Chapter 10 Grass Hunting

The breeze blew, the bloody gas on the field quickly dissipated, and the two corpses that were submerged in the wild grass gradually disappeared into the depths of the grass behind them.

Shen Shi walked forward with Xiao Hei, his expressionless expression was a little cold, he was not afraid of this accident, and he had no intention of turning around. In fact, Shen Shi was a little surprised that his state of mind was so calm, this was far from the first time he had seen death, and it was not even the first time that his hands were stained with blood, he thought lightly in his heart, could it be that he had been in the demon world for three years, and he had really honed himself numbly?

Do you even look down on life and death?

He thought back to the battle not long ago, and he was very calm during the whole process, even when he killed the monk who intended to kill him with his own hands, his mood did not seem to waver in the slightest, this feeling, as if...... It seems that he is still in the never-ending battles and battles in the demon world.

Shen Shi shook his head suddenly, his expression was startled, and he threw away the somewhat inexplicable thought in his mind at once.

The little black pig seemed to sense something, and looked up at him, chewing the spiritual grass in his mouth, and smacking.

Shen Shi took a breath, calmed down again, looked down at the little pig, and said, "It's just a spirit grass, haven't you finished eating it for a long time?"

The little black pig chirped twice in its mouth, as if it was answering, but no one knew what it meant.

Shen Shi shook his head and continued to walk forward.

In the Ruyi pouch around his waist, the spirit crystals at this moment became fifteen, except for the original remainder, the extra number was collected from the withered yellow monk who wanted to kill him without opening his eyes but was killed back. Shen Shi didn't have that kind of special loftiness, and he didn't have any psychological pressure to collect the spirit crystal from that monk. In addition to the spirit crystals, he also found three spirit grasses in the package on the withered yellow monk's body, but the grades were the most ordinary first-order spirit grasses, and even if he got them in Broken Moon City, he couldn't exchange many spirit crystals. It is conceivable that this withered yellow monk does not seem to have much net worth.

Maybe it's because it's too embarrassing, so it's going to be taken by force?

Shen Shi didn't know the reason for this, because he hadn't seen this person before today, and he didn't want to know anything at all, to him, that withered yellow monk was just a dead man. It's just that when he left, he occasionally thought in his heart, will there be many monks like this on the road of cultivation, and what will be his fate in the future?

He thought, no matter what, he still couldn't leave the Ling Xiao Sect.

Half an hour later, he and the little black pig arrived at Silver Moon Lake.

Yinyue Lake is a large lake covering an area of 1,000 acres, the water quality is clear, the aquatic plants are lush, along the lakeside there are large areas of reeds more than one person high, plus the layers of mahogany aquatic plants in the shallow cement, like an endless water forest, once people walk in, even if they are close at hand, they may not be able to find each other.

That is, this place, the water and gas are abundant and the environment is good, it is most suitable for the growth of some spiritual grasses, especially the spiritual grasses that love water and tide, and for many years it has been a feng shui treasure for many scattered cultivation and collection of spiritual grasses, but Yinyue Lake is not only infested by human scattered cultivation, in those reeds and aquatic grass forests, there are also many wild monsters, and from time to time over the years, there will be news of the accidental death of monks who come to collect medicine and hunt, but it has not discouraged the enthusiasm of the monks who came here to explore.

Originally, is there such a thing as a good thing in the world where there is a risk and a benefit? Even if there is, it is only enjoyed by monks from famous families, and it has nothing to do with the vast majority of casual cultivation. Therefore, those who should collect medicine will still come to collect medicine, and when they encounter demon beasts, they will resist or escape with all their might, and even some brave monks who are masters of art come here to hunt the demon beasts here, after all, those body parts of the demon beasts that contain spiritual power, including the demon pills that can be condensed by high-level demon beasts, are all very precious spiritual materials, and they can be sold at a good price in the shops in Broken Moon City and other places.

It's just that, thinking about it, these ways of working hard to collect spirit grass, including taking risks to hunt demon beasts and then going back to exchange for spirit crystals, are much worse than directly killing people and looting......

When Shen Shi stepped into the reed forest that was as tall as a person, such a strange thought suddenly flashed through his heart, thinking that it was no wonder that the withered yellow monks and these people would move these crooked thoughts and directly kill and loot, the speed at which the spirit crystal came was indeed simple, rough but much faster.

But then he shook his head, this way, he will not go. Others want to kill him, and when he defends himself, he kills him and then takes people's spirit crystals, Shen Shi does not have any psychological obstacles, but if he wants to take the initiative to rob and kill, Shen Shi does not have the slightest such thought in his heart, not to mention that the Lingxiao Sect is a famous sect with strict rules, if this kind of behavior is spread to the sect after it is done, then his fate will be doomed.

The little black pig didn't know when he had finished eating the spiritual grass in his mouth, and at this time he got into the reed forest, not far in front of Shen Shi, sniffing everywhere, looking full of energy. Shen Shi followed behind it, slowly walking forward, looking around from time to time, but gradually his brows furrowed, as if he was a little dazed.

When he came to Yinyue Lake, Shen Shi thought that he would come over casually and collect some spirit grass by the way. It was only when he really arrived at this Yinyue Lake, where water and grass were abundant, that Shen Shi found that he was ...... Actually, I don't know how to collect spirit grass.

Yes, although Shen Shi grew up on the first floor of Tianyi when he was a child, and knew a lot of ordinary or rare spirit grasses, he had never really gone to the barren mountains and mountains to collect medicine in exchange for spirit crystals like those scattered cultivators. He may be familiar with the Hongmeng Pharmacopoeia, or he may know that the appearance and pharmacological effects of many spiritual herbs are their own unique characteristics, but these things may be helpful for collecting medicines, but they still cannot completely replace the experience of collecting medicines.

He walked for a while, but on the shore of this Silver Moon Lake, which was known as rich in spirit grass, he still didn't find a single spirit grass for half a day.

Shen Shi realized the truth of this sentence again, but when he sighed secretly, the little black pig in front of him suddenly turned up, the little pig's head was raised, sniffed twice in the air, and then suddenly let out an excited snort, and suddenly burrowed into the dense reeds next to him.

Shen Shi was startled, this reed forest was too dense, it was a little difficult to find if it was really going to be scattered, so he hurriedly quickened his pace and followed, and at the same time felt that the soil on the soles of his feet seemed to be much wetter and softer than when he first entered this reed forest, and it seemed that he had unconsciously got closer to Yinyue Lake.

I saw the little black pig in front of him flying on all fours, running fast, and at the same time looking very excited, all the way in this reed bush after running out of about five or six feet, suddenly stopped at the root of the shadow of the reed bush somewhere, and then the two front hooves stretched out, began to dig the soil desperately.

Shen Shi walked over from behind, watching the two pigs' trotters flip, the black mud was cut open, and a striking white color was soon revealed on the ground.

"Huh?" Shen Shi was a little surprised, squatted down beside the little black pig, and didn't help, just watched the little black pig energetically dig through all the dirt and dig out a strange fruit the size of an orange and pure white in color.

It is actually a bit inappropriate to say that it is a fruit, it stands to reason that this kind of thing that grows in the ground should be called a tuber, but when the little black pig smiled and just wanted to open his mouth to bite down, Shen Shi snatched food from the pig's mouth, snatched it, and took it in his hand to take a closer look.

The little black pig suddenly let out a whining and aggrieved cry, rubbed beside him, turned around and looked very anxious, with its mouth half open, as if it was about to starve to death if it was not given this thing again.

Shen Shi touched the strange white tuber with his fingers, the tentacles felt moist and delicate, and there was a faint sweet aroma wafting up, which made people smell very comfortable, he thought about it carefully, and then his eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something.

"This is 'White Radish Root', what about the second-grade spirit grass, it's too wasteful for you to eat it like this. Shen Shi Zhengse said to the little black pig.

The little black pig opened his mouth wide and seemed to be stunned, as if he heard a sudden major blow like being hit by five thunderbolts, and his whole body was stiff and motionless, and after a while, the little black pig suddenly let out a wail, and suddenly lay on the ground, and the pig's head was buried in the soil, looking very painful.

Shen Shi rolled his eyes and scratched his head when he looked at it, such a second-grade spirit grass white radix root, newly dug up and in good condition, can be sold for at least five spirit crystals on the market, of course, it can't be eaten by the little black pig for nothing. But looking at the little black pig's depressed appearance, Shen Shi was also faintly embarrassed in his heart, thinking that this little guy was so able to find spirit grass, he really couldn't see it......

Wait, looking for spirit grass?

Shen Shi's body shook suddenly, as if he had thought of something, and when he looked at the frustrated little black pig at his feet, his eyes were already a little different, and the little black pig was buried in the mud and didn't notice anything.

Shen Shi looked at the little pig, his face changed a few times, as if he was thinking about something, and after a while, he reached out and gently patted the little pig's head.

The little black pig's head moved, and its two little ears also flicked, but it still couldn't bury its head and looked like it was dead.

Shen Shi coughed, thought about it, reached out to the ruyi bag and touched it, and then spread it out next to the little pig's head, a little light flashed, and a beautiful spirit crystal lay in his palm.

The little black pig's body moved, and suddenly jumped up, and the two front hooves grabbed Shen Shi's palm, humming and screaming, and he was extremely enthusiastic in an instant.

Shen Shi smiled, touched the little black pig's head, and said, "Do you like this spirit crystal?"

The little black pig nodded repeatedly.

Shen Shi said again: "Spirit crystal or those spirit grasses, which do you prefer?"

This time, the little black pig seemed to hesitate, but finally looked at the spirit crystal in his palm, revealing a salivating look.

Shen Shi shook his head secretly in his heart, thinking to himself that the spiritual power in the spirit crystal was purer than the spiritual power contained in those spirit grasses, so this little pig liked it so much? But now that the little pig likes the spirit crystal, it will be easy to do.

Shen Shi picked it up, put it on his lap, and said with a smile: "Then let's do it, in the future, you will help me find three, no, four every day...... Hmm...... his eyes rolled, and a slap stretched out, "If you find five spirit grasses every day, I'll give you a spirit crystal, okay?"

The little black pig looked down and saw that the spirit crystal in Shen Shi's palm emitted a dazzling and unusually beautiful light, reflected in its two eyes, as if it had also become a shining star, which was really attractive.

Under the light of the spirit crystal, the little black pig grinned, and then nodded desperately, as if he was afraid that Shen Shi would regret it.

Shen Shi laughed, put it down, and said with a smile: "Deal!"

The little black pig was also excited when he looked at it, as if the pig's life suddenly had a goal to strive for, and he turned around and ran forward without hesitation, sniffing left and right at the same time, and started the great cause of grass hunting for the spirit crystal.

It's just that it only ran a few steps, and suddenly its body was stunned again, and it stopped suddenly, which startled Shen Shi and said in amazement: "No, you found it again so soon...... Huh?"

Halfway through his words, he also noticed that something was not quite right, the little black pig did not show excitement this time, but shrank back slightly, showing a somewhat vigilant look, and at the same time his eyes were firmly fixed on a place in the reeds in front of him.

Shen Shi's face slowly turned cold, and he also looked at that place intently, and a moment later, a low roar sounded behind the reeds, and a cold beast's eyes penetrated through the gaps in the dense reeds, staring at them.
