Chapter 285:
Xiao Yu followed the main force and rushed forward desperately. As a lazy homebody, when did he ever get so much exercise? But in order to survive, and to make the "play" real, he had to do so.
He ran for an unknown amount of time, collecting some spiritual herbs along the way, imitating others' errands. They were all first- and second-level herbs that could be used to refine elixirs for the late Qi Refining and Spiritual Yuan Realm (Foundation Building) stages. Even if he saw them, it wouldn't be his turn, nor those of the other low-level cultivators who were being driven around like him.
"Oh, I'm so hungry! Shouldn't we stop and eat something?" Xiao Yu touched his stomach, looking very ignorant.
"Didn't you take the Qigong pill before coming in?" A Qi Refining Level 6 cultivator asked, "There are only fifteen days left. Who has time to eat?"
Xiao Yu said with a bitter face: "It has been several days now. I have been running like this all the time. It consumes a lot of energy. And I think my fasting pill must be of inferior quality. It's a pity that I have only been in Wanxiang Pavilion for a few days!"
"You can stop and rest at night. If you can find food then, no one will bother you." A Qi Refining Level 5 cultivator said, "But basically, spiritual fruits and the like are not ours. It's best to find those low-level demon beasts."
"Yes, someone found some spiritual fruits before and wanted to use them to fill their stomachs, but in the end, they were all..." Someone made a gesture of wiping his neck.
☆
Xiao Yu shuddered, but he held his stomach and ran slower and slower. Suddenly, his footing lost its balance, and a large horse crawled onto the ground. Before he could get up, feeling embarrassed, something suddenly wrapped around his foot.
Xiao Yu reacted and struggled immediately, shouting in panic: "Help!" Unfortunately, the more he shouted, the faster the low-level Qi-refining practitioner who had just been traveling with him, like a family member, ran.
"What kind of vine is that? It's actually red." A Qi Refining Level 8 cultivator wanted to step forward.
"And the black ones, don't go. They're definitely either poisonous or bloodthirsty."
Xiao Yu looked at the eighth-level Qi training master eagerly: "Save me..." Before he finished speaking, countless vines suddenly jumped up around him. The eighth-level and ninth-level Qi training masters who were still hesitating a second ago immediately ran away.
☆
Xiao Yu just watched helplessly as several "slave owners" escaped with great difficulty under the attack of vines and the cover of several senior guards.
Hula——
Xiao Yu was hung upside down along with several other corpses. He almost came into close contact with other half-rotten prey hanging in the air in the vine forest that was as huge as a giant mountain.
Having witnessed battlefields and countless famines, Xiao Yu's courage was no longer as timid as before. However, the sight of the endless vine forest and the vast numbers of hanged men was still quite... haunting.
The small red lotus, disguised as the Wood Spirit Fire, which had caused a sensation throughout the secret realm, transformed into a red lotus mark, appearing between Xiao Yu's eyebrows. The vines that had tightly locked Xiao Yu's legs and feet a second ago shuddered and quickly retracted.
Xiao Yu was quick-witted and agile, and he did a somersault in mid-air, thus avoiding close contact between his face and the white bones on the ground.
After finally standing firm, he was about to leave the woods.
Xiao Yu looked at the things under his feet and hesitated. Because there were too many "prey" in the vine forest, the weapons of the "prey" were already scattered all over the ground like bones.
These weapons, though somewhat rusted, looked antique and valuable. Crucially, they also looked sturdy. He and Mr. Zhou had just arrived, and although they had taken over someone else's identity, their future was uncertain.
☆
"I'm just passing by. Why not pick some up? Maybe I can sell them for money," Xiao Yu thought. He honestly pulled out a pair of red leather laundry gloves from his space and began picking through the ground. Because of the red lotus fire between his eyebrows, the vines of Vine Peak obediently gave way as soon as he passed. Some even used their roots to help him dig out the scrap metal from the mud.
"Thanks." Xiao Yu picked up something that looked like a Bagua mirror. It had a beautiful shape and was quite heavy in his hand. If it were sold as scrap metal, it could fetch at least ten dollars.
Since this tree root was so powerful, Xiao Yu had an idea and used the magic of the land god to perform the "spring breeze and rain magic" on the other party.
The root system immediately trembled and twitched on the ground in comfort, and then, like a seven or eight-year-old child, it excitedly drilled in and out among the roots on the ground.
Soon, a pile of messy things appeared in front of Xiao Yu.
Broken storage bags, Qiankun rings, swords, daggers, tokens, armor, shields, etc. Although most of these things are broken, the materials for refining should be good, and they all have spiritual energy.
Xiao Yu, with the mentality of a 'junk picker', accepted everything that came his way. He thought it was a good idea; at worst, he could just sell it off as scrap metal. He would make a profit by selling a spirit bead or spirit stone.
☆
Adhering to the sincere "method of friendship" of reciprocity, Xiao Yu would "repay" every time "Shugen" sent something. Finally, Shugen finally couldn't help but take out its private collection.
It was a string of twenty or thirty Qiankun rings, each with a very large space.
Since the owner is dead, these Qiankun Rings can be checked at will by anyone with spiritual consciousness.
Xiao Yu took out the things in the Qiankun Ring one by one without hesitation.
If it suits Shugen, then Shugen should take it. He can't just take away everyone else's private stash without even giving them a sip of soup. That doesn't align with Xiao's values.
"Don't fight, don't fight. I don't want anything you like." Xiao Yu said as he opened another Qiankun Ring. In an instant, the ground was filled with a mess of things.
