Chapter 18: Hécordata 2
The dense back mountain of Takaha Mountain.
"Poof!"
Kick up a puff of dust and fallen leaves.
He found a hole in the thief's corpse and threw it in, and took a large pile of fallen leaves and put them on top to cover up one or two.
To cover it up a little, just in case, he still needs to keep a low profile now.
I didn't delay the trip for this matter, but I finally found the magic cordata, and now I have already found it on the top of the mountain.
"I can only go to the jungle to look for it. ”
Some markings were made along the way to prevent you from going deep into the jungle and not finding your way back.
It didn't take long for him to find that there were people who were going to the depths of the dense forest in the same direction as him, and the other party had obviously discovered him, quietly grasping the handle of the dagger, and quietly observing the other party's movements.
The figure in the distance lingered for a moment, and Horen could feel the gaze of the other party, but there was no superfluous movement.
He waited for the other party to walk away before continuing to look for a place where there might be a houttuynia and try not to run into the other party.
In the dark forest, even though it was still daytime, the high canopy of trees still blocked most of the sunlight.
I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but Horren feels that this place is even more gloomy.
It is a very large grave forest, and one of the graves has small saplings growing on it, which makes it very strange why the saplings grow on top of the grave. But none of that was the focus of Hollen's attention.
He found a sapling of the Houttuynia cordata, a dark green color, with serrations on the edges of the leaves that grew very regularly and were relatively recognizable.
However, he still watched his surroundings vigilantly, and found no danger.
He walked lightly to the grave, stepped on it without hesitation, and successfully plucked the magic cordata.
Suddenly, there was a sound under his feet, and the dirt on the top of the tomb peeled off, revealing the material of the stone.
The whole tomb was made of stones, and there was a layer of dirt on it, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he hurried to jump down.
It's too late!
He fell straight into the grave with his whole foot down.
"Boom!"
The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
Huo Lun fell to the ground, grinning in pain, but fortunately, his physique is better now than before, and this height is not very high.
Regardless of the pain on your body, you should first observe your surroundings.
It's pitch black, he doesn't bring flint with him now, he originally planned to return to Fallen Leaf Town tonight, but he won't encounter an emergency if he doesn't arrive first.
Looking up at the top of his head, the hole that had caused him to fall had been closed, and there was no way around him to climb up with the strength of his strength.
The space here is not large, it is a little larger than a normal tomb, and there are no coffins and no funerary goods around.
The only good news was that he didn't seem to see any human bones on the ground, and it seemed that it was a fake grave.
In the darkness, his fingers touched a cold, hard object.
It's a stone!
I tried to move the stone, but I couldn't lift it, and it was heavy.
The sound of rolling stones!
He carefully moved the stone, revealing a dark hole.
Some faint light emanated, and the hole was so small that it could only be passed slowly by bending down.
There was another sound of stones rolling, and he carefully shifted his steps forward.
There was a slight thump at his feet.
It's flint.
After picking it up, it was carefully examined and it was found that there were obvious signs of use.
There were other broken torches scattered on the floor, and there were torches stuck in the walls from time to time.
Someone came before him.
Or maybe someone has been here before but gone out again.
It gave him a sense of urgency.
It's still not enough.
Tidy up your things, take out the cordata and swallow the dates and stuff them into your mouth, sit in place, and enter a meditative state.
A bitter smell of plant rhizomes permeates the entire mouth, and the taste is unpleasant and unpalatable.
Follow the meditation method to use psychic power to hook psionic energy.
As time passed, no one entered the cave again.
I don't know if it's day or night.
At this time, a faint fluorescence that was almost invisible appeared on Huo Lun's body, and the active energy particles felt close to him.
Suddenly, Horren slowly opened his eyes.
This meditation, I felt a significant progress, the Heudata cordata can really assist him in his current stage of cultivation, he felt the existence of the will rune in meditation.
"Maybe there's more Houttuynia here. ”
When he fell into it, he only saw one, this tomb was so big, there must be other places to exist. At this time, he was a little glad that he had found this tomb, and this progress gave him his first glimpse of the doorway.
Although I don't know how much time has passed, there is no record of time, but his stomach is already very hungry.
He took the flint from the ground, lit it, and then lit the torch, and gas with the torch.
Coupled with the torches on the walls, it was enough to see the passage clearly.
Almost one step at a time, worrying about both the danger in front and the danger in the rear, although it is very likely that no one will fall.
Came to a large space, this tomb is still connected, I don't know how big it is.
"Are all the graves in the forest empty?"
It is not known who laid it all out.
The size of this space is not small, and there is no danger for the time being.
There were five paths in front of him, and he looked at each of them, and they were all the same passages, and he couldn't see any difference.
"You can only choose a passage based on your feelings. ”
A passage in the middle was chosen, and there were no torches on the walls on either side of these passages, only the torches in Horen's hand lit up the surroundings.
He hadn't gone far when there was a slight sound of footsteps ahead, and an ugly, short monster was jumping on its two feet into the passage.
The next moment he rushed in front of Horen's eyes, and he attacked first, slashing the monster with a dagger and a terrible and piercing scream.
This monster is easy to deal with and has no special abilities.
More footsteps came from the front, very chaotic, as if rushing towards them.
It's still the same monster just now, much bigger than the one that Horren killed.
Secretly measured the number of both sides and decisively chose to retreat.
The monster chasing behind let out a terrible scream, and Horen turned around and ran to the space of his choice, returning to the place where he had first entered, intending to return to the place where he had fallen in and block the hole.
Suddenly, there was a sound of slabs sliding, right at Horen's feet, and he glanced at the pitch-black cavern beneath his feet.
scolded secretly: "Is it so unlucky!"
This time it was so strong that it felt like the bones were about to fall apart.
The torch also fell in the distance, but fortunately it was not extinguished,
There was something wrong with the touch behind it, there was no cold stone floor as expected.
Laboriously touching the ground, his hand just touched the texture of the fabric under his body, and was interrupted by a scolding.
"Who are you!"
