Traveling to the deepest part of Shefu Mountain, everyone discovered a lush and spiritual place, which was in sharp contrast to the miasma of poisonous insects all around.

"Sir, you're lucky, it's Lingzi Luotai!" You Chi's eyes lit up and he said to Zhou Yang excitedly.

"Oh, Ling Zi Luo Moss, this is a good thing! This thing is very hard to find. It is used in many detoxifying pills such as the high-grade Blue Blood Pill and the top-grade poison-avoiding pill!" Zhou Yang naturally knew about this thing.

Spirit Purple Moss is a precious material on the treasure list. It is also recorded in the Alchemy Essentials. It is also the main material for refining the fourth-grade Shangqing Dan.

The detoxification effect of the Shangqing Pill is infinitely better than the high-grade Blue Blood Pill and the top-level poison-avoiding pill. If the Dry Bone Grass is found again, this pill can be refined.

Of course, the premise is that his cultivation reaches a higher level. It is extremely difficult for someone who is only at the second level of Tianyuan to refine a fourth-grade elixir.

Wherever the poison is, there must be an antidote, which is in line with the principle that all things in the world are interdependent and mutually reinforcing.

Just the faint fragrance emitted by the spirit purple moss makes the poisonous mist and miasma dare not approach, and even snakes and insects can't avoid it.

Zhou Yang naturally gained another harvest.

Although dry bone grass is rare, it can still be seen in some big cities, so with the spiritual purple moss, the materials required for the fourth-grade high-purity elixir are almost the same.

After crossing Shefu Mountain, there is another boundless forest. ,

According to You Chi, this forest is a rainforest area with high temperatures and rain all year round, and monsters are rampant. The thunder field is located very deep in this rainforest, and it is estimated that it is still eight or nine days away.

A large river extends from the mountain to the depths of the rain forest. It is unknown how long it is. After entering the rain forest, it begins to form tributaries, leading to all directions.

Everyone made a raft and headed down the river towards the rainforest.

When we first entered, the water was very turbid, with dead branches and dead wood soaking in it from time to time. You Chi and the others had to use long wooden poles to fiddle with it from time to time, which was very troublesome.

Later, they simply used magic to clear it to ensure that the raft could move forward smoothly.

This jungle is so unfathomable and full of towering trees that it would take more than a dozen adults to hug each other.

The crown of the tree is several hundred feet high, blocking out the sky and preventing sunlight from being seen. From time to time, the sounds of birds and beasts can be heard in the jungle, which is very different from other places in the secret realm.

The raft went down the river, which saved a lot of effort. The group of people sat on it, talking and laughing, and it was very comfortable.

The further you go, the clearer the river water becomes, but the river channel becomes narrower and narrower, and the river surface begins to fluctuate.

"You Qing, hold on, there's a gentle slope ahead!" You Chi reminded as he adjusted the direction of the raft.

"clear."

"Sir, even we rarely enter this jungle. There are many unknown monsters in it, and they have all kinds of strange magical powers. It is said that there is also a sleeping beast, and cultivators will fall into a deep sleep when they see it. The end will naturally be tragic. Very good." You Chidao.

"Is there such a strange monster?" Zhou Yang and Xi Danjin both opened their mouths.

This was the first time they had heard of the name Sleeping Beast. If they met such a guy, they would be willing to send a sheep into the tiger's mouth.

Naturally, Qi Sihai's family had heard of this beast and were not surprised.

"No cultivator who has ever seen this beast has survived, so no one can tell what it looks like. It's just been passed down among the tribe." Qi Sihai said.

"No one escaped?" Zhou Yang was confused and a little unbelievable.

"Probably not." You Chidao.

"Since no one escaped, then who discovered this beast?" Zhou Yang asked again.

"It's not clear. It's just word of mouth. It is said that it exists in the deepest part of this jungle."

You Chi's words frightened Xi Danjin, while Qi Mei curled her lips and looked disdainful towards Xi Danjin.

Xi Danjin's face turned red and he glared at Qi Mei angrily.

"Sir, there is no need to worry. It is said that this beast is good at being alone and only harms lone cultivators and other monsters. It will not dare to appear when there are more people." You Chi's words made Xi Danjin sigh in relief.

"That means we can't act alone in this jungle?" Zhou Yang said.

"Yes, it's too dangerous to move alone."

"Then everyone should be careful." Zhou Yang nodded, but he was very curious about that kind of monster. It can make people fall asleep with just one look. What kind of magical power is that? Is it hypnosis?

In the world of cultivation, this kind of Taoism exists, and it is actually a soul-type attack. However, this type of attack requires a process, and it cannot make people fall asleep just by looking at it, unless the cultivation level is too different.

Zhou Yang had been thinking about the legend of the Sleeping Beast, while others began to get busy.

After the river narrowed and the water became clear, various fish jumped from time to time in the water, and some actually jumped directly onto the raft.

Xi Danjin and Qi Mei were busy catching fish, and sometimes they even argued over grabbing a fish.

Qi Mei got a bunch of fish of various colors and sizes, but Xi Danjin only wanted the light or silver ones.

One is for fun, and the other is for eating, because the more colorful the fish, the less likely they are to be eaten as they are very toxic.

Suddenly, the raft sank and fell straight down.

The You brothers quickly used their magic to stabilize the raft and control its falling speed.

As a result, a bunch of fish brought up by Xi Danjin and Qi Mei were washed down by the river. Little Qimei pouted in anger, but Xi Danjin covered her mouth and snickered.

It turned out that there was a downward bend in the river, which happened to form a small waterfall and carried the raft down.

After traveling like this for more than two hours, You Chi controlled the raft and stopped because there was a broken tree blocking the road ahead.

The giant tree lay across the middle, blocking the river.

Everyone had no choice but to get off the raft and fly up the banks on both sides. It was almost sunset and it was time to find a place to camp.

There are still unknown giant trees along the river, and there are many types. There are grasses, thorns, and seemingly swamps under the trees.

After dark, from behind the grass, thorns and treetops in the distance, there seemed to be evil eyes looking over, which made people tremble all over.

"How can we camp in this poor place with monsters everywhere?" Qi He muttered.

Feeling the cold eyes around him, he really wanted to kill with his sword. However, the jungle was the territory of monsters, and the consequences of rash actions would be very tragic.

You Chi and You Qing chanted spells to drive away the poisonous insects and monsters around them, leading everyone to a flat place.

"Sir, if we camp on the spot, we need to divide into two groups to take turns guarding them, but that would be a bit troublesome." You Chidao.

"What do you mean?" Zhou Yang was not familiar with this place, but seeing You Chi's look, he knew he had a solution.

"If it were before, we would have had to go through a lot of trouble because we didn't have any magic weapons, but now it's much easier."

"how do I say this."

"With such a tall giant tree, one or two shelters can be carved out using magical tools. It can prevent sneak attacks by monsters and is also dry and comfortable. Isn't it a good place to camp?" You Edao.

"That's great, you two can do it!" Zhou Yang's eyes lit up.

"Yes." Each of the You brothers found a giant tree, flew more than ten feet high, took out the best magic weapon, and got busy.

Sawdust fell like rain, and before long they had created two large tree holes, each of which could accommodate seven or eight people.

"Sir, what do you think?" You Chi asked Zhou Yang to take a look.

"It's just a temporary residence, as long as it can accommodate you." Zhou Yang flew up with his sword and was very satisfied with the two tree holes.

At this time, Qi Sihai, Qi Jiang, and Qi He also flew up with little Qimei in their arms, leaving only the lonely Xi Danjin.

She had only a short time to break through to the realm of Tianyuan, she could not fly with a weapon yet, and she could not jump so high with her vertical leap. She was alone and looked a bit desolate.

Zhou Yang sighed, his sword descended, and then his magic power turned into a big hand, wrapped around Xi Danjin's slender waist, and lifted it up.

Xi Danjin was startled for a moment, then his pretty face turned slightly red.

Men and women were not close to each other. Although the big hands were condensed with magic power, she still felt a little unnatural.

It rained suddenly that night, with lightning and thunder, and the violent storm lasted for three days and three nights.

Three days later, there was a vast expanse of ocean under the trees. The original river channel had become several times wider. The grass on both sides of the river banks had also been submerged. The rainforest had become a swamp.

If you want to leave, you have to take a raft, but the previous raft has long since disappeared.

Qijiang Qihe and the You brothers first jumped off the giant tree and prepared to rebuild the raft.

Zhou Yang didn't want to stay in the tree hole, so he jumped down with the four of them.

"Be careful, fly up quickly!"

Suddenly, Qi Sihai in the tree hole shouted, startling the four people who had just landed on the water. They hurriedly jumped up again, each hanging their flying swords at their feet.

Qi Sihai's reminder was timely. As soon as the flying sword left the water, patches of white spots suddenly appeared on the water, like white rice scattered in the river, everywhere.

Those white spots instantly enlarged, forming a huge fish-shaped round mouth, with two rows of sharp teeth exposed in the huge mouth.

Countless huge mouths suddenly opened and closed, not eating four people, but blowing a lot of bubbles, which looked really beautiful.

Zhou Yang and the four others were shocked and broke into a cold sweat. They tried their best to control the flying swords upward, for fear of being swallowed by those huge mouths.

"It's a water ant beast!" Qi Sihai took a breath of air and his face changed wildly.

"Water ant beast! What is this?" Zhou Yang dropped his figure into the hole and asked in surprise.

"A kind of insect beast in the swamp. It feeds on rotten grass, leaves and corpses of monsters. Wherever it goes, there is no grass growing on the water." Qi Sihai's brows knitted together.

"Swamp? Isn't this place not far from the swamp?"

"It should still be some distance away. It's probably due to the heavy rain. The water rushed over the water ant beasts in the swamp. It's a bit troublesome. The river below is full of these things." Qi Sihai looked solemn.

At this time, the water surface returned to calm, as if nothing had happened, and the river water was very clear, with not even a trace of weeds on the river surface.

This is very abnormal. After three days and three nights of violent storms, the water should not be clear. At least there should be sediment and dead grass.
