However, be wary of monster swarms. If the number exceeds a hundred, it will also pose a threat to the foundation building period.

The two of them just need to avoid it in time and not be surrounded by the monsters.

At this time, the territory of the second-level monster has not yet been reached.

The reason for slowing down.

The first is to identify the location and avoid some risks.

The second is to look for precious medicinal herbs and spiritual ores.

The "Huanxincao" auxiliary medicine that Lu Changan received was picked by Zhang Tieshan from the Black Mist Mountains.

If you are very lucky, it is not impossible to find the "Xuanling Fruit" deep in the Black Mist Mountains.

…

A few days later.

Whoosh!

The ground rock rat, as strong as a leopard, flew over from the ravine not far away.

There was a bloody flower in his mouth.

"Second-level spirit flower, blood ink flower."

Lu Changan took the flower branch and was slightly surprised.

Blood ink flower is the main ingredient of several second-level elixirs, and is quite beneficial to blood path techniques.

It can also be modulated into the spiritual ink of the talisman to improve the quality of the second-level spiritual ink!

"Fellow Daoist Lu, this blood-ink flower is at least four hundred years old. This spirit rat has a really keen sense of smell."

Zhao Siyao was amazed and praised.

In the past few days, since Lu Changan released the rock rats to explore, he has gained something every once in a while.

Most of them are first-level spiritual objects from the previous year.

The 400-year-old second-order blood-ink flower, such a precious spiritual object, appears for the first time.

"Mainly because of good luck! It's also because we entered the second-level monster area and have more abundant resources."

Lu Changan looks humble on the surface, but has already made a judgment in his heart.

Ordinary rat monsters have a sensitive sense of smell.

After the bloodline mutation is improved, the ground rock rat's senses become more sensitive.

In the Black Mist Mountains, human monks have limited spiritual consciousness and senses, but the Earth Rock Rat is at home like a duck in water.

…

Half a month later.

A frightening beast roar resounded throughout the mountains.

A three-foot-tall second-level bear demon with numerous scars on its body was being attacked by two monks, a man and a woman.

The main combatant is the female cultivator in the white dress, who controls an iron umbrella magic weapon.

The iron umbrella magical weapon sometimes turns into a sword and spear, sometimes turns into an umbrella shield, and sometimes emits several steel needles.

Surrounding the second-level bear demon, the land is sunken and dotted with thorns and earth walls.

There are also many deep caves.

It is impossible to predict which hole a vicious rat will suddenly emerge from.

The bear demon kept roaring, leaving dozens of bloody claw marks on its back.

Far away, a man in white clothes holds a bone bow and arrow, with full mana, and shoots a cold arrow from time to time.

to be exact.

The man in white used a tall and heavily armored puppet as a cover to prevent the bear demon from throwing rocks from a distance.

In the sky behind it, there is also a bird puppet hovering, responsible for taking care of it.

"Boom" sound.

The huge second-level bear demon fell in the mound, with a black-smoking white bone arrow stuck in its ribs and buttocks.

"Fortunately, I have the help of fellow Daoist Lu. If I were alone and exhausted my mana, I would not be able to kill this bear demon."

Zhao Siyao's eyes were bright and she said happily.

"I'll just start with the attack, mainly relying on fellow Daoist Zhao to suppress them head-on."
