Chapter 37: Treasure Hunt in the Mountains [Please vote and read]
Winding mountain roads, dense vegetation.
The towering treetops block out the sun like green clouds, one after another, covering the sky and making it invisible.
The inside and the outside became two different worlds.
The sun was shining brightly outside, but deep in the forest, it seemed to be tinged with dark hues and was extremely dim.
"Rustling, rustling~"
Qiu Zhen bent his body, holding a heavy iron bow in his left hand and an axe in his right hand to clear the way. A faint light shone from the third eye between his eyebrows as he spied on the movements around him.
The little fox Baizhu carried a bamboo basket for collecting herbs that was larger than itself and followed Qiu Zhen step by step. From time to time, he looked left and right with his ears perked up, observing the surrounding situation with a vigilant and cautious look on his face.
Now, they have truly entered the depths of the mountains.
The mountains are high and the forests are dense. There is no sunlight, and the negative energy is growing. I don’t know how many poisonous snakes, insects, monsters and ferocious beasts are born here, and it is very dangerous.
Previously, the “hilly” area where Qiu Zhen and Bai Zhu mingled was dwarfed by this.
A few days ago, they encountered a stone spirit in the mountains who was good at camouflage and concealment.
Bai Zhu was confused and thought it was a rock, so he sat down on the stone spirit and planned to have a good rest.
Fortunately, Qiu Zhen possessed the third eye, and he was able to perceive the moment the stone spirit awakened and revealed its breath. He saw it at the first moment, and casually threw a "thunder talisman" at it, causing sparks to fly and it disappeared into the ground, thus saving Bai Zhu.
Otherwise, Baizhu would probably be swallowed up by others.
After this incident, both Qiu Zhen and Bai Zhu developed a sense of awe for the real "deep mountains and old forests".
Fairies and ghosts are not "magic herbs and medicines". The most important thing for them to survive in the mountains, besides martial arts and supernatural powers, is the ability to "hide". They need to restrain their breath and conceal their tracks. Only then can they live long and have the opportunity to grow.
Even though Qiu Zhen possesses the [Clairvoyance], he is currently unable to see at a glance the monster's superb "escape technique" that conceals its form and breath.
If you are not careful, you will capsize in a ditch, be buried in the mountains, and become food for monsters.
Qiu Zhen did not dare to go deep into the mountains. These days he was searching for treasures and hunting in the outer areas of the mountains.
It’s not that he is “a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger”, but in the past month he has searched all the valleys and hills, big and small, within dozens of miles around Qingmu Town and collected all kinds of magical herbs and precious medicines.
When others go into the mountains to look for treasure, it's purely a matter of luck.
He is different. With his divine power of divine eyes, he can tell at a glance whether there is any treasure or not.
After a thorough cleanup, he could find no magical herbs or precious medicines.
The situation of hunting ferocious beasts is not bad either. There are many martial artists who patrol the forest regularly around Qingmu Town. Some martial artists often go out of the city in groups and work together to hunt ferocious beasts.
In the surrounding valleys and hills, encountering ferocious beasts sometimes depends on luck.
At the beginning, Qiu Zhen killed a few ferocious beasts and sold them for a lot of money, but later on his luck was bad and he didn't get much.
So, relying on the high-level spell [Golden Lightning Talisman], Qiu Zhen began to hunt for treasures around the "mountain".
"Shashasha~"
Qiu Zhen stepped lightly on the yellow leaves and came to a bush. After using his [Heavenly Eye] to observe and confirm that it was safe, he pulled out an axe from his waist and started digging.
Soon, two umbrella-shaped herbs, along with the plants and soil, appeared in front of him.
"Two treasures in one hoe! Two precious angelica plants"
Qiu Zhen recognized him at the first sight and felt inexplicably happy.
The flavor of Angelica sinensis is sweet and strong, so it is specifically used to nourish the blood. Its aroma is light and pungent, so it can also circulate blood. It can nourish while moving, and can circulate while nourishing. It is truly a qi medicine for the blood and a holy medicine for nourishing the blood.
Both of these precious medicines have formed complete spiritual patterns.
What made him even more delighted was that a precious angelica medicine, after being nourished by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, actually had two "spiritual patterns".
"What a great Angelica King."
Qiu Zhen was delighted and waved.
The little fox carrying a bamboo basket for collecting herbs came running over happily, turned around, and two precious herbs fell into the basket.
Without saying a word, the man and the fox turned around and left the dense forest where there was no sunlight, all in one go.
After about dozens of breaths.
Qiu Zhen and Bai Shu finally "saw the light of day again", and what they saw before their eyes became clear again.
This is Qiu Zhen’s daily routine these days.
Wandering around the edge of a mountain, his "Sky Eye" glimpsed a glimmer of light, and he would try to go a mile or two deeper in search of treasure, but never deeper.
"Ow~"
"I saw."
Shortly after exiting the dense forest, Qiu Zhen squatted in the weeds that were nearly one meter high, his eyes set on a stream about six hundred meters away.
The stream was gurgling, and a blue ox with gray horns was chewing tender grass and drinking stream water, enjoying its meal very much.
The bison was three meters long and had a strong body. Its horns were thick and flat, reaching up to the sky. Its body was dark black, and its hide was smooth and shiny, with a faint glow of precious light.
"Another ferocious beast. After so many days, my luck has finally changed. Good fortunes come one after another."
Qiu was really happy.
This ferocious green bull beast is quite powerful. Its hide has undergone strange changes and can emit a faint precious glow.
If an ordinary martial artist encountered it alone, it would be difficult to deal with it and he would not be able to take down this big guy. His 10-stone iron-framed heavy bow, with arrows piercing a thousand pounds, could accurately hit ordinary beasts, and with one strike, the beasts would be seriously injured if not killed.
But if it is a ferocious beast like the Green Ox, given its toughness, it may not be that easy.
Fortunately, Qiu Zhen is not only a martial artist, but also an immortal cultivator who has achieved the status of a "Yin God".
He reached into his bosom and pulled out a yellow talisman.
It was exactly the [Thunder Talisman] that he had written earlier.
[Thunder Talisman] Just the word "thunder" is written on it. It is a basic Taoist talisman. When activated, its power is greater than an arrow shot by a ten-stone heavy bow.
However, it is not much stronger.
Qiu Zhen held the [Thunder Talisman] between two fingers, pulled out a sharp iron arrow from the quiver behind him, and stuck the [Thunder Talisman] on the arrow.
The bowstring is fully drawn and looks like the moon.
"Whoosh!"
An arrow was shot out and the air vibrated.
An arrow shot from a ten-stone heavy bow is inherently powerful, with terrifying force and astonishing speed.
However, an even more shocking scene occurred.
The arrow that was shot out suddenly flashed with lightning, and after a loud bang, a small cloud burst out in the air.
Immediately afterwards, the arrow suddenly burst out with a terrifying thrust.
"boom!"
The Green Ox beast was extremely alert, and even when it was eating to its heart's content, it did not let its guard down.
The moment the arrow flew out, it noticed it and instinctively ran away to avoid it.
If it was an ordinary ten-stone heavy arrow, it would have dodged it.
Even if you can't avoid it, you won't hurt its vital parts.
However, the arrow was too fast.
As soon as it noticed the clue and turned its head, the arrow with terrifying force appeared in front of it.
The pupils are shocked!
It looked shocked and desperate as the arrow hit its neck.
"Oh!"
The giant fell to the ground with a loud bang.
The next moment, the man and the fox quickly crossed the weeds and came to the stream.
"Ow~"
Bai Zhu was stunned.
The reason was simple. When he took a closer look, he saw that the ferocious beast, the blue bull, was actually shot to the ground.
The arrow pierced its neck and lodged deep into the earth.
"The power is pretty good!"
Qiu Zhen was very satisfied.
The combination of archery and talismans far exceeded their original power and produced miraculous effects.
This "combination skill" cannot be performed by ordinary cultivators, and requires extremely sophisticated "spiritual consciousness" control.
Otherwise, a bad [Thunder Talisman] could easily cause the "arrow" to deflect, greatly affecting its accuracy.
Qiu Zhen was able to do this because he possessed the primordial spirit and Dharma body, and had also cultivated himself into a "yin spirit".
"Bai Shu, let's go. We have harvested enough. Today's treasure hunt ends here."
After saying this, Qiu Zhen was about to carry the huge green ox.
However, just as he bent down, he was startled and subconsciously looked up at the sky.
I saw that the sky, which was clear just now, suddenly became gloomy, dark clouds rolled in, and the sky suddenly became dark.
"Ow~"
Bai Zhu asked everyone to find a place to hide from the rain.
"It's not a thunderstorm!"
Qiu Zhen spoke with a firm tone. As a man who practiced thunder magic, he had the ability to observe celestial phenomena and predict the weather.
Today, there are no conditions for rain here.
unless
The third eye between Qiu Zhen's eyebrows glowed with a faint light, and his eyes looked into the depths of the mountains.
Hundreds of miles away, in the rolling dark clouds, two "little suns" the size of millstones, emitting red light, hung high in the sky.
"Big monster! That's a big monster!"
