Chapter 908: First Entering the Valley of the Sinking Sand
According to the map provided by Gongye Qian for Hao Ren, Shensha Valley is about 3,000 miles away from the capital, and there are two cities in between—Black Rock City and White Sand City. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although Hao Ren wanted to get Lei Rong as soon as possible, he didn't rush day and night. Instead, he travels at night and wanders around the city during the day to experience the local atmosphere and taste the local snacks.
At night, Hao Ren flew extremely fast, and the journey of a thousand miles was only three or four hours. So he was not in a hurry, whenever there was a beautiful place, he would stop and take a look, and then find a place where no one was there to practice his sword skills.
The "Bladeless Knife Technique" is really exquisite, although Hao Ren does not have the "Bladeless Treasure Knife", he can still exert great power with the palm knife, and can even emit knife energy.
However, the fly in the ointment is that this knife technique is also very consuming of strength and true qi. Although Hao Ren's true qi can be supplied endlessly, his strength is relatively weak. Therefore, that day, he only used three moves in the imperial city hall, and he was powerless.
When he was in the miscellaneous space, Hao Ren took over the "Bladeless Treasure Knife" from Lei Zang's hand, and he was fine even making four moves. That's because the sword itself helped him.
It's like chopping wood. Where you have practiced "iron sand palm", it is not as easy as people to chop wood with a wood-breaking knife, and it is also easy to work.
In order to deal with the trap of Duanmu Zheng in the Sinking Sand Valley, Hao Ren began to consciously hone his palm skills. At the same time, he has to adapt to this space to the greatest extent possible, so that he can improve his ability to survive in the Valley of the Sinking Sand.
Hao Ren only flew 1,000 miles every night, and early on the morning of the third day, he came to the Valley of the Sinking Sand.
The Shensha Valley is surrounded by three mountains, East Mountain, West Mountain, and North Mountain, and although it is called "Valley", it should actually be regarded as a basin. Of course, this is what Hao Ren divides with the geographical knowledge of the earth, and there is no concept of "basin" in the Confucian space.
At this time, Hao Ren was standing between the east and west mountains, looking at the tall trees in the valley, and he could feel a yin wind blowing.
Hao Ren released his divine sense, probing the situation in the valley. I saw that the branches and treetops in front of me were full of poisonous snakes, large and small. Snakes are all cold-blooded animals, and they all stretched out their tongues to Hao Ren, but it was not a cold wind!
Hao Ren was not afraid of poisonous snakes, he laughed loudly and strode into the valley with his head held high. As soon as those poisonous snakes saw something strange coming in, they immediately snaked their bodies and besieged them.
Although he knew that the poisonous snake's teeth could not bite his skin, Hao Ren really didn't want to entangle with them. He scolded, then released his aura.
At this moment, there was a very subtle change suddenly within a few tens of meters around Hao Ren. Although the mountains, rocks, grass, and trees remain the same, the air seems to have become stagnant, and the temperature seems to have dropped. If there was someone standing beside Hao Ren, then he would definitely shudder involuntarily.
Snakes are more sensitive than humans when it comes to perceiving changes in their environment. Within a few tens of meters, all the snakes stopped at that moment, as if they had been immobilized by someone, and as if they had entered a state of hibernation in advance.
Hao Ren smiled slightly and strode past the group of snakes. At this point, the snakes seemed to have just been released from the immobilization method and began to move. However, their activities only avoided Hao Ren.
As Hao Ren walked, he carefully observed the surrounding terrain and environment, wanting to see if there were any signs of humans passing here, of course, the focus was on Duanmuzheng's traces.
Finally, Hao Ren found a small piece of paper in a patch of grass. His heart moved, since it was a piece of paper, it must have been lost by humans, and no matter how smart the beast was, it would not be able to make paper.
Hao Ren picked up the piece of paper and looked at it carefully, hoping to find clues in it.
The piece of paper, which was only slightly larger than a fingernail, appeared to be a remnant of a set of ignition, most likely using paper to start the fire. Hao Ren's eyes lit up: "There should be a fire burning in the last few days nearby!" ”
Hao Ren immediately expanded the search area, and even jumped into the air to look down. He soon found a fire a mile to the southeast where he had been a few days earlier.
The fire was blown by the wind, the rain, and the beast planing, but it was not too obvious, but Hao Ren still found it.
Around the fire, there were the bones of some small beasts, and someone must have hunted a small beast and roasted it here to eat. Who is this person, is it Duanmuzheng?
Hao Ren continued to walk along the fire. After walking for another half day, the trees in front of me became denser, and it was getting late, and the light in the trees was getting darker and darker.
"Hey, what's going on, it seems to be foggy!" Hao Ren thought again, "How can it be foggy at night?" ”
As soon as the fog entered his nose, Hao Ren knew that it was not fog at all, but a miasma common in subtropical forests. In some dense forests in the southern part of China, there are similar miasma. This gas is poisonous, and when a person inhales it in his stomach, he will be poisoned by it.
Ever since Hao Ren entered the innate realm, he was no longer afraid of this kind of gas. He only needs to hold his breath to easily resist the miasma. The poisonous mist in the Heavenly Hell Forest is a hundred times more poisonous than miasma, and it is even corrosive, he doesn't come and go freely!
Hao Ren continued to walk forward, and suddenly heard a "click" sound in the distance. He took a closer look, and it turned out to be a saber-toothed tiger rushing towards him.
The saber-toothed tiger is huge, don't look at it is four-legged on the ground, and it is three or four meters tall from the back to the ground, if it is measured from the tail to the end, I am afraid it will not be less than seven meters. Its two tusks protruded out of its lips, and it was as cold as a sword.
Because of its size, it will inevitably be hindered by large trees when it moves through the trees, but it does not go around at all and crashes directly into the trees. The "click" sound means that the tree has been knocked off.
On the side of the saber-toothed tiger, white gas came out of its mouth, which was the miasma that made the southerners of Huaxia talk about the tiger!
Only then did Hao Ren know that the saber-toothed tiger could also spit out miasma. It is no wonder that in the past few hundred years, there has been less miasma in the two regions of Huaxia and Guangzhou, and Yunnan and Guizhou, probably because the saber-toothed tiger has been extinct!
Hao Ren understands the fork at this point. The saber-toothed tiger on Earth has been extinct for thousands of years, while the miasma existed hundreds of years ago. This shows that the formation of miasma is not entirely due to the saber-toothed tiger.
The saber-toothed tiger's sense of smell was very sharp, and it had smelled from afar that there were humans entering its territory, so it followed Hao Ren's scent and chased after it. It hadn't eaten human flesh for a long time, and the corners of its mouth were already drooling.
"Whoa!" The saber-toothed tiger shook its body, knocked a small tree around it away, kicked its legs on all fours, and pounced on Hao Ren in the air.
"Hehe, you want to eat me, you're not qualified enough!" Seeing the saber-toothed tiger in the air, Hao Ren pushed out a Tai Chi ball with both hands. (To be continued.) )
