Chapter 148: The Secret Realm of the Black Evil Valley (5)

"I found it, here," Qiu Gongzi shouted, pointing to the map, "right here near the entrance to the 'Blackwater Swamp'." ”

Zhang Gongzi let out a "ah" and muttered, "With the 'Blackwater Swamp' so close, this location looks quite risky." ”

Bai Yiting nodded: "Yes, I know that place is close to the 'Blackwater Swamp', and I know that the closer to the 'Blackwater Swamp', the better things you can get." That's what my cousin thought back then. Venture close to the 'Blackwater Swamp' and get the miraculous medicine of the 'Danhe Zhuguo'. So this time I decided to go back to that place, and if you're afraid, you can quit now. I don't stop it. ”

Ding Jian and Ding Kang said in a very resolute tone: "We are willing to follow Brother Bai there to take risks." ”

"If I can pick the 'Danhe Zhuguo', then of course I want to take a risk, and the uncle who participated in the secret realm meeting also told me that in the 'Black Evil Valley', the more dangerous the place, the better you can get, and I think this kind of risk is worth taking. Zhen Suishu looked at Lu Zhan and inquired, "Brother Lu, what do you mean?"

Lu Zhan replied resolutely: "Then I'll go and see it too." He Lu Zhan was quite moved by Bai Yiting's words, he was now at the bottleneck of the peak of the Qi Condensation Realm, if he could get a third-level pill to improve his martial arts attainment, of course he didn't want to miss this opportunity, even if it would take a great risk.

That Zhao Sheng, Qiu Gongzi and Zhang Gongzi are the three with the lowest martial arts cultivation among the eight people in this line, Zhao Sheng and Qiu Gongzi saw that the other five people were willing to take a risk, thinking that there are many people with great strength, if they really encounter danger, there are also martial arts cultivators who are higher to support themselves, so they also decided to take risks together.

The remaining Zhang Gongzi was still hesitating, he looked at the drawings again and again, and asked Bai Yiting: "I see that on this map, there are two places next to the 'Black Water Swamp' marked with a 'very dangerous' pattern, one is the 'Wind Thunder Cave', and the other is the 'Pansi Forest', but I don't know what dangers this 'Wind Thunder Cave' hides?"

Bai Yiting's eyes flickered twice, and he replied: "My cousin told me that there was a very powerful fierce beast in the 'Wind Thunder Cave', and when he went to the vicinity of the 'Wind Thunder Cave', he tried his best to hide the body odor and sound on his body, and did not alarm the fierce beasts in the 'Wind Thunder Cave', so he arrived safely at the place where the 'Danhe Zhuguo' grew. ”

"That's the case!" Zhang Gongzi said with a happy face: "If we try to be careful when we arrive near the 'Wind Thunder Cave' and don't alarm the fierce beasts in the cave, then the danger of our trip is still relatively small, Brother Bai, isn't that the case?"

Bai Yiting and the Ding brothers both laughed friendly and said in unison, "Of course. ”

"Okay, then I'll go. Zhang Gongzi finally made up his mind.

Bai Yiting and the Ding brothers looked at each other and smiled, and a strange cold glint flashed in their eyes.

Unfortunately, the other five were so immersed in the anticipation of a good harvest that none of them noticed the real danger hidden in this adventure.

Under the leadership of Bai Yiting, several people continued to advance towards the hinterland of the "Black Evil Valley", and in the evening, they finally walked outside the "Black Water Swamp".

Eight people bent their waists and quietly walked to a small hill near the "Blackwater Swamp", and they crouched on the ground and looked in the direction of the "Blackwater Swamp".

I saw a large swamp area in front of me, and the water in the swamp was pitch black. From a distance, it seems that there is a large black and oppressive death zone in front of you, which makes people feel a shocking feeling.

There was a thin green mist on the surface of the water, and there was silence all around, not even the sound of insects and birds, and there was no sense of any life.

In the heart of the swamp, there is a small, wooded island surrounded by black water on three sides, except to the north, where a grassy path connects to the land.

Bai Yiting and the Ding brothers half-raised their heads to observe the surrounding terrain, Bai Yiting pointed to the only trail on the island that connected to the land, and whispered: "Have you seen that trail, there is a dense forest where the trail connects with the land, that is, the 'Pansi Forest'. There is a small mountain further out of the forest, and there is a deep cave at the foot of the mountain, which is where the 'Wind and Thunder Cave' is located. There is a wetland next to the 'Wind Thunder Cave', and it was in that wetland that my cousin found the 'Danhe Zhuguo'. Let's touch it now, please try to slow down your steps, restrain your qi, and don't make any movement. ”

As he spoke, he took the lead and walked in the direction of the path that connected the island.

The other seven followed him one after another, touching the north side of the "Blackwater Swamp".

Lu Zhan walked last, it was dark at this time, he walked, while looking up at the island in the swamp, suddenly, he found that in the center of the island, there seemed to be a cloud of blue hazy light, but the blue light was blocked by dense trees, and he couldn't see what was hidden under the blue light.

Lu Zhan let out a soft "huh" from his mouth.

"What's wrong?" asked Zhen Suishu, who was walking in front of him, looking back at him.

"Do you see the blue light on that island?" Lu Zhan pointed to the island and whispered.

Zhen Suishu turned his head to look at the island and shook his head: "I haven't seen any light." ”

"It's weird. Lu Zhan muttered in a low voice: "Why is it that in my eyes, there is a cyan light flickering in the center of the island?

Zhen Suishu smiled: "It's probably the time of fall, and what you see is the glow reflected when it sets." ”

Zhao Sheng, who was walking in front, heard the sound of talking behind him, and he turned around and made a "silence" gesture: "Shhh, don't talk, we're almost at the 'Wind Thunder Cave'." ”

Lu Zhan and Zhen Suishu both honestly closed their mouths and silently followed behind the team.

Everyone walked in silence for a while, and they had come to the north of the "Black Water Swamp", they followed Bai Yiting and continued to walk forward, gradually, the road under their feet became narrower and narrower, and the originally wide green grass on both sides of the road was replaced by black water. At this moment, they are actually advancing towards the heart of the swamp.

Lu Zhan turned his eyes to look at the swamp next to him, only to see that the water in the swamp was as black as ink, faintly emitting a fishy smell. The black liquid looked very thick, there was a thin layer of green mist floating on the surface of the water, and from time to time a series of blisters flooded out of the water, and there were no aquatic plants on the water surface, and even the soil around the swamp was pitch black, giving people the feeling that this was a pool of stagnant water, a dead place, and people could not feel any life here.

At this moment, a small mountain appeared before them, and at the foot of the mountain they could clearly see a dark cave, and the path that led to the small island in the middle of the swamp winded right in front of it.

Zhen Suishu lowered his voice and said to Lu Zhan: "Be careful, we are already close to the 'Wind Thunder Cave'. ”

"Well, I've saved it. ”

At this moment, Qiu Gongzi, who was walking in front, suddenly let out an exclamation of "ah", so frightened that the Ding brothers who were walking at the front of the team quickly bowed down, Ding Jian glared at Qiu Gongzi behind him viciously, and scolded in his mouth: "Are you dead or what?"

"Look, what is that?" Qiu Gongzi said in surprise as he pointed to the side of the road.

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and saw an unusually tall ancient locust tree on the side of the road, the locust tree looked completely dead, and the entire trunk was bare without a single leaf. But among the branches at the top of the dead tree, there were a few orange-yellow vines.

There were still a few pale golden flowers growing on those orange-yellow vines, and the rhizomes of those vines actually extended from the middle of the trunks of dead trees. On a dead tree, there are such beautiful plants hanging on it, which is particularly eye-catching.

Everyone ran to the dead tree and looked up at the orange vines hanging from the tree.

Zhen Suishuping said that he had read the most books and had the most knowledge, he carefully looked at the vines, and muttered: "Orange branches, golden flowers, parasitic vines." Yes, this should be the rumored 'Soul Eater Vine'. ”

"Ah, this turned out to be the 'Soul Devouring Vine'?" Bai Yiting, Zhao Sheng and the others heard this name, and their originally surprised faces became solemn.

Lu Zhan knew the least about this knowledge, and asked Zhen Suishu in confusion: "Is there anything peculiar about this 'Soul Devouring Vine'?"

Zhen Suishu pointed to the dead tree and said, "How old do you see this tree?"

Lu Zhan looked at the thick trunk and said, "It doesn't look like it will be less than one or two hundred years." ”

"Yes, it will certainly not be less than two hundred years. Zhen Suishu said: "'Soul Devouring Vine' is a very rare parasitic plant, it will only parasitize on the kind of tree that is hundreds of years old, and then rely on absorbing the essence of that big tree to grow, and when it grows up, the life essence of that big tree is also absorbed by it and dies, and the name 'Soul Devouring Vine' comes from this." Legend has it that this 'Soul Devouring Vine' has a hint of immortal treasure of the ancient god tree, and its vine branches and flowers are dried and ground into powder, which is an excellent raw material for making legendary intermediate spells, so this kind of thing is very sought-after in the market, and its value is even much higher than that of making third-level elixirs. ”

"Oh, that's the raw material for making spells. Lu Zhan remembered the "Arm of the Giant Spirit God" that he had come into contact with, as well as the spells such as the "Ghost King Spiritual Power Talisman" that he was carrying now. They all have very magical spells, and the materials used must also be something with extraordinary talents, so when I think about it, I feel that this "Soul Devouring Vine" in front of me is particularly magical.

"Everyone," Zhang Gongzi stretched out his hands and stopped in front of everyone, "According to the rules we agreed in advance to obtain items by number, it is now my turn to own this 'Soul Eater Vine', so it should be up to me to collect it." ”

Zhen Suishu let out a sigh and muttered, "It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity that it wasn't my turn." ”

Qiu Gongzi next to him was dissatisfied and said: "Why should you own it alone? You see that there are obviously several branches and flowers here, in my opinion, my number is right behind you, and I should share it equally with you." ”

Zhang Gongzi argued: "Although there are several branches, there is only one rhizome, which means that this can only be regarded as one, so it can only be owned by one person." ”

"No, it can't be counted according to the rhizome, it should be counted according to the branches. Zhao Sheng stepped in and said, "There are a total of six branches hanging on this tree, and I see that the three of us have two each, and we are all very happy." ”

"your fart. Zhang Gongzi said angrily: "Each person is divided into two, so how much can be dried and ground into powder? No, it has to be counted according to the rhizome." ”
