chapter77 Setting up camp and building a stoveFor Su Ziyi, the six-hundred-meter-high mountain is not too difficult to climb.He didn't bother to go into the mountains and forests to find his way, so he directly tied the things in the bamboo basket behind him, and then wrapped his toes in aura, and the whole person stepped on the side of the stream and the gravel in the stream to make the top of the mountain.It's a bit of a stretch, but it's a time saver.Therefore, after a while, Su Ziyi gasped slightly and climbed to the top of the mountain, but at this time, his upper and trouser legs were already completely wet.But Su Ziyi didn't take these things to heart.On the way up the mountain, he had been thinking about things in the middle of the night, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the mountain on this side of Luoshan Village was not ordinary, and it was estimated that there were many unknown secrets hidden in it, and behind these secrets it was very likely to mean great chances, which made his heart stir.Especially on the way up, Su Ziyi saw some of the spirit grass alone, and some of them were not even low.This made his heart full of impatience, but after some struggle, he temporarily pressed all these careful thoughts, planning to wait until he came back from the investigation, after all, there have been few people in this deep mountain.So, he can afford to wait.It's just a little frustrating that when Su Ziyi finally stood on the top of the mountain and climbed the branch of the tallest tree on the top of the mountain to look into the distance, he didn't find anything unusual.The bottom of the mountain and even as far as the eye can see are verdant, there is no gap in any of the mountains, and there are even flocks of birds flying over the canyon where the two mountains meet, which looks peaceful.This made Su Ziyi feel at a loss for a while.Could it be that last night's was just a dream in his imagination?
As soon as this idea came out, it was immediately rejected by Su Ziyi.For no dream could have been so real, he still remembered the pain that the long howl had caused to his eardrums, and the firewood he had prepared the evening had almost burned, proving that he had indeed sat by the fire in the middle of the night, awake.So, what's going on here?
Su Ziyi was puzzled, but he couldn't come to any conclusion with his blind guessing, so he simply climbed down the tree slowly and walked towards the mountain forest he had just seen.It's just that this time he wasn't thinking about other things in his heart, so he was also in the mood to pick the medicinal herbs and spiritual grass he saw when he passed by, not to mention, he really found a lot of good things, "Thirty-year-old Zhu Mingteng!"
”A big tree that was waist thick for three people was only half cut by lightning, and there were no new branches on it, only a full body of green leafy vines, which didn't look unusual, but when Su Ziyi saw it, his eyes were about to glow!
Without saying a word, he unloaded the bamboo basket behind his back, and stepped up with the tools in his hand.The leaves of the green leaf vine are the size of a palm, and they look soft and tender, covered layer by layer like a quilt.Su Ziyi flipped his big hand, touched the red vine hidden under the green leaves very cherishedly, he rubbed its thickness, pinched it with his fingernails, pinched a little juice from it and put it in his mouth and licked it, and then an excited look appeared on his face: "At least thirty years!"
”After speaking, he looked up at the top of his head, and saw that at the height of the vine, dozens of red fruits of all sizes and sizes were bearing dozens of red fruits like small oranges.But Su Ziyi didn't care if it looked good or not, he only knew that the fruit of Zhu Mingteng could be used to refine the elixir to repair the damage of internal organs, and the vines and roots were also effective in damaging the tendons and veins.It's simply a spirit grass that these alchemists can't miss!
Forcibly holding back the excitement in his heart, Su Ziyi jumped up by the surrounding trees.He was reluctant to use the power of lightning to strike the wood, for fear that his actions would be too rude and cause a trace of damage to Zhu Mingteng."
It's a pity that it's already grown, otherwise I'd really like to take it back."
Holding a small red fruit in his hand, Su Ziyi said with regret.But even so, being able to get dozens of ripe Zhu Ming vine fruits at one time, Su Ziyi was already very satisfied.He had already decided to find a suitable place to concoct the fruits into semi-finished products first, lest they all spoil before they could be brought home.It's just that he was so excited that he didn't notice for a moment that a demon beast was coming towards him.By the time he heard the movement in both ears, the other party was only about twenty feet away from him, and the shrubs and small trees in the mountains were squeezed by the other party, and the sound of "clicking, clicking" was even more unstoppable.This made him subconsciously realize that it was not good, and he dodged and jumped back to the ground.With a wave of his hand, he picked up the bamboo basket on the ground, put it on his back, jumped back to the branch without any hesitation, and found a better position, hung the bamboo basket with the cloth bag containing Zhu Ming's vine fruit, and then moved the whole position, looking in the direction of the change through the cover of the leaves.And where can his shallow cover-up skills block the nose of the demon beast!
As soon as the other party entered this area, it obviously smelled an unfamiliar smell, which made it quite angry, especially after walking next to Zhu Mingteng and seeing that a large piece of red fruit was missing from the vine, it was even more angry, and he used his brute force to hit the book where Su Ziyi was!
And when Su Ziyi saw the other party's appearance clearly, his heart was also calm, and when the other party collided, he even stepped on a branch and jumped to another tree in advance.He held the green horn knife firmly in his hand, looked at the demon beast under the tree that was not yet fully mature, and sighed in his heart: at this time last year, he saw that the beaver had only to escape, and now he could still think about hunting the other party.Yes, that's right.Su Ziyi actually broke into this beaver's territory by mistake, but in fact, it is not accurate to say that it is the other party's territory, because this beaver has only been here for a day or two.But demon beasts are all ruthless and brainless, how can they still endure it after seeing Su Ziyi take away all his rations?
Therefore, it immediately turned around and rushed towards Su Ziyi.And Su Ziyi also fought and retreated, taking it away from Zhu Mingteng's range, until he was sure that their fight would not affect Zhu Mingteng, and then jumped down from the tree.And the beaver here had long been furious by the hiding and hiding of the little insect in front of him, and after seeing Su Ziyi actually take the initiative to jump down from the tree, he immediately increased his horsepower and rushed over.And in a place only a few feet away from Su Ziyi, there was a cunning look in his still immature eyes, and he immediately used his natural powers, raised his two front legs high, and then stepped on the ground, and in an instant, even the flow of air slowed down a little.But how could Su Ziyi, who had already been prepared, be so easily recruited?
He was on tiptoe, and the whole person floated back like a kite, perfectly dodging the attack of the beaver.And taking advantage of the dense trees in this area, the beaver body is too big to turn around, stepping on the step, quickly flashed to the side of the beaver, and when the other party hit a small tree, only to turn his head, the whole person appeared on the side of the beaver like a ghost.Without waiting for the beaver to react, the green horn knife in his hand directly tore through the thick skin of the beaver without a sound, and directly inserted it into the beaver's neck according to Su Ziyi's wishes, and cut the other party's throat with a "brush", leaving the blood uncontrollably.The huge body of the beaver could not withstand this vital attack, and fell down with a "bang" without even making a wail.Su Ziyi pulled the green horn knife back, wiped it carefully with the white cloth he carried, and then looked at the corpse of the beaver and said, "Fortunately, it's not a grown beaver, otherwise I don't know how much effort I have to waste." ”Today is less than half a day, Su Ziyi first picked a large number of Zhu Ming vine fruits, and then hunted the second-order demon beast beaver, which made his heart happy.He had no other hopes, so he went back to the tree and took the things, and then hastily covered the blood stains on the beaver with herbs to stop bleeding, and then dragged the beaver carcass forward.You can't be too greedy, it's better to find a place to settle down today.And in addition to this reason, Su Ziyi has other plans in his heart.Although it is not easy for him to deal with this civet, it is also because the other party has not completely grown up, has little combat experience, and Su Ziyi has borrowed the geographical advantage, so he can defeat the enemy with one move.If it were an adult beaver, he would probably have to fight for a long time, and he would even be injured.But when he walked to this position, he could already encounter a second-order demon beast, and if he went further, wouldn't he have to encounter a demon beast that was more powerful than a beaver?
Therefore, for the sake of safety, Su Ziyi decided to find a safe place to camp nearby, and then explore it little by little, if it was not as dangerous as he thought by then, he would be stationed in it little by little.It is difficult to find a suitable camp in the mountains, not to mention that Su Ziyi has made long-term plans.The hard work paid off, and after wasting half a day's effort, Su Ziyi finally found a suitable place in the mountain nest.Unlike other places in the mountains, it is a rare stone ground without trees, and the stone is not hard marble or granite, but ordinary gray schist, and a large piece can be knocked out with a light knock.But seeing that this place is clean and bright, and the field of vision is relatively broad, Su Ziyi still chose here.He first went to the mountains and cut down a few large logs, and held the gray schist that grew a little protruding, lest there be any movement and all the gray schist under his head would fall.Then he made a bonfire out of gravel in the rock, and spread it out of the great leaves he had gathered from the mountains, so that he might not sit down and get a butt of ashes.After all this, he went to deal with the beaver and Zhu Ming vine fruit that he brought back.The beaver had already been cut off when he came across the source of the living water, so he only needed some plant ash and a simple fur to be processed.His main task now is on Zhu Ming's vine fruit, and he looked at the red and bright pile of small fruits, as if he saw a bottle of elixir beckoning to him.Maybe it's because of his natural interest, or maybe it's because he has been immersed in alchemy for a long time, Su Ziyi is now more and more fond of alchemy, and his interest in various herbs and spiritual herbs has increased several times.He exposed the rough-treated civet fur to the sun, and hung the other cut civet meat on the bonfire to smoke it, immersing himself in the processing of Zhu Ming's vine fruit.The preparation of Zhu Ming vine fruit is relatively complicated, and it is not just washed and washed and dried like ordinary herbs, but some other plants are needed as a palliative, and some of the ingredients in it that are not conducive to cultivation can be removed before they can be used.Fortunately, Su Ziyi found some of these things in the mountains, so he handled them quite easily.It's just that he dealt with it directly in the afternoon.It wasn't until his stomach was a little unbearable that Su Ziyi realized that it was already this time.He looked at the Zhu Ming vine fruits that had been processed in his hand in a trance, and only smiled slightly after a while.He took the processed Zhu Ming vine fruit to a sunny place outside to dry, and went down the mountain to the waterhole to get a pot of water and came back, and then slowly began to prepare to cook and eat.Because there is no pot, Su Ziyi can only eat it with the cake prepared for him by Bian Qing and sprinkle some salt to roast the civet meat, and because he has not eaten the meat of a second-order demon beast for a long time, as soon as the civet meat enters his mouth, he has a feeling of being suddenly separated from the world.But the effect brought by this second-order demon beast is also very good, after eating a large portion of beaver meat, Su Ziyi not only felt that after all the spirit consumed in the past two days was replenished, the aura in his body was even more energetic.He didn't delay his efforts, and took advantage of this free time to start cultivating again, and after a few weeks, he collected all the spiritual energy in the meat of the beaver just now."
Sure enough, I still want the meat of a second-order demon beast."
After meditating, Su Ziyi sighed, he had hunted a first-order demon beast with Bian Qing in the mountains several times before, but after eating it, except for some slight aura and better taste, it did not bring him any other substantive effects.But the flesh of this second-order demon beast is different, he has just cultivated once, and the other trick after the trick that was just opened last night has shown signs of loosening again!
This is almost equivalent to nearly five days of his cultivation!
Such an achievement made Su Ziyi a little overjoyed, and his gaze at the civet meat still hanging there was also a little scorching.It's just that he is now at the sixth level of Qi refining, and he is not ambiguous in terms of eating meat, and he doesn't know how many days he can last if he eats such a large head of beaver meat."
Looks like we still have to find other second-level demon beasts."
Su Ziyi was still thinking about Bian Qing at home, thinking that Bian Qing's current situation could only be of some help to second-order demon beasts, so he made up his mind that before he went back, he must hunt a few second-order demon beasts and bring them back to help Bian Qing.As for how to bring it back when the time comes?
If you go into the mountain once, you won't get lost the second time, and you can't just come back and get it when you send something important?
