"Click!"
A shrill scream resounded throughout the entire mountain range.
Entering Li Zhi's attack range, large red vines appeared and slapped Lan Qiu.
The leader relied on the formation to resist being whipped by the vines. On the other hand, Lan Qiu was being whipped by the red vines, and his blue feathers were constantly being hooked and fallen off by the spikes, and blue-green blood was constantly dripping.
"Don't be stupid, attack from a distance, don't let it leave the attack range of the vines." Seeing that the other members were unmoved, the leader shouted anxiously.
"Yeah." Lan Qiu tilted his head and stared at the group leader with a very unfriendly look. If a large part of these vines hadn't been wrapped around Lan Qiu's body, he would have rushed towards the group leader without hesitation.
After caring for the plant for many years, the reason why Lanqiu hasn't picked it yet is because the red vines give it a headache.
Among the members of the mercenary group, there was a one-eyed monk who bent his bow and set an arrow. The arrowhead flashed with an emerald green light, which was a kind of poison that could seal the throat upon seeing blood.
Aiming at Lan Qiu who was entangled in the vines and unable to dodge, he loosened his hand and the arrow drew a parabola in the air, passing through the almost airtight vine gap and piercing Lan Qiu's eyes.
The eyeball, which was the size of a fist, deflated like a balloon, and a large amount of mucus spurted out.
Not long after, Lan Qiu was poisoned and died. The red vines stopped beating and wrapped it up as if they had intelligence, and blood overflowed through the gaps in the vines.
The leader took advantage of the red vines to stop attacking and closed the formation. He took out a few Li Zhi in a few steps and ran out of the vines' attack range.
Everyone looked at those priceless Li Zhi without any trace of sadness on their faces, and the joy was beyond words. They joined the mercenary group just to seek money. From the day they joined, they expected that they and their partners would eventually become rich. This is how the day will go.
"Bury their bodies on the spot. As long as there are still family members, the settlement fee and their share of a spiritual stone will not be less."
After spending a quarter of an hour burying the bodies, less than eight members of the mercenary group left on their way back.
After they left, Xiao Chu jumped down from a nearby tree.
Lan Qiu's shrill scream attracted her attention. Not wanting to deal with the guys from the mercenary group, she chose to hide in a nearby tree to hide her aura to avoid being discovered.
"It looks very valuable." Xiao Chu looked at Kazuki Rizhi and murmured to himself.
Although she couldn't recognize what it was, nature had its own laws. This tree was guarded by demons and was not weak, which proved that its fruits were valuable.
"A lonely little cutie."
"You look delicious!"
Two voices appeared at the same time, and Xiao Chu looked back. It was a big snake with two heads.
The ability to speak human words is at least equivalent to that of a monk at the Golden Core stage.
Xiao Chu summoned the flying sword and wanted to run away. As soon as he stepped on it, the big snake swept over with its tail, and both the man and the flying sword flew dozens of feet away.
"In recent years, there have only been some rough guys. I haven't eaten a girl with thin skin and tender meat for a long time."
"Get out of my way, this human being is mine." An inappropriate voice sounded. The source of the voice was a monkey wearing clothes, a mandrill to be precise.
The mandrill is a very dangerous monster with a hallucinogenic substance in its urine that likes to destroy human women.
Apparently Xiao Chu was not the only one attracted by Lan Qiu's scream.
"Who do you think you are? There are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey is the king, huh!"
The two demons struggled with each other without saying a word.
Xiao Chu endured the pain and crawled into the dense forest. He staggered as he walked, looking like he would fall to the ground at any time.
Meng De's soul clone brought out a bottle of healing elixir.
Xiao Chu saw that Meng De's soul clone was a little excited and hurriedly said: "Master, you finally woke up."
Refining the flying sword consumed most of the soul clone's strength and fell into a short sleep. It would take him at least half a month to recover, and his combat effectiveness was equivalent to nothing.
Xiao Chu took the elixir and found a leafy tree to hide in.
The two demons soon discovered that their prey was gone. There was no point of conflict, and there was no need to fight over it. They each roared at each other and started looking for Xiao Chu.
"Logically speaking, there shouldn't be Jindan realm monsters outside. They should have been attracted by Lan Qiu's cry. Monsters are territorial and will leave soon if they can't find you.
Heal your injuries first. When you are almost recovered, I will take you to pick the remaining Li Zhi. Those can be sold for at least ten top-grade spiritual stones. After excluding the thousand low-grade spiritual stones you have to pay, there is still a lot left. You can be better equipped. yourself. "
After the incarnation of Meng De's soul finished all this, Xiao Chu took out the egg from the storage ring and asked: "Master, do you know what kind of demon egg this is?"
The soul clone looked at it carefully for a long time, and said with some uncertainty: "Looking at this pattern, it should be a dragon egg. However, the dragon clan has disappeared for a long time. This egg should be born by a demon with dragon bloodline, because of the atavism phenomenon. Some mutations have caused the dragon bloodline to become more pure."
Meng De, who was rushing here from afar, received the feedback from the soul clone and couldn't help but sigh, the luck of the lucky girl is really unreasonable.
You can pick up treasures just by wandering down the mountain. Demons with dragon blood have not appeared for nearly a thousand years.
Click!
There was an extremely weak cracking sound, and a thumb-length crack appeared on the blue giant egg covered with dragon scales under the gaze of Xiao Chu and the soul clone.
Click, the cracks gradually spread throughout the blue dome.
Large pieces of eggshells shattered, and a small blue head stuck out.
"Ah?" Xiao Chu was confused. There was actually a blue toad inside the egg. "Where did the toad get the dragon bloodline?"
"The fourth son of the nine sons born from a dragon, Pulao is the birth of a dragon and a toad. It's not like that. I think this is just an ordinary toad."
While the two were wondering why this thing had dragon blood, the back of the blue toad began to bulge at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a flower bone emerged from the back of the toad.
The soul clone looked at the toad with a flower on its back and was confused. He had lived for so long and looked through Taixuanzong's collection of books. He knew all the monsters in the world, and he knew almost all of them. He had never seen this thing before.
"In any case, it is an indisputable fact that he has dragon bloodline. The bloodline determines the upper limit of the demon. Take good care of him. Maybe he will grow into a top demon in the future."
Xiao Chu saw that the flower bones carried on the toad's back looked like Laba garlic pickled in the winter, so he named the toad Garlic. He took out food from the storage ring and fed it without smelling the garlic.
Most demons were not interested in human food before they transformed. They preferred treasures from heaven and earth.
Demons with stronger bloodline eat more and have higher demand for genius treasures. At the same time, the combat power they can exert is also ridiculously high.
"He won't eat this stuff. Feed him a few grains at a time."
Xiao Chu hid in the tree for more than half an hour. After confirming that the two demons had left, he returned to the area near the tree just now.
Lan Qiu had become a mummy at this time. Seeing this, the soul clone explained: "Li Zhishu absorbs nutrients from the ground. He also relies on the vines that grow with him to prey on living creatures. He penetrates living objects through the thorns on the vines and sucks them." His blood, with your current level of cultivation, you can only outwit it."
"Quack!"
Garlic jumped off Xiao Chu's shoulder and jumped step by step towards Li Zhishu.
Red vines burst out of the ground and whipped around randomly. Every time the vines were about to hit Garlic, they would be bounced away.
The vines hit the ground and whipped up dust all around. The force was painful just to look at.
Garan approached Li Zhi and opened his mouth. He stretched out his tongue half a foot and rolled Li Zhi into his mouth and ate it.
In half a stick of incense, not a single plant on the entire tree was gone, but the garlic head grew bigger.
Before, it was only about the size of an adult's two and a half fists, but now it is half the size of a human head.
Xiao Chu realized that he had found a treasure.
"I knew you would come back." A sinister voice recalled that the mandrill was actually hiding in a nearby tree just now, and it poked its head out from the dense branches and leaves with an extremely charming smile on its face.
"Quack!"
Garlic rolled up a frozen vine on the ground with his tongue and threw it out. His biological instinct told him that the mandrill was dangerous.
The vine hit the mandrill squarely on the face.
"Where did the toad come from?" The mandrill picked a few leaves at random, and with the sound of swishing knives through the air, the leaves struck at several people like flying knives.
The soul clone barely held up a barrier to stop him.
"Quack! Quack!" Garlic shouted twice, and a durian-like ice ball condensed on the bud behind him.
Before the ice ball could be launched, the mandrill jumped down from the tree and kicked the garlic away.
Less than an hour after Garan Tou was born, how could he be the opponent of a mandrill in the Golden Core Realm? After thinking about it with his head no bigger than a walnut kernel, he chose to lie on the ground and pretend to be dead.
"Little beauty, let's go home with me."
Xiao Chu held the flying sword and retreated step by step. The powerful pressure emanating from the mandrill made her dare not resist at all.
In the jungle, when a sheep encounters a tiger, it will never dare to resist. This is coercion.
"Don't be stupid, run away." The soul clone said this and raised his hand to slap the mandrill.
Out of his inexplicable trust in his master, Xiao Chu picked up the dead garlic on the ground, turned around and ran away.
The mandrill looked at the translucent soul in front of him and scratched his head.
"What are you?"
"I am your father." The soul clone looked like a big cockroach.
He felt that Meng De would be there in just one stick of incense at most, and he didn't feel guilty at all.
More than three hundred miles south of the mountain range, Luo Ming, who was wearing a black dress, was being carried towards this side by Meng De, who was wearing a black mask.
"Honey, why do you wear such an ugly mask?"
"I'm so handsome. If other girls see me, they will definitely compete with you. I'm so considerate and it's hard to refute the face of other girls, so I can only prevent others from seeing what I look like."
Luo Ming resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said nothing.
When Meng De rushed to the rescue, the soul clone was almost transparent and its aura was very weak. He could only see a general outline, but couldn't even see clearly what it looked like.
The mandrill didn't even see the person coming and was slapped into a pulp.
