Chapter 1422 Specter gra.s.s
Chen Dao slowed down and explained to the person at his side, “Be careful when picking herbs here. You must not touch some of those herbs.”“Mm, I remember.” Feng Jiu nodded in reply. Suddenly, an alchemist in front of her cried out in surprise.
“Look, it’s the specter gra.s.s! Quick, grab it!”
Feng Jiu was stupefied for a moment. Specter gra.s.s? She looked ahead. There, in the dim night, at a place illuminated by the flame, a white plant that looked like gauze emerged among the weeds and swayed against the night wind.
“Eek? It’s really the specter gra.s.s!” She let out a squeal of surprise. She didn’t expect there were specter gra.s.ses here.
Specter gra.s.s was a fourth level spirit herb. It could be used in many kinds of pills. However, it was considered very rare and precious, no matter whether it was the market place or any other places. Since the herb could run away, people might not be able to pick it even if it appeared there.
“Ah! There’s another one!”
Another man exclaimed. Immediately, Chen Dao exclaimed, “What’s so surprising? Specter herbs come in pairs, male and female plants. If one appears, I’m sure the other will be around here. Now, surround them and don’t let them run away…”
Before he finished saying this, several alchemists in front of him had pounced on the two specter gra.s.ses together. With so many people rus.h.i.+ng up fiercely, the two specter gra.s.ses were alarmed into fleeing toward the dark.
Although Feng Jiu had seen the herb before, it was her first time to see the spirit gra.s.s running away in front of her eyes and found it amusing. Especially when she saw the people in front of her rushed up yet unable to catch the specter gra.s.ses and were smeared with muds instead. Feng Jiu’s lips curved up, trying so hard not to laugh.
“Ah! They’re running away. Chase them!”
One of the alchemists started chasing the gra.s.sess. Several people behind quickly followed. “I found them first. They’re mine!”
“Whoever picks it is the owner!”
Seeing several people in front racing to get the herbs first, Chen Dao raised his voice and called out, “Don’t run too far. Even if you can’t catch it, there will certainly be some inside.”
However, they were busy catching the two specter gra.s.ses. How could they pay attention and listen to him?
Watching the people disappearing from their sights at the blink of an eye, Feng Jiu, Chen Dao and Luo Heng were startled. They only felt a gust of wind and their bodies shrank.
“This…what happens if the team gets separated?” Feng Jiu hesitated. She asked because looking at the situation, if those people were chasing the specter gra.s.s, wouldn’t they be scattered?
“If you get lost in this place, you will be left behind. A lone alchemist will not be able to protect himself. Moreover, if he encounters others who pick spirit herbs, he will certainly not be able to keep the herb.”
While listening to Chen Dao’s explanation, Feng Jiu saw him shaking his head helplessly. “In fact, if I could move on my own, I think it would be better not to join them.
Each one of them doesn’t necessarily help even if you encounter danger, and you see, sigh, they will only give me trouble..”
“Hey hey, Senior Brother Chen, should we look for them?”
Luo Heng grinned and looked at Chen Dao. “Although sometimes Senior Brother Chen is a little out of focus, his sense of responsibility is still very strong. Since you are the team leader, I believe you will find all the members of the team, so that they will not be robbed of their spirit herbs or killed when they encounter other teams here.”
“Tch! That’s enough, kid. Don’t flatter me too much.”
Chen Dao sneered at him and sighed, “Let’s go! Bring them back and teach them a lesson.”
