20. The Mountain of Poisons

couldn't help but look at the concentrating back and sighed for a while, Zhang Long thought about it, and then turned his head to look at the "Heavenly Spirit Grass" mentioned by Liao Lei next to him.

The neat-looking Tianling Grass is about a foot tall as a whole, and the slender leaves are like orchid grass, but the color is very dark green, as if ink has been mixed with green pigment, and there is a very thin silver thread in the middle of the leaf, which extends from the tip of the leaf to the bottom, exuding a mysterious beauty.

If it weren't for hearing Liao Lei's words, Zhang Longqian really didn't think that such a beautiful grass would be highly poisonous, she turned a few angles to look at it, and still only saw clumps of leaves, so she could only ask Liao Lei: "That...... Where is the fruit? ”

At this time, Liao Lei had quickly changed various methods, but she still couldn't dig up the red soil, not even a single mark was left, and the ground was as smooth and smooth as the beginning, as if it was not soil, but a piece of stainless steel brushed dark red. Hearing Zhang Longqian's voice, he sighed softly, simply gave up the incomprehensible soil, and then came over with the five-flavor box, stretched out his hand and plucked the leaves of the Tianling Grass and said, "The fruit of the Tianling Grass is very small, growing at the end of the silver thread, the back of the leaf. ”

As he spoke, he turned out a few vermilion fruits, which were only about the size of peppercorns, and grew together in bunches like grapes, which looked very pleasant.

Liao Lei instructed Zhang Longqian to pick the Heavenly Spirit Fruit carefully, and he also collected a lot of it himself, and then pointed to some plants next to him, and while explaining the use and danger to Zhang Longqian, he picked it with his own hands.

According to Liao Lei, these plants are rare varieties that do not exist in the human world. It is only recorded in the ancient texts, but he knows them all, and he grows for a long time. The medicinal value, toxic parts, types of toxins, etc. can all be told.

To this extent, it is no longer possible to describe him as "obsessed" with poisons or drugs, and he is indeed worthy of being a "genius" who has achieved nothing to study at a young age.

Under Liao Lei's guidance, Zhang Longqian also picked a lot of things, and she followed Liao Lei slowly down the mountain, and everywhere she could see was all kinds of strange-shaped plants. It's just that both the trees and the grass are sparsely grown, revealing dark red soil. In addition, the branches and leaves are all dark green that is not found in ordinary plants, and it looks desolate at first glance.

After explaining a few poisonous weeds to Zhang Longqian along the road, both of them felt that it was too slow to act like this, so they tacitly stopped their voices. Immediately, Liao Lei walked in front of herself picking things. When he saw something worthy of Zhang Longqian to put away, he would say it and tell her the precautions. The two of them slowly walked to the place shrouded in clouds and mist, and then turned to look at other places, Zhang Longqian found that the plants on the mountain were distributed according to the terrain, and the same kind of plants all grew around the mountain at the same height.

Thinking that there were still a few mountains that she hadn't visited, Liao Lei suggested a different place. Zhang Longqian agreed without hesitation.

Follow Liao Lei and fly up slowly, looking at the mountain full of plants at her feet. Zhang Longqian suddenly had a doubt, and asked: "Didn't you say that there are still many poisonous insects and monsters on Yiyi Mountain, why do you only see plants?" ”

Liao Lei pointed to the lower hill on the side, hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled slightly: "You'll know when you get there." ”

Soon arrived at the top of the mountain that Liao Lei pointed to, Zhang Longqian looked down from above, and found that there were not many plants on this mountain, but he couldn't see the bare ground, but from a distance, she could see the ground twisting from time to time, she knew in her heart that there should be something else completely covering the bare ground, as for what it was, she couldn't tell it at all, she could only see a dark underneath.

After getting a little closer, you can find that this place is different from the previous mountain with only plants, it is not quiet, but the rustling sound brought by the movement of creatures is constantly sounding, and the dense sound sounded without interruption, as if there are countless small creatures wriggling at the same time, and Zhang Longqian, who has not yet fallen on the mountain, has a numb scalp for a while.

Looking at the ground below as if she was alive, Liao Lei's eyes flashed with excitement: "Don't go down first, there are too many poisonous insects below, I'll call you when I can." ”

After saying that, he fell down without hesitation.

The ground seemed to be concave downward, and before Liao Lei could stand firmly, the ground next to him suddenly rose high and rushed towards him. Only then did Zhang Longqian realize that the "ground" was full of colorful poisonous insects of different sizes. The poisonous insects with wings flew up in pieces, and those that couldn't fly also rushed to Liao Lei on the ground layer by layer, the scene was very terrifying, and Zhang Longqian almost couldn't help but scream.

Liao Lei smiled a little gloomily, and then was wrapped in countless poisonous insects, seeing this, Zhang Long's heart tightened, and he wanted to go down to help him, but he saw that all those poisonous insects stopped moving, and then fell to the ground one after another as if they were dead, and in the blink of an eye, a small hill was piled up at Liao Lei's feet. As if frightened, the poisonous insects that were originally going to follow Liao Lei's periphery immediately dispersed in all directions, and in a moment they walked cleanly, revealing the same dark red ground as the first mountain.

Only then did Liao Lei raise her head and say to the stunned Zhang Long: "It's okay, come down." Then he squatted down and picked up the insects like no one else, and threw them into the five-flavor box one by one.

Slowly falling on the dark red ground that became empty, Zhang Longqian looked at the motionless insect mountain at Liao Lei's feet, hesitated for a moment and still didn't get closer, although she was not afraid of insects, but the dense layers of accumulation were too terrifying.

Seeing that the surrounding plants had all been seen on the previous mountain, as if that mountain was a gathering place for all the plants in the Wing Mountains, Zhang Longqian could only turn his attention back to those colorful poisonous insects, and after looking at them for a while, he asked, "Are these insects all dead?" ”

Squinting as if the eyes were glowing, she sorted and put the picked out insects, and Liao Lei replied without raising her head: "No, it's just that they are all fainted, and they can be woken up with a small spell when they go back." Would you like to take a little as well? ”

Zhang Longqian shuddered in his heart, and quickly shook his head: "No, this level of poison ...... I just can't handle it. ”

Hearing this, Liao Lei didn't say much, he carefully selected in the insect mountain, and stopped after taking about ten of each poisonous insect, then put away the five-flavor box and sighed with satisfaction: "The varieties here are very kind...... Let's take a look down and we should be able to spot some rare species that don't live in groups. ”

Seeing that Liao Lei was going down the mountain, Zhang Longqian looked back at the Poisonous Insect Mountain, which was silent, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "You just let them stay like that?" If any predators come, they'll all die. ”

Glancing at Zhang Longqian with some surprise, Liao Lei smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I cherish these little guys more than you." I'll cast the spells that disarm when we're a little farther away, and if it doesn't work yet, they'll pounce. ”

Nodding clearly, Zhang Longqian followed Liao Lei step by step. (To be continued.) )
