"Reishi can really make people immortal?" Wu Dongfang asked with a frown.
"That's what they say, but no one knows whether it can be true or not." The prince shook his head and said.
After making sure that the group of giant salamanders were not chasing him, Wu Dongfang jumped down from the tree and put the prince down, "Has anyone eaten these kinds of things before?"
"Of course, but I heard that they are all dead." The prince shook his hair.
"Dead?" Wu Dongfang was stunned.
"They are all dead. You'd better be careful in the future. Some monsters with good noses can smell the elixir in your blood. They will kill you and drink your blood." The prince ran westward. go.
"Drink from my blood vessels?" Wu Dongfang followed.
"Even if you can't live forever, you can still live a few more years." The prince changed the topic, "Those are good jade. Once you get them, you can exchange them for a lot of things in Chengchiwei City."
"Are there many aliens who can smell the smell of elixir?" Wu Dongfang was a little uneasy. As the old saying goes, no man is guilty of the crime of concealing the treasure. He did not expect that the ground fat was really useful, let alone that the ground fat might give him Bringing fatal consequences.
"Not much. The guy just now has a very sharp nose. He can smell the scent of ambergris from seven or eight miles away." The prince jumped up and pounced on a big grasshopper and ate it while walking. Foxes like to eat insects, especially insects. Eat grasshoppers.
"What kind of inner elixir can you get if you kill a scoundrel like that just now?" Wu Dongfang asked. If he had used a better weapon just now, he would have killed that guy directly.
The prince swallowed the grasshopper and replied, "The worst one who can talk is the blue inner elixir, but it's useless if you want it. You Jin clan can't make elixirs."
"Why is it that only the Tu tribe among the five tribes can make elixirs?" Wu Dongfang asked. He came back at this time the year before last, so it was already two years ago. However, he had spent most of these two years living in the mountains, and the rest of the time he was either running for his life or not. In practice, there are still many blind spots about the situation of the Xia Dynasty and the situation of wizards.
"I don't know." The prince took out a green snake from the grass, bit it to death and dragged it to Wu Dongfang. Wu Dongfang used a knife to cut open the skin of the snake, skinned it for him, and then stood aside and waited for it to finish eating.
"It's getting dark soon, so we have to find a place to stay as soon as possible." Wu Dongfang said.
"Let's go ahead and have a look." The prince turned around and went ahead.
Wu Dongfang followed, "What is the original color of your inner elixir?"
"Purple." The prince replied very arrogantly.
"How did you lose your inner elixir?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"There seems to be no road ahead." The prince changed the subject.
Wu Dongfang raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and found a very wide canyon five or six miles ahead, running from south to north with no end in sight.
"Let's go and take a look." Wu Dongfang said.
Half an hour later, before it became completely dark, the two of them arrived at the east bank of the canyon. The canyon was several miles wide, with cliffs going straight up and down on both sides. There was no bottom below. They dropped a stone and waited. It took more than ten seconds for the sound of water to come back.
"Where to go?" the prince asked.
Wu Dongfang didn't answer immediately. He couldn't see the north and south ends of the canyon from here, and there was no way to tell which direction the canyon would become narrower if he went there.
After thinking about it, Wu Dongfang squatted down, picked up a stone and drew the direction of the surrounding mountains on the ground, and then used the surrounding mountains to estimate the possible length and location of the canyon.
Ten minutes later, Wu Dongfang threw away the stone and stood up, "Go north."
The prince went first as usual, and Wu Dongfang walked behind. After walking three or four miles north, the prince stopped again, raised his head and smelled, "Why does it smell like the dead?"
"Dead person?" Wu Dongfang was a little surprised. The two of them should be located in the uninhabited mountainous area southwest of the Wood Tribe. It was still far away from the Fire Tribe and there shouldn't be anyone there.
"It's the smell of corpses." The prince was very sure.
"Go over and take a look." Wu Dongfang said.
The prince followed the smell and found the corpse hanging on the tree. This was the corpse of a middle-aged man. The body was hung on the tree, with his feet more than ten centimeters above the ground. He was not wearing any clothes. If it hadn't been for the prince He was sure it smelled like a corpse, and he wouldn't have thought it was a corpse because there was no decay in it, and even the eyes weren't cloudy.
Still fifty meters away from the body, Wu Dongfang stopped, and at the same time called out to the prince who wanted to get closer to the body.
"What's wrong?" the prince asked.
"Based on his height, this man should be a slave of the Tu tribe. It is impossible for him to come here by himself, let alone hang himself here." Wu Dongfang said.
"You mean he was brought here and hanged?" the prince asked.
Wu Dongfang nodded, "The only person who can bring him here is the Tu Celestial Master."
"Yes, this may be a trap set by the Tu people." The prince tilted his head and looked at the big tree dozens of meters away and the body hanging on the tree.
"Detour." Wu Dongfang took a detour to the east.
Detouring a few hundred meters to the east, Wu Dongfang and Wang Ye continued to move north. Since they could not find a suitable foothold, the two walked all night. On the way, they found two more slave corpses hanging from trees. These two corpses were also Man, unclothed and unrotted.
"Something's wrong," the prince said.
"What did you find?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"The smell is wrong." The prince sniffed vigorously.
"Why didn't I smell it? What's wrong?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"Corpse that have been dead for a long time don't smell like this." The prince shook his head in confusion, "The smell they give off is like a skeleton with rotten skin and flesh, but they are obviously not rotten."
"You mean they weren't hung here recently?" Wu Dongfang looked at the corpse in the distance.
"I don't know, but people who have just died don't smell like this." The prince was also very confused.
Wu Dongfang frowned and looked at the corpse. After a moment, he suddenly realized, "Can a wizard control ghosts?"
"Are you a wizard, you ask me?" The prince curled his lips.
"I suspect that these corpses have been cast by Tu wizards. As long as someone comes close to those corpses, their souls will leave the corpses, and the Tu wizards will notice it immediately," Wu Dongfang said.
The prince tilted his head and did not answer.
Wu Dongfang added, "They deliberately took off the clothes of the corpses. They were afraid that we would detect abnormalities through the degree of decay of the clothes. These corpses should have been hung here long ago."
"It makes sense. If the spell hadn't been cast, these corpses would have been eaten by wild beasts in the mountains." The prince nodded.
"These corpses should have been hung here last year. We escaped from the capital of the Mu tribe last year. The Tu tribe guessed that we might go here, so we set up this trap here." Wu Dongfang said.
"Fortunately, I noticed something was wrong, otherwise we would have fallen into their trap." The prince took credit for himself again.
"Thanks to you." Wu Dongfang smiled.
Sensing something unusual, the two of them walked away from the corpses. If they couldn't find a good place to stay, they had to climb a tree. After sleeping in the tree, the two of them continued walking north.
More than a dozen similar corpses were discovered. After walking north for two days, the corpses disappeared and the canyon became wider. Wu Dongfang climbed a mountain and looked north, and found that there was still a canyon hundreds of miles to the north.
Such a large canyon does not exist in modern times. In the thousands of years since the Xia Dynasty to modern times, the topography of China has changed greatly.
Although he didn't find the end of the canyon, Wu Dongfang made another discovery. There was a large bird's nest on a big tree twenty miles to the north. It was the same bird's nest where he rested when he was catching the mangy turtle with the Tu wizard. Almost like that, from a distance, you can see two huge birds standing on the big tree where the bird's nest is located. They have white feathers, long legs, and curved beaks. They should be some kind of large birds that are extinct in modern times.
"You don't want to take advantage of them, do you?" The prince vaguely guessed Wu Dongfang's thoughts.
"We don't know where this grand canyon leads. What if it leads to the boundary of the Tu tribe?" Wu Dongfang said.
"If we went south, we might have passed by now." The prince complained.
"Wouldn't it be worse if it leads directly to the sea from the south?" Wu Dongfang walked north, "Let's go over and see if we can steal a baby bird."
"Don't say we can't steal it, even if we steal it, how can we raise it? If you have time to raise birds, you might as well sit and practice, and just wait until the beginning of time to jump over with me." The prince muttered and followed.
"The east coast is not safe. If you want to practice, you have to go to the west coast." Wu Dongfang said.
At about nine o'clock in the morning, Wu Dongfang and Wang Ye came to the woods where the bird's nest was located, and hid in the distance to observe secretly. After the observation, Wu Dongfang was mixed with joy and sorrow. What he was happy about was that the wingspan of the two big birds exceeded five meters, and it was easy to carry a person. . What is worrying is that the male bird will fly out to hunt, while the female bird will stay in the nest for a long time, which means that there are no chicks in the nest, only eggs.
The prince was sleeping when Wu Dongfang was observing. At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the prince woke up and stretched, "Why are you rubbing the rope?"
"If you can't steal it with a young bird, just ride on the big one." Wu Dongfang said.
"How do you know it will fly west?" the prince asked.
"I have a way." Wu Dongfang said.
The prince didn't ask any more questions and ran to the side for his convenience.
After twisting the rope, Wu Dongfang tied the prince on his back and quickly climbed up the tree after the male bird flew away. The female bird in the nest noticed that someone was approaching the nest, left the nest and flew out, but she did not stay away. , but flapped its wings and chirped loudly, pecking and biting in an attempt to drive Wu Dongfang away, while Wu Dongfang waved the rope and tried to trap it.
"Threat it with an egg," the prince shouted.
Upon hearing this, Wu Dongfang hurriedly turned around and took out a white bird egg larger than an ostrich egg from the nest. When he turned around to pick up the egg, the prince had already been pecked and screamed in pain.
Seeing that one of the two eggs was taken away, the female bird swooped over eagerly. Wu Dongfang swung the rope to catch it, handed the egg to the prince behind him, and jumped on the bird's back.
The female bird was frightened and flew around in the sky. Wu Dongfang, who has rich experience in high-altitude skydiving, did not panic when he arrived in the sky. At first, he just held the rope around the bird's neck tightly. When it calmed down, he left alone. He grabbed both ends of the rope with his hands, freed up his right hand and slapped the female bird on the neck. The female bird was frightened and began to fly sideways.
Seeing that the female bird was flying in the wrong direction, Wu Dongfang raised his hand and slapped her again on the right side. The female bird subconsciously flew to the left. This time, it was in the right direction and started to fly west.
In just ten seconds, the female bird flew across the canyon and came to the sky above the west bank. At this moment, a bird call came from the east. When the female bird heard the call, she immediately began to turn around.
Seeing that he was about to be taken back again, Wu Dongfang didn't think too much, let go of the rope and jumped off. There were no very tall trees on the west bank, mostly shrubs. Although the shrubs offset part of the force of the fall, he still fell badly. .
"Oops, the egg is broken." The prince got out of the noose.
After falling more than 20 meters in the air, Wu Dongfang felt a little short of breath and lay down on the spot to adjust his breathing.
"Get up quickly, we're chasing you." The prince shouted.
Hearing the cry of the prince and the roar of the big bird, Wu Dongfang calmed down, got up, and ran westward with the prince. The two angry birds chased him with loud chirps, swooping down, grabbing and pecking. …
