Chapter 103: Assisting in the Battle
Yuan Ming walked around and stopped at a rock.
There was a withered old tree growing beside a mountain wall in front of him. The bark had already fallen off, revealing a shriveled trunk. There were many large holes in many places. It looked like it had been dead for many years.
Yuan Ming ignored the rest of the dead tree and looked at the bottom of the dead tree. On the main trunk close to the ground, there grew a piece of black Ganoderma lucidum, as big as a palm, with a circle of silver patterns on the edge. It was obvious that it was not an ordinary thing.
"It is indeed Yin Yuanzhi!" He squatted down and took a closer look, muttering with a happy face.
According to the "Bai Cao Ji", this is a rare Yin attribute spiritual material. Although it cannot be taken directly like meat Ganoderma lucidum and red core peach, it can be used to refine Yin attribute pills.
Yuan Ming saw someone in the Xingzhi Hall offering a reward of five contribution points to find this Yin Yuanzhi. I don't know if this task has been completed.
He carefully picked it, put it in a jade box, and put it away.
This Yin Yuan Zhi is the most valuable spiritual material so far. If you find a few more, even if you can't find the red-core spiritual peach, it will not be in vain.
Yuan Ming stood up and continued to move forward. Not long after he walked, his eyes suddenly fixed and looked at the mountain wall in front of him.
In the shade of the mountain wall, there grew a black spiritual grass, only two feet high, with oval leaves, emitting a faint black spiritual light.
Yuan Ming looked at the top of the spiritual grass, where there was a black spiritual fruit.
This fruit is only the size of a pigeon egg, with fine patterns on the surface, close to each other, and at first glance it looks like many scales, with a faint fragrance floating in the air.
"Hey, isn't this the black scale fruit that the silver cat asked me to find?" Yuan Ming was delighted.
There is a picture of the black scale fruit in the second cave master's herb collection notes, which is exactly the same as the one in front of him, and the appearance description is exactly the same, and the age is also enough. His luck is really good.
He walked over quickly and was about to pick the fruit.
"Quack!" The black toad next to him suddenly made a rapid cry.
Yuan Ming stopped immediately, then his face changed slightly, and he used the shadowless step to quickly swoop back.
A black shadow fell from the sky and hit the place where Yuan Ming had just stood, smashing a big hole in the ground, and large pieces of rubble shot in all directions.
Yuan Ming continued to swoop back, dodging the rubble that hit him, and then he saw the black shadow clearly.
This is a lion-like beast, with long gray and white hair on its head and neck, and thick scales on its back and lower abdomen. It stood in front of the black scale fruit and roared at Yuan Ming, seemingly guarding the black scale fruit.
"This beast looks like a lion-scale beast in the Ten Thousand Mountains, but the fur and scales of the lion-scale beast are red, while this one is gray-white..." Yuan Ming said in his heart, and at the same time took out the skin of the white ape and used the hair-covering technique to transform into the body of the white ape.
Seeing that Yuan Ming had no intention of retreating, the lion-scale beast transformed into a white ape instead, with obvious provocation, and immediately roared and pounced.
Yuan Ming did not fight back, but used the shadowless step to escape to the side, pinching the formula and pointing backwards.
The ground in front of the lion-scale beast broke, and five thick wooden thorns emerged and stabbed its neck.
The lion-scale beast paused for a moment, and one of its front paws swept across, breaking the five wooden thorns like a dead tree and rotten wood.
Yuan Ming was not surprised by this. The lion-scale beast in the Hundred Thousand Mountains was a first-class upper-level beast. Although the color of the one in front of him was different, it was not inferior in terms of breath, body shape, and size. It was probably also an upper-level beast, and naturally it was not something that could be easily injured by the mere wooden thorn technique.
He flipped his hand and took out the Green Fish Sword. His right arm suddenly became several times thicker, and the blue veins on it bulged. It was the magical power of "Accumulating Yuan Arm".
"Go!" Yuan Ming shouted in a low voice, and swung his arm vigorously. The Green Fish Sword turned into a green shadow and rushed straight to the chest of the lion-scale beast.
The lion-scale beast opened its mouth, and a gray fireball as big as a human head shot out, with a speed no less than that of the Green Fish Sword, and collided head-on with it.
With a loud "bang", the gray fireball exploded, stirring up a visible air wave, which directly blew the Green Fish Sword away.
Yuan Ming had expected this, and with one hand, the Green Fish Sword, which was flying backwards, stopped immediately, circled around, and continued to slash at the lion-scale beast.
The four hooves of the lion-scale beast emitted a gray-white light, and its speed increased sharply. It easily avoided the attack of the Green Fish Sword and continued to pounce on Yuan Ming.
At this moment, the ground under it cracked again, and a purple-black vine emerged, entangled the two forelimbs and chest of the lion-scale beast. It was the purple-black demon vine.
Behind a large rock a few feet away, the black toad lay quietly in the shadow, and the purple-black demon vine shot out from behind it, sank into the ground and disappeared.
The lion-scale beast was shocked, and its sturdy limbs kicked the ground fiercely, and it jumped to the side, intending to tear the demon vine apart with brute force. However, the length of the demon vine was beyond its expectation, and it quickly emerged from the ground.
The lion-scale beast jumped out seven or eight feet away, and the purple-black demon vine still did not straighten.
The demon vines that were getting longer and longer emerged from the ground, twisting and tightly wrapped around the lion-scale beast's hind legs.
Hiss...
The demon vines secreted black venom, infecting the lion-scale beast's body. The lion-scale beast's skin and flesh melted directly, and even white bones were exposed in many places. The blood that flowed out was also black and red, and the scales were also eroded into pits.
The lion-scale beast was shocked and angry, and it opened its mouth and spit out a gray fireball, regardless of hurting itself, and hit the demon vine that was entangled with its body.
With a loud "bang", a large piece of the demon vine was blown off, and the lion-scale beast broke free of most of it, and it was about to be completely free.
The demon vines around the lion-scale beast suddenly lit up with a layer of green light, and they quickly penetrated left and right, forming a purple vine cage in the blink of an eye, imprisoning the lion-scale beast tightly, unable to move at all.
It was the "wood prison technique".
After Yuan Ming finished the spell, he flew over, a red light flashed in his hand, and a dark red hammer appeared, which was the one he got from this island.
He used his magic power to inject it into it, and the hammer lit up with a dazzling red light, like a ball of red flame.
The lion-scaled beast felt the amazing breath emitted by the dark red hammer, and was shocked and frightened, and opened its bloody mouth.
A ball of gray-white fireball as big as a millstone flew out and hit the surrounding purple vine cage.
With a loud "boom", a gray-white mushroom cloud rose!
The purple vine cage trembled violently, and several demon vines were blown off, but the entire cage was almost intact, still firmly imprisoning the lion-scaled beast.
The power of the wood prison technique depends to a large extent on the type of tree that forms the wood prison. The purple-black demon vine is inherently strong, and the wood prison formed by it is extremely powerful. It is difficult for the fierce beast in the Qi Refining Period to break free.
A red hammer shadow whistled down and hit the lion-scaled beast on the head.
The lion-scale beast's head exploded, and countless red and white objects flew everywhere. It fell on the spot without a scream.
The purple-black demon vine flew out, pierced into the wound of the lion-scale beast, and quickly absorbed the blood.
Yuan Ming ignored the behavior of the purple-black demon vine, and looked at the dead body of the lion-scale beast, a little dazed.
After the fight just now, he deeply realized the horror of this gray-white lion-scale beast, which was definitely not inferior to the four-eyed golden ape and the black giant crow he had encountered before.
He had escaped from the hands of the golden ape and the giant crow before, but now he can easily kill the beast of the same level. It must be said that the black toad and the demon vine have contributed a lot.
Unexpectedly, the help of a powerful spirit beast could be so great.
Yuan Ming took a few steps forward, picked up a broken vine from the ground, and frowned.
Although this demon vine is tough, it is a wood-attributed thing after all. Facing the attack of the fire attribute, it is still very restrained.
Fortunately, the purple-black demon vine has a strong self-healing ability, and now it has merged with the black toad. As long as there is enough blood and qi, this degree of damage can be quickly recovered.
Yuan Ming threw away the vine in his hand, ignored the body of the lion-scale beast, turned to the black-scale fruit, carefully picked the fruit and put it away.
At this time, the purple-black demon vine also absorbed all the blood of the lion-scale beast. This time, it did not feed back to the black toad's body, but repaired its own damage. The vine body that was blown off grew quickly, and it recovered most of it in a few breaths.
Yuan Ming continued to move forward, and the sound of "gurgling" water came from the front.
He turned around a low mountain, and a gray-white stream stretched in front of him. The stream was also full of yin energy, and it could be clearly sensed from a long distance.
Yuan Ming was startled, and then his eyes showed joy.
This was exactly the stream he encountered when he first landed on the island.
It would be easy to find this place. He followed the picture in his memory and went upstream against the stream. A small hill appeared in front of him, which was the mountain where Master Heimu's secret cave was located.
The cave door was still open, and the footprints on the ground at the entrance were faintly visible. Everything remained the same as it was then.
Yuan Ming entered the cave and asked the black toad to follow him closely, alerting him to the earth monster he had encountered before.
The cave also remained the same. He searched the cave again and escaped from his soul to check if there were any secret rooms or interlayers in the surrounding walls. Unfortunately, there were really no secrets here.
Yuan Ming was quite disappointed and came to the foundry.
The only thing of value here was the foundry. Last time he encountered the earth monster, he left in a hurry and didn't have time to take it away. This time he would not miss the opportunity.
He urged the black storage bag to try to collect the furnace.
However, after casting a spell, the foundry furnace remained motionless.
Yuan Ming looked surprised. The space in the black storage bag was enough to hold the foundry.
With a hint of confusion, he began to check the furnace and soon found the reason.
On the ground around the furnace, there was a circle of dense red runes engraved, which looked quite complicated, and seemed to have some special connection with something underground. Unless these runes were destroyed, it would be impossible to move the foundry furnace away.
Yuan Ming pondered for a moment, took out the Green Fish Sword, and chopped at the runes on the ground.
Before the sword landed on the runes, a layer of red light suddenly rose up, shaking the Green Fish Sword away.
"Could it be a magic array?" Yuan Ming looked surprised, pondered for a moment, and gave up collecting it.
He had heard Brother Fang Ge mention that the foundry furnaces used by some skilled refiners were also similar to magic tools, with special runes inside, which would produce special benefits when refining.
And more skilled refiners would further enhance the capabilities of the foundry furnace in all aspects by engraving magic arrays, which would be more helpful for refining.
Since Master Heimu left such a magic circle and furnace here, he must have his reasons. If he rashly destroys the magic circle, the foundry furnace will be half destroyed. It is better to wait until he has enough cultivation in the future.
