Immortal Road.

Chapter 444: Camp Ruins, Flower Sea Harvest

If you go west from Huainan and go upstream along the river, you will reach the Luosong Mountains that divide the Song Dynasty vertically.

The pass corresponding to this line is Jiangxia Water Fort, to the north is Dongmen Pass, and further north is the Dirty Drug Canyon.

It is also the goal of Lin Shan’s trip.

He rode the rainbow at high speed all the way, crossed mountains and ridges, broke through countless clouds, and surpassed flocks of birds. He arrived in just a few days.

Blocking his view was a huge silhouette that blocked out the sky and stretched as far as the eye could see.

The deep, dark crevice holds countless dangers, and is one of the few proven traversable paths in the Larch Mountains.

At the entrance of the Dirty Poison Canyon, there is an abandoned campsite, which was left behind by the Black Lotus Sect. Now it has become a famous scenic spot for future generations to visit!
Some of the original appearance of the camp is preserved, and there are inscriptions written by righteous monks who later passed by and conquered the place, telling the cause, process and result of the small battle. There are even some sculptures of the fallen monks standing here.

What surprised Lin Shan the most was that he actually discovered here the martyrs' tombs of Qi Zhong, a true disciple of Qianyun Pavilion, and Princess Guo, a steward of Cangxuan Sect. Both of them were erected by their own sects who later counterattacked here.

The sculptures of the Demon Cult's guardian Yan Yuanchun, the Demon Cult's envoy Lin Shan, the Demon Cult's envoy Luan Chun and others are also in this camp, but they are all portrayed with hideous and ferocious faces.

Lin Shan looked at his own statue in silence. When he himself stood in front of it, no one would connect the two together.

The key point is that the entire camp is empty. Not many people come here to pay their respects. It is as deserted as a grave.

Yes, independent cultivators usually either roam the mountains or work hard in various places where cultivators gather. How could they have the leisure time to reminisce about this?

Only the disciples of the orthodox sects who go down the mountain to experience the secular world and visit famous mountains and rivers can pass by here and learn about this little-known past.

Lin Shan looked at all the traces left by the righteous path in the camp, smiled, shook his head, and did not make any changes. Everything had become a legend, so he just buried it in his memory.

Seeing that it was still early, he got up without any further delay and walked into the canyon.

It's still as difficult to get here as always.

Because there are dangerous poisonous fog and strong winds in the sky, it is relatively easier to advance on the ground. All kinds of poisonous insects and ferocious beasts appear along the way, and these things are the most abundant in the deep mountains and forests.

Since Lin Shan was alone and had no burden around him, he moved very quickly. He made his way through the deep territory as if he was in an empty space.

Poisonous snakes, poisonous mosquitoes, poisonous ants, poisonous dart frogs, and even poisonous spiders that cover the entire forest with webs, all of them were encountered again!
He was too lazy to get entangled, so he would rush towards those he could shake off with his speed, and if he couldn't shake off, he would use the Netherworld Ghost Fire to clear a large area and burn them.

After about two hours, they walked out of the jungle and came to the swamp and poison spring, crossing them again effortlessly.

Next placed in front is a colorful sea of ​​flowers.

Seeing this, Lin Shan's eyes suddenly lit up!

He remembered it very clearly. Although their demon sect team suffered a lot here, he also obtained a lot of plant seeds, which he refined into many "bean soldiers". During the foundation-building period, he barely played with the legion flow, which was quite useful.

Now that I'm in the Jindan stage, the 'scattering beans to turn them into soldiers' technique has been shelved and is of no use. The seeds that I've accumulated before have become useless and have basically no effect on people of the same level.

It would be of some use only if you get some seeds of plant spirits in the Jindan stage.

Generally speaking, this type of seeds requires "live seeds" rather than "dead seeds". Only "live seeds" can be refined into bean soldiers and turned into plant spirit puppets to fight for themselves.

Most of the seeds on the market are dead, and it is not cost-effective to buy them to make bean soldiers. What's more, the "living seeds" of Jindan stage plants are even rarer. Some Jindan real people have these things, and most of them will think about how to cultivate them. At worst, they can use the herbal essence in them to find someone to make medicine for them.

In addition, it takes Jindan-stage plant spirits ten thousand years to transform. Not only are they rare and hard to find, their combat power is also outrageous. Few cultivators of the same level can defeat them.

However, in the Poison Canyon, Lin Shan clearly remembered that there was a kind of corn monster, which was a real thousand-year-old monster!
If you could break off a corn cob, with all the corn kernels on it, wouldn't you be rich?
Although it seems unlikely, and it is a bit outrageous that a corn cob can give birth to countless Jindan stage bean soldiers, but one for one is always possible.

The key is that this corn monster is a mutant of edible crop plants. It has single means and poses less threat. It is much easier to deal with than tree monsters, vine monsters, and flowers and plants.

Now that I'm here, it's not too much to just pick one up, right?
He walked towards the sea of ​​flowers with bad intentions.

The monsters in the sea of ​​flowers have strong senses and realize that he is not someone to be trifled with, so they fold their petals and block their eyes to show that they can't see or hear, so don't come over.

The sunflowers no longer faced the sun. Instead, they turned their fruit disks towards the shade and turned their backs to him.

All the pea shooters shut up, their gun barrels were shriveled up and couldn't spit out a single bean sprout.

Flowers that are not in season, such as chrysanthemums, peonies, and crabapples, have all turned into buds, as if they have not grown up yet.

Lin Shan: "."

Are you trying to cover up your crimes?

Do you really think I'm blind and didn't see it before?

There is no way. The intelligence of plant spirits is limited and they cannot be treated as humans.

Lin Shan ignored their poor disguise, walked over with a sinister smile, and started to destroy them on the spot!
With his left hand, he pulled up a chrysanthemum monster. The monster had more than a dozen legs at the root flapping around, looking so helpless.

The monster pulled up a sunflower with his right hand, and his face twitched and the sunflower seeds scattered all over the ground. It was unclear whether he was crying or laughing.

Lin Shan recited a poem as he pulled the weeds back:
"I advise you not to cherish your golden clothes, but to cherish your youth."

“Flowers are ready to be broken when they bloom, but don’t wait to break branches when there are no flowers left.”

There was a sudden chaos in the sea of ​​flowers!
All the flower fairies turned around angrily. Who the hell wrote this poem?

Which unknown person?

Are you just trying to make things difficult for us?

They were filled with hatred and concentrated their firepower on this hateful human being, wanting to drown him here with just a mouthful of spit.

Suddenly, the sky was filled with all kinds of flower seeds and fruits flying everywhere, falling towards us in a disorderly manner.

Lin Shan smiled happily, this was exactly what he wanted!

He simply took out a magical teacup, and using his magical power it expanded into a giant bowl, which took away all the seeds, accepting none.

"Hahahahaha! Little flower demon, come into the bowl quickly!"

It is worth mentioning that this magic weapon was originally obtained from Qi Zhong, a true disciple of Qianyun Pavilion. After so many years, he has obtained so many trophies, and in comparison, the magic weapon refined by Qianyun Pavilion is of the best quality.

It took a quarter of an hour to collect this huge bowl above his head, which collected a huge amount of seeds, two-thirds of which were melon seeds!
Who said the sunflower has the biggest basin?

Lin Shan estimated that he would never be able to finish eating sunflower seeds in his lifetime, and he could be considered to have achieved the "freedom of eating sunflower seeds". The grass and tree monsters in the flower sea in the surrounding area were also wilting. The seeds were limited, and it was impossible for them to be sent to him forever.

The flower fairies in other areas of the flower sea in the distance were all craning their necks to watch the fight. When they saw Lin Shan looking at them with an unsatisfied look, they quickly lowered their heads and fled, silently chanting "Can't see me, can't see me".

But Lin Shan didn't care about that. He didn't know what contentment meant.

After all, he has two storage magic weapons on him!

A storage bracelet left by Master Gui and a storage ring left by Taoist Qingji, both have very large spaces!

Since I'm here today, I might as well harvest them all. When I return to Lu, I can add another track and enter the flower and bird market!

His eyes showed the excitement of a money-grubber as he looked at the huge sea of ​​flowers, which seemed to be a sea of ​​​​rumbling spiritual stones!

"Hahaha, I'm so excited!"

He walked along, holding his big bowl and began to harvest along the way. Those who voluntarily handed in grain would not be killed, those who resisted would be treated preferentially, and those who dared to escape would be uprooted to serve as a warning to others.

The sea of ​​flowers in the entire valley is finally boiling!

All the monsters jumped up and ran away, treating him as if he were a poisonous insect or a ferocious beast!
This guy is simply inhuman. He obviously wants to catch us all in one fell swoop. Is there anyone like you who would exterminate his descendants?

It was hard for him not to attract the attention of the old antiques in the Flower Valley with such a commotion.

In an instant, the aura of the East and the West suddenly awakened, and two cold spiritual senses locked onto him.

"Ten thousand year old monster!"

Lin Shan was shocked and thought to himself, here it comes!

He poured the flower seeds in the bowl into his storage magic weapon again, turned sideways and looked to both sides. Corn cobs three or four feet high were rising slowly.

These two thousand-year-old monsters had been sleeping for a long time. They were suddenly awakened and found that their younger brothers were all crying for their parents, and the boundaries they had drawn for them were in chaos.

Originally, the sea of ​​flowers was full of colorful flowers, overlapping with each other, clearly separated by rivers and streams, and spread out in an orderly manner. It looked magnificent and pleasing to the eye on normal days, but after Lin Shan did this, everything was messed up!
You know, this is the back garden that the demon king in Luosong Mountains raised in his early years!

Real back garden!

Although it may not come for hundreds of years, I am afraid that one day it will suddenly remember to take a look, and when it sees this scene, it will have to cut them all off, right?
Therefore, on weekdays, this sea of ​​flowers is kept tidy and tidy, and always maintains its beauty, just in case of emergency.

Now, such a big mistake happened while I was dozing off. Fortunately, my boss didn’t remember it for a while. If he had really happened to remember it, it would have been a disaster.

But it is never too late to mend the situation.

There is still time to kill the intruder and urge these little flower fairies to redivide the area.

Lin Shan had never thought of the underlying situation. He thought this was just a simple gathering place for plant spirits, and they were having a great time collecting seeds.

Noticing that a thousand-year-old monster had awakened, he simply stopped paying attention to the younger ones and focused his attention on the older ones, trying to figure out if he could take it on.

The two corn spirits moved one after the other, locked onto each other's energy, and then launched the corn cobs into the sky. Accompanied by the surging air waves all around, they soared into the sky and disappeared in a flash.

Lin Shan looked up in surprise and gazed at the clouds in the sky.

This area is one of the few places in the Polluted Canyon where the sun shines in. Otherwise, it would not be able to shine and nourish so many flowers and plants. Without the poisonous fog and strong winds, the corn cobs would simply rise into the sky and disappear. Could it be that they want to fly out of the atmosphere?
At the same time, he also realized that something was wrong.

How could there be so many organized flower fields of various types in a place like the Grand Canal? It feels like there are traces of human intervention, and these two corn spirits seem like guardians.

Before he could think more, another small black dot appeared above his head, followed by another one behind it, which was falling towards him rapidly through the acceleration of gravity in free fall!

Lin Shan felt the speed contained in it and straightened his back suddenly. He really couldn't take this attack!
Without hesitation, he turned into a rainbow and shot away.

The two corn cobs had a qi lock and a built-in pursuit function. They chased after us diagonally downward, leaving behind a long exhaust gas that was as powerful as a missile.

He flew left and right, and when the space was compressed to the extreme and he could no longer dodge, he could only use the wind escape talisman to escape.

The two corn cobs were close to the ground and had no room to turn around, so they smashed into the center of the sea of ​​flowers with great impact speed.

"Pfft~~~"

"Pfft~~~"

There was no expected explosion. Instead, there were two sounds of drilling into the ground with long tails, one buzzing after the other. They had just risen up to the sky and now disappeared underground.

It turned out to be an armor-piercing bullet?

Lin Shan was still in shock as he discovered that the water in the Jindan stage was very deep.

Even though my overall strength is pretty good, many opponents who are not as good as me can also launch attacks that are difficult to resist. Many times, if I didn't have the Wind Escape Talisman, I would have been seriously injured.

Sometimes strength and cultivation alone are nothing. In many situations, extreme attacks always come unexpectedly and are unavoidable.

If you are not careful, you will be seriously injured, and it is not impossible that you will be defeated by the weak.

However, after this attack, the two corn spirits were obviously much weaker. They were still squirming in the leaf nest below, trying hard to push out a new corn cob.

"besides?"

Lin Shan suppressed his eager urge to act and wanted to see how these two would deal with him next.

However, when the other party saw that the previous powerful attack failed to do anything to him and instead smashed a big hole in his own sea of ​​flowers, they felt sympathetic and hesitant, fearing that the Demon King would hold them accountable later.

He was a little afraid to use the two "little corns" that had just been pushed out, so he just locked onto Lin Shan again, cowering in a dilemma.

Lin Shan's heart moved slightly, and just as he was about to walk towards one of them, he suddenly felt that the other party's consciousness seemed to be entangled in communication, and then it seemed that something was wriggling underground and was about to break out of the ground.

At the same time, several more powerful spiritual senses locked onto him before they even emerged!
"!!!"

Lin Shan felt pain all over, as if he was pricked by needles. He knew that this was because the thousand-year-old monsters had lived for a long time, so their spiritual consciousness had been honed to be extremely powerful.

There are not only two corn spirits in this sea of ​​flowers, but there are also many more thousand-year-old spirits sleeping underground. If I don't act quickly, I may not only get nothing, but also be chased around!
Without any hesitation, when he realized the danger was approaching, he decisively gave up the idea of ​​teasing and hunting down the two corn spirits.

Instead, he jumped down and into the invisible deep pit in the middle of the sea of ​​flowers to look for the two corn cobs.
