When I spoke, my tone and expression were very relaxed.
This also infected everyone, and they calmed down, and the slightly nervous mood just now disappeared.
Wang Lei smiled.
"I just saw Lao Lu being in trouble, and I was subconsciously worried. After all, there is only one person in our team who knows supernatural means. I was so excited that I was so nervous that I forgot that Brother Wu has this sea-fixing needle."
The other people also nodded.
Liu Gang smiled and handed a new towel to Lu Ping.
"Lao Lu, wipe it quickly."
"Thank you, Brother Gangzi."
Lu Ping took the towel and rubbed his face vigorously, only to find that the black ashes couldn't be wiped off at all - as if they had turned into ugly tattoos all over his head and face.
Even the wet water stains that splashed out could not be wiped away.
Lu Ping smiled bitterly.
"This...is indeed a magic spell cast by something. Is it some kind of wild monster?"
I laughed.
"It's not really an evil method. I feel like it's just a way to tease people and warn people."
With that said, I raised my hand and threw out a spell, flying towards Lu Ping.
call!
The talisman exploded above his head and turned into a ball of light Qi that descended and enveloped his body.
As a result, those black ashes and water stains disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
I continued.
"Generally, there are some guardian monsters near the more precious elixirs. Some may be because they are accompanied by the elixirs, and some may be because they want to wait for the elixirs to mature and eat them themselves. In either case, it means that the elixirs here are Extremely precious!”
"It stands to reason that the average Northeastern wild ginseng is indeed very precious to ordinary people in the secular world. But if it is placed in the world of supernatural cultivation and viewed from the perspective of elixirs, it is actually just ordinary - at least it cannot be protected by monsters. .”
"Then this means... it is very possible that something has changed in the place where wild ginseng grows. It is possible that more precious spiritual herbs and elixirs are mixed in it. Or, there is ginseng of extremely high age!"
After hearing my words, everyone's faces showed surprise.
Only the old hunter Yuan Changhai looked a little worried. He took a puff from the dry pipe in his hand and said in a deep voice.
"When Brother Wu said this, I did think of some weird legends that have been circulating among hunters and ginseng diggers in Changbai Mountain since ancient times. About the stick bird and the highly venomous snake Tuqiuzi..."
It is said that there are two kinds of animals near the wild ginseng in Changbai Mountain that have been around for a certain period of time - the stick bird and the earth ball!
The former is a strange bird that likes to live near ginseng. It can make magical sounds that can make people confused and in a trance. In the process of picking ginseng, casualties are prone to occur.
The latter is a highly venomous snake, and its nest is at the roots of the old ginseng, surrounding it. The earth ball itself is hidden under the branches and leaves of ginseng. If a ginseng picker is accidentally bitten by this highly venomous earth snake, he will probably have to report to the Palace of Hell within two or three minutes!
So Yuan Changhai was worried, could these two things become spirits? Became a monster! That would be troublesome.
Faced with his concerns, I explained.
"Old Uncle Yuan's guess is not impossible. But the person who attacked Brother Lu just now should not be these two things. Because I didn't feel strong demonic energy, but the grass and tree energy was stronger. But no matter what, , should not threaten me for the time being..."
In short, let’s go ahead and see it in action.
Out of caution, Wang Lei arranged for Feng Lingshuang, Li Shuiwang, and Liu Gang to stay where they were, in case something unexpected happened to us inside, and at least three of them could be used.
Maybe he was worried that I would think too much, so he said to me.
"Brother Wu, I'm not doubting your strength. It's just a habitual arrangement. I believe that as long as you are here, Brother Wu, you won't be able to reach that point."
I smiled and waved my hands.
"Brother Wang, you are the captain, so everything will be at your discretion. I am just here to mess with your team, haha. What's more, there is nothing wrong with being cautious. You should also be careful later, if there is really something evil inside. Things broke out, and fighting broke out, and I can't be 100% sure that I can take care of everyone."
He nodded.
"Brother Wu, don't worry, we understand."
I raised my hand and played a spell, suspended it in mid-air, and then flew in a certain direction...
"Let's go, everyone, follow. This spell can track the area with the strongest aura of heaven and earth nearby. It should coincide with the growth of wild ginseng."
Although Lu Ping estimated that he was only two to three hundred meters away from his destination, in this primeval forest, the light was dim and his vision was obscured. Without special guidance, he could go astray even very close!
He had spent too much energy just now, and he was probably being targeted, so I used a charm to guide him.
Lu Ping was slightly startled when he saw the talisman leading the way, and then smiled bitterly.
"Brother Wu can also use charms to guide the way? It's so easy to cast... I just really did my best."
I shook my head and said seriously.
"Brother Lu, you can't say that. Everyone has their own mysteries. Don't underestimate yourself."
Soon, we walked some distance further.
Suddenly, my spiritual sense stirred, and I sensed a hidden and obscure mana wave coming towards me—directly attacking the talisman paper that led the way!
oh?
The corners of my mouth curved slightly.
"Sure enough, it's here again?"
I waved my backhand - without using the talisman, I directly shot out a transparent Qi visible to the naked eye, and went straight towards the aura.
boom!
The two mana collided in mid-air, making an explosive sound and exploding into a group of transparent ripples like water waves. Small whirlwinds were set off, blowing the dead branches and leaves all around...
This magical scene made Wang Lei and others quickly increase their vigilance and hold weapons in their hands.
Immediately afterwards, another obscure breath came towards me, this time it went straight to my chest.
I was not afraid at all, and waved my hand to shoot out another stream of transparent Qi, intercepting and smashing the mana aura. A few traces were deliberately left behind, and then he punched out a piece of talisman paper with his other hand and inhaled the residual mana breath into it.
I put the index and middle fingers of my right hand together and pointed forward with force.
"Look for traces, there is nowhere to hide! Go!"
call……
The talisman immediately flew in a certain direction ahead - this was the source of the consecutive attacks on Lu Ping and me.
"I'll go there first, don't worry, just take your time."
After saying this, I immediately used the Qinggong footwork in my inner martial arts and quickly chased the talisman among the woods and trees.
Over there, the trees became slightly sparse, and the sunlight slanted down from the branches, casting a light golden halo over the forest, giving it a dreamy feel.
Huhuhu...
I didn't run very far when the surrounding environment suddenly changed drastically - all the scenes disappeared in an instant!
The woods and trees disappeared, and the sunlight disappeared.
It's dark all around!
It was like I was alone, trapped in eternal darkness.
