Chapter 252: Mountain Leech Forest, physical strength skyrocketed!
Coming out of the old ghost forest, Chen Yang spread out his body skills and jumped onto the treetops. His figure flickered like a fluttering butterfly, quickly heading down the slope.
Tulonggou.
There has been enough rain in the mountains these days, and the water in the ditch has overflowed. The water is turbid and rolling down, and there is a splashing sound in my ears.
Some time ago, Chen Yang came here when he was hunting the Wild Boar King.
Tulonggou is located below the old ghost forest, separated by a lacquer forest and a large forest of miscellaneous trees. It is also deep in the mountains and is rarely accessible by people.
In the past, when supplies were scarce, many hunters in the village would go into the mountains to hunt, and a small road was opened. But now, with no worries about food and clothing, there are no hunters anywhere. The previous road has long been deserted. .
Going down along the edge of the ditch, there is a forest of mixed trees, connected to the cliff and deep valley.
Chen Yang also visited this mixed forest when he was hunting the Wild Boar King. There were many blood-sucking leeches in it. Thinking about it even now, his scalp still feels numb.
Outside the woods, Chen Yang stopped.
There are several weasels standing on the top of the tree, and their eyes are like cameras, monitoring everything in the forest in real time.
“Zhizhi!”
Seeing Chen Yang’s arrival, they immediately came down from the tree, dancing and reporting something to Lao Huang.
He collected all the weasels into the pet space, leaving only Lao Huang standing on his shoulders.
“Zhizhi...”
Lao Huang pointed to the forest in front of him and chirped in Chen Yang's ear.
Ye Mingtang’s body is in the forest in front.
Chen Yang took a deep breath, with an embarrassed expression on his face.
You really know how to choose a place.
Could it be that he knew he was afraid of these squirming blood-sucking things, so he came here to hide?
To be honest, Chen Yang had some instinctive resistance to this leech forest.
Just thinking about the last time he had leeches crawling all over his body made his hair stand on end.
Resistance is resistance, come and go, there is no way to wait outside.
He took out a jacket from his backpack and put it on, tying the cuffs, trouser legs, and collar tightly.
Then he took another bag of realgar powder, dissolved it with water from the ditch, and poured it from head to toe before walking towards the leech forest.
After taking two steps, Chen Yang stopped again.
He hesitated for a moment and took out the [Black Bear Pill] that was rewarded in the mission of hunting Huang Jing.
There is no guarantee that there will be a battle soon. Although he is very confident in his own strength, if he improves his strength a little more and has more protection, he can avoid any emergencies.
Asking Lao Huang to guard him, Chen Yang immediately threw the black bear pill into his mouth, chewed it twice, and swallowed it.
The pill enters the abdomen.
Not long after, a warm feeling rose up from his belly and quickly spread throughout his body.
The effect of Black Bear Pills is relatively mild and there is almost no discomfort. This is not the first time Chen Yang has taken it.
My whole body felt as if I was soaked in warm water, extremely comfortable.
Every cell seems to be passing oil, making a faint sizzling sound.
The wound on the shoulder is also warm and feels a little itchy.
While the medicinal power was tempering his body, it was also promoting the recovery of his wounds.
It’s itchy because I’m growing flesh.
Chen Yang resisted the urge to scratch it. The whole process lasted for about ten minutes, and the warm feeling gradually faded away.
He clenched his fists, his joints crackling.
My body has skyrocketed, my strength has improved significantly, and I can no longer feel the pain from the wound on my right arm.
He tried to punch, but the wound had no effect.
Tear off the bandage directly. The scab on it is old and will fall off as soon as it is torn off. The place where it was originally cut out has regrown new flesh, which is red and tender. It can basically be considered healed.
Unexpectedly, this [Black Bear Pill] also has myogenic and healing effects.
……
Name: Chen Yang.
Physical fitness: 804/900.
……
In the leech forest.
The vegetation is lush, the strange trees are rugged, the air is unusually humid, and dew condenses into beads, constantly dripping down the leaves.
Many leeches can be seen on the grass and trees.
The colorful flowers give people goosebumps just looking at them.
They are like assassins hiding in the darkness. Whenever someone or an animal passes by, as long as they stay for a moment, they will fall from the tree decisively, without anyone noticing. Cling to the other person's body, suck blood to your heart's content, and feast on it.
Chen Yang moved forward quickly, not daring to stop at all. Just thinking about the scene of these worms falling on him made him shudder.
Pap-tat-tat!
There were constant noises behind me, whether it was the sound of dew dripping or the sound of falling leeches.
This forest is very large, and there are countless leeches. If you don't know how powerful these bugs are, and ordinary animals rush deep into it and get entangled by these bugs, they may be sucked dry.
Along the way, Chen Yang saw the bones of many animals.
Among them, there are mostly small animals, and occasionally some larger animals, such as goats, badgers, wild boars, etc.
You can imagine how terrifying this forest is.
A few hundred meters deeper, a big tree appeared in Chen Yang's field of vision.
Lao Huang squatted on Chen Yang's shoulders, pulled a leech from Chen Yang's neck, and threw it far away.
It pointed at the big tree in front and gestured at Chen Yang.
Chen Yang touched his neck and leaned towards the big tree.
It was a Zhennan tree growing beside a quagmire.
The diameter is one or two meters thick, and it is probably forty or fifty meters high, like a sky pillar.
This tree is at least hundreds of years old, and its leaves are already covered with golden threads. When viewed from a distance, it glows with a golden light.
If nothing else, the golden nanmu is already covered with golden threads.
It’s just that it has not become a tree, just an ordinary tree without spirituality.
The tree body is straight, and the crown is like a big unfolded umbrella. It is lush and green, and it looks a bit outstanding in this forest of mixed trees.
The only drawback is that there is a big hole in the trunk of this tree.
It was a huge tree hole. It looked like it was at least two meters deep at the bottom. It was cracked and the trunk seemed to have been hollowed out.
When Chen Yang came closer, he didn’t even need radar to detect it. He could see with the naked eye that there was a person standing in the tree hole.
The light was a little dim, but it was still vaguely identifiable. It was a man with unkempt hair and ragged clothes.
He stood so quietly in the tree hole, like a statue. Chen Yang's arrival did not seem to disturb him.
There were many leeches around, but the strange thing was that these leeches did not approach the figure in the tree hole.
They seemed to be afraid of something, just wandering around the big tree, forming an encirclement, densely packed and distinct, not daring to get close, but reluctant to stay away.
It is Ye Mingtang.
Chen Yang stopped more than ten meters away and did not dare to move forward rashly.
At this point, the scene in front of me seems a bit strange and weird.
Okay, what is he doing here?
He also hid in the hollow of such a big tree.
Is it possible that this golden nanmu tree is used as a coffin?
Not to mention, it really looks like a coffin.
In ancient times, the ancients often used nanmu to make coffins. This kind of wood is not easy to decay, especially the golden nanmu with golden threads. It is the best among them. In ancient times, it was a royal tribute, and ordinary people were not qualified at all. use.
It is said that the coffin made of golden nanmu has extremely strong antiseptic ability, and the corpse contained in it will not decay for a long time.
Of course, this is just a legend, and the facts should not be that exaggerated.
Ye Mingtang’s body, did you find a natural coffin for yourself?
At this time, facing such a corpse, to be honest, Chen Yang felt a little scared.
The surroundings are very quiet.
An absolutely quiet environment will amplify the fear in the heart to the greatest extent. People are thoughtful animals. When exposed to certain specific environments, they can't help but make associations and make up their minds.
In other words, it is a psychological suggestion to scare yourself.
At this time, Chen Yang felt a little instinctive in his heart.
This corpse can really move?
He moved closer, pulled out the system, and scanned the body in the tree hole.
However, there was nothing useful to gain.
From Ye Mingtang's body, Chen Yang did not notice the existence of insects, nor did he notice anything different about this corpse.
Are you going to do it directly and take out the body?
Or should I wait and see what happens?
"Zhizhi!" Old Huang gestured on Chen Yang's shoulder, seeming to tell Chen Yang not to be afraid!
Chen Yang hesitated for a moment, got rid of the fear in his heart, broke off a small tree from the side, cut out a pole more than three meters long, and tied a hook to one end. After a while, a simple hook appeared in front of the three of them.
Chen Yang held the other end, stretched it directly into the tree hole, hooked Ye Mingtang's collar and dragged it out.
“Hey!”
Ye Mingtang’s body still has a lot of power. This hook did not pull it out as promised, but tore the clothes off. Smashed.
Chen Yang's face changed slightly, and he immediately pulled out the body with a hook.
"Boom!"
Maybe because of his strength, Chen Yang didn't catch him, and Ye Mingtang's body suddenly flew out.
With a whoosh, he flew directly in front of Chen Yang.
The corpse had its eyes closed tightly and its face was pale, as if it was asleep.
However, just when it was about to land in front of Chen Yang, a pair of eyes suddenly opened as if a switch had been turned on.
Chen Yang was originally on guard against this. When he saw this, his heart skipped a beat. He threw the hook in his hand and subconsciously flew back.
The corpse landed on the ground, with its toes on the ground. It jumped four or five meters and jumped straight in front of Chen Yang. It swung its big hand like a leaf fan and slapped Chen Yang's chest with a palm.
The speed is amazing.
Chen Yang frowned slightly, stood still, and greeted him with a shout.
He has a physique of over 800. He performs the Thirteen Horse Exploration Postures. With the blessing of strength, Chen Yang can easily exceed the strength of a thousand catties with a single palm.
"Bang!"
The two palms met, like two iron plates hitting one place, making a huge sound.
Ye Mingtang was obviously no match.
The body flew out upside down, drew a parabola in the air, and fell into the mire with a plop.
Chen Yang stood still.
The injury on his right hand had just healed. Although the injury had recovered, he did not dare to use all his strength. The palm of his hand was a little numb when he released it.
The other party's body is too hard.
Although he is powerful, it is like hitting an iron plate. Although he can suppress the opponent, it also makes himself uncomfortable.
With just one palm strike, the power Ye Mingtang showed was definitely at the fifth level.
Chen Yang was horrified. Could the insect occupying his body really be an insect?
Is this insect so terrifying?
Before, he thought that it was the Polygonatum japonica that controlled Ye Mingtang's body. The Polygonatum japonica delivered medicinal power to the corpse. It was understandable that the power of the corpse suddenly increased, but now it seems that it has nothing to do with the Polygonatum odorifera.
Now this corpse, without the control of Huang Jing, can still exert its strength far beyond his own body. It can only be said that it is the problem of the bug in his body.
This insect can not only control its corpse, but also make the corpse exert power that exceeds its own body.
The most important point is that it seems to be able to obtain the memory of the corpse.
The fact that he can also perform Thousand Buddhas Palm is proof of this.
After all, Ye Mingtang is dead, and his body can still perform the palm skills he learned during his lifetime, which must have obtained his memory.
Do worms have this ability?
Chen Yang couldn't tell for a while. Although he knew about strange insects like worms, his understanding was not comprehensive.
The bug in Ye Mingtang's body has undoubtedly become a climate.
The A-level worm has been born with spirituality and wisdom. It is really hard to say how many abilities it has.
In the quagmire.
Ye Mingtang's body sank directly.
A whirlpool appeared on the surface of the quagmire. Gradually, the whirlpool became smaller and smaller, and calm returned.
Chen Yang frowned. He turned on the radar detection, came to the edge of the quagmire, and looked into the pool.
This quagmire is more than ten meters wide. I don’t know how it was formed. Except for a layer of water on the surface, the bottom is completely filled with silt.
The silt layer was thicker than Chen Yang imagined.
It's very deep, at least, his ten-meter radar detection range can't reach the bottom at all.
Ye Mingtang's body was sinking, and it soon exceeded the range of radar detection.
"This..."
Chen Yang's face changed slightly.
How can this be fixed?
That bug obviously has a lot of wisdom. Maybe it knows that it is not its opponent, so it uses this method to avoid it?
For a moment, Chen Yang felt a little dizzy.
If this was a pool, he would pinch his nose and go down with all his strength.
But this is a quagmire. No matter how capable he is, will he surely die if he goes down?
After walking around the quagmire, Chen Yang couldn't find any good method. The body had sunk into the quagmire and was completely silent. It didn't look like it was going to come out again.
Radar cannot detect how deep the quagmire is or where the body is.
Chen Yang scratched his head.
This is a problem for myself!
Either find a way to get him out on his own, or there is only one way to clear this quagmire.
However, Dry Niquan is a big project. Without machinery, it is obviously unrealistic to rely on Chen Yang alone.
“Zhizhi!”
When he was at a loss, Lao Huang gesticulated in his ear and shouted several times.
Chen Yang frowned slightly. Lao Huang meant that if he couldn't get him out, then let him stay here forever.
Chen Yang didn't have any objections, he could do whatever he wanted, but he still had to ask Qinzhou about how to operate it.
After all, Ye Mingtang is Qinzhou’s friend.
The purpose of Qinzhou’s trip is to bring Ye Mingtang’s body back. If his body is sealed here, the old man will not necessarily willing.
Immediately took out his hand and called Qinzhou.
The signal in the mountains was very poor, and it took a while to get through. Chen Yang explained the situation and asked him how to deal with it.
Qinzhou was silent for a while, asking him not to act rashly for the time being. After waiting for about half an hour, he also found the mountain leech forest.
Qinzhou knew very well that the leeches in the forest were terrifying. The old man was wrapped even more tightly than Chen Yang.
"How to do it?"
Chen Yang pointed to the quagmire in front of him. After a while, he had found many large rocks nearby and piled them beside the quagmire.
As long as Qinzhou agrees, he can sink these stones and directly press Ye Mingtang's body underneath, making it impossible for him to get out even if he wants to.
Qinzhou walked around the quagmire twice and tested the depth of the quagmire with branches. He found that he couldn't find the bottom at all, and his face looked extremely ugly.
This is really a difficult problem.
Of course he doesn't want his old friend to be exposed in the wilderness. If possible, he will definitely find a way to get him back.
However, the situation in front of him made him completely lose his mind.
If you are outside the mountains, you can easily find an excavator and dig out the quagmire in just a few clicks.
But this is in the mountains.
He took out his cigarette rod and kept smoking, standing and squatting for a while, looking a little anxious.
He seemed to turn a deaf ear to Chen Yang's questions.
“Or, let’s wait here, maybe he will come out on his own?” Chen Yang said.
“Hoo!”
Qinzhou blew out a puff of smoke and said, "I don't think so. You also said that the insect has become intelligent. We are here and it wants to hide. How can we keep guarding here?"
"Then you "How to do it?"
Chen Yang raised his eyebrows, "How about, don't worry about bugs or not, corpses or not, I'll just fill it in here and make a cemetery for him on the spot. You can do it afterwards." Erecting a monument for him does not count as exposing his body to the wilderness. At worst, you will travel more in the future and come here to worship..."
Qinzhou took a few puffs of cigarette, but did not immediately give it to Chen Yang. In reply, he took out his mobile phone, found a place with a slightly better signal, and made a call.
Chen Yang ignored it. His call should be to Ye Kuan.
After all, Ye Kuan is Ye Mingtang's son. Qinzhou must of course ask for permission as to how to dispose of the body.
A few minutes later, Qin Zhou came back, "Fill it in. There is no other way for now. If there is a chance in the future, we will find a way to move his grave."
The decision has been made. .
It can be seen that Qinzhou is also very helpless.
If there were other ways, I wouldn't have made such a decision.
He actually knew very well that once these stones sank, it would be even more difficult to remove Ye Mingtang's body in the future.
But there is no better way at present. They have no way to get the body, nor can they just leave. Pressing the body at the bottom of the pool is the most direct way to prevent Ye Mingtang from being killed after they leave. The corpse is out to cause trouble.
“Wow!”
Chen Yang had been waiting for this moment, and without saying a word, he kicked a huge rock weighing more than 1,000 kilograms.
The huge stone rolled into the quagmire, stirring up a large area of mud.
The next second, the stone quickly sank into the pool.
