Chapter 177 Stealing Home
All three of them were injured to varying degrees in this battle, and they took this opportunity to heal their wounds.
Another thing is to properly process and preserve the royal jelly they cut in the cave, so that when they return to the sect to hand in the task, most of the spiritual energy in the royal jelly will not be lost.
Lin Xiaoman was the least injured. He took two medicine pills and adjusted his breathing and he was almost fine. Seeing that the other two were still recovering, Lin Xiaoman simply walked away and took out his talisman drawing tools.
Since entering the Misty Forest, especially the fight in the valley, she had consumed a lot of talismans, especially the sleeping talisman and the phantom talisman.
She can now draw these two types of talismans very quickly, and every time she draws, it counts. In her current situation, it is not convenient for her to learn the Xuan-level talismans.
The three of them rested like this for three days, and discussed how to quietly enter the underground river. When everything was ready, they set off.
Half an hour later, three heads popped out from behind a large rock on the top of the mountain.
"Look, that fifth-level golden-armored bear is basking in the sun. He seems quite relaxed."
Chen Shuyan narrowed his eyes, turned to Lin Xiaoman and said, "Xiaoman, I want to grill bear paws, level five."
"Haha, sure. It's not like we haven't hunted fifth-level monsters before."
She also wanted to eat bear paws, the fifth-level ones. Oh my god, it tasted so good just thinking about it.
Li Qingshan listened helplessly and shook his head, "It's almost time."
The three of them agreed that they could not disturb both monsters at the same time. It would be best to use the invisibility talisman as Lin Xiaoman had done before, sneak into the underground river and collect the spiritual spring water.
The fifth-level golden-armored bear spends most of its time guarding the cave entrance. Even if it is not there, it will call other golden-armored bears to guard there. The only free time is when the bees go to the underground river to find food. The fifth-level golden-armored bear will enter the cave to get royal jelly.
It was only later that Lin Xiaoman recalled the whole incident and realized that the time when they first came to the valley and discovered that the fifth-level golden-armored bear came out of the cave was the same time when he encountered it when he came out of the underground river. At that time, the golden-armored bear also happened to be stealing royal jelly.
Therefore, she speculated that the golden bear would enter the cave to steal royal jelly every day when the bees went to the underground river to forage. This would create a time difference, and they could take advantage of this opportunity to sneak into the cave, wait for the golden bear to steal the royal jelly and leave, and for the bees to return to their nests, and then they could enter the underground river.
Lin Xiaoman and Chen Shuyan held their breath when they heard this, staring at the movements of the golden-armored bear in the valley. Sure enough, after a while, they saw the fifth-level golden-armored bear move and slowly walked towards the cave.
The three men's eyes lit up, and after the golden-armored bear entered the cave, they quickly put two invisibility talismans on themselves and ran down.
Without the fifth-level golden-armored bear, it would not be so easy for the other golden-armored bears to find their tracks.
After successfully avoiding those fourth-level golden-armored bears, the three of them entered the cave and followed Lin Xiaoman quickly forward. When they reached the fork in the road, they quickly entered it and stopped after walking for a while.
"Just stay here and wait for that golden-armored bear to leave."
The passage was very narrow, and it was just right for Lin Xiaoman to pass through alone. However, Chen Shuyan and Li Qingshan, who were taller than her, had a hard time and could only move sideways. Therefore, they could not go too deep into the passage, otherwise the time difference would not be enough later.
After waiting like this for about a quarter of an hour, heavy footsteps were heard outside. The three of them felt nervous, thinking that the Golden Armored Bear was about to leave.
At the same time, an enticing sweet fragrance came, but the air was mixed with an unpleasant fishy stench. Alas, such delicious royal jelly wasted.
As the golden-armored bear's footsteps receded further and further away, Lin Xiaoman seemed to hear a faint buzzing sound. Almost at the same time, Li Qingshan's voice echoed in his mind. "The bees are back."
She was shocked, and Chen Shuyan beside her was a little confused, "So fast?"
So she and Li Qingshan were the only ones who heard it? Was this... her mental power so strong?
She didn't have time to think about it. It was definitely not possible for them to block this passage at this time. They needed to leave quickly and wait for the bees to pass through this passage and return to their hive.
"Walk."
Feeling that the fifth-level golden-armored bear should have left the cave, the three of them quickly left the passage, walked a distance from the other side of the fork in the road, and hid.
When the buzzing sound became louder and louder, several people were ready in their hands, ready to deal with the situation of being discovered by the swarm of bees at any time.
Fortunately, the cave was filled with the breath of the fifth-level golden-armored bear, which covered up their breath and prevented them from being discovered by the group of bees. After they left and returned to the hive, Lin Xiaoman and the other two hurried down the passage.
They arrived safely at the river below. Li Qingshan and Chen Shuyan were both shocked by the scene in front of them, especially Li Qingshan, who gasped.
"Oh my god, this is the Qingling Lotus. It's a pity that it hasn't borne fruit yet. The seeds of the Qingling Lotus are particularly good for spiritual cultivation."
Lin Xiaoman was surprised. "Pure Spirit Lotus? What kind of spiritual plant is this? I have never seen it in any collection of spiritual herbs."
"It's a special spiritual plant, very rare. However, the seeds of the Qingling Lotus are almost non-existent on the Haoyue Continent. This is because its growing environment is extremely difficult. It cannot see a single ray of sunlight and lives underground all year round. It takes a hundred years for leaves to grow, a hundred years for flowers to bloom, and a thousand years for fruits to bear."
Lin Xiaoman almost didn't react to what he said. Isn't it normal for a plant to bloom and bear fruit in a hundred years? How come it takes a thousand years to bear fruit? The flowering period is too long.
Lin Xiaoman suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. There really aren't any lotus seeds here, only lotus flowers."
What a pity!
"But, the royal jelly should taste better than normal."
Lin Xiaoman suddenly thought of something. Since the bees were all foraging here, the royal jelly they produced should have a similar effect, right?
"Come here, look, this is the puddle. It's full again." Lin Xiaoman quickly took out the water from the puddle and poured it into the jade bottle little by little.
"Brother Li, Shuyan, do you have any empty jade bottles? Preferably, they should be empty bottles that contain Ju Yuan Dan or Yuan Ling Dan, or other elixirs that replenish spiritual power."
"I have it, I have it. I kept it all."
Chen Shuyan quickly took out a bunch of jade bottles from his storage bag. Li Qingshan touched his nose awkwardly, rummaged through the boxes and drawers for a while, and took out five from the storage bag.
Ten bottles can be produced each time, and they are divided among the three of them. According to the method discussed at the beginning, Lin Xiaoman was the first to discover it, so he was given more bottles. Chen Shuyan and Li Qingshan each got three bottles.
It would take an hour before they could load it for the second time. The three of them had nothing else to do, so they decided to look for other treasures in the underground river.
"Let's look for it. Maybe we can find the seeds of the Qingling Lotus."
Chen Shuyan was full of anticipation. In this mission, being able to get the spiritual spring water would already be a big profit. If they could also find the lotus seeds of the Qingling Lotus, wow, hahahaha, then they would make a fortune.
