Chapter 24 Strange Grass

The sky slowly filled the clouds and mist, and the sky rift valley lit up.The scope of the heavens and the earth reflected by the map of the gods has expanded to the limit of fifty miles without knowing it, which makes Yu Ci very happy. This proves that it is not a permanent decay, but it may be just a once-in-a-day in the sky rift valley. Occasional changes that occur only in unique circumstances.

Having not slept all night and being in a state of high tension, at this time Yu Ci's eyes were bloodshot, but his spirit was extremely excited.A quarter of an hour ago, those ferocious beasts that went out at night were silent, and now it was time for him to move around.

Picking shrimp silk grass is hard work, even if Yu Ci's cultivation base is diligent, shrimp silk grass can be picked up everywhere, it's the same.After working hard for a whole morning, Yu Ci had only picked a few hundred roots when the summer heat penetrated through layers of clouds and mist to affect the place, but the birds and beasts in the valley passed by three or five times, and Yu Ci had to hide in advance. Hard.

After working for more than an hour, the arrogance that Yu Ci cultivated at night was almost completely destroyed by the same boring work.He began to understand why all the cultivators in the Bairi mansion, all of whom are capable, still hire ordinary people to do this job...

Doing this kind of bastard thing all day long, but also repairing a butt, growing a bird!

At this time, another fishy smell rolled over in the cloud and mist, he sighed, his body fell, and he rushed to the hiding place that had been arranged earlier.

As soon as he took cover, there was the sound of flapping wings above his head.Yu Ci glanced outside, and the one that landed on the slope was a kind of flesh-winged flying ape he had seen yesterday. Although it had fleshy wings, it could only glide for a short time. It usually lived in the upper areas of the valley. As for the terrifying beasts that impressed him deeply, they were not too difficult to deal with.

This flying ape looked injured, its gray fur was stained with blood, and its expression was sluggish, but it seemed to come here with a strong purpose.After landing, he didn't look around, but directly found a place on the ground, stretched out his forelimbs, and dug in the ground.

There happened to be a blank area where no shrimp grass grew, and Yu Ci was not afraid that the beast would damage the 'medicinal' grass, but he developed a strong curiosity.From this angle, he couldn't see the specific situation under the flying ape's claws, so he simply used the map of the gods to bring up a perspective that was almost exactly the same as that of the flying ape to see what this guy was doing.

The flying ape's claws were sharp, and he quickly dug a few feet deep, revealing the pine roots below. This guy separated the roots, and very skillfully grabbed an earthworm-shaped thing. In his mouth, after chewing a few times, he swallowed.

Perhaps this "earthworm" really has the effect of 'medicine'. After swallowing this thing, the flying ape actually cheered up, screamed, spread its fleshy wings, and glides away with a strong wind.

Yu Ci stared blankly.Some time ago, he used the map of the gods to observe the surrounding terrain, which can be described as detailed. Of course, he also saw this kind of "earthworm", but he didn't pay attention to it at the time, but seeing the state of the "earthworm" at the fingertips of the flying ape, he realized that, That is definitely not an "earthworm", not even a living thing, but a 'medicinal' herb that looks like a bug.

He has seen Cordyceps sinensis used as 'medicine', but it is very different from this stuff.This grass stem is too 'real', except that it can't twist, the whole body is very similar to reptiles such as earthworms, and there is even a layer of fine scales on its surface, giving off a delicate luster that only living beings have. .

Magnify it several times, and say that this thing is a long snake or an eel, maybe Yu Ci will believe it.

Uh, wait, eel... fish?

He still remembered what the drunken 'medicine' picker said the day before yesterday: Bairi Mansion can make a kind of 'medicine' water, soak a lot of shrimp silk grass in it, the best quality and the most complete preservation One plant may be soaked alive, and this soaked Shrimptail grass will absorb all the vitality of the same kind into itself and become a new 'medicinal' herb.That 'medicine' herb is called...

Fish dragon grass!

Yu Ci jumped out from the hiding place, ran to the soil layer dug by the flying ape, and inspected it carefully, but there was only one plant nearby, it was chewed by the flying ape, and there was nothing left.

Of course, Yu Ci couldn't cut the grass stem out from the belly of the flying ape that had gone away, but he had a map of the gods, in the wave of blue light, the terrain around the slope was presented in the most detailed and complete way before his eyes.

After searching deliberately, he soon gained something.There are none on the slope, but there are seven or eight trees under the surrounding cliffs.And further away, on the same depth plane, about four miles apart, he even found a place where the shrimp grass grows, and there are three or five similar 'medicinal' grasses there.

However, these 'medicinal' herbs all grow in relatively deep rock crevices, and some are directly locked deep in the rock formations several feet thick.This is also normal, if this herb has excellent medicinal effects, those that grow in the open place would have been dug up by the creatures in the valley long ago, and the only ones that can survive are of course those plants that are hidden deeper.

Yu Ci let out a long cry, he had to thank the Illuminating God Bronze Mirror and the Illuminating God Map, otherwise, even if these plants were right under his feet, he would have no way of finding them, let alone confirming their exact location.It just takes a lot of hard work to dig them out.

With a hey, he directly raised the Nine Sun Talisman Sword. If it is really a fish dragon grass, what is the little effort it consumes?

The sun rises and the moon rises, the sun rises and the moon sets, and nearly twenty hours have passed in the blink of an eye.During this period, Yu Ci tried his best to dig one deep hole after another on the iron-hard cliff, and dug out the 'medicinal' grass growing in it.

This is not an easy task, the surrounding cliffs are as hard as iron, it is difficult to get a hand on, and the roots inside are intricately entangled, and there will be damage if you don't pay attention, within a day and a half, Yu Ci completely gave up on the shrimp. Xucao, with all his strength, only took out eight 'medicinal' plants near the slope. As for the newly discovered spot four miles away, he hadn't had time to do it yet.

However, during the excavation process, he discovered a characteristic of the 'medicinal' grass: in the space of about half an acre around the place where the grass grows, there must be no shrimp grass, and the rest of the plants are Can grow freely.According to the news I heard earlier, this phenomenon may be caused by the fact that this grass swallows the vitality of other shrimps to enrich itself.

From this point of view, the certainty that this 'medicinal' herb is Yulongcao is [-]% more certain.

Yu Ci didn't mix the 'medicine' herb with the shrimp silk grass, but specially vacated the stone box of Daoist Yan, and carefully placed eight 'medicine' herbs in it.

After finishing these things, there is already a mess near the slope.During this period of time, Yu Ci was chiseling the stone wall, and the sound was indeed louder, which had already attracted the attention of many ferocious beasts. After thinking about it, he simply left the remaining thousands of Shrimptail grasses and temporarily moved them four miles away. The newly discovered 'medicine' spot, avoid the limelight.

The new 'medicine' site is much more difficult than the slope, and there is no stable point to borrow.It was Yu Ci who came up with the experience of excavating the cliff in the past few days. He took advantage of a large crack in the cliff to carve out a recess that was barely enough to hide in, and only then did he have a place to stay.

But then again, it's more hidden here than on the slope.

The appearance of the shrimp silk grass here is actually not very good, but what Yu Ci pays more attention to is the 'medicinal' herb that is suspected to be ichthyosaur grass.He took the trouble to check again with the map of the gods, confirmed the positions one by one, and was about to start work, when he suddenly found that the light and shadow changes were obviously unusual at the side corners of the map of the gods.

He looked intently, but saw an acquaintance.

When that person's face was clearly presented in the diagram, Yu Ci took a sip: You are bald!

According to the picture of the gods, it was the monk who plotted against him two days ago but was countered by him.Yu Ci didn't know his name until now, he only called him "Poisonous Snake" and called him Venomous Snake Monk.

The monk didn't know that in the depths of the distant sky rift valley, someone was looking at him unscrupulously and uttering evil words.Now, he was killing people again, but this time he had the upper hand.

His opponent was a young man in a white shirt. He was clumsy and helpless, but every time he was in a dangerous situation, a golden light would fly around his body. The poisonous snake monk seemed very afraid of this With a golden light, the young man escaped with a flick of his hand.

The two chased from the cliff to the bottom, and fought on the cliff of the Tianrift Valley. At this time, their feet were hanging in the air, and if they made a mistake, they would be doomed. Not only did they have to test their cultivation, but they also had to test their courage.The young man couldn't stand up to Monk Poisonous Snake's sophistication, he was timid at first, and he didn't expect that when the monk swung his sleeves suddenly, five or six green starlights flew towards his face.

The young man was obviously taken aback, his body was already numb, and he instinctively shrank back, but he forgot that he was already on the top of the cliff, and when he stepped on the air, he fell down sharply with a scream, and the miserable green starlight also hit the ground. empty.

All of this is under the control of the poisonous monk. The monk hissed and swayed his sleeves again. A few green starlights were sucked up by his long whale and then retracted. His figure slid all the way down the cliff. He grabbed the young man's chest with his hands, as if his intention was to capture him alive.

But at this moment, the young man gave a loud cry, and the golden light around his body reappeared, turned into a long rainbow, and chopped off his head.The monk was also taken aback, turned his claws into splits, and slammed his palm on the young man's chest. With a little strength, he moved aside. , showed its original shape, but it was a golden knife about two feet long.

Although the monk gave way quickly, a gash had been torn open on his face by the saber energy, and the blood was very seeping.The monk was overjoyed, and he didn't care about the young man, so he rushed forward and pulled out the golden knife, held it in his hand and looked at it for a while, then suddenly laughed up to the sky, no sound could be heard in the picture, but the image was enough to prove that A golden knife must be a great treasure.

Yu Ci let out a "bah", he couldn't take the poisonous monk's behavior very seriously, and couldn't help feeling sorry for the young man who fell into the cloud.The young man's cultivation level is actually not much worse than that of the monk, but he is timid in his heart, not using [-]% of his kung fu, and relying too much on that golden knife, so that the knife is lost and killed... Huh?

According to the divine map, after the young man fell, there was a period of rapid fall at first, but after falling more than a hundred feet, the speed slowed down suddenly, like a weightless leaf, fluttering down.

At first, Yu Ci thought it was a young man pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, but soon he discovered that the man really passed out.The reason for this situation seems to be that the robe on his body is also a good treasure, and he spontaneously protects the Lord.However, in the fierce place of Tianrift Valley, even if this person could not fall to his death, he would be swallowed alive by the surrounding ferocious birds and beasts sooner or later.

Seeing this situation, Yu Ci thought for a while, then suddenly got up and rushed out of the depression.

"Forget it, it's your kid's luck!"

Yu Ci is not an abusive person, if the young man did not have the precious clothes to protect his body, and fell directly from the height of ten thousand feet, with such momentum, even the gods would be crushed into meatloaf, then the young man would pass over his head, and he would He also doesn't know how to stretch out his hand; but the situation is different now, he has the map of the gods, and he ran ten miles in the sky rift valley, and it was just a matter of sweating, but he could save a life, why not do it?

Half an hour later, Yu Ci carried the young man who was still in a coma back to the slope where he stayed earlier, and this was the only place nearby that was a decent place to stay.

He unceremoniously threw the young man on the ground, this was not light, the young man hummed even in a coma.From Yu Ci's point of view, this young man is a bit too young. Although his face is full of fear of death, it can be seen that he is still childish, no more than fifteen or sixteen years old.This age can only be called a teenager.

Leaving aside his appalling actual combat ability, only in terms of cultivation, this age is enough for Yu Ci to bang his head against the wall.However, what really made Yu Ci unbearable was:

"This kid... was simply fainted by fright!"
