Chapter 139: Into the Valley
When I watched the situation in the sky from the Xuanguang Mirror, I still didn't feel how dangerous it was, and after Jinyu used all his strength to use the magic weapon and spent more than three hours tearing out a crack in the barrier and sending me in, I felt that I had really overestimated my strength, and I regretted it in my heart.
Raising my head, I looked at the dark, dense woods in front of me, the visual range obscured by the vast white fog was not more than five miles away, and in addition to the unknown cries of birds and beasts, there was only the cold sound of the wind, which made my face hurt and my heart astringent.
I took a deep breath and carefully observed my surroundings as I lifted my legs and walked slowly forward with some difficulty over the knee-deep, dense weeds.
Originally, I was worried about spiritual cultivation so I impulsively entered the first line of heaven, but I didn't expect to walk for a long time and didn't see any living creatures, let alone find spiritual cultivation, the environment here makes people feel like they don't know how much land they occupy, and the road ahead seems to never end. And I could see that it was getting darker and darker, and that night was coming down on the valley at any moment, and my heart was getting more and more panicked.
First, I don't have any tools in my hands to protect myself, and secondly, there are many beasts in the deep forest, Jinyu said that because this place is the back mountain of the Wuling Valley, it is the only mountain range adjacent to the outside world, and the aura is particularly strong, which attracts many demons and monsters to sneak into the mountains to cultivate, and with the help of the aura of this place to increase cultivation, so the Wu clan will set this place as a place for competitions.
To put it simply, this competition is not only to elect candidates for the patriarch of the Wu clan, but also to give the three strongest teenagers a chance to practice, no matter how high the mana is, no matter how strong the ability, there is always no actual combat experience to learn faster, so I thought of the blue-scaled beast I saw earlier, and my scalp began to tingle.
Hurry up, I was going to find a place in the open place to make a fire, rest for a while and then make plans, fortunately before coming in, Jinyu lent me the treasure bag tied around her waist for free, after coming in, I roughly flipped through it, there are some daily necessities, such as fire folds, salt, string, realgar powder and knives used to cut meat, etc., these are essential tools for survival in the wild, thanks to her at all times, otherwise I would really call the heavens should not be, and the earth will not work.
From a distance, I saw a clearing in front of me, and the towering ancient trees around were far away, and there were inevitably more gaps between the branches and leaves, and the faint light was projected from between the gaps, which seemed much brighter than the surroundings. I was secretly happy in my heart, and when I quickened my pace and planned to go over to rest first, I heard the sound of "sizzling" next to me, and I paused to pause, and I couldn't help but turn my head to look.
It turned out that in the grass next to the right hand, I don't know when the head of a thin snake poked out, the snake was fiery red as if dyed with blood, and my figure was clearly reflected in the ruby-like eyes.
I didn't dare to move easily, lest I provoke it and attract a bite, and I couldn't be sure whether its saliva was poisonous or not, so I could only endure the trembling in my heart, and quietly reached out with a very slow movement and took out the realgar powder and the knife for cutting meat from the treasure bag tied around my waist.
Secretly pulling out the knife, I quickly glanced down, the blade is only nine inches long, the blade is extremely thin, like willow leaves, it can really only be used to cut fruits, where can I save my life?
I couldn't help but sigh, it seems that the decision to enter this place was really wrong, I'm afraid that I have died here before I have found the spiritual cultivator, how can I save people?
Fortunately, the blood snake was just staring at me, and had no intention of biting immediately, and it seemed that it was also guarding against me, and it might not attack for a short time! With a wry smile, I had no other way but to confront the blood snake, seeing that the sky was getting a little darker, and the surrounding light was gradually darkening, my whole body was stiff, and I felt that my blood was about to be frozen by the cold here, when I heard the roar of a beast from nowhere, a roar, a sound, startled the birds fluttering, and the little beasts jumped around!
The deathly silence was suddenly broken, and the blood snake seemed to endure to the limit, and sprang at me with a sizzle.
When people encounter the danger of life, there is no time to be afraid, I only feel that the red shadow flashes in front of me, and when something rushes towards me, I have no time to think at all, while using my left hand to raise the yellow powder cloth bag that has been secretly opened, the bright yellow powder is flying all over the sky, I have seen the target, and the thin knife in my right hand quickly stroked out with all the power in my wrist!
There was a snort, the sound of a blade piercing through the flesh resounded through my eardrums, and in my eyes I could clearly see the blood-red liquid spilling on my face, and I retreated in panic, tripped over a stone under my feet, and my body fell uncontrollably to the ground.
Fortunately, the weeds on the ground were thick and dense, and when my body fell backwards, I didn't feel very painful, but the wound on my right arm inevitably cracked open again, and it hurt my heart. But I didn't have time to think too much, remembering that the blood snake just now happened to be cut by the knife in my hand, and blood was splashed everywhere, and I didn't know if the blood-colored liquid was poisonous or not, whether it would splash on my body, so I quickly got up and looked at it quickly.
The Blood Serpent lay motionless in the middle of the meadow, and seemed to have been slain by me.
The blood-red liquid flowing from its body stained a patch of grass at my feet, but fortunately the blood was not poisonous, and the blades of grass did not wither, I felt a little at ease, and looked down at the black boots I was wearing were also stained with some snake blood, and they had dried up and could not be wiped off, so I could only frown and go around the snake corpse and continue to walk towards the open space in front of me.
During this short journey, I realized that Fang Cai's situation was really dangerous, and if I had slashed the throat of the blood snake without cutting it, it would have wrapped itself around my body and bitten me a few times, and I remembered the feeling of a soft animal crawling on my body, and my stomach churned uncontrollably, and I almost vomited.
As I expected, there was indeed a clearing 100 meters ahead, and the grass here seemed to have been deliberately trimmed, the grass blades were very shallow, and at first glance it looked like a green lawn, which was really an excellent place to recuperate.
I was overjoyed, so I found a clearing with a shallow lawn, picked up some slightly dry branches and stacked them around, blew a fire to make a fire, and sat down by the fire to start a warm house.
When the flames churned like a snake dance, the sky was completely dark, and the four fields could not see anything clearly, except for a few occasional cries of birds and beasts from the depths of the woods, and the silence was terrifying.
I hugged my bent knees with my arms, and even though I was enveloped in flames, I couldn't help but tremble.
The dense forest is deep, and the temperature is inevitably lower than the outside world.
The first time I survived alone in the ancient forest, it was of course false to say that I was not afraid, and at this time and that time, I didn't have to expect any miracles, let alone Ling Kai falling from the sky to save me from danger again, the only thing I could rely on was myself!
