Chapter 0040: Misty Valley
"Senior brother's name, do any of you know it?"
After entering the Valley of Misty, Muryu who walked at the end asked this question.
Chu Hanjiang, who was in front of him, shook his head and walked cautiously, avoiding the dead branches and leaves that were wet with dew, so as not to stain his clothes, and at the same time replied slowly and politely: "You should ask this question to Senior Brother in person before coming in." ”
"Don't you think Senior Brother is annoying when he laughs?"
"It's really annoying to hear you say that. ”
"And he's teasing us, so I can't let him get what he wants. ”
"Is there really a high-level soul beast in the Misty Valley?" Changkong Yunqi mustered up the courage to interject a sentence, but before he finished speaking, his ears were already red.
They are all about the same age, and they are like-minded, and no one will dislike anyone.
"It's hard to say. Mu Liu thought for a while, and then said: "It's better to believe it than to believe it, and be careful." ”
"What Mu Liu said makes sense. ”
Meng Jiang, who was opening the way in front, stopped, glanced around, turned around, and said, "We have entered the Misty Valley, take out the bag and take a look." ”
Under the cover of the bushes, the four of them gathered together, half-squatted on the ground, and took out the bags they had received from their arms.
The seal of the bag has been unsealed on its own, and the tie has been loosened.
Mu Liu tore open the bag and took out a jade butterfly and a small piece of parchment wrapped in it.
Glancing up at the three companions, he saw that they were also holding these two things.
As the parchment unfolds, a line of small print emerges.
Seeing that small line, Mu Liu felt helpless and had to cancel the decision he had made earlier.
"Three blue flame berries, a black lotus, and a silver wave demon knife...... Forelimbs!!"
It was Chu Hanjiang who spoke, and when he whispered out the first two items, his brows were already squeezed together, and the third item directly made him forget about the hidden crises around him, and he screamed.
Changkong Yunqi hurriedly covered Chu Hanjiang's mouth with his hand until he calmed down.
In today's world, the five common soul beast clans are King Kong, Qinglian, Giant God, Strange Ghost, and Dragon Phoenix.
According to the soul beast's own spiritual vein talent, as well as the strength they show, as well as the current social division of labor, the human race roughly divided his soul beast into three levels: low-level, high-level, and emperor.
Among them, most of the low-level soul beasts are still in their primitive form, their wisdom is limited, they are not much different from beasts, they have a very strong sense of aggression, and they kill each other. Most low-level soul beasts rely on devouring the soul elements of their same kind to strengthen themselves, absorb each other's memories, continue to learn, and seek breakthroughs to advance to advanced forms.
At the same time, there is a difference between ordinary and elite low-level soul beasts, and the gap between the two is very different in all aspects.
And the Silver Wave Demon Knife, which belongs to the Vajra lineage, is the top killer among the elite soul beasts, and it is a great threat to the human race.
Chu Hanjiang was still in disbelief, his eyes straightened and he looked at it carefully word for word, as desperate as if he had been sentenced to death, but there was a sound in his ears.
"Mine is collecting an emerald worm and an egg of an ice dragon leech. ”
After that, Meng Jiang.
"A crow's tail feathers, a small piece of the snakeskin of a golden-winged beetle, and a silkworm egg of a seven-star fire silkworm. ”
After listening to Changkong Yunqi and Meng Jiang read out what they each needed, Chu Hanjiang was shocked and regained his psychological balance.
"It turns out that this exam is not only related to soul beasts, but also collection tasks. Now it seems that Chu Hanjiang's mission is dangerous, and the sky is cloudy, and it depends on luck. Meng Jiang is more difficult than you, the crow and the golden-winged beetle snake both live in groups. She will need a lot of patience and a perfect strategy to complete the list. ”
Mu Liu finished analyzing all three of his companions, but he didn't say what he was going to do.
"You've got a point. Meng Jiang stuffed the jade butterfly and parchment back into the bag and said, "Tell us about yourself." ”
"I'll take a look. Chu Hanjiang was anxious, snatched the parchment paper that Mu Liu was holding in his hand, and unfolded it, his expression became extremely complicated.
Meng Jiang asked, "What is written on it?"
Mu Liu couldn't help but laugh and said, "I'm going to help two of you complete the list." ”
Sky Yunqi expressed sympathy with his eyes.
Meng Jiang said very calmly: "If the success rate of the three of us is half, you are half of the half." ”
Mu Liudao: "I kind of understand, the Misty Valley is not a test of our personal ability. ”
Chu Hanjiang nodded in agreement and said, "You're right, we can't complete the list by one person alone." ”
Mu Liudao: "Then we are grasshoppers tied to a rope now." ”
Chu Hanjiang shook his head to say that Mu Liu's words were inappropriate, and corrected: "The four of us are now in the same boat, and we have to ...... with one heart."
"Alright, don't say it. ”
Meng Jiang interrupted him and said, "Misty Valley is a dangerous place, and it is not suitable to stay for a long time. Our priority now is to develop a plan, decide how to go next and what to do at each next step, complete the tasks on the list in the shortest possible time, and leave the valley of miss. If you have any suggestions, put them forward now, and let's study them together. Yunqi, you say it first, be sharp, don't spit out. ”
Before he could open his mouth, he was counted down by Meng Jiang, and Changkong Yunqi was very helpless in his heart, and simply said four words.
"Easy first, then harder. ”
Chu Hanjiang answered: "The principle of proximity, do not go back." ”
What both of them said made sense, but Meng Jiang was disappointed.
She turned to Mu Liu and said, "Although you are the youngest of us, it seems that you are calm and not afraid at all. I think you're familiar with the wild and should be more experienced than us, so tell us what you think. ”
Mu Liu was unambiguous and asked several questions one after another.
"Do you know how big the Valley of the Misty is, do you know where you are in the Valley of the Lost now, do you know where the things you want, do you know where they will appear? And the things you bring with you will keep you going in the Valley of the Misty for how long?"
Meng Jiang understood what Mu Liu meant, so he found a slightly dry place nearby, took off his package, and spread it on the ground.
Sky Yunqi reacted a little slower, and unloaded the big bag he was carrying on his back.
However, due to the accidental tying of a dead knot before, he couldn't untie it for a long time.
Mu Liu didn't hide his secrets either, and spread out his package.
Only Chu Hanjiang was indifferent.
The things Meng Jiang carried were similar to Mu Liu, the dry food was well prepared, and there was also a bronze mirror.
Mu Liu stared at the bronze mirror and frowned.
Meng Jiang hurriedly explained: "Mr. Jiao Xi said that this mirror can set the wind and fire. ”
Mu Liu was relieved.
But Meng Jiang's eyes flickered, and he said, "But...... I probably don't need to. ”
"Why?"
Meng Jiang shrugged his shoulders and didn't answer.
Mu Liu probably knew what she meant, and understood why she carried three swords.
Chu Hanjiang shook the magic weapon he had been holding in his hand and said with a smile: "I just happened to bring an ebony fire staff, and I can use this fire staff to release a few intermediate fire spells. ”
Mu Liu rolled his eyes and asked, "What else do you have besides this?"
Chu Hanjiang apologized first, and said with a smile: "I thought that like the previous exam, it wouldn't take long in the Misty Valley, so I ......"
Mu Liu said angrily, "Maybe you can use your fire stick to set fire to make a lunch." ”
Meng Jiang couldn't help laughing.
At this time, Changkong Yunqi finally untied his big bag weighing twenty or thirty catties, and when he was excited, the contents were scattered all over the ground, most of them were dry food, and there were some bits and pieces, such as tableware, fly ropes, bottles and cans, etc., and some materials used to arrange the formation.
Mu Liu, Meng Jiang and Chu Hanjiang were stunned.
Changkong Yunqi felt very embarrassed, his face turned red again, and he whispered, "I eat more." ”
Mu Liu asked, "Where's your magic weapon?"
"Didn't find a suitable one. ”
Mu Liu was speechless.
The four of them only had a decent magic weapon, and the situation was not good.
Mu Liu hopes that they are not bad at skills, and they can cast some spells without magic weapons.
Meng Jiang stood up and said, "Food is not a problem, the potions brought by Mu Liu and I can deal with the common poisonous miasma, as well as the toxins of some low-level soul beasts, but the amount is limited, so it is best to protect yourself and not get hurt." I saw Muliu's archery skills at the horse farm yesterday, and his sword skills should not be bad. However, against soul beasts, this cold iron treasure knife can barely make them hurt a little, and the wolf tooth arrow will not work. ”
Mu Liu said, "Don't forget, we still have two mages here. ”
Chu Hanjiang didn't have much confidence in himself, and said, "The spells I have mastered may not be able to kill the soul beasts. ”
Mu Liu replied, "We're not here to hunt soul beasts. ”
Chu Hanjiang understood.
Mu Liu said again: "The Seven Star Fire Silkworm is tired of water, the Golden-winged Snake likes the shady bamboo forest, the Crow is greedy, the Ice Armor Dragon Leech burrows, and the Black Lotus usually grows near the corpse of the purebred Qinglian Soul Beast. The green worm is phototaxis, but it is timid by nature, easily frightened, and good at camouflage, not easy to find. The Silver Wave Demon Sword is born from the water, and most of them inhabit both sides of the river. As for the Blue Flame Berries......"
Muliu's words stopped.
Chu Hanjiang said: "What's wrong with the Blue Flame Berry?"
Mu Liu said again: "In my impression, the Blue Flame Flame Berry only appears in the southern part of the Heavenly Desolate Mountain Range, and I suspect that this kind of place is unlikely to occur. ”
Meng Jiang praised: "I didn't expect you to know so thoroughly about soul beasts and exotic grasses. ”
But Chu Hanjiang was very disappointed.
Mu Liu comforted: "Don't be discouraged, since it is a topic given by the academy, as long as its name appears on the parchment, even if it is an ancient demon seed, it must have it." ”
Meng Jiang and Changkong Yunqi agreed.
After that, several people packed their bags and repacked.
Before leaving, Meng Jiang said: "The soul beasts in the Misty Valley should not be very dense, in addition to the soul beasts, we must also be careful to beware of fierce birds and beasts that kill people without blinking, as well as those pervasive poisonous miasma." When encountering something unfamiliar, you must act cautiously and do not touch it indiscriminately. ”
"Got it, let's go. ”
Mu Liu couldn't wait, a little impatient.
He felt that everyone understood what Meng Jiang said, and he didn't need to explain it so clearly.
Meng Jiang shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, go up the mountain first, and talk about what happens to the top of the mountain." ”
So, Mu Liu walked ahead to explore the way, leading the three of them along the ridge and cautiously towards the top of the nearby mountain.
Although the vegetation, climate, landform and in-ear insects and birds in the valley are very different from those of the Wound Qi Forest, they all exude a primitive and savage atmosphere, and crises and opportunities coexist.
After entering the Misty Valley, Mu Liu felt like he was going home, and the excitement in his heart was irrepressible, nervous and exciting.
If it weren't for the three companions, he would have run on his feet.
