The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Xiao Han would be afraid of cultivators in the late foundation-building stage, but she was not afraid of the sixth-level demon bird.

Ahem, when I was chased by the black-feathered white-striped bird before, magic weapons were scarce, so it was forgivable.

Xiao Han didn't want to fight to the death with the black-collared bird in front of him, so he started by using ordinary arrows to perform continuous archery.

The demon bird doesn't have any powerful defensive magic weapon. It can ignore one or two arrows and can easily block three or five arrows, but what if there are dozens of arrows continuously?

Sure enough, after a round of arrow rain, the black-collared demon bird found that the prey was difficult to catch and decided to change to another prey. It didn't want to fight to the death.

The black-collared demon bird quickly flew away.

Of course Xiao Han would not chase after him.

Croton hung on Xiao Han's arm, croton ...

Xiao Han suddenly remembered that the two-headed lizard was still in the storage bag, so he could use its meat to feed Croton.

Wandering in this uninhabited desert is not the same as meditating in seclusion.

If Badou hadn't been by her side, talking to her and keeping her company, Xiao Han would have long since been unable to bear this kind of life where she had to fly around like a wandering soul.

While eating the lizard meat that Xiao Han had picked out, Badou asked in confusion, "Master, where did it come from?"

Xiao Han smiled and said, "While you were sleeping soundly."

Croton stopped asking immediately. He didn't care when the food came, as long as he had meat to eat.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Han had been in the desert for almost a month.

The original plan was to return to Crescent City within a month, regardless of whether she found the main medicine or not.

But now, she felt reluctant to leave.

I always feel that if I persist a little longer, I might find it.

And so she wandered in the desert for another month.

In a blink of an eye, she had been searching in the desert for more than two months, but still had not found any trace of the blackthorn fruit.

Croton's food reserves, including the meat of the two-headed lizard, had long been eaten.

Although it won't starve to death if it doesn't eat, it's used to eating. If it doesn't eat for two days, it will start to cry out for meat.

If Xiao Han scolded it, it would be quiet for a while.

Once it saw Xiao Han's face improve, it started whispering, "Eat meat, eat meat!"

Xiao Han didn't really mean to be mean to it, so he decided to find some food for it at the same time.

But in this desert, there are only scorpions and low-level lizards, so where do so many high-level carnivores come from?

It's not like he didn't see any desert wolves, but they were only level one or two. Xiao Han killed a level two desert wolf and gave it to Ba Dou to eat.

But after taking two bites, this guy started looking for excuses not to eat, which made Xiao Han so angry that he wanted to beat him up.

She put the wolf corpse in the storage bag, and as soon as it cried for meat, Xiao Han took out the wolf meat.

Badou, who was used to eating meat rich in spiritual energy, found it difficult to live frugally, but he was unable to capture high-level monsters, and in the end he could only rely on wolf meat to satisfy his craving.

After wandering in the desert for a few more days, Xiao Han discovered an oasis again.

This oasis is much larger than any of the water sources she had discovered before. From a high altitude, the oasis looks like a large shoe sole.

There are not only tall and lush trees here, but also many low plants.

Naturally, there are many animals living here.

Xiao Han controlled the flying sword, slowly observing and searching from high in the sky.

Then she found the red thorn bush she had been looking for.

At the outer edge, among a group of extremely lush cacti, there is a shrub with dark red branches sparsely dotted with some small golden flowers.

Just as she was about to take a closer look, she saw a jerboa running over and biting off a small yellow flower with its mouth.

Xiao Han was immediately furious. I finally found the culprit, and you are trying to snatch food from a tiger’s mouth.

She flicked her finger, and a gust of spiritual energy shot down, instantly killing the little jerboa, which was only at the first level.

Croton, which had not eaten meat for several days, immediately swooped down and tried to grab the little jerboa.

Xiao Han shouted loudly: "Badou, don't hurt those flowers."

Croton was stunned for a moment, not daring to get any closer, and hovered above.

Xiao Han landed on his flying sword, first rolled up the little jerboa with a spiritual thread and threw it to Badou, then he looked at the red thorn carefully.

This shrub is exactly the same as the red thorn that grows blackthorn fruits that she had heard about. Could this be the place where the spiritual spring is?

But looking at this lush desert oasis, this might really be the place where the spiritual springs are.

However, the blackthorn fruit has just bloomed, and it is unknown when it will mature.

Forget it, no matter when it matures, she must stay here and wait for it to mature.

To be on the safe side, Xiao Han asked Badou to stay here to prevent any more jerboas from eating the flowers, while she decided to go around and check.

After all, she would be living here for a while, so she had to find out who the neighbors were.

Xiao Han flew over the oasis on his flying sword and although he saw traces of many large and small monsters, he did not sense the breath of high-level monsters, so he felt much more relieved.

The oasis is shaped like a shoe sole, with a clear river in the middle that is half a foot deep and more than ten feet wide.

The location of the spiritual spring should be at the heel of the sole. As the water source gradually becomes insufficient and the terrain becomes higher, the toe part of the shoe returns to a desert again.

Although there were many plants in the oasis, she did not find a second bush of red thorns.

Returning to Red Thorn, Xiao Han began to set up a defensive formation not far from the cactus.

With this formation, she would have the time and opportunity to activate the talisman when she encountered Yin Shu or other high-level monsters.

As for why he didn't surround the cacti and red thorns together in the formation, Xiao Han also had his own considerations.

She was afraid that the formation would hinder the growth of the red thorns in some way that she was unaware of, and thought it would be better to let it grow naturally.

However, after Croton tasted the spring water and found it really contained good spiritual energy, Xiao Han decided to get some water to water it every day.

If Xiao Han wants to live here for a long time, he naturally has to arrange his own habitat.

She cut down some suitable branches and built a simple awning so that she and Badou could have a place to stay under the hot midday sun.

Of course, Xiao Han originally thought that she could go directly to the shade in the oasis to rest, but she wanted to protect the red thorn flowers nearby and did not dare to go too far away.

There weren't many flowers to begin with, and if the jerboas ate a few more, she would be heartbroken.

At this moment, Xiao Han didn't care about the hardship as long as the blackthorn fruit could be produced successfully.

But her living here made it difficult for the monsters that wanted to come and drink water, and they were inevitably frightened.
