Chapter Ninety-Six: Diverging Paths
Red, this is the whole world of red earth and red rocks, this is the scene reflected in the eyes of Durong, they are now on the edge of a cliff.
It's not that they were unlucky enough to choose a cliffside, but here, the entire valley shrouded in enchantment is a circular canyon.
The towering mountains on either side now form the ground beneath their feet, and a few steps ahead of them are rock walls that are so steep that they are almost vertical.
And there is not even a vine that can reach out and grasp, if ordinary people stumble and fall on the edge of this cliff, it must be a situation of ten deaths.
The soles of the feet touch the soft reddish-brown sand, and the further away you look, it is also the same hue.
But on top of this red, the only thing with a different hue is something green.
Plants that are tall and tall grow here at will, and the most distinctive feature of this plant is the three leaves that fall one after the other and the unique red veins on them.
It is the withered grass that Durong is familiar with, but it is the first time I have seen such a large-scale growth area.
Not far away, there were a few bamboo baskets lying down at random, and the baskets were filled with dead grass with obvious characteristics, which were also scattered around at random at the moment.
These herbs, which were very expensive to the alchemist, had become yellow and brittle as they left the land, and the state of these dried plants was now quite apt to the name given to it by the monks.
Not only that, but there are also many shovels and hoes scattered around the bamboo basket, and these tools, which were originally used for digging medicine, are now scattered aside.
Although the sudden appearance of the barrier was very sudden, judging from the appearance in front of him, the speed of this closing was not fast, allowing the herb pickers in the Dry Grass Valley enough time to evacuate, but the process of this evacuation was a bit embarrassing, and the belongings and even valuable herbs were abandoned.
However, in this case, anyone who sees it will probably have a panicked reaction, and if they take a slow step and get trapped in it, they don't know what will happen in the later stage, and how long this enchantment will last.
People are often very afraid of the unknown, and the speed of hasty evacuation is also fast, anyway, the two of them have come in and haven't seen a single figure until now.
This valley of dry grass has been controlled by the local forces for several years, and ordinary monks are not allowed to enter to collect herbs, and there are always patrolling monks who kill monks who rush in.
Even if a monk can enter, he will be affected by the strong smell here, and naturally no monk will take this double risk.
In the case that only mortals can enter the valley to collect medicine, the side of the mountain and the position close to the cliff have become bare, and it seems that the years of picking have removed all the dead grass that is easy to pick, leaving only the location in the valley still lush.
In the past two years, the people who bought the most withered grass were Feng Zizhen and the two of them, and most of the places that seemed a little bald had turned into pills in his hands.
Bald the land and fattened their pockets.
When Du Rong was still a child, his father also roughly told him about the terrain and environment around Wulin Town, but there was never such a description of the red valley.
Although it is remote, the soil is fertile, and the black soil supports the growth of this luxuriant vegetation.
However, these are all terrain and landforms passed down orally by the previous generation, and in the past ten years, the world has also become unrecognizable because of this otherworldly plant.
At present, this reddish-brown soil is obviously caused by the serious loss of nutrients from the land, but I didn't expect this dead grass to seize soil nutrients so domineering, as long as there is a place for it to grow, there is no room for other plants to live.
Du Rong walked to the edge of the cliff, looked down, and the deeper place under the cliff was already a black and dark piece, I don't know how deep it is.
At the same time, a strong smell of dry herbs wafted in, and the monk seemed to smell something like poison, and his eyes were full of essence.
Yang Lanxi on the side also walked over, also looking at the scenery under the cliff, but the smell that drifted with the mountain wind made her very disgusted.
A simple wave of her hand, I don't know what kind of spell she cast, and from time to time there is a breeze in front of her, blocking out all smells.
"Miss Yang, this method of entering the valley just now really opened Du's eyes, I didn't expect that in your hands, this withered grass can still have a miraculous effect of breaking the formation. ”
Du Rong subconsciously said to Yang Lanxi, who walked to his side, his eyes were full of sincere admiration.
This trapped thousands of monks, and even the enchantment that even the monks could not advance an inch of the barrier was broken by the woman in front of him in a few breaths.
The cost of the use is only 10,000 dead grasses he sent.
There was no happy expression on her face for Du Rong's compliment, as if it was a normal thing for her.
"Du Gongzi is overrated, I just found the location of the array eye of this enchantment, and this enchantment was activated by the withered grass aura that corroded the array eye here, and I used the characteristics of this withered grass to exert force on this weak array eye, so it seems so simple. ”
Then he turned his eyes to look at the man opposite, with a slight gratitude and a hint of apology in his eyes, and said: "Du Gongzi, I told you before that I came here to do something very important this time, so I can't accompany you." But right now, there are just you and me in this valley, as long as you are careful of this steep terrain, there is nothing to pay special attention to before this barrier is opened. ”
"Before, we forcibly broke through the valley like that, and the damage to the array eye here has increased, and it is estimated that this enchantment will be opened ten days earlier than expected, and then the first batch of qi refining cultivators from the outside world will break in, Childe must remember to find a hidden place in advance, and when the enchantment is opened, you can leave, and when the foundation and Jindan monks can enter, I am afraid that there will be many accidents. ”
Yang Lanxi's warning was also Du Rong's plan, and there was still more than a month left, which was enough for him to search and investigate the entire valley, and he only wanted to know the cause of this withered grass, and by the way, he could do a good job of searching the huge amount of materials here.
As for this Yuanying Cave Mansion, he thought that his cultivation was lowly, but he didn't have the slightest greed to snatch food from the hands of the Jindan monks.
"Thank you, girl, for the point, as we agreed before, you can do your own thing, and I won't bother with it. I'm not a careless person about this time, and I'll find an opportunity to sneak away. Even if you don't say goodbye here, take care of the girl. ”
All of them are free and easy, this valley is so big, who knows where this woman is going and what to do, after the two part, there is naturally no possibility of meeting.
"I can come here smoothly this time, thanks to the generosity of the son, I have made a note of this favor, and I hope that there will be a day of encounter, and it will be rewarded!"
The woman's lips to repay the favor, Rong Rong has never taken it to heart, in order to make a good fate, he smiled: "The words of return, I dare not take it seriously, Miss Yang can bring it here, we have already cleared it, I wish the girl to do everything smoothly." ”
After taking a few steps forward, his toes also showed the edge of the cliff, Yang Lanxi glanced back at Du Rong again, and a smile seemed to appear on his face, which was usually not happy, and smiled at him.
Those already beautiful eyes narrowed into a beautiful crescent, which made Du Rong's heart flutter for no reason.
The next moment, she still maintained the posture of looking at Du Rong, so she leaned back and fell down, falling sharply to the bottom of the valley.
Du Rong also hurriedly ran to the valley mouth, looked at the falling shadow, and knew that the other party was not doing this.
As he expected, he adjusted his stance as soon as he entered the black shadows, flew sideways for some distance, and dived down to the bottom of the valley, only to disappear in the blink of an eye.
This woman can fly, and can also use any magic weapons, Du Rong is not a little surprised, he has long expected it.
If the other party didn't have this ability, he would feel strange, there was no one at this time, he rarely put on an indecent look, shook his head and chuckled: "This woman is really tough!"
