Chapter 103: The Valley of Death (3)
The reason why this land is isolated from the outside world is that it is separated by forests and swamps.
The dark forest is eerie, surrounded by cliffs that rise from the ground, forming a huge cavern that looks like an ancient ruin.
In the mountains in the evening, the temperature is very low, and the sunset is dappled with leaves on the trees.
Every now and then there was a howl or two of wild beasts and the wail of owls.
Suddenly, a white phantom flashed in the sky, and I couldn't see what it was. It's as eerie as a ghost.
Lu Qi and the others raised torches to light up the sky, and he exclaimed, "What is that white flower?"
"Owl."
"How can that be white?"
Nangong Keqing was very sure that it was an albino animal, so she casually explained: "It is the result of a genetic mutation."
"What are genes?" Qi Qingxuan asked with doubts.
"Uh......" The corners of Nangong Keqing's mouth twitched, so she tried to explain: "You can understand that it has mutated for some reason."
She could only explain it in such a simple way, otherwise he would ask for a series of medical terms to explain.
"The animals here aren't all white, are they?" A sentence came out mercilessly and coldly.
"It should be." Nangong Keqing replied.
One of the guards pointed not far away and shouted in surprise, "And that one...... Is it a white fox? ”
"Quick, take the arrow......" Xuanye immediately took a bow and pulled the arrow, but was stopped by Nangong Keqing.
She said solemnly: "We are invaders, don't get into trouble." ”
Xuan Ying pursed his lips and said mysteriously: "My subordinates have heard an ancient legend that white animals have always been regarded as elves or divine objects that have practiced for thousands of years and first realized the immortal path. Therefore, the people of later generations are extremely reverent and awe-inspiring. ”
Nangong Keqing secretly slandered to himself that there were so many gods.
"Perhaps the ecological environment induces the phenomenon of albinism in animals, which belongs to the northern subtropical monsoon climate zone, with short sunshine, warm and rainy, foggy, heavy humidity and long frost periods. As a result, some animals have less exposure to sunlight and their complexion turns white over time. ”
Nangong Keqing is an atheist, and he has always been unbelieving in ghosts and gods.
Lu Qi was so tired that he sat on the ground, leaned his back against the tree, and folded a piece of grass to play.
Nangong Keqing inadvertently turned her head, her pupils shrank, and her gaze fell on the plant in his hand.
She walked up to Lu Qi excitedly, "Don't move, what you have in your hand is an excellent saffron!" It's like no other on the market. ”
Nangong Keqing carefully took it from his hand and said seriously: "This is the most precious herb!" The color and shape are unique. ”
Nangong Keqing looked around, and not far away, attracting her attention.
Nangong Keqing trotted over, unable to hide the excitement in her heart, "What a wild black Ganoderma lucidum!" It must be a thousand years! "It's much bigger than the sea bowl, the hardness and luster are excellent, it's very rare, and it's the best of the wild Ganoderma lucidum!
Not only this strain, but also the moon flower, this is a good medicine for trauma! It can detoxify all kinds of poisons.
Even-bought !!
Basswood red Ganoderma lucidum, ginseng, saffron, and dendrobium are all treasures that have been around for thousands of years! It's even more fun than picking up a baby.
Although Pi Qingxuan doesn't understand medical skills, he can also see that these plants in Nangong Keqing's hands are definitely the best of the best, rare in the world.
"Chongyang, quickly put these Ganoderma lucidum and herbs carefully in a box." Nangong Keqing was busy picking herbs and explained without looking back.
"It's so big here, and Ruthless came to help."
Lu Qi looked at the cliff not far away in a daze, and suddenly, as if he had discovered some strange phenomenon, he couldn't speak, "Master...... Over there... Isn't it also Ganoderma lucidum? Lu Qi pointed not far away and shouted with some uncertainty.
Nangong Keqing and Qi Qingxuan looked back at the direction pointed by Lu Qi at the same time......
Suddenly, Nangong Keqing's eyes widened, and a brilliant light appeared under her eyes, she couldn't suppress the excitement and excitement in her heart, and blurted out: "I rely on ......"
That Ganoderma lucidum is simply a giant laminated Ganoderma lucidum! It is more than 1 meter long and more than 50 centimeters wide.
Qi Qingxuan frowned slightly, a little incredulous, what did he just hear?
Chongyang stroked his forehead, secretly helpless, girl, can you be reserved, it's too rude.
Nangong Keqing showed a covetous look and looked at Qi Qingxuan, "Lord Wang, I'm going to take it off." ”
Without waiting for him to answer, Nangong Keqing called Chongyang, Xuanye, Ruthless and other dark guards to come forward and pick them up.
Chongyang flew forward, landed on the top of the cliff, and retreated extremely quickly in an instant.
Nangong Keqing hurriedly took two steps forward and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?" ”
"There's a big white python on the cliff."
"I have a way, you carry me up." Nangong Keqing is determined to win.
As soon as Chongyang's hand touched Nangong Keqing's slender waist, he was quickly hugged by Qi Qingxuan and flew to the top of the cliff.
Nangong Keqing didn't think about it so much, only thinking about the giant Lingzhi, so under the cover of the bag, he called out an increased dose of the hemp-drunk gun from the space.
The python held its head high, made a "sizzling" sound of the snake spitting out the letter, and crawled forward, absolutely defending its things, and holding on to it.
Nangong Keqing aimed at the snake body, and with a "bang", the white snake staggered like a drunk, still making a stubborn resistance, and in the end, it finally couldn't support it and fell to the ground.
Nangong Keqing shouted to the bottom of the cliff: "Okay, you guys come up." ”
After the concerted efforts of several people, the giant Ganoderma lucidum was finally picked off, and it was more than 100 catties.
Nangong Keqing was so happy that she jumped to her feet.
Out of the forest, you will be greeted by a deep green jungle, with a long and muddy river, lush ancient trees on both sides, rattan entwined with each other, and a mist filled.
Pi Qingxuan ordered people to cut down trees to make rafts, and when a pillar of incense was made, three simple rafts were done, and everyone got on the raft and walked through the river.
In the quiet green valley, the cries of wild beasts can be heard from time to time, eerie, terrifying, and eerie everywhere, all of which are creepy.
"You look like there's something underwater?" One of the guards screamed.
A few people couldn't see it really, so they lowered their heads and lay on the raft to see more closely.
"Be careful...... Don't get too close, there is a ......" Nangong Keqing's reminder was not finished, and a big fish flew out with a "vacant land".
A mouth full of sharp teeth, with a bloody mouth wide open, biting the chest of the Dark Guard Scar.
Nangong Keqing reacted quickly, swinging his dagger as fast as lightning, killing him with one blow.
"Lord Xie." The scar was terrified, and a sinuous scar on his face was even more distorted.
"It's a piranha, everyone be vigilant and prepare for war." Pi Qingxuan's expression was solemn, there would be many if there was one, and he couldn't be careless.
As if to anger the creatures in the river, for a while, dozens of piranhas flew out of the river fiercely, grinning and biting.
Everyone swung their swords and slashed down, and waves of piranhas seemed to be inexhaustible, hacking and killing batches and flying out batches.
Suddenly, a shrill cry rang out...... The piranhas suddenly drowned in the river in unison.
"It's a water monster...... "I don't know who shouted from the guards.
Everyone looked into the water, and a behemoth was swimming in the water, its whole body was gray, its mouth was more than a meter wide, and its mouth was full of sharp fangs.
Suddenly, the water monster burst out of the river, and the water jet from its mouth was several feet high.
The crowd was terrified.
The water monster had a dragon swinging its tail, the raft overturned, and everyone fell into the water.
The water monster opened its bloody mouth and approached everyone......
In a few moments, a large area of blood red appeared on the surface of the water, and several more guards were devoured by the water monster.
Nangong Keqing will not keep sinking...... At this moment, she was extremely frightened, and a sense of helplessness spread throughout her body.
Pi Qingxuan kept fighting with the water monster in the water, he was so anxious that he was entangled by the water monster, and he was so afraid that he would not have time to save her.
The other guards fought with Qi Qingxuan, and the monster kept biting everyone with its big mouth.
Due to the excessive pressure in the water, the group of people and other forces could not be used, and the internal force used by Qi Qingxuan was weakened a little, he no longer loved to fight, and turned around and swam towards the place where Nangong Keqing fell into the water.
However, the monster clenched and clenched, swept its tail, and swept away a group of people.
The monster swam fast, it opened its huge mouth, and it was about to devour Qi Qingxuan.
Between the lightning and flint, Qi Qingxuan suddenly turned over, jumped up, and stood on top of the monster's head, the ten-layer internal strength of the Canghong Sword in his hand was exhausted, and a sword stabbed at the monster's body, and the blood gushed out, staining the river red.
The big monster let out a terrifying whine of pain...... Swinging his tail vigorously, he shook Qi Qingxuan far away.
Qi Qingxuan only felt a pain in his chest, and if he didn't find it, he would probably ...... He didn't dare to think about it......
Qi Qingxuan waved his hand and motioned to Xuanying, Lu Qi and others to save Nangong Keqing.
Qi Qingxuan was anxious.
Suddenly, a huge whirlpool was stirred up on the water surface, and another huge water monster appeared, its whole body was white, and its body length was as long as ten meters, and its appearance scared off this gray-white water monster.
Everyone swam to the shore, but they didn't see Nangong Keqing.
Seeing that there was no shadow of Nangong Keqing on the shore, an unprecedented fear spread.
He plunged back into the river and continued his search...... After repeating it several times, he was tired and unstable on his feet, and Xuan Ying, the guards and others stepped forward to stop him, for fear that the master would make a mistake.
"Master, your subordinates can't let you put yourself in danger anymore." Xuanying shouted stubbornly.
Qi Qingxuan couldn't accept that Nangong Keqing disappeared in front of his eyes like this, he regretted extremely much why he couldn't protect her well, why did he let her come to such a dangerous place?
It was as if his heart had been hollowed out.
The deep eyes were extremely scarlet at the moment, and the blue tendons on the forehead were bursting up.
Suddenly, a qi force was exerted, and the mist swirling under the action of the powerful internal force shook the surrounding guards and secret guards flying far away.
Chongyang and Xuanye were extremely self-blaming and worried, after fighting with the monsters, they all hung up one by one, at this moment they just wanted to find the master, and they swam down the river to find it.
Pi Qingxuan ran back to the river and shouted desperately: "...... to die"
