Chapter 288: Chapter 283: Tier-6 Spiritual Medicine_1

Lifeless Gorge is about 90 miles away from Black-water County Town. This is the area in Black-water County closest to Copper Gorge. Influenced by Copper Gorge, the vegetation in the mountains is twisted and black, most of which are extremely poisonous. Some plants even grow by absorbing the essence of animal flesh and blood.

The animals here are even more ferocious, not inferior to those in the rogue rivers. The deeper one goes, the higher the frequency of Demon Beasts appearing. And Lifeless Gorge happens to be the most dangerous area.

So far, no one has fully explored this gorge. There were cultivators who came to Black-water County to hunt Demon Beasts and entered the gorge, but they only went 60 miles deep before encountering a powerful Tier-3 Demonic Beast. They withdrew and widely publicized that the length of Lifeless Gorge was at least 700 miles!

The end point should have reached deep into Copper Gorge Extinction Domain.

Without reaching the Fifth Great Realm, one must never venture deep into it.

For example, Sophia, who is at the Fourth Great Realm, is carefully climbing across a steep rock wall - hundreds of feet deep below, with chilling cold winds blowing from the darkness. Although she can’t see clearly, she knows that there is a Tier-5 Monster lurking at the bottom of the valley!

It’s a Flood Dragon Python - she found out when it chased her into this gorge. Seeing the sleeping monster, she had no choice but to climb across the cliff.

As for flying... look at the group of large birds hovering above the gorge, all of them are Tier-4 Demon Beasts!

Sophia cursed secretly, but Lord hadn’t responded yet. Behind her, in addition to the terrifying monster, there were a group of cultivators led by a Fifth Great Realm, whom she couldn’t defeat.

"I hope these Demon Beasts can stop the pursuers." Sophia sighed and cursed the pursuers, "I just took a glance. Do you have to chase me all the way into Lifeless Gorge?"

"This place is so dangerous! Even you, at the Fifth Great Realm, might not be safe. Why bother with me..."

After crossing this cliff, the valley in front of her suddenly widened, with two huge peaks on both sides. Sunshine poured down, and some tenacious plants grew their roots into the rock walls, thriving surprisingly well.

Some plants had wildflowers, yellow and red bunches, making the scenery quite beautiful.

Sophia could finally relax slightly. She found a protruding platform on the rock wall, threw herself on it, lying in a big character shape, panting, "So tired..."

After resting for a while, Sophia glanced at a patch of white flowers on the distant rock wall. She stared at it and quickly sat up to take a closer look: in the white flower bushes, a grass stalk stood out, with a pale golden fruit at the top.

Sophia was excited, "That’s... Tier-6 Spirit Medicine White Spirit Fruits?"

"I’m rich!"

"A Tier-6 Spirit Medicine plant, as long as I can bring it out alive, it’ll be enough for my family’s expenses for half a year!"

Sophia was momentarily overjoyed, twisting her body and dancing enchantingly. Then she laughed foolishly again. It was true that Lord’s missions were dangerous and every time she was unlucky to encounter various dangers - but the harvests were always huge.

Ever since teaming up with Lord, she no longer had to be as impoverished as before, and their living standards have climbed sharply.

"Ah, it’s not hooking up. This is a business cooperation for mutual benefit."

Fortunately, Sophia hadn’t lost her sense of caution. Such a spiritual medicine might have some fierce creature guarding it nearby. She first observed it carefully from a distance and finally found a thin black threadworm hidden in the dense white flower bushes below.

"It’s well hidden. Good thing, I’m experienced. But what is it?"

Sophia patiently waited for almost half a shichen (an hour) before seeing a huge gray magpie appear in the sky. It made a chirping sound and circled for a while before swooping down toward the White Spirit Fruits.

Sophia, hiding in the shadows, nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes. Hurry up and eat, help me probe the way."

However, the magpie was also cunning. It almost reached the White Spirit Fruits, but suddenly twisted its body and flew up again.

The strange threadworm seemed to have great patience, as it hid motionless in the flowers.

The gray magpie circled continuously, trying several times. Other flying demons in the distant sky ignored the events here.

Sophia’s heart sank: from this situation, the nearby Demon Beasts seemed to be aware of the White Spirit Fruits. There must have been many "lessons" from previous attempts to ingest the White Spirit Fruits, but they ended up as prey to the threadworm, so they didn’t dare to come over.

This magpie probably wouldn’t have a good outcome - but it also showed that the threadworm was hard to deal with, and she might not be able to easily get this Tier-6 Spirit plant.

"Magpie, magpie, lovely big magpie, you have to work hard. Fight a losing battle with the threadworm so that the beautiful Sophia can take advantage of it." Sophia prayed repeatedly, daydreaming in the warm sunshine.

As if it heard her encouragement, or maybe after trying several times, it felt safe, so it swooped down again - this time much faster than before, showing its true power.

Sophia’s eyes widened immediately.

The magpie went straight for the White Spirit Fruits, and its huge beak would dig out the entire fruit with its roots.

But just as the magpie was about to touch the White Spirit Fruits, a black line shot out from the flower bushes below!

The black line went straight for the gray magpie’s neck and burrowed in. The threadworm was weird, its length was unknown. It had already entered the magpie’s neck, and as the startled magpie quickly flew up, the black line was constantly stretching, dozens of feet in an instant. The other end of the threadworm was still in the flowers!

The magpie screamed and flapped its wings frantically. The threadworm began to struggle with it, but it was still dragged and stretched out by several dozen feet. Gradually, it seemed to be over a hundred feet long and still stretching.

The tail of the threadworm was still in the flower bush.

Sophia watched, amazed, "Good thing I didn’t rashly go up there. This threadworm is so strange!"

Then it got even stranger. Layers of black mist seeped out of the threadworm’s body, either carrying deadly poison or some other ability, and infused into the magpie’s body.

The magpie seemed to suffer great damage, screaming and struggling with all its might. It even stretched the threadworm by several dozen feet more. From a distance, Sophia could see it looked like a kite with its string that was even longer than ordinary kite strings.
