tired, an old stork appeared in the mountain stream in front of Lu Bao and was fishing there.
This location has entered the range of activities of the little demon of Bending, and it is extremely difficult to see ordinary beasts and birds on weekdays, but the old stork is of normal size, Lu Bao is a little suspicious, and he is not sure whether the other party is an ordinary bird or a demon.
When he returned, he had already turned into a human head, but he had to turn back into a deer's head, and looked at it curiously from the shore for a while.
There was an extra sika deer on the shore, which was not threatening, and the old stork ignored it, motionless like a statue standing in the water, its eyes fixed on the water.
Lu Bao couldn't get it for sure, he felt that it was boring to look at it any longer, so he was about to turn around and leave quietly, but the old stork poked his head like lightning, pecked a small silver fish one finger wide on his beak, and only glanced at Lu Bao in the fish's tail kept flicking.
The old stork shook its head and threw the small fish to the shore.
Lu Bao found that there was a fish basket in the water under the rocks on the shore, and the silver needlefish caught was accurately thrown into the fish basket.
This can be determined that the other party is a monster and not an ordinary bird, Lu Bao hurriedly turned into a human head and greeted: "Brother Stork, please, I am a deer demon Baibao, a little demon under the command of the second or third money master." ”
The old stork nodded, the beak of the bird opened and closed, and he also spoke: "I recognize, the new deer demon at the beginning of this year!"
Lu Bao also wanted to talk to him for a few words, but the stork demon impatiently expelled it: "The Demon Yuan Festival is coming, I was ordered to catch silver needlefish, since I have seen the ceremony, you leave quickly, don't frighten the fish, I can't pay the errand to eat and hang!"
"Let's go! Let's go! I asked the old deer, I heard that there is a high-grade elixir in this mountain stream, since Brother Stork can catch silver needlefish, he may catch a fine mantle?"
As he spoke, he had walked to the water's edge, picked up the fish basket and saw that there were only four or five small whitebait fish in it, this kind of delicious mountain food that had been praised in five steps was only the thickness of the little finger, the length of the inch, the whole body was transparent as if there were no bones, only there was a silver line on the belly, which should be named for this, it should be extremely difficult to see clearly in the water, and the whole body was scaleless, and the net could not be caught.
Lu Bao opened his eyes, but the stork demon was even more dissatisfied, and complained: "Hurry up!
Lu Bao had no choice but to throw down the fish basket, take a few steps back, and ask unwillingly as he retreated: "You really can't catch the fine mantle?"
"The silver needle is an unintelligent fish, the fine cockroach has wisdom and will avoid danger, and the eyesight is very good, I only stand here, and the thin cockroach near the left will not come, and I can't catch it!"
"Does Brother Stork know when the fine cockroach will be able to go ashore?"
"What nonsense? I've never seen a claw come ashore! Hurry up! Hurry up!"
Lu Bao had to turn around and leave, thinking on the way: "Isn't there still a few days left for the Demon Yuan Festival, and the other little demons are already preparing?"
Return to the deer cave, lie down on the haystack, and close your eyes and fall into contemplation while soothing the fatigue of more than thirty hours from yesterday's day to now.
That little mountain spirit is definitely weird, looking at his behavior last night, his sense of smell is not as good as his own deer demon, but although it was hard at night, he got two elixirs.
Although the elixir of Xiaoshan Jing's compensation is not fully ripe, and the medicinal power is very small, but the sum of the two plants is better than one ripe one, if it is not for the debt that he still owes to the demon master, Lu Bao's demonic energy has risen a little now.
The demonic qi is rich, but the lost essence and blood qi needs time to recover slowly, and the feeling of weakness will not disappear immediately.
From a beast to a demon, he only used three elixirs, and only the yam was mature, if it wasn't for the great injury of the deer antler velvet, the loss of essence and blood qi was too great, and the medicinal power he obtained this day and night was already worth before the demon.
If the elixir is really so easy to find, what are you and the other little demons doing every day?
Xiaoshan Jing is looking for elixir, definitely not by smell!
Speaking of which, most of the stork demons and flying demons such as eagles, cranes, and bats in the mountains encountered today are not sensitive to smell, and although the number of birds and demons is far less than that of beasts, since they can become demons, it can be seen that there are many other ways to find medicine besides the sense of smell.
The little mountain spirit is different from other monsters, last night he took himself to find medicine, although there were several mistakes in the middle, some have been taken away by other creatures, and some plants have not been mutated, but all signs show that he has a clear goal in searching for medicine, and he is targeted, which is much more effective than other little demons running around the mountains like luck.
In addition to the little mountain spirit, there are two strange creatures in Jingping Mountain, and I don't know if there is such a ability, so I have to investigate carefully.
The little mountain spirit is special, and if you want to think about it, there are only two possibilities.
One is that the little guy has secret magic powers such as hope qi, and knows which place there is a high probability of elixirs, and the other is that these elixirs are really planted by the little guy himself.
A kind of elixir?
"You're the new deer demon, I know you, and you stole my yellow essence!"
This is the first time I saw the house that day, what the little mountain spirit said to the deer demon, if the yellow essence he ate was planted by him, then it can really be regarded as stealing.
Maybe the little one wasn't wrong?
Is it hope or planting?
Of course, no matter what the reason, it is necessary for this mountain monster to befriend! You can manage the relationship step by step and strive to get more benefits.
Xiao Shanjing's words, it is necessary to pay attention to them in the future, such as what he said, the fine mantle goes ashore to suck the deer antler medicine!
When I arrived at the scene, I did see two green worms lying on the sand, were they still sucking the residual medicinal gas?
Why does the stork say that he has never seen it?
Are these elixirs interested in all elixirs, or are they because their own deer antler velvets are special? If any elixir would be tasted and smoked ashore, it should have been discovered by the monsters a long time ago, and it would not be so difficult to catch!
Isn't it what I used to say in my previous life? Because these thin cocktails need long horns, they are particularly fond of the antler velvet of my old deer?
If all the assumptions are true, then why not die again, and nourish the deer antler velvet as bait to catch the fine mantle?
If there are enough horned mantles to be captured, then you ......
The snake demon has been introduced in five steps, and the fine cockroach is a yellow-level middle-grade elixir, as long as it succeeds once, it is a real book of ten thousand profits!
According to the rules of this mountain, the elixir must be handed over, but I don't believe that there is such a big mountain field and so many monsters, and there is no one who violates the mountain rules and has entered the elixir!
Whether it is a small mountain spirit or a fine mantle, you have to plan one or two, and seek to advance to the demon ding as soon as possible, if you come step by step, your luck will be good and you will have to have another three or five years to turn into arms, and then there will be a human body in ten years, and there will be human legs in another twenty years, so that all the way to the demon ding, it will take at least thirty years!
Throwing deer antler velvet this time is lucky, the squirrel demon has helped a lot, because of the blessing in disguise, the price of this body elixir is too great, the two deer antler velvets cost the new demon sixty percent of the demon power, back to the beast body, playing once is enough to cripple their own play.
The only good thing is that it will benefit the Regeneration Avatar.
It was difficult to choose where to go, and the deer demon spent the night with divergent thoughts.
After two days as usual, there are only two days left before the first demon yuan festival in early June, and the little demons of the second and third Qian Ding are all ordered to rest during the day, nourish their spirits, and go to the area with many wild tea trees at night to carefully search for the Yunyan tea buds that have mutated into silver-white.
Night treasure hunting, the mutated tea buds have no medicinal fragrance before making tea soup, leopard demons, jackal demons, badger demons, rat demons, and their strong night vision ability will take the lead. Lu Bao's night vision ability is not up or down, only slightly better than the bat demon, but other little demons can play torches, he doesn't have hands yet, so he can only ask for help from five steps, and bundle a torch on his back to illuminate.
The sparks and charcoal that were peeled off after the torch burned fell from time to time, burning the deer demon and grinning.
The tea buds are very small, compared with ordinary tea tree buds, the only difference is only the color, this is night tea picking, a branch and leaf slowly search to see the past, the yellow-level elixir is really not so easy to get, staring at the eyes sour, but overnight, there are only three buds in the hands of two or three coins, the rat demon, the jackal demon, the bull demon and the dog treasure each got a bud, and the rest, including Lu Bao, returned empty-handed.
Fortunately, there were more than two or three Qian Ding who were sent out to look for tea, otherwise Lu Bao would have doubted whether the demon king could finally get together a bowl of tea.
The second night continued to search, Lu Bao finally found a little white on the tip of the green tea tree, and after biting off the branches with great difficulty, and sending it to the squirrel demon, he remembered to get a bud as a reward for a spiritual object formed by the body of a little demon.
Then he said to the two or three money: "Master, if I get another bud before dawn, I will ask for the elixir, if I can't get it, this bud will be on the head of Brother Goubao, let him get the reward!"
Sure enough, in the middle of the night, the bull demon dog treasure and the deer demon Baibao found nothing, two or three dollars counted the tea buds found by Lu Bao on the head of the dog treasure, and asked him to go to the mountain treasury to receive the reward elixir.
Gou Bao thanked the deer demon, and Lu Bao returned: "I lost Brother Niu for my hard work that day, and my old deer has a place to live, and today I have the right to thank you!"
The old plague interjected dissatisfiedly: "My old pig has also contributed!"
Wubu was still smiling and looking at him, and Lu Bao hurriedly said: "Don't dare to forget the two elder brothers, you will definitely repay it!"
On the other day, the crane demons and stork demons suitable for fishing were busy catching silver needlefish; in addition to seizing time to collect vegetables, fruits, mushrooms, and bamboo sunflowers, another grain collection team also had to transport the home-brewed fruit wine hoarded in the depths of the dense forest back to the mountain; most of the bear demons were ordered to collect honey; the banshees picked flowers to decorate the inside and outside of the cave; the treasury used to pickle and save the spirit meat, musk, deer antlers, tiger whips, Ingredients such as bear's paws and tonics were taken out and sent to the room, and the pottery bowls and wooden bowls that were reluctant to be used on weekdays were also cleaned; the room was busy looking for more condiments; for example, those who had nothing else to do like Lu Bao's demon Ding were all sent out to share the tea picking and logging affairs, and there was no one below the demon ding in Jingping Mountain who was idle.
