Chapter 217: The Valley of Silence

"No one has ever eaten the fruit of the corpse incense vine, so no one knows what will happen if they eat it." Yan Xiaoying explained in a low voice.

Listening to her words, I couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, smelling the rich smell of blood in the air, and I felt the urge to vomit.

Fortunately, Yan Xiaoying knew this kind of demon vine, otherwise she might have tasted the blood in the melon fruit just now, thinking that this big melon was full of human blood, not to mention how disgusting that scene was.

I have to say that the world is really full of wonders.

I used to think that I knew something about most things, but I just sat in the well and watched the sky.

Just as the second master said to us before: "In this world, there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are heavens outside the sky." "What you know and what you experience may not be worth mentioning in the eyes of some people.

After knowing the truth of this fruit, where do I dare to touch it again?

Yan Xiaoying sat on the ground, leaned over to look at the bottom of the cliff, retracted her head and said to me after half a ring: "This corpse incense vine climbed up from the bottom of the cliff, there are so many of them, that is, under the cliff, many people may have died before. ”

She paused, then continued, "From this point, it is even more certain that the ancient tomb of the demon general may be in this valley. ”

"In ancient times, human life was really like a mustard, and even if one person died now, it would be a big deal, but I don't know how many people died in the burial ditch here, and it was pitiful enough to think about those people." I shook my head.

"Zhumen's wine and meat stink, there are frozen bones on the road!"

Yan Xiaoying said lightly: "Not only in the past, but also now, once the society is in turmoil and chaos, how can human life be valuable?" ”

"According to what you said, there should be a mountain of corpses down there, and the water in the river is probably undrinkable." I frowned.

"If you really can't help it, it's not that you can't drink it, the river water is not necessarily poisonous, I'm afraid you won't be able to pass that level in your heart. When people are in a desperate situation, not to mention the dirty river water, even human blood must be drunk. ”

"It's okay, I can still hold on!" I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and recklessly.

"It's going to be dark, there are corpse incense vines growing here, it's not a good land, let's go down quickly, find a place to rest in the valley and recover our strength." Yan Xiaoying said.

I nodded, immediately carried Yan Xiaoying, walked out of the cave, and climbed the corpse incense vine down the cliff.

went down to the bottom of the cliff and picked up the wild grass vines to check, and sure enough, as Yan Xiaoying said, there were corpse bones lying underneath, and there were quite a few of them.

There are no tall trees growing in the valley, but the grass is abundant, and a stream flows from the depths of the valley into a cave under the cliff.

The temperature in the valley was cold and damp, and it was strange that in such a large valley, except for the sound of the water, there was no sound of insects and birds chirping, and it was as silent as death.

This kind of silent atmosphere makes Yan Xiaoying and I feel abnormal, although in autumn, most animals and insects have been dormant, but it is impossible not to hear even the slightest sound of insects?

The eerie atmosphere makes us wary.

Going deeper down the river at the bottom of the valley, we soon noticed the traces of someone who had stepped on it.

Because the grass in the valley is fresh and tender, as long as someone pulls the grass and walks over, it is indispensable to break the blades of grass and leave a grass path, unless the person can work lightly or walk down the river and go upstream.

In front of our eyes, the traces of human walking are very obvious, and these marks are not like footprints left on the mud ground, which can be clearly recognized even when it rains.

To put it bluntly, this trace is like a snake road and rat road, and people who have been fighting rats and snakes in the countryside must know it.

Judging from the broken blades of grass, the people who came here before us should not have a long time in the past, but I don't know if the people in the past are the camel couple or the second master?

This question is unrecognizable from the footprints left by the other party alone.

However, there is one point, the little red snake also led us in the direction of the valley, which means that the injured flying centipede king may also be dormant in the valley.

If the Centipede King is dormant in the valley, this can explain that this valley is so silent, and the habitat of the Poison King, other creatures naturally dare not approach.

The territorial consciousness between animals is very strong, and there are generally powerful beings, and weak creatures in the vicinity dare not approach.

I groped my way forward following the traces of my predecessors, and then Yan Xiaoying, who was behind me, suddenly said, "I understand!" ”

"Got what?" I stopped, turned my head to look at Yan Xiaoying, and asked strangely.

Yan Xiaoying glanced at me and explained, "I understand why you said that the injured Flying Centipede King had to burrow into the mountain tomb under the Centipede Ridge before?" ”

"Huh?"

I looked dazed and asked: "The mountain tomb is the old nest of the Flying Centipede King, and after it is injured, it naturally returns to the old nest to recuperate, do you still need to think about it?" ”

"No, if my guess is correct, the lair of the six-winged centipede king you said is not actually in the mountain tomb in Centipede Ridge."

Yan Xiaoying paused, and then said: "Before, it fought with the golden rooster on the Centipede Ridge and escaped injured, it must have known that you and the little red snake were hiberning in the dark, so it deliberately burrowed into the mountain tomb, it is a disaster to the east!" ”

"What's the trouble?" After listening to Yan Xiaoying's words, I was even more puzzled.

"One mountain can't tolerate two tigers, don't you still understand this truth? It's like the reason why we encountered the little red snake in the blue meteorite and the Clematite King parasitic in Lin Miao's body. ”

"You mean to say...... The four-winged centipede we met on the chain suspension bridge before and the six-winged centipede king were hostile? It leads us into the tomb, in fact, by our hands to get rid of the four-winged centipede? ”

Yan Xiaoying nodded and said: "That four-winged centipede is also a poison king, and it is an outlier that produces the inner pill, and in terms of strength, it may be weaker than the six-winged centipede, but it is not without the strength to fight." The six-winged centipede was injured in battle with natural enemies, and it was afraid that the four-winged centipede would take its place if it was injured, so it deliberately led us into the mountain tomb to meet the four-winged centipede...... Otherwise, its nest was in this valley, so why didn't it fly back to the valley at that time? Instead, go into the mountain tomb? ”

"You...... Could it be that we are thinking too much? After all, they were just two centipedes, and it seemed as if they were more clever and cunning than us humans. ”

"It's not that I'm thinking too much, it's that you're underestimating the monster that made Nedan. They can give birth to Neidan, and the cultivation time must be at least hundreds or even hundreds of years, this kind of monster, do you think their wisdom will be weaker than that of humans? Yan Xiaoying asked me rhetorically.

I remembered that the six-winged centipede had burrowed into the corpse of the old woman guarding the temple, pretending to be a living person, and could still speak human words, which showed that its intelligence was not weaker than that of humans.

"If your guess comes true, then these alien monsters are simply terrifying!" As I thought about it, I couldn't help but get goosebumps all over my body.

"That's nature!"

Yan Xiaoying said, glancing at the little red snake wrapped around my arm, and said in a low voice: "So it is extremely difficult for you to get a little red snake to follow you, it is too difficult to subdue this kind of intelligent monster." '

"The little white dog we adopted in the mountain temple at the beginning is actually very potential, but it's a pity that it was lost in the secret realm of heaven and didn't come out, I'm afraid it's already more auspicious now, right?"

Hearing Yan Xiaoying mention Xiaobai, I immediately fell silent, indeed Xiaobai is very smart, not weaker than humans, and it also helped me find the mountain whip at the beginning.

When I went into the 100,000 mountains to bury the lake to help Lao Fei find the antidote, Xiaobai lost it once, and then it actually came back alive from the 100,000 mountains, and when I saw it come back, I was so surprised that my jaw almost dropped.

You must know that there are many poisons in the 100,000 mountain beasts, and the underground burial lake is even more dangerous, even Yan Xiaoying and I almost couldn't come back, it was able to come back unharmed, and I don't know how it did it?

Xiaobai and Xiaoya have a lot of feelings, and it was Xiaoya who brought it back from the mountain temple at the beginning. If you let that little girl know that Xiaobai is lost, it will probably be very sad, right?

"Maybe it can come out of the Heavenly Secret Realm by itself, just as we abandoned it in the 100,000 Mountains before...... I muttered to myself.

Yan Xiaoying shook her head, glanced at the sky and said, "It's getting dark, and the flashlight is out of power, this place must be very dangerous at night, so let's find a place to settle down quickly." ”

I nodded, picking up my pace.

Night was falling, and finally we found a bare stone wall several meters high before dark.

The stone wall is flat, which can be used for us to rest temporarily, but the stone wall is open and cannot shelter from the wind and rain.

It's dark, and if it rains suddenly, it's not easy to deal with.

It's nice to find a place to sit in this kind of place, and we're not that picky.

Climbed up the stone wall, put Yan Xiaoying on it and sat on it, taking advantage of the fact that the sky was not completely dark, I climbed down the stone wall, drank a few sips of mountain stream water to quench my thirst, and then found some dead branches nearby and returned to the stone wall to make a fire.

By the time the fire had risen, it had become completely dark, and the whole valley seemed even more silent, deep, and eerie.

The weather is in autumn, and it is even colder at night, but fortunately the valley is sheltered by high mountains on all sides, and there is no cold wind to blow through.

After several tosses, Yan Xiaoying and I were hungry at this time, but we couldn't find food to satisfy our hunger in this kind of place for a while, so we could only grit our teeth and endure it.

The bonfire crackled and burned, reflecting Yan Xiaoying's face a lot better.

"How does your body feel?"

The two sat around the campfire, sitting opposite each other, silent, and in the end, I couldn't hold back my loneliness and asked Yan Xiaoying's physical condition.

Yan Xiaoying's knees were bent, her head resting on her knees, and her big eyes were staring at the burning flames in a daze.

She seemed to have something on her mind, and I called her several times before she came back to her senses.

After moving her injured arm and calf, Yan Xiaoying frowned slightly and said: "The arm and leg are recovering well, but because of the centipede poison, I always can't lift my strength, if there is a pill now, it should be able to remove the remaining centipede poison on my body." ”

I smiled bitterly and said, "It's all because I'm too profligate, the lark pill has been used up, you say...... I have eaten so many lark pills and taken blood ginseng, if you drink a sip of my blood, can the centipede poison in your body be resolved? ”

I remember that when she was bitten by a two-headed monster snake in the secret realm of heaven, I used to feed her to drink my own blood to detoxify, and it turned out that it was indeed effective.

Yan Xiaoying glanced at me and said lightly: "Although blood ginseng is an elixir, it is not an antidote, and it is estimated that it is ineffective against centipede poison, as for the centipede poison on your body, it may be because your wife's soul imprint appeared before and used a special method to detoxify the poison, after all, the mountain god Niangniang is a legendary character, and the solution to the little centipede poison is naturally not a problem." ”

"And ...... I didn't drink your blood in the Heavenly Secret Realm, but you remembered it wrong. ”

"Really?"

I touched my head and said, "It seems that I can only take the Flying Centipede's Neidan to detoxify you." ”

"Actually, I don't have to waste so much effort, because of the little red snake, the toxins in my body are gone, and the rest will not be my life, and it will always get better in the future." After all, the Flying Centipede King is the monster that gave birth to Neidan, even if your strength has increased greatly now, I am afraid that if you want to kill it...... It's a little bit off. ”

"This time, we are mainly looking for the camel couple and the second master, as for the flying centipede king and Xiaoling, who has become a water fish, don't provoke if you can......"
