Old Gong took Xu Chunniang to a very high isolated cliff.
However, Mr. Gong had lived at the foot of Zhangwei Mountain for hundreds of years and was extremely sensitive to changes in the mountain. When the fog started to appear in the mountain, he sensed something was wrong and chose to go down the mountain immediately.
The two were the first group of people to start going down the mountain. When the others gradually realized that there was fog in the mountain, the fog was already very thick, and there were fog beasts mixed in it, taking the opportunity to attack those who were left alone.
The mountain fog was expanding towards the foot of the mountain at an extremely fast speed. Accompanied by the faint roars and screams coming from behind, Mr. Gong's expression became more solemn.
“There are fog beasts mixed in with the mountain fog. These fog beasts are mixed with the mountain fog and are extremely difficult to deal with. However, the fog beasts also have weaknesses. They hate fire. If you accidentally fall into the fog, you can use the law of fire to make them retreat temporarily.
However, most of the laws in the lower realms are incomplete. The laws of fire that most people know can only drive away fog beasts, but cannot cause substantial harm to them. We must break free from the mountain fog as soon as possible to completely get rid of the fog beasts. "
Xu Chunniang's eyes moved slightly, and she had a bold idea.
If she uses the Yin-Yang Law to create the Law of Mist to protect herself, can she be protected from the attacks of the fog beast
If this idea is feasible, she can go cut down the cedars at any time even if the mountain is covered in fog all year round.
The roars and screams behind me became more frequent and closer.
The fog beast itself has the ability to swallow clouds and spit out fog, which can greatly accelerate the spread of mountain fog.
Old Gong took the time to look behind him. In the thick mountain fog, dim flames of various colors and some bizarre gray shadows appeared from time to time.
Those gray shadows were big and small, with no specific shapes. They were the fog beasts.
Judging from the situation, it won’t be long before they are caught up by the fog beast.
"Once you are trapped in the mountain fog, you must remember the direction to go down the mountain. Use the law of fire to disperse the fog beasts, and keep walking in the direction to go down the mountain. Then you will have a chance to get out of the fog. Remember not to get entangled with the fog beasts, remember!"
As soon as Mr. Gong finished saying this, the two figures disappeared in the mountain fog one after another.
Xu Chunniang felt her consciousness stagnate, and then she could see nothing. There was nothing around her except the white mist and the gray shadows moving towards her.
She remembered what Old Gong said, and subconsciously activated the law of fire, condensing a ball of bright and pure flames.
When the gray shadows encountered the flames, they screamed in fear and retreated as if they were avoiding snakes and scorpions. Even the mountain fog near the fire was swept away by the flames and dissipated a lot.
Xu Chunniang noticed that when she was not trapped in the mountain fog, the fire of other people she saw seemed unable to burn away the mountain fog.
Those gray shadows didn't seem to be escaping so fast.
She had a vague guess in her mind that the laws she had comprehended on the Spirit Demon Island were complete, and would be more effective in dealing with mountain fog and fog beasts.
Xu Chunniang put away the Law of Fire, and the flames soon dimmed. The mountain fog that was swallowed by the flames was also quickly refilled.
The gray shadow in the distance seemed to notice something and moved towards her again.
She gave birth to a law of fog, allowing herself to completely blend into the surrounding mountain fog, to see if she could deceive the perception of these fog beasts.
However, the fog beasts have lived in mountain fog all year round and are very familiar with it. Even if the laws of fog interfere with their perception, they can still accurately capture Xu Chunniang's location.
Looking at the four or five fog beasts surrounding her, Xu Chunniang had an idea and transformed the law of fog in her body into the law of fire, successfully scaring away the fog beasts.
It seems that using the law of fog to confuse the fog beast's perception is not feasible.
Xu Chunniang did not make any other attempts. She walked down the mountain in the direction she remembered. After walking for nearly two hours, she finally walked out of the mountain fog.
Mr. Gong had walked out of the mountain fog half an hour ago and sent her a message, but because the fog was too thick, the message was blocked, and she only received the news now.
Xu Chunniang took out the token and sent a message to Mr. Gong that she was safe.
Mr. Gong replied quickly, "You came out of the fog so quickly? It's faster than I expected. You encountered a fog beast this time when you went up the mountain. Will you go to cut down the snow-covered pine next time?"
"Of course I will."
"Hahaha, okay, fog beasts are actually nothing to be afraid of. As long as you don't get entangled with them and don't get lost in the mountain fog, it's easy to get away. How many snow pines did you cut down this time?"
"Five."
This time she stayed on the cliff longer and mastered some techniques for felling cedars, harvesting two more than last time.
"Five, not bad. I'll keep the same price as last time. Send it to you whenever it's convenient for you."
"Maybe next time."
Xu Chunniang put away the token and walked towards the stone house.
Anyway, I will always meet Mr. Gong when I go up the mountain in half a month. Next time I have a harvest, I can sell it to Mr. Gong.
Xiaobai was very happy to see Xu Chunniang return safely and harvest five Centella cedars.
"Sister is really amazing. She was able to earn so many immortal crystals after being away for just one or two days."
At this rate, there is still hope of paying off the immortal crystals owed to Mr. Gong within a year.
Once they have collected enough immortal crystals, they can leave Zhangwei Mountain and look for Xiaojuzi's whereabouts.
Xu Chunniang smiled and glanced at the newly reclaimed wasteland next to the stone house. "Xiaobai is also very capable. You have reclaimed a small part of the land near our home. You must have been busy for a long time, right?"
“It’s not tiring. With a quarrying chisel, reclaiming wasteland is not difficult at all. It just takes some time.
Didn’t my sister say that we would plant a lot of fairy grass in the future? If I reclaim these wastelands in advance, it will be much easier to cultivate fairy grass in the future.”
After these days of busy work, Xiaobai finally realized how important it is to have a suitable magic weapon.
Although the real function of the quarrying chisel is not to reclaim wasteland, its texture is hard enough and can still provide a lot of help.
Xu Chunniang was very pleased that Xiaobai was really sensible and well-behaved.
"Xiaobai has reclaimed so much wasteland. I will exchange the Centella cedar for fairy crystals in a few days, and then buy some fairy grass seeds for you to plant."
"Don't buy them yet. I'm not sure if these two Frosts can survive."
Xiaobai scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Let's wait until they sprout."
"Okay, I'll give you some immortal crystals when the time comes, and you can do whatever you want."
Seeing Xiaobai holding the chisel and continuing to reclaim the wasteland, Xu Chunniang also continued to meditate and practice.
She had already made up her mind that she would go to Fu Yu City when the spiritual energy in her body was almost recovered.
Although one can earn some money by cutting down Cedar, one can only go up the mountain two or three days a month, and the immortal crystals that can be earned are extremely limited.
When she arrives at the fighting arena, she will try her best to plunder resources. When she has earned enough fairy crystals, she will take Xiaobai and leave Zhangwei Mountain.
