Mangshan Mountain is far wider than Shen Qian imagined.
After Shen's actual measurement of the journey several hours ago, and based on the scale on the map, the length of Mangshan Mountain was at least a thousand kilometers.
The longest existing mountain range in China is the Kunlun Mountains, which is only 2,500 kilometers long, and the Mangshan Mountain is almost half of that.
But on this ancient map that is several meters long, Mangshan is just a small grain of rice, inconspicuous.
This made Shen Qian take a breath.
Because compared to the conspicuous markings of the Kunlun Mountains on modern maps, the land area in this ancient era is too exaggerated!
Even Shen Qian couldn't help but wonder, is he really still on earth?
At least from the map, he really couldn't see any similarity.
But if not, how did the human race migrate from this vast ancient region to the later Earth?
Or is this the Eurasian continent before the movement of tectonic plates?
But it seems that it still doesn't match up.
For a moment, he couldn't figure out what was going on, and Shen Qian could only put his doubts behind him for the time being.
He followed Yue Falcon closely, shuttling between the mountains and forests.
Occasionally, he would ask Yue Falcon to wait, and then under Yue Falcon's surprised gaze, Shen Qian would go directly into the nearby forest. When he came out again, he would be holding various kinds of things in his hands. Such strange shaped plants.
Yue Falcon was extremely shocked.
Following the Dayue clan since she was a child, Yue Falcon would often go into the mountains to collect medicines with the clan leader. Although so far she could only refine some simple medicines. After all, the knowledge of medicine refining is so vast, and she has already studied it very hard. , but due to time constraints, it can still only be considered an introduction.
But... this does not affect Yue Falcon's knowledge of various elixirs.
Shen Qian collected hundreds of kinds of elixirs in just one hour, and she couldn't even name more than 60% of them.
Even the remaining ones she had seen were all rare elixirs that the clan leader would carefully collect, the kind that might not be encountered once in several years.
However, she saw with her own eyes that Shen Qian muttered something about "I can't hold it anymore", and then with her eyes filled with heartache that made it difficult to breathe, he dropped a celestial vine that was half a person's height off the cliff... …
By the gods, that's Celestial Vine!
She still remembered that when she was a child, the clan leader collected a calf-high azure vine and sighed for several days, saying that it was "a gift that can only be encountered but cannot be asked for."
But in Shen Qian's hands, he discarded it just because he couldn't hold it.
However, Yue Falcon could not accuse him of anything, because of the remaining elixirs in his hand, even if Yue Falcon could not name them, he could tell from the intoxicating aroma of the medicines and the faint fluctuations of spiritual energy in them that they were all It is a high-level elixir that is rarer than Celestial Vine!
If she hadn't been traveling with Shen Qian all this way, Yue Falcon wouldn't have believed that there were so many mature elixirs in Mang Mountain.
It even gave Yue Falcon the illusion of being "everywhere".
Under the shock, Yue Falcon didn't even dwell too much on the fact that Shen Qian also possessed a space artifact.
But when she saw Shen Qian discarding the elixir for the third or fourth time, Yue Falcon finally couldn't help it. She ignored the clan leader's instructions and used her own space artifact to quietly throw away the elixir that Shen Qian had thrown away. Put it away.
The harvest she gained in this half hour alone is already equivalent to the total harvest of the Dayue clan in the past twenty years!
With these elixirs, I don’t know how many good things I can get from those merchants.
Although she was leading the way, if she hadn't been concerned about the crisis of the clan, she would have even wished that the two of them could continue wandering around the mountains like this.
It doesn’t take much. Just one more day, and the entire clan can live comfortably for three years. There is no need to hunt or go out for adventure...
While Yue Falcon was looking forward to the infinite, Shen Qian, who was silently harvesting various elixirs along the way, was also constantly sighing.
What a waste of natural resources, what a waste of natural resources!
Although the aura of this world is extremely thin, not even one-tenth of that of modern society, but...
The original ecology here is really well protected!
Mangshan has existed for who knows how long, and during this long time, even the thinnest spiritual energy is enough to give birth to countless good things.
I don't know if it is because of the existence of gods, but there are very few monsters with a certain level in Mang Mountain.
Most of these elixirs that should have become the natural food of monsters and beasts have been preserved, and as time goes by, the number is increasing.
Gods are born in heaven and earth, and they cultivate luck, so they probably don't care much about these things.
The Dayue Clan has only moved here for a thousand years. Even if the entire clan uses their strength, how much can they collect?
Not to mention that based on Shen Qian's estimation, it is estimated that only the Da Yue clan in the entire Da Yue clan has the ability to identify and collect elixirs.
High-level elixirs are naturally good at concealment. No matter how hard it is, Da Yueshi will never have the ability to scan blind spots like the system.
Moreover, the other party must first be able to recognize all the elixirs.
All these reasons have created... In Shen Qian's eyes, the Mang Mountain is simply a huge treasure house open between heaven and earth, but it has never been visited by anyone.
What is even more surprising is that Shen Qian has collected hundreds of kinds of elixirs, but he, the seven-star alchemy master, can't recognize the names of less than half of them.
This can only mean that those are varieties that no longer exist in modern society.
Or... a rare species that is impossible to appear in the environment where the spiritual energy has only been revived for a few hundred years!
The most amazing thing is that each one is bigger than the other!
Take the chinisandra chinensis that Shen Qian used to refine the "physical potion" as an example. The chinisandra chinensis that Shen Qian searched for in the Nanmen River in Jingcheng was only about the size of a palm, but here, among the three chinisandra chinensis he picked at random, the smallest one was The plant is also half a meter tall!
In ancient times, not only cats and dogs grew big, but even the elixirs were also giant, which was very comfortable.
Although it was later limited to the space ring, Shen Qian had to throw away a lot of elixirs of average value... Oh, to be precise, he threw them to Yue Falcon who quietly picked them up behind him, but in short...
This wave is still making a lot of money.
The endless elixir alone gave Shen Qian a sense of satisfaction in traveling through the long river of time.
The only pity is that he is in urgent need of regaining his strength and has no time to refine it carefully. He can only process some of the elixir briefly in Yue Falcon's "wasteful" eyes, and then stuff it into his belly.
Even so, when Yue Falcon, who was responsible for leading the way, finally stopped, the injuries on Shen Qian's body had long been healed, and the strong energy flowing in his body had been restored to a full extent.
The recovery of mental power is much slower, but it has been restored to above the level, at least more than 50% has been recovered, and at least the headache no longer hurts.
Seeing the Moon Falcon stopped, Shen Qian also put away all his thoughts and took stock of the surrounding environment.
In more than two hours, even though Yue Falcon who led the way was only as strong as a high-level warrior, and Shen Qian was delayed a lot along the way, the two of them had already traveled hundreds of miles.
At this time, the two of them were near a mountainside stream.
The stream is almost dry and is surrounded by dense jungle. Judging from the nearby environment, this place is just like the countless mountain forests they have passed through, and there is nothing special about it.
But Yue Falcon searched nearby, quickly opened up a patch of weeds, and pointed at a pile of rocks buried deep in the weeds.
"It's here. When I was a child, the patriarch took me here several times in order to find out the truth about the disappearance of the snake god. At that time, the patriarch made a mark here..."
Shen Qian leaned over and took a look, then nodded.
The pile of stones was deliberately placed in the shape of a crescent moon, which was the totem of the Dayue Clan.
"You can reach the snake god's residence by walking along this stream, but the patriarch came three times and still couldn't find the real entrance..."
Yue Falcon's expression was a little gloomy.
In fact, she doesn't agree with looking for the snake god. After all, the hope is elusive. But if the snake god who has protected the clan for thousands of years is really alive, the clan's crisis will naturally be solved.
This is also the reason why Yue Falcon was finally convinced by Shen Qian.
Boom!
At this moment, there was sudden thunder in the distant sky.
The two of them raised their heads together and saw that dark clouds began to gather in the northwest sky, and the dark clouds quickly moved towards a certain direction of Mang Mountain.
"It's God Qi... He really went to the tribe!"
Yue Falcon's expression suddenly changed, and he judged that Qishen's movement trajectory was heading towards the Dayue clan.
"Let's go, let's hurry up."
Shen Qian pulled Yue Falcon. Seeing the other party's hesitation, he could only shake his head and add, "If the snake god is really gone, I won't stand idly by."
After receiving Shen Qian's promise, Yue Falcon felt a little more at ease.
Although in her eyes, Shen Qian could not be Qishen's opponent.
However, Shen Qian is at least a strong man who can hurt Qishen, and he can always do something.
In fact, Shen Qian was also a little helpless.
It stands to reason that he is just a passer-by, even if he doesn't get involved, it's nothing.
There is a certain destiny somewhere.
Since the modern human race is not extinct, to a certain extent, the survival of the Dayue clan is probably just an inconspicuous wave in the long river of history.
Due to various theories such as the "Butterfly Effect" and "Grandfather Paradox" in the science fiction stories he had read before, Shen Qian did not know whether he, a person who did not belong to ancient times, would cause unforeseen consequences if he made some rash actions. consequences of testing.
However, whether it was the appearance of the man in white or what Yue Falcon had just told Shen Qian, Dayuezhi's bowl of soup was their clan's most precious inventory, and in order to brew that bowl of soup, Dayuezhi even permanently damaged a lot of it. Less mental energy...
It all made Shen Qian understand that he might not be able to stay out of the matter for a long time.
In this case, it is better to participate more actively. After all, there are some fogs that he has to clear away with his own hands.
There was no need to look for the elixir anymore, and no matter what Yue Falcon's attitude was, in order to save time, Shen Qian picked up the other party's thigh, directly lifted her onto his shoulder, and moved quickly along the stream.
With Shen Qian's speed, in just a dozen breaths, the two of them had arrived at the end of the stream.
On the mountainside, the stream stopped abruptly. The cave at the source was extremely narrow. There were no traces of water flowing in it, but it had been dry for a long time.
Putting Yue Falcon down, who was still a little dizzy and a little shocked, Shen Qian observed the surroundings attentively.
"Shen Qian, you..."
"What a huge covering formation!"
Before Yue Falcon could ask anything, Shen Qian had already sighed.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Qian's figure began to move quickly within a radius of a hundred meters.
Yue Falcon didn't know what he had done, but when those afterimages had not dissipated and Shen Qian's figure had returned to the original place, along with the sound of "rumbling", the originally ordinary forest land began to change. In Yue Falcon's eyes, earth-shaking changes have taken place.
The mountain forest turned upside down, the trees collapsed, and the mouth of the originally narrow stream embedded in the rocks began to expand infinitely, eventually evolving into a huge cave with a diameter of tens of meters.
While Yue Falcon was still looking at the cave entrance in amazement, which was in the shape of a bloody mouth, Shen Qian had already arrived at a nearby stone carving for the first time.
The stone carving was in the shape of a huge fang, with a list of stars on it, but it was carved into a simple "formation flag."
"The formation technique of the human race..."
Shen Qian took a deep breath, surprised but not surprised.
"Let's go."
After greeting Yue Falcon, Shen Qian stepped into the cave entrance first.
Yue Falcon came back to his senses, first bowed respectfully to the fang-shaped stone carving, and then quickly followed Shen Qian.
The cave was far deeper than Shen Qian imagined. At first, Shen Qian was cautious and deliberately slowed down his pace. However, after going hundreds of meters deep and not finding any danger in Shen Qian's mental perception, Shen Qian started again. He picked up the Moon Falcon and strode forward.
"The patriarch said this is a place only husbands can touch..."
Yue Falcon opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything. She could only blush and purse her lips, letting Shen Qian pinch the smooth thighs exposed under her short skirt until they turned blue.
Hundreds of meters, kilometers...
When light finally came from the front, in Shen Qian's perception, they were already in the deepest part of the mountain.
But Shen Qian's brows kept frowning.
Still can't detect any breath of life...
It stands to reason that for all beasts, their territory, especially their own lair, can be said to be inviolable.
So far, he has not encountered any obstacles. In fact, Shen Qian knows very well that the legendary snake god is probably really dead.
call out!
As Shen Qian finally jumped and landed on the raised platform at the end of the corridor, all the darkness finally disappeared and his eyes became wide open.
After a short period of adaptation, when Shen Qian's gaze moved forward again, his pupils couldn't help but shrink.
Yue Falcon, who was still pressing on Shen Qian's shoulder, forgot about it for a while, just opened his small mouth blankly and stared ahead.
In the huge cave extending from the corridor, in the dreamy space where the light was shining, a huge python with a body length of more than a kilometer was entrenched on the ground, looking up at the sky.
Dark blue scales are all over its body, and there seems to be some kind of dazzling luster on them, shining under the refraction of light. Its two vertical pupils are blood red, but they also reveal something A touch of humanity.
It seems to contain various emotions such as unwillingness, anger and contempt, making this giant python, which is supposed to be a cold-blooded creature, come alive.
But...it remained motionless, like a sculpture.
Going up the snake's head, at the high altitude where the giant python was staring or fighting, Shen Qian saw a scene that was even more shocking and completely unbelievable to him.
"That is……"
