After walking all the way for more than two weeks, the three of them finally entered the southern frontier.

Phantom Sound Valley is located in the hinterland of southern Xinjiang, Peacock Town is close to its east, the entire southern Xinjiang covers an area of 270,000 li, the terrain is staggered, the speed of horses can not be fast, even if it takes three days to stay in the hotel, it will take more than a week.

That night, they came to the first inn in southern Xinjiang, called "Lupu Inn". ”

The name of the inn is the same as the name of the town, which is also called "Lupu Town". ”

Outside the town, there is a huge lake.

At the junction of the lake and the town, there is a wetland.

The crowned heron is a rare bird endemic to the area, with three bundles of heterochromatic feathers on its head, which will be lit up when provoked or when it is courtship season.

This has naturally become a local specialty, and many ornaments and clothes made of heron feathers are widely welcomed by foreign tourists.

The next morning.

"Boss, how much does that crested heron feather cost? Ye Ling pointed and said.

"Five hundred gold coins a piece, guest officer. ”

"Good. ”

As he spoke, Ye Ling took out 500 gold coins and sprinkled them on the boss's table.

The boss's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly took the gold coin into his arms.

"I also want a bracelet, Xiaotang doesn't like things that are too exaggerated, so I can get a bracelet. ”

"This little brother has a vision! This bracelet not only has feather ornaments, but also the ice jade of our southern Xinjiang, with this jade ring, it is not hot in summer!" the boss enthusiastically introduced.

"Okay, I want it, how much?"

The boss grinned, "Well, little brother, don't look at it small, the price is a little more expensive than that feather coat, 700 gold coins!"

Jia Yong took out a silver ticket of 1,000 gold coins from his arms.

The boss's eyes brightened, "Oh, little brother, this silver ticket...... You see, I just opened today, and I can't afford to find any money left......"

Jia Yong raised his hand, "Forget it, so be it." ”

The boss couldn't stop bowing and thanking him, and his heart was already smiling.

Turning around, Zhang Bu obediently stood ten steps away from the shop, holding his arms and looking at the two coldly.

"Bought everything?"

Ye Ling nodded, "Well, I've bought them all." ”

"This boss is really blessed, he met you two big-headed ghosts just after opening. Zhang Bucheng shook his head and said, "If it were me, I would have to scold the boss and not give him a penny." ”

"Hey, don't say that, a heart. "Ye Ling is still on the rise.

Zhang Buyi pointed to the wetland outside the town and said, "Have you two forgotten our identity? The crowned heron is not a fierce beast, it is easy for us to catch it, if we want feathers, we can't catch it ourselves." ”

"Hey, it doesn't matter, it's a waste of time to catch it yourself. Ye Ling grinned, "We had a good rest last night, so let's set off." ”

"I can't really communicate with rich people like you. ”

Zhang shook his hand obediently and turned over on the horse.

"Don't talk about shopping, Principal Zhang, when I was sleeping last night, I suddenly thought, you said that fake Ye Ling has been staying in Peacock Town, isn't he afraid that after a long time, he will be exposed by others?"

Zhang Buyi stroked his beard, "If you want me to say, whether he is Ye Ling or not, in fact, it doesn't matter to the people of Peacock Town." ”

"Oh, how do you say that?" Ye Ling tilted his head.

"According to my student, that fake Ye Ling is not the kind of bad guy who harms one side, he is more like a bounty hunter, collecting money from the villagers and destroying the beasts around him for the villagers. ”

"That person's cultivation is not bad, and the villagers don't need to dig into his identity. ”

Ye Ling pursed his lips, "Since that's the case, be his bounty hunter, if you have a name and a surname, why pretend to be me......"

"There are many benefits to pretending to be you, there are so many bounty hunters, of course they are the most powerful ones, besides, just your Ye Ling's name, those hunters who have not seen much of the market do not dare to grab business with him, it is not only convenient to attract business, but also to drive away other peers, do you think it is very convenient?"

Ye Ling could only express his helplessness about this, or that sentence, only to blame the Hongyuan Empire for being too big, and the information in many places was not interconnected, and the residents of Southern Xinjiang didn't know about the Battle of Aoxue City at all, let alone that he, the real Ye Ling, had been working hard in Aoxue City all along.

Walking through the wetlands, you will see lush forests ahead.

In addition to fish and shrimp, flowers and leaves are also a snack for the crested herons, so they occasionally fly into the woods to improve their diet.

Ye Ling and Zhang Bucheng had a very happy conversation, and Jia Yong stared at a crested heron flying into the forest, but suddenly lost his voice.

Although the forest is very large, and it is impossible for the crowned heron to be rescued immediately when it flies in, the beast blood in the body faintly makes Jia Yong sense that there seems to be an unknown danger in this forest......

The forests in southern Xinjiang are not like the north, but mostly pine trees, cypress trees, etc., with short and small leaves.

The trees in this forest have leaves that can barely fit an adult to lie on them, which is very spectacular.

Even the flowers in the forest are often seen in giant varieties that are about as tall as a person.

These flowers all exude a rich fragrance.

But things must be reversed, and the strong floral fragrance gathers together, but gives birth to a foul smell.

"Be careful, where a hundred flowers are surrounded, cannibal flowers will grow. Zhang Buyi reminded.

Ye Ling didn't speak, but secretly wrote down this reminder in his heart.

He only felt that the upper realm was simply boring to the extreme compared to the mortal world, and he really regretted that he didn't travel around the mortal world before he ascended, and now he followed others out, only to find that he was so unfamiliar with everything in this mortal world.

As Zhang Bucheng said, the three of them rode along the trail, and sure enough, they saw a large red and white flower with a diameter of one person, growing around a thick tree trunk.

Man-eating flowers, strictly speaking, should be carnivorous flowers, as long as it is meat, he will eat it.

However, this is not a vicious xenomorph monster, it does not move, and can only attract insects by the scented flower sap in the flower core.

That kind of flower liquid has a hallucinogenic effect, even humans should stay away, otherwise, you will be dazed and loaded into the flower core!

"Hide from it, there is such a big one growing in the middle of the road...... It seems that this forest path has not been walked for a long time. ”

In order to hurry, they did not take the official road, but a shortcut road that had been abandoned for many years.

In the early years, this shortcut was always lost for no reason, so it was slowly abandoned.

The three of them continued to move forward, and saw a lot of man-eating flowers, some of which were scattered with white bones, and they couldn't tell whether they were human bones or animal bones.
