A Sword Through the Nine Heavens

Chapter 156: Deadwood Valley

Views:

Cai Lie and Tian Ran have returned to the Alchemy Sect. Master Yao asked to tell the head of the Alchemy Sect about the appearance of the Yumeng Demon Clan in Lanxi City, so there was no horse to send Tian Ran back. He asked Tianran to stay with Cailie and not to disappear again without asking for fun.

When Cai Lie saw Master Yao leaving in a hurry, he crept up to a tree, secretly took out a wine gourd from Qiankun in his sleeve, uncorked the bottle and secretly took a sip of wine, as if intoxicated. "Ah" a few things, and then he seemed to remember something: "Oh, he forgot one thing."

"What's wrong?" Tianran asked absentmindedly while walking in the east of the tree. She and Mu Yu had been playing around for more than a year, and they had become inseparable. But she was suddenly separated from Mu Yu, and she felt a little uncomfortable.

"If Mu Yu wants to go to Fuxian Island, is there a dead wood valley on the way there? He must not go in!" Cai Lie said with some worry. He was not sure whether Mu Yu would be able to turn the corner. If you follow the main road, you will definitely pass there.

"Ah? Is it the Dead Wood Valley? Is there a place where the elders seriously warned them not to go in? Will brother Mu Yu be in danger?" Tianran suddenly became nervous. It was obvious that Tian Ran also knew where the Dead Wood Valley was.

Cai Lie touched his head and said hesitantly: "He won't go in, right? He can just fly through the air."

However, Mu Yu has entered the Dead Wood Valley.

There was a river in the valley, and Mu Yu walked along the river bank after entering. He originally wanted to follow the young man, but he ran too fast and had long since disappeared. The fog was so thick and visibility was pitifully low that Mu Yu didn't even know how far he had gone.

The river bank is covered with soft rocks and withered yellow aquatic plants. The water is very clear, but no living things can be seen. The surroundings were empty, with the occasional crow flying by, and Liudong's ominous cries echoing in the valley, which was particularly strange.

Mu Yu glanced back. The way in was no longer visible, covered by the fog. The fog in the valley persisted for a long time, and now it felt a little dim even at noon, which made people feel very dull.

Bu Nao Muyu wasn't nervous. Anyway, he came in along the river bank. When he encountered danger, he could just go back the way he came. He continued to move forward, and after walking for a while, he suddenly found that the color of the thick fog in front seemed to change, turning into a miserable green.

"Would that be poisonous?"

Mu Yu walked for so long without seeing a single figure, and he felt a little frightened. The sight of the green mist made people panic. Isn't he afraid of poison? Anyway, he brought a lot of root grass seeds here. If he is poisoned, he can just stimulate the seeds to grow and hide in the plants.

"Kacha!"

Mu Yu just looked ahead and ignored Jiao Dong. He seemed to have crushed something. When he lowered his head and looked at it, he almost shouted out. Fortunately, he had already experienced many such situations, so he didn't act too exaggerated.

There was a skeleton, with only the bones and some broken cloth strips left. The man was clutching his neck tightly, as if he could no longer breathe. Mu Yu just stepped on his toe bone and crushed it. According to the degree of bone fragmentation, the man had been dead for several years and there was still a lot of hair on his scalp that had not fallen out!

"He feels like he was poisoned to death." Xiaoshuai kept fanning the green mist around him with his leaves.

Mu Yu has seen a lot of skeletons. Last time he saw the skeletons of many monsters in the cave of the Miserable Spider Scorpion. He even saw so many dead people in the east of the school. Those skeletons are really nothing. He walked in and looked at something. The bones in the man's chest and throat had turned black, which was in stark contrast to other places.

"Is the fog poisonous? Then he has to be careful." Xiao Shuai even got into Mu Yu's arms.

Mu Yu rolled his red eyes. According to his opinion, Xiao Shuai's skin was so thick that Du probably couldn't do anything with it.

"The color of the fog is so weird, it must be poisonous."

Mu Yu wanted to fly, but was horrified to find that he could no longer fly without knowing when. The spiritual power in his body was very operable, but he couldn't fly. There seemed to be something suppressing him around him, so he asked him to fly. Suddenly, he felt as if he was being pressed down by a big mountain.

"He won't run into the Qimen Dunjia of Muyoumeng Demon Clan again, right?" Mu Yu thought about whether he couldn't fly out of the forest when he went to Fulong Mountain for the first time. At that time, he was at least very good at flying. Now, Otherwise, it can't even fly.

"Didn't those people just go in? He wasn't poisoned to death. He thinks they have nothing to be afraid of." Xiaoshuai pinched his nose calmly and said. That guy's skin is so thick, even if the venom doesn't kill it, I really don't know what it's doing by covering its nose.

Mu Yu is not afraid of poison, because poison is only used to destroy body organs. His whole body is full of vitality! Just blend it into the trees and filter it out, and it will basically detoxify.

There was a cliff next to the river. Muyu saw dark green vines on the cliff. He thought if he was poisoned, he could use it to filter something, so he stretched his legs to pull the vines. Unexpectedly, as soon as he got closer, the vines suddenly came to life and rolled towards him, begging to entangle him.

"Damn it! That's a living vine!"

Mu Yu has never seen a moving plant before, but Feng Haochen told him that many plants can move, and some plants are more like animals. They can not only move but also run, and do not necessarily have to stay rooted in one place all their lives.

As the vines rolled in, sharp wooden thorns stood up on the vines. When the living vine usually hunts, does it first entangle the prey and then pierce the prey with wooden thorns, and then gradually absorb the blood of the prey? I don’t know if it can entangle the prey when it lives in a place where birds don’t poop. .

I wonder if it will meet its rightful owner tomorrow. The moment the vine touches Mu Yu, it can no longer move. Mu Yu has already controlled it. The moving vine is not a plant, and he is not the ancestor of plants.

"It's really rough-skinned and thick-flesh." Mu Yu didn't want to kill it, so he chopped off a small section of it and wrapped it around his legs and arms.

"Okay, go back obediently! Please pay attention to Dongji's actions." Muyu patted the vine, and the vine retracted as if frightened, and disappeared after a while.

"Xiao Shuai, am I afraid of poison?" Mu Yu asked.

"He is so handsome, what poison can kill him?" Xiaoshuai shook his head. The synonym of handsome is also called thick skin. Xiaoshuai is not only narcissistic but also invulnerable to all poisons.

Mu Yu stepped into the green mist, and the pungent smell of the liquid immediately entered Mu Yu's nostrils. Mu Yu felt a little dizzy when he was there. He paused and wrapped the vine around his nose to filter out the toxins and let the vines remove the poison.

The visibility of the dense green fog was even lower, and Muyu couldn't even see clearly the river to the east of his feet. He had to always pay attention to his side in case a monster jumped out of nowhere.

Fortunately, everything around Bu Nao was normal, except for the skeletons he saw on the ground from time to time. The poisonous mist seems to be a simple obstacle that has no other function than poisoning people to death.

After Mu Yu walked for a long time, the green poisonous mist finally faded, and the hazy red mist finally disappeared. Mu Yu pulled the vines from his legs eastward. The vines had turned dark, and it seemed that the poison was quite serious. He simply threw it away, since he could use root grass instead.

"Is that place really evil?"

Mu Yu originally hoped to catch a few fish in the river to satisfy his hunger, but now it seems unrealistic at all.

One person and one beast continued to walk, but there was still a red mist in front of them. After walking for a quarter of an hour, Mu Yu found another skeleton. The skeleton showed no signs of poisoning, but it was leaning on the cliff and walking around to death. of.

Ye Chang's ominous premonition spread in Mu Yu's heart. He felt that he should not walk into that valley. There were so many dead people in that valley, and he didn't know how they died.

"Huh? How could a cultivator at the Golden Core stage enter that place?"

A voice sounded, and Mu Yu thought that the skeleton was speaking, and was really startled. He jumped back and looked around cautiously.

A middle-aged man suddenly jumped from the cliff to the east and landed in front of Mu Yu. The man had the cultivation level of Nascent Soul stage, which gave Mu Yu a big headache. How come a random person who meets him is not in the Nascent Soul stage? That makes him very frustrated. Why don't you come to the Golden Elixir stage to give him some confidence

"Who am I?" Mu Yu asked cautiously, not expecting that there were people in such a strange place.

"Don't make such a fuss. I can't stop him from trying to kill me." The middle-aged man smiled. He was wearing a black Taoist robe. His clothes were torn, his beard and hair were messy, his expression was tired, his skin was red, and there was no trace of it. color.

"Why do I feel like I haven't seen the sun in a long time?"

Mu Yu took another step back. Wrong Fang said not to kill him, but who knew what his purpose was? There were no plants there, so if he tried to plot something, he wouldn't be able to escape by himself.

"No! It's not very foggy there, and the sun can't come in. He hasn't seen the sun for half a year." The middle-aged man sighed.

"Then why don't I go out?" Mu Yu felt very strange, how depressing it would be to not see the sun for half a year.

"Get out? Haha, you have to get out." The middle-aged man looked around, "I have the strength of the Golden Core Ninth Level at such a young age, which shows that my talent is very good. I shouldn't enter there."

"They have their purpose." Xiaoshuai stuck his head out and said, his purpose is to find food.

"Purpose? Haha! Who enters the Deadwood Valley without a purpose? Young man, can I ask Deadwood to avenge me for blood or improve my cultivation to avenge myself?" The middle-aged man walked next to the skeleton and leaned against the cliff. Wrong bones are not afraid at all.

"Does it have to be that reason?" Mu Yu didn't know Hong. If he entered that valley, would he have to avenge himself

"Are they looking for food and taking a lot of money to buy food?" Xiaoshuai opened his mouth and couldn't live without food.

"Eat?" The middle-aged man was surprised. He didn't turn around, "Come to that valley to find something to eat? Do we know where that place is?"

"Deadwood Valley! I told him just now." Mu Yu shrugged.

The middle-aged man looked at Mu Yu carefully. He felt that Mu Yu was in a normal state of mind, and he didn't seem to be joking. Could it be that the kid got there by mistake

"That's wrong, uncle, I just said I could get out, can't I get out?" Mu Yu asked.

"If you can't get out there, you can't go back either." The middle-aged man looked very depressed.

"Why?"

"I can continue walking towards Choyuan and I'll find out." The middle-aged man did not answer him directly.

Why can't I get out? Mu Yu didn't believe it. He walked along the river bank. There were such obvious signs. Even if there was no road ahead, he could just walk back.

Mu Yu glanced at the man in confusion, and then continued to move forward. The surroundings were still the same, the river was thick with fog and crows were singing, and the river bank seemed to be deserted. Could it be that he knew how to turn back by himself

Mu Yu kicked something, it was a pitch black vine, it looked very familiar.

"Ah! It turns out there are people like him who use vines to filter poison!" Mu Yu blinked his eyes and didn't care. He continued to smoke. After walking for a quarter of an hour, another figure appeared in front of him.

"Come back?" The figure raised his head. Mu Yu took a closer look and was immediately confused. That person was the middle-aged uncle he met just now. There was that skeleton next to him!

"Uncle, why did I get in front of them? Why did I bring a dead person here?" Xiaoshuai scratched the back of his head.

Mu Yu looked shocked. He thought of the dark vine just now. It belonged to someone else. It was clearly his own. He circled around in a big circle and reached the original spot!

Why does that scene seem so familiar? Mu Yu thought about whether he was manipulated by the Mu Yumeng Demon Clan when he went to Fulong Mountain. Could he have really broken into the territory of the Yumeng Demon Clan
