115 In the cold pool, enemies meet
Day, dawn.
Ye Qin pushed away the boulder, left the cave where he was hiding, and carefully searched for spiritual herbs in the Lingwu Grand Canyon with a wide field of vision. Occasionally, he could touch the small spirit grass that had grown in a year or two, although it was not very valuable, Ye Qin still accepted them.
For the next three to five days. Every time he searched, he held the sword in his hand in one hand and five or six wood thorn seeds in the other, ready for a sudden battle at any time, or to flee for his life immediately when the situation was not good.
In the past few days, Ye Qin has encountered a lot of sinister situations. Because it was difficult to find spiritual herbs in the open space, he once ventured into the towering ancient wood dense forest in the Grand Canyon to search, and found an unknown turquoise spirit grass growing on the rotten leaves under a dead tree, surrounded by a rich cyan aura. But before he could get close to pick it, a demon snake with a bucket thick and twisted markings of at least two or three orders suddenly jumped out, and the green gong stared at him fiercely with big eyes.
Ye Qin was so frightened that his soul was so frightened that he hurriedly used the Earth Escape Technique, the Wood Escape Technique, and the Wind Resistance Technique, flying and jumping, flying dozens of feet in the blink of an eye, and escaping outside the dense forest. The demon snake had a strong body, lined up the forest and fallen trees, and chased for several miles, until Ye Qin escaped from the dense forest, and it swam back unwillingly.
After this fright, Ye Qin no longer dared to go to such a dangerous place as the dense forest.
In the past few days, he has encountered all kinds of demon beasts several times, and he has gradually figured out some situations. Found in the Spirit Mist Grand Canyon, if you can find a place where rare high-grade spirit grass can be found, there will almost always be a demon beast guarding it. The lower the spirit grass, the weaker the demon beasts, or there are no demon beasts. The more advanced the spirit grass, the stronger the demon beasts are most likely to be. Otherwise, it would have been picked by other monks a long time ago, and it would not be his turn to pick it.
This situation made Ye Qin's original thought that he could find rare spirit herbs by relying on luck alone, and suddenly cooled down. He now has only two options. Either hunt demon beasts and snatch spirit grass by yourself. Either wait for the other monk team to kill the demon beast, and then he will take the spirit grass.
Both of these choices are ridiculously difficult for him. He was only at the fifth level of the Qi Refining Period, and he didn't have any particularly strong spirit weapons in his hands, so what ability could he hunt those demon beasts above the second order alone? And snatching the spirit grass from other monk teams was almost no different from looking for death.
This made his heart bitter.
Without a team, it is almost impossible to move an inch in this Spirit Mist Grand Canyon. It's no wonder that the monks of Xianyuan City, when they come to the Spirit Mist Grand Canyon, almost all of them must form a team to come. It's too hard to mix up without support alone.
Encounter monsters. This is simply a sinister situation.
There is one more dangerous. However, it was a "bait trap" set up by some monks maliciously. They used the corpses of dead monks. Throw it on the ground. There are some materials and spirit stones scattered next to it that are not too valuable. Or it's a low-grade spiritual weapon. Set up a trap and ambush.
If anyone is curious. Or maybe you want to pick up a bargain. Recklessly passed. Enter the ambush circle. Death is almost certain. There were several monks lying in ambush around it. Sudden outburst. Launch a raid. Murder and robbery.
This trick works best for newcomers. It is of little use to the elderly who are very vigilant and experienced.
He's on the way to the Grand Canyon. At least I have seen more than a dozen such bait traps. And I watched several squads of low-level rookie monks being ambushed. There is not a single dead place left.
The reason why Ye Qin didn't fall into the trap. It's not that he's not interested in these spirit stones and spiritual weapons. It's that he's too careful. After seeing the corpse of a monk. The first reaction was if there were any other monks around, because the monks of the Canyonlands usually act in groups. It's rare to be alone. If there are teammates there. He didn't dare go.
Ye Qin was within two or three miles of the monk's body, checking for any traces of other monks. Before he could find anything, a team of rookie monks appeared, and they ran to pick up the dead monk's belongings. As a result, several high-level monks who were drilled out of the soil were wiped out.
Ye Qin was lucky enough to avoid the ambush. This incident made him stand upside down, and his nerves were highly tense, and he no longer dared to give birth to the idea that the dead could be picked up cheaply.
Of course, there are times when he actually picks up a bargain occasionally. In order to compete for the demon beasts, the two evenly matched monk teams fought frantically, and after a bloody battle, more than half of the two sides were lost, and their mana was almost exhausted. Ye Qin peeked at the side for a long time, aimed at the opportunity, and decisively snatched an item from a dead person, and then fled with his legs, leaving the two monk teams only staring dryly.
This kind of luck is very, very rare.
Ye Qin was walking along a small stream in the valley, when his ears suddenly shrugged, and he vaguely heard the noisy noise of many monks in front of him. I couldn't help but move in my heart, in this Spiritual Mist Grand Canyon, there were many monks gathered together, but it was a very rare thing.
He thought about it for a moment, decided to go over and take a look, and immediately flew along the stream. After a while, after a bend in a stream in front of me, there is a turbulent waterfall, and below the waterfall is a deep-water cold pool hundreds of zhang wide, bubbling with cold air, and the depth is bottomless.
Around Hantan, there is a sandy tidal flat.
A large group of monks were standing near the tidal flats, looking excited and noisy.
Ye Qin was taken aback when he saw this, there were actually two or three hundred monks gathered here, as many as forty or fifty squads, there were scattered cultivators from Xianyuan City, as well as family monks from all over the world, there were many newcomers and old people, and they were very mixed.
So many monks gathered by the cold pool,
They didn't fight, but instead used their own thaumaturgy, trying to find something out of the waterfall. There was a monk who shouted to go into the water, but after touching the water, he found that the pool water was frozen and made people shiver, and he didn't dare to go down, which caused a burst of laughter and ridicule from the monks next to him.
Ye Qin was puzzled, this kind of cold pool can be found in many places in the Grand Canyon, which is not unusual. These people should be looking for something inside Hantan. With his hands behind his back, he disguised himself as a small group of monks and blended in with the crowd of monks. All the monks were concerned about the cold pool, but no one paid attention to him.
Ye Qin wandered around the crowd of cultivators, and found that there was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old Huayi Han young man who was at the third level of the Qi refining period, and it seemed that he should be a young disciple from a certain immortal cultivation family** who came to exercise, and he might be able to speak from this young man.
He deliberately walked to the side of the young man, squatted aside, stared at the waterhole, and said to himself with a strange face: "Strange, what treasures are in this water, why are so many people gathered here?"
The young man turned his head at him, pointed to the cold pool, and said excitedly: "You don't know what happened? Blackhorn Demon Crocodile, you know what it is! Look at you like you don't know, I know. This kind of demon beast is a different species of demon crocodile, and it is only found in the valley in the Spirit Mist Grand Canyon. ”
When Ye Qin heard that it was a demon beast, his curiosity suddenly decreased by half, and he said disapprovingly: "Even if there is a demon beast, it won't attract so many people?"
Why didn't the young man believe it when he was in a hurry? The strange horn on the head of the black-horned demon crocodile, that is one of the several tasks released by the Ancient Artifact Gate this year, as long as you get that horn, you can directly enter the Ancient Artifact Gate with it. But hunting it down is no easy task. After the demon crocodile matures, most of them are third-order demon beasts, and the black-horned demon crocodile is at least a fourth-order, maybe even higher, and it is very cunning. ”
Fourth-order demon beasts?
Ye Qin was secretly shocked. That's at least the strength of the foundation building monks. Now, any Qi Refining Stage cultivator team in the Grand Canyon can't do it. It would only be possible unless dozens of high-level Qi Refining Stage cultivators joined forces.
As long as you slaughter this black-horned demon crocodile and obtain the black horn, you can enter the ancient artifact gate, this temptation is too great. The Ancient Artifact Gate is the Seven Great Immortal Cultivation Sects of the Lingwu Mountain Range, and the Immortal Cultivation Gate Sect with the first strength. This is equivalent to getting a place directly.
Even he couldn't help but be moved.
But looking at the ambition that appeared in the eyes of the surrounding monks, Ye Qin secretly smiled bitterly, at least half of the two or three hundred monks here were above the fourth or fifth level of the Qi Refining Period, and even as many as three or five of the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Period, it was almost impossible for him to take advantage.
Although the treasure is good, but he doesn't have his share, it is better to settle down and find the spirit grass when he has this time.
Ye Qin turned around, planning to leave Hantan, a place that is prone to right and wrong, and go to other places to find spirit grass.
He froze suddenly, his face pale.
Not far away, three people were coming, a blue-skinned man with a knife on his back, a bewitching plump woman, the two of them had a gloomy face, quarreled a few words, and seemed to be annoyed by something. There was also a white-bearded old man between them, the old man had a bitter face, wrinkled his brows, and was stuck by the two of them, looking unlucky, but helpless, and walked in front dejectedly.
"The green skin monster, the femme fatale, Bi Laoguo. ”
Three names popped up in Ye Qin's heart, and he shuddered. He slaughtered the old poisonous worm, one of the three poisons in Xiling. If you want to say that there is anyone in this Grand Canyon who is his mortal enemy, and he will kill him when he meets, it must be the green skin monster and the femme fatale.
He froze for a moment, turned around with no expression, looked as if nothing had happened, put his hands behind his back, and walked in the other direction, into the crowd of monks. Before a few of them noticed themselves, they hurried away.
Bi Laoguo cried and walked in front with a sad face.
"I really don't know who that kid is. He is the person brought by Xu Qing, and I have only known them for a day, so I don't know where he usually lives. It's useless for you to catch me, you go to Xianyuan City to find Xu Qing, he must know where that kid usually lives!"
The femme fatale sneered: If you come with them, don't look for someone to find someone. If it weren't for the pair of sluts running fast, the old lady would have caught them together. The surname Xu is from the patrol of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, you want us to go to Xianyuan City to die! If you don't explain the bottom of that kid, don't think that the old lady will let you go. ”
The green-skinned monster seemed to be thinking about something, and his face was gloomy, and he didn't say a word. The "Worm Sutra" on the old poisonous insect is the family treasure of the three poisons in Xiling, and if he doesn't get it back, he will have trouble sleeping.
Bi Laoguo had nothing to say, and looked around at the monks in a daze. Although there were many monks gathered here, none of them were his lifelong friends, so naturally no one would come to his rescue.
Bi Laoguo was grieving, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw a familiar shadow in the crowd, unexpectedly overjoyed, and shouted: "That kid surnamed Ye is in front of the crowd, don't let him escape! What you want is on him." ”
The green-skinned monster raised his head violently, his eyes flashed, and he shouted, "Where?" He looked around, and soon found a green-shirted figure in the crowd of monks who was speeding away, and suddenly lifted Bi Laoguo and chased after the figure.
The femme fatale was also pleasantly surprised, and chased after him.
