In the next few days, they did this almost every day, being led by Qian Chao to find a place to pick spiritual herbs every day. Probably the spiritual herbs they received for the mission were not of rare varieties, so after a few days, they actually collected the spiritual herbs from the mission place. All the necessary spiritual herbs have been gathered.
Speaking of which, when picking these spiritual herbs for missions, the other suitable spiritual herbs that I picked up were actually more than the spiritual herbs needed for the missions, and the quality and age were much better than those in the Qixia Mountain Spiritual Grass Garden. This makes Yanxuan extremely happy.
In addition, when picking spiritual grass, they also encountered several low-level monsters that guarded the spiritual grass. However, the monsters they encountered later were far inferior to the two wind snakes they encountered before, or Li Jian or Lu Pingchuan could kill him alone. Li Jian was still very puzzled at that time, how could it be so simple? Only then did Tang Ping smile and say to him that this is what a monster outside the sect should look like.
After seeing the monster, Lu Pingchuan wanted to light a fire and roast it, but Qian Chao and Tang Ping stopped him. After all, they were outside the sect. If they were so ostentatious, they would attract the attention of the monks who came out. , if you don’t keep it all, there will be unnecessary trouble. Secondly, the smell of barbecue may also attract some powerful monsters to come and fight for it. If you want to roast it, let’s discuss it within the sect. Lu Pingchuan gave up after hearing this.
They also met monks from outside the sect a few times, but they all passed by in a hurry. Maybe there were many of them, so others didn't make any plans for them, or maybe they saw that their cultivation was low and they couldn't possibly have anything good. In short, they were all It's peace and quiet.
Originally, they should go back after finishing their mission. They had been out for six or seven days, but Tang Ping wanted to stay one more day. They were all out anyway, and they would go around the area tomorrow. Qian Chao still had a few places left. Go, you can go and have a look, it would be a good thing if you can get some spiritual herbs, and then go back. The other people nodded in agreement and made an appointment to return to the sect after noon tomorrow.
It was early in the morning again, and several people came out of the resting place. Qian Chao found the direction and set off with everyone.
However, the harvest of this day was not much, just a few sporadic spiritual grasses, but a few people didn't care. They walked around, enjoying the scenery or hunting for treasures, which was quite happy.
Near noon, the tide of money stopped Tang Ping, who was still about to climb over a mountain.
"We can't go any further that way."
"Why?"
"It's a bit dangerous for us over there. There are a lot more low- and mid-level monsters there."
Qian Chao showed Tang Ping the animal skin map in his hand.
"Oh, it's such a pity. The more dangerous or uncertain the place, the more good things there are. But let's forget it. Let's go there later."
After all, Tang Ping knew what was good and what was good. She knew that she had done enough homework before the money came out, so she didn't insist and was ready to go back.
But just when a few people turned around and were about to leave, the sudden series of beast roars from behind the mountain made several people turn around and look.
The distance was a bit too far, and Li Jian's sensing was not as good as it was.
However, a few people could tell that those roars were not made by one kind of monster. The roars were full of anger and threats. It seemed that different monsters were threatening and intimidating each other before fighting.
"Boy Qian, let's go over secretly and see how the monsters fight. We'll just watch from a distance, hide and watch the excitement, open our eyes, and run away if there's danger, right?"
This proposal made several people a little excited, especially Lu Pingchuan.
"Well, that's fine, but don't think that the fishermen will benefit. It's dangerous there, and there's no telling who will be the fishermen."
"Okay, got it."
After crossing the mountain ridge, the five people found the place where the roar of the beast came from, but found that things were far more complicated than they had previously thought.
Less than a hundred feet away from them was a grassland among the woods at the foot of the ridge. On the grassland, a monster beast that looked like a tiger but not a tiger, a leopard but not a leopard, with colorful textures and a strong body was patrolling the grass. Look at its pace. His mood seemed unusually vigilant.
More than ten feet above the grass, a young monk was suspended there. The monk's left and right hands were separated into gestures, and he was staring at the grass. His eyes did not follow the monster, but he seemed to be wary of any danger underground.
There are two people standing side by side on the edge of the grass. Judging from their backs, they are both young men. They are probably staring at the grass in front of them like the monk hanging in the air.
Unexpectedly, instead of monsters fighting each other here, three senior brothers from the sect are hunting monsters here. The one walking around on the grass must be a spiritual beast raised by one of them. They just don't know what kind of monster they want to hunt and where it is. Could it be underground?
"Isn't it bad for us to secretly look at others like this?" Yanxuan felt that this was a bit voyeuristic, so he whispered.
"What are you afraid of? It's more fun like this, and you can learn something. Besides, it's so far away, they can't find it." Tang Ping also replied in a low voice.
"No, they already know we are here." Li Jian said softly after hearing this.
"What... so far away!"
"Miss Tang, look at the two people standing. Behind them, there is a big snake coiled there. I don't know whose spiritual beast it is. Let's come here together, and the big snake pays attention to us. It keeps staring at it. The owner of the big snake must also know that we are here."
After hearing this, several people looked at where Li Jian was talking about, but Li Jian did not find the big snake with his eyesight, but with his senses. Similarly, the big snake they couldn't see also found the big snake with his senses. Someone lurked over quietly. Its tail had already been wrapped around the owner's ankle for a few times, and it told the owner everything it discovered.
Generally speaking, the senses of monsters and spiritual beasts are sharper than those of ordinary monks, so that they can hunt or escape in danger.
"So at least there are two spiritual brothers here, so it's okay. We don't have any ill intentions anyway. If they come to talk, I will deal with it." Tang Ping said in a low voice. The excitement was more exciting than she thought. , but now she can't turn around and leave.
"What is that big cat on the grass? I've never seen it before?" Lu Pingchuan ignored everything else. He was interested in the tiger-leopard-like guy walking around on the grass.
"That's a wild beast. If it opens its mouth, you'll see that its teeth are like knives."
As soon as Tang Ping finished speaking, something changed on the grass. The originally flat ground suddenly looked like waves on the water, and something like the dorsal fin of a big fish protruded from the ground. It was about three feet high and was like a blade. , shining with cold light, the soil was rolling, and it rushed towards the vigilant beast. It seemed that the monster underground wanted to use the sharpness of its dorsal fin to cut the beast into two pieces. .
"Lingyan beast!" Tang Ping exclaimed in a low voice as she recognized the underground monster beast from the dorsal fin that emerged from the ground.
The ferocious beast on the grass seemed to have been on guard for a long time. As soon as its hind legs exerted strength, it jumped to the side and avoided the blow.
Unexpectedly, before the beast jumped up and landed, there was a sudden explosion of earth where it was about to land, and an ugly and ferocious big head came out from under the earth, with a big mouth wide open. The mouth full of sharp and dense teeth bit the fallen beast.
There are two of them!
The beast twisted violently in shock, and narrowly escaped the almost fatal blow with its twisted body. Then it scratched the upper jaw of its big mouth with its front paws, and then used its strength to pounce forward. .
The Lingyan beast that made the sneak attack missed a hit, and instantly sank into the ground again without any movement. This solid ground was like water to it, and it could launch a sneak attack at will. It’s hard to guard against.
"Is this the kind of monster you said that swims in the land like a fish in the water?"
Yanxuan thought of the monsters that Tang Ping told him when he was in Youming Valley. At that time, he only heard about them as new news, but he didn't expect to see them with his own eyes today.
"Yes" Tang Ping replied.
"Someone is here, and it seems he is here to ask questions." Li Jian said softly.
Sure enough, one of the two people standing side by side on the edge of the grass turned around and came towards the bush where the five of them were hiding.
