Chapter 204: Mysterious Spirit Grass
The white horse seemed to understand Ling Zikai's words, let go of the corners of the clothes he was holding, took a few steps back, raised his front hooves and slapped them on the ground a few times, with a little vigilance in his expression.
"You mean to say there's danger ahead?"
Ling Zikai somewhat understood what the white horse meant, so he stopped and used his consciousness to investigate again.
This time, he searched very carefully and found that in the middle of the waterfall, there was a rock that was sunken in, forming a platform of about one square meter.
The cascading water rushes right above the platform, and you can't spot it without going under the waterfall.
At the edge of the platform grows a plant that resembles an orchid, about thirty centimeters tall, with a few small fruits growing in the center.
The white spots that appear in my mind come from those fruits.
It's just that there is nothing else on the platform except the plant, could it be that the danger that the white horse reminds himself is from the plant itself?
This can't be a highly poisonous plant!
If that's the case, there's no use in picking it yourself!
Just when Ling Zikai was guessing in his heart, he seemed to feel that the platform moved.
The platform is connected to the cliff, how can a good end move? It can't be an earthquake!
Ling Zikai felt a little puzzled.
At that moment, the platform moved again, as if it was spinning.
Ling Zikai took a closer look and couldn't help but gasp.
Where is the platform moving, and there is a big snake entrenched on it. Because the color of the entire snake body is almost exactly the same as the surrounding rocks, it is difficult to notice if it hadn't moved its body just now.
The serpent's body was as thick as an arm, and it was the size of a millstone in a ball.
Geographically speaking, Xing'anling belongs to the cold zone, the climate is cold, and there should be no giant python to survive.
It's just that other snakes can't have such a big body.
Perhaps sensing Ling Zikai's consciousness, the big snake had already erected its head at this moment, sticking out its tongue, and was vigilantly staring at its surroundings, as long as there was any abnormal movement, it would attack at any time.
It is said that there will be fierce beasts guarding next to some spirit grasses, and this big snake is obviously also guarding the unknown plant.
It seemed that the spirit grass that grew fruit had been growing for several years, and it was certainly not an ordinary thing.
The white horse who used to live here obviously knew that there was a spirit grass growing here and a big snake, otherwise he would not have brought himself here, and at the same time reminded himself of the existence of danger.
Ling Zikai hesitated a little. Since he found the spirit grass, he must take it away, but how to deal with the big snake in front of him?
Ling Zikai thought for a while and decided to try the old method first to see if he could use his consciousness to control the big snake and drive it away.
Based on Ling Zikai's speculation, his ancestral god consciousness can even be controlled by large animals like the big bad wolf and the Siberian tiger, so it shouldn't be a problem to deal with the snake at the moment.
This time, however, he miscalculated.
When his consciousness enveloped the serpent's head, he couldn't even invade it.
After the big snake shook its head, it seemed to have found its target, began to swim up, and rushed towards the outside of the waterfall, and the speed was very fast, and in a blink of an eye, it came to the ground where Ling Zikai was.
Seeing that after straightening his body, the big snake that was nearly five meters long swam towards him, Ling Zikai was startled, and he was a little panicked in his heart.
To be honest, Ling Zikai had been full of terror about snakes since he was a child, and that ugly and sinister appearance made him shudder a little, and he would rather appear in front of him a fierce beast like a tiger or a wild wolf.
He wanted to turn around and run away, but he felt that it would be more difficult to get rid of the other party's attack. I had no choice but to bite the bullet, picked up a dead branch from the ground, injected the energy of the ancestral god, and pointed out the intimidating sound of "huh, huh" at the head held high, sticking out his tongue, and swinging his body from side to side, and the big snake that rushed quickly pumped over.
Originally, with the power of the ancestral god's energy, if it hit, even if the big snake was not beaten into two pieces, it would have to be seriously injured. It's just that the big snake kept swinging, and it was so erratic that it avoided the branches.
Ling Zikai hurriedly took a few steps back, and at the same time changed the direction of his walking, wanting to avoid the big snake's frontal attack and dodge behind it.
But the big snake's swimming body was very sensitive, and it pursued Ling Zikai tightly, and when it was still more than two meters away from Ling Zikai, its body suddenly flew up as fast as lightning.
Ling Zikai secretly screamed, "Not good!" wanted to dodge, but it was too late.
Seeing that the big snake was about to open its mouth to bite itself, the leaping snake body unexpectedly stopped, as if it was pulled by force, unable to move forward any further. Then the volley of the snake's head lost its power and fell heavily to the ground.
Ling Zikai felt a little strange, and in the blink of an eye, he found that it was the white horse that had suppressed the tail of the big snake with its hooves at some point, making it unable to swim forward.
The tail was suppressed, and the movement of the big snake's body was greatly restricted, so he couldn't care about continuing to attack Ling Zikai, turned the snake's head, and swam towards the white horse.
Ling Zikai was overjoyed when he saw this, and chased after him for a few steps, and the dead branch in his hand slammed at the three inches of the big snake.
The big snake only cared about rushing towards the white horse, and didn't care about his back at all, and after being hit by Ling Zikai three inches, he fell to the ground softly.
As the saying goes, it takes three inches to hit a snake.
Three inches is the lethal part of the snake.
As vertebrates, when the vertebrae are seriously injured, the spinal cord protected by the vertebrae will be severely damaged, and the nerve center and the rest of the body will be blocked. The closer the damage is to the head, the greater the impact.
After hitting three inches, the snake's head will not be able to lift up, and the head will pass out due to immediate ischemia.
But this coma is not very long, and it is possible to come back to life at any time and continue to attack.
Ling Zikai naturally wouldn't let the big snake have a chance to resurrect, and kept waving the dead branch in his hand to whip the big snake's body.
It was not until the skin of the great serpent was beaten that the flesh was opened, and it lay there without moving, and the dead could not die anymore, that it stopped.
After getting rid of the big snake, Ling Zikai let out a long breath and threw away the dead branch in his hand. Looking at the big snake paralyzed on the ground, there were still some lingering palpitations in my heart.
Thanks to the help of the white horse, he suppressed the snake's tail, and he was able to seize the opportunity to kill the big snake, otherwise it would be really tricky.
Ling Zikai just wanted to praise Bai Ma's performance, when he suddenly saw Bai Ma open his mouth and bite the snake's body, and then little by little the body that was more than five meters long was eaten into his mouth.
Oh my God, I'm not going to be dazzled, but when the horse has changed his appetite and become a carnivore!
Under Ling Zikai's stunned gaze, the white horse swallowed the big snake into his belly, seemed to feel that it tasted good, slapped his mouth a few times, and then looked at Ling Zikai with his eyes, as if to say:
This danger has been removed, why don't you do it!
Ling Zikai settled down, and then slowly walked down the waterfall.
The cliff behind the waterfall was very steep and shrouded in mist for many years, and it was covered with a layer of slippery material that could not be grasped by hand.
It took Ling Zikai a lot of effort to climb to the platform, and with one free hand, he grabbed the unknown plant and uprooted it.
On the way back, Ling Zikai saw that the cliff was too laborious to climb, so he simply jumped into the water, and then swam back to the shore.
After going ashore, Ling Zikai found that the white horse had left here and ran into the wild horse herd. I probably had my own friends and relatives there, and I took the opportunity to go back to visit my family.
Ling Zikai didn't care about it, took off the wet clothes on his body, wrung out the water, and put them back on.
Fortunately, the climate is not cold yet, and he is wearing wet clothes, although he is a little cold, but with Ling Zikai's strong body, he will not catch a cold.
After cleaning up, Ling Zikai began to look at the unknown plant that he had picked up.
The plant that looks like an orchid is still very different when you think about it. The most important thing is that I have never heard of beautiful orchid flowers, but I have never seen them produce red fruits that are a little bigger than cherries!
Ling Zikai couldn't even recognize what kind of plant this was, so naturally he wouldn't understand what specific effects it had.
And he counted the fruits, and there were nine.
It was probably because the essence of heaven and earth contained in the fruit was too little, and when Ling Zikai touched the fruit with his hand, the ancestral god consciousness in his body did not show fluctuations in excitement, and he seemed to be a little disdainful of that essence vitality.
Come to think of it, if this unknown plant had a large vitality essence, when he came here, without the guidance of the white horse, he would have been discovered by the ancestral god consciousness autonomously.
However, for Ling Zikai, being able to cultivate the essence of vitality is an extraordinary spiritual grass.
He didn't have that bit of vitality in his greed, and thought about taking it back for Lin Xing'an to recognize, if the value was high, he could cultivate and plant it in the forest farm.
Walking back along the lakeside, we came to the vicinity of the wild horses.
I saw the little white horse shuttling among the horses, looking particularly lively. It must have been away from his companions for so long, and there was a kind of excitement of returning to his hometown.
Ling Zikai didn't leave with the white horse immediately, and stood in the distance and waited quietly.
For the sake of its rare opportunity to go home, and to give it a gift to take out, let it have a good time!
It wasn't until the east turned white and the sky dawned that the little white horse was reluctant to leave the herd and ran to Ling Zikai.
Ling Zikai patted the little white horse's neck and injected a stream of ancestral energy into its body as a reward.
Waiting for Ling Zikai to ride on the horse, the little white horse took a few steps forward before stopping. Turning his head to look at the herd of horses in the distance, he hissed at them, and then without hesitation, he quickened his pace and left the small lake.
When we returned to the campsite, it was dawn.
The rest of the people had woken up and started to pack up their tents.
Seeing Ling Zikai coming back on a white horse soaking wet, he felt a little surprised.
He Ling sneered: "Some people, they ask others not to act alone, but they don't take responsibility for themselves, and they secretly run out in the middle of the night, and they don't know what to do!"
Ling Zikai laughed at himself: "I have a bad problem, I will have sleepwalking when I sleep at night. Last night the problem recurred, and I walked out of the tent in a daze. It's a pity that I walked out of the forest and accidentally fell into a river. If you had gotten into someone's tent, it would have been exciting!"
He Ling snorted and said, "From today onwards, you are not allowed to set up your tent with us, so that you are a pervert who takes advantage." ”
"Okay, as long as you are not frightened by the rats and poisonous snakes in the mountains, complain that everyone doesn't take care of you!"
While speaking, Ling Zikai walked up to Lin Xing'an, took out the unknown spirit grass, and asked, "Uncle Lin, this is what kind of plant I accidentally found in the forest just now, what kind of plant do you see?"
