Gu Zuo was stunned for a while: "This, it's an earthworm..."
Gongyi Tianheng rubbed the top of his hair: "I'll be more cautious in the future."
Shen Yuanbai said, "Yes, this thing is an earthworm."
Gu Zuo couldn't help but said: "It looks very small. Isn't it difficult to guard against sneak attacks? But after using mental power, it is not difficult to kill."
At this time Lan Wenxi smiled and said, "Don't look at how small this earthworm is, but it is so tall because it is still young, and its outer skin is so fragile, but if it is some adult earthworm, its physique is There is a difference, the outer skin is tougher, and it is much more difficult to deal with.”
Gu Zuo paused: "Is this just a larva?"
Lan Wenxi nodded: "Yes, when he is an adult, his appearance will be different... After a while, you will know when you meet him. But from now on, I must not take it lightly."
Shen Yuanbai also added: "All warriors must protect the pharmacist well. This worm is very ugly when it is an adult, but in the final analysis, it is only weak and poisonous. For warriors, it is not very harmful. But if it is attacked by it With the spiritual power of the pharmacist, the pharmacist will easily collapse due to this, and the spiritual power will turn into nothingness."
What happens to a pharmacist without spiritual power
In modern terms, that is brain death.
- Of course, warriors also have mental power. Some powerful alchemists will also use their mental power to deal with warriors, but warriors have strong physical bodies, and their whole body is full of energy, which is defense. Whether ordinary pharmacists can break through the defense of the warriors, and whether they can let their spiritual power penetrate into the minds of warriors, depends on the strength gap between them and the warriors.
But the worms here cannot break through the physical defense of the warrior, so although the warrior can't kill them, they basically can't hurt the warrior.
Shen Yuanbai's meaning is very simple, that is, once the worms come to attack and the alchemist can't react in time, the warriors will quickly use their bodies to block it! Be sure not to let the alchemist's brains be eaten by earthworms.
Gu Zuo was silent.
Well he will be more careful.
He didn't want his eldest brother to protect him from disasters at all.
The things that should be explained have been explained, and then the group has to start looking for stone eggs.
Gu Zuo put the corpse of the worm into the storage compartment, and then listened carefully to the introduction of Shen Yuanbai and Lan Wenxi.
As mentioned earlier, the stone eggs are bred by the leylines, and what is bred depends on the environment of the place where it was conceived and the "nutrition" provided by the leylines. Now, the reason why this leyline is made of stone is not because it has dried up, but because it is a kind of spiritual thing that hides itself. The stone eggs that the earth's veins worked so hard to nurture, why should they be found and taken away in vain? Countless stone forests, stone dragons, stone beasts, stone corals, are formed naturally, covering the traces of stone eggs.
If you want to find the stone egg, you really have to release your mental power and probe it bit by bit. If you look at it with the naked eye, it will be difficult to find.
Shen Yuanbai said: "Divided into three groups, look for each other, and don't be too far away from each other."
Lan Wenxi smiled: "Little brother takes orders."
Gongyi Tianheng also agreed: "I'll wait to know."
So they formed groups of two, not only living up to the promise of helping each other, but also looking for spoils of war on their own.
Gu Zuo and Gongyi Tianheng were naturally a group.
Gongyi Tianheng still held hands with Gu Zuo: "Azuo, please feel free to look for it, because my brother will protect you."
Gu Zuo's heart warmed, and he shook his hand back: "Brother, be more careful yourself."
After the two cared about each other like this, Gu Zuo released his mental power.
Now, because he has been refining the difficult pills for a long time, the control of his spiritual power has long been like an arm and a finger. A dozen clusters of stony coral shrouded the past. Then, spread the mesh continuously in all directions.
In his consciousness, Gu Zuo "sees" all the sights within the range covered by the wire mesh. Every inch is revealed, and there is nothing to hide. Just like a stream of water spreads out, every inch of land that it runs through can be swept across smoothly, and where there are obstacles, a vortex will be generated.
However, Gu Zuo consciously controlled the direction of the wire mesh and did not crowd with other pharmacists. If they accidentally bumped into them, they would quickly turn around and give in.
After searching like this for a while, Gu Zuo suddenly felt the existence of the "vortex".
Subconsciously, Gu Zuo paused.
Then he made the spiritual power silk screen in other places lighter, and focused on the "vortex" to distinguish it carefully, and found that there was something that was repelling his spiritual power, emitting a different feeling from other stones.
Gu Zuo suddenly opened his eyes: "Big brother."
Gongyi Tianheng's attention was on him, and he heard the words: "What?"
Gu Zuo said, "I'm going there."
Gongyi Tianheng raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand to hold Gu Zuo around the waist, and ran with him, and in just a few breaths, he arrived at the place where Gu Zuo was pointing.
This is where the stone dragon's front claws are, and its five dragon toes are pressed on the ground, which is extraordinary.
Gu Zuo patted Gongyi Tianheng's forearm, Gongyi Tianheng put him down, and then Gu Zuo approached and stretched out his hand to explore between the five toes.
Sure enough, there was a hint of fragrance overflowing in the gap.
Gu Zuo looked happy: "Brother, come and see!"
As soon as the words fell, Gongyi Tianheng stretched out his hand again, and his five fingers were like pincers, tightly grasping a long gray and white living thing with the thickness of an arm.
Gu Zuo saw this scene when he turned his head and called Gongyi Tianheng.
- That pair of mouthparts with sharp teeth in it, facing his head straightly!
Naturally, this is not really facing his head, but the mental power that he has not fully recovered. Fortunately, it has been caught by Gongyi Tianheng at the moment of approaching, otherwise, it will definitely eat these spirits in one bite. Power, let him lose some.
This is an adult worm!
Looking at its shape, it is two meters long, much larger than the larvae just now.
Gu Zuo didn't hesitate, and immediately sent an invisible dagger from between his eyebrows and slashed at the worm. However, the first blow did not cut it in half, but only cut a big hole, making the earthworm struggle more violently. If it wasn't for Gongyi Tianheng's extraordinary strength, I'm afraid it would have escaped!
After that, Gu Zuo sent two or three more knives, aiming at one place in unison. Finally, he cut off the ground worm and killed it, and put its body in the storage compartment.
Gongyi Tianheng got closer.
Gu Zuo was not affected by this little episode. He now probably knows that the earth worm is not detected by the spiritual power because it is the natural enemy of the spiritual power. He only reminded himself to pay attention to this. After that, he pressed his fingers hard, and finally He took out the round thing that was attached to the heart of the dragon's claw.
At this time, the faint fragrance suddenly became much stronger.
What appeared in Gu Zuo's hand was a gray-white egg. It was exactly the same as the Xueyuchan stone egg that Shen Yuanbai had given before, but it was bigger, about the size of a fist.
Finding one so quickly is a great start.
Gu Zuo picked up the stone egg and checked it carefully.
This stone egg is only half jade, so there is also a medicinal fragrance overflowing, but it is impossible to find out what kind of strange medicine it is - it has to be cut open.
However, the fragrance of the medicine is pleasant, and it should be quite precious, so there is no need to think about it too much.
Gu Zuo put the stone egg into the storage compartment and released his mental power again.
Shen Yuanbai, Lan Wenxi and others were not too far away, so they naturally saw what Gu Zuo and Gongyi Tianheng were doing. At this moment, I couldn't help but glance here, and I saw the stone egg in Gu Zuo's hand.
Lan Wenxi smiled and said, "A potential heaven-level pharmacist is indeed even sharper."
Shen Yuanbai nodded, but said nothing.
Seeing this, the other pharmacists tensed their heartstrings.
It would be fine if everyone had never found a stone egg, but Gu Zuo found one so quickly, which made them feel a lot of urgency in their hearts.
Subconsciously, they are more focused when looking for it.
But mental power, all pharmacists have different acuity.
Why are some pharmacists at the Xuan level, some at the Earth level, and some at the Heaven level? In addition to each person's spiritual practice, it is said that there is also the factor of medicine beads - whether a person's mental power is sharp or not has a great relationship with the position of the acupuncture points in the palm of the hand.
Only those who possess medicine beads can practice the spiritual path, become a pharmacist, and use spiritual power, but not every medicine bead in the palm of a pharmacist is in the same acupoint. There are a total of twenty-eight acupuncture points on the palm of the hand that can contain bone beads.
On the Central Continent, many pharmacists know that the acupoint where a pharmacist's medicine beads are located is closer to the Daling and Yangchi points, the better his talent for refining medicine. If there are medicinal beads in the pool hole, the general potential is heaven-level.
Gu Zuo knew that when he was refining medicine, his inner qi would burst out through the medicine beads and release hand tricks, but he did not carefully distinguish which acupuncture point his medicine beads were located.
He naturally didn't know that because of the special nature of his own medicine beads, his initial mental power was nourished by the medicine beads, and he was very sensitive. In terms of sensitivity, it is far superior to many alchemists of the same spiritual realm!
Therefore, Gu Zuo easily sensed the existence of the "vortex", but the other pharmacists often have difficulty feeling the "vortex" because of their lack of acuity, so naturally they have to search over and over again to detect clues occasionally. .
Gongyi Tianheng stayed by Gu Zuo's side, and divided half of his mind to watch him release his spiritual power, while the other half of his mind paid attention to the surroundings to prevent the ground insects from attacking and swallowing his spiritual power.
Fortunately, the ground worm is not something that can be swallowed arbitrarily. If the spiritual power is made extremely thin and spread out, it will appear thin, and even if the ground worm jumps, it will not be able to swallow anything.
In a short time, Gu Zuo had already "looked" everything within a kilometer radius, and he never noticed the second stone egg again. Similarly, Shen Yuanbai, Lan Wenxi and others also got nothing.
Gu Zuo restrained his mental strength and took a break.
Lan Wenxi sighed, "It's really not easy to find."
Gu Zuo suggested, "Let's go a little further?"
Shen Yuanbai and others have no objection: "Alright."
The earth's veins are so large that they stretch as far as the eye can see.
After they came in, because they were standing very close, they were able to go to the same place, but even if they were a little less close to them, after activating the door opening beads, the place they were sent to was far from the one they were outside the entrance. comparable time.
Simply put, even if you can't see other people within a kilometer, you may not be able to run into them if you go further away.
Gu Zuo thinks this is good.
If you really meet other people, if you can't talk about it at that time, the collision of mental power will also be the unlucky ones for them to be alchemists.
Gradually, the group walked out of the kilometer.
They stood in front of the dragon head, and what they saw was a very huge stone tree. The trunk of the tree is at least as thick as dozens of people hugging each other, and every branch is extremely thick. The dense stone leaves on the top—it is better to say that the stone leaves are thinner branches, creating a kind of veil that seems to cover the sky. The vision of the day.
Gu Zuo looked up, but found that he couldn't see the top of the tree at all. He released his mental power to look at it, and found that the mental power that could be smoothly swept across the stone dragon stone coral and other objects just now was found in this huge stone tree. Up, they can only extend about ten meters.
... This is not as far as the naked eye can see, that is, because it can be shrouded, it is more detailed.
Lan Wenxi sighed again: "It was the great work of the Holy Medicine Emperor back then that the earth veins were sealed up to form such a spectacular scene. If it hadn't been sealed, there would never have been such a scene of stone forests and stone dragons, and it would probably be the eruption of the earth veins at that time. , many anomalous environments are competing to form, and if we want to pick stone eggs, we have to go through those environments and survive a lot of risks."
However, there are advantages and disadvantages. Now the risk is small, but without the guidance of the abnormal environment, it is difficult to judge what is in the stone egg from the external environment-because the environment is all a pile of big stones! Nothing special at all!
If you want to judge the stone eggs obtained in this way, you must either cut the stone eggs open, or use the knowledge and mental power of the alchemist to distinguish them yourself.
After sighing, Lan Wenxi said again: "Once the ancestors mentioned that within the earth veins, there are the most stone eggs on this stone tree, but there are dead eggs among them. The appearance of dead eggs is extremely difficult to see through. , maybe the strange things in it have been corrupted and abandoned because they are too mature, or maybe the things that are bred are evil things, and once the shell is broken, they will fight back."
Gu Zuo asked curiously, "The stone eggs bred in places like stone coral and stone dragon stone beasts, are there no dead eggs?"
Lan Wenxi smiled and replied, "Very few, often there is only one egg within a few dozen. But if it is on a stone or wood, about 80% of the dead eggs will be found."
Gu Zuo understood.
Picking stone eggs from stone wood is a really big risk... Only 20% of the stone eggs are available, which is too pitiful, right? After working so hard to get it, it is a waste to cut it open. Isn't it a waste of joy? Moreover, it would be fine if it was just abandoned, but if it was a backlash at all, it would be bad luck.
But this kind of stone and wood, anyone who enters the earth vein, will not miss it.
After a few people looked at each other, Shen Yuan said whitely, "Separately search."
Everyone responded, "Okay."
Afterwards, everyone was grouped as before, and everyone climbed up a certain side of the huge stone tree, and while climbing, they had to find it.
Gu Zuo was grabbed by Gongyi Tianheng's forearm and thrown behind him. Gu Zuo was caught off guard, but his movements were even more tacit, just like in the way of Heaven's Choice before, he quickly wrapped his legs around Gongyi Tianheng's waist and put his hands around his neck before he reacted: " Brother, is this?"
Gongyi Tianheng said: "Since it is necessary to exert strength, it is naturally easier for warriors to climb up for my brother, Azuo to explore, to cooperate with each other, and to find more stone eggs."
When Gu Zuo heard it, he thought it was very reasonable, and obediently agreed: "Okay, big brother."
So Gongyi Tianheng stretched out his long arms and grabbed the "bark" that was raised on the stone wood. Then, with his long legs, he stepped on his heels, and he jumped up more than ten meters.
