Chapter 249 Is there something wrong here?

After listening carefully to Uncle Geda's words, everyone started walking up the mountain.

The road leading to the mountain is paved with many small stones, which are colorful and beautiful.

Not long after walking, we saw some dwarfs coming down the mountain.

The dwarf looked at the people in front of him with a strange expression, and then hurried down the mountain.

After waiting for the dwarf to leave, Gu Xiaoxi whispered to Uncle Geda, "Uncle Geda, is the place where you saw that medicinal herb last time still far away?"

"It's not far. Just cross this mountain and it's in the next valley." Uncle Geda replied.

Isn't this far?

Gu Xiaoxi looked at the small mountain road and took a long breath.

Such an ordinary mountain is naturally not far away.

But the path was too narrow, and they could only walk two people abreast. It would take too much time to climb up.

"Let's go. We definitely can't walk today. It would be nice to rest at the top of the mountain. There are a lot of mushrooms there. At least we can hide from the rain at night." Uncle Geda patted Wei Kong's shoulder after saying that.

Wei Kong took big strides and walked up. On the way, he could see a lot of snakes running around not far from the stone path, some of them even stretched their necks to watch them pass by.

Gu Xiaoxi discovered that the snake medicine on the small stone road was very effective. No snake dared to approach him as he walked along.

She squatted down, carefully picked up a stone and threw it into space, asking the robot to check what ingredients the potion was made of.

Along the way, everyone walked forward in silence, but they didn't encounter the dwarf again.

By the time they reached the top of the mountain, it was already dark, and everyone found a few large mushrooms next to each other to rest.

When you get here, you can walk around a bit and find some firewood to make a fire.

At dinner that night, Uncle Geda expressed his doubts: "When I went into the mountains before, even in bad weather, I would often encounter more than one dwarf.

It's been too long since I last came here, is there something wrong here?"

"No matter whether something unexpected happens or not, we just need to find what we are looking for and leave." Wei Kong didn't care about these things.

Wei Bai's understanding was different. He said, "If something unexpected happens, we might not be able to go to some places."

"I'm worried about this too." Uncle Geda muttered.

"We'll take it one step at a time. As long as we find the direction, we can deal with other things later. There's no point in worrying about it now." Gu Xiaoxi only wanted to find the direction now, and they could deal with the rest slowly.

Uncle Geda sighed and nodded slightly.

The sky gradually darkened, and many green eyes like lanterns could be seen on the surrounding mountains. They were wolves.

The strange thing was that the wolves were just howling nearby and didn't get close to them.

"Go to sleep. The wolves are afraid of these big mushrooms. If they eat a little, they will meet the devil. Even if they don't eat it, they will feel dizzy when they smell the devil, so they won't come near." Uncle Geda saw that they were staring at the wolves around them, so he yawned and lay down.

Gu Xiaoxi was surprised after hearing this. He looked up at the big mushroom and rubbed his hands, planning to get some back to the space to study it carefully after they fell asleep.

The next day, at daybreak, they heated up a few buns and continued on their journey.

I went down the mountain that day, but I didn't encounter any dwarfs at all.

"This is so strange. How could there not be a dwarf at all? Did something really happen?" After Uncle Geda said this, he asked Wei Kong to put him down.

There was a river in front of them, and across the river stood a suspension bridge, which swayed in the breeze. Everything was quiet, and there was no sign of the dwarfs.

Such a scene made Uncle Geda feel a little nervous. He walked carefully to the river and observed carefully, and found that there were not even any fish in the river.

Gu Xiaoxi followed closely and looked carefully. There were many quiet water plants in the river, but no fish.

She took the silver needle and dipped it in some river water, but it was non-toxic.

Wei Kong took out a stone and threw it into the water. The splash was relatively normal and there was no problem at the moment.

Gu Xiaoxi looked at the splashing water, then turned and asked Uncle Geda, "Uncle Geda, do you think that place is far away?"

"It's not far. After crossing the river, there is a village where dwarfs live. The medicinal herb you mentioned is at the foot of the mountain near the village. As long as you can enter the village, you can get the medicinal herb." Uncle Geda told Gu Xiaoxi the specific location.

"Great, this is the last step. So, let's cross the river?" Wei Kong seemed impatient after hearing this.

Before Uncle Geda could refuse, Gu Xiaoxi said, "No, it's getting dark, and there's obviously something wrong with the river water. How about tomorrow morning?"

"Yes, there must be something wrong with this river, although we don't know where the problem lies yet?" Uncle Geda also felt that he couldn't take the risk when he saw the problem was already there.

Seeing that both of them said so, Wei Kong had no choice but to give up temporarily and let everyone find a place to stay.

Wei Bai asked curiously, "Uncle Geda, why don't we see any big mushrooms here?"

"I don't know. There are no big mushrooms at the foot of the mountain here. It may be a problem with the water and soil." Uncle Geda shook his head. He didn't know the reason either.

Without big mushrooms, we can’t avoid being attacked by wolves at night.

Uncle Geda told them that they could only find more firewood and use fire to drive away the wolves.

Gu Xiaoxi deliberately lay down and pretended to sleep, then asked the robot to control the drone to see what was going on inside before it got dark.

The drone flew over the river from a high altitude, but found nothing in the water.

When they reached the other side of the river, there was no trace of the dwarfs on the shore, and everything was quiet.

After walking a little further away from the river bank, we saw many houses. The houses were about the same size as those for normal people, except that they had a small door on top.

The dwarfs all entered through the small door, but the courtyard gate was closed and no one in the village was seen running around outside.

"Let's go check out the place Uncle Geda mentioned." Gu Xiaoxi was more concerned about the medicinal herbs.

The robot inputs the program of the medicinal material into the drone's system, and the drone begins to accurately search for that medicinal material.

Soon, a large patch of them was found in a patch of grass.

That’s right!

It's a large area.

But, what is that thing?

hiss!

Suddenly a long tongue stretched out, and then a big tail swept towards the drone.

"Get out of here!" Gu Xiaoxi shouted.

Unfortunately, it was discovered too late. There was a clang and the picture in the space was cut off.

"Master, it's over, the drone is broken!" said No. 1 with a frustrated look on his face.

Gu Xiaoxi let out a breath of depressed air. She didn't even have time to see clearly what that thing was.

Helplessly, she had to spend more money and buy another drone.

No!

One is not enough, you need two!

After a while, No. 1 and No. 2 controlled two drones to fly over the river and into the woods beside the village.

Drone No. 1 arrived at the place where the previous drone disappeared and found the wreckage of the previous drone.

The drone was completely deformed, as if it had been hit by something heavy.

"Number one, number two, keep the drone at a distance and see what's here." Gu Xiaoxi gave orders to the two robots.

Bang!

There was a sound, the ground shook violently, and a large tail flew out from the dense bushes and swung towards the No. 1 drone.

When Gu Xiaoxi saw this scene, she sat up excitedly.
