Chapter 67: Delicious and addictive, the mountain cat leaves the nest

It was the morning of the second day of the mountain climbing expedition, and Zhao Xing was in no hurry to go to the mountain temple.

While keeping an eye on the cave, he used local materials to prepare for the strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain.

If the beasts in the cave went out to look for food, that would be great. He could take the opportunity to sneak in and escape.

If it doesn't come out, then lure it out.

Fortunately, the fourth level of "Every Tree and Grass Are Enemies" has arrived. There are no other materials on the mountain, but there are plenty of vines and willow branches of all kinds, so there is no shortage of materials for making straw men.

Zhao Xing has no intention of using the powerful Vajra Bamboo as it is difficult to replenish the Vajra Bamboo in a short period of time.

Facing the strange beast, he was unable to defeat it, so what Zhao Xing wanted to add now was the [God-like Straw Man].

"Go and bring me some rocks."

Zhao Xing gave orders to the entangled straw man.

"Go and catch some hares, mountain mice, and wild boars."

Zhao Xing gave another order to Vajra.

Whoosh whoosh~
The straw man began to carry out orders.

Then Zhao Xing retreated further away from the cave.

Found a piece of soil.

Take out two kinds of seedlings from the asparagus fern box.

The asparagus box was given by Xue Wenzhong and Chen Shijie two days before entering the mountains. Zhao Xing spent some time cultivating some of the seeds into seedlings.

If I need something now, I can use it immediately.

"If this strange beast eats meat, then I will get some meat."

"If you're eating a vegetarian diet, the balsamic berries and thyme should be able to attract attention."

Both types of plants are of lower grade, second level.

The main effect of saffron berries and thyme is one: they are delicious and addictive!

It has a great appeal to exotic vegetarian animals.

Looking at the dry bones in the cave, Zhao Xing felt that the strange beast was more likely to eat meat. However, the vine berries and lily of the valley also had some effect on carnivorous beasts, but the effect was slightly weaker.

"Xingyun!"

Zhao Xing's Xingyun has reached the ninth level, and after breaking through the sixth level of Juyuan, his control has also greatly increased.

Now this line of cloud is as big as a bed, and its height can be controlled to be relatively low. The vital energy is condensed and not dispersed, and will not cause any noise.

"Buyu!"

Patter~
The rain began to water the seedlings.

"growing up healthily!"

The vigorous growth at full level causes the seedlings to begin to change.

The soil in Lingshan is strong enough, so Zhao Xing did not use the Earth Vein Comprehensive Yuan. The growth cycle of these two plants is not long, so when they enter the growth period, they can just use wild growth. There is no need to waste energy to use the Earth Vein Comprehensive Yuan.

An hour later, the vanilla vines and fennel entered the growth stage.

Zhao Xing opened his eyes and began to cast magic.

"Growing wildly!"

The two plants began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye. Among them, the sweetberry vine soon bloomed and bore fruit, emitting a faint fragrance.

"The wind rises!"

Zhao Xing condensed a circular wind wall around him to prevent the fragrance from escaping and attracting other wild beasts to spy.

After doing all this, wait for both plants to mature.

At the same time, he also paid close attention to the movements at the entrance of the cave.

"I hope this strange beast is hungry and goes out to find food by itself..." Zhao Xing prayed in his heart.

If that's the case, that would be the best, and he wouldn't have to waste straw men or time.

Time passes slowly.

It was almost noon, the vanilla had already matured, the berries had already bloomed for the second time, and there was no movement in the cave.

"What kind of strange beast is so lazy? It won't sleep until noon, right?" Zhao Xing complained, "Does it forage for food at night? Or sleep during the day?" But even so, Zhao Xing still waited patiently.

"As long as we get to the mountain temple before midnight, we'll be fine."

"If you have any harvest today, you can compete for the first incense stick."

"If you don't gain much, then strive for the first ten sticks of incense."

There must be a mountain temple on a sacred mountain. When you climb up to a sacred mountain to enjoy the beauty, everything is uncertain.

Where is the spiritual beauty? How to collect it? Everything is unknown.

If you just look for it like this and rely on luck alone, I'm afraid few people will be able to get anything.

Even if you find the place, you may not be able to pick it.

For example, the expert riding the bamboo horse, Zhao Xing had seen it jumping around in the mountain stream for most of the day.

For example, now, the Lingxiu cave is guarded by strange beasts.

To ensure that they gain something, climbers must first go to the mountain temple to burn incense and pray.

After midnight every day, the True God in the temple will appear and tell climbers where the spiritual beauty is and how to get it.

Among them, the top incense is the best and has the greatest possibility of obtaining spiritual beauty.

The effects will gradually weaken thereafter, and will be tested by the True Lord.

On the first night, Zhao Xing did not go to fight for the incense.

On the second night, he was going to participate.

But it was still early in the morning, just after noon, so he was not in a hurry.

"How long will this senior keep us here? Do we have to stay here forever if he doesn't leave?" Fang Jie muttered in a low voice.

"Are you scared?" Zhou Gang asked.

"I'm afraid!" Fang Jie said honestly, "That senior is very powerful and was able to escape from the monster's mouth, but you and I may not be able to do that. If we continue to stay here..."

Zhou Gang thought about it and nodded, "I'll go ask."

But just as he stood up, he heard the straw man next to him turn around and leave. At the same time, a voice came from the wind: "It will be quite noisy next. You two can leave on your own. If we are destined to meet, we will meet in front of the temple tonight."

"Thank you, senior." Zhou Gang and Fang Jie were overjoyed and left quickly.

As the time approached the afternoon, the patient Zhao Xing finally couldn't bear it anymore.

He seriously suspected that the strange beast hunted at night and slept during the day.

It would be a waste of time to continue waiting, so the plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain began.

First, two of the Straw Men were formed into a group, and they approached the cave in pairs. They began to take turns throwing stones, kidnapped animals, and fragrant berries into the cave.

There was no reaction when I threw stones, and there was no reaction from the small animals either.

But when the fragrant berries were thrown, there was finally a reaction in the cave.

A black shadow quickly rushed out and ran straight towards the straw man who threw the thing.

It was still almost a residual image, but Zhao Xing, who was staying far away, finally caught a glimpse of the appearance of the strange beast.

"It's actually... a bobcat cub?"

The bobcat was very small, which was totally inconsistent with the identity of the cave owner.

Yet the plan is still going forward.

The two groups of fast straw men were destroyed by the mountain cats after just a few steps.

After confirming that the vine fruit worked on it, Zhao Xing decisively gave an order, asking the second group of straw men a hundred meters away to stand up and throw fruit towards the mountain cat.

"Swish~" As expected, the mountain cat ran towards the second group of straw men. It didn't rush at anyone, but in the process of grabbing the fruit, it lightly touched the straw men with its claws, and the straw men fell apart.

But it doesn’t matter. Soon a third group of straw men stood up not far away and continued to attract.

Just like that, in a flash, the mountain cat appeared three miles away.

Three miles away is the limit of the straw man’s control.

But Zhao Xing was not in a hurry. Along the way, he transplanted lavender over there and connected them into a line to attract them to go farther. The ultimate goal was to attract the bobcats to the area where the berries were planted.

"It's almost time, let's do it!"
