"There's a row of hoof prints over here, follow along!"

Yu Qingwu pointed ahead, as far as his eyes could see, there were basically the same hoof prints if he was three or five feet away, and if he followed the hoof prints, he might be able to find the shelter of the water unicorn. A man and a beast immediately followed the seal, passing through dense forests and shrubs, until when they entered the heart of the mountain, there was no longer a lush forest in front of them, but a lonely cliff.

"The hoof prints are gone!" When I got here, the original orderly row of hoof prints was gone, replaced by messy unidentified beast prints. Xiao Honglong pulled his head and said, "I thought I could fight with the water unicorn, but I didn't expect that there would be no unicorn hoof prints, where can I find it!"

The Crescent Island is not very big, and it is only a thousand feet in circumference, just now a man and a beast have walked from the edge of the island to this middle position, and if they lose their hoof prints, it means that the rest of the places may not have hoof prints. After all, the water unicorn has a docile and quiet temperament and does not like to move around at will.

Yu Qingwu was also a little disappointed, he finally got some clues, and suddenly it was gone, where could he still be happy. His gaze fell on the four hoof prints at the back of the body, and he saw that the four seals were darker than the others.

Seeing this, he hurriedly squatted down and touched the soil, and after comparing it with the soil of the rest of the footprints, he found that the soil was about the same as the hardness, but since the hardness of the land was about the same, why would there be a difference between depth and shallowness?

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he immediately looked up at the cliff ahead, searched the cliff overgrown with weeds, and after a while, he found that there was something unusual, and there seemed to be a cave behind the weeds.

"I see!"

The corners of Yu Qingwu's mouth were hooked, and he recognized the four hoof prints at the back of the most lush, and he realized that the reason why the unicorn hoof prints disappeared was because the water qilin took off in this place and entered the grotto hidden behind the weeds on the cliff! It was precisely because the water qilin used his strength here that the hoof prints left behind the most columbian would be deeper than the other hoof prints.

Thinking of this, he patted Xiaohong beside him, and then unfurled the golden light on the ground, turning into a golden line and flying straight towards the hidden grotto. After removing the weeds, he was exposed to a huge and deep grotto, which could be more than two zhang high and more than one zhang wide, dark and cold inside, heavy with water vapor, and covered with moss as far as the eye could see.

"This is the cave of the water unicorn?"

Then Xiaohong poked out his head and looked inside, then retracted his head and said: "That water unicorn has too bad taste, and it actually lives here, it is completely incomparable to my family!

Yu Qingwu didn't have the time to talk nonsense with Xiaohong at all, and said in a low voice: "Hurry up and restrain your breath, if you scare away the water qilin inside, it will be worth the loss!" After speaking, he should first use his luck to restrain his mana fluctuations, and then raised his feet and walked into the grotto carefully.

Tick...... Tick......

The inside of the grotto is as dark as night, and the water vapor is heavy, even with Yu Qingwu's eyesight, he can only see three or five zhang clearly. With no end in sight as far as the eye can see, and the crisp reverberation of water droplets, it is not difficult to guess that this grotto must be extremely deep.

After walking more than ten zhang, the originally straight passage began to detour, but fortunately, there was no fork in the road, and one person and one beast did not need to be entangled in where to go.

"Hey, what kind of fruit is this?"

Suddenly, Little Red stopped, and poked her head to the side, and there was a green plant growing on the side of the stone wall, the stem of which was no more than two or three feet high, and on it was a few fruits about the shape of a peanut.

Seeing this, Yu Qingwu smiled and said: "This is a kind of medicine, called cassia seed, which has the effects of clearing the liver and fire, dispelling rheumatism, benefiting the kidneys and eyes, moistening the intestines and laxative, etc., and it is not a miracle medicine. ”

Cassia is extremely ordinary, it is not so unusual, it generally grows in the open, hot, humid place, and this grotto in addition to wet, the other two conditions are not compatible with its growth environment at all, it can take root here is also a little surprising.

As soon as she heard that it was just an ordinary herb, Xiaohong immediately lost interest in it, and she didn't even have the interest to go forward and smell it, and continued to walk forward. A man and a beast walked in this grotto, and the inner passage became more and more curved, the air became more and more humid, and the water vapor became more and more intense.

And because this passage is gradually extending to the ground, the temperature is getting lower and lower, and the cassia seeds that originally liked high temperatures should not be able to grow here, but the further they go in, the more the number of cassia seeds will be, which makes Yu Qingwu puzzled.

Trample!

Yu Qingwu, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, he picked up a cassia seed at his feet and put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, then frowned and whispered: "Cassia seeds are not only more and more, but their medicinal power is also getting stronger and stronger, what is going on?"

The medicinal power of cassia seeds here is equivalent to the elixir of more than ten years, and I have never heard of cassia seeds that can continue to grow for more than ten years!

Xiaohong didn't pay attention to Yu Qingwu's self-talk, raised her paw and pointed forward, "There is a fork in the road ahead, where are you going?"

Its cultivation is much higher than Yu Qingwu, and it is talented, so its eyesight is naturally higher than Yu Qingwu. It could see that there was a fork in the road three feet ahead, but Yu Qingwu couldn't see clearly.

Hearing Xiaohong say that there was a fork in the road ahead, Yu Qingwu immediately raised his feet and stepped forward, and after walking for two feet, he found that there was really a fork in the road. He glanced at the two paths, and saw that one path still had more and more dense cassia seeds, while the other road had fewer and fewer cassia seeds.

After bowing his head and thinking for a while, he resolutely stepped on the path full of cassia seeds. It hadn't gone far before there was another fork in the road, and it was exactly the same as before, the same path was full of cassia seeds and the other was very rare.

At this time, Xiaohong also found this abnormality, it bit a cassia seed like a cow chewing a peony, and then ran to the back to bite another plant, after comparing the taste of the two cassia seeds, it returned to Yu Qingwu and said: "The more you go inside, the more bitter it is, and the medicinal power is getting stronger and stronger!"

Yu Qingwu nodded, and said while walking on the road full of cassia seeds: "Keep walking along the cassia seeds, even if you can't reach the water qilin's shelter, you should be able to find something wonderful." ”

After this, one man and one beast encountered seven or eight forks in the road one after another, and each intersection was surprisingly similar, with cassia growing on one of the roads and very few on the other. Walking here, the medicinal power of cassia is already comparable to the Centennial Elixir.

Although cassia seeds are not very rare, but the medicinal power of cassia seeds here is getting stronger and stronger, and even reaching a hundred years of medicinal power, Yu Qingwu still picked a few plants and put them in the storage ring, maybe it will be used at some point in the future.

After walking through two more forks in the road, there is no longer an endless corridor in front of you, but a natural huge stone chamber. There is an irregular stone pillar in the middle of the stone chamber, and the surrounding walls and walls are covered with vines and greenery, and cassia seeds are almost all over the stone chamber.

As soon as you enter the stone room, the temperature drops suddenly, if the temperature outside the stone room is equivalent to early winter, then the temperature inside the stone room is equivalent to that in an ice cellar, and ordinary people can't stay here for too long. Fortunately, Yu Qingwu and Xiaohong are both extraordinary bodies, and this temperature does not affect them much.

"The spiritual power fluctuations here are so strong!" Xiao Hong looked around and said casually, "Presumably this is the place where the water qilin lives." ”

There are spiritual power fluctuations here, and they are stronger than those outside the island, and if the spiritual power fluctuations outside the island are caused by the water qilin, it is tantamount to the same here. It's just that although the stone chamber is large, it is also unobstructed, and one person and one beast have not found any trace of the water unicorn.

Although he was a little disappointed not to find the water qilin, Yu Qingwu did not have the slightest sense of loss, but walked to a cassia tree with a happy face and pulled it up, saying: "The cassia seed here has more than five hundred years of medicinal power, and it is a rare elixir!"

No matter how ordinary the medicine is, as long as the growth period rises to more than 100 years, it will also become an extraordinary medicine, not only will its own medicinal power be strengthened, but it will definitely be pregnant with a good life essence or spiritual power essence. There are thousands of cassia seeds here, and the worst ones have nearly 500 years of medicinal power, so it is conceivable that if you take out the lull and sell it, you will definitely make a lot of money!

"Hey, this cassia plant doesn't look the same!" Xiao Hong said, pointing to the cassia bush, only to see that one of them was slightly smaller than the others, but the fruit was not ordinary pale yellow, but slightly red spots, which looked extremely weird.

Yu Qingwu, who wanted to pick more cassia seeds and put them in the storage ring in case of emergency, heard Xiaohong's words and immediately followed Xiaohong's expectations. This look startled him, although the cassia seeds were a little smaller, and the fruits were not as many as the others, there were only more than a dozen, only six, but the medicinal fragrance they emitted was much stronger than the rest of the cassia seeds, and it was not even worse than the thousand-year-old treasure medicine!

"Good stuff!"

Yu Qingwu's face was full of smiles, and he hurriedly raised his hand to pull up the cassia seed. It didn't matter if he didn't pull it out, as soon as the rhizome of the cassia seed left the ground, it withered, and a yellowish glow flowed from it, pouring into the six fruits on it.

Within half an hour, the rhizome, which was originally more than a foot high, turned into a withered stem, and all the essence flowed into the fruit. And the fruit, which was originally only a little red spot, has completely turned red, as bewitching as blood, red, and exudes a burst of fragrance, which makes people can't help but want to take a bite.

Just as Yu Qingwu was about to eat one to see what special effects this mutated cassia fruit had, a suppressed aura suddenly came out of the corridor. He hurriedly put the six cassia seeds into the storage ring, and then dragged Xiaohong to hide behind the stone pillar to calm down.

Step, step, step!

Crisp and rapid footsteps came into the stone room, and Yu Qingwu's eyes were full of joy in the eyes of Yu Qingwu, who was hiding behind the stone pillar. I can hear that the sound is the sound of footsteps, and it should be the sound of hooves hitting the ground, and this place is the shelter of the water qilin, in other words, the creature that is walking towards the stone chamber is the water qilin that he is looking for!
