Following my second uncle to raid tombs, one shovelful of earth led me to the world of immortal cult

Chapter 15 Fifth-Tier Ferocious Beasts and Sixth-Tier Spiritual Herbs

"That's it, I guess I'll get nothing today."

In the Cangwu Mountains, a team was exploring forward dejectedly. The one who said those words was the team leader.

Qi Haoyue.

"Hehe! Don't be discouraged, it's only noon now, there's still hope for the afternoon."

Lin Que, with a long sword on his back, a blade of grass in his mouth, and his hands behind his head, spoke carelessly.

"You don't seem to care at all. Don't you even consider what you'll use to trade in the city in a few days if you don't make any money today?" Qi Haoyue looked up at the sky and, through the dense, forest-like leaves, realized that the sun was indeed at midday. He shouted, "Rest where you are!"

Lin Que's eyes lit up when he heard Qi Haoyue's words. He quickly ran to sit down next to him and chuckled, "Can I take you with me when we go into the city? I haven't been out to see anything yet."

Qi Haoyue, who was resting on the ground, glanced back at Lin Que and said, "You need to ask the village chief for permission. The location of the village is a secret."

"I heard that this must not be known to outsiders."

"Otherwise, there will be a great disaster."

"Therefore, every time we go to the city to trade or make purchases, we must go to someone we trust in the village."

"I don't know the specific reason either."

Lin Que understood what was going on after hearing Qi Haoyue's cautious words, having heard the story told by the village chief.

After thinking about it, I realized that I should indeed be cautious. If I accidentally revealed the location of the village, it would definitely attract my enemies.

Lin Que looked at Qi Haoyue with great confidence and said, "Hehe! Don't worry! The village chief will agree."

"Really? Then I wish you good luck!"

Qi Haoyue looked listless and didn't pay attention to what Lin Que said. She was still thinking about how to make a profit today.

After all, since entering the mountain this morning, they haven't seen any third or fourth-tier ferocious beasts, let alone ordinary first or second-tier ferocious beasts. It's as if all the ferocious beasts have hidden away today. They haven't seen a single one, so it's no wonder the whole team is so frustrated.

At this moment, Qi Xiyue swayed her slender figure as she walked over, her beautiful eyes smiling as she looked at the two of them.

She handed the two of them the dry rations she was carrying, her red lips slightly parted: "Alright! It's noon, you two should eat something."

Lin Que took the dried meat from Qi Xiyue, thanked her, and began to eat it.

After Qi Haoyue took it, she felt that the size of the jerky in her hand was a little off.

With a bitter expression, he complained to Qi Xiyue, "Sis! What's going on? Why is my rations so much smaller than Lin Que's?"

"Cough cough!"

Lin Que was eating the jerky in his hand when he felt thirsty and took a sip of water, but he choked on it when he was called "sister".

He stared at the two of them with utter shock.

At the same time, his eyes swept over the two of them, and he exclaimed in surprise, "You two are siblings?!"

"That's right! Didn't you know? I thought you already knew!" Qi Xiyue said with a smile, then turned to Qi Haoyue and scolded, "Eat less, you should lose some weight, it's for your own good."

"Sis! I'm strong! I'm strong! Okay?"

"Nobody ever told me you were siblings."

Lin Que's forehead was covered in black lines as he looked left and right at the two people.

A man with a dark complexion and a burly build.

She was slender and had fair skin.

They don't look like siblings at all.

Qi Haoyue shouted fiercely, "What are you looking at!"

"No...nothing."

Lin Que was also embarrassed.

......

After lunch, the team rested for half an hour before setting off again.

Another hour passed, and still nothing was gained. The entire team had given up hope for today's harvest.

As he walked, Lin Que suddenly felt the spiritual energy surging within his body, and the Taiqing Chaos Technique silently began to operate on its own.

Something seemed to be drawing him from the bushes ahead, and Lin Que involuntarily stepped out, heading towards the direction emanating the alluring scent.

"Hey! Still nothing... Hey! Hey! Lin Que, where are you going?"

The people in the group also saw Lin Que walk in another direction, and for a moment they were curious and followed him.

Lin Que walked up to a clump of trees and reached out to part them.

Looking ahead, Lin Que's eyes widened in surprise. What came into view was a strange little plant.

The small grass was entirely silvery-white, radiating a faint white light. Within a meter of it, nothing else grew, making it appear exceptionally unique and independent.

At this moment, the group members also came to Lin Que's side.

Qi Haoyue exclaimed upon seeing the small grass ahead, "That white light and aura! It's a sixth-tier spirit herb!"

"This is a sixth-grade spirit herb! We're rich! We're rich!"

Seeing Qi Haoyue's excited expression, Lin Que asked, "How did you know this was a sixth-grade spiritual herb?"

“A sixth-order spiritual herb is already considered high-grade. Just from its appearance alone, you can tell it’s definitely not simple. Judging from the aura it emits, it’s definitely a sixth-order spiritual herb.” Qi Haoyue also explained to Lin Que, “This kind of spiritual herb is really too rare. I didn’t expect to encounter it on the outskirts of the mountain range.”

Lin Que asked curiously, "How much is this spiritual herb worth?"

"It's hard to say. Although I don't know its exact value, it's definitely not low!"

Lin Que was secretly excited upon hearing this. He hadn't expected that the Taiqing Chaos Technique would have a treasure-hunting function and be able to sense special auras.

The whole team was overjoyed. They hadn't expected such a great harvest. This one spiritual herb alone was worth at least a year's worth of harvest.

Lin Que and Qi Haoyue exchanged a glance, preparing to discuss how to harvest the fruit.

"Let me go. You two men are too clumsy. If you damage the roots, it won't be worth anything," Qi Xiyue said from the side.

Lin Que and the other man thought about it and agreed that they were really not suited for such delicate work.

"Then be careful."

"rest assured!"

After giving a wink with her beautiful eyes, Qi Xiyue walked towards the spiritual herb.

As Qi Xiyue drew closer, Lin Que felt something was amiss and a strange unease crept into his heart.

Gradually, this feeling became stronger and stronger!

Just as Qi Xiyue was about to touch the spiritual herb, she suddenly heard a loud shout from behind!

"careful!"

She was startled by the shout and looked up to find a huge creature swooping down on her.

"what!"

Qi Xiyue's exquisite face turned deathly pale instantly, and she stared wide-eyed, frozen in place.

He thought, "It's over!"

It's too late, but it's soon.

Just as she was about to despair, she felt a hand encircle her slender waist.

He was rapidly retreating backward!

"Boom!"

A loud bang!

The enormous creature crashed heavily onto the ground.

After she moved out of the safe zone, she finally got a clear look at the enormous figure.

Its entire body was covered in blue scales, and its huge, slender body had four claws. Its tail, which resembled a swimming dragon, was swaying back and forth.

The enormous head was staring intently at them, with a pair of horns faintly visible on its head.

It was actually a fifth-tier ferocious beast, the Mountain Dragon!

"Are you OK?"
