Lu Qingshan pointed at the black flowers planted in the wooden building. "Is it because of those things?"
Sang Ku nodded. "Yes, this flower is called the Poisonous Spirit Flower. It emits an aura that monsters hate the most.
As long as we pick it and soak it in the well water that we drink every day, everyone will emit this aura and monsters will lose interest in us. "
"However, this flower has two disadvantages. First, it is poisonous.
The Poison Spirit Flower, just like its name, was poisonous.
Although the toxicity is not strong, we have been drinking the well water soaked in the Poisonous Spirit Flower for a long time to avoid the attacks of monsters. The poison has been accumulating in our bodies and is difficult to expel.
Therefore, our lifespans are much shorter than the average person. "
Lu Qingshan suddenly understood. No wonder the skeleton he found was covered in green spots.
No wonder the villagers' lips were dark purple and their expressions were strange. They were really poisoned.
"Second, the growth of this flower requires an ore called the Poison Crystal. Without this ore, it will quickly wither," Village Chief Sang Ku continued.
From the looks of it, the trouble that Sang Ku encountered should be related to the Dark Poison Crystal.
Lu Qingshan already had a conclusion.
Sure enough, Sang Ku opened his mouth again. "We used to have a Poison Crystal mine.
However, a month ago, an extremely ferocious monster suddenly appeared on the mine. It stood there and had a frightening aura. We did not dare to go near it. "
"We tried to use the Poisonous Spirit Flower to drive it away, but this monster was very strange. It seemed to be immune to the aura of the Poisonous Spirit Flower and did not move at all."
"Without the Poison Crystal, we would not be able to cultivate the Poisonous Spirit Flower. Without the Poisonous Spirit Flower, we would not be able to survive in the Three Thousand Mountains where monsters are everywhere." Sang Ku's voice gradually became heavy.
"Since Fellow Daoist Lu is a cultivator from outside the mountains, you must have a high cultivation level to be able to come here safely. Therefore, I would like to take the liberty of asking Fellow Daoist Lu to help our Black Scorpion Village." After Village Chief Sang Ku finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Lu Qingshan and did not get up for a long time.
Lu Qingshan pondered for a moment and said, "You get up first. I can go and take a look at the situation, but I can't guarantee that I will help."
Sang Ku was very smart. From the moment he saw Lu Qingshan, he didn't make any requests to Lu Qingshan. Instead, he complied with Lu Qingshan's every request and cooperated with him.
Under such circumstances, Lu Qingshan found it difficult to directly reject Sang Ku's request.
However, Lu Qingshan was also very rational. He decided to observe the situation first.
If that Vicious Beast was something he could deal with, he wouldn't mind lending a helping hand, but if it wasn't within his capabilities, he wouldn't force himself.
Hearing this, Sang Ku's face lit up with joy. He quickly replied, "Of course. If this Demonic Beast is too strong, then I can only say that the heavens want to destroy our Black Scorpion Village."
"Lead the way." Lu Qingshan didn't want to waste too much time here. His most important task now was to find Mi Du.
.....
Two strange rays of light flew over from afar.
The one on the left was as black as ink, while the one on the right was red. They stopped in front of the mountain peak and slowly descended.
"Fellow Cultivator Lu, we're here."
Sang Ku's slightly aged voice traveled into his ears. Lu Qingshan nodded and looked at the small mountain peak in front of him.
On the cliff at the foot of the mountain, there was a very obvious mine. Looking from afar, the entrance of the mine was pitch black, making it impossible to see what was inside.
"That mine is the mine for Dark Poison Crystals. We usually mine Dark Poison Crystals in there." Sang Ku whispered to Lu Qingshan and pointed at the protruding cliff above the cliff.
A Demonic Beast was sitting there.
"Hiss!" The Western Rat King, who was standing on Lu Qingshan's shoulder, couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air the moment he saw this Demonic Beast. He whispered, "Lu Qingshan, this big guy doesn't look easy to deal with. Why don't we just give up …"
The Demonic Beast in front of them was really huge and extraordinarily ferocious.
Its body was like a fierce tiger, one Zhang tall and four to five Zhang long.
Its ferocious head was like a lion's. It was buried under its forearms and couldn't be seen clearly, as if it was sleeping.
Its whole body was covered in white fur, with regular black patterns. Its tail was even longer than its body, curling up from its back all the way to its head.
One look and you could tell it was not a kind creature.
"Until half a month ago, when this Demonic Beast suddenly appeared there. Because of that, we didn't dare to go near the mine to mine Dark Poison Crystals." Sang Ku gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "It wants to kill us.
We've already made preparations. After a while, when the Dark Poison Crystals in our storage are about to be used up, we'll risk our lives and charge into the mine again to mine Dark Poison Crystals. "
However, after Sang Ku said these words angrily, he found that Lu Qingshan's gaze on him had become very strange, mixed with some meaning that he couldn't understand.
Then, under his incredulous gaze, Lu Qingshan actually leaned towards the ferocious beast in such a leisurely manner, looking completely fearless and defenseless.
.....
Lu Qingshan walked straight to the foot of the mountain and raised his head to look at the Demonic Beast on the cliff. Suddenly, he asked loudly, "What are you doing up there?"
Sang Ku was dumbfounded. The Western Rat King anxiously tugged at Lu Qingshan's collar. "Lu Qingshan, what are you trying to do by openly provoking him?"
Lu Qingshan patted the Western Rat King and comforted him, "It's not a big problem."
Under the Western Rat King's incredulous gaze, the Demonic Beast sitting on the cliff actually replied to Lu Qingshan using human speech. It said in a low, muffled voice, "I'm scared. I don't … dare to move."
"You don't dare to come down?" Lu Qingshan frowned and asked.
"Mm …" The Demonic Beast replied again.
"What is it trying to say?" The Western Rat King still didn't understand the Demonic Beast's situation.
"I understand," Lu Qingshan nodded at the Demonic Beast and asked, "Do you need me to help you down?"
In the next moment, the Western Rat King's beady eyes couldn't help but widen.
When the Demonic Beast heard Lu Qingshan's words, it actually lifted its huge and ferocious head from its forearm.
The Demonic Beast covered its eyes tightly with its two tiger claws, which shone with a cold light. Only a slit was left open. Through the slit, it carefully looked at Lu Qingshan below and said in an aggrieved voice, "I beg you."
….
In ancient times, there were Demonic Beasts with the body of a tiger and the head of a Demonic Beast, with white fur and black stripes.
"Shaped like a tiger, colorful and with a long tail, it is called Zhu Yu. It can travel a thousand miles in a day."
Zhu Yu, also known as the Benevolent Beast, was benevolent by nature. It didn't even have the heart to trample on green grass. It wouldn't eat creatures that didn't die of natural causes.
How could a Zhu Yu that couldn't even trample on green grass have any bad intentions?
