Wen Qiao and Ning Yuzhou talked about what happened to Heiyan Gorge this month, and by the way, they mentioned the underground river in Heiyan Gorge.
"That underground river should be very long. We were in a hurry that day, and we didn't check other places. Why don't we pick a time to go and have a look." Wen Qiao said, looking at him.
Ning Yuzhou pondered, nodded and said: "Alright, I'll go there after I extract the venom of these poisonous weeds."
"Why."
Wen Qiao responded happily, turned around and pulled her storage bag to see if there was anything useful. After all, it is not known what will be hidden in the underground river, so it is better to be well prepared.
After a few days like this, Ning Yuzhou finally took the time to go to the underground river in Heiyan Gorge with Wen Qiao to check.
The little wolf cub pricked up his ears vigilantly, knowing that they were going out, he chased after them cleverly, and was caught by a big tail and dragged back.
"Aoooooooooooooooo!!"
The little wolf cub barked loudly at the wolf king, struggling on all fours to free the tail.
But how could a father let his son break free? The little wolf cub could only "watch" the two of them walking away, until there was no sign of the two of them in the cave, it was so sad that it didn't want to talk to its father, and bit the big tail with a woo.
The wolf king flicked his tail indifferently. The cub's deciduous teeth held the big tail tightly, like a ball of hair hanging on the tail, and the wolf king could fly it away with a light flick.
Wen Qiao and Ning Yuzhou didn't know what happened in the cave. After they left the cave, they jumped on the back of a wolf.
The demon wolf spread its wings and carried them towards Heiyan Gorge.
Qingyan Oasis is actually not far from Heiyan Gorge. With the flying speed of the two-winged wolf, it can be reached in an hour.
When they came to Heiyan Gorge, the two jumped off the back of the green-winged wolf and entered Heiyan Gorge from the mouth of the canyon.
The accompanying blue-winged demon wolves were worried about them, and followed them into the canyon.
The situation in Heiyan Gorge is similar to what Wenqiao came to see a few days ago. The smell of blood has long since dissipated, and the dry blood on the ground has also faded.
The two picked a passage to enter the cave in the canyon.
Before going in, Wen Qiao said to the demon wolf who sent them over: "We don't know how long we will stay inside, why don't you go back first?"
The green-winged wolf whined a few times, shook its head firmly, and expressed that it would wait here for them to come out.
The passage in the cave is too small for an adult green-winged wolf to get in, so Wen Qiao didn't want to take them in, just let them send them over.
Wen Qiao thought for a while and said, "It's fine, but if there is any danger, you must escape as soon as possible, and you don't have to wait for us."
The blue-winged wolf whined a few times to show that it understood.
Wen Qiao stuffed one of them with a bottle of panacea, and the green-winged wolves rolled the panacea into their mouths happily, and became more and more determined to wait for them to come out so that they could be carried back to Qingyan Oasis.
During these days, the Qingyi demon wolf already regarded Wen Qiao and the others as part of the Qingyan Oasis, without realizing that they were not of the same race as the demon wolf, so they naturally integrated into the demon wolf group.
Although Ning Yuzhou could see clearly, he didn't say anything.
After arranging the demon wolf, the two entered the passage in the black cave.
Still let the two yellow crystal ants lead the way, and the two followed behind. Wen Tutu lay on Wen Qiao's head, with his ears closed, and kept alert at all times.
Although Heiyan Gorge looks like people went to the empty city, but who knows if there will be bandits turning back and hiding in the cave. In particular, the caves on both sides of Heiyan Gorge extend in all directions and the terrain is complex. They are quite familiar with the terrain of Heiyan Gorge, so it is possible that they will hide here.
There were two yellow crystal ants leading the way, and they didn't waste much effort before they saw the familiar strange stone.
When they rescued the little wolf last time, although they used explosive beads to blow up many caves, the caves in Heiyan Gorge are too large, and many places are still well preserved, such as this passage, which has not been affected.
The strange stone was still stuck there, and there was no sign of being moved.
I also understand that this strange stone cannot be taken away with a storage bag, and it is too heavy. Unless there is such a strange force as Wen Qiao, it is difficult to move it, so the practitioners who beat in did not move it. .
Wen Qiao moved Yishi to a gap that could allow people to enter, and the two of them went in together.
As in memory, after passing through a long and narrow passage, I saw the quietly flowing underground river.
The two came to the river and observed the surrounding environment.
Wen Qiao looked around carefully last time, pointed to the passage not far away and said, "Husband, look at those passages, I don't know if they lead to the outside."
Ning Yuzhou looked in the direction she pointed and said, "Maybe, but it might be a dead end."
Wen Qiao groaned, and asked again: "Then where are we going now?"
Ning Yuzhou didn't answer. He listened to the sound of the wind and water around him, and observed the flow and breath of the air. After a long while, he decided: "Let's go upstream along the river bank first, and see where the upstream is."
"OK."
After making a decision, the two walked up the river together.
As they walked, they observed the underground river, and found that the width of the river was different in different sections. The further upstream, the narrower the river was, and the deeper the river was. .
In addition, the riverside is full of gravel, which is extremely desolate, and there are no plants to be seen.
The two walked along the river bank for about three hours, and then found that there was no road ahead.
There is a wet rock formation, and the river flows out of a cave quietly. The river water almost fills the entire cave. If they insist on going up, they have to dive into the water.
However, this underground river looks calm on the surface, but there is no danger lurking below the river, and there may even be some powerful underwater monsters. With the current strength of the two of them, it is best not to go down easily.
The two turned back.
After returning to the starting point again, they continued down.
The lower the river, the wider the river, and the less gravel along the river, gradually changing from large stones to river sand. After walking for a while, I found that the environment on the river bank has become moist soil, and some shade-loving Spirit grass grows sparsely in it.
Wen Qiao couldn't help but said: "Husband, it seems that the river downstream is open, and the soil by the river is more suitable for the growth of spirit grass. The golden beard and black-winged butterfly flower we dug up that day should grow in the downstream."
"It should be." Ning Yuzhou looked at the spiritual grass by the river, "This underground river is longer than I thought, and the environment here is good."
How nice
Wen Qiao was thinking about it when she saw Ning Yuzhou bent over and reached out to pick up a handful of grass leaves by the river.
She was startled, pulled his hand nervously, and said, "Don't touch it casually, what if it's a poisonous weed?"
Ning Yuzhou looked at her with a smile, enjoying her concern, but said: "It's okay, I have been exposed to a lot of poisonous weeds these days, and it didn't have any effect on me."
Wen Qiao groaned, looked at his face, pressed his hand silently, and then let go.
Then Ning Yuzhou picked some of the poisonous weeds he saw by the river, put them in jade boxes, and continued walking down.
The further they went down, the wider the river became. Soon after, they found that the river was divided into three parts and flowed towards three different caves.
Wen Qiao couldn't help but look at Ning Yuzhou to see what he had to say.
Ning Yuzhou looked at the three rivers, and thoughtfully said: "The place where we dug up the golden beard and black-winged butterfly flowers that day should be one of these three rivers..."
Because these three rivers did not know where they flowed or what would happen along the way, they randomly picked a river in the middle and threw a prepared boat onto the river.
The boat went down the river, and it didn't need much effort at all, and the boat went with the current.
The surrounding area was quiet except for the clacking of the boat.
The river surface was about three feet high from the top of the cave, and the two stood by the boat to observe the surroundings. Not long after, Wen Qiao found that the river surface was getting farther and farther away from the top of the cave, and felt that the flow of the river seemed to be going lower underground.
Just as she was thinking, her ears moved suddenly, she listened carefully, and said, "There seems to be a waterfall ahead."
Ning Yuzhou was taken aback, but did not doubt her judgment, and raised the defensive array on the ship.
This boat is a mysterious spirit weapon. Ning Yuzhou refined it when he was bored. The quality of the boat is not good, but there are some defensive formations engraved on the boat. If there is any danger, it can last for a while.
Soon after, they all heard the rumbling sound of the water, and the speed of the boat was getting faster and faster.
Amidst the sound of rumbling water, the boat flew out of the water, then fell from a high place into the pool below, and was submerged by the flood.
After a while, the boat surfaced and was pushed far away by the surrounding current.
At this time, Wen Qiao and Ning Yuzhou also saw the surrounding environment clearly, and couldn't help being stunned.
The two sides of the river are open, with dense vegetation growing, and you can't see the edge at a glance.
This place is like an underground space with lush forests and grass, which is very suitable for the growth of spiritual grass.
Wen Qiao controlled the boat, and when the boat docked, the two jumped off the boat.
Putting the boat into the storage bag, the two walked towards the lush forest on the shore.
There are many spiritual plants growing here. Although it is in the dark underground space, the air in the place is humid and the spiritual energy is sufficient. The spiritual plants grow very vigorously. There are shade-loving vines climbing everywhere on the surrounding walls, and there are blooming flowers on the vines. There are purple flowers one after another, and the stamens are fluorescent, embellishing this space like a fantasy and beautiful world.
Wen Tutu grabbed a roadside fruit with his claws and sniffed it, then stuffed it into his mouth and started to chew.
Wen Qiao said: "Wen Tutu, don't eat fruit on my head, do you understand?"
Wen Tutu jumped onto her shoulder and gnawed.
Ning Yuzhou glanced at it, and couldn't bear it anymore and said, "I'm not going to chew on Ah Ji's shoulder either."
Wen Tutu glanced at him, then jumped into Wen Qiao's arms to chew.
Ning Yuzhou: "..."
Ning Yuzhou reached out to pick up the monster rabbit who dared to play tricks in his grandma's arms, and threw it out.
Wen Tutu jumped up in the direction he threw it, the wind gently supported its body, and let it land lightly on the branch of a big tree with straight branches, and there was a circle of blue flowers on the top of the tree. Spirit fruit.
Suddenly, Wen Tutu squirted out the fruit in his mouth with a puff.
The spirit fruit bullet flew out and hit a bush not far away, only a hiss sounded, and then a gray rock python sprang out and rushed towards Wentutu.
Wen Tutu let out a threatening sound, jumped up suddenly, smashed towards the rock python like a ball of hair, at the same time lit up its paws and scratched at the rock python, grabbing the scales off the rock python's body .
The rock python hissed in pain, a pair of golden eyes stared at it coldly, and its thick tail patted it.
Wen Tutu avoided it nimbly, and the big tree hit by the tail of the snake broke immediately.
When Wen Tutu and the rock python were fighting together, Wen Qiao took out the scorching sun bow, bent the bow and set an arrow, and aimed at the rock python.
The arrow left the string, shooting away like a flame, dragging a breath of scorching sun in the air.
The rock python sensed danger, abruptly stopped attacking, and got into the bushes beside it.
The stone-golden arrow headed towards the rock python, broke through the barrier domineeringly, nailed the rock python's tail, and sank three points into the ground.
The rock python let out a cry of pain, its body twisted violently, Wen Tutu turned into a ball of hair again and smashed at it, breaking its snake bone abruptly.
The rock python lost its fighting power and lay on the ground sleepily, while Wentutu sat calmly on its head and continued to gnaw on the fruit.
Wen Qiao put away the blazing sun bow, and happily said to Ning Yuzhou: "Husband, the blazing sun bow works really well."
Ning Yuzhou also saw her make a move just now. The scorching sun bow is an earth-level spiritual weapon. The bow and arrow contain the power of the sun. It is fierce and powerful, and its power is like the sun. Can't escape the fate of being hurt by it.
In fact, Wen Qiao's strength is not enough to hurt this rock python, but because of Wen Tutu's move to hold the rock python, with the power of the sun from the scorching sun bow and arrows, the rock python was unluckily nailed by the scorching sun bow and arrow. on the ground.
Unexpectedly, there was an eighth-order rock python hidden here. Wen Qiao was worried that there was any danger around, so she asked Wen Tutu to check it out, and she stayed by Ning Yuzhou's side.
Wen Tutu patrolled the surroundings obediently, and ran back to tell her that there was no danger here except for this rock python.
As for why they didn't discover the existence of the rock python before, it's also simple, because the rock python was not here at the beginning, but felt someone coming here, and then slipped out of a cave, and Wen Tutu noticed it for the first time , direct attack.
Wen Qiao went to check the cave, and found that it was hidden behind dense vegetation, and only allowed a rock python as thick as an adult to slide, and he didn't know where it led.
After confirming that there was no danger, the two continued to check the situation in this space.
The two walked and watched, and found that although the spiritual plants here were lush, there were no spiritual herbs, but poisonous weeds everywhere, all of which were shade-loving poisonous plants, extremely poisonous.
Wen Qiao said: "Those bandits in the Heiyan Gorge must know this place, maybe the golden-bearded black-winged butterfly was found here. Husband, look here, there are traces left by the golden-bearded black-winged butterfly .”
Ning Yuzhou looked over and immediately understood what the traces she was talking about were.
The golden-bearded black-winged butterfly grows in rotten mud, and the more rotten the place, the more brilliant its flowers bloom.
Whenever it blooms, the golden whiskers around the petals will fall off automatically, turning into golden powder mixed with silt, and becoming the nutrients needed for the growth of the golden whiskered black-winged butterfly.
There is indeed a stasis pond here, and there are some golden powders that have been transformed into golden whiskers in the stasis pond.
"You're right." Ning Yuzhou said, "They should have dug up all the spiritual herbs here, so there are only some poisonous herbs left."
Wen Qiao curled her lips, thinking that the bandits in Heiyan Gorge really don't know how to recycle. After the spirit grass is dug up, it's good to leave some seedlings to grow here, so that they can continue to be used in the future.
