Chapter 863 Death Valley
Brother Yaozi and the others had no objections to my proposal.
In fact, after the description and exaggeration by the old fox and the herb collector, they had developed a strong interest in this so-called stick mouth. They had long been curious about what was going on inside. Without any supervision, Wushuang and I walked in
At the front, the other people followed one after another. After passing through the large field of white-headed trees in front of them, the moment they stepped into the pass between the two mountains, the light became obviously dim.
I looked up and saw that the mountains on the left and right sides of the pass were very interesting. The stones on the top of the stony mountains were opened like umbrella covers, and the two mountains were connected together, quite blocking the sky and the sun.
This feeling makes this pass look like an arch bridge as a whole, and we are now right under the "bridge hole".
Because sunlight is difficult to enter, the pass is dark and humid, filled with a fishy smell, but there are no activities of some shade-loving insects. There are only some scattered gravels, and the lush and green Pulsatilla no longer exists.
I just stopped here for a while, and then walked forward. Due to the light, the further away from the pass, the darker the surroundings became. However, when I walked less than a hundred meters away, the surroundings were already in chaos.
Just looking at the environment, I might have thought it was around ten o'clock at night.
As a last resort, we could only take out the flashlight.
What's interesting is that after crossing the bare section of the pass, as we walked deeper step by step, the surrounding vegetation gradually became more lush, and the pass was no longer a pass. The surrounding area became wider and wider, as if it was already a
There is a huge valley, and the two mountains can no longer be seen on the left and right, but the rocks spreading from the top of the mountains still block the sky, showing us the miraculous craftsmanship of nature unscrupulously.
As herbal collectors say, this is indeed a paradise for Chinese herbal medicine!!
Almost all the plants I see along the way can be used as medicine.
There are wild sesame seeds, mountain tangerines, mountain leeks, etc. There are even some species that I can’t tell the difference between.
Even, when I went deep enough, I saw a small stream that probably snaked down from the nearby mountain. The water in the stream was clear, and there were some small fish in the water that were only a dozen centimeters long at most, and they were surprisingly broad-finned.
Li, also called peach blossom fish, its flesh can also be used as medicine, and can cure sores, boils, scabies and other diseases.
All in all, everything here can be used as medicine!
Although I am not majoring in the medical skills of Taoism, I have still dabbled in it to some extent. It can be seen that the quality of the medicinal materials here are first-class. It is a pity that in a place like this, there are probably no medicinal collectors.
Dare to pick it.
Even Lao Bai, who knew nothing about Chinese medicine, sighed after walking for a while: "I have long heard that these extremely yin places are easy to produce natural and earthly treasures. In the past, the extremely yin places we went to were all
Fiercely, I was just trying to save my life, and I never paid close attention to other things. I gradually started to sneer at this statement. Only now do I realize that this statement is true. It’s a pity that we don’t have the ability to join a gang. If we did,
If you come here, why don’t you make a fortune? I have a hunch that old wild ginseng can definitely be dug up in this place!”
"Shut your mouth, it's all money."
Brother Yaozi sneered and said: "The ginseng gang will not mention the word ginseng when entering the mountain. It is said that those powerful ginsengs are almost psychic. Not only can they avoid danger, they will also cause you some trouble if you look at them in a hurry. We are here
Those who work here should avoid causing trouble!"
I also laughed and said: "In extremely yinous places, it also depends on the yin method. For example, in the place we are now, if the yin is just right, the treasures produced will be natural materials and earthly treasures. If the yin is too strong, not only will there be no
With the treasures of heaven and earth, I'm afraid there will be deadly evil things. The places we went to in the past were extremely cloudy, but don't underestimate it. I think the distance to this pass is not short. The further we go, the more we go.
Let’s go, I’m afraid it’s going to be extremely overcast. To be honest, after I entered this place and took a real look at it, I realized that neither the old fox nor the herb picker told lies. I’m afraid this place is amazing!”
Lao Bai immediately shut up and didn't dare to say any more.
After walking forward for a while, I calculated the time and found that it should be night outside by now, and it was even darker in the canyon. As I said, the Yin Qi here gradually began to become more severe, and there were no more old herbs.
The lively scene was instead filled with withered yellow grass, but I couldn’t recognize the species of the grass. It looked like sisal and was as tall as a person!
Beyond this piece of withered grass, a little further ahead, there is a dark forest.
Because the distance is relatively far, I can't see clearly what's going on in the forest, and I can't even see what kind of trees they are. The weather in the valley has also changed drastically. I don't know when the wind started.
The stench is exactly that of rotting corpses.
The withered grass as tall as a person was blown by the wind and lowered its head, making a rustling sound at the same time as the dark forest in the distance, as if there were many lonely ghosts whispering in the ears.
“The smell comes from this grass!!”
Zhang Xinya covered her nose, stepped back slightly, and said in a low voice: "How many things have died, how come the stench is so vicious!"
It was probably the environment here that made Xiaobai a little uneasy. He stuck his head out of my jacket pocket and whined twice.
A few of us were unsure of the depth, and for a moment we didn't dare to walk into the grass that was as tall as a person. We just frowned and looked around.
Suddenly, the grass not far from Lao Bai shook abnormally a few times.
Without saying a word, Lao Bai, this coward, hid behind me. He even squeezed out Xiao Zhi who I had just pulled behind me. Then he felt a little embarrassed and pulled Xiao Zhi in.
In my arms, I said shamelessly, "Don't be afraid, Uncle Bai will protect you", but he refused to come out from behind me.
Brother Kite pulled out his short knife, stared at the bushes and shouted: "Get out!"
A low roar of "Woo-Woo" came from the bushes.
Wushuang snorted coldly, picked up the Mo Dao and slashed forward. He didn't like to think too much, and he always did things simply and neatly. Since the opponent couldn't come out, he just went in. When the Mo Dao swept across, he saw the whole thing in front of him.
Pieces of withered grass fell down, and not long after, a large open space appeared around us, and the source of the stench was also reflected in our drill.
Corpse!!
There are corpses all over the grass!
Dead rabbit, dead fox, dead roe deer...
Densely packed and layer upon layer, they were all filled with dead animals.
Some looked like they had died not long ago, some had rotted away, leaving only a ball of black fur, and most of them were dead bones. The piles of dead bones were probably dozens of centimeters thick, and there was even a round heart among them.
, the white skull is clearly a dead person!
Suddenly, the Mo Dao in Wu's hands was pulled out, and he quickly took two steps back. He slammed the Mo Dao to the ground with a "clang" and stared ahead with a wary face.
Several flashlights shined at the place where he was staring.
In the grass, a pair of green eyes were staring coldly at Wushuang.
For a moment, the grass squirmed, and a ferocious head slowly poked out of it. It was a tiger with hanging eyes and a white forehead.
No, calling it a fierce tiger is actually a bit too much. The tiger in front of me is not ferocious. It can even be said to be weak. It should be an old Siberian tiger. The fur on its body is dull, the bones are thin, and some of its fur has even fallen off.
There were large areas of ulcers, especially on the hind legs. At first glance, the rotten flesh seemed to be crawling, indicating that maggots were born.
Leng Youyou's eyes swept over us one by one. After that, the Siberian tiger slowly retreated into the grass and showed no desire to attack us.
It's like waiting to die.
After a sudden surge of grass, the grass returned to calm.
Zhang Xinya relaxed her tense body, let out a breath, and frowned: "It was a false alarm. I thought I was entering a burial ground. What kind of place is this? Why do so many animals die here?"
This description was mentioned by the old fox.
It also said - Never go into the woods!
I cast my gaze towards the dark woods in the distance, sighing to myself that unless we had wings and could fly, we would have to go in.
But, definitely not at night!!
I took a few steps back, forced a smile, and said softly: "That's it for today. Leave here and find a place to camp near the water source!!"
Chapter completed!
