Chapter 425 Monster
"Okay!" Su Siyi nodded slightly, closed her eyes, and concentrated her mind. In an instant, the Wind Flower, under her control, transformed into a stream of light, vanished before her eyes, and was planted firmly within the jade pendant's space. There, with abundant spiritual energy and fertile soil, the Wind Flower was sure to thrive.
"I wonder if there are any more of these Wind Phantom flowers nearby? If so, let's dig them all up." Nangong Jingming slowly straightened up, his gaze sweeping across the surrounding forest. His eyes were sharp and focused, not missing a single corner that might contain a Wind Phantom flower. The Wind Phantom flower was so precious; if they could find more, it would be a powerful aid, both for their own cultivation and for facing future challenges.
Unfortunately, with great anticipation, the two searched the area for a long time, their eyes meticulously scanning every corner that might harbor a Wind Flower, their hands pushing aside the dense branches and leaves, yet they could find no trace of another Wind Flower. With a touch of regret, they abandoned their search, turned away, and resumed their journey towards their check-in location. Unable to fly or use any other means of transportation, they could only quicken their pace, advancing step by step along the rugged forest path, each step firm and powerful.
"This forest is still too dark. Walking feels too slow." Su Siyi frowned, looking at the pitch-black surroundings with disdain, and a sense of irritation rose in her heart. The dense branches and leaves covered almost all the sunlight, making the forest dim as night. Every step she took seemed to plunge her into endless darkness.
"Then I'll get a few more lights for illumination." Nangong Jingming looked at Su Siyi with concern, then took out several specially made lights from his storage space. These lights emitted a soft yet bright light, instantly illuminating a large area around them. The trees, vines, and rocks that had been hidden in the darkness now appeared clearly before their eyes, making their path slightly smoother.
"Are there no demonic beasts in this Black Forest?" Su Siyi asked, perplexed, as she walked cautiously. They had been walking in the forest for a long time, only luckily discovering two rare plants. Strangely, they hadn't encountered a single demonic beast. In her mind, such a mysterious and dangerous forest should be home to demonic beasts.
"Maybe there aren't many monsters. After all, it's harder for monsters to cultivate successfully than for humans." Nangong Jingming explained patiently while observing his surroundings vigilantly.
The path of demon beast cultivation is fraught with difficulties and dangers. Not only must one face the brutal competition of nature, but one must also overcome one's own animal instincts and break through numerous bottlenecks before gaining powerful strength. Therefore, it's understandable that the number of demon beasts in this forest is relatively small.
"What you said is very likely." Su Siyi nodded thoughtfully, feeling that Nangong Jingming's words were indeed reasonable. Compared to humans, demon beasts were at a disadvantage in terms of obtaining cultivation resources and mastering cultivation methods. To succeed in cultivation, they indeed had to pay more effort and cost more.
"Let's go! Perhaps there are monsters waiting for us ahead!" Nangong Jingming said with a smile, trying to ease Su Siyi's doubts and at the same time add some anticipation to this adventure. His eyes gleamed with excitement; he was always full of fighting spirit for the unknown challenge.
"Then I'm looking forward to it. I've only seen interstellar Zerg, not what a demonic beast looks like!" Su Siyi's face lit up with curiosity, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. She still vividly remembered the appearance of the interstellar Zerg, their diverse and ferocious forms leaving a deep impression on her. Now, about to meet the legendary demonic beast, she felt a mixture of nervousness and excitement.
"I haven't seen it either. Let's look forward to it together." Nangong Jingming couldn't help but laugh at Su Siyi's excitement. The two continued to walk through the forest, chatting and laughing. Their warm words echoed in the gloomy forest, dispelling the fear and anxiety in their hearts.
Suddenly, the sound of a fierce fight broke out ahead, shattering the stillness of the forest. The two men paused, glancing at each other with a flicker of confusion in their eyes. They hadn't imagined that in this seemingly peaceful forest, humans or even monsters would be fighting. However, they quickly reacted, quickly turning off their lights and, under cover of darkness, cautiously making their way towards the sounds of fighting.
With their keen senses and nimble agility, the two men navigated the dense forest and soon discovered the fighting. In the clearing ahead, they saw two monsters of similar size fiercely grappling with each other. Each of their attacks was powerful, snapping and falling trees in the surrounding area.
"Ding! A rare plant, Ice Spirit Grass, has been discovered. A mysterious gift pack is your reward." Just then, the system's crisp notification chime rang through Su Siyi's mind, surprising and delighting her. She hadn't expected the system to deliver another surprise at this tense and exciting moment.
"Brother Nangong, if I'm not mistaken, they both want that Ice Spirit Grass, which is why they're fighting." Su Siyi carefully observed the surroundings and quickly analyzed the reason for the fight between the two monsters. In the center of the clearing, a Ice Spirit Grass, emitting a faint blue light, quietly grew. A chill aura emanated from it, as if announcing its preciousness to all around.
"Well, that should be the case. Siyi, let's not take action yet. Let's just watch here." Nangong Jingming nodded, staring at the two monsters, and quickly thinking of a countermeasure in his mind.
In this situation, acting rashly may cause a joint attack from the two monsters. It is better to observe for a while and wait for the opportunity.
"I understand!" Su Siyi nodded in understanding. She understood Nangong Jingming's intention. He wanted to wait until the two monsters were both injured before they took action. This way, they would be able to take advantage of the situation and reap the benefits.
"System, do you know what these two monsters are?" Su Siyi asked the system silently in her mind. She was full of curiosity about these two strange monsters and wanted to understand their strengths and weaknesses.
"Master, these should be two ordinary monsters, only level two, one is a fox and the other is a wolf." The system quickly gave an answer.
"They look more like wolves and foxes." Su Siyi looked at the two monsters carefully and found that they were indeed somewhat similar to common wolves and foxes, except that they were larger in size and exuded a powerful aura.
