Chapter 56: Capturing the Haoyang Bird (seeking monthly recommended votes)
In less than half an hour, they arrived at a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides and with lush vegetation.
According to the map given by Chu Xing, this is the so-called Nine Leaf Valley.
Zhou Ling was cautious along the way, but did not encounter any monsters.
And we also found three first-level middle-grade elixirs.
The harvest is gratifying!
In addition, Zhou Ling also made an unexpected discovery. Shi Yanshu seemed to be particularly keen on elixirs.
With the help of [Searching Mountains for Treasure Hunting], I now have a rough perception range of about ten feet.
And it is far more than ten feet.
It also made him more relaxed.
While chatting on the road, Zhou Ling also learned that He Lingyun and the others were descendants of the He family in Lingxia Fairy City and lived in the east city.
Both brother and sister are practicing in Dongcheng Taoist Temple.
He Zijian majors in swordsmanship, while He Lingyun is a beast master.
The brother and sister entered the inner mountain mainly to catch Haoyang birds.
The purpose of purchasing Jinyang Ginseng from Zhou Ling was to lure the Haoyang Bird.
This kind of golden ginseng is the Haoyang bird's favorite food.
Although they are brother and sister, they have almost nothing in common in terms of personality or appearance.
He Zijian is calm and doesn't talk much, while He Lingyun is smart and talks more.
In terms of appearance, He Zijian is handsome and resolute.
He Lingyun is delicate yet smart.
On the way, He Lingyun gave Zhou Ling two more Beast Yuan Pills.
When Zhou Ling came to Jiuye Valley, he was naturally embarrassed to collect spirit stones from them again.
"Brother, right here, this ancient tree has the residual aura of the Haoyang Bird!"
On an open-air rock, He Lingyun sniffed his nose and pointed to a tree in front of him. The ten-foot-tall ancient tree said to He Zijian.
Zhou Ling was also quite surprised that He Lingyun was so attentive.
As soon as he entered the valley, He Lingyun judged from the faint evil spirit remaining in the air that there was indeed a Haoyang bird in the valley.
The three of them became extra careful in their actions.
I found this place again, which is the place where Haoyang Bird often hangs out.
Prepare to set up a magic circle here to capture the Haoyang Bird.
In addition to being a sword cultivator, He Zijian is also a first-level high-grade formation mage.
This talent and strength also made Zhou Ling envious.
Of course, the children of aristocratic families have inheritance and resources, and this is incomparable!
Due to the existence of Haoyang Bird in the valley, Zhou Ling was not in a hurry to find the Ning Yuan Grass.
Planning to see if the He brothers and sisters can capture the Haoyang Bird?
Take action yourself.
After all, according to He Lingyun's introduction, the bloodline of this Haoyang Bird is not low-grade, but is a middle-grade Xuan-level bloodline.
Even in its infancy, its strength is no less than that of a late-stage first-order monster.
And the rock rat that I had just conquered through [Monster Coercion] was of the middle-grade yellow-level bloodline.
The growth potential can reach the second level.
Although his bloodline level is not outstanding, his skin and flesh are extremely hard, and his nose is extremely sensitive, allowing him to detect elixirs.
Zhou Ling is already very satisfied with this rock rat.
Basic knowledge learned from the Taoist Academy, he also knew that the bloodline of monster beasts is divided into four levels: Huang, Xuan, Earth, and Heaven.
With different blood levels, the potential of monsters is different.
Like Haoyang Bird, who has a mid-level Xuan-level bloodline, his bloodline has huge potential, enough to become a fourth-level great demon.
However, Zhou Ling is not a beast master, and he doesn't have much interest in this aspect.
Conquering the Rock Rat was just a matter of chance.
After returning home, there will be an extra mouth in the house, and animal meat will still be the staple food, which is not a small expense.
Zhou Ling felt a little troubled.
If it weren’t for looking at the Stone Rock Rat, it would still be useful.
He was also planning to sell it to He Lingyun.
While he was thinking about it.
He Zijian has already laid out the formation flag at the place designated by He Lingyun.
According to He Lingyun's introduction, this is a first-level high-grade spirit binding array.
It can trap late-stage first-order monsters in a short period of time. In addition to the spirit binding array, He Lingyun also prepared several first-level high-grade spirit net runes.
He Lingyun carefully took out the golden ginseng, planted it in a soft soil, and poured a drop of spiritual liquid on it.
This spiritual liquid is to make the smell of golden ginseng dissipate more easily.
After all the arrangements were completed, the three of them lurked behind the rock.
As for the Shiyan Rat, Zhou Ling didn’t know where it had gone.
But in the sea of consciousness, the spiritual mark is still there, and he is too lazy to pay attention to it.
Then, He Lingyun took out another rune in his hand, read the spell, and activated it directly.
Zhou Ling felt as if there was a ray of light covering the three of them in an instant.
Completely isolate the breath of the three people.
It seems that this is a rune that shields the breath.
The brother and sister also prepared many means to capture the Haoyang Bird.
However, hunting demons is inherently dangerous, not to mention the Haoyang Bird, which possesses late-level first-order strength. No amount of preparation can be too much.
Originally it was nothing to do with Zhou Ling, but at this moment he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
But I soon felt relieved. There was no prompt from [Crisis Response], so I was so nervous!
The three of them were waiting behind the rock.
He Lingyun's eyes swept back and forth between the air and Jinyang Ginseng from time to time.
He Zijian looked calm.
The fog in the valley gradually dissipated. It was already past noon, and there was no trace of the monster yet.
"After another stick of incense, the Haoyang Bird has not appeared yet, so I went to look for the Ning Yuan Grass!"
Zhou Ling couldn't sit still.
It is not easy to find the Ning Yuan Grass within the Nine Leaf Valley, which is several miles away.
And it would take more than an hour to get back to the camp.
I don’t have much time to search.
Of course, I can’t find it today. I’ll just come back tomorrow.
On the other hand, the He family brothers and sisters waited patiently.
He Zijian’s expression remained unchanged.
He Lingyun looked expectant, but there was also a hint of anxiety in his expression.
Fortunately, the waiting time is not long this time.
Soon, a loud and sharp cry came from the air.
The sound is penetrating and shocking.
“Coming!”
He Zijian shouted softly.
Zhou Ling looked up and suddenly felt a dazzling red light shining.
A bird with a wingspan of nearly more than ten feet and dazzling red feathers was flying over.
It looks like a cluster of burning flames, mysterious and unpredictable.
[There is a late-level Haoyang bird ahead, crisis response +1]
As the Haoyang Bird continued to approach, approaching ten feet, [Crisis Response] emerged.
Zhou Ling looked nervous.
If he were alone, he would have run away long ago.
Brother and sister He Zijian cheered up.
He Zijian's array disk moved slightly, his expression wary.
He Lingyun held the rune and stared at the Haoyang Bird without blinking.
I saw the Haoyang Bird landing on the rock.
There seemed to be flames burning in his eyes.
Staring at the golden ginseng plant, he did not approach it rashly.
Flapping his wings again, he hovered in the air for observation.
After it seemed that there was no danger, he slowly flapped his wings and landed in front of Jinyang Ginseng.
Stretch out the red claws to grab the golden ginseng.
At the same time, He Zijian thought about the magic spell, and a spiritual energy in his hand penetrated into the array.
Suddenly a burst of light shone on the formation disk, and spiritual energy was injected into the surrounding formation flags.
As the array pattern flashed, a huge light net of shining spiritual light shrouded down towards the Haoyang Bird.
