Chapter 63: Will the retreat continue?
“I once thought it was just a product of fantasy.” Chen Ziyan said with some regret.
What he didn’t tell Hu Bayi was that until he saw this message, he thought Baoxianghua was just a product of fantasy.
But the familiar words that appeared one after another told him that this thing might really exist.
"Master Chen, what is this Baoxianghua?" Wang Kaixuan heard the fear in Chen Ziyan's words and asked curiously.
"If you rule out the legendary factors, this Baoxianghua should be a giant light-concentrating plant born in the ground. It was once called the 'Fragment of the Sun' in ancient times. I don't know what its specific abilities are, but its fruit is It’s beyond human power.” Chen Ziyan revealed the information he knew.
Although he had read the brothers' story and knew something about Baoxianghua, his knowledge was still extremely limited.
“Fruit?” Hu Bayi thought about mentioning this thing in his message, and asked in confusion: “Is the fruit of Baoxianghua some kind of rare treasure?”
His first thought about this was that the fruit of the Baoxianghua was like chalcedony, possessing incredible power.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain why Ding Sitian went looking for this fruit.
Chen Ziyan recalled for a while and said: "I know a little bit about the fruit of Baoxianghua. It is said that the fruit looks like a huge crystal and has extremely powerful hallucinogenic abilities. There are even rumors that it can absorb Human consciousness builds up layers of dreams, sinking people's consciousness deeper and deeper, and finally being completely swallowed up."
"This is really evil!" Wang Kaixuan was stunned when he heard this. "No wonder Xiao Ding said not to continue exploring."
If it were to be a real battle, even if it was a terrifying thing, Wang Kaixuan would dare to greet it a few times.
But the ability to create illusions really hit his weakness, and it was the type he was least good at dealing with.
No matter how brave he is, it’s useless if he can’t touch others.
"Let's take a look at what's here first. Let's not talk about Baoxianghua. Its evil fruit alone is not something we can handle." Seeing that the two of them were in a low mood, Chen Ziyan naturally changed the topic.
He was completely unexpected to find Ding Sitian’s message here.
But Chen Ziyan didn’t want to provoke Baoxianghua at all. He knew that he was no match, so he didn’t want to just go up and kill her.
As for Ding Sitian’s question, Chen Ziyan felt that there must be information on the tarp that they had not unearthed.
It is better to start this aspect now and be more prudent.
Hu Bayi understood Chen Ziyan's intention and nodded: "Then let's check here first."
He also knew in his heart that it was useless to do anything now, it was too long.
If Ding Sitian succeeds in completing her plan, they will eventually meet one day. If she is buried in the seam of Yin and Yang, then they may not even be able to find the bones.
And listening to Chen Ziyan’s words, you know how dangerous the so-called Baoxianghua is. In this case, it is better to collect more clues and then decide what to do next.
It is said to be checking here, but apart from the two tents on this circular platform, there is only the square stone well in the center.
Arriving in front of the square stone well, Chen Ziyan once again confirmed the existence of Baoxianghua in the world the first moment he saw it.
Because on the inside of the stone well, every blue brick is engraved with the pattern of Baoxianghua, which corresponds to what Chen Ziyan knew.
In the primitive jungle of love, in addition to the tomb of the Empress Dowager of the Liao Dynasty in Niuxin Mountain, there is also the tomb of another Empress Dowager.
However, he had no intention of investigating. There was indeed something evil in the Queen Mother's tomb. It would be troublesome if he accidentally entered Baoxianghua's territory. Anyway, they had gained a lot from this trip, so there was no need to add any extra trouble.
In view of this, Chen Ziyan hid the matter in his heart and did not say a word.
He felt that Hu Bayi could be stable, but that was not the case for Wang Kaixuan.
If Hu Bayi hadn't stopped him just now, he probably wouldn't have known where he would have gone.
Wang Kaixuan didn't know that Chen Ziyan was slandering him in his heart. He took a flashlight and looked into the well and said, "It looks like there is something down here. I think I saw a small pool?"
Chen Ziyan also followed, but he not only saw the small pool of water, but also saw pairs of scarlet eyes emerging from the darkness.
At first, the owners of these eyes were still consciously avoiding the light, but as the number gradually increased, they were eventually exposed to the light of the flashlight.
Chen Ziyan and the others saw clearly now that the owners of these eyes were mice as big as domestic cats.
"This... how about we retreat." Hu Bayi just took one look and wanted to retreat.
Although there was no specific count, he felt that there must be thousands, if not ten thousand, of rats gathered down here. The three of them would just get a plate of snacks.
There are so many ants that they can bite an elephant to death.
What's more, since his grandfather's generation, the old Hu family has not been able to attack mice easily.
It was just a passive counterattack. If he really killed these rats below for no reason, he was afraid that his grandfather would come to him at night.
He must have scorned these things before, but the series of things that happened recently made Hu Bayi no longer believe it even if he wanted to.
The red cat that ran out of the coffin has now become Chen Ziyan’s trophy and is lying down in the camp.
Even the illusory soul has been experienced twice by himself.
As the saying goes, facts speak louder than words, so now he is in awe of these things.
"Just withdraw like this?" Chen Ziyan was a little reluctant.
The main reason is that he has wasted so much effort, but now the rewards have not arrived yet.
If the opponent is at the level of Baoxianghua, they will retreat, which is a force majeure factor.
But now these mice have become a roadblock, and they are somewhat unwilling to do so.
Although there are indeed a lot of rats down here, Chen Ziyan still has a way to deal with it, but it just takes some time.
There is not much else in the Gnaku, but the remaining ammunition is quite sufficient. They are still in an absolutely advantageous position, and they only need to shoot down with their guns.
Just when Chen Ziyan hesitated, they saw a little light rising slowly from the edge below, and then gradually spread to the entire space.
When the source of the light completely appeared, the bottom of the stone well was as bright as day!
It was only then that they saw clearly that the object that brought light turned out to be a luminous vine as thick as a bucket.
Seeing such a scene, a thought flashed through Chen Ziyan's mind and he quickly extinguished their flashlights.
