In the last three days, Xiu Er and the others calculated that the Gu Worm would mature.

There wasn't much time left for Shi Lei to do it.

However, Shi Lei who was still in the Red Cliff Mountain did not know the exact number, he only knew that he had to take action as soon as possible.

It was probably because of the mountain peak that Shi Lei woke up early in the morning. When he was curled up on the tree, he even felt a tinge of coldness.

The Red Cliff Mountain in the early morning was extremely quiet. What was rare was that there was actually a trace of sunlight that shone on his body, which was warm, as if it was somewhat warm.

Shi Lei stretched his body and planned to hurry up to pick the Taomou Herba, but something suddenly wrong happened.

"Where the f * * k?"

Shi Lei looked in front of him in shock. He thought that he was seeing things, but the Taomou Herba that he saw with his flashlight last night was really gone.

Was he mistaken?

Shi Lei kept recalling what happened last night. After confirming the Taomou Herba in front of him, Shi Lei climbed up the tree to sleep.

If he had known earlier, he would have taken the risk and taken it off the night before.

Shi Lei couldn't help but slap himself, blaming himself a lot.

Although he did not know what had happened or what exactly was the reason for it, since he had seen it from the top of the mountain of Red Cliff Mountain, it meant that there must be something else in the vicinity.

Thinking about it, Shi Lei continued to walk forward, wanting to see more Taomou Herba.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Shi Lei's legs were numb, but he still did not smell the same smell as last night. Looking at the sky which was gradually lighting up, Shi Lei felt helpless.

At this time, time was life, and every second could potentially be the life of Jiangling City. Shi Lei did not dare to waste too much time, and could only continue to stand up and walk forward.

After walking a distance, Shi Lei gradually realized that something was amiss.

In the journey from the waist of the mountain to the top of the mountain, Shi Lei had seen a lot of beasts, but he still had to be extremely careful, in order to avoid the beasts' encirclement.

However, ever since he had arrived at the top of the mountain, he hadn't seen a single animal. Even the legendary dangerous jungle didn't have the slightest movement.

The quieter it was, the more worried Shi Lei became.

But other than continuing to climb upwards, Shi Lei had no other choice. After walking a few steps, he suddenly heard a very strange sound.

"Squeak squeak squeak."

A mouse like voice travelled into Shi Lei's ears. Even though it sounded strange, Shi Lei still felt a lot more comfortable in this kind of frightening quiet environment where he could at least hear some activity.

The sound gradually became distant, as if it was moving towards a certain direction. Shi Lei was curious about what it was, thus he followed it without hesitation.

After about ten minutes of trekking, that familiar smell from last night appeared again, and it was even stronger than before.

Shi Lei became even more excited, this was the scent of Taomou Herba, it seemed like he did not see wrongly last night, this was the herb he saw.

Slowly walking forward, what appeared in front of Shi Lei was not a single Taomou Herba, but a large expanse of Taomou Herba.

It could be said that if all of these herbs were taken out, the Gu Worm from Miao Boundary would no longer exist.

Shi Lei had such a thought, but he knew that he wouldn't be able to handle these things alone. At least picking a few flowers this time would be enough.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Shi Lei quietly walked forward and made a mark when he saw so many Taomou Herba around.

According to what Master had said, the relationship between Miao Boundary and traditional Chinese medicine looked very calm, but currently, many people in the Miao Boundary held a fire in their hearts, just like Xiu Er and the others.

Once they wanted to make a move at a certain time point, these Taomou Herba would be an extremely important existence.

Shi Lei searched his entire body, but didn't find any eye-catching marks, so he had no choice but to take off his clothes and hang them on the treetops. He was prepared to come here next time, since it would be easy to see them.

Once all the work was done, Shi Lei was ready to go pick some stalks.

But right at this moment, Shi Lei suddenly felt a strong gust of wind coming from his side, catching him off guard.

Shi Lei immediately laid on the ground, wanting to dodge, but he was a step too late. The huge impact caused Shi Lei to fly a few meters away.

What is this?

Shi Lei rubbed his back, the impact just now had almost made him lose consciousness. If it were not for the fact that he was better at recuperating, if it was his previous body constitution, he would have definitely broken down by now.

This rat-like creature in front of him was as big as a tiger. What kind of monster was it?

"You must remember, there must be something guarding the vicinity of the Taomou Herba. On this Red Cliff Mountain, it is this kind of animal."

Last night, Peng Quantong had continuously warned her before she left. Looking carefully, this rat-like person was very likely to be the legendary Zi Yangshu.

If Peng Quantong had not said it, Shi Lei would definitely not have seen this creature. He might even think that Peng Quantong had purposely said it to scare people.

However, when he saw the monster in front of him, he couldn't help but be shocked.

With such a huge body, yet making a sound like a mouse, this indeed looked somewhat comical.

His comical appearance did not mean that Zi Yangshu was kind, just the viciousness in his eyes was enough to make people shiver.

Obviously, this huge beast was here to protect the Taomou Herba behind it.

Shi Lei knew very well that if he were to fight with Yue Yang, he would definitely not be able to win. He only had to take a step back, cover his chest and stagger while speaking to Zi Yangshu in front of him, "Big brother, I have no intention of stopping.

Since he had no way of defeating them, he might as well think of a way to save his country that would work.

Shi Lei said carefully, both of his feet slowly retreating backwards, afraid that he would anger this Zi Yangshu.

The impact just now had explained everything, even if there were no other moves, just his strong physique was not something Shi Lei could handle. Just that one attack, his entire body seemed like it was going to fall apart.

Zi Yangshu's mouth was still shouting, giving Shi Lei a strong sense of oppression.

After seeing that Shi Lei did not react excessively, Zi Yangshu gave him a disdainful glance, and did not do anything else. After Shi Lei left the area of the Taomou Herba, he left by himself.
