The excuse is treasure hunting.
Naturally, Chu Chen shouldn't be too perfunctory, as acting requires emotional involvement.
After riding the Mobao Lingma and successfully arriving at the Longling Mountains, Chu Chen really started his career of "hunting for treasures in the mountains".
The [Earth Talisman] was successfully refined a few days ago, but I haven't had time to hunt for treasures.
Chu Chen had long been feeling itchy.
He hung the [Earth Armor Talisman] made from the Leizhen jujube wood around his waist, kneaded the secrets and recited the incantation, and received the blessing of mana and true energy.
Not long after, a little boy about the same age and size as the little ghost appeared out of thin air.
The little treasure-hunting boy had just been sacrificed and refined. He lacked spirituality and looked dull and silly. He was far worse than the little ghost boy.
"Senior brother, it's so stupid~ It's not as good as your Internal Refining God General."
The little ghost communicated with it to no avail, and suddenly lost interest in playing with the treasure-hunting boy.
"I'm here to hunt for treasure, not to play with you."
Chu Chen took back the [Earth Talisman] from the treasure-hunting boy, and he walked slowly and quickly through the vast mountains with clouds forming under his feet.
Whenever a treasure is found within a radius of one mile, the treasure-hunting boy will show up to report it.
The little boy doesn't look very smart, but he is very effective in treasure hunting.
Not long after they left, a little treasure-hunting boy flew out of the [Earth Talisman] to guide Chu Chen and the little ghost boy.
"Brother, it's shipped!"
The little kid was so excited that he yelled.
It was also Chu Chen's first time to hunt for treasure, and he was inexplicably looking forward to it.
Taking three steps at a time, he followed the treasure-hunting boy and discovered a patch of wild angelica.
In this wild area of angelica, some of the angelica are nourished by the energy of heaven, earth, mountains and rivers, and have become genuine elixirs.
Chu Chen did some digging and harvested two Angelica sinensis plants that were effective for two years and one that was effective for five years.
The age and potency of this world do not refer to the length of growth of the herbs, but to the degree to which they are nourished by the spiritual energy of the heaven, earth, mountains and rivers.
"Good stuff, it nourishes blood and essence, and can be sold for a lot of money!"
Chu Chen was quite happy. He buried the remaining common angelica, or the angelica that had just been nourished by the energy of heaven, earth, mountains and rivers, with soil.
The kid also became more energetic: "Brother, how much are these worth?"
Chu Chen thought for a while: "It's worth about ten jade coins!"
The little kid tilted his head and thought for a moment: "That's ten sticks of incense. Wow, if you get rich, you can make hundreds or even countless sticks of incense in one night. I won't say that the treasure-hunting boy is stupid anymore. It’s pretty awesome.”
"Hahaha~ It's really awesome."
Chu Chen was quite happy.
It's a good start.
It is very rare to go into the mountains to hunt for treasures and find a large area of precious incense like Wang Ping and Xiucai did.
More people like him collect some magical herbs and elixirs.
If you're lucky, you can make hundreds of jade in one night.
Chu Chen has the help of a treasure-hunting boy, and the harvest is guaranteed. If he hunts for treasure every night, the profit will definitely be indispensable.
However, Chu Chen did not spend all his time on treasure hunting tonight. His main goal was to find the "Red Skull".
If you solve this case, you will gain far more than just hunting for treasure.
Along the way, Chu Chen headed straight for his destination.
Somewhere in the air, he sensed the fluctuations of his consciousness in the Ruyi Sword.
On the road, if there is treasure, just collect it.
If there is no harvest, he does not force it, never searches around, and pays attention to "just follow the circumstances".
Maybe it was his first treasure hunt and he was lucky. Even if Chu Chen didn't hunt for treasure carefully, he still gained a lot. He collected dozens of spiritual herbs and elixirs worth two to three hundred jade coins.
This harvest is quite generous and can be worth his monthly salary.
Not long after, Chu Chen arrived near the Ruyi Sword.
"Senior brother, there is a slight aura of disaster condensing above your head. There is a big demon threatening you nearby, so be careful."
The little devil came out at the right time to give Chu Chen a warning.
As we go deeper into Longling Mountain, it becomes more and more likely to encounter powerful demons, ghosts, and snake spirits.
Along the way, the little devil gave many warnings.
The kid didn't think it was anything, he just reminded his senior brother subconsciously.
But it was a surprise when it fell into Chu Chen's ears.
Big monster?
Will the big monster in the little devil's mouth be the "pink skull"?
Chu Chen secretly speculated.
Before he was on the road, he used the spell [Egg Yolk Formation] to cover up his aura.
Arriving near the "Red Skull", Chu Chen held the "Grass Card" in his hand, chanted a spell, turned into a green grass, and walked quietly in the jungle.
He first took back the Ruyi Sword wrapped in Tongtian Xinxiang in the green forest, and then started wandering around.
"Brother, you are going in the wrong direction. If you go this way, the aura of disaster is getting stronger and stronger. The demon must be nearby."
The little devil performed his duties diligently and reported the changes in the calamity energy in real time, his little face becoming more and more nervous.
"Senior brother, how about we change direction?"
Chu Chen couldn't help but feel happy when he heard the little ghost boy's nervous words.
The more nervous the little ghost is, the more ominous the omens are, the more excited he is - the destination is getting closer.
"Little devil, the energy of disaster has not turned into disaster. There is no need to worry. Senior brother, my escape method cannot be penetrated by ordinary demons."
The little kid looked around and saw that although there was a lot of calamity energy gathered above his senior brother's head, it was not condensing into a downward trend of calamity, so he nodded immediately.
"That's right. Senior brother has great escaping skills. This disaster can't be brought down. Senior brother, I heard that there may be good treasures in the big demon's lair. How about we go take a look and run away to see how this disaster is coming. I think it should be fine."
Chu Chen was still thinking of excuses at this moment, but he immediately became happy when he heard the kid's suggestion.
Good guy! The little guy is truly a talent!
What a brain!
"Okay, go take a look. Keep an eye on the little ghost disaster. If there is any danger, give a warning in time."
"okay!"
One person and one ghost hit it off immediately.
The green grass transformed by Chu Chen kept changing its body shape quietly, getting closer and closer to the cave of the so-called "big demon".
A cave quietly emerged among the vines.
Chu Chen turned into vine branches and leaves and slipped into the cave along the vines.
Inside the cave, it was dark, with occasional faint light blowing through, and a dark wind whistling by.
I don't know how many turns I followed the vines, and it took me a long time to "see" the lights again.
This is a deep pit in a valley, where a huge locust tree stands alone.
The locust tree has a huge crown.
There are hundreds of ghost figures tied to the branches of the tree crown, including men and women, densely packed.
At the same time, sounds came one after another from the mouths of the ghosts on the trees, including coquettishness, coquettishness, wailing, and farewell to life and death...
"Young Master~ No, you are so bad~"
"Ms. sir, I'm dying..."
"Oh, oh, oh, officer, I don't want to leave you..."
Apart from the noisy nonsense, the entire locust tree exudes a bright white light, shining brightly.
This is a strange phenomenon caused by the Yang Qi essence condensing to its peak.
Chu Chen was not surprised by this. The only thing that surprised him was that there were many male ghosts talking lingering love words on the trees.
Could it be that "Book Demon Green Lotus" is also...
Chu Chen suddenly got goosebumps.
On the other side, the little kid was dumbfounded.
It's not a fool either. It vaguely understands something. Divine consciousness transmits the message.
"Senior brother, is this... the pink skull?"
"yes!"
In the Dharma basket, the little ghost boy puffed up his chest, put his hands on his hips, and had a look of pride on his face:
"Senior brother, I have made great achievements, I am so powerful!"
