104 Dead Grass
It wasn't until the sun went down that the whole valley was quiet again, Wang Shen cautiously opened his eyes, and at this moment the clothes behind him were already soaked, and the night wind blew through him and made him shiver.
Only now did he realize how terrifying the masked man in black in Lily of the Valley's mouth was, from a distance, he just glanced at the other party and was noticed by the other party, fortunately, Wang Shen was astute, and his natural keen vigilance made him close his eyes for the first time, and even stopped with his whole body. He hasn't been in the Eight Veins for a long time now, and it is still a little difficult to hold the breath around his body for a long time, and he can't do the free sending and receiving realm of such a Great Zhou Tian master, so this breath-holding without much effort almost made him exhausted.
Fortunately, the lush and chaotic grass, trees, mountains and rocks in the valley and the roaring and turbulent mountain wind saved Wang Shen's life, and at this time, the group of Qiang people was no longer on the opposite side of the giant pit, only the viscous and thick plasma in the giant pit still recorded everything that happened here during the day.
The peculiar smell of herbs in the plasma was still wafting out, and there seemed to be some distant voice attracted by the smell, rushing through the difficult dangerous stone forest.
Wang Shen took a deep breath, turned around and left the place of right and wrong, and when he returned to the narrow and hidden valley at the back of the valley, Lily of the Valley, who was hiding on the side, jumped out in a hurry and grabbed him.
Seeing Lily of the Valley looking him up and down nervously, Wang Shen couldn't help but smile and said, "It's okay, those people are gone." ”
Lily of the valley breathed a sigh of relief, nodded at Wang Shen, and then stared at his eyes with a look of hope.
Wang Shen sighed and replied, "I can't deal with this person." ”
Seeing that the pretty Qiang girl in front of him was full of loss and despair, Wang Shen felt a slight sorrow in his heart, and couldn't help but say again: "But if you can know what he is doing inside, maybe there will be a way to disrupt his plan." ”
Then, Wang Shen told Lily of the Valley everything that happened in the valley in detail, and when Wang Shen talked about the peculiar soup that her people were boiling in the valley, Lily of the Valley's eyes lit up obviously.
She sniffed at the air in the valley and said firmly, "Dead grass." ”
"What is Dead Grass?"
Wang Shen asked curiously.
So, it was Lily of the Valley's turn to explain to Wang Shen the origin of the dead grass. It turns out that there is a kind of giant tree that has become a sacred tree by the Qiang people in the Hengduan Mountain Range, this kind of big tree grows extremely thick, and the branches are luxuriant, and the juice on it has a special effect, which can make the demon beasts in the mountains become quiet and peaceful, if it is refined by the Qiang people's secret method, this divine wood liquid can also make the demon beasts fall into a deep sleep, and even make the demon beasts dependent on this specially refined divine wood liquid, which is simply addictive. Therefore, as a necessary thing for the Qiang people to deal with and drive away demon beasts, this sacred tree is built in the places where the sacred tree grows.
The so-called dead grass is a special kind of grass that grows under the sacred tree, but the effect of these small grasses is diametrically opposed to the divine tree, if there is a demon beast to swallow the dead grass under the sacred tree, the demon beast will become irritable and irritable. And this dead grass can also produce small flowers, and the fragrance of these small flowers has a strong attraction to the demon beasts in the mountains.
Earlier, the Qiang people lived around the Divine Tree Tree, but whenever the dead grass under the tree bloomed, it would attract a large number of demon beasts to destroy the tribe, and at first they didn't understand why, and thought it was a punishment from the Spirit of the Divine Tree. It wasn't until later that the Qiang people discovered that the dead grass bloomed and the demon beast attack happened almost at the same time, and they guessed the inner reason. Therefore, these inconspicuous grasses under the sacred tree were named dead grass by the Qiang people, and soon, the Qiang people who reacted cleaned up all these dead grasses under the sacred tree.
However, this move caused new troubles, because when the dead grass under the sacred tree was cleared, the originally lush and thriving sacred tree began to be infected with insect infestation for some reason, and those sacred trees that had been uprooted from the dead grass withered and died one after another within a few months.
Without the Divine Tree Tree, you can't deal with the demon beasts, but without removing the dead grass, it is difficult to keep the tribe safe. Later, after years of research and exploration by the Qiang people, they came up with a good way, which was to take advantage of the eve of the dead grass to bloom, and pick all the buds of these dead grass and throw them elsewhere. In this way, it not only preserved the Divine Tree tree, but also avoided attracting powerful demon beasts after the dead grass bloomed.
And the strong smell in the valley is the unique smell of dead grass, lily of the valley is a Qiang people, and you can understand it when you smell it. Although dead grass only emits its its smell when it blooms, the juice of dead grass that has not bloomed will taste the same when it is picked and mashed.
After listening to Lily of the Valley's explanation, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
The man in black captured so many Qiang people and drove them to help boil the juice of the dead grass, and then pour it into the huge pit to attract the demon beasts?
In the end, the spotted python swallowed all the dead grass juice, but was killed by the man in black, and the blood that flowed out still contained the smell of dead grass, and the smell of dead grass combined with the unique smell of blood of demon beasts would soon attract more powerful demon beasts.
But what did he do with so many demon beasts? These demon beasts kept fighting in the huge pit, and in the end nothing was left, and the only survivors were killed......
No, it's not that nothing is left.
Wang Shen thought of the plasma in the giant pit he saw, he didn't pay attention at first, his eyes were attracted by the demon beasts in the giant pit, and now after thinking about it carefully, he recalled that the amount of plasma in the huge pit was extremely large, and the paws of the demon beasts in it were basically submerged in the plasma. It's just that those demon beasts are too tall, and the scope of the giant pit is extremely wide, so it seems that the plasma on the ground is only shallow. But looking back at this moment, Wang Shen found the problem.
The amount of plasma in that huge pit is at least a hundred demon beasts, if they are gathered together, I am afraid that a small village can be completely submerged!
What's the use of so many demon beasts' plasma?refining magic weapons?what kind of secret array is arranged?or is it just to continue to attract demon beasts......
Wang Shen couldn't guess, but even if the other party really planned to do something with this plasma, he couldn't do anything. With his ability, he can't deal with any demon beast in the huge pit, let alone the man in black who can kill a fierce demon beast in seconds.
Seeing that Wang Shen was silent, Lily of the Valley gritted her teeth and whispered: "Divine wood liquid, dead grass, useless." ”
"Huh?"
Wang Shen looked at Lily of the Valley, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "You mean, the Divine Wood Liquid can make the dead grass lose its effect?"
Lily of the valley nodded excitedly.
"Yes, this divine wood liquid can make demon beasts sleep peacefully, but dead grass makes them manic. It's a thing that grows and restrains each other, so it's no wonder that they grow together. It doesn't matter what that guy is going to do, pour some divine wood liquid into his pit. ”
Wang Shen suddenly thought that now was the time for the ghost cave to appear, if the ultimate goal of the man in black was still the ghost cave, maybe this pit full of blood plasma was prepared to deal with the ghost cave. Even if you can't stop the other party, if you can delay it for a moment or two, it is extremely important to thwart his plan.
"But...... Do you have so much divine wood liquid in your clan?"
"Well, there is!"
Lily of the valley seemed to have renewed hope in her eyes, and she hurriedly walked back with Wang Shen in her hand.
