Chapter Seventy-Six: The Miasma Forest
More than a dozen fierce apes woke up one after another, and only a few were seriously injured and had not recovered for the time being.
"Ohara, what the hell is going on?"
Yang Ji put away the bottle and spoke.
It is certainly not a coincidence that so many fierce apes were poisoned at the same time in Ape Mountain.
"Goo-goo-goo...... Whew!"
"Ohara" muttered in his mouth, and said a lot with strokes.
Yang Ji shook his head, it is one thing for the spirit ape to be psychic, but it is another thing for people to understand the words of the spirit ape.
"Goo-goo...... Whew!"
Xiao Yuan scratched his head, thought about it, pulled Yang Ji and went straight to the cave. All the way non-stop, from the first level directly to the lake on the second level.
Yang Ji had just arrived here, and he immediately couldn't help but jump his eyelids. Unlike last time, on the edge of the lake in the clear and cold cave of the lake, Yang Ji found a lot of strange flowers and fruits that could not be named, all of them were even branches and leaves, and I don't know where I got them.
These branches and leaves are all very fresh and green. Many of the cuttings in the branches are still new, apparently not long ago.
In the cave, ordinary spirit apes with relatively low level and lighter fur are being sorted into categories, moving these flowers, flowers and fruits with branches and leaves to various caves, preparing to brew new magic wine.
"Xiao Yuan" pointed to these fresh exotic flowers and fruits, and kept writing and narrating to Yang Ji.
"Are you trying to say that they're poisoned because of these things?"
Yang Ji thought for a moment and pointed to an unknown fruit tree branch at his feet.
"Goo!"
Ohara nodded happily.
Yang Ji squatted down, picked one of the fresh branches, and carefully rummaged through it. When he saw the large amount of damp mud under these branches and leaves, Yang Ji's pupils shrank.
"These things aren't from Ape Mountain. ”
A flash of light flashed in Yang Ji's mind.
He was also basically familiar with Ape Mountain and the surrounding terrain. The ground of Saruyama is a lot of dead leaves, and it is impossible to get so much mud on it.
Even the soil near the river that flows down from Ape Mountain is not the same as this black mud.
Others Yang Ji didn't dare to say. At least one thing Yang Ji can be sure of,—— the materials for brewing the magic wine dragged by the spirit apes are definitely not near the ape mountain.
Next to the lake in the cave, a cold, bony white fish flicked its tail and made a crackling sound inside.
Yang Ji stood motionless on the shore, thoughtful.
If these fierce apes were only poisoned by accident, it would be fine, but if they were injured by collecting materials for making "French wine", then I am afraid that there will be a steady stream in the future. There will also be a large number of fierce apes injured or even killed.
"Ohara, where did they collect these fruits, can you take me over to see them?"
Yang Ji came back to his senses and turned his head to "Xiao Yuan" who was silently watching him on the side.
"Goo-Goo......
Ohara nodded.
After about half a cup of tea, Xiao Yuan ordered two of his subordinates. One man and three apes set off from the "Ape Mountain" and went all the way to the place where these spirit apes collected materials.
This was the first time Yang Ji had explored the process of collecting materials from these spirit apes, and he was a little curious. All the way to the west, the location is getting more and more remote. The terrain is also becoming more and more complex.
Along the way, there are lofty mountains and mountains, there are towering ancient trees, there are lush forests and bamboos, and the weeds are waist-high. Thorns also grow wantonly, and it is basically difficult for ordinary people to travel through such places except for fierce beasts.
Fortunately, the three spirit apes are all jumping on the treetops, and Yang Ji's "Swallow Piercing the Clouds" is light and floating, no slower than these spirit apes.
About an hour later. It's more than ten miles away from Ape Mountain. But these apes are still leading the way, and there is no sign of the end.
"Where is this going? How can it be so far?"
Yang Ji was secretly surprised. He never thought about it. The spirit apes collected materials and had to run such a long distance.
After more than two hours, the humidity in the air became heavier and heavier. Take a breath and your nose will be covered with a mist of water.
"Where the hell is this going?"
Yang Ji wondered in his heart. He glanced back, Ape Mountain was long gone, and Iron Crown Mountain didn't know where the road was.
Since entering the Iron Crown Mountain. It was the first time he had gone so far. And it is also led by a group of spirit apes.
Now even Yang Ji doesn't know where he's going.
The three apes were getting deeper and deeper in the mountains, although Yang Ji looked confused, but the three spirit apes obviously had a clear goal, and they knew where they were going.
Three hours later, Yang Ji no longer counted where he was. It's just that the Iron Crown Mountain of Zhilu Road should be in the southeast direction of itself.
I don't know how long it took for Xiao Yuan and the two fierce apes to stop in front.
"Is it finally here?"
Yang Ji sighed. What appeared around was a small mountain range, and the towering mountains were no longer visible.
The sky was gray and heavy, the ground was sparse with vegetation, and the soil was soft. In terms of color, it already looks a little like the dirt that Yang Ji saw on the branches of the Ape King's Cave.
"This should be it. Unexpectedly, these spirit apes actually ran such a long distance in order to make French wine. ”
Yang Ji sighed in his heart.
He followed Xiao Yuan all the way, and he traveled through all kinds of complicated terrain, and he knew that it was not easy for them to make French wine.
"Goo-goo-goo...... Whew!"
Xiao Yuan jumped to his feet, and an ape arm stretched out, pointing ahead and shouting at Yang Ji.
Following its fingers, in the distance, Yang Ji saw a ......
"Miasma!"
Yang Ji was taken aback.
In the direction Ohara pointed, a gray mist rolled and swirled, enveloping a large area. Looking over from Yang Ji's position, he only heard the sound of the wind blowing, the mist rolling, and many branches and leaves faintly revealed inside.
"Miasma", Yang Ji has seen in some travelogue miscellaneous books before, in the depths of the mountains, some special geographical terrain will become a special "miasma".
These miasma seeped out from the depths of the earth and could not be clear. If ordinary people venture into it, they will either fall into a coma or die, and even if they pick up a life, they will become seriously ill.
This kind of place is a forbidden place. Ordinary people see that no matter how far they go around, they must not go in.
"This is the fruit you gathered?"
Yang Ji pointed ahead, incredulous.
The three spirit apes nodded at the same time, their eyes full of seriousness.
Yang Ji was secretly shocked in his heart. The miasma-shrouded area is inaccessible to people and animals. That's what he read from that book. And this kind of place is lifeless, and it doesn't look like some kind of "cave blessed land", why "Xiaoyuan" wants to bring him here.
Just when Yang Ji was puzzled, the two tall fierce apes had already leaned down, fiddling with the barren grass all over the ground, looking for something.
"Roar!"
After a while, there was a shout of excitement, and the two fierce apes grabbed something and lifted it. At first glance, Yang Ji Dingqing saw that it was a blue-green grass that looked very weak and ordinary.
One of the fierce apes grabbed the young grass and chewed it. The other fierce ape handed the young grass in his hand to "Xiao Yuan".
Yang Ji was amazed. One has to admire the wisdom of these fierce apes. Although he didn't know what kind of grass it was, he could see from the actions of these fierce apes that it was supposed to prevent miasma poisoning.
"If a poisonous snake is infested, there will be a detoxification within seven steps. The same seems to be true of this miasma!"
Yang Ji sighed. Reaching out and taking the young grass handed over by Xiao Yuan, he put it in his mouth, chewed it carefully, and a sweet taste instantly filled his lips and tongue.
"Ohara, you stay outside with them. I'll go in and see it alone. ”
Yang Ji suddenly spoke. He looked up at the miasma in front of him. He asked "Ohara" to lead the way. And not let it be sent to death.
There may be some danger in the miasma, and he doesn't want to take a few people with him.
Xiao Yuan was still chewing on that blade of grass, and he was stunned when he heard Yang Ji's words. But respect for Yang Ji's authority still prevailed, and Ohara finally nodded.
"If after an hour, I haven't come out. Go back for a while. Come back to me when you go to Ironcrown Mountain in the future. - An hour, you know the way, right?"
Yang Jidao. To be on the safe side. Yang Ji took out the bottle of antidote pill from his arms again, poured out one and put it in his mouth. The most important function of this detoxification pill is detoxification, but if it is put in the mouth, it has a detoxification effect of about half an hour.
Xiao Yuan squeaked, and he understood. It often dives into Ironcrown Mountain. Although I don't know much about these things, I have a general understanding.
Ready for everything, Yang Ji swished, and in the eyes of the three-headed spirit ape, he verticalized the gray mist in the distance.
"I wonder if those strange blades of grass are useful?"
Yang Ji's heart pounded twice, and then plunged into the gray mist.
There was a vast expanse in front of him, and gray fog rolled in. As soon as Yang Ji stepped into it, he immediately smelled a strong, with a little fishy smell in his nose, and his eyes were dark, and a feeling of dizziness suddenly hit.
"Not good!"
Yang Ji was suddenly startled and was about to withdraw. Suddenly, a strange, cool energy rushed through the whole body, instantly clearing the particles of this miasma.
A feeling of relief came over him, and Yang Ji shook his head and regained his senses.
"So many trees!"
Yang Ji opened his eyes and looked at him in surprise. A green leaf sticks out diagonally from the side, and the clusters of green leaves on the branch show vigorous vitality. Between the leaves and leaves, there are many round fruits that resemble lychees, but the color is different, purple and translucent
And trees like this, at a glance, far and near, faintly do not know how many roads there are.
"Smack!"
Yang Ji picked a fruit, peeled it, put it in his mouth and chewed it. A stream of sweet juice contains a faint essence, bursting out of the flesh and filling the mouth.
"Incredible!"
Yang Ji was amazed. He finally knew what the Dao spirit apes could do to brew the magic wine that the martial artists respected. This kind of thing contains more essence than those medicinal materials such as yellow essence and Fu Ling.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would have been hard to believe that in this dead area, such a vibrant forest could be bred.
Yang Ji picked a few fruits, held them in his hands, and walked all the way. (To be continued......)
