Na Ding quickly ran forward. Behind him, several black figures were chasing after him. Na Ru held a Buddhist Commandment Blade in his hand but there were several bloody holes on his body. Although he was a body cultivator and had used his muscles to seal the blood vessels so that they wouldn't bleed, the wounds were still oozing blood.
Na Ding hadn't met anyone from the Iron Buddha Temple in the past few days. But this morning, he met several people from the Nightwalker Sect. After a battle, he was injured and could only run. However, the people from the Nightwalker Sect were still chasing after him.
Cha Ding knew that he wouldn't be able to escape for much longer. His wounds needed to be treated. Although there wasn't much blood coming out of them, the weapons of the Nightwalker Sect were all poisoned. Cha Ding felt himself becoming weaker and weaker.
Na Ding's eyes flashed with despair. However, he didn't want to give up. He still hoped for a miracle. Therefore, he kept running forward like a machine.
Na Ding used the last of his strength to flip over the mountain in front of him. Then he fell to the ground. At this time, he felt that there were people in front of him. He looked up and was stunned. Several monks from the Iron Buddha Temple were looking at him. He recognized the leader, it was Na Zhen.
Na Zhen and the others had already heard the footsteps. However, they didn't look at who it was. Instead, they just stood there and looked ahead until Na Ding appeared.
Upon seeing Na Ding, Na Zhen couldn't help but be stunned. Then he said, "Junior Brother Na Ding? What happened to you? Quick, take the pills. "Upon hearing this, the others immediately took out pills and gave them to Na Ding.
Na Zhen looked at Na Ding and said, "He's been poisoned by the Nightwalker Sect. Junior Brother Jing Hai, do you have the antidote? Take it out and give it to him. " Zhao Hai nodded, then he took out a bottle of pills and gave it to Na Zhen. At this time, the people from the Nightwalker Sect also arrived at the top of the mountain. They stopped about a hundred meters away from Zhao Hai's group and looked at Zhao Hai's group with surprise. The people from the Nightwalker Sect didn't expect that they would meet so many people from the Iron Buddha Temple here.
Na Zhen also saw the people from the Nightwalker Sect. His expression changed as he coldly snorted and said, "Brother Jing Hai, kill these bastards for me. Hateful, daring to attack the disciples of the Iron Buddha Temple, they're courting death!"
Na Zhen wasn't usually like this, he still paid attention to his image as a Buddhist disciple. This time, he was clearly angered. Zhao Hai wasn't polite, he nodded and then waved his hand, leading the other disciples of the Iron Buddha Temple towards the Nightwalker Sect.
When the Nightwalker Sect disciples saw that they couldn't escape, they didn't wait for death. Instead, they took out their weapons and rushed towards Zhao Hai. Both sides quickly clashed.
The Nightwalker Sect had a total of five disciples, but Zhao Hai's group had more people than them. And with Zhao Hai's group waiting for them to exhaust themselves, how could the Nightwalker Sect's disciples be a match for Zhao Hai's group? In less than an hour, the Nightwalker Sect's disciples were all dealt with.
At this time, Na Ding's injuries were also much better. His main injury was the poison. Now that he had taken the antidote, his injuries were mostly healed.
Zhao Hai and the others searched the bodies of the Nightwalker Sect disciples before returning to Na Zhen's group. Na Ding was now able to stand up, he gave a salute to Zhao Hai's group and said, "Amitabha. Thank you for your help, Senior Brothers. Otherwise, I'm afraid this Poor Monk would've died here today."
Zhao Hai and the others chanted Buddha's name and returned the salute. They didn't say anything. Na Zhen looked at Na Ding and said, "Junior Brother Na Ding, how did you encounter so many Nightwalker Sect disciples? You even fought with them? "
Nua Ding shook his head and said, "I don't know. The place where I appeared wasn't far from here. There's a forest where I picked up some herbs and didn't encounter any strong beasts. I originally wanted to look around the forest, but then I met these people from the Nightwalker Sect. Then we fought and I was injured in several places. Later on, I discovered that their weapons were poisoned, so I wanted to run. But as soon as I got here, the poison flared up. If I didn't meet Senior Brothers, then I'm afraid I would've been in danger."
Na Zhen nodded and said, "Let's go. We'll go back to the forest and see if we can get anything good. Junior Brother Na Ding, are you alright?"
Na Ding shook his head and said, "I'm fine. Senior Brother, let's go." Na Zhen nodded. Then, Na Ding led everyone over the mountain and walked towards the place Na Ding had mentioned.
After crossing the Two Devil Mountain, Na Zhen and the others finally saw the forest that Na Ding mentioned. It was really a large forest, one couldn't see the end of it from the top of the mountain. The forest also grew on the hills, so it was impossible to tell how large it was.
Na Zhen looked at the forest, then he sighed and said, "This forest isn't small. There should be a lot of good things inside. Junior Brother Na Ding, how far did you go in the forest?"
Na Ding said with some embarrassment, "I didn't dare to go too deep. I was afraid that there would be beasts inside. I only moved around five li outside. Even so, I still had a lot of harvest."
Na Zhen nodded and said, "Alright, then let's go down. But don't go too deep into the forest. It's very likely that there will be powerful beasts inside. If we encounter a powerful beast, then we'll be in trouble."
The few of them naturally had no objection and nodded their heads. To be honest, they had encountered a powerful Demon Beast in the sealed land two days ago. Until now, they still had lingering fears. They didn't want to encounter a powerful Demon Beast again.
The group went into the forest and quickly arrived at the edge. The trees on the edge of the forest weren't very tall, there were only some shrubs. The trees inside were very tall. Moreover, the forest was dark, making it impossible to see anything.
Na Zhen looked at the surroundings, then he looked up at the sky and said, "Everyone, take a rest. We'll enter the forest later." Everyone nodded, then they casually found a place to sit down and rest. They ate their own rations and drank their own water.
Because they were going to enter the Secret Realm for a long time, the Iron Buddha Temple had a rule that they had to bring enough rations and water for a month. Inside the Secret Realm, they couldn't just eat random things. This was because eating random things outside was very dangerous. Because of this, everyone had enough rations on them, so they didn't need to worry about food and water.
After eating and resting for a while, Na Zhen stood up and said, "Let's go, we'll enter the forest. Brother Na Ding, you lead the way. We don't need to find anything today, but we need to understand the forest."
Na Ding nodded. The reason why Na Ding was familiar with Na Zhen was because he was also a member of Na Yun's faction. Strictly speaking, he was also under Na Zhen's command. Therefore, he was very familiar with Na Zhen and also very respectful towards him.
The group slowly walked towards the forest. It didn't take long for them to enter the forest. This forest wasn't the same as the shrubs from before. The trees here were very tall. There were other trees growing under the trees as well as grass growing under the trees. There were plants everywhere. This was a world of plants.
After entering the forest, Zhao Hai felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation. He felt very comfortable, it was as if he had returned to his home. After all, with his connection with plants, it wasn't strange for him to feel this way. As long as he entered the forest, he would be able to detect any movement within five li. If someone was moving within ten li, then he would also know.
However, Zhao Hai didn't show it. He still followed Na Ding as he listened to Na Ding's introduction. It must be said that Na Ding's stay in the forest wasn't in vain. Although he had been here for a few days, he had a certain understanding of the forest. There weren't only ordinary plants in the forest, there were also poisonous plants. There were also plants that insects liked to stay in, and some of those insects were poisonous.
Na Ding had suffered a lot in the forest before. There were several times when he was poisoned by poisonous insects and plants. He had no choice but to use his own antidote. If he didn't use up all of his antidotes in the forest, then he wouldn't have been poisoned by the Nightwalker Sect. Although the Iron Buddha Temple's antidote couldn't completely detoxify the Nightwalker Sect's poison, it wasn't a problem to suppress it. It was because Na Ding didn't have the antidote that he was poisoned by the Nightwalker Sect and had to run away.
With Na Ding's introduction, the group was able to save a lot of trouble. They knew which plants were poisonous, which plants were parasitic, and which plants they should avoid.
The group of people slowly went deep into the forest. The light in the forest was very dim. Because there were too many trees, they blocked the sunlight. Therefore, the light in the forest was very dim. Na Zhen and the others were very careful as they walked. Although there weren't any strong beasts here, there were still a lot of snakes, insects, rats, and ants. Moreover, these beasts weren't powerless. Therefore, they were very careful.
After walking for about two hours, the forest became darker. Everyone stopped and rested for a while. Then Nua looked around and said, "This is the deepest place I've been. I haven't been inside since. Not far ahead is my last camp. I've rested there for a while. I think we should go there in a while. We should rest there today. I've cleaned up the place before, so we can rest there."
Na Zhen nodded and said, "Alright, we'll rest there tonight. Yesterday, we explored the forest. It's too big, it's enough for us to explore. I hope we can meet more people from the same sect." Na Zhen nodded and said, "Alright, we'll rest there tonight. Everyone nodded and didn't say anything. In this strange place, it was better to be careful.
After everyone rested for a while, they went directly to Na Ding's previous camp. The place had been cleaned up by him. Some of the shrubs were cleared, the ground was also clean.
Na Zhen looked around and nodded, "Good, we'll rest here today. Brother Jing Hai, should we make a fire?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, we should make a fire tonight. Let's go pick up some dry wood." Then he stood up and walked towards the forest. The others did the same. Before long, they picked up a pile of dry wood and returned to the camp. Then Zhao Hai made a fire in the middle of the camp. Then Zhao Hai took out his bowl and made a hot soup for everyone. Everyone was very happy when they drank the soup.
That night, everyone rested here. They all brought animal skins and laid them on the ground. It was moisture-proof and warm. Just like before, they left one person to keep watch. Everyone took turns to keep watch. Unknowingly, the night passed.
In the middle of the night, although there were some beasts spying on them, none of them attacked them. These beasts were all scared away by the fire. Because of this, everyone was able to have a good night's sleep.
The next day, after everyone had their breakfast, they went to explore the forest. Na Ding hadn't been to this area before, so he had no way to lead the way. Na Zhen didn't think about it and directly let Zhao Hai lead the way. It can be seen that after experiencing these things, he had complete faith in Zhao Hai's ability. He believed that Zhao Hai would lead the way.
Zhao Hai didn't decline and led everyone to explore the forest. With him in front, everyone felt a lot more relaxed. Zhao Hai avoided the poisonous plants, but the poisonous insects that were hidden in the plants were also scared away by Zhao Hai's staff. Along the way, everyone was more scared than hurt. They also harvested a lot of herbs.
At noon, Zhao Hai found a place for everyone to sit down and rest. While eating, Na Zhen smiled and said, "Junior Brother Jing Hai, I didn't expect you to be so familiar with the forest. We've harvested a lot of herbs today. After we return, we can ask the alchemists in the sect to make some pills." Na Zhen smiled and said, "Junior Brother Jing Hai, I didn't expect you to be so familiar with the forest.
Everyone nodded. Their harvest was indeed a lot. Although it was only morning, each of them had already harvested a few stalks of herbs. After they go back and ask the alchemists to refine them, it would be enough for them to use for a long time.
The other people in the Iron Buddha Temple weren't the same as Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai's body was incomparably strong. There were also various high-grade bloodlines in his body that hadn't completely fused with his body. Because of this, he didn't need to take any pills when he practiced the Iron Buddha Lotus Body. Moreover, he didn't need to worry about any hidden injuries.
However, this wasn't the case for the others. They were just ordinary people. When they practice Body Cultivation Techniques, they needed the assistance of pills. If they didn't take any pills, then their bodies would be left with hidden injuries. After a long time, their bodies would collapse. At that time, they would become a cripple, unable to cultivate.
Because of this, the people in the Iron Buddha Temple attached great importance to pills. If they directly used their contribution points to exchange for pills, then although it would be cheaper than outside, it would still be a huge expense. However, if they were to get their own herbs and find someone to refine them for them, then the price would be much lower. Because of this, the harvest of these herbs was very important to them.
