Shh! Shh! Shh!
Suddenly, he heard a series of sounds coming from the bushes in the distance. He quickly turned his head and saw five or six figures gradually rushing towards him.
"Rat beasts? These rat beasts look very similar to the ones I used to kill Zhang Yugui."
Lin Xiaofei recognized the figures rushing towards him at a glance.
To his surprise, he encountered several rat-like beasts in this desolate, grassy graveyard, and they were even coming for him.
Lin Xiaofei recalled a rat-like beast that had once harmed the villagers' chickens, and a murderous intent rose in his heart. Without hesitation, he took a step forward and swung his longsword, the sword light flashing.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
The sword flashed past at lightning speed, slicing through the throats of several rat-beasts. The blade struck as if it were cutting through several stacked cowhides. He immediately realized that these rat-beasts were not weak, possessing the physical bodies of ordinary early-stage martial artists.
However, Lin Xiaofei's strength far exceeded that of the rat beasts, and he killed them with a single sword strike.
"How could there be rat-like beasts here? That's strange."
"Wait, there seems to be a strong herbal smell around their mouths. Could they be looking for herbs to eat?"
Thinking this to himself, Lin Xiaofei quickly walked towards the place where the rat-like beasts had appeared earlier.
He saw several large medicinal herbs in the grass, broken off from the bottom of their branches, and the branches were gone. He immediately realized that these herbs had been eaten by the rat beast.
Fortunately, the roots of the herbs were still intact, so he could dig them out and plant them in the space bead.
As he dug up the roots of several herbs and placed them into the spatial bead, the grass in the distance suddenly shook violently, as if something was rushing towards him at high speed.
In an instant, the scene before my eyes changed.
At this moment, several mountains appeared before him, and a beautiful young girl dressed in white was running from among the mountains.
However, the girl looked panicked, as if some wild beast was chasing her.
"Help! Young master, there's a wolf chasing me! Please come and save me!"
The woman looked flustered as she jogged over, her every move exuding an alluring charm.
"Okay, I'm coming!"
Lin Xiaofei called out and strode forward.
"Young master, you're holding a long sword. I'm scared. You should throw it away."
The woman jogged along, staring at the long sword in Lin Xiaofei's hand, and cried out in fear.
Are you afraid of longswords?
Lin Xiaofei strode forward, a hint of doubt on his face, and quickly said, "Don't be afraid, I'll deal with the gray wolf that appeared behind you, otherwise how can I save you?"
As she spoke, countless sword shadows flashed rapidly through the void ahead, crisscrossing the sky. Several mountains in front of her shattered, and the girl in white was also buried by the sword shadows.
"roar!"
A mournful roar rang out, and the once beautiful and charming girl in white was instantly slashed by countless sword lights, her beautiful appearance completely changed.
At this moment, the other party completely revealed their true colors.
It turned out to be an even larger rat-like beast with a ferocious expression.
Lin Xiaofei took a few steps back, only to see the rat beast charge forward again. Its rat claws quickly grew to the length of chopsticks, and it swung them around violently, trying to block the sword shadow in front of it.
However, Lin Xiaofei unleashed a sword light with immense power and overwhelming momentum, like a surging wave sweeping across the sky, directly severing the seemingly sharp rat claws. With a flash of sword light, it struck directly in the rat's chest.
puff!
Blood splattered everywhere. Lin Xiaofei glanced around and saw that the rat-beast was still alive and pounced again.
"court death!"
Lin Xiaofei remained calm, coldly uttered a sentence, and with a flick of his longsword, thrust it forward.
The rat-beast's low-level illusion was completely useless against him.
Before he arrived here, he had already used the Illusionary Eye Technique, so that everything within a hundred-meter radius around him was visible to him.
At this moment, the rat beast once again used illusion magic, trying to seduce him with the beauty of a woman and make him stop what he was doing. How could that be possible?
Sizzle!
The beautiful girl who appeared in the illusion was instantly cleaved in two by a sword light and destroyed.
"roar!"
The rat-beast let out a miserable cry as half of its chest was cleaved away, and blood gushed out as if it were free.
Immediately afterwards, a strong smell of blood hit the air. It fell to the ground, its body trembling slightly. It rolled over and was about to crawl into the grass.
Without hesitation, Lin Xiaofei swung his longsword, and another flash of sword light appeared.
It was completely powerless to fight, and slowly crawled away, only to have its head severed by a sword, its body completely cut in two, and it soon went silent.
"It seems to have eaten quite a few herbs as well."
Lin Xiaofei glanced at the massive rat-beast carcass, sniffed the herbal scent in the air, and a guess formed in his mind.
The aura emanated from the rat-beast's mouth, carrying a strong herbal scent. Given the rat-beast's peak-level strength, Lin Xiaofei concluded that it must have consumed even more herbs.
Lin Xiaofei quickly followed the trail left by the giant rat and indeed saw some of the herbs it had eaten, with only some roots remaining.
"In a short period of time, the number of herbs planted in the space bead has reached more than 5,500."
Looking at the number of herbs planted inside the spatial bead, Lin Xiaofei was overjoyed.
"These herb-smelling pills are quite effective at finding herbs. In just half an hour, I've found more than 1,300 of them."
This made him very happy.
Aside from the time he went hunting strange beasts with Elder Wang Qingguang and dug up a large amount of wild herbs in the cave below, this was the only time he obtained a considerable amount of herbs, and the method of finding herbs was quite easy.
He was overjoyed to have found more than five thousand herbs, and he wished he could speed up his cultivation of the advanced techniques to quickly improve his martial arts level. However, his reason told him that it was better to continue searching for herbs for now.
After calming down from his excitement, Lin Xiaofei looked around and realized that he had arrived at the deepest part of the wilderness.
He was already curious about the few rat-beasts that had appeared before, but then another rat-beast with considerable strength rushed out and tried to kill him, which he found very strange.
He's only here to search for some wild herbs; he shouldn't attract the attention of weak beasts.
"That rat-beast I just killed was clearly trying to kill me, so why did it do that?"
Lin Xiaofei's eyes darted around as he thought for a moment.
Low-level spell!
The fact that this rat-beast cast a spell three times is quite intriguing.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Xiaofei used his lightness skill to flash towards the deepest part of the place.
With the Illusionary Eye Technique flashing above his eyes, the area within a hundred meters in front of him became as bright as day, taking in everything.
"Hmm? There's a strong, pleasant aroma of herbs wafting from here!"
Suddenly, a night breeze blew by, carrying a strong scent of herbs. Lin Xiaofei took a deep breath, his eyes lit up, and he turned to look at a small ravine in the distance.
