Chapter 341: Snow Python Haunted
When he heard the old man's advice, he couldn't help but thank: "So there are such plants? Thank you for the old man's advice! In this case, I will go to find the snow mushroom and come back to treat my companion, you just happen to rest here, and by the way, please take care of my companion!"
The old man smiled: "Aren't you afraid that I will abduct him?"
Ji Wenming's face turned red, he didn't have much experience in walking the rivers and lakes, but he had also heard the story of abducting people and selling them as slaves, but he didn't expect that there was also this business in the Yuanxia world, he couldn't help but sneer: "How is it possible, this holy mountain is inaccessible, and my companion is seriously ill, even if you kidnap him, who can you sell it to?"
The old man smiled and said, "Since you don't worry, then listen to it, the snow mushrooms are only in inaccessible places, you can go to the path without stairs to climb to find them, I will wait here for your return!"
Ji Wenming lit a special small stove, the temperature in the tent increased greatly, he took the snow to boil hot water, and left it for the old man to use, looking at his set of ingenious gadgets, the old man couldn't help but light up, and said secretly in his heart: "I haven't gone down the mountain for a long time, I didn't expect the casting level of the furnace fort to improve again, these gadgets are obviously prepared for climbing the holy mountain, and the design is very ingenious!"
The old man took out the food supplies and heated them by the fire, while observing a few utensils of Xi Wenming, the fire rose, the temperature rose, Baribaly also regained a little vitality, and sobered up a lot, Xi Wenming settled the two, and then braved the wind and snow to get out of the tent and look for snow mushrooms.
The holy mountain is tall and steep, it looks like a giant pillar supporting the sky, but after going deep into it, I found that this pillar is also too big, and Ji Wenming and others live here like ants climbing on the towering giant tree, and it is difficult to see the head and tail.
Avoiding the ladder to climb upwards, Ji Wenming only looked for a remote and sheltered corner, his feet were fast, and his arm strength was extremely large, so he could climb away regardless of the steepness of the mountain wall, coupled with his amazing eyesight, he found a few clusters of snow mushrooms in a no-man's gap.
This mushroom grows in piles, showing a light blue luster all over the body, and it is also conspicuous on the snow-white and transparent holy mountain, Ji Wenming stepped forward to pick one, pinched it in his hand and felt it carefully, and found that although this thing is in the shape of a mushroom, it is actually a wood attribute itself, with this thing as a seed, he can condense the wood spirit strange things, repair his broken shoes, and then have the spell of the wind to defend himself, and the speed can be a little faster.
Ji Wenming picked a few snow mushrooms and put them in his mouth, only to feel cold, and then turned into snow water, this snow mushroom tastes as light as water, not delicious, but it is cool in the stomach, people can't help but shiver.
Ji Wenming picked a few bushes of snow mushrooms and wrapped them in his bag, and then hurried back, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly found a black shadow floating up on the mountain wall, he turned his head sharply, and shouted: "What is there!"
As far as the eye could see, I saw a black shadow less than five feet tall swishing into the other end of the mountain wall, the climbing speed was like wind and lightning, I didn't even see his appearance clearly, but looking at his action posture, it should also be a humanoid creature, Xi Wenming was worried about Baribaly's condition, so he didn't chase after him, and thought to himself: "Could it be that there is a climbing path over there?"
Xi Wen ordered to rush back to the camp, under the guidance of the old dwarf demon to feed the snow mushrooms to Baribali, this thing really has a miraculous effect, although the entrance is like snowflakes, but soon Baribaly sweated, high fever and retreated, the whole person was a little more energetic.
Ji Wenming thanked the old dwarf demon again, and the old man shook his hand and said: "You must be the first time to climb the mountain, and you haven't even asked for a guide, this mountain is as high as 10,000 feet, no one has ever climbed to the top at the peak, the severe cold is only the slightest test, and there are countless dangers lurking, if you go up like this, I'm afraid there will be accidents!"
Seeing that the old man was very experienced, he politely asked the old man for his identity, and the old man smiled: "I, I, am an ordinary mountain patrolman, Ping Suli will go up and down the mountain, and transport some necessary materials to those ascetics, this holy mountain is too high, and there is basically no trace of more than 8,000 zhang, so it is recommended that you go and go back, don't stay long!"
Ji Wenming said: "Old man, I just went to collect snow mushrooms and found a figure, is there anyone else on this snow mountain? Or is there a climbing path on the other side of the snow mountain?"
The old dwarf demon looked at Ji Wenming in surprise, shook his head and said: "The holy mountain has a road since ancient times, and other paths are not traversed by ordinary people, it is too dangerous, but in addition to the dwarf demons on this mountain, there are many strange beasts and mountain ghosts, which are not good, if you encounter them, you should be vigilant!"
Ji Wenming didn't expect that there would be creatures living here in such a cold environment, nodded his head, and asked Baribaly: "How do you feel?"
Baribaly was recovering from a serious illness, and while leaning against the fire to eat, he refused Ji Wenming's kindness and said, "I can still hold on!"
After a night of silence, the three of them parted ways again after resting for a few hours, the old dwarf demon went straight down the mountain, Xi Wenming and Baribaly climbed up again, after taking the snow mushroom, Baribaly's resistance to the cold has improved, his physical strength has also increased a lot, and his speed has improved.
In the interval of rest, Xi Wenming condensed a clump of snow mushrooms into a wood spirit strange thing, made a pair of foot rings and put them on his feet, so that he finally recovered the power of the Five Elements Random Spell, he wrapped his waist around the beast tendons to hold Baribaly, walked on the cliff wall, and occasionally cursed the wind and walked fluttering, without hindrance, but Baribaly was frightened by his dangerous way of climbing.
In a few days, the two of them climbed to the peak of more than 7,000 zhang, and from here, there was only a void, and the ground could not be seen at all, and the furnace fort and the lava sea were already so small that they were difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, but when they looked up, the holy mountain was still majestic and magnificent, and there was no end in sight. Along the way, I also saw some pilgrims, but their foot strength was not as good as Ji Wenming's, and they were soon overtaken by him and pulled far behind.
The higher the holy mountain, the rarer the human tracks, in the end, even the handrail hoop that climbs up is gone, and can only rely on the strength of the hands and feet to climb up.
On this day, Ji Wenming suddenly heard a sharp wail in the distance during the climb, it seemed that someone was injured, the scream was terrible, Ji Wenming was very curious, he went around the cliff, and suddenly found a slightly soothing snow cave, a snow-white python with a length of three or five zhang twisted and twisted a figure, the person struggled desperately, and the two ice pick-shaped blades in his hand pierced into the body of the snow python, but unfortunately it did not hit the vital point, but the stimulating power of the giant python strangulation was more ferocious.
