Suddenly a dark cloud came and started to rain lightly, and soon a cold wind came. The clouds opened and the rain stopped, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The fireflies came out for a walk, enjoying the last happy time before the arrival of late autumn.
A figure quickly passed through the jungle, scattering the fireflies, and skillfully stopped in a corner of the wasteland, pushing aside the knee-deep weeds. His figure suddenly stopped.
"Damn it, why did the monster get there first?" He looked at the red fruit with only a short rhizome left, and there were still traces of bites from the monster, and said to himself angrily, "It seems that we can only continue
I’ve found one, but luckily there’s still a moon tonight.”
In another moment, his figure had disappeared into the dense forest again, and his deerskin short boots flew on the thick trees without leaving any footprints on the ground.
…………
"Senior Brother Zhou, the clue is broken." After a while, a sturdy figure emerged from the slightly damp trees. It was the spear-based foundation builder who had fought with Pu Tiexin before. "My Red Ghost Wolf Dog has been
Can't smell his breath."
"Is it because of the rain?" Two foundation builders and five qi practitioners came behind them one after another. However, the breath of several qi practitioners was quite unstable and they were panting again and again. The continuous tracking just now had almost exhausted their spiritual energy.
.
"No, he used a special medicinal powder." He knelt down and comforted the irritable red ghost wolf dog with one hand. He listened to its irregular breathing sound and seemed to understand animal language. "The wolf dog is very irritable, and this medicinal powder has some effects on it."
A certain amount of harm.”
"Forget it," the red-faced foundation-building monk, known as Senior Brother Zhou, turned to look at the exhausted Qi-training disciples behind him, "After a long circle, he came back here again, and he didn't know why.
.Forget it, let’s take a short break and do our own thing. The scale of ring-tailed black ant mating has reached its maximum today, so it’s time to prepare everything in advance.”
"yes!"
…………
"How's it going? Is your digestion almost done?" Jiang Feng gently stroked Jiang Chengzi's head, as if coaxing a child. In fact, he was indeed a child, and he was accompanied by his strange uncle Pu Tiexin who kept staring at Jiang Chengzi strangely.
Releasing Jiang Chengzi really surprised him. Is there such an operation?
The problem is, this Jiang Chengzi can turn into a bird, eat the remaining branches and leaves of the red fruit, and then change back. This demon boy is actually the first generation of transformed demon beast? Rare, rare. Not just this matter,
He was also baffled by Jiang Feng's decision to travel dozens of miles overnight before setting up camp. The wasteland where the red fruits were found was a good one. He had already chosen two waist-thick trees with thick branches, perfect for shelter, but he had to give up.
.
Jiang Feng has his own ideas.
The century-old vermilion fruit is one of the necessary materials for refining a variety of elixirs for improving cultivation. Although Han Li temporarily escaped, he might come back in a circle. If he kept the plant of the vermilion fruit, or started to collect all the unfinished plants.
The ripe red fruit can only mean that the red fruit has fallen into the hands of the monks. Among them, the biggest suspects are himself and Pu Tiexin. And letting Jiang Chengzi transform into his original form and eat the whole red fruit can cut off his own suspicion.
, it can also allow Jiang Chengzi to improve his cultivation, why not?
If you stay near the wasteland, wouldn't it be like melons and plums under the fields? You can't explain it clearly?
Of course, the melons were indeed picked.
The moment Han Li lied to the two of them, Jiang Feng eliminated the possibility from his heart that this demon cultivator could continue to have a close friendship. This was different from Park Tiexin, who could use thirty second-level purple fire copper crystals to make the other party
He is willing to help hunt for at least one hundred second-level Thunder Lizard eggs, which is not only a transaction, but also a matter of justice.
A righteous person is worthy of deep friendship. This is why he directly gave the other party half of the wealth, even though he had many opportunities to swallow up the wealth alone.
Han Li's abilities are quite good. He can ripen medicinal herbs and collect all things for his own use. This kind of talent is very important to himself at the Xuan level and even to the sect behind him. It is even worth bending over to welcome him. Han Li was
The fraud after the rescue may have been just for self-protection, but it has completely covered up his advantages. This determines that in this life, he can only make transactions with him, but not as a friend or as a subordinate. Although this is difficult, it is also possible.
It's not impossible.
What is the path that he should adhere to? Or in other words, the principles that he should adhere to for the development of the sect? Jiang Feng is still confused for the time being, and it is difficult to tell the rules, but whether inside or outside the box, Jiang Feng's heart is still clear.
At least there should be some shining points. Maybe he was a little picky, Jiang Feng laughed at himself.
At the third level of spiritual level, Jiang Chengzi's state finally stabilized as he absorbed the medicinal power of Zhu Guo.
"What? I have only improved so much. I thought I could catch up with the master?" Jiang Chengzi curled his lips in dissatisfaction.
"..." Not only Jiang Feng was speechless, but also Pu Tiexin.
Jiang Feng stopped Pu Tiexin's plan to give his share of the ripe red fruit to Jiang Chengzi. Children can't get used to it. You know how there are so many free lunches in the world. If you keep asking for them, you will suffer a big loss sooner or later.
For this reason, a herbivorous buffalo had to be carefully roasted to celebrate. The little guy's belly was bulging, and then he returned to Jiang Feng's arm with satisfaction. The "stinky black snake" moved and crouched in dissatisfaction.
The body got up and stared at the slightly enlarged light spot for a long time. In the end, it was too lazy to care about it and returned to calmness. Not long ago, it had fully woken up and started running at full speed again, absorbing Jiang Feng's aura. The originally loose cultivation level was once again
Firmly stabilized at the critical point of the third level of Xuan level.
At noon the next day, Jiang Feng and the two carefully bypassed the territory of the red-billed water gull and arrived at the edge of the Thunder Lizard's nest, their destination.
Thunder lizards lay eggs every five to ten years, ranging from one to two eggs. As a non-social monster, before the eggs are hatched, the male and female thunder lizards will guard the nest together until the new life hatches. Therefore, the two face each other.
Yes, there may be at most two monster beasts close to the second level.
Jiang Feng originally wanted to use food to lure the bristle skunk, which was worthless in terms of intelligence. Monsters have a strong sense of territory. As long as the bristle skunk enters the territory of the thunder lizard, the two monsters will fight and profit from it.
You will easily get the eggs of the Thunder Lizard. However, the fact is that a lot of dried meat is wasted, and the Bristle Skunk just won't leave its territory.
The information this time was really accurate. Jiang Feng sighed in his heart. The bristle skunk was indeed useless and had no value in being used as an assist.
"Except for this cave," Park Tiexin pointed to the dark cave entrance not far away, "there are no other major risks nearby."
Pu Tiexin's words are trustworthy. He came all the way. With the help of his wild survival experience, the two of them have successfully avoided three waves of monsters and two waves of monks. One of them was human monks. In this disorderly jungle, killing and stealing is common.
Things.
Several large ring-tailed black ants crawled out of the bottomless hole. Different from the black ants with wings, these individuals were larger and had huge black pincers. They could not fly into the sky.
Instead, it patrolled at the entrance of the cave and gradually expanded to every corner nearby.
These are the soldier ants, the guardians of the nest. The mating ceremony of the ring-tailed black ants seems to have come to an end. It won't be long before the ant-beast war mentioned by Lin Qiaodie will begin.
It is said that almost half of Stormrage Canyon is home to ring-tailed black ants. They are a key part of the canyon's ecology. They collect and utilize various plant resources produced in the jungle, dismantle and eat monsters that died of various reasons.
Beast carcasses are also used as low-level food for carnivorous monsters to prey on. After the mating ceremony, the ant-beast war will attract many low-level monks to come to collect treasures, explore, and consume. Therefore, they have become an indispensable source of income for the Seven Alliances.
Occasionally in the cold winter, when food is scarce, Qimeng will even put cheap food at the entrance of these holes to prevent the ant colonies from dying due to lack of food.
"It's a pity that they are not giant dragons." Pu Tie believed in the joking introduction on the canyon's red booklet. "This sentence is interesting, otherwise they would be more valuable."
"This is also a warning to adventurers not to go deep into the cave," Jiang Feng analyzed while looking at the cave entrance where six or seven people could enter at the same time. "Black ants are not like dragons and do not like to collect treasures. In their eyes, everything is food and will be destroyed."
Use the splashed venom to digest them into a source of spiritual power, and use it to cultivate a special black umbrella mushroom. This mushroom is highly poisonous and of no use to monks, but it is said that it can be used to fight poison with poison and eliminate some side poisons.
.”
"I really want to go in and have a look." Pu Tiexin was a little moved when he heard the function of the black umbrella mushroom, "Take care of the thunder lizard first, let's go."
The thunder lizard's lair is located in a natural cave. Compared to the huge body of the mature thunder lizard, the entrance that a dozen people can pass through at the same time is not very wide. It is far away from the cave entrance, and the choking fishy smell hits your nostrils.
The Thunder Lizard is an omnivorous monster, but it does not eat the most common ring-tailed black ants here. Therefore, the two can become "good neighbors."
The two of them took the Five True Poison Elixir Pills to eliminate the influence of the stench and miasma in the cave, and sneaked into the cave quietly. A gloomy and cold feeling soon enveloped the two of them, until a violent gasping sound came from inside.
The Thunder Lizard discovered the two of them. This is their home ground.
Jiang Feng skillfully crushed five first-order spirit stones and mixed them with special powder, just like other members of "Wuyi", but he made some improvements and added some sticky gum, so that the glowing powder would
It can stick to the dark stone wall for a longer period of time. In the empty cave, it immediately feels like a moonlit night. Although it is not as bright as outside, you can clearly distinguish every move of the monster.
The one who ran out to try to drive away the intruders was the male Thunder Lizard. It had huge ocher-colored sharp horns that the female did not have. It was also the only valuable part of the Thunder Lizard and could be used as a medicine guide to assist in the use of an elixir for treating blood poisoning.
, and it is a substitute, and is not as effective as wild rhinoceros horns. Because of this, the Thunder Lizard is not a popular person in this valley, and because of its ugly appearance, its spiny skin and thick hind legs are not lovable, and its temperament is irritable and untamable.
, few people would keep it as a "pet".
Pu Tiexin took a step and rushed forward, holding the nine-ringed sword in front of him. In his own words, it is better to expect Jiang Feng's combat power than to expect his own explosion. Although the words are crude, he is better than being honest.
Since he was charging ahead, Jiang Feng was happy to be an assist and immediately gave him a second-level water shield talisman, then threw out a second-level golden light talisman and went straight to the belly of the male beast. The light-colored soft skin there was
This is its weakness.
Ouch!
The male beast was in pain. Compared with the damage caused by the flames triggered by the nine-ring sword, the pain in his abdomen made him squat suddenly, and his thick and spiny tail swept straight towards Jiang Feng. Jiang Feng jumped back quickly, using the reverse direction of the stone wall.
After the impact, he adjusted his direction and avoided its sweep, but a thick beam of lightning followed one after another.
Crack!
Jiang Feng froze, and was successfully "touched" by the tail end of lightning. At this moment, although the "White Jade Flying Needle" can immediately stop this paralysis effect, it must also be used to prevent the black snake spirit when taking the Thunder Lizard Egg later.
He was in an out-of-control state, so he could only use a first-level awakening talisman for himself, triggering the "Aura of Light" [Mirror Shisui], and survived.
"Go get the eggs!"
Pu Tiexin took advantage of the male beast's mouth to fire lightning and threw a cold iron dart. The dart went straight into the Thunder Lizard's mouth and hit its tongue. It was instantly bloody and bloody. Originally angered by Jiang Feng, it turned its tail and headed straight for almost
Park Cheol-shin shrouded in flames.
Jiang Feng no longer hesitated, and went straight into the beast's den. He spotted the blurry figure in the darkness, closed his eyes and threw a secret flash bomb. This was a "blinding" weapon temporarily made by the monkey Jin Dong in the tailings of Tianmu Mountain.
It's just that Monkey won't sell this special recipe in large quantities, and there is only one left at the moment.
Ouch!
Another deafening roar and a sudden burst of light in the darkness angered the female Thunder Lizard who was incubating her eggs. She twisted her awkwardly bent neck and fired a bolt of lightning in the air, but it did not hit Jiang Feng.
Golden light talisman!
There was another second-level talisman, followed by the Fire Talisman. Jiang Feng threw out three of them in a row like beans! This was not a time to be stingy. Taking advantage of the short gap when the female beast could not see him clearly, Jiang Feng successfully angered her.
It. It finally stood up from the nest and charged towards the direction where the talisman was thrown!
Crack! Crack!
The two water shields on Jiang Feng's body broke one after another, but taking advantage of the gap in the water shield's resistance, he had already moved his body and avoided the impact of the female beast.
"Master, we succeeded!" A burst of cheers came from Jiang Chengzi, who had quietly released Jiang Chengzi after he entered the inner cave.
"Retreat!" Jiang Feng threw another fiery talisman to attract the attention of the female beast. The two of them flew away, evacuated the cave, and returned to the outside. Pu Tiexin was fighting happily with the male beast, but in this moment, he had already
After getting familiar with the opponent's fighting style, he successfully gained the upper hand. The strong hind legs of the male beast already had two serious scars, and his mobility was only 30%. However, Pu Tiexin also had many places on his body that were swept by the tail of the male beast.
Under the broken clothes, armor full of dents was revealed.
Ouch!
The female beast let out a different roar, apparently having discovered that her egg had been stolen. Jiang Chengzi followed Jiang Feng's established strategy and quickly passed the egg to Jiang Feng, spitting out a bubble, and the bubble flew towards the inner cave.
It ran straight towards the female beast that rushed out. The bubbles wrapped the huge figure of the female beast and slowly floated up. The female beast was startled, but she soon discovered that the strength of the bubbles was too weak, and spit out a bolt of lightning from her mouth.
The floating bubble is teetering on the edge, and it will shatter with just one more hit or a moment of waiting.
Taking advantage of this short gap, Jiang Feng decisively used the "White Jade Flying Needle" to activate [Intermediate Awakening] to get rid of the troubles caused by the greed of the black snake spirit. He quickly put the thunder lizard egg into the spirit beast bag, called Pu Tiexin, and hurriedly
Huh. The Thunder Lizard itself has very low value. It has thick skin and a lot of blood. There is no need to kill it. After the eggs are taken away, many female beasts will lay eggs again. Since the purpose has been achieved, there is no need to hurt them.
Just as the three men and two beasts were fighting fiercely, outside the cave, the ring-tailed black ants flying in the sky began to fall one after another. More and more monsters became active in the entire jungle. The black ants after mating were weak and delicious.
The main dish of the annual predatory feast. A large number of soldier ants have begun to pour out of the black hole outside the Thunder Lizard's cave, intending to protect these "delicious" black ants from falling into the mouth of the monster.
For a moment, the three people who ran out of the beast's den looked at the black ants and ordinary monsters, and they didn't know where they were fleeing.
