Yuan Ming walked around in circles, bypassing a rock and stopped.
There is a withered old tree growing next to a mountain wall ahead. All the bark has fallen off, revealing the shriveled trunk. There are large holes rotted in many places. It looks like it has been dead for countless years.
Yuan Ming ignored the other parts of the dead tree and looked at the bottom of the dead tree. There was a black Ganoderma lucidum growing on a trunk close to the ground, as big as the palm of his hand. There was a circle of silver patterns on the edge. At a glance, he knew it was not a mortal thing.
.
"It is indeed Yin Yuanzhi!" He knelt down and took a closer look, murmuring with a happy expression.
According to the "Herborist Collection", this is a rare Yin attribute spiritual material. Although it cannot be taken directly like Ganoderma lucidum and Red Core Peach, it can be used to refine Yin attribute elixirs.
Yuan Ming saw someone offering a reward of five contribution points in the execution hall to find Yin Yuanzhi. He didn't know if this task had been completed.
He carefully picked the item, put it into a jade box, and put it away.
This Yin Yuan Zhi can be regarded as the most valuable spiritual material so far. If you look for a few more kinds, even if you can't find the red core spiritual peach, it will be a worthwhile trip.
Yuan Ming stood up and continued to move forward. Before he had gone far, his eyes suddenly focused and he looked at the mountain wall in front of him.
There is a black spiritual grass growing in the shade of the mountain wall. It is only two feet tall. Its leaves are oval and emit a faint black spiritual light.
Yuan Ming looked at the top of the spiritual grass, where there was a black spiritual fruit.
This fruit is only the size of a pigeon egg, with fine patterns looming on the surface, right next to each other. At first glance, it looks like many scales, and there is a faint fragrance floating in the air.
"Hey, isn't this the black scale fruit that Silver Cat asked me to find?" Yuan Ming was delighted.
The second cave master's medicinal collection handbook contains a picture of the black scale fruit, which is exactly the same as what is in front of him. The description of the appearance is also accurate, and the age is sufficient. I am really lucky.
He walked over quickly to pick the fruit.
"Quack!" The black toad next to him suddenly let out a rapid cry.
Yuan Ming immediately stopped, then his expression changed slightly, and he used the Shadowless Step to sweep backwards.
A black shadow fell from the sky and hit Yuan Ming hard where he had just stood, creating a large crater in the ground and sending large pieces of rubble shooting in all directions.
Yuan Ming continued to sweep backwards, dodging the gravel hitting him, and then he saw the black shadow clearly.
This is a fierce beast that looks like a lion. Its head and neck are covered with long gray hair, and its back and lower abdomen are covered with thick scales. It stands in front of the black scale fruit and roars at Yuan Ming. It looks like
Protecting this black scale fruit.
"This animal looks like a lion-scaled beast from the Shiwan Mountain. However, the fur and scales of the lion-scaled beast are red, but this one is gray-white..." Yuan Ming thought to himself, and at the same time took out the white ape's skin and used the fur coat.
The technique transformed into the body of a white ape.
Seeing that Yuan Ming had no intention of retreating, the lion-scaled beast transformed into a white ape, with obvious provocation, and immediately roared and rushed towards him.
Yuan Ming did not fight, but used the Shadowless Step to escape to the side, and pointed backwards with the secret key.
The ground in front of the lion-scaled beast cracked, and five thick wooden thorns came out and stabbed its neck.
The lion-scaled beast paused for a moment, then swept one of its front paws across, and the five wooden thorns were broken like a piece of wood.
Yuan Ming is not surprised by this. The lion-scaled beasts in Shiwanda Mountain are first-level upper-level ferocious beasts. Although the color of the one in front of him is different, in terms of aura, body shape, and size, it is not inferior at all. It is 80% of it is also an upper-level ferocious beast.
Naturally, beasts cannot be easily injured by the mere Wood Thorn Technique.
He turned over his hand and took out the Herring Sword. His right arm suddenly became much thicker, with blue veins protruding from it, which was the magical power of the "Yuan Accumulating Arm".
"Go!" Yuan Ming shouted in a low voice, swung out his arm vigorously, and the herring sword turned into a blue shadow and went straight to the chest of the lion scale beast.
The lion-scaled beast opened its mouth, and a gray fireball as big as a man's head shot out. The speed was not at all slower than that of the Herring Sword, and it collided head-on with it.
With a loud "bang" sound, the gray fireball exploded, arousing a wave of air visible to the naked eye, which directly blew the herring sword away.
Yuan Ming had already expected it. He pointed with one hand, and the herring sword flying backwards immediately stopped, circled around and continued to slash at the lion-scaled beast.
The four hooves of the lion-scaled beast emitted gray light, and its speed increased sharply. It easily dodged the attack of the herring sword and continued to rush towards Yuan Ming.
At this moment, the ground beneath it cracked open again, and a purple-black vine emerged and wrapped around the lion-scaled beast's two forelimbs and chest. It was the purple-black demonic vine.
Behind a big rock about ten feet away, the black toad lay quietly in the shadow, and the purple-black demonic vine shot out from behind it, submerging into the ground and disappearing.
The lion-scaled beast was startled. It kicked the ground with its thick limbs and jumped to the side, intending to tear off the demonic vine with brute force. However, the length of the demonic vine was unexpected, and it quickly emerged from the ground.
The lion-scaled beast jumped seven or eight feet away, but the purple-black demonic vine still did not straighten.
Longer and longer demonic vines emerged from the ground, and as they twisted, they tightly wrapped around the hind limbs of the lion-scaled beast.
Tsk tsk...
The demonic vines secrete black venom, infecting the body of the lion-scaled beast. The skin and flesh of the lion-scaled beast melt directly, and white bones are even exposed in many places. The blood flowing out is also black and red, and the scales are also corroded into pits.
The lion-scaled beast was frightened and angry, and opened its mouth to spit out a gray fireball, hitting the demonic vines wrapped around its body regardless of hurting itself.
There was a loud "bang" explosion, and a large area of demon vines was blown apart. Most of the lion-scaled beast broke free, and it was about to escape completely.
The demonic vines around the lion-scaled beast suddenly lit up with a layer of green light, and the vines penetrated left and right very quickly, forming a purple vine cage in the blink of an eye, imprisoning the lion-scaled beast tightly, unable to move at all.
It is the "Wooden Prison Technique".
After Yuan Ming finished performing the technique, he flew over, a red light flashed in his hand, and a dark red sledgehammer appeared, which was exactly the one he got from this island.
He poured his magic power into it, and the sledgehammer lit up with a dazzling red light, like a red flame.
The lion-scaled beast felt the astonishing aura emitted by the dark red sledgehammer. It was frightened and frightened, and its bloody mouth opened wide.
A gray-white fireball the size of a millstone flew out and hit the surrounding wisteria cages.
There was a loud "boom" and a gray-white mushroom cloud rose up!
The wisteria cage trembled violently, and several demonic vines were blown off, but the entire cage was almost undamaged and the lion-scaled beast was still firmly contained.
The power of the wooden prison technique depends to a large extent on what kind of trees form the wooden prison. The purple and black demon vine is inherently strong, and the wooden prison formed by it is extremely powerful. It is difficult for ferocious beasts in the Qi refining stage to break free.
A red hammer shadow whizzed down and hit the lion scale beast on the head.
The head of the lion-scaled beast exploded with a sudden sound, and countless red and white objects scattered in all directions. It died on the spot without even letting out a scream.
The purple and black demonic vines flew out, piercing the lion-scaled beast's wound and quickly absorbing its blood.
Yuan Ming ignored the behavior of the purple-black demonic vine and looked at the lifeless body of the lion scale beast, a little dazed.
After the previous fight, he deeply realized how terrifying this gray-white lion-scaled beast was. It was definitely not as terrifying as the four-eyed golden ape or black giant crow he had encountered before.
He had escaped in embarrassment from the golden ape and giant crow before, but now he could easily kill ferocious beasts of the same level. It must be said that the black toad and the demon vine were indispensable.
Unexpectedly, a powerful spiritual beast could be of such great help.
Yuan Ming took a few steps forward, picked up a broken piece of rattan from the ground, and frowned.
Although this demonic vine is tough, it is a wood-attributed thing, so it is still very powerful when faced with fire-attributed attacks.
Fortunately, the purple and black demonic vine has a strong self-healing ability, and now it is integrated with the black toad. As long as there is enough energy and blood, this level of damage can be recovered quickly.
Yuan Ming threw away the rattan in his hand, ignored the body of the lion scale beast, turned around and went to the black scale fruit, carefully picked the fruit and put it away.
At this time, the purple-black demonic vine also absorbed all the blood of the lion-scaled beast. This time, it did not feed back the black toad's body, but repaired its own damage. The broken vine body quickly grew back, and most of it recovered in a few breaths.
Yuan Ming continued to move forward, and the sound of water rushing came from the front.
He turned around a low mountain and saw a gray-white stream lying in front of him. The stream was also filled with Yin Qi, which could be clearly sensed even from a distance.
Yuan Ming was startled, then his eyes lit up with joy.
This is exactly the stream I encountered when I first landed on the island.
It would be easy to find this place. He followed the scene in his memory and swam upstream against the stream. A small mountain appeared in front of him. It was the peak where Master Kuroki's secret cave was located.
The door of the cave is still open, and the previous footprints are visible on the ground at the door. Everything remains as it was then.
Yuan Ming entered the cave and asked the black toad to follow him, wary of the earthly monsters he had encountered before.
The cave remained in its original state. He searched all over the cave again, and even escaped from his soul to check whether there were secret rooms and mezzanines on the surrounding walls. Unfortunately, there were indeed no secrets here.
Yuan Ming was quite disappointed and came to the casting furnace.
The only thing here that is still valuable is this casting furnace. The last time he met the demon, he left in a hurry and didn't have time to take it away. This time he will not miss the opportunity.
He moved the black storage bag and tried to collect the furnace.
However, after casting some spells, the casting furnace remained motionless in place.
Yuan Ming looked surprised. The space in the black storage bag was enough to hold the casting furnace.
With a hint of confusion, he began to check the stove and soon discovered the reason.
On the ground around the furnace, there is a circle of dense red runes engraved on it. It looks quite complicated and seems to have some special connection with something underground. Unless these runes are destroyed, it is impossible to move the casting furnace away.
Yuan Ming pondered for a moment, took out the herring sword, and struck the runes on the ground.
Before the sword landed on the runes, a layer of red light suddenly rose up, knocking the herring sword away.
"Could it be a magic circle?" Yuan Ming looked surprised, pondered for a moment, and gave up collecting it.
He had heard from Brother Fangge that the casting furnaces used by some skilled weapon refiners were similar to magic weapons. They contained special runes inside and would produce special benefits when refining the weapons.
A more skilled weapon refiner will further enhance the capabilities of the casting furnace in all aspects by inscribing magic circles, which will be of greater help to the weapon refiner.
Since Master Heimu left such a magic circle and furnace here, he must have a purpose. If he rashly destroys the magic circle forcibly, half of the casting furnace will be destroyed. It is better to wait until he has cultivated enough in the future.
