"Miss, it's hopeless, let's move on!" The vice-captain of the herbal collection team who was over fifty years old sighed and suggested.
Ling Xiaoxue nodded, stood up and said: "Everyone, the Bloodshed Forest is extremely dangerous, and there will inevitably be various accidents, but you can rest assured that the dead will not die in vain. The Ling family will compensate your family members with one hundred thousand taels of silver, and the others will each have ten thousand taels of silver." , if I am unfortunately killed, it will also be effective."
"Miss is such a nice person! We can rest assured in this way."
"Well, as a martial artist, it's normal for some accidents to happen. I'm afraid that the family members will lose their support."
There are only six Real Condensation Realm fighters among the members of the guard, and the rest are Qi Cultivation Realm practitioners. With their strength, even if they go hunting monsters every day, it will take several months to earn one hundred thousand taels of silver. This is impossible, who can stay in the place where monsters gather every day, I am afraid that they will be hunted within three days, so normally, it takes more than five years for ordinary martial arts practitioners to earn 100,000 Two, you still need to be able to stay alive. After all, when you are unlucky, you may encounter a high-level monster, and you will not be able to escape.
Now that Ling Xiaoxue compensated the family members of the deceased with one hundred thousand taels of silver at once, it was equivalent to cutting off their worries and letting them not have to worry about the future life of their family members.
"This girl has the temperament of a superior." What Ling Xiaoxue did made Ye Chen nod secretly.
The dead are dead, and the rest still have to continue on their way.
As they gradually deepened, everyone seemed to have come to another world, completely isolated from the bustling and bustling city.
The Bloodletting Forest is worthy of the title of Bloodletting Forest. Thirty miles away, everyone encountered four waves of monster attacks.
The first wave consisted of three underground demon rats, which were level 2 monsters.
The second wave is a large group of silver ring snakes, which are second-level monsters.
The third wave is five scorpion-tailed demon wolves, which are the top three monster beasts.
The fourth wave is a blind vigorous rock bear, a fourth-level monster.
Under the third and fourth waves of monster attacks, no one was killed or even injured, but the first wave and the second wave of monster attacks killed four people from the guard team and the herb gathering team. If it weren't for Ye Chen and others It is not impossible to react quickly and shoot in time, with more than half of the casualties.
The subterranean devil mouse is not strong. If you encounter it normally, any fighter at the seventh or eighth level of the Qi training state can defeat it. It doesn't take much effort, but when it lurks underground, it can be defeated by a fighter at the Qi training state or even at the early stage of the Condensation Realm. A warrior's nightmare.
Among the guards, a martial artist who had reached the tenth level of the Qi training realm was dragged into the deep cave by the underground devil mouse without any resistance, and the screams lasted for a long time before they stopped. But the second and third underground rats were unlucky, and they actually set their targets on Ye Chen and Yuan Xuemei. Before they got out of the soil, they were stimulated by the two of them, and they were shaken to death underground. , The other one also ran away in fright.
If it is said that the underground devil rats cast shadows in everyone's hearts, then the second wave of monster attacks, a large group of silver ring snakes, made them fearful.
Silver ring snake, a second-level monster, has an oval head, white rings and black rings arranged on the back of the body, the white rings are narrow, the tail is slender, the body length reaches three to four meters, the arms are thick and thin, and the poisonous surname is relatively deep. The green poisonous dragon spider is slightly weaker, but if a warrior in the Condensed Realm is bitten, he will die of respiratory failure in a short time, and it is very troublesome to treat.
The Corona snake's attack was very strange. It pounced from all directions on the treetops, in the grass, and under the fallen leaves, and the momentum it caused was like a violent storm, extremely crazy.
At the critical moment, Wang Feng, a disciple of Beixue Mountain Villa, used the Blizzard knife technique. Wherever the icy knife passed, the speed of the corona slowed down immediately, and those who were close were cut into pieces and flew in all directions. Stop most of the Coral Snake with one person's power.
Ye Chen and Yuan Xuemei were not vegetarians either, they displayed useful martial arts one after another, and killed the silver ring snake within ten steps.
It's a pity that the range that a few people can protect is limited after all. A member of the herbal gathering team and two members of the guard team were bitten by dozens of silver ring snakes, and died of the poison at that time, falling to the ground.
Ling Xiaoxue's complexion was very pale, not only because she was approaching the depths of the bloodshed forest, and there were more and more monsters, but also partly because too many people died, and the amount of compensation required was too large. It was not because she was stingy, this time Just hiring five sect disciples cost one hundred thousand taels of gold and fifty one-qi healing pills. The total value is nearly 250,000 taels of gold, which is 2.5 million taels of silver. 500,000 taels, and 10,000 taels per person who survived, adding up to more than 3.5 million taels. If more people die next, the number will exceed 5 million taels.
For a small family like the Ling family, five million taels was enough to hurt their muscles and bones, and it was prone to turnover problems, and poor turnover would usually bankrupt a small family.
Biting her lower lip tightly, Ling Xiaoxue hoped that there would be a good harvest in the future.
After walking another ten miles, Ye Chen suddenly felt that the vitality of the surrounding world was much stronger, and there was a faint mist in the distance.
Ling Xiaoxue obviously felt the change in vitality, and said in an excited tone: "The place for collecting herbs is coming soon, everyone, please work harder."
"oh!"
Everyone in the Ling family couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Their nerves were tense during this journey, and they didn't dare to relax. They were afraid that if they relaxed, they would become the prey of monsters, and they would never be able to leave the Bloodstained Forest and return to the forest. to your warm home.
Fortunately, hard work always pays off. It should be much easier to go back after picking the medicine.
After a while.
Everyone came to a huge basin, looking around, the whole basin was several kilometers in size, and it was lush and full of various herbs, including black ring grass, silver bell grass, golden pearl iron blood grass, star flower, centipede flower, Vermilion fruit, black snake fruit, seven-star Lianzhu grass, three-color jujube tree, Wudong jujube tree, there are nearly hundreds of kinds of herbs, big and small, and the rich spiritual energy gathers in the sky, forming a faint mist, which is faintly visible, like a fairyland in the world, the fog Zhongshengjing.
"There are a lot of herbs." The eyes of the members of the herbal collection team are shining brightly, and their breathing is quickening. These herbs may be worthless individually, but the quantity is very scary. If they can be collected, they can be sold for one or two million without refining medicine. Two taels of silver, if refined into elixir, the price will be doubled ten times, and earning 10 million taels of silver is not a problem, and some precious herbs can cost more than this, for example, the golden pearl iron blood grass that is refined into the Yiqi Healing Pill is a rare herb, One plant can sell for one thousand taels of gold, which is more expensive than a good weapon.
Ling Xiaoxue showed joy on her face, but she was not dazzled by the excitement, and ordered: "Two members of the guard team protect a member of the herbal collection team, and they are separated. If there is any situation, don't make up your own mind, and report to me immediately."
"yes!"
Along the way, the members of the escort team did a lot of meritorious deeds. If they didn’t protect the members of the herb-collecting team in the center, more people would die, but everything was worth it. In addition to the silver they should get, each person can get an extra 10,000 taels Silver is equivalent to the usual harvest of several months.
After arranging their work, Ling Xiaoxue also joined the ranks of collecting herbs, exclaiming from time to time, obviously some herbs are very valuable.
Yuan Xuemei smiled and said: "This basin is full of vitality, there may be some monsters there, the five of us will patrol everywhere!"
Ye Chen nodded, "That's right, everyone likes to be responsible for their own direction."
"OK."
Taking people's money to eliminate disasters for others, the five of them each occupied a position, patrolled back and forth, and occasionally picked some needed herbs and put them in the storage spirit ring.
