Chapter 568: Exploring the Giant Waterfall at Night
"Haha, how can there be any natural treasures? Those people turned that area upside down and even went deep into the water pool under the spiritual waterfall to search for several days. They just barely moved every stone in the water pool ashore.
But in the end, I couldn't find any treasures, so I just let it go." Duanmu Guang spread his hands and said.
"That's it." Shi Mu felt a little more at ease and said.
"What? Junior Brother Shi is interested in that spiritual waterfall? Let me tell you, the location there is remote and the nearby spiritual energy resources are only average. It is not a good place to open up. If nothing else, the monster beast alone is enough.
You are very busy." Duanmu Guang asked.
"Junior brother arrived here for the first time and thought that he could not compete with other brothers, so he had no choice but to find some spiritual waterfalls that no one cared about and open them up." Shi Mu smiled and explained.
"Haha, this might not be a bad choice." Duan Muguang said.
The two chatted casually for a few more words, and Duanmu Guang paid one hundred top-quality spiritual stones and left with the Wu Yuan Ginseng.
"Thank you so much, shopkeeper." Shi Mu glanced at Duanmu Guang's retreating back and said to the fat shopkeeper with a smile.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. This black ginseng originally belonged to Taoist Master Shi, and the shop just sells it on consignment." The fat shopkeeper quickly waved his hand and said.
"I didn't expect that this black ginseng tree was only sold today after it was kept in storage." Shi Mu said.
"It's just that the sale of one hundred top-quality spiritual stones was a bit of a loss," the fat shopkeeper said.
"It doesn't matter, I made this bet, so the shopkeeper doesn't need to worry about it," Shi Mu said with a smile.
Speaking of this, thanks to Cai'er, Wuyuan Shen is quite special, and ordinary spiritual consciousness cannot penetrate it at all. However, under Cai'er's spiritual vision, the internal structure can be seen at a glance. After a self-defeating decision,
Had a chance encounter today.
After getting the information he needed, Shi Mu didn't stay long. He left some medicinal materials for consignment, chatted with the shopkeeper for a few words, and then left.
After returning to the mansion, Shi Mu did not immediately leave for the spiritual waterfall where the White Ape Ancestor's treasure was located. Instead, he went straight back to a secret room in the cave and sat down quietly to regulate his breathing.
It wasn't until the sky completely darkened and a full moon hung on the treetops that he opened his eyes and strode out of the mansion. As soon as the fire on his body appeared, it turned into a red ray of light and rushed towards that remote place.
About half an hour later, the firelight on Shi Mu's body gradually faded away, and he slowly descended from the mid-air and landed in a primitive forest.
Shi Mu walked through the forest for dozens of miles when he suddenly felt a faint vibration on the ground, and a "rumbling" sound came to his ears.
He walked forward for more than ten miles, only to feel a sudden light in front of his eyes, and then walked out of the forest and came to a cliff.
What he saw before him was a steep valley, in which hung a huge waterfall over a hundred feet high.
I saw that the water above the waterfall was turbulent and rapid, just like the Milky Way in the Nine Heavens, flying out from the top of the rock, and like a hundred-foot-long plain-colored horse hanging down from the top of the rock.
It landed on dozens of protruding rocks on the rock wall. Under the reflection of the moonlight, it looked like a large splash of water, as if there were thousands of silver koi carps jumping up and down, and it seemed that there were thousands of dendrobiums inside.
The crystal clear pearls are flying in the sky.
Shi Mu looked at this beautiful scenery and couldn't help but secretly praise it.
After a pause, he took a step forward, and then his body fell straight down the cliff like a falling stone.
After falling less than ten feet, Shi Mu's figure suddenly stopped and landed steadily on a flat stone platform.
The stone platform he is standing on is very peculiar. It is a protruding rock halfway up the mountain on the right side of the waterfall. The location is very special.
Because its color matches the surrounding rocks, no matter whether you stand under the waterfall or above the valley and look towards the platform, you can only see the mountain wall as a whole, and you cannot see the platform at all.
If Shi Mu hadn't gotten the hint from the Sky-Flirting Stick, it would have been difficult for him to find this place.
He looked down from the stone platform and saw thousands of torrents hanging down from the waterfall, rushing into the deep pool, making a sound like a drum, and forming a deep green pool at the bottom of the valley.
Shi Mu looked down for a while, then raised his head and looked at the deep night sky.
On the pitch-black sky, dots of light were dotted all over the sky, and a bright moon like a jade plate was hanging high in the sky, emitting a cold brilliance.
Shi Mu calculated silently in his mind for a while, then curled his lips and suddenly showed a smile.
He put his fingers together, made a hand gesture, and silently recited a mysterious mantra.
As he chanted, a seemingly ordinary pebble at the bottom of the deep green pool suddenly lit up with a bright white light under the reflection of the moonlight.
I saw that ray of light coming out of the water, like a beam of light, refracting into the waterfall.
Shi Mu's eyes followed the light and he saw the center of the waterfall. Under the illumination of the white light, the hanging water curtain automatically separated from the center, revealing a large black hole about ten feet high.
Inside the big hole, there was faint light transmitting through it.
Shi Mu's heart moved, he stepped a little, and his figure suddenly shot out from the platform and flew straight into the big black hole.
As soon as he stepped into the cave entrance, he heard the "rumbling" sound of rocks rubbing together behind him.
He looked back and saw a black stone door slowly falling, covering the entrance of the cave again.
Shi Mu didn't pay much attention to this. He glanced in front of him and realized that he was in a huge cave in the middle of the mountain.
Dozens of huge blue copper basins were suspended under the cave's dome, and blazing white flames were burning in the copper basins, illuminating most of the cave's space like daylight.
Shi Mu took a long stride and walked towards the cave.
At this moment, his ears twitched, and he heard a slight strange sound coming from behind him. He subconsciously turned to one side and looked back suddenly.
I saw a tiger-like monster suddenly burst out from the gap in the stone door that was about to close, and rushed straight towards me.
Because Shi Mu was on guard and turned his body, the monster suddenly missed him and pounced from his shoulder.
The monster was half-crouching on the ground, lowered its body, and roared lowly at Shi Mu.
Only then did Shi Mu see its true face. It was actually a red monster with a head like a dragon, a body like a deer, four legs like a tiger, a long tail like an ox, and the whole body was covered with fish scales.
But his eyes were golden-red in color, containing divine light, and he was surrounded by several clouds, which made him look quite extraordinary.
The monster roared for a while, then kicked off its feet and pounced forward again.
Shi Mu's eyes flashed with golden light, his hand lit up with a golden light, he clenched his fist and waved it boldly, and a huge golden fist shadow hit the monster head-on.
Seeing this, the red demonic beast did not avoid it. As soon as divine light appeared in its eyes, two golden-red electric lights suddenly shot towards the golden fist shadow.
There was a loud "boom"!
The two golden-red electric lights and golden fist shadows dispersed at the same time, and the sound of explosions echoed continuously in the cave, making Shi Mu's ears buzz.
"Tsk"
At this moment, there was another strange noise behind Shi Mu, and another identical red demonic beast appeared from behind him, opened its mouth and spit out a golden-red electric light towards him.
Shi Mu moved his feet, took two steps to the side, opened his mouth and spat out, and the Ruyi iron rod flew out and lengthened, and was held in the palm of his hand.
Before he could stand still, there was a loud roar in his ears, and the crimson monster that was lying on the ground had pounced on him again.
Shi Mu's clenched fist suddenly swung to the side, a black light suddenly appeared in the palm of his hand, and the needle-like Ruyi stick suddenly turned into a length of ten feet, and struck the monster beast in one stroke.
"Bang"
With a heavy muffled sound, the red demonic beast was hit by Shi Mu with a stick and flew backwards, hitting the cave wall.
Shi Mu took a step forward, and just as he was about to pursue him forward, two golden and red electric lights struck him from both sides.
He immediately stopped and retreated, and the two bolts of lightning struck in front of him at the same time.
Shi Mu looked to both sides and saw two red demonic beasts standing on the left and right respectively. In addition to the one injured by his stick earlier, there were actually three demonic beasts in the cave at this time, and their auras were still there.
None are weak.
At this moment, Shi Mu saw that the monster that he had just knocked away had stood up. Except for a few scales falling off where it was hit, it didn't seem to be too seriously injured.
"Ouch..."
The crimson demon beast let out an angry roar, and red light surged from its open mouth, and it suddenly sprayed out a stream of light red mist.
When Shi Mu saw this, the fire on his body suddenly lit up, completely covering himself, and golden scales emerged from his skin one after another.
As soon as his scales covered his body, the light red mist from the other side had already filled the air, enveloping his entire body.
Shi Mu immediately felt that the temperature around his body had dropped slightly, and the red flames on his body were a little unstable. When encountering this light mist, there was no burning phenomenon that he had seen before.
At the same time, around him, three red monsters gathered around him, their eyes were filled with divine light, and golden and red lightning was about to erupt.
Shi Mu secretly thought that something was not right, and as soon as his feet moved, he had to retreat back.
However, at this moment, there was a "chi-la" sound from behind him, and a bolt of lightning suddenly shot towards his back, forcefully forcing him back into the mist.
The red lightning in the eyes of the three monster beasts has also come one after another.
"Tsk"
Four rays of lightning were seen shooting into the light red mist almost at the same time. The mist that was originally calm and diffuse suddenly seemed to be boiling, surging violently. Countless rays of lightning were flowing freely in it, constantly hitting Shi Mu's body.
"ah!"
Shi Mu only felt a strong sense of numbness spread throughout his body, and his body immediately became stiff. He could not hold the long black stick in his hand, and it fell to the ground with a "bang".
What surprised him was that when those golden and red electric lights exploded, there was no burning pain in his body. In addition to numbness, the rest was a cold and biting feeling. (To be continued.)
