It was already early in the morning, the lights everywhere had long been extinguished, and there were no pedestrians on the road. All kinds of stars twinkled slightly in the sky, as if they were like pairs of small eyes admiring the tranquility on the ground. The little animals on the ground who were just getting ready for the night could not help but look up and admire the brilliance and magnificence of the starry sky.
The moon is particularly beautiful tonight, and she no longer covers her beauty because of her shyness. The silver gauze-like moonlight gently spread on the ground, as if preparing for the appearance of a certain heavyweight guest. Looking from a distance, it was very shocking.
At the entrance of Lishui Village, a girl was walking back and forth, looking very anxious, and muttering in a low voice: "Why haven't you come back yet? Why haven't you come back yet?"
But what the girl didn't know was that not far away from her, a pair of red eyes were staring at her, and they began to approach the girl quietly and slowly.
Slowly, slowly, those eyes walked out of the shadow of the tree, revealing her true face, which was a demon wolf. The distance between the two is less than ten meters. At this distance, as long as they get a little closer, the girl will not be able to react effectively at the speed of the demon wolf. Even if she can summon defensive magic by luck, the demon wolf is confident that she will She was put to death.
Just get a little closer
The demon wolf began to show its fierce teeth, ready to attack at any time.
Right now, the muscles of the demon wolf's hind legs began to tighten, preparing to launch a surprise attack.
However, what the demon wolf didn't know was that when he was about to hunt the girl, he also became someone else's prey, and a figure suddenly appeared near the demon wolf.
But the situation was so sudden. Even if the demon wolf knew the other party's existence immediately with its keen perception, the demon wolf had no time to react. By the time she reacted, her head had already separated from her body. Home.
bu bu!
Two sounds of something falling to the ground sounded one after another, which seemed particularly clear in the silent night. The girl was so frightened that she trembled. She quickly looked towards the direction of the sound, and saw a black shadow. Just as the girl began to gather magic energy, a familiar voice suddenly sounded.
"it's me!"
"Brother Yixi, you are finally back."
Luo Yixi walked out of the darkness with a black heart crystal in her hand: "This demon wolf is too cunning. I originally thought I could use that leg to lure her out, but she guessed it was a trap and directly We went around in a big circle to attack the village. You don’t have to wait for me, just go to bed, we will do it tomorrow.”
"I found the raw material for that scent."
"What? Let's go over there and don't disturb the villagers."
"good"
So the two stopped 10 meters away from the village. Du Xuerong took out a book, and Luo Yixi took out a small magic tool from his body. Soon after, the magic tool started to activate and emit a faint light.
"Look here, there is a faint fragrance that can absorb the smell of blood. My aunt told me not long ago that she had seen this kind of grass on a mountain over there, about 30 kilometers away."
"Let's set off now. We should be able to get there before dawn."
"Yeah", Du Xuerong nodded lightly.
…
It started to get dark, and the two finally arrived at the foot of the mountain before dawn. They were originally worried about not being able to find the way up the mountain, but it happened to be that they could see everything around them clearly at this time, so they found the way quickly.
"Where do you think blood orchids are most likely to grow?"
Although Du Xuerong is not an expert in this regard, she has often gone to the mountains with her family to collect herbs since she was a child. Du Xuerong can definitely be called a professional when it comes to various habits of nature, so Luo Yixi wants to hear Du Xuerong's views.
"I thought about it last night. There are two most likely places. One is a lake in the mountains, and the other is a low-lying area. This type of terrain is the easiest for water flow to form."
"Okay. Based on my experience, when looking for water in this dense forest, we'd better go to the top of the mountain to observe the terrain."
"Yes"
So the two of them walked towards the top of the mountain. It took another half an hour to reach the top of the mountain. Luo Yixi jumped on the tallest tree and began to observe the surrounding terrain.
After determining the direction, the two began to go down the mountain. After another half an hour, the two finally heard the sound of water.
"Listen, we found it"
"Very good"
The two quickened their pace and walked over to confirm. After walking through the thick grass and walking another 100 meters, a river appeared in front of them. But when they got close to the river, they had to face a problem. That is whether to go downstream or upstream.
Du Xuerong looked at Luo Yixi, but Luo Yixi didn't know how to choose.
"How about we toss the gold coin, head upstream and tails downstream?"
At this time, no matter which way you go, it's actually a matter of luck, so it's not a big problem to leave it to gold coins.
Du Xuerong nodded and said, "I don't think there is any problem."
"Okay, then I'll start throwing it away."
Just as Luo Yixi was about to throw up the gold coin, Du Xuerong suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute." Du Xuerong hurriedly squatted down, then stretched out his hand to release magic energy towards the river, and took a ball of water in front of his eyes.
Luo Yixi also walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Look, there is a red leaf in this water. Help me take it out. I can't control my magic very well."
"Okay", Luo Yixi released red magic energy and instantly wrapped the opponent's water ball. The isolated magic energy dissipated immediately. The water ball dispersed and turned into a puddle of water. Luo Yixi carefully Controlling the magic energy, he took out the leaves from the water and placed them on Du Xuerong's palm, then threw the water into the river.
Du Xuerong pinched the leaf a few times, put it to her nose and smelled it a few times, then said excitedly: "I think I know which way to go."
Luo Yixi also smiled softly: "Upstream"
Although they found the direction, the road up the mountain was not easy. Almost no place was flat. After walking along the river for two hours, Du Xuerong couldn't walk anymore, so the two had to rest for a while.
"I'm sorry, I was the one holding me back."
"If it weren't for you, we might not be able to find the direction yet."
"However, we have been walking for more than two hours, but we haven't found anything at all. And from the beginning to now, I have been observing the water, but I haven't seen a single leaf of blood orchid. If it is blown by the wind, If it were on the water, it would be difficult for us to find where this leaf came from.”
"Don't be so pessimistic, little sister. The boat will straighten out when it reaches the bridge. When a person's mood gets better, the direction will naturally appear."
"But"
"I have a hunch that we are almost there. Take a good rest and eat something, and we are going to start the second half of our efforts."
That's right, it's only noon and the sun hasn't even set yet. Why did you give up so quickly?
After simply eating some dry food, Luo Yixi and Luo Yixi continued to look for where the blood orchid grass grew.
Another three hours passed.
"Come on, be careful"
"Well, thank you"
Luo Yixi controlled Du Xuerong to slowly fall from the height to the ground. At this time, Du Xuerong's forehead was already covered with sweat. Du Xuerong gently wiped the sweat with her sleeves and then followed.
But after walking a few steps, Du Xuerong suddenly stepped on a tree root because of overwork. His foot slipped and he was about to fall into the water. Fortunately, Luo Yixi reacted in time and used magic energy to help Du Xuerong, and Du Xuerong was able to stabilize. Stayed.
"Sorry, I'm really, a little tired."
"Sit down and adjust." Looking at Du Xuerong's tired body, Luo Yixi was also a little worried, but he was not a doctor or pharmacist, so he couldn't help at all.
Du Xuerong immediately took out a bottle of elixir from the space ring, poured out a brown elixir, ate it, and then began to sit cross-legged on the ground to practice and recover.
(She has almost reached her limit. She hasn’t slept all night. With the physique of a junior magician, it is already very good that she can persist until now)
An hour later, Du Xuerong's condition became much more stable. After Du Xuerong opened her eyes, she took out another pill and drank it.
"Brother Yixi, let's leave quickly before it gets dark yet."
"How is your body feeling now?"
"I feel much better after taking two Qingshen pills. It shouldn't be a problem to stay awake for an hour or two."
"If we still haven't found it after an hour or two, let's rest there overnight and continue searching tomorrow."
"Um"
The two continued to walk forward. I wonder if the wind was a little jealous of the girl's tired posture. Soon after, a gust of wind blew towards them, making them feel a sense of comfort instantly.
Feeling the breeze blowing, Du Xuerong showed a slight smile, but the next moment, Du Xuerong stopped: "Brother Yixi, I smell the fragrance, we are about to find it."
"See, when your mood gets better, things will get better."
Du Xuerong nodded excitedly: "Let's go quickly."
"good"
The two quickened their pace, and not long after, the scenery in front of them suddenly opened up.
There was a large piece of flat land in front of him, with colorful flowers and plants growing everywhere, but none of these caught Du Xuerong's attention. What really attracted Du Xuerong was a piece of red grass not far away.
(Found it, finally found it): "One..."
Before Du Xuerong could react, Luo Yixi covered the other person's mouth, then squatted down and hid: "Shh, there is someone."
At this time, two people were walking back and forth not far away, as if patrolling nearby.
Du Xuerong nodded slightly, and Luo Yixi let go of his hand.
"They are from Truman. They are indeed responsible for what happened in the village. They are not as good as pigs or dogs." Du Xuerong clenched her fists angrily.
"Don't worry, why do you think they are here?"
After observing for a while, Du Xuerong nodded: "It seems that he is guarding somewhere."
"Come on, let's take a closer look"
