Arriving at the edge of a small, dead lake, Chen Yang saw from a distance a black gastroderma grass growing on the edge of the lake that was as tall as a person.
Several people's eyes couldn't help but light up. At this time, they saw the most valuable spiritual grass since they entered the ruins.
In the outside world, the century-old black gastrodia can only grow to knee height at most, but the black gastrodia here grows to the top of the head, which may be a thousand-year-old spiritual grass.
If it can be brought to the outside world, a thousand-year-old black gastrodia grass can be worth tens of thousands of spiritual stones, and it is priceless.
Zhang Qing couldn't help but rushed over, but Liu Zhi held him back.
"Wait a minute, there are usually ice toad nests around the environment where the black gastrodia grass grows. If you go there and alert the ice toad, you will definitely be surrounded by a group of them."
"Yes, I am too excited."
Zhang Qing scratched his head in embarrassment and quickly stood aside to let Liu Zhi make the decision.
According to Liu Zhi, the Ice Toad is a docile monster that generally does not attack passing creatures. It will only attack intruders when its nest is disturbed.
Therefore, you only need to approach quietly and collect them quietly, and you can escape without disturbing the Ice Toad.
Among the four, the female disciple was the most timid, so Liu Zhi asked her to only be responsible for guarding, while he, Chen Yang, and Zhang Qing went to collect it.
Just when a few people were about to set off, a swaying figure suddenly walked out of the black gastrodia bushes.
Taking a closer look, he saw a man in yellow clothes.
The clothes on the man's chest were stained with blood, and he was obviously seriously injured.
Chen Yang hurriedly squatted down and hid in the grass. Liu Zhi also pulled Zhang Qing and hid in time.
Therefore, the injured man did not notice the presence of several people.
The reason why they didn't go over to ask immediately was because they didn't know whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, whether they were really injured or were leading the enemy to move out, and whether there was an enemy ambush nearby.
It's better to take a look at the situation first.
Sure enough, just when the man in yellow stumbled out of the black gastrodia bush, he fell headfirst on the ground.
Another figure walked out of the grass.
This man had a beard, a tall figure, and carried a long knife on his shoulder.
"He is a disciple of the Tiandao Sect!"
Liu Zhi looked at Chen Yang and whispered.
The Tiandao Sect is also a medium-sized sect among the decent sects. Its disciples mainly use swords, supplemented by powerful physical skills, and the disciples are quite powerful.
Chen Yang's spiritual sense was detected and he quickly judged that this man had the peak strength of the outside scene. The man in yellow who was being chased by him was also in a similar state, but he was seriously injured and was unable to resist.
I saw a man in yellow holding up a jade slip and muttering something in his mouth. The jade slip gradually shone brightly and he was about to inspire.
Chen Yang recognized that this jade slip was the Thousand-mile Transmission Symbol used by the disciples of the Zheng sect, and it was exactly the same as the one in his hand.
Apparently the man in yellow was preparing to send a message before he died, revealing the identity of the Tiandao sect members who were chasing him.
Unfortunately, the big man from the Tiandao Sect walked up to the man in yellow, raised his long sword and brought it down with a slash, immediately cutting off the man in yellow's arm. The jade slip also fell to the ground, and the message could not be sent successfully.
"Want to inform fellow students? It's too late!"
"You collude with the Demon Sect and betray the right path, and you will not end well!"
The man in yellow covered his wrist and cursed with difficulty.
"Really? I'm sorry, the person who really colluded with the Demon Sect is your fellow sect brother. He asked me to kill you. If you want to seek revenge after death, go find him!"
The big man from the Tiandao Clan laughed ferociously and stabbed the man in yellow in the heart.
