Chapter 514: Pursuit
On the hillside, Hua Xiaolan was wearing linen clothes and carrying a medicine basket. She squatted in the knee-high grass, reached out and picked a black herb, and put it into the basket.
At first glance, she looks like an ordinary herb-gathering girl.
"Xiaolan! Are you here to collect herbs again?"
Several fishing island villagers passed by on the hillside. They walked down the mountain carrying firewood and waved.
Hua Xiaolan showed a flawless innocent smile and waved back to them.
When they walked away, her smile immediately faded.
After confirming that no one else would be around for a short time, she stretched out her right hand and spread her palm flat. A wasp the size of a thumb came out of the sleeve and stopped in her palm.
“The Black Mountain Islands are really rich in spirituality. Even the bees and insects are bigger than outside.”
Hua Xiaolan raised the corners of her lips: “Go and tell me where he is. ?”
The wasp flapped its wings and slowly flew up. After two turns in the air, it suddenly found a direction and flew over very quickly.
Hua Xiaolan did not follow, she still squatted among the grass and continued to pick herbs.
In the blink of an eye, the wasp flew out of sight, but at the same time, Hua Xiaolan's pupils... lit up with a bright light.
She could already vaguely see what the wasp saw.
In fact, if the bee had been tamed in her hands for a longer time and nourished by her aura, maybe she would be able to see it clearly.
Previously, the shaman on the grassland was able to mediate with the seven-level spiritual aperture to control Yu Ling and see what Yu Ling saw with his eyes. Now Hua Xiaolan, who is in the sixth level of spiritual aperture, can naturally connect with his own envoy’s spirit. insect.
Although one of the so-called witchcraft techniques is in northern Xinjiang and the other is in southern Xinjiang, they have different approaches but similar effects in some places.
"Is it quite far..."
Hua Xiaolan looked at the blurry scenery in her eyes and murmured.
The wasp was very fast. In a short time, it had crossed several small islands and flew over the lake at low altitude. Finally, it slowed down after approaching several small, rugged islands in the south.
"Here?"
Hua Xiaolan frowned slightly.
She has never been to the Montenegro Islands for several months.
In order to "gather medicine", she once took Yuan Huai's boat and visited the surrounding islands. She also once took a small boat with Hua Wuying in order to "help the Yuan family and his son fish". , traveling back and forth among the archipelago’s waterways.
But why has she never seen these islands?
Could it be that there is a maze?
But I have never sensed any fluctuations in spiritual void spells... Is it because my realm is not enough?
Fortunately, Hua Xiaolan understood it without thinking about it for long.
In the final analysis, it is still a problem of waterways.
I am not like the disciples of the Spiritual Mirror Sect who can easily navigate the water... I am walking on the lake in a boat. No matter how calm it looks on the surface, the undercurrent of the waterway in some places is still turbulent. If you can't get through some places, then you really can't get through them.
This is not the outside world, and the Yuan family and his son do not dare to have the energy to rush through the Guimen Waterway. If they encounter the lake's interception and forcefully rush through it, some places will naturally be inaccessible.
As for wasps, they fly, so naturally they don’t have this problem.
Thinking of this, Hua Xiaolan felt a little sad again.
If the thousand-year-old bellflower is really there, how can I get there?
While thinking, the wasp had flown a long distance and began to shuttle between the towering and precipitous stone peaks.
Then, its flight height suddenly rose to a large height, and it reached the top of a stone peak more than a hundred feet high, looking down.
Hua Xiaolan’s pupils suddenly shrank!
Looking down from above, the stone peak turns out to be... hollow? !
The stone peaks that look ordinary on the outside are actually an extremely deep pit in the center! The vegetation around the pit was extremely lush, with any leaf the size of half a person. The most common weeds and flowers were all magnified dozens of times here, giving it a vague forest-like feel.
Looking down from the entrance of the pit, one could see extremely thick vines and huge flowers and plants climbing on the cave walls, but going further down, there was darkness and nothing could be seen clearly.
The older gentleman they had met not long ago was sitting cross-legged on the ground with his back to the entrance of the pit.
Hua Xiaolan’s eyes lit up.
The vegetation here is extremely lush, which must be caused by the extremely strong spirit deficiency. Then, the thing in this deep pit is probably the nine-sectioned bellgrass that I am looking for!
Thinking of this, Hua Xiaolan did not hesitate at all. With a thought in her mind, the wasp quietly swooped down and dived into the deep pit!
There were also many snakes, insects, rats and ants here, and there were also many bees and insects hovering here. Mr. Da didn't notice at all and allowed the wasps to get into the deep hole.
After entering the pit, less than a few feet down, the sunlight no longer shines here, the light becomes less and less, and the darkness becomes thicker and thicker.
Hua Xiaolan frowned...
After all, she was not approaching, but was controlling the wasp... If it were a firefly, maybe she could get some light out, but the wasp, really no way.
But it is very difficult to get to this place, and Mr. Da is guarding the gate. If he and Hua Wuying really go through all the trouble and painstaking efforts to touch it, and finally find that it is not a nine-segmented bellflower, wouldn’t it be wrong? Did you do white work?
After thinking for a moment, Hua Xiaolan decided to continue letting Huang Feng dive.
Anyway, it’s just a wasp. Even if there is real danger inside, it doesn’t matter... At most, the wasp will die, causing a slight spiritual backlash and making me vomit a few mouthfuls of blood.
So, the wasp quickly sank into the darkness.
Down, down, keep going down...
During the process, it will occasionally encounter some huge leaves, or be blocked by flower bones larger than humans. But as long as you circle around a few times, you can find a way to continue downward.
But as we went further and further down, the flowers and plants gradually blocked the tunnel, and it was difficult to find the way in the darkness. The wasp could not get down anymore.
"Alas..."
Hua Xiaolan sighed softly.
She knew that there was no point in going deeper... The pit was too dark, and even if she went down to the deepest point, she might not be able to confirm what was at the bottom of the pit.
Even when the wasp stopped on the so-called nine-segmented bellflower, she couldn't tell the difference between the bellflower and the surrounding flowers and plants, and couldn't tell whether it was what she was looking for.
Now it is enough to know that there is such a place and that there is an 80 to 90% chance of knowing that the Nine-Jointed Bellflower is here.
So she let out a breath and thought slightly, wanting to let the wasp go back the way it came.
But at this moment, a strong wind suddenly roared from underneath the wasp!
The wind came very fast and violently, disturbing the air, disrupting the flying wings of the wasp and disrupting its body shape.
Not only that, the wind even blew away the thick petals and grass leaves around it, allowing some of the sparse sunlight outside the pit entrance to shine through.
Under the sunlight, Hua Xiaolan realized that she had just controlled the wasp to circle around for a long time, and had only descended more than twenty feet, not very deep at all.
More importantly...
She was horrified to find that the thing stirring up the strong wind was actually a hand? !
No... those are not human hands.
Although it looks like a human hand, with all five fingers, clear palm prints, and even fingernails, it is clearly made up of entangled vegetation and vines, and the palm prints on it are also wood grain and fingernails. It’s also a proliferating wood bump!
This wooden hand is as big as a small building, with its fingers spread out, but when it gets close to the wasp, it suddenly bends up and grabs it!
Hua Xiaolan’s mind was entirely on the wooden hand, and since it came so fast, she couldn’t control the wasp to fly away.
In just a moment, the wood was suddenly grasped, and the connection between her and the wasp... was severed.
“Poof!”
On the hillside, Hua Xiaolan’s face turned pale and she spat out a mouthful of blood.
But a smile appeared on her face.
