Chapter 22: Into the Valley
In the dark valley, there was no sound, a deathly silence, as if even the air had a sense of suffocation. The whole valley seems to be plain and unremarkable www.biquge.info but there is an extremely peculiar place, there is no miasma in this valley! This is the first place that Fan Chen found in the Night Soul Mountain Range without miasma. This couldn't help but make him feel a little puzzled when he admired the strangeness of the valley.
Because there was no miasma, Fan Chen's vision was very broad, and with the help of their ghost clan's unique night vision talent, they could see the situation in the entire valley at a glance.
The quiet valley is very empty, and the valley is full of trees, branches and leaves, and greenery, a scene full of life.
"This mountain tiger really knows how to choose a place, this valley can be said to be a paradise in this Night Soul Mountain Range. Looking at the vibrant scene around him, Fan Chen couldn't help but sigh slightly.
Although the entire valley looked like a paradise, there was no trace of comfort on Fan Chen's face, on the contrary, he was always vigilant. Although Ying Qianren said that all the soul beasts in the valley were secretly hunted by them, there was no guarantee that there would be fish that slipped through the net or something, with Fan Chen's current strength, many soul beasts were a great threat to him.
However, after traveling a distance in the valley, Fan Chen knew that it was obvious that he was too worried, and the soul beasts in the entire valley had indeed been hunted down by Ying Qianren and them. Now in the entire valley, it is estimated that there is only one soul beast left, and that is the cub of the Bashan Tiger, but this soul beast is not enough to pose any threat to Fan Chen.
After being sure that there was no danger in the valley, Fan Chen couldn't help but speed up his pace and quickly walked towards the depths of the valley. He needed to find the cave in the valley of the Naha Mountain Tiger as soon as possible, and then leave the valley with the cub in his arms to make peace with the Ink Shadow.
After walking for about half an hour, Fan Chen found a huge cave next to a towering ancient tree. The entire cave is about one zhang wide and more than two meters high. The huge cave is pitch black, with no end in sight, and it looks very deep.
"This may be the cave of the Naha Tiger. Fan Chen took a closer look around the cave, and after seeing some tiger hairs scattered on the ground, he determined that this cave was probably the cave of the Naha Mountain Tiger!
After some observation, Fan Chen no longer hesitated, and walked straight to the cave.
"Hmm, this cave ......" But just as Fan Chen had just stepped into the cave, he couldn't help but stop. His eyes were fixed on the stone walls on both sides of the cave, and a puzzle sounded from his mouth.
The stone walls in the cave are very smooth, with obvious signs of being grooved, and there are some landscape patterns carved on the stone walls, which look like a landscape painting when you look closely!
"This is ......" Looking at these patterns like landscape paintings, Fan Chen frowned, he didn't think that these patterns were related to those landscape paintings in his previous life.
"No, these carved patterns are not paintings, but maps!" Fan Chen followed the patterns carved on the stone wall, observing them over and over again from beginning to end, and finally after carefully observing them several times, he found a hidden route in this pattern!
After making a discovery, Fan Chen's pupils flickered slightly, and he subconsciously pursed his lips, and then quickly outlined the direction of that route in his heart. A moment later, a glimmer of light flashed in Fan Chen's dark eyes, and he quickly stretched out his fingers and quickly moved through these patterns along the route outlined in his heart.
"Phew"
The friction of his fingertips sliding along the stone wall sounded, and Fan Chen's fingers moved quickly in these patterns, and the places where his fingers passed seemed to have formed an extremely complicated route.
"This is ......" After a few breaths, Fan Chen's finger rested on the side of a majestic mountain, and at the top of that towering peak, a magnificent palace was the end of the route!
Looking at this magnificent palace, Fan Chen pursed his lips slightly, with a touch of shock on his face. From the style of the building, it can be seen that the palace is very ancient, with a sense of history, and the entire exterior decoration of the palace is also full of mystery and elegance.
However, this ancient mystery is not the most shocking part of the whole palace. The most eye-catching thing about the whole palace is undoubtedly its incredible background! A vast bright moon hangs high over the whole palace, and it looks like it is only a stone's throw away from the palace!
"Couldn't this palace be built in the sky?" Fan Chen looked at this incredibly vast background, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. The majestic mountain peaks are towering into the clouds, the ancient palace stands in the clouds, and the vast moon is just a stone's throw away. These undoubtedly brought a great shock to Fan Chen's heart.
But just when Fan Chen wanted to take a closer look at these patterns, the patterns carved on the entire stone wall suddenly squirmed strangely at this moment! These patterns disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Seeing this scene, Fan Chen's face changed, and he hurriedly withdrew his fingers, stepped aside, and observed the changes on the stone wall with a vigilant expression.
As these patterns continued to wriggle, wisps of black gas flowed out of the stone wall at this moment!
"Ghost Qi!" Looking at these black gases, Fan Chen couldn't help but be surprised. These black gases are the ghost qi that is vital to their ghost clan!
The ghostly aura flowing from the stone wall filled the entire cave in an instant. Before Fan Chen could think about the reason for this, all those ghost qi flowed into his body from his mouth and nose, and were absorbed by his soul source.
The ghost qi entering the body made Fan Chen's face change, and when he just wanted to stop it, he found that all the ghost qi had already entered his body.
Feeling the majestic ghost aura in his body, Fan Chen's face couldn't help but show a touch of solemnity. Devouring such a large amount of ghost qi at one time would undoubtedly be fatal to Fan Chen!
But when these ghost qi entered Fan Chen's body, they were quickly absorbed by his soul source, and his soul source energy was constantly improving at this moment because of these ghost qi. Moreover, Fan Chen did not feel any discomfort when the ghost qi entered his body, on the contrary, these ghost qi seemed to be extremely gentle, making Fan Chen's whole body warm and unusually comfortable.
After all the ghost qi was absorbed, Fan Chen felt the changes in his body, and his heart couldn't help but feel a touch of joy, the soul source energy in his body had reached the realm of the late stage of the second soul ghost pawn directly because of these ghost qi! Such a result was undoubtedly a big surprise for Fan Chen
"These ghosts are so gentle, obviously they have been specially treated, who is carving these patterns with ghostly energy on this stone wall?"
After rejoicing, Fan Chen's heart had several questions one after another, and the map had been deeply impressed in his mind because of these ghosts.
Fan Chen looked at the map in his mind and shook his head helplessly, he knew that with his current strength, he might not be able to explore the mysteries in this map at all. The most important thing right now is to take the cub away, and then make peace with Ink Shadow.
After thinking of this, Fan Chen calmed down his inner emotions and immediately quickened his pace and walked towards the cave.
The depths of the cave seemed to be relatively damp, and there was a foul smell of Naha mountain tiger feces everywhere, and there were many other soul beast corpses in the cave. Obviously, this mountain tiger is a well-deserved overlord in this valley, and the soul beasts in the entire valley are its food in captivity!
Along the way, Fan Chen didn't find anything strange, and after walking about half a stick of incense, Fan Chen came to the depths of this cave. There was a grass nest in which a cub was sleeping peacefully. The cubs are about two feet long and have white fur. At this time, after hearing a sound, the cub opened its confused eyes, shrugged its little head, turned its big black eyes, and stared at Fan Chen curiously.
"I finally found it. Fan Chen breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the cub. They went to such great lengths for the sake of this little one.
But just as Fan Chen was about to step forward to pick up the cub, a childish voice suddenly sounded in the cave: "It's so late, who is disturbing Derpy's sleep again, Derpy is going to be angry......"
