Suddenly, Long Xiangtian felt a suffocating pressure coming from below. Long Xiangtian was startled and felt a chill in his heart, knowing that he was about to fall to the ground. Long Xiangtian closed his eyes and instantly used up all his strength in his arms. He wanted to push Yunniang up before landing in order to save her life. After all, it was because of him that Yunniang was dragged into the trap, and Long Xiangtian felt that he had to save Yunniang.
But before reaching the ground, Long Xiangtian felt that his offspring had hit a very tough object, and then a strong stinging pain came from his back. Long Xiangtian felt that his offspring seemed to be hung by something. These were not the most important, because Long Xiangtian was surprised to find that although he was hung by an unknown object, the speed of his fall was also slowed down. After falling a few meters, he was suspended in the air by something behind him and stopped.
Long Xiangtian didn't care about the burning sensation behind him, he just let out a long sigh, feeling like he had survived a disaster. Yunniang, who was so nervous that she was almost trembling, also noticed something was wrong, she suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Long Xiangtian in confusion.
"We are... saved?"
"Well, we have to... Ouch..."
Before Long Xiangtian could finish his words, the thing hanging behind him fell down, followed by a creaking sound and Long Xiangtian fell down again. However, this time he was only a dozen meters above the ground. Perhaps it was still a lethal height for ordinary people, but for Long Xiangtian it was completely within the tolerable range.
However, Long Xiangtian was holding Yunniang in his arms. In order to avoid hurting Yunniang by the recoil force, Long Xiangtian did not infuse his front body with true energy. After the two fell to the ground, Long Xiangtian almost vomited blood under the heavy pressure.
Yunniang sat up from Long Xiangtian's arms embarrassedly, looked at Long Xiangtian with some heartache, and rubbed Long Xiangtian's chest silently.
Long Xiangtian's shirt was torn into rags because of the contact with the unknown creature, exposing his muscular body. When Yunniang's smooth and cool hands caressed him, Long Xiangtian's heart was moved. He wished he could enjoy such treatment forever. For a moment, he forgot everything else and couldn't control his feelings. He even uttered a comfortable sound.
This sound instantly made Yunniang's face flushed, but it also awakened her tough side. Yunniang glared at Long Xiangtian, stretched out her hand and slapped him hard on the chest, but still did not speak, and turned away with a flushed face.
Just as Long Xiangtian was about to explain, Yunniang suddenly screamed.
"Yinshi wolfberry!"
Long Xiangtian was stunned, and subconsciously said: "What is Yinshi wolfberry."
Yunniang's complexion returned to normal. She looked at Long Xiangtian and said, "When we were in the corridor earlier, didn't we smell the stench of decayed bones and the smell of medicinal herbs?"
"Is this the wolfberry that Master talked about?" Long Xiangtian also looked in the direction that Yunniang pointed. There, growing in a crisscross pattern were a plant that looked very much like a vine. The vines had barbs about one finger long. Long Xiangtian recalled the feeling just now and immediately connected the thing that had just saved his life with the plant in front of him.
Long Xiangtian stood up and approached the vines. He suddenly found that at the end of each vine, there was a granular thing growing. It looked like wolfberry, but when Long Xiangtian shone the light on it, he found that this wolfberry-like thing was actually blue. Thinking back to what Yunniang said just now, Long Xiangtian's face changed and he guessed, "Guo'er, you just called it Yinshi wolfberry?"
Yunniang nodded.
Long Xiangtian swallowed his saliva and continued, "So, they all grow on corpses?"
Yunniang nodded again.
Long Xiangtian slowly turned his head towards the wall where the Yin Corpse Wolfberry was attached, swallowed his saliva again, reached out to grab the vine, and slowly pushed it aside. It didn't matter when he saw it, Long Xiangtian only felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and his whole body felt like it was electrified. Because behind the vine was not a wall, but a face that was extremely distorted by fear.
It is difficult to tell the gender of the person from this face because he has become a dehydrated mummy. Because of this, the dark face, distorted expression and empty eye sockets have invisibly magnified the fear several times.
Yinshi wolfberry actually grows on corpses!
If that were all, it would be fine. According to Yunniang's explanation, the growth conditions of this kind of wolfberry are extremely harsh and cruel. It's not because of anything else, but because this kind of wolfberry cannot be planted in the soil, but must be cultivated in the skin of a living human! Then wait until the seeds take root and sprout, and the roots spread to the heart before breaking through the skin and starting to grow. At this time, humans cannot die. If they die, they will be abandoned, because such a fertilized body cannot mature the Yin corpse wolfberry. Only when the Yin corpse wolfberry grows the first fruit, the life and death of the fertilized body will become irrelevant.
When wolfberries first grow out, they are bright blood red. As the corpse dies, the color of the wolfberries will slowly turn blue due to the absorption of a large amount of corpse gas. At this time, the wolfberries are considered mature.
As for the effects of Yinshi wolfberry, Yunniang was not very clear, because this thing was only described in some unconventional books, but according to the answer she heard from Chen Lufu, this Yinshi wolfberry has the effect of changing fate. Some people with terminal illnesses can hold on to their last breath and not let them die by eating one pill. With this breath, they can even live for more than ten or twenty years. Since ancient times, it has been regarded as a holy medicine that can make people immortal. However, because its production method is too vicious, it was destroyed by kind people in the long river of history after a long time.
After hearing all this, Long Xiangtian stared at the Yinshi wolfberry in front of him in a daze. Since the Yinshi wolfberry was so difficult to form, then how many living people would be needed to form such a large area of Yinshi wolfberry in front of him. Not counting the places that Long Xiangtian could not see, just from the time when he fell and came into contact with the vines, these vines would spread upwards at least several hundred meters!
The wall, which was several hundred meters high and nearly a hundred meters wide, was densely packed with Yin corpses and wolfberries! Needless to say, behind these Yin corpses and wolfberries, there must be equally densely packed corpses.
Long Xiangtian couldn't help but feel angry. This cultivation method was too cruel! It was a holy medicine for longevity, but this little Yin Shi wolfberry could only save one life, and it took countless innocent souls to cultivate it.
Long Xiangtian could not help but pull the vines hard, trying to tear them apart with his arms. Yunniang hurried forward to stop Long Xiangtian and said, "Dabai, calm down. It's useless to destroy them now. Moreover, if these fruits really have the ability to bring back the dead, then if we take them out, we can definitely save a lot of people. Even if we hand them over to scientific research institutions for research, isn't it much better than destroying them directly?"
After Yunniang's reminder, Long Xiangtian gradually calmed down, sighed and dropped his hands. Yunniang patted Long Xiangtian's shoulder, then took out a piece of clothing from her backpack and handed it to Long Xiangtian: "Your backpack fell on it, I have a coat here, you can wear it for now."
Long Xiangtian nodded, took off his clothes, and felt much better.
