XXVIII. The Valley
It is a secluded valley, surrounded by peaks, which enclose a valley nearly 100 miles long, leaving only an exit about two miles wide to the south.
At this time, there was a young Taoist standing at the exit of this valley, with an ordinary face, the only pair of bright eyes and two thick eyebrows. Standing at the mouth of the valley, he seemed to be looking at something.
This young Taoist is the Taoist who came from afar under the guidance of the Wu clan Shiba.
Seeker met one of the inhabitants, Shi Ba, in a small settlement of the Wu Houtu tribe, and when Seeker asked the Wu people for information about the tea tree, Shi Ba provided this place, which was thousands of miles away from the Wu tribe's residence. According to the clues provided by Shi Ba, it took him nearly a month to find this valley with similar characteristics to Shi Ba's description. Along the way, he also fought fiercely with several demon beasts to verify what he had obtained in the Wu Clan's residence. A few unscrupulous shots made him feel more deeply, the use of his own strength, the changes in the Taijiquan battle, and the control in the 'Shangqing Sword Technique' battle have made great progress, and even the dark red wooden stick has been played a lot smoother. With this harvest alone, the seeker felt that this trip was worthwhile, and he truly realized the meaning of 'reading 10,000 books is better than walking 10,000 miles', not to mention that there are other gains. Thinking about the more than 10,000 miles from the Wu Clan's residence to here, I couldn't stop being happy: with space treasures, it is different. Thinking about the helplessness of having to give up some natural treasures before I got the barbarian beast Ezhu, I was really emotional. I am also sincerely grateful for the generosity of Shi Yong of the Wu clan.
Xundaozi looked around at the mouth of the valley, and saw that the valley mouth that was two miles wide was quite open, surrounded by lush forests and cliffs, but the extremely high peak in the distance was white, and it was obvious that it was a snow peak.
It was the first time I saw the snow peaks when I came to the Honghuang, and the peaks I had seen before, although there were higher peaks than the peaks here, there was no snow, and I didn't think that I had seen snowy peaks here.
Xundaozi didn't make too many observations, and he couldn't wait to go into the valley to look for tea trees. However, before entering the valley, the seeker still used his divine sense to probe around the valley mouth, so as not to miss what he was looking for. Until he was sure that there was nothing worth collecting, he walked into the valley and searched carefully.
Seeking the way to go all the way, check all the way, the first thing is to see if there are tea trees growing, and the second thing is to pay attention to see if there are any natural treasures. In particular, the rock walls on both sides of the valley are carefully searched, for fear of missing it.
In this way, the seeker gradually walked to the center of the valley. The center of the valley was relatively open, and the two sides were twenty miles apart. The seeker stood in the middle, letting go of his divine sense and scrutinizing it.
The old trees in the valley are stout, the vines are vigorous, and the mountain fruits are flashing. Strangely enough, there was no trace of wild animal activity, and there was no other sound in the whole valley except for the sound of the mountain wind blowing through the trees, which seemed rather strange.
Xundaozi didn't care if this valley was weird, and he didn't pay attention at all, he was doing his best to search for traces of tea trees. It's so careful, so serious, almost an inch by inch search. This valley was the only place where he knew some clues, for fear that he would miss it due to his own negligence, and he really didn't know where to look.
Seeker walked slowly towards the bottom of the valley.
According to Shi Ba, he was chasing a demon beast into the valley, and he saw a tree similar to the description of the seeker on a rock wall in the valley, so the rock walls on both sides of the valley are the focus of the search. I don't know how high the rock wall it saw at that time, how high the tree grew, some of the rock walls in this valley are hundreds of zhang high, and it is really difficult to find one by one, but he was chasing the demon beast into the valley at the time, and he was not as deliberately looking as I did, to see the tree, and there is still an image after a long time, when it is a special place, he can still remember it if he sees it inadvertently. What the hell is that place? Anyway, it's in this valley, and you can always find it if you look slowly. While pondering, the seeker searched slowly and carefully in the valley, gradually approaching the bottom of the valley.
When the seeker arrived at the bottom of the valley and there were more than 20 miles, the sky was completely dark, a whole day passed, the seeker searched most of the valley, and now at night, it was no longer suitable to continue the search, the seeker decided to rest for one night first, and then continue the search tomorrow. So I found a random place, laid down a few prohibitions, and began to meditate.
In the early morning of the second day, when the first rays of sunlight on the horizon shone on the earth, Xundaozi opened his eyes, stood up, and casually broke the prohibition under the cloth, and wanted to continue searching for the tea tree, but when he was about to take a step, he withdrew his imminent foot, and stood quietly, contemplating something, as if he had discovered something.
At this time, the seeker did find a little strange, in the morning, it was the time when many creatures were active, but the valley was still quiet, and through the exploration of the divine sense, no signs of living activities were found, which was really a little strange.
Xundaozi stood silently for a while, not caring whether it was weird or not, but warned himself to be careful, and continued to search for the bottom of the valley.
Although the seeker searched carefully and slowly, he was still close to the bottom of the valley quickly, but he still did not see the tree that looked like a tea tree as Shi Ba said. Seeing that it was not far to the bottom of the valley, and there were not many places left to search, Xundaozi was a little discouraged: I was afraid that this time it would be a trip for nothing, and what Shi Ba saw was not a tea tree, but he felt a little similar. But no matter what, the rest of the area still has to be searched, and maybe the tea tree grows on the last of these rock walls!
Holding on to this last glimmer of hope, the seeker continued his search.
Half an hour later, Xundaozi stood still hundreds of zhang away from a rock wall, not that he found the trace of the tea tree, but at this time there was a hideous demon beast standing more than ten zhang in front of him, staring at him with big blood-red eyes.
The demon beast in front of Xundaozi is about one zhang high, the head and tail are about five zhang long, the head is hideous, the body is covered with fine scales, the four legs are thick and powerful, and the whole body is dark. But he could feel a trace of danger emanating from the demon beast, which was something that Xundaozi had encountered before. This also made the seeker a lot more cautious, and at the same time, he understood why he felt that this valley was a little weird, with such a dangerous monster beast here, could there be other beasts that dared to operate here?
Xundaozi stood without any reaction, and the demon beast standing in front of him was also staring at Xundaozi cautiously at this time, it intuitively felt that the creature in front of it was very dangerous, much more dangerous than the big guy chasing him a few years ago, and the one in front of him was much smaller than that, but it made itself feel more dangerous, and I don't know why. Therefore, this demon beast did not attack easily.
The beast was confronted like this.
After about two quarters of an hour, the demon beast couldn't stand it anymore, and suddenly let out a roar at Xun Daozi. Xundaozi suddenly felt dizzy, his eyes blackened, and his whole body stiffened. At this moment, the slowly rotating 'cleansing heart' dust in the sea of Xundaozi flashed a blue light, and Xundaozi immediately woke up, and what he saw in the moment his eyes lit up was a huge claw shadow with a fishy wind that had been slapped in front of him.
Xundaozi was shocked for a while, but the wooden stick in his hand had subconsciously greeted him.
"Bang!"
The unprepared seeker only felt that his arm was numb, the claw shadow in front of him dispersed, a huge claw rested on the dark red wooden stick, and a hideous head flashed with surprise at this time, looking at the seeker with incredible eyes.
This demon beast was really shocked at this time, it didn't expect that the seeker would be able to block his own blow, although it intuitively felt the danger of the seeker, but it didn't expect that the seeker would not be affected by his roar.
It turns out that this demon beast has a natural supernatural power, which can launch an attack on the enemy's divine soul through a roar, and it is with this supernatural power that it is invincible in the past battles, but it was defeated in a fierce battle with the Wu clan Shiba a few years ago, and that time it also didn't know why its invincible supernatural power didn't work, and Shiba's strong ** made itself suffer, and finally got rid of it with the help of geographical advantages. This time, although he felt that the seeker was more dangerous than the stone tyrant, he still thought that his supernatural powers were just as sharp. didn't expect that in the end, the supernatural power would lose its effect again, and this surprise was not trivial. So much so that the claws blocked by the wooden stick of the seeker failed to launch another attack in time, so that the seeker got a chance to breathe, otherwise, I was afraid that the seeker would be somewhat damaged.
Xundaozi was completely awake at this time, and the wooden stick in his right hand held the claws of the demon beast, seeing that the demon beast was in a trance, no matter what the reason, his left hand clenched his fist and raised his hand and smashed it with a fist.
The monster beast was in a trance, a fist had smashed into its front leg furiously, thanks to the advantage of height, the punch of the seeker failed to hit its head, only smashed on its front leg. But the sharp pain that came in an instant made it can't help but let out a scream: "Woo ・・・・・・". Thanks to the fact that the body is still quite strong, the seeker failed to exert all his strength, the front leg of the demon beast was not broken, but it was temporarily ineffective, and he jumped to the side in severe pain, carrying the painful front leg, and looked at the seeker with some fear.
Xundaozi was also a little stunned when he received the inexplicable blow just now, and when he saw the demon beast jumping to the side, he was afraid that the demon beast would send out that inexplicable attack again, so he quickly held the wooden stick with both hands, and hit the demon beast with his head. For a while, there was a lot of shadows.
When the demon beast saw the shadow of a mountain stick smashing it, it was frightened, and it didn't dare to resist, so it endured the sharp pain in its front legs and tried its best to jump to the side.
Xundaozi saw the demon beast jumping to the side, and with a turn of force in his hand, he turned the direction of the wooden stick that was split forward, and continued to sweep towards the demon beast, which is also the harvest of Xundaozi for more than a month, and he can basically master his own strength, and he can almost send and receive it freely, if it was before, this stick can only be split into the open space after the demon beast let it, and it can't change like this at all.
The shadow of the demon beast who didn't want to find the way followed again, and it was a little slower, and was swept by the wind brought up by the wooden stick, and immediately let out a scream again: "Woo ・・・・・・".
At that moment, the demon beast didn't dare to linger any longer, and fled to the side with severe pain.
