Episode 281: A sinkhole in the Valley of the Foggy Shade!
Foggy Valley, Foggy Valley.
Located in the depths of the Wuyin Mountain, it is named because of the perennial fog shrouding, there are big trees in the valley, the shade of the trees covers most of the valley, surrounded by mountains, among them, three sides are thousands of meters of high mountains, only one side is a low mountain, which can barely be regarded as the only entrance to the Wuyin Valley.
Turning over the low mountain, there is a water in front of you, and through this water, you can reach the place where the Misty Shade Valley is.
At this time, it was noon, the sun was high in the sky, although it was already December, but because of the location in the south, coupled with the broken barriers of the world, the climate has changed, so the temperature is still very high.
Under the sunlight and the scorching air, the whole world is like a furnace, not only people, but even the birds in the swamp are hiding in the shade of the water.
"Wow!"
Suddenly, a water snake suddenly pounced out of the water and bit an egret, and the nearby water birds scattered and fled in terror, and soon landed on the tree, staring at the swamp and chirping!
When the egret is dragged into the water, a burst of bubbles emerges, and then the surface of the water returns to calm. After a while, the waterfowl seemed to forget about the tragedy and flew into the swamp again, looking for a shady place to rest.
Nature has always been so cruel, the weak are strong, and they are everywhere.
Cheng Fei saw this scene in his eyes, but he had no intention of interfering from beginning to end, a non-venomous water snake was not a powerful poisonous insect beast, and it was not worth his too much attention.
Crossing the swamp, he finally came to the valley of the Misty Shade, and suddenly, a strange aura came to his face.
"Huh?"
As a powerhouse in the Divine Realm, Cheng Fei noticed the strangeness here the moment he entered the Fog Shadow Valley: "Here, there is actually a rather weak Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi fluctuation.........."
You must know that the native world is in the era of the end of the law, and although there is still a faint remnant of aura in the air, it is no longer traceable, except for a little secret realm of heaven and earth, even among those famous mountains and rivers, it is almost impossible to sense the fluctuation of aura.
Wuyin Mountain is not a famous mountain and river, and it is not a blessed land of immortals, but it is naturally surprising that there is such a degree of aura fluctuation.
Cheng Fei was very curious about this.
As far as he can remember, the Valley of the Misty Shade has always been a magical place, not only is there an extraordinary variety of wildlife, but also wild medicinal herbs, and the herb pickers from the nearby mountain villages often come here in search of some precious medicinal herbs.
However, there is also a taboo among the herb pickers: you must not go deep into the Valley of the Fog Shade!
In the depths of the Foggy Valley, there is a primeval jungle, which is shrouded in dense fog all year round, except when the sky is clear and the sun is in the sky, the fog is so deep that you can hardly see your fingers, and it is easy to get lost when you enter it, and there will be unknown beast attacks, so it has always been a forbidden area for several nearby mountain villages.
More than ten years ago, there were outsiders who did not believe in evil and wanted to go deep into the Foggy Valley to find some precious medicinal materials, but as a result, a group of more than ten people were all gone.
No one knows what happened to them, the village organized people to search, but nothing was found, these more than ten people, as if they had disappeared since then, did not leave any trace.
It was also from that time that the herb pickers in several nearby mountain villages were reluctant to enter the Foggy Valley to pick medicinal herbs unless they had to, and children were strictly forbidden to enter.
In fact, from a certain point of view, this can be regarded as a good thing, the mountains are full of dangers, and children running around in the mountains always have a great safety hazard.
There are fewer people picking medicine, and to a great extent, the ecological environment of the Fog Shade Valley can be protected, otherwise, if the harvest has been uncontrolled, the Fog Shade Valley has already become a barren place.
At least, it can't be preserved as pristine as it is now!
Inside and outside the valley, although there is only a hill hundreds of meters high, it is like two worlds.
The small hillside behind him was sparsely populated with trees and overgrown shrubs, but this side immediately changed. Centuries and thousands of years of vines are like dragons clinging to the trees!
These vines are very domineering, and some of them have made a circle of marks on the big tree, and they themselves have sunk into it. Some even strangled the giant tree to death, and then borrowed their own bodies to survive!
Nature is just so amazing and amazing.
Cheng Fei stepped into the mountains and forests in the valley, the ground was thick rotten leaves, next to it was a big tree covering the sky, and the sunlight fell into the air through a few gaps to form pillars of light, which was very beautiful.
For ordinary people, the light in the mountains and forests in the valley is dim, making it difficult to walk, and because there are many vines and criss-crossing them, you may fall down if you are not careful.
In normal times, this is just a trivial matter, but in the mountains and forests, it is different, a small accident can bring a deadly threat.
Fortunately, Cheng Fei is not an ordinary person now.
Although he did not fly in the sky because he had to survey the leylines, with his ability, even if he stepped on the ground, there was no danger in this mountain forest that could threaten him.
At the end of the day, it's about the strong self-confidence that comes with great strength.
According to Cheng Fei's knowledge, since there are obvious fluctuations in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in this valley, then, if you think that there are still spiritual veins in the ground, this can be regarded as good news for Cheng Fei.
His goal is to find the location of the underground spiritual vein, and then place the Yuan Jing Stone in the depths of the underground spiritual vein, so that the speed at which the Yuan Jing Stone gathers the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth will be accelerated, and the speed of the recovery of the spiritual energy of the native world will be accelerated, so that it will be easier to create a real powerhouse.
After all, if the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi was not strong enough, even if he cultivated the world and taught all the advanced martial arts he knew, it would be difficult for people in the native world to practice.
It's hard to raise dragons in shallow water!
Therefore, it is necessary to expand the spring pool, after all, no matter how strong he is, standing high at the top of the native world, what is the point? Only when the overall strength of the native world becomes stronger, can it be regarded as truly powerful, at least, strong enough to be able to deal with the upcoming alien beast calamity.
"Three months is really tight!"
Cheng Fei stepped forward, exuding divine consciousness and mental power as he walked, penetrating into the earth, observing the trend of the leyline, and looking for the location of the spiritual vein.
It didn't go far before the tall trees were replaced by dwarf miscellaneous trees, and Cheng Fei swept over at a glance, and without deliberately observing, he could see many medicinal herbs from the weeds and shrubs.
"Honeysuckle, rehmannia, bupleurum, unfortunately, they are all too small........."
Today, he can't look at most of the ordinary medicinal materials, but unfortunately, what he can see in his eyes are some very ordinary medicinal materials.
Banxia, Banlan root, mint and the like can be seen, but for him, it is really useless, and he has no intention of picking, so he stays here, waiting for the Yuan Jing Stone to be buried, and after the baptism of the Heaven and Earth Yuanqi, maybe they can also grow into the elixir of Heaven and Earth, and then they will have the value of picking.
There was a mountain path in the bushes, which was the walking route of the herb pickers in the nearby mountain villages, but Cheng Fei wanted to find the leylines, so it was impossible for him to follow the route they left behind.
He followed the trend of the leyline, the road was blocked by shrubs and weeds, covered tightly, it was difficult to see the real situation on the ground, there were no poisonous insects and beasts hidden, there was no doubt that such a road was difficult to walk, Cheng Fei could only wave the Chijing long knife again, and open up a new path for himself.
"Salsa ........."
A knife cut through the bushes, and suddenly, a colorful poisonous snake came out of it, and after being alarmed, it suddenly showed its ferocity, and the snake letter poured out in its mouth, with a trace of sweet and fishy smell, and flew straight to Cheng.
"Vipers!"
Many animals in nature, the more beautiful they look, the more poisonous they tend to be, just like the poisonous snake in front of them, colorful, but if you bite it, let alone a person, even if it is an elephant, it is estimated that it can be poisoned.
Such an existence is very dangerous, so it was naturally on Cheng Fei's clear list, and I didn't see how he moved, with a thought, this poisonous snake stopped in mid-air, and then decomposed little by little, turning into blood mist and drifting away.
"It's too weak. ”
Resting in the adventure world, such a poisonous snake can definitely grow into a terrifying beast, but unfortunately, in the native world, without a strong heaven and earth vitality, it is also an ordinary poisonous snake, how can it compete with a god realm powerhouse like Cheng Fei.
Stepping forward, it didn't take long for Cheng Fei to encounter another poisonous snake.
"Kill!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Cheng Fei directly struck and killed it, leaving such a poisonous snake behind, and when the Heaven and Earth Vitality revives and grows into a terrifying beast, it will definitely bring a near-devastating threat to the nearby villages.
Cheng Fei is a troublesome person, so he likes to nip threats in the bud.
In this way, he moved forward while cleaning up the various poisonous insects and beasts he had discovered, and before he knew it, he had come to the depths of the Fog Shade Valley.
"Huh, what is this?"
The leaves of Polygonum multiflorum are somewhat like melon seeds, and they are also similar to some miscellaneous vines, so when you identify them, smell them and look at the leaf veins, so that you can be better determined.
Cheng Fei took a look and found that this He Shou Wu was only three or four years old at most, so he didn't care about it and continued to move forward.
A knife splits the vines and weeds in front of him, and on the way forward, you can see some medicinal materials everywhere, compared to the mountains and forests outside, most of these medicinal materials are relatively long, if they are picked, they are also quite valuable, but for Cheng Fei, all medicine is ordinary medicine, and there is no need to pick.
Of course, if it is a relatively rare variety, he will also remember the position, and in the near future, the vitality of heaven and earth will recover, and there may be unexpected gains.
"Huh?"
Speaking of unexpected gains, Cheng Fei immediately noticed that a mountain col appeared in front of him, and from here, it seemed that the vegetation was exceptionally lush, and there might be a harvest.
Where the spiritual veins are, there must be lush vegetation, and maybe there are strange beasts infested, which can be regarded as a sign, and it is naturally worth Cheng Fei to explore.
"No, it's not a col, it's supposed to be a .......... Sinkhole?!"
There are many unexpected reasons for the appearance of the sinkhole, but a mere sinkhole cannot become an obstacle for Cheng Fei, he descended from the sky, and after a short time, he reached the point of the sinkhole.
This sinkhole is very large, like a small valley, nestled in the Valley of Fog Shade, a valley within a valley.
Cheng Fei looked at it and saw that the weeds were all tall and the shrubs were luxuriant, and he wanted to drown people. There were many tall trees growing on the ground, Cheng Fei looked at it, and found that it was rare mahogany, as well as elm, camphor, kapok and willow!
Speaking of which, mahogany is now a valuable tree, especially a large one.
If it was before, Cheng Fei would definitely think about how to get these big mahogany out for money, but now, money or something is no longer very important to him.
People are at different levels, have different eyes on things, and pursue nature differently.
Cheng Fei split the weeds and vines in front of him and approached this forest, he faintly felt that the spiritual vein he wanted to find might be in front of him.
A few strange birds were alarmed, and immediately flapped their wings and flew away, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the distance, and in the jungle, there were also some small animals scurrying around.
Cheng Fei came to the edge of the forest, a few tall mahogany, a few people can hug the thickness, it can definitely be regarded as a towering tree, because the shade of the tree blocks the sun, so there are not so many weeds and shrubs under the tree, it is much easier to walk than the previous road.
Entering the forest, suddenly, a cold aura rushed in, making Cheng Fei subconsciously frown. After three months in the Ice Age, although he has adapted to the cold, he has also become more and more disgusted with the cold.
In the woods, some associated medicinal herbs can be seen everywhere, and soon, Cheng Fei found a few mountain ginseng plants, although they are wild, but because the year is too shallow, it has little value.
However, next to a willow tree, where the sun can shine, Cheng Fei found two He Shou Wu trees that are twenty or thirty years old, which is already a very good harvest for the medicine picker, but for Cheng Fei, such a discovery is not enough to bring surprises.
The further you go, the more often medicinal herbs appear, and the vintage of medicinal herbs is also very large, and even, some of them are rare varieties that are almost extinct in the outside world, but here, they can be seen everywhere.
"The ground is full of life, and the underground veins are high, and it seems that it is not far from the place where the spiritual veins are. ”
Cheng Fei continued to move forward, and now, he didn't need to deliberately follow the trend of the earth's leylines, he only needed to move in the direction of lush plants, which was a very obvious sign.
However, just as he walked to the most luxuriant place of plants, there was a dead ground in front of him, and more than a dozen towering trees of the thickness of several people had died, and a few had even broken and fallen to the ground, and most of them had been corroded by wind and rain.
There were no weeds on the ground nearby, and there was not the slightest life within a radius of 100 meters.
"That's not right!"
Cheng Fei obviously felt that in that dead land, it was the place where the vitality was the strongest, how could it be such a situation now, at this moment, he stepped forward and split the huge dead wood blocking the front with a knife, and then, what caught Cheng Fei's eyes was ...........
