"It's the same here as when we first came here." Yuanze looked around.

Shen Qi scratched a few marks on a tree.

"Come on, let's go again."

Not long after they left, Shen Qi saw the mark she had left on the tree again.

"It seems like... a ghost wall." Shen Qi murmured.

"What is a ghost wall?" Yuanze heard her words and looked at her.

"It's just like the situation we're in now, where we're going in circles."

"Have you encountered this before?" Yuanze frowned. He had never encountered such a situation. This phenomenon was too strange.

"I've encountered it once." She just mentioned that this phenomenon is called ghost wall, so she had to say that she had encountered it too.

However, she had never encountered such a situation. She had only seen the strange stories told by netizens on the Internet.

Yuanze: "Is there a solution?"

Shen Qi shook her head. She hadn't seen any cracking methods either, and all of them agreed that these were superstitions.

“Squeak.”

The sound of a mouse squeaking was heard from behind. They both looked back and saw a mouse gnawing on a bloody piece of meat.

This mouse was one of the few small animals she had ever seen.

There was no demonic presence in his eyes, he just looked like a wild animal.

But...how come there's suddenly a mouse?

The mouse looked around blankly, obviously confused about its current situation.

When the mouse saw two dangerous eyes staring at it, it ran away in shame.

But after a while, it returned to the original place and met two people who frightened it.

It ran somewhere and started squeaking on the spot.

Shen Qi saw a drop of dried blood on the mud beneath it. The mouse was jumping eagerly with the uneaten piece of meat, and the blood oozing from the meat was thrown to the ground.

The scene in front of him suddenly shook, Shen Qi blinked, and it was gone in a flash. The change just now seemed to have never happened before.

"What is that dead rat beast yelling about? It's so noisy." Yuan Ze's eyes turned cold, and he wanted to catch the rat and strangle it to death.

"Wait a minute." Shen Qi stretched out her hand to stop him. "It's definitely not an accident that this rat beast came here. If it was able to come back just now, it must have encountered the same situation as us."

"Maybe... where it stands is the key to our decryption."

"How do you know?" Yuanze looked at the frightened rat beast.

"I just saw a phantom, but I don't know what caused it."

She slowly approached the rat beast, and the rat beast took a few steps back in fear.

She carefully observed the place, but didn't find anything unusual, only the blood on the ground...

Could it be related to blood?

She grabbed the rat beast and saw its terrified look, which scared it so much that it dropped the piece of meat, and it fell exactly where it was just now.

The blood was facing downwards and stained on the soil. The shadow flickered, and the previous scene was reappeared, and the shaking was even more violent.

But in a moment, it disappeared.

This time, Yuanze also noticed the shaking scene.

He looked at the piece of meat that fell to the ground. "Does it have anything to do with blood?"

"It's very likely." She cut open the rat beast's flesh and threw it on the muddy ground, and the blood flowed into the soil.

Sure enough, the scene before my eyes shook even more violently.

It lasted a few seconds longer than last time, but it still seemed that it had not reached the attainable level, so it stopped again.

Shen Qi took out a dagger and slashed his arm.

Yuan Ze saw it, his eyes moved, and he grabbed her hand, "You just don't take care of yourself."

"Let go, this is the only way now."

The blood from Shen Qi's arm fell onto the soil, and the scene shook again like before, this time even more violently than the previous two times.

Finally, the scene before my eyes was like a broken mirror, which disappeared in the blink of an eye and turned into the same scene again.

"It should be solved."

Shen Qi tore off a piece of animal skin, wrapped it around the wound he had just stabbed, and tied a small knot.

"Did you often do this before?" Yuanze frowned as he watched her bandage his wound with familiarity.

"It's okay." It's just that the world here is much more dangerous than before, so I got a few more injuries. However, these minor injuries can be healed with care.

Yuanze listened to her nonchalant words. If she was a male, he might think bandaging the wound was hypocritical, but she was a female, which surprised him. It was the first time he saw a female who didn't take care of herself.

"Let's keep going." After bandaging the wound, Shen Qi stood up and looked at him.

"You can rest for a while. This king is in no hurry."

"I'm not tired, we can continue going. We haven't entered the Frost Valley yet." First they were besieged by wild beasts, and now they were delayed by the ghost wall.

Yuan Ze smiled wickedly, "Alright, don't be so stubborn. I don't want to drag this burden back with me."

Shen Qi smiled and said, "You still have to rely on me to find out what your brother's herbs look like."

Yuanze choked, and his evil smile grew even wider. He suddenly used the spiritual power in his hand to hit the tree trunk beside him. The branch shook a few times, and a few red fruits wrapped in ice fell off.

He melted the ice on the fruit with fire and gave her a few.

She took it and felt a little hungry in her stomach, so she ate all the red fruits in her hand in a few bites.

The ice on the valley is like a layer of protective clothing, covering layer by layer. The river we passed by also had a layer of floating ice on the surface, and the water was still flowing.

"Xiaoyu, do you have the location of Hanxuan grass?"

We've been walking for so long and the Hanji Valley is so big, it's impossible to go around every place.

"The host is now deep in the Frigid Valley. You can activate the precise positioning function. The host will go straight first. When you reach the bend, Xiaoyu will remind you."

Shen Qi heard the mechanical voice in his head, and his originally hesitant steps turned into walking straight forward without hesitation.

Yuan Ze followed her and asked, "Do you know where the herbs are?"

"I know. Follow me."

Not long after walking, the cold voice of the machine came to my mind again, "Host, go to the left. There is a hillside. Go up and you will see it."

Shen Qi followed the location. The slope was quite steep and became more dangerous as he went up.

Finally we reached the top, which was a sheer cliff and the cold wind was even more biting.

"Is that the herb you need?"

When Shen Qi heard his voice, she looked towards the edge of the cliff, where an ice-blue flower was blooming alone. The light blue petals seemed to be condensed from clear frost, soft and cold.

"Host, that grass is the hanging grass."

After receiving the confirmation, Shen Qi nodded, "That's it."

Yuanze walked over and wanted to pull out the grass, but unexpectedly, the grass was like a solid rock and did not move at all.

The spiritual power circulated in his hands, and the fireball in his hand burned the ice next to the herbs, but there was no sign of melting.

Shen Qi frowned and fiddled with the cold grass trapped in the ice. He found that its leaves could not be pulled out and the roots below were stuck in the ice and could not be pulled out either.

"This frost-hanging grass is embedded in the ice and is difficult to pull out."

There was a hint of coldness in Yuanze's eyes, colder than the ice in the valley, "I will crush this place to pieces."
