Tang Yin smiled, waved his hand and said, "No need."
"Hey? Young man, please take some more, otherwise we will be embarrassed to accept so much gold from you." The two hunters handed the straw basket to Tang Yin. No matter how much the latter delayed, they still asked him to pick more.
Tang Yin had no choice but to take out a few more ginsengs, shake the soil on them slightly, then put them directly into his mouth and chew them.
The freshly dug ginseng was bitter yet sweet, sweet yet bitter, and not very tasty. However, Tang Yin could get used to this taste. He was never picky about food, let alone when he was hungry.
After receiving so much gold from Tang Yin, the two hunters kindly advised him again not to go into the mountains, but Tang Yin didn't take it seriously. Seeing his disapproval, the two hunters could only sigh heavily, feeling in their hearts.
I prayed silently, hoping that nothing would happen to him.
The rest was almost over, and the two hunters said goodbye to Tang Yin. They had made so much gold in the mountains this time, and the two hunters were satisfied. They did not plan to collect more, and wanted to go out of the mountains and go home.
Tang Yin watched the two of them leave with a smile, leaving two of the ginseng he bought and eating the rest. Then he stood up, rubbed his hands, stretched his muscles, and began to climb quickly to the top of the mountain.
He has strong skills and does not need the assistance of equipment. His body is like a monkey, sometimes crawling and sometimes jumping, and he quickly reaches the top of the bench.
When he arrived at the top of the mountain, there were many strange rocks and overgrown weeds. Unintentionally, Tang Yin found writing on a huge stone, which read, "Yun Zhongzi arrived late for a tour."
The soldiers rowed up. After looking at it, he shook his head and smiled. It seemed that explorers had already visited this place. Like modern people, people in this era seemed to be accustomed to leaving evidence in the places they passed.
He curled his lips and walked to the other side of the mountain. According to the two hunters, the foot of the mountain here is the center of Wanshou Mountain. He stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down. Surrounded by mist, he couldn't see at all.
When he reached the bottom of the mountain, he picked up a big stone and threw it far away.
As the boulder fell, he counted silently in his mind, one, two, three, four... When he counted to ten, he vaguely heard an echo from the bottom of the mountain.
It took ten seconds for such a big stone to hit the ground. A little calculation shows that it must be hundreds of meters deep below, which is much deeper than the other side. From this, it can be seen that the center of Wanshou Mountain is also a block of stone.
It is a low-lying valley, and it is also a very deep valley.
If an ordinary person saw such a deep valley alone, he would definitely not dare to go down, but Tang Yin didn't care. He exuded spiritual energy and covered his palms with spiritual armor, so that he could hold on more firmly when he went down. Then, he
The shape swayed and climbed rapidly from the top of the mountain to the valley.
This side of the mountain is indeed much deeper than the other side, and the further you climb down, the less light there is. The sky is blocked by the surrounding mountains. Fortunately, Tang Yin is a dark spiritual cultivator, so his sight is not a problem. He climbed halfway down.
At this time, the humidity increased, and the rocks were covered with moss, which was wet and slippery. At this time, the spiritual armor on Tang Yin's palms came into play. His fingers were like iron hooks, tightly clasping the cliff to support his body.
Slipped midway.
Even Tang Yin spent a lot of effort to get from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley.
This valley is much larger than Tang Yin expected. The entrance at the top is narrow, but the bottom is very open, and the overall shape is gourd-shaped. However, the light is too dark. If Tang Yin is not a dark spiritual cultivator, it will be difficult for him to see at the bottom of the valley.
things.
Perhaps because of the lack of sunlight all year round, many of the plants growing here were things that Tang Yin had never seen or heard of before. It even gave him the illusion that he was in another world, and everything seemed so novel.
He slowly explored forward. There was no grass on the ground, but it was covered with huge mushrooms. Some mushrooms were even as big as an adult's palms. Tang Yin had never seen such a big mushroom before, and he couldn't help but walk to a giant mushroom.
Come closer, break off a piece and want to taste what it tastes like.
But the moment he broke off the mushroom, a dense mass of black beetles suddenly emerged from the fracture, and crawled onto his palm. Tang Yin reacted very quickly, immediately emitting spiritual energy and covering his body with spiritual armor.
, and at the same time, those black beetles crawled along his palms and feet all over his body, biting crazily.
When the beetle gnaws at the spiritual armor, it makes a squeaking, subtle and harsh friction sound.
What kind of weird bug is this?! Tang Yin shook off a bug on his palm, and then turned back to protect his eyes. While muttering in his heart, the fire of darkness arose, and he heard a roar, and his whole body was covered in darkness.
Covered in fire, with a hissing sound, the beetles that climbed onto him instantly turned into spiritual mist.
The beetles were tiny, numbering in the thousands, but the aura they turned into was very thick. They floated in the air and condensed into a ball. Tang Yin looked up. As he breathed, the aura slowly entered his body. He closed his eyes and thought about it. After a while, he realized
He murmured two words: "Pure!"
The aura of these beetles is not only purer than that of wild beasts, but even purer than that of humans, as if they were grown by sucking the essence of heaven and earth.
He never thought that these disgusting bugs would have such pure aura. Tang Yin was overjoyed and smashed the mushroom that he had broken off into pieces. After a while, more beetles came out. Although there were many beetles, they couldn't crawl to Tang Yin.
The body was like a moth rushing to the flame, never to return. Not long after, the beetle crawling out of the giant mushroom was burned to death by the fire of darkness.
Tang Yin let out a long breath and looked around. There were giant mushrooms everywhere at the bottom of the valley. There were countless black beetles. If he sucked them all, he estimated that his cultivation would be directly promoted from the Spiritual Yuan realm to the Spiritual Heaven realm.
Thinking of this, he grinned. As the saying goes, he entered the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain just to practice the fire of darkness, but he didn't expect to encounter such a treasure land for improving his cultivation.
It is good to be able to practice the fire of darkness to the point where the soul is burning, but it would be even better if the cultivation level is raised to the realm of spiritual heaven.
Tang Yin couldn't restrain the joy in his heart, and immediately went to break open another giant mushroom next to him. But after breaking it open, he could only see the white flesh of the mushroom, but not a beetle. Tang Yin was unwilling to accept it, and even got his hands and feet on it.
, I trampled the mushrooms to pieces and didn’t see any trace of the beetle.
"Damn it, what's going on?" Tang Yin's heart was full of joy and he was filled with disappointment in an instant. Could it be that there were so many mushrooms in the entire valley, and only that one had a beetle in it? He happened to catch up with that one.
Only? How can there be such a coincidence in the world?
He was unwilling to give in and didn't believe that he would be so lucky. He simply took out his machete and with a wave of his hand, cut off several mushrooms at once. But like the mushroom just now, there was still no beetle inside. When he walked out again
After several meters, he cut off more than 20 mushrooms in a row, and finally saw a large number of beetles emerging from the mushrooms. This time, he was very careful, trying not to let the beetles escape, and sucked them all with the fire of darkness.
After trying a few more times, Tang Yin discovered that there were not beetles in every mushroom, but that the beetles seemed to regard the mushrooms as their own nests, gnawing away the meat inside and living in them. There were only beetles in each mushroom group.
One or two of the mushrooms were inhabited by beetles.
So that's it! He smiled bitterly and shook his head. Although the aura of beetles was pure, the number was relatively small. He didn't have much time to check which mushrooms had beetles and which ones didn't.
He did not dare to dissipate his spiritual armor. Instead, he closed his swords, transformed his spirit into a sickle, and continued deeper into the valley. In this unknown valley, crises were everywhere, and he did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
There are many plants and animals in the valley, and they are all animals that Tang Yin has never seen before.
These animals are not large in size. Some are similar to lizards. Their scales are covered with barbs and they run very fast. Some are soft-bodied and have no bones. They wriggle on the ground like large maggots and have sticky bodies.
It was thick and full of venom. As soon as Tang Yin came closer, the maggots sprayed out venom like him, splashing on the spiritual armor, hissing and corroding it into green smoke.
It sprayed poisonous water on Tang Yin, and Tang Yin responded with dark fire.
The animals in the valley have one thing in common, that is, no matter how weird and disgusting their appearance is, the spiritual energy they turn into after being burned by the fire of darkness is very pure, and Tang Yin can benefit a lot from inhaling it.
If he didn't know how to use the dark fire, if he didn't cover his body with dark fire, then he would have died when he came into contact with those beetles.
Although spiritual cultivators can use spiritual armor to protect their bodies, they cannot protect their eyes. When beetles crawl all over their bodies, even if they can protect their eyes with their hands, the beetles can slowly remove the spiritual armor on them bit by bit.
If you eat it, you will end up with no bones left.
Tang Yin regards the creatures in the valley as treasures to enhance his own cultivation, while for others, these things are all deadly demons.
He walked for a long time and reached the center of the valley. This was the only place where there would be some sunshine at noon. However, there was no grass growing here and the ground was bare. Looking towards the center, there was only a black hole more than three meters wide on the ground.
It was pitch black and bottomless.
There are actually bottomless caves within the bottomless valley, which makes people marvel at the wonder of the Creator.
Tang Yin walked slowly to the edge of the cave and looked inside. He saw nothing, but there was a faint yin energy coming towards him.
He was already brave enough, but at this moment he still couldn't help but shiver secretly, and subconsciously took a step back.
His reason told him not to go in, but his strong curiosity couldn't help but want to go in and find out.
After thinking about it, he made up his mind and decided to go in and take a look.
Now that I'm here, if I don't find out clearly, I'm afraid I will regret it for the rest of my life.
Since he didn't bring a rope, Tang Yin had to climb down bit by bit. He disassembled the sickle and turned it into two spiritual knives. Then he inserted the scimitar into the stone wall of the cave, using it as a support, and climbed down bit by bit.
