Chapter 335: Island (1)
If an ant can grow to the size of a human, it will be no different from a wild animal. Several people ran forward without their lives, but the two legs were not as good as the eight legs behind them, and they were chased and separated by the corpses in the blink of an eye.
The strong smell of blood spread in the jungle, and everyone squatted on the surrounding trees to watch this scene, glad that they had not stepped forward. Gongsun Lan slowly got up from the branches, the sound of the leaves startled everyone with goosebumps, and a bearded man said nervously: "Boy, don't make a sound!" What do you do if that thing hears it?! β
A middle-aged man dressed as a scholar said disdainfully: "Hey, it's rare and weird, just now those few people are about to stick to its face, and it will react." This spider-like thing has no sense of hearing, and attracts prey with the light of its eyes. β
The bearded beard pouted, and he was about to speak, Gongsun Lan frowned and said, "Don't make noise, this thing hasn't moved in place, and the squeak is afraid that it is calling for companions to come over and share food." What's more, such a big smell of blood will definitely attract other beasts, so let's get out of here quickly. β
When everyone heard this, their nerves tensed again and they looked around. Thirty-two of them came in, and in the blink of an eye there were twenty-five left. Don't dare to be careless!
Gongsun Lan stood on the tree and listened in the distance, and said, "Follow me." β
The trees in front of them grew taller and taller, and the vines were almost the thickness of a man's thigh, and from time to time you would see large patches of mushrooms that shimmered with silver light, no doubt poisonous. This time, everyone had a long memory, and they didn't dare to touch the things here at all, and followed Ji Erlan all the way, eager to step on her footprints.
After walking for about a stick of incense, Gongsun Lan suddenly stopped, picked up a handful of soft soil from the ground with thin leather gloves and smelled it, then turned around, grabbed the soil and sniffed it, and said, "Hundred years of Seocho." β
Seocho is Ganoderma lucidum, but the value of Ganoderma lucidum and Ganoderma lucidum is also different, like this kind of long in the mountains, nourished by the sun and rain for a hundred years, it can be called the Ganoderma lucidum in Ganoderma lucidum, and it is hard to find. And those who are qualified to be called Seocho have become the best of the climate, and they are even better, and their value is difficult to measure in money.
So when everyone heard her say "Seocho", they couldn't help but hold their breath!
Gongsun Lan took the torch and poked forward, and sure enough, he saw a round canopy under several nearby trees, the smallest one was the size of a palm, and the color was bright. The wine and meat monk smiled and said, "It seems that no one has been to this island for nearly a hundred years. β
Since the opening of the sea ban by Yasukuni, maritime trade has become more and more prosperous, and in addition to sea transportation, there are still many caravans who like to go to sea to explore, and if they are lucky, they can bring back many rare treasures on the island. However, due to limited experience, the risk is too high and there are many limitations. There is no clear destination for the trip to the sea, and whether or not you can meet the island depends on luck.
Gongsun Lan said: "In the time of a cup of tea, it depends on your own ability to find a few plants." A word of warning, if you are greedy and chew more, don't have a life to earn and no life to spend. β
Everyone looked at each other, and they all took their torches and walked towards the woods in front of them. Nangong Hai likes to refine medicine, so naturally he will not let go of the opportunity to pick Ruicao, and he has to follow everyone when he moves. Gongsun Lan pulled him by the hand, slightly deviated from the direction and walked forward. Yang Zhen saw that she was about to hold a sword and cut the vines in front of her, so he stopped and said, "Be careful, let me come." β
Zhan Lu's sword sharpens iron like clay, and it is not a problem in the thick vines. But the vines here were very dense, and it really took a lot of effort to clear out in front of him, and then, Nangong Hai saw at a glance something the size of an umbrella cover, casting a shadow under the roots of a very thick tree.
He hurriedly took the torch and shone it, and said in surprise: "This is ...... Millennial Qingzhi? β
Gongsun Lan said: "There are no thousand years, there are eight hundred. I haven't been to this island for a hundred years, but the Lingzhi I saw is not too big, so I guessed that there was a Zhizhi King nearby. Although Qingzhi is not the best among Ganoderma lucidum, this strain has been cherished. Move fast, we'll have to find something else. β
Nangong Hai walked towards the Qingzhi without saying a word, but a vine clinging to the trunk of the tree suddenly moved, rushing towards him with lightning speed! It turned out to be a blue-and-black python with a thick bowl mouth! Nangong Hai reacted well, his light skills were superb, and he quickly retreated, Gongsun Lan didn't say a word when he saw this, and the bone knife that had been prepared in his sleeve suddenly struck, instantly stabbing into the seven inches of the snake and nailing it to the trunk.
Nangong Hai was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and glared angrily: "Dead girl, you already knew that there was something near this Qingzhi, didn't you?" Don't even say a word to the old way! β
Gongsun Lan said with a smile: "All beasts have spirituality, how can such a good thing be guarded?" Besides, whether you tell it or not, you are the last person to pick Lingzhi. β
Nangong Hai choked, glanced at Yang Zheng, who was standing in place and didn't move, and secretly scolded himself in his heart for being so naΓ―ve!
A few people stepped on Qingzhi and wrapped it in cloth, put it in the bamboo basket behind them, and turned back to meet those people. Sure enough, someone didn't come back within a cup of tea. Gongsun Lan looked at the person who came back and said coldly, "Let's continue to move forward." β
Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't speak. If you don't understand the rules, you have to bear the consequences. Everyone is responsible for their words and actions, not for others to do for them! But everyone was also surprised that this little boy who didn't seem to be very old really did what he said and left no room for anything.
The group hadn't taken a few steps before they heard heart-rending screams in the distance, which didn't sound close. The bearded man said, "Someone must have gone too far beyond this boundary." β
Animals are more inclined than humans to divide their chassis and never violate them. The place where Gongsun Lan took them was the chassis of a fierce beast, and generally there would be no other things, as long as the overlord of this place was solved as soon as possible, they would be able to pick the treasures grown in this field with peace of mind.
"There's the sound of water ahead." Gongsun Lan walked a few steps quickly, and saw a large open space in front of him, and a waterhole in the center, which was still dark in the moonlight, like a big black hole. Around the waterhole grows this large area of evening primrose, the flower only blooms at night, when it is in full bloom, giving off a faint fragrance.
Gongsun Lan took the lead and walked forward, and saw that the evening primrose here grew very tall, twice as tall as usual. She picked up a stone and threw it at the flowers, and everyone instantly heard a "buzz", and a black cloud immediately rose from the flowers, gathering together and changing shape quickly.
Gongsun Lan hurriedly lit the black-streaked grass picked on the road, and as soon as the smoke came out, the movements of the group of black clouds slowly filled up, and they flew away in the distance for a while.
Everyone looked at her in amazement, not knowing where she got this knowledge from, along the way, they simply regarded Gongsun Lan as a master in the world. But they didn't know that Gongsun Lan was originally a master of the world......
"Underneath the evening primrose, there is a hive left by the native bees. Go move a few back, this thing can prolong life. β
When the people heard this, they hurriedly complied. Gongsun Lan also said: "The stone that shines by the pool is a luminous stone. β
Everyone was stunned, and suddenly they were in a hurry, for fear that they would not move fast enough.
Yang Wei asked in a low voice, "What we are looking for is in this pool?" β
"Well, there should be one here."
Nangong Hai said: "Uh...... I'm not good at water......"
Gongsun Lan glared at him and said to Yang Zheng, "I'll go down alone." β
Yang Zhen frowned and looked at her, and she explained: "It's not difficult to find water fireflies, it's just that there is a kind of water snake that likes to eat it very much, and it's more difficult to grab it...... Rest assured, I'm good at water and won't be in much danger. You stay on the shore with the old man of all life, and don't be on guard around here, for there may be wild beasts coming to hear the noise. β
Yang Wei squeezed Gongsun Lan's hand, frowned and looked at her, and didn't speak.
Gongsun Lan knew that he had exposed too many things this time, so he only lowered his eyes and said, "When the time comes, I will tell you everything." β
Yang Zhen was silent for a long time, and finally couldn't bear to persecute her: "Okay." β
Gongsun Lan nodded at him, unloaded the package and sword on his body, leaving only the porcelain bottle and bone knife for collecting medicine in his hand, and jumped into the waterhole.
The water is cool, but it doesn't feel cold. She took out the night pearl in her arms and held it in her hand, and did not go to the middle of the pool, but carefully searched around along the wall of the pool.
The faint and gentle light of the night pearl illuminated his body, and Gongsun Lan saw at a glance that there was a small thin blade of grass floating in the water in front of him, and the veins of the leaves were covered with bright spots. She was overjoyed, she didn't expect to be so lucky! I just got out of the water and found the water fireflies!
The roots of the firefly grass are rooted in the soft soil of the pond wall, as long as you are careful not to touch the roots, otherwise, the roots of the firefly will quickly wither even in the water.
She slowly swam towards the fireflies, ready to pick, but at this moment, something in the wall of the pool arched, poked her head out, bit the firefly grass and shrank back and disappeared!
Gongsun Lan spit out a bubble angrily! I had to take the Night Pearl and continue to look for it.
In fact, the Night Pearl is not used to find water fireflies, but to prevent danger from approaching silently. Without light, it would be difficult to detect danger in the pitch black waterhole.
Gongsun Lan swam along the wall of the pond for a while without seeing a single firefly plant, floated to the surface of the water to catch his breath, identified the direction, and plunged back into the water to continue searching. After tossing seven or eight times, I saw the water firefly gently floating in the water, shining with a faint light, and it was two!
She gritted her teeth and swam quickly, thinking to herself that she must not let the backwater snake take the lead this time.
She used the bone knife to gently peel off the surrounding soil, and the water firefly grass gradually revealed the roots inside, and at the moment when she took the grass, the soil arched again, she squinted her eyes, and stabbed the bone knife straight through, and a small amount of blood immediately spread out of the soil.
Gongsun Lan frowned, quickly picked the two fireflies and put them in a porcelain bottle, and hurriedly floated to the surface of the water.
However, there was already a huge black shadow behind him swimming towards this side!
