Volume 4: Test Feather One Hundred and Seventy-Seven: Red Valley, Big Toad and Big Fish

"There's still something coming." Li Jian said again.

As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly something "poof" jumped down from the top of the valley not far away, and then the sound of "poof" continued, mixed with this "coo" sound, several people looked uncomfortable, those who jumped down were actually a group of huge toads the size of a bucket, and the fat, round body was squatting there, and the one who jumped down first looked up, staring at it with greedy eyes, and spit out a long blood-red tongue that was nearly a foot long and blood-red when it was aimed at the nocturnae in the red light. At once, the two entangled night larvae were glued, and the long tongue went back quickly, and when it returned to the toad's mouth, it seemed that the fellow could see that the guy was still chewing with satisfaction.

The number of toads jumping down is really a lot, one after another, almost dense in this valley, their purpose is the nocturnal larvae in the red light, countless red long tongues keep spitting up from a big mouth, the speed of the long tongue is too fast, all with the sound of whistling wind, the whole valley seems to have countless long whips in the non-stop waving like a sound, every time a long tongue returns to the mouth, the nocturnal larvae in the red light are caught and eaten, It seems that these large toads have taken the nocturnal larvae that breed here as a feast.

The five of them looked at all this in a daze.

However, Qian Chao found that although the night worms in the red light were constantly being eaten by the big toads below, they didn't seem to be less at all, I am afraid that there was an endless stream of night larvae joining in, but the stomach of the newly added night worms was not so red, in the end, they were not open, and they didn't know that there was a fatal danger here, and they still rushed into the red light one after another.

Several other people gradually found out, Yan Xuan looked at the night worm that was constantly sticking to the mouth with the tongue of the big toad below, and muttered:

"I've been eaten so much, and there are no fewer of those bugs, how many nocturnae are there around here?"

"It's hard to count, let's catch up today, probably now this night is the most important night for the night larvae, so it's all out, anyway, this big toad always has a full time, and there is always a fluke that hasn't been eaten, and when these big toads are full, other night worms can lay eggs and reproduce."

Compared with these insects, Lu Pingchuan is more interested in those big toads, he once used his master Kang Pu seniors to kill a mirage with the technique of "roaring", that mirage looks like a big toad the size of a millstone, much bigger than the size of these gathered in the valley now, it is also a coincidence, when a big toad passed by the hole of several people, a jump fell into the lock spirit array arranged by Qian Chao, and after the guy landed, he was motionless as if he was dead, Lu Pingchuan stared at the immovable toad carefully.

"This ...... This demon beast is a big toad," Lu Pingchuan muttered, "Good girl, it's the first time I've seen so many!" Sister Tang, is this big toad useful? ”

Tang Ping glanced at the big toad lying motionless in the Lock Spirit Array, and said:

"This kind of name is Mai Toad, barely counted as a demon beast, it's useless, it can take some toad crisp to use, Sister Yan should have some prescriptions to use, but this Mai Toad's toad is not a very good thing, if we need toad crisp, there are better toads to find, these guys don't need to use it."

"Oh, Shiro has grown so big." Lu Pingchuan said with some pity.

After watching for a while, gradually, the five people found that with the greedy eating of those big toads, those guys began to glow with some faint red light, and the red light on the big toad who had eaten much earlier was brighter, and these red lights were concentrated on the back of the big toad, uneven, and the red light on the protruding back of the tumor mound was shining, indescribably weird, looking at the valley, it was like a lot of red lanterns lit on the ground, and it kept jumping, but the four legs and belly of the big toad were not.

"This red light...... They're all here for this red light! ”

"This kind of red light must be good for these demon beasts, the Mai Toad can't float in the red light like the night worm, so it can only be obtained by eating the night worm," Tang Ping stared outside, "However, this red light will definitely not attract only these two guys, wait a minute, before dawn, there should be a lot of things coming here." ”

"Sister Tang, is this red light good for us monks?" Lu Pingchuan asked.

"There should be," Tang Ping suddenly laughed, "Brother Lu, you go out and catch a few of the brightest toads, set up a fire and roast them, probably the red light will be able to replenish you." ”

Several people couldn't help but laugh when they heard it.

Lu Pingchuan looked at the ugly appearance of the big toad, thought about it and gave up.

Money tide says:

"I have read in books that in some mines that produce spirit stones, sometimes there will be such a light, but it is not red, but blue and white, it is said that when that kind of light appears, if we monks practice in that light, it is very beneficial, much better than the spiritual vein."

"And this kind of thing!" Yan Xuan listened curiously.

唐萍 says:

"I've heard of this, and it's in the Tang family, what my sixth grandfather told me, the Tang family has a few spirit stone veins in their own hands that are being excavated, and this kind of thing has happened in that mine, hum! My third grandfather knew about it and rushed over, but he still didn't meet, he stayed in the mine for more than a year, but he waited in vain, and after he left disappointed, he appeared again, but it was much lighter than the last time the blue and white light was much lighter, and the duration was short, it seems that my third grandfather is an unlucky person! ”

Because of some old things, Tang Ping had a bad impression of her third grandfather, so she gloated when she talked about it.

Lu Pingchuan was very moved when he heard it:

"Eh, Brother Qian, can we also find a vein of spirit stone?"

Qian Chao said with a smile: "Where is it so easy to find, a spirit stone vein is enough to support a family, and if you find a place, you can start a mountain and establish a faction, but these families in the world seem to have only many of them, and there are many who have died, but there are few new ones, which shows that this kind of vein is difficult to find." ”

Several people were chatting, Li Jian's expression moved, and said:

"There's something in the waterhole."

When they heard this, they stopped talking and looked at the pool.

"Bang" a sound of water, in the eyes of several people, a human arm so long, calf so thick a big fish rushed up from the pool water, with a string of water droplets that were reflected red, jumped up more than two feet high, in the drifting red light, I saw that the silver fish reflecting the red light opened its mouth and swallowed the night worm in the red light, when it fell, it actually swallowed two into it, and then fell back into the water with a "poof" sound.

"Huh! What a big fish! Lu Pingchuan was happy when he saw it, the big toad was naturally inedible, and he felt uncomfortable when he saw it, but such a big fish, thinking that the fish meat must be delicious, at this time he really moved the idea of setting up a fire to grill the fish.

Yan Xuan said: "I didn't expect the fish to come here to grab the insects to eat!" ”

Then the five people were even more surprised, the pool of water seemed to be boiling, the sound of the water "bang-la-la-la" was non-stop, and there were fish jumping up from the water, opening their mouths to compete to grab the nocturnae in the red light, the fish that jumped up and the fish that were falling can sometimes collide together, and even the slow ones jumped up from behind and flew up at a moment, and suddenly this small pool became lively, the water splashed, the water droplets splashed, and the sound of the water was endless.

But in the end, this waterhole is not very big, so there will not be much red light floating above the waterhole, and the fish in the water are a lot of appearance, so it seems that only the fish that jumped up at the beginning ate the nocturnal larvae in the red light, and even if they jumped up, it was in vain, in the end, it was the fish, it was stupid, and when they saw the nocturnae in the red light elsewhere, they were anxious, and they jumped up obliquely and rushed to the red light, and the insects ate it, but when they fell, they could never return to the pool water, It even smashed into those big toads and startled the big toads. There are quite a few such fish, tossing and jumping on the ground, some lucky can jump back into the pool, and some can only jump on the ground, and even get farther and farther away from the direction of the pool, but they are not worried about them dying of dehydration, the pool of water is churning, and a lot of water is splashed out, but it can also make them linger for a while.

Lu Pingchuan was even more overjoyed when he saw it, he was thinking about whether to catch a few fish and go back and roast them, now it's good, he doesn't even have to do it himself, these stupid fish are fighting to jump to the ground by themselves, this is really a good thing that he didn't expect, staring at the big fish jumping on the ground, he smiled:

"Hehe, these fish can't be ruined when they go back!"

Tang Ping was also staring at those fish, from the first time she jumped out of the water, she stared at those fish, stared for a while as if she was sure of something, she said:

"This waterhole should be a sea eye, and from here down, along its course, it should lead straight to the sea to the south."

"Oh?" After hearing this, several people became interested again, and Qian Chao asked, "How can you see it?" ”

Tang Ping pointed to the fish on the ground that was still twisting and jumping violently with his hand and said:

"It's very simple, this kind of fish is not available in inland lakes and rivers at all, but a kind of sea fish, which can be regarded as a kind of inferior or non-high-quality demon beast in the sea."

Hearing this, Qian Chao immediately took out a map, looked at it through the red light in the cave, and then said in surprise:

"It's so far away!"

Tang Ping said again:

"There must be more than one eye of the sea, I know a few, it was my sister Ruoyu who told me, I will mark it on your map when I go back, and when it comes to a certain time every year, the demon beasts in the sea will come out of those sea eyes, or forage for food or do other things, well, it seems that there will be such a thing after a while, it should be very lively, it is said that if you kill the demon beasts in the sea, you can get a lot of good things, but I don't know what it is, It's just that most of the monks in the sect who go to join in the fun are high-level Qi refining cultivators, so we have to be more careful if we go, but what, I'll ask again when I go back, there are always some sea eyes that others don't know, so how about we go to those places to try our luck when the time comes? ”

Yan Xuan said in surprise: "There is such a thing! ”

Li Jian was quite moved when he heard it.

Lu Pingchuan was naturally even more happy: "Eh, then we must go, I heard that the things in the sea are more delicious than the things on the ground!" ”

……

After another while, Li Jian's expression moved.

"It's a little weird."

Li Jian kept letting go of his senses, and through this, he found something vaguely wrong.

"Brother Li, what's wrong?" Tang Ping asked.

"Those fish," Li Jian pointed out with his hand, "I have been staring, the first fish to eat the insects have long gone, and the later ones I noticed that as long as they are lucky enough to eat one or two noctuariae, they are all in a hurry to dive down, and they swim away without looking back, and even some timid fish in the water, they are about to swim to the surface, somehow, but instead of rushing up to grab the nocturnal larvae to eat, they turn back, you see, although there are still a lot of fish, but there are many fewer than at the beginning, One after another, a lot of fish even if they jumped up and didn't eat the bugs, they all ran away, just like running away, is there something coming over again? ”

Several people listened and looked over, and sure enough, there were really fewer fish in the pool, and the water in the pool was not as churning as at the beginning, and the nocturnal larvae in the red light above the waterhole were much denser than when there were the most fish and the competition was the most fierce, but there were fewer fish, could it be that there was really something powerful coming over?

I just don't know if the awesome guy who might come will come from the ground or get out of that bottomless pool!

"Isn't there going to be something coming out of that pool tonight?" Qian Chao said.

"I can't say for sure, if it's true, we'll kill it and bring it back." Lu Pingchuan said.
