Chapter 158
The turtle in the tree hole has a white shell and a white body. It is as fat as a balloon. Its small eyes are listless and sleepy.
Shake the turtle shell from time to time, and a thick mist will immediately appear.
If you look carefully, you will find that this little turtle is not solid, but has a sense of illusion, especially the white shell on its body that is as erratic as clouds.
"Mist Turtle?"
Yunji came closer and took a closer look, and said curiously: "The phantom beast spawned by the forest fog is quite interesting. It is actually sealed in the tree hole. This is the Mist Vine, no wonder it can't come out."
quack.
The little mist turtle made a miserable cry like a duck, and its little eyes showed a pitiful luster.
"Fantasy beasts are rare, and phantom beasts that sell poorly are even rarer. I caught a water spirit at the beach, in the form of a big fish, and almost died after keeping it in a water tank for half a year. Your little mist turtle looks quite strong, and it's a good thing to keep.
He shouldn’t die in a few years.”
quack?
The little mist turtle rolled its eyes and fell to the side, its white shell shattered one after another, and the whole thing turned into a mist.
The mist surged in the tree hole and couldn't get out, as if I was pretending to be dead.
"It's just a joke. Mist is inedible. I'm not interested in inedible things."
quack……
The mist in the tree hole condensed again, and the outline of a small fog turtle appeared, constantly pecking at the black vines outside the tree hole.
With each bite, the little mist turtle becomes darker, but the black vine remains unharmed.
"Give up. The Mist-Transforming Vine has the miraculous effect of melting mist. It swallows clouds and fog wherever it grows. This thing is specially designed to restrain atomized fantasy beasts like you."
quack!
The little fog turtle became very angry, twisting its shell as if swearing. Once it became agitated, an egg-shaped mist ball immediately appeared under its feet.
"Turtle egg? Oh, it's a mist egg. It can actually lay eggs. It seems that the body of the phantom beast is almost complete."
quack!!!
The little mist turtle angrily watched as the mist eggs he finally brewed were easily picked up by others, as if he was cursing.
Yun Ji looked at the solid egg-shaped mist mass, nodded and said: "It seems that the person who sealed you in the tree hole was aiming for this egg. From such a solid mist mass, I am afraid that only one will appear every year."
.”
Phantom beast eggs are very rare.
Because most phantom beasts are formed from various types of breath and are not living creatures, they cannot lay eggs and give birth to babies. Even what Yunji holds is not a real egg, but the essence of mist.
The essence of mist can be used to assist in refining weapons. If it can be successfully added to the magical weapon, it will have a miraculous effect of controlling fog, which will help the chance of winning against the enemy. This kind of auxiliary material is rare, and every piece of it is valuable.
This fog egg is worth at least a hundred spirit stones.
The Little Mist Turtle is a product of the accumulation of heaven and earth. It belongs to the category of elves and is harmless. Yunji took out the Dragon Tooth Knife, clicked it, and cut off the Mist Vine, and then put it into his storage bag.
This vine is worth more than ten spiritual stones and cannot be wasted.
"Both the egg and the vine belong to me, and freedom belongs to you. It's fair, we owe nothing to each other."
quack!
The little fog turtle rushed out of the tree hole, ecstatically happy, and put its head on Yunji's legs, very intimately, and then disappeared into the heavy fog and disappeared without a trace.
It is difficult for the phantom beast to recognize its owner, and Yunji has no intention of collecting this little mist turtle. Firstly, it is of little use, and secondly, there is no place to raise it.
Different phantom beasts have their own original auras. Once they leave their place of survival for too long, their auras will gradually weaken and eventually dissipate between heaven and earth.
Just like the big water spirit fish that Yunji once caught, it will gradually dissipate if kept in a water tank, and can only survive in the sea.
Looking at the tree hole, Yunji was thoughtful.
It's definitely not easy to seal the little mist turtle.
Not only did he have the means to capture the phantom beast, but he also knew the Mist-transforming Vine that could restrain the Little Mist Turtle, and even knew that the Little Mist Turtle could contain one mist egg in a year.
This is equivalent to treating the little fog turtle as a money tree. As long as you come once a year and collect an egg, you will have a continuous flow of money.
Over a hundred spiritual stones are brought in every year, which is not a small amount for any foundation-building disciple.
He must be a cruel guy, and he is very skilled in his methods.
After identifying the direction, Yunji left the basin area and continued towards the center of the forest.
As we went deeper, the fog became thicker and thicker. Thanks to the sword skills and free magic energy, Yunji was able to travel unimpeded.
The advantage of using the sword technique to dispel fog is that it has a very large range. With one strike of the sword, all the dense fog around it will be blown away.
But the disadvantages are also very obvious. When the fog clears, traces of some monster beasts will often be revealed.
The monster beasts that live in the core area of Lingxi Forest are mostly high-level, and they are all rough-skinned and fleshy species. The mist has corrosive power, and monsters with thin skin will have difficulty surviving.
As a result, the surrounding environment becomes more dangerous.
Once, Yunji casually swung his sword, and after blowing away the thick fog, he almost came face to face with a high-level curly-haired baboon.
The two were too close and immediately started fighting after seeing each other clearly.
Curly-haired baboons are extremely powerful, roaring like thunder, and their claws are as sharp as knives, and can break a boulder with just one scratch.
But Yunji is stronger. The three-layer dry ice art is combined with the top-quality magic weapon dry ice sword, and then it is activated by the power converted from the prisoner's arm armor. With one sword, the curly-haired baboon was chopped into pieces and fled.
Using sword techniques to dispel the mist makes too much noise, so I have to think of other ways...
Soon, a body was found in Yunji.
The corpse was that of a foundation-building disciple, with clear fang marks remaining on his neck. He was bitten to death by a monster.
Any experience involves danger of life and death. Every year, some of the disciples who come to Lingxi Forest to practice are buried here.
There are spiritual flowers, spiritual herbs and various materials in the forest, and there are also traps and dangers everywhere. No one can avoid the life and death crisis on the path of cultivation.
Although the man died, fortunately, the coir raincoat was still there, so Yunji put on his fellow disciple's shirt and continued to ride on the dangerous path of cultivation for him.
During the journey to dangerous places, some people died, some people became rich overnight, and of course, some people were on the road to becoming rich but were destined not to.
From the basin area outside the cave, a figure wearing a fog-breaking hat and a green robe trudged over.
This man was in a very good mood, humming a little tune all the way.
"I have a little turtle that I never eat. I keep it to lay turtle eggs for me to exchange for spiritual stones... Eh!"
The tree hole was completely empty, not to mention the eggs, and there was no trace of the mist-changing vine that sealed the tree hole.
He was so angry that he threw away the mist-breaking bamboo hat on his head. Xu Aogu pinched his waist and cursed loudly.
"Who! Which grandson stole my turtle eggs! I finally bought a bamboo hat and walked in step by step from outside. Damn it! The person who stole my turtle eggs is at odds with you!"
After cursing angrily for a long time, Xu Aogu angrily went to find the lost bamboo hat.
In order to save money, he did not buy an expensive mist-breaking raincoat but bought a mist-breaking hat. He trudged all the way from the outskirts of the forest and finally reached the place. Unexpectedly, the mist turtle he had spent so much time imprisoning actually ran away.
There was thick fog all around, and it took Xu Aogu a while to find the bamboo hat that he had thrown away in anger.
Fortunately, the bamboo hat was not broken.
But what are the furry claws holding down the hat?
