Chapter 9: The Valley

"Whew!", Feng Ruo gently jumped down from a cliff several feet high, and after stumbling two steps, he quickly stood firm, while scanning the surrounding situation vigilantly, the current position he was in had left the range he had explored, so he had to be careful at all times.

If he had a choice, Feng Ruo would say that he would not be willing to take such a risk, but this was indeed the fastest way for him to obtain the Five Elements Stone right now.

After looking around for a while, Feng Ruo couldn't help frowning, this place may be close to the hinterland of the East Peak, those tall trees are no longer sparse, the entire sky is shrouded in the huge canopy, occasionally a ray of sunlight shines in, and it is soon engulfed by boundless shadows, affected by this, he can't judge the direction at all, he can only rely on memory and experience to determine the location.

But even so, Feng Ruo was not sure that he would not get lost, and the terrain here was undulating and changeable, so Feng Ruo's current skills still felt a little difficult.

"It's a pity! it would be nice if there was a flying mount!" Feng Ruo couldn't help but sigh, if he had a white-feathered crane, not only would he shorten the travel time, but in this case, he naturally didn't have to worry about getting lost, and once he encountered any unknown danger, he could also hide in the sky.

With a wry smile, Feng Ruo directly threw off this unrealistic thought, in this dangerous environment, it is not a good thing to wander.

Maybe because the trees are too thick, the weeds on the ground look a little pitiful, but in the same way, those unknown vines are blessed with crazy growth, and they are everywhere as far as the eye can see, so that Feng Ruo has to force a path.

Fortunately, the Yingyue short knife is really sharp, and it doesn't take too much effort to do this, thinking that if it were replaced by the previous long knife, it is estimated that dozens of gaps would have been knocked out at this time.

Of course, while being on guard, Feng Ruo did not forget to search for the spirit grass everywhere, the two spirit grasses of the blood condensation grass and the manna branch did not need to be considered, in this environment, there was no chance for them to grow at all.

However, in that primary spirit grass identification book, there is a kind of spirit grass purple green vine that grows in a dark environment, to be specific, this spirit grass has far exceeded the level of blood clotting grass and manna branches, it can be regarded as extremely precious, and most importantly, this thing can be used as the main medicine for refining blood suppression pills.

The hemostatic pill is not comparable to the shoddy elixir like hemostatic powder, this is the real elixir, with the effect of life and death, healing white bones, even if it is seriously injured and dying, as long as you take this hemostatic pill, you can recover within a few hours, it is definitely the best choice for going out hunting.

It's a pity that one Hemostatic Pill requires thirty low-grade Five Elements Stones, and even a hunting team like Qu Yun and them can only buy two or three for backup.

Of course, Feng Ruo now also hopes that he can collect a purple green vine, so that he can earn four or five low-grade Five Element Stones, which is much more cost-effective than hunting a first-level spirit beast.

However, this purple green vine is not like blood condensation grass everywhere, it is very rare, not to mention that in this environment, many of the three generations of disciples of the Qingyun Sect who plan to collect purple green vines have returned like this.

Holding his breath, Feng Ruo gently used the Reflecting Moon Short Knife to cut through the vines blocking the way in front of him, while searching carefully, as for the spirit beast, he was not very worried, because in this place where the vines were dense, even if a spirit beast appeared, it would make a loud noise in advance.

In this way, he walked forward for about an hour, and Feng Ruo's eyes became darker and darker, and it was obvious that no one had been here for a long time, and the vines that covered the sky had filled all the space densely.

"Damn!" Seeing this situation, Feng Ruo had no choice but to give up and move on, not that he was afraid, but that he should return the same way, otherwise, he would have to stay overnight in the East Peak, which was not the result he wanted.

Shaking his somewhat sore neck, Feng Ruo turned around and was about to return along the road, but he never wanted to step on an extremely slippery object, and he was caught off guard and almost fell on his back, but fortunately, his reaction was extremely fast, and he jumped to the side by taking advantage of the situation.

Unexpectedly, the place where he landed turned out to be a steep slope, and now, he didn't have time to react, and the whole person fell involuntarily!

This sudden situation suddenly frightened Feng Ruo, but fortunately he didn't scream, otherwise it would be bad if he attracted any spirit beasts at this time.

After rolling down for a moment, Feng Ruo finally stopped the downward momentum, but the already tattered clothes on his body couldn't stand it and turned into wisps.

It's just that Feng Ruo didn't have time to care about these now, and quickly put the Yingyue short knife across his chest, and at the same time quickly observed the surrounding situation, until he confirmed that there was no danger, he breathed a sigh of relief.

This is a long and narrow valley, about hundreds of zhang long, only more than ten zhang wide, both sides are relatively steep, but because of the towering trees and vines on both sides, even if you ride a flying mount from above, it is difficult to find the existence of this valley, as for the ground is even more difficult to find, if it is not Feng Ruo stepped on the air, it is estimated that this close valley will not be found.

After carefully inspecting the situation here, Feng Ruo was a little excited in his heart, because with the unique location of this valley, it was very likely that no one would notice it.

You must know that the four peaks in the southeast, northwest, and northwest of the core area of Qingyun Mountain have always been the back gardens of those three generations of disciples, and the most powerful spirit beasts here are only second-level spirit beasts, and those relatively rare spirit grasses have long been looted by them, and in such a hidden valley, there may be a lot of spirit grasses that have been missed, as long as a few are collected, he will make a windfall.

However, Feng Ruo was not carried away by the excitement, he knew very well that his strength was not enough to compare with those three generations of disciples of the Qingyun Sect, and this was not his back garden!

Taking a deep breath, Feng Ruo casually sorted out the strips of rags on his body, and then walked forward cautiously with the Moon Reflecting Short Knife, while carefully observing the surrounding grass and trees.

There are not many trees in this valley, and the corresponding variety of flowers and plants are also very vigorous, and from the perspective of Feng Ruo standing, it is extremely beautiful.

It's just that these flowers and plants are waist-deep, and no one knows what is hidden in them.

When Feng Ruo took more than ten steps forward, a sound of "squirming" suddenly came from behind him, and before he could look back, he felt that his left leg was entangled by something, followed by a huge force pulling over, almost lifting him off.

Fortunately, Feng Ruo's reaction was also extremely fast, and he immediately sank his waist to offset that force, and at this time, he realized that what was entangled in him was a white silk thread about the same as his hair, and the source of this silk thread was a silver spider the size of a calf!

"Hiss" saw such a huge spider for the first time, Rao is Feng Ruo was resolute, and he couldn't help but gasp, and what was even worse was that there was no information about this huge spider in the primary spirit beast identification book.

"Could it be that this is a second-level spirit beast?" Feng Ruo's mind quickly flashed this thought, the second-level spirit beast was not something he could deal with now, because it was almost equivalent to a cultivator in the middle stage of qi refining, even if it was Kong Fei, it would take a lot of effort to hunt it!

With his mind racing, Feng Ruo swung his knife and slashed at the spider silk that was entangled in his left leg, and now he could flee as far as he wanted, and he didn't dare to think about other thoughts at all.

The "Keng" Feng Ruo's Moon Reflecting Short Knife was actually bounced back when it slashed at the slender spider silk, almost making him unable to grasp it!

"Oops! This spider silk is actually tougher than snow silk!" Feng Ruo was horrified in his heart, and then without thinking about it, he quickly injected mana into the Moon Reflecting Short Knife, and almost at the same time, the entire blade was wrapped in a half-foot-long red flame! This time, for the sake of caution, Feng Ruo deliberately increased the output of mana.

"Break!" With Feng Ruo's low shout, a firelight flashed quickly from mid-air, slashing firmly on the spider silk, and with a violent tremor, the spider silk was cut off with a "snap"!

However, Feng Ruo didn't have time to appreciate the results, so he turned around and ran, because this huge spider was really beyond his imagination, and his mana could only support the casting of the flame knife three times, if he added the five active scatters, he could only cast it eight times in total, but he didn't think that these eight knives could break through the defense of the silver spider.

Under Feng Ruo's sudden force, he rushed out of a distance of more than ten zhang in a blink of an eye, but the speed of the silver spider was not slow, and it followed closely behind, thinking that as long as it was a little closer, it could spray spider silk.

In this case, Feng Ruo didn't have time to escape from the steep sides of the valley, so he could only run towards the front of the valley without his life, no matter what, the terrain in this valley was quite flat.

But suddenly, Feng Ruo suddenly felt that his feet were empty, and when he looked down, it was actually a black cave!

"It's over, I've fallen into that spider's den!"
