Just as Tang Ping said, after the five people left the Yunzhu Fruit where the two monsters were hidden, they continued to search in the Pipa Ridge, and the harvest was not small.
The first is the spiritual grass. I don’t know whether Pipa Ridge is more suitable for the growth of spiritual grass or whether monks from the sect rarely come here. Although only Yanxuan among the five can skillfully identify the spiritual grass, after leaving the Yunzhu Fruit, , Yanxuan frequently discovered good-quality spiritual herbs here. At first, she was beaming with joy, but later she became accustomed to it. Many of the spiritual herbs picked were of higher quality, which Yanxuan still uses in alchemy. No, but since you have seen it, you should take it back. Even if you don’t use it now, you can use it in the future.
Then there are the monsters. Since the five people have found a lot of spiritual grass, and the quality is often good, it is inevitable to find monsters nearby. This is what makes Lu Pingchuan happy. You will never see those elsewhere here. The worst monsters that are not high-grade monsters that they encounter are the ones that are low-grade and capable of fighting. Everyone also discovered that in this Pipa Ridge, the lower-grade monsters are often born in groups. , although a single one is inconspicuous, but a large group of them still needs to be handled with a bit of caution.
Whenever Lu Pingchuan saw a monster, he would rush ahead. When he encountered a difficult Li Jian, he would step forward to help.
What frightened a few people the most was the encounter with a group of ferocious monster insects. Those monster insects were like scorpions, crawling all over the ground, but their size was much larger. Usually, it was as big as a futon used by a monk to meditate. If it were a That's all, those demonic insects surged over like a black tide.
At that time, Yanxuan discovered a few quite good spiritual herbs. He was so excited that he went over to pick them, but was stopped by Li Jian. In Li Jian's perception, the dangers around those spiritual herbs were not at all greater than those around them. Yunzhu fruit is so bad.
However, the temptation of the spiritual grass was really great. Everyone saw the look of reluctance on Yanxuan's face. Although they didn't know what the spiritual grass was, they could guess that it was definitely a special grade. Since they encountered it, they couldn't even know the details. If he wasn't sure, he left, so he prepared to test out what dangers there were nearby just like he did in Yunzhuguo before. Li Jian was the first to go down with his sword.
As soon as he landed next to the spiritual grass, it was like a drop of water falling into a hot oil pan. The surrounding land immediately started churning, and countless monsters like giant scorpions were seen breaking through the soil covering the entrance of the cave. After getting out of the hole, the densely packed cave entrance was centered on these spiritual grasses. Soon a black water-like monster insect surrounded Li Jian in the middle. Even so, there were still countless monster insects in the cave. Strutting out, the demonic insects that surrounded Li Jian were already nearly half a man tall in layers, eager to try.
This scene frightened several people, especially Yanxuan, who was even more frightened to the point of turning pale. She knew that it would have been unthinkable if she had gone over there rashly just now.
Although there were many demonic insects, Li Jian was not afraid. As early as those demonic insects emerged from the ground, the green bamboo spirit sword in his hand drew a big circle on the ground around the spiritual grass with a bright white light. When the demonic insects surrounded them, , although there were too many to count, one layer after another, they all confronted him with the circle drawn by Li Jian as the boundary, and they did not dare to cross the circle and rush towards Li Jian.
Tang Ping could see it clearly. While she admired Li Jian's methods, she was worried about Li Jian at the same time. At this time, she had recognized the kind of monsters. The monsters surrounding Li Jian were called ghost tigers, and they were actually very powerful. Big scorpions, these big scorpions live in groups in caves, there must be a huge nest for them under this land, and... Thinking of this, Tang Ping looked at the futon-sized scorpions that were everywhere... The more and more scorpions were in this underground nest. The powerful scorpion lives further downwards. Although the land on the ground looks scary, the real danger is actually lurking underground.
It's better to let Brother Li fly back quickly, otherwise if a powerful guy from underground crawls out, it may be really difficult for five people to deal with it. This Netherland Tiger is also extremely poisonous!
Just as she was about to call Li Jian back, Qian Chao beside her spoke, but it was Yanxuan who asked.
"Sister Yan, how long will it take to pick the spiritual herbs below?"
"This..." Yanxuan was a little confused. It was just a few spiritual grasses. It wouldn't take long to pick them. All he had to do was pick them first and find a safe place to take care of them carefully. However, his daughter's family was born with those snakes. There was a fear of insects and rats, not to mention these densely packed, ferocious and poisonous ones in front of him. However, Yanxuan still hoped to take those few spiritual grasses back, so he gritted his teeth and said, "As long as the roots are not hurt, it is simple." A little, a moment is enough.”
Qian Chao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give it a try. If the bugs down there retreat, Sister Yan, you can seize the opportunity and pick them right away."
"OK."
…
Qian Chao floated down, and when he approached Li Jian, he said, "Brother Li, protect your ears."
Only then did he think of the frightening drum he had made. The book Ma Hu gave him said that this drum could restrain a lot of demonic insects, so he wanted to try it today. He had made this kind of drum before. Two, one was given to Ma Hu, and the other was kept with him. Although the beating of the drum had little effect on the monks, it was still better to be safe.
Although Li Jian didn't know what Qian Chao meant, he still followed his words and covered his ears with his hands.
There was a soft "dong" sound. Even if Li Jian covered his ears, he could hear it. He felt that the drum sound had no impact on him. However, when the drum sound came, those densely packed underworld tigers surrounded him. But it was unbearable. The swarm of ghost tiger insects that were about half a man high and surrounded Li Jian suddenly collapsed amidst the gentle drumming. Even if they dispersed, not one of them dared to run to where Li Jian was. They came into the drawn circle, and each of them fled toward the drilled hole with a desperate chirp. Once they reached the entrance of the hole, they never dared to get out again. Many of them were squeezed by a few ghost tigers because the hole was small. It looked like a black hillock at the entrance of the hole.
Li Jian, who was standing below, was the most surprised. He really didn't expect that Brother Qian took out a small drum and knocked it lightly, which scared the monster insects and fled in all directions. When he was surprised, a red shadow fell from above. It was Yanxuan. , she was so surprised to see this that she didn't wait for Qian Chao to signal her, and immediately came over to pick the few spiritual herbs that attracted her attention.
Tang Ping also fell down from above and said: "Sister Yan, hurry up, there are more powerful ones underground. The little one has run away, and the big one is about to come out."
Lu Pingchuan, Tang Ping and Li Jian surrounded Yan Xuan who was picking spiritual herbs to protect her, while Qian Chao still held the drum hanging above the four of them.
Tang Ping was indeed right. There were still nearly half of the Underworld Tigers on the ground trying to crawl into the hole, and when Yanxuan only picked one spiritual grass, the four people standing on the ground all noticed the underground transmission. The vibrations coming from below were getting closer and closer to the ground, making the three people on guard more nervous, and also made Yanxuan's hands move faster.
Qian Chao also noticed this abnormality. In order to guard against the guy underground, he got out of Yan Xuan. Qian Chao flicked his finger above Yan Xuan's head again, making a "thud" sound.
He had seen Li Jian's situation before and knew that the sound of the drum had no impact on the monks, so he dared to do this.
After the sound of drums, those ghost tigers on the ground who had not yet had time to get into the holes seemed to go crazy. They didn’t care about getting into the holes anymore, and actually scattered and fled far away. At the same time, they made their voices heard The vibration in the underground seemed to have stopped suddenly, but then it became more violent. In Li Jian's sense, the guys from the underground were shocked by the second drum sound, and many guys immediately hunkered down and did not dare to There was no move, but some of the more powerful guys who were fearless of the drums were alerted.
The ground was shaking slightly. There were three spiritual grasses growing together. One of them had already been picked. Yanxuan also knew that it was urgent. Seeing that the remaining two plants were growing almost next to each other, she suddenly figured out in her panic. The medicine shovel took out a large lump of soil with the roots of the two spiritual grasses. Now the two spiritual grasses can be taken away. It is better to leave first and then clean up carefully. Therefore, the large lump of soil can be taken away. When Yanxuan took away Tu Lian and the two spiritual herbs, she shouted: "Okay!"
The four people on the ground immediately stood up.
Almost at the same time, there was a loud "rumbling" sound on the ground, and large clumps of soil were blown away by the force rushing up from the ground. Several black shadows in the mud faced the four people who had just risen. Comes lasing.
Almost at the same time, the drum in Qian Chao's hand was beaten again. When he was on alert just now, Qian Chao was holding the drum with his left hand. The vibration from the ground let him know that the real danger was coming, so his Before striking, his right hand performed several tricks, and finally clasped his index finger with his thumb. At this time, his right index finger was already sparkling with energy. When the earth and rocks started to collapse, he moved his right thumb, and the clasped index finger flicked on the ground. On the drum surface.
There was a "dong" sound. Different from the previous two knocks, this time an abnormal spiritual power wave spread rapidly along with the sound of the drum.
The few black shadows shooting in the flying sand were shaken by the sound of the drum, and they immediately stagnated a lot.
However, Qian Chao's face turned pale this time after knocking, and his body's aura showed faint signs of instability. Lu Pingchuan noticed it, pulled Qian Chao and flew upwards.
Li Jianfei was at the end, as he had been in the past, and he took the rear. Therefore, one of the black shadows was almost in front of him. If it were not delayed by the sound of the drum, Li Jianfei would have almost dodged to avoid being stabbed by the thing. Now that the thing was blocked by the sound of the drum, Li Jian didn't even think about it. With a wave of his right hand, streaks of white light flashed through and the incoming thing was chopped open with a "click".
So tenacious. After cutting the thing open, Li Jian felt a slight numbness in the tiger's mouth of his right hand. He didn't expect that the thing's counterattack was so powerful!
After many close calls, several people finally flew high into the sky.
"How are you?" Tang Ping couldn't help but asked worriedly when she saw Qian Chao's face.
"It's okay. It's just that the last burst of energy consumed a lot. I'll just find a place to rest later." Qian Chao's complexion looked a little better at this time.
"What a big scorpion!" Lu Pingchuan shouted next to him.
Several people looked down, and sure enough, where the few people were standing, there were seven or eight large black scorpions as big as a square table, raising their heads, as if they were very angry that these people could escape. Two large scorpions. The scissors were being cut randomly, and there were bursts of ear-piercing strange screams coming from the mouth. The long tail that was tilted up was nearly two stories high, and the poisonous hooks on it were shining with cold light. It seemed that it was the first to attack a few people. The black shadows are the poisonous tails of those great terrestrial tigers.
It's just that one of these giant scorpions looked extremely irritable and unwilling, and the end of its long tail was straight and bare. It was it that was hit by Li Jian's sword in the end, and its tail was struck by Li Jian. Cut off.
These huge underworld tigers made several people's scalps feel numb when they saw them, and they felt a little frightened when they thought about the risk they had just taken.
"Sister Yan, I see you are reluctant to leave after seeing the spiritual grass. What kind of good things are these plants?" Tang Ping asked.
"Of course it's a good thing," Yanxuan was also frightened for a while, but after getting the spiritual grass, her face flushed and she seemed very excited, "Do you still remember the roll of vines we got earlier?"
Naturally, I remembered that everyone except Lu Pingchuan knew the greatest use of the rolled vine flowers.
"Could it be..." Tang Ping was a little dazed.
"Rolling Vine Flower, Crimson Immortal Grass, Dark Lotus, Seven-Signed Angelica Angelica, and Coriander Grass are the main spiritual herbs used in refining the Foundation Establishment Pill. What we just got is Coriander Grass!"
After saying that, Yanxuan looked at the large ball of soil hanging next to her with great treasure. The two spiritual grasses on it were green and beautiful.
Several people suddenly stopped talking and stared at the lotus grass. They really didn't expect that the five main ingredients of the Foundation Establishment Pill had found two flavors after going out several times.
"It's worth it!" Li Jian said.
