The big black wooden stick was stirred in the round basin like black sesame paste in circles, and the threads it brought out took two seconds to disappear.
Inside the woodshed.
Lin Xin sat by the basin, holding a big stick in his hand and stirring in circles with an expressionless face.
There was no fire under the round basin, so Lin Xin moved several small black round jars from the side and opened the lid of one of them.
He carefully reached in with a pair of long chopsticks. When the chopsticks stretched out, there was a huge gray-white spider with a round belly on the end, about the size of a thumb.
The spider's belly has been rounded into a ball, like a balloon that seems to be inflated if you don't pay attention. The remaining eight legs are struggling at the end of the chopsticks with claws and teeth.
"Thirteen pregnant gray spiders..." Lin Xue quickly picked out thirteen gray and white female spiders from the jar, then quickly smashed them with a big stick and put them into the dark round basin.
After closing the lid, he took another jar from the side and opened the lid.
This time I put my chopsticks in and what came out was a large plaster-colored leech.
"Five live leeches..."
Lin Xin threw it in without mercy and continued to smash it with a big stick.
When the last jar was opened, it was as dark as sludge, and there was a rancid smell and stench inside.
"Fresh rotten black mud, three or two..." Lin Xin threw it in expressionlessly and continued to stir, but his heart and stomach were already churning.
Is this really edible?
He looked at the pot of black ointment with a foul and pungent smell in front of him, and he didn't know how many times he had struggled.
After stirring, he used the prepared mold to pour the black ointment into it in lumps, then sealed the outside with a layer of wax, sealed it well, and threw it into the water tank.
Then Lin Xin took a small jar of dye from the side, which was an oily red dye, and poured it gently along the edge of the water tank.
He didn't put down the jar until all the dye had been poured out and the water in the jar turned completely red.
I just sat there and waited for more than two hours.
hiss....
Suddenly, there was a faint hissing sound of gas leaking from the water tank.
Lin Xin's eyes were almost closed, but when he heard the sound, they opened them immediately.
"It's done!"
He quickly drained the water in the water tank and took out the mold inside. Thirty-one of the black balls the size of eyeballs were successful but leaked. The rest that did not leak failed.
"Thirty-one, that's enough..." Lin Xin looked at the black pill mold in front of him. All he had to do next was find the long-eared tiger.
"No wonder it's difficult for the inner family to succeed. Even if there is a way to return to the Yuan Dan, this medicine alone costs thousands of taels of silver. The cost of a medicine is indeed only a few hundred taels, but the success rate is too low.
..If I hadn’t been able to accurately memorize my body’s memory and perfectly replicate a successful brew. If it were someone else, I would probably have to use dozens more medicinal ingredients to achieve success.”
Lin Xin sighed in his heart, but this was only a semi-finished product, and it still needed the blood of the long-eared tiger to swallow it.
"As expected, the poor are rich in literature and rich in martial arts... Reading is a huge profit. As long as you read good books and gain fame, you can reach the sky in one step. Compared with practicing martial arts, it is much more cost-effective..."
"Next, it's time to find the long-eared tiger..." Lin Xin had a hunch that when he truly cultivated his inner energy and became an inner master, his attribute ability might give him a big surprise.
****************
The gray sky was covered with large ladder clouds, and the sun was blocked by the clouds, leaving only a faint white light shining down.
At noon.
On a winding gray driveway between the rolling black and green mountains, two men in white and green attire were leaning against the mountain wall, seemingly waiting for something quietly.
Soon, in the distant sky, a small black bird flew towards me and landed gently on the hand of one of the men.
He quickly took off the paper roll tied to the bird's leg and unfolded it to take a look.
"How is it?" another man asked in a low voice.
"Liu Da worship has already set off." Putting away the note, the man let the bird fly and breathed a sigh of relief.
"That Red Pine Gate is just a bluff, that Senior Brother Lao Shizi is just an embroidered pillow, and the most capable person inside the gate is that woman."
"But that's also a master of the family."
"So it's not enough to have only one worshipper. Two against one is absolutely foolproof! Besides, that woman's swordsmanship is inferior to that of the adults."
"It's best to wait until Lin Zhiwen can't relax his guard before taking action."
"This is natural."
*********************
The long-eared tiger is between four and six meters long and is as big as an ox. If most people think that it is bulky and slow in movement, they are wrong.
The long-eared tiger may not be as fast as many agile animals, but it is still much faster than humans.
In the dense forest, by a creek with a crack in the rocks, Lin Xin and An Ying were hiding in the grass. Their hands and faces were smeared with a green grass mud, which gave off the smell of green grass.
The two of them were squatting side by side, dressed in black and gray clothes, with long sleeves and trousers all tied up, looking inconspicuous. They were looking towards the creek through the gap between two big rocks.
In the early morning, there was still a hint of white mist in the forest, and there were already some wild animals coming to drink water at the edge of the creek.
The creek is surrounded by piles of gray-white rocks, tall and crooked trees, some vines such as creepers growing randomly along the trees and stones, and many unknown flowers, grasses, and plants of all kinds, giving the two
Hiding one's body shape brings great convenience.
Lin Xin looked through the cracks in the rocks. On the left side of the creek were some wild boars and wild deer bowing their heads in the river, while on the right a large area was occupied by a large golden cat with stripes all over its body.
This big cat stands as tall as a person and is at least five meters long. It is simply an enlarged version of the tigers Lin Xin has seen before.
What is particularly noteworthy is that its ears are very long, like two yellow pointed horns standing on top of its head.
This is the long-eared tiger, which dominates the forests near Red Pine Mountain.
It had been three days since Lin Xin and An Ying entered Linzi. Under the leadership of An Ying, a veteran who often went into the mountains to hunt game to fill their stomachs, it took them three days to finally find a long-eared tiger.
Long-eared tigers are very rare to begin with, and Hongsong Mountain is a place where rumors of long-eared tigers often occur. Lin Xin suspected that the reason why Hongsong Gate was originally located here was because there were traces of long-eared tigers here.
But finding the long-eared tiger is one thing, but how to do it is another.
The long-eared tiger is a very sensitive animal. Although its ears are long, its hearing is average. What is really powerful is its sense of smell. This is why Lin Xin and An Ying need to apply grass mud.
"What should we do now?" An Ying asked in a low voice. This guy had a fierce look in his eyes and was a little eager to try.
"Don't be anxious...don't be anxious...can you beat me head-on?" Lin Xin asked in a low voice, keeping his eyes on the long-eared tiger.
"I guess not... I have encountered it once before. It is very powerful and the explosion is very strong!" An Ying licked her lips and replied. "But we can use medicine!"
"Don't be anxious..." Lin Xin calmed down. Since the long-eared tiger is drinking water here, there is still a chance. The key is how to get rid of this big guy at once.
"You can't kill, because it requires warm blood. Take one pill at a time, six times a day, for five consecutive days. That means you have to capture it alive and bleed it for five consecutive days." Lin Xin felt a little helpless. Just dealing with such a big beast was too much.
It’s already very difficult, and we still have to capture them alive.
If An Ying hadn't been by his side, he would have felt his life was in danger even staying here.
After all, he can't outrun the king of beasts. Fortunately, An Ying is a master of the family, with amazing explosive power and strength. Although he can't beat the long-eared tiger, there is still no problem in leading him to climb a tree and run away. At least the long-eared tiger can't
Climb trees.
"The poisons left by my uncle are just right for use." An Ying suggested from the side.
Lin Xin rolled her eyes at her. After using poison, he still drank the blood from his fart. Wasn't he poisoning himself?
"It seems that we can only use Mongolian sweat medicine..."
Lin Xin made up his mind.
A few hours later, the sun was in the sky.
The long-eared tiger squatting by the creek and taking a nap suddenly turned his head slightly and twitched his nose.
In the grass not far from it, an injured doe was staggering and trying to escape, but its legs were entangled in several thick vines and could not move.
A bloody piece of skin was torn open on the doe's buttocks. The smell of blood floated over, causing the long-eared tiger to stick out its tongue and lick its mouth.
Ouch~~
It growled low, stood up slowly, and walked towards the doe calmly.
With a tiger's roar, the doe was so frightened that she fell to the ground, unable to get up.
Walking to the side of the doe, the long-eared tiger lowered his head, smelled the wound on the doe's buttocks, and shook his head.
"Eat... bite!!" Lin Xin kept urging in the distance. But the long-eared tiger was just hanging around, wandering around the doe, but would not bite.
Lin Xin was worried. He had put ten people's worth of Mongolian sweat medicine on the doe's wound. If the long-eared tiger bites it, he will definitely be infected.
"The long-eared tiger is very cunning." An Ying looked at him with a fierce look in her eyes, "I'd better go up and kill it."
"You can't beat me head-on." Lin Xin said angrily.
"Isn't it enough to put sweat on the sword?" An Ying just wanted to fight.
"Can you withstand a slap from it with a sword?" Lin Xin was speechless.
"How do you know if you haven't tried it?" An Ying was eager to try.
"You can come back later if it doesn't work." Lin Xin couldn't help it.
The long-eared tiger over there simply regarded the doe as a toy, and stretched out its paws to pat it around. It was so frightened that the doe became stiff and did not dare to move.
But half a day passed and it just didn't bite.
Lin Xin was anxiously waiting. The long-eared tiger on the other side was still calm and unhurried.
It's a pity that neither of them knows how to bow and arrow, otherwise they could shoot arrows while hiding in a tree. Just coat the arrows with sweat medicine.
Time passed bit by bit, and the long-eared tiger seemed to be tired of it. He looked around and saw no other creatures. Finally, he bit the doe on the buttocks.
"It's done...!" Lin Xin was about to clap his hands when he saw the long-eared tiger's mouth tilted, and it happened to avoid the area where the sweat medicine was applied, and bit another part of the thigh.
Lin Xin's excitement just now suddenly fell down again.
"This guy!"
"Sure enough." An Ying was also speechless.
Just when the two of them were distracted, the long-eared tiger suddenly exerted its strength and disappeared into the grass with a roar.
"Be careful!" An Ying stood up suddenly and drew her sword.
choke!
The sword blade stabbed forward to the right, and three points of white light flashed, which was the unique skill of Songyang Needle.
Ouch!!
A tiger's roar was so close.
Lin Xin's scalp was numb, and he felt a strong wind rushing toward him from the right front.
Hide? It’s too late!
Too close! The long-eared tiger was only a few meters away.
His burst of speed was too late, and the time it took for him to explode was only two blinks of an average person's eye.
It was almost an instinctive reaction, as if Lin Xin had rehearsed the action countless times, the sword at his waist suddenly unsheathed.
Straight thrust!!
There was no move, just a straight thrust, with almost perfect precision, aimed at the belly of the charging long-eared tiger.
