Shaking his head and driving this ridiculous thought out of his mind, Yu Ci's mind settled into the Zhaoshen diagram, carefully examining the vast world within fifty miles below the cliff.
Generally speaking, the brightness of the Sky Rift Valley from top to bottom is decreasing, and there are layers of clouds and fog obscuring it, and no matter how strong the sunlight is, it cannot shine into the depths of the valley that is seven or eight thousand zhang deep. Therefore, from about twenty miles deep, there is already a relatively strong chiaroscuro contrast on the map of the gods, and when it reaches forty miles down, it is a dark area where there is no light in the sky, and so far, the canyon has not yet seen the bottom.
Yu Ci swept it over, and then focused on the details. With the change of his mind, in his eyes, the small world expanded rapidly, and soon, a point in the picture of the gods that he had set at random was clearly presented in front of him.
He was facing a huge bronze bell, golden like a knife.
Yu Ci almost smashed it with a punch, but fortunately he controlled it in time, only to realize that the angle of his gaze was wrong. After a slight adjustment, he saw clearly that it was actually a giant bird with a wingspan of several feet, and what he saw just now was the eyes of the giant bird...... The dark red feathers on the giant bird's skull were draped in a mess, but it could not stop the typical eagle's sharp eyes and huge beak like an iron hook. The more the thin feathers spread out to the body, the brighter the color became, and finally it was as if it was dyed with a layer of blood, and with a slight shake of the feathers, a layer of blood light spread in the clouds.
What's this thing called? Blood Sculpture?
Yu Ci's gaze turned around the fierce bird a few times, and used it as a reference to extend in all directions. The rift valley in the clouds became clearer and clearer.
He soon found that the idea of naming the giant bird was meaningless, and at this moment the wonders of the valley had opened only the most insignificant corner to him.
The blood eagle swooped down in the wind and mist, and within the reach of its claws was a huge lizard, but this lizard not only had horns on its head, but also had two huge fleshy membrane wings under its ribs. Seeing the blood eagle attacking, it croaked, its mannical wings blew the wind, and glided out diagonally, and then the two monsters fought in the clouds and mist, and the blood feathers and scales flew all over the sky......
Shifting his perspective, Yu Ci saw a huge frog-like monster, spitting venom from its mouth, up and down the cliffs, walking on the ground, and saw a giant ape three people tall, pulling trees and flying stones, like a demon god; but he also saw that such a monster was knocked down by a green snake as thin as bamboo chopsticks and only two feet long, and was killed by poisonous hair; in the depths of the clouds and mist, there were huge creatures as thick as children's arms but dozens of zhang long, as if they were the legendary beetle snakes, looming and floating in the middle.
If there is too much surprise, the taste will fade, and in its place, there will be an uncontrollable excitement: it turns out, it turns out that there is such a world in the universe, so mysterious and majestic, it seems that God specially set it up to break the common sense of human beings!
Of course, Yu Ci also saw the danger, but this endless crisis was more like a big material sprinkled in boiling oil, rolling through the oil, and the fragrance overflowed, hooking his soul and crashing into the bottomless abyss......
Then, he really jumped.
The clouds and mist rushed to his face, filled with an aura that he had never felt before, crashed into his heart, and burned his heart:
"I didn't know the root of it before, so I didn't go deeper, but now that I have the map of the gods, how can I miss it again!"
With the guidance of the gods, Yu Ci quickly slipped to a place below the top of the valley, and the light was slightly dimmed. This was already the deepest position he had gone down to when he was collecting medicine some time ago, but compared to the canyon itself, such a distance was meaningless!
And the more it falls, the more novel and bizarre the world shown on the map becomes, challenging Yu Ci's imagination all the time. The ever-changing and wonderful ecology made him dizzy, and it gave birth to a great attraction, dragging him to continue to go down.
Before you know it, it has reached ten miles deep. During the ten-mile journey, there were many hardships and dangers, and after arriving here, Yu Ci finally found a platform to reluctantly settle down and take a breath for a while......
As he deepened, the temperature in the Heavenly Rift Valley dropped very quickly, and the cold air was biting, and there was a bit of winter breath.
However, for Yu Ci, the most difficult thing is not the temperature, but the chaotic sense of space. In his position, no matter up or down, left or right, except for the vast fog, there was nothing to see, only the cliffs behind him to rely on. After staying for a long time, he feels that the world is upside down, or the earth is turned at an angle, and if he goes down in a trance, he may really regard the cliff as the ground, from "lying" to "standing", stepping towards the bottomless abyss, and falling to pieces.
Fortunately, he has a picture of the gods, and he can always pay attention to the changes in the picture on the map of the gods, and adjust his feelings with the help of this small world centered on himself.
In addition, the endless emergence of fierce beasts and monsters is also a great threat. For example, the blood sculpture that had just flown in front of his eyes......
This big guy looked familiar, as if it was the one he had just observed according to the divine map. It seemed to have won a great victory in the previous battle, and it had a full meal, and it flew over the cliff wall on its toes, and the wind with its bloody wings almost blew Yu Ci down.
Yu Ci was not angry, but instead observed the flight trajectory of the big guy with great interest. Be prepared to take advantage of your time off to learn about the habits of these creatures.
The blood eagle hovered in the clouds and mist of the canyon, but its flight altitude kept decreasing, from ten miles to twenty miles, and then to a depth of thirty miles, before it climbed again. Yu Ci knew that this section of twenty miles high was the main area where the blood eagle lived.
Originally, he wanted to know more about it, but something pulled his attention away from the blood sculpture.
It was a slope in a dark area about twenty miles deep and three thousand feet deep in the canyon......
The slope above the slope is extremely steep, and the bottom is slightly gentle, stretching out about dozens of zhang along the cliff, Yu Ci thought that the Heavenly Rift Valley would gradually narrow at this point, and then probed some more, only to know that this is a lonely protruding land, and below is a bottomless abyss.
There is no conspicuous vegetation on the slopes, which is normal, and it is hidden under dense fog all year round, and it is difficult for plants to survive except for some bryophytes. However, Yu Ci was very sure of the function of the divine map, and he believed in his own eyes, he clearly saw that when the blood eagle spread its wings and flew over just now, the wind force carried by it blew up countless blades of grass as thin as hair.
Shrimp Whisker Grass!
It must be shrimp grass. Although he didn't understand why the shrimp beard grass could grow in places where there were no trees, Yu Ci believed in his own eyes and the effect of the divine map.
It wasn't a big deal for him now, but it was an extremely clear goal, and Yu Ci was in good spirits at the moment, taking the slope as the end of today's expedition and continuing to climb......
This is not an easy task. Not every cliff in the Sky Rift Valley is suitable for climbing, and in some places it is as smooth as a mirror, and the mountain monkeys who are the best at climbing it go up, and only those who fall to their death.
Thanks to the Divine Map, the surrounding terrain was fully captured, allowing Yu Ci to bypass the dangerous terrain in time, and even so, it took him a full three hours to find a path to the slope of Guò. By the time he stepped on the soft soil of the slope, it was already completely dark.
The Heavenly Rift Valley is too vast, and the seven or eight acres of land that runs down obliquely, placed on the entire cliff plane, are only an inconspicuous convex mark, and they are completely out of scale. And Yu Ci is here, it is a small insect on the bump, which is not worth mentioning.
But this does not affect Yu Ci's huge harvest, it turns out that there is no problem with the divine map, and there is no problem with his vision, this is indeed the exclusive medicine garden given by God to the shrimp beard grass......
There are no large trees on the slopes, but there is a remnant of the root system of a large tree. In the Zhaoshen diagram, it can be clearly seen that most of the tortuous root system is buried under the earth and rocks, stretching in all directions, occupying the entire slope and even spreading to the surrounding cliffs. Yu Ci couldn't imagine how such a huge tree could grow in such a place, and what kind of behemoth a big tree with such a root system would be if it still remained!
For some reason, the tree has broken and probably fallen into a deep ravine, and most of the remaining roots have died, but a small part has survived and become a unique parasite that helps the thousands of shrimp and grass in the surrounding area to get nutrients.
This is the reason why shrimp and grass are stored in zài.
Yu Ci solved a small doubt, and what awaited him was a bigger surprise. Because he had missed the surrounding cliffs, the number of shrimp beards far exceeded his initial estimate...... By visual inspection alone, there are at least two to three thousand plants near the slopes, which is quite an astonishing number. These shrimp grasses, plus the inventory he already had, were enough to exchange for four Sanyang Fu Swords.
The transaction in the Cliff City is destined to be a one-shot deal, and Yu Ci does not have the mind to go through the long run, except for some locations that are too dangerous, he is ready to sweep away the shrimp and grass around the slope.
Of course, that's tomorrow too.
After nightfall, the Heavenly Rift Valley can really be regarded as a finger that cannot be seen, and the dense fog almost obscures a qiē light, even if it is a specially practiced night eye, it is difficult to see beyond the zhangxu. Yu Ci didn't want to come to Baoshan, but he fell to his death, so he found a leeward place on the slope, sat down, and survived the long night.
It was the first time that Yu Ci had spent the night in the Heavenly Rift. After seeing the blood eagle and other birds of prey, it is absolutely impossible to ask him to sleep or cultivate...... Out of boredom, he simply opened the Zhaoshen map and looked at what the Sky Rift Valley looked like in the night.
At this moment, the diagram of the gods presents an almost perfect hemisphere shape, the hemisphere is erected, and the cliff behind it can only be a hundred zhang deep, compared to the fifty-mile range of the boundless void, it can only be said to be a shallow layer, which is completely negligible.
The color of the hemisphere has also changed, and it is also affected by the skylight, and the whole is gray-black, with a slight light of light blue, which is not too conspicuous in the night, saving Yu Ci the trouble of covering the light.
Fifty miles...... No, how could it be fifty miles? Yu Ci suddenly discovered the problem.
He was now located at a depth of about twenty miles in the Heavenly Rift, and from here to the limit of the sky that could be shown by the Divine Map, it was only thirty miles at full duty. It is very clear from the map that the height of the sky has not changed, but in this way, it is impossible for this full hemisphere to appear.
Since it appeared, it only means one thing, for some reason, the scope of heaven and earth shown according to the divine map has been narrowed. Now, the diameter of the area he can grasp is not fifty miles, but thirty miles. It seems that there is an invisible beast that opens its mouth to swallow the outer space.
Is it the natural attenuation of the divine force, or is it related to the night? Yu Ci prefers the latter, but whether this is the unique environmental guidance of the Heavenly Rift, or whether it is universal, still needs time to verify.
Of course, for now, it doesn't matter if thirty miles is enough, it is enough for Yu Ci to use.
He found that the Rift Valley at night was much more lively than during the day, and the number of creatures swimming in the fog was at least fifty percent more than during the day, and there were some behemoths that roamed in the deeper clouds and mist, showing a little bit of scales and half a claw, which could take his breath away as a bystander.
In fact, Yu Ci had already consciously slowed down his breathing, and the Heavenly Rift Valley at this time was more dangerous, bloodier, and more elusive. The beasts here don't seem to have a strong sense of territory like on the ground, and are always swimming in all directions, which causes frequent conflicts.
Within thirty miles of Yu Ci's perceptibility, in just two hours, there were three extremely ferocious fights, each of which ended in the tragic death of one or even both sides, and the bloody aura permeated the canyon, blending into the clouds and mist, becoming part of its unique aura.
While holding his breath, the fire in Yu Ci's heart burned even more. This is the world that the monk should be exposed to, the endless beasts, the rising power, the bloodshed of the collision of life, and more importantly, the different stimuli from time to time, these things, every moment refreshes his existing understanding, this moment is absolutely different from the previous moment.
Yu Ci felt like a toad jumping out of a dry well, dizzy because of the boundless expanse of the world outside, and he was stunned by happiness.
Brother Fishbone is a toad that jumped out of the mouth of the well, and we are still looking up at the narrow sky. Click, collect, red ticket, brothers and sisters pull me!
