Chapter 160: Ginseng
Ge Diyan had already reached the bottom of the Great Hollow, and at the bottom was a huge space, and the water flowing down from the waterfall hit the ground with a deafening roar.
Below the waterfall is a small lake, and the water that flows down from above is basically poured into the lake, and some of the water splashes to other places, and the ground here is wet everywhere.
The air at the bottom of the cave is very humid and cold, it is not the first time that the swallow has come here, the air quality here is very good, there are even a lot of plants growing at the bottom of the cave, the light source here is not very good, so the leaves of the plants are green and white.
The waterfall washes over the lake day and night, and the water in the lake overflows and then gathers to form an underground river that flows around the lake into the distance.
It turns out that there is another cave at the bottom of the cave, I don't know whether it is the result of the water flow, or the magic of nature, there is a wide tunnel not far from the bottom of the cave, all the water gathers here, and flows slowly along the tunnel.
Standing at the bottom of the cave, I could clearly see the situation above, and suddenly, something fell down and smashed into the lake, and disappeared in an instant. Ge Diyan frowned slightly, not knowing what was going on above.
It didn't take long for Zhao Ruozhi to reach the bottom of the cave, and his first feeling was that it was as cold as winter, although it was not as cold as the ice cellar in Qinling, but it also made him shiver.
Ge Yanyan asked, "What happened?" She saw Lu Shuiyi turn back again, and she didn't see her for a long time.
Zhao Ruozhi gritted his teeth and forced himself to calm down: "Just now, a lizard-like animal suddenly attacked me, I didn't see it clearly, it hit the stone wall and fell, did you see where it is?"
Ge Diyan raised her vigilance, she also noticed the falling thing just now, but it disappeared after falling into the water, and no one knew where it swam at this time.
Zhao Ruozhi said worriedly: "Lao Sha is likely to have encountered a sneak attack by a lizard." As he spoke, he saw a figure swaying at the entrance of the cave, and he said with joy, "Fortunately, they are fine."
After about seven or eight minutes, Sha Dutian and Lu Shui arrived at the bottom of the cave, Zhao Ruozhi couldn't help but admire the two of them in his heart, you must know that such a deep hole, coupled with the slippery cave wall, the two of them reached the bottom of the cave so quickly, if it weren't for their agility, it would definitely not be so easy.
Seeing that Shadutian was safe and sound, Zhao Ruozhi put his mind at ease, and at this time he noticed the terrain here, and as he guessed, there was really a cave here.
Sha Dutian was surprised: "What kind of plants are these, it's amazing, hey, such a wide tunnel, shouldn't we go into the water?"
Hearing the water, Zhao Ruozhi shivered again, not to mention going into the water, even if he stood in a place where there was no water, he was trembling.
"Yes, we do have to go through the tunnel, but I don't have to worry about going into the water, I'm prepared," he said.
I saw Ge Yiyan walk to a corner, it was very secret, and there were a lot of plants growing in the corner, I don't know where she pulled out a rope, Zhao Ruozhi saw some clues, and ran forward to help.
It turned out to be a rubber valve, and as soon as Ge Diyan operated, the rubber raft was full of gas and bulged like a leather ball.
Sha Dutian praised: "Gao Ming, with this thing, it's much more comfortable."
Zhao Ruozhi said: "Lao Sha, let's carry it over."
After a while, the four of them got on a rubber raft, untied the rope, and began to drift towards the depths of the tunnel, driven by the current.
Judging from the rubber raft, Ge Diyan was quite familiar with this place, so they all relaxed their vigilance.
The spacious tunnel is full of turbulent water, and although the current is fast, at least it is very stable, unlike the rafting belt of some tourist places, where there are many rocks blocking it.
However, they also have rocks here, and the rocks are densely packed on top of their heads, and sharp stalagmites are born on top of their heads, and a rock sugar gourd may pass through their hearts if they are not careful.
Sha Dutian lazily enjoyed the journey, and this time someone took the lead to lead the way, but he was much more relaxed.
Lu Shui looked at the current, not knowing what he was thinking. After drifting for a while, the tunnel became unusually quiet, and even the water became still, but the raft did not stop.
The rubber raft swung in circles of water, and what they didn't know was that in addition to the waves, there was also a floating phantom in the water.
Suddenly, there was a mutation in the passage ahead, only to hear a plop from the front, Zhao Ruozhi and the others raised their vigilance, and no one knew what was lurking around.
There was a bend in front of him, and Ge Diyan controlled the raft to turn gracefully, and the scene in front of him shocked the other three.
I saw that this was a larger space, and the space was covered with spike-like stalagmites, and occasionally, sporadic stalagmites would fall. After tens of millions of years of growth, those stalagmites were unbearable, and finally they couldn't stand the temptation to break free and fell off.
Ge Diyan seemed to be very familiar with this place, and she said, "Don't let those stalagmites smash up." Everyone understood what she meant, if the stalagmite hit the raft, it was likely to penetrate the raft, and the four of them could only swim at that time.
Sha Dutian and Lu Shui kept an eye on the stalagmites above their heads, Zhao Ruozhi couldn't help at all, he took over Ge Yanyan's position and controlled the direction of the raft.
Zhao Ruozhi is very strange, nature is really strange, such a big hollow, without any support, it has not collapsed.
Suddenly, Lu Shui screamed and fell into the water.
No one knew what was going on, Zhao Ruozhi could still control the direction of the raft, and he jumped into the water as soon as possible.
Although Lu Shuiyi fell into the water, the light on her body continued to work, and the water here was very clear, and she could see everything in the water at a glance.
Sha Dutian was shocked, and he clearly saw several lizards swimming in the water.
After jumping into the water, the icy cold water froze Zhao Ruozhi all over his body, but he didn't care much, and rushed straight to Lu Shui, he was surprised to find that there were several phantoms swimming in the water, he didn't dare to stop, and accelerated his speed.
Finally, she grabbed Lu Shuiyi's arm.
Before falling into the water, Lu Shuiyi's attention was all on the top of his head, and no one thought that there would be a lizard in the water to attack suddenly. The lizard jumped out of the water and bit Lu Shuiyi's calf directly, and then it flipped violently, and Lu Shui stumbled one by one and fell into the water.
At the same time that Zhao Ruozhi grabbed Lu Shuiyi, Lu Shuiyi pulled out his saber, the resistance in the water was quite large, and she swung it away, but she didn't kill the lizard.
Seeing that something was wrong, the lizard sent a mouth that bit Lu Shui's calf and fled in a hurry.
As soon as Zhao Ruozhi pulled Lu Shui to the surface, Lu Shui's expression was solemn, it seemed that the injury was not light, and the leg she was bitten couldn't even move.
Zhao Ruozhi hugged her legs, and Sha Dutian helped on it, and finally got Lu Shuiyi on the raft. There was a fluctuation, and he suddenly felt bad, and just as he was quickly climbing onto the raft, a lizard bit his backpack, and Sha Dutian had just freed his hands before he had time to help, and he was buried in the water again.
Zhao Ruozhi panicked, just now he jumped down without hesitation because he was worried about Lu Shuiyi's comfort, but now he was the only one in the water, and he suddenly felt fear.
Suddenly, the surface of the water was turbid, Zhao Ruozhi didn't know what was happening, he quickly surfaced, and it was strange that those lizards didn't attack him again.
It turned out that Ge Diyan didn't know what she had sprinkled in the water, and the lizards seemed to be very frightened and quickly left the place.
Zhao Ruozhi finally climbed onto the raft, his teeth cracked and cracked in the cold, his hands were clenched, his lips were purple, and it was estimated that he was not lightly frozen.
Lu Shui frowned tightly, Ge Diyan opened her storehouse, there were several deep tooth marks on her white and delicate calves, and the skin near the wound was already black, it was obvious that she had been poisoned.
"We must find the antidote within four hours, otherwise..."
Zhao Ruozhi said angrily: "What? Four hours, what will take to heal her leg? Also, you've been here before, so why didn't you tell us in advance that there were creatures like this? If anything happens to her, Iā" He was momentarily furious, and his words were out of proportion.
For Zhao Ruozhi's anger, Ge Yiyan didn't take it to heart, she said: "Fortunately, she has taken the Turbid Ice Fruit, and it is the first time I have seen such a creature, only night ginseng that is more than a hundred years old can relieve the poison on her legs, but now how can I find such ginseng is a big problem."
Zhao Ruozhi said excitedly: "Ginseng? I've got it here. He took out the ginseng he had just pulled out of the wall and continued, "Is this okay?"
Ge Diyan showed a surprised expression and said, "This ginseng has a hundred years of fire, it's completely okay."
Zhao Ruozhi said happily: "That's good, that's good."
Sha Dutian was puzzled: "Mentally retarded, where did you get this ginseng?"
Zhao Ruozhi said: "Just when we came down, I picked it from the wall."
Ge Diyan took out an ancient knife, cut the ginseng, and then broke it and put it on Lu Shuiyi's calf, she took out another piece of gauze and wrapped it around it.
Lu Shuiyi had lost consciousness, and in a trance, she felt pain, and the baby snorted a few times.
"If she can feel pain, it means that the medicine has worked, and she can fully recover after two hours."
Ge Diyan continued: "Ginseng that is more than 100 years old has spirituality, and these lizards are probably coveting its benefits, and now that you have snatched it, everyone will be angry."
Zhao Ruozhi thought of this on the wall, otherwise there would not have been a lizard suddenly attacking, it seems that Lu Shuiyi was injured or his pot.
Lu Shuiyi, who was in a coma, had a slight look of pain between her eyebrows, but there was a sweet smile at the corner of her beautiful mouth, presumably before she lost consciousness, she had already seen her beloved jumping desperately, that warm hand, is it the love extended by her beloved? If you die like this, should you be satisfied?
