at night.
Shen Hao didn't let anyone set up a small tent for him anymore. It was impossible for him to sleep tonight, because as night fell, the weirdness here became even more shocking.
The first is Yin Qi. Unlike other places, the Yin Qi here increases at an alarming rate at night, doubling up. It is also extremely active and actively wants to penetrate into your body. This situation would not occur even at night in the mass graves. There are only two possibilities for this situation, either millions of living beings have died here, or it is a naturally extremely dark place.
Shen Hao felt that the former was impossible, but the latter was difficult to explain, because the terrain of the extremely yin place was easy to identify, and it would not suddenly jump out and become an extremely yin place like here, with no trace of the evolution of the terrain. nothing.
In addition, Jingxi is said to be a vast territory, but after all, the old Jing Dynasty has ruled here for thousands of years. If there is a very dark place, how can no one know about it?
So how did you get here?
It's not just the Yin Qi that's weird, but the surrounding dangers are also beginning to appear.
They are not snakes, wolves or other beasts, but bugs, groups of bugs that look like mosquitoes. They are slender and have sharp mouthparts, but each one is about the size of a walnut and flies very fast. If you are not careful, you will be killed. It will stick to your body and bite you hard. And it's very toxic.
In just half an hour at night, five ordinary soldiers were bitten by such mosquitoes and fell into a coma due to poisoning. Fortunately, the accompanying doctors were very skilled, otherwise these five soldiers would not have been able to survive.
Finally, the monk opened the Qi shield, and the ordinary soldiers were covered in mud and waved torches to block the threat of these flying insects.
But no one knew what kind of bug it was.
In addition to this kind of bug, there are many equally vicious bugs, which either emerge from the ground or hang down from the trees. They are almost impossible to guard against. In the end, at dawn, they are bitten by poisonous bugs and lose the ability to move. There were eight people.
"Make stretchers, deploy twenty soldiers to send these eight people out, and as soon as they leave this strange place, use the sign of reinforcements to get people to pick them up, but be sure to tell the people coming not to enter here rashly, and we will talk about everything after we come out. "
The poisoned person cannot stay here any longer. After dawn, those nasty bugs don't know where to hide for the time being. Taking this opportunity, they quickly take the injured out. At the same time, after a lot of trouble last night, Shen Hao also understood that this place is not suitable for ordinary people. Come on, if you are not a monk, the risk is too high. It just so happens that we can take this opportunity to let some ordinary soldiers out to avoid casualties.
When the wounded started to return, Shen Hao also ordered to continue the march. Today he hoped to increase the forward speed and strive to reach the red point at noon, and then return to the location where he camped yesterday before nightfall. After all, I have stayed here for one night and it is relatively "familiar", so there are more uncertainties in a strange place.
However, Shen Hao still underestimated the road ahead.
"Sir, another brother in the front team was injured. His skin was scratched by a poisonous thorn. He has fainted now."
This is the fourth soldier to fall in half a day, and three of them are monks.
Poison, poison is everywhere.
Not only insects, but also plants, there are even various strange creatures that Shen Hao has never heard of before that will jump out and want to poison you.
However, although the danger is increasing exponentially, this place is a real treasure.
"Master Shen, along the way, the three of us have known no less than thirty kinds of medicinal materials. They are all good alchemy-level medicines. Although they are all poison-type medicines, they are extremely precious. And those poisons are not simple. They are probably all capable of A good thing for medicine. Look over there, that big black tree is the rare Chen Yin wood! It’s a good material for refining weapons!
It would definitely be a great contribution if we reported this place! "
It has to be said that people are so optimistic, and they are thinking about how to get benefits when they are in danger. Moreover, the purpose of this trip is not medicinal materials and weapon refining materials, but the source of plague. Shen Hao glanced at the doctor and ignored him.
"Keep going, pay attention to the road signs along the way." Shen Hao continued to lead the team forward. As for how many "treasures" there were along the way, he believed that the three dazzled doctors would record everything.
In the afternoon, Shen Hao finally reached the red dot on the map. It seems that it is impossible to return to the place where we stayed last night to spend the night today.
"Here..." Shen Hao frowned and looked around. Except for a few extremely huge rocks, there was nothing else around. I don't understand why a red dot is specifically marked here.
"Extend two miles, search carefully, and pay attention to safety."
Three doctors also followed to find good things. Only Shen Hao couldn't stop looking at the five huge strange rocks in the middle.
The five boulders are at least three feet high. I don’t know how deep they are buried under the ground. The appearance of each stone is very strange. It looks like a statue but not a human shape. The outline is also very vague, but it looks like something natural. It means uncanny workmanship.
After looking at them one by one, there was nothing special, except that the stones felt a bit like jade in texture. But Shen Hao still felt that these five stones were strange. Because the terrain here is relatively flat and there are no protruding hills around it, where did these five huge rocks come from? It can't grow in the soil, right?
After turning around for a few times, Shen Hao walked to the middle of the five stones and looked around. He frowned slightly and found that the distribution of the five stones seemed to be regular, showing the shape of the horns of a five-pointed star.
"Is this a formation?"
It's a pity that Shen Hao knows very little about formations. He only knows how to use a few ordinary formations. Moreover, he didn't bring any formation masters with him this time, so Shen Hao couldn't tell any clues.
However, the three doctors who had been patrolling around came back. They saw Shen Hao studying the huge stones and came over to join in the fun.
"Master Shen has done research on Qi refining materials?"
"No, I just feel that these stones are not simple."
"Haha, it's not bad. These stones should be the original stones of Yin Jade. If you are lucky, you can get a relatively complete Yin Jade. And it seems that the texture of these stones is pretty good. Well, there must be someone willing to spend it. It’s a big gamble.”
"Yin jade... rough stone?"
"What? Don't you know, Mr. Shen? Haha, the people in our alchemy room have more contact with the people in the arsenal. I also learned these from them. I may not be right, but these pieces are all Yin Jade rough stones. It can’t be wrong.”
If Shen Hao remembered correctly, he had a piece of Yin Jade in his storage bag, but he did not expect that the original stone of Yin Jade looked like this. However, Yin Jade seems to be a material for refining weapons. Are these five stones really related to the formation?
