Chapter 51: The Valley of Forgotten Sorrows (Part II)

When I woke up, it was noon, and the sun was scorching. I was in a lot of pain, and I used all my strength to open my eyes, and there was silence in the place where I entered, except for trees, and although there were weeds on the ground, they were very scarce. The Howling God was on the side, stabbing above the ground, and on the other side were a few large trees that had been cut down. Looking into the air, he realized that he was in the canyon, and thus he also knew that he was not dead, just a dream.

Falling from the air, the already painful shoulder was injured again, and the force was completely useless, although I could feel that the arm bone was not broken, but I didn't want to make any movement in a short time. And this time the right leg was also seriously injured, and I don't know what cut a long wound, with a lot of debris and mud attached, but the bleeding was stopped.

Struggling to stand up, barely standing up straight, relying on the support of the Howling God. There are trees all around, and there is a canyon above, but it has only been a stick of incense, and now the sun can no longer shine on the ground, and it is impossible to even see the sun from a distance, let alone the time of day.

Enduring the severe pain, he closed his eyes and tried to introduce the aura into his body, and left the place first. But the moment the aura was introduced, the chest and lungs were like tens of thousands of steel needles pierced, and then the abdomen contracted violently, and a mouthful of blood broke out from the abdomen and spurted on the ground.

As soon as the blood touched the ground, it was swallowed up by the soil like falling rain, and a small tree seedling grew on the ground again, staring at Lin Feng in a daze. The latter frowned and spat the blood from his mouth on the sapling, which was devoured again, and in a moment the seedling had grown more than a foot taller, still eager to water.

Lin Feng unconsciously felt cold all over his body and took two steps back, the sharp pain in his leg came and he suddenly fell to the ground, and the tree was cut off with a wave of the Howling God, but in a moment, the saplings that were cut down withered, but the sap gave birth to more saplings. As he struggled to get up, he touched something in his hand, and when he looked up, he saw that it was a human skull.

Looking at the situation, the ground is full of bones, which have been flattened on the ground, and now the white bones are covered with moss and dirt, and if you don't pay attention, you can't see it at all. Even the branches of the trees have some bones attached to them, and some have even been swallowed by the trees and wrapped in the trunks.

I don't know how many lives have been devoured here, and every tree is made of flesh and blood. Sighing lightly, the severe pain in the chest and abdomen was unbearable, and he could only sit on the ground, and a little luck would cause sudden pain, so he had no choice but to give up. If you can't walk with a sword, you can't go upright, the canyon is very high and there is nowhere to climb, there is no flowing water around, and you can't quench your thirst for a long time.

And I have been meditating in the valley for more than an hour, not to mention the animals, not even the sound of birdsong, nor have I heard snakes, insects, rats and ants on the ground. After Lin Feng calmed down a little, he recalled what he was thinking, and the three words of Forget Worry Valley came to mind, if he didn't notice the mistake, this place was undoubtedly the weird valley that could only be entered and exited in the rumor.

Of course, it's not really a place devoid of life. Just as Lin Feng was looking into the distance, a black-red moth flew down from the leaves in the air, and the Howling God instantly waved it to cut it off, his eyebrows furrowed like cracks. This thing is called a blood-drinking insect, and when it is young, it is like a moth, and once it comes into contact with blood, it will not stop until it drinks blood to the size of a wild dog, and then sleeps until the body is back to its young size, and it will also lay larvae buried deep in the soil halfway, and will crawl out of the soil when the blood hits.

Although the insect is fragile, any creature that is ingested by it will be poisoned, and within an hour, the poisoned person will be unconscious, and never to wake up again. And this place called the Valley of Forgotten Sorrows is also the place where this blood-drinking insect lives, which further confirms the previous speculation and proves that the place where he is is is terrifying.

The Valley of Forgotten Sorrows is not a name for horror, but even has a touch of beauty. But the word forgetting sorrow does not mean forgetting sorrow. The valley of forgetting worries is because once you are in the valley, no matter how much trouble you have in the outside world, it will become a trivial matter, and this deep valley is the source of all sorrows.

Blood-drinking insects are the only creatures in the valley other than trees, and when there is no blood to eat, they will hide in the soil or never appear again for more than ten years or hundreds of years, and their lifespan is unattainable. It is rumored that there were three masters in Candlebath City who never went back to explore the deep valley, and this matter also spread to all the sects in the Central Plains, and the three characters of Forget Worry Valley are also famous all over the world, and almost everyone knows about it.

As seen from this place, this deep valley is a ray of heaven, and there is no exit between the left and right, not so much a valley, but in fact, this place is just a patio, a deep and dark place. Even in the middle of the day, there is no sunlight shining, and only in the early morning you can see a cup of tea for about a while, and the sun will set and shine on the surface.

Not only that, but it is rumored that people who are in a deep valley will not be able to fall asleep, and once they fall asleep, nightmares will come for some reason. Not only the things to fear, but even those closest to them will become nightmares. But no one knows where this rumor came from, only that it was after the bad news of Candlebath City spread, otherwise he would not know how to enter and exit this terrifying place.

If you are thirsty, you can't even meditate. Tearing the strip of cloth on his arm and bandaging the wound between his legs temporarily, the hilt of the sword was held in his hand, and he relied on the sword scabbard to support the ground with a dragon's tail semicircle, and walked towards the edge of the forest step by step, intending to find an exit that he had not been rumored to have.

The Howling God was like a crutch and had become a necessary thing for Lin Feng to support his body, but at this moment, he couldn't make it glow with a white glow. The deep valley is narrow and deep, and it takes less than half an hour to come to the edge of the rock wall, which is still inconvenient to walk, and if it is a normal time, there may not be a cup of tea.

It is not short before and after, and you can walk for half an hour, but at present, it takes about three hours to reach the edge. There is no area to climb along the way, but there are more than a dozen caves and ancient caves, but some people dare not enter them.

No light could be seen in any of the ancient caves, and the visible place was only about half a step, and further down it became a dark place. There was no sound in the forest, but in this ancient cave, you could hear the soft sound of insects and snakes, and there were frogs chirping.

Undoubtedly, such a terrifying place, the blood-drinking insects are constantly flying, if it is an ordinary thing, it should have been sucked dry, and if you are still alive, you must not be afraid of the larvae, in fact, it is needless to say that the things in this cave are more terrifying than the blood-drinking insects. In any case, there is no light to enter now, and if you rush in, you may lose your life for no reason, so you must be cautious.

Fortunately, the exploration is not without advantages, the two caves closest to the west side are close together, the two cave entrances extend inward one left and one right, and a thin stream appears in the middle of the cave from the top of the cave along the rock wall in the middle of the two cave entrances, the water flow is clear and soft, and there is no peculiar smell.

The jade pendant between the neck was removed, and the place where the two mouths were tied was a pair of silver hooks, which was not poisonous after entering the water. Suddenly, he sighed and relaxed a lot, and after drinking a few sips, the forehead swelling and pain eased a lot, and the original hot mood calmed down a little, so that he could calm down his mind and how to leave.

Along the way, I saw a total of 12 holes, and I thought that there would not be too few on the other side. Lin Feng didn't think that all of these ancient caves could lead to the outer places. Therefore, it was difficult to find the exit for a while, and there was no fire starter, and there was no dead wood around, and once these branches hit the ground, they would be depleted and reduced to debris in a moment, and they would return to the earth in half an hour.

Such a place must be explored first, and if you can't find anything combustible, you can only take the risk of spying.

However, it is now imperative to treat the wounds between the arms and legs first. There is no need to worry about the clear water, but there is no medicinal powder beside him, although the dirty mud is disgusting, it can stop the blood, once it is removed, I don't know how. And it seems that he is also very lucky, this wound should have been sealed when it landed, otherwise he might have died at this moment.

But if the mud is not cleared, the wound is difficult to heal, and the most serious one is that it is painful, and it is impossible to rely on it to walk, and it is limited to the difficulty of escaping if the sword scabbard of the Howling God is in danger. After thinking about it, he finally gritted his teeth and drew water to clean his arm first, and tore open the wound in his Confucian shirt, and the bloodstains and mud fell to the ground, which led to several blood-drinking insects, and hurriedly drew his sword to kill it, and it was not bad that it did not attract the growth of strange trees.

The wound was a little deep, and the pain was to remove the debris from it, which was probably caused by a scratch that had pierced a wooden branch when it fell from the sky. There was no filling of the blood, and I hurriedly bandaged it. I don't know how long it took for the blood to stop overflowing, so I had to replace the cloth strip and wash it a little, and it was ready for later use.

There is no dry firewood here, if you want to go into the deep cave without a cloth strip is difficult to do, as for how to start the fire can only think of some ways later, if it really can't be done, you can also change the bandaging used, in short, you can't throw it.

I sat in place for an unknown amount of time, but it was already dark. When the starry sky was full, Lin Feng couldn't sleep, in fact, it should be said that he didn't dare to fall asleep, not only the trouble of blood-drinking insects, but also nightmares, lying down may not be able to wake up again, so he can only wait for dawn vigilantly.

Fortunately, the moonlight is in the sky, and the surroundings are not too dark, and the half moon is not bright enough to see the surroundings clearly. At night, when this blood-drinking insect is active, people can only hide in the corner, not daring to attract the attention of the evil insects. I didn't dare to let my guard down all night, in fact, even if I wanted to, I couldn't do it, and the sound of insects always caused a chill.

It was extremely difficult overnight, Lin Feng killed dozens of blood-drinking insects before he got through it, ushering in the sunshine. Early morning is when the light is at its best. I didn't sleep all night, my body was extremely uncomfortable, my legs were painful because I hadn't moved for a long time, and they were already swollen because they had not moved for a long time, which was what Lin Feng was most worried about at the moment.

If you can't escape for a short time, maybe this leg can't be saved, there is no food here, the blood-drinking insects are small and poisonous and inedible, and even if the trees are edible, they can't eat. Therefore, today it is necessary to get close to these ancient caves and explore them anyway.
