With curiosity and awe of this forbidden land, Qian Chao began to move slowly. He was worried that he would miss the spiritual veins inside. He always paid attention to the jade plaque under his robe and moved forward cautiously. , but practice always makes perfect, and coupled with his natural love for speculation, Qian Chao gradually figured out some tricks in less than half a day.
The ordinary spiritual grass money tide in this Thousand Needle Pine Forest has been given up, because it is almost everywhere, and if you have to pick it when you see it, it will definitely waste a lot of time.
Of course, the common spiritual herbs mentioned here are only relative to those rare spiritual herbs. If you take out just one of the ordinary spiritual herbs in the Thousand Needles Pine Forest, they must be of good quality. Unfortunately, it is not the case this time. Tang Ping and the others could not be kept waiting outside for too long during ordinary outings, so Qian Chao now only focused on those rare spiritual herbs.
Qian Chao realized this after finding a few extremely rare spiritual herbs. After just picking a rare spiritual herb that was estimated to be sold for several thousand spiritual stones, Qian Chao looked back at the direction he came all the way. Although his vision was quickly blocked by the dense pine forest, he understood that from the last spiritual grass and even the previous spiritual grass to the position where he was picking the spiritual grass, the jade plaque on his chest had been all the way. It was warm against his chest without any change, which meant that the rare spiritual herbs he picked were all in the same spiritual vein running on the ground, and only if they were in the spiritual vein could they Breeding this rare spiritual grass.
In other words, by following the traces of these rare spiritual grasses, the direction of the spiritual veins can be determined.
Although this can only find those spiritual veins running on the ground, there are also spiritual veins traveling in the air and sneaking underground, and the spiritual veins running on the ground may also be somewhere or directly drilled into the ground, making it difficult to find traces or I don't know where I went directly upwards, but the key is that the so-called "Land of Heavenly Power" formed by the entanglement of spiritual veins is always on the ground. One of the main things Qian Chao wants to do when he comes in is to find Qingluan for Tang Ping. Eggs, and the big Qingluan will only lay its eggs in the "Land of Heaven's Power". Only in this way can the safety of the eggs be ensured after it leaves. In other words, Qian Chao only needs to concentrate on looking for Qingluan's eggs. Just explore the spiritual veins running on the ground.
As for the deal with Ah Jiu, it is entirely possible to determine whether the formation can be arranged based on the spiritual veins there after finding the Arrow Pig and the Xiaoxiao Bird.
After thinking about this, Qian Chao realized that he was a little too cumbersome and cautious before entering the Thousand Needle Pine Forest. This place is different from Shouwo Mountain. There is no circle of spiritual veins imprisoned by the formation as a barrier. There is no need to enter like this. It's like guarding Wo Mountain, and if you can't find the Green Luan's egg in this thousand-needle pine forest this time, you don't have to go to other forbidden places so much trouble. You just need to concentrate on finding out the distribution of spiritual veins in the forbidden places. However, there is no need to spend so much energy outside the forbidden area.
This was Qian Chao's important gain during the half day he entered Thousand Needles Pine Forest. After thinking about this, Qian Chao's speed was obviously much faster.
After focusing only on the spiritual veins on the ground, Qian Chao also discovered that in addition to the extremely rare spiritual grass growing along the spiritual veins, even the powerful mid-level monsters in the Thousand Needle Pine Forest also grew along the spiritual veins. Veins build nests.
On the first day of entering the Thousand Needles Pine Forest, Qian Chao's horizons were really opened and he gained a lot at the same time.
After learning the lesson from the osmanthus tree, Qian Chao was extra careful when he saw those rare spiritual grasses again. Before picking them, he would walk around a few times to see if he could find the monsters guarding the spiritual grasses. Of course, such actions are often It was all in vain. After all, he didn't have Li Jian's induction, so he had only one option left, which was to arrange a formation.
After encountering a spiritual grass named "Black Cloud Grass", before picking it, Qian Chao carefully arranged a large "Spirit Locking Array" around the Black Cloud Grass. Well, Qian Chao's current lock The spirit formation is very different from the one he used in the past. Not only does the formation cover a larger area and is more powerful, but the current spirit locking formation no longer uses spirit locking piles, but consists of more than a dozen spirit locking piles. A disc made of patterned iron is placed on the ground.
The dark cloud grass in front of him should be regarded as the best even in the eyes of the Danjie monks. If he takes it out and sells it, the spiritual stone in exchange for it may be worth the entire property of a small family. This kind of spiritual grass is used by Danjie monks. It is used to refine high-level elixirs, but it is almost useless to Qi refining monks. Qian Chao picked it just to grow it and use it for seeds. When this kind of spiritual grass is used in the future, it can be planted directly with the formation method. Can.
Just when Qian Chao started picking, and had just used a small hoe to take out the first piece of soil from the roots of the black cloud grass, suddenly as the ground trembled and shook, a huge roar came from the distance, and then a wave of The smelly wind swept over Qian Chao, who was squatting there at the time. When he noticed it, his face changed and he immediately turned his head and looked over.
A monster with four paws on the ground, as high as a house, as big as a black bear or a big wild boar, was shaking and roaring towards the direction of the dark cloud grass. The pine wood it hit on the road "clicked" It broke with a "click", sawdust, earth and rocks flew into the air, and the tree trunks and crowns were thrown out in circles. As the guy ran, the thick claws made the ground tremble every time he barefooted it, and the tremors became more and more frequent.
When it ran a little closer, Qian Chao realized that the guy looked very weird.
Without Tang Ping around, Qian Chao had no idea what kind of monster the guy was charging at, but it was probably difficult to identify it even if Tang Ping was around. The guy running towards him should have been covered with thick manes, but Now it looks like it is covered with a thick layer of dark gray and almost black stones that are closely packed together. It must be the pine oil that the guy rubbed all over in the thousand-needle pine forest. The pine oil has long solidified. It's dry, but before it solidified, this guy might have rolled somewhere, and his body was covered with a thick layer of small and large gravels, like armor. And I guess this guy must have done this repeatedly, and I don't know what the stones on it are. There are so many layers, which protect this monster like stone armor. It's possible that this guy is not as big as he looks. It's the heavy and thick stone armor that makes him look so big and menacing.
It was almost running towards Qian Chao. Qian Chao noticed that this guy was covered in thick stone armor, even on his head. Only on the forehead of his head, between the cracks in the stone, could he see two twinkling eyes flashing anxiously. Fierce little eyes.
Qian Chao had been searching nearby before. Maybe it was because this guy was lying still that Qian Chao mistook it as a pile of rubble and missed it. Now, Qian Chao's actions of picking black cloud grass probably alerted it.
Even though his legs were not long, this guy was running very fast. Qian Chao was stunned for a moment, and when he was thinking about whether to fly away, the guy had already stepped into Qian Chao's "Spirit Locking Formation". middle.
The Qian Chao of the Soul Locking Formation was deployed in a wide range. After the guy entered, his roar suddenly stopped, and his entire huge body collapsed almost instantly. All the spiritual energy in his body was drained away by the formation almost as soon as it entered. But because it was running with too much momentum and its body was too heavy, even if this guy had lost half of his strength at this time, the huge momentum still carried this guy's body rolling and bouncing on the ground, banging non-stop. He bumped into Qian Chao.
If they really hit it, not to mention that the Black Cloud Grass would be destroyed, even Qian Chao would be crushed by the huge body and his bones and tendons would be broken.
Qian Chao looked at the precious dark cloud grass in front of him and was really reluctant to part with it. Then two large black shields appeared on his side. The large shields did not directly block the monster's huge body, but diagonally blocked it. The ground was at an angle, and when the monster's huge figure flew over, it took advantage of the slope of the shield to pass directly over Qian Chao's head. Qian Chao was worried that the black cloud grass would be damaged, so he leaned slightly to protect the spiritual grass. Beneath him, he looked up at the same time as a black shadow rolled past his head and then fell heavily to the ground. With a bang, the ground shook violently and then became silent.
Fortunately, the guy didn't fall out of the range of the spirit locking formation. After landing, he rolled a few times and stopped moving.
Qian Chao breathed a sigh of relief and ignored the guy. He carefully took out the dark cloud grass and its underground root system. After putting it away, he felt relieved.
After doing this, Qian Chao came to the big guy and pressed and patted the thick layer of turpentine armor on it with his hands. He looked carefully and couldn't recognize what it was. What kind of monster is it? But it is estimated that this layer of stone armor is at least a foot thick. I secretly think that this guy is really strong. He can run like flying with such a heavy load.
When Li Jian kills a monster, he usually pierces the monster's eyes with his spirit sword. This not only kills the monster immediately but also leaves its leather unharmed. Qian Chao is also planning to do the same. When the gleaming spiritual sword hung in front of the monster's eyes, Qian Chao's heart suddenly moved and he turned back to carefully examine the stone armor on the monster's body.
Qian Chao leaned down and carefully groped and wiped the small and large stones that were tightly packed together and extremely strong on the monster's body. After appraising it over a cup of tea, Qian Chao finally took a breath and said to himself, "No wonder." , almost looked away.
This monster lying on the ground is undoubtedly an intermediate level. In order to protect itself, it used pine oil to stick stones all over its body. So what kind of opponent will it be wary of? It must be other mid-level monsters in the Thousand Needles Pine Forest. If this is the case, then the ordinary stones it covered with must be useless. Ordinary stones can't even withstand the spiritual sword of the Qi Refining Monk, so how can it defend against the mid-level monsters? As for the fangs and claws, all the stones in this layer of stone armor on its body must be extraordinary. Qian Chao wiped off the dust on a few stones, and even used a knife to scrape off a layer of solidified pine oil. After that, the stones slightly revealed their true colors. Some were crystal clear, some were green and white, and some were completely black. They all shone with strange light in the sunlight leaking between the branches and leaves above, which made Qian Chao stunned. Heartbeat.
Those are not ores, but gems that have only been heard from others or seen in books. They are all extremely hard and good things. Only such stones can withstand the tide. Withstand the attacks of other mid-level monsters with fangs and claws. Of course, such gems are extremely precious to Qian Chao. Although they should be materials used to refine magic weapons, getting them now is better than using them in the future. It’s much better to search everywhere!
In normal times, Qian Chao would definitely look for the rare gem that the monster found, but now he had more important things to do and could only give up.
The spirit sword made a "click" sound and pierced deeply into the eyes of this monster. In an instant, this guy was dead. When he put this guy into his storage bag, Qian Chao couldn't help but think: These thousand needles There are really good things everywhere in the stone forest!
