The old Miao people who acted as guides took Qin Yun gradually deep into the vast mountains...
Despite his age, he is extremely nimble and agile. He can turn over mountains and cross hills as if he were walking on flat ground. Coupled with his familiarity with the surrounding environment, Qin Yun needs to use Qinggong and Qinggong to avoid being left behind.
What's even more rare is that the old Miao people can always rely on experience to avoid areas in the mountains where monsters and spiritual beasts are entrenched, and find trails in the deep mountains and forests that are difficult to find at all.
Walking day and night, by the morning of the next day, the two of them arrived at the edge of the swamp.
To the southwest of Shiwanda Mountain is the vast swamp area. There are countless rivers and lakes here. Many rare and exotic animals live in the depths of the swamp. It is regarded as one of the dangerous places in the vast continent.
Part of the great swamp goes deep into the Shiwan Mountains. The blending of mountains and rivers creates a special environment. The open area presented to Qin Yun is obscured by clouds and fog all year round, making it difficult for people to see through. Only by entering it can you understand something.
.
"Master Qin, I can only send you here..."
The old Miao citizen pointed to the foggy Daze ahead and said, "It's very dangerous to go forward. You must be careful!"
He was very sentimental: "In the past, many young people from the tribe never came back after entering."
Although the words were not very auspicious, Qin Yun also knew that the other party was admonishing him tactfully. He smiled slightly and said: "Thank you for your help, husband. Please wait for me here for two days. If I don't come out in two days..."
"Then go back by yourself!"
Now that he's here, no matter what dangers lie ahead, Qin Yun will never back down!
After waving goodbye to the old Miao people, Qin Yun entered the Everglades alone, looking for the legendary Wanzai Kongqing.
The lush aquatic plants are submerged to the knees, and the winding rivers and waterways cut the land into countless pieces. Looking around, you can see patches of banyan trees scattered among the rivers and lakes, and water birds and egrets fly up and down from time to time.
The scenery of the Everglades is very beautiful, even in the middle of winter. There is not much chill here, and the green grass spreads to the end of the sight, and finally disappears into the vast mist.
Qin Yun took out the notes hidden in his arms and read them carefully from beginning to end.
This note was recorded by a sword cultivator named Qiu Beard Ke a hundred years ago. He once went deep into the swamp in order to hunt down the high-level monster swamp lizard crocodile. As a result, he accidentally discovered a thousand-year-old agarwood at the bottom of a small lake.
Mu. A bluestone that has been empty for thousands of years was dug out from the heart of the tree.
The total content of the book is only one or two thousand words. This bearded man is definitely extremely powerful. He often describes the battles with monsters in one sentence. He doesn't seem to care much, but he has the location of the small lake and the surroundings.
The environmental characteristics and so on are described in great detail.
The Ten Thousand Years Sky Bluestone is a heavenly treasure with both water and wood attributes. The conditions for its formation are extremely harsh. It is definitely a rare treasure that can only be found but cannot be found. At the end of the note, the bearded guest mentioned that there are other agarwood trees in the small lake.
But because the situation was critical at that time, he only collected the heart of the agarwood tree.
Without these predecessors' notes, Qin Yun might not have much confidence that he would be able to find the Ten Thousand Years Sky Bluestone in the vast swamp. With clear tips and guidance, even if a hundred years have passed, there will always be something to explore.
Leave clues behind.
Taking out a pathfinder, he headed towards the depths of the swamp.
The huge water network swamp is like a huge maze. Coupled with the ubiquitous fog, people who enter it can easily lose their way and never find their way back.
However, Qin Yun had the path-finding talisman in hand, so he didn't need to worry about losing his way. When he used Qing Kung Fu to pass over the water plants, all the fog miasma blocking the front would separate on its own. He couldn't get within half a foot of him at all.
The black clam bead bracelet that Miao Haishan gave to Qin Yun turned out to be very good.
Exploring all the way forward, Qin Yun tried his best to scan the surrounding mountains and rivers, trying to connect the scenes he saw with the content recorded in his notes...
But his luck was obviously not that good. After searching for nearly two hours, he found nothing. Instead, he killed more than a dozen eyeless swamp beasts.
Although the great swamp looks peaceful and beautiful on the surface, there are all kinds of monsters and beasts lurking in the muddy rivers. They are very good at camouflaging and lurking. Once prey approaches, they will explode and attack, making it difficult to guard against.
Of course, it is simply impossible for low-level monsters to plot against Qin Yun. When he activates his wisdom mind, any movement within dozens of feet around him cannot escape his observation.
Winter dusk always comes very quickly. Seeing the sky gradually getting dark, Qin Yun, who had found nothing, stopped at a nearby oasis.
The so-called oasis is actually a forest of banyan trees, with a towering giant tree as the core. After hundreds of thousands of years of reproduction, the dense forest formed, the largest circle can be several miles, and the smallest one can be hundreds of feet wide.
The land on the Banyan Oasis is relatively solid, probably because it is densely covered with vine roots. It will never sink when you step on it. It is undoubtedly the best camping site in this large swamp.
However, threats are everywhere.
Hiss! Hiss!
When Qin Yun had just stepped onto the oasis, a demon snake entrenched in the woods suddenly sprang out. It stopped twenty steps away from Qin Yun, raised its flat head high, and raised its flat head.
The open colorful flesh wings vibrated rapidly, making a tooth-breaking hissing sound.
It stared at Qin Yun, its pair of protruding snake eyes flashing with a strange light, like warning or anger.
There is no doubt that this demon snake regards this oasis as its own territory and will never welcome Qin Yun, the intruder. Perhaps it realized that Qin Yun might not be easy to mess with, so it did not launch an attack immediately.
It's just that it's a fool's errand to scare Qin Yun away. It has killed many monsters. Qin Yun also knows a lot of techniques to distinguish the strength level of monsters. He can easily see that this monster snake is just a low-level one.
level.
There were dozens of such monsters, and Qin Yun could easily kill them.
Qin Yun raised the long sword in his hand and thought about making snake soup for dinner!
Gua!
Unexpectedly, before he took action, a ball of golden light suddenly flew out from the nearby bushes, flew to the side of the demon snake like lightning, and actually swallowed it in one gulp!
The guy who stole Qin Yun's dinner was a huge toad, with a fat body, strong claws and bulging eyes as big as fists. The rough skin was covered with golden spots.
The toad still had the demonic snake in its big mouth.
The demon snake did not die immediately. The exposed tail was waving and twitching desperately, hitting the giant toad's head with a bang bang sound, but it did not hurt the opponent at all!
The giant toad's fat neck squirmed a few times and swallowed the remaining snake tail in two mouthfuls.
This guy was at least a mid-level monster, and Qin Yun suddenly became wary.
However, the giant toad that swallowed a demon snake didn't seem to be interested in Qin Yun at all. It slowly moved its heavy body and moved to the river beside the oasis under Qin Yun's gaze. It quickly sank into the water and disappeared.
not see.
If it was not necessary, Qin Yun did not want to waste his fighting power on this seemingly inedible guy. It was undoubtedly a good thing for both sides to avoid each other peacefully. He carefully searched the oasis, and after confirming that there was no danger, he found a relatively clean open space.
A bonfire was set up.
After breaking through the realm of the third innate heaven, Qin Yun's universe space has expanded a lot. The originally crowded space has more space to accommodate miscellaneous items, so there is a lot of monster meat hunted in it.
Use a hunting knife to chop down vine branches and set up a bonfire. The snow-white monster meat is quickly roasted until it becomes golden. Sprinkle some fine salt and seasonings on it, and a fragrant barbecue dinner is ready.
While drinking the aged wine Yan Qing gave him and eating the tender barbecue, Qin Yun didn't have much appetite.
If he was still three to four percent confident about whether he could find the Wan Zai Kong Bluestone when he was in Lingyang City, then now he probably doesn't have even one percent of confidence, so he feels particularly heavy.
He hadn't entered the Great Swamp himself, so he didn't know how vast the swamp was. Even with the guidance of his notes, how likely was he to find the small lake deep in the swamp in just two days?
You must know that there are countless pools, rivers, and lakes in the Everglades.
If he cannot find the Wanzai Kong Bluestone, how can Qin Yun have the face to return to Lingyang, and what can he rely on to stop thousands of Chu troops? If Lingyang falls and the people suffer, he will not be able to face his master Shui.
Wan Ning.
Thinking of various possibilities, Qin Yun couldn't help but waver despite his perseverance.
He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, took out the Qiu Bearded Guest's notes and read them carefully, not missing every word, trying to find more clues in them.
The night was deep, and the roars of wild beasts could be heard in the distance. Due to the cover of the swamp clouds and mist, you could not see the stars and the moon when you looked up. Only the darkness that was so thick that it could not be broken filled the sky and the earth.
However, it's not that you can't see anything in the swamp. There are many fireflies flying among the grass, trees and vines in the water and land. They emit a little bit of light and draw faint light and shadow trails, which also has another kind of beauty.
Ouch!~
The howling of wild beasts in the distance seemed to be getting closer and closer, awakening Qin Yun from his trance, who was deep in thought.
He frowned, put away the notes and stuffed them back into his arms, and gripped the Tianwen Sword again.
This magical weapon suddenly glowed with red gold, and the tip of the sword trembled gently, as if it was eager for battle.
The night in the Everglades is more dangerous than the day, and no amount of caution can be exaggerated here.
At this time, Qin Yun felt a dangerous aura, heard a low roar and rapid breathing in his ears, and was rapidly approaching in his direction! (To be continued.,.)
