Chapter 449: Grass-Headed Miasma Mother

Without stopping, Xiao Mian and Gui Hai headed straight for Longhutan, 3,000 miles away in the south.

With the speed of their flight, they could reach Longhutan in one day.

They didn't want to go south along the way. It was originally quite peaceful, but as time went by, more and more monsters, goblins, and ghosts came out to rob. These small fish and shrimps naturally couldn't cause any harm to the two, but they also successfully hindered their journey.

At sunrise, Xiao Mian opened his eyes.

It turned out that Xiao Mian and Gui Hai went deep into the jungle last night and attracted a sixth-level monster, Jade Tooth Rock Elephant. Although the two avoided the Jade Tooth Rock Elephant in time, they also deeply realized that the closer they got to Longhutan, the more dangerous it would be, so they had to be cautious.

Therefore, the two found a quiet place and sat cross-legged to meditate, one to restore some true energy, and the other to avoid the midnight, after all, the midnight is the active period of monsters.

After discussing with Gui Hai, the two continued to travel south.

Since we have come here, we must see the Dragon and Tiger Pool.

If the Dragon and Tiger Pool is really a den of dragons and tigers, where one can survive a life-threatening situation, Xiao Mian will naturally not be stingy with 100,000 middle-grade spirit stones - he is willing to pay Ou Haiyang's toll, so how can he be hard on himself? Of course, the 100,000 middle-grade spirit stones given to Ou Haiyang were actually all paid by the Purple-Robed Marquis, otherwise, with Xiao Mian's personality, he would not necessarily be so generous!

As for the Cloud Ladder, Xiao Mian did not even think about it.

The Cloud Ladder, seemingly famous, actually hides a dangerous plot.

At noon that day, Xiao Mian and Gui Hai finally arrived at the legendary Dragon and Tiger Pool.

When they arrived at the end of the place, they were dumbfounded.

The Dragon and Tiger Pool was not without human traces. On the contrary, there were no less than a hundred people gathered here in groups of three or five, all of whom were Jindan cultivators.

You know, even in Wanzong City at the beginning, the number of Jindan cultivators was only about a thousand people. I didn't expect that this small Longhutan actually gathered nearly a hundred Jindan cultivators. Although most of the Jindan cultivators in Nanyue Province are independent cultivators and do not live in Wanzong City all year round, the number of Jindan cultivators in Longhutan is also huge!

Thinking of this, Xiao Mian and Gui Hai exchanged glances and secretly became alert.

When Xiao Mian and Gui Hai arrived, some of the Jindan cultivators looked sideways, some ignored them, some just glanced at them, and some kept staring at the two of them... At the same time, Xiao Mian and Gui Hai were also observing these first comers. Fortunately, there were no top-level Jindan cultivators among them. This discovery made Xiao Mian and Gui Hai feel a lot more relaxed, and they turned to look at the surrounding environment.

Besides, the place where everyone gathered was a piece of land in the center of a swamp.

The surroundings were all smelly swamps with swamp bubbles. The strange thing was that the flat land where everyone gathered not only did not have the slightest stench, but was full of spiritual energy. What's even more amazing is that the outer side of this land is covered by a pale yellow light circle.

Seeing that the several flying light poisonous fireflies that had been following him all the way before stopped in front of the pale yellow light cover, Xiao Mian had a vague understanding in his heart and seemed to be thinking about something.

But at this moment, Xiao Mian's eyebrows moved and his heart was slightly stunned.

Suddenly, something in Xiao Mian's storage bag spontaneously transmitted a wave of energy fluctuations. If only one thing had this situation, Xiao Mian would have thought it was his illusion, but it happened that two things emitted energy fluctuations at the same time.

More than ten years ago, Xiao Mian had obtained a chessboard-shaped fragment from the two brothers Liu Erhuai and Liu Sanhuai, but although the two fragments could sense each other when put together, they were still missing the last and largest fragment.

Unexpectedly, today, the two fragments that had been lying quietly in Xiao Mian's storage bag for more than ten years actually vibrated at the same time and stimulated a wave of energy fluctuations.

Suppressing his suspicion, Xiao Mian pretended to be calm, and found a low rock with Gui Hai in the open space at the edge of the land to rest cross-legged.

For a moment, Xiao Mian wanted to throw the two broken chessboards into the forbidden spirit box, but on second thought, Xiao Mian did not do so.

Since he could sense the fluctuations of the two fragments, it was expected that the person holding the third fragment must have sensed it. If he rashly put the two fragments into the forbidden spirit box, it would only alert the snake and be a cover-up!

Besides, Xiao Mian really wanted to see who the third fragment fell into.

You know, after the two fragments were merged, although the chessboard was still incomplete, some illusions could be vaguely seen, which made Xiao Mian more looking forward to what pattern would appear after the chessboard was complete. If it was a treasure map, Xiao Mian would not be surprised.

However, it seems that if the eldest brother of the Liu family was not killed and robbed of his treasure, then Liu Dahuai is currently in Longhutan. No matter which possibility it is, it shows that the third chessboard fragment is now in the hands of a Jindan strongman, which is beyond doubt.

But now Xiao Mian can only confirm that the third fragment is on this flat land, but he cannot be sure who it is, after all, there are more than hundreds of people at the scene; if the other party also has a sense, it is enough to confirm that Xiao Mian or Gui Hai has two fragments. Who said that only Xiao Mian and the other two had been here just now, just like lice on a bald head!

Being in the open and the enemy in the dark, this is Xiao Mian's biggest disadvantage.

However, seemingly disadvantageous, sometimes it can be turned into an advantage...

Xiao Mian, who was thinking secretly, was awakened by Gui Hai's exclamation.

Looking up, he saw Gui Hai motioning him to look elsewhere. Xiao Mian turned to look curiously. The next moment, although he did not exclaim, his heart skipped a beat.

What he saw was an unknown spiritual grass with a faint blue luster all over its body!

Thinking back to when he was in Wanzongyuan, Xiao Mian was very close to Ding Kaishan and even the old ancestor Yuchu. He had been in and out of the secret storehouse of spiritual herbs in Nongjialiu several times. As a result, Xiao Mian's knowledge of ordinary spiritual herbs has been rising steadily. Xiao Mian recognizes most of the ordinary spiritual herbs.

But the spiritual herb that appeared in front of him was something Xiao Mian had never seen before.

The spiritual herb was in the shape of three leaves, each leaf looked like a peacock's tail feather, and each tail feather had a pattern that looked like an eyeball. What was even more magical was that this spiritual herb was surrounded by a faint blue light. Xiao Mian knew this: any spiritual herb that grew to ten thousand years old would have its own spirituality and spiritual light shining outward, and it would be like this.

In other words, this was actually a ten thousand year old spiritual herb!

Not only that, just from the fact that Xiao Mian did not recognize this spiritual herb, the grade of this spiritual herb must be not low. Conservatively speaking, it was probably a ten thousand year old spiritual herb of the seventh grade or above!

Even Xiao Mian, who was so determined, could not help but be greedy for a moment.

But the next moment, Xiao Mian's mind suddenly became bright, and his eyes became clear.

Huh...

After exhaling a breath of turbid air, Xiao Mian smiled and shook his head at Gui Hai. Gui Hai was stunned, but the next moment, he stopped looking at the three-eyed spiritual grass.

Since Xiao Mian indicated that he could not move rashly, Gui Hai did not intend to move.

This is a kind of trust, and trust is often mutual-just like Xiao Mian's eyes can make Gui Hai give up the suspected seventh-level ten thousand-year-old spiritual grass, just like Xiao Mian believed that he could make Gui Hai give up the suspected seventh-level ten thousand-year-old spiritual grass with a glance.

The two people turned a blind eye to the top-grade spiritual grass, which made those Jindan cultivators who were originally planning to watch the excitement happy for nothing.

At this time, someone took two steps and came to Xiao Mian and the others.

"My name is Ji Wuchang. I'd like to ask you two brothers what your names are?"

"My name is Xiao Qingyun! This is my elder brother!" Standing up, Xiao Mian smiled at the man calmly. He and Gui Hai had just arrived, and no matter what Ji Wuchang's purpose was, it was not good to reach out and hit someone who smiled at him. After greeting, Ji Wuchang pointed at the thousand-year-old spiritual grass and asked with a smile: "Brother Xiao, why do you ignore the treasure?"

"Even if it is really a treasure, it may not be easy to take, right? Otherwise, why would it be our turn? But I think this thing is really strange, I hope Brother Ji can tell you!"

"Brother Xiao is really smart! Among all the fellows present, almost all of them have suffered from this 'grass-head miasma mother'. There are very few who are as calm as Brother Xiao!"

"Grass-head miasma mother?"

"This grass-head miasma mother is a thousand-year-old spiritual grass that has decayed. The rich spiritual energy contained in it has suddenly turned into miasma, which is a poisonous substance in the world! It's fine if you two don't touch it. If you move it rashly, the consequences will be disastrous..."

Ji Wuchang just said this, and heard a light "bo" sound.

The three of them turned to look and saw that the spiritual herb that was in full bloom suddenly burst open, and the whole plant exploded into a ball of rich spiritual energy. However, the spiritual energy was dim and dull, not only did it not move, but it seemed dead...
