Longevity: Starting from the Talent of Infant Growth

The next morning, Zhou Ling left the camp.

He followed the route of yesterday and moved quickly.

After more than an hour, he arrived at the border of the inner mountain.

Along the way, he saw some monsters in the early and middle stages of the first order from time to time.

With the help of [Crisis Response], Zhou Ling felt that there were some monsters nearby and immediately avoided them.

······.

As soon as he entered the inner mountain area, Zhou Ling slowed down.

Today, the weather was a bit gloomy, although it was past the hour of Si.

But at this time, the mist in the sky did not dissipate, and some places were densely covered with jungles and vines, and it was dark and lightless.

It seemed that some terrifying monsters were lurking in it, which made people inexplicably shudder.

[There is a black claw bear in the late stage of the first order ahead, crisis response +1]

Looking at the panel prompt, Zhou Ling turned around and walked towards the hillside on the left.

As soon as he entered the inner mountain, the monsters he encountered were obviously stronger, basically in the middle and late stages of the first order.

He avoided them even more.

As he continued to move forward, Zhou Ling suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind.

"First-stage late-stage Fire Cloud Grass!"

He soon discovered a first-stage late-stage Fire Cloud Grass in the bushes a few feet away.

[Fire Cloud Grass Found, Mountain Treasure Hunting +1]

After confirming that there was no danger around, Zhou Ling swung the Fire Pattern Sword, cut off the surrounding vines, and picked the Fire Cloud Grass.

The size and branches of the first-stage late-stage Fire Cloud Grass are much larger than those of the first-stage middle-stage, and the color is also more fiery red.

Carefully wipe off the soil on the roots, Zhou Ling put it into the storage bag.

Now, in this situation, Zhou Ling did not dare to speed up.

The mist had not completely dissipated, and he had to identify the direction to avoid getting lost.

Anyway, he could not go much faster for a while, so he simply walked and looked for spiritual medicine.

Although the risks in this inner mountain are great, the resources are indeed much richer than those in the outer mountain.

And if you are lucky, you may also find Ningyuan Grass, and you don’t necessarily need to go to Jiuye Valley.

An hour later.

Since picking the first-stage late-stage Fire Cloud Grass, Zhou Ling has obtained several first-stage late-stage spiritual medicines with the help of [Searching the Mountain for Treasures].

These six or seven first-stage spiritual medicines are of good quality. Even if he can't find the Condensation Grass, if he stays in the mountain for a few more days, the spiritual medicines he obtains will be enough to ask a second-grade alchemist to refine Yangmai Pills.

Zhou Ling was also very encouraged by such a harvest.

······.

In a lush valley.

[There is a first-stage mid-stage injured stone rock rat ahead, crisis response +1]

[Found a first-stage late-stage Jinyang ginseng, search the mountain for treasures +1]

"Jinyang ginseng!"

Looking at the prompt on the panel, Zhou Ling's eyes condensed slightly. Jinyang ginseng is a tonic. It is the main material for refining many first-stage top-grade pills and is very expensive.

But according to the prompt, this stone rock rat seems to be near the Jinyang ginseng.

"However, it is a first-stage mid-stage and was injured again. I am fully capable of dealing with it."

This time, after careful analysis, Zhou Ling decided to give it a try. A Jinyang ginseng is still worth taking some risks.

Of course, with the help of [Sword Control] attack, this rock rat may not pose any threat to him.

Soon.

On the rock wall covered with vines, he saw a golden ginseng with some golden stripes on the surface.

Under the rock wall, a huge rock rat with a body that looked like a gray rock, similar to a house cat, was struggling to climb up the rock wall.

If it wasn't moving constantly, it would look like a piece of rock.

It was just that its speed seemed unusually slow, and its breathing was heavy.

As the prompt said, this was a wounded rock rat, preparing to devour the golden ginseng.

Zhou Ling lurked carefully and gradually approached.

After approaching four or five feet, he moved his mind, operated the Qinggang Sword Technique, injected the mana in his body into the Fire Pattern Sword, and activated the [Sword Control] talent at the same time.

The Fire Pattern Sword flew out of his hand.

As he had been using the sword control to kill monsters in the past two days, he was very confident in this sword control attack.

I saw a flash of flame as fast as lightning, which instantly crossed four or five feet away and hit the back of the rock rat heavily, bursting out a dazzling flame light, with amazing power.

"Hit!"

Zhou Ling was delighted.

With a thought, he took back the Fire Pattern Sword and walked forward, ready to check whether the rock rat was killed.

At this time, the rock rat that was hit and fell to the ground suddenly jumped up, looked at Zhou Ling quickly, with blood on its mouth, fangs exposed, and screamed.

It was ready to attack.

But it did not take the initiative to attack.

Zhou Ling was stunned for a moment. The Fire Pattern Sword was a first-level low-grade magic sword. With his Qinggang Sword Art, its power was no less than that of a first-level middle-grade magic.

But the lightning-fast attack just now only left a shallow scar on the back of the rock rat.

"The defense of this rock rat is so strong!"

Zhou Ling was surprised.

The two lightning and fire beads were tightly grasped in his hands.

The rock rat seemed to sense danger and turned around to flee.

Seeing the rock rat fleeing on its own initiative, Zhou Ling was relieved. It would be great if he could capture the golden ginseng without bloodshed.

However, he still couldn't be careless. He roared, "Where are you running!"

Roar!

[Lion's Roar] and [Demon Beast Pressure] were activated at the same time.

The rock rat suddenly froze and lay prone on the spot.

Trembling all over.

[You suppress a rock rat, monster pressure +1, rock rat condense mental mark +1]

[You roar at a rock rat, lion's roar +1]

Looking at the shivering Shiyan Rat, Zhou Ling looked surprised. He didn't expect that [Monster Pressure] combined with [Lion's Roar] would have such an unexpected effect.

But the rock rat seemed to be trying its best to get rid of the suppression of [monstrous beast pressure].

It screamed in its mouth and waved its limbs desperately, as if it wanted to escape from the hole.

Zhou Ling shouted again.

Anyway, there is no danger, so I should try to see how effective this [monster pressure] is.

[You suppress a stone rock rat, the monster's pressure is +1, and the stone rock rat condenses its spiritual imprint +1]

[You roar a rock rat, the lion roars +1]

This time, Shi Yanshu completely collapsed to the ground, his limbs no longer struggling, and he bowed his head towards Zhou Ling as if he was submissive.

Zhou Ling carefully observed the rock rat and felt that there seemed to be an inexplicable energy in his sea of ​​consciousness.

It is certain that this energy comes from the rock rat in front of me.

"Didn't you expect to subdue this mid-level first-order rock rat so easily?"

Zhou Ling was still a little unbelievable.

[Monster Suppression] is so effective, so being cautious all the way would be unnecessary.

However, he quickly shook his head, probably because the rock rat was injured.

[Monster pressure] has such an effect.

If it were against an uninjured Stone Rock Rat, it might be a different story.

Seeing that the Shiyan rat seemed to be injured, Zhou Ling put down the medicine basket, took out a blue and white flower from it, and threw it to it.

This blue and white flower is a first-level middle-grade elixir that can heal injuries and has an effect on monsters or human monks.

"Jiji!"

The Shiyan rat barked twice, then quickly grabbed the blue and white flowers on the ground with its front paws and started to eat them.
