Next, Xiao Yu and the uncle who led the way began to search in the dense forest near the lake. However, there was no prey around the forest. Even hares were difficult to find. There were a lot of snake skins. These snakes shed their skins.
They were all hanging on the surrounding giant trees, as if they had been there for a long time, about four or five of them.
"This area should be the territory of the yellow python, otherwise why wouldn't there be even a single wild animal?" Ghost Corpse and Xiao Yu walked side by side and whispered.
"It is possible that this is indeed a dead land. The only living creatures here are probably us and the yellow python. Now we are afraid that we have become prey, and that thing is thinking about how to cause trouble at night."
Xiao Yu also said in a deep voice, thinking about how to deal with this situation at night. The yellow python appeared for a short time before, and Xiao Yu didn't notice the opponent's cultivation level, but judging from the opponent's size
, he must also be a little demon, but he doesn’t know what the other party is capable of.
Generally, for little monsters with low cultivation level, Xiao Yu only needs to release the mouse and scare it a little, so that the other party will not dare to cause trouble. However, if the cultivation level of this yellow python is high, not only can the mouse not be frightened, but it will lose its life.
Become food for others.
The uncle who led the way also had an ugly look on his face. He squatted down from time to time to check whether there were any traces of wild animals passing by. After a lot of searching, he finally found something.
"These feces are more than ten hours old, which means that there are still wild animals coming, and we have walked so far around, there is basically no water source, which means that at night, there will be animals gathering to drink water, but the time is very short."
.
The uncle who led the way sat on a big rock and told Xiao Yu and others the news he had received.
"If this is the case, then we don't need to look here. We can go back and make a few traps and wait for the prey to be trapped. Or we can do nothing and hide in the bushes and wait for the prey. This will definitely yield a big harvest."
"What the little master said is right. This is the only thing we can do now. We should go back and think of a way early. Even if the prey doesn't come at night, we still have to think of a way to spend the night. Otherwise, it will be too late to go back when it gets dark."
"Okay, let's go back now. Let's take a look at the mushrooms and take some back with us."
Several people immediately made a decision and returned the way they came. In fact, Xiao Yu came in to find medicinal materials, but his luck seemed to have run out in the Earth Spirit Mushroom incident. Until now, he has basically not gotten anything good.
thing.
Xiao Yu searched carefully in some shrubs, but most of what he saw were ordinary medicinal materials, and he didn't even find any medicinal materials that were more than ten years old!
But even so, he still looked for it very seriously, and kept walking towards the dense shrubs, and of course some taller trees. Many of these trees were as big as two people hugging each other, and they looked like pillars supporting the sky.
It makes people feel dizzy just by looking up.
"Xiao Yu, come on, what do you think that is?" The ghost corpse squatted behind a tree and looked into the distance with a surprised look on his face.
When Xiao Yu heard this, he also rushed over and looked at where the ghost corpse was pointing, his face couldn't help but bloom with joy.
On the top of a giant tree in front, there are small red trees as thick as a thumb, like a ball of flame, growing on the giant tree.
"It's a companion grass. It looks like it's fifty years old. It's really a good thing. Let's go...".
Companion grass is a medicinal herb that grows with plants. It usually grows on tall plants, and its roots are embedded in the big trees to absorb nutrients. Most people only use their grass leaves to make medicine, but they don’t know that the roots of the companion grass are the medicinal materials.
The most precious place.
The roots of half-grown grass are rooted in big trees. Over the years, the roots will condense into companion bones. No matter what kind of medicinal herbs, they will go through spring, summer, autumn and winter. In winter, this companion grass will store all the medicinal properties in its body into the roots.
, over the years, that kind of companion bone appears at the root.
In the past, Xiao Yu had no idea that there was such a thing in the root, but after receiving the inheritance from the King of Medicine, he knew that there was such a treasure in the root.
However, wherever strange medicines are found, there will be strange beasts guarding them. It is impossible for the companion grass to grow here without the monsters knowing about it, so Xiao Yu and the two were very careful when they went there, for fear of disturbing something.
On the grass surrounding the medicinal materials, there are many green plants growing, which look like fern-like weeds. The roots of these weeds can also be used as medicine, but they are so common that they can also be seen in the mountains outside.
As they got closer and closer to the companion grass, Xiao Yu and his two paces also became slower and slower. When they were less than ten meters away from the companion grass, there was a sudden flapping sound from the tree overhead, like a bird flying.
But then there was no movement.
"Be careful and watch your surroundings."
Xiao Yu whispered something, and then slowly moved forward. However, after taking two steps, his feet suddenly became empty, and his whole body immediately fell downwards, but he was grabbed by the ghost corpse from behind.
"Damn it, who set a trap here?"
Xiao Yu cursed secretly, and was grabbed by the ghost corpse, and then lifted up.
After getting out of the trap, the two of them lay down on the edge and looked down. They saw that this was not a trap, but a beast's nest. There were some eggshells in the nest, like eggs laid by some oviparous animals!
On the edge of the eggshell, there is a piece of snake skin. This snake skin is not very big, but it looks not small either. It is estimated to be as thick as an adult's arm.
"Snake eggs? They look like they were from last year. There are seven or eight of these snake eggs, which means there are a lot of snakes around us. So where did these snakes go?"
Xiao Yu whispered something, but did not see a huge red python slowly approaching them on the giant tree above their heads.
The red python is as thick as a football, with scales on its body like fish scales, and two protrusions on its head, as if it will grow horns at any time.
"Go, pick it up quickly, lest you have a long night and many dreams."
Xiao Yu felt that the surroundings were too quiet, not even the chirping of birds, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed. After saying something, he jumped directly to the edge of the giant tree. Then he took out a military dagger and began to cut the dry skin of the giant tree.
Tear it open and look for the companion bone.
At this moment, the red python on the tree slowly slid downwards. Because it was so big, some dead branches on the tree it touched made a snapping sound when sliding.
The ghost corpse heard the sound and hurriedly looked up, only to see the red python entangled on the giant tree, like a red dragon, with its thick body wrapped around the giant tree, like a thick red vine, and two ping pong balls.
Such eyes were staring closely at Xiao Yu's every move.
"Be careful, there's a snake up there."
The ghost corpse shouted softly, as if it was afraid of disturbing the things above!
The red python heard the sound, glanced at the ghost corpse, and then its body sank faster. The bark on the giant tree creaked continuously under its huge body.
When Xiao Yu heard the reminder, his heart suddenly trembled, and then he ignored the accompanying grass and flashed to the side.
At the same time, the red python also bit down on Xiao Yu's position, but it missed the target and hit the open space where Xiao Yu was standing. There was only a roar and the ground trembled slightly.
