Volume 1 Southern Regions Chapter 64 Hot Spring Valley
The next day, Bai Ze got up early in the morning, cleaned up, got out of the cave, and went down the mountain directly. It was difficult to go up the mountain and easy to go down, and Bai Ze only took two hours to run down from the main peak.
Bai Ze even coaxed and deceived the nine-colored spirit deer out of the seal of the Bladeless Sword, otherwise it would be almost impossible for him to reach the valley infested by the big snake last night without three days of thirty miles of mountain road.
With the strength of the nine-colored deer's feet, at noon, Bai Ze had already touched the vicinity of the canyon. But the nine-colored deer said that he would not go any further, and kept tweeting, just saying that the spiritual pressure here was too great, making it breathless.
Bai Ze's heart was more vigilant, but unlike the nine-colored deer, he didn't feel the so-called spiritual pressure, but the nearby mountains and forests were too quiet, giving him an inexplicable pressure.
"I'm sorry for you, Brother Deer. Bai Ze sealed the nine-colored deer into the broken sword, and trekked alone to the canyon.
The Winter Giant has crossed the Great Wall in the Northern Regions of the Yan Kingdom, and the weather is getting colder and colder. But the closer I got to the canyon, the cold gradually disappeared, and the air became strangely warmer.
"Is there a vision of heaven and earth?" Bai Zexin said, and when he walked to the edge of the canyon, he finally understood the reason.
The canyon in front of me is like a huge sinkhole, which stretches for nearly a hundred miles, and the pit is full of clouds and mist, and it smells of sulfur.
"Hot Spring Valley?" Bai Ze understood, at a glance, the grass and trees were sparse, and all the ones that might grow in this treacherous environment maintained their verdant and rich vitality.
Bai Ze remembered what the sword spirit said to him last night, the Mochizuki Snake was definitely dead, and only the wreckage was left in the valley. Bai Ze believed it in his heart, but he was afraid of everything, if the big snake didn't die, Bai Ze would enter the valley and die a hundred times would not be enough for the big snake to see.
The white mist was steaming, and Bai Ze looked at it with his eyes and observed it carefully. This look really made him see the huge remnants of the snake.
As the sword spirit said, the big snake really only had bones and scales left, and I saw that in the hot spring valley, the remains of the huge snake almost grew with the mountain, and if I didn't look at it seriously, it seemed that it was a craggy strange rock.
Bai Ze breathed a sigh of relief, since the big snake was really dead, then he didn't have any worries, found a place that was not too steep, and went straight down the valley.
The further down you go, the weaker the smell of sulfur becomes. Bai Ze was surprised in his heart, when he reached the bottom of the canyon, the temperature here was already like a warm spring, and the hot spring air blocked the cold winter air above the canyon.
"This big snake, the size is too terrifying, right?" Bai Ze touched a bone of the remains of the big snake beside him, the bone was nearly ten zhang long, Bai Ze pressed hard, the bone that had been decayed and blackened by the years was not broken, and it still remained unyieldingly hard.
The canyon is dotted with a large number of hot springs, the largest of which is simply a small lake, and the hot spring water is vast and misty.
"This great serpent has been dead for thousands of years, and the remains are still so hard. Bai Ze imagined what this canyon should be like when the big snake was not dead, and couldn't help but sigh: "The body of the demon beast is really strong. Even if it is a true person of the Daomen, thousands of years after death, the dust will return to dust. Buddhist monks only burned a few relics. The racial gap, the physical advantage, the human race is still too weak after all. ”
Bai Ze planned to walk around the remains of the great snake.
Such anti-heavenly creatures are also overlords when they are alive. In this case, if you can find some treasures in the remains of this big snake, then it is definitely not ordinary.
But to Bai Ze's disappointment, he walked from the snake's tail to the snake's head, and he didn't find a single treasure. There are only the remains of a big snake in the hot spring valley, but it is useless for Bai Ze to ask for that thing, the bones are hard, but they are similar to rocks, and they can be broken with a sword.
As for the snake scales, they are all rotten in the dirt, is it possible that they can still be picked up and go back to someone to fight a pair of battle armor? Wearing snake scales, Bai Ze's scalp is numb just thinking about it.
Bai Ze looked at the huge snake head like a hill in front of him, and went in to see if there was anything valuable that could be pried away and sold.
This big snake looked at the moon last night, and gave him a huge coercion thirty miles away, and it was really unreasonable to have no treasure in his body. Bai Ze got into the head of the snake, first touched the big snake's mouth full of snake teeth, and couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and said: "This snake is very good, just a mouth full of fangs has thrown off hundreds of streets of ordinary big snakes." ”
But when I touched it, I was stunned that there was not a snake tooth that looked like it could be sold for money. Bai Ze was frustrated, and he didn't give up and got into the head of the big snake, but this drill really made him drill something.
In the huge cavity of the snake's skull, an unknown skeleton erected a huge scaffold, and at the top of the scaffold was a palm-sized green pebble.
"Could it be that this is the Xuan Snake Soul Stone?" Bai Ze was overjoyed, the demon beast cultivation had reached a certain level, and it could condense the soul stone in its body.
This kind of soul stone, to put it bluntly, is made by gathering the power of the soul, and human monks also have it. Bai Ze hurriedly ran over and pulled off the clear green pebbles and stuffed them into his arms. The heart said that after all, he didn't run in vain, and he could get a soul stone, whether he used it himself or sold it at the Chamber of Commerce, it was a profitable deal.
To know the micro-realm, you need to open the door of the divine sense, and if you want to step on the supreme with one foot in the micro-knowledge, the cultivation of the soul is a must. Wouldn't it be wonderful to take this soul stone to refine and absorb it when the time comes?
Bai Ze felt that he was satisfied, and drilled out the head of the big snake. He looked at the hot springs that filled the valley and couldn't help but be moved. After many days in the mountains, I was tired and running continuously, and I didn't have time to clean up my body. Now that it's warm all around, and there are hot springs, how can you not take a bath?
Bai Ze said that he would do it, ran to a hot spring, took off his clothes, jumped in and washed it.
The hot spring water is at a moderate temperature and is scalded just right. Bai Ze soaked in it, washed away the tiredness of the past few days, and leaned against the rocks on the edge of the hot spring, breathing a long sigh of relief.
Relaxed, Bai Ze suddenly faintly smelled a faint fragrance in the air. Bai Ze felt strange in his heart, the fragrance was a little weird, but it didn't smell like it had a psychedelic effect.
"What is it?" Bai Ze stood up from the hot spring, his true qi was lucky, he dried up the water, put on a coarse cloth wide coat, tied his sleeves, tied his hair, put on a black robe, wore a double sword, and walked to the depths of the thick fog in the hot spring valley with a faint aroma.
The deep valley is extremely humid, and the moisture in the air is frighteningly high. Bai Ze had only walked for a while, and a thin layer of mist had already condensed on his sword eyebrows.
There are hot springs everywhere, and Shirasawa inevitably wades through the water from time to time. After searching for half an hour, Bai Ze finally saw the source of the inexplicable aroma. Not far away, on Tingzhou, the largest hot spring in the canyon, a small tree with a strange appearance grows, and a green fruit faintly grows on the tree.
"The visions of heaven and earth, most of them have elixirs. Bai Ze was overjoyed when he saw it, "This canyon is the place where the bones of the Xuan Snake were buried in the past, and I think this elixir was guarded by the Xuan Snake earlier?"
Bai Ze looked at the color of the elixir, and the spiritual sense sensed the medicinal strength emitted by the elixir, and the light in his eyes was even better. Although he is not an alchemist or alchemist, he can still do it by simply judging the medicinal grade of this elixir.
The elixir that grew on the hot spring lake Tingzhou in front of him was also the second-class elixir in the four divisions of the Divine Treasure Spirit before, the treasure medicine!
"Wonderful, wonderful!" Bai Ze jumped into the hot spring lake and went directly to the lake in Nating Prefecture. The area of Nating Prefecture is not large, and it is only a hundred feet in circumference. Bai Ze's swimming ability was passed on by Xie Xuanzhen, and he went to Tingzhou in one breath and climbed up.
The strange rocks in Tingzhou were craggy, Bai Ze was soaked, and when he walked to the strange little tree, he saw the various appearances of the elixir.
"It's a really interesting fruit. Bai Ze looked at the aura fruit on the tree, the color of the fruit was no different from the pebble that Bai Ze pulled out of the head of the snake, but the appearance of the fruit was strange, like a small snake.
Bai Ze didn't have much research on elixir, and in the years he traveled with Xie Xuan, the strange old man never mentioned that he knew how to do alchemy.
The snake fruit was born strangely, but it did not have the aura of evil. Bai Ze is not afraid that this fruit is poisonous, no matter how to put it away first, it is a big deal to go out of Dushan to the Chamber of Commerce to identify it, and then deal with it.
"Huh?" Bai Ze was just about to take the medicine, when he suddenly felt the pebbles in his chest move. He was shocked, took out the pebble, didn't know if he didn't know when he looked at it, he was startled, which was the pebble, it was clearly a snake egg!
Bai Ze screamed, almost throwing the snake egg out directly. I saw that when the clear green snake egg was close to the snake fruit, the surface suddenly became translucent, and Bai Ze could clearly see through the translucent egg shell that there was a small snake swimming happily in the snake egg!
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!" Bai Ze's face turned white, this is still it! There is a snake in his arms, which suddenly hatches one day and bites him, if the snake's teeth are poisonous, don't bite him to death directly!
The little snake in the egg swam happily, shaking its head and tail in the direction of the snake fruit, obviously very happy with the fruit.
Bai Ze subconsciously pinched the snake egg, it was very hard and couldn't move. Bai Ze relaxed slightly, which showed that the little snake in this egg still couldn't come out for the time being.
He reached out and picked the snake fruit, put it away with the jade box in the chess piece, and then sealed it into the chess piece on his wrist with the snake egg.
Bai Ze didn't want the little snake in this snake egg to suddenly hatch and bite him to death in one bite. After doing this, he was pondering whether to dig up the small tree on this Tingzhou to see if there was any fruit under the roots of this tree, when he suddenly heard a loud sound of breaking water from the nearby hot spring water.
The huge shadow swam in the water, and the speed was very fast, and it came straight to Tingzhou.
The bladeless sword vibrated violently, emitting a vigilant sword roar. Bai Ze didn't even think about it, he was lucky with mountains and rivers, one step and six feet away, and his true qi was violently raised, and he planned to tread water and rush through the hot spring lake and go ashore directly.
But it's too late.
When Bai Ze stepped on the water, the monster had already rushed out of the water. Bai Ze subconsciously turned around, only to see a shadow at least ten zhang high rushing into the dense fog, and the hot spring water next to Tingzhou exploded into the sky with a terrifying momentum.
"Bang !——"
Bai Ze held his breath, only to feel that the cold murderous machine enveloped him. The next moment, I heard the monster's long hiss, and the sound was so strange that it made my scalp tingle.
The sound of the snake spitting letters!
