Chapter 571 573 Purple Blood Ginseng
While Huo Ye was looking for a way to enter the valley, Rong Xianxian had already descended into the valley on a flying carpet. Looking down from above, it felt dark below, but after entering the valley, he adapted to the light below and could see the surrounding environment clearly.
The cry just now was full of hostility. Rong Xianxian suspected that it had encountered an opponent. She was clearly following the sound, but at this moment she could not hear any movement. Rong Xianxian turned on the monitoring headphones and listened to the movements around her. Soon she discovered that a faint and slow flapping sound came from the northeast direction twenty or thirty meters away from her.
Rong Xianxian was driving the flying carpet towards that direction. Suddenly, something came towards her with the sound of wind. It was too fast and she had no time to dodge. With a "bang", the flying carpet automatically rebounded and bounced the thing out. At the same time, many trees were broken with a "crash". The huge consumption of spiritual energy in Rong Xianxian's body made her legs weak and her feet swayed. The originally stable flying carpet also twisted and turned.
Rong Xianxian was shocked. After the flying carpet was upgraded, the amount of spiritual energy consumed by the rebound attack function had been greatly reduced. She didn't know what had attacked her. The power of this attack was so great that it consumed half of the spiritual energy in her body in one go.
"Crack", "bang", a sturdy tree with a diameter of one meter fell to the ground, and the figure of Aoao hidden among the branches and leaves appeared, "Aoao", Rong Xianxian shouted, but Aoao did not respond at all. As the tree fell to the ground, Aoao's body fell with it.
Rong Xianxian noticed that Aoao was not in a good state, so she turned the Thousand Silk Net on her wrist into a net and covered Aoao. The net lifted Aoao's body and slowly dropped it to the ground. Rong Xianxian immediately went forward to check. The feathers on Aoao's left wing were disheveled, and there was an obvious big hole at the root, as if it was bitten by sharp teeth. The blood on the wound was not dry yet, and the area around the wound had turned black. His body began to stiffen. It was obvious that Aoao was poisoned, and the poison was acting up very quickly.
Just as Rong Xianxian was checking Aoao's injuries, a huge shadow rose behind her. Although it was silent, Rong Xianxian had already noticed its arrival.
However, Aoao's situation was extremely urgent. Rong Xianxian took out a bottle of detoxification pills and a bottle of spatial river water from the space without hesitation, and using her spiritual energy, she drank the whole bottle of pills.
"Hiss" - a sound of a venomous snake spitting out its tongue came from the biggest shadow behind her. Rong Xianxian turned her head and a disgusting and dizzying smell came. A large cloud of black poisonous fog enveloped her. Even though Rong Xianxian had made great achievements in her cultivation and had made countless poisons, she had a strong immunity to toxins, but she was still dizzy and slow to react from the poisonous fog. She tried her best to hold her breath and control the flying carpet to retreat quickly. She first took a detoxification pill and then mobilized the spiritual energy in her body to force the inhaled toxins out of her body. She took a closer look and saw a huge monster about four or five meters tall in the shadow, with a pair of black horns growing on its huge triangular head. Its two scarlet eyes were staring at her, and the slender snake tongue at the corner of its mouth made a hissing sound. Rong Xianxian knew that this was a signal that the snake was about to attack.
Rong Xianxian was worried that the environment here was unsafe, so she put Aoao into the foggy space. Anyway, Aoao had been to the foggy space before, so there was no need to worry about him causing trouble even if he woke up.
Rong Xianxian held the Soul-Devouring Sword in her hand, activated the defensive talisman on her body, put on a gas mask, stepped on the flying carpet and slashed at the big snake.
She turned off the flying carpet's ability to rebound attacks. Although the flying carpet's ability to rebound attacks was useful, she did not have that much spiritual energy in her body to consume.
Besides, the purpose of turning on the flying carpet's automatic rebound attack is to prevent sudden attacks. In a head-on confrontation with the enemy, she has good agility and also has other means of defense, such as armor and talismans.
Rong Xianxian's heart sank as she fought with the giant snake with horns on its head. Although the snake was huge, it was extremely flexible. After more than a dozen rounds, the Soul-Devouring Sword didn't even scratch the snake's skin. Instead, Rong Xianxian was accidentally hit. The talismans on her body shattered one after another, and even her armor was damaged. The poisonous mist spewed out by the snake formed miasma under the blocking of the dense branches and leaves. Even with a gas mask, Rong Xianxian could still feel the toxin penetrating through her clothes and entering her body through the pores on her skin.
There was not a trace of spiritual energy fluctuation on the giant snake, so it was impossible to tell what level it was. However, it was obvious that Rong Xianxian was no match for it at all. Faced with the huge gap in strength and excessive depletion of spiritual energy in her body, Rong Xianxian made up her mind to retreat immediately.
She stepped on the flying carpet and retreated in a vigilant posture. Fortunately, the big snake did not chase her. Rong Xianxian breathed a sigh of relief. The forest below was deep and dense, and the situation was unclear. Under the current circumstances, she had no intention of exploring, so she controlled the flying carpet to fly upwards. However, when she flew into the air, her eyes, which had been staring at the movements of the big snake, caught a glimpse of a nine-petal purple flower.
Rong Xianxian immediately stopped flying upwards. She concentrated her spiritual energy around her eyes and looked carefully.
Behind the big snake, there was a clear pond shaded by trees. There was a plant beside the pond with oval leaves arranged in a palm shape. The edges of the leaves had serrations and there were tiny bristles on the veins of the leaves. There was also a cylindrical stem in the center of the leaves, and a nine-petal purple flower bloomed on the top of the stem.
Rong Xianxian's heart beat faster as she stared at the plant. She felt like the blood in her chest was boiling, because this plant was clearly the blood ginseng that could nourish Tianyuan.
She had just seen this spiritual medicine when she was flipping through the "Spiritual Plant Map" in the car today. She also drew the appearance of this spiritual medicine for Pan Yang, Huo Ye and others, and asked them to pay more attention to it while traveling or around the camp.
But the one she asked everyone to pay attention to was the one with white flowers, while the one in front of them had purple flowers.
The cold hissing sound of the snake interrupted Rong Xianxian's gaze. The big snake noticed that Rong Xianxian was staring at the elixir behind it and became very angry. Its huge body instantly grew taller, and its iron-like tail swept towards Rong Xianxian with the force of thunder.
The spirit stone held in Rong Xianxian's palm turned from white to gray. She reactivated the flying carpet's defense function and slashed at the snake with the Soul-Devouring Sword.
Looks like I have to work hard today.
Even though repeatedly depleting spiritual energy in a short period of time would cause damage to her body, she didn't care, because there was a thousand-year-old spiritual medicine, the purple blood ginseng, here!
With this elixir, even if she couldn't make the Heaven-Repairing and Rejuvenating Pill, it could still extend Qingyun's life by ten years. Even, if she used it properly, it could extend her life by twenty or thirty years.
