Looking at the deep canyon ahead, Gu Yuan suspected that he was going the wrong way.
In this secret realm, everyone who comes in is teleported randomly.
Gu Yuan took out the map previously distributed by Elder Ma and just compared it. Gu Yuan suddenly became more confused. There were several marks on the map that Gu Yuan had already drawn.
According to the map, there should be an endless prairie in front of Gu Yuan's current position.
The cordyceps he planned to collect grew deep in the prairie according to the markings on the map.
Is it possible to go to the prairie and have to pass through this canyon?
But this canyon is a bit long...
Gu Yuan had a guess in his mind, put away the map, and set off to enter the canyon in front of him.
It is said to be a canyon here, but in fact it is more like a gap that opened after the mountain collapsed. Gu Yuan made a rough visual inspection and found that it was only a few meters wide at most.
The canyon is very narrow, and the sunlight barely reaches the bottom. Weeds half as tall as a man are everywhere, and snakes, insects, rats, and ants are everywhere.
Gu Yuang had just walked less than a few dozen meters when he had already kicked to death several venomous snakes that tried to attack him.
When they reached the depths of the canyon, the sunlight above their heads could no longer reach the bottom of the canyon. There was only darkness around them, and a rotten smell filled Gu Yuan's nose.
In Gu Yuan's ears, there were only dense rustling sounds.
Fortunately, he had already prepared a torch.
Lit the torch with a fire stick, and the orange fire instantly illuminates the dark world in front of you.
But the moment the fire light came on, Gu Yuan was shocked.
A swift black shadow flashed past his eyes at an extremely fast speed the moment the torch was lit, and once again disappeared into the darkness beyond the firelight.
This made Gu Yuan frown.
He felt that in the darkness, there was an unknown danger peering at him.
If the light of the torch hadn't lit up just now, maybe he would have encountered the black shadow.
Facing possible unknown dangers, Gu Yuan did not dare to be careless.
As the saying goes, it takes a thousand days to be a thief, but there is no such thing as a thousand days to guard against a thief.
Instead of always being on tenterhooks, it is better to nip the danger in the bud.
He closed his eyes slightly, preparing to sense the source of the peek.
The moment he closed his eyes, a fishy wind suddenly came over him.
Gu Yuan didn't hesitate and immediately rolled to the side.
Then he threw the torch in his hand towards the unknown creature that attacked him.
With the light of the torch, Gu Yuan finally saw the other party's true face.
This is a giant lizard over two meters long, with sharp horns on its head and fine black and purple scales all over its body.
A thick and big tail swings back and forth from time to time.
A pair of apricot-yellow eyes kept staring at Gu Yuan, and his long tongue poked out of his mouth from time to time.
Through the unextinguished torch, you can see the fine and sharp teeth in the big lizard's mouth. It is not known whether they are poisonous or not.
This big lizard had apparently regarded Gu Yuan who had entered the canyon as food, and was preparing to launch a sneak attack on Gu Yuan in the darkness.
It was only because Gu Yuan noticed it in time that he missed the attack and immediately hid on the mountain wall a few meters above Gu Yuan's head.
After finding out who was attacking in the dark, Gu Yuanxuan felt relieved.
Gu Yuan rolled over and picked up the fallen torch again.
With this thing in hand, he can see the surrounding environment more clearly, leaving a safe zone within the light range for Gu Yuan.
After getting the torch, Gu Yuan faced off with the big lizard on the mountain wall for a while.
I don't know whether the big lizard is afraid of the torch in Gu Yuan's hand or Gu Yuan himself. Anyway, the big lizard has always been lying on the mountain wall and has not moved an inch.
The big lizard could wait, but Gu Yuan himself couldn't bear it.
The torch in his hand was the only source of light at the bottom of the canyon. The overwhelming number of insects moved closer to the torch, making Gu Yuan extremely annoyed.
The big lizard wouldn't come down, so Gu Yuan simply went up by himself.
I saw him kicking his feet and running as fast as lightning.
Before the big lizard could react, he had already stepped on the stone wall of the canyon.
Using the stone wall and exerting more force, the whole person came to the big lizard in one fell swoop.
At this time, the big lizard finally came to his senses.
It suddenly turned around and swung its huge lizard tail towards Gu Yuan.
If he was hit, Gu Yuan would be thrown far away even if he was not seriously injured.
The big lizard never expected that Gu Yuan could barely reach it by taking advantage of the rough running and the roughness of the stone wall.
In fact, there is no way to make any more unnecessary movements, let alone launch an attack on the big lizard.
His purpose of approaching the big lizard was actually to wait for the big lizard to launch a counterattack.
As expected, the big lizard immediately fell into Gu Yuan's trap.
As soon as the big lizard's tail swung over, Gu Yuan kicked his foot and fell directly onto the big lizard's tail.
Before the big lizard could react, Gu Yuan had already tucked the big lizard's tail under his arm.
With such a heavy person like Gu Yuan hanging on its tail, how could the big lizard still be lying on the stone wall?
He could only let Gu Yuan pull its thick tail and fall directly from the stone wall.
All this happened in the blink of an eye.
The big lizard didn't react until it hit the ground and fell onto its back.
But Gu Yuan was already on guard, and at the moment when he and the big lizard were about to fall to the ground, he gave up on the big lizard's tail.
The whole person rolled over neatly, relieving himself of the force of the fall.
When the big lizard didn't react, Gu Yuan stepped forward again and kicked the big lizard hard on its soft belly.
This kick can be regarded as the pain that woke up the big lizard that was knocked unconscious.
I saw it turned over neatly, swung its limbs and big feet quickly on the ground, and rushed towards Gu Yuan with a mouth full of sharp teeth.
Gu Yuan didn't bother much with the big lizard. Seeing that the big lizard dared to counterattack, he turned over and landed firmly on the back of the big lizard that was charging towards him.
The big lizard felt that there was a person riding on its back, and immediately shook its body in discomfort, trying to shake Gu Yuan off its back.
Gu Yuan held the torch with one hand and clasped the scales on the back of the big lizard with the other hand. He clamped the sides of the big lizard tightly with his legs to avoid being thrown off by the big lizard.
Seeing that he couldn't knock Gu Yuan off his back, the big lizard also went crazy.
The four legs accelerated, carrying Gu Yuan directly and preparing to rush in the direction from which Gu Yuan came.
Gu Yuan was still willing to turn back, so he had to hold the big lizard's body between his feet, then hold the torch upside down with both hands, take a sharp breath, and directly insert the torch upside down into the big lizard's back.
