Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan obtained the message left by Huang Jingming from the metal box. To his surprise, the metal box turned out to be the box containing Magnum. Unfortunately, Magnum had been buried by him.
In Langya Valley. On the other hand, due to the increasingly strange ghost noises, Ma Xiaoquan became worried. Ma Yun, Ma Yu and the others...
If you were walking aimlessly through the valley, you would definitely not be able to find Ma Yun and Ma Yu.
Ma Xiaoquan took a deep breath and looked down the valley a few more times to make sure no one was following him, then he quietly sat down cross-legged.
The first ghost scream came from one direction, and if you identify the several ghost screams carefully, it is absolutely possible to identify them.
After all, people are human, and no matter how well they learn, there will still be "cracked sounds".
Among the earliest ghost screams, there was an obvious "crack sound". Based on this sound, Ma Xiaoquan judged that Ma Yun and Ma Yu were normal at least at that time. But... in the subsequent ghost screams
, the pitch becomes higher and higher, more and more shrill, and the feeling becomes more and more pervasive.
"Hmm" Ma Xiaoquan rubbed his chin and thought to himself: The first sound came from the upper right corner of the valley. It seems that Ma Yun and Ma Yu may appear there.
Thinking of this, Ma Xiaoquan stood up again, twisted his waist, and ran towards his destination.
This time he ran, not as embarrassed and hasty as before. Ma Xiaoquan stretched out the index finger of his right hand, and when he concentrated a little, a thin flame immediately ignited on his index finger. The color of the flame was very light, and it was used to illuminate even though it was not
Very clear, but enough.
Looking in the direction of Ma Xiaoquan from the bottom of the valley, a dim and flickering "will-o'-the-wisp" flickered and moved, which was very strange.
Lu Xian raised his head and saw the star of "will-o'-the-wisp", and his heart suddenly tightened.
"What is that?" Mao Gang appeared in front of Lu Xian at some point, pointing at the bunch of "will-o'-wisps" and asked.
Lu Xian shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid something is really going to happen in Tianjue Valley today."
Mao Gang said disapprovingly: "That's a will-o'-the-wisp, huh? I've seen it before. Do you want to send someone up to have a look? Could it be that guy Ma Xiaoquan?"
Lu Xian shook his head and said, "You can go and do it!"
Mao Gang pouted, he didn't have the guts. After all, even if he was Ma Xiaoquan's former disciple, he was still a person of this era.
"Forget it" Mao Gang waved his hand and led Ding Yi and other men to the other side to dig for treasure.
Lu Xian raised his head again, looked at the faint will-o'-the-wisp on the waist of the valley, and frowned slightly.
...
With the help of weak firelight, Ma Xiaoquan discovered a very strange scene: Tianjue Valley is a tree valley with lush trees. In addition to the wide bottom of the valley, there are many trees on the valley waist and on the top of the valley.
Based on Ma Xiaoquan's past experience, there should be no roads in the middle and top of Tianjue Valley. Even if there are roads, they are irregular paths made by people. But what he sees now is indeed a fairly smooth road.
Winding path.
The firelight on his index finger was not bright, and it was not very useful for walking. However... because there were many people down the valley, Ma Xiaoquan did not think of increasing the intensity, otherwise,
It is easy to be discovered by people in the valley.
Ma Xiaoquan walked forward cautiously, pausing for one second every three steps. A long time ago, when Ma Xiaoquan was a special soldier, he had this habit. In this one second, Ma Xiaoquan can do many things, such as speeding up
Thinking, such as observing, listening with ears and smelling with nose.
After moving his ears, Ma Xiaoquan heard a strange sound. The sound was not far ahead, and as the sound came, there seemed to be a faint rancid smell.
Corpse poison. This was the first thing that came to Ma Xiaoquan's mind. However, since he was immune to all poisons, Ma Xiaoquan did not pay too much attention to the rancid smell. Of course, the closer you got, the stronger the smell. Although Ma Xiaoquan was immune
There was poisonous gas, but there was no way to be immune to the stench. In desperation, Ma Xiaoquan had no choice but to tear off a piece of cloth, soak it with his own urine, and put it in front of his nose.
Although urine has a smell, it is much better than the increasingly strong corpse odor. Moreover, it is said that urine can detoxify corpse poison. As the saying goes, fight poison with poison. Now that Ma Xiaoquan has used it, he feels that it does make sense.
The road became wider and wider as we walked, and Ma Xiaoquan became more and more nervous.
"Ma Xiaoquan, wait a moment..." Yuan suddenly said through his left eye.
Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment, stopped, and asked: "What's going on? What did you find?"
Yuandao: "I feel the breath of Ma Yun and Ma Yu."
Ma Xiaoquan was startled and quickly asked where it was. Yuan said, "It's not far ahead!"
Ma Xiaoquan took a deep breath, his eyes narrowed, and he walked forward slowly.
After walking another hundred steps, a steep cave suddenly appeared in front of Ma Xiaoquan. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see the cave at all. If it weren't for Yuan's prompt, Ma Xiaoquan wouldn't have seen it either.
"The two of them are inside!" Yuan confirmed.
Ma Xiaoquan nodded, instantly reduced his weight to the minimum, and then he leaned towards the cave step by step.
The entrance to the cave was covered with branches, leaves and weeds. Ma Xiaoquan did not dare to use flames to burn it for fear of being disturbed, so he could only pick up a broken thin wooden stick and gently poke it.
Fortunately, these branches and weeds were not very flexible, and with just a slight push, Ma Xiaoquan was able to make a small hole that could accommodate a person.
To be on the safe side, Ma Xiaoquan lit the green spirit fire in his hand. Then, he concentrated his energy again, and the green spirit fire in his hand immediately condensed into a green flame ball.
The green spirit fire's ability to shine is not very powerful, and Ma Xiquan is now in the deep forest at the waist of the valley. Now it is completely impossible to find him from the bottom of the valley.
Tian Jue Valley was low, Lu Xian frowned and murmured: "The will-o'-the-wisp that just flashed disappeared like this. Sure enough, it made me very... haha..."
It is easy to lose the target in the dark night. Although Lu Xian thought that his eyesight was good, the will-o'-the-wisp was really erratic. If it was lost, it was lost. Lu Xian was also very indifferent. At least, the will-o'-the-wisp did not go towards the bottom of the valley.
Come on, people of his era, even if they don't believe in gods or gods, still have some belief in ghosts.
...
Holding the Green Spirit Fireball in his hand, Ma Xiaoquan breathed a sigh of relief and slowly threw the Green Spirit Fireball along the entrance of the hole. Suddenly, the cave lit up.
Ma Xiaoquan followed the example of a gourd and condensed several green spirit fireballs in succession, and then threw them all into the hole one after another.
The first... the second... more than twenty were thrown in before Ma Xiaoquan stopped and rested.
This is not Ma Xiaoquan’s first time condensing fireballs, but condensing green spirit fireballs, not to mention Ma Xiaoquan, is Tomorrow’s Heart, which Ma Xiao has never seen before. Of course, in modern society, tomorrow’s heart with advanced equipment does not need to do this at all.
.
Ma Xiaoquan used a thin wooden stick to push back some of the weeds at the entrance of the cave, and then ducked into the cave.
As soon as he entered the cave, a strong putrid smell hit his face. Although Ma Xiaoquan's face was covered with a cloth soaked in his own urine, even so, the putrid smell could be smelled through the cloth.
"Uh" Ma Xiaoquan couldn't help but retched. He quickly calmed down and it took him a long time to regain his composure.
In his left eye, Yuan suddenly said: "Ma Xiaoquan, I've been here before, I've been here before..."
Ma Xiaoquan responded angrily: "Have you been here? Is it Huang Jingming?"
Yuandao: "Yes, Ma Xiaoquan, I remembered it. There are many, many treasures here. You are rich, you are really rich."
When Ma Xiaoquan heard this, he was shocked and said: "Treasure? Are you kidding me? Is there really a treasure here?"
Yuan said with certainty: "Yes, these treasures were collected by Huang Jingming!"
Ma Xiaoquan rolled his eyes and asked, "Why does Huang Jingming want these treasures?"
Yuan's tone dropped several tones and he said, "Do you know how Huang Jingming died?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "I died of your backlash!"
"Wrong, it should be said that it was history. He was struck back by history and died. Do you know why?"
Ma Xiaoquan said angrily: "He goes against history, right? You've already said this!"
Yuan Dao: "I haven't said the reason. It's very simple, because Huang Jingming is too self-sufficient. Everything is his fault. He not only went against the course of history, but also destroyed me...
..."
At this point, Yuan seemed very excited.
Ma Xiaoquan rarely felt Yuan so excited. You must know that Yuan is now resting in his left eye, and is gradually integrating with himself. Ma Xiaoquan is deeply touched by this process. Although Yuan is usually laughing and joking,
It was a fool's errand, but Ma Xiaoquan could feel that it was all Yuan pretending, and at this moment, Ma Xiaoquan actually felt Yuan's excitement.
Ma Xiaoquan guessed: "Is this why you are so eager to get the space soul fragment?"
Yuan hummed and said: "The soul of space and I are originally one body, but because we had differences when the accompanying father body was formed, otherwise, the old boy Mingfa would not be able to separate us. Mingfa originally
When that old boy forcibly separated us, he destroyed my structure and caused a small part of me to stick to the soul of space..."
Ma Xiaoquan interrupted: "Then why are there fragments of the Space Soul in the space-time mezzanine?"
Yuan chuckled: "Well, it's a long story. Well, Ma Xiaoquan, be careful..."
Before Yuan could finish his words, a pitch-black arrow had already pierced deeply into Ma Xiaoquan's chest.
