Chapter 39: The Bright Moon Lavender

At night, a bonfire illuminates the mountain peaks.

The hunting party gathered around the campfire and ate barbecue.

After eating, Poryu took out a roll of animal skins from his arms and threw them to Gongliang and the others.

"This is the herb we are going to pick. Look at it, lest you go down tomorrow and see you without knowing it."

Gongliang opened it and saw that it was full of drawings of various herbs, as well as some words describing the function. These are things that have not been taught in the hunting grounds. It seems that he was right, and Wu really left a hand in this regard.

In fact, he wronged Wu. The hides are full of rare herbs, and even if they are taught, they don't know where to pick them, and usually only the team that collects them knows. And the task of the wave is to collect medicine this time, so they will take out the animal skin roll and show it to them.

This is also one of the benefits of being a first-time tribal warrior.

Because the herbs in the valley are very rare, some can greatly nourish the body, and some can also wash the hair and cut the marrow, so that people can increase their strength, and there are many benefits to the body. However, as soon as these herbs leave the ground branches, they lose their effectiveness shortly after, so they are used by witches as a reward for novice hunters.

This is also a place where the warriors of the tribe are vying to come.

It's just that this place can only come when the hunting team has newcomers, so many hunting teams in the tribe are very keen to bring newcomers, just to come to the valley again.

....................................................................

"Ah Liang, get up. ”

The sky was hazy, and Gongliang was woken up by Yu Han. When I opened my eyes, I saw that everyone in the team was up and ready to go.

Bo Ryu looked at Gongliang and the other three, and said, "The three of you are new here, and you don't know the situation in the valley, so you must listen to everyone's orders after you go down, and you can't make decisions at will, otherwise you will lose your life if you are not careful, you know?"

"Yes. ”

After saying a few words, Poryu took the lead and grabbed a mountain vine and walked down.

The pillar-shaped stone peaks are towering, and it is a little scary to look down from above. This time, Gongliang cut a mountain vine and wrapped it around his waist to make a safety rope, and he finally felt much more at ease when he went down. There is a kind of leek leaf growing on the cliff of the mountain, and the flowers bloom like lavender of the moon, which can be worn on the body to protect it from insects and ants, and it is also one of the herbs picked by the hunting team, so they pick it as they walk.

Part of the reason they get up so early is to pick the moon lavender, because it only blooms at dawn and withers when it comes into the sun, which is very rare.

When they arrived in the valley, the old man of the hunting team took out a part of the squeezed juice of the Bright Moon lavender he had picked and smeared it on his body, and Gongliang and the others hurriedly did so. A handful of the juice of the moonlit lavender was applied to the body, and suddenly a cool feeling came from the skin, and there was a faint fragrance of incense, which seemed to be the aroma that could repel insects and ants.

Looking at the bottom of the valley, Gongliang found that there were tall plants and trees all around, and people looked so short in front of these plants and trees.

After applying the things, the hunting party continued to walk, but they did not dare to go too fast, and their steps were very light, as if they were afraid of disturbing something, and they looked sneaky.

Well.

Suddenly, Gongliang saw a clump of crystal orchids growing on the ground of withered grass and rotten leaves.

Crystal Orchid was known as "Ghost Grass" and "Dream Orchid" in his previous life. In some martial arts novels, it is often deified as a fairy grass with the effect of resurrecting the dead, or regarded as an incarnation of evil with supernatural powers that can kill people in an invisible way, and even its fragrance can make people smell and change color. In legend, it is also the flower of the underworld, a symbol of evil and mystery, hence the name "Flower of Death".

Generally, crystal orchids only grow in clusters in the dark and damp deciduous layer, and their whole body is crystal clear, cold and abnormal, which is very rare!

In his previous life, Gongliang had only seen it on the Internet, but now that he saw it here, he couldn't help but stop watching it curiously.

He found that the crystal orchid in front of him was not only crystal clear, but also emitted a hazy blue light in the dark forest. He unconsciously reached out and touched it curiously, but was suddenly grabbed by the big stone that followed him.

"What, didn't the captain just say that he wanted you to be obedient? Oishi said in an unprecedentedly stern tone.

Gongliang said stupidly: "I see that it is beautiful, so..."

"Beautiful? huh..."

Dashi snorted coldly, found a branch next to him, and then stretched out in front of Crystal Orchid. When he was about to get close to the crystal orchid, a few subtle blue lights suddenly erupted from the crystal orchid's buds and shot on the branches. Gongliang saw that it was a few drops of water, and then a terrifying scene happened, only to see that those few drops of water quickly corroded the branches, and the branches were corroded into several large holes in an instant.

Gongliang was stunned, is this still the crystal orchid he knows?

Dashi gently used the branch to gently flick the leaves under the crystal orchid, revealing a pair of mottled white bones.

This Gongliang was not surprised, because in his previous life, he had learned that the crystal orchid was originally to draw nutrients from dead creatures like other saprophytes. However, the crystal orchid he saw in front of him was much more poisonous than the crystal orchid he knew in his previous life. At least what he'd seen in his previous life wouldn't spray poison. It's really weird, fortunately I didn't touch it, otherwise my hand would have become a white bone.

Seeing that Gongliang knew that it was powerful, Dashi threw the branch away.

"Remember, it's dangerous here, don't just mess around. ”

Gongliang hurriedly nodded yes, where is this very dangerous, it is super dangerous. Not daring to be careless any more, he hurriedly followed the team closely.

Further on, the scenery suddenly changed, and the tall grass and trees were gone, replaced by a huge mushroom standing in the valley. These mushrooms are more than a dozen stories high, and the short ones are three or four meters high, and the color is mostly white, and some are colorful, which is strange. There is no grass underneath the mushrooms, only some green moss.

At this point, the hunting party became more cautious.

The old hunters lifted their feet lightly and lowered them gently, bent their backs, did not dare to make any sound, and walked quickly forward.

Seeing this, Gongliang and the other three newcomers also hurriedly followed their movements. Although Gongliang had a stomach full of things to ask, he didn't dare to speak out when he saw this situation. The forest formed by the giant mushrooms was very large, and after walking for a while, the crowd walked out. Seeing another huge forest in front of them, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The old hunter stopped outside the giant grove to drink water and rest.

Gongliang only had time to ask Dashi what was going on just now?

"There is a group of terrible white ants in that mushroom forest, which are often attached to the white mushrooms, and you can't see them unless you look closely. This kind of white ant is nothing when it does not alarm them, and when it is alarmed, it suddenly appears overwhelmingly, and no matter what it is, it will be eaten by them in a moment. And the green moss on the ground, which is also something that can eat people, and if something of flesh is accidentally poured on them, the skin will be pierced by the spikes of the moss. The spikes were poisonous, and when they were stabbed, they couldn't move, and they could only watch the blood be sucked away by the green moss until they died. Therefore, we all call the white ant the white devil and the green moss the devil of the earth. If we hadn't smeared the juice of the Bright Moon Lavender and walked gently, we wouldn't have been able to get out so easily. ”

Gongliang's scalp was numb when he heard it, and he didn't feel anything when he just left, but now when he heard it, his heart was cold.
