Standing seven or eight meters away from the poisonous miasma, Ye Tian closed his eyes and quietly felt the gas. After a while, Ye Tian opened his eyes and walked slowly inside.
The distance of seven to eight meters was only three to five steps, and soon Ye Tian's entire body was submerged in the gray mist.
At this time, Ye Tian's breathing had completely turned into inner breath, and the true energy around him was surging, as if there was an invisible shield that blocked out all the poisonous mist.
"No, I can stay like this for ten minutes at most. If I go further in and encounter that monster, I'm afraid I won't be its match!"
Although Ye Tian was bold, he would not take unnecessary risks. After realizing his own condition, his upper body did not move, but his feet moved back, and he returned to the mouth of the valley after seven or eight minutes.
"Ye Tian, are you okay?!"
Holding the Qijiu Microflush that Guo Zichen had dropped in his hand, Hu Hongde was looking into the valley. When he saw Ye Tian coming out, he hurriedly greeted him.
Ye Tian shook his head and said: "It's okay, Lao Hu, the poisonous miasma in this valley is probably caused by the spiritual creature!"
Ye Tian had heard from his master in his early years that in addition to humans, there are some creatures in this world that can develop spiritual intelligence through certain encounters. Such animals are called spiritual creatures.
It's just that these psychic animals only have the intelligence of a few years of human beings at best. With their innate sensing ability, they can detect dangers in the outside world, so they usually hide in the mountains and rivers, unknown to the world.
Li Shanyuan traveled all over the country throughout his life, almost visiting the entire country, but he had never seen the existence of spiritual beings. He only learned about them from his own master.
Therefore, even Li Shanyuan was not sure whether there were spiritual beings in the world. At that time, it was just told as a story. Ye Tiannahui was still young, so he also listened to it as a story.
But just now after hearing Hu Hongde's story about the monster, Ye Tian tested the poisonous miasma himself. He could almost conclude that the creature hidden in the valley was a highly intelligent creature, if not a spiritual creature.
The poisonous miasma contains spiritual energy, which cannot be formed naturally. Legend has it that biological cultivation needs to breathe in the spiritual energy of the sun and the moon. Maybe the miasma in the entire valley is caused by its breathing and breathing.
"You said that the poisonous miasma all over the mountain was vomited out by the monster? Didn't it become a spirit?" However, Hu Hongde found it difficult to accept Ye Tian's words, and his eyes almost popped out.
He had killed countless jackals, tigers and leopards in his life, but he had never seen any mountain spirits or ghosts, so he shook his head repeatedly, obviously not believing Ye Tian's words.
"Lao Hu, there may not be spirits in this world!"
Before this, Ye Tian didn't believe in those things, but he raised a ferret with a common surname. This time he came to Changbai Mountain, he even saw Meng Xiazi's weird magic method of inviting gods.
Even with the bronze drum hanging on his waist, Ye Tian couldn't figure it out. All of this was changing Ye Tian's understanding of the world.
According to Ye Tian's thinking at this time, the shamanism's theory that all things are animistic is not nonsense, it's just that they cannot evolve to the level of humans.
"Come on, Ye Tian, don't think so much. Let's sleep here and go back early tomorrow!"
Hu Hongde glanced at the valley with some fear and said, "Why don't we put out the bonfire? Let's go outside the old forest and light a new fire?"
Originally, it was the safest place to sleep in the heart of the mountain, but Hu Hongde was a little afraid that when he came out tomorrow, the monster would block the cave entrance, and he would not be able to escape even if he wanted to.
"It's okay, Lao Hu, just go to sleep and I'll keep an eye on you!"
Ye Tian shook his head. Meditating for him was like sleeping. He could replenish the energy he had consumed throughout the day in just one or two hours. Moreover, any disturbance outside his body could not be hidden from his eyes and ears.
"Okay, I'll go to sleep first, and you can call me in the middle of the night!"
Today, after a day's driving on the mountain road, and a fight with Meng Xiazi in the evening, and some injuries to his back, Hu Hongde's physical and mental strength has reached the limit, and he will really not be able to hold on if he doesn't rest.
He was also someone who could hold things up and put them down. Not long after he lay down, he began to snore. Ye Tian added some dry firewood to the bonfire and sat quietly next to Hu Hongde.
Ye Tian did not wake up Hu Hongde that night. It was not until the morning star rose and a ray of light shone on the horizon that Hu Hongde woke up on his own. At this time, he was already standing by the forest and practicing.
When the sun rose from the distant mountain top, Ye Tian opened his mouth and swallowed, and a touch of "purple air from the east" was inhaled into his mouth. After this air entered his throat, Ye Tian's chest and abdomen felt like there was a mouse.
It's like a drill, constantly agitating and moving around.
He spat it out in one breath, like a white horse, and rushed straight out of Ye Tian's mouth more than ten meters away without breaking up. Hu Hongde who was watching on the side was dumbfounded. Only then did he realize the real gap between himself and Ye Tian.
"Ye Tian, you...how did you develop this Kung Fu?" Seeing Ye Tian's methods, Hu Hongde really felt that his life had been in vain these past few decades.
After hearing what Hu Hongde said, Ye Tian smiled and said: "Old Hu, I practice Taoist Kung Fu. You can't learn it, so you don't have to envy me.
Later, I will use these old ginseng to prepare some elixirs. After you take them, you can practice the knowledge of nourishing qi. When the time comes, there is absolutely no problem in living a hundred years, not to mention longevity."
"Oh, if I had known, I would have learned the techniques passed down from my family." Hu Hongde was annoyed. In his opinion, Ye Tian's abilities were all the result of practicing techniques.
"Each school's inheritance is different. It is not a Taoist inheritance. It is useless to cultivate one's life without cultivating one's heart!" Ye Tian shook his head, and suddenly felt something in his heart. He quickly turned back to look into the valley, and was stunned.
"What's wrong, Ye Tian?" Hu Hongde saw Ye Tian suddenly stop talking, and followed Ye Tian's eyes, but he couldn't get out the words halfway through.
There is naturally no fog in Changbai Mountain in winter. From where they stand, they can clearly see every plant and tree in the valley. However, when they reach the place where the poisonous miasma is shrouded, they cannot see what's going on inside.
But at this moment, the miasma in the valley was reducing at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if there was an exhaust fan in the middle, sucking all the mist away.
However, after just three or four minutes, the fog that originally shrouded the center of the entire valley disappeared completely. The steep mountain walls on both sides and the deep pool of water in the valley were all displayed in front of Ye Tian and Hu Hongde.
"It is indeed a spiritual creature, Old Hu, wait for me here!" Ye Tian left a sentence, and his body shot away into the valley like an arrow from a string.
The water pool in the middle of the valley and the mouth of the valley are hundreds of meters apart. With Hu Hongde's eyesight, it was impossible to see clearly what happened just now.
But Ye Tian was different. He vaguely saw a snake-like monster sticking out of the water, and the mist was absorbed into its mouth.
This is exactly the same as the legend of the mountain spirit swallowing the essence of the sun and moon. Ye Tian no longer cares about being afraid at this time. He wants to find out what this monster is? Does it really have intelligence?
Ye Tian's speed was extremely fast, and he was pulled in by him from a distance of hundreds of meters in an instant. After the monster in the pool inhaled the last trace of poisonous miasma, Ye Tian's figure had already arrived more than ten meters away from the pool.
"Quack!"
Seemingly sensing the blood on Ye Tian's body, the monster in the pool did not attack Ye Tian as in the legend. Instead, it made a baby-like cry from its mouth, as if to warn Ye Tian.
After restraining the murderous aura in his body, but surging his energy and blood, Ye Tian said, "I have no ill intentions. You and I are of the same kind. Can you show up?"
The water was as dark as ink. Except for the head that looked like a snake but had a protrusion on top of its head, Ye Tian could not see anything under the water.
"Quack...quack!"
As if sensing the pure spiritual energy from Ye Tian, the head in the pool actually nodded towards Ye Tian. Then the water in the pool rolled and a huge body swam to the shore.
"Holy crap, is this...is this really a dragon? Does this kind of existence really exist in the world?" Seeing the complete picture of the monster in the pool, Ye Tian's face was filled with shock, and he almost lost his mind.
The big guy who appeared in front of Ye Tian had the same shape as a snake, about seven or eight meters in length, and the thickest part was like a bucket.
There are white patterns on its neck, and there are black patterns on its back. Its chest is ocher, and its whole body glows with colorful colors like brocade in the morning light.
These are not enough to surprise Ye Tian. The most peculiar thing is that three meters away from the head of this creature, there is a pair of claws, each claw has three toes. Perhaps because it lives in water, there are webs between the three toes.
There are also hard flesh thorns on the tip of this creature's tail, and there are protrusions of flesh crossing between the eyes on the eyebrows, which are exactly the same as the legendary dragon.
"Quack!"
Just when Ye Tian was stunned, the dragon suddenly made a sharp sound from its mouth. Ye Tian turned around and saw that it was Hu Hongde who was running towards here with Qijiu Micro Charge.
Seeing the restless look of the dragon four or five meters in front of him, Ye Tian shouted loudly: "Old Hu, go back, go back quickly!"
It wasn't until Hu Hongde exited the valley that the dragon calmed down and looked back and forth at Ye Tian with a pair of eyes as big as a lightbulb, as if he was curious about why this "partner" who had the same aura as him had such a strange shape.
Seeing that the dragon seemed not to attack him, Ye Tian felt relieved and said, "Can you understand what I'm saying?"
"Quack!" The big guy called back to Ye Tian, tapping the huge dragon head several times, opening his mouth, and a fishy smell suddenly filled the tip of Ye Tian's nose.
