Chapter 15 - Phantom Grass Workshop

The moment the cloth bag was opened, a stream of powder with a strange fragrance and a ghostly light sprayed out of the bag, Ji Muyan hurriedly threw away the cloth bag in his hand, covered his mouth and nose and quickly swept back for a distance, and then in the cloth bag thrown away by Chi Muyan, a few blue and charming flowers rolled out. The moment Chi Muyan threw away the cloth bag, he recognized this strange flower, which was a unique plant in a region north of the isolated village at the entrance of the desert - Phantom Grass.

A large amount of phantom grass pollen can cause people and animals to hallucinate, and even coma and death. Its flowers are processed and ground once they are contaminated by humans and animals, they will be addicted, although its original solution has been diluted with millions of times more water, it has the function of relieving pain, but it is recognized by various ethnic groups as a poisonous plant that is prohibited from circulation and trade.

Now in this cave, there are so many raw materials and processing tools for phantom grass flowers, it is simply a hidden processing factory, and there must be some shocking conspiracy brewing here.

When Chi Muyan was about to burn these phantom grasses with a fire, he suddenly heard a human whimper coming from behind these stacked sacks, so he covered his mouth and nose again and spared behind those cloth bags.

Behind the cloth bag leaned on a person with round mouse ears on the top of his head, because the fluorescent lamp on the wall was too dim, Chi Muyan didn't see the person's appearance clearly in the distance, but felt that the person's popularity was like a gossamer, and when he walked in and saw the person's face clearly, Chi Muyan's face turned pale, and he hurriedly rushed over to help the person up.

Ji Muyan carried him away from the cloth bags containing phantom grass, found a relatively clean ground, and asked him to sit against the cave wall, and the man immediately opened his eyes.

When Chi Muyan saw that he had woken up, he asked, "Zhao Meng, why are you here? Didn't you say that there were three of you who escaped?"

Zhao Meng also recognized Chi Muyan, who had met Chi Muyan when Chi Muyan went to Lingjian Mountain to practice. So Zhao Meng spoke weakly and told Chi Muyan intermittently what happened after the three of them jumped off the cliff.

It turned out that it was Hong Jiu'er and Hong Shiyan who were pulled by Zhao Meng to jump off the cliff that day. Although Zhao Meng had tried to climb up the shallows in the dark river, the water was too fast, and his hands had to hold on to the two unconscious fellow disciples to prevent them from being swept away by the current, so several attempts failed. In this way, they didn't know how long they had been washed in the dark river, and finally arrived at an open shoal, it was late at night, and there was no one around, so Zhao Meng could only use the last bit of strength in his body to drag the two fellow doors to the shore.

Hong Jiu'er and Zhao Meng are both small spirit clans, and Zhao Meng, as a man, is naturally no problem dragging her, but Hong Shiyan is a huge and burly dragon clan, and it is not easy for Zhao Meng to drag him. But in the end, Zhao Meng reluctantly dragged him to the shore, and he was exhausted and carried away by the current.

When Zhao Meng woke up again, it was already early the next morning, and he found himself lying in the medical hall of Juyan Village, only to know that he had been washed up by the current to the shore of Juyan, and recalled that the shoal that dragged them up last night seemed to be the fishing village south of the Black Forest, so he immediately set off to that fishing village despite the old doctor's objections.

However, when Zhao Meng rushed to the fishing village through the Black Forest, the wound on his back suddenly hurt excruciatingly, and he had to climb into this cave. After entering the cave, he saw the rows of cloth bags, he wanted to rest on the cloth bags for a while before continuing to hurry, who knew that when he approached these cloth bags, smelling the strange fragrance coming from the cloth bags, the pain on his body seemed to be reduced a lot, and his consciousness began to become more and more blurred, and it didn't take long for him to fall asleep. When I woke up again, it was the scene of meeting Chi Muyan.

After listening to Zhao Meng's story, Chi Muyan helped him up and checked the injuries behind him.

More than a dozen sword wounds on Zhao Meng's back have all turned black at this time, together with the blackened blood vessels on his back, like a net woven by black vines, covering Zhao Meng's body, although the blood vessels in other parts of his body have not erupted, they have all turned black, and several deep wounds are still overflowing black gas.

Chi Muyan concluded in his heart that this must be the result of being eroded by the demonic energy of the water demon, and if he didn't evolve it quickly, the consequences would be unimaginable, so Chi Muyan immediately opened a portal in the same place and walked in with Zhao Meng in his arms.

After walking out of Chi Muyan's portal again, Zhao Meng found that they had come to another cave, but this cave was more spacious and clean.

So Zhao Meng opened his mouth and asked Chi Muyan, "What kind of place is this?"

Chi Muyan first found a piece of dry flat land, let Zhao Mengping lie on the ground to expose the wound behind his back, and then while drawing a huge purification circle around him, he replied: "This is the cave in the mountain behind Yansong Temple, I came here once a few years ago, and made a teleportation mark here in case of emergency, and now it is just right to use." ”

After speaking, he made a very helpless expression again, and continued: "Thanks to the president, I have even been visited by people on my last trip to the thatched house these days, and I want to bring you over quietly, but I can't open the teleportation array." ”

Zhao Meng was shocked when he heard this, "Aren't you afraid that those who are following you will also follow us into your portal?"

Chi Muyan smiled, "It's okay, my cloud lion is still guarding the entrance of that cave, and they don't dare to approach." ”

At the same time, in a bush far away from the entrance of the secret processing plant, two people were squatting, staring at the sleeping cloud lion who was blocking the hole with his body.

"Eh, why didn't that little ghost come out after going in for so long? Did you slip through the other exits inside?"

"You're stupid, if you want to slip away, can he not take that cloud lion with him? That thing even sells for millions of gold coins on the black market!"

"Then why hasn't he come out yet? Why don't we go over and have a look?"

"If you want to die yourself, it's a cloud lion! Just our small body is not enough for the big-headed dog to stuff his teeth. ”

The cloud lion in the distance suddenly sneezed, and the two people in the frightened bushes quickly stopped talking, the cloud lion raised his head, glanced around, shook the lion's mane on his neck, and continued to lie down and sleep with his eyes closed.

The next morning, when the two people in the bushes were still leaning on each other and dreaming, the cloud lion opened his eyes, then stood up, put his head at the entrance of the cave, sniffed into the cave, until a hand was stretched out in the cave, and gently patted it on the nose, it got up and retreated excitedly, and then Chi Muyan walked out of the cave.

Yun Shi happily rubbed on him again, he turned over and jumped on Yun Shi's back, let it run as fast as possible, Yun Shi has been limited in speed for the past few days, and now he can finally let go of running, naturally he is also in a good mood, and when the two people who had just woken up in the bushes did not react, they disappeared from their sight with Chi Muyan in tow.

Yun Shi happily ran at full speed, but Chi Muyan on Yun Shi's back couldn't be happy. Because it took him a whole night to purify the demonic qi on Zhao Meng's body, and when he sent a spiritual letter to ask Cang Lan, the reply he was waiting for was not from Cang Lan, but a strange invitation letter sent by someone I don't know.

"If you don't want to be watched all the time, go to the cliff behind the giant rock station. ”

The Giant Rock Station is the headquarters of the various chambers of commerce in the Dragon Forest, and it is also the location of one of the branches of the War Dragon Tooth Guild, Hollow Valley. The Giant Rock Station faces the Yulong Sea, and on the back is a cliff formed by the accumulation of many layers of boulders, and the top of the cliff is an open clearing.

Chi Mu* and the cloud lion soon arrived at the giant rock station, and the cloud lion quickly climbed the layers of accumulated boulders, carrying Chi Muyan to the open space on the top of the cliff.

At this time, it was almost noon, and there was a sea breeze blowing slowly on the cliff, and a man dressed as a black-clothed swordsman was sitting on the edge of the cliff humming a little song to bask in the sun.

Yun Shi stopped not far away, the man heard the movement behind him, and slowly turned his head to look at Chi Muyan, with a smile on his face.

"Chi Muyan, I thought you wouldn't dare to come. ”

Chi Muyan turned over and got off the cloud lion, and also put on an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, "Since you dare to invite, why don't I dare to come?" But if you invite me over, it won't be to accompany you to watch the scenery and bask in the sun, right? ”

Pu Yangli was not surprised to be recognized by him, but stood up with a smile, "It is worthy of being the city lord of Phantom Wing City, he has only been remembered once in person, and he will not dare to do any bad things in the future." ”

Before the words fell, Pu Yangli suddenly pulled out the sword on his waist and stabbed straight at Chi Muyan, Chi Muyan dodged a little and easily dodged, and the cloud lion beside him saw that his master was attacked, and immediately roared angrily, stretched out the tip of his sharp claws, and raised his huge lion claws to shoot towards Pu Yangli. Pu Yangli retreated sharply backwards to dodge, and when the cloud lion saw that the blow missed, he jumped again, and threw Pu Yangli to the ground and pressed it under his claws.

Pu Yangli was lying on the ground, his sword was crossed in front of his chest to block Yun Shi's sharp lion claws, and he shouted to Chi Muyan for help: "Admit defeat! Admit defeat! Don't play! Don't play! Chi Muyan, let your big-headed dog go away and trample me to death!"

Chi Muyan walked over, patted the cloud lion's body, and looked down at Pu Yangli on the ground, "Is this going to admit defeat and not play?" My cloud lion hasn't played enough, why don't I go to the chamber of commerce below to do something first, and you can play with it for a while?"

Yun Shi also understood his master's words, and deliberately raised his paws and slapped a few claws on Pu Yangli's body, and Pu Yangli was almost broken by his claws.

"Big brother, I'm wrong, let your baby Yunshi move away! If I shoot again, my intestines and stomach will be photographed out by it." ”

Chi Muyan smiled, walked a little further, patted Yunshi's head and asked it to let go of Pu Yangli, "Say, what does your invitation mean." ”

Pu Yangli got up from the ground and coughed twice, obviously being pressed by the cloud lion, he patted the dust on his body, took out a black token and threw it to Chi Muyan.

Chi Muyan took the token, put it in front of him and took a closer look, his face changed slightly, and he saw that the black token was engraved with the word 'dragon' that was completely opposite to the left and right.
