Tian Xiaoding went up the mountain to look for spiritual plants and found a huge dead white maple tree covered with yellow-topped maple mushrooms. This kind of mushroom is one of the main ingredients for refining low-grade Huiyuan Dan. Collect some more and bring them back to the sect, so they can be used for making amends.
However, even though it is a low-level spiritual plant, there is also a low-level monster watching over it.
The guardian monster of these yellow-topped maple mushrooms is a bug. Xiao Ding didn't take the bug seriously at all, but as soon as the two sides fought, Xiao Ding hit the bug with a mace, but the bug was unharmed.
This made Xiao Ding have to be alert.
That bug is called the Mushroom Centipede, and it likes to eat fungi the most. It is now a first-level monster, equivalent to the third level of human Qi training.
After Xiao Ding smashed it away with an iron hammer, it was unharmed. It arched its body again and shot towards Xiao Ding. It opened its big mouth and was about to bite Xiao Ding's neck.
Its mouth was full of sharp teeth. Xiao Ding didn't dare to be careless, so he still swung the mace and smashed it away.
The mushroom centipede missed two hits, and suddenly gathered its demon power and screamed, the sound was sharp and harsh. When Xiao Ding heard the sound, he immediately felt dizzy and had hallucinations in front of his eyes, as if he had been in the whirlpool of the sea. .
He knew in his heart that this must be the native skill of the mushroom-gnawing centipede. So he immediately used the Qingxin Technique, and the illusion in front of him disappeared instantly, and the feeling of dizziness and brain swelling was relieved a lot.
When he saw the real scene in front of him clearly, he suddenly saw that the mushroom-gnawing centipede was less than a foot away from his neck.
This was obviously a sneak attack while he was hallucinating!
Xiao Ding had no time to think or dodge, so he had to quickly use his diamond skills to withstand the blow.
Fortunately, the monster's level was low and could not break Xiao Ding's Diamond Technique.
The insect's teeth bit Xiao Ding's neck, leaving only a few white marks on the skin and not hurting Xiao Ding.
The small one grabbed the tail of the insect's body and threw it out.
The Mushroom Centipede had just used its natal skill once and could not use it continuously, so it had to arch its body again and prepare to attack Xiao Ding.
Xiao Ding is not going to let it get the upper hand this time.
Before the insect could attack, Xiao Ding put away his mace, used his hands instead, and used his spiritual power to condense a goose egg-sized fireball and shoot it at the mushroom centipede.
Since normal attacks cannot harm bugs, use magic attacks instead.
This time, the insect didn't dare to fight hard. It bowed and jumped to the side.
When Xiao Ding saw that the bug was afraid of fire, he immediately became happy, and then he fired fireballs one after another.
Make the bug jump around and dodge in all directions.
It seems that insects are afraid of fire because of their nature.
However, Xiao Ding's fire control skill can only be regarded as a small success at present. It is very difficult to fire fireballs continuously. There is still a long way to fire fireballs quickly. Therefore, because the speed of firing fireballs is not fast enough, after each fireball is fired, The bug will have enough time to dodge.
Xiao Ding spent a lot of spiritual power, but still couldn't hit the mushroom centipede.
So, Xiao Ding once again thought of his other method - the talisman.
If you want to block the escape route of insects, you can only use talismans to block it. If it has no way to hide, you can naturally burn it with fireballs.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ding immediately took out eight flame talismans from the space and threw them directly in eight directions around the mushroom centipede. At the same time, he also condensed a fireball with both hands and shot it at the insect.
As the command "Kill!" was spoken, eight flame symbols burned into flames in eight directions around the insect's position at the same time, blocking any direction in which the insect could escape. At the same time, the fireball from his hand also hit the insect's body.
The mushroom centipede instinctively ducked to the side, but happened to hit the flames released by the flame talisman next to it, and was instantly enveloped in flames.
It was in unbearable pain and screamed loudly again, this time even louder than the last time.
Xiao Ding felt as if his ears had been pricked by needles. He became dizzy again, and at the same time, an illusion appeared in front of his eyes. This time, he felt as if he was not in the whirlpool of the sea, but as if he was being swept up in the air by a tornado.
This feeling was really uncomfortable, I felt extremely dizzy and felt like I was going to vomit. Xiao Ding quickly used the Qingxin Technique again. This time, he performed the mind-clearing technique for two or three weeks before his symptoms were relieved.
However, the mushroom-gnawing centipede had been burned by the flames and could no longer take the opportunity to attack Xiao Ding.
It didn't take long for the insect to be burned to death by the flames and turned into a black charcoal stick.
Xiao Ding was frightened and thought, if this last blow had not directly burned the mushroom centipede to death, he might be attacked by it again.
After waiting for all the flames to extinguish, Xiao Ding picked all the yellow-topped maple mushrooms growing on the white-grained maple tree, selected some of them that were big and good-looking, and put them into the jade pendant space, preparing to keep them. Keep it for your own use later. He put the remaining ones into his storage bag, intending to keep them and hand them over to the sect after he returned home.
Finally, he received this white-grained maple tree into his own world of Qiankun Pot. Fungi rely on spores to reproduce. Countless mycelium has been left by the maple fungus on the big white maple tree. As long as the temperature and humidity are suitable, the maple mushroom will grow again on the tree.
After collecting the yellow-topped maple mushrooms and white-grained maplewood, Xiaoding continued to climb towards the top of the mountain.
Not to mention, there are quite a lot of spiritual plants on this mountain, most of which are blue and yellow low-level spiritual plants. Some of them are guarded by monsters, and they are basically first-level monsters. Xiao Ding can easily kill them or drive them away, and then collect spiritual plants. Some spiritual plants were not even protected by monsters, so Xiao Ding directly collected the spiritual plants and put them in the storage bag.
These low-level spiritual plants are used to refine ordinary low-level elixirs, and they can be brought back to the sect for communication.
At the same time, he also transplanted a small part of each spiritual plant with its roots into the Qiankun Pot, and kept it in the world inside the pot. If he needs it at any time, it is very convenient to go in and pick it, and it also saves him from having to bury the soul in the future. Ran away in the mountains.
Along the way, Xiao Ding's harvest was not small. He collected a total of more than ten low-level spiritual plants, which he put into his storage bag.
However, along the way, he did not find any red-grade spiritual plants, not even a single purple spiritual plant.
When it was getting dark, Xiao Ding came to the top of the mountain.
This mountain has dense vegetation and dense birds and animals from the foot of the mountain to the slope.
But when he arrived near the top of the mountain, Xiao Ding discovered that the top of the mountain was completely bare as far as the eye could see.
With full of doubts, Xiao Ding climbed to the top of the mountain and suddenly discovered that there was a huge cave on the top of the mountain, going straight up and down into the mountain. Like a volcano crater.
Xiao Ding came to the edge of the cave, bent down and looked down the cave. He saw that it was dark inside and could not see anything clearly. He turned on his spiritual consciousness and explored the inside of the cave. Suddenly, he discovered that there was a flaming red stone hanging in mid-air inside the cave.
What is this thing, and why is it suspended in mid-air inside the cave?
Xiao Ding was puzzled.
While he was hesitating, a voice suddenly seemed to appear in his mind:
"Come down quickly, there is treasure in here!"
"Come down quickly, there is treasure in here!"
"Come down quickly, there is treasure in here!"
"..."
The sounds were the same words, passed into Xiao Ding's mind over and over again, but not in his ears.
This makes Xiao Ding even more strange.
Could this be my inner voice?
Although he was very curious, when Xiao Ding saw that it was getting late, he made up his mind to wait until tonight anyway.
So, he went to the hillside and randomly killed a small beast. He returned to the open space on the top of the mountain, lit a fire, roasted the meat and ate it. By the way, he also took a sip of the monkey wine he got in the green wood and purple fruit forest. Sweet and mellow.
After only taking a small sip, Xiao Ding already felt a little tipsy with his drinking capacity. He didn't dare to drink more. After all, the top of the mountain might not be a safe place.
After dinner, he still set up a small phantom array next to the cave on the top of the mountain, then took out the tent in the space and pitched it in the center of the phantom array, preparing to spend the night here tonight.
When I was sleeping at night, because of the phantom formation, there were no wild beasts to harass me. However, Xiao Ding did not sleep peacefully.
There was always a voice in his mind calling him, asking him to enter the cave quickly, saying that there were endless treasures in the cave.
At the same time, Xiao Ding also had a dream. He dreamed that he really jumped into the cave, and then got the red stone suspended in mid-air. Although he did not know what treasure the stone was, he also You can guess that this stone is certainly unusual.
Then he also dreamed that he fell to the bottom of the cave. At the bottom of the cave, he found a large number of magic weapons and magic weapons, and even some high-level magic weapons and spiritual treasures, which were not the kind that he could use at this stage.
Now he was so prosperous that Xiao Ding was so happy that he actually woke up laughing in his dream.
When he opened his eyes, it was already broad daylight.
At this time, it was already the fourth day that he entered the Qinggu Secret Realm.
The Qinggu Secret Realm will be open for a total of seven days. On the early morning of the eighth day, the people in the secret realm will be automatically cleared out, regardless of whether they have left the secret realm or not.
After Xiao Ding got up, he briefly freshened up, ate some leftover barbecue from last night, and then removed the phantom formation flag. Looking up at the sun in the sky, I felt that the sun in this secret realm was even warmer than the one outside.
No wonder the four seasons in this secret realm are like spring. This may be another world, just connected to the Tiankun Star Continent. Xiao Ding made random guesses in his mind.
He lowered his head and looked inside the cave on the top of the mountain again. It was still dark inside and nothing could be seen clearly.
And he used his spiritual consciousness to explore downwards. Unfortunately, his spiritual consciousness was limited and he could only explore half of the distance. He found that the red stone suspended in the cave still existed, but he still didn't know what was going on at the bottom of the cave. Nothing.
Could there really be treasure in the cave?
Xiao Ding was thinking wildly when the voice in his head sounded again:
"Come down quickly, there is treasure in here!"
