She stared at the three-lobed grass with a gleam in her eyes, thinking about how to take the herbs away quietly. It would not work if she took them openly. If she did that, the two of them would definitely join forces to deal with her, and they might even have to divide the herbs in the end. She was not willing to sacrifice herself for others. However, there was no place to hide around, so how could she get close?
Suddenly, she remembered a new fantasy beast she had just acquired, the Fantasy Sky Snake. This fantasy beast could turn invisible, which was perfect for stealing things. So, she called out softly, "Huanhuan? Little Huanhuan? Wake up!" As she spoke, she used her mental power to enter the sea of consciousness and raised the Fantasy Sky Snake.
"What's calling? Is it calling me with such an ugly name?" The phantom snake opened its small green bean-sized eyes and looked around in confusion before it remembered where it was. It was about to jump up, but it felt like someone was holding it up, so it began to twist its body, trying to break free.
"Be content. Why is the name Huanhuan so ugly? Quickly become invisible and help me steal those spiritual herbs." Lu Xuanxin urged.
"I protest! This name is too ugly. Besides, I am an ancient mythical beast, how can I steal medicine?" The Phantom Snake felt that the life of a beast was difficult, and an ancient mythical beast had actually fallen to stealing things.
Lu Xuanxin glared and said, "Protests are useless! Go steal the medicine, or I'll stew you into soup." As she spoke, she shook the mental chain in her hand threateningly.
"Wow! Unscrupulous master, actually bullying the beast! I want to return it!" The phantom snake wailed. However, Lu Xuanxin ignored its protest and threw it out of her sea of consciousness. Because of the contract, even if the phantom snake was invisible, she could still see it.
The phantom snake turned around and glared at her fiercely, but in Lu Xuanxin's opinion, it was quite cute. She felt that she was a little abnormal. She actually thought a snake was cute? How abnormal was that? However, it was undeniable that this little snake was indeed quite good-looking, especially its pair of small green bean-sized eyes, which sparkled with a smart light.
While Lu Xuanxin was in a daze, the Phantom Sky Snake had returned with the herbs wrapped in its slender body, crashed into her arms, and then disappeared, leaving only a few spiritual herbs in her arms. She touched the spiritual herbs in her arms, feeling secretly happy.
The fight between a man and a woman suddenly stopped because the woman suddenly realized that the elixir was missing. She looked around angrily, but could not find any trace of the elixir. What was the point of fighting if the elixir was gone? She pointed at the man angrily and asked, "Where is the elixir? Did your companion steal it while we were fighting?"
How could the man admit it? He said innocently, "Don't talk nonsense! It was obviously your companion who did it." The two argued for a while, but to no avail, they started fighting again. This time they both used their true Qi, and the fight was more intense. The Qi was crisscrossing the woods, and the leaves were flying.
Lu Xuanxin stopped paying attention to them, collected the herbs and quietly left. She walked alone, feeling particularly good because she had obtained several four-star spiritual herbs. She looked around and found some more spiritual herbs, but they were all two-star and three-star, not a single four-star one. She felt a little regretful, but then she thought that she was extremely lucky to find a four-star spiritual herb here, so she shouldn't be too greedy.
"Crack!" There was a crisp sound under her feet. Lu Xuanxin looked down and found that she was stepping on a skeleton. The skeleton looked quite old. It should be someone who had practiced here before. He died here for some unknown reason. Only the skeleton was left. She was crushed by her foot. She was shocked. This place was indeed full of dangers.
She squinted her eyes and looked around, and found that she was standing in front of a swamp. The swamp looked gloomy and terrifying, with rolling mud and emitting bursts of foul odor. There were many bones nearby, which were obviously the remains of monks or animals who accidentally fell into the swamp. This swamp was dangerous, and she had to be careful.
She was about to turn around when she saw the mud in the swamp begin to bubble and surge like boiling water. Then, several figures leaped into the air, splashing mud and rushing towards her with their bloody mouths open. They were several iron-mouthed crocodiles, three-star beasts that fed on flesh and blood and were extremely ferocious.
"Iron-mouthed crocodiles?" Lu Xuanxin glanced at them calmly, and then quickly retreated a few meters away. She opened her big round eyes and watched indifferently as the iron-mouthed crocodiles fell into a ball. Although these iron-mouthed crocodiles were ferocious, they were just small characters in her eyes.
Seeing this, Lu Xuanxin quickly formed seals with her slender fingers and stepped on the ground with one foot. An invisible force spread through the earth. The earth surged in waves, rushing towards the group of iron-mouthed crocodiles that had already reacted. Then, sharp thorns suddenly stood up on the ground, firmly nailing the iron-mouthed crocodiles that wanted to jump again. This was one of her magic skills - the ground spike technique, which was particularly effective against these beasts on the ground.
Lu Xuanxin became more and more proficient in the use of magic. She formed seals with both hands faster and faster, and the power she released became stronger and stronger. Those iron-mouthed crocodiles had no power to fight back under her magic attack and could only struggle in pain.
"Roar—" The crocodiles roared in pain, their eyes filled with hatred and murderous intent. They struggled continuously, trying to pounce on her again, but were firmly pinned by the spikes on the ground and could not move.
The seal in Lu Xuanxin's hand changed again, and the surrounding trees stretched out their branches, fiercely whipping the still jumping iron-mouthed crocodiles, and whipping them into the sharp spikes on the ground again. These trees seemed to be under her command and became her helpers.
"Roar—" The roar gradually weakened and finally disappeared completely. In just one minute, more than a dozen iron-mouthed crocodiles that had roamed this area for many years were all killed. Their bodies lay on the ground in all directions, and the smell of blood filled the air.
After waiting for a while, there was no more movement in the swamp, so Lu Xuanxin continued to move forward. She condensed a flaming sword, cut open the crocodile's skull and took out the core. These cores are materials for making certain magic tools. Although they are not valuable, they can be exchanged for some spiritual stones. Then, she selected two crocodile corpses with rich blood and put them away. This iron-mouthed crocodile is a three-star beast with rich blood. After eating it, it has the effect of refining the body of the cultivator.
After leaving the swamp, she walked for another half an hour. On the way, she encountered many bones, and even a few fresh bones. Obviously, these were the remains of the monks who came here with them. Not only did they die here, but even their flesh and blood disappeared. They might have been eaten by the beasts here or other monks. The living environment here is too harsh, and she must be more cautious.
As she was walking, Lu Xuanxin suddenly heard the sound of fighting in the distance. She moved her mind and quickly moved towards the direction of the fighting. She prayed that it was Tianying and the others. They had lost contact since they jumped off the cliff. This place was strange and dangerous. She didn't know what their situation was. She could only hope that they were all safe.
After passing through the dark and deep forest and climbing over the rolling hills, I finally came to the entrance of a gloomy cave. Around the entrance of the cave, ancient trees grew twistedly, as if they were the guardians of nature, unwilling to let people approach this mysterious place easily.
Lu Fengshan, Ye Qiuyan and Wu Tianquan were being attacked by vines that grew wildly all over the sky. The vines were covered with thorns, like poisonous snakes dancing in the air, intertwined together, forming a huge ghost face, and rushed straight towards them. There were several bloodstained rags scattered on the ground. It was obvious that someone had been killed, their flesh and bones had been devoured, and only these rags were left, telling the tragedy just now.
I didn't attack immediately, but just observed the situation first. I knew Lu Fengshan, Ye Qiuyan and Wu Tianquan, and they looked extremely embarrassed under the attack of the vines. I had never seen the others, but judging from their clothes and demeanor, they were obviously a group of cultivators with high cultivation.
"There are actually ghost thorn vines here! Four-star magic plants." I touched my chin and said with heavy eyes. Ghost thorn vines are quite famous among the magic plants. They are not only tenacious, but also very intelligent. They can often lay a net of heaven and earth, which makes many cultivators terrified.
Demonic plants also have levels. Tianying and I encountered a demonic plant in the Chifeng Mountains before. At that time, it just occupied the spiritual vein and developed spiritual intelligence over time, but the spiritual intelligence was not high. At that time, the two of us had just started out and did not know combat skills, so we suffered a loss. Now, I am already a two-star spiritual master, but it is still difficult to control a four-star demonic plant.
Lu Fengshan and the others were covered in wounds. The thorns of the ghost thorn vine contain toxins. The toxins will enter the body through the wounds of the poisoned people, gradually paralyzing the nerves, making the movements slower and slower, and finally being swallowed. I noticed that there was a girl in a pretty pink dress in the crowd. Her identity seemed to be extraordinary, and everyone was surrounding her. She should be wearing a defensive treasure, and she was the only one in the crowd who was not injured.
The other person who was not injured was Ye Qiuyan. She was dressed in green, with long hair and a cold face, but at this moment she looked a little weird. I don't know why Lu Fengshan and Wu Tianquan kept protecting her. Every time a vine came over, they would actually use their bodies to block it.
Why did Lu Fengshan and the others suddenly cherish Ye Qiuyan so much? Even if she was a woman who needed to be taken care of, she shouldn't have used her body to block the blows. And looking at their wooden expressions and slow movements, it was obvious that the poison in their bodies was already very deep. Despite this, they still rushed to Ye Qiuyan again and again, blocking every attack.
I squinted my eyes and stared at Ye Qiuyan, feeling that something was wrong with her this time. She was still the same person, but her facial expression was full of greed and evil, as if there was some big treasure hidden behind the ghost thorn vine. Her eyes were flashing with an abnormal light, which was an extreme desire for power and wealth.
What was even more strange was that the attack range of the ghost thorn vine was limited. They knew they could not defeat it, so why didn't they leave and fight with it? If they were really not afraid of death, they would just go straight to the ghost thorn vine. Could it be that they were also controlled by some force?
"Huan Huan, can you tell if there is anything wrong with those two women?" I asked the Phantom Snake in my sea of consciousness. The Phantom Snake is a spirit beast that I recently subdued. It has a pair of eyes that can see through everything.
"Well, the two women were possessed and controlled others to do their bidding. The ghost thorn vine's cave contained what they wanted." The voice of the Phantom Snake sounded in my mind with a hint of solemnity.
"Possessed? Could it be that he is taking over someone else's body?" I was secretly surprised. Could it be that I really guessed it right? Taking over someone else's body is a taboo in the world of monks. It means that the soul of a strong person is snatching the body of another person and devouring the soul of another person.
"No, they are possessed by mountain spirits, commonly known as ghost possession. It's not a possession of another's body. It must be after the treasures in the cave." The Phantom Snake explained.
"What treasure is in there? Is it worth them going to such great lengths?" I couldn't help but ask curiously. Five-star spiritual medicines are extremely rare. They often grow in places where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth converges, and have incredible medicinal effects.
"A five-star spiritual medicine, the Soul-Nourishing Flower!" The little eyes of the Phantom Sky Snake blinked, and it was obviously surprised by the news it had heard. The Soul-Nourishing Flower, this kind of spiritual medicine is definitely a treasure that monks who cultivate soul power dream of.
Then, I saw the phantom snake stealthily rushing straight into the cave covered by vines. Its body drew a graceful arc in the air, like a black lightning, and instantly disappeared into the vines. At this time, it showed its ability to break through the air, and it had already entered before alarming the vines.
Five-star elixir? There is a five-star elixir here? And it is a spiritual elixir. You know, this kind of elixir is definitely a rare existence. I can't help but feel a little excited, but I am more worried. Lu Fengshan and Wu Tianquan are getting more and more critical. I must find a way to save them as soon as possible.
I have been paying attention to the situation of Lu Fengshan and Wu Tianquan. Seeing that their movements are getting slower and slower, I can't help but frown. Their eyes have begun to blur, and it is obvious that the poison has invaded their nervous system. I must find a way to save them as soon as possible, otherwise they will really die here.
