After I cultivated immortality, I discussed the theory of lifespan with a long-lived spirit.

Chapter 34 The Bear Goblin Guarding the Dragon Blood Ginseng

Lin Er was flattered by Flora's serious demeanor; he hadn't expected her to value him so much.

For a moment, he felt a pang of guilt; he shouldn't have kept what happened last night from Flora.

After careful consideration, Lin Er recounted how he lit a campfire, fed Flora medicine, and changed her clothes after she fainted the previous night.

After saying these things, he felt relieved, even though he thought Flora would be very angry.

When Lin Er looked closely at Flora, her expression was very indifferent, as if she didn't care about these things.

Flora said, "You did this to save me, why should I be angry? Besides, I already knew that."

Lin Er finally breathed a sigh of relief, finding his attempt to cover it up somewhat amusing.

He looked slightly surprised when Flora said she already knew.

Flora explained, "The way the clothes in my bag were folded was a bit odd, and I also noticed that my clothes were very dry. After thinking about it carefully, I figured out why."

So that's how it is. Flora is as meticulous as ever, which makes him seem a bit like he's deceiving himself.

Lin Er couldn't help but chuckle to himself, saying, "It seems I'll have to be more careful in the future."

Flora shook her head and said, "It's no use being meticulous."

Lin Er was puzzled and asked, "Why?"

Flora replied, "Because I woke up quite early last night."

Lin Er was startled, his heart racing instantly, just like when he encountered the Deer-Headed Demon last night. Even if it didn't reach that level, it was almost the same now.

He asked cautiously, "When did you wake up?"

Flora said calmly, "That's a girl's secret."

She was adamant and refused to reveal any information.

Lin Er was shocked and couldn't help but recall the scene from last night, but he couldn't think of anything unusual, so he had no idea when Flora woke up.

At this moment, Flora pointed ahead and said, "It seems we've found the White Feather Lark again."

Upon hearing this, Lin Er snapped out of his daze, picked up his sword, and walked over.

In the heart of this misty forest, the number of thorns has greatly decreased, and not all trees have grown very tall; many plots of land are covered with shrubs and shrubs.

Many large, dead trees lay fallen in the soil, covered with moss and weeds, and bearing many traces of animal activity.

Lin Er vaguely guessed why there were so many short, new trees here.

The destructive power of a single stag-headed demon is astonishing. Tall trees cannot stop its destruction. It is normal for the forest vegetation to be damaged because it has been active here for a long time. Moreover, there are other powerful monsters.

Lin Er climbed over several dead trees and finally arrived at the place where the White Feather Lark had discovered the magical plant.

He was about to go over when Flora stopped him.

All I could hear was the white lark chirping and chattering, but I couldn't make out what it was saying.

Flora said, "The little guy told me that there are powerful monsters guarding that place."

Lin Er then realized what was happening. He tiptoed and found a tree nearby, then jumped up onto it.

He stood on a tree branch and looked ahead. In the mist, he could vaguely see two huge humanoid creatures, but because they were too far away and the mist obscured them, he could not be sure what they were.

Lin Er immediately told Flora about his discovery, and she went up to take a look as well.

Flora said, "If I'm not mistaken, these two monsters are most likely goblins, and they're probably guarding the magical plant the little guy discovered."

The two crept up quietly, with Flora leading the way, and Lin Er went downwind and hid behind a bush about thirty meters away.

Lin Er looked closely and saw two huge creatures, each two meters tall, with yellowish-brown skin and a very fat appearance.

They are ugly, with green eyes, sharp teeth, and thick manes on their heads.

The two bear goblins, dressed in tattered rags and worn-out leather armor, sat around a campfire, roasting the carcass of an unknown animal.

Not far from them, there grew four bright red plants, the roots beneath their red leaves resembling crystals, which were very eye-catching.

You can see four red plants surrounded by small stones, the protection measures are very crude, and it is no surprise that they were done by these two bear goblins.

To avoid being discovered by the goblin bears, they quickly retreated to a safe position.

Flora said, "We're really lucky. Those four red-leaf plants were Dragon Blood Ginseng, but they don't seem to be fully mature yet."

Lin Er was overjoyed and extremely excited, saying, "This Dragon Blood Ginseng is so bright red and translucent, could it really contain dragon blood?"

Flora replied, "I'm not quite sure either. Legend has it that Dragon Blood Ginseng grows from the blood of dragons during battles. Those two bear goblins must want to consume Dragon Blood Ginseng, which is why they're guarding this place."

Regardless, Lin Er will definitely take these four Dragon Blood Ginseng to refine pills.

Those two goblin bears looked very strong, so it probably won't be that easy to take them down.

At this moment, the white lark called out again.

Flora said, "It said there are four magical plants there, so we have to give it four seeds as a reward."

Now, Flora has only two seeds left in her seed bag.

Lin Er didn't want to cooperate only once, so he said, "Logically speaking, we should get four, but there are powerful bear goblins there, so we can't get them at all."

We only have two seeds left. Why don't we send it to fetch two seedlings? That would be fair to everyone.

Flora immediately relayed Lin Er's words to the white lark, which glanced at the two large creatures in the mist and then instantly shrank back.

In the end, the White Lark only took the last two seeds, but how to obtain the four magical plants was none of its business.

Seeing this, Lin Er didn't say anything more. After reaching a final cooperation agreement with White Feather Lark, he renegotiated with Flora.

Flora said, "These two bear goblins have yellowish-brown skin and look very spirited. They must have absorbed a lot of earth element and have already reached the second tier."

Lin Er frowned. Although he had broken through to the second level of Qi Refining, the power of his flying sword technique had not undergone a qualitative change.

He was a little worried that he would encounter the same situation as last night again. His flying sword couldn't cut down the bear goblin, since the opponent was also an earth elementalist. If it summoned a layer of earth armor, things would be hard to say.

At this point, a system prompt pops up.

[You and the sorceress encountered a powerful evil spirit guarding a treasure. Facing this formidable foe, you carefully discussed and gathered intelligence.]

[You quickly obtained intelligence: the Great Evil Spirit is clumsy and its weakness lies in its eyes.]

Is the bear goblin's weakness its eyes?

Lin Er said, "I've got an idea. How about we attack their eyes? Even if we fail, with our speed, they won't be able to catch up."

Flora nodded and replied, "That is indeed a good method. Have you dealt with goblins before?"

Lin Er said, "No."

Flora couldn't help but say, "Then your observation is very keen."

Suddenly, Lin Er remembered something, took out the Qingxin Bamboo Sword, and said:

"Your sword is broken. I don't need it for the time being, so I'll give it to you."

Lin Er had tried before, but his cultivation level was insufficient, and he was no longer able to control two flying swords.

This bamboo sword isn't needed anytime soon, and it's just gathering dust here, so I might as well give it to Flora.

Flora took the sword, gently stroking the blade, and exclaimed in surprise, "This is actually a bamboo sword?"

Lin Er said, "Haven't you noticed?"

Flora shook her head. Who would have thought that bamboo could be so sharp and tough? She added, "Thank you. I really like this bamboo sword."

Lin Er waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, didn't you also give me a good sword?"

Leaving aside matters of social etiquette, after the two had discussed their plan, they quietly crept to the vicinity of the bear goblin.

Before they noticed, Lin Er quickly summoned his flying sword and shot it straight at the eye of a bear goblin.

At the same time, Flora drew her bowstring, and as the bow trembled, an arrow shot out with a whirlwind, like the cry of a bluebird.

The two launched their attacks simultaneously, both targeting the same goblin bear.
