Chapter 519: Exploring Wudu Mountain
Half a month later.
Lin Tianming’s figure appeared on a bare mountain in the central and southern part of Huangyang Kingdom.
At this time, Lin Tianming stood on the top of the mountain, his sharp eyes looking through the thick clouds and mist at the vast mountains and rivers that were dimly visible in the distance.
Looking along his line of sight, it was an endless stretch of mountains and rivers, with a large number of peaks and valleys intersecting and connecting, rivers passing through the mountains, and swamps and wetlands scattered at the foot of the mountains.
In such a rarely visited place, there are also many gloomy and dark canyons, the specific depth of which cannot be seen at a glance.
Looking back, Lin Tianming took out the map given by Zhou Yunxiao again and compared the scene before him.
Soon, he made a judgment that the endless mountains, rivers and dense forests ahead were exactly the destination of his trip - Wudu Mountain.
At this time, Lin Tianming looked happy, and his faint smile covered up the fatigue he felt from traveling for half a month.
In the past half month, he has been traveling non-stop and finally arrived here smoothly.
During this period, he met many foundation-building monks on the road who were heading in this direction just like him. They were probably also preparing to go to the Five Poison Mountains for training.
It’s just that Lin Tianming’s spiritual consciousness is powerful. If he doesn’t want to expose his whereabouts, even the monks in the early stage of the Golden Core may have difficulty finding his traces.
At this time, Lin Tianming looked at the scene in front of him and did not continue moving in the direction of Wudu Mountain.
He planned to find a place to rest for two days, and after adjusting his condition, he would go to Wudu Mountain to find out.
After making up his mind, Lin Tianming turned around and disappeared directly.
After a while, he appeared in a small valley.
It took him less than half a quarter of an hour to dig out a simple cave here and quickly walked in.
Two days later, Lin Tianming walked out of the valley full of energy and covered up the temporary cave.
After wiping away his traces, Lin Tianming headed towards Wudu Mountain.
Going west for more than two hundred miles, he came to a mountain peak.
According to the records on the map, this is already the outskirts of Wudu Mountain.
He stood there and looked inside, only to see lush mountain forests with lush vegetation and rugged terrain.
Such a picture may seem ordinary.
However, the difference between this scene and other places is still quite obvious. At least in terms of the richness of the spiritual energy, it is obviously much richer than other places.
This characteristic is very normal, because in the world of immortality, the more monsters and beasts live in a place, the stronger the aura is, and the more treasures can be born.
In fact, the mountain gates of many large and small clans were the territory of monsters and even their main lairs a long time ago.
When those monster beasts are killed by human monks, they will use the help of formations to gather the surrounding aura together.
After a long period of gathering spirits, coupled with some spirit stones, or special treasure improvements, those Shanmen clan lands have gradually been cultivated into cave heaven blessed lands.
However, this process is generally very long and requires a lot of resources.
Especially for those forces that have been inherited for thousands of years, it took dozens or even hundreds of generations of hard work for the Shanmen tribe to form a certain scale and high-quality Cave Paradise.
The Five Poison Mountains cover a huge area, and many monsters once lived here. It is normal to have such a strong spiritual energy.
It is even possible that hundreds of thousands of years ago, the intensity of spiritual energy here was several times higher than it is now.
Now, after waves of monks come to explore, the number of monsters in Wudu Mountain continues to decrease, and many treasures have been looted by human monks.
This long-term search has caused the area of Wudu Mountain to gradually shrink, and the intensity of spiritual energy is also not as strong as before.
But even so, the aura of this peripheral place is still good, comparable to the mountain gate of a small foundation-building family.
In addition to the difference in the intensity of spiritual energy, the biggest feature of Wudu Mountain is that there is always a layer of poisonous mist shrouding the entire huge area of Wudu Mountain.
The area outside is fine. Ordinary foundation-building monks won't notice this difference unless they feel it carefully.
But Lin Tianming was at the Golden Core stage, and his spiritual consciousness was even more powerful. He also had sharp weapons such as the Colorful Eye to assist him. As soon as he entered this area, he felt a faint scent in the air. Green water mist.
The basic characteristics of Wudu Mountain are basically known to everyone in Huangyang Kingdom today.
Before coming here, Lin Tianming collected a lot of information and knew a lot about Wudu Mountain.
According to the information collected, there are many dangers in the depths of Wudu Mountain, of which the threat from monsters and poisonous insects is only one of them. In addition, the large poisonous mist in the deep areas is also a great threat.
This kind of poisonous mist is very difficult to deal with. If a small amount is absorbed, the monks can rely on their own resistance to resist it, or use their skills to force it out.
But once excessive intake, it is easy to lose your mind and become a walking zombie.
If that were the case, it would only be a matter of time before he died if he traveled around in this dangerous Five Poison Mountain.
The concentration of poisonous mist in the periphery is too low and can be basically ignored at present.
However, after reaching the depths, the concentration of poisonous mist increases significantly, and it is said that extremely large groups of poisonous mist will appear wandering around.
You must know that the area of these wandering poisonous mist groups is not small, and the poisonous mist inside is even more toxic. If it wanders randomly, it will be traceless.
If you are unlucky enough to encounter it and cannot avoid it in time, it will be difficult for even the golden elixir monk to resist.
As for the general foundation-building monks who encounter them, the consequences needless to say, it is definitely a narrow escape from death.
Even before coming here, Lin Tianming had heard the rumors.
It is said that more than two thousand years ago, there was a legend that golden elixir monks were surrounded by poisonous fog and were finally trapped and died alive in it.
Although it is a long time ago and the specific authenticity needs to be verified, Lin Tianming still dare not be careless.
For this reason, he was fully prepared. If nothing could be done, he would rather give up this exploration trip.
As for the remains of dried jade grass and golden elixir, we will look for them slowly in the future.
In short, safety comes first, and he always keeps this in mind.
Knowing this, Lin Tianming looked serious, then patted the storage bag, and a green pill appeared in his hand.
This elixir is called Antitoxic Pill, and it is a common elixir among third-level elixirs.
The value of this elixir is average compared to other third-level elixirs, but its effect is very good and can resist the erosion of various poisons.
As for the origin of this elixir, it came from Ye Pinghai.
When he was at the Lin family, he specifically asked for a few coins just in case of emergency.
But now that we are exploring the Five Poison Mountains, we can use this elixir.
With the help of this elixir and his powerful energy and blood, dealing with ordinary poisonous mist should not be a problem. In addition, if he fights with poisonous monsters or poisonous insects, this elixir can also resist the invasion of poison, and it can also play a big role when he is injured.
Under such circumstances, these anti-toxic pills are very effective, and it is perfect to take them now.
So, Lin Tianming didn't waste any time and swallowed the anti-toxic pill in one gulp.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Tianming jumped up and headed towards the interior of Wudu Mountain.
As he went deeper, as expected, the deeper he went, the thicker the poisonous mist became.
Lin Tianming walked forward cautiously for several days, probably hundreds of miles at least.
Among them, he has seen a lot of landforms, from swamps and wetlands to peaks and valleys, as well as various abyss and ravines. It can be said that there are all kinds of strange geographical features.
At the same time, he also accidentally encountered two waves of foundation-building monks who were practicing treasure hunting together, but he did not show up. He only observed for a moment and then left quietly without alerting anyone at all.
Immediately afterwards, he searched alone in Wudu Mountain, during which he also found some first-level elixir materials and some low-level monsters.
For these low-level elixirs and monsters, with today's mentality, naturally I can't arouse the slightest interest, and I am too lazy to waste time.
So, he continued on his journey without anyone noticing, groping all the way into the depths of Wudu Mountain.
Another half month has passed.
At this time, Lin Tianming cautiously came to a canyon deep in Wudu Mountain.
At this time, he was standing on the top of a big tree, his whole body hidden among the dense leaves.
When he looked at the canyon in front of him, there was a look of confusion on his face.
Speaking of which, he had already entered the Wudu Mountain range for more than half a month without knowing it.
Judging from his traveling speed, the search efficiency along the way was quite high, and he visited many places.
Now, he knows a lot more about Wudu Mountain and is used to the environment here.
For more than half a month, Lin Tianming searched very carefully, but still saw no sign of dried jade grass.
Now, this place has entered the depths of Wudu Mountain, and the poisonous gas content in the surrounding air is obviously several times higher than outside.
At the same time, as he went deeper, the monsters he saw were generally of a higher grade. Although there were few monsters he encountered in the past few days, they were all at least mid-second grade. level.
In this case, he took out the map and compared it, and he was extremely sure that this was the depth of Wudu Mountain.
And in his aimless search, he came to the vicinity of the golden elixir ruins recorded on the map.
It was surprising, because he had no intention of looking for the cave ruins first.
His original goal was to find the dried jade grass first, and the remains of the Jindan Cave were placed last.
Who would have thought that after searching aimlessly, he would come to the large area recorded on the map.
In his eyes, this may be God's will!
It’s just that the location of the Jindan Cave ruins is relatively unclear, and the search area is quite large. It will take a lot of effort to find it.
However, no matter what, since we are already here, we will try to search again.
With this purpose, Lin Tianming stayed here temporarily.
After some exploration with his spiritual consciousness, he quickly felt the interference of the poisonous mist. The range that can now be covered is estimated to be 70 to 80% less than normal.
Fortunately, Lin Tianming's own spiritual consciousness is strong enough, and with the assistance of the colorful eyes, the area he can control with his sight is quite considerable.
However, even so, Lin Tianming has been extra cautious recently. His forward speed has slowed down, and he encounters some second-level monsters or second-level elixir materials, so he has no idea of taking action. .
This is also done to try to avoid jumping the gun too early and getting yourself into unnecessary trouble.
It was this way of doing things that made his journey quite smooth, and he finally arrived here.
At this time, he looked at the bottomless canyon in front of him and frowned, seeming to find something different.
Looking along his line of sight, the canyon in front of him looked particularly quiet. Peaks stood in three directions, and a wide underground river extended from the bottom of the valley.
If you look at it this way, there is nothing special about it.
But he used his colorful eyes to observe and found that the canyon was extremely deep, the poisonous mist over the entire canyon was extremely thick, and the color of the river was completely pitch black.
It is this characteristic that appears in the depths of the dangerous Five Poison Mountains, but any attentive person can also detect a hint of unusual smell.
Lin Tianming has always been more attentive, taking every step with extra care and always being prepared to escape.
Now that he saw this scene, he was hesitant and hesitant to go in and search.
The reason for this is because he understands in his heart that the more dangerous a place, there may be extraordinary opportunities.
Looking at the geographical environment of this canyon, it does seem like an untouched land, and the probability of finding treasures is far greater than in other places.
In order to find the dried jade grass and the ruins of the Jindan Cave, it is obviously unrealistic to say that we can get it without taking some risks.
And he has been to many places during this period and spent a lot of time, but he has never gained anything.
If this continues, it may be difficult to find traces of dried jade grass.
In this case, he naturally has to change his strategy, at least go deeper, and when he encounters some unique places, he must try his best to find them.
What's more, this place is not far from the ruins of Jindan Cave recorded on the map. Both are one of his goals. No matter what the angle, he must try it.
Although such a change will increase some risks, in order to leave no regrets on this trip, I can only bite the bullet and give it a try.
When he thought of this, Lin Tianming no longer hesitated and was ready to take the risk and take a look.
Having made up his mind, Lin Tianming no longer hesitated. The green rainbow sword in his hand flashed with light, and he launched an attack and flew towards the inside of the canyon.
“Boom…”
The silver-white sword energy rushed into the canyon, and echoes soon came.
After waiting for a long time, Lin Tianming stared at the inside of the canyon, hoping to see any movement.
However, when the sword energy entered, there was only an echo, and there was no sign of any monsters or poisonous insects at all.
I saw that there was nothing dangerous in the past half a quarter of an hour.
Lin Tianming breathed a sigh of relief, then he jumped forward and flew in the direction of the entrance of the canyon.
