The environment in the basilisk's lair was not good. If you wanted to cook, you had to find a place. Xuan Yue saw the seriousness of Gu Zheng's words and quickly entered the inner demon bead. Gu Zheng took the inner demon bead and ran all the way to the exit of the snake cave.
There, Gu Zheng then entered the Heart Demon Pearl, and Xuan Yue, who revealed her true form, took the Heart Demon Pearl and rushed towards a place suitable for cooking that she found on the way here.
Flying does not delay communication, so on the way to the right place, Xuan Yue naturally asked Gu Zheng curiously: "Master, before I came to the Snake Cave, you said that it was 40% possible to remove the green spots in the inner elixir.
, now that we have obtained a snake egg in the snake cave and the inner elixir of the snake queen, what is the chance now?"
"The 40% before was just 40%, but now after going to the Snake Cave, the probability has become 80%, a real 80%!" Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Eighty percent? That's pretty good!"
Since Gu Zheng had said before that the world of space did not seem to be as easy as he initially imagined, Xuan Yue did not dare to give her 100% expectations. If she really had 100% expectations, she would not be disappointed at this time.
avoid.
"Master, how are we going to use the things we got to remove the green spots on the beads later?" Xuan Yue asked.
"It's cooking! I'll tell you how to handle these things, and you'll do it later."
Gu Zheng was talking about that time. In fact, before he could finish saying what he needed to say to Xuan Yue, the place suitable for cooking had already arrived.
There are four things that are useful in removing green spots on beads. These four things are lotus, cattail-like plants, snake eggs and snake gallbladder.
According to Gu Zheng's request, Xuan Yue first boiled the lotus into water, and then made a small opening on the snake egg.
"Why is this so?"
Xuan Yue, who was about to pour out the contents of the snake egg, exclaimed.
Xuan Yue had seen opened snake eggs in the snake cave before. The eggs of the basilisk were different from eggs. If they were freshly laid eggs, they would definitely contain egg white and yolk, but even if the eggs of the basilisk were just laid,
There were half-completed little snake monsters inside. However, when Xuan Yue opened the snake egg, the egg white and yolk inside were mixed together like beaten egg liquid.
"It's normal, this is a stillborn fetus in a snake egg!" Gu Zheng said.
"Stillborn?" Xuan Yue frowned.
"Yes! The snake queen's ability to lay eggs is very strong, but some of them are stillbirths, and even if they are not stillbirths, not all of those little snakes can grow up safely. Otherwise, just with their terrifying egg-laying ability, the basilisk will
One clan can also wipe out the monkey clan." Gu Zheng said.
"So, the eggs that were sent into the cave wall by snakes at the bottom of the tunnel were all good snake eggs, and the ones left behind were stillborn?"
Although Xuan Yue was asking questions, her hands were not idle. She had already poured out all the egg liquid in the snake eggs, and put in the boiling water, the bile of the snake gallbladder, and the beads.
into the eggshell, and then put the eggshell on the fire.
"You can basically say that!"
After Gu Zheng said these words, neither the master nor the disciple could finish their words for a moment, because under the control of Xuan Yue's Fire Control Technique, the flames burned the bottom of the eggshell, and the water in the eggshell had boiled. Next, we need to
Gu Zheng paid attention to the changes in the beads in the eggshell, and was ready to remind Xuan Yue how to operate.
"Get the beads out!"
Gu Zheng spoke at the right time, and Xuan Yue, who had been on standby for a long time, immediately fished out the bead, and saw that the green spots that originally occupied about one-third of the bead's total area had now become one-quarter.
And removing green spots in this way has no impact on the beads themselves.
Let Xuan Yue take out the beads at this time, because the eggshell needs to be added with ingredients at this time, and the ingredient added is something like a cattail stick.
The Pu stick had been handled by Xuan Yue before. It was burned to ashes by Xuan Yue with her natal true fire. When Xuan Yue put the Pu stick ashes into the eggshell, the small amount of liquid in the egg shell immediately appeared.
The foam almost overflowed from the top of the eggshell.
Under Gu Zheng's command, Xuan Yue used a spoon to scoop out some of the foam. After the stirred up liquid became calm again, she put the beads into it again.
What happened next was nothing special. Xuan Yue flipped the beads in the eggshell several times under Gu Zheng's guidance.
When the liquid in the eggshell is about to dry up, a large amount of mist is produced, making it impossible to see the beads in the eggshell.
Xuan Yue's heart was lifted. When she could see the beads before, the green spots on the beads were only the size of a fingernail. She expected that when the fog dissipated, all the green spots on the beads would fade away.
However, things did not develop as Xuan Yue expected. After the fog in the eggshell dissipated, Xuan Yue discovered that the green spot on the bead had not completely faded away. It had only grown from the size of a thumbnail to a little fingernail.
It's just that big.
"Master, this is not successful, right?" Xuan Yue hesitated.
"It's okay, I'm only 80% sure."
Gu Zheng smiled slightly: "However, even if it fails, there is only such a big green spot left. I think it should give me a new special feeling."
Gu Zheng closed his eyes, took the beads in his hands and slowly twisted them. Xuan Yue knew that he was pursuing that wonderful feeling again, so she waited quietly on the side.
After a while, Gu Zheng opened his eyes.
"Master, how are you?" Xuan Yue asked.
"We have indeed captured a special feeling. This special feeling points to the north. I think it should be guiding the northern tribes, so we will go to the northern tribes next." Gu Zheng said.
Xuan Yue and Gu Zheng were on the road again, and Gu Zheng entered the Heart Demon Bead, and Xuan Yue flew with the Heart Demon Bead.
Half a day has passed, and we are only halfway to the northern tribe. The landscape below has also changed, and the dense forest has turned into a mountainous area. Although there are also various trees, they are no longer so dense.
Although Gu Zheng is in the Heart Demon Bead, the Heart Demon Bead is like a magical shield to him, which can protect him but will not affect his vision and feelings.
Gu Zheng couldn't help but frown, and Gu Zheng smelled a kind of smell. This kind of smell was a bit weird, like the kind of smell that treasures from heaven and earth are about to mature, but it was relatively weak.
"Xuan Yue, fly south!" Gu Zheng said.
"Huh? What's wrong, Master?" Xuan Yue asked curiously.
"There are strange treasures over there!"
After hearing what Gu Zheng said about the treasures of heaven and earth, Xuan Yue immediately changed the direction of flight, and at the same time did not forget to ask: "Master, what are the strange treasures of heaven and earth?"
"Tiancai Dibao will emit a special fragrance. This fragrance will spread farther and farther as it grows. When it is about to mature, in addition to the fragrance reaching an exaggerated level, it will also
It will emit a strange fluctuation. The special fragrance I smell is indeed a natural treasure, but this fragrance has an aura of decay!" Gu Zheng said.
"The breath of decay?" Xuan Yue murmured.
"That's right, it's the smell of decay. There are only two possibilities for this kind of smell. Either there are no living beings picking the treasures from heaven and earth, causing it to change from maturity to decay. Another possibility is that the treasures from heaven and earth have not yet been harvested.
It was picked off by something when it was fully mature, so there is this kind of decay in the breath." Gu Zheng said.
"Then which one does Master think is the most likely?" Xuan Yue asked again.
"I don't know. I have only heard of these two situations and have never encountered them before." Gu Zheng said.
The master and the apprentice were not saying anything. When Xuan Yue flew over a mountain, they saw several figures fighting.
There are five fighting figures in total, one is a ferocious beast with wings that looks like a strange beast, one is a standing monster with antlers, one is a monster with a snake head and a human body, and two others look like they are being used by people.
A straw man made of straw.
Among the five fighting figures, the straw man is the most peculiar existence. Gu Zheng has never seen this kind of life before. They are like real people, but with straw-like skin. Moreover, these two straw men are the same.
One big and one small. The big one is about the same height as an adult and has four arms. The smaller one is about the size of a teenage child. At first glance, it seems to have only two arms, but in fact, it has two arms.
There are two protrusions on both sides. If you look closely, they are actually two ungrown arms.
In addition to the five fighting figures present, there were more than thirty corpses lying on the ground! As for the treasure of heaven and earth that exudes a rotten smell, it is a fruit like a cantaloupe.
He was being grasped by the big straw man.
Anger arose in Gu Zheng's heart. For fairy chefs, food ingredients have a very important place in their hearts. Now when they see a natural treasure being picked off by these monsters before they are mature, they naturally feel hatred in their hearts.
Full! It feels like a person with a strong hobby of collecting sees a rare collection broken into pieces.
"Hmph!"
Gu Zheng sneered in the inner demon bead. Xuan Yue was already quite familiar with Gu Zheng's temper. She immediately asked: "Master, do you want me to kill these guys?"
"Keep those who can search for souls. If you can't keep them, kill them!"
Gu Zheng gave the order, and Xuan Yue immediately rushed towards the battlefield. She had already seen that the highest strength of these guys who were fighting was only equivalent to the peak of god transformation. This kind of existence was very different from her strength which was equivalent to the middle stage of returning to the void.
Big gap.
Although she was not afraid of the monsters on the battlefield, in order to leave a being who could search for souls, Xuan Yue did not intervene explicitly. She flew over while using the invisibility technique.
Xuan Yue originally thought that the five monsters in the field would not notice her because of the invisibility technique, but the two scarecrows looked unnaturally in the direction in which she flew.
"Has it been discovered?"
Xuan Yue murmured in her heart that the two scarecrows had no expressions, which made it difficult for her to judge for a moment. However, the next moment Xuan Yue understood that she had really been discovered by the two scarecrows, because these two guys started to run away.
!
Because the big scarecrow was holding a treasure of heaven and earth, its escape was immediately intercepted by three other monsters. As for the smaller scarecrow, it was not blocked from escaping. After all, the other three monsters in the field
If you wish to reduce its resistance, you will naturally not stop it from escaping.
Although Xuan Yue was a little depressed, her invincible invisibility technique was first discovered by the Queen of Snakes, and now by the two scarecrows, but since the big scarecrow holding the treasures of heaven and earth did not escape, everything will not have much impact.
.
Xuan Yue suddenly appeared after entering the battlefield, and the power of extreme cold condensed into spikes like ice swords in her hands. She used these spikes to pierce the heart of the Qiongqi monster.
The opponent who suddenly appeared used thunderous means to kill the Qiongqi monster. The three monsters present, even the scarecrow who had sensed Xuan Yue's approach before, were still startled.
There was no communication, but the three monsters reacted in the same way, and they all launched attacks on Xuan Yue.
Xuan Yue was one against three and was not at a disadvantage. She quickly froze the scarecrow and took the opportunity to snatch the treasures of heaven and earth from its hands.
Seeing that the treasures of heaven and earth were snatched away by Xuan Yue, the snake demon and the deer-horned monster attacked Xuan Yue like crazy. They were so desperate that when the snake demon wanted to bite Xuan Yue, Xuan Yue still
Just like how you dealt with the previous snake queen, let it swallow itself into its mouth, and then released the extreme cold power mercilessly, instantly freezing the snake demon's head into an ice pimple, and after falling to the ground, it became
A pile of ice particles.
Originally, he still wanted to take back the heavenly materials and earthly treasures desperately, but the death of the snake demon made the Deerclops wake up, and it no longer coveted the heavenly materials and earthly treasures and flew towards the distance.
It didn't take Xuan Yue much time to deal with the snake monster, so she, who could still see the deerclops figure, immediately revealed her true body and chased after the deerclops.
The Deerclops, which was not as advanced as Xuan Yue and could not fly as fast as Xuan Yue, was soon caught up by Xuan Yue. When Xuan Yue pushed a palm towards the back of the Deerclops, the Deerclops suddenly turned around and not only used its palm to fight against Xuan Yue,
The wind from Yue's palm also shot the two antlers on her head towards Xuan Yue.
Xuan Yue flew upside down, and as her wings flapped, countless feathery air streams shot out.
There was an explosion in the air, and the Deerclops' horns exploded in the air. Most of the feathery airflow was blown away, but some of the airflow still hit its body, causing it to fall from the sky.
Xuan Yue caught up with the falling Deerclops and slapped it three times in a row. These three palms not only beat the Deerclops half to death, but also sealed its demonic power, making it easier to search for its soul.
Xuan Yue did not immediately search for the soul of the Deerclops. After all, the battlefield over there was not clean yet, and there was a frozen scarecrow waiting for her. Rather than searching for the soul of the Deerclops, she wanted to first search for the soul that could see through her.
Retrograde scarecrow.
When Xuan Yue returned to the battlefield with the Deerclops, the scarecrow was still frozen. Xuan Yue waved to the scarecrow, and the ice that had frozen the scarecrow began to melt. However, something Xuan Yue did not expect happened. When the scarecrow
After the ice on her body melted, before she could start searching for the soul, the scarecrow started to burn automatically. Not even Xuan Yue's extreme cold power could stop this burning. She could only watch it burn to ashes.
.
"Master, what's going on?"
Xuan Yue asked Gu Zheng curiously.
"My teacher also thought that the scarecrow could be soul-searched. After all, although its skin looks like straw, it is actually very intelligent. But who would have thought that it could really burn like straw."
Gu Zheng's voice paused, then he frowned and said again: "Perhaps this thing is originally made from straw!"
"What does straw become like this?"
Xuan Yue's eyes widened, because Gu Zheng's explanation seemed to be very meaningful.
"Yes, maybe it is a person created by someone using the way of life!"
Since Xuan Yue asked again, Gu Zheng revealed the original meaning of his words.
In the ontology era, Gu Zheng was a powerful person who controlled the Tao of Life. He could use many things as carriers to create life, but now he does not have this ability. He just feels that the scarecrow is a product created by the Tao of Life.
"A person created by the way of life? So who will this creator be? Isn't he the master of the fairy-level space?" Xuan Yue asked.
"It should be him!"
Gu Zheng murmured: "If it is really him, maybe it was a mistake for us to let the little scarecrow go!"
"Master, do you want me to chase you now and maybe I can find the little scarecrow that escaped?" Xuan Yue asked again.
"No need, the direction that the little scarecrow ran away is to the north. I also have a feeling in my heart that this kind of scarecrow belongs to the northern tribe."
After hearing what Gu Zheng said, Xuan Yue said nothing more and started searching for the soul of the half-dead deer-cloaked monster.
Searching for the soul of the Deerclops is to learn more about this world. What Xuan Yue and the others want to know the most is to see if there are any clues that can lead to leaving this world.
Xuan Yue's soul-searching Deerclops did not find any clues that could leave this world, but she found two messages from the Deerclops' memory. One message was to fly south from here, and you can see a cave in half a day's journey.
There is a monster living in it, and that monster is guarding a treasure. Another message is that the scarecrow is indeed from the tribe in the north, and there are more than 40 scarecrows of various sizes in that tribe.
"Treasure? What kind of treasure?"
After hearing what Xuan Yue said, Gu Zheng frowned slightly. What Xuan Yue said before was not detailed, so he didn't know the details.
Facing Gu Zheng's inquiry, Xuan Yue explained in detail the things about the treasure in the Deerclops' memory.
It turns out that this deer-horned monster is a rare monster with two inner elixirs, but it accidentally entered the cave three hundred years ago and was killed by a toad monster in the cave.
The toad monster was trapped in the cave. After it took care of the Deerclops, it took away one of the Deerclops' inner elixirs. Otherwise, the Deerclops' strength should be higher than Xuan Yue. In order to get back the lost inner elixir,
The Deerclops has almost become a servant of the toad monster, and it must regularly send some food to the toad monster.
As for the treasure guarded by the toad monster, the Deerclops actually doesn't know. The reason why it mistakenly entered the cave in the first place was actually attracted by the fluctuations emitted by the treasure. Every time it went to the cave, it would also
You can feel the attraction coming from the belly of the toad monster. According to the Deerclops' guess, the treasure should have been sacrificed by the toad monster as a natal demon weapon. As for why the toad monster can't leave the cave,
The toad monster didn't say anything himself, and the Deerclops didn't dare to ask.
