The glowing green moss rolled into a ball after being touched by Su Wen, and made a sound like a poisonous snake spitting a message at him.
And Su Wen even discovered that his hands were also green and glowing with fluorescence.
The green moss seemed to be trying to burrow into his flesh.
"Snapped!"
But a dense jade energy suddenly appeared in his palm, and the moss on his hand flew away.
"hiss!"
Moss rolled on the stone, trying to get close to Su Wen.
And Su Wen even saw that the surrounding stones and the fluorescent moss on the stone walls were curling up into balls and squirming towards his position.
"This thing is alive! It's not some moss!"
Su Wen finally understood.
After the scene just now, he also realized that this thing was dangerous.
"Don't get close!"
Su Wen immediately used the power of Confucian rhetoric.
The dumpling that was about to bounce paused for a moment, then slowly jumped up and landed on the ground a long way from Su Wen.
But Su Wen also felt slightly dizzy.
The extraordinary power consumes too much!
He was shocked! He originally thought that dealing with a "moss monster" wouldn't consume much power, but the reality made him realize that this thing was scarier than imagined.
Su Wen no longer spent extravagantly on extraordinary power and ran away directly.
"What is this stuff……"
Su Wen secretly wondered.
In an instant, a simple scroll of bamboo slips flashed in his mind, and the bamboo slips slowly unfolded.
"Evocation grass."
By being promoted to a historian's extraordinary person, you not only gain the corresponding extraordinary power, but also possess the corresponding sequence of mysterious knowledge.
The reason why extraordinary historians are precious is because their mysterious reserves of knowledge dominate the world.
Just like Su Wen, although he has never been to Guixu, the mysterious knowledge he gained during the promotion sequence gave him enough knowledge about this place.
Soul-calling grass is a common creature in Guixu. It has the forms of fungi, plants and animals.
After death, the dried soul-calling grass is one of the main formulas of the first secret medicine of the Yin-Yang family. It can also be used to prepare many special secret medicines, especially when the spirit and soul are damaged, and the curative effect is remarkable.
But the living soul-calling grass is a bit creepy. It can attach itself to living creatures and drain them out as nutrients. It is also toxic and can poison people, causing ulcers in the places it comes in contact with, and can cause hallucinations.
However, because the movement speed is slow and the risk of injury is relatively low, it can only pose a high threat to extraordinary beings below sequence three.
Considering that extraordinary beings below Sequence Three are not qualified to set foot in a place like Guixu, the person who recorded the Soul-Calling Grass even rated the Soul-Calling Grass as "harmless".
"...Am I the only one who has been unlucky in these thousands of years?"
Su Wen secretly cried bitterly in his heart: "What on earth is this Ying Tianchang so crazy about? You can't live with me like this!"
At this time, more knowledge about Guixu also emerged in Su Wen's mind.
He is indeed in the ruins.
Guixu is a large pit deep in Nanming, into which seawater flows continuously.
Unless encountering a once-in-a-hundred-year wave, most of the time the seawater cannot completely flatten the eye of the sea and form a large whirlpool on the sea surface. Instead, it forms a huge circular waterfall, with seawater pouring into the bottomless hole from all sides.
In the abyss.
The four walls of Guixu are not solid. There are countless caves that are connected to each other and occupy an unknown amount of space on the seabed.
This is where the "weirds" live. The deeper you go, the stronger the weirdness becomes. Places without powerful weirdos are often dominated by a large number of weird ethnic groups.
The duty of Wenling Hall is to guard the strange caves and passages leading to the Eye of the Sea.
On this basis, Wenling Palace sent extraordinary teams, and also recruited extraordinary people to go deep into the caves to hunt down the strange indigenous people, collect the unique minerals and extraordinary materials here, and sell them to various schools and dynasties at high prices. In fact, each university sect
There are fixed quotas, and although the prices are high, they are not outrageous.
Every year, the extraordinary materials that flow out of Wenling Palace and lead to the black market are almost sold for sky-high prices.
Even the same material that is commonly seen in Guixu can hire a sequence four transcendent on the black market to work as a coolie for Wenling Palace for ten or eight years.
"There are so many soul-calling grasses here... it's not a good sign..."
Soul-calling grass is expensive. If it is close to the defenders of Wenling Palace or places where extraordinary people often hang out, it will definitely be picked. How could it be seen by him?
Such a situation would only occur in places where there are few human traces.
"Actually... maybe it's not a bad thing."
After calming down, Su Wen realized that meeting people in such a dark place was not necessarily a good thing.
With the inheritance from historians, he roughly knows what kind of place Guixu is.
There is no human moral order here, and the strong are respected. After leaving the fortress of Wenling Palace, encountering humans here may be more dangerous than encountering indigenous people.
Killing and stealing goods is the basic behavior of extraordinary people. What's more serious is...the food here is extremely scarce, and extraordinary people who are hungry have no problem treating their own kind as food.
If it falls into the hands of an extraordinary person who is short of food, it will be difficult to die quickly.
Because this place is damp and dark, fresh food is not easy to preserve. Extraordinary people like to keep their prey well, cut the meat when eating, and then use their extraordinary power to help heal the wounds...
Su Wen shuddered. He thought it would be better to take a detour if he saw anyone.
…
Along the way, Su Wen still saw many fluorescent summoning grasses, and he also saw that where the summoning grasses were densely packed, there were many skeletons scattered, and even some complete skeletons were covered with green fluorescence. Looking at the skulls,
With the empty eye sockets and twisted and open mouth, Su Wen felt that the other party was mocking him mercilessly, as if to say, no matter what you look at, your fate will be the same as mine...
Su Wen still discovered that some of the skeletons were human, but most of them did not look like humans. They should be the skeletons of the Guixu indigenous people.
But this discovery did not make Su Wen feel happy, but instead made him more frightened.
Even the natives were killed by the attack of the soul-calling grass, so wouldn't it be more likely that he would be finished?
"wrong……"
After identifying seven or eight corpses, Su Wen discovered that there were wounds on these corpses, which were caused by chopping, stabbing, and chopping. There were also weapons on the ground. There were swords left by human beings' extraordinary beings, and also some by indigenous people.
Weird fish bone spear.
Seeing that the soul-calling grass in this area was not ready to chase him, Su Wen felt relieved and wanted to see if any forbidden substances or extraordinary materials were precipitated from the corpses of these extraordinary beings.
After some inspection, Su Wen was disappointed.
There were no traces of forbidden objects or extraordinary materials around the corpse, and after Su Wen inspected the surrounding weapons, he found no extraordinary properties and had basically corroded away.
He also found that there were many old footprints around the corpse, some of which looked like humans, some of which did not look like humans, and it seemed that the traces were all left a long time ago.
"It turns out that I have been patronized by others, more than once."
Su Wen shook his head and sighed. If the forbidden objects were separated from the corpse, the smell of the forbidden objects would definitely be emitted, attracting extraordinary beings. The corpse had been left here for who knows how long. Even if the forbidden objects were separated, it would be impossible for him to come and get it.
"Ahem...Old Wu, have you received the news?"
At this time, a mysterious voice came from the distance of the cave: "What the hell did Wenling Palace do this time to send such a senseless message?"
"...You mean that portrait?"
Old Wu said in confusion: "It was gone in the blink of an eye... If it weren't for my sharp eyes, I wouldn't have been able to see the other line. What kind of treasure could that kid have? Even the Wenling Palace announced such news...
Lao Zheng, I think there is a conspiracy here, and we must not let Wenling Palace lead us by the nose, otherwise it may turn into a trap!"
"You just know! If Wenling Palace hadn't tricked us, we two brothers wouldn't have been wandering around in this ghost place for so many years..."
Su Wen held his breath, hid behind a boulder, raised his ears, and listened carefully to the conversation between the two.
After the two chatted and complained for a while, they returned to the original topic.
Su Wen also heard clearly and understood what the two were discussing.
Wenling Palace sent a message to the extraordinary people who were exploring in Guixu. The message was a portrait of a young man in the portrait.
The portrait has only a very simple description, pointing out that the young man has a great treasure.
As for what the Chongbao is and the origin of the young man, there is no information about it.
This message only appeared for a very short time and was withdrawn by Wenling Palace, but no change instructions were issued.
Many extraordinary people smelled an unusual smell.
Wenling Palace is issuing a reward. They want to kill this young man, but they can't say it directly.
But after such news is released, there are naturally a lot of people in the depths of Guixu who are willing to do it for them.
Especially young people still have valuable treasures in their possession.
This important treasure... I think is the reward that Wenling Palace promised to those who do it. So Wenling Palace seems to have said nothing, but there is no shortage of information that should be revealed.
Old Wu was a little tempted, but... he and his companion Lao Zheng were very incompetent. In order to advance to the third rank, the two of them sold everything they had, and finally sold themselves to the Wenling Palace. Only then did they gather the last two materials. After being successfully promoted to the third rank, they were Wen Ling Palace.
The Lingdian sent him to serve here for ten years.
Eight years have passed now.
The biggest dream of the two of them now is to survive these two years, complete the contract signed with Wenling Palace and leave here.
In the past few years, while serving Wenling Palace, the two of them have collected some rare materials. Even if they have to pay a large tax to Wenling Palace before leaving, the remaining amount is enough for them to advance to the fourth sequence of secret medicine preparation.
Yes.
Therefore, the two of them were not very enthusiastic about this matter. Of course, they knew how much they weighed and had no confidence in grabbing the so-called valuable treasure.
Even if they grab it for a while, they won't be able to keep it. In the end, the valuable treasure will be with them, but it will become the cause of their death here.
"It's okay to just hang around..."
Lao Zheng sighed and said: "It is not a good thing for us to meet people who even Wenling Palace dare not deal with directly. They are big shots and can crush us to death with one finger. In these years, if we have not been kind to others, be kind and gentle,
, I have died so many times.”
"That's it...don't look at the young look in the portrait. I wonder which sect has the top five in sequence. If we run into each other, it would be nice if we don't get caught..."
The sound got closer and closer, and finally stopped in front of Su Wen.
Lao Wu suddenly stopped, stared at the footprints in front of him and said, "Hey, has anyone been here before?"
But Lao Zheng was more perceptive, so he went around behind the boulder, stared at Su Wen, and looked at each other. Finally, Lao Zheng broke the silence and timidly said: "You look... you look familiar?"
