Chapter 56: Distress in the Cave

The wide and deep passage filled the entire space with water vapor, making Chen Yu feel as if even the air he inhaled was moisturizing. The surface of the circular passage is covered with traces of water washing, and shells can be seen embedded in the earth from time to time.

It seems that this channel must have been washed by the lake many years ago, and it is no wonder that water still flows through it until now.

However, thanks to this unique terrain, so many elixirs can grow here. Don't look at the narrow space in front of the cave, but when the sun rises, the sunlight can still be projected into the passage through the hole.

It is precisely because there is both water and sunlight in this passage, and the spiritual energy is also very abundant, that so many elixirs can be grown here.

Chen Yu could clearly see that some of the elixirs had just been conceived and given birth for a few months or a few years, far from reaching the maturity stage of more than ten years.

Therefore, Chen Yu did not pick away those elixirs that were not old enough, but wanted to wait for them to ripen in the future and then come back to pick them.

Along the way, he also deliberately paid attention to the little guy walking in front, and found that it did not kill all the elixirs here, but only took away the mature elixirs.

Although Chen Yu was very dissatisfied with the little guy's direct consumption of the elixir, he didn't have much confidence to stop it, after all, this treasure was discovered by the little guy first, and he could be said to have such a big harvest after touching its light this time, so how could he be embarrassed to drink it.

As Chen Yu and the little guy gradually walked to the depths of the passage, the light also dimmed, and when they got to the back, Chen Yu had to take out a candle from the storage ring and light it to see the way clearly, and at the same time, Chen Yu hurriedly caught up with the little guy's footsteps and followed closely behind it.

Even though the divine sense he released outside did not detect any danger, Chen Yu's intuition still sensed a trace of danger, and this passage suddenly became strange.

At this depth, there are no more elixirs that need sunlight in the dirt on both sides of the passage, but there are some elixirs that prefer dark and damp environments.

Chen Yu naturally did not politely reach out and pluck off a few of the mature elixirs and put them into the storage ring.

At this time, he didn't forget to complain about the original owner of the storage ring in his hand, thinking that he had prepared so many elixir boxes purely superfluous, and the storage ring itself was the best container for preserving elixir.

Chen Yu followed the little guy and continued to walk forward for a while, with the faint light of the candlelight, the figures of a man and a monkey were stretched out in the passage, and with the swaying of the candlelight, the shadows behind them also shook, this situation was particularly strange in this dark passage.

Soon, a fork in the road appeared in front of him, and the little guy stopped in the middle of the intersection, and the little nose sniffed the passage on the left and the passage on the right, as if he wanted to decide which passage to take by smell.

Of course, Chen Yu was not idle, he pulled out the Meteorite Sword behind him and carved a mark on the rock wall of the passage he entered, so that he could retrieve this passage when he exited, after all, the vine rope was still left at the entrance of this passage.

The passages here extend in all directions, and Chen Yu's spiritual power is not of much use, so it can be said that it is all up to the little guy's sensitive nose to lead the way.

The next moment, the little one's face showed a hint of joy, and then it was the first to enter the passage on the right.

Chen Yu didn't know if it had made any discoveries, so he was so excited, but Chen Yu didn't make up his mind which way to go, so in the end, he followed the little guy into the passage on the right.

As soon as he walked in, the little one ran all the way, as if something was attracting him in front of him. Seeing this, Chen Yu could only speed up his pace and run forward with it, he was also eager to know what was in front of him.

Running and running, Chen Yu suddenly found that a little light began to shine in front of him, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, is there an entrance in front?

Soon, Chen Yu's conjecture was confirmed, and they finally ran to an entrance. However, the passage of this entrance is wider than the previous one, and you can see that there are also some shells embedded in the rock wall here, and it is thought that this entrance is also formed by the perennial erosion of the water.

There was also a large amount of elixir growing here, and the little guy got into the elixir pile, and its round body was almost buried by the elixir.

It turned out that the little guy was attracted by this large piece of elixir, and Chen Yu couldn't help but sigh that the nose of a foodie was sensitive. Immediately, he was not far behind, and the whole person threw himself into the elixir pile, and when he saw the mature elixir, he did not hesitate to remove it, and threw it into the storage ring casually, just like throwing cabbage.

Not to mention the little one, his little belly swelled up when he ate it, and it looked like a round ball. It didn't bother to walk on its feet now, it just rolled around on the ground, and from time to time it plucked an elixir in its hand and stuffed it into its mouth.

It is also a particular monkey, and often after biting off the essence of the elixir, other excess parts such as rhizomes are thrown directly on the ground. In response to that sentence, take the essence and remove the dross!

Although Chen Yu felt a little heartache when he saw it, he also understood that it was not without benefit for the little guy to do this, not to mention that the rhizomes it threw away could re-breed an elixir, and it could also be used as nourishment for the elixir that was insufficient in other years to absorb, thereby speeding up its growth.

This is the symbiotic law of the biological world, just like bees collect pollen and pollinate flowers.

Faced with such a large piece of elixir, Chen Yu and the little guy both put their minds into it, as if they were competing to see who picked more elixir desperately.

In the end, the little guy couldn't eat anymore, so he could only lie down in the elixir room and rest, its belly was almost bigger than its body.

At this time, Chen Yu also put the last few ripe elixirs into the storage ring, and then he sat on the ground, his body was already soaked with sweat.

He never thought that one day he would be so tired from picking elixirs, but Chen Yu's body was indeed very tired on the surface, but he was very happy in his heart.

After Chen Yu picked the elixir twice, the storage ring on his hand was almost full, and he also collected all the elixirs used to refine the Zhuyan Pill.

He was originally worried that he didn't know where to go to gather the elixir on the Yan Dan Dan Fang, but he didn't expect to be taken by the little guy to this treasure land full of elixir, the little guy was really Chen Yu's lucky star.

Chen Yu took a short rest, and then stood up. There is only one passage left that has not yet been explored, and where does that passage eventually lead? What was waiting for him at the end of the passage, Chen Yu's heart couldn't wait to know this.

Then, Chen Yu walked up to the little guy, picked it up and put it on his shoulder, Chen Yu realized that the little guy was so much heavier all of a sudden.

In order not to let himself fall, the little guy also grabbed Chen Yu's collar and lay firmly on his shoulder at this time.

Chen Yu saw that the little guy was ready, he didn't stay any longer, and walked back towards the way he came, at this time the candles were mostly burned, and he had to hurry up to see where the third passage led.

In order to hurry, Chen Yu unconsciously performed the method of chasing the wind, and his body ran quickly through the passage, and the candles in his hands were blown out by the strong wind.

Now he can only release his spiritual power again, so as to find out the way forward.

Chen Yu had the help of chasing the wind, and in the blink of an eye, he had already returned to the fork in the road, and then he rushed into the last passage without hesitation.

However, at this time, Chen Yu began to slow down, he had always been very concerned about the trace of crisis that he had intuitively perceived, so Chen Yu had to be cautious when facing the last passage.

At the same time, Chen Yu also collected the spiritual power that was released, and instead re-lit the extinguished candle in his hand, and walked cautiously through the faint candlelight.

There was a fishy smell in this passage, which was completely different from the other two passages, and there was an eerie smell everywhere.

And this passage is still very wet, the most important thing is that Chen Yu can still feel a chill from it, this chill is not found in the other two passages, so Chen Yu's feeling is even stronger.

This feeling was as if there was a giant snake looking down on Chen Yu in the dark, and the poisonous fangs of the giant snake were hanging on his head at the moment, and it could swallow him at any time, which instantly made Chen Yu's cold hairs stand up.

At this moment, a subtle warning suddenly flashed in Chen Yu's heart, as if danger was coming. Without a trace of hesitation, he directly pulled out the gold thread knife on his back and slashed forward with all his might.

"Sonorous!"

As a strong wind hit him, the candle in Chen Yu's hand was blown out in an instant. Immediately after, something in the darkness that I didn't know what it was jerked over, and it happened to collide with Chen Yu's golden wire knife.

"Huh!"

Chen Yu gritted his teeth and supported the blade of the knife with his hand, which was worthy of competing with the things that attacked in the dark, the other party's strength was so great that even Chen Yu almost didn't block it. This gave him reason to believe that the other party's strength was very likely to have reached the late stage of the Forging Skin Realm, and it was a small realm higher than his own.
