Chapter 29 Picking Wind Grass
"It's really a gathering of heroes."

The Luo family's carriage slowly stopped at the entrance of Lijia Village. The one-armed old man swept his eyes over hundreds of hunters, his gaze paused slightly on Jiang Yue, and he sighed.

However, he did not greet Jiang Yue, but just dismounted and said loudly:

"Everyone, you are here to pick the Skywind Grass, right?"

The crowd echoed.

The old one-armed man continued, "I, the Luo family, would like to purchase the Heavenly Wind Grass. I promise to charge you 200 coins per plant. We will collect the goods at the entrance of Lijia Village. However, we will only accept the purchase today. No one will be accepted after this date. Do you understand? If you have no objection, please sign the blood contract."

As he spoke, the one-armed old man took out a huge piece of white cloth, on which were written words such as voluntary entry into the mountains, and death in the mountains had nothing to do with the Luo family. There was a large blank space below, which was left for the hunters to sign.

"clear."

Hearing this, everyone nodded in response.

In Jiang Yue's team, Li Tieya grinned and said, "Now you know why we have to recruit everyone to go into the mountains together. Only by uniting together can we survive from these wolf cubs. If we go into the mountains alone, no matter how much Tianfeng grass we collect, we won't be able to bring it out."

The others in the hunting team agreed with this.

"Okay, go sign it."

The old hunter shouted, and walked forward with Jiang Yue and others. He bit his fingertips and left his name on the white cloth.

In fact, it doesn’t matter whose name is left. What matters is the blood. If something really happens and the family comes to trouble Luo, the coroner at the yamen can do a blood test and there will be no problem with Luo.

Hundreds of hunters signed slowly, and it took half an hour to finish.

"Okay, you can go into the mountain now. Luo's Trading Company is collecting Tianfeng grass here. After you go down the mountain, just come directly to the entrance of Lijia Village."

The old one-armed man laughed.

Upon hearing this, the hunters dispersed and followed their respective hunting teams into the mountains.

Jiang Yue also followed Li Tieya back to the old hunter's team, but their hunting team was not in a hurry to go into the mountains.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have something to say."

The old hunter said with a smile, "This is not the first time for all of you to pick the tips of the Heavenly Wind Grass. I'll be frank with you. You followed me into the mountains probably because you were attracted by the anti-poison medicine in my hand. But I won't give this medicine away for free. Each of you must give me a Heavenly Wind Grass before I can give you this medicine."

Jiang Yue raised his eyebrows, but the others looked normal, not surprised at all.

"Old Hunter, how can you be sure that your anti-poison medicine is effective?"

The only woman in the hunting team asked. The woman was dressed as a hunter and was said to be from Qing County.

The fact that she could pass herself off as a woman was enough to show that she was not simple, so the people present did not look down on her.

What's more, the questions asked by this woman are normal.

“It’s naturally simple.”

The old hunter replied, "If it doesn't work, you can only stay in the poison miasma for three hours at most. If you take the anti-poison medicine, you can stay in the poison miasma for at least five hours. Don't you know whether the medicine you took into the mountains is effective? When you come out, just give me, the old hunter, a plant of Heavenly Wind Grass."

"Too."

The old hunter gave the medicine first and then took the money. Several people nodded to show their acceptance.

"This is the antidote."

The old hunter threw paper-wrapped medicine packets into everyone's hands and said, "Take the medicine immediately after entering the poisonous miasma. Everyone, follow me closely."

At this point, the old hunter glanced at Jiang Yue and Xiao Tian, ​​and added: "Dogs can eat it too, so I'll give you an extra bag."

Jiang Yue got two medicine bags, and the others got one each.

Everyone put away their medicine bags and followed the old hunter in silence. It was only a dozen miles of mountain road from Lijiakou to Cangying Cliff, which was not far, but Cangying Cliff was located at a high point and the mountain road was not easy to walk on. It took the group half an hour to reach Cangying Cliff.

The Goshawk Cliff stands alone in the world, proudly standing among the mountains. The cliff is covered with light green poisonous miasma. The goshawks are circling in the sky, like tiny black dots, which swoop down from time to time, passing through the poisonous miasma to hunt prey.

"Look, that's the Skywind Grass."

The old hunter pointed to a blade of grass in the distance and said, "The Sky Wind Grass has six leaves, and each leaf has a faint wind-shaped pattern, hence the name Sky Wind Grass. There are quite a few Sky Wind Grasses on the Eagle Cliff, but not too many. Generally, picking ten of them is considered a big profit."

Jiang Yue looked in the direction the old hunter's finger was pointing and memorized the appearance of the Tianfeng grass in his mind.

"It's very windy on Goshawk Cliff. If the Heavenly Wind Grass loses its roots, it can fly dozens of miles away. So when you pick the Heavenly Wind Grass, you must do it when the wind is weak and quickly put it into the animal skin bag. If you encounter wind, let go quickly, otherwise your life will be in danger."

The old hunter shared his experience with the other hunter. "Be careful of the goshawk. The flapping of its wings can also blow the Skywind Grass away. Okay, if we go any further, we will enter a poisonous miasma. Everyone, prepare your medicine first."

Jiang Yue also took out his medicine bag and followed the old hunter into the poisonous miasma.

Everyone stopped at the same time and looked at the old hunter until he swallowed the powder in the medicine bag. Then everyone continued to swallow the powder.

but
Only you know whether you have swallowed the powder or not.

Just like Jiang Yue, he had the magical power of holding treasure and leading sheep, and was immune to all toxins, so he simply did not swallow the powder. As for Xiaotian, he had an amazing physique, so he took two mouthfuls of the poisonous miasma, and after tasting it carefully, he was sure that the poisonous miasma could not poison him, so he did not eat it either.

Both this man and this dog have a lot of tricks up their sleeves.

After taking the medicine powder, everyone continued to move forward and actually climbed up the Eagle Cliff.

At this time, there were already many hunters on the Goshawk Cliff. Everyone bent their bodies and took advantage of the fact that there was no wind on the Goshawk Cliff to quickly pick the Tianfeng Grass.

"what--"

Suddenly, a scream was heard.

Jiang Yue's gaze moved, and he saw a thin hunter holding a Tianfeng grass tightly in his hand. There was another hunter next to him waving a fan in his hand. The wind blew the Tianfeng grass, and the hunter flew several miles away from the Goshawk Cliff.

With a scream, the thin hunter, clutching the Sky Wind Grass, fell into the endless abyss.

"hiss--"

Jiang Yue widened his eyes and witnessed the murder scene with his own eyes, feeling extremely surprised.

If the Tianfeng Grass is blown away and you don't let go in time, you will be blown away for several miles and fall into the cliff.

It's not just the mountain wind, there's also man-made wind and the wind created by the hawks. Any disturbance will cause the uprooted Tianfeng grass to fly away!

If you don't let go in time, the Tianfeng Grass and the person will fly off the cliff and die without a burial place.

Picking Tianfeng grass is so dangerous.

"Hurry up and act. Five hours is the limit. Hurry up. There is no time to waste."

The old hunter urged.

The members of the hunting team took their sickles and walked forward carefully, finding a place where there were no people, and picked the Tianfeng Grass alone. At the same time, they were extremely careful around themselves, for fear of being ambushed while picking the Tianfeng Grass.

Jiang Yue followed suit and signaled Xiaotian to look after his surroundings, while he took a hatchet and started picking Tianfeng grass.

With Xiaotian's protection, Jiang Yue's pressure is much less than others, and he doesn't have to worry about being ambushed by a goshawk or other hunters.
