Chapter 81: The Red Mushroom

Xiao Ding and Yue Yurou walked upstream along the stream, turned a corner, and went around the back of the rock, but found a stone room.

There was a small pool in the stone chamber, shrouded in a rising mist, from which the water flowed.

Xiao Ding and Yue Yurou came to the door of the stone room.

The door of the stone chamber was very wide, almost as wide as the whole stone chamber. Xiao Ding and the others stood at the door and looked carefully, and saw that this stone room was also a natural stone cave, and there was nothing else in it except this small pool.

It was dark in the snake cave, but the stone chamber was very bright.

Xiao Ding was very curious, so he looked around for a light source. Yue Yurou stared at the plants on the platform in the middle of the waterhole and thought carefully.

Following the light, Xiao Ding found that the light source came from the small pool, but the fog was shrouded above the pool, and he couldn't see what was shining in the water.

Xiao Ding took a closer look at the island platform in the middle of the waterhole. The platform was surrounded by stone walls, and in the center was soil, like an artificially built flower bed. Has anyone been here?

The plants on the platform looked like mushrooms, not very large, some of the larger ones turned red, some of the smaller ones were yellow, and some of them were white.

"There are red mushrooms here...... Yue Yurou muttered.

"I've heard that brightly colored mushrooms are poisonous." Xiao Ding said.

"What you're talking about is a mortal thing, if it's a divine thing, it will change color after a few hundred years......" Yue Yu Judo.

"Hundreds of years? Could it be that this mushroom is a sacred object? Xiao Ding exclaimed.

"Of course, it's just that I haven't identified what kind of mushroom this is, and when I return to the sect to check the information, I should be able to find out." Yue Yurou said, her tone full of joy.

"And how do you know this mushroom is hundreds of years old?" Xiao Ding asked curiously.

Yue Yurou looked at Xiao Ding, and then explained in detail:

"According to the records in our sect, sacred objects such as plants and trees will have different colors depending on the age. The age of most of the fetish, from low to high, corresponds to the five colors of white, blue, yellow, red, and purple.

"Some artifacts may evolve into another color in just one jiazi, while others may take ten jiazi. Different kinds of fetishes have evolved at different times.

Of course, not all gods need to evolve through these five colors, and there are only two or three that evolve, for example, white directly evolves into yellow, and then from yellow to red or purple. There are also those that only evolve the first three colors, or the last three colors. None of this is a given.

"The older the artifact, the more miraculous the effect. Basically, red and purple artifacts are very rare to go through hundreds or thousands of years of evolution. ”

Listening to Yue Yurou's introduction, Xiao Ding opened his mouth wide: "This is the artifact of Luoxia Mountain?" Are we going to get rich! ”

"You know how to make a fortune, and your eyes are in the eyes of money!" Yue Yurou tapped Xiao Ding's head with her finger and said, "If this artifact is refined into an elixir, its effect is several times stronger than the artifact itself!" Similarly, the elixir refined with the divine artifact is also different from the ordinary elixir. Ordinary pills are generally black, but the pills refined with divine objects are also divided into five colors: white, blue, yellow, red, and purple. ”

"You're saying these mushrooms can be used for alchemy?" Xiao Ding asked like an idiot.

"Of course ......," Yue Yurou replied, still looking at those mushrooms and secretly happy.

"That's great, you can take these mushrooms back for alchemy, and when you finish refining the pill, just send me a few pills, hehe!" Xiao Ding smiled slyly and made a wishful calculation.

"Absolutely! My life was saved by Brother Ding, what is it to refine some pills for Brother Ding! Yue Yurou said seriously.

"Then thank you Miss Yue in advance. However, it seems to be a bit troublesome to pick mushrooms in the past......" Xiao Ding said.

Although the small waterhole is not large, the platform is in the middle of the waterhole, and no matter which direction you go through, you have to wade a distance of about three feet in the water.

The water is so thick that you can't see the bottom of the water or know how deep the water is.

Xiao Ding put his hand into the water and tested the temperature of the water, which was slightly hot, which exceeded the temperature of the human body.

It seems that it can only swim through. Xiao Ding took off his coat and shoes, leaving only a pair of big pants from the trouser leg to the knee, which the second girl helped him make according to the drawings drawn by Xiao Ding.

Yue Yurou on the side saw Xiao Ding undressing, her face flushed, but she didn't avoid it.

"I swam over to pick mushrooms." Xiao Ding said to Yue Yurou.

"Well, be careful, just pick those red ones." Yue Yurou instructed.

"No problem!" Xiao Ding jumped into the water in response, and his mouth was so hot that he couldn't help but let out an "oops".

After getting used to the water for a while, Xiao Ding moved forward.

He could feel his feet on the bottom of the water, and it seemed that the pool was only a man deep. The shorter ones will not have a (mò) top, and Xiao Ding is tall, so he can walk forward with his chin raised so that he can not be drowned.

Just walked forward for a distance of about two feet, Xiao Ding suddenly felt something on the soles of his feet and moved. The thing was very hard and slippery, and Xiao Ding almost fell, so he quickly paddled with both hands so that he didn't fall underwater.

There was a mist floating on the water, and Xiao Ding couldn't look down, he didn't know what he stepped on.

Continue to walk forward, and after a few steps, Xiao Ding felt that he had stepped on the thing just now. At the same time, I felt that the underwater light in front of me was dimming.

In order not to be fallen, Xiao Ding began to paddle with both hands, and his feet hung in the water.

Suddenly, Xiao Ding felt a pain in the ankle of his right foot, and it seemed that something was clamping his ankle.

Xiao Ding was shocked, and said in his heart, is there any creature in such hot water?

He didn't know what it was, but it felt very heavy and his ankle hurt.

Xiao Ding didn't dare to slack off, endured the pain and hurriedly rowed towards the island platform in the middle of the waterhole.

The closer you get to the platform, the brighter the light in the water will feel. Just as he saw the edge of the platform, he suddenly felt a pain in his left ankle, which was also pinched by the thing.

He shook his feet in the water, but of course he couldn't shake them off. I had to swim onto the platform.

He felt his feet weigh heavily and struggled to pull his legs out of the water and sit on the edge of the platform. I saw a black giant mussel the size of a wheel on each of his feet. From the mouth of the giant mussel, Xiao Ding saw some light. There were glowing beads in the mouth of the giant mussel.

At this time, his two ankles had been broken by the giant clam pincers and were bleeding.

Xiao Ding tried to break the mouth of the giant clam with both hands, but he couldn't break it with a lot of strength. He smashed the shell with his fist again, trying to smash it, but the more he smashed it, the tighter it buckled. It looked like the feet were about to be pinched off by the giant mussel.

He looked around at the platform and found that it was not large, except for the stone walls around it, which were full of soil mixed with a lot of wood chips, and there were no hard objects such as stones to smash mussel shells.

Xiao Ding didn't expect to fall into such an embarrassment, how should this be good?
