fairy cage

Chapter 204
After rationally parting ways with the old Taoist surnamed Ye, the two of Yu Lie walked in the corridor of the cave with a faint sigh of relief on their faces.

But after walking half a cup of tea, Yu Lie paused, his heart moved, and he suddenly said:
"Fellow Daoist Miao, if what the old Taoist surnamed Ye said is true, and many Taoists and slave hunters have been attracted here, wouldn't the number of people in the alienated jungle next door also decrease?"

Hearing this, Miao Mu's expression froze for a moment, and she soon understood what Yu Lie wanted to say.

Miaomu murmured, and said, "You Daoist Yu, what you mean is that instead of going back to the inner city, we will follow the original plan and go directly to the jungle?"

Yu Lie nodded quietly, cupped his hands and said:
"According to what fellow Daoist Miao explained, when hanging out in the outer city, a great source of danger is other Taoists. Now there are things of greater value in this desert, and the powerful Taoists nearby will be attracted to a great extent. , while the Taoists who still stayed in the next jungle were either alone or thought themselves to be lacking in strength.

In this way, although you and I are just two people, it shouldn't be a big problem if we wandered around in the past. "

Listening to Yu Lie's persuasion, Miao Mu was also thinking about it in her heart, her eyes gradually lit up:

"That's right! Brother Yu said exactly what he said, maybe this is an opportunity for you and me to make a small fortune while the number of people in the jungle is few!"

Yu Lie nodded: "Exactly!"

In fact, neither of them really wanted to return to the inner city directly in despair.

This not only delays their time, but also wastes their travel expenses along the way.And even if they return to the inner city, whether they can find a trustworthy team in a short period of time is also a big problem.

After Yu Lie's slight dialing, the two immediately changed their minds, and decided not to go back to the inner city, and went straight to the alienated jungle fifty or sixty miles away.

However, they didn't turn around directly and shuttled through the exit just now, but waited for a while underground, waiting for the ground worms to come, and rushed from the underground to the alienated jungle area next door.

Although this is a bit troublesome and costs some money, it is better than stability.

Soon.

When the two came to the area where the jungle was located, they walked out from the ground.

At this time, what caught Yu Lie's eyes was no longer the Gobi desert, but a twisted and ferocious scarlet forest.

Towering giant trees grow inside, and they look strange. They don't look like plants, but more like fleshy arms.

The roots of these giant trees rooted in the ground, either like tentacles or sharp claws, are spread out in front of them strangely, like ghosts who have already licked their minions, standing still, waiting for the two of Yu Lie to pass by , let them share and devour.

But when Miao Mu saw this scene, he was not surprised but happy, turned his head and shouted at Yu Lie:

"Brother Yu guessed right, there are really few Taoists here, it's different from the past."

Miao Mu stepped forward quickly, stretched out his hand to squeeze a few handfuls of the wet soil on the ground, then called Yu Lie, and followed her into the jungle.

Yu Lie saw that although his face was calm, but just to be on the safe side, he secretly took out a piece of talisman paper from his sleeve, lit it with a wave of his hand, and blessed himself.

And while walking, there was a faint wind under his feet, erratic, but he didn't directly cast the wind control spell.

Miao Mu on the other side turned his head to look at Yu Lie, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

Realizing that Yu Lie's preparations for this trip are really complete, she also secretly relaxed a little: "It seems that this trip will not just serve this person's trip. I hope he can help later, so You won't lose too much."

Thinking of the blood quenching pill that Yu Lie had promised, Miao Mu's eyes suddenly became hot!
If Yu Lie can successfully refine the elixir this time, the relationship between her and Yu Lie can be strengthened, and even better.

Susu!

The robes of the two shook, and they both stepped into the jungle.

………………

The next two days.

First, Yu Lie followed Miaomu and wandered around in the jungle, looking for alienated plants in the alienated jungle.

After Yu Lie became familiar with the surrounding environment, he gradually became the main guide, while Miao Mu was in charge of vigilance and action.

This is because Yu Lie, as a person in alchemy, is best at distinguishing medicinal materials, and when he came here, he already had a certain understanding of this alienated forest, and he knew it well, and recorded the habits and characteristics of many plant creatures. preferences.

Therefore, in the past two days, although there were only two of them, one had something in his mind, and the other had been here four or five times. In addition, there were not many Taoists in the jungle, so the two of them gained a lot.

On this day, they were running quickly in the jungle, and there was the sound of pulling mountains and falling trees behind them.

Both Yu Lie and Miao Mu showed nervous expressions on their faces.

But after running for a certain distance, the two sides looked at each other with joy in their eyes.

They slowed down their speed, and even secretly cut their palms, causing pure blood to ooze out of them, and the smell wafted away, making the giant chasing after them even more restless.

boom!
As the distance between the two sides narrowed, a tall treant jumped out from among the twisted trees. It strode forward in large strides, trampling deep pits one after another on the ground, and roaring greedily and angrily.

Woohoo!The tree man has no eyes, but on its wide canopy, there are heads hanging one after another, with strange shapes, and the faces all show the same expression, staring greedily at the backs of Yu Lie and the other two.

The tree man sees by parasitic, or imprisoned, on the heads of the tree. Dozens of hundreds of eyeballs of various colors stare closely at the two Yu Lie.

Among these eyeballs, there are also Taoists.

There was a hoarse and strange cry from the mouth of the Taoist's head: "Help, help..."

However, the eyeballs of a few Taoist heads have already lost their minds. There are blood-colored buds growing out of their pupils and seven orifices, clusters of them, which seem to be moldy but not moldy, very strange.

This kind of tree man is called "Human Head Residing Tree" by the nearby Taoists, and there is no official name for it yet.

This monster has a huge body, likes to devour flesh and blood, and has rough skin and thick flesh. It is not something ordinary Taoists can deal with.If it is a pure comparison of brute force and magic power, basically only Taoist officials of the seventh rank can deal with the opponent.

Fortunately, the reason why Taoists are so valuable is that they are resourceful and have various and weird methods.

Yu Lie and Miao Mu didn't need to compete with each other in brute force at all, they just needed to attract each other all the way and lead them into the traps and snares prepared in advance.

Just such a simple method is enough to more than double their confidence in killing this demon tree, and reduce their losses.

It's just that usually, the biggest risk of this method is not the demon tree itself, but that there is too much movement along the way, which can easily attract other nearby Taoists.

At that time, the Taoist who attracted the demon tree and set up traps worked so hard to beat the tree demon to half-life, but it was very easy to be robbed and robbed by the Taoist onlookers in the end, and the gain outweighed the loss.

Fortunately, there are fewer and fewer Taoists in the jungle these days. There seems to be a chance to make a fortune next door, and the Taoists basically rush to the Scarlet Desert.

Yu Lie and Miao Mu fought steadily along the way, until they led the head into the trap by the demon tree, and there were still no idlers around.

Finally, there was a crackling sound, the soil layer cracked, and the branches broke!

The demon tree was running, its huge body sank suddenly, and it fell into an even bigger pit.

And the moment it fell, there was a burst of flames in the deep pit, and a whistling flame rose up, enveloping the demon tree.

At this time, Yu Lie and Miao Mu both fixed their bodies, turned their heads and stared at the huge demon tree in the deep pit, with excitement in their eyes:
"Success!", "It's done!"

The two of them were not idle, and immediately took out a few talisman papers from their pockets, looked at the demon tree in the trap from the air, stimulated steadily, cut down the root system of the demon tree, and prevented the other party from climbing out of the fire pit .

Wooba... A roar as huge as a cowhide drum sounded, the body of this demon tree was scorched black, it struggled, trying to kill and hang Yu Lie and the other two.

But under the burning of the flames, it seemed to have fallen into the mouth of another giant and was being swallowed, unable to kill Yu Lie and the other two.

In the end, the dryad could only suddenly stretch out an extremely long vine, and slapped Yu Lie and Miao Mu fiercely, trying to beat them to death.

However, Yu Lie and Miao Mu both had auras, and they retreated smoothly and easily, making the opponent's counterattack fail as if it hadn't worked.

Boom!The huge body of the demon tree fell down.

Both Yu Lie and Miao Mu showed joy on their faces.

After testing from a distance and thoroughly confirming that the demon tree was dead, the two boldly stepped forward and quickly extinguished the fire in the deep pit!

Although this demon tree can move and looks like flesh and blood, it is still a plant and can be easily suppressed by flames.In particular, there is a kind of tree sap in its body, which is like oil and blood, and it is easy to be ignited and burned dry.

This kind of tree night is also the most precious medicinal material on the tree where the head lives. Oral administration can help the Taoist increase his true energy.Therefore, every extra breath of time burned in the deep pit means that a lot of money is burned.

When the flames in the pit were also extinguished, there were still no idlers around.

Yu Lie and Miao Mu stood in front of the pothole, the joy in their eyes was even stronger, and they were completely relieved.

Yu Lie chuckled: "The harvest is not small, it is the biggest one in the past two days!"

Miao Mu also smiled and said, "Exactly."

She was still staring at the scorched smoke in the deep pit, and said something emotional: "This gunpowder trap is really easy to use."

These words fell into Yu Lie's ears, which made Yu Lie startled slightly. He glanced at the demon tree lying in the pit of the fire, and then at Miao Mu who was beside him. Sense of sight:

"Could it be that this guy is trying to learn what I did last time when I was fishing by the Blackwater River?"

Such methods of digging pits and burning monsters, including the fire talismans pasted inside, were not thought up and taken out by Yu Lie. He had to avoid such stupid things.

This matter was arranged by Miao Mu.

Yu Lie guessed right!

Suddenly, Miao Mu just happened to say something:
"By the way, why didn't Brother Yu delve into the metal stone fire technique? I heard that this technique is simple and powerful, and even ordinary people can prepare it. Also, do you know any alchemy masters who are good at refining gunpowder in Heishui Town? "

There was no change on Yu Lie's face, and he even showed a few traces of emotion, but in his heart, he actually jumped violently.

Yu Lie replied: "Golden stone fire method? The power of this kind of gunpowder is indeed extremely powerful, which is enviable."

He shook his head: "But since Pindao has already chosen the flesh and blood pill method, how can he covet other things? So as not to lose sight of the other, and lose the other. Moreover, the preparation of this thing is not that simple, and it is by no means ordinary people. Daoist boys can make it.

Hey, the ones who are good at refining gunpowder in the town should be the ones in the Artifact Academy, but the ones in the Danfang are wrong.Fellow Daoist Miao has acquaintances in Heishui Town, who knows this? "

Miao Mu inadvertently glanced at Yu Lie, Qian smiled and said:
"If there are acquaintances, why would I ask Brother Yu? I just hope that Brother Yu has acquaintances, so that I can buy some cheap and easy-to-use gunpowder."

"That's it!" Yu Lie replied casually:
"When I return to the hotel, I will go to inquire about it. Song Danqing and the two fellow Taoists on the side of the road are more familiar with the people in the town than I am, so I have to go and ask."

Afterwards, he stopped being long-winded and became more talkative and erroneous.

Yu Lie hurriedly stepped up to the demon tree with the head of the body, and greeted:
"Quickly take its juice, and the skin-membrane wood core can't be wasted. It's just used for burning the furnace. With this demon tree, the consumables for refining medicine are already small. Pindao can start the furnace for alchemy now, or get a few pills , see the effect of the medicine!"

When Miao Mu heard it, her eyes lit up slightly, she also put aside the unreasonable thoughts just now, and hurried to the front of the demon tree, peeling the bark and extracting the juice together with Yu Lie.

Although there are not many idle people nearby, this alienated jungle itself is also dangerous, so we should not stay in the same place for too long.

In just half a cup of tea, the two of them scraped away all the medicinal materials that could be taken from the demon tree.

Soon.

Yu Lie found a secluded burrow, confessed his guilt, and then bent down into it alone, and began to make alchemy.

As for Miao Mu himself, he was full of anticipation and worked diligently to protect Yu Lie outside the burrow, waiting for the refining of the elixir to be completed.

It only takes half a day.

Yu Lie did not disappoint Miao Mu. Sometimes there was a bloody smell in the crypt, and sometimes there was a burst of fragrance. Soon Yu Lie's chuckle came out:

"Fellow Daoist Miao, what are you doing outside, why don't you hurry in and taste pills with me?"

When Miao Mu heard it, she was overjoyed: "It's already half a day away, and the pill has been completed. This person really didn't lie to me!
The elixir in his cauldron is really only one step away from becoming an elixir! "

Immediately, Miao Mu entered the burrow impatiently.

At this time, in the cave, a huge copper tripod was placed in the center, a red light emerged from the tripod, and a strange fragrance burst out.And there was a black-haired Taoist next to him, holding two red pills in his hands, looking at her with a smile.

Seeing this scene, Miao Mu's face was even more joyful and heartbroken.
