Chapter 23: The Danger Line

The bearded ninja led the three of them to the lowest place, and all the way down, he gradually saw strange trees growing on the rock wall similar to banyan trees, some of the hanging rattans had touched the ground, piercing into the fertile soil like needles, greedily absorbing the nutrients in the ground and thriving. The main stem spreads and wraps around the rocky cliffs, trying to climb higher.

The tree is like a spider weaver, weaving webs everywhere, and at first glance you will feel like you are entering a small forest, but in fact the forest is just a behemoth with countless branches.

At first glance, it seems that this is the only kind of tree growing in this quiet valley, and other kinds of trees cannot compete with it, and gradually it is becoming extinct in the vicinity, except for some weeds and other vegetation that still grows tenaciously, lingering in the shadows.

After an hour of walking, passing through the same groves, the bearded ninja finally stopped.

Beside Mo Lun, the pock-faced girl took out a wooden whistle from her clothes and buzzed.

After waiting in place for a while, a strange duck cry suddenly sounded in the air, and the girl blew a few more times. Then, I saw that the sky was dark, and a dark figure was hovering, unwilling to come down above Mo Lun and the others.

The girl grinned, pulled through the basket that Moren was carrying, and took out a strange fish that was motionless and thigh-thick. There is a yellowish rune paper attached to the strange fish, and the texture should be the same as the detonation charm, but the rune drawn on it has changed.

The bearded ninja and the old man waited quietly on the side, and Mo Lun twisted his waist and looked over as well.

Suddenly, the girl threw the strange fish into the air, and the strange fish flew towards the big bird in the sky, and the yellowish rune paper on the way suddenly burned, and it turned to ashes in the middle of a breath.

A scene that stunned Moren happened.

The next moment when the rune paper burned out, the strange fish came to life strangely, struggling in the air and shaking its body, and in this struggle, the strange fish also continued to grow bigger, and after each struggle, it would always double on the original basis.

In the blink of an eye, the strange fish suddenly changed into a form about the size of a pock-faced girl.

With a few screams, the dark figure hovering in the sky finally swept down, and the duck-like long and wide peck just opened, and swallowed the big monster fish that was still alive. It screamed in the air in satisfaction, and finally fell reluctantly under the constant calls of the pock-faced girl.

A ripple of air expanded, blowing up Morun's hair, but fortunately, the stirring dust was blocked by his clothes in advance, and when the clothes were put down, Morun finally saw the appearance of the big bird clearly, and couldn't help but be speechless for a while.

Like a duck that has been magnified a hundredfold, combined with the croaking sound that came out of its mouth before, Moren is sure that this guy is definitely a duck.

A big black duck.

The pock-faced girl liked this big duck very much, and ran forward to stroke its black fluff constantly, and the bearded ninja glanced at her, and then said to everyone: "Kun God is coming, let's go to the Flying Dragon Yuan!" ”

The old man glanced at Mo Lun expressionlessly, and said lightly: "You are very lucky, with him carrying us, the journey will be much easier." Kunshen is a bird domesticated by the rebels, we didn't see it last time, I initially thought it was leaving with the rebels, but I didn't expect it to be here. ”

"Hmph! Kunshen is not a psychic beast, how can he be easily taken away by them. I've always been feeding me before, and the last time I came, I said that Kun Shen was still there, and you still didn't believe it, so you didn't want to wait for a while, and when you went down to the Flying Dragon Abyss, you were almost caught by the earth worms. The pock-faced girl took the words and complained about the bearded two.

Mo Lun listened for a while and asked, "What is a ground worm?"

The girl looked at him and did not answer.

The bearded ninja smiled, seemingly too lazy to explain.

However, the old man who had been expressionless muttered for a while, and then said: "The earth worm is the only strange beast that can compete with many birds in the wild goose valley, when the grass and durian country was not founded, the wild goose valley was not called the wild goose valley, there is no such name, only heard of the earth worm yuan, and the origin of the name is these ground worms." Later, the king beast of the Land of Wind, the 'Flying Dragon', returned injured in an expedition, passed through the Earth Worm Abyss, and ate all the Earth Worms in the abyss before recovering from his injuries, so the Earth Worm Abyss was renamed the Flying Dragon Abyss. And since the departure of the flying dragon, there have been batches of birds and beasts around the flying dragon yuan, occupying the entire valley, and I don't know when this originally nameless valley has been called the wild goose valley. ”

Mo Lun looked at the old man and felt that the old man who could be his grandfather at this age seemed to know the Great Wild Goose Valley very well, just like the people who had lived here since childhood. He didn't find this kind of deed in Dayan Valley in the library, but the old man told it in detail, with a vague sense in his tone, the only thing that remained unchanged was the wrinkled old face, always expressionless.

Mo Lun also wanted to ask about the king beast, but the bearded ninja was already impatient, grabbed Mo Lun's arm, and jumped on Kun God's back with him. Seeing this, the old man also jumped up and stood behind.

Finally, there was the pock-faced girl, who muttered to the big black duck and came up.

Under the howling of the wind, a big black duck flew up into the air with four people and flew towards a certain place.

Mo Lun clung to the duck's dense fluff tightly, very hard, to prevent it from being blown away by the wind, falling down and falling to pieces, and squinted at the three people standing firmly on his shoulders beside him.

Ordinary people don't talk about collecting lantern blue grass, it is estimated that they can't stand firmly behind the big black duck, and they may fall to their deaths at any time without help. The duck looked fat, but it flew so fast, he couldn't figure out why the ninja could stand so steadily.

It wasn't until I accidentally saw the red light that bloomed slightly on the soles of the pock-faced girl's feet that I finally understood.

Zhuo Luo is not only used to cast ninjutsu, but also has all kinds of wonderful uses, Mo Lun recalled the cornices described in the book, and the volley void he saw in the dark forest, and couldn't help but sigh again: Zhuo Luo, it is really an incredible power.

Just thinking about it, Mo Lun suddenly felt that his body was light, as if he had been thrown up, and the soles of his feet lost their strength, so he could only grasp the dense and strong fluff in a panic, and the whole person swayed like a silk scarf hanging around the neck of a duck, fluttering and fluttering with the wind.

The pock-faced girl laughed heartlessly, the bearded ninja also laughed loudly, and the old man didn't laugh and was watching.

With no one to help him, Moren could miss and be dumped at any time.

The ducks flew too fast, the wind was too wild and too fast, and suddenly a chill hit, and Mo Lun felt cold, as if he had returned to the cold winter of last year, he couldn't see anything, and closed his eyes tightly to prevent some sand dust from entering.

Rising scanned, ticking and ticking.

It could instantly record and feed back the surrounding images, but Morun didn't have a chance to check it, only knowing that he had entered a slit, and he was afraid that he would fall into the abyss if he was distracted.

Kun Shen stopped, very suddenly.

Mo Lun popped and slammed down on the duck's back, only to feel the five rolls, and a colic pain made a lot of cold sweat overflow on his forehead.

"It's here, let's get down!" was the bearded ninja's voice.

Moren opened his eyes and looked around with a pale face, it was pitch black, and he jerked his head up and looked at the sky.

A slit, like an eyelid closed, a slit about the size of a thin thread, only this gap can have a touch of light.

"Flying Dragon"

He thought to himself and slowly climbed down.

The colic pain in his abdomen finally passed, and Mo Lun wiped a cold sweat and was suddenly stunned. I saw that the old man was expressionless, gently grasping a wooden basket in his hand. He turned his head to look, only to realize that the wooden basket he was carrying on his back was missing.

"Take it, without it, you have to carry it back by yourself, if you lose one, you're finished. ”

The old man handed the basket to Morun, clapped his hands, and followed the beard and the girl away.

Mo Lun carried the basket on his back as he ran, and his mind was restrained.

Soon, Morren stopped again.

Because the three people in front of them also stopped.

When he walked forward, Morun was shocked.

A ** faint blue light appeared in the field of vision, it was a small basin, there were plants with the thickness of bamboo poles growing in the basin, the faint blue light was emitted from the rhizomes of the vegetation, if there were only one or two plants, Mo Lun could only see some illuminations similar to blue light pipes at most, but what if tens of thousands of blue light pipes gathered together?

Mo Lun saw that the incomparable magnificent scenery in front of him was formed by clusters of lamp blue grass growing together, and that kind of beauty was unforgettable.

"Not all of them are useful, we need only a very small part of them. The old man sighed and woke up the drunken Morun.

He looked at the old man, waiting for the next words.

"I'll look at it later, I'll collect one for you to see first, only this kind of lamp blue grass I collected is valuable, and the rest is just ornamental. ”

The voice paused, the old man's face became serious for the first time, he stared at Mo Lun, and said word by word: "For you, the most important thing is not how many lamps and blue grass you collect, but on the way to collect, don't die!!"

With that, the old man looked at the bearded ninja and said, "I'll go first, cover me, and don't let the big birds that can fly disturb me." ”

The bearded ninja nodded, and the old man ripped off the loose robe he was wearing, revealing the dark blue clothes inside, which hugged the old man's thin body, looking a little funny.

Skillfully sliding down the slope, the old man walked in the direction of the lamp blue grass.

He walked slowly, as if he was always on the lookout for something.

Puzzled, the chip followed, scanning the surroundings.

"Huh~"

Mo Lun exclaimed in his heart, he found a trace the size of a steel rope, the mark at the edge of the basin, all the way to the light blue grass, because it was far away, too small, and there was a large amount of blue light from the light blue grass to cover it, he had not seen it before.

At this time, he saw that the old man was carefully stepping on the mark line, his face was full of seriousness, as if he was afraid of stepping on the wrong place.

He couldn't help but wonder, even if it was a needle and thread, the ninja had the ability to step on it and walk freely, and the old man, as the first person to go to collect, didn't look like a weak person who didn't have the strength to go home, let alone a ninja, even he was sure that he wouldn't make a mistake walking on this line.

But looking at the old man's action of taking one step at a time, the trace line does not seem to be as simple as it seems on the surface

Morren quickly found the reason.

Under the scanning of Rising, I saw that the marks under the old man's feet were suddenly broken like a piece of paper, and the crack was the part that the old man was about to step on. Later, Morun saw blue and purple insects crawling out of the breach, and the old man retracted the foot he was about to step on with lightning speed.

But it was still a little late, a blue and purple insect suddenly stuck to the sole of the shoe, and quickly "melted" away, the old man snorted, his hands quickly sealed, after a burst of light smoke, the shoe disappeared, leaving only a reddish old foot of Kaoru.

"What's going on, the last time I was halfway through, the 'molten worm' appeared, could it be that the magma in the ground is about to erupt?"

The bearded ninja looked at the old man in disbelief, it was obvious that this change not only startled Morun, but it seemed that they had not expected it either.

"It must have been an accident, you see, the danger line is not broken. The pock-faced girl shook her head disapprovingly, and her ponytail swayed with a swing.
