Chapter 1061 One step away
The sun is shining brightly and scorching hot.
In the forbidden area of the barren mountains, the faces of the high mountains are undulating, straight up to the sky, and the tops of the high mountains seem to have soared into the sky, and the top cannot be seen.
On the horizon, Li Xiao cautiously moved forward like a ghost.
"Another dead bone. Judging by its clothes, I don't know how many years ago it was left." Soon, Li Xiao saw a weathered skeleton with ancient clothes. He touched it lightly, and even the clothes and people became fly ash.
Li Xiao has seen many skeletons like this along the way. Their costumes are different, and they all entered the restricted area at different times and died here in the end.
"There is one more..."
Li Xiao was surprised. He came to an area similar to a basin, and he had completely entered the depths of the barren mountain forbidden area. I saw another dry bone, but this dry bone did not have a head, only a skeleton.
After another ten kilometers, Li Xiao found the same skeleton again.
Moreover, the deeper it went, the denser the corpses became. In the end, almost every 300 meters you walked, you could see a dead bone.
These bones have no heads, and they died in unknown ages, because the mysterious power has been preserved to this day, but judging from the appearance, it should not be torn apart by the mysterious power in the barren mountain forbidden area, but rather killed by something.
Li Xiao felt chills down his spine, and asked Hua Yao if he would move on.
"This road must be followed. Only by obtaining the opportunity against the sky can you improve your strength at the fastest speed." Hua Yao said, "Next, be careful, there should be some troubles ahead, remember, if you see something inexplicable Creatures, don't be impulsive, activate the invisibility ability, and the array can protect you."
"Um."
Next, Li Xiao became more and more careful. The night fell, the stars were misty, and everything was silent. He didn't know how far he had traveled, and it seemed that he would never reach the end, but he did not give up, and continued to move forward following the perception of Hua Yao.
"not good!"
Suddenly, Li Xiao was terrified, and stopped suddenly, his eyes looked forward in horror, and in the direction he was looking, there appeared a standing golden bone.
It seemed to be alive. Inside the skull, there was a white divine fire burning again. The whole body was red gold, which was particularly eye-catching in the dark. From a long distance, Li Xiao felt the monstrous hostility emanating from it.
Like a monk, the golden skull sat on the ground under the starry sky, swallowing the essence of the sun and the moon, and a small grass grew out of the cracks in the rocks beside it.
The grass is crystal clear, exuding a green light, and it is actually absorbing the essence of the heaven and earth, which is extraordinarily miraculous.
"Spiritual Grass!"
The moment she saw it, Hua Yao said her name in surprise.
"Spiritual Grass, is it Spiritual Grass?" Hearing the name, Li Xiao suddenly became excited.
This is a king medicine that is second only to the holy medicine, and it is also one of the three main medicines for refining Changyan Pill.
Spirit-growing grass, bone-eating vine, and the core of a powerful spirit beast.
One can imagine how difficult it is to obtain the core of a powerful spiritual beast, needless to say, but the difficulty of the first two is no less than that of the latter.
Li Xiao's eyes were burning, and he really wanted to go up and take it away, but the golden skull was guarding beside him, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
There are creatures in the barren mountain forbidden area, which is scary enough, but what is in front of him is still a skeleton.
It's obviously not worth losing your life for a plant of medicine, but Li Xiao didn't give up just like that, but activated the invisibility ability, and with the help of the power of the array, he quietly touched it.
When he was less than 300 meters away from the golden skull, the divine fire in the skull of the golden skull suddenly jumped twice, a faint spark appeared in the hollow pupils, and it looked suspiciously in his direction.
Just one glance seemed to penetrate everything, pierced Li Xiao's heart and soul, and made him tremble violently.
"It's so powerful." Li Xiao was covered in cold sweat, terrified, and quickly regained his composure. The invisibility was turned on to the extreme, and under the urging of Hua Yao, a curtain of light would fall on the array to watch him.
The Golden Skull looked suspiciously for a long time, then retracted its gaze, and entered into the practice again, while Li Xiao was sweating and dared not move forward.
"We still have time, we can wait and see if there is a chance." Hua Yao knew Li Xiao's intentions, so he didn't urge him.
Li Xiao also sat on the ground, closed his eyes, and quietly waited for the opportunity.
Days rise and fall, day and night alternate.
In the barren mountain forbidden area, it seems to have fallen into eternal silence. Li Xiao has been waiting for nine days for the spiritual grass to grow. During these nine days, he has been paying attention to the movement of the golden skull all the time.
However, he found that the skull seemed to be in a trance, the only time sparks appeared in the eyes, that is, when he looked at him, other than that, no matter day or night, it sat in place, never moved, and had no chance to get close .
However, Li Xiao still didn't give up, the spiritual grass was in front of him, Li Xiao didn't want to give up, even if it took a month, he still had to wait!
In the middle of the night on the tenth day, Li Xiao was cultivating himself with divine consciousness, when he suddenly felt a slight fluctuation in the golden skull.
He opened his eyes immediately, just in time to see two starlights appeared again in the hollow pupils of the golden skull, and this time, it not only opened so simply, it also stood up.
"What is it going to do." Li Xiao's excitement was raised in his throat, and ten days passed in the blink of an eye. He hoped that he would have a chance tonight, otherwise he would have to pass by the Lingshengcao.
Under the night, the golden skull seemed to have not moved for a long time. After it got up, it started to twist its limbs stiffly like a machine, and then, under Li Xiao's astonished eyes, it cut out the ground with a radius of ten meters from the spiritual grass. , carried it and disappeared into the night.
Li Xiao was startled, and hurriedly followed, but Hua Yao suddenly stopped him and said, "Don't go, he's going in the opposite direction to what we're going to, don't make trouble, wait and see if it will come back."
After hesitating for a while, he still stopped. The barren mountains and forbidden areas are unpredictable. Every step he takes may lead to another folding space.
But what reassured him a little was that in about ten minutes, the golden skull returned and filled back the excavated part, and then sat cross-legged on the ground again, and began to swallow the essence, emitting a faint golden light from his whole body.
"It seems that we are really going to miss out on Lingshengcao?" Li Xiao was a little disappointed.
"It's okay, anyway, you can't make Changyan Pill now, maybe you can take it away when you come back when you are stronger."
"By then, I'm afraid he's already gone."
Li Xiao smiled bitterly. As the king medicine, Lingshengcao can neither improve strength nor develop any human treasures. The only effect is life and death.
A skeleton guards such a plant of grass, and with its toes, it knows that it wants to build a body with the help of spiritual grass. The only thing that Li Xiao can't figure out is why he didn't take the herb directly.
"Shua!"
At this moment, Li Xiao's scalp suddenly went numb, and he felt a burst of heart palpitations. He raised his head subconsciously, and found that the golden skull had already stood in front of him at some point.
It's just a step away from him!
