The entire medicinal forest covers an area of more than ten square miles, with mountains on the north and south sides. The mountains are densely covered with vegetation and some medicinal herbs are grown there.
Chu Xiu looked at both sides and vaguely understood why Master Jiu Taoist, who was obviously penniless, could provide him with so many tonic medicines.
Arriving at the western edge of the medicinal forest, Meng Tiangang frowned slightly and looked at Xia Qingshan, "Are you sure that the Red Flame Clam has always been in your medicinal forest?"
Along the way, his perception has covered the entire medicinal forest, and no trace of the Red Flame Clam was found.
Xia Qingshan said quickly: "Last night, the Red Flame Clam had croaked."
"This is strange." Meng Tiangang closed his eyes and felt carefully again.
"Uncle, in the past two months since Zhu Hu appeared, which herb has suffered the most serious losses?" Chu Xiu asked.
Xia Qingshan said directly: "Curculifera ginseng, Clematis clematis and White Ganoderma lucidum."
"Curculigo ginseng is sweet and warm in nature; Clematis is pungent, salty and warm in nature; Ganoderma lucidum is pungent and warm in nature." Chu Xiu pondered.
Xia Qingshan said calmly: "There are many herbs with similar medicinal properties in the entire medicinal forest."
The Scarlet Flame Clam has been in this medicinal forest for more than two months. Everyone in the Xia Mansion has discussed no less than a hundred ways to capture it. Naturally, they have also paid attention to which herbs have suffered the most serious losses, and have also thought about using this to find the Crimson Flame Clam. Haunting patterns.
Chu Xiu laughed and said nothing more.
"Boy Chu, what do you want to say?" Meng Tiangang opened his eyes and looked at Chu Xiu.
Xia Qingshan frowned slightly and looked at Chu Xiu.
"As far as I know, the Red Flame Clam feeds on poisonous insects." Chu Xiu muttered, "It shouldn't be interested in medicinal herbs."
"What do you mean?" Xia Qingshan frowned even more tightly, he didn't understand.
"What Mr. Chu means is that in addition to the red flame red clams in your medicine forest, there are also poisonous insects that red clams like to eat." Meng Tiangang said calmly.
"Poisonous insect?" Xia Qingshan was stunned.
"Think carefully, what kind of poisonous insects are usually found near the three herbs you just mentioned?" Meng Tiangang ordered.
"It should be...green poisonous mantis." Xia Qingshan hesitated. When taking care of the medicinal forest, in addition to clearing some weeds, it is also necessary to remove some pests according to the season.
The green poisonous cricket is a kind of mole cricket with green wings and a poisonous sac on its tail.
"The Crimson Flame Clam should also be considered a type of toad." Chu Xiu said softly, "Generally speaking, toads lurk and hide during the day, and come out to hunt at dusk and night."
Xia Qingshan retorted: "It also appeared during the day."
"Is it a rainy day?" Chu Xiu suddenly asked.
Xia Qingshan was startled and said in surprise: "How did you know?"
Chu Xiu smiled and said nothing.
Xia Qingshan was depressed for a moment and secretly glared at Chu Xiu.
This kid is pretending to be with him? !
"Boy Xia, first send someone to catch some green poisonous mantises, and wait until night to see if you can draw out the red flame clams." Meng Tiangang glanced at the entire medicinal forest and said confidently, "As long as it dares to come out, I can catch it!"
"Okay." Xia Qingshan responded. He knew that there was absolutely no way that Senior Meng could stay here longer. Time was very tight.
Chu Xiu and Meng Tiangang came to a pavilion deep in the medicinal forest.
Xia Qingshan graciously sent two pots of 100-year-old Tusu wine.
"Senior Meng, if you need anything, just tell me, no need to be polite." Xia Qingshan said with a smile.
Meng Tiangang waved his hand, "You only need to prepare the Wangyou Wine. Since I am already here, I will naturally help you capture the Red Flame Clam."
"Haha, okay." Xia Qingshan laughed and glanced at Chu Xiu, who was sitting opposite Meng Tiangang, feeling a little unhappy.
As the head of the Xia family, he could only stand and laugh, but this boy could calmly drink with Meng Tiangang.
"Have a short break and stay with Senior Meng." Xia Qingshan gave instructions in the tone of an elder.
Chu Xiu nodded.
On a hill near the medicinal forest.
Duanmu Yaoyao put down the bamboo tube in his hand, and his delicate eyebrows knitted together.
"Seventh Senior Sister, they seem to be catching poisonous green mantis." Tang Jiabao said in a low voice.
"I saw it." Duanmu Yaoyao said in a muffled voice. Her plan was to start with the food of the Red Flame Clam to lure out the Crimson Flame Clam, and then use Tang Jiabao's Tang Sect hidden weapon to capture it.
"Meng Tiangang is ranked tenth on the Xiaoyao list. We are definitely no match." Tang Jiabao felt helpless.
Duanmu Yaoyao glanced in the direction of Yaolin Pavilion, frowning and saying nothing.
If Meng Tiangang was the only one here, she wouldn't be too worried. After all, the Red Flame Clam was very elusive and very good at hiding. If it didn't show up, even Meng Tiangang would probably have to spend a certain amount of time finding it.
However, now Xia Qingshan, Meng Tiangang and others have found a way to lure out the Red Flame Clam, which completely disrupted Duanmu Yaoyao's plan.
"How about we go directly?" Tang Jiabao hesitated, "In their eyes, the Red Flame Clam is poison, and they may destroy it directly after capturing it.
If we reveal our identity, even the famous Meng Tiangang will probably give us a little favor from Zhuque Academy. "
Duanmu Yaoyao said quietly: "If we take over the Red Flame Clam from Meng Tiangang, our operation will be considered a failure."
"Um... isn't our purpose just to catch the Red Flame Clam?" Tang Jiabao whispered.
"I want to rely on myself, not the academy's reputation." Duanmu Yaoyao said proudly.
Tang Jiabao was speechless for a moment. He really wanted to say that we could know that there were red clams in this medicinal forest, didn't we just rely on the academy's information network?
"But we can't deal with Meng Tiangang." Tang Jiabao said quietly.
Duanmu Yaoyao hummed and said, "If you can't deal with him, why can't you lure him away?"
Tang Jiabao's eyelids twitched fiercely, and he quickly shook his head and said, "I can't do it."
Although he thinks his strength is pretty good, compared with the famous Meng Tiangang, a master of fists and palms, he is as small as a frog or an elephant.
"Can't you deal with that kid?" Duanmu Yaoyao looked at Tang Jiabao sideways.
"That boy?" Tang Jiabao was startled and looked up at the pavilion deep in the medicinal forest.
"As far as I know, Meng Tiangang has a grandson." Duanmu Yaoyao said thoughtfully, "If I guessed correctly, that kid should be Meng Tiangang's grandson.
We will go there later. As a disciple of the Tang Sect, you challenge that boy. If you win, let them leave and let us deal with the Red Flame Clam. "
"Um...what if I lose?" Tang Jiabao said weakly.
Duanmu Yaoyao sneered: "Then you will become the first and only disciple of Dean Feng to lose."
Tang Jiabao's scalp was a little numb. He looked in the direction of the medicine forest again and muttered: "What I am best at is not fighting."
I feel quite unsure.
"Then you think of a way to let him compete with you with hidden weapons or poisons." Duanmu Yaoyao said calmly.
"Hidden weapons, poison..." Tang Jiabao's eyes flashed, and his heart suddenly moved.
At this time, Duanmu Yaoyao's eyes lit up.
"Biushi!" the two said at the same time.
The purpose of their coming here, and the reason why Meng Tiangang and his grandson appeared in the medicinal forest, were to capture the Red Flame Clam.
That being the case…
"Let's go." Duanmu Yaoyao stood up, a charming and sweet smile bloomed on her stunning face, turned the bamboo tube in her hand, and said, "It's okay to reveal your identity as a disciple of the academy on such an occasion to bring glory to the academy."
Tang Jiabao nodded, feeling a little expectant in his heart.
If it's just poison, he won't be afraid of the Seventh Senior Sister in front of him!
