In the small valley, Yanxuan was digging for a good-quality spiritual grass with a focused expression.
Li Jian, Lu Pingchuan and Tang Ping stayed by Yanxuan's side. Tang Ping looked upward from time to time through the branches and leaves of the trees above her head. Above, Qian Chao's figure was patrolling back and forth, busy, and There was a buzzing sound in the small valley where the five of them were at this time.
Frustrated by Broken Star Lake and blocked by Bai Jiao, they could not fly directly across Broken Star Lake, so they changed their direction and walked along the lake. Finally, they crossed a large river extending from the lake and came here. In a small valley.
There is no name for this small valley on the map. Qian Chao got different names for this small valley from different senior brothers. Some people call it "Feng Valley", while others call it "Hanging Corpse Valley".
It is called "Bee Valley" because this valley is the habitat of a large venomous bee called "Golden-winged Black-backed Flycatcher". The smallest venomous bee is the size of a date, and its size is usually as large as a chicken egg. , among which there are many powerful poisonous bees that are as big as Lu Pingchuan's fist. A pair of golden wings flap like a ball of misty golden light. However, there is a dark ink line on the back of this poisonous bee from beginning to end. The bigger the poisonous bee, the thicker this dark ink line is, so it has Got this name.
Speaking of which, this kind of poisonous bee is only a low-level demon insect, and only the leading queen bee among the group is a low-level high-level one. However, for the Qi Refining monks in Wuling Sect, this kind of golden-winged black-backed fly is a kind of frightening thing. There are three reasons for being frightened by the news.
The first is that this poisonous bee is very poisonous. If you are accidentally stung by this poisonous bee, your body will immediately begin to be paralyzed in severe pain. This kind of poisonous bee never acts alone, and will swarm as soon as it is found. The swarms of swarms are flying towards you. If your body is numb, your movements will be difficult and your speed will be slowed down. In that case, you will be overtaken by the swarm and you will die.
The second is that these poisonous bees fly very quickly. Although they cannot fly very high, they can come and go freely in low altitudes. The idle Qi Refining monks are not even as fast as these poisonous bees. This is why they are so popular. A headache;
The third thing is that these poisonous bees are ferocious, violent, and aggressive. If they regard a place as their territory, no matter what invades, they will immediately cause the entire swarm to come out of the nest and fight against the invasion. The demonic beasts that come are either fighting to the death with the monks, either annihilating the group themselves or killing the other party. Even if the other party escapes, they will pursue them closely.
It is these three reasons that make the Five Spirits disciples stay away from this poisonous bee.
Monster insects are also very common in the practice world. Compared with monster beasts or monster birds, their grades are generally not higher. However, in the practice world, monks would rather hunt more ferocious and high-level monsters. Birds are not willing to provoke demonic insects easily, because although the demonic insects are not of high grade, most of them are born in groups. Even a small group of demonic insects can be countless in number. When they attack, they are like black mist. They usually come at you, biting your head, feet, front and back from all directions, making it hard to guard against. That's all. The most frightening thing is that the monster insects are often poisonous. They are numerous in number and are not afraid of death. It is already irresistible. If you are bitten or stung, not to mention the pain after being poisoned, it is probably difficult to escape even if the poison attacks. Therefore, in the world of cultivation, monks generally do not easily provoke monster insects.
As for the fact that this valley is also called the "Valley of Hanging Corpses", it is due to the hive of this golden-winged black-backed fly.
The hive of this kind of poisonous bee is hung on the branches of trees in the valley. It seems that the material is probably made of this kind of poisonous bee chewing up vegetation and then mixing it with soil. The shape of the hive is a long strip, or straight. Or it was curled up and hanging dangling from the tree, looking like a calf wrapped in rotten pieces of linen cloth or... a human corpse!
Even the brave Lu Pingchuan was shocked when he saw the scene in the valley. Before he came in, he was still yelling about why there were so many dead people hanging here!
There is far more than just one beehive here. At a glance, there are lush trees in the valley. Under the canopy of the trees, there are countless such beehives swaying gently in the breeze, as if countless people were tortured and killed here, and then the murderers still returned. It's like hanging the corpse here to expose it. Even the thick and curved vine branches on the mountain walls on both sides of the valley are covered with such honeycombs. At first glance, this small valley is chilling.
But there are good things here.
This kind of poisonous bee is very good at isolating other monsters from this small valley. Therefore, Yanxuan, who is sensitive to spiritual grass, was afraid and soon discovered that there were a lot of high-quality spiritual grass here. Compared with It was even better in Ten Thousand Arrows Forest, and although the poisonous bees were powerful, if she could catch some and try to remove their venom, she could prepare some good detoxifying and healing medicines.
When Qian Chao saw the terrain of this small valley, especially the large poisonous bees flying around amidst the buzzing sound, his heart immediately moved and he realized that this was also a good place to deal with Wen Liang.
Next, the five people were divided into two groups. With the help of the hidden spirit array on their bodies, they entered the valley without being noticed by the dense swarm of bees in the forest. Qian Chao began to set up in the valley alone. , first he has to set up the formation here, and then he has to manipulate the densely packed honeycombs hanging on the trees. If this place can be used in the future, it will definitely be an extremely powerful trap.
The other four people were together. Yanxuan overcame his fear of the buzzing sound in the valley and forced his mind to dig up the spiritual grass on the ground. The other three people stayed by her side.
In fact, Li Jian felt a sense of déjà vu as soon as he saw the scene in this valley. His residence in Muxiufeng was a purple bamboo forest. There were wild bees in the bamboo forest. The taste of wild honey was still very good. Li Jian once wanted to protect The wild bees in their own forest have almost wiped out a poisonous bee called "Tiger Blackfly" on the other side of the mountain. The hive of the Tiger Blackfly is very similar to the one in this valley, except that it is golden. The black-winged black-backed fly is much more powerful than the tiger-striped black fly he has dealt with!
After all, we are in close contact with this wild bee. Even if its own spiritual energy fluctuations can be blocked, if it makes a noise or accidentally touches the large hives hanging upside down, the entire bee may be destroyed. The crowd was startled. Therefore, the five people were quiet in this valley. Even Lu Pingchuan, who had always been talkative, remained silent at this time. Apart from staying by Yanxuan's side, he curiously looked at a large dark yellow beehive not far away. , watching large wild bees flying in and out. At this time, they all used hand gestures to communicate with each other if they had anything to ask. Lu Pingchuan stared at Tang Ping for a long time and then gestured to Tang Ping as if he was eating, and then pointed at a large beehive, as if to ask what was inside. There would be no honey, and Tang Ping shook her head, but she didn't know how to use gestures to express that these poisonous bees only eat meat and don't make honey, so she had no choice but to shake her head again. On top of Tang Ping's head, the two sword beetles that usually transformed into a jade hairpin now appeared. Their two small heads stared at the poisonous bees flying above their heads, seemingly very worried. salivating, but without Tang Ping's permission, these two little guys could only watch.
When Qian Chao was flying around, there was a dark jar hanging next to him and following him. Among the five people, Qian Chao was the most active. From time to time, he would be discovered by wild bees because of his back and forth movements. , there must be a wild bee curiously flying closer to take a look. This is when the jar is working. Whenever a wild bee flies close to Qian Chao, the mouth of the jar will be deflected and pointed at the flying incoming bee. Wild bees, and then a suction force came out from the jar, immediately sucking in the approaching wild bees, and the whole process was silent and would not disturb other wild bees at all.
Finally, after being busy here for nearly two hours, it was already past noon. Qian Chao approached the other four companions and gestured to tell them that his work was done. After a while, Yanxuan took out a plant of good quality. After taking the spiritual grass, the five people quietly left the valley.
"Hey, I was so suffocated that I can finally speak. Sister Tang, is there any honey in those big beehives in the valley just now?" Lu Pingchuan was still very curious about this.
"Of course not. Those poisonous bees eat meat and they don't produce honey." Tang Ping said.
"Sister Yan," Qian Chao patted his jar, "There should be a lot of poisonous bees in here. Let's get the bee venom from them later."
"Boy Qian, what arrangements did you make there?" Tang Ping asked.
"They are all arranged to annoy those poisonous bees. When the formations there are activated, at least it will be difficult for Qi Refining monks to fly there. Even if they can barely fly, they will not be able to fly fast. Plus there are poisonous bees there. Alas, I am now I just hope it’s not needed there…”
"Hehe, what Brother Qian said, I would rather see the gang of boys that Wen Liang found being unlucky there!" Lu Pingchuan said with a smile.
…
In the afternoon, Qian Chao and the other five people continued to move towards Jianzhong Mountain and came to a place called "Dacanze".
This big swamp is a large swamp, close to Broken Star Lake, which Qian Chao and others cannot fly directly over. Since it is a big swamp, there are naturally no tall trees, but at a glance, there is nothing but soft mud and Beyond the dense puddles, there are many shrubs growing here.
In addition, you can see flocks of birds circling here from a distance, presumably living in those shrubs.
It is a kind of bird with a purple-black back and wings, a pink belly, a thin neck and a long beak, and a chirping sound. It is not big, and one of its wings is only as big as an ordinary person's hand when it is unfolded. They fly extremely fast. When a group of birds gather together to fly, they move like a black tide and move as fast as a strong wind. Even when turning, they can all change direction, as if the group of birds is one bird.
Seeing it from a distance, Tang Ping asked everyone to slow down and stop outside the vast marsh.
"Boy Qian, do you still remember the bird you mentioned when you told stories before?" Tang Ping said.
"Of course I remember it. Is the bird in front of me the coward?"
"Yes, I have heard the name all the time, and now I finally see this kind of demon bird. Well, I wanted to get one to raise at first, but unfortunately, this bird is somewhat similar to a demon insect, so raising one is of little use. You have to raise a flock of birds to have enough power, but it’s a pity that there is no spiritual master who can raise such a large flock of birds!”
Speaking of this, Tang Ping suddenly smiled and said:
"What do you want to do here?"
"You always have to take a look before you decide."
"No need to look, Mr. Qian, I will decorate this big Cangze. Well, there is no need to decorate. As long as I bring gentle people here, I can make all the birds here come under my control!"
