C1503 Crossing the Valley
After Zhou Yi walked into the poisonous miasma, the figure also disappeared.
Because the valley was filled with the poisonous miasma, there were no living beings within it. Even the trees that grew here appeared to be in a dark state.
The trunk was black, the leaves black.
Zhou Yi reached out his hand to touch it, and the leaf turned into a pile of black ash in the blink of an eye.
The biggest characteristic of this valley was that there was not even a trace of wind.
Even the slightest breeze was gone.
This was probably the main reason why the Poisonous Fog was able to stay here for the rest of the year.
However, it was said that on the 18th of August every year, a strong wind would blow in from outside the valley, completely dispersing the Poisonous Fog. People outside would enter the valley to pick a special plant.
It was a fungus.
It was said that after eating those kinds of bacteria, one could go to the Hundred Poisons Sect and become strong and healthy.
Zhou Yi had never seen what this fungus looked like, so he tried to see if he could find it after entering the valley.
However, the Poisonous Fog was really thick, even Zhou Yi could only clearly see around 4-5 meters in front of him, so he stopped thinking about it.
After circling around, Zhou Yi finally found a small cave.
There was no need to worry about the existence of any living things in the cave. After entering, Zhou Yi waved his hand and a hurricane rose up from the ground. In the blink of an eye, the thick fog was blown out of the cave.
After setting up the enchantment around the cave entrance, Zhou Yi sat down cross-legged.
He took out the recipe that Bai Xiaosheng got, and compared it to the recipe, preparing all the ingredients needed. After familiarizing himself with the concocting process, he then took out his Cauldron.
At this moment, at the entrance of the valley …
"Xiao Chun, are you sure you saw it clearly? Someone just barged in like that? " It was a bearded man who turned to look at the man beside him.
The one called Xiao Chun was a young man who looked to be around 21 to 22 years old. He was very thin and had very small eyes.
He nodded with certainty and replied, "That's right, Hammer Brother. I saw it clearly. That person did not use any form of protection and went straight in."
The bearded youth called Hammer said, "It's still almost half a month away from August 18th. It's impossible for anyone to go in early to pick up that longevity fungus, but who the hell is he?"
"Brother Hammer, you don't have to worry about who he is. There's a lot of fog over there. As long as we're careful, we might not be able to clearly see each other." The one who spoke was an extremely sturdy looking young man, around 1.8 meters in height, looking like he weighed more than 200 pounds.
"Dazhuang, what do you mean?" Xiao Chun asked.
Dazhuang gave a silly smile, "What can I mean? I'm definitely going in to find a treasure. Who cares who that person is. He's just one person. If we meet him, are we afraid that we won't be able to beat him?"
Little Chun nodded. "Brother Hammer, Big Might's words are reasonable. There must be three of us. If there really is someone who is in our way, we wouldn't mind sending him to Hades."
That hammer was still a little worried, "Are you sure that thing is inside? This Poisonous Fog will die! "
"You don't have to worry about that. I can guarantee that the item we're looking for is here. And the most important thing is that I have special equipment, so there won't be any problems when we enter." Little Chun patted his chest to take care of himself.
After saying that, he took out the equipment that he had bought with a huge sum of money.
It was a type of equipment that could filter air. No matter what poison gas it was, after being filtered by this equipment, it would turn into ordinary oxygen and wouldn't cause any harm to a person's body.
Then, he took out another book from his backpack.
"Everyone look, this is the thing. It can be sold for hundreds of thousands of yuan each. If we're lucky, we can find a few more. If we're unlucky, we can also get one."2
Xiao Chun's information was a photo album.
There was a tiny black sapling printed on the picture book. The sapling was about the size of a palm and its leaf was only about two centimeters long.
At the bottom of the tome, there were a few small words written: Dark Devil Tree.
The Dark Demon Tree was surrounded by poisonous miasma. Because of its special environment, it was extremely difficult to harvest.
Furthermore, the leaves cultivated by Dark Devil Tree could be used as tea, and after people drank it, it would have the effect of prolonging their lives.
The Dark Devil Tree could always be auctioned off at a high price of six digits.
After the youth called Hammer read the picture book, he couldn't help but clench his fists slowly.
A Dark Devil Tree could sell for that much money, then their family's debts would all be repaid.
In this era, humans had died because of money. Birds died because of food.
There was a way to make money right in front of him. There was no reason for him not to hurry up.
Therefore, he gritted his teeth and said, "Whether I live or die, we'll pay back the debt and become rich. If I die, I'll be a good man again 18 years later."
The other two also seemed to have been infected by him, and simultaneously shouted, "That's right, in 18 years, you'll be another good man."
Afterwards, the three of them put on their equipment and entered the valley.
Zhou Yi's furnace had already been set ablaze. Under the scorching fire, all kinds of elixirs were gradually turned into piles of powder or balls of solution.
The three people who had just entered the valley were trembling as they walked deeper into the valley. Because the poisonous miasma in the valley was too dense, their walking speed wasn't that fast either.
"We can't even see a meter ahead of us, how will we be able to find that Dark Devil Tree?!" He shouted loudly.
Because he was wearing equipment, his voice was too quiet for the other party to hear.
With these words, the other two also fell silent. Xiao Chun thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we just go to the foot of the mountain instead of wandering around in the valley. We'll search around the foot of the mountain."
"That's the only way!" The other two nodded, and then the three turned around and walked towards the foot of the mountain.
The entire valley was surrounded by mountains on three sides. If they kept close to the foot of the mountain, it was very possible that they would end up walking around the valley before coming out.
This was also an extremely safe way of escape.
Following that, the three of them stuck close to the foot of the mountain, and as if they were half climbing, they slowly walked forward while searching for the priceless Dark Devil Tree.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Chun suddenly opened her mouth, "Big Hammer Brother, do you feel any particular heat in front of you?"
The sledgehammer behind him sensed that there was not a trace of wind in the valley, and with the equipment they were wearing, he was already soaked in sweat.
He shook his head slightly, "I don't feel anything!"
Little Chun tried taking another two steps forward, "There must be something up ahead. We have to be careful."
After saying that, he took out the weapon that he had prepared earlier …
