Volume 3, Qianchuan Ze Chapter 198, Night Exploration of the Yellowstone Cliff
Without further ado, without further ado, Xiong Kuohai patted his chest and agreed, and immediately walked out of the swamp, went around the bend towards Huangshi Cliff, and took Liu Xiaoyi and Lu Haoran to the destination.
The three of them talked and laughed along the way, Xiong Kuohai was warm-hearted and straight-tempered, plus Liu Xiaoyi was kind to him and was willing to pay for him to buy a Yuan Soul shirt, in Xiong Kuohai's mind, the other party's status was higher.
"I said Engong, how good it is for you to stay outside, you have to come to Qianchuanze to wade into troubled waters, today's Qianchuanze is not as bad as in the past, and the human race is too disadvantaged. Xiong Kuohai is straightforward, since he is already standing in a group, he will no longer gossip, and go straight to the point when he opens his mouth.
Qianchuanze used to be the world of the human race, but after a long time, feng shui will always change, and now the ten thousand races are prosperous, but the human race is gradually declining, and the human race has always been the most serious intrigue, so under the back and forth, the human race is even more precarious.
Now that the Hades are interfering indiscriminately, stirring up the situation, and causing all the spearheads to be aimed at the Terran sects, there are a few most critical places, and they are now in full swing.
Xiong Kuohai told what he saw and heard in Hengyang City, and Liu Xiaoyi and the others were surprised when they heard it, they couldn't accept anything, and the human race was suppressed by a group of spirits and couldn't raise their heads.
"The guys in the underworld are no longer worthy of being called human races! Those who come from the underworld, the cold air all over their bodies is terrifying, since Engong is against them, wait for me to return to Hengyang City, pull those thirty brothers, and follow you!"
After hearing this, Liu Xiaoyi waved his hand again and again and said: "Our matter, we don't have to implicate so many people, the strong enemy is in front, in case there are three long and two short, I'm sorry for you." ”
"Engong, where are you talking about? People who can make friends with 30,000 taels of gold, what is my life?
"Don't talk about anything else, where is Yellowstone Cliff, it's too dark here!"
When he walked in front of a stone wall, there was no way to go, and there was nothing to see in the darkness in front of him, Lu Haoran drew his sword and swept around, not daring to step elsewhere.
The night was much longer than the day, and there was no moonlight or stars in the sky, only the faint light emanating from the ground illuminating the nearby road.
The Yellowstone Cliff is even more silent, even the sound of insects and birds is nowhere to be seen, and the rotten sound of people stepping on the dead branches under their feet is sour.
Seeing this, Xiong Kuohai took out the fire fold from his arms and lit it, holding the mace tightly and walking in the front, although he had been to Yellowstone Cliff several times, but every time he was very impressed here.
A kind of yellow-brown stone is abundant here, and the texture is hard and suitable for polishing weapons, or when forging weapons, it is used to increase the hardness of weapons, so it is named Huangshi Cliff.
There is only one road in the middle of the mountain stream to enter and exit this place, and there are cliffs on both sides, and if an unsuspecting person climbs up from the mountain road on both sides, he will accidentally fall into the mountain stream and fall into pieces.
"Be careful, there are a lot of poisonous snakes in Yellowstone Cliff, they like to lie in damp and dark corners, and it is best to light some torches to disperse them. Xiong Kuohai walked in front and told Liu Xiaoyi and Liu Xiaoyi about the Huangshi Cliff.
It turns out that this is not a holy place, there are several steep places outside Hengyang City, swamps and Huangshi Cliffs, each with its own special income, there are many farmers and hunters who come and go, although it is more dangerous, but it will not cut off everyone's financial route.
I don't know what year it began, in the deep flat area of Yellowstone Cliff, someone built a few stone houses and settled down on their own.
Since then, people who come to Huangshi Cliff to mine and dig medicine will be shrouded in dense fog from time to time, and they will not know how to return in it, and it will take more than ten days to go around before being released by the dense fog.
After a long time, everyone knew that it was caused by the witch who lived inside, and I wanted to gather some people to ask the witch for an explanation, but I didn't expect this witch to make a soul shirt and wear it into the underworld, so that she could come out again safe and sound.
As soon as it was passed on, the reputation of the witch spread around Hengyang City, and the price of the Yuan Soul Shirt also rose, until the current 30,000 taels of gold, which is still in short supply.
Lu Haoran looked at the pair of small red eyes lurking in the darkness on both sides of the road, and was very nervous: "Look! There are a lot of poisonous snakes here! Brother Xiong, how poisonous are these poisonous snakes?"
"Seven steps to break the intestines! If you are bitten, if you don't have an antidote in time, you won't need a few breaths, and your life will not be saved!" Xiong Kuohai deliberately laughed, scaring Lu Haoran into a soul, and followed closely behind Xiong Kuohai, saying that he would not go far and take two more steps forward.
Walking out of about five miles, Xiong Kuohai suddenly stood still, Lu Haoran didn't pay attention and bumped straight into his back, "Oh! What's going on in front of you? Is there an enemy?"
Xiong Kuohai shook his head and wondered: "Something is wrong, something is too wrong here! Although the temperature in the place where the witch lives will be lower, the air is a little too cold, can someone make the witch girl angry?"
The mountain stream of Huangshi Cliff is not long, and it is five miles into it, and it is the only flat ground, and at the end of the bright light, you can already vaguely see several stone houses side by side, the lights in it are flickering, and the sound of people talking and talking comes from.
There were a lot of doormen with sharp blades standing on both sides of the door, who were looking around fiercely, Xiong Kuohai was such a big man, and he lit a fire fold, of course they could see clearly, and before they could get closer, someone asked sharply: "Who is here!"
"Hengyang City Xiemapo, my name is Xiong Kuohai!"
"What are you doing here?"
The man wanted to ask a question, but Xiong Kuohai was a little unhappy, strode to the front, and danced the mace, "Little man, where are you from?
Xiong Kuohai stood in front of him, two feet away, looking like a stinky little boy.
As soon as these people swarmed up, they surrounded Xiong Kuohai and the others, "What's so great about Xiemapo?
Xiong Kuohai's eyes rolled, he has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, just relying on his clever head to eat, how can he not know Mangkhut Island, Hengyang City to the east, is a vast ocean, there are hundreds of islands large and small in the sea, Mangkhut Island is one of the relatively large.
This island has close trade with Hengyang City, Xiong Kuohai has also been to it several times by boat, Mangosteen Island is rich in products, it is named because of the abundance of mangosteen, the folk customs there are simple, Xiong Kuohai is deeply impressed by it.
"The people from Mangkhut Island came here, and they didn't buy the Yuan Soul Shirt?"
The doorman nodded and replied, "That's natural, our island master is negotiating with the witch inside, and outsiders are not allowed to enter!"
Xiong Kuohai was also reasonable, and turned around to explain to Liu Xiaoyi: "Mangkhut Island is inside, so it's okay for us to wait first." ”
But the first and second ranks, they couldn't wait for the people inside to come out, but the quarrel became bigger and bigger, and the surrounding atmosphere gradually dropped to the freezing point.
"This little brother, how long will it take to get out inside?" Liu Xiaoyi was a little anxious to wait, so he asked those doormen.
As soon as he finished speaking, the stone roof was shattered by the burst of sky-high mana, and a cold light came out of it, followed by a blue light.
Xiong Kuohai roared, raised his mace high, and followed him, aiming at Qingguang is stick.
A brow-raising stick was exposed inside the green light, blocking the mace, Xiong Kuohai gritted his teeth hard, the mace also scattered the green light, and there was a middle-aged man with a bald head and beard, revealing his body from the blue light.
Qiu Yuan, the owner of Mangkhut Island, is as hateful as the sea!
Xiong Kuohai raised his eyebrows and asked dissatisfiedly: "Qiu Yuan! Why do you want to do it with the witch lady? Is it possible to risk the world's condemnation!"
This Yellowstone Cliff has an unwritten rule, anyone who comes to buy a soul shirt, no matter how big the grievance, can't do anything with the witch.
The Yuan Soul Shirt is woven from a kind of spider raised in the depths of the mountain stream, and the spider silk they spit out, but this kind of spider can only live in a low-temperature environment, such as the humid and hot environment of the Yellowstone Cliff, which is not suitable for the survival of spiders at all.
And the weaving technique is even more wonderful, there are many people who see the money, want to imitate some Yuan Soul shirts, but the craftsmanship is not perfect, pit people's money and harm people's lives, wearing that kind of inferior Yuan Soul shirt into the underworld, it is likely to bury their own body.
Qiu Yuan saw that someone had intervened to stop him, and asked so loudly, where could he stand such a temper, and immediately said angrily: "Where did you come from, a reckless man! Dare to speak to this seat like this!"
"Qiu Yuan, I respect you as a character, a big island owner, how can you do such a thing?"
"The witch obviously has a soul shirt, but she doesn't buy it with me, and it's unreasonable to say all the good things, do you say you should fight or not?"
Qiu Yuan's words were the first to say, he wanted to buy all the Yuan Soul Shirts from the witch, and the money he brought was enough, but no matter what the conditions were, the witch just wouldn't sell them.
Qiu Yuan himself has an urgent matter, and he can't delay, so he is a little impatient, how to see how to feel the nest fire, so he starts to move.
When Xiong Kuohai heard this, he laughed angrily: "People can sell to whoever they want to sell, and you are so strong in buying and selling!
"Good boy, come to me for bad luck?Then clean you up first, and then ask for the Yuan Soul Shirt!" Qiu Yuan's eyebrow stick seems to be ordinary, but it is actually full of things.
His stick technique is actually average, proficient in formation, Qi Mei stick towards Xiong Kuohai point at the same time, there are several circles of different lines of aura from the long stick, as soon as the mace touches, it is knocked high.
Xiong Kuohai secretly said that he was not good, and wanted to jump out of the battle circle, but he felt that he had hit the wall behind him, and turned his head to see that there was a formation that had already blocked the way of retreat, so he had to raise his arms and take a stick solidly.
