Chapter 446 The Junior Sister Doesn’t Want to Be the Group Favorite 78

The time has come on the thirteenth day.

The green ahead is getting thicker.

Before Tao Ran could be happy, she saw clearly that the green was not the forest she was thinking of, but the grassland...

Bad luck, as always.

The map now becomes clearer.

To reach the nearest forest, she had to cross a grassland and then a swamp. The journey is not close. Depending on the distance, it may take several days.

But if she chooses to go left, she will enter a desert again, which Tao Ran absolutely does not want.

If you go to the right, the distance to the dense forest is further.

Tao Ran was speechless as she gritted her molar teeth. She had no better choice but to go all the way to the end.

…

However, Tao Ran's mood was not too bad.

Because after getting on the queen bee harness and going on her way, she carefully examined what she had gotten from the poisonous ant nest this time.

It turned out that she was right. There are not many living things and plants in this desolate place, and it is impossible for poisonous ants to make a living by eating animals, fruits or seeds. If they can survive in large numbers, they naturally have other living supplies...

In the "warehouse" of the poisonous ants, there are high-grade Elaeagnus angustifolia that Tao Ran has never seen before, Jiuzhuan Fire Ginseng and giant Cistanche deserticola growing underground, as well as a large number of top-grade Cordyceps Sinensis, Jinzhi, Zizhi, and Jiuteng Demon. Fruit, groundroot...

The richness of the categories exceeded Tao Ran’s prediction.

She doesn't have earth spirit roots, so she can't arouse the resonance of the earth. She has discovered almost none of these things along the way.

These should be the daily rations of the poisonous ants, accounting for half of the poisonous ant collection.

In addition to these, there are also many complete insect corpses. For example, the starburst beetles, iron-toothed locusts, etc. that Tao Ran had only seen in books, many of them were still alive...

She also found a colorful quicksand stone.

This is a treasure bred in the Gobi Desert, shining with colorful light and exuding abundant spiritual energy. It can be said to be a rare treasure of heaven and earth. Just for this little thing, her trip was worth it.

Along the way, she was doing the classification calmly.

But while rummaging around, she quickly discovered some human bones.

Psychic exploration revealed that these were the bones of the same person. It's a pity that after a long time, only a small part of it was pieced together. It seems that most of the bones have weathered and disappeared.

But she also found a storage ring. It’s a harvest…

Entering the grassland is a different atmosphere.

It's much more lively here.

Wild beasts appear in turn. The fighting also goes on.

In order to seize the time, they did not stop too much as before, except when they saw two groups of ferocious beasts fighting to the death, or when they were exhausted... Tao Ran would lead her troops to rely on force attacks to pick up a leak...

Their principles are: not to take the initiative, not to be too fond of fighting, not to get involved in fights easily, and never to participate if there is no profit.

After a while, I gained a little bit.

Tao Ran captured more than a dozen ferocious beasts of level 4 and above, and also succeeded in snatching food from a group of level 5 eagles using his brain power...

He got a lot of animal meat and a dozen demon pills. Seeing the little python salivating, Tao Ran decided to make a big one. She wants to earn some food for her spirit beasts.

She had no intention of taking action.

Too tired.

It’s also too difficult to fight.

If her cultivation level is not enough, a fifth-level ferocious beast would be enough to keep her busy. The cost is too high and the efficiency is too low.

So she did what she was good at, such as making trouble, and then sat back and watched the tigers fight, and finally there was an oriole behind.

Simple!

After arriving at the center of the grassland, she quickly followed a group of four-eared gray wolves. These guys are social animals. There are nearly a hundred of them in total. They are a force that cannot be ignored in this grassland.

Tao Ran locked the location of their nest and sent a group of spirit bees to keep an eye on it as sentries.

She quickly locked onto a group of fifth-level fire-eyed lions. There were only a dozen of them in this group, but in Tao Ran's eyes, this number was just right.

She once again relied on the wood spirit to disguise herself, successfully shielded her breath, and hid in a tree.

In the evening, it is hunting time.

The Lion King took a group of young and strong lionesses out for hunting, leaving only four lions.

One of them is old, the other is injured, and the remaining lion should be left to protect the den.

After confirming that the Lion King was dozens of miles away and spying on the situation of the Lion's den, Tao Ran took action.

It would be better to throw a thunder talisman into the sky that only makes noise and is of no use, and rely on the roar of thunder to cover up the possible message from the four lions.

Hearing the thunder, the strong lion came out to observe.

The moment it stepped out, it was stunned.

It was lost in a cloud of smoke and nothing could be seen.

The moment it panicked and wanted to retreat, Tao Ran's whip had already tightened around its body. The sharp blade on the whip was fully opened, and the whip body and blade were filled with poison, which penetrated directly into its flesh and bone marrow, causing the fire-eyed lion to howl.

The little python saw the opportunity and strangled its neck directly, biting it in one bite.

The combined effects of the three poisons meant that even though the lion was already at level five, he couldn't survive it at all.

It was only a matter of time before it fell.

Tao Ran lost no time and threw the handle of the whip to the queen bee, letting her take charge of reining in the lion with the little python. Tao Ran himself saw the three lions coming out of the cave after hearing the sound, and threw the three freezing talismans out.

Being well prepared is better and saves effort.

So the three lions were frozen in place before they could react to what happened.

They are all fifth-level ferocious beasts, and the freezing talisman can only work for about three seconds at most. But when fighting, even just one second may determine the outcome of the battle.

Two of the three lions were seriously injured and had insufficient counterattack power. The other one was old and had bad legs and feet. No matter how powerful these three half-wasted people are, they cannot be Tao Ran's opponents.

This time, Tao Ran didn't plan to use poison. She also wanted to be alive, so she took the swarm and beat her alive.

The freezing effect was quickly lifted, and the Fire-Eyed Lion began to counterattack. Wherever their sharp claws struck, they were filled with high-temperature flames and firelight, but it was of no use.

Before entering the secret realm, Tao Ran and his spiritual pets had been practicing for a long time. They cooperated tacitly and were flexible. Although the three lions tried hard, they could not hit them at all.

The muscular lioness on the other side also fell to the ground motionless with poisonous hair, and the little python and the queen bee also joined the fight on Tao Ran's side.

The battle was one-sided.

After only a few dozen breaths, the three fire-eyed lions were all injured and fell to the ground, dying.

Tao Ran was not polite and gave them a few blows in turn to knock them unconscious.

Then it was time to clean up the battlefield again.

Afraid that the lions would leave and come back, they had to hurry up.

A swarm of bees stood guard outside, observing what was going on around them.

Tao Ran first collected the body of the poisoned fire-eyed lion and wiped away the smell of poison and talisman.

Then he entered the lion cave and conducted a search as before. Not much. The lions were not vegetarians and had no spiritual flowers, grass or plants at all. However, they found an injured fifth-level leopard that was not dead and a half-eaten beast that could not be seen as it was...

When the leopard saw Tao Ran, it actually raised its two front legs and bent them in front of its chest. Whether it was asking for help, thanking you, or begging for mercy, that look reminded Tao Ran of the queen bee back then. So Tao Ran didn't do anything to the leopard, but put it in the spirit beast bag.

As for all the remaining things, I naturally put them all away...
