Qian Yue only learned about the dead man after he got up the next morning, although what Yuan Bo said was an understatement, but looking at everyone's solemn faces, he still knew the seriousness of the matter. So I hurriedly washed up, ate a little breakfast, and set off. The main task now is to consume the Epiloche by himself, and there is still one day before it matures, and there is no time to consume it with an unknown enemy. Try to get to the location of the Epizuki grass as soon as possible, and then set up a camp, as long as you eat it at midnight, you can be reborn immediately, and then it's not too late to deal with the enemy.

The group silently and vigilantly packed up their things and set off quickly, even from a long distance, Zhang Qing could feel the changes in the other party, compared to yesterday's slightly casual, today they were obviously much more vigilant.

After they left, Zhang Qing went to their camp to search for a while, and easily found Zhang Sanwa who was placed in a simple coffin that had just been made. After all, it was his own help, and the Yellow Helm Lord definitely couldn't just abandon the corpse wilderness. However, it was impossible to take the body on the road with him, so he made a coffin on the spot to preserve the body, and prepared to take it out for burial when he returned.

Zhang Qing pried the coffin open, briefly examined the corpse of this person, and easily judged that he was poisoned to death. However, although the pharmacology was good, he could not tell what kind of poison it was just by visual inspection. What's more, the situation of the two worlds is different, maybe the poison here can't even find the raw materials there.

He wasn't trying to tell what poison the other party had, he just wanted to make sure that something had happened in the camp last night. Now it seems that in addition to himself, there are other people who also have bad intentions towards this team. He began to secretly calculate whether this matter would be good or bad for him, although it was a good thing for someone to work together to be weaker, but the enemy of the enemy may not be a friend.

In the end, Zhang Qing decided to take the risk and continue to track, after all, they were all here, since this person who was hidden in the shadows made the first move, no matter whether he found out or not, he would definitely not give up. When the time comes, it is much safer and has a much greater success rate to help him when he makes a move.

。。。。。。

After a morning's trekking, the group finally arrived in the Meridian Valley, and the unexpected calm of the road made everyone in the team faintly relieved, after all, being attacked while traveling in the mountains is the most difficult to defend.

The Meridian Valley is a teardrop-shaped valley with a small mouth and belly, surrounded by a ring of cliffs, which can only be accessed by an entrance. And the place where the epiphyllum grows is right in the middle of the valley.

Qian Yue looked at the steep cliffs on both sides and the dense vegetation around them, originally this valley mouth was blocked by plant growth, and only later was the Tinghe Gang opened a path that could be walked. He wiped his sweat and asked the Yellow Helm Lord beside him: "Didn't you say that no one has come to this place for decades, why is there still a name for Meridian Valley?"

"Ha, it was originally a barren valley without a name," Lord Huang Helm saw that he was about to arrive at the ground, and his mood relaxed, so he replied with a smile, "But it was noon when I helped the late Elder Li Yue enter here, and then in order to confirm that the plant was the Epiphyllum Grass, I specially waited for the time before leaving here." After that, he reported to the helper, and Elder Li thought that he had been in the valley from noon to Zishi, so he casually named it Meridian Valley. ”

Soon-to-mature Epichron Grass will give off a strange brilliance in the moonlight, so this is also a way to tell if it is Epiphyllum Grass or not.

"It's that simple?" Qian Yue was dumbfounded, he thought that this name had some connotation, but he didn't expect it to be just a casual remark.

"Yes, it's as simple as that. "When Lord Huang Helm heard this story, he also thought it was funny.

Seeing that he was about to reach his destination, the Yellow Helm Lord ordered the two subordinates to speed up and go first. In order to protect this Epilogue Grass, Fang Xiaotian sent people to build a camp nearby, and there should be four people here at this time. Although Fang Xiaotian didn't value this grass very much, he still sent a helmsman level subordinate who was at the peak of the day after tomorrow.

Originally, it was okay to go directly, but this time there were outsiders in the team, and Lord Huang Helm was afraid that the people who were guarding here would be too lazy and indecent, which would make the people of the Qian family see the jokes, so he sent someone over to inform him first.

As a result, seeing that they were about to get there, the two people who were sent to the front ran back with a panicked face.

"Helmsman, no, it's not bad!" "Helmsman, something happened!"

Huang Duo and Qian Yuan's hearts sank at the same time, and they immediately thought of the attack they received last night. Lord Huang took a step forward, grabbed his subordinates and asked, "What's going on!"

"The helmsman, dead, all dead!" The subordinates in front of him were already out of breath, and they were caught by the yellow helmsman in the chest, and they couldn't speak, but fortunately, the guy behind was clever and directly told what he saw, "We arrived outside the camp, and found that the four brothers guarding this place were lying neatly outside the house. We both went to take a look, and we were both out of gas!"

Qian Yuan and Qian Yue glanced at each other, stepped forward and asked, "What about the Epiphyllum Grass?"

"I don't know, we came back when we saw the body, and we didn't go to the waterhole behind us. ”

Qian Yuan discussed it with Lord Huang Helm, and finally decided to take a look. After all, the Qian family's target this time is Tanyue Grass, and it is impossible to return without seeing each other. And the Yellow Helmsman can't retreat, his brother died inexplicably, if he doesn't even dare to look at the corpse, how can he go back?

So the group quickened up and ran forward, and soon came to the camp built by the Tinghe Gang.

It was said that it was a camp, but in fact it was just two simple rooms, after all, it was just discovered a few months ago, and this place did not need to be visited again after tonight, so it did not take a lot of effort to tidy up.

Qian and Huang saw the four people lying at the door of the house at a glance, but they didn't rush over. Huang Duo first arranged for his subordinates to be divided into groups of three, and they were not allowed to be left alone, so they went to the surrounding area to investigate. Qian Yuan, on the other hand, observed the surrounding environment, and then instructed the servants to protect the second son.

When I came to the dead man, I saw a circle of dead snakes, insects, rats and ants around the four corpses, but there were only some shallow bite marks on their bodies, a few holes, and some dried blood flowed to the ground. This shows that they were all poisoned to death, and the poison was extremely violent, and these small animals who wanted to eat their corpses died violently after just touching their mouths.

"Is that him?" asked the Yellow Helm Master.

"It should be, they all died under the poison, and they should have done it alone. Qian Yuan nodded heavily. This poison is also very powerful, but I can't be sure what kind of poison it is, I can only see that it should not be the same as the one who killed Zhang Sanwa last night.

This made the old butler's mood even heavier, a strange poison may have been discovered by luck, but the ability to easily use two different but very powerful poisons shows that this enemy also has a background. Although Steward Qian is not afraid, he has a heavy responsibility and does not want to provoke such a difficult enemy.

From the corpses on the corpses, he could probably tell that these people had been dead for two or three days, which meant that the other party had killed them before attacking his team. In this way, that enemy is not necessarily coming for his own home, but most likely for the Epizuki Grass.

"What do you think about it?" Lord Huang Helm was actually a little scared, he was just a pawn who died before, although he used poison, but after all, his martial arts were low, so he didn't care too much. But the one lying in front of him is also the peak of the day after tomorrow that is on par with himself. Now that he has been tricked, this means that he may not be so safe.

"Let's go see the epiphyllum grass first. Qian Yuan's heart was like lightning, and he directly asked Lord Huang Helm to take him to the growing place of the Epimoon Grass.

So a few people went around the house and walked forward for more than ten zhang until they came to the edge of a small pool with a diameter of no more than four or five zhang. Behind the pond is a cliff standing upright, and there is a small waterfall cascading down into the pool.

In the middle of the small pool, there is a piece of protruding ground a few feet square, and there is only a plant about two feet high, similar to a dog's tail grass, on the bare side, but the spike on the head is a whole, showing cyan, and there are patterns on the top, like a chrysalis. This is the fruit of the epiphyllum grass, which turns purple when ripe.

Qian Yuan nodded, he was well-informed, he was sure that what was in front of him was the Epilogue Grass that was about to mature, and since such a thing was still there, then he had to let the second son take it on time.

So the old butler said to the yellow helm master, "Since the things are still there, you can't leave." There are more than 20 of us, and the old man is still congenital, no matter what the enemy is, he has the power to fight. Be careful tonight, as long as the second son takes the epiphyllum grass, we will return early tomorrow morning. After going back, the old man will tell the old man about the situation of this trip, as long as you cheer up and protect the second son, the old man will definitely be rewarded at that time. ”

He knew that a strange death had made these people fearful, but in order to protect the second son and complete the mission, he could only motivate them with a heavy reward, hoping to pass the night smoothly. After all, in his opinion, the other party can only use poison to sneak attack the lone night watchman and the camp with a small number of people, but he does not dare to attack his own group of more than 20 people, which shows that the opponent's strength is not enough, as long as he is cautious and does not mess up, he should let the other party have nowhere to start.

And now he judges that the other party's target may also be the epilogue grass, so as long as he keeps an eye on this grass, he won't worry about the other party not showing his head, and he will have to settle accounts with him when the time comes.

Lord Huang had no choice but to go back to collect the corpses and arrange for everyone to tidy up and defend the camp.
