Chapter 328: The Depths

Qingnao Mountain is the fourth most desperate situation after Yunmengze, Yunwu Forest and Xiling Snow Mountain.

Previously, while waiting for the body search, Guichen heard the cultivators around him mention this matter, but he didn't care about it at the time. As we all know, among the three desperate realms, Yunmengze is the largest lake in the whole continent, the cloud forest is the forest with the most fierce beasts in the whole continent, and the Xiling Snow Mountain is the highest danger in the whole continent.

Most of the first three desperate retreats are familiar from nowhere, but this Qingnao Mountain is unheard of.

Although he had heard Ying Baoyue explain what a swamp was before, he didn't think it was so dangerous just by listening to it. But it was only after entering the forest that he realized that he had made a big mistake.

It was only after he actually stepped into this swampy forest that he realized how dark it was.

It was noon, and it was supposed to be the hottest time of the sun, but the interior of Qingnao Mountain was as dark as evening, and when he stretched out his hand, he could only see a thick mixture of water vapor and miasma.

This is not the worst thing, after actually stepping into this place, all the cultivators found that their biggest enemy at this time was actually the earth that was trampled under their feet.

The first dismount that the swamp gave them was the fall.

There is no ready-made road in the forest, and it is always necessary to find a place to stay in the forest, but if you step on the ground in this mountain forest, your feet will immediately fall into the mud, and you will not be able to borrow strength at all.

At this time, Guichen looked at his left foot, which had been deeply trapped in the swamp, and a drop of cold sweat flowed from his forehead.

A cold, sticky touch rose from the center of his feet, as if the true essence and temperature of his body were frozen, and fear rose with it.

This is the swamp.

In the forest not far away, you can see cultivators like him everywhere who are unable to walk an inch.

Although a practitioner will not be swallowed up by the swamp like this, it is enough to pull his feet out of the swamp with every step. And being able to jump on a tree or something, that's a skill that can only be possessed by the fifth level, and the cultivators who participate in the beginner ceremony must be down-to-earth whether they want to or not.

But at this time, what they are under their feet is not the ground at all!

Because of this, it had been a while since the bell rang for the start of the dispensing, and although all the cultivators had rushed into Qingnao Mountain at the first time when the bell rang, most of them had not run out at all. Almost all of them are still fighting wits and courage with the mud on the soles of their feet

But schisandra, a hard-to-find medicinal material, must have grown in the depths of Qingnao Mountain. But now that this swamp is full of conditions, it is difficult for people to even walk, so how can they go into the deepest part to collect medicine?

Guichen finally understood why this medicinal herb was rarer than gold on the market, and he couldn't buy it.

"Mingyue, you ......" At this time, he remembered the situation of Ying Baoyue and hurriedly looked at it and was about to ask, but he was stunned the moment he saw it.

Just because the girl in front of her is standing firmly on the ground.

Ying Baoyue's feet were also soaked in a thin layer of mud, but to Guichen's surprise, her feet were normal.

Specifically, the position of the feet is normal.

The feet of the other practitioners were deep or shallow in the swamp, but this woman landed on the ground with her feet impartial, and although she was also immersed in the mud, it seemed that she had stepped on the ground.

"Are you trapped?" At this time, Ying Baoyue heard the sound and looked at Guichen, whose entire leg was about to be swallowed by the swamp, and hurriedly beckoned to him, "The right foot is half a foot behind me, and then I pull out the left foot with my strength." ”

Guichen was stunned for a moment and then complied, and when he finally moved his right foot halfway to where she was standing, his pupils shrank. His foot actually touched a long strip of solid ground under the swamp.

"This is ......" Guichen pulled out his left foot with the help of force, and stood under the long strip of things and looked at his feet in a daze.

There was still a black swamp under his feet, and the long strips of things were hidden under the swamp, and nothing could be seen from the outside.

"Mingyue, this is ......" Guichen asked as he looked at Ying Baoyue.

"Is this it?" Ying Baoyue stepped on the hard things under her feet when she heard the words, and looked at Guichen Road.

"It's the roots."

Roots? What he felt was indeed a rope-like thing, and Guichen was stunned when he heard it. If it were an ordinary forest, there would be so many ginseng trees growing that the entire ground would be covered with huge root systems, and many of them would protrude from the ground.

The forest floor has been covered by swamps, but these huge root systems still exist, but are they all hidden under the swamps?

Guichen suddenly realized that the shallower root system near the ground could indeed step on the strength.

But it had rained last night, and the water level in the swamp had risen today, so the originally shallow roots were tightly covered, and from the appearance it looked like it was just black, how did she know which place had roots hidden under the mud?

"Follow me."

At this moment, Ying Baoyue spoke softly, and Guichen's eyes widened, watching the girl in front of him actually run through the muddy swamp forest.

Guichen didn't even dare to breathe, staring at Ying Baoyue's feet, he would land wherever she stepped on, and in this way he really stepped on the roots of the tree again and again. Relying on this method, he actually stumbled and ran in the forest.

"Wait, who is that?"

"Can you still run in the swamp? Is this teasing me? ”

"Black cloth ribbon...... Former Qin people? But the former Qin stepson was obviously in the other direction just now! ”

"Isn't that the woman in front of you? What kind of magic is this? ”

Listening to the stunned voices of the others in the forest, Guichen did not let go of every place that Ying Baoyue stepped on, and at the same time had time to sigh in his heart as his movements became more and more proficient.

Sorcery?

She wasn't using any magic at all.

Guichen looked ahead of him like the girl floating over the swamp, this was indeed not an evil spell, she was just stepping on the roots of trees in the forest that should have been exposed to the ground.

The whole thing was not unusual, but what was strange was how she could identify a place with roots underneath the swamp under the cover of the swamp.

Before Guichen could ask, their figures were already some distance away from the large army behind.

At this time, the light in the forest was getting darker and darker, and when Guichen opened his eyes wide and focused on his eyes, he understood that they were already close to the depths of Qingnao Mountain.

"Heart," at this moment Ying Baoyue stopped and stood under a tree.

"Don't touch these poisonous insects, let's go slowly." Ying hugged the moon and said.

"It's almost deep enough that you might come across a place where schisandra grows in the future."

Guichen then stopped and gasped for breath so as not to alarm the owner of this mountain forest.

"It's just...... Where does Schisandra grow? Guichen asked breathlessly holding on to the trunk of the tree.

"It's usually in the stone crevices of river pools or boulders near streams," Ying Baoyue said.

A waterhole in such a swamp?

Guichen couldn't imagine how soft and dangerous the soil would be.

After a brief pause they slowed down and crept on, and a quarter of an hour later a waterhole appeared in front of them.

Guichen looked up and saw the thing.
