After this period of time, the cicada flowers will bloom, and the spiritual energy contained in the body will return to the world and become useless. Therefore, there are many people coming to Cangwu County now. Although it is not exaggerated to sweat like rain and rub shoulders and heels.
It's a big place, but it's also crowded.
Gong Liang walked on the street for a while, bought some delicious cakes, asked the locals about the location of picking cicada flowers, and then walked to the north gate of Cangwu County.
"Da da da da"
The inn where Gong Liang stayed was at the north gate. He was thinking about whether he should go back and explain to the innkeeper so that he would not be late when he returned. At this moment, a thunderous crash came from behind.
Turning around, he saw a man riding a scaled shark horse with a single horn running quickly from the south gate, not caring about the crowds in the city.
When pedestrians on the street saw the shark horse galloping towards them, they all ducked to both sides.
Suddenly, a girl emerged from the crowd on the left and ran to the right. At this moment, a shark horse came galloping towards her and was about to hit her.
"Nanny"
A scream came from the crowd on the right, and a woman ran out of the crowd and hugged the girl tightly. A maid on the left also squeezed out of the crowd and stood in front of the woman.
The shark horse was so fast that it rushed in front of the three of them in an instant, and they saw that tragedy was about to happen.
In the blink of an eye, Gongliang appeared in front of the three of them and pressed hard on Sameba's head with one hand. However, he underestimated Sameba's own strength and the inertial power of the galloping, and his body was almost knocked away. He quickly gathered his energy.
, he exhaled his true energy from his palm, and Sharma was forcefully pushed back a few steps.
"The Royal Horse Hall reports urgently, anyone who stands in the way will die."
When the man riding the shark horse saw that his mount was blocked, he shouted loudly, drew his long sword, and slashed forward.
The glow of the sword is like a wildly flowing river, and like a bright neon light, heading straight towards Gong Liang.
When Mi Gu saw that someone was about to kill Dad, he was not polite. He spat out a mouthful of water and hit the person in the face. Mi Gu's powerful saliva immediately corroded a small hole in his face, and the poisonous gas spread all over his body instantly. He fell to the ground and died.
.
Gongliang waved his hand and put the man and his mount away.
"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."
The woman who had escaped the disaster quickly stepped forward to express her gratitude, and the maid even knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
"It's just a small effort, not worth mentioning." Gongliang waved his hand.
Even though she said this, the woman still thanked her profusely. After thanking her, she reminded her in a low voice: "The person the young master killed was Yuma Tang. Yuma Tang will definitely not give up and ask his benefactor to come immediately."
Leave Cangwu County to avoid being poisoned by Yuma Tang."
It's the Yuma Hall again. I have quite a connection with this gang!
However, Gongliang didn't care at all. It was just a small local gang, so he didn't take it to heart yet. He nodded and said: "I will handle it at this time. You can leave first!"
"Thank you, sir." The woman thanked her again, then hurriedly left with her child in her arms.
Seeing that nothing happened, Gongliang left the place, returned to the inn, talked to the shopkeeper, and walked towards Tianqiong Mountain.
According to the shop owner, the best quality cicada flowers in Tianqiong Mountain are grown in a sea of bitter bamboo beside Tianqiong Mountain.
Bitter bamboo, Bitter Bamboo, as the name suggests, the bamboo is bitter. But strangely enough, the bamboo shoots produced by Bitter Bamboo are extremely sweet as long as they have not emerged from the ground, as if all the flavor of the Bitter Bamboo itself has been captured by the bamboo shoots.
Gong Liang took Mi Gu and Yuan Gun out of the north gate and went up along the path on the edge of Tianqiong Mountain. At this time, people were coming and going on the road, all of them were people digging cicada flowers. But many people were just digging below.
, I dare not go up there. Because there are hordes of venomous snakes and beasts in Tianqiong Mountain, if one of them is not good, the person will be dead before the cicada flowers are dug up.
Yuan Gungun was very lively and ran ahead, peeing and marking the roadside as he walked.
Migu sat on Dad's shoulder, flapping his wings from time to time and looking here and there, curious about everything.
I don’t know what’s good to see here. Haven’t you seen enough of all the weird flowers and plants in the wilderness?
The deeper you go into Tianqiong Mountain, the fewer people are digging cicada flowers. Sometimes you can hear the laughter of cicada flowers being dug not far away.
"Well"
Suddenly, Gongliang saw a white flower emerging from the fallen leaves under a towering old tree nearby. He quickly ran over and pushed aside the leaves, only to see a single horn like a corolla emerging from the soil. He pulled out a large dog-leg knife and dug it into the ground.
Wipe it and dig out all the cicada flowers and soil below. Remove the soil above, revealing the golden cicada flower with a dense aura on it. It looks like it should be a middle-grade cicada flower. It is said that the top-grade cicada flower is like gold.
Like silk jade, crystal clear, very rare.
Gongliang didn't expect to be so lucky. He dug up a medium-grade cicada flower on the roadside and received ten spiritual stones. This business was good.
A man who was digging cicada flowers passed by and saw that he had dug a medium-quality cicada flower on the roadside. His eyes were full of envy and jealousy.
"Daddy, what is this little bug?" Mi Gu asked, looking at the cicada flower in daddy's hand.
Yuan Gungun also came around curiously.
Gongliang explained: "This is a medium-grade cicada flower, and there is also a top-grade flower. It is very valuable and can be exchanged for many, many delicious things."
Migu's eyes suddenly widened when he heard that a small insect could be exchanged for many, many delicious things.
Yuan Gungun listened next to him, his eyes rolling, not knowing what he was thinking.
Gongliang kept the cicada flowers in a spiritual stone box. He looked around and found that there were no cicada flowers, so he continued walking forward.
In Tianqiong Mountain, there are towering ancient trees, and the forest is eerie. It has just rained recently, and the water has not dissipated in some low-lying areas in the forest, and sewage splashes when you step on it. After accidentally stepping on it a few times, Yuan Gungun's originally black and white body turned gray
Yo, so ugly.
After walking forward for a while, a bamboo forest appeared in front of us. At first, there were some ancient pines and cypresses mixed in the bamboo forest, but looking from a distance, the trees were completely gone, leaving only a vast green bamboo sea.
A gust of wind blew by, and the bamboo sea undulated with the wind, and the blue waves rolled, deep, shallow, bright, dark, and all kinds of green shadows, which made people dazzled.
When he arrived at the Bamboo Sea, Gongliang stopped moving forward. Because there were already many people in front of the Bamboo Sea, sitting, lying, or standing, all staring in the direction of the Bamboo Sea. He didn't know what the situation was, so he thought
Stay and find out.
Not far from him, a middle-aged man asked an old man of half a hundred years: "Old Qin, why don't you go in?"
"Why don't you go in yourself?" the half-hundred-year-old man said angrily.
"Don't I think you are following your lead, Brother Qin?" the middle-aged man said with a smile.
"Humph" the half-hundred-year-old man snorted and said nothing.
The middle-aged man felt bored and could only turn his head away.
A man dressed in green shirt looked in the direction of Bitter Bamboo Sea and said to a man in gray clothes next to him: "Brother Yu, let's go in!"
"Now is the time when the Hidden Winged Insects are active. Let's wait until dark before going in!" The man called Brother Yu hesitated.
"What can a few insects do to me? Don't worry, nothing will happen to you as long as I'm here." The man in blue shirt said arrogantly.
The man called Brother Yu thought for a while, and then walked into the forest with the man in green shirt.
Not long after the two entered the bamboo sea, they found several cicada flowers and cheered immediately. However, when the man in green shirt was digging for cicada flowers, he accidentally touched the bitter bamboo next to him. The cryptid insects resting on it were disturbed and started to go to them one after another.
Flying down. The man in green clothes snorted coldly, and a layer of aura was released from his body, covering him and the man named Brother Yu.
Gong Liang had been observing the situation outside, and found that each of the cryptopterous insects was as thick as a ring finger, eight centimeters long, and terrifyingly large.
The man in the green shirt released the air mask, thinking that the two of them were safe and sound, but suddenly he saw the cryptid insects spitting out a mouthful of turbid yellow liquid and sticking to the air mask.
The turbid yellow liquid seems to have the effect of corroding the true qi, and the qi mask becomes thinner little by little under the corrosion of the turbid yellow liquid.
The originally arrogant man in green shirt turned pale with fear and quickly shouted: "Brother Yu, leave quickly."
The two of them quickly headed out to the Bitter Bamboo Sea, with the Hidden Winged Insects chasing after them with their wings flapping.
As long as you get outside the Bamboo Bamboo Sea, the Hidden Winged Insects won't chase you.
They did not go deep into the forest, and soon reached the edge of the Bamboo Sea. They were about to escape danger. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the air mask on the man in green was corroded, and the two of them instantly lost everything to resist the hidden winged insects. They were chasing after them.
The cryptids that came flew down on them one by one and bit them hard.
In an instant, shrill screams echoed in Tianqiong Mountain.
The two of them kept rolling on the ground and screaming due to the attack of the Hidden Winged Insects, but within a moment, there was no sound.
The people who were standing outside the Bamboo Forest waiting to enter the bamboo forest after dark heard the screams of the two people, were so frightened that they trembled and quickly stepped back a little.
After a while, Gong Liang saw that the flesh of the two people was corroded bit by bit by the venom of the cryptid, and finally only a pile of gray-white skeletons were left lying in front of the Bamboo Sea.
For a moment, Gongliang was so scared that he swallowed his saliva.
This cryptid is too ferocious.
Originally, Gongliang had the idea of digging up some cicada flowers to earn some spiritual stones, but now that he saw how ferocious the Hidden Winged Insect was, he wanted to leave. He didn't lack these spiritual stone flowers, so it seemed that there was no need to take such a dangerous risk.
But I saw that ordinary people without any cultivation were still staying here, with no intention of leaving. My fear seemed unreasonable, so I wanted to stay and see the situation, and if that didn't work, I would leave.
Mi Gu's eyes lit up when he saw the Cryptoptera spitting, and he flew towards the Bamboo Bamboo Sea.
The speed was so fast that Gongliang didn't even have time to catch it. He became worried and wanted to go over and take a look.
Unexpectedly, the little guy flew back with a whoosh, but he had already caught a cryptid in his hand.
The hidden winged insect did not succumb to the little guy's power and kept struggling. Mi Gu punched it and made it dizzy.
This little kid likes to catch these weird things. Gongliang secretly complained and asked: "Mi Gu, why are you catching this thing?"
Migu said very seriously: "Daddy, Chongchong spits out water, and I also spit out water. I want to see whether it is more powerful when it vomits water, or whether it is more powerful when I vomit water."
How can this thing be compared? Gongliang felt that his whole body was not feeling well.
The Hidden Winged Insect soon woke up, and seeing that she could not break away from Mi Gu's clutches, she spat out a mouthful of turbid yellow liquid. Mi Gu dodged and then spat at the Hidden Winged Insect. The Hidden Winged Insect's body was immediately corroded by her poisonous saliva.
A small hole was made, and then he was poisoned and died.
"Daddy, daddy, I'm so awesome! I'm telling you, I'm so awesome, so awesome." Mi Gu happily held up the dead cryptid and shouted.
Gongliang rolled his eyes, is this a competition?
Although the Hidden Winged Insect died, Migu didn't give up. He cruelly broke the Hidden Winged Insect into two pieces, put it in his mouth and chewed it, his eyes suddenly brightened.
"Daddy, I want to eat bugs."
Gongliang's face suddenly dropped. This little guy likes to eat poisonous things, but this thing is hard to catch!
"Dad can't help you catch this thing. If you can catch it, dad will make delicious food for you."
"Yeah," Mi Gu nodded repeatedly after hearing this. She is so powerful, she will definitely be able to catch a lot of insects and let Daddy make delicious food for her.
The people nearby saw how ferocious Mi Gu was and quickly stayed away from them.
But when some people think of his identity as a desolate man, they don’t take it seriously. In the eyes of the Eastern natives, the desolate man is the representative of nouns such as wildness, rudeness, great strength, stupidity, etc. There are even private rumors that the desolate man likes to eat
People, so no matter what they do, it is normal in the eyes of the Eastern people.
