The primeval forest is indeed a primeval forest. Very few people have set foot in it. It is spread all over the forest, with continuous rolling mountains, branches and leaves. There are no roads and no human habitation here, but it is full of dangers everywhere.
Behemoths measuring tens or even hundreds of feet grow extremely densely here, blocking out the sky and the sun. Rotten leaves are densely covered layer after layer, emitting a strange musty smell.
Flying mosquitoes as big as a thumb constantly shuttled through the forest, ferocious and cold-blooded pythons hid under the leaves, poisonous spiders the size of fists formed a huge web to intercept them in the air, and there were also extremely poisonous centipedes. There were scorpions with a pale blue cold light on their tails, large toads with disgusting pus all over their bodies, and ferocious beasts running wildly on the ground.
Along the way, whenever he saw these terrifying poisonous insects and ferocious beasts, Long Chen would always retreat quickly with the power of his spiritual thoughts. It didn't mean that he couldn't defeat these things. If nothing else, just seeing the toad's disgusting pus made his scalp numb. There are also poisonous insects and flying ants. One or two are not scary. What is scary is the group of them.
Long Chen relied on his mind power to avoid the poisonous insects and flew all the way. Along the way, Long Chen killed many monster-level ferocious beasts and poisonous pythons. There was no time to absorb the beast's essence, and none of the alien beast-level ones were seen.
No matter what, in this wilderness, the most important thing is survival, and we must find a temporary habitat. But where should I establish my temporary residence? There are poisonous insects flying and pythons circling everywhere. If you are not careful, you may be bitten by these poisonous insects and pythons. As for how poisonous the poisonous insects are, you can imagine just by looking at these colorful colors.
Long Chen walked for a long time in the dark and terrifying forest, and finally came across a holy land. It is indeed a holy place. It is the only place in the whole forest where you can look up at the stars. At this time, the bright moon is in the sky and the silver plate is high.
Standing at the entrance, I saw the waterfall pouring down the opposite cliff like a silver ribbon. A cave halfway up the cliff could be vaguely seen through the waterfall. There is a large open space in front of it, covered with green bamboos, but in the center of the holy land is a towering giant tree, whose true height cannot be seen. At the end of the waterfall is a clear water pool.
There is a faint wisp of strange fragrance permeating the air. This fragrance is no better than the scent of flowers and herbs that I have ever smelled. I don’t know why, but I can’t see any poisonous insects entering here. There are only kingfishers flying high. Therefore, if there is a saying here, it can be said to be a paradise for birds. This situation is very strange.
Long Chen climbed up a few steps and went up to the cave. Walking into the cave, after passing through a relatively narrow road, it suddenly became clear that it looked like a stone chamber. What's even more strange is that there are torches burning neatly at both ends, illuminating the surrounding area. Looking at the middle of the stone room, there are stone tables, benches, some daily furniture and beds.
"Strange, why are these torches burning? Is there someone else here?"
"These are all man-made, and they must have been inhabited by people before. You can touch those stone tables and benches. It must have been a long time ago." As he spoke, Mirage transformed into a black panther from the Void Swallowing Ring.
After hearing what he said, Long Chen walked over and touched the stone table and bench. They were covered with dust. It seemed that no one had lived there for a long time, but how could he explain the torch? Long Chen walked over and took a closer look, only to find that the root of each torch was inserted into a deep groove. Inside the groove was a bottomless black oily liquid, which exuded bursts of fuel smell.
"That's it." Long Chen finally understood the reason why the torch kept burning, and also learned that someone had indeed lived here. The thick dust on the stone tables and benches proved this. But when was this person here? But it cannot be verified.
"Haha, it seems you took advantage of me."
"Did I get a bargain, or thanks to my adoptive father's blessing." Long Chen followed Mirage's words and started to flatter him.
"However, there are some puzzling places. For example, there is a waterfall outside. Logically speaking, it should be very humid here, but it is very dry here."
"Yes, everywhere I have passed since entering the forest has been full of poisonous insect pythons, but here alone I have not found a single poisonous insect around."
"There are some things in the world that are far beyond our ability to understand. Maybe there are some treasures here that cause this strange phenomenon to occur."
"Heavenly materials and earthly treasures? What are they?" Long Chen's eyes lit up when he heard about heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
"What? You just want to look for heavenly materials and earthly treasures? Where are you in your cultivation? What kind of heavenly materials and earthly treasures do you want to find? You must know that wherever there are rare treasures, there must be strong beasts above the level of monsters to guard them. , Monster! At the very least, it is a human cultivation level above the Red Sun Realm, so you should obediently improve your skills first, otherwise there will be no need to talk." Mirage took advantage of the situation and poured a splash of cold water on it.
Long Chen stuck out his tongue and tidied up the stone room honestly, and then he began to set up obstacles and the like at the entrance of the cave. He also knew that no matter what kind of beast it was, the thing he was most afraid of was fire, so he used the fuel in the stone chamber to light an everlasting fire around the entrance of the cave.
"That tree?" Long Chen looked up at the towering ancient tree.
I saw that towering sacred tree, towering into the clouds, but I couldn't see where its end was? The sacred trees are vaguely towering into the clouds, shining faintly in the dark night sky. Could they be luminous insects?
Long Chen couldn't draw a conclusion, so he released his soul, but found that the soul was suppressed by an invisible force and could only hover in a small space of ten meters in radius. Incomparable to the outside world, the soul could stretch to dozens of miles. outside. Long Chen was even more surprised.
Mirage looked up at this towering ancient tree, thinking deeply. "This ancient tree towers high in the clouds, with stars twinkling in the clouds. Could it be the ancient sacred tree Jianmu recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas? Legend has it that Jianmu is a sacred tree that reaches the sky and is a ladder connecting heaven and earth?"
Long Chen looked at the pensive mirage and asked, "Father, what are you doing? You are so absorbed."
Mirage retracted his thoughts. He did not tell Long Chen his doubts. He was afraid that his competitive personality would cause unnecessary trouble, so he changed the subject: "You have been away for two days and two nights, don't you feel hungry?"
"Okay, I'm going to light the fire now." Long Chen had already made sufficient preparations when he arrived, including firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, etc.
"But your cooking skills are really bad." Mirage shook his head and said.
"I can't help it. I used to live without enough to eat. It would be nice to be able to fill my stomach at that time." Long Chen made a face.
"Okay, my father will teach you how to cook a few daily dishes today."
Under Mirage's guidance, Long Chen learned how to make several dishes. Youdao means people are like iron, and rice is like steel. This is the true ability to survive.
After a tiring day, the two of them took a rest. This place was really a holy place. Mosquitoes, odors, etc. were everywhere outside, but here there was a faint fragrance. Long Chen slept until dawn.
