Zeng Jian caught Chen Fan's eyes and said hurriedly, "It won't take long. There is a small valley not far ahead. There are detoxifying herbs everywhere in the valley. Anyway, you are not sure where that friend is now. We can
Look for it as you go."
"Okay!" Chen Fan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said, "If I still can't find my friend after going to the valley, I will have to go on the road alone. Then you can carry this kid back on your back."
"Thank you!" Zeng Jianli immediately cast a grateful look at Chen Fan. Without saying a word, he picked up the nizhu and ran forward, while Chen Fan followed him helplessly.
This red wilderness valley occupies a large area. The two of them kept walking non-stop. It took them nearly half an hour to enter a small valley deep in the basin. The valley was a semi-arc structure, with rocks and rocks on both sides.
There are strange rocks, but they are not as desolate as outside. Herbs and unknown plants grow everywhere in the rock walls and crevices, which is quite lush.
The herbs Zeng Jian was looking for were on the stone wall of the valley. After entering the valley, he immediately put him down, pointed at the steep wall nearly thirty meters above the ground and said, "I'll climb up and look for it first. Could you please help me?"
Look at Nizhu."
Chen Fan looked at the unconscious young man, whose cheeks had already turned purple. He knew that if he couldn't detoxify quickly, he might not be able to last much longer, so he nodded and said, "Move quickly."
"Don't worry, I'll be down soon!" Zeng Jian immediately climbed along the steep wall. There were many vines growing in the crevices of the rocks. Zeng Jian grabbed these vines and flew upwards. His movements were not slow at all, and he only used the utmost strength.
It climbed up the steep slope in a short time.
Chen Fan looked around, looking for clues about Zhou Tao's whereabouts. However, after searching for most of the circle, Chen Fan still couldn't find any traces left by Zhou Tao. He couldn't help but feel disappointed. He shook his head and said to himself, "Could it be that the prophet
Are you lying to me? Or maybe this kid was unlucky and died in the monster's belly before I could arrive in time?"
With this thought in his mind, Chen Fan became a little anxious.
Although he has always had a cold temperament, he cannot sit back and ignore his friends and family. This may be Chen Fan's only weakness. Now that Zhou Tao's life and death are unknown, it is natural for Chen Fan to feel depressed.
Not long after, Zeng Jian grabbed a handful of dark green leaves and slid down from the cliff. After landing, he quickly rushed towards Ni Zhu, stuffing the leaves into his mouth and chewing them, and smearing these chewed young leaves on Ni Zhu.
On Zhu's wound, he said vaguely, "It's really strange. There is a cave on the steep wall, as if it was smashed out by someone. I have been here several times and I have never seen this cave before."
"Where is it?" Chen Fan's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked Zeng Jian.
Zeng Jian spat out the bitter herbs in his mouth and pointed to the place on the cliff where he had climbed just now, "Just climb twenty meters up."
"I gonna go see!"
Without saying a word, Chen Fan immediately stamped his feet vigorously and flew towards the edge of the cliff. In a few breaths, he had climbed to the stone wall twenty or thirty meters above the ground. He inserted his hands deeply into the stone wall and followed the chaos with his eyes.
After searching the rugged stone wall, I quickly found a small stone crevice covered by vines.
The stone cracks are not purely natural. Around the stone cracks, Chen Fan found some traces of man-made destruction. His heart suddenly tightened and he hurriedly used his strength to fly out and easily jumped to the edge of the stone cracks.
Chen Fan quickly squeezed into the crack in the stone, squinted his eyes and looked around, taking in a clear view of the cave. In this small space, Chen Fan found a tattered jacket, which was covered with black spots and blood stains.
The cuffs were torn into rags, and the smell of blood was strong. They must have been replaced not long ago.
"It's Zhou Tao!"
A thought came out of his mind, and Chen Fan's face suddenly filled with joy. He quickly threw away his shirt and continued searching, but except for the bloody shirt, there was nothing in the cave. Just when he was hesitating
, but Chen Fan heard Zeng Jian's shout from under the steep wall, "Are you still there? Come down quickly, I found a dagger nearby!"
Chen Fan quickly got out of the crack in the stone and saw Zeng Jian at the foot of the steep wall holding a bloody dagger and waving it vigorously, "There is blood on this dagger!"
Chen Fan's eyes flashed, and he immediately jumped down the mountain wall. When he took the dagger from Zeng Jian's hand, the excitement in his eyes became even more intense.
This dagger has three edges, and the material used to make it comes from another world. It has the same structure as the military spurs used by the Yunxi City military. It is obviously the one Zhou Tao always carries with him.
"My friend should be around here. I have to find him right away. You guys should retreat to the cracks in the rocks and hide!" Chen Fan quickly put away the military spurs and turned back to Zeng Jian.
Zeng Jianze hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, after leaving this valley, you will reach the core area of the poisonous spider lair. The poisonous fire wolf spiders there are particularly powerful. If you are not familiar with the terrain, you should take me with you.
Well, I can give you some help if necessary."
Chen Fan thought quickly and realized that he could only use a small part of his combat power. If he encountered a monster with level 3 combat power, it would be almost a dead end. It would be good to have someone familiar with the terrain to lead the way.
Thinking of this, Chen Fan pointed at the young man Ni Zhu who was unconscious on the ground, "What should he do?"
"It doesn't matter, I can carry him on my back!" Miao people value friendship and will never abandon their own people. Zeng Jian said as he untied a rope from his body and tied the unconscious Ni Zhu to his back.
, signaling to Chen Fan that it was time to set off.
Although the military thorn left behind by Zhou Tao was found, the dense vegetation nearby did not leave many clues to search for. Chen Fan and Zeng Jian first dispersed and searched in a fan shape along the area where the military thorn was found, which took most of the effort.
When he was young, Zeng Jian finally made some gains and hurriedly shouted to Chen Fan,
"Come here and take a look, there are traces of fighting here!"
Chen Fan immediately ran to the place where the shouting came from. Soon, a huge cone-shaped ice shuttle appeared in front of him. The area near the ice pick was a mess, with trees and rocks destroyed by the airflow everywhere.
Some residual blood stains can be seen on the ground, as well as some traces of being burned by poisonous fire.
The ground is cracked, with fallen tree trunks and rocks everywhere, and some places are filled with ice chips. However, the shallow pit formed by the explosion is filled with an extremely strange smell of fire poison, which obviously comes from the monster that fought Zhou Tao!
"Your friend should have fought with the Poisonous Fire Wolf Spider!" Zeng Jian pointed to the messy ground and the unmelted ice chips on the ground, and said in a horrified voice.
"Where is the lair of the Poisonous Fire Wolf Spider? Take me there quickly!" Chen Fan narrowed his eyes tightly, looking at the shallow pits that exploded on the ground, and his tone became increasingly cold.
Such a large-scale battle almost covered an area of 100 meters in radius, which shows that the combat power of the Poisonous Fire Wolf Spider is by no means simple, and it is at least a beast with peak combat power of the second level.
If Zhou Tao was in his heyday, he would not be afraid of monsters of this level, but Chen Fan was sure that he had been injured. The blood stains on the ground were proof that Zhou Tao, who was seriously injured, was obviously unable to face monsters of this level alone!
