Hybrid Spiritual Plant Cultivation

Chapter 123 Mud Dragon, Gardener, and Grass Burner

Seeing that Chen Jing and Xiao Xunfeng were not getting along, the twin sisters Shasha and Miaomiao immediately tried to smooth things over.

"Why don't we split up and have some people go to Monster Mountain to look for the monsters, and stay in Nameless Village. This way, we can both look for clues and prevent the monsters from attacking the people."

"That makes sense."

The young boy Qingchi immediately spoke out in support.

"In that case, let's split up. Who will go to Demon Mountain with me?"

Xiao Xunfeng asked.

"All four of you go. It's not easy to search the mountain. As for this side, we don't need many people to defend it. Junior Sister Huiyin and I will be in charge."

Chen Jing sent everyone else away.

After simply deciding on the action strategy, the two groups separated immediately.

"Aren't you worried that something might happen to them?"

Ying Huiyin just stood there watching in aloofness, and only started talking to him after everyone else had left.

"We have to trust them. Besides, the demons have just broken through the seal and are not in their best condition. They should not be their opponents."

Chen Jing's answer was completely meaningless.

In his mind, it was good that the four teammates were wiped out. At least Xiao Xunfeng would bear most of the blame...

Then, if you work harder and put in some outstanding performance, your reputation will be even better.

When your teammates are sick, you don't need to be stronger than your opponents, just stronger than your teammates. This is his bottom line.

Of course, I couldn’t say what was in my heart because there were many people watching outside.

"Let's continue looking for clues. First, we need to understand the road conditions. If something happens, we can arrive at the scene as soon as possible. Then, please place some talismans as a warning."

"Ah."

Simply explain.

Chen Jing then began the rest of his search.

The first place he looked for was the birthplace of Xiao Xunfeng and the others, and he helped everyone search all the initial points that had not been searched before.

This search was quite fruitful.

The second volume of the catalog was found at Xiao Xunfeng's residence.

There is also a monster in this atlas.

A human figure, wearing a simple green robe, with a hunched body and pale, wrinkled skin.

In the place of the head is a red flower with eyes, ears, mouth and nose.

Looking closely at its hands and feet, it does not have five fingers, but roots like ginseng.

[Gardener: Good at cultivating spiritual plants, proficient in wood-related magical powers, lives in a medicinal field. ]

"Medicine Field..."

Chen Jing remembered this place.

"One is good at escaping underground and earth-related magic, and the other is good at farming and wood-related magic. It seems that neither of them is very good at fighting."

Then look at other gains.

A total of three pill recipes were found in the rooms of sisters Qingchi and Shashamiaomiao.

[Avoiding miasma pill: Place it in a well and drink the well water to detoxify miasma. ]

【Bone Strengthening Pill: Taking it will give you infinite power, which will last for one hour and three quarters of an hour.】

[Resurrection Pill: replenishes mana and recovers from injuries. ]

"The quality of the pill is not high. Even if you have never seen it before, you can refine it after trying a few times. But I have never heard of this main ingredient."

Chen Jing gave a brief comment.

After rummaging through the boxes and cabinets, he went to look for a reply.

Ying Huiyin was responsible for searching the public areas, wandering around the village.

"How about it?"

"I didn't find anything special. I only found a picture in my own room. It was a spirit, similar to yours."

"Really? Then, the special thing about this nameless village is the six of us."

Chen Jing took the third scroll.

On it is a burning scarecrow.

[Liaocaoren: Good at fire-related magical powers, lives north of the medicine field. 】

"what happened?"

Ying Huiyin looked at Chen Jing who was silent and thoughtful.

"I was wondering, is this Floating World Record used for fighting?"

"When fighting against demons, the main thing is to fight with magic."

"..."

Chen Jing glanced at her, and seeing her taking it for granted, he was a little unsure of his guess. After all, he had never fought a living demon, and from some classics, most of them introduced how to use magic and magic weapons to kill foreign demons, which was consistent with what she said.

"Anyway, let's go find out where the medicinal fields are."

The two of them went together to find the old man in the village.

After some inquiries, every old man said that there had never been a so-called medicinal field. Only crops were grown here, and they had never heard of monsters such as mud dragons and gardeners.

Chen Jing was very surprised. He never expected to get such an answer.

He could only turn to inquire about the three-headed demon on the Demon Mountain.

"The demon on the mountain? Never heard of it."

"Ah? Haven't heard of this?"

"If there really were monsters on the mountain, there wouldn't be any inhabited villages at the foot of the mountain."

The old man said so.

This answer made so much sense that Chen Jing was speechless.

Perhaps the demon was sealed away before the Nameless Village settled here?
All in all, the investigation was largely futile.

The other end.

Xiao Xunfeng and the other three who went up the mountain also went to waste. There was no trace of monsters on the mountain, and they couldn't find where they were now.

"Let's go back. We can only wait and ambush the monster in the Nameless Village."

Xiao Xunfeng said regretfully.

After a day, everyone got together and discussed the matter, but found no useful clues.

"The demons may take advantage of the night to cause trouble, so we need to be vigilant tonight."

After Xiao Xunfeng finished speaking, he looked at Chen Jing, who nodded absentmindedly.

He had no actual experience in fighting monsters, and his theoretical experience was also very poor. The short time he spent getting started was one aspect, and on the other hand, he had put all his energy into alchemy and plant warfare, and had only read some general descriptions of monsters.

"The demons played by the disciples of Yunshang Sect need to eat blood to restore their strength. I understand that this is their means of obtaining the extra power in this map. To obtain blood, they must go down the mountain and kill people. However, if they kill people, they will be stopped by the few of us. How can they get around us?"

Chen Jing considered the issue from the other party's perspective.

If it were me, how would I kill all the people here?

"We already know that force is not an option, so... poison? Wait, miasma-avoiding pills?"

Sneak attack and poisoning are the basic combos of a despicable person.

Chen Jing thought of this and immediately stood up. His spiritual awareness no longer roughly covered the village, but focused on the dark corners.

"Squeak."

"Squeak."

Under the precise detection of the divine sense, the little mice took advantage of the night and quickly moved along the corners of the wall.

A chewed rice bag...

The water tank was pushed open a crack...

The dead rat in the cowshed...

Chen Jing's expression changed slightly, and he went straight to the well in the village.

His eyes were covered with a faint light and he looked down.

Qi gazing!
A faint layer of epidemic miasma permeated the surface of the well water, mixed with various spiritual energies.

Chen Jing flicked his sleeves, and his magic power turned into an invisible hand, which reached in and fished out five or six dead mice.

pat.

He subconsciously covered his mouth and nose, and his heart sank as he looked at the dead rat that was emitting an obvious smell of plague.

"I don't know how long the dead rat had been soaking in there, and how many people have drunk the water."

Chen Jing quietly came to the villagers' houses and looked at them one by one.

Sure enough, there was a faint smell of illness around everyone.

His ability to read qi was just average, and he had not practiced it to a very advanced level.

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth is so complex that if he hadn't been shooting arrows at a target, it would have been difficult for him to detect even the slightest abnormality in the aura of disease and epidemic.

By the time you can see the abnormality at a glance, it is too late.

"In short, kill the rats first!"

Chen Jing immediately used the art of controlling objects to summon stones, killing all the rats that his spiritual sense detected.

For a while, the screams of rats could be heard one after another in the village.

And his movements seemed to startle something.

Suddenly, a large number of rats rushed out from hidden corners, their eyes bloodshot, and began to eat everything frantically.

Many rats even jumped onto the beds and started biting people!
