Chapter 8: The Underworld

The wind howls and the dead leaves leave the branches, the day returns to the goose and the words return, the people who are in a hurry do not count the days, the gurgling water is tireless, stepping on the dead leaves, drinking the flowing water, and the day after day rushed to a quiet place, Wu Hong is the first time to set foot here, "Well, it should be here." "The boss stood on a rock, and below it was a deep pool, the water of which was black and black, probably because there was no light, and the stone was covered with the stems and leaves of plants.

"Boss, where is this? ”

"Oh, you can see that? Yes, yes, what's weird there?"

"I didn't see it, I just thought it was a bit gloomy here, and the plants were much more lush than outside. ”

"Yes, it would be nice to see so many, this is a place of constant shade, can you see the moon when you look up?"

"What's the Everyday? And there doesn't seem to be a moon tonight, so I don't think there's anything special about it except the woods. ”

"When I didn't come, it was a moonlit road, and there was no light here all year round, but the plants could grow so luxuriantly here. ”

"What's wrong with being wooded?"

"Ordinary plants, if there is no sunlight, they will not grow, the plants here are obviously contrary to common sense, the plants that grow here should be shaded, and there is such a large group of mountains around here, there is only such a place like this, so it is definitely not ordinary. ”

"Boss, you said so much, so what's so unusual?"

"But in such unusual places, either some plants and trees that are rarely seen grow, or some artifacts are pregnant, or they are artificial. ”

"So what kind of boss does this belong to?"

"This is going to start with our training tonight, there are some low-grade spirit mushrooms growing in the yin here, which will attract some spirit foxes to eat, this kind of animal, not very powerful, definitely not as fierce as the wolves, and their meat is delicious, so tonight's training for you is to catch ten such 'not very powerful' spirit foxes." ”

"Did you catch them just to eat them?"

"Well, that's it, for more delicious food, you can only catch them alive, and the less they hurt, the higher your rating, you barely completed the last trial, this time I hope you can finish it well, for more delicious ingredients, by the way, I'll light a fire over there and wait for you." ”

"Yes, got it. After listening to the boss's explanation, Wu Hong's interest was greatly reduced, and he actually ran to such a far mountain for the sake of his tongue.

Although he said this, the boss still had some doubts in his heart, although there are conditions for this place to become a yin land, but is this naturally generated or artificial? Although it is not obvious at present, some clues will definitely be seen in a later stage.

"Wu Hong, you go and collect some firewood, I'm going to build a bonfire by this pool, and I'll have a good barbecue." ”

"The boss is still making a fire today, won't he invite another pack of wolves, right?"

"No, the terrain here is very low today, and the most you can do is attract a few black bears. ”

"Boss, who is more powerful, bear or wolf?"

"Of course it's a bear, you can't be scared, right?"

"Well, I'm a little scared, there is almost a shadow in that matter before. ”

"Okay, you go quickly, if there is a bear coming, leave it to me, I'm going to roast a bear's paw." ”

Although I don't believe much in the boss's words, I still have to go collect firewood, and I just hope that tonight will not cause some trouble.

"By the way, Wu Hong, the firewood here can't make a fire, you have to go outside to pick up some firewood. ”

"Oh, I see, I'm going to go outside. "I really didn't say it earlier, Wu Hong threw away a pile of dry firewood in his arms, and stepped on the dead leaves to the outside of the mountain.

Standing on the edge and looking outside, it was dark on one side and glowing silver in the moonlight, what a strange place.

Because Wu Hong didn't care much about this trial, collecting firewood was relatively slow, more like appreciating the forest in the night, a person was picking up firewood in the mountains, the sound of insects was faint, and the leaves were rustling, but Wu Hong felt that the mountain was quiet, quiet for a long time, Wu Hong was a little scared, he could see a little by the moonlight but couldn't see very far, he went back with a pile of firewood, walked between the branches, and didn't even pay attention to his feet, Wu Hong saw a place where the branches were relatively rare, so he walked from there, and suddenly the texture under his feet changed, becoming soft, as if he had stepped on something, what could he be stepping on in the deep mountains?

Wu Hong's first feeling was to step on the snake, his body retreated, but mixed with the roots of the tree, lost his balance and fell to the ground, the firewood in his arms was scattered, Wu Hong stood up half of his upper body, and saw by the moonlight where he landed just now, a snake was coiled there, spitting out the letter, Wu Hong didn't dare to be sloppy, quickly got up, broke a branch beside him, and poked at the snake, the snake saw Wu Hong's movements, and it was also a dodge to attack Wu Hong, and the coiled snake body suddenly bounced up and rushed towards Wu Hong, Wu Hong's branch twitched, and the snake was pumped, and the snake was twitched, Wu Hong stretched out his hand, and caught the snake with seven inches of vitality, and caught the snake without effort。

He grabbed the snake in his hand, picked up the firewood and held it in his arms, and walked to the boss.

"The owner brought you some goodies. ”

"What's good?"

"A snake. Wu Hong said as he lit a fire.

"What snake, show me?" the boss looked at the snake in his hand by the light of the fire, "Yes, yes, this snake is quite venomous, with four rings, suitable for boiling soup." After saying that, I didn't know where to take out a soup can, and set it on the fire.

"Go and take away the gall of this serpent, and then skin it, and wash it cleanly, and I will make soup." After speaking, he threw the snake to Wu Hong.

"Attention, the snake is still alive. Without saying anything, he came to the water's edge, skinned and washed the snake, and threw it to the boss.

"Boss, this water is really ice. ”

"This is a yin land, the water is naturally icy, okay, let's go pick some spirit mushrooms, and it tastes better to make soup together." ”

Handing over the spirit mushroom to the boss, Wu Hong couldn't help asking, "When is the boss Linghu coming?" Come early and catch it early and rest well." ”

"Didn't you hear they were coming?"

"It's already here, where is it? Why didn't I see it?"

"It's so dark here, how can you see it even for a month?"

"What then?"

"Why are you so stupid to sense them? Hurry up, I'm still waiting. ”

Wu Hong closed his eyes, sat cross-legged on the ground, and concentrated on inducting, there were many vitality in his world, but he still couldn't sense the spirit fox.

"No, boss, all you sense is vitality, and not a single spirit fox has sensed it. ”

"Aren't you going to be concentrating on sensing? ”

"Oh, I'll try. "The appearance of the spirit fox, the appearance of the spirit fox, it should be similar to a cat, the spirit consciousness is constantly concentrated and released, one meter, two meters, ten meters, twelve meters, and finally found the first spirit fox when the spirit sense was put outside the twelve meters.

Wu Hong got up, and when he rushed to the place where he sensed the spirit fox, he didn't find anything, could it be that he sensed it wrong?

Sitting cross-legged again, he put his spiritual sense out of the sense, and it didn't take long to sense it, but when he rushed there again, there was still nothing, this time he didn't meditate again, but went back to the boss.

"Yo, you're back so soon, where's the spirit fox?"

"Boss, why every time I sense the spirit fox, it disappears when I go again?"

"Hehe, it's not easy, it must have run away before you went. ”

"What can I do to keep it from escaping my mind?"

"First of all, you have to sense a spirit fox first, and then divide your spirit sense a little bit and leave it on the spirit fox, so that as long as you sense it, you can know where the spirit fox is. ”

Wu Hong tried it and put the spiritual sense on the spirit fox, but when he sensed it again, the spirit sense disappeared from the spirit fox.

"How could the boss be like this? ”

"Spiritual consciousness is the same as vitality, it needs to be maintained when it leaves itself, and if it is not maintained for a period of time, it will disappear. ”

After listening to the boss's words, Wu Hong continued to maintain the connection between the spiritual senses, and after several experiments, it was found that it was really effective, it seems that he has mastered it, and there should be no problem in catching the spirit fox again.

Came to the place where he sensed again, this time the spirit fox did not run away again, Wu Hong quickly grabbed the spirit fox, he had already decided that he could definitely catch it this time, he never thought that when he was about to come into contact, the spirit fox actually dodged, the speed was very fast He couldn't keep up, and the spirit sense he put on the spirit fox also disappeared, it seems that the speed of the spirit fox is too fast, and his spirit sense will be disconnected if he can't keep up.

Wu Hong tried again, but it was still difficult to catch the spirit fox, after a long time Wu Hong began to be unbearable, he had to stare at the spirit fox, but also to keep up with its speed, these are very draining, Wu Hong felt that the vitality was consumed very quickly, had to sit down to recover the vitality, when meditating, his mind was constantly thinking, how to keep up with the speed of the spirit fox? Do you have to ask the boss? But if you ask him about everything, what will he do in the future? It seems that he still thinks about it, there will always be a way.

Wu Hong is thinking of a way, the first time when he was dealing with the wolves, he condensed the vitality in his hand, and the mobile phone became very hard, what if this time he condensed the vitality on his feet?

I thought of it, I did it, ended the meditation, sensed a spirit fox again, condensed the vitality on the feet, maintained it, and then kicked it out in one step, although the speed was much faster, but the movement was too big, and it also kicked out a pit on the ground, and it was difficult to maintain the dissipation of the vitality when it was kicked out, it seems that this is much more difficult than condensing it in the hand.

Continuous experiments, the results are always a little bit, but this result can not catch the spirit fox, although the speed keeps up, flexible but can not keep up, Wu Hong continues to experiment, constantly kick out of the ground one by one, the condensation time of the vitality on the feet is getting longer and longer, from the beginning of the scattered, to the later can persist about ten times, but this is not a success.

Constant experiments, although never succeeded, but Wu Hong still caught the spirit fox, when Wu Hong took the spirit fox to the boss, the boss fell asleep. Wu Hong had to wash and bake the spirit fox, and he also went to the pool to wash it, and all the dust on the spirit fox was made all over the night in order to catch the spirit fox, and he also sweated a lot, and the mixture of sweat and dust made Wu Hong exude a sour smell.

The clothes were also washed, this clothes were still given to Wu Hong by the boss, the clothes he wore before had been scrapped in the wolves, this is where the boss didn't know where to take it out of his body, and today's soup cans are too, it seems that he has time to ask the boss.
