Help Him

Xu Yunxin snapped out of his daze and realized the changes around him.

Other senses that had been pushed aside by his sudden enlightenment surged back into his mind, and he quickly learned the whole story.

He pinned his hopes that the "Green Jade Ginseng" was still alive, so he touched it with extreme care and gentleness.

As a result, the "Qingyu Ginseng" shattered at the slightest touch.

Xu Yunxin only had time to perceive the last bit of information from the "Azure Jade Ginseng": "Help Him!"

Who is He?

How can I help?

No one can answer.

The "Green Jade Ginseng" has already crumbled and disintegrated, and the White Jade Ginseng body has turned to ash inch by inch.

Amidst the ashes, a splash of red fell.

Xu Yunxin reacted quickly and gently caught the red blush.

This is a bright red fruit.

It is "Green Jade Ginseng Fruit".

He sensed the life force emanating from the "Jade Ginseng Fruit" through his palm, and finally felt a little comforted.

"Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of your seeds!"

Xu Yunxin secretly made up his mind, thinking: I must do a good job of fulfilling Encan's last request!

Xu Yunxin carefully put the ginseng fruit away, then took out his long knife and dug downwards with force.

While using the "Azure Jade Ginseng" to sense the earth's veins, he discovered a small area rich in spiritual energy beneath them.

According to Xu Yunxin's deduction, this place is very likely a tiny "spirit stone vein"!

Inspired by the "spirit stone vein," Xu Yunxin dug at lightning speed.

"Ding!"

With a crisp sound, he finally dug it up.

He used his long knife to dig out the entire piece of ore, and sure enough, he found many "spirit stones" on it.

However, these spirit stones were dull and lacked luster, clearly having lost all their spiritual energy.

Xu Yunxin carefully counted them. There were nearly four hundred spirit stones on this piece of raw ore, but now they had all lost their spiritual energy.

Seeing such a huge sum of money go to waste, Xu Yunxin couldn't help but slap his forehead in frustration and mutter, "They can really eat that much!"

He had misunderstood the new cultivation method. Most of the spirit stones on this ore were actually used by the "Azure Jade Ginseng" to nourish and moisturize this "spiritual soil".

Although only a small amount of "Qingyu Ginseng" is used each time, it has been consumed continuously for over five hundred years and is now almost depleted.

Xu Yunxin used at most thirty spirit stones; the rest had already scattered and dissipated.

Unable to find any spirit stones, he checked the entire cave again to make sure nothing was missed. Then, he used a storage talisman to collect the raw ore, hoping to later persuade someone who liked collecting to sell it for spirit stones.

As soon as they emerged from the cave, six black dogs swarmed around them.

Xu Yunxin then took out the "Yellow Sand Lizard" and fed it to the dogs, rewarding them for helping him keep watch and protect him.

While feeding the dog, Xu Yunxin used soil and turf to fill in the hole he had dug.

Then I opened the system to check.

After finishing these tasks, Xu Yunxin took the black dog and prepared to return home.

One man and six dogs went to retrieve the animal traps they had set earlier, and also to see if the barbarians had any accomplices, and whether the accomplices had gone to look for the two missing barbarians.

Back at the place where the barbarians were hunted, the two barbarian corpses were still lying on the ground, covered by a swarm of flies buzzing around them.

Everything seemed normal, but Xu Yunxin frowned secretly.

Two days have passed since he killed the two barbarians. This is not a peaceful place. Even if there are no demonic beasts willing to eat them, there are still wild animals. How come the barbarians' corpses are still in the same state?

They don't even know how to do a complete fake.

Xu Yunxin gently waved his hand to make the black dog retreat, while he moved forward and gently touched the bamboo beside him.

Using the bamboo as a point of view, they indeed discovered an ambush in the bamboo forest.

The ambush site was where he had set up animal traps—five traps, with three barbarians hidden in the bamboo near each trap.

There are fifteen barbarians in total, five of whom are "archer barbarians" who carry bows.

These "archer barbarians" must have mastered some secret technique; despite not being cultivators, their arrows can magically turn around in mid-air.

Apart from the "Archery Barbarians," the other barbarians look rather ordinary, and it's unclear whether they have any hidden abilities.

However, based on his existing impression of the barbarians, he believed that their weapons and arrows were almost certainly poisoned, with black marks on them.

Xu Yunxin still had several golden talismans on him, and he also had the [Skill: Wild Transformation] as a trump card, so he wasn't afraid of being poisoned.

After roughly assessing the forces lying in ambush, Xu Yunxin entered the area and strode straight towards the first animal trap.

He didn't bother wasting time on these ordinary barbarians who weren't cultivators, and quickly killed them to get rid of them.

Just as Xu Yunxin appeared and charged forward, the bowstring hummed, and five arrows, anticipating his movements, shot towards him at lightning speed.

He swung his longsword swiftly, and in a flash, he easily cleaved five ironwood arrows in two.

「しゅうせんしゃ!」

Realizing their presence had been discovered, the barbarians stopped hiding and jumped down from the bamboo, shouting loudly.

Xu Yunxin only knew a few words and couldn't understand much of the gibberish. He sprinted with all his might, even faster than before, and aimed at the two foremost barbarians, swinging his sword horizontally!

"ちゅうい!"

"It's too late!"

Xu Yunxin is no longer the same as yesterday. The spiritual energy within his body is vast and boundless, and the flow of spiritual energy faintly emits the sound of surging torrents.

When the attack was unleashed at full power, the blade seemed to be faster than the sound!

"Sizzle! Sizzle!" Two sounds.

The heads of the two barbarians at the very front flew into the air, their eyes wide open, their faces filled with fear and disbelief!

"Hey, didn't you say you weren't afraid?"

Xu Yunxin was killing with great gusto, and continued to slash forward with his sword!

The "Archer" standing behind the two reacted quickly. He suddenly used his longbow to block forward, and took advantage of the gap when Xu Yunxin's longsword broke the longbow to fall backward, narrowly avoiding Xu Yunxin's fatal blow.

Just as Xu Yunxin was about to deliver the final blow, the bowstring hummed again, and four jet-black arrows with blood-red patterns engraved on their arrowheads were already in the air!

Xu Yunxin had no choice but to use his long sword to cut the arrows first.

"Ding!"

Swords and arrows clashed.

"boom!"

The crimson runes on the arrowheads suddenly lit up and exploded simultaneously!

Arrow fragments flew everywhere, and as they exploded, a plume of crimson smoke rushed towards us!

The moment the blood-red smoke appeared, it sizzled and hissed, clearly indicating that it contained a deadly poison!
