Chapter 145: The Secret Realm of the Black Evil Valley (2)
Zhen Suishu stuffed the two "five-colored Mercury grasses" into the big backpack behind him. By this time, the backpacks they were carrying were all soaked, but they didn't care about it. At this time, the more precious medicinal materials you can collect, the better, and bring a backpack with you to put things in handy. This "five-colored Mercury grass" is very rare because it only grows in snowy pools formed by natural volcanic craters, and it is rare to find such a large number of them today.
A few people followed Zhen Suishu back to the bottom of the water, and at the bottom of this waterhole, there were many strange-shaped rocks, which were stacked on top of the water like volcanic reefs, and there were many holes and stone crevices on the rocks, and those "five-colored Mercury grasses" grew between the rock crevices.
After the eight of them dived to the bottom, they scattered and searched for each other. They are highly skilled in martial arts and can hold it for a long time in one breath, so diving is not difficult for them. As Zhen Suishu said, there are many "five-colored Mercury grasses" growing under this pool, which must be picked up or drilled into the crevices of rocks and reefs because they all grow under rocks and reefs.
But those strangely shaped rocks are very strong and hard, and it takes a lot of effort to pick them apart. Fortunately, these people's martial arts attainments have all reached the realm of condensation, and several of them have high-level weapons in their hands, so it is not difficult to pick up the rocks and obtain the "Five-Colored Mercury Grass" below.
Lu Zhan also picked six "five-colored Mercury grasses" in a short period of time, just as he put his arm into the crack of a rock to pick the seventh plant. Suddenly, I felt the rocks around me shake violently a few times. He turned his head to look to the side, and saw that Bai Yiting and the Ding brothers were teaming up to violently hit several huge rocks with their own qi, looking at the excited expressions on their faces, as if they had found treasures, it must be that under those huge rocks, there are many "five-colored Mercury grasses".
After a strong tremor, the boulders were blasted open by the three of them, revealing a large hole six feet away. The three of them got into the cave in turn, and Zhao Sheng, Zhang Gongzi, and Qiu Gongzi, who were swimming beside them, also swam to the edge of the cave and stretched out their heads to look down.
Suddenly, the faces of the three of them showed a look of horror, as if they had seen something very terrible, and they swam away from the mouth of the cave and scrambled to swim towards the water.
Not long after, the Ding brothers and Bai Yiting also swam out of the cave in a panic and swam desperately to the surface.
"Oh no! Something must have happened. Seeing this, Lu Zhan had a bad premonition in his heart, he reacted immediately, and quickly swam to the side, and next to a rock more than three zhang away from him, Zhen Suishu was burying his head to collect the "five-colored mercury grass" under the rock.
Lu Zhan quickly swam to Zhen Suishu's side and dragged him up from under the rock, and at this moment, a large cloud of muddy sand suddenly emerged from the hole that was opened by Bai Yiting and the Ding brothers, and then a creepy figure came out of the hole...... What came out of the deep hole in the water was a cyan python that was three or four feet long and as thick as two or three people hugging. It turns out that the hole hidden under the rock is a snake den!
I saw that the giant python was covered in blue, with red gold spots on its body, a big head was extremely hideous, and its two eyes were shining with a cold green light. Presumably Bai Yiting and a few others offended the territory of this fierce beast and completely angered it, after the giant python drilled out of the hole, it twisted its long body and chased after a few people on the water, but it didn't find Lu Zhan and Zhen Suishu hiding not far from the cave.
After the giant python swam up, Zhen Suishu, who was hiding behind a rock not far away, gestured to Lu Zhan, signaling the two to dive and swim to the shore to avoid the giant python above.
However, Lu Zhan smiled slightly, and pointed to the cave under the rock, meaning that he wanted to explore the snake's den.
Zhen Suishu hesitantly raised his head and looked above the water, only to see the waves above rolling, the snake shadow shaking, presumably the people on the water and the snake had already fought a big battle, at this time he swam to the shore again, maybe he would be swept into that battle. He didn't have a good impression of Bai Yiting, the Ding brothers and a few others, so he nodded to Lu Zhan and said that he was willing to take this opportunity to explore the snake's den.
The two of them swam close to the snake cave under the rock, and first looked inside, only to see that there were several large and deep caves in the snake cave, leading to several directions, probably this snake cave can reach in all directions. It is very difficult for such a huge python to turn around in this kind of cave, so it is indeed a very reasonable structure to let the caves connect with each other.
It stands to reason that this snake's cave is under the water, and the light is dim and deep, and the cave should have been even darker. However, in the depths of the snake's den, there was a pink-purple light constantly flickering, making the cave faintly filled with light and shadow, and the sight was not as limited by the fetters of darkness as imagined.
Zhen Suishu made a bead gesture with his hand, indicating that Lu Zhan's glowing object might be the Night Pearl. Lu Zhan nodded, and the two of them swam towards the glowing place at the same time.
They quickly swam into the deep snake cave, through a long corridor, and came to the glowing place, only to see that the glowing was not a night pearl, but four very strange-looking aquatic plants.
Zhen glanced at the aquatic plants with the book, and saw that the four plants grew on a few green strange rocks full of holes, the appearance of the plants looked a bit like coral, with brightly colored branches, but the parts near the rhizome were a little like gourds, and the whole plant glowed with a pink-purple light.
Zhen Suishu showed joy and made a "three" gesture to Lu Zhan, which actually meant: These aquatic plants turned out to be the raw materials for the manufacture of third-grade pills.
He quickly pulled a dagger out of his backpack and carefully dug into the roots of the aquatic plant.
Lu Zhan also followed his example, took out the dagger that had been tempered into a crystal shape by the extremely cold ice flame from the small space in his abdomen, and dug into the root of a glowing aquatic plant.
In order to ensure the survival of the aquatic plant, and to keep the rhizome of the plant as intact as possible, they first dug up one plant and then dug down the second plant.
At this moment, from a deep cavern behind them, two miserable blue lights flashed.
The two green rays of light were far apart at first, but in the blink of an eye, they drifted from the other end of the cave to the front of them, and quickly pounced behind the two of them.
By this time, the two had dug up the second glowing plant by the roots. Lu Zhan first felt a strange change in the flow of water behind him, he turned his head to look behind him, but suddenly saw a huge snake head attacking him, the snake head opened a huge snake kiss, between the four sharp fangs of Bai Sensen, a bright red letter with a fork rolled between the bloody mouth, and it was about to bite his head!
In desperation, Lu Zhan threw the dagger in his hand into the bloody mouth, and the crystal-like dagger cut a cold light and shot straight at the base of the tongue of the huge snake mouth.
The sharp pain caused the python's head to shrink back, and the bloody mouth suddenly closed in front of Lu Zhan, and Lu Zhan even heard the sound of four fangs crashing together, and he was bitten by the python by just a fraction of a second.
Because of the sharp pain in the mouth, the giant python's long snake body twitched violently in the cave, and the water waves stirred by its tumbling body in the snake's cave tumbled, the mud and sand surged, and the stones at the top of the cave were hit by the twitching snake body and collapsed.
Taking advantage of the giant python's struggle, Lu Zhan and Zhen Suishu quickly stuffed the glowing plant in their hands into their backpacks, and then quickly swam into the corridor next to them, and the two of them swam out of the cave along the corridor with all their might.
Seeing that the light ahead was gradually brightening, I knew that I was about to approach the entrance of the cave. At this time, Lu Zhan felt that the water behind him was fluctuating rapidly, he turned his head to look back, only to see two miserable and vicious eyes behind him tightly covering his body, and the giant python with an injured mouth was chasing after him at this moment, getting closer and closer to them.
It seemed that the thoroughly enraged python was swimming significantly faster than them.
No, you have to think about blocking its momentum, otherwise you have to catch up.
Lu Zhan suddenly stopped his body, he twitched his qi machine to gather his palms, and slammed two palms into the stone wall above the road, and several rocks were suddenly collapsed by him, blocking the road.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this could be regarded as blocking the giant python.
But before he could turn around and swim away, he saw the collapsed stones flying to the side, and the giant python had already smashed through the stones and bit him with its huge mouth open.
Lu Zhan kicked hard with both feet, and his body suddenly jumped backwards, and the huge snake mouth closed behind his feet, and he was almost bitten.
At this time, Zhen Suishu had already swam to the entrance of the snake cave, he turned around to look behind, but saw Lu Zhan swimming quickly in the direction of the cave entrance, and behind him, two turquoise snake eyes flashed with extremely vicious light, closely following behind him, chasing closer and closer.
Zhen swam out of the cave with the book first, but instead of swimming to the water, he turned over and took out his proud weapon "Danshu Iron Scroll" and waited at the entrance of the cave.
Lu Zhan swam out of the cave after him, and when he saw the giant python's head chasing after him and sticking out of the hole, Zhen Suishu slashed at the big snake head with the "Danshu Iron Scroll" in his hand.
I saw that the silver light flashed, and the "Danshu Iron Scroll" cut through the water, and the sharp blade was slashed at the snake's neck, but the sharp iron scroll did not cut off the snake's head, and was actually blocked by the hard snake scales.
Although the snake's head was not cut off, the python also temporarily retracted its head into the hole due to pain.
Lu Zhan pointed to his nostrils and gestured to Zhen Suishu, indicating that he couldn't hold his breath anymore, and Zhen Suishu felt the same way, so the two had to give up the idea of guarding the entrance of the cave, and at the same time paddling to the water.
Not long after they swam up, the python came out of the hole again and chased the two men who were floating on the surface of the water.
Lu Zhan and Zhen Suishu came out of the water, the two of them gasped heavily, and Zhen Suishu shouted: "Good girl, the snake scales of this damn giant python are harder than the eighth-level iron armor, and even my ninth-level 'Danshu Iron Scroll' can't help it." ”
