Chapter 41, The Rotten Man Flower

In the space-time tunnel, everyone didn't dare to open their eyes, but they just felt a strong sense of weightlessness, and their bodies were falling rapidly. And the wind in their ears was so strong that it seemed to blow their hair off. Everyone was afraid to open their eyes, because even when they did, it was pitch black. Gradually, everyone felt confused, more and more groggy, even Xiao who never had to sleep, couldn't help but close his eyes...

When the six woke up one after another, they found themselves in a canyon, which was about 20 meters wide. The canyon is flanked by steep cliffs hundreds of meters high. On the cliffs, there are still some flowers and trees growing sporadically. The occasional wind in the canyon whistled strongly, like the howl of a ghost, or the mournful cry of a wild beast. Even if the sun is shining now, it is difficult for the sunlight to shine into this abyssal canyon, so although the canyon can see the surroundings clearly during the day, it is also very gloomy and gray.

Lin Luxian looked around and asked his companions, "We, where is this?"

Lan Bingyun also looked around, and then flew to the left to the cliff wall more than 100 meters high to watch. After a while, she flew down and said to everyone, "We are in a big canyon, this canyon is very long, with nine twists and eighteen bends, and there is no end in sight. Above the canyon are vast forests and mountains in the distance, but the air here is fresh, better than the air in the smoke rack!"

Xiao can also feel that the aura around here is also abundant, and this place is as if no one has ever set foot on it.

"Why didn't you see him?" Ao Yi asked

"Looks like he didn't come along, but that's okay. He can escape underground without worrying about him. Xiao said

"This canyon is connected on both sides, I don't know where it leads, which way should we go?" Zhu Xinyan asked

"We've been walking in the direction in front of us before, but we haven't seen anything good along the way! This time, we're going in the direction behind us, what do you think?" Dian Waterfall suggested

"It's a strange place, so it's a gamble of luck which way you go, anyway, I don't care, I don't have a problem with which way you go. Xiao leaned against the rock wall and said

In the end, everyone decided to turn around and walk in the direction behind them, and if they were lucky, they might be able to get out of the gloomy canyon as soon as possible.

After walking in the canyon for more than an hour, there were no creatures along the way, not even a single flying insect or ant, and even the cliffs on both sides of the cliff no longer appeared scattered plants. A faint green smoke slowly drifted from the front, and it smelled groggy.

Lan Bingyun felt that the smell was a little familiar, and she hurriedly reminded everyone, "Everyone step back a distance first, and I'll go to the front to investigate." After saying that, Lan Bingyun flew into the air and went to the front to investigate. In a few minutes, she flew back and said to everyone, "Oh no! there's a lot of rotten flowers growing in this canyon ahead!"

Lin Luxian had heard of the rotten flower more than once, and Lan Bingyun and Xiao had both mentioned it to him. Lin Luxian asked Lan Bingyun, "What kind of flower is this rotten flower, is there anything scary?"

Lan Bingyun said, "I also heard the clansmen say when I was a child that the flowers of the rotten man flower grow at the very top of its branches, and there is only one flower for a rotten man flower. Its flowers are large and purple, while its torso and branches are all gray. The rotten man flower grew very tall, enough to be as tall as a man. Their flowers can release a green poisonous mist that can cause a severe coma if inhaled into the nose by humans or animals! And it will be lethargic for at least twenty hours! But that's not the scariest thing about rotten flowers. “

Everyone listened with interest and stepped forward to surround Lan Bingyun. Lan Bingyun continued, "After the rotten man flower uses a poisonous mist to stun the people and animals around it, it will stick out of its roots, long, tentacle-like soft branches. These sticking out branches will drag unconscious people and animals to its root location. Then, the petals of the rotten flower will quickly secrete a lot of digestive juices, and these highly corrosive digestive juices will drop on the unconscious people and animals, and will melt all of them into a nutrient solution, not even the bones and hairs left! Finally, these nutrient solutions will flow into the soil at the root of the rotten flower, become the nutrients of the rotten flower, and be absorbed by the rotten flower. Because the green poisonous mist of the rotten flower can make people unconscious, some powerful people will extract poison from the rotten flower that can make people unconscious. ”

After Lan Bingyun finished speaking, everyone began to hesitate, if this rotten flower was really as terrible as described, then the road ahead would not work.

"Well, I, I think we'd better go back and go in the opposite direction... "Dianpu has already regretted taking this path.

"That's right, since it's so dangerous ahead, we can't send it to death. Ao Yi also said

Then, everyone started to return again, and after another hour or so, they were back to square one. After resting for a while, they could only choose to go in the other direction, and everyone prayed silently in their hearts that there would be no more rotten flowers ahead!

After walking forward for more than twenty minutes, a rancid smell began to emanate from the front, and many animal bones appeared on the ground. There are even a few human skeletons.

Xiao squatted in front of these skeletons and observed them for a while, and then said, "You see, the clothes they are wearing are ancient, and the clothes are not very shabby, it seems that these people should have died for no more than half a year." ”

Lin Luxian also squatted down, touched the linen clothes on one of the skeletons, and said hesitantly, "What... Ancient clothes, are these dead people ancient people? That is to say, we have traveled back to ancient times through a time and space tunnel? ”

"It's very likely! No wonder every grass and tree around here, even a stone has a lot of aura. It seems that we must have gone back hundreds of years. Xiao said

As soon as Xiao said this, the rest of the people were uncomfortable, if they really went back to hundreds of years ago, then their task of finding Yun Tianhyun should not be able to be completed! The important thing is, how should they go back? Everyone was at a loss for a while.

"If you really go back hundreds of years, wouldn't Yun Tianhyun still have a fight with the dark chaos?" Lan Bingyun asked

"Then are my father and queen mother still there?" Ao Yi asked everyone excitedly

Xiao said while thinking, "According to modern time, the demon clan attacked the Heavenly Realm more than seven hundred years ago, and the Lanhai Dragon Palace, which Ao Yi's father was in charge of, decayed one hundred and fifty years ago. And we don't know exactly how many hundred years ago, we don't know the exact time, if there are living people in front of us, we should be able to ask. However, I don't think there will be a living person in front of me. ”

"Anyway, we're going to try to get out of the canyon first, and then we're going to find a nearby village or city. Zhu Xinyan proposed

Then, the seven of them continued to walk forward for about ten minutes, and there were more and more corpses along the way, including humans, monkeys, cats, dogs, rabbits, and the remains of some unknown creatures.

"There's a noise ahead!" Xiao heard a small voice in front of him, chirping. He leaned down and put his ear close to the ground, then continued, "This voice is getting closer!

Lan Bingyun flew up to the front to investigate, and in less than three minutes, she quickly flew back, shouting in panic, "Everyone, run back!

Hearing Lan Bingyun's shout, everyone quickly turned around and ran back! A mile away from them, there were thousands of white rats, rushing towards them like a tide! Dian Waterfall said as he ran, "I didn't expect that there were hidden murderous intentions on both sides of this canyon! I knew that we should find a way to climb up from both sides of the cliff." ”

"Shut up, save some strength and escape!" Zhu Xinyan ran in front of the waterfall and glared at him and said

Lin Luxian and the others saw that the white rat behind them was getting closer and closer to them, and they had been running wildly for more than twenty minutes, except for Xiao and Lan Bingyun flying in the air, everyone else couldn't run.

"We must find a way to stop these white rats, or they will catch up and we will end up like the corpses along the way!" Xiao shouted

Lan Bingyun above found that there was a dead tree on the cliff wall in front of him, which was seven or eight meters high. She flew over and chopped the dead tree with all her might. A few swords went down, and the dead tree fell from the rock wall. Lan Bingyun shouted, "Sister Zhu, burn this tree quickly!" After hearing this, Zhu Xinyan used the flame shooting technique to burn the dead tree, and then used a long axe to push the burning dead tree to the left side, and the burning dead tree blocked the left side of the canyon. Zhu Xinzeyan uses pyrotechnics to guard the right side.

Seeing that the road ahead was blocked by flames, all the white rats stopped, and did not dare to move forward for a while.

"Sister Bingyun, let's look for it again, see if there are any dead trees that can be burned? I'll hold on to it first! But I won't last long, and this dead tree won't burn for long!" Zhu Xinyan shouted to Lan Bingyun

"I'll follow Lan Bingyun! you guys are guarding Zhu Xinyan here!" Dian Pu finished speaking, and threw the long axe in his hand aside.

"I'll go with you too!" Lin Luxian also followed the waterfall

Lan Bingyun was looking for dead trees on the rock wall in front of her, and Dianpu and Lin Luxian followed her, and when Lan Bingyun cut down the dead trees, they carried these dead trees below. And Ao Yi and Xiao stayed by Zhu Xinyan's side to protect her.

Just when Zhu Xinyan had been using the Pyrographic Technique for more than ten minutes in a row, his physical strength was almost exhausted. The support of Dianpu and Lin Luxian arrived. The waterfall was against three dead trees several meters long, and Lin Luxian also followed him with difficulty against a tree. The waterfall spread the trees sideways, completely blocking the road, and Zhu Xinyan used his last strength to set all these trees on fire with flameshooting. At this time, Zhu Xinyan could finally rest, her body swayed twice, dizzy. Dianpu put Zhu Xinyan on his shoulder with one hand, dragged the long axe with the other, and then began to run wildly towards the road behind him, and shouted, "Everyone run! These dead trees won't burn for long! When these trees are burned out, these rats will chase after them again!"

After running for more than ten minutes, everyone was exhausted. Seeing that the white rat did not chase after them, several people were temporarily relieved, and planned to rest in place for a while, otherwise, most of them would definitely die of rapid heartbeat.

"The rats aren't chasing them, are they? Looks like they're scared by the fire. Lin Luxian rested for a few minutes, and just after relieving himself, Lan Bingyun sounded an alarm in the air again, "Oh no!

Everyone had to run away again, a few minutes later. These white rats had already chased after them, and these people were also tired. Just as they were about to fight against these white rats, they found that these white rats stopped in front of them, and not only did they not dare to come forward, but they all retreated and ran, and there was not a single one left! It seems that these white rats are also very afraid of this rotten man.

"What should I do? On one side are rotten flowers, and on the other side are thousands of white rats. We can't just wait to die. Our bags of food and water were forgotten in the dungeon in the no-man's land... Lin Luxian said

"I'll try it, I heard the people of the tribe when I was a child, not far from the rotten flowers, there must be herbs or fruits that can relieve their poison. I can fly high in the air, bypass the rotten flowers below and the poisonous mist they emit, and then look for something to dispel the poisonous mist. Lan Bingyun said

"Then it's all up to you, Bingyun, you must be careful, if you encounter danger, fly back quickly, don't be reckless!

"Don't worry, I'll go back as soon as I go. Lan Bingyun took off after speaking.

Lan Bingyun was in the air, looking at the rotten flower below. These rotten flowers loom in bursts of green poisonous mist, which is quite eerie. And this section of the valley occupied by the rotten flower is also quite long, five or six miles away. After flying five or six miles, Lan Bingyun found a plant growing on the cliff wall, and the plant was full of fruits, and these fruits were purple and red, the size of kumquats. Lan Bingyun looked around again, there were no other animals and plants in the vicinity except for this plant! Lan Bingyun thought to himself, the plant that could grow near the rotten man flower was definitely not an ordinary plant, maybe this plant was the nemesis against the rotten man flower.

By the time Lan Bingyun bypassed the rotten flower and flew back, it had already taken almost twenty minutes. Seeing Lan Bingyun flying back safely, everyone's hearts relaxed. Lan Bingyun showed the plant in his hand to everyone, and saw dozens of fruits hanging on this plant. Lan Bingyun felt that after eating this fruit, he might not be affected by the poisonous mist of the rotten flower.

Lin Luxian picked a few fruits and handed them to Xiao, "Although you don't have to eat, there is no taste when you eat." But you are an entity, so in order not to be poisoned by this rotten man's flower, you can eat it. ”

After everyone ate the sour fruit, Dianpu took the lead and walked in the front, followed by the rest of the people, and everyone began to carefully move towards the territory of the rotten flower in front. The further you go, the thicker the green poisonous fog becomes. Everyone held hands and slowly advanced in the green poisonous mist. And in the poisonous fog, the visibility is less than four or five meters away, you can see the rotten flowers looming in the dense fog, these rotten flowers are constantly writhing and swaying in the dense fog, like a large group of dancing girls, the posture is extremely enchanting!

"Everyone should be careful, don't lose them, and don't touch these rotten flowers, if you touch them, they will stick out of the soil of the roots of the long, soft branches, if these branches are entwined and curled, we will be in trouble!" Lan Bingyun carefully reminded everyone.

After circling in the poisonous fog for more than an hour, the surrounding poisonous fog began to get lighter and lighter, and the visibility became farther and farther away. Seeing that there were only four rotten flowers in the vicinity, Dianpu walked up to one of them and cut it off with an axe. The severed rotten flower was still writhing in pain, and let out a piercing scream, as if it was a flesh-and-blood animal! After hearing the piercing screams of their companions, the other three rotten flowers around them hurriedly stretched out a few long branches from their roots, wanting to attack Lin Luxian and the others. But Lin Luxian and the others were not afraid of the large number of people at this time.

Dianpu looked at the branches that had climbed to his feet, raised his axe and slashed at the ground, splitting several branches together. Zhu Xinyan also burned the staff, burning the rotten flower whose branches had been cut off, and rolling the rotten flower into a ball and crackling. Ao Yi walked behind a rotten flower and cut it off with a sword. Xiao also pierced the last rotten flower with his spear.

Lan Bingyun said, "You see, if you touch or attack these rotten flowers in the thick poisonous fog just now, the consequences will be really unimaginable! In the thick poisonous fog, you can't see the branches of the rotten flowers sticking out of the roots!"

After a few minutes of walking forward, the poisonous fog was no longer visible in front of them, and visibility had returned to normal. It seems that several of them have left the territory of the rotten man.

"Bingyun, your judgment is correct, but thanks to the fruit you found, we will not be disturbed by the poisonous mist of the Rotten Man Flower. Without you in this canyon, we wouldn't be able to move an inch. Zhu Xinyan hurriedly thanked Lan Bingyun, and everyone else also praised Lan Bingyun.

"Don't say that, since we met in the Cracked Valley, we have had a lot of hardships along the way, and everyone has played a huge role, so to speak, none of the six of us can do it less!"
