A small casual cultivator!

Chapter 453 Swamp Hunting

Although the Blood Swamp is a desolate place, it is full of vitality due to the fertile soil. Various strange aquatic plants and reeds are more than ten feet high, and there are large areas of towering ancient trees growing on some piles of earth.

After flying in the air for four or five quarters of an hour, the two felt it was about time, so they slowly descended.

“It stinks in here.”

On the ground, Xiao Can pinched his nose and stepped on a huge blade of grass, frowning and looking around with disgust.

Lu Luan glanced at the pit in front of him. This was the mark left by the monsters fighting here. After checking it for a while, he shook his head and sighed, "It's been too long, there's basically no trace left."

"Brother, why don't we go deeper and take a look."

Small shrine.

"No need. The depths of this bloody swamp are even more dangerous than Tianjue Island. If we go in rashly, we might encounter danger. Let's just take a look at the periphery first." Lu Luan shook his head. He had no intention of going any deeper for the time being.

The Blood Swamp is very large. If one wants to cross it directly, it will take at least two or three days of flying. Now he is still on the outskirts of the Blood Swamp.

"But there are no monsters around?" Xiao Can frowned and looked around.

Lu Luan looked down at the ground beneath his feet and said, "Most of the monsters in the Blood Swamp are underground. The mud inside is basically a thousand feet deep. There won't be many monsters in the weeds on the surface."

"If it's deep underground, it won't be easy for me to find it using the Breath-Seeking Technique, and it won't be convenient to capture it." Xiao Can looked at the ground with disgust. A bubble emerged from the mud and exploded. He quickly hid aside, fearing that the dirt would stick to his body.

"Yes."

There was also a hint of bitterness in Lu Luan's eyes. It was not convenient for him to fight in the underground which was full of such mud. Moreover, the mud had a special smell, and Xiao Can's breath-finding technique did not have much room to be used.

But he naturally had other ways. He opened his hand and took out a spiritual herb from the storage ring.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Can asked, "Brother, do you want to catch a monster?"

"Well, most of the monsters in this bloody swamp are underground. We have to lure them out."

Using spiritual herbs to attract the monsters out from underground is the method used by most people who enter the Blood Swamp.

Xiao Can rolled his eyes and muttered, "You might as well use me instead of it. I can just spread the medicinal energy and attract all the monsters within a radius of four or five hundred miles to you."

Lu Luan's eyes lit up, and he thought, "This little guy is really suitable."

During these days, the broken pill and the immortal substance in the skull had been basically digested and absorbed by Xiao Shen. In addition, he did not continue to allocate the medicinal power to Lu Luan to practice his physical body, so now the spiritual energy in his body is overwhelming.

He kept his whole body plump and white, and crystal clear. It was more than enough to be used as the main ingredient for a second-grade elixir. If it were circulated in the market, it would be snapped up by people.

The little guy's body is now a great temptation to both monsters and humans.

"Then you try it." Lu Luan said with a smile.

"it is good."

Xiao Can immediately agreed, closed his eyes and prepared to move.

"Just leak a little bit, don't let it spread completely, and don't let the monsters below the foundation building strength find out," Lu reminded. If it is not restrained, it will inevitably trigger a tide of small beasts.

"I understand. I'm not stupid."

After saying that, it turned its body and was then wrapped in a green air. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a four-foot-tall ginseng with lush branches and leaves, and its spiritual charm was like a waterfall.

Lu Luan took a few looks at it and thought to himself, "If all the medicinal power of this little guy were to rise to the sky and be noticed by those immortal cultivators outside, they would definitely regard it as a thousand-year-old elixir, attracting countless people and monsters to fight for it."

It seems that it still disdains the surrounding environment. Even after turning into its original form, Xiao Shen is still floating in the air, not wanting to be contaminated by any mud.

"Retreat your true form a little." Lu Luan said. Xiao Shen's current appearance could be seen as extraordinary at a glance. Immortal cultivators have amazing eyesight. If someone flying by in the distance saw him, it would cause trouble.

"Ok."

The ginseng plant shook its leaves gently, and the medicinal aroma was absorbed into the body. The color of the leaves also dimmed, making it look like an ordinary weed.

In fact, this is what many spiritual medicines look like. In an environment like the Blood Swamp, for spiritual medicines, if people want to pick them and monsters want to eat them, they must learn to hide if they want to grow normally, just like weeds. If they leak a trace of spiritual power, they will be noticed.

"let's start."

Lu Luan found a secluded place nearby and sat down.

The roots of the young ginseng turned into legs. After walking a few steps in the air, it saw a relatively clean stone, and coiled up on it, taking root in it, as if it had been growing there forever, just like the surrounding weeds.

Lu Luan didn't worry too much about the safety of Xiao Shen after using him as bait. After all, he had the ability to teleport, so it would take a lot of effort for him to catch him.

Next is to wait quietly.

Of course, he was not idle either. He began to use this time to practice the art of beheading gods.

Time passes slowly, the sun sets and the moon rises, and the bright breeze blows.

At night, the sky is full of stars circling and silver light is gently spreading.

The air in the Blood Swamp was slightly chilly, and a layer of moist water vapor hung on the grass leaves.

"come yet?"

In the dark, Lu Luan suddenly felt a strange fluctuation within the range of his soul, so he slowly opened his eyes.

"Brother, there's something going on."

Xiao Can whispered to him.

At a distance of three hundred feet.

Suddenly, a ripple appeared in the calm little sewage pond, and then a stick-like object was seen standing up in the water. Looking closely, an eye was found on the top of the object.

After looking in the direction of Xiao Can for a while, the eyes retracted into the mud.

Then calm returned.

"Really cautious."

Lu Luan frowned slightly, because he found that the monster had been hiding hundreds of feet underground and did not dare to approach. It only used its tentacle-like eyes to rise to the surface to check the situation.

Because he was hiding so deep, he was not sure of his actions and did not act rashly.

"Let's see how long you can endure this."

Lu Luan thought to himself that he could see in his soul that it was a snake-like monster underground. It was more than twenty feet long and had three eyes. Each eye could stretch out from the ground like a tentacle to check the situation.

After a quarter of an hour, it finally couldn't hold back any longer and started to move closer.

Under the moonlight, the ginseng grass swayed in the wind.

"Wow!"

Suddenly, the calm ground suddenly sank, forming a mud vortex with a radius of ten feet, and a huge suction force came from it.

"I'll dodge!"

Seeing that he was about to be sucked in, Xiao Can immediately turned into a stream of light and ran away. In a moment, a long and thin tongue rolled over from the place just now.

Next, a fiery red light was seen piercing into the ground, and a figure sank into the vortex.

"Fortunately I hid quickly," Xiao Can transformed into a human form and stood in the distance looking around.

The ground heaved for a while and then calmed down.

"I think we have caught it." Xiao Can flew over.

"puff!"

Soon, the ground began to expand, and Lu Luan, protected by Xuan Gang, rushed out carrying a monster covered in white armor.

"It's really hard to catch. I almost let it run away." Lu Luan casually threw the huge creature in his hand to the ground.

The monster's head was pierced by a sharp object, and its spine was broken into several pieces. It didn't have much breath left, and was only twisting its body based on instinct.

"What kind of monster is this?"

Xiao Can asked as he touched the pure scales that were not sticky with mud.

"This is a white jade snake, a kind of monster that is unique to the Blood Swamp. Its meat is delicious. Although its strength is only in the initial stage of foundation building, it is worth more than thirty intermediate spirit stones."

"Not bad, I earned so much in one night." Xiao Can was very satisfied.

But Lu Luan shook his head and said, "It's still too slow."

For him, this speed is far from enough to feed the spiritual fetus in his body.

"Let's go somewhere else."

After putting the monster into the storage ring, he took Xiao Can and left.

To be safe, he planned to move from one place to another.

Now, the two of them seemed like ghosts in the dark night, capturing all kinds of monsters hiding in the mud underground.

"Brother, it may not be long before I am fully transformed."

The two were flying close to the ground. Xiao Can was touching the leaves on his head and suddenly said.

"That's a good thing."

Lu Luan looked at it and smiled. It would be better for this residual trait to fade away as soon as possible, otherwise it would be noticed by others when walking on the street.

"Ah."

Two figures kept shuttling back and forth in the bloody swamp. Using the small ginseng as bait and Lu Luan holding the hook, they caught the monsters easily and smoothly since the swamp was large enough.

……

Ten days later.

Between several misty peaks.

Lu Luan and Xiao Can cooperated as usual.

"Ok?"

Lu Luan was sitting cross-legged and practicing. He seemed to feel something and frowned slightly.

Then put the soul into the Huangting.

I saw a gray shadow flashing on the stone tablet.

It was the licorice plant. Cultivated in the spiritual soil, it had grown to two feet tall. Now it had even broken away from the soil and was running around with its long legs.

Lu Luan's mind moved, and he took it out of the Huangting. The licorice was so frightened by his aura that it dared not move at all. "It seems that its spiritual intelligence has awakened, but I don't know if it can awaken its previous memories."

This spiritual herb was not worth many spiritual stones. What he was curious about was whether or not there was such a magical power as the physical body. He had only practiced a fragment of it but had benefited a lot.

This magical power is very beneficial to the physical body and is very suitable for him to practice.

After taking a few glances, he called Xiao Can over.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

When Xiao Can heard the call, he immediately ran over.

"This little fellow has regained his spiritual wisdom and can no longer stay in the Huangting. You can take him with you."

After licorice sensed the scent of ginseng, its branches and leaves began to stretch towards it, instinctively feeling the intimacy, and at the same time making a "hmmmm" sound.

"okay."

Xiao Shen was more than happy to do so. Whenever Lu Luan had time, he would practice. Even though he was in his original form, it was boring to be a grass all by himself. Now he had a companion.

Lu Luan let go of his hand, and the licorice spread its roots as soon as it landed on the ground, and hid behind Xiao Shen's butt.

"Be good, don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Xiao Shen gently patted its leaves to calm his emotions.

"Ok?"

Lu Luan shook his head slightly, ready to continue practicing, but suddenly looked into the distance.

Xiao Can also looked and noticed something.

"Brother, could it be that a cultivator has been attracted?"

Someone appeared around.

outside.

A figure gently stopped on a branch, looking around excitedly.

This is a young man dressed in green, with a sword on his back. However, he does not have the air of a sage, but instead has a pointed face and monkey cheeks.

The man leaned forward and sniffed around, then said with a smile, "Yes, this is it. Although the spiritual power is very weak, it still can't escape my nose. It should be an old spiritual medicine. I didn't expect to have such an adventure in this place."

After saying this, the man began to search carefully.

"I didn't expect to meet a demon cultivator."

Lu Luan stood in the distance, frowning as he looked at the man who had just appeared. Although there was no trace of aura around him, he could still tell the man's identity. He was a demon cultivator.

"Brother, do you want it?"

Xiao Can made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Lu Luan thought about it, shook his head and said, "Forget it, he's just a demon cultivator in the early stage of foundation building. Don't alarm him for now. Follow him and see if he has any accomplices."

Killing a demon cultivator in the early stage of foundation building will not yield any gain. The value of the demon cultivator will be maximized only when the other accomplices behind him are caught.

He guessed that these might be demon cultivators who came together to hunt down immortal cultivators.

"Brother is really thoughtful. We will catch them all in one fell swoop!"

Xiao Can nodded in admiration.

"Go and tease him first, and don't act too smart." Lu Luan ordered.

"it is good."

Xiao Can flew out immediately.

"Strange, why not?"

After looking around, the man found that he didn't have what he wanted and frowned in confusion.

"what?"

Just as he was scratching his head, he suddenly smelled something.

"found it."

So he flew into the valley with excitement.

"What a great ginseng! It turns out to be growing in such a secret place."

When he reached the bottom of the mountain, he looked up and saw the ginseng growing in the cracks of the cliff above. His eyes almost popped out of his head with surprise.

Without hesitation, he flew over and picked them.

But when he was about to succeed, he suddenly discovered.

The ginseng that was within reach actually grew legs and ran away.

"Huh? It has gained spiritual intelligence. That's right. Ginseng is the most human, so it's normal for it to have spiritual intelligence. This plant is worth at least one hundred intermediate spirit stones. It's so rare. Senior sister just needs a top-quality ginseng to make medicine. I can catch it and give it to her."

The man was startled at first, then he was overjoyed and turned around to chase after him.

Xiao Can's performance is mediocre now, and his vision is not good enough to see the true value.

Although he was very fast, Xiaocan was as nimble as a rabbit and very agile, making it impossible to catch him.

"Bah, I don't believe it."

The man spat and turned his head. A ball of evil spirit appeared around his body, and then he turned into a huge gray rat.
