Chapter 6: Mutations in the Valley

Unlike the cold outside, the cave was warm and dry, and with the light provided by the clouds gathered at the entrance of the cave, Liu Zhao walked slowly into the depths of the cave.

The strange scene that made Liu Zhao happen again, those seven-colored clouds gathered at the entrance of the cave, as if they were alive, around Liu Zhao's body within one meter, wandering and following her footsteps, floating inside together.

Probably because of the faint fragrance coming from ahead, this dim cave did not bring any fear and uneasiness to Liu Zhao. And the clouds around her wrapped her around her and kept walking inside.

I don't know how long I walked, but a ray of light suddenly appeared in the depths of the dark cave! With the appearance of the bright light, Liu Zhao sensitively sensed the flow of air! In the flowing air, the wisps of fragrance are even stronger.

Feeling the road beneath her feet become smoother, she quickened her pace and walked briskly towards the light!

As she walked out of the cave, the clouds that had been with her all dispersed. Liu Zhao raised her hand to cover her eyes, because of the sudden brightness, her eyes were very uncomfortable.

As her eyes adjusted to her surroundings, she found herself standing in a valley. Overhead, the sun is shining; Beneath your feet, it's soft grass.

The valley was overgrown with tall trees she didn't know, the cliffs were full of brightly colored flowers, the birds in the forest sang happily, and from time to time small animals with serene expressions ran out of the bushes, curiously looked at Liu Zhao, who was in a messy shape, and jumped away.

In the middle of the valley is a small lake, which is a emerald blue-green color in the sun. Standing by the lake, there is no longer the uncomfortable feeling of lack of oxygen in the plateau. If you look closely at this small valley, there are no traces of human beings or large beasts, it seems to be a closed paradise lost, and it is like returning to the arms of a mother, warm and quiet.

"Gollum" came from a bowel sound, "Hehe, hungry." Liu Zhao touched his shriveled stomach and said with a smile.

In the morning, I only had a buffet breakfast at the hotel where I stayed, and then I took the mountain ropeway up the snow-capped mountain. It was already noon, and she was feeling hungry. Take off the hiking bag from your body, rummage for a long time, oh, there is no food to satisfy your hunger.

"Forget it, it's time to lose weight!" She comforted herself as she strolled along the lakeside.

"Huh?" The smell of fragrance came from the air again, this smell, sweet and cool, a trace of smell went straight to the back of her head, which lifted her spirits. She twitched her nose and followed the source of the scent to the left of the cliff.

On the low cliff, there was a strange clearing, which was particularly noticeable in this place overgrown with all kinds of plants. Because there, except for a blue plant with seven thick leaves, there was nothing within a radius of ten meters!

And the blue plant, not like grass, not like flowers, but like a miniature succulent with no thorns. The sunlight shines on the blue leaves, reflecting the faint blue glow of the stars. The cool and sweet smell emanates from the leaves of this plant.

"Gollum" Liu Zhao felt even more hungry in his stomach. Hesitating, she put down her bulky backpack and walked to the cliff.

Pulling the lush shrubs on both sides, Liu Zhao easily climbed to the cliff and stood next to the plant. Hungrily smelling the cool, sweet smell of the air, she swallowed.

"To eat, or not to eat?" She tilted her head in thought, and finally, unable to suppress the longing in her heart, she reached out and broke off a leaf, put it to her mouth and licked it.

Suddenly, a sweet breath spread from the tip of the tongue to the throat, and finally down the esophagus to the stomach. My stomach, which had been hungry all morning, felt a burst of warmth and comfort.

Smashing the fragrance that remained in her mouth, she put the whole leaf in her mouth and chewed it gently. "Oh, it tastes great!" Liu Zhao sighed with satisfaction.

"Such a delicious thing, even if it's poison, it's worth it!" Like a bandit, she pulled the whole plant out of the ground, shook the dirt on it, put it in her mouth and chewed it!

Sweet, cool, warm, waiting for all kinds of sensations to hit her taste buds, she closed her eyes contentedly and felt it, finally understanding why someone would risk their lives to taste puffer fish, this taste

Before she could think of a more appropriate adjective, suddenly, a hot current rose in her lower abdomen, rushing from the dantian down her spine to the back of her mind, "Oh, I'll go, I'm really poisoned!" ”

When the heat rushed to the top of his head, Liu Zhao fell to the ground and fell unconscious!

The moment she fell to the ground, her fingers, which had been cut by the mountain rock because of climbing, happened to touch a dark red stone the size of an inconspicuous child's fist, which had grown on the roots of the plant she had eaten, and had just been shaken to the ground by her.

In a flash of red light, a large amount of blood suddenly poured out from the wound on her hand, which was already dry, and the blood was quickly covered with the surface of the stone like a thread.

A strange sight appeared, the stone that had been covered with dust was bright red, and a red transparent heart-shaped gem appeared in the blood red. Liu Zhao's blood flowed like a gossamer, flowing along the lines and towards the inside of the stone!

As the blood passes, the stone becomes more permeable. Suddenly, a red light rose into the sky! As the blood-red light lit up, Liu Zhao's body suddenly disappeared out of thin air
