Chapter 518: Deathless Grass
After getting the piece of Taiyin Cold Iron, the Duobao Baijing Beast immediately lost interest in basking in the sun and sneaked away towards the sea outside Yinyang Mountain.
Che Lanxin's friend naturally followed it carefully. She also knew that the Duobao Baijing Beast was very careful about its life. Once there was any disturbance, it would immediately dive into the seabed through water escape.
Once it escaped through water escape, it would be impossible to pull it out again.
So she kept a distance of about 100 feet and followed it very carefully.
The Duobao Baijing Beast did not seem to expect that it had been followed by humans. Although it looked sneaky, it did not directly escape into the seabed. Instead, it played with the piece of Taiyin Cold Iron in its hand and urged the ball of water vapor wrapped around it to escape forward.
After flying for two or three hundred miles, the Duobao Baijing Beast suddenly stopped in front of a small island. This island was very strange. It was only a few hundred feet in size and protruded about a hundred feet above the sea. From a distance, it did not look like an island, but more like a stone pillar.
After stopping, the Duobao Baijing Beast looked around, and its countless small eyes suddenly showed a look of surprise and doubt, which scared Che Lanxin's friend. He immediately held his breath and dared not move at all.
The Duobao Baijing Beast poked its head around and looked around. Although it had sensed something just now, it did not find anything suspicious at this moment. Just like that, it stayed in place for half an hour.
Finally, the look of surprise in the Duobao Baijing Beast's eyes disappeared without a trace. After a slight hesitation, it turned directly into a ball of water vapor and drilled into the sea in front of the island without even a splash of water.
At this point, Che Lanxin stopped and poured another glass of wine for Xiao Lin.
"Miss Lan Xin's friend probably suspects that the nest of the Duobao Baijing Beast is under the sea under the island?" Xiao Lin said after a moment of hesitation.
Nodding, Che Lan Xin continued Xiao Lin's words and said: "The Duobao Baijing Beast is so careful, I think its nest is not far away from the island even if it is not under the island. If it weren't for Lan Xin's friend's mastery of hiding, I'm afraid it would not be possible to track it and find the address where it fell into the water."
Hearing this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but ponder. As far as he knew, the Duobao Baijing Beast, although a water-based monster, prefers to bask in the sun and also likes to swim on the sea surface to absorb the sun's rays.
According to Che Lan Xin's description, the nest of the Duobao Baijing Beast is indeed possible under the island. Of course, these are just their guesses. Whether it is true or not is a question mark.
After all, the Duobao Baijing Beast is proficient in water escape techniques, and can completely dive into the seabed first and then return to its nest. In this way, the nest location located by Che Lanxin's friend may be greatly different from the actual location.
And as long as it exceeds a certain range, with the coverage of their spiritual sense, it is not an easy task to find the nest of the Duobao Baijing Beast in the dark and extremely gravity-intensive seabed.
"The Duobao Baijing Beast is known as a mobile treasure house. Miss Lanxin told Xiao Mou such important news. I wonder what is her intention?" After a pause, Xiao Lin looked at Che Lanxin and said.
"Haha, Brother Xiao is very smart, I think he can guess something. The Multi-Treasure Hundred-Eyes Beast found by Lan Xin's friend is a genuine emperor-level perfect demon beast, and its skin is blue, which obviously means it has reached the stage of transformation. According to Lan Xin's friend's guess, within a hundred years, this Multi-Treasure Hundred-Eyes Beast will experience the transformation thunder tribulation."
Hearing this, Xiao Lin was also shocked. The Multi-Treasure Hundred-Eyes Beast is not only rare in the sea of ten thousand monsters, but also has a very strong combat power. The reason why it is not well-known is mainly because it is usually timid and cautious, and only likes to collect various treasures. It has no interest in human cultivators.
And once its nest is blocked by human cultivators, it will fight desperately. Once its true strength is truly revealed, it will definitely be earth-shattering. The Mirage Double-Winged Dragon that Xiao Lin and others killed on the Demon Dragon Island that year was already a top-level existence among the emperor-level perfect demon beasts, but compared with this Multi-Treasure Hundred-Eyes Beast, it is a small witch compared to a big witch.
"Lan Xin's friend is a close friend of Lan Xin, and that's why she revealed this news to Lan Xin. However, with our strength, it is too unlikely to kill the Duobao Baijing Beast, so we agreed to find a reliable helper each and go together. In this way, we will have a much better chance."
"Xiao has just entered the Hanyuan Fairy City. I think Miss Lan Xin invited Xiao to participate in this treasure hunt on a whim, right?" Xiao Lin took a sip of wine, put down the jade cup, looked at Che Lan Xin, and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Che Lanxin smiled: "I don't deny this. Brother Xiao is a mysterious dragon that is hard to find. Usually, even if Lanxin wants to invite him, she can't find him. Lanxin did have a candidate, but unexpectedly, the disciple of Jinmingshan who Lanxin had told to pay attention to Brother Xiao's whereabouts in the fairy city suddenly came to report that he had found Brother Xiao's whereabouts. This made Lanxin overjoyed. It was indeed a bit abrupt to invite Brother Xiao here."
"Miss Lanxin, do you trust Xiao so much?" Xiao Lin said meaningfully.
Che Lanxin's face immediately became serious upon hearing this, and she said, "Lanxin can trust Brother Xiao's character. On the Dragon Island, Brother Xiao could have killed Lanxin for the treasure and kept the treasure for himself, but Brother Xiao not only did not do so, but also gave half of the treasure to Lanxin. From this, we can see that Brother Xiao is a gentleman with principles and bottom lines, and Brother Xiao's combat power is beyond the reach of Lanxin even if she flatters him. So Lanxin thought about it and still felt that Brother Xiao was the most suitable candidate."
After hearing Che Lanxin's explanation, Xiao Lin touched his nose and fell silent. To be honest, he was also very interested in this Duobao Baijing Beast. After all, this Duobao Baijing Beast was known as a collector of rare materials. There must be many rare materials in its nest, which is beyond doubt.
In order to continue to refine the Qingluan Ice Thunder Sword, Xiao Lin had a huge demand for rare metal materials, and it was unknown when he could gather them all by simply relying on those businesses and auctions.
However, although Xiao Lin wanted to participate in this treasure hunt, he was a little hesitant. He had just killed the young master of the Dragon Turtle Clan in the Wan Yao Sea. It was not a wise choice to rashly enter the depths of the Wan Yao Sea to search for treasures.
If he was blocked by the bald man again next time, whether he could be as lucky as this time was a matter of two words. Another point was that he had been out for a long time, and he didn't know how Jiang Yingxue was doing on Qinghu Island.
However, among the dozens of mysterious formations he arranged on Qinghu Island, he also mixed in a formation that could sense each other with his mind. As long as the formation was attacked, he would know it at the first time.
In the past few decades, he did not have any warning signs in his heart. It seemed that Qinghu Island had not changed. It was precisely because of this that Xiao Lin could continue to practice outside with peace of mind.
"Brother Xiao, do you have any concerns? In this treasure hunt, as long as we can kill the multi-treasure hundred-eyed beast, Lan Xin's friend promised that she only needs to choose one treasure first, and the rest will be divided equally among all of us. Moreover, Lan Xin and that close friend have a deep friendship for a hundred years, and he is absolutely trustworthy." Che Lan Xin saw Xiao Lin's hesitant expression on his face, thinking that he had some concerns in his heart, so he continued to explain.
Waving his hand, Xiao Lin said: "It's not that Xiao doesn't trust Miss Lan Xin, but Xiao happens to have an important matter to do recently. I wonder if Xiao can consider it for three days. Then, whether he goes or not, he will give Lan Xin an accurate news."
Che Lan Xin couldn't help showing a surprised expression in her eyes when she heard this. In her opinion, Xiao Lin must be willing to do such a good thing after hearing it, because this is definitely a great opportunity.
Xiao Lin's expression was beyond her expectation. After thinking for a while, Che Lanxin nodded: "Since Brother Xiao said so, Lanxin will naturally have no problem. Lanxin will stay in this house for the next three days and wait for good news from Brother Xiao."
"Thank you for your understanding, Miss Lanxin."
Xiao Lin raised the wine glass in his hand, toasted Che Lanxin, and then stood up to say goodbye.
Che Lanxin did not stop him. After the two said goodbye to each other, Xiao Lin turned and left.
Looking at Xiao Lin's back, Che Lanxin's pretty face showed a thoughtful expression. After a while, she took a deep breath leisurely, moved her lotus steps lightly, and disappeared into the wing room in the backyard.
After leaving the house, Xiao Lin did not return to the inn, but went to a business called "Si Ming Ju" and bought several books that specifically introduced the "Multi-Treasure Hundred Eyes Beast". Then he returned to the inn and stayed at home.
Xiao Lin sat cross-legged on the bed, flipping through the book in his hand, his face was uncertain. Half an hour later, he suddenly became alert and showed an excited expression on his face.
"Is the legend true?" Xiao Lin took a deep breath and calmed down his excitement, but he still couldn't hide the joy in his eyes.
He gently closed the book in his hand and put it on the edge of the bed. When he was studying the many monsters in the Wan Yao Sea, he had seen the introduction of the "Multi-Treasure Hundred-Eye Beast" from it. Its habit of collecting treasures made Xiao Lin remember it deeply.
But there was another point, which he just skipped hastily at the time and did not read carefully. That is, according to the legend, the deepest part of the nest of this "Multi-Treasure Hundred-Eye Beast" usually inherits the spiritual light and precious energy of the treasure, giving birth to an extremely rare spiritual herb.
The name of this spiritual herb is "Wushang Grass". This "Wushang Grass" is an extremely precious fourth-level spiritual herb. It was even rumored that this "Wushang Grass" does not exist in the world of immortal cultivation. After all, it requires rich spiritual light and precious energy, and also some extremely special cold and cold environment.
The nest of the "Duobao Baijing Beast" is an extinct environment for the growth of "Wushang Grass". It is even rumored that when the "Duobao Baijing Beast" transforms, it must devour a "Wushang Grass" to absorb the precious energy in its body, so as to reduce the heavenly calamity caused by the transformation.
