Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Man-Eating Flower

The map given by Huo Yunxi before was very simple, only marking that the next six mountains would be passed, as for the specific topography and the distribution of the mountains, there was no mention of it, fortunately, Qin Niang and his wife were quite familiar with this area, but they had only been to four mountains, so they relied on their memory to mark the specific conditions of the first four mountains clearly and in detail and handed them to Xiao Mingyan.

After Gu Chuhuan and Xiao Mingyan fed Fu Zhi and Yunlai, they instructed Qin Niang some details on taking care of the horses, and then got up and set off for the back mountain.

The back mountain is called Chufeng, the mountain is not high, but the woods are dense, and it is difficult to find the winding path without going forward.

Xu is in the capital for a long time, and on the way to get tired of running, from the future to enjoy the scenery on the side of the road, the first time to climb this mountain, looking at the dense forests and bamboo and unknown wildflowers next to it, breathing the fresh air in the forest, Gu Chuhuan felt elegant and quiet, the whole body was quite relaxed, and the footsteps were also cheerful.

Xiao Mingyan, who was leading the way in front, also seemed to be in a good mood, and the two forgot about yesterday's unhappiness for the time being, and walked up with a smile.

Xu is that this first peak is really not steep, or maybe it is the reason why Gu Chuhuan is in a good mood, and it only took less than half an hour for the two of them to climb to the top of the mountain.

At the top of the mountain, Gu Chuhuan looked to the left front, and another mountain appeared in front of him: the body of this mountain was larger than the first peak, the woods were not as dense as the first peak, and a winding sheep intestine path was faintly visible leading from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain.

The two rested for a short time on the rocks at the top of the mountain, and Xiao Mingyan asked, "How does Miss Gu feel about her physical strength?" ”

"Your Highness, please rest assured, I'm fine, this is only the smallest mountain, if you can't even endure this bit of suffering, then you don't have to turn over the next few mountains."

Xiao Mingyan nodded, took out the terrain map from his arms and looked at it carefully for a moment, and said: "The mountain in front is called Ling Feng, it is not special from the marking, but there is a boulder at the top of the mountain, if we want to reach the Medicine King Valley, this boulder cannot be bypassed, we need to climb over it." ”

Gu Chuhuan got up and walked forward: "Without further ado, let's continue!" ”

About an hour or so, the two of them arrived at the top of Lingfeng Mountain.

Gu Chuhuan's breathing at this time was a little uneven, panting slightly, but his eyes were firmly fixed on the giant mountain rock in front of him.

This rock is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, trapezoidal, about one zhang high. Since it was at the peak, there was no way to bypass this mountain rock to reach the opposite side, Gu Chuhuan and Xiao Mingyan looked carefully left and right, and there was indeed no other way but to climb over.

Xiao Mingyan took out a finger-thick hemp rope from his backpack and held it in his hand, then got up and jumped, his toes quickly pointed on the folds of the mountain stone, his leg was gently forced, and the other foot was facing up to find the foothold.

Gu Chuhuan was amazed that his body was as light as a swallow, and of course he also knew that Xiao Mingyan had used light skills.

"Miss Gu, hold on to the rope!"

Xiao Mingyan brought the hemp rope in his hand to Gu Chuhuan, Gu Chuhuan grabbed it steadily, took a long breath, and then wrapped it around his waist and tied a knot.

Xiao Mingyan didn't seem to have much effort to pull Gu Chuhuan up.

The flat place above the boulder is extremely small, and it can only accommodate two slender people standing at the same time, Xiao Mingyan carefully pulled Gu Chuhuan to his side, and supported her outside shoulder with one arm, for fear that she would fall down if she was not careful.

Gu Chuhuan was a little nervous, calmed his breathing hard, and then looked ahead.

"This mountain..... Beautiful......."

If Gu Chuhuan still had some pleasure in climbing to the top of Lingfeng and nervousness to stand on the top of a narrow mountain in her heart at the last moment, then after she saw the mountain in front of her, all that was left in her heart was amazement and admiration.

The beautiful and winding mountains are winding and circling, the white clouds are filled, the clouds and mist are shrouded, and the top of the mountain pokes out from the clouds, like a hibiscus out of the water, quiet and beautiful.

What's more, unlike the others, this mountain is almost entirely covered in bright and beautiful flowers, with only a few tall trees visible here and there.

After living for two lifetimes, Gu Chuhuan still couldn't escape the nature of loving flowers, and almost forgot that he was on the top of the rock at the moment, and he was about to run towards the mountain in front of him when he raised his feet.

"Whoa...."

Gu Chuhuan's feet fell into the air, and even the gravel next to his feet fell down, and before he could say anything in surprise, he was dragged back.

"Miss Gu, it's better to be careful on the top of the mountain."

Gu Chuhuan blushed a little, and was a little puzzled: It's just some beautiful flowers, how can you mess up even an inch?

Xiao Mingyan sent Gu Chuhuan down with a rope, and he took a leap and fell to the ground lightly.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for coming to the rescue just now."

"You're welcome. Miss Gu is a lover of flowers, but the mountain in front of her may not be as beautiful as you see. ”

Xiao Mingyan spread the map flat on the ground and stretched out his right hand to point to one of the mountains: "This is it." The mountain in front is called Phantom Peak, can Miss Gu see the markings on it? ”

Gu Chuhuan looked carefully, and when he saw the content inside, he was shocked into a cold sweat......

"There are countless exotic flowers on this mountain, but one-fifth of them contain toxins. Most poisonous weeds are fine as long as they don't scratch the surface of the skin, but there are two of the most beautiful flowers: one that sticks to the skin can cause a person to fall into a coma for a short time until death. The other will be sucked cleanly even if it is touched through clothing. ”

Gu Chuhuan frowned, and carefully read the small words on it: "Mandala and ....... Cannibal flowers. ”

Two poisonous flowers that can kill people, one has a beautiful name, and the other makes no secret of its thirst and greed for blood.

Gu Chuhuan couldn't help but think of Qin Niang's previous reminder, it seemed that she really didn't boast about the exaggeration......

"For the sake of today's plan, we can only try to find out if there is a way out for others, and if we can find it, we may be more sure of walking along the road."

"Didn't Qin Niang's father-in-law tell Your Highness which way they took before?"

Xiao Mingyan's expression seemed to be a little unbearable, and he hesitated for a moment before saying: "There were six of them before, and they wanted to go to the vicinity of the Medicine King Valley to avoid pursuit, but after they arrived at the Phantom Peak, they couldn't find the way to the top of the mountain, so they collided indiscriminately, and as a result, two companions were touched by the poisonous flower on the skin, and they died of poison as soon as they reached the top of the mountain...... Because it was a fluke to be able to climb to the top of the mountain at that time, the living people couldn't remember how they got to the top of the mountain in a panic, and the time was too long, so Qin Niang's husband couldn't remember the specific road. ”

Gu Chuhuan nodded, thought about it and said, "Your Highness, please go and break two thick branches, you may be able to use them in a while." Since we can't risk our lives, we have to let this branch help us explore the way......
