Immortal Dao Fruits, Cards to Help Me

Chapter 48: Despicable is the player's passport~
The bundles of firewood, under the control of the gambling addict Ma Si'er, the cat demon Mimi, and the rat fairy Dou Zhongde, were transported to the mountainside.

It should be about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. That should be enough for this part.

Chen Xiuxian and Lao Niu each carried two large jars of "evil-repelling holy water" and carefully carried them up the mountain.

Meanwhile, the rat spirit Dou Zhongde was secretly observing the mountain demon.

The cat demon Mimi was practically bristling with rage, muttering repeatedly, "So sinister! So sinister!"

He felt that his defeat was not unjust, and even said that it was fortunate that he had taken the initiative and was not ambushed by Chen Xiuxian, otherwise... otherwise he wouldn't have gotten beaten up for nothing?!
Well... Garlic Bird, Garlic Bird, now they include food and lodging too, right?
After waiting for about half an hour, it started snowing again.

The harsh cold of Liaodong is no exaggeration.

Dou Zhongde also sent back a message: "It seems there's some movement!"

The mountain spirit, who had been fast asleep, suddenly began to become restless.

First, I tossed and turned in my sleep, and eventually even woke up!

It felt that its stomach was very uncomfortable.
Heartburn?
Seeing that the mountain spirit had begun to stir restlessly in the cave, Chen Xiuxian knew that the time was ripe.

"Brothers, let's go!" With a flick of his sleeve, a "straw rope" flew out and transformed into a straw dragon as thick as a water vat in mid-air.

The mountain spirit was still suffering from a stomachache in the cave when he was suddenly attacked by bandits... no, he was beaten up.

It acted purely on instinct and immediately began fighting with the grass dragon.

Normally, Caolong would definitely be no match for him, and would probably only last three to five minutes.

But things are different now. Although the mountain spirit has a dulled sense of pain, it still feels a stabbing pain in its abdomen. In this situation, its skill level is reduced to only 60% of its original potential!
At this moment, Chen Xiuxian drew his Long Rainbow Sword, Lao Niu held his Whirlwind Axe, Dou Zhongde stood far away, twirling his rat whiskers, the cat demon Mimi had already activated her Spinosaurus form, Toad Jinzi was shivering from the cold despite wearing a cotton-padded coat, and the gambling addict Ma Si'er had already secretly rolled the dice for the Mountain Ghost...

As the saying goes, illness enters through the mouth!
Everyone should chew their food slowly and carefully, otherwise they might end up with half a worm in their mouth.

Like this mountain spirit, it eats meat like Pigsy munching on ginseng fruit, not even knowing what it tastes like before it goes into its stomach.

The pig, the size of a human head, had only an outer layer of meat; the inside was filled with "evil-repelling holy water" that Chen Xiuxian had personally prepared after finding it on the forum.

Some players on the forum are too eccentric; Chen Xiuxian didn't even dare to add the "Women's Heavenly Sunflower Water" option.

But he added something else—a knife!
Chen Xiuxian sought out Ma Yuan, a blacksmith from Jing County, to forge more than a dozen highly flexible, double-pointed blades!
This thing is bent into a ring and frozen in "holy water for warding off evil," then wrapped in a layer of frozen pork—this is much better than using duck meat to impersonate beef or mutton!
Once you eat this, it will be digested and thawed in no time. Then the "holy water of warding off evil" will dissolve, and even a sharp blade that is half a meter long and has two points will bounce off when it is straight!
It can be described as a dual attack of physical and magical power!
The mountain spirit hasn't died from its intestines rotting yet because it is, after all, a monster, not just a simple creature.

However, during the fight with the grass dragon, his belly was pierced by a sharp blade due to the intense movement!

Chen Xiuxian couldn't help but burst into laughter: My plan has succeeded!

Controlling a grass dragon in battle is quite taxing.

After a few minutes of fighting, Chen Xiuxian saw that the mountain demon had seven or eight holes in its belly, and black blood mixed with "evil-repelling holy water" was flowing out with a sizzling sound, which quickly froze into blackish-purple ice.

He then put away the grass dragon, as his true energy was almost exhausted.

"Brothers, surround and kill it!"

"Meow~" The newly submissive Mimi was eager to show off and was the first to rush forward.

However, he was still quite clever. He pretended to breathe out in shock, but in fact, he had already learned to be cunning from Chen Xiuxian—he suddenly stopped, and the mountain ghost slammed its claw into the ground with a loud "boom," making the ground shake!
That's a clever trick, a feint to bait out their skills!

Besides being incredibly strong and able to leap like the wind, this mountain spirit was also as hard as iron.

Chen Xiuxian's sword energy only managed to cut a gash a few centimeters deep.

Old Niu swung his axe, but the mountain spirit slapped him, sending him and his axe flying. Dou Zhongde, however, was quick-witted; he threw his scorpion-tail hook from afar, which landed on the mountain spirit's heel!

However, this mountain spirit has extremely high resistance to poison. After all, it is a monster born from the evil aura, with many corpses piled up in the mountain valley.

This is why Chen Xiuxian used both physical and magical attacks to attack the internal bloom—it basically doesn't eat poison, it treats it like candy!
This mountain spirit also has a trick to spew black smoke. The black smoke is so thick that even the howling north wind can't blow it away, and it stinks terribly!

Mimi took a sniff and almost foamed at the mouth on the spot. She ran more than a mile away and vomited violently!
This mountain spirit was formed from piled-up corpses. When Chen Xiuxian swung his green snake fangs and scorpion tail hook at him, it was as if a thorn had been stuck in his body, without any sign of poisoning!
Tell me how toxic it is!

Its breath of corpse stench carried for miles, and Chen Xiuxian and the others nearby almost vomited on the spot, not to mention Mimi, who was hit in the face by its vomit!
In a fit of rage, its underlying code activated, and it ran wildly for over a mile, its eyes rolling back and foaming at the mouth.
When Chen Xiuxian found him, he was still vomiting!

This poor child, why does he always have to suffer such bad luck?

We need to get him a gas mask sometime! A Batman-style one, please!

Hakimi was really unlucky, but the toad's water spraying effect was very effective on the mountain spirit—in the freezing cold, a mouthful of water sprayed on the mountain spirit would freeze into ice crystals in seconds!
Combined with the Ruyi scepter in Chen Xiuxian's hand, the mountain spirit was so frozen that it could barely walk. It would take a few steps if it didn't feel like it.
The group took turns slashing at the mountain spirit like fools, making it attack everywhere. Before long, its belly was slashed open by a bunch of blades... a gruesome sight!
In the end, Chen Xiuxian was a bit careless, thinking that the mountain spirit was already lying dormant and unable to resist. As a result, he made the mistake of relying on past experience and mistook the mountain spirit for a huge creature.

This thing was, after all, a malevolent monster born of evil energy. It didn't have the vital points that ordinary creatures have. Even with its last breath, it still managed to give Chen Xiuxian a claw strike.

A vicious claw strike, and a gust of wind blew through it!

Although it was just a touch on the edge of Chen Xiuxian's shoulder, it still made him fly!

Mountain Spirit: If you show off, I'll make you fly!
Although Chen Xiuxian immediately chopped off his head with a sword, he still managed to knock one of Chen Xiuxian's arms off, leaving it swollen like a large radish.
Several large carts of firewood were piled up and placed halfway up the mountain, right in front of the cave. The head, as big as a pot lid, along with the headless corpse, was cremated by the mountain spirit!
Despite the heavy snowfall, the flames, fueled by Chen Xiuxian's fire control technique, continued to burn fiercely. The flames crackled and popped, their two-meter-high peaks evaporating the falling snowflakes.

The mountain spirit's corpse didn't catch fire at first. It only started to ignite after a jar of strong liquor was smashed down on it. Once it started burning, it began to emit black smoke, which shot straight into the sky like smoke from a wolf's beacon!
After burning for about half an hour, Chen Xiuxian received a system notification:

"Ding~ You have killed a level 25 elite unit, the Corpse Mountain Demon, and gained 923 experience points."

"Ding~ You have killed the Mountain Ghost of Ironstone Mountain and completed the quest [Eliminate the Mountain Ghost (Blue)]. Completion: B. You have gained 2680 experience points, 80 Liaodong reputation points, 50 Taiqing Palace reputation points of Nine Peaks Ironclad Mountain, and 100 merit points. You have also gained 1 chance to get a [Random Card (Blue)].

Chen Xiuxian waved his hand and put away the three cards that had appeared on the fire: one blue and two green!
As expected of an elite monster, the Mountain Spirit has a pretty high drop rate!

"Retreat!" Chen Xiuxian waved his hand, and everyone began to retreat.

……

【Secrets of Ebony Sword Forging (Blue)】

Level 3 blueprint card
By gathering the materials according to this sword-forging diagram and injecting 300 points of mana/450 points of true qi daily, it will take 49 days to forge a Tier 3 flying sword, the Ebony Sword.

Materials needed: 81 units of submerged wood, 5 qian of random earth vein evil energy.

The ebony sword has a power of 60 and can be used to attack enemies within 30 steps.

Review: It's the lowest-level flying sword, but it's still a flying sword! Its advantage lies in the easy availability of materials.
Huh? I didn't expect this mountain spirit to drop a sword diagram!
I mentioned before when we were fighting the Shadow Goblins that Shadowwood is still a very good seller among low-level materials.

It's because this sword image appears quite frequently! It's the top choice for many players' flying swords!
It's touted as the first flying sword for novice players.
However, this lowest-level flying sword naturally cannot carry people through the air...

Let alone flying on a sword, even the range for killing enemies is only twenty or thirty steps.

But it's still a flying sword, no matter what!

And its power is quite good!
My own Rainbow Sword only has a power of 35, while this wooden sword has a power of 60!

If Chen Xiuxian had an ebony sword in hand today, he could be the main attacker.

Chen Xiuxian looked at his cards. He only had 26 copies of [Shadowwood (Green)] and 4 copies of [Dark Marsh Rift Aura (Green)]... Looks like he'll have to fight the goblins again!
