"Miss, there is no hope, let's move on!" the deputy captain of the herb collection team, who was over fifty years old, sighed and suggested.
Ling Xiaoxue nodded, stood up and said: "Everyone, the Bloody Forest is extremely dangerous, and various accidents will inevitably happen. But don't worry, the deceased will not die in vain. The Ling family will compensate your family members with 100,000 taels of silver, and the others with 10,000 taels each.
, it will also be effective if I am unfortunately killed."
"Miss, you are such a good person! This will put us at ease."
"Well, as a warrior, it's normal for accidents to happen. What I'm afraid of is that my family will lose support."
There are only six Ningzhen Realm warriors among the members of the guard, and the rest are all Qi Practicing Realm practitioners. With their strength, even if they hunt monsters every day, it will take them several months to earn one hundred thousand taels of silver. However,
This is impossible. Anyone who can stay in a place where monsters gather every day will probably be hunted in less than three days. So normally, it takes an ordinary Qi-training realm warrior more than five years to earn one hundred thousand.
Two, you still need to stay alive. After all, if you are unlucky, you may encounter a high-level monster and you will not be able to escape.
Now Ling Xiaoxue compensated the family members of the deceased with 100,000 taels of silver at once, which was equivalent to eliminating their worries, so that they did not have to worry about the future life of their family members, and the survivors also received 10,000 taels of silver, which further increased their fighting spirit.
"This woman has the temperament of a superior." Ling Xiaoxue's actions made Ye Chen secretly nod.
The dead are dead, and the remaining people still have to continue on their way.
As they gradually deepened, everyone seemed to have entered another world, completely isolated from the bustling city.
The Bloody Forest is worthy of its title of Bloody Forest. Thirty miles away, everyone was attacked by four waves of monsters.
The first wave is three underground demon rats, which are level two monsters.
The second wave is a large group of kraits, which are level two monsters.
The third wave is five scorpion-tailed demon wolves, which are the top level three monsters.
The fourth wave is a blind, powerful rock bear, a level four monster.
In the third and fourth waves of monster attacks, no one was killed or even injured. However, in the first and second wave of monster attacks, four people from the escort team and herb collection team died. If it weren't for Ye Chen and others
If you react quickly and take action in time, it is not impossible to get more than half of the casualties.
The underground demon rat is not very strong. If it is encountered normally, a warrior at the seventh or eighth level of the Qi Training Realm can defeat it. It does not require any effort. But when it is lurking underground, it is a Qi Training Realm warrior or even an early stage Condensation Realm warrior.
A warrior's nightmare.
Among the guards, a warrior who had reached the tenth level of the Qi Training Realm was dragged into a deep cave by the underground demon rat without any resistance. The screams lasted for a long time before it stopped. The second and third
The three underground demon rats were unlucky and set their sights on Ye Chen and Yuan Xuemei. Before they could emerge from the soil, they activated their Qi and were shocked to death underground. The other one was frightened.
Also ran away.
If the underground demonic rat cast a shadow in everyone's heart, then the second wave of monster attacks and a large group of silver krait made them fearful.
The bungara snake is a second-level monster with an oval-shaped head. There are white and black rings alternately arranged on the back of the body. The white ring is narrow, the tail is slender, the body length reaches three or four meters, the arms are thick, and the toxicity is higher than that of dark green snakes.
The poisonous dragon spider is slightly weaker, but if a Ningzhen realm warrior is bitten, he will die of respiratory failure in a short time, making it very troublesome to treat.
The attack of the bungara snake is very strange. It pounces from all directions on the treetops, in the grass, and under the fallen leaves. The momentum it creates is like a violent storm, extremely crazy.
At the critical moment, Wang Feng, a disciple of Beixue Villa, used the Blizzard Sword Technique. Wherever the icy sword force passed, the Bungara snakes immediately slowed down, and those that were close were cut into pieces of flesh and flew in all directions.
He was able to stop most of the bungara snakes with one person.
Ye Chen and Yuan Xuemei were not vegetarians either. They used their useful martial arts to kill the Bungara snake ten steps away.
Unfortunately, the scope of protection that a few people could protect was limited. One member of the herb collection team and two members of the escort team were bitten by dozens of bungara snakes. They died of the poison and fell to the ground.
Ling Xiaoxue's face is very pale, not only because there are more and more monsters approaching the depths of the Bloody Forest, but also partly because too many people have died and the amount of compensation required is too large. It's not that she is stingy, this time
Just hiring five sect disciples cost 100,000 taels of gold and 50 Yiqi Healing Pills. The total value was nearly 250,000 taels of gold, which converted into silver is 2.5 million taels. Now the five people who died are compensated.
Five million taels, each of the survivors is 10,000 taels, which adds up to more than 3.5 million taels. If more people die next, the number will exceed five million taels.
For a small family like the Ling family, five million taels is enough to strain their muscles and bones, and it is easy for them to suffer from poor turnover, and poor turnover will usually make a small family go bankrupt.
Biting her lower lip, Ling Xiaoxue hoped that there would be good results next.
After walking another ten or so miles, Ye Chen suddenly felt that the vitality of the world around him was much richer, and a faint mist could be seen in the distance.
Ling Xiaoxue obviously felt the change in vitality, and said in an excited tone: "The place for collecting herbs is coming soon, let's work harder."
"oh!"
Everyone in the Ling family couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. Their nerves were tense all the way and they didn't dare to relax. They were afraid that if they relaxed, they would become the prey of monsters and would never be able to leave the Bloody Forest and return.
To your own warm home.
Fortunately, hard work always pays off. Once you finish collecting the medicine, it should be much easier to go back.
After a while.
Everyone came to a huge basin and looked around. The entire basin was several miles in size. It was lush and full of various herbs. There were black rings...silver bells...golden beads and iron blood...tianxinghua, centipede flowers, etc.
Vermilion fruit, black snake fruit, seven stars... three-color jujube trees, winterless jujube trees, nearly hundreds of kinds of herbs, large and small, and rich spiritual energy gathered in the sky, forming a light mist, looming, like a fairyland on earth, mist
The victorious state.
"A lot of herbs." The eyes of the members of the herb collection team shined and their breathing accelerated. These herbs may not be valuable individually, but the quantity is very scary. If they can all be collected back, they can be sold for one or two million without the need to refine the medicine.
If two taels of silver are refined into a pill, the price will be ten times higher. It is not a problem to earn ten million taels of silver. However, some precious herbs cost more than this. For example, the Golden Pearl Iron Blood Grass that refines the Yiqi Healing Pill is a rare herb.
One plant can be sold for one thousand taels of gold, which is more expensive than a good weapon.
Ling Xiaoxue's face showed joy, but she was not carried away by the excitement. She ordered: "Two members of the escort team are protecting a member of the herb collection team and they are separated. If there is any situation, don't make your own decisions. Report it to me immediately."
"yes!"
Along the way, the members of the escort team made a lot of contributions. If they had not protected the members of the herb collection team in the center, more people would have died, but it was all worth it. In addition to the silver they should receive, each person could also get an additional ten thousand taels.
The amount of silver is equivalent to the usual harvest in several months.
After arranging their respective tasks, Ling Xiaoxue also joined in the process of collecting herbs, exclaiming from time to time. Apparently some herbs were very valuable.
Yuan Xuemei smiled and said: "This basin is rich in vitality, and there may be some monsters there. The five of us will patrol everywhere!"
Ye Chen nodded, "That's right, everyone likes to be responsible for their own direction."
"OK."
Using people's money to eliminate disasters for others, the five of them each occupied a position, patrolled back and forth, and occasionally collected some needed herbs and put them into the storage ring.
