Volume 5: The First Song 221: Layout of Kenzuka Mountain (3)

Inside the small valley, Yan Xuan was digging up a spirit grass with excellent color with a concentrated expression.

Li Jian, Lu Pingchuan and Tang Ping were guarding Yan Xuan's side, Tang Ping also looked up through the branches and leaves of the forest above his head from time to time, on it, Qian Chao's figure was patrolling back and forth, busy, and the small valley where the five of them were at this time was buzzing.

Frustrated at the Shattered Star Lake, they were prevented from flying directly over the Shattered Star Lake, so they changed direction and walked along the edge of the lake, and finally crossed a large river that extended from the lake, and came to this small valley.

There is no name for this small valley on the map, and the name of this small valley that Qian Chao got from different senior brothers is also different, some people call it "Bee Valley", and some people call it "Hanging Corpse Valley".

It is called "Bee Valley" because in this valley is the habitat of a large poisonous bee called the "Golden-winged Black-backed Frog", the smallest of which is the size of a date, and the size of the common visible is like a chicken egg, and many of them are as strong as Lu Pingchuan's fist. The golden pair of wings waved a cloud of golden light, but this poisonous bee has a pitch-black ink line on its back from head to tail, and the larger the poisonous bee, the thicker the black ink line, hence the name.

Speaking of which, this poisonous bee is only a low-level demon insect, and only the leading queen bee in a group is a low-level high-grade, but for the qi refining cultivators in the Five Spirit Sect, this golden-winged black-backed sandfly is a terrifying existence, and there are three reasons for this.

The first is that the poison of this poisonous bee is violent, if you are accidentally stung by this poisonous bee, the body will immediately begin to be paralyzed in severe pain, this poisonous bee will never act alone, as long as it is found that it is a swarm of continuous pieces, black pressure to fly in, if the body is numb, it will inevitably be inconvenient, the speed slows down, that is only to be caught up by the bee colony and a dead end;

The second is that this kind of poisonous bee flies very fast, although they can't fly very high, but they come and go freely in low altitudes, and the idle Qi refining cultivators are not even as fast as this poisonous bee, which is also their headache;

The third is that this kind of poisonous bees have a fierce and violent temperament, and they are eager to kill and fight, if they regard a place as their territory, then no matter what invades, it will immediately lead the entire bee colony to pour out of the nest, and fight to the death with the invading monsters or monks, or destroy the group themselves or kill the other party, even if the other party escapes, they will chase after them.

It was these three reasons that made the Five Spirit disciples stay away from this poisonous bee.

Demon insects are also very common in the cultivation world, compared to demon beasts or demon birds, their grade is generally not high, but in the cultivation world, monks would rather hunt more ferocious and high-level demon beasts and monster birds than easily provoke demon insects, because although the grade of demon insects is not high, most of the demon insects are born in groups, even if it is a small group of demon insects, the number is difficult to count, when attacking, it is like a black fog rushing to the face, the head and feet, the front and back of the body and all directions are biting, which is unguardable, and that's it, The most frightening thing is that demon insects are often poisonous, and they are already difficult to resist if they are bitten or stung, and the pain after poisoning is not to mention, it is estimated that it is difficult to escape from the poisonous attack, so in the cultivation world, monks generally do not easily provoke demon insects.

As for this valley, it is also known as the "Hanging Corpse Valley", it is due to the beehive of this golden-winged black-backed sandfly.

The hive of this poisonous bee hangs from the branches of trees in the valley, and looks like a calf or a ...... wrapped in rotten linen Human corpses!

As bold as Lu Pingchuan was also startled when he saw the scene in this valley, and before he came in, he shouted that there were so many dead people hanging here!

There is more than one beehive here, at a glance, the valley is full of trees, and under the canopy there are many such beehives gently swaying in the breeze, as if I don't know how many people have been tortured and killed here, and then the murderers will hang their bodies here to be exposed, and even on the mountain walls on both sides of the valley, those thick and crooked vine branches are also hung with such beehives, at first glance, this small valley is chilling.

But there's something good here.

This kind of poisonous bee is very good at isolating other demon beasts outside this small valley, so Yan Xuan, who is sensitive to spirit grass, quickly found out that there are a lot of excellent spirit grasses here, which are better than in the Ten Thousand Arrows Forest, and although this poisonous bee is powerful, if she can catch some and then try to take out its venom, she can prepare some good antidote and healing medicine.

And when Qian Chao saw the terrain of this small valley, especially the big poisonous bees flying around in the buzzing here, his heart immediately moved, and he realized that this was also a good place to deal with Wenliang.

Then the five people were divided into two groups, with the help of the hidden spirit array on their bodies, they entered this valley and were not noticed by the dense bee swarm in the forest, Qian Chao began to arrange in this valley alone, first he wanted to arrange the formation here, and then he had to do his hands and feet on the dense beehives hanging on the trees, if it could be used here in the future, it would definitely be a powerful trap.

The other four were together, Yan Xuan overcame the fear of the buzzing sound in the valley in her heart, and forced her mind to dig up the spiritual grass on the ground, while the other three stayed by her side.

In fact, Li Jian had a sense of déjà vu when he saw the scene in this valley, his residence in Muxiufeng was a purple bamboo forest, there were wild bees in the bamboo forest, the taste of wild honey was still very good, once Li Jian in order to protect the wild bees in his forest almost killed a poisonous bee on the other side of the mountain called "Tiger Black Sandfly", and the hive of the Tiger Black Sandfly is very similar to that in this valley, but the golden-winged blackback sandfly is much more powerful than the tiger striped black sandfly he has dealt with!

After all, it is a close contact with this wild bee, even if its own aura fluctuations can be masked, but if it makes a noise or accidentally touches a large beehive hanging upside down, it may alarm the entire bee colony. Therefore, the five people were quiet in this valley, and even Lu Pingchuan, who had always been talkative, was silent at this time, except for staying by Yan Xuan's side, he was curiously looking at a dark yellow beehive not far away, watching there were big wild bees flying in and out. At this time, what they had to ask and say to each other was through gestures, Lu Pingchuan stared at Tang Ping for a long time, and then compared to Tang Ping with a look of eating, and pointed to a big beehive, as if asking if there would be honey in it, and Tang Ping shook his head, but he didn't know how to use gestures to express that this poisonous bee only eats meat and does not make honey, so he could only shake his head again. On the top of Tang Ping's head, the two sword mantis beasts that usually turned into a jasper hairpin are now visible, and the two small heads stared at the poisonous bees flying around their heads, which seemed to be very coveted, but without Tang Ping's permission, these two little guys could only watch dryly.

When the money tide flies around and around, there is a dark and dull jar hanging by his side to follow him, the money tide is the most frequent among the five people, and from time to time it will be discovered by the wild bees because of the back and forth action, there must be wild bees who will fly close to the altar curiously to take a look, this time is when the jar works, whenever a wild bee flies close to the money tide, the mouth of the jar will be deflected to the wild bees flying over, and then a suction force is sent out from the jar, and the wild bees that are flying close to it are immediately sucked in. And the whole process is silent, and it does not alarm the other wild bees at all.

Finally, after nearly two hours of busy here, it was already past noon, Qian Chao approached the other four companions, gesticulating to tell them that their business was done, and after a while, after Yan Xuan took out a good color spirit grass, the five of them quietly left the valley.

"Eh, suffocate me, I can finally speak, Sister Tang, is there any honey in those big beehives in the valley just now?" Lu Pingchuan was still very curious about this.

"Of course not, those poisonous bees eat meat, they don't produce honey." Tang Ping said.

"Sister Yan," Qian Chao patted his jar, "There should be a lot of poisonous bees in here, and I will take bee venom from them when I turn around." ”

"Money boy, what are you doing there?" Tang Ping asked.

"It's all arrangements that anger those poisonous bees, the formation there is activated, at least it is difficult for the Qi Refining Cultivator to fly there, even if he barely flies, it will definitely not be fast, plus the poisonous bees there, alas, I hope I don't need it there now......"

"Hehe, Brother Qian said so, I would like to see the unlucky looks of the boys found by Wen Liang there!" Lu Pingchuan said with a smile.

……

In the afternoon, Qian Chao's five people continued to advance towards Sword Shrine Mountain and came to a place called "Da Cangze".

This Da Cangze is a large swamp beach, close to the Broken Star Lake that Qian Chao and others can't fly over directly, since it is a big river, there are naturally no tall trees, but at a glance, in addition to the soft mud and dense puddles everywhere, there are many shrubs growing here.

In addition, flocks of birds can be seen hovering here in the distance, presumably inhabited by those shrubs.

It was a purple-black bird with a purple-black back and wings, a pink-white belly, a thin neck and a long beak, and a chirping bird, not very large, and one wing was only the size of an ordinary person's palm, but it flew extremely fast, and when a flock of birds gathered together, it flew like a black tide and came and went as fast as a strong wind, and even when it turned, it could change direction in unison, as if the flock of birds were a bird.

Seeing it from afar, Tang Ping slowed down everyone and stopped outside this big cangze.

"Boy Qian, do you remember the bird you mentioned when you used to tell the story?" Tang Ping said.

"Of course I remember, is the bird in front of me a pampa bird?"

"Yes, I always hear the name, and now I finally see this kind of demon bird, well, I still wanted to get one to raise, but unfortunately, this cattail bird is somewhat similar to the demon insect, raising one is not very useful, you must raise a group to have enough power, but unfortunately, there is no such big group of birds that the spirit monk will raise!"

Speaking of this, Tang Ping suddenly smiled and said:

"What do you want to do here?"

"You have to look before you decide."

"Don't look at it, Qian boy, I'll arrange this big Cangze, well, there's no need to arrange it, as long as I bring a gentle person here, I can let all the birds here belong to my disposal!"
