Chapter 433: Exploration
said that it was to find out, but in this labyrinthine cave, the two had already gone around a lot of circles before, and the roads they had walked had been marked, but it was inevitable that they would go back. In this way, they have walked through many places twice, but at this moment, they are looking for food to wrap their stomachs, and they will inevitably search more slowly.
Wang Yuxin's adaptability is good, but this kind of wilderness survival ability is not what he is good at, he used to rush by, and he didn't pay attention to observing the surrounding environment at all, which is indeed his weakness. At this time, Long Qiuying is different, she is a very professional killer, not only has patience, but also has a very professional set of survival skills, and finding food is naturally one of them.
The cave was dim, and the two of them relied on their extraordinary eyesight to search, which was indeed very laborious, but fortunately, Long Qiuying's skills were very practical, and after the two walked through the third cave, Long Qiuying pulled down a stone and pulled out a black thing from the gap. Long Qiuying rubbed off the mud with his hands, revealing the yellowish entity inside.
Wang Yuxin came up to take a look, and couldn't help but say happily: "Tiger Jiang, you really have the ability." ”
Long Qiuying nodded and said: "I didn't expect it to be found in such a cold place, but it's strange, in the place where I was born, people call it to save the poor, and only the poor will dig it up and eat." ”
"Where were you born?" Wang Yuxin and Long Qiuying have promised each other for life, but they don't know where Long Qiuying's hometown is, his casualness can be seen, and it even makes people feel a little indifferent.
Long Qiuying glanced at him and said angrily: "If I don't say it, don't you want to ask about my background?"
Wang Yuxin knew that he was at a loss, and scratched his head and smirked noncommittally.
Long Qiuying sighed and said: "I was born in the Miaojiang area, and the locals rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and this kind of thing is not a few, it is very common. ”
mentioned Miao Jiang, which made the people of the Central Plains frown, but Wang Yuxin sighed with emotion: "Miao Jiang is really a treasure trove, the drug Huangjing is actually everywhere, I really want to see it if I have the opportunity." ”
"When we can, we won't care about all those idle things, I'll take you to Miaojiang, to enjoy the beautiful scenery there, just the two of us, never separated." Long Qiuying said with a happy face.
Seeing Long Qiuying happy, Wang Yuxin was also happy in his heart, and hurriedly nodded yes, imagining the open world, his heart was naturally comfortable. However, reality is always ruthless, seeing the current situation, the two can't help frowning, no matter how beautiful the dream is, they always have to leave here.
Although there is no endless road, Wang Yuxin still went around most of this cave, but he did not find a second way out, and it is obvious that the possibility of having another cave entrance is very low. The most important thing is that Wang Yuxin has long entered the way of nature to perceive the flow of clouds around him, but unfortunately, compared to before, this place can only be described as dead silence.
This discovery made Wang Yuxin's heart sink, there was no air flow, which meant that this was a closed dead place, even if they could find enough food, they were afraid that they would not be able to last long.
There was a little silence in the cave for a while, Long Qiuying felt this depression, and immediately opened the topic and said, "You say this thing is called Tiger Jiang? I don't think it looks like a tiger, but it looks like a chicken's head." ”
Wang Yuxin smiled slightly when he heard this: "Tiger ginger is indeed called chicken head ginger, because it is shaped like a chicken head, so it is named." Its medicinal value is extremely high, it has a certain effect on hemostasis and detoxification, and it is said that it can also prolong life when eaten regularly. You call him helping the poor, I think it should be called Houfu, and those who can eat often are indispensable for blessings. ”
Tiger ginger is also known as yellow essence, this kind of medicinal material, Wang Shi and Shi Wei are very studied, the effect of medicine and detoxification is very good, no wonder Wang Yuxin introduced it like a few treasures. While speaking, Wang Yuxin found a handful of snow, scrubbed the soil on the yellow essence, handed it to Long Qiuying and said, "Taste it." ”
Long Qiuying took it with a smile, broke it in two, handed it to Wang Yuxin, and said, "I often eat this thing, but I don't know if Boss Wang, who is used to eating big fish and meat, has ever tasted it?"
"Fish can be eaten with silver, this thing is not easy to find, Shi Wei has a lot of stock, but the guy who picks the door doesn't dare to eat it as a meal, today I can be regarded as a mouthful!" Wang Yuxin said with a smile, and bit off half of the yellow essence in his hand.
Although Wang Yuxin's skills are profound, after most of the day's fighting, his stomach is indeed extremely hungry. Half a piece of yellow essence was eaten in the mouth, and suddenly a sweetness filled the mouth and tongue, chewing carefully, the mouth was fragrant, and the juice slid through the throat and was even more sweet. Wang Yuxin hadn't eaten for half a day, and at this time he ate half a piece of yellow essence, and he suddenly felt refreshed.
Long Qiuying was the same, the two of them quickly killed a piece of yellow essence, and couldn't help smacking their lips, it was really an endless aftertaste. Although Qi practitioners can control their hunger, they are not able to rely on food, and they often consume too much and have a greater need for food, and this piece of yellow essence is a drop in the bucket for them.
Smacking his mouth, although he ate half of the yellow essence, Long Qiuying felt even more hungry, looking at Wang Yuxin with the same expression, the two looked at each other and smiled, and continued to look for it very tacitly.
"Polygonatum grows in moist and backlit places, let's find out where it's wetter. Wang Yuxin said about the characteristics of yellow essence, while confidently searching, since he found it, presumably there will not be only one piece here.
Long Qiuying, who was in front, suddenly stopped, looked back at Wang Yuxin, and said thoughtfully: "It seems that something is wrong." ”
"What?" Wang Yuxin admired Long Qiuying's intelligence and experience, and couldn't help asking.
"The iceberg is extremely cold, if there is water, it will be frozen into ice a long time ago, there should be no wet place here, and there should be no yellow essence growth. Long Qiuying thought about it and said what she thought.
Wang Yuxin smiled and said: "You have been in a coma before, but you never knew that the place where we fell was the Death River Valley, the valley is low, the temperature is relatively high, there is river flow, and the soil is naturally wet." ”
Long Qiuying thought silently for a while, and continued: "It's still not right, it's true that there is a river valley above our heads, but this cave is huge and hollow, if the soil of the river valley above can be extended here, it must have been filled with mud infiltration long ago. ”
"What do you mean?" Wang Yuxin realized, but couldn't say why.
"You should have also noticed that the air here has a musty smell, which means that the air does not circulate smoothly, not even the air, and the wet soil cannot penetrate it, indicating that this cave should be mostly semi-closed. A closed cave, but with a damp place, there must be a source of water here. If there is water, if it is not a strange thing, it is the way out. ”
Wang Yuxin was a little dumbfounded by Long Qiuying's inference, and deduced these from just a piece of yellow essence and the musty smell of the air, which really made Wang Yuxin dumbfounded. Although he knew that what Long Qiuying said was speculation, Wang Yuxin found that what she said was actually very reasonable, and he was speechless.
After opening and closing his mouth a few times, Wang Yuxin felt a little dry mouth, and the yellow essence he had just eaten failed to quench his thirst. After a while, Wang Yuxin said, "You mean...... Can we find a way out?"
Long Qiuying nodded and shook his head again: "Maybe there is, not necessarily, I also heard you say that the characteristics of yellow essence only came to me, but as long as we follow the place where there is yellow essence, we should be able to find something." ”
They were originally looking for food, just by the way, what Long Qiuying said did not conflict with the original intention, but invisibly made both of them see hope, so their pace also sped up a little.
With the cooperation of the two, the second and third pieces were immediately found, one of them has skills and the other has knowledge, and this combination is very tacit. During this period, they also found some other plants, but they were all weeds, and there was no possibility of eating, but this discovery confirmed Long Qiuying's inference. The fact that weeds can grow under the snowy mountains is already very revealing in itself.
Finally, after finding the twelfth yellow essence, the two came to a cave that they had never set foot in. In the labyrinth cave, there was no difference between each place, but this place is very distinctive, and the whole space forms a very regular large circle. Not far from the left hand of the two people is also a cave entrance, opposite them is a huge stone like a square collapse extending from the mountain wall, and in the middle of the cave there is a stalagmite, above is a small square platform, and then up from the top down stretched out a stalactite with seven bends and eight turns, opposite to the square platform, the shape of the two, just like a stone pillar, giving people the feeling of supporting the whole cave.
Seeing this strange scene, the king and the dragon couldn't help but gasp, the two of them were also well-informed, but the scenery in front of them still made them breathtaking, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts The magic of nature and the magic of creation.
Staring at the two stone pillars for a while, Long Qiuying was the first to be alert, as a killer, she secretly scolded herself for her vigilance, and when she was not sure that the surroundings were safe, she actually started to be stunned. Wang Yuxin then reacted, not because he was alert, he didn't have this consciousness yet, he just wanted to take a closer look at these two magical stone pillars.
"Be careful. Long Qiuying lost no time in reminding.
Wang Yuxin nodded, but he still walked over leisurely, but his body was also adjusting to keep in a state of response at any time. After a few steps in front of the stone pillar, there was nothing unusual around, but the qiē in front of them made the two lose their minds again. What they saw was that under the stalactite, in the middle of the natural square platform on the stalagmite, there was a groove in a bowl, in which it contained a shallow pool of milky white liquid, which surprised the two of them, and it was this liquid that was emitting a faint shimmer on it.
The liquid that can emit light is really unprecedented for the two of them, and at this time, in the mysterious cave, there are not only strange scenes but also such strange things. The two glanced at each other, and the tacit communication already knew what they thought of each other, Long Qiuying's guess was good, there was really something unusual in this place, and the yellow essence could grow here, which was obviously inseparable from this milky white liquid, because the closer they got to it, the more they felt that the humidity of the air here far exceeded that of other caves.
What surprised Wang Yuxin even more was that even if he hadn't entered the way of nature, just by relying on the extraordinary perception of the grandmaster realm, he could feel this milky white liquid, and there was a thick energy wandering in it, gathering but not dispersing. The milky white liquid is obviously some unknown treasure.
Long Qiuying seemed to be a little fascinated to look at the lingering aura on the liquid, and muttered, "What is this, so beautiful, could it be the essence of this cave?
Hearing Long Qiuying's muttering, Wang Yuxin's heart moved, looking at the dense liquid, he suddenly felt a burst of blood boiling, stepping into the realm of the grandmaster, his mind should be as steady as a rock, his hands trembled uncontrollably, pointed to the shallow layer of milky white liquid, and said in a trembling voice: "This...... This...... Difficult...... Could it be...... Mountain Spirit!"
In just one sentence, Wang Yuxin gasped for a few breaths before he could finish speaking, and then added: "There are so many ......"
