Chapter 231: The Witch and Ghost Forest

In his mind, he still remembered the teachings of the Protector of Yunshan, and when a person has the corresponding ability, his responsibility will be equally heavy. Zhang Liangsheng knew that this was a responsibility he should bear, and it was also a risk that he should not escape.

It took a few days, and after arriving in the Underworld Valley, Zhang Liangsheng had the qualifications of a celestial burial master, and sure enough, that special enchantment could not cause him trouble. And after entering with the Tibetan Silver Fairy, the Tibetan Silver Fairy also put forward the idea of parting ways.

At this time, Zhang Liangsheng felt a little strange in his heart, and he had been with the Tibetan Silver Fairy for many years, so when the Tibetan Silver Fairy had something to hide from him, Zhang Liangsheng would basically find out. This time, the expression of the silver fairy looked a little weird.

But out of trust in the Tibetan Silver Fairy, Zhang Liangsheng did not refuse the proposal of the Tibetan Silver Fairy, so the two began to part ways and made an appointment to meet after a while. Zhang Liangsheng was looking for a lot of herbs this time, and one of them was a medicinal herb called Shura Grass.

If you want to divide it by category, it is a highly toxic herb, and most of the rhizomes are exposed to the ground, and only a huge seed is buried in the ground.

The flowers of Shura grass are useless, and the special fragrance emitted by them is a kind of psychedelic effect for both humans and demons, Zhang Liangsheng has long known this, so his body is also full of purifying power.

With the purification attribute, the aura on Zhang Liangsheng's body was automatically transformed into the aura cover of the purification attribute, and the defensive ability of this aura cover was not only greatly improved, but also the consumption was reduced, and the flexibility was also greatly enhanced.

The location of the Shura Grass that Zhang Liangsheng was looking for happened to be in a dark swamp, this place was called the Witch Ghost Forest, and anyone who knew a little bit about the Witch Valley would know how dangerous it was.

Unlike other places, the Witch Valley is full of birds and flowers, and the colorful scenery of falling flowers disappears here as if it were completely dead, replaced by an eerie atmosphere that is almost unaffected by day and night.

The location of the Witch Forest is also very subtle, it happens to be at the junction of the core area and the periphery, and this place, like a naturally formed dividing line between the core and the periphery, completely divides the two places in two with a strange black-purple mist.

At the junction of the core and the periphery on the southeast side of the Stygian Valley is a large, clear lake, a freshwater lake and a very important place to provide water for the creatures of the Stygian Valley.

The Witch Forest is located on the northwest side, in a valley, and the black-purple mist covers almost the entire basin, where all kinds of strange-shaped plants grow.

Before going to the Underworld Valley, Zhang Liangsheng also read all the records and books about the Underworld Valley in the Yunxi Academy, which mentioned this Underworld Witch Forest many times.

And one of the most mentioned points is that you should never approach this area easily, no one knows what strange things will happen. It is said that even the demon spirits in the core area will rarely take the initiative to travel through this area.

Because for them, this is also a very dangerous place, and they don't want to take the initiative to get into trouble for themselves. Therefore, even the demon spirits that inhabit the core area near here will take the initiative to bypass this place when it comes to acting at night.

The reason why the Witch Forest is almost unaffected by day and night is that it is illuminated by the light. For example, the surface and bottom of the lake, shallow water is affected by sunlight, but when you reach the depths, it is pitch black, and the light can no longer penetrate the bottom of the water.

And the Witch Forest is probably the same principle - the plants here are all very peculiar, and the densely branched strange-shaped plants hold up the branches and leaves high, blocking the sun.

Moreover, no matter how classified these plants are, they all have the same characteristics, that is, most of the plants in the Witch Forest will spit out a purple gas.

This gas has a faint toxicity, and it is difficult for the burial master to have an effect on the burial master who has more than three burial days, but this concept is also doubtful, and it is clearly written in the record.

Because, no undertaker has tried to stay in this Witch Forest for a long time, maybe there is, but those people may not survive smoothly, so the advice given in the record is that if there are herbs that need to be collected in this place, collect them as soon as possible and leave, otherwise, the situation will definitely become more and more dangerous after a long time.

The reason why the plants here are so toxic seems to be because of the problem with the soil here.

This time, Zhang Liangsheng came here with a sense of curiosity. It didn't take long for him to walk inside, and he felt the dark atmosphere that was written in the book.

Now, the sky has not completely darkened, but it seems that it has fallen into a silent night, and there is a faint purple mist floating in the void, as if observing Zhang Liangsheng's ghost, slowly drifting, surrounding Zhang Liangsheng.

Zhang Liangsheng collected some soil on the ground, the soil here is more sparse than the loess and black soil outside, close to powder, the grain is very weak, and it is also very wet, and this is probably an important reason why there are many swamps in the Witch Ghost Forest.

Once this soil starts to experience a lot of rainfall, the soil will melt quickly, and some places that are not conducive to rainwater evaporation will become swamps over time.

Zhang Liangsheng felt that he hadn't gone too deep, but he had already discovered at least five swamps of considerable scale, and two of them were very obscure, if it weren't for Zhang Liangsheng's three souls and seven spirits being powerful, maybe he wouldn't have been able to perceive it, and he had already stepped into it.

Why this and a strange place appeared, no one really knows whether to investigate, but it is a fact that there are many medicinal herbs worth collecting here.

Whether it is a burial master or a simple spirit warrior, this Witch and Ghost Forest is a rare and good place for them to collect precious medicinal herbs.

Of course, according to the characteristics of the Witch Ghost Forest, most of the herbs here are highly poisonous, and if ordinary people collect this herb, it is not a problem to use it as a highly poisonous poison.

Especially for plants with large foliage, in general, this plant is easier to collect, but it also contains the most toxins. The plants that carry more toxins than the plants produced by this giant Witch Forest are those that are highly camouflaged.

Those plants that are highly camouflaged, although camouflage can be seen as a mechanism of self-protection, can actually be seen as a sign of attack.

In particular, those camouflage poisonous weeds with parasitic properties, the reason why this parasitic plant has to be camouflaged, and it is also camouflaged as those less toxic and harmless plants, is to be able to be directly swallowed by living organisms.

Of course, if it is like the undertaker, it is almost impossible to swallow these plants raw, and they usually take these things and grind them, and then grind them into medicinal powder or refine them directly.

The real targets of this disguised parasitic plant are usually demons and humans who don't know how to bury them. Once swallowed alive in the body, these poisonous weeds with the aura of heaven and earth will instinctively suck the essence and blood in the body of the living beings, until the end, the end is usually very miserable.

There are several disagreements about this miserable end, one is to directly suck the human stem, and then the plant is separated from the human body, and after absorbing the nutrients, it grows to the next stage or begins to latent again.

Or they plant a seed and disappear after they are finished. If you encounter this kind of fate, it's actually good, after all, at least it's not worse than death.

And the other situation is a more terrifying situation, encountering this kind of plant that will cause this kind of vicious result, it is really a life worse than death ending - this situation will be manipulated by parasitic plants.

This plant usually possesses a violent neurotoxin that can produce intense hallucinations and even paralyze the human will. If it is a burial master with strong three souls and seven spirits, maybe he can still resist, but if it is a weaker one with three souls and seven spirits, and encounters a highly poisonous parasitic poisonous weed, then the end will be very miserable.

Controlled by the plant, it will live like a living dead, and this state will continue until the plant has completely absorbed the nutrients and found the next host.

Moreover, if the host is a woman, it is much less difficult to exchange hosts, because the exchange of bodily fluids is the easiest way to exchange hosts.

Usually, people whose consciousness is manipulated, after hallucinating because of the large amount of toxins released by poisonous weeds, will subconsciously choose to act in the direction that is beneficial to the parasitic plant.

This behavior is also called hypnotic action by people who specialize in this highly toxic plant. In other words, the state of a person who is parasitized by a highly poisonous plant and then manipulated is very similar to that of a person who is hypnotized.

Zhang Liangsheng walked inside, thinking about the malignant plant in his mind—he didn't know how much he had read before heading to the Stygian Witch Valley.

This is what Zhang Liangsheng has always done, when he went to cultivate, he also made enough preparations to go, not like a reckless man, after all, sharpening knives is not wrong to chop wood, people must have arrogant bones, but arrogant bones are not ignorant.

Regarding the problem of those malignant camouflage parasitic plants, Zhang Liangsheng also felt that his scalp was a little numb when he thought about it, and he couldn't help but show a slight wry smile - because this time, the Shura grass he was going to collect actually belonged to this kind of malignant camouflage parasitic plants.

There is a lot of information about the herb Shura grass recorded in the books, and its true appearance has been vividly drawn, but the problem is that seeing the true face of Shura grass cannot help Zhang Liangsheng find the Shura grass this time.

For no other reason, in this Dark Witch and Ghost Forest, the Shura Grass will never exist in its true form, but will be disguised in the form of other plants.

Looking down, the ground was full of purple, dark green plants that seemed to wither and rot.

The plants here seem to have gone to extremes, and none of them are decent.

Either the sky rises, and the huge half-curved leaves obscure a large area of the sky, and the sunlight is almost very difficult to squeeze to the ground, bringing a glimmer of light.
