069 Trek through bitter cold waters
Now there was silence all around, and only they were left.
Hook Pig pays attention to the stars in the sky. Lan Ruoshuang and Long Wu were in completely opposite directions. Long Wu went to the east, while Lan Ruoshuang went west. These people are all running at a rapid pace, apparently hoping to return to their relatively safe camp as soon as possible. Neither of them wants the other to get too close to them. After all, if a strong enemy is on the side, no one can sleep peacefully.
Judging by the speed at which the stars are moving across the night sky, the entire space of the second layer does not seem to be too large. According to the estimation of the hook pig, the entire distance from east to west will probably take only half an hour to complete, but I don't know what the situation will be when I walk to the edge.
It takes two hours to fuse the spirit seed, so it is definitely not enough to rely on distance to guard against the other party.
At their speed, they used their light skills to gallop for half to an hour, that is, fifty to a hundred miles, and it seemed that this was an area with a radius of less than a hundred miles, most of which was dense forest. Presumably, Qin Zunyang planted all the spirit grass and spirit trees he collected here, and generously left them to his disciples and grandchildren. But he didn't want his juniors to get it too easy, so he left them with a lot of tests.
"Let's go to the forest in the south to find out if there is any spirit seed?" Song Ruhai's idea is that everyone's well water does not interfere with river water, and naturally the farther away from the other two families, the better. And where it's close to others, it's likely that even if there is a spirit seed, someone else will take the lead.
"No," said Hook Pig, "we will also go west." ”
Although Song Ruhai has always been the recognized boss of the Wu Academy, I don't know when it started, they all began to listen to the idea of hooking pigs.
"Okay," Song Ruhai waved his hand, "let's go west." ”
In this small second-floor space, there are now three parts of the world, one strong and two weak. Although Hook Pig is unwilling to cooperate with Lan Ruoshuang and Mu Xiong, if Long Wu and them suddenly make a move, the two relatively weak Wu Yuan still need to work together to protect themselves. It is more convenient for them to get closer to Lan Ruoshuang, and to take care of each other.
Walking into the deep forest, they realized that this area was not as flat as they thought. The dense woods hide everything from the outside. But when you go to the depths of the forest, you will encounter high hills and valleys, deep pools and shallow streams, strange mountains and rocks, all the way.
But the deeper you go into these forests, the clearer and clearer the aura fluctuations emanating from those spirit seeds in the distance.
The Jade Palace relies on collecting and breeding all kinds of spiritual plants and spiritual trees to obtain magical powers, and it is also a business to go into the mountains to collect seeds. It's just that the sermons that Gou Pig has heard say that spirit seeds are spiritual, and they know how to hide themselves by being introverted, and it is extremely difficult to be discovered. An inexperienced seed picker can't find the spirit seed under his eyes when he walks in front of him. But the spirit seeds here are all unscrupulously exuding their own aura fluctuations, thinking that they have been pampered under the protection of this immortal tree for hundreds of years, so they have naturally formed an arrogant and domineering spirituality.
There was chaos in several parts of the jungle, and there was apparently no small fighting. Some of the spirit seeds formed on the spirit objects have been taken away, and it should be the result of Long Wu's sweeping. These areas have no value for hook pigs, so they have to be avoided far away.
The closest thing to them that still exudes the aura of spirit seeds should be an Extreme Underworld Grass. Almost everyone felt the chill brought by this rare spirit grass from the polar regions. Even the air was a little cold. If you fuse an extremely cold thing like the Extreme Stygian Grass into the Xuanmu Sword of the Jade Palace, you will definitely be able to obtain a powerful spirit sword that is no less powerful than the Frost Silk of Blue Ruoshuang.
Hook Pig originally wanted to walk directly along this feeling, but an insurmountable deep ditch soon appeared on the road. Although it is said that Hook Pig has a magic weapon for flying, that thing consumes pure Yang Dan, and this distance is not far, so it is not cost-effective. A few people could only walk into the canyon and follow the stream. The water in the canyon is fast, and the sound of rushing water is everywhere. On both sides are cold and smooth stone walls, and there is nowhere to stay. A few people could only walk against the tide in the knee-deep stream. The stream was cold to the bone, and the pig felt that he had lost his sense under his knees, and he shivered with cold.
Fortunately, the torch held by Song Ruhai glowed red on everyone's faces, and it felt a little warm. After walking for a few miles, I felt that I was getting closer and closer to the spirit seed. At this time, a pool of clearing appeared next to it, and all four of them breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, they were very close to the Extreme Stygian Grass, but no one wanted to move on. Everyone felt that there was something strange about the water. Walking in this water, it seems that the yang energy of the whole body is constantly leaking into this water. Everyone is getting colder and colder, and if they continue to walk like this, I'm afraid they will all freeze to death in this water.
Song Ruhai ordered: "Rest here for the night, and then set off tomorrow morning." ”
Wood cut down some miscellaneous trees in the vicinity and made a bonfire. Fortunately, this level can be lit on fire. The campfire was blazing, and the chill around had finally subsided a bit. Even the cold, damp sand has gradually become warmer. A white mist rose from Hook Pig's soaked pants, and it gradually became dry.
"The host ......"
A soft sensation came from his side, and a head of velvety hair rested against his shoulder, touching his cheek, making the hook pig feel extra comfortable. The nineteenth hair is not real hair, it is a fiber drawn by Pu Laojiu from fairy tree resin, but it is thinner and softer than real hair, and it feels light to the touch.
"Didn't you call me Senior Brother? "Hook Pig is too unaccustomed to the title of "master". He has relied on stealing since he was a child to "be self-reliant", and he has always taken care of himself, and he has never experienced the life of a "master" who has clothes to reach out for food and open his mouth. If you really give him a slave, he will feel very unaccustomed to it.
"I'm hungry ......"
Only then did Hook Pig realize that Nineteen was not afraid of the cold or leaning on him, but that her body was completely soft and weak. Pu Laojiu once told him that the nineteenth should not eat the fireworks in the world, and after leaving the sap of the immortal tree, he could not even eat Bigu Dan. She could only eat the Pure Yang Pill and the Xuanyin Pill that gathered pure yang and pure yin qi. The Pure Yang Pill needs to be one per day, and the Xuanyin Pill needs to be one per year, otherwise you will starve to death. Once you starve to death, you can't come back from the dead just like a human being - that's money. Hook Pig felt a heartache at that time. Sure enough, there is no such thing as a free benefit in this world.
"Why are you hungry so soon?" he was taken aback again. When he set out in the morning, he had already given the Nineteenth a Pure Yang Pill. According to Pu Laojiu's instructions, you only need one a day. Could it be that the puppet made by this guy has malfunctioned and has to be eaten every hour? 12 a day? That is the rhythm of making him so poor that he buys bottoms!
And that's not to be true. Anyway, he couldn't have watched the nineteenth die, right?
"Good Pu Lao Jiu......" Hook Pig is secretly anxious. If that's the case, if you want to go to Pu Laojiu to repair it, you have to wait for next year, and you have to spend your own money to enter the Chuangong Tower, and I was happy to have a baby, but I didn't expect it to be such a big pit.
I thought so, but he didn't hesitate in his movements. Take out a Pure Yang Pill from your pocket. The nineteenth, whose face was a little pale, was like a baby waiting to be fed, looking at him with stupid eyes, and his lips were lightly opened, which was a bit of a kiss. Hook Pig stuffed the Pure Yang Pill in his hand into her mouth, and her heart ached.
With a bang, the nineteenth was like eating beans, chewing and eating the Pure Yang Pill. There was a faint flush on her face immediately, and her eyes were refreshed.
There are more than a dozen pure yang pills in the pocket of the hook pig. He took off his pocket and hung it around the nineteenth's waist.
"When you're hungry, eat it yourself. Not enough to ask me again. "Actually, this thing of Pure Yang Pill is of no use to him except for the need to use the flying magic weapon. He was a little more at ease when he gave the nineteenth, otherwise it would have been a great sin to forget to "feed" the nineteenth and starve her to death.
"Thank you, Lord...... Oh no...... Brother. ”
It's the first time I've seen this stupid guy laugh. Before, she was cold to everyone. Hook Pig even suspected that Park Laojiu didn't have the ability to give her a smile at all. The guy's eyes narrowed slightly when he laughed, turning into two upside-down crescent shapes.
The feeling of sleepiness kept coming over the pig's heart.
"Is it because this water sucks away the yang energy?" he thought to himself. He also set out early in the morning, and it was only an hour before he arrived. Now I feel extremely sleepy. This tiredness is very unusual. Fortunately, the sand on this ground is so comfortable.
It turned out to be wet and cold sand, but now it was roasted by the fire, like a warm kang.
Then let's sleep like this.
"No, you must not fall asleep!" Hook Pig tried to force himself to wake up. He knew very well the weirdness of this bout of sleepiness. On the rivers and lakes, he has seen too many ecstasy incense and the like. It's just that this burst is not an ecstasy incense, but the pure yang qi in the body has lost a lot inexplicably. The body is so tired.
After a while, Song Ruhai, Mu Tou and Hook Pig were all staggered and couldn't move. The wood was already snoring, and Song Ruhai was also asleep. Hook Pig also forced himself to keep his eyes open, but he couldn't move.
Only the nineteenth was sober. A pure yang pill entered her body, making her entire divine consciousness particularly clear.
This state of the owner is a little wrong. What should I do? She didn't have any idea of that in her mind.
The icy stream flowed over the rocks, and a faint layer of icy mist bubbled up on it. And then came something strange, like a clump of aquatic weeds, that floated down the water and then gradually rose from the water. It was as if some strange creature in the water had raised its head.
It wasn't some kind of creature at all, it was the remains of all sorts of creatures.
