Chapter 23: Snake Cave, Xiaoqing's Power
Fu Changsheng took off his invisibility cloak, and Cai Xiangu came over immediately. Seeing that there was no one around, she immediately stuffed the purple-horned deer cub into Fu Changsheng's arms:
"Thanks to Patriarch Fu for his kindness, my husband and I will definitely be grateful to him in the future."
Without saying anything more, he left in a hurry.
Fu Changsheng looked at the purple-horned deer in his arms. This was an unexpected surprise. When he helped Chen Dazhui and his wife, his original intention was just to prevent the Li family's evil plan from succeeding.
He was originally going to return to the mountain, but turned around and walked towards Changliu River.
If we talk about the person in the tribe who has the most talent in taming spirit beasts, it must be the fourth sister Fu Changli.
Arrived at Mount Raymond.
Fu Changli was so adoring holding the purple-horned deer cub that it seemed like he liked these spiritual beasts from the bottom of his heart. Fu Changsheng smiled and gave him a few instructions.
When turning back and heading down the mountain.
The mechanical voice came to my mind again:
"Ding"
"You brought back a purple-horned deer cub for the tribe, and you received 20 contribution points."
Fu Changsheng was delighted. In this way, the family contribution points that had been emptied were increased to 20 again, which could be exchanged for ten pieces of information.
He immediately said:
"Exchange Information"
hum!
A strong yellow light surged across the panel.
Then lines of text appeared:
[1: Fu Molan has mastered the skills of a first-level intermediate-grade talisman maker and can break through to a first-level upper-grade talisman maker at any time.]
[2: Liu Qiaofu from Nanyang town went to Qingniu Mountain to chop wood. He did not return overnight. When his family went up the mountain to look for him the next day, they found that he had died of poisoning, presumably from a venomous snake bite.]
“Stop exchanging!”
Fu Changsheng's eyes fell on the second piece of information.
If I guessed correctly.
The place where Liu the Woodcutter got into trouble should be near the snake cave.
He immediately returned to the clan mountain and gave the red marrow rice he had purchased to his third brother Fu Changli. He also took a dozen first-level mid-grade talismans from Molan. Seeing that he looked worried, Molan hurriedly said:
"Master, I have now reached the third level of Qi training, and I am proficient in wind blade techniques and entanglement techniques. If there is anything I can help with, please just let me know."
Born and raised in a brothel, Molan does not want to be a flower in a greenhouse. She feels that only by constantly enhancing her own strength can she establish herself in life, and all this naturally requires practical experience.
Fu Changsheng thought about his trip to the devil’s cave ten years later.
He immediately said:
"Okay, come with me to Nanyang Town."
"Yes, master."
Molan's whole appearance suddenly became brighter.
After coming down from Luofeng Mountain.
The two arrived at the small town of Nanyang. The mayor heard the news and came to greet them from afar. However, Fu Changsheng did not exchange pleasantries with him, but said directly:
"Where did you find Liu Qiaofu's body yesterday?"
Bring this up.
Mayor Fu suddenly became alert and sighed:
"Chief, I was just thinking of finding time to report to you about Liu Qiaofu's death from poison. Since last month, not only Liu Qiaofu, but three or four other tribesmen who went up the mountain have died from the same poison as Liu Qiaofu. The wounds are obviously from poisonous snake bites. We sent snake catchers to search the mountain, but found no traces. So half a month ago, I ordered that no one was allowed to go up Qingniu Mountain. But Liu Qiaofu secretly went up the mountain by himself. Alas, he died young."
in this case.
The Snake Cave really exists.
He went to see the body of Liu Qiaofu, which had not yet been buried, and saw that the bite marks on his neck were very similar to those of a silver-spotted venomous snake. After asking for the specific address of the death, he asked the mayor to take him to Qingniu Mountain.
It is said that Qingniu Mountain was formed from a divine bull that fell to the ground in ancient times, and the outline of the mountain is also very similar.
Reached the Qiuyang tree halfway up the mountain.
The mayor pointed to an old tree and said:
"Chief, when we found Woodcutter Liu, he was leaning against this old tree."
Fu Changsheng checked and found that there was nothing unusual about the old tree, and there was no sign of silver-spotted poisonous snakes hidden inside. He also asked about the location of the other tribesmen who had died in Qingniu Mountain.
the strange thing is.
They all died leaning against this old tree:
“Is there something strange about this old tree?”
Fu Changsheng asked the mayor to go down the mountain first.
at this time.
A strong wind blew in the forest, and the leaves around were rustling.
But the leaves of the old tree in front of him didn't sway at all, just like they did half an hour ago.
"I see!"
This old tree is just a decoy.
Fu Changsheng took a few steps back, then suddenly slammed into the old tree. The pain he imagined from hitting the wall did not come, but instead a feeling of weightlessness. He looked down and found himself falling into a valley.
He waved his sleeves quickly.
He grabbed a green vine and swung down.
When landing.
I found that Molan had also followed in.
Molan looked at the situation in the valley and was stunned:
"Master, you really have a keen eye. You can actually see the entrance to this valley."
In the valley.
The aura is compelling.
It is only slightly inferior to their clan’s Luofeng Mountain.
but.
The valley was gray and bare.
It is said that in a place with lush spiritual energy, not to mention spiritual herbs everywhere, at least the vegetation will be much more lush. Fu Changsheng looked down at his feet and saw wisps of gray gas emanating from the soil underground:
"Is this miasma?!"
Fu Changsheng was shocked.
They didn't have the antidote, but they couldn't find a way out for the time being:
"Oops!"
Fu Changsheng looked around and when he and Molan were looking for an exit, the little green snake hidden in his sleeve suddenly made a hissing sound.
A flash of green light.
It jumped out from the sleeve and stood upright. Only then did Fu Changsheng discover that the broken tail of the little green snake seemed to have grown a lot longer, obviously because it had devoured the corpses of Li Changtai and the green wolf demon.
"hiss~"
The little green snake held its head high.
The snake's tongue moves in and out.
However, the miasma under the ground seemed to be summoned and quickly gathered towards it, penetrating into every part of its body from all directions.
Fu Changsheng retreated again and again.
In a blink of an eye.
A strange phenomenon occurred throughout the valley.
But the little green snake turned into a small gray vortex, which swept up the miasma coming out of the soil and lasted for about an hour.
When there is no more gray miasma rising from the soil,
The little green snake then retracted its tongue reluctantly, and with a flash of green light, it retracted into Fu Changsheng's sleeve again.
Molan, who was standing by, looked on with envy:
"Master, your pet is really amazing!"
Of course.
Xiaoqing has the blood of a dragon.
Fu Changsheng felt a sense of pride like an old father.
Without the miasma, the land turned black again.
The valley that was originally obscured by miasma came into view, but on the southwest side of the valley, there was a small cave. Listening carefully, there was the sound of flowing water coming from the cave.
Fu Changsheng changed his mind.
Then I understood.
If I am not mistaken, the silver-spotted viper is hiding in this cave. As the heavy rain came, the water in the cave overflowed and appeared in the town along the underground river, which caused the snake disaster.
