Chapter 8: A Great Harvest Under the Dark River

The whole valley began to become shaded, and giant birds flew over the valley, and their long chirpings were long and crisp. The hunting party of more than ten people sat on the flat ground, and they could no longer see the sun.

They knew that the night was coming, and they had to leave the 100,000 mountains, at least leave this strange canyon, and go to the periphery before the night came.

The night is a paradise for wild beasts, especially those fierce beasts, if they accidentally appear on the outskirts of the 100,000 mountains, then everyone will be extremely dangerous. Therefore, except for a few powerful teams or individuals, such as swordsmen, sword ghosts, and bow faces, no one will be idle and run into the forest at night to fight these beasts and fierce beasts.

"Do you want to go back or go deeper, and then go back?" Uncle Wolf asked everyone solemnly, he couldn't joke with everyone's lives on this issue.

At one time, some suggested going deeper, others suggested returning, and it was difficult to unify opinions. As for Ye Dan and Yaoluo, they don't have this power, no matter what, everyone can only treat the two of them as two children who need everyone's protection.

Yaoluo stared at the river, quietly listening to them arguing word by word.

"Maybe there's something good here. Yaoluo said suddenly.

Silence, stunned, surprised, confused, and even mocking, they all looked at Yaoluo.

"Luo'er, what do you say?" Uncle Wolf asked as he looked at Yaoluo.

"Do you think this river is weird, uncles?"

The crowd nodded.

"But have you noticed that the water on both sides of the Dark River is different, and if you smell or taste the water in the lower reaches of the Dark River, it will have a sweet smell. ”

"Why is that?"

Yaoluo asked, staring at everyone.

"Could it be...... The problem is in the dark river?" said a young warrior who patted his thigh and stood up.

Everyone immediately understood, and the short man suddenly got up and ran over to verify Yaoluo's words.

After a while, the stocky man returned, gasped and said, "That's right. Everyone couldn't help but look at Yaoluo, thinking that this kid had a close mind, and when he grew up, he must be a good hunter.

As he spoke, everyone began to act, slowly walking into the river one by one, testing the depth of the river. Fortunately, except for the small lake formed by the impact of the waterfall is relatively deep, the dark river is relatively shallow, about a meter deep.

At the beginning, the entrance to the dark river was relatively narrow, everyone was cautious, holding weapons, and forming a circle, with Ye Dan and Yaoluo in the middle, slowly moving towards the dark river as everyone moved.

As everyone went deeper, there was another cave in the dark river, and the wide cave stretched to the side of the cliff, and there was a small stream flowing out of the depths of the cave.

As soon as they left the water, everyone was speechless with astonishment. Everyone was surprised not that there was a cave, but that the whole cave was clear and bright, and there were small stones of various moonlight colors growing on the rocks, some the size of gravel, some the size of a fist, and some the size of a whole human head. These shiny stones illuminate the originally dark stone cave as if it were day.

"Jewels, jewels, rich, we are rich. A few slightly younger young warriors shouted happily.

"Rejoice, it's useless to have a lot of gems in the tribe. Uncle Wolf was dissatisfied with a few young warriors and poured cold water on them.

"Maybe it's not a gem. Yaoluo looked blankly at the stone wall full of moonstones and said: "This kind of stone, called moonstone, is recorded in ancient times, it was the eye of human night. ”

"In ancient times, human beings not only endured natural disasters, but also fought against many fierce beasts in order to survive. However, natural disasters are merciless, but human beings are afraid of the night. In the dark night, many beasts and fierce beasts are not affected much, and they have many advantages over humans. Later, humans discovered moonstone, collected it as light, and placed it in the house and tribe, so that countless fierce beasts could avoid it from a distance after seeing the light. ”

"So, moonstone is just for lighting. However, after the chaos, human beings came into exile on the Tengchong continent, and it was difficult to find moonstones. I heard my grandfather say that the moonstones of this continent are hidden in some hidden places. ”

"I don't know the outside world, whether moonstone is worth anything, I have to ask those people who go out often. Yaoluo explained to everyone.

"Luo'er is worthy of being Luo Lao's grandson, and he knows a lot. Once again, everyone was full of admiration for this fourteen-year-old child.

The cave floor is damp and smooth, with light green algae. And by the stream, many herbs were densely packed, and everyone reacted from shock at once. This time, even if you don't have to slaughter a few beasts, it's not worth it. In the tribe, the most lacking thing is herbs.

These herbs grow all year round beside the stream, I don't know how many thousands of years have passed, some have grown into legendary elixirs, some have blossomed and fruited, become spiritual fruits and fall into the water, and some of the elixir branches and leaves will also fall into the water when they are renewed. Eroding by the flowing water, it became a liquid medicine that flowed out along the flowing water.

It's not hard to explain why the river in the canyon gives everyone an eerie feeling.

Ignoring everyone's surprise, Uncle Wolf was busy collecting more than a dozen horse chests and a few purple lingzhi with stone walls. When everyone saw this, they were all busy picking all kinds of herbs and elixirs along the stream, and some even took out daggers and dug down the moonstone.

By the way, Yaoluo picked some strange flowers and plants when she saw them. He didn't have much enthusiasm for those herbs, so he walked around, walked and walked, and accidentally fell. Just as he was about to get up, he felt a viscous liquid on the ground. Yaoluo took it to her nose and smelled it, and a sour smell came to her nose.

"What the hell is disgusting?" Yaoluo thought suspiciously, he couldn't think of it for a while, and then he saw that everyone had gone deep into the stone cave, so he shook off the doubts in his heart and immediately followed.

The road surface is getting smoother and smoother, the front of the stone cave is zigzag and extended, and everyone is immersed in joy. After so many years of life and death, I have never encountered such a good place.

The deeper you go into the cave, the wider it becomes, but unfortunately, there are fewer and fewer herbs, and the elixir is basically gone. Moonstone, on the other hand, is getting higher and higher in quality and getting bigger. Most of the people have given up picking herbs and are busy pulling out large bags and digging up moonstones.

"Let's dig up a piece of moonstone, and go back and make it for lighting. Thinking of this, Yaoluo began to pick up his short knife and prepare to find a good moonstone.

Look left and right, everyone is busy digging up large pieces, and they don't have to choose. I had to walk to the front alone, and at this time, Yaoluo's eyes lit up and saw a round moonstone the size of a fist, sandwiched between several large moonstones. Walking forward, Yaoluo found that this moonstone was not particularly bright, but it seemed to be absorbing the bright light of the moonstone around her.

That's it, Yaoluo carefully stabbed the moonstone with a short knife, and this stab stunned Yaoluo. He had seen with his own eyes how laborious it was for those strong men to dig moonstones. But he easily stabbed into it, and he was sure that although his strength was greater than that of his peers, it was definitely not as strong as those strong men.

"What's going on?" Yaoluo thought to herself.

"Could it be this black short knife? This time, he felt that his grandfather was still more reliable, and what he didn't throw to him was a broken knife.

Soon, the round moonstone was in his hand, and Yaoluo happily hid it.

Digging into the moonstone she wanted, Yaoluo breathed a sigh of relief and glanced forward. He saw that a black and white scale more than ten meters long on the ground was reflected with a little starlight under the illumination of the moonstone.

Yaoluo's face turned pale with fright, took a deep breath, and gently retreated. What a big snake it is, and everyone has come to its lair.

Uncle Wolf had stopped and was looking at everyone. Suddenly, he saw Yaoluo retreating step by step, and he felt bad. Stood up with a knife.

"Luo'er......" Uncle Wolf called softly.

Yaoluo didn't turn her head, but lay down and put her ears to the ground. He heard a "snort" sound coming quickly towards him.

"Not good. Yaoluo's sweat covered her forehead. He turned around sharply, ran towards everyone, and shouted at everyone, "There are snakes." ”

When everyone reacted, they found that he had run to everyone's side from a distance of more than ten meters.

"Run, big snake. Yaoluo pulled the stunned Ye Dan and quickly retreated.

More than a dozen people who were digging moonstone stopped, and they all took their weapons and looked into the depths of the stone cave. They showed their fearlessness in the face of danger.

In fact, they think of nothing more than "a snake".

"It's broken. Seeing that everyone seemed to be waiting for the snake, Yaoluo secretly felt that something was wrong. Although he didn't see the snake, he could see from the skin of the snake that it would be a terrible snake.

The serpent was already hurrying towards everyone, and he didn't have time to explain to them, he had just seen the sharp scales of the snake's skin, and he felt a large cloud of sour saliva from the snake. These let Yaoluo know that this snake has lived for many years, and in ancient times, such a snake had almost become a dragon or a dragon.

In short, whatever the outcome, fleeing immediately is the best option.
