Chapter 247 It was parasitized by a spiritual creature!
“Think carefully, you won’t find this store after passing this village!”
Qinzhou curled his lips.
He didn't do it on the spur of the moment, and he didn't mean to joke with Huang Can.
There is a fire silkworm in this kid's body, and this strange insect is here. With a little guidance, he will definitely achieve extraordinary things in the future.
He is over seventy, and there is no guarantee of how long he can live. He has collected a lot of disciples, but most of them are deceitful and deceptive disciples, and there is no serious successor to his mantle.
Now Huang Can doesn’t understand anything. It can be said that he is just a piece of rough jade waiting to be carved. If he doesn’t pick it up, someone else will pick it up sooner or later.
So, it’s better for him to pick it up.
He himself can't make a name for himself in the Panshan world. If his apprentice can make a name for himself in the future, it will also make him look good, right?
However, the result was different from what he expected.
This kid doesn't seem to be interested in becoming his teacher.
It seems that it is necessary to find an opportunity for him to show off his skills.
......
——
But Chen Yang quickly arrived at the top of the cliff at Centipede Ridge.
This Centipede Ridge has a cliff on one side and a slope on the other. The cliff side is very steep, and the slope side is not very gentle.
The whole thing is like a natural stone wall, stretching across the mountains.
This mountain is covered with thorns. Not to mention people, even those animals that are good at climbing would inevitably end up with their heads pricked and bleeding when they came here.
On Centipede Ridge, there used to be a lot of poisonous insects, especially centipedes, the number of which was astonishing.
But after Chen Yang’s last trap, it is obviously much rarer now.
Occasionally, one or two can be seen, and they will disappear into the bushes and disappear in an instant.
The terrain on the top of the cliff is slightly gentle, but it is also full of thorns. Chen Yang carefully looked for a place to stay and slowly approached the location marked on the map.
Not far away, a lush greenery caught his eye.
On the slope not far away, there is a large area of green thorns growing.
Raspberry!
This is a woody plant of the genus Rubus in the Rosaceae family.
To be precise, it is a wild fruit, also known as raspberry!
In Lingjiang, the locals call it Diangu Paoer, or March Paoer.
They usually mature during the millet season. The fruits are small and red, like small strawberries, and are sour and sweet.
It tastes good and has certain medicinal value, but it is a bit laborious to pick it.
There are many barbs on the branches of raspberries, which are simply hidden weapons among hidden weapons. If you are not careful, you will be injured.
The raspberries in front of me were very large, completely blocking the road in front of Chen Yang.
It is now autumn and the millet is ripe, so of course there will be no more Pao'er.
Countless thorns are piled up in random directions, sealing the road ahead. The thorns covered with barbs almost have the words "Keep strangers away" written on them. There.
Chen Yang looked at the map.
The location shown on the map is not far behind the raspberries.
The distance is only fifty or sixty meters at most.
This thing knows how to find a place!
Chen Yang's eyes moved slightly. He looked ahead and could vaguely see a cliff more than ten meters high fifty or sixty meters away.
But Huang Jing was not seen.
It's a bit far away, but you still have to go over to see it clearly.
Turn on the radar detection and explore the thorns ahead.
Chen Yang was hesitant. The thorns were blocking his way. If he wanted to pass, he might cause quite a stir.
This distance should be enough for the Huang Jing to escape if it were alerted.
“Whatever, just run. If you run away, just chase after you.”
Chen Yang made a plan in his mind, took out the Mo Dao, and dealt a violent blow directly to the thorn bush in front of him.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Disconnected thorns flew everywhere. Under Chen Yang's continuous fierce attack, it took less than two minutes for a path to be cleared in front of him.
Putting away the Mo Dao, Chen Yang used the Feiyan Kung Fu and easily crossed the thorny area.
Run quickly towards the cliff ahead.
At the same time, he was also paying attention to the movements of the Huang Jing plant on the map.
The movement he made just now was quite big, but the red dot on the map did not move.
He couldn't help but be a little confused.
What is this Polygonatum plant doing?
Isn’t it afraid of being found by itself? Or is it that it has not thought about escaping, but is hiding in the dark and trying to sneak attack on itself?
Chen Yang held the pig-killing knife in his hand.
He has always been cautious. Although he instinctively felt that it should not be difficult to deal with a Polygonatum japonica, he must be careful.
One side of the cliff top is a cliff, and the other side is a steep slope. The middle area is only more than ten meters wide. The ground is covered with moss. It has been very slippery because of the rain. If you accidentally fall, If you take a step forward, you will easily fall off a hundred-meter cliff, and you will inevitably be shattered into pieces.
At this moment, it is not yet four o'clock in the afternoon, and the wind on the top of the mountain is a bit strong.
Tens of meters ahead, a stone wall appeared in front of Chen Yang.
The stone wall is only a dozen meters high and looks more like a huge stone stuck there.
The top of the stone wall is the highest point of Centipede Ridge.
At this time, Chen Yang was standing under the stone wall, and the map showed that the Polygonatum plant was nearby.
To be precise, it is inside the stone wall.
He looked at the map.
On the map, there were originally two red dots on Centipede Ridge. One was the killer Polygonatum vulgaris plant, and the other should represent another century-old Polygonatum vulgaris plant.
But now, there is only one red dot left.
Perhaps the distance is too close and the two red dots overlap, or it may be that the killer Polygonatum vulgaris plant has swallowed up another century-old Polygonatum vulgaris plant.
The white dot on the map is where Chen Yang is now, and the red dot is right in front of him, very close.
According to the ruler shown on the map, the distance will not exceed 10 meters at most.
However, at this moment, in front of Chen Yang was a stone wall.
Wrong map positioning?
Obviously unlikely.
Chen Yang would rather believe that he made a mistake than believe that the system will locate the error.
That Polygonatum plant should be nearby.
He came closer and took a closer look. The stone wall was covered with moss and hung with many vines.
He used the butcher's knife to gently push aside the vines on the stone wall, and a crack appeared in front of him.
The entire stone wall looked like it had been struck by lightning. There was a palm-sized crack in the middle, extending from the top of the stone wall to the bottom.
Chen Yang turned on the radar detection and probed inside the stone wall.
The entire crack completely penetrated the stone wall, forming a small space in the middle of the stone wall.
According to the situation detected by the radar, at this time, inside the crack, about ten meters away from Chen Yang, there was a Polygonatum plant with stems and leaves three to four meters high.
It has two long stems, both three or four meters high, very strong, and they grow quietly in the crevices of the rocks.
Chen Yang’s arrival did not seem to alarm it.
He quickly pulled out the system panel and checked the information on the Polygonatum japonica.
……
"Illustrated guide: Polygonatum polygonatum."
"Rating: Grade A."
"Introduction: A plant that was born with spirituality and was parasitized by spiritual creatures. It has lost itself. When night After arriving, when stimulated by the outside world, they will fall into a state of madness and kill as much as they want..."
...
"Ding, the mission is released"
"Task: Hunting the Crazy Polygonatum (Progress 0/1)"
"Reward: Black Bear Pill*1."
......
Soon, there will be news about this Polygonatum The information appeared in Chen Yang's mind.
At the same time, a task was also released.
Chen Yang was slightly surprised, but then his eyebrows lit up with joy.
Black Bear Pill, a magical elixir that can increase your physical fitness by 100 points.
He hasn’t tasted Black Bear Pills for a long time.
A black bear pill, coupled with the body tempering pill promised by the Cash Mountain Association, is enough to give him a 150-point physical improvement.
His current physique is 704/900.
In other words, as long as he completes this task, he can directly increase his physical fitness to about 850 points.
The physical limit is not far away, and he can hit the spiritual realm right before his eyes.
This time it’s time.
It’s just that this thing is hidden in a rock crevice, so it’s a bit difficult to handle.
At this time, Chen Yang was in trouble.
This Polygonatum plant now grows in a rock crevice. The rock crevice is so narrow that even people and tools cannot get in.
What's going on?
Break it apart?
How can he be so powerful?
After thinking for a while, Chen Yang climbed to the top of the stone wall, found the crack, and took out the small half-bottle of powerful herbicide that was left over from He Shishi's previous treatment.
Locating the location of the crack, Chen Yang tried to pour the herbicide into it.
The idea is very good.
However, Chen Yang soon stopped.
The shape of this crack is irregular. According to the picture detected by radar, the herbicide cannot flow to the ideal position at all. It flows directly from the crack and flows down the cliff.
Waste!
This approach simply won't work.
Chen Yang frowned, water attack, fire attack, power attack?
Various methods were simulated in my mind, but in the end they seemed almost meaningless.
Then, use insects!
He slapped the insect seed bag, and dozens of centipedes crawled out. Driven by Chen Yang, the centipede group quickly got into the crack and crawled towards the location of the Polygonatum plant in the crack.
Although centipedes do not eat Polygonatum japonica, driven by Chen Yang, these centipedes quickly attacked the Polygonatum odoratum plant.
In the cracks.
After being attacked, the Huang Jing plant that was motionless suddenly started to move.
The stalks were waved violently, and several fruits exploded, releasing a layer of faint red smoke.
The smoke quickly spread in the cracks.
The group of centipedes that were originally attacking crazily, as soon as they came into contact with the red smoke, immediately started to writhe on the spot as if they had fallen into a frying pan.
One by one, the centipedes trembled all over as if they had received an electric shock. In just a few seconds, they turned their stomachs.
Dozens of centipedes died in an instant.
Poison!
This Polygonatum plant can actually release poison?
And the poison doesn’t seem to be weak.
Chen Yang suddenly changed color.
The A-level spiritual plant is indeed extraordinary.
He quickly ducked away, fearing that he would be contaminated by the reddish poisonous gas.
His current physique is immune to B-level biotoxins, but he is not immune to A-level biotoxins.
Small roots stretched out, wrapped around the bodies of the centipedes, and dragged them directly into the soil.
Immediately, the Polygonatum plant returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened just now.
Chen Yang’s face was ashen.
Dozens of centipedes were wasted.
He originally wanted to put down the bone-eating cricket, but after some hesitation he decided not to do it.
This thing is hiding inside the stone wall, so it can be said that it has a good location. Although the bone-eating cricket is strong, Chen Yang cannot guarantee that he can take it down.
He knocked on the stone wall with the butcher's knife for a while, trying to make a sound and wake up the Polygonatum plant.
However, the Polygonatum plant did not pay any attention to it at all.
I even used the power of the bracelet to communicate with it, but the other party was extremely cold and could not even say a word.
This made Chen Yang's face darken, and he felt like a tiger eating the sky and unable to eat anything.
……
Under the mountain.
The two of Qinzhou waited for more than half an hour before Chen Yang came down from the top of the mountain.
Hurry up and ask about the situation.
Chen Yang briefly explained the situation.
Qinzhou's face was grave, "Didn't you see the bodies of Lao Ye and his wife?"
Chen Yang shook his head.
Indeed I didn’t see it.
He searched around the top of the mountain but could not find the bodies of Ye Mingtang and his wife.
Where Huang Jing was, the crack in the stone wall was so narrow that it obviously couldn't accommodate a human body.
"It may have been hidden in other places. You don't have to worry too much, it can still eat the body."
Chen Yang comforted and then said, " It's hiding in the crevices of the rocks, and it's not easy to deal with. The space above is small and it's inconvenient to fight, so I think it's better to lure it down and deal with it."
"Well!"
< br>Qinzhou nodded.
This Centipede Ridge is indeed not suitable for fighting, so it is always better to be cautious.
Qinzhou knows the strength of Ye Mingtang and his wife, and they are definitely not weaker than him.
Especially Ye Mingtang is from the Iron Buddha Sect, a second-level Panshan layman, an old man from the Panshan world, and has rich experience in the world, but even if he has mastered the Tao, you can imagine the evil nature of this thing.
"How to lure it down?" Huang Can asked beside him.
Chen Yang said, "I just tried it. Maybe because it is daytime, it is not very willing to show up. It should be better at night."
According to the illustrated information given by the system, this Polygonatum japonica is no longer an ordinary Polygonatum odorifera, but is possessed by some kind of spiritual object.
So, Chen Yang guessed that the person controlling this Huang Jing now should be the so-called spiritual creature mentioned by the system.
As for what the spiritual thing is, he can't tell now.
But according to the system prompts, this thing will go crazy at night, and it is easy to lose yourself and enter a state of madness.
So, provoking it at night may have unexpected effects.
"I'll go guard the opposite side."
Qinzhou patted his butt and stood up.
I'm afraid that thing will run away from the opposite side of Centipede Ridge.
“No need.”
Chen Yang shook his head.
He has a map and can locate the Polygonatum plant in real time, so it doesn't matter whether it runs away or not.
It’s best for the three of them to be together. If they were separated, Chen Yang was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to take care of them.
In his opinion, this Polygonatum plant is nothing to worry about, but for Qinzhou and Huang Can, this is not necessarily the case.
At this time, Huang Can pointed not far away and said, "There is a cave over there. Could the body you are looking for be in it?"
Feng'er Cave, he used to I have been to Centipede Ridge once or twice and know that such a cave exists.
This was a wake-up call for Chen Yang.
Since the bodies of Ye Mingtang and his wife were not found on the mountain, they must have been hidden by the Polygonatum plant.
This cave is indeed a good place to hide a corpse.
At that moment, the three of them walked towards Feng'er Cave.
Huang Can had just wandered around the entrance of the cave, but did not dare to go in alone.
Now that Chen Yang and the others were following him, he became bolder and took the initiative to walk in front.
The cave is very dark and humid.
The cave wall seemed to be leaking, and water kept dripping.
The three of them used flashlights to illuminate the cave brightly, and cautiously explored forward.
In this environment, the purpose is still to find corpses. To say that you are not afraid is completely bluffing.
How could you not be afraid?
Especially Huang Can, who was walking in front, felt a little regretful for trying so hard.
At this moment, he was both looking forward to discovering something, but also afraid of discovering something.
Being brave or not has nothing to do with fear of the unknown.
Bite the bullet and walk through the cave, checking inside and outside, up and down.
Nothing was found.
At the exit of the cave, Huang Can breathed a long sigh of relief. When the wind blew, his whole body was soaked with sweat.
“Not here.”
Huang Can poked his head out of the cave, then turned back to the cave. It felt safer to stay with Chen Yang and the others.
Qin Zhou’s face was ashen.
He went into the mountains this time for two purposes.
The first is to take the bodies of Ye Mingtang and his wife back and bury them in peace.
The second is to destroy the Huangjing plant to avenge an old friend and comfort Ye Mingtang’s spirit in heaven.
Everyone was already dead, so there was no way he would let his old friend and his wife die in the wilderness, let alone let their bodies be played with by that Huang Jing.
Unforgivable.
Qin Zhou clenched his fist tightly, his eyes filled with hatred that could not be concealed.
“Let’s go, we’ll talk about it in the evening.”
Chen Yang patted him on the shoulder. Now there was no need to deliberately search for the bodies of the couple. Wait until night and catch them That Huang Jing can naturally know their whereabouts.
……
——
Night falls quietly.
A bonfire was lit on a flat ground under Centipede Ridge.
The temperature has dropped, and the nights in the mountains are already a bit chilly.
The three of them cooked some food and filled their stomachs. It was already completely dark.
In the mountain forest, cicadas chirped one after another, and from time to time there were one or two calls of birds and animals, which made the night extremely mysterious.
Qinzhou looked at his phone frequently. To be precise, he was looking at the time.
He had long been unable to hold himself back.
“When will we take action?”
It was already past nine o’clock. If he didn’t take action, he would fall asleep. Qinzhou looked up at the top of the mountain, eager to give it a try.
“Why are you anxious? You can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry.”
Chen Yang was unhurried, "It will come down by itself. If you are bored, you can take a nap first."
Qinzhou stagnated.
As the saying goes, caring leads to chaos. He is also a cautious character, but in this matter, he lost the calmness he should have.
Taking a deep breath, he took out the cigarette rod and started smoking again, trying to calm his restless mood.
Wait until after ten o'clock, the moon rises.
The cool moonlight shines into the mountain forest, giving the forest an inexplicable depth.
On the map, the red dot that Chen Yang had been paying attention to finally started to move.
It left the stone wall, wandered on the top of the cliff for a while, and then slowly moved down the side of Centipede Ridge.
"Chen Yang."
Huang Can stretched out his hand and pulled Chen Yang's arm and shouted, "It seems to be coming."
Huang Can's face was filled with nervousness, and he stared straight ahead, with a pair of eyes that seemed to have seen something extraordinary, trying to penetrate the night ahead.
