Chapter 86: Corpse ginseng

He left as soon as he said he wanted to. He had nothing to pack, so he just took the baggage and left. It's even easier for the prince. He doesn't even have to carry any baggage.

It was seven or eight o'clock in the morning. The two left the bamboo house and continued westward. They used to walk step by step, but not anymore. Although they didn't know magic, their spiritual energy was there, and they could easily jump nearly a hundred meters.

"Weave a basket and carry it on your back with me." The prince suggested. The feeling of being trapped was not good.

Wu Dongfang adopted the prince's suggestion and made a basket with rattan. The prince and the baggage were both in the basket.

"Do you have to make the basket look like a prison cage?" The upper part of the basket was also connected vertically and horizontally by Wu Dongfang with vines. Only the prince's head was exposed, like a prisoner wearing shackles.

"If you don't seal your mouth, you will be kicked out. Where can I find the tonic you mentioned?" Wu Dongfang raised his energy and took a leap. The leap was not quite right. To be precise, he raised his energy and jumped.

"Just hurry up and leave the rest to me. I'll come find you." The prince said.

Jumping does not consume much spiritual energy, but the speed is not slow. After an hour, the two of them have traveled more than a hundred miles west. At this speed, they can return to the Jin clan in less than two months.

"Go north." The prince said from the basket.

Wu Dongfang changed his route to the north. After traveling dozens of miles, the prince said, "No, let's go west."

Wu Dongfang went west again and swept another hundred miles. The prince said again, "Go to the top of the southwest mountain to have a look."

When they reached the top of the southwest mountain, the prince stretched his neck and looked towards the mountain stream on the south side of the mountain. It was summer and the weather was very hot. There was a huge python in the mountain stream enjoying the coolness in the water. This python was not very different from ordinary pythons. The same thing, with claws under its belly and a head that looks a bit like a cow, but without horns.

"What is this thing?" Wu Dongfang asked.

"This is the Jiao." said the prince.

"It's almost like a snake." Wu Dongfang looked at the dragon immersed in the mountain stream. The body was like a snake, the head was like a cow, and it had two claws located in the front of the body.

"Throw stones at it," said the prince.

"Why bother with it?" Wu Dongfang tilted his head in confusion.

"Listen to me and throw stones at it." The prince urged.

"What happens after you throw it away?" Wu Dongfang didn't understand what kind of medicine the prince was selling in the gourd.

"Let's see if it comes to chase us. If it comes to chase us, we will run away. If it doesn't come to chase us, it is guarding something." The prince said.

Wu Dongfang understood. He bent down and grabbed two big stones. He jumped dozens of meters away from the dragon. Before he could throw the stones, the dragon chased after him. Although this guy couldn't fly, he could move quickly on the treetops. .

Seeing the dragon chasing after him, Wu Dongfang turned around and ran away. The dragon is an aquatic animal and cannot move easily on land and cannot catch up with them. The distance quickly widened. Upon seeing this, Wu Dongfang turned around and went back, throwing stones at the dragon. Although he missed the dragon, it angered it and chased it for nearly a hundred miles in one breath.

"Let's go, it's a poor man." The prince made a judgment.

"Are spiritual creatures guarded by beasts?" Wu Dongfang asked.

"Most of them are available. It's hard to see good spiritual creatures. If they don't grow up, they won't be willing to eat them. They will stay around the spiritual creatures to protect them." The prince said.

"Can you try to find those that are not protected by animals?" Wu Dongfang asked. The method like Wang Ye's is simply causing trouble everywhere. In the end, it is very likely that the spiritual objects will not be found and will cause trouble all over.

"It's impossible to find them. Who knows where they grow. Like the dragon just now, if you throw stones at it and it doesn't chase us, but instead runs to other places and stops, then there must be spiritual beings around. ." The prince explained its techniques for finding spiritual objects.

"Is it true that the better the spiritual object is, the more powerful the beast that guards it will be?" Wu Dongfang asked again.

"Yes." The prince retracted his head into the basket.

It was too hot at noon, so Wu Dongfang stopped for a short rest, found some food with the prince, and slept in a tree again. At three or four o'clock, it was no longer so hot, and he headed west again.

The mountains are full of beasts that have grown into spirits. The prince himself is a beast and knows what kind of beasts like to live in what kind of places. He guided Wu Dongfang to run around, provoking one when he met one, and running away after provoking him. Like a mean-spirited person who goes around causing trouble and looking for a beating.

"Are you sure your method is effective?" Wu Dongfang asked. As the old saying goes, if you walk too much at night, you will encounter ghosts. If you cause trouble everywhere, sooner or later you will encounter someone you can't afford.

"It must be useful, keep looking." The prince said.

The prince said that he had no choice but to continue looking. To find spiritual objects, one must first look for wild beasts and monsters. However, the prince was not sure where the beasts and monsters were in a certain area. Some beasts had an activity range of hundreds of miles, and they were often found all at once. The search lasted for half a day or even a day, and Wu Dongfang was exhausted after a few days.

"Why is there such a thing here?" The prince looked down at a water-filled sinkhole under a cliff.

Wu Dongfang was also looking down at the tiankeng. This tiankeng is circular in shape and is more than ten acres in size. The distance from the top of the cliff to the water surface is more than a hundred meters. There is a small amount of accumulated water below, which is black and gray. There are some fallen stones at the bottom of the pit. There was a dead animal carcass, and a plant grew on the large rotting carcass of an unknown animal. The plant's branches and leaves were similar to those of ginseng, and at the top was a cluster of flowers composed of red particles.

"Why does ginseng grow on animal carcasses?" Wu Dongfang was very confused. Ginseng usually grows in deep mountains and old forests and should not appear in such a dirty environment.

"This is not ginseng, but corpse ginseng." The prince said.

"What is corpse ginseng?" Wu Dongfang asked.

"It's the ginseng that grows on the corpse. Go down and get it up quickly," the prince said.

"Why don't you go down?" Wu Dongfang picked up a big stone and threw it down. There was not much water, and the stone made a squeaking noise when it fell into the water. After the squeaking, the stench rushed up. Wu Dongfang felt sick and hurriedly jumped away.

"You are so naive. That's a good thing. Go back and get it." The prince scolded.

"What's the use?" Wu Dongfang blew his nose.

"It's used as medicine. If you are injured and want to cut off your arm, you can fall asleep after eating it and you won't feel any pain." The prince said.

"I slept and had my arm cut off?" Wu Dongfang glared at the prince, turned around and jumped to the west. There was nothing gained from jumping around these days. The only gain was knowing that the spiritual energy in his body was constantly jumping. It can last a whole day under normal conditions.

"You can sleep for a long time after eating this. If you are terminally ill and cannot find a cure, you can also use it. This thing is not easy to find. Go back quickly. Go back quickly." The prince stretched out his paw from the basket Grab Wu Dongfang's hair.

"I will come and get it when you are terminally ill." Wu Dongfang said angrily.

When the prince saw that Wu Dongfang was determined not to go back, he had nothing to do with him, "Go west, to the treeless hilltop."

The treeless hilltop is a volcano with a pungent smell of sulfur that cannot stand people.

"Go south and take a look at that forest." The prince instructed again.

Wu Dongfang went again, and when he reached the edge of the dense forest, Wu Dongfang heard a scream coming from the forest. The scream should belong to some kind of monkey, and there should be a group of monkeys listening to the sound.

"Great, it's my father's birth." The prince looked very excited.

"What is raising a father?" Wu Dongfang asked.

"A kind of big monkey, they are best at finding spiritual objects. The Fire Clan once paid tribute to the Tu Clan, but it was a pity that it was raised to death by the Tu Clan." The prince said.

"How do you know?" Wu Dongfang frowned and turned back.

"Wangwushan is within the territory of the Tu tribe. What don't I know?" the prince said.

"What should we do now? Follow them?" Wu Dongfang asked.

"No, no, no, it's useless to follow. It's summer now and they don't look for spiritual objects. Let's catch one and take it away." The prince said.

"Let's take a look." Wu Dongfang swept southward carefully. He hasn't seen this kind of monkey yet. Judging from their cries, this kind of monkey should be quite big.

His conjecture was soon confirmed. There was a cave on a sunny mountainside. There were many peach-like fruit trees around the cave. A dozen monkeys sat on the fruit trees and ate peaches. These monkeys were different from modern monkeys. They are too similar, more like apes, and they are also big. The big monkeys are bigger than adult men. They have long fangs in their mouths and their fur is grayish yellow.

"Catch a male. Females don't know how to look for spiritual objects." The prince said in a low voice.

"Why?" Wu Dongfang asked.

"I don't know. Anyway, only the males are useful. Catch the one sitting on the edge." The prince pouted at a fruit tree far away from the cave in the south direction. There was a male monkey sitting on the tree.

"Don't worry, take a look first, I didn't see the Monkey King." Wu Dongfang said.

"The Monkey King should be sleeping in the cave now. Catch him quickly. If you catch him, leave quickly." The prince urged.

"I didn't sleep in the cave." A voice came from behind the two of them.

Wu Dongfang didn't know if the prince looked back, but he didn't look back anyway. The one who spoke must be the monkey king. Not only could this guy speak, but he also came quietly behind them, which meant that this guy had already become a spirit. It’s better to run away quickly if you look back and get startled.

After reacting, Wu Dongfang flew north. In mid-air, he only felt a kick on his right shoulder. The one who attacked him must be the monkey king. As he flew westward, Wu Dongfang reached out and looped his hands around a big tree. Standing still, he took advantage of the opportunity to turn around and glanced sideways. He saw that the monkey king who attacked him had golden fur all over his body. He was extremely tall and weighed about three to four hundred kilograms. It had fangs protruding from its lips. It was more than half a foot long, and with a fierce look in its eyes, it jumped from a big tree and rushed towards him.

Wu Dongfang spun back from the tree and kicked the Monkey King in the air. The monkey was unable to dodge in mid-air and was kicked by him. His body was stagnated, but it did not fall back to the ground. Instead, it reached out and hugged Wu Dongfang. Dongfang's right leg.

Wu Dongfang kicked his left leg fiercely, hitting the Monkey King in the face. He took the opportunity to pull out his right leg. At this time, he had already started to fall. Using the momentum of his fall, he turned over in the air and grabbed the Monkey King with his right hand before he landed. As for the tail, after landing on the ground, the body leaned back, pulling the monkey king's tail and spinning rapidly, trying to throw the monkey king out, but the monkey king disappeared before the circle was completed.

"Behind!" the prince screamed.

Wu Dongfang didn't have time to turn around and jumped behind a big tree. Before he could stand still, the Monkey King appeared in front of him, and his sharp claws swung towards his head.

It was only then that he realized that this monkey king had become a spirit in old age and had acquired magic skills and could change directions instantly.

Wu Dongfang tilted his head to avoid the sharp claws, knocked away the monkey king with his right knee, took the opportunity to take out the bone-penetrating needle given to him by the old wasp and shot a needle with his hand. This guy's magic is very weird, even if he is a magician. Even the division may not be its opponent.

The monkey king disappeared at the same time as the bone-penetrating needle was shot.

"In the west." The prince shouted.

Wu Dongfang turned around and saw the monkey king appearing on the stone wall to the west, searching for something on his left chest with his right paw.

When the other monkeys saw that the Monkey King had stopped attacking, they all picked up stones and threw them eastward. These guys were big, powerful, and accurate. Wu Dongfang saw that he would not get any benefit, so he fled north.

"Catch the monkey, catch it... Oh, forget it, stop catching it, run quickly, hurry up..."
