After more than ten days of climbing over mountains and ridges, everyone finally arrived at the outskirts of the Qingfeng Mountains. Looking up, they saw towering ancient trees, one after another, continuous; especially the main peak in the distance - Qingfeng Mountain, towering into the clouds, as if hanging on the horizon. Same.
After everyone rested for a while, they plunged into the Qingfeng Mountains. Within a few dozen miles, they could only find some common spiritual herbs. They encountered many wild beasts, including some low-level monsters, and occasionally killed one. It's not bad to sacrifice teeth.
"It seems that there are very few monsters encountered this year. They have all turned into spirits. They are hiding and not showing up. What's the point?" Chen Hao has experienced many times in the Monster Mountain Range and has experienced life and death wandering, but nothing like this year. It seemed that all the high-level monsters were hiding. There were only three or two big cats and kittens, which were not enough for everyone to hunt. Not many high-level spiritual herbs were found.
"Well! In our month of travel, we have only encountered one early-stage Golden Core demon beast. According to past experience, we penetrated so deep into the hinterland of the Demonic Beast Mountain Range, and we could only encounter three or five of them." Lu Yunfeng frowned. , also expressed his doubts.
"Although this is the case, we must be more cautious. The more unusual the movement, the less safe it is. Next, everyone should not spread too far, do not be alone, and carefully explore and search. Qingfeng Mountain is rich in many high-grade spiritual herbs. ." Jiang Yuxuan also reminded everyone.
Lu Yunfeng led Shi Zhong, Chen Hao, and Lan Zeliang along the far left side. They were a few miles apart and plunged into the ancient forest. They moved forward quickly while looking for spiritual herbs. It can ensure the largest search area; Jiang Yuxuan, Ying Yueyan, and Jiang Yi walked along the middle road; Yi Yuan, Shangguan Xue, and Hu Dali walked along the far right and soon disappeared into the dense forest.
Yi Yuan took out the black and green bark. Since it gave birth to two young leaves, it has remained the same until now, with almost no growth. After communicating with it, he realized that although it can grow by simply absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the speed is limited. Extremely slow, it doesn’t take more than tens of millions of years to grow up. At this point, Yi Yuan could only keep it for the time being. At least he knew that during the thunder tribulation and the state of 'union between man and nature', the black and blue bark grew extremely fast, which could greatly shorten the growth process.
In fact, Yi Yuan also understood in his heart that the black and blue bark was quite magical. Only a small piece of remaining bark was once again full of vitality, which showed that he definitely had a great background during his lifetime. However, the other party did not say it, and Yi Yuan did not. Ask about this; it now follows its own practice, everyone practices each other, helps each other, and lives in harmony. Moreover, the black and blue bark alone can help monks survive thunder tribulations, which is of immeasurable value, not to mention that it can detect whether there are high-level spiritual herbs within a certain range.
Shangguan Xue was also very surprised after learning where the black and blue bark came from. After learning the characteristics of the other party, her beautiful eyes wandered around, looking at it non-stop. Unfortunately, she searched through the memories in her mind and couldn't find it. The opponent's base.
Nowadays, the black and blue bark is suspended above Yi Yuan's head. Two small leaves are swaying gently. The faint blue light spreads more than fifty miles away. It is difficult to detect without careful observation. It reminds Yi Yuan from time to time. : High-grade spiritual grass grows in that place.
After traveling a hundred miles, I discovered a hidden late-stage Golden Core monster. This is a black bear spirit, with a body over four feet tall, curled up into a ball, hiding deep in the cave. There are rubbles piled at the entrance of the cave, and it is covered with green vines. Without scanning with his spiritual mind, Yi Yuan will definitely find it. No.
Hu Dali, who was following Yi Yuan and Shangguan Xue, glanced at the black and blue bark from time to time. He was also moved by the treasure that could help him overcome the thunder tribulation. When he goes through the Nascent Soul thunder tribulation in the future, he should be able to use it from Yi Yuan borrowed it, and the more Hu Dali thought about it, the more hopeful he became.
Now, under Yi Yuan's instructions, Hu Dali came to the place where the black bear spirit was hiding. He stretched out his claws and scattered the rubble with one palm, revealing a huge cave entrance. He roared from the tiger's mouth, awakening the sleeping black bear spirit. .
After the black bear spirit was awakened, it felt very speechless. It had hid so deep in the cave and was disturbed by its own kind. It felt aggrieved. Now is the time for humans to hunt monsters. Every time at this time, it hides and takes a nap. It has been forced to do this for half of the year; it has never offended any of its kind at the same level of cultivation. Its main practice is to swallow the essence of the sun and the moon, and it does not want to have grudges with other monsters. It can be passed on from the entrance of the cave. The roar of the tiger that came in made it very upset. Didn't it know that doing this would attract the pursuit of human monks? Sure enough, he is indeed a tiger. How can he be sent away?
When the black bear spirit came out of the cave, in addition to seeing Hu Dali looking at it teasingly not far from the cave entrance, it also saw two human monks in the foundation building stage. The male monk had an unknown grass on his head. He was weird and handsome. The female monk They were ethereal and graceful, standing side by side on the top of ancient trees in the distance. They seemed to turn their heads after just one glance.
The black bear spirit has been practicing for thousands of years. He looks dark and naive, but he is also a very thoughtful person. This is the experience passed down by the blood and tears of his father's generation. If he wants to live for a long time, he must recognize the reality and learn to live with it. Zangzhuo, it has been doing very well.
Now, facing the evil guests coming to the door, the black bear spirit straightened up, looking much stronger and more powerful than the tiger. His dark eyes rolled around a few times, and his body seemed to be shorter. He said in a naive voice: "Brother Tiger, don't leave." You're all right, you and I have no grudges, so why bother, little brother?"
Tiger Dali squinted at the black bear spirit without any fluctuation in his eyes. He was wondering in his heart: How many moves can he take down the black bear spirit.
Seeing that Hu Dali was silent, the black bear spirit had no choice but to speak again: "Brother Tiger, if you like Lao Hei's cave, just use it and I'll leave." After saying that, the black bear spirit moved to the side specially. Position, make way for the entrance of the cave. It is extremely uneasy now. Especially when it looks at the human monks, it is even more frightened and confused. This intuition has allowed it to avoid danger several times. Now it just wants to escape from this place quickly and hide. He had prepared a spare cave, and was heartbroken: If he didn't hide for a few years in peace, he wouldn't come out for air.
Hu Dali shook his head. He would carry out what his elder brother ordered without hesitation. To this day, he still remembers the Suspicion Husheng who was tortured by him after accepting the inheritance, especially the opponent's terrifying learning ability, which made him unable to turn away. In addition to Lei Yin's forged body, the extremely fast method he obtained after growing wings on his back, It was also performed to the extreme by the eldest brother, and it is simply unforgettable. In addition, the top-grade Qi and Blood Pill obtained from the elder brother greatly improved its strength, which made it lucky that it had followed the right person.
The black bear spirit's mood suddenly hit rock bottom. It seemed that it could not do anything better, but it was really unwilling to take action, let alone did not dare to take action. It only wanted to escape from this place. Its dark eyes were in confusion and fear. It secretly glanced at Yi Yuan, but He said in a low voice: "Brother Tiger, considering that we are all monsters, let Xiao Hei Ma go. I am very grateful and willing to serve the Immortal Monument."
After saying that, the body of the black bear spirit was slowly shrinking, its ears drooped, its paws bowed in vain, and the pleading look in its eyes made it look weak and pitiful, but it had already made up its mind, whether it succeeded or not, it had already planned to escape. direction, hoping to escape this disaster. But it was still uneasy and uneasy, so it could only secretly pray to the Buddha for blessing.
Unexpectedly, Tiger Dali became impatient and jumped up to face him. The tiger's palm condensed into a gang and turned into a millstone, so he slapped it down. It didn't want to fight with the black bear spirit, so it might have eliminated its opponent as soon as possible. In the evening, you can also eat a roasted bear paw. Hu Dali is already very familiar with this production process; the black bear spirit pretends to be innocent, with a look of fear in his eyes, but the bear paw is unceremonious and tries its best. Pushing it out, it was instantly filled with black energy. I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to strike with all my strength, and the tiger flew away with great force, trying to gain space and time for myself to escape.
It's a pity that the black bear spirit misjudged its own strength. Even though it and Hu Dali were both in the late stage of Jindan cultivation, their talent was far inferior to Hu Dali's, and they didn't have many adventures. Relying on the accumulation of heat over time, Coupled with the gifts from his father's generation, it is already remarkable to be able to reach the current state, but compared to Hu Dali, it is still far behind.
Just like that, with a slight touch, at the moment of collision, the black bear spirit's entire huge body quickly shot into the rock behind him with a loud noise; after the "puff" sound, the black bear spirit's nearly four feet Gao's thick body was directly embedded into the stone wall, and bursts of "rumbling" collapse sounds came from the stone cave in the mountain. In an instant, a large amount of dust rose up from the entrance of the stone cave where Lao Hei was invisible. , within a few breaths, it was covered up by gravel again.
Tiger vigorously waved his claws and blew away the dust in one breath. He only used half of his own strength to beat the black bear spirit until he vomited blood. He was unable to fight back. Especially the old black bear spirit was inlaid on the stone wall, and its appearance was quite cute. Compared with Chichi; Hu Dali is more satisfied with his performance, which means that his strength has surged a lot recently. Even though his realm has not improved yet, the power he exerts is more than two or three times greater than before. Monsters of the same realm The beast has very few opponents. Except for the Zhuoqing, it can never see through the opponent, and it vaguely feels that its bloodline is being suppressed by the opponent.
However, Hu Dali believes: both are in the foundation building stage, and the strength of Bao Qing is definitely not the match of Brother Yi Yuan. It is because he does not believe in evil. Hu Hu has done it many times. These are lessons of blood and tears, but the benefits gained It's quite a lot, and it will have to keep up its efforts in the future. With the help of the best Qi and Blood Pills, it is not impossible to surpass Zhuo Qing. It has set a lofty goal for itself.
Black Bear Spirit's heart felt completely cold now. He tried his best, but couldn't catch Tiger Dali's light blow. The internal organs in his body were seriously injured. He vomited several mouthfuls of blood before he felt his breathing became easier. Seeing that Brother Tiger was again Stretching out the tiger's paw, it looked stern and quickly begged for mercy, saying: "Brother Tiger, don't rush to do anything. As long as I, Xiao Hei, am spared my life, Xiao Hei is willing to worship you as the boss, let you drive me, and work hard without complaining."
In one move, the black bear spirit has understood the situation clearly and understands that it is difficult for him to escape. He is also an old bear with a clear mind: the desperate screams of his fathers are still echoing in his mind, and the fate of other monsters , it has seen a lot, and has no idea of fighting for revenge. Therefore, it would rather lie around day and night, and occasionally perform tooth sacrifices, but never show up. Although it does not have much freedom in practice, it still cherishes its life after living cautiously for so long. Now, faced with a life-and-death decision, it compromised. The main reason was the human monk in the distance, which made it unable to resist. It believed in its own intuition.
Hu Dali glanced at the black bear spirit, feeling that he was pitiful and could be left as his little brother. He turned his head and glanced at Yi Yuan, but received no answer and did not make any move for a while.
At this moment, Yi Yuan had just finished delivering a message to his aunt Jiang Yuxuan. Such a big noise had already been heard over there.
As for the black bear spirit's begging for mercy, Yi Yuan looked at it and really looked down on it: its aptitude is average, its attack power is too weak, and it can't even catch a light blow from the tiger. It's too embarrassing to keep, so it's better to get rid of it. , you can also chew a bear paw to satisfy your cravings, bear bile can also be used as medicine, and the inner elixir can also be refined into fake elixirs, so resources are not wasted.
Yi Yuan shook his head, but secretly signaled Hu Dali to take action quickly, lest the black bear spirit couldn't think about it and blew up the golden elixir, wasting all his resources.
The black bear spirit saw Yi Yuan shaking his head, and for a moment his heart went cold. The human monk's eyes clearly looked down on him, while Hu Dali's eyes stared at him with ill intentions. After comparing the two, it was true that There is a huge gap between him and Hu Dali. Now is really not the time to hesitate.
"Brother Hu... Lord Hu, can you please give me a way to survive? Xiaohei has practiced to the late stage of Jindan. He has gone through thousands of years, sleeping day and night, sucking the essence of the sun and the moon. He has never had any intention of harming others. I really I don’t want to die! I’m useful, I’m of great use, I can help you... explore paths, search for spiritual herbs, work as a cow or a horse... In short, I can do anything, I just want to live. , even if I am branded with the 'Mark of Controlling the Beast', I am willing to do so." The black bear finished speaking tremblingly, with a strong desire to survive in his eyes.
