Chapter Forty-Three: The Harvest
Because of the hive matter, the Hu Zhentai group temporarily stopped the search for the treasure, and the two groups of nine people came here, and now the matter about the hive has been dealt with, and the work of finding the treasure still has to be continued. However, because of Hu Zhensong's death, Hu Zhentai also came to the Qingyang master and apprentice group, obviously wary of them.
The old tree is almost the highest place of the whole hill, standing here you can see the whole garden roughly, this garden except for the small earth mountain, there is nothing special in other places, you can see the edge at a glance, it seems that there is basically no danger in other places.
Time was pressing, and everyone did not waste any more time, the two groups of people continued to take turns to use the spirit plate to hunt for treasures, starting from a corner of the garden, along one of the sides of the garden, slowly looking forward, each time to control the width of two or three zhang, not letting go at all.
The rest of the group didn't go anywhere, so they made a flat land at the top of the hill, and then cut down trees to build a simple little house, where everyone usually rested, and monitored the other group at any time, so that they could rush over as soon as possible when they were in danger.
The two teams rotate every six hours, and everyone has enough time to rest and recuperate, which is not very hard.
In the first few days of entering the secret land, they had always gained relatively little, and each time they got something piecemeal, compared to the price they paid, it was much worse.
It is very likely that this garden used to be the place where the immortals planted spiritual herbs and medicinal herbs, and although it has been deserted, there are still a lot of good things hidden in it. So in the past few days, they have finally ushered in a big explosion of harvest, and they can find useful things almost every day.
There are ginseng with tubular roots, herbs with a golden luster, plants full of bright flowers, small green saplings, and a few small purple fruits. Almost all of them are plant-based, and there are more than a dozen species in number.
These things are all found with the spirit plate, of course, the grade is still different, most of the spirit grass when they meet the spirit plate, the red light on it is not very bright, it is similar to the brown stone found before, but there are some brightness is relatively high, one of them is found, the red light on the spirit plate is extremely dazzling, which is amazing.
In the blink of an eye, six or seven days passed, and with the unremitting efforts of the two groups of them, the entire courtyard was finally searched, not an inch of land was spared, and even the hill under their feet was rummaged through.
During this time, it has been calm, there has been no more danger, and no one has been injured. In the whole garden, not to mention living creatures such as birds and beasts, even ordinary insects are rarely seen, and it seems that the ones who can move are the bees.
After finishing his work, Hu Zhentai counted all the harvests they had gained from entering the secret land this time, one brown stone, two cyan crystals, two black metal plates, a large bundle of waste wood, a beehive with a large bowl mouth, and more than a dozen various spiritual herbs and medicinal herbs.
In addition to those treasures, there was also a mouse corpse and a few dead black beetles and bees, which were mainly used to show the function of the immortals, proving that they were not lazy after entering the secret land this time, but risked their lives greatly.
Hu Zhensong's body was not kept, it was directly burned on a few pieces of waste wood, and then a large porcelain bottle was found and put on the back of his third brother Hu Zhenhua.
Qingyang also took stock of his harvest in private, the wine gourd lost all the nine wine pools in the main hall, in addition to this, he also sucked in seven bees and a lot of immortal alcohol, he and his master drank a lot of honey, and his strength was greatly improved, and the other was those few unknown seeds, and the harvest was really not small. It's just that he hasn't figured out what the wine gourd is all about, and he can't get out of what he sucks in, so he can't be considered his own for the time being.
Calculating the time, it had been nearly fourteen days since they entered the secret land, and there was only a little more than one day left before the half-month time given by the immortal masters. The people did not dare to delay any longer, and after packing up their things, they came to the entrance of the garden, and followed the rope back to the outside of the mist.
Ten people when they went in, but when they came out, it became nine, although this time the harvest was great, but everyone's mood was very low, and no one spoke outside the fog. After a long time, when Hu Zhentai beckoned everyone to discuss what to do next, the situation was a little better.
However, everyone's opinions are very different, and some people think that it is too late to run out of time, so it is better to turn around and go directly to the entrance of the secret land and wait for the immortal masters to let everyone out. Some people think that the secret land has not been explored yet, and it is necessary to continue to move forward, at least to see what else is ahead, and after going out, it is better to report to the immortal masters, otherwise it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be sent in for the second time.
After some deliberation, a compromise plan was adopted, and everyone walked a little further, regardless of whether there was anything to discover, at most only half a day, and then they would return the same way. Because they were worried about the danger when they came, they walked slowly and slowly, and when they returned, they let go of the speed, and the remaining time was enough for them to reach the entrance of the secret land.
Everyone walked forward along the passage for about three or four hours, and never encountered any houses, halls and other buildings, seeing that the half-month period was only half a day, and when everyone was about to turn back, a three-way intersection suddenly appeared in front.
Is there another garden ahead? The group couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, this time it was troublesome, thinking that time was running out. If you tell the truth after you go out, the immortal masters will definitely force everyone to come in for the second time, and I don't know how many people will die at that time. But what if you don't tell the truth and are discovered by the immortal masters?
Just when everyone was embarrassed, they suddenly heard Hu Zhenhua, who was walking in the front, surprised: "Don't worry, this is not a garden, we have come to the end." ”
Coming to an end? Everyone hurriedly stepped forward and came to the three-way intersection. When they got here, everyone realized that this three-way intersection turned out to be the one they had just passed through the formation area. They spun around in a circle, and finally returned to this position behind the formation area, and the entire secret land had been explored by them.
That is to say, after turning this fork in the road, as long as they passed through the formation area in front, they would arrive at the place where they were separated from Hu Zhenheng. After that, a distance of three hundred zhang was the entrance to the secret land, and they had completed this mission, and they were completely safe.
