Chapter 100: Nine Starry Sky Valley
I don't want it! Cao Zhijin retracted her hand, although she didn't stretch it out in the first place, this subconscious action showed her decision even more.
"You look ahead and watch the road!" She added.
Accustomed to the way Phi Xing used her, accustomed to his sneering and even ruthless appearance towards her, she couldn't get used to his caring and caring way for her!
"If you don't want it, I'll lose it!"
He didn't even give Cao Zhijin time to repent, and threw the night pearl in his hand on the ground.
"You're crazy!" Cao Zhijin exclaimed, this was their only light in the darkness!
Cao Zhijin bent down to pick up the night pearl on the ground and wiped its surface with a cloth bag.
He was at her feet, and she knew it was his way of forcing her to pick up the Night Pearl!
He has such a good ability, he has a thorough understanding of everyone's psychology, on the surface he is not difficult to force others, and he shows a casual appearance, but in fact, every move makes the persecuted person under irresistible power!
"Hold on!" He tugged at his scabbard.
"Hmm." Cao Zhijin stretched out the night pearl in his hand to the front, just enough to illuminate the path under his feet.
Phi Xing looked at his feet, paused slightly, didn't say anything, and continued to walk forward.
When there was no fog before, Phi Xing couldn't find the direction, but now that it's foggy, Phi Xing seems to have found a clue to guide the way, and walks in one direction very purposefully.
It turns out that the fog in the forest is drifting in one direction!
I don't know how long she walked, but just when Cao Zhijin felt that her feet were getting heavier and heavier, she suddenly stepped on the air and almost fell.
Fortunately, Phi Xing's hand was fast, and he turned the scabbard in his hand in a direction and crossed in front of Cao Zhijin, and Cao Zhijin also grabbed the scabbard with both hands, and barely stood firm with the help of the power of the scabbard!
"Be careful, we're going downhill!" Phi Xing reminded.
Decline......
That means they've found the valley!
Cao Zhijin was excited in his heart.
At this time, a strong wind blows, making people shiver!
Cao Zhijin tightened the clothes on his body, and suddenly heard a terrifying and strange sound not far under his feet, this sound was reduced by the mountains and forests and trees, and then weakened, and then became ethereal, adding a bit of mystery, like a giant monster hidden in the darkness roaring!
And they are like the culprits who have stepped on the tentacles of a giant monster and provoked its anger!
Strange cries burst out of the ground with the wind, surging up like waves and falling suddenly, returning to silence.
As long as the wind blows, there is this strange cry!
Cao Zhijin clenched the end of the scabbard and asked Phi Xing nervously, "What is this?"
She deliberately lowered her voice, as if frightened by the monster, and made it leap to its feet and throw them into its hungry belly with its huge claws!
"Don't be afraid, this is the Nine Starry Sky Valley." Phi Xing tugged at the scabbard at the other end of the sword soothingly.
Feeling his response, Cao Zhijin's mood calmed down a little.
"What is Nine Starry Sky Valley?" She asked.
"It's the hollow valley formed underground, the difference is that each of the hollow valleys in the Nine Star Sky Valley is connected underground, and when the wind shuttles through, the sound of passing through different hollow valleys sounds like the cry of a monster!"
"There is such a place in the mountains!" Cao Zhijin said in surprise.
Phi Xing rarely agreed with her statement: "Not all mountains have such empty valleys, let alone they should be connected to each other!"
"Listening to this voice, there should be no less than dozens of hollow valleys here!"
He looked back at Cao Zhijin and said, "The empty valley that the old man said should mean here, we have found a place!"
"We don't know where the exact location of the hollow valley is, any foot may be stepped on, be careful, you follow me, don't let go of the scabbard!"
"Hmm!" Cao Zhijin nodded.
She saw that Pi Xing was holding a sword in her left hand, and kept testing on the road ahead, and only after confirming that it was safe did she take a few steps forward.
Cao Zhijin tugged on the scabbard and said, "Stop!"
"What's wrong?"
"Give me the sword, let's change positions!" Cao Zhijin stepped forward, still not letting go of the scabbard in her hand, but the scabbard turned in a different direction, and at this moment she was the leader!
Seeing that she suddenly became calm, Phi Xing was stunned.
"Miss, this is the only weapon for the two of us to defend ourselves, are you sure you want to put it in your hands?" He smiled lightly.
It goes without saying that this laugh is full of mockery, because he has only called her "Miss" lately when he thinks she is funny!
"Well, I'm sure, give it to me!" Cao Zhijin said calmly.
After getting along with her these days, he also gradually learned some of the ways she was used to expressing herself, like the ordinary appearance of her not being surprised or annoyed in front of her, which was precisely when she was most confident.
Knowing that she had found a clue, Phi Xing handed her the sword in his hand.
"Be careful, the sword has no eyes!"
Cao Zhijin glanced at the sword in his hand and snorted coldly: "For me, it's safer to put it in my hands than in your hands!"
"We don't have dry food with us, like you are slowly exploring the way, when will we find these dozens of empty valleys?"
Based on the old man's statement and the environment in which Songzi likes to grow, Cao Zhijin concluded that there must be Songzi in these dozens of empty valleys!
"Matsuzi likes dark and damp places, but she doesn't like places where no sunlight shines at all, so there must be gaps in the valley for the sun to shine on."
"If you want the sun to shine down, you can't have a thick cover on the ground, otherwise the sun won't be able to shine if it's blocked."
"And the plant species that grow on different soil layers are different, and we can find clues based on this!"
Seeing her loosen her scabbard, Pi Xing squatted down with the Night Pearl, carefully observing the growth of plants and trees on the ground, and smiled lightly.
"Found it, found it!" Cao Zhijin beckoned to him.
Phi Xing walked over and looked at the handful of grass illuminated by the night pearl disapprehantly.
Although the grass was indeed strangely grown, neat and leafy, as if someone had deliberately trimmed it, how could she determine the extent of the hollow with this small handful of grass?
Before he could speak, he saw Cao Zhijin throw the sword in his hand.
The blade of the sword was stuck diagonally in the middle of the blurred grass, and it sank in a few moments!
Cao Zhijin held up the night pearl in his hand so that he could see the growth range of this grass, and explained: "My guess just now is correct! This is a gluttonous grass that grows specifically on the roots of trees and can live without soil. ”
"The land we saw that looked sturdy was actually an illusion hidden by lush gluttonous grasses and fallen leaves from big trees!"
In other words, this gluttonous grass is full of roots and leaves to confuse the eye!
When I looked at the stars, I found that there were many century-old trees growing around this grass, because there was no human constraint, they grew in different postures, even the trunks, not to mention the intertwined roots!
It is entirely possible to say that the roots of these trees are intertwined with each other and cover the mouth of the hollow valley!
