Martial World's
Ch 197 - Thundergrass
…
…
…
During the day, Thundercrash Mountain was truly an incredible spectacle to behold. Lush forests adorn the base of the mountain, and 10,000 feet above the greenery are thinned into tall shrubs and grasses. 10,000 feet more and there's just a little weed. As one gradually rose, it slowly turned to an icy snow plain, and closer to the peak, there was no snow or ice; there was only a faint flash of white lightning hissing.
From bottom to top, it is dark green, yellow, brown, and finally white.
Thundercrash Mountain was 100,000 feet tall. The dense forest at the base was tens of miles wide, and the trees were huge and tall. If seven or eight people held hands around the tree, the tree could be considered as king among the trees. However, in the forest of Thundercrash Mountain, this type of tree was ordinary.
As Lin Ming walked, he even saw a tree with a proboscis that would carry several dozen people to wrap around; it was over 1000 feet tall, even the roots of trees that protrude from above the ground are as big as temples. This tree looks at least four or five thousand years old.
The deeper the water, the bigger the fish. The forest is like this. The deeper it entered, the higher the tree was and the more ferocious the beast was.
Not just these monsters. There were also venomous snakes and insects hiding within the thick grass, they were extremely deadly due to their highly poisonous venom. Fortunately, Lin Ming had already applied a special Southern Wilderness oil to his body, so he was not afraid of this poison.
Lin Ming continued to guard the entire time. When he looked at these gigantic trees, he did not think it was too strange that Thundercrash Mountain was capable of producing a Thunder Lizard that was equivalent to a Xiantian realm martial artist.
From these ferocious beasts, Lin Ming avoided what he could. For the rest who chose to rush at him, he would only eliminate them.
Like this, Lin Ming safely traveled to the forest around Thundercrash Mountain and arrived at the prairie area on the hillside. The grass here was no shorter than a human, and was filled with countless snakes and venomous insects.
Lin Ming walked for a while. Suddenly, something caught his attention. He saw there was a small 30-foot-long land without grass, and a black stone in the middle.
This rock is actually a piece of magnetic ore. In this stone crevice was a stubborn white sword-shaped grass growing. It was about a foot tall, and there was a small white fruit blooming in the center. The fruit glittered with a faint electric light.
Thundergrass's!
When Lin Ming had purchased the introductory pamphlet for Thundercrash Mountain, he had memorized the appearance of Thundergrass. Thundergrass was quite conspicuous. They are usually only found in magnetic ores. Not only that, but due to the presence of the power of thunder, there were often no other plants around. Like this, it's very easy to spot.
“The leaves are white and the veins are bright red .. This should be 50-year-old Thundergrass. ”
Lin Ming casually picked the small white fruit of Thundergrass, but left the plant alone. Thundergrass only grew in magnetic ores; it was not easy to nurture and grow. Lin Ming did not want to destroy it, he only wanted to take the fruit that was filled with the power of thunder
Holding the white fruit in his hand, Lin Ming focused and began to slowly dry up the thunder power contained within. The power of thunder flowed along his meridians and into his heart, where greed was absorbed by the perverted Seed God.
Lin Ming was slightly disappointed as he tried to sense if there was a change in the Thunder Soul Heretical God Seed. Of course, a 50-year-old Thundergrass was not valuable enough.
Lin Ming sighed. The power of thunder around the base of Thundercrash Mountain was less than that in the Valley of Thunder of the Seven Profound Martial House. It was not strange that there were not many things here that could help his Thunder Soul grow. It seemed like his dream of accumulating a large number of young Thundergrass to cultivate his Thunder Soul was just an illusion.
If he wanted to cultivate the Thunder Soul, then he would have to find a Thundergrass that was several hundred years old or even 1000 years old. He might also have to find a way to extract the power of thunder from the Thunder Lizard's body, and if there was a faint chance, find the Thunder Soul within Thundercrash Mountain.
Of course Lin Ming did not even entertain any hope about that last possibility. Even if there was a Thunder Soul, it would most likely be at the peak of Thundercrash Mountain where lightning struck all year round. With his own strength, there was no way for him to reach the top.

Lin Ming continued walking forward. Suddenly, he heard a faint sound of battle coming from the front.
In the tall grasses of these forests, one had to watch over the beasts, they also had to be wary of other martial artists. It is too easy to kill someone and steal all their possessions, leaving them here to rot without a clue who did it.
However, Lin Ming was not worried about this. This was because the martial artists that hung around the base of Thundercrash Mountain were mostly below the Bone Forging stage.
Although it was said that even a Houtian realm martial artist would be no more than halfway up the side of Thundercrash Mountain, the reality was that a Houtian realm martial artist would almost never come here.
This was because the only value in coming to Thundercrash Mountain was Thundergrass. The martial artists that came here only came to pick up Thundergrass. The 100-year-old Thundergrass sold for a little over 100 gold; it was a small amount that the Pulse Condensation Period martial artists could not look at and above.
When Lin walked through the grass, he saw the figures in front of him wandering around. The sound of the battle became increasingly clear, and he could clearly hear the clashing sword sounds as well as the deep roars of the ferocious beasts.
As Lin Ming spread out his soul force, he could feel that in the open not too far away, five martial artists were surrounding the ferocious beasts. This savage beast looked like a rhinoceros, but its back was covered in scales and its tail was thick and long, with spiked ends.
The savage beast was surrounded by five martial artists; three men and two women. They had a symbol shaped like a small black dragon covering the right part of their chest; it seemed like they were from the same family or the same school. The two women were identical twins, and were about 18 or 19 years old. The sisters' cultivation was at the early Viscera Training stage, and they used long swords. The attacks had no strength, and the wind swords from their blades only left superficial wounds on the body of the iron-armored rhinoceros.
A young man who was about the same age as the twins was also at the early Viscera Training stage. Its strength is slightly less than that of the – twins at most it can serve as a distraction.
Finally, the latter two were older martial artists, each at the early Altering Muscle and the peak Altering Muscle stages.
The one who led the attack was a peak Altering Muscle martial artist. He was wearing impressive black clothes, and he used a black darksteel staff as his weapon. Against a savage beast whose body was entirely covered by armored scales, it was difficult to wield a sword. Instead, the old staff had the greatest effect. The black-clothed martial artist had quick reflexes, and whenever an armored ferocious beast would switch targets, the black-clothed man would take advantage of the opportunity and quickly suppress it with the staff.
He mainly attacked between the eyes of the armored rhino. This is where the central nervous system of the armored rhinoceros resides, and also its greatest point of weakness.
Although the armored rhinoceros had formidable defensive abilities, it could not stop the black-clothed martial artist from destroying it with his staff. Slowly, his vision began to blur and his movements blunted until it started bleeding from his eyes and ears.
The black-clothed martial artist saw the opportunity, and his entire body erupted with bursts of true essence. The black darksteel staff in his hands began to glow with a deep red glow.
"Five Mountains Collapse!"
The black-clothed martial artist roared as he used his strongest martial skill. His staff hit the armored rhino on the forehead, and with a loud cracking sound, the armored rhino's head caved in, its skull broken.
The iron rhinoceros howled pitifully, wobbled, and finally fell to the ground.
"The Senior Apprentice Brother Five Mountains Collapse is truly ferocious!" The young man who was not yet 20 years old carefully flattered the black-clothed martial artist after he defeated the armored rhino to death.
The black-clothed martial artist smiled and laughed out loud, greatly enjoying this. He said, “Little Long, go and cut the rhino horn, the thing can be sold at a high price. ”
"Good . "The young man named Little Long nodded and, in high spirits, went to cut off the rhino horn.
The two twin girls came. With envy they said, the “Murid Five Mountain Senior Apprentice Brother is becoming more and more ferocious every day. We sisters still haven't learned any martial skills … "
All those words were flattery, there was also a small amount of hatred hidden within. To an ordinary martial artist, a legacy of martial skills was hard to come by.
These five people could be considered as the lowest tier wedding artists. Their talents were not impressive, and they came from ordinary family backgrounds. They join a small school of unknown martial arts. But, this school actually only had a little over a dozen students. They also only had one called 'master', who was at the peak stage of Bone Forging.
All those words were flattery, there was also a small amount of hatred hidden within. To an ordinary martial artist, a legacy of martial skills was hard to come by.
These five people, compared to the worst disciples of the Seven Profound Martial House Human Hall, still had a huge gap between them.
Hearing the complaints of the two sisters, the black-clothed martial artist laughed and said with a smile, “Sang Yu, Sang Lan, don't be discouraged. Your talent is good, as long as you work hard and strive for excellence, then the teacher will naturally teach you. In two days when I have the chance, I will convey a good word to you to the master, and ask him to hand over the 'Nine Blades of Flowers' to you. ”
The two sisters heard this and were overjoyed. They sweetly said, “Thank you Brother Apprentice Elder. ”
The black-clothed soldier nodded in satisfaction. She likes the feeling of being able to influence the fate of others, especially when they are a pair of beautiful twin women.
But at this moment, he noticed Lin Ming was not too far away. It seemed like this young man had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He was surprised that he had not noticed her until now.
However, the cultivation of this youngster was only at the early Viscera Training stage, so he was not worthy of attention.
The black-clothed man glanced over and seemed to suddenly recall something. He said to Lin Ming. "Hello friend, did you come to Thundercrash Mountain for an adventure? Do you want to come with us? We will give you a low price. With your initial Viscera Training training, it is dangerous for you to climb Thundercrash Mountain. If you find the Thunder Lizard, you will definitely die. ”
As the black-clothed martial artist spoke, the other four also noticed Lin Ming. After they saw Lin Ming's cultivation, they were somewhat surprised. The newborn calf is really not afraid of tigers, this brat is really not afraid. His cultivation was only a trivial initial Viscera Training stage, and he was alone, yet he dared to come to Thundercrash Mountain.
Lin Ming said, "No need, I am used to being alone. ”
After being rejected by Lin Ming, the black-clothed martial artist smiled and said nothing. But in his heart he had hope that Lin Ming would suffer misfortune later. These young people of today really have no idea how vast this world is. For a 15 or 16 year old to have cultivation at the early Viscera Training stage is impressive. However, it was inevitable that his heart would swell due to his confidence, and thinking that he was above the world, he would suffer some bad luck. In the worst case, he would also lose his life.
The young man beside the black-clothed martial artist curled his lips when he heard Lin Ming's rejection, and whispered, "He doesn't know what's good for him. If Senior Elder Apprentice Brother was willing to take him, then he had already given it a lot of thought. Since he rejected it, he would die sooner or later. ”
