Chapter 9 The Valley
Chapter 9 Valley ()
With a "huh!", Feng Ruo gently jumped down a cliff several feet high. After staggering for two steps, he quickly stood firm and scanned the surrounding situation with alertness. The position he is currently in has left the scope he has explored, so he must be careful at all times.
If he had a choice, Feng Ruo was unwilling to take risks like this, but this is indeed the fastest way for him to obtain the Five Elements Stone now.
After looking around for a while, Feng Ruo couldn't help frowning. Perhaps this place was close to the hinterland of Dongfeng. The tall trees were no longer sparse, and the entire sky was shrouded by the huge canopy. Occasionally, a trace of sunlight shot in, and it was quickly swallowed by endless shadows. Affected by this, he could not judge the direction at all, and could only determine the location based on memory and experience.
But even so, Feng Ruo was not sure that he would not get lost. In addition, the terrain here is unstable and volatile, so Feng Ruo still feels a little difficult now.
"What a pity! It would be great if there was a flying mount!" Feng Ruo couldn't help but sigh. If he had a white-feathered crane, it would not only shorten the travel time, but in this case, he naturally didn't have to worry about getting lost, and he could hide in the sky once he encountered some unknown danger.
After a bitter smile, Feng Ruo directly got rid of this unrealistic idea. In this crisis-ridden environment, distracting is not a good thing.
Perhaps because the trees are too abundant, the weeds on the ground seem a little pitiful, but similarly, the unknown vines grow wildly, and everywhere you see, so that Feng Ruo had to force a road.
Fortunately, Yingyue's short sword is really sharp and you can do this without much effort. I think if it were replaced by the long sword from the past, dozens of gaps would have been knocked out by this time.
Of course, while being careful and alert, Feng Ruo did not forget to search for spiritual herbs everywhere, such as blood coagulation herbs and nectar branches, without considering them. In this environment, there is no chance for them to grow.
However, in the primary spiritual herb identification record, there is a kind of spiritual herb purple green vine growing in a dark environment. Specifically, this spiritual herb has far exceeded the level of blood coagulation herb and nectar branches, and is considered extremely precious. What is particularly important is that this substance can be used as the main medicine for refining the bleeding-stop pill.
The bleeding-stop pill is not comparable to the shoddy spiritual medicine like the bleeding-stop pill. This is a real spiritual pill, which has the effect of living and dead people and treating white bones. Even if it is seriously injured and dying, as long as you take this bleeding-stop pill, you can recover within a few hours. It is definitely the best choice for hunting.
Unfortunately, a bleeding-stop pill requires thirty low-quality Five Elements Stones. Even a hunting team like Qu Yun and others can only buy two or three spare ones.
Of course, Feng Ruo also hopes that he can collect a purple green vine, so that he can earn at least four or five low-grade five elements stones, which is much more cost-effective than hunting a first-level spirit beast.
However, this purple green vine is not as everywhere as the blood coagulation grass, and it is very rare. What's more, in this environment, many disciples of the Qingyun Sect who plan to collect the purple green vine returned in such a desperate situation.
Holding his breath, Feng Ruo gently cut the vines blocking the road in front with the Yingyue short knife, while searching carefully. As for the spirit beasts, he was not very worried, because in this place where there are dense vines, even if a spirit beast appears, it will make a loud noise in advance.
After walking forward for about an hour, Feng Ruo's eyes became darker and darker. It was obvious that no one had been here for a long time, and the vines covering the sky had already covered all the spaces with airtightness.
"Damn it!" Seeing this, Feng Ruo had to give up and continue moving forward. It was not because he was afraid, but because he was time to return. Otherwise, he would have to stay overnight in Dongfeng. This was not the result he wanted.
After shaking his neck, Feng Ruo turned around and was about to return along the way, but he never thought that he would step on an extremely slippery object. He almost fell on his back after being caught off guard. Fortunately, his reaction was very fast and he took advantage of the situation to jump to the side.
Unexpectedly, the place where he settled was actually a steep slope. Now, he had no time to react and he couldn't help but fall down!
The sudden situation was so scary that Feng Ruobuqing was, but fortunately he didn't scream, otherwise it would be a bad idea if he attracted some spiritual beasts at this time.
After rolling down for a moment, Feng Ruo finally stopped the decline, but the already ruined clothes on his body could not stand it and turned into strands.
But Feng Ruo didn't have time to care about these things now, and quickly placed Yingyue's short sword on his chest, and observed the surrounding situation quickly. He didn't breathe a sigh of relief after confirming that there was no danger.
This is a narrow valley, about hundreds of feet long and only ten feet wide. Both sides are steep, but because the towering trees and vines on both sides block it, it is difficult to find the existence of this valley even if you ride a flying mount and pass by it. As for the ground, it is even more difficult to find it. If Feng Ruo had not stepped on the air just now, he would probably not have found this valley that was close to him.
After carefully examining the situation here, Feng Ruo felt a little excited, because with the unique location of this valley, it is very likely that no one would notice it.
You should know that the four peaks in the core area of Qingyun Mountain have always been the back gardens of the three generations of disciples. The most powerful spirit beasts here are only second-level spirit beasts, and the rare spirit herbs have long been plundered by them. In such a hidden valley, there may be many missing spirit herbs. As long as a few of them are collected, he will make a fortune.
However, Feng Ruo was not overwhelmed by excitement. He understood very well that his strength was not enough to compare with those of the three generations of Qingyun Sect’s disciples. This was not his back garden!
Taking a deep breath, Feng Ruo casually sorted out the rags on his body, then walked forward with Yingyue's short knife carefully, while carefully observing the grass and trees around him.
There are not many trees in this valley, and the corresponding various flowers and plants are also very prosperous. From the perspective of Feng Ruo standing, it is extremely beautiful.
But these flowers and plants are waist-deep, and no one knows what is hidden there.
After Feng Ruo walked forward more than ten steps, a "rustling" sound suddenly came from behind him. Before he could turn around and look, he felt something entangled with his left leg. Then a huge force was pulled over, almost knocking him over.
Fortunately, Feng Ruo's reaction was also very fast, and he immediately sank his waist and exerted force to offset the force. At this time, he realized that what was entangled with him was a white silk thread similar to his hair, and the source of the thread was a silver spider the size of a calf!
"Hiss" When Feng Ruo saw such a huge spider at first sight, even though he was determined, he couldn't help but take a breath. What's even more, the primary spirit beast identification record did not record the information about this huge spider.
"Is this a second-level spirit beast?" Feng Ruo's thought flashed quickly. The second-level spirit beast was not something he could deal with now, because it was almost equivalent to a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi refining. Even Kong Fei had to spend a lot of effort to hunt it!
The thoughts were turned and Feng Ruo swung his knife and slashed at the spider silk that was wrapped around his left leg. Now he just wanted to escape as far as he wanted. As for other thoughts, he didn't dare to think about them.
"Keng" Feng Ruo's Yingyue short knife actually bounced back when it hit the slender spider silk, which almost made him unable to grasp it!
"Oh no! This spider silk is actually more tough than snow silk!" Feng Ruo said in shock. Then, without thinking, he quickly injected his magic power into the Yingyue Short Sword, and almost at the same time, the entire blade was wrapped in half a foot long red flame! This time, for the sake of caution, Feng Ruo deliberately increased the output of his magic power.
"Broken!" With Feng Ruo's low shout, a fire flashed rapidly from mid-air and slashed firmly on the spider silk. With a violent tremor, the spider silk was cut off with a "pop" sound!
However, Feng Ruo had no time to appreciate the results of the battle and turned around and ran away, because the huge spider was beyond his imagination. His magic power could only support the use of the flame sword three times. If the five active spiders were added, they could only use it eight times in total, but he didn't think that these eight swords could break the defense of the silver spider.
With Feng Ruo's sudden force, he rushed out more than ten feet in a blink of an eye, but the silver spider was not slow at all, and followed closely behind. I thought that as long as he pulled a little closer, it could spray spider silk.
In this case, Feng Ruo had no time to escape from the steep sides of the valley, and could only run towards the front of the valley with no chance. In any case, the terrain in the valley was quite flat.
But suddenly, Feng Ruo suddenly felt empty under his feet. When he looked down, he found that it was a dark cave! But because he was fleeing in a hurry and the weeds around him covered him, he didn't notice it!
