This time entering the Thousand Needles Pine Forest alone, Qian Chao realized something deeply, that is, the more dangerous the place, the more good things there are.
After getting a dark cloud grass, Qian Chao continued to head towards the center of the Thousand Needles Pine Forest. Now he no longer had to focus on only one spiritual vein to move forward, but could follow the rare spiritual grass he found and focus on his progress at the same time. The speed of several different spiritual veins in the direction has naturally accelerated a lot. Not only can he always gain something along the way, but he has also determined the tracks of several spiritual veins on the map within the Thousand Needles Pine Forest.
Shortly after noon, Qian Chao, who was walking forward, was attracted by a faint sweet smell in his nose. He had had a similar experience before, and that was when they had just reached the fourth level of Qi Refining. In a place called Pipa Ridge, Tang Ping found a cluster of cloud pearl fruits based on the sweet scent she smelled. It was a good thing for brewing spiritual wine. Now Qian Chao smelled something similar in the Thousand Needles Pine Forest. The sweet smell made his heart move. Although he knew nothing about the art of brewing, this smell probably indicated that there were fruits nearby that could be used to brew spiritual wine. Judging from the sweet smell, it should still be rare. If you find the fruit and bring it out to make wine for Tang Ping, all five people will benefit. Qian Chao was moved and stopped to identify the direction, confirming the direction from which the sweet smell came, and then looked for it.
Following the sweet smell, Qian Chao walked a certain distance and soon found the source of the smell in the dense pine forest.
In the pine forest, there is a low bush showing a strange fiery red color, like a flame. The closer Qian Chao gets there, the sweeter the scent becomes, and the closer he gets, Qian Chao discovered that the branches and leaves of this low, unknown tree were all a rare bright red. Then he saw that the bright red branches and leaves were filled with strings of chess piece-sized, plump and bright red trees. The fruit, this rich and sweet smell is exuded from the bunches of red berries.
This thing is called a red nut, and the bush on which this fruit grows is called a red branch.
Although Qian Chao had gained a lot of knowledge about spiritual herbs before going out, he still couldn't recognize the red berries when he saw them. This chess piece-sized berry has a sweet taste, but it cannot be used to refine elixirs or prepare elixirs. For Yanxuan, this fruit is of no use. Not only is it useless, the red bead fruit itself is also toxic. It is also highly poisonous, but for Tang Ping, this red berry is a rare good thing. As long as the method is right, not only can its toxicity be eliminated, but this ruddy berry can also be used to brew a high-quality spiritual drink. Wine, let me say one more thing here, red pearl fruit is also grown in Tang Bonian's spiritual orchard, but it is precisely because of its toxicity that Tang Bonian has always kept a close eye on it, even if Tang Ping sometimes sneaks into him. Even if you steal some fruits from the Ling Orchard to make wine, you will never be able to get the red pearl berries inside.
When he saw the red pearl fruit, Qian Chao was not sure whether it was poisonous. According to his temperament, he wanted to pick one and taste it first. However, the night before entering the Thousand Needle Pine Forest, Tang Ping had repeatedly warned After the money trend, it is best not to eat many of the fruits used by monks to brew spiritual wine directly. The fruits used to brew low-level spiritual wine are basically non-toxic, but the fruits used to brew high-level spiritual wine are not. The color of such fruits will The brighter they are, the more sweet they taste, but many of them are toxic, and the higher the grade, the more toxic they are. Tang Ping thought that there must be a lot of high-level spiritual grass in the Thousand Needles Pine Forest, and the fruits for brewing high-level spiritual wine would most likely be found there. She could recognize those fruits, but Qian Chao might not, so she Remind him very carefully. In addition, the closer Qian Chao got to the cluster of red pearl fruits, the more intense the sweet smell became. By the time he came close to the red pearl fruits, the smell exuded by the fruit was already so sweet that it made him sick. , went straight to Qian Chao's brain, which made him start to be careful, and then he remembered Tang Ping's warning, and then he restrained himself from picking one and put it into his mouth.
With the experience of picking dark cloud grass, Qian Chao arranged his spirit locking array around this bright red low bush as the center, and the area was wider than the last time, so that he could feel more at ease. .
Before picking the red pearl fruit, Qian Chao first took out a pair of gloves and put them on his hands. This was given to him by Tang Ping. The gloves were made of leather. It was made of the leather of an unknown monster. It was very light, soft and comfortable to wear. It doesn't affect his movements at all. When Tang Ping gave him the gloves, he said that the more beautiful the fruit, the more toxic it may be. You may not need to eat it. You may be poisoned if you touch it with your hands when picking. So if When you encounter a very beautiful fruit and Qian Chao wants to pick it, you'd better wear it.
After everything was ready, Qian Chao reached out and picked out a red red fruit from a red branch. He looked at it carefully before his eyes, then brought it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it before putting it into the cup given by Tang Ping. In a black wooden box.
After about a cup of tea, half of the exquisite black wooden box in Qian Chao's hand was filled with red pearl fruits. During this process, the surroundings were quiet. Qian Chao was picking and looking around. He always felt that The berries in front of him were unusual. They should be guarded by some monster. Just when most of the red berries had entered his wooden box, there was finally movement nearby.
There were waves of tremors coming from the ground beneath my feet through a thick layer of pine needles and fallen leaves. Immediately, there was the sound of falling snow in the pine forest. I don’t know how many needles fell from the branches because of this tremor. Many of them fell. The needles were still falling on Qian Chao's shoulders in the wind. As he stretched out his hand, a bunch of bright berries in front of his fingertips began to tremble from side to side.
This tremor should come from deep underground. Qian Chao no longer cared about the upcoming encounter. Although Li Jian didn't feel it, when the tremor came, Qian Chao was sure that he was still under his feet at the first moment. It was considered safe. Even if the guy who caused this ground tremor broke out of the ground, he would still be at his side. Presumably, that guy was not willing to destroy this red fruit.
Firstly, Qianchao already had experience, and secondly, he was well prepared, so even though his feet were shaking, he calmly looked sideways at the movement while reaching out to continue picking fruits from the trees.
The tremors stopped soon, but the feeling on the soles of Qian Chao's feet told him that there seemed to be something huge swimming underground. It had come to a position not far from Qian Chao's feet and was dormant. After the tremors disappeared, something nearby entered for a moment. In a strange calm.
But the calm was soon broken. There was a sudden violent vibration and a loud rumbling sound. Several tall pine trees as thick as buckets growing on one side of Qian Chao were instantly lifted up by the huge force from the ground. The roots and trunks of the trees, together with the lush crowns, rolled upwards and flew upwards. Under these pine trees, it was like a huge wave of sand rising from the ground. When Qian Chao looked at it, it was this huge wave of sand that had the strongest momentum. At that time, under the cover of a piece of sand, he could vaguely see a thick black shadow going straight upward, and then the sand and stones began to pour down like falling rain. In order to protect the cluster of red pearl fruits in front of him, Qian Chao also He placed two large shields side by side on top of the red branches, and hid in himself. There was a constant banging sound above his head. Fortunately, the strings of round, bright red red bead fruits under the large shields were unharmed.
When the monster in the mud rushed out of the ground, there seemed to be a rapid and harsh roar, but it stopped abruptly. The reason is very simple. When underground, this guy was not affected by the Qianchao Formation, but As it rushed out of the ground and entered the range of the spirit locking formation, the spiritual energy was completely extracted at once. The roar ended as soon as it started. Not only that, even this guy rose into the sky. The momentum immediately disappeared, and the thick and round body fell down from the flying sand because of the loss of spiritual energy.
With a loud "boom", the monster's figure hit the ground heavily. At this time, the falling soil and gravel still prevented Qian Chao from seeing the guy's true face.
Qian Chao glanced at it. With the formation there, he naturally felt that the guy should have no resistance left. At this time, the sand was falling like rain. He looked at the few remaining bright red fruits and continued to pick them.
After carefully putting the last red berry into the wooden box, fastening the lid and putting it into the storage bag, the nearby earth and rocks stirred up by the monster were almost gone. The shield accumulated a thick layer, and the guy's body was almost completely covered by the fallen branches, leaves, earth and rocks. Qian Chao thought that this guy should be another harvest for him, so he walked towards the monster's big head. Prepare to kill it and put it in the storage bag.
However, at this time, the monster's head was completely buried and obscured by earth and rocks falling from the sky. Qian Chao couldn't see clearly what this guy looked like even if he got closer. He only felt that this thing looked like a giant snake or a strange dragon without claws. Generally speaking, this gave Qian Chao some familiar feelings. He stopped and looked carefully. The thing's round body of more than ten feet fell to the ground like a giant tree that only six or seven people could hug. The rest of the body was still there. There is no drilling out of the ground, which is a troublesome thing.
The harder it was to see clearly, the more curious Qian Chao became. He reached up to the thing's head and simply stretched out his hand to clean up the broken branches, earth and rocks covering it, and then he recognized the monster in front of him!
Half-covered by the soil, this beast has a ferocious and ugly face. Not only is its head covered with thick black scales, it is also uneven and full of rugged protrusions as sharp as needles. The most eye-catching thing is that there is a stick close to the center of its forehead. The two-foot sharp horn was thicker than Qian Chao's legs and feet. When he saw this, Qian Chao had already vaguely recognized this guy. He suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and used his hands to push away the sand, earth and rocks near its eyes. Then he suddenly found a giant hourglass-like one. Qian Chao's black and yellow eyes were staring at him. Qian Chao was almost shocked and took two steps back. Then he calmed down, took a deep breath, and found another thing on the back of this guy's head that extended to his back. A black dorsal fin as sharp as a jagged blade sank into the ground along this guy's body.
This is...Baliu?
To be precise, this guy is a willow beast. As early as when Qian Chao and others had just broken through the fifth level of Qi refining, the five of them met him when they passed by a place called Zheliushan on their way to Ruixuan Town for the first time. I have been to the Willow Beast. The experience was very thrilling. Five people worked together to barely suppress the guy. But just when everyone thought they could breathe a sigh of relief, Li Jian suddenly warned that there were seven more almost identical monsters. They were coming towards the place where the five people were. As soon as Li Jian finished speaking, several people noticed the dangerous danger coming from the distance at the same time. It was indeed a scene of broken mountains and destroyed trees, just like a few streaks of earth. Dragon-like beasts swarmed toward them, and the situation scared several people away. Later, Tang Ping told them that the monster was named Liu Beast. The one they encountered at that time only had eight heads, so it should be called Eight Willows. , although several more appeared later, they were actually a monster. Its body only lurked underground, and its eight heads protruded from the ground to hunt for blood. From the ground, it could only be seen like a giant snake. The ordinary head and the body of a strange dragon are truly astonishing. Moreover, Tang Ping also told several friends at that time that the Eight Willows were definitely not something they could deal with. They were just lucky at that time. If all eight heads were collected, the five of them would never be able to escape, and if that guy could live longer, he would be able to regenerate. If the ninth head appears, it will be renamed Jiuliu, and then the elders in the sect can only deal with it.
Now, the huge guy in front of Qian Chao is actually just a head of the willow beast.
Qian Chao didn't know whether the guy in front of him was the Eight Willows or the Nine Willows, but he knew that he must have shocked the other heads of this guy now.
At this moment, rumbling sounds came from different directions in the distance, and Qian Chao's feet began to tremble violently again!
