Chapter 21 Blood Ginseng

At this time, every breath of time was a deep torment for Li Kang. Seeing the thinner and thinner wall of flames, his fists clenched unconsciously, and his nails fell into the flesh without knowing it.

……

In the agony, it took several cups of tea. At this moment, the wall of flames in front of Li Kang was only less than an inch thick. Although the blood tiger monster attacked very slowly and its power was greatly reduced, it still No coma.

The barrier of imprisonment in front of them may be broken by them in the next breath.

After a few breaths of time, "Ka...Ka...Ka..." The sound of the shattering ice continued to reach Li Kang's ears.

Suddenly, his expression changed when he heard the sound, and he saw that the imprisoning barrier, which was as thin as an eggshell, swayed violently, and cracks appeared like spider webs, and the fiery red color on the surface became more and more dim. off...

"Could it be that after I, Li Kang, am reborn, I'm going to be eaten by monsters like this? God, don't play tricks on me!" He raised his head to the sky and roared, his heart full of unwillingness and resentment.

At this moment, Li Kang thought of Wan'er who hadn't been resurrected, Li Ba and his son who hadn't been killed, the Great Qin Dynasty that hadn't been destroyed...

He gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "Since both of them are dead, I will blew up my natal star image and the blood tiger demon to die together!"

Li Kang is such a character, even if he doesn't have any capital to resist, he is unwilling to bow his head and accept his fate.

Then, he squeezed his fingers together, ready to perform the technique of self-destruction...

At this moment, the red light on the surface of the barrier in front of him suddenly flashed wildly, then quickly dimmed, and finally disappeared without a trace.

Immediately afterwards, two loud bangs of "boom" and "boom" came, as if a heavy object had hit the ground fiercely, and then everything became calm.

Li Kang, who was preparing to perform the self-exploding natal astrology technique, saw two fiery red things lying on the ground half a foot away from him, motionless, only the slight ups and downs of the belly could be seen. These two groups of things still have the breath of life.

These two groups of things are exactly the two blood tiger demons who have been poisoned and unconscious.

Li Kang stepped forward to examine it carefully, and saw that the eyes of the two blood tiger demons had changed from blood red to purple black, and even the entire huge head had turned lavender black.

"Haha, God, you finally opened your eyes!" After Li Kang found out that the blood tiger demon had been poisoned and passed out, his legs went limp, and he fell to the ground, laughing and roaring.

Then, he stretched his limbs to form a big character, and he collapsed on the ground, breathing in the fresh air—at this moment, the hanging heart finally let go, and then What came was a deep sense of exhaustion.

"It will take at least ten days for these two blood tiger demons to wake up from the poisoning coma. With their strong physical bodies, they should not be able to die. By then, they will never even think about catching up with me!" Li Kang concluded based on his previous life experience. concluded.

After resting for an hour, Li Kang stood up.

Only then did he think of the little white fox.

"Little fox, little fox, where are you?" Li Kang looked around and called out.

"Yiyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!"

He heard the cry of the little white fox, followed the sound, and soon found that the little white fox was standing under an old tree tens of feet away, standing up and waving its forelimbs at him continuously.

"Little fox, what are you shouting about? I've dug up all the star medicine, come here quickly, and come back to Huzhai with me!" Li Kang said, looking at the little white fox in the distance.

"Yiyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!"

The little white fox stood upright, waving and gesticulating with its two small front legs, and yelled non-stop in its small mouth, as if there was something in the old tree.

Li Kang saw that the little white fox couldn't come over and looked like this, so he walked towards the old tree curiously.

The little white fox's pink nose shone with a faint purple-gold brilliance, and it kept sniffing under the old tree...

He walked under the old tree where the little white fox was, looked at the little white fox and asked curiously, "Did you find something if you didn't come here?"

Hearing the words, the little white fox straightened out its no longer round belly, and nodded solemnly.

Seeing its funny look, Li Kang couldn't help chuckling: "Don't pretend to be tight, what did you find, and where is it?"

Hearing this, the little white fox stomped on the ground with its two hind legs vigorously, and babbled.

"You mean that thing is in the ground under your feet?" Li Kang asked.

The little white fox's little head was dotted like garlic.

Li Kang squatted down, let the little white fox back to the side, took out the dagger and started digging on the ground...

An hour later, he had already dug a large hole deep enough for one person on the ground, but there was nothing in the hole other than sand or sand.

"Little fox, are you lying to me? Why have you dug so deep and found nothing?" Li Kang said a little displeased.

Hearing this, the little white fox immediately shook his head, which means I didn't lie to you.Then, it jumped to the bottom of the pit, pouted its butt with a fluffy tail, moved its limbs quickly, and began to dig the soil.

Li Kang stood aside and watched curiously, wanting to see if there was really something in the soil.

……

Half an hour later, a gust of icy mountain wind blew from a distance, blowing over the hills and the old trees on the top of the cliff. The old yellow leaves are blown by the wind.

The icy mountain wind made Li Kang feel the chill, so he tightened his clothes, took off the animal skin jug around his waist, pulled off the lid and poured a big gulp of mellow spirits into his mouth.

After taking that sip of strong wine, it was as if a scorching hot stream poured directly from the mouth to the stomach. Immediately, heat radiated from the whole body, and the icy cold wind didn't feel so biting.

"The temperature has dropped sharply. It seems that heavy snow will fall on the Damian Mountains in the near future. After returning this time, the tribesmen must hurry up and prepare food for the winter. Otherwise, hunting will become very difficult when the mountains are closed by heavy snow. .”

Seeing that the little white fox had dug for a long time without finding anything, Li Kang let it leave it and refused to let it go, still poking its buttocks and four legs to keep digging the sand, so he let it dig, while he himself looked up at the sky The stars in the sky began to think secretly in their hearts...

At this time, the little white fox, with its head lowered and its buttocks pouted, was constantly digging the soil. Suddenly, it called out "babbling".

Li Kang's thoughts were pulled back by the cry, and he looked down at the bottom of the pit curiously. His eyes were full of red light, and the body of the little white fox, who was pouting buttocks and digging the soil, was dyed by the red light. It became blood red.

"What is buried under this soil?" He couldn't help being startled, full of curiosity.

Then, Li Kang also jumped down the big pit and started to help the little fox dig it up...

After a cup of tea, Li Kang and the little white fox stopped digging. They stood at the bottom of the pit and looked at something in the center of the pit without blinking.

It was a blood-red rhizome, and there were strips of blood-colored roots growing at the bottom, just like the long beards on the chin of an ancient and rare old man. Most of the roots went deep into the ground and only a small part was exposed.

"It's blood ginseng! Judging by the number of roots, it's at least 300 years old. It's a genuine century-old blood ginseng!" Li Kang said excitedly.

Blood ginseng is a holy medicine for healing. The legendary ten-thousand-year blood ginseng has the miraculous effect of "living dead human flesh and bones", which means that even if a person dies, he can be resurrected, and only a bone can make him give birth to flesh. Come.

Although that statement is a bit exaggerated, blood ginseng is indeed a holy medicine for healing, and the healing effect of blood ginseng that has reached the age of more than a hundred years is already very good.

Blood ginseng grows a root every ten years, and this one has 31 roots, so it is at least 300 years old.

Blood ginseng is rare, and it grows underground and never emerges from the ground, so it is extremely difficult to find. As long as each blood ginseng reaches a hundred years of age, it is worth a lot of money, and its value is no less than a piece of green ginseng. star treasure.

In the Nine Kingdoms of the Xingyuan Continent, the century-old blood ginseng has no market at all, and its value is slightly higher than that of the Green Star Treasure.

There are no special restrictions on where low-level star medicines and blood ginseng that are less than 500 years old can grow. They may grow in places with rich star power, or in barren mountains without star veins. .

However, all star medicines above the prefecture level and blood ginseng over 500 years old were born in places with strong star power.

Li Kang in the previous life has already checked, and there is no star pulse on the cliff here...

Thinking of this, Li Kang couldn't help being very happy: "With this thing, Grandpa's injury will recover soon!"

Then, he squatted down and pulled out his dagger to carefully dig out the roots, trying not to hurt a single root, because before the blood ginseng was completely dug out, part of the medicinal power of the blood ginseng would be lost if the roots were injured.

……

Time passed unknowingly. At this time, the new moon had already set, and the bright stars in the sky were also hidden in the sky and became invisible. The curves of the eastern mountain peaks were coated with a layer of gorgeous red edges. , and the sky is dyed red by the colorful red clouds, and the energetic morning sun is about to leap out...

Li Kang, who was on the top of the cliff, wiped the sweat off his face with his hand, and there was an excited smile on his face: "I finally dug you out!"

He held a blood-red blood ginseng plant in his hand. Its long roots hang down from the bottom, which are two feet long. The 31 roots are like the long beards on the old man's chin, and none of them have been damaged in the slightest.

Li Kang took out the animal skin, carefully folded the long beard of the blood ginseng into an arc, wrapped it up, and put it in the package behind him.

"Little white fox, you are so powerful, you can even find the blood ginseng hidden half a foot deep in the ground!" Li Kang gently stroked the soft and delicate snow-white hair of the little white fox, and praised him sincerely.

Hearing the words, the little white fox stood up, stretched out its no longer round belly, hugged its two front legs like a human, and smiled "proudly" on its pink mouth.

The meaning is clearly saying: that is, don't even look at who this little fox is?

"Hahaha...Okay, okay, I'm so proud of you. However, I still want to thank you for helping me find the blood ginseng. Well, I still have two pieces of dried venison in my package. Let's bake it together." Li Kang couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw the little white fox's "proud" appearance like a little adult.

"Gurrup" "Gurrup" "Gurrup"

As soon as he heard the word "dried venison", the little white fox's already shriveled belly let out a hungry roar, and its pair of dark round eyes full of spirituality flashed a light of longing, A small pink mouth couldn't help swallowing "baji" and "baji"...

"Haha, look at how greedy you are, I'm going to start a fire and barbecue now!" Li Kang couldn't help laughing again when he saw the little white fox. Huozhezi lit a fire.

Then, he took out the dagger and inserted a piece of dried venison, put it on the flame and slowly turned it over to roast, and soon there was the sound of "crackling" fat bursting, and there was a burst of tempting meat aroma Floating from the golden oily venison jerky...

Wisps of rich meaty aroma penetrated into the little white fox's pink nose, and the little white fox stared at the golden venison jerky in Li Kang's hands without blinking, swallowing continuously, but some saliva still flowed down The corners of its mouth flowed out... Looking at its eyes, it wished to put that piece of dried venison into its stomach immediately.

Li Kang, who was grilling meat at the side, couldn't help laughing again when he saw the little fox's stern look.
