The heavy rain in the wilderness lasted for three days before it cleared up, and the sun finally shone through the gaps in the tree crowns to the ground. The black dog shook its fur, spilled out strings of water droplets, and used its magic power to dry itself.
Feeling dry and comfortable, I couldn't help but stretch my forelimbs and let out a sigh of relief.
Mr. Changling frowned and said: "Let's go to a higher and open place, and don't easily enter the ravine area between the dense forests."
Once the warm sunshine shines on the humid jungle, a stream of unpleasant mist immediately rises from the rotten branches and leaves, mixed with various unknown floral fragrances. Its smell is indescribably weird, and it slowly sticks to the ground.
It rises, condenses in many places, and spreads more and more densely, with various colors.
This is the aura of miasma. Even the elders have difficulty distinguishing what is contained in these auras. All kinds of miasma can make people confused or even poisoned. Although a few people have cultivation, they may not be affected too much for a while.
It has an impact, but walking in this miasmatic fog for a long time is also very dangerous.
I didn’t expect that there would be so many miasmas in the dense forests of the Southern Wilderness after the heavy rain, and they would be so complicated. Most of them were in the form of gray-white clouds, but some miasmas were light cyan or even pink. According to Mr. Changling, the pink miasma was
The most bizarre peach blossom miasma in legend, it can make people fall into illusions, and it also contains chronic toxins.
If you accidentally break into it, you may not be able to distinguish the direction in the illusion, or even be so intoxicated that you may lose your footing and fall off the cliff or be poisoned and comatose and eventually die. Not to mention people, even the beasts in the mountains will be trapped in the miasma.
It is difficult to get out, and anyone who sees it from a distance will run away in fear. In places where miasma frequently appears, the bones of various animals can often be seen.
Huwa and others walked out of a dense forest and came to a mountain ridge with relatively sparse vegetation. They saw an animal corpse between two towering trees in front of them, half-hidden in the dead branches and leaves, revealing a white outline. No one recognized it.
What kind of beast was this? Panhu leaned over and sniffed it for a long time, then whined twice.
Huwa said: "Panhu said this is a demon bone. It was left behind by a strange beast who was successful in cultivation. I don't know why it died here."
Mr. Changling pointed to the front and said: "Look, there is a peach blossom miasma over there, and it is spreading this way."
There was no wind at the moment, but there was pink mist surging in the dense forest ahead, like a strange veil opening, spreading toward the high place where everyone was standing. Suddenly, another roar was heard, and a wild boar rushed out of the mist.
, stretched out his long fangs, and ran like crazy. He actually ran straight towards Mr. Elder.
The peach blossom miasma seemed to be able to block spiritual consciousness, and the ferocious wild boar was extremely fast. As soon as he noticed it, it had already rushed in front of him. Mr. Changling was also frightened, and did not take action against the wild boar, but just gave way.
Go over. The wild boar's eyes were red, as if it didn't see anyone in front of it, and it actually bumped into a big tree.
The big tree was as thick as several people could hug it. A pair of wild boar's tusks were inserted into the trunk of the tree, but the body was heavily bounced away. One of the tusks was broken, and it was obvious that the body was seriously injured, and the fat body rolled down the hillside.
Go down.
Mr. Changling said: "This wild boar accidentally entered the Peach Blossom Miasma. Although it rushed out, it was already poisoned and was unconscious... The bones of the monster we just saw may have also died from the Peach Blossom Miasma. It seems that this
There are frequent outbreaks of this kind of miasma in the area. Walking alone in the wilderness, if you are not familiar with the local conditions, it is indeed dangerous and unpredictable."
While talking, several people also speeded up their pace and rushed to higher ground. On the top of a hill, they watched the pink mist spread over the mountain ridge where they had just stopped, and then poured into the dense forest on the other side of the mountain ridge.
The dense forest was where they came from. If they had walked slower just now, they might have been surrounded by the peach blossom miasma in the dense forest right now.
Shaowu took a breath and said: "Meng Yingqiu has a secret treasure called Soul-Eating Smoke, which is made by extracting the miasma gas. Once it is shot out, it is not only poisonous but also delusional. It may not be of much use against experts.
, but when used on the battlefield with the help of wind, the lethality is extremely shocking."
Mr. Changling pondered: "This unique secret treasure refined by Meng Yingqiu has been obtained by the three kingdoms of Bashi, Zheng, and Xiangshi over the years, but the quantity is not large. It can not only be used in battle battles, but more importantly
It is used to defend the city. The battle formation can change its position according to orders, but the city will not move.
If a large army attacks the city, and the situation is critical and it is difficult to defend the city, soul-eating smoke is suddenly emitted from the city wall and breaks out in the enemy's siege formation. Ordinary soldiers will suffer heavy casualties. Ordinary city walls do not have such a thing, but
Important cities and capitals will definitely have secret treasures like these. If the Young Master leads a fortified battle in the future, he must take precautions."
Huwa nodded to the side, but did not speak. He had personally experienced the power of the soul-eating smoke. He was attacked by Gong Gonglang with it at the border of Xiangshi Kingdom. Of course Huwa was not harmed by it, but what if
If it were another person, it would probably be very troublesome to deal with it.
The young minister took the opportunity to ask Mr. Changling, an expert, how to prevent soul-eating smoke. Mr. Changling introduced several methods, but they were not foolproof and all had to pay a price. If this kind of thing appears on the battlefield, it will often
These are all sudden situations. At this time, it will test the general's command and the daily drill level of the military formation. Can they reduce the damage to the minimum in time?
Mr. Changling finally said: "The soul-eating smoke that our three countries have been gifted by Meng Yingqiu. How many countries currently have it and what kind of miasmatic gas is it made from? As long as you know these, you can make plans in advance.
Countermeasures. I can make a special antidote and let the sergeant carry it with him."
As Huwa saw in the Southern Wilderness, there are many kinds of miasma gases, and their toxicity is also different. Even Mr. Elder has to distinguish its toxicity in advance in order to eliminate it in a targeted way. Moreover, the solution he refined
It is impossible to provide an unlimited supply of medicine. First, you must roughly know how many of these items the other party has, and determine in what situations they may be used.
These situations are top secrets in various countries, but Meng Yingqiu knows it very well. If Shaowu can get Meng Yingqiu's support in the future, it will be his business how to find out.
The young man continued: "The place we are walking through has so much miasma. Is it the same in Mengying Qiu?"
Mr. Changling shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Meng Yingqiu is also one of the legendary Nine Qiu of Bayuan, a famous holy land for cultivation. How can there be miasma in the mountains? There is only a remote valley there, and miasma often appears in summer. It is suitable for
Refining soul-eating smoke. And in the Southern Wilderness, you can’t encounter so much miasma everywhere. It’s just that the route you chose, Young Master, happened to pass through this miasma-ridden area at this time of year.
."
Huwa also looked around and said: "The situation in this area is different from the wild wilderness I was familiar with. The mountains have great differences, the vegetation is lush, and it is extremely hot and humid in summer. Miasma is easy to occur in the valleys and dense forests. The route I considered before
I didn't expect this at the time, and it seems that I have to make a short detour from a high place. There must not be many places like this in the Southern Wilderness. I have never heard of any miasma appearing near the Snake Girl Village where Miss Qiluo is."
Changling explained: "Even the demon clan will suffer from miasma. Of course, they understand the environment in the wilderness better and will not choose a village in such a place."
Shao Wu said: "But I have also heard that there are some demon clans in the wilderness, living on the edge of miasma areas. They even know what kind of miasma there is where, when they will appear and when they will dissipate.
.Every time the miasma breaks out, it is an opportunity they are waiting for. Once the miasma dissipates, they can take the opportunity to hunt. For example, the wild boar we just saw, there is no need to hunt it hard, just take it away."
Mr. Changling frowned slightly and said: "Is there such a monster clan? Although the miasma outbreak will knock down many beasts, it is still very risky to take advantage of this. Not only do you need to be very familiar with the weather and terrain, but you also need to move quickly to turn over.
Walking over mountains and ravines is like walking on flat ground, which may be very difficult for the demon clan."
They discussed the soul-eating smoke and the miasma in the mountains. Following the general direction indicated by the young minister, Huwa continued to lead the way, avoiding terrain that might be filled with miasma, and walking in open and high places. Although this was a little bit
It's further away, but safer.
The mountains in this area vary greatly. The vegetation at the heights is different from that in the valleys. The low vegetation is not as lush. From time to time, thin bamboo springs can be seen in the mountains. There are thick spruce trees on all sides, with several people hugging them.
The moss is very thick. The air here is very fresh. As I walked, I heard the sound of birds singing from time to time in the mountains and forests.
Panhu, who was running in front of Huwa, suddenly pricked up his ears and stopped, subconsciously landing on all fours. Mr. Changling also raised his hands as a warning and said with his mind: "There is someone in front of me. I heard the voice. What's going on?"
Came from mid-air?"
But the young man looked happy and said: "It seems that we are going in the right direction. There are monster villages in front of us. They are feathered people with wings."
Mr. Changling wondered: "Did Young Master know that there are monster villages here? If we are on the road, it is better to avoid these monster villages as much as possible in the wilderness. They are often hostile to outsiders, although we and others
Don’t be afraid, but it’s best not to cause such trouble.”
But the young man shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I passed by here on purpose. When I decided to walk eastward from the disaster, I thought of this place to find an acquaintance."
Huwa suddenly realized: "Brother, are you here to see Fei Lang?"
The Shaowu smiled and nodded: "Yes, Fei Lang's hometown is nearby. Before he went down the mountain, he went to each large house of the handyman disciples to say hello and farewell, tell everyone where his hometown is, and welcome the senior brothers on Wufu Hill.
We will have the opportunity to visit in the future. If I had not seen the big map on the main peak and just listened to his introduction, I would not have been able to find this place, but now I happened to be on my way." (To be continued...)
