While eating melons and cultivating immortality, I felt soft after picking up the magic weapon.

Chapter 43 Heading to the Swamp

[Wow, there are so many, that should be enough, right? 】

One medium-grade spiritual stone is equivalent to one hundred low-grade spiritual stones, so there are 568 low-grade spiritual stones in total.

【do not know. 】

"I don't know how much I need. I'll take it first and give you the rest."

Yunwei waved.

"Okay, I'll leave first. If anyone asks, just tell me that I went to the inner gate to find Senior Sister Meng."

During the whole process, she did not open her eyes once, nor did she ask Qu Xinyou what he wanted to do with these spiritual stones.

He looked like he was completely trusting.

"Um……"

Qu Xinyou closed the door, put all the spirit stones into the spirit jade space, and headed to Shanxiafang City.

The first thing you must buy is the detoxification pill and the Qingxin pill to deal with the poisonous insects in the swamp and the hallucinations of the Yin grass.

There is probably still miasma over there in the swamp.

Miasma can be solved with Jiedu Pill and Qingxin Pill.

Next is the light body charm.

She had to rush over quickly. If the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, it would be easier to change later.

You cannot stay in a swamp for long, as the miasma in the swamp can cause people to become insane and cause hallucinations.

Coupled with the superimposed effect of Yin grass, it is very dangerous.

The detoxifying pill, the pure heart pill, and the light body talisman are the three most basic items. Just these three items cost one-third of the spiritual stones.

And the monster in the swamp.

She was used to preparing for the worst-case scenario. This time when she went to the swamp, the worst-case scenario was to encounter that monster.

According to the mission, the monster has just developed spiritual intelligence and has not yet reached the first level, so it is very likely that it is at the fifth level of Qi refining, or is about to advance to the first level as she told Yuan Yuan and the others.

In this case, don't think about accepting the challenge, just run away.

[Youyou, are these enough for you? 】

Qu Xinyou shook his head.

not enough.

Going to the swamp this time may be very dangerous, and for her, no amount of preparation is enough.

She could only do her best.

After pondering for a moment, she went to the store that sold magical weapons and bought a defensive magical weapon, the Zixiao Shield. When worn on her body, this magical weapon could withstand three full blows from a monk at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

I also bought a five-foot-long machete (approximately one and a half meters). This magic weapon is a ninth-grade low-level magic weapon. It has been in the store for a long time and no one bought it, so it was sold at a reduced price.

Qu Xinyou happened to see it and thought that she still lacked an attack weapon, so she bought it.

Although she bought it at a low price, Qu Xinyou was very satisfied.

Longer, the distance that can be attacked is longer, larger, the area that can be attacked is larger.

Although this also makes the target very conspicuous and easy to avoid, it also prevents the opponent from getting close easily.

To her, nothing is more important than life. Only by living can there be infinite possibilities.

This was something she realized deeply when she was dying in a mass grave.

This cost another three hundred spiritual stones.

There are only seventy-eight spiritual stones left, which are like flowing water.

After thinking about it, Qu Xinyou bought a few more accelerating talismans and invisibility talismans. The light body talisman plus the accelerating talisman would make her escape faster.

The Hidden Breath Talisman can hide the breath. Although you can also do it by holding your breath, it is unstable and it will be bad if it is accidentally leaked and discovered.

Just in case, prepare some.

That's almost it. There shouldn't be anything missing, right?
The dangers of the swamp and the dangers of monsters were all things she had prepared for in advance for the worst-case scenario.

Come to think of it, there really is nothing to prepare.

After putting everything into the Lingyu space, Qu Xinyou walked around the city for a while, pretending that he just came down the mountain for a stroll, but left disappointed after not seeing what he wanted. After walking about twenty miles away from Fangshi, Qu Xinyou's tense nerves relaxed a little after confirming that there was no one around.

He took a light-weight charm on his body and rushed to the village near the swamp.

The nearby villages are not particularly far from the swamp, which is about twenty miles away.

Nearly two hours later, Qu Xinyou arrived at a village near the swamp.

The village is not too big, but rather dilapidated. There are about a hundred houses, meandering and stationed next to a small stream.

Qu Xinyou did not enter the village immediately, but observed outside for a while.

[Youyou, what are you looking at? Aren't you in a hurry? Why are you not in a hurry now? 】

[I am indeed in a hurry, but some things cannot be rushed. 】

She needs to be fully prepared.

Half an hour later, after confirming that nothing special happened in the village, she walked into the village and knocked on the nearest door.

The door was a little worn, and it made a "squeaking" sound as she knocked on the door.

Qu Xinyou knocked a few times before hearing footsteps inside.

The courtyard door opened a small crack, and a turbid, dim, slightly bulging eye appeared from the crack.

The skin around the eye was dry and thin, rough, yellow and full of wrinkles. This eye stared straight at Qu Xinyou.

[Oh my god, is this really a human? I am so surprised! ! 】

[It’s human, it’s normal. 】

It's just that the old man in front of me looks like this because he lives in poverty, is old, and is often hungry.

Qu Xinyou showed no fear, curled her lips slightly and slowed down her voice.

"Old man, I am a disciple of the Yuqing Sect. I heard that there are monsters in the swamp twenty miles ahead. They often come to harass you and I came here to destroy them. I wonder where the village chief of your village lives?"

When the old man heard this, his eyes slowly moved, but he didn't reply.

Just when Qu Xinyou thought that the old man's hearing was not very good and was about to speak louder, a dry and skinny hand stretched out from the crack in the door and pointed to the right.

Nothing else was said.

[What’s the difference between not saying anything? ] Guagua muttered.

"Okay, thank you, old man, for showing me the way."

Indeed, this old man lived on the edge of the village, and the place she was referring to was inside the village, which was no different from not mentioning it.

But Qu Xinyou didn't get angry because of this.

After thanking her, she walked into the village to the left and asked another family.

When the family heard that she was a disciple of the Yuqing Sect, they enthusiastically but fearfully took her to the place where the village chief lived.

"Taoist, this is it. This is the village chief's residence."

The courtyard door of the village chief's residence was open. Hearing the sound, the village chief rushed out and quickly invited Qu Xinyou in.

Sitting down, Qu Xinyou asked him: "Can you tell me the specific situation?"

The village chief responded.

The swamp monster was originally born in the swamp. At first, it only came to trample on crops and steal a few chickens and ducks. Each time it came, it was about half a year apart, but it did not hurt anyone.

Therefore, although their Xiaoxi Village was miserable, they could still endure it.

However, starting three years ago, after it injured a person, things got out of hand.

The time has been shortened from once every six months to three months, and people will die every time they come. Before, it was only one or two, but in the past year, more than three people have died every time they come.

And there was no trace of these people after they were dragged away by Swamp Monster.

Qu Xinyou frowned when she heard this. It comes once every three months. How regular?

"When was the last time it came?"

"More than two months ago."
