This black Nine Nether Grass grows in the cracks of rocks. It is more than 20 centimeters long. Its dark branches and leaves seem to be able to breathe, spewing out the surrounding deathly air.

Visible death energy surrounded the Nine Nether Grass, hiding his body in the black mist.

"This Jiuyou Grass is indeed magical."

After seeing the growth environment of the Jiuyou Grass, Ye Chen finally understood why Yu Shaorong and others were hunted down by the Undead Leader.

This Jiuyou Grass absorbs the dead energy around it and naturally gathers the dead energy together. Wherever the Jiuyou Grass is, the dead energy will be extremely dense.

The undead that were born in this ancient battlefield feed on the energy of death.

The thicker the deathly aura is, the more likely it is that the undead will appear.

Even Ye Chen wondered whether these undead spirits were also devouring the Nine Nether Grass.

"It really is the Nine Nether Grass. I'm really going to get rich this time."

Mu Ange looked at the Jiuyou grass in front of him, his face full of excitement.

"Senior Yu, how do we pick this Nine Nether Grass?"

Ye Chen looked at Yu Shaorong. This kind of precious spiritual herbs had special picking methods. If the picking method was wrong, it would destroy the medicinal properties of the spiritual herbs and might even affect the success rate of alchemy.

"The medicinal properties of the Nine Nether Grass are concentrated in its branches and leaves. On the contrary, its roots have absorbed too much dead air and contain extremely strong poison. The more dangerous the environment in which the Nine Nether Grass grows, the stronger the poison."

Yu Shaorong explained: "The death energy in this ancient battlefield is not pure, it also contains a trace of resentment that is difficult to detect. The Nine Nether Grass has been absorbing the death energy of this place for many years, and no one knows how much resentment it has absorbed. All this resentment is contained in the rhizomes of the Nine Nether Grass. When picking it, the rhizomes need to be cut off, leaving only the branches and leaves of the Nine Nether Grass. Otherwise, if the Nine Nether Grass leaves the earth, the toxins in the rhizomes will flow into the entire Nine Nether Grass along the branches. Once it is refined into a pill, the pill will also contain a highly toxic substance."

"So that's how it is. I didn't expect that this Jiuyou Grass has so many details."

Ye Chen's face showed a look of sudden enlightenment. He let out a light breath and looked at Jiuyou Grass with a serious look.

Who would have thought that there are so many things to pay attention to when picking the Nine Nether Grass? If you pick the whole plant without knowing, the poison in the roots of the Nine Nether Grass will easily be refined into the elixir.

Considering the resentment contained in this ancient battlefield, even a demigod might find it difficult to bear.

"Let me pick this Nine Nether Grass."

Qin Shuangxue took out a prepared jade box and walked forward to start picking the Jiuyou grass.

Ye Chen and others stood guard on the side to avoid being discovered by the surrounding undead locks.

Qin Shuangxue moved quickly. In less than a minute, she had picked all the Nine Nether Grass and put it into a specially made jade box.

"This is the second Nine Nether Grass we have found. A powerful person must have died here, otherwise there wouldn't be so many Nine Nether Grasses."

Yu Shaorong hesitated for a moment and looked at Ye Chen: "Ye Chen, should we go in? Although there are very likely to be more Nine Nether Grasses in the back, where so many Nine Nether Grasses gather, there will also be a large number of undead spirits, and among these undead spirits there must be a considerable number of undead leaders."

"We've come here. If you're afraid of danger, then why did you enter this ancient battlefield? The Nine Nether Grass is hard to find in the outside world. Since there's a lot of it here, wouldn't it be a pity if we missed it?"

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Senior Yu, do you think this makes sense?"

"But if we encounter too many undead, others may find it difficult to resist."

Yu Shaorong looked a little hesitant. After all, he and Ye Chen were both at the level of demigods. Even if they encountered a large number of undead, as long as they were not led by a group of undead, they would have no problem escaping unscathed.

However, Qin Shuangxue and Wu Hongzhuang have not yet entered the realm of demigod. Although their combat power is quite good among the top masters, the undead here are extremely special. It is not easy to kill these undead for those of the same realm.

Not to mention being beaten up by the other side.

"Aunt Yu, you don't have to worry about us. If there is any danger, we have the means to escape. Besides, Ye Chen is here. If there is any danger, just let Ye Chen take the lead."

Wu Hongzhuang glanced at Ye Chen, her lips slightly raised with a smile on her face.

"Wu Hongzhuang, you are using me as a shield." Ye Chen curled his lips.

"If the sky falls, naturally the tall ones will hold it up. If we don't make good use of a master like you here, wouldn't it be a waste of resources?"

A hint of mischief appeared on Wu Hongzhuang's face. After going through so many life and death tests, she gradually took off her usual disguise.

At this moment, Wu Hongzhuang no longer looked like the fairy she used to be, she was just a willful and lively beauty.

"That's right, Senior Yu, with Brother Ye here, these undead spirits are nothing. We have finally come here, it would be a pity if we just leave like this."

Mu Ange echoed, "We entered the dragon vein for the test of the dragon vein. We are not useless people who take the opportunity arranged by our elders. Life and death are determined by fate. If we really die here, it is because we are not strong enough. We cannot blame others."

"Okay, since you have decided this, I won't say anything more. But if you really encounter any danger, don't be stubborn, retreat first."

Seeing how excited everyone was, Yu Shaorong knew that she couldn't persuade them.

"Let's go. I can vaguely feel that there seems to be something ahead."

Ye Chen looked forward. Although there was a layer of fog blocking his view, he could vaguely feel that the deathly aura in front of him was extremely strong.

The group quickly continued to walk deeper into the cave. The closer they got to the core of the ancient battlefield, the thicker the deathly aura around them became. Everyone became more alert and vigilant of their surroundings.

In this state, the group did not encounter a single undead along the way, but instead picked a few plants of Nine Nether Grass.

Such a strange thing made everyone more vigilant.

They didn't think that they were too lucky and didn't encounter the Undead Squad along the way.

There must be a reason for all the weirdness along the way.

At this moment, Ye Chen paused slightly and looked forward with a serious face.

Seeing Ye Chen stopped, everyone also stopped in a hurry and looked at Ye Chen.

"Boss, is there anything unusual ahead?"

Officer Qin asked in a low voice, lowering his voice.

"There should be something strange ahead. I can sense an extremely strong aura of death ahead. This should be the strongest aura of death I have ever felt since I came to this ancient battlefield."

Ye Chen let out a light breath and pointed forward with a serious look on his face.
