Chapter 311 Spirit Plant Garden
Upon entering the Spirit Plant Garden, both were awestruck by the sight before them. Throughout the valley, spirit plants were everywhere, shimmering with spiritual light, and various rare herbs and spirit plants grew in a specific pattern.
Each spiritual plant exudes a rich spiritual energy fluctuation, and some are even accompanied by a faint spiritual light, clearly indicating that they are extremely rare varieties.
"My God, this place is practically a holy land for alchemists!" Lin Ye couldn't help but exclaim. "Just a few plants picked here could fetch an astronomical price!"
Mo Ming, however, appeared even more cautious. He glanced around and whispered a reminder: "Be careful, there's no way this place isn't protected. Don't rush to pick them, observe the surroundings first."
Upon hearing this, Lin Ye immediately suppressed his excitement and nodded, saying, "You're right. The more treasures there are in a place like this, the greater the danger."
The two carefully made their way through the spirit plant garden, observing the surrounding environment and searching for the distribution patterns of the spirit plants.
Soon after, they actually discovered some patterns: the spiritual plants in the spiritual plant garden seemed to be distributed according to the concentration of spiritual energy. The closer to the center of the valley, the stronger the spiritual energy and the higher the quality of the spiritual plants.
"It seems the central area is the most valuable place," Lin Ye said in a low voice.
Mo Ming nodded: "That's right! The token can only open the Spirit Plant Garden for one hour. After that, it's up to each person to rely on their own abilities!"
"Got it!"
The two reached an agreement and then each began to carefully pick the spiritual plants.
Just as they were halfway through picking, Lin Ye suddenly stopped and whispered, "Wait, did you hear something?"
Mo Ming immediately became alert and listened intently. After a moment, his expression changed slightly: "It sounds like... panting!"
Upon hearing this, both of them unconsciously swallowed.
A moment later, a deep roar echoed from the depths of the valley, followed by a colossal beast covered in blue scales slowly emerging from the depths of the spirit plant garden. The beast's eyes gleamed with intelligence, unlike any ordinary ferocious creature.
"It seems that our picking of spiritual plants has disturbed it," Mo Ming said in a low voice, his tone tinged with seriousness.
Lin Ye smiled wryly, "Sure enough, where there is treasure, there is danger. What do we do now? Fight them head-on?"
Mo Ming's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice, "Don't fight it head-on. This spirit beast might just be a guardian and hasn't attacked us on its own. Let's try retreating first and see if it continues to pursue us. If it's just guarding the central area, then we shouldn't take the risk for now."
The two quickly retreated, carefully putting away the spiritual plants in their hands, while cautiously observing the spirit beast's reaction.
Sure enough, the giant blue-scaled beast only let out a low growl before stopping, seemingly not intending to give chase.
Just as the two breathed a sigh of relief and were about to slow down and leave, a sudden change occurred.
The giant azure-scaled beast suddenly let out a deafening roar, its massive body soaring into the air like a mountain, instantly creating a strong wind pressure. The entire spirit plant garden seemed to tremble slightly under its roar.
"Oops!"
Mo Ming's expression changed drastically. He quickly pulled Lin Ye to his side and whispered, "This beast is quite intelligent and knows how to play hard to get. Run!"
The Azure Scale Beast's reaction was clearly unexpected. Its dark blue scales emitted a deep and cold light under the faint illumination of the spiritual light, and a huge fluctuation of spiritual energy rushed towards them as if it were a tangible thing.
It suddenly opened its huge mouth, and a cyan wind blade shot out, slashing straight towards the location where the two were!
"Flash!"
Lin Ye shouted, and the two of them dodged away as fast as arrows on a bowstring. But when the wind blades passed by the spot where they had just stood, the ground was instantly slashed with a deep crack, showing their terrifying power.
"That beast went way too far!"
Mo Ming cursed with lingering fear, but before he could finish speaking, the azure-scaled beast had already closed in again. It pushed off with all four legs, its massive body leaping towards them, its two pairs of cold, gleaming eyes fixed on the two of them as if they were prey.
Lin Ye, with a grim face, quickly crushed a jade talisman and shouted, "Wind Avoidance Technique!" As he spoke, a transparent spiritual light enveloped the two of them, and with a flash of light, they instantly appeared dozens of feet away.
"Holy crap, you've got a secret weapon up your sleeve? Use it to deal with it!" Mo Ming was a little nervous.
Lin Ye's expression was bitter as he spoke rapidly, "This is my only teleportation talisman; it can only buy me a little time! Ordinary magic weapons are useless against spirit beasts of this level!"
"So what do we do now? Fight or run?"
Mo Ming's gaze sharpened: "We can't possibly defeat it even if we fight! We must buy time. As long as we get close enough to the gate to the Spirit Plant Garden, the token will become invalid, the exit will open, and we'll have a chance to escape! Listen to my command, don't linger in the fight!"
Lin Ye pursed his lips and nodded vigorously. "Okay!"
At this moment, the azure-scaled behemoth seemed to be enraged as well. Its long tail slammed into the ground, sending dust flying, and it charged forward again, using the force of the impact. Its imposing presence was incredibly heavy on everyone's hearts.
Then, Lin Ye swiftly threw out another scroll, infusing it with spiritual energy, instantly transforming it into a barrier in front of the two. The azure-scaled behemoth crashed into the barrier, its spiritual light bursting forth with a deafening roar, and the protective scroll's spiritual light barrier shattered instantly!
"This beast is terrifying!" Lin Ye thought of the spiritual plants he had just picked, a hint of reluctance in his eyes, but he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "These spiritual plants are its bottom line, let's throw them away."
Mo Ming frowned and shook his head: "No! Even if we surrender, it may not let us go easily. This spirit beast should be the guardian spirit beast of the spirit plant garden. We have already been taken as a threat because we took the spirit plants."
As they spoke, they had to dodge again in a sorry state. The tail of the azure-scaled behemoth drew a terrifying crescent arc, and a sharp explosion could be faintly heard in the air. Clearly, it was not only incredibly strong, but also proficient in the way of spiritual energy.
"You were so fierce when you were fucking me outside, so stop holding back and get it done now!" Lin Ye shouted speechlessly.
It's no wonder Lin Ye felt unbalanced. Ever since the spirit beast suddenly attacked, Mo Ming had been dodging and hadn't used any items or skills. It was all Lin Ye who was dealing damage.
It's both a teleportation talisman and a scroll barrier!
Mo Ming was definitely slacking off, and even managed to steal several rare spiritual plants.
Moreover, without Lin Ye noticing, Mo Ming directly threw some of the collected spiritual plants into the Five Elements Furnace's heavy water.
Mo Ming scratched his head, revealing an embarrassed smile. "Haha, what are you saying? I'm just accumulating strength!"
Lin Ye rolled his eyes.
"Now, watch me!"
