"I smell it too."
The three people looked at each other, with surprise in their eyes.
"The spiritual seed is definitely the red velvet spiritual seed."
Spiritual seeds are something that can be encountered but cannot be sought in this world. Ordinary people eat them to prolong their lives and keep their bodies strong. People who practice martial arts eat it, which helps to break through the realm and consolidate the foundation. It is difficult to exchange for a hundred taels of gold. Not only plants, animals can also be called spiritual seeds. As for the formation principle, there are different opinions. Some say it is a wonder of heaven and earth, and some say it is a wonder of heaven and earth. It is said to be the essence of earth energy, but obtaining it often means a rare opportunity. For this mountain range, the two spiritual species that are easiest to breed are red antler and mountain ginseng. In more than ten years, the entire Black Mountain City has only discovered several times.
"Great, we must get it. Brothers, put the things here first. The spiritual seed will be guarded by ferocious beasts. We must be careful not to capsize in the gutter."
The three of them hung things on the branches and took out the weapons on their backs and waists.
Several people smelled the fragrance and walked towards it step by step.
"Baojin, climb up the tree and take a look to see what's guarding it."
"Okay." Baojin said, hanging the bow and arrow on his body, like a flexible monkey, swish, swish, and climbed to the middle of a red pine. He clamped the trunk with his legs and pulled the branch forward with one hand. Fang looked around.
After observing for a while, he slowly slid down and said what he saw: "Brother Tiger, a black bear, bigger than usual."
Hutou pondered for a moment and said: "Fortunately, it should be okay. It's not as good as the white tiger we met back then. If that happened, we would have to run back to fetch reinforcements."
"In this way, Baojin, let's dig a big hole first and move some rocks. Step 2, you go chop some wood, cut it into sharp wood, and insert it into the bottom of the hole in a while. You have to move quickly, and in two hours the sky will be ready. It’s dark and I missed this opportunity. If we come back next time, nothing will happen to us.”
After saying that, the three of them were busy for a while. After working for about an hour, the three of them finally finished cleaning up and dug a pit more than three meters deep and two meters wide. They sprinkled fallen leaves around the pit and placed shrub branches on the pit. , leaves, then cover it with soil, then sprinkle with fallen leaves, and mark the side to prevent others from accidentally falling.
When Baojin was digging the trap, he also found some toxin-containing plants nearby and distributed them to the other two, and used their sap to quench the venom on the weapons.
"We will lead the black bear into the trap in a while. Baojin and I will hold the black bear here. Step 2, hurry up and collect the spiritual seeds. When we are done, let's run away quickly. Don't be reluctant to fight. By the way, have you found the sludge I asked you to find? ?”
"Found it, now."
"As soon as you pick it, quickly wrap it with a cloth, then wrap it with mud, and then run away. Remember to say hello when you are done, and we will evacuate quickly, otherwise things will change if it is too late. Remember, you can go pick it after I have given you a greeting, so as not to attract the black bear. It’s over, be careful with your life.”
"Don't worry, Brother Hu." The two of them were eager to try Ning Hutou's arrangement.
"Okay, Baojin. It's up to you!"
Several people crouched and gradually approached the black bear and the red velvet spirit species it protected from different directions. Bu Er buried his body in a bush. Staring quietly, waiting for the brothers' actions.
Whoosh. A long arrow passed over the red pine trees and accurately shot towards the black bear. Hearing the sound, the black bear stopped scratching on a tall red pine and lay down on the ground.
puff!
The long arrow shot shallowly into the black bear's forelimbs. The long arrow that was originally aimed at the chest and abdomen was blocked by the forelimbs.
Whoosh!
Then the second long arrow shot towards the black bear's eye, and the black bear quickly covered it with its forelimbs. The second long arrow then shot into the black bear's forelimb. The black bear, who was still hesitant to chase these people, was immediately enraged, roared, and rushed towards this direction crazily.
"Zhahu!"
Then Ning Hutou was deliberately exposed to the black bear's sight and ran away madly into the distance.
As for Baojin, he bypassed the direction where the black bear was chasing him, returned to the place where he had just dug the trap, found a big tree next to the trap, climbed up, tied himself to the tree with a rope, and freed himself. With both hands, take the bow and arrow from your back.
Ning Hutou led the black bear around the mountain forest for a while, threw the hunting fork on the ground, and climbed to a big tree in front of Baojin.
The black bear saw the strange creature that had hurt it climbed up the tree, and frantically hit and slapped the tree trunk with its body, causing the entire tree to shake.
On the opposite side, Baojin saw that the black bear had been lured over, bent his bow and arrow, and held his breath.
With a whoosh, the arrow hit the black bear's eye accurately.
The black bear let out a scream, put down the chasing Ning Hu, turned around and ran towards Baojin like crazy.
The angry black bear had lost its mind and paid no attention to the difference between the land ahead and the surrounding environment.
With a "dong" sound, he fell headfirst into the dug trap.
Ning Hutou saw this, put his fingers in his mouth, and made a loud whistle.
Bu Er, who was far away, waved his arms excitedly when he heard the sound, and whispered: "It's done."
He quickly got up and went to pick red velvet spiritual seeds.
I saw that the appearance of the red antler spirit species is basically the same as that of the red antler. The difference is that the red color of the mushroom umbrella is like glass and the fungus column is like white jade. It is like a carved work of art, not like a natural thing. The three red antler spirit species The seeds grow together, two big and one small.
Bu Er carefully dug up the red velvet spirit seeds with the shovel in his hand, wrapped them in the cloth that had been prepared, smeared mud on the outside of the cloth bag, put it in his arms, and wiped his dirty hands on his body casually. A few times, then he put his fingers into his mouth and made a long whistle.
Speaking of which, the two people led the black bear into the trap, quickly climbed down the tree, picked up their weapons, one person kept poking down, and the other kept pointing his bow and arrow. Because the trap was small and there was someone blocking it from above, the black bear kept hitting it. Use your arms to block, and there is no time to climb out.
After a while, the two people who heard the whistle looked at each other and beamed with joy. Put down the black bear trapped in the trap, turn around and run madly towards the place where the items were placed.
After a while, a few people ran to the place where the deer carcass was placed, took down the deer, replaced it with Ning Hu's head and back, and then ran down the mountain.
After running for about a cup of tea, the three of them slowed down, breathed heavily, looked at each other, and laughed.
At this time, the sun hanging in the blue sky slowly sank to the west, and the darkness from the east shrouded the earth bit by bit. The setting sun was bright red, reflecting the three mottled figures in the mountain forest.
It was said that the three people who had obtained the red velvet spiritual seed rested for a while in the forest and then began to walk down the mountain. However, at this time, none of the three people noticed that the sky above them seemed to be different from usual.
The sun that was originally in the west suddenly disappeared. There seemed to be something on the sky that was squeezing the sky little by little. The whole sky was like a squeezed balloon and began to dent. Then people all over the world heard a sound like glass. Broken sounds, and then countless violent winds swept across the entire continent.
Seeing this devastating scene, many people had already reacted and started running around, shouting for help.
The three people who were still immersed in joy just now also reacted. They looked at the sky in horror and muttered to themselves: "This is... the sky is falling!"
Before a few people could react, the ground began to shake crazily, the mountains roared, boulders rolled down, and the ground tore apart. In just a few dozen seconds, everything became different. The flat land turned into ravines, the mountains and rivers were flattened, and the gullies rose into mountains and rivers.
The three people who fell into a crack were lying on the ground crookedly, covered in blood. At this time, only one of the three, Ning Hu, could still move his head, and there was still fear in his eyes.
"Step two...step two...baojin...baojin..." After calming down, Ning Hutou stretched out his trembling palm and put it on his The tips of their noses suddenly retracted, and then he stretched out his hands to touch their chests without giving up, only to find that their hearts had stopped beating. At this time, he collapsed on the ground, his hands not stopping. After beating the ground and crying loudly, Ning Hu calmed down after venting his anger.
I know I have to cheer up because there are still people waiting for me at home.
After thinking about it, he got up and picked up the fallen weapon as a tool, and started digging to bury the two brothers. He also moved a smoother stone slab, took out a dagger and carved on the stone "Brother Step Two, Tomb of Baojin" "The person who erected the tomb: Ning Hutou" stood in front of the two brothers' tombs.
He also brought a newly killed roe deer from a short distance away, chopped off the head of the deer, knelt down in front of the brothers' monument, bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang the head, brother Baojin, don't worry, your family I will take good care of them. If you break this oath, you will not die well." After saying that, he stood up, collected the scattered things, and began to look for a way out of here.
It is said that Ning Tao and Ning Feng were carrying firewood and driving the big oxen on their way back. Suddenly the earth shook wildly, and a large hole was torn in the flat ground. Ning Tao was unable to dodge and was swallowed by the crack.
Ning Feng was so frightened that he cried loudly when he saw this situation. As a young man, he watched his brother fall into the crack but was helpless, so he just stood on the edge of the crack and kept crying.
It is said that Ning Tao fell into the crack. Apart from the initial panic, he then calmed down. Looking at the current situation, he found that he was caught in the middle of the crack, unable to get up or down. He could also hear the cry of his younger brother Ning Feng. Calm down Ning Tao came down and called to his brother above: "A Feng, I'm not dead. I'm here. I'm stuck. Go find someone to save me."
Ning Feng, who was crying, heard his brother's cry and quickly stood up and stretched his head to look at his brother in the crack. "A Feng, I'm stuck here. Find someone quickly to save me."
"Okay... okay, brother, just wait, I'll find someone right now." After saying that, the panicked Ning Feng ran away, running frantically towards home.
But what he didn't know was that Ning Tao fell heavily into the depths of the crack as soon as his front foot went far.
Ning Tao, who fell to the bottom of the crack, happened to fall on a stone platform with mysterious patterns and fainted.
I saw some mysterious patterns carved on the stone platform. Ning Tao's blood flowed along the stone platform between these patterns, flowing on it like water, and then absorbed it all; then it emitted a burst of yellow and black light, As if there was an invisible force, Ning Tao was lifted up, and the black light emitted repaired Ning Tao's injuries.
After a while, Ning Tao, who was covered in injuries just now and had several broken bones, slowly recovered. Except for some dust on his body and tattered clothes, no trace of scars could be seen anymore.
Ning Tao, who had recovered from his injuries, slowly landed on the stone platform, but at this time, the stone platform was still emitting bursts of strange light.
At this time, Ning Tao, who had just passed out, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the surrounding environment with a strange expression.
When he found himself lying on a strange stone platform emitting yellow and black light, he jumped down in panic and looked at this mysterious thing with slight horror. After a while, Ning Tao calmed down and looked around himself. He found that except for dirty spots and torn clothes, his whole body was intact. This made him secretly surprised, "What is this situation?"
The little Ning Tao had great doubts in his heart. When he stared at the stone platform in front of him, he, who had been smart since childhood, still didn't know that all of this was the result of this stone platform that emitted a strange light.
"Did I encounter some artifact?"
In villages with little information, storytellers and opera artists are their best teachers for understanding the outside world. Ning Tao can't get rid of his curiosity and yearning for the gods and monsters.
Ning Tao thought that he might have encountered something terrible, and his curiosity drove him to reach out and touch the stone platform. However, as soon as Ning Tao touched the stone platform with his hand, something unexpected happened again.
The stone platform instantly emitted a brighter light than before, and the light disappeared. The original stone platform disappeared, and a pure white jade pendant with strange patterns fell into Ning Tao's hand. Ning Tao, who had been frightened and sat on the ground when he saw the accident, was regretting his impulse, and then excitement overflowed throughout his body.
Ning Tao secretly thought with some excitement, "Is this the recognition of the owner of the artifact? Hahaha, am I going to become the legendary immortal with great magical powers?"
Then he stared at the jade pendant, which was not very good-looking but had a magical charm, with a pair of big black eyes. He kept playing with it in his hands.
After holding the small jade pendant in his hand and playing with it for a while, a falling rock suddenly rolled down next to him, and Ning Tao, who was obsessed with the jade pendant, suddenly woke up.
Thinking of his current situation, Ning Tao, who was originally full of excitement, immediately became sad again. He raised his frowning face and looked at the high cliff.
At this time, he couldn't be happy anymore. The helpless Ning Tao thought, "Such a big earthquake, I don't know how my father and mother are. I hope they are safe and come to save me quickly."
Helpless, Ning Tao stood up and patted the dust on his body. Looking at the jade pendant he just got in his hand, he suddenly felt that it didn't smell good at all. He tore off a bunch of cloth strips from his clothes that were almost broken into strips and tied them tightly with the jade pendant. Hang it around your neck.
