Chapter 153 Weird Place (25)
Quickly integrating the team, Lin Yuan, Shangguan Zhi and Zhang Ting formed a three-person team, and then moved in the assigned direction.
A hundred disciples seem to be a lot, but they are scattered across this vast plain, like sand blending into the desert, dissipating if you don't pay attention.
As far as the eye can see, the place is green, with huge watermelons growing in the melon fields, like an endless sea of melons.
The monks in the Qi refining stage could not use magic power to lift themselves up, but their physical fitness was three times that of mortals. The three of them were walking forward in the melon field like flying.
As they walk, they lay down luminous illusions behind them. These illusions will mark their tracks. If an accident occurs, others can follow the markers of the corresponding color and come to rescue.
The nearby melon fields are so huge that one wonders how the people in Shennong Valley deal with them.
Looking far into the distance, the whole world is green, and the only black is the stripes of watermelons, which look like snakes wandering in the melon fields.
Finally walked out of the melon field, Zhang Ting covered his mouth and said: "It's a bit disgusting after looking at watermelon for so long. I feel like I don't want to eat watermelon for a while."
Shang Guanzhi's expression was not the same. Very nice: "Me too, I keep looking at watermelons and I feel like I have turned into a watermelon."
Lin Yuan glanced at the two of them and felt that young people today seemed to be unable to endure hardship.
But if I think about it again, it’s normal.
Although they all appear to be monks who have achieved some success in Qi refining, they are still seventeen-year-old boys in essence and have never experienced such a thing.
You may get snow blindness when you climb snowy mountains. It is normal to get green blindness after watching too much watermelons.
When you reach here, the landscape is no longer a plain.
A huge lake lies across here, with seamless surroundings. There are no waves on the lake surface, as calm as a mirror.
After approaching here, Lin Yuan outlined the talisman. After injecting mana, his eyes immediately became clearer.
His Qi Watching Technique has been used very well. Immediately after using it, he saw a layer of hazy light around him, and he could see some hidden dangers.
After looking around for a while and finding that there was no particular danger, they slowly approached the lake until they reached the lake.
The lake here is quite clear, but I don’t know where it comes from. Looking down, you can see some almost transparent fish swaying in the lake.
After confirming that there was no danger, Lin Yuan flicked his sword and a fish flew out. It landed on the grass and kept jumping.
Shangguan Zhi picked up these small fish, looked at them carefully for a while and praised: "Good things."
"Do you know them?" Zhang Ting asked curiously.
“This fish is called Canglan fish. Its body is almost transparent and you can hardly see it when swimming in the water. However, its meat is delicious. It costs twenty souls per piece in the market, and it is often not available. The method of slaughtering this fish is quite special. The internal organs are easy to break and the taste will be spoiled if you are not careful.”
Shangguan Zhi cut open the belly of the Canglan fish in an orderly manner. Offal.
Although it was almost transparent, Shangguan Zhi seemed to have eyes on his hands. He easily took out the easily broken internal organs, leaving nothing behind.
Looking at Shangguan Zhi's current appearance, both Lin Yuan and Zhang Ting felt that he was too virtuous.
Cleaning the fish in the lake water, he threw the fish to Zhang Ting: "It will be fine now. Although it is better to use charcoal fire, you can also use magic to roast it. Why are you standing there? Let’s start.”
“Why not let Lin Yuan do it?” Zhang Ting asked in confusion.
"You are the most useless here. If you don't play a little role quickly, what else do you want to do!" Shangguan Zhi shouted dissatisfied, "We are a group, we don't want to fall behind."
After muttering a few words, Zhang Ting still shot out a spark from his fingertips. The Canglan fish in his hand was roasted in an instant under the influence of the technique, exuding a rich fragrance.
Shang Guanzhi first tore off a piece of fish and put it into his mouth, tasted it carefully for a while, and then said: "The taste is okay, but there is no salt and seasoning, and the whole thing is a bit monotonous. Lin Yuan, why don't you leave When you go to my house for the first time, I will bake it for you." Looking at Shangguan Zhi's attentive eyes, Lin Yuan always felt that the other party had bad intentions.
But thinking about it carefully, he didn’t know what the other party wanted about him.
After tasting the fish, he found that the fish was indeed good. It was delicious and had chewy meat. Even without salt, it was still delicious.
After sharing a piece of fish, Lin Yuan looked at the lake.
Under the influence of the Qi Watching Technique, he saw a large number of Canglan fish densely packed in the lake, and catching them all would be enough for them to eat for a long time.
At this moment, he discovered that Wang Jiu and the foundation-building monks had already planned.
Let them learn Qi-watching just for this moment.
In addition, other links should also have different tests. The whole process seems to be for them to verify what they have learned. It is an alternative kind of competition for enlightenment.
At this moment, Lin Yuan discovered that the foundation-building monks of Wanfa Sect seemed to be a little wilted.
The phantom mark was made here, and the three of them started to go back while stuck in time.
Just after leaving the lake, I found that the weather on the lake was changeable. The sky was clear just a moment ago, but in an instant it was covered with dark clouds.
Black clouds were constantly hovering in the sky, like black dragons crossing the sky, making the surrounding area suddenly dark.
Subsequently, hailstones the size of brains fell from the sky, densely packed like raindrops, hitting the lake in front of them hard.
Even though they were far away, Lin Yuan and others could still see this apocalyptic scene, which lasted for a whole stick of incense.
When the lake was filled with a large amount of hail, the dark clouds overhead quickly dispersed, revealing the clear sky behind.
Looking at the lake full of hail, Zhang Ting couldn't help but said: "The climate here is really strange."
"Yes, the weather changes at will, without any warning. What are Wang Jiu and the others thinking?" Shangguanzhi said in confusion.
While Lin Yuan looked at the lake filled with hail in front of him, inspiration began to accumulate.
There was no problem on the way back, but after arriving at the camp, Lin Yuan found that the situation here was not very good.
There was no hail here, but the morale of the entire camp was low, and many disciples were frowning, as if something bad had happened to them.
Seeing that Lin Yuan and others were back, Xuecheng stood up and said with a wry smile: "Chief Lin, you are back."
Handing over to Xuecheng, Lin Yuan found this place More than a dozen beds had been made out of hay, and more than a dozen disciples were lying on the beds with different wounds on different parts of their bodies.
If it is an ordinary wound, it is fine. After using magic to stop the bleeding, you can ensure nutrition.
There was just a layer of black mist wrapped around the wounds of these wounded people, like poisonous snakes slithering back and forth over the wounds.
Squatting down, Lin Yuan pinched a wisp of black mist. He felt that the black mist was somewhat similar to Dao Jue, but the concentration was much weaker.
Using magic power to dissolve the black mist, Lin Yuan asked doubtfully: "What happened to them?"
"They were beaten by their own shadow."
"...Huh?"
