Chapter 148: The Secret Realm of Heisha Valley (5)
"I found it, here" Mr. Qiu pointed at the map and shouted loudly: "It's right near the entrance of the 'Blackwater Swamp'."
Mr. Zhang said "Yeah" and muttered: "So close to the Blackwater Swamp, this location seems quite risky."
Bai Yiting nodded: "Yes, I know that place is close to the 'Blackwater Swamp' and I know that the closer you are to the 'Blackwater Swamp', the better things you can get. My cousin had this idea back then and took the risk to get closer."
"Blackwater Swamp" to get the rare medicine like 'Red Crane and Zhuguo'. So this time I decided to go to that place again. If you are afraid, you can withdraw now. I will not stop you."
Ding Jian and Ding Kang said in a firm tone: "Wealth can be found in danger! We are willing to follow Brother Bai to take risks there."
"If I can pick the 'Red Crane and Red Fruit', then of course I want to take a risk. The uncle who participated in the secret meeting also told me that in the 'Heisha Valley', the more dangerous the place, the better things can be obtained.
, I think this kind of risk is worth taking." Zhen Suishu looked at Lu Zhan and asked, "Brother Lu, what do you mean?"
Lu Zhan replied resolutely: "Then let me go and have a look." Lu Zhan was quite moved by what Bai Yiting said. He is now at the bottleneck period of the peak of Qi Condensation Realm. If he can get the three-pole elixir to improve
With his martial arts attainments, he certainly didn't want to miss this opportunity, even if it meant taking huge risks.
Zhao Sheng, Mr. Qiu and Mr. Zhang are the three with the lowest martial arts cultivation among the eight people in this group. Zhao Sheng and Mr. Qiu saw that the other five people were willing to take the risk, thinking that there is strength in numbers, if they really encounter danger.
, there were also people with higher martial arts skills to support him, so he also decided to take the risk together.
The remaining Mr. Zhang was still hesitant. He looked at the drawing again and again and asked Bai Yiting: "I see on this drawing, there are two places next to the 'Blackwater Swamp' marked with 'very dangerous' patterns. One is
The other place in the 'Fenglei Cave' is the 'Pansilin Forest.' I wonder what dangers there are in this 'Fenglei Cave'?"
Bai Yiting's eyes flickered twice and replied: "My cousin told me that there was a very powerful beast in the 'Fenglei Cave'. When he went near the 'Fenglei Cave', he tried his best to hide it.
The body odor and sound did not alarm the ferocious beasts in the 'Wind and Thunder Cave', so we safely arrived at the place where the 'Red Crane and Red Fruit' grows."
"That's right!" Mr. Zhang said with a happy face: "If we try to be careful when we arrive near the 'Fenglei Cave' and don't disturb the ferocious beasts in the cave, then the risk of our trip will be relatively small. Brother Bai,
Is that so?"
Bai Yiting and the Ding brothers both laughed in a friendly manner and said at the same time: "Of course."
"Okay, then I'll go." Mr. Zhang finally made up his mind.
Bai Yiting and the Ding brothers looked at each other and smiled, with a strange cold light flashing in their eyes.
Unfortunately, the other five people were immersed in the expectation of a good harvest, and no one noticed the real crisis hidden in this adventure.
Led by Bai Yiting, several people continued to advance towards the hinterland of the "Black Evil Valley". In the evening, they finally reached the outside of the "Black Water Swamp".
Eight people hunkered down and quietly walked to a small hill near the "Blackwater Swamp". They lay down on the ground and looked in the direction of the "Blackwater Swamp".
I saw a large swamp area in front of me, and the water in the swamp was actually pitch black. Looking from a distance, it seemed that there was a large black death zone in front of me, which made people feel horrified.
Wandering on the water
O's blue mist, the surroundings are peaceful and quiet, there is not even the sound of insects and birds, and there is no sense of any life at all.
In the center of the swamp, there is a lush green island. The island is surrounded by black water on three sides. Only in the north direction is a green grassy path connecting it to the land.
Bai Yiting and the Ding brothers half raised their heads and observed the surrounding terrain. Bai Yiting pointed to the only trail connecting the island to the land and whispered: "Have you seen that trail? That trail is connected to the land.
There is a dense forest there, which is the 'Pansi Forest'. Further out of the forest there is a small
There is a deep cave at the foot of the mountain, which is where the 'Fenglei Cave' is. There is a wetland next to the 'Fenglei Cave', and it was in that wetland that my cousin discovered the 'Red Crane and Zhuguo'. We
Touch it now, everyone, please try to be gentle, calm down, and don't make any noise."
With that, he took the lead and walked towards the path leading to the small island.
The other seven people followed him one after another, heading towards the north of the "Blackwater Swamp".
Lu Zhan was the last one to walk. It was getting dark now. As he walked, he looked up at the small island in the swamp. Suddenly, he found that in the center of the island, there was a ball of green light flickering.
There was a dim light, but the green light was blocked by the dense trees, so it was impossible to see what was hidden under the blue light.
Lu Zhan let out a soft "eh".
"What's wrong?" Zhen Suishu, who was walking in front of him, looked back at him and asked.
"Did you see the green light on that island?" Lu Zhan pointed at the island and said softly.
Zhen Suishu turned to look at the island and shook his head: "I didn't see any light."
"Weird." Lu Zhan murmured in a low voice: "Why do I see a group of cyan light flashing in the center of the island? Is it because my eyes are swollen?"
Zhen Suishu smiled: "It's probably sunset now, so what you see is the glow reflected at sunset."
Zhao Sheng, who was walking in front, heard the voices behind him. He turned around and made a "silence" gesture: "Shh, don't talk. We are almost at the 'Wind and Thunder Cave'."
Lu Zhan and Zhen Suishu both kept their mouths shut and followed the team silently.
Everyone marched in silence for a while and arrived at the north of the "Blackwater Swamp". They followed Bai Yiting and continued walking forward. Gradually, the road under their feet became narrower and narrower. The originally wide green grassland on both sides of the road was covered by black.
It was replaced by the dark water. At this moment, they were actually advancing towards the hinterland of the swamp.
Lu Zhan turned around and looked at the swamp next to him. He saw that the water in the swamp was as black as ink and faintly smelled of fish. The black liquid looked very thick, and there was a layer of water floating on the water.
O's green mist, and from time to time a series of bubbles appear on the water surface. No aquatic plants can be seen on the water surface, and even the soil around the swamp is pitch black, giving people the feeling that this place is a pool of stagnant water and a dead land.
You can't feel any life here.
At this time, a not-so-high mountain appeared in front of them. At the foot of the mountain, they could clearly see a dark cave. The path leading to the small island in the middle of the swamp wound right in front of the cave.
Walk through.
Zhen Suishu lowered his voice and said to Lu Zhan: "Be careful, we are already approaching the 'Fenglei Cave'."
"Well, I don't have to."
At this moment, Mr. Qiu who was walking in front suddenly let out an exclamation of "Ah", which frightened the Ding brothers who were walking at the front of the team and quickly ducked down. Ding Jian glared at Mr. Qiu behind him fiercely and said:
Scolding: "Are you dead or something? Why are you so surprised?"
"Look, what is that?" Mr. Qiu pointed to the roadside and said in surprise.
Everyone looked in the direction of his finger and saw an unusually tall ancient locust tree on the side of the road. The locust tree looked completely dead, with the entire tree trunk bare and without a single leaf. But just on this withered tree.
There are several orange vines hanging between the branches at the upper end of the tree.
There are still a few pale golden flowers growing on those orange-yellow vines, and the rhizomes of those vines actually extend from the middle of the trunk of the dead tree. On a dead tree, there are actually hanging
Such a beautiful plant looks particularly eye-catching.
Everyone ran to the dead tree and looked up at the orange vines hanging on the tree.
Zhen Suishu usually reads the most books and has the most extensive knowledge. He looked at the vines carefully and murmured: "Orange branches and vines, golden flowers, parasitic vines. Yes, this should be the rumor.
The ‘soul-eating vine’.”
"Ah? This is actually the 'Soul-Eating Vine'?" When Bai Yiting, Zhao Sheng and others heard this name, their originally surprised expressions turned solemn.
Lu Zhan knew the least about this knowledge and asked Zhen Suishu in confusion: "Is there anything strange about this 'soul-eating vine'?"
Zhen Suishu pointed to the big dead tree and said, "How old is this tree?"
Lu Zhan looked at the thick tree trunk and said, "It looks like it will be no less than one or two hundred years old."
"Yes, it will definitely not be less than two hundred years." Zhen Suishu said: "The soul-eating vine is a very rare parasitic plant. It will only parasitize on large trees that are hundreds of years old, and then rely on
It sucked the essence of the big tree to grow. When it grew up, the life essence of the big tree was also sucked up by it and died. "Soul-eating Vine"
'That's why it got its name. Legend has it that this 'Soul-Eating Vine' has a trace of the fairy spirit of the ancient sacred tree. Its branches and flowers are dried and ground into powder. It is perfect for making the legendary intermediate spells.
Raw materials, so this kind of thing is very popular in the market, and its value is even much higher than the raw materials used to make the three-pole elixir."
"Oh, it turned out to be the raw material for making spells." Lu Zhan remembered the "Arm of the Giant Spirit God" that he had come into contact with, and the "Ghost King Spiritual Power Talisman" he was carrying now. All of them were very magical.
The technique must be made from materials that possess extraordinary talents and magical powers. When I think about it, I feel that the "Soul-eating Vine" in front of me is particularly magical.
"Everyone," Mr. Zhang stretched out his hands to stop everyone, and said: "According to the rules we agreed on in advance to obtain items by number, now it is my turn to own this 'Soul-eating Vine.' So I should be the one to collect it."
it."
Zhen Suishu sighed and murmured: "It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity that it's not my turn."
Mr. Qiu next to him was dissatisfied and said: "Why should you own it alone? You see, there are clearly several branches and flowers. In my opinion, my number is just behind yours, so I should share it equally with you."
Mr. Zhang argued: "Although there are several branches and vines, it has only one rhizome, which means it can only be counted as one plant, so it can only be owned by one person."
"No, we can't count it according to the rhizome, we should count it according to the branches." Zhao Sheng stepped in and said, "There are a total of six branches hanging on this tree. I think the three of us each got two branches, and we are all happy."
"Fuck you." Mr. Zhang said angrily: "Each person gets two sticks. How many can we get if we go back and dry them in the sun and grind them into powder? No, we have to count them by rhizome."
