Time flies by in the blink of an eye, and it's soon the day of the finals.

Xiao Meng packed up the necessary supplies and came to Tianyou Hall to gather.

The location of the finals is the Gu Sheng Valley, which has been handed down by the ancestors of the Gu family.

Gusheng Valley is a semi-enclosed space, and only the head of the family can open the entrance.

Everyone who participated in the car, sat in a car, could not see the situation outside, and then the car traveled for a long time, finally stopped, and waited for a short time, and then acted a little more, and heard Sha Gu, who was driving the car, say, "It's here!" Twenty people got out of the car one after another.

Xiao Meng got out of the car and found a paradise-like valley.

The valley is rich in herbs, quiet and comfortable, but unfortunately it is not popular.

In addition to the driver Sha Gu, there was also his master Gu Qingling.

I don't know why this is arranged, but now that Gu Qingling is on business, he is no longer willing to look at Xiao Meng, and he probably won't open the back door. It's Sha Gu, who occasionally casts a gaze that seems to be pity and respect.

Xiao Meng doesn't care.

Gu Qingling said, "The schedule is ten days, and you all have to stay in Gusheng Valley for these ten days. There are huts built at intervals in the valley, and there are enough supplies for you to rest into. ”

"Because the Gusheng Valley is larger, you must be self-reliant. There are no beasts and monsters here, so you don't have to worry about encountering big dangers, but if you really encounter danger, each of you has received two communication charms, Sha Gu will stay here, and he will rush to save you when he gets the news. But remember, if you call for help, then the game is eliminated immediately. ”

"After 10 days, you will be assessed based on the grade and total value of the medicine you collected, and points will be deducted for mistaking worthless or insufficient herbs. It is strictly forbidden to fight, and if it happens, once confirmed, all finances will be confiscated and permanently expelled. Remember? ”

"Remember!"

Everyone answered.

After saying the key thing, Gu Qingling glanced at Xiao Meng, then didn't say anything, turned his gaze, and said to everyone, "From now on, until the unitary time in ten days, return here on time or in advance." If you want Sha Gu to go to greet you, the total value of the scoring time will be halved! Well, feel free to do so! ”

After Gu Qingling finished speaking, he took Sha Gu to the nearest hut.

Brother Jin walked up to Xiao Meng and said with a smile, "Although you are a woman, I have confidence in you." The first place will not be given to you, don't miss the place of this medicine picker! ”

Xiao Meng nodded and smiled, "I'll tell you the truth, I'm just going for the first place." Don't underestimate me, or you'll regret it! ”

Brother Jin laughed, "How dare I underestimate you!" Take care. ”

After speaking, Brother Jin explored the way and left first. The others also dispersed. Xiao Meng looked at the terrain and headed west.

On the paper given by Gu Qinghuan, a sign with an irregular crescent shape was drawn, and the pattern on the sign was unknown, perhaps Gu Qinghuan was not sure about the specific shape.

The map given by Gu Qinghuan only scribbled the appearance of a few hillsides, and then a forest on a hillside, and a red dot was marked in the woods.

What Xiao Meng was looking for was at that red dot. However, the red dot is just a gesture, the forest is so big, who knows what direction?

Gu Qinghuan must not be looking for it for the first time, but he hasn't found it before, which means that it is not easy to find. He didn't necessarily have hope that Xiao Meng would find something, but Xiao Meng couldn't help but find it.

Otherwise, she would have to give up the final.

There are many hills in the west, and Xiao Meng can only try his luck.

While walking Xiao Meng, he collected valuable herbs, especially those of higher value.

Xiao Meng didn't plan to give up the game, so he had to speed up. All this way is a non-stop brisk walk, the eye is used to the extreme, almost swept over, it is necessary to determine: first, whether the terrain at the place is similar to the painting on paper; second, there are no precious and older herbs nearby; Third, when encountering a special environment, Xiao Meng will consider staying for a while and looking for rare herbs in depth.

Soon a day passed, and Xiao Meng's legs were sore. When it got dark, Xiao Meng remembered that he passed a hut behind, and if he wanted to get to the next one, he was afraid that he would have to walk for half an hour, but this half an hour would be a dark night.

The sky was full of stars, there was no moonlight, Xiao Meng hesitated, did not return, found dry grass and dry branches to make a torch and continued to move forward.

I have to say that the desperate situation gives courage, in this wilderness where there is almost no one, Xiao Meng chose to move forward without the slightest fear at this time.

The light of the torch could not shine far, so Xiao Meng had to pay attention to the nearby terrain and environment, and then carefully search for it according to the growth environment of the herbs.

However, there is also the benefit of finding medicine in the dark, there is a rare herb, very precious, shaped like beans, and the particles are similar to beans, which are not easy to find during the day, but at night they will emit a faint fluorescence, which can be seen from afar.

Xiao Meng's luck is not bad, this line has made her encounter a few places, and the year is still very long, and the harvest is greater than during the day.

But then, the next hut will be two hours away.

In the middle of the night, seeing the hut, Xiao Neng breathed a sigh of relief, and thought that if he couldn't see him again, he would sleep in the open air. If you don't rest well, you won't be able to stay up tomorrow, and it's not cost-effective.

The hut is in the wild all year round, and it took a long time to repair, but fortunately, the roof is arranged with rainproof and strong materials, and the materials are stored dry, and they will not be very broken.

Xiao Meng walked into the hut with tired steps, too lazy to make a fire, uncovered the dust cloth covering the bed, found the quilt in the cabinet and laid it out, then lit the torch and ate a few mouthfuls of his own dry food, drank a sip of water, extinguished the torch, and fell asleep.

was so tired that Xiao Meng fell asleep on the bed.

It is estimated that it was around the ugly hour, and in the quiet night, a dark wind suddenly blew by, whistling, and rushed into the hut where Xiao Meng was, but Xiao Meng slept too dead and didn't feel anything.

Xiao Meng had a strange dream.

Xiao Meng rarely dreams, and rarely dreams of his deceased grandmother. That night, Xiao Meng dreamed of it.

And she was a grandmother when she was young, and she looked like she was only in her forties. Xiao Meng had never seen her grandmother when she was young, but she naturally knew that she was a grandmother.

Grandma woke up Xiao Meng, Xiao Meng woke up in a daze, and was suddenly surprised, and called, "Grandma, you're here." ”

Grandma smiled and hugged Xiao Meng, and Xiao Meng realized that he was still one year old.

However, Xiao Meng naturally accepted it.

Grandma walked out with Xiao Meng in her arms, and Xiao Meng babbled and talked, wondering where Grandma was going to take her.

Walking and walking, walking through familiar and unfamiliar buildings, grandma came to the river with Xiao Meng in her arms.

The river is wide and deep, and there seems to be a gloomy atmosphere in the river.

Xiao Meng suddenly felt some fear for no reason, turned his head to look at his grandmother, and what came into his eyes was his grandmother's rapidly skeletal face.

Xiao Meng screamed, and suddenly felt that his body was empty, and he broke away from his grandmother's hands and fell into the river.

Many white hands suddenly stretched out from the river, slender and strange hands.

Xiao Meng shouted, screaming and struggling.

With a "poof", Xiao Meng fell into the water,...―――――
