Chapter 23 Polygonatum



There was actually a nest of baby pythons in the cave! They were so densely packed and wriggling that it made my scalp tingle.

"Fuck!" Chen Changyuan couldn't help but swear. If he got bitten by it, he would be skinned alive even if he didn't die.

He quickly retreated, not daring to take another step closer to the cave entrance.

"We can't leave this cave!" Chen Changyuan made a prompt decision. He didn't want to leave such a disaster behind.

He found more dry wood and leaves, piled them at the entrance of the cave, and lit a blazing fire.

Thick smoke billowed and flames shot up into the sky, enveloping the entire cave.

Chen Changyuan stood in the distance, looking at the burning cave, feeling a little scared.

If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would probably have died here today.

It was still early when we finished dealing with the bodies of the python and badger.

Chen Changyuan wiped the sweat off his forehead and shivered as the mountain breeze blew.

When I think about the scene just now, I still feel a little scared.

In this deep mountain forest, every step is thrilling.

“It’s sent!”

He looked at the huge python and badger on the ground, and his face was full of joy.

This is a good thing and can be sold for a lot of money!

He deftly skinned the snake, took out its gallbladder, and cleaned up the badger.

Looking up at the sky, the sun was still high in the sky. Chen Changyuan thought, since he was already here, he might as well take a look around and see if he could find some valuable herbs.

There are many treasures in this mountain, maybe there will be some unexpected gains.

He walked along the mountain path, looking around as he walked.

Not long after walking, I suddenly smelled a faint fragrance at the tip of my nose.

"This is..." Chen Changyuan's spirits lifted. He was familiar with the scent; it was the scent of wild Ganoderma lucidum! He followed the scent, parted a bush, and his eyes lit up.

On a dead tree trunk, there was a cluster of red Ganoderma lucidum growing. All of them were quite big, and the largest one was as big as a palm!

"My goodness, this is good stuff!"

Chen Changyuan was so excited that his hands were shaking.

Wild Ganoderma lucidum is much more valuable than pythons and badgers!

He carefully picked the Ganoderma lucidum and wrapped it in clothes.

I thought to myself that today's trip up the mountain was not in vain. Now that I go back, I can have a few days of leisure time.

Just as I was feeling happy, I suddenly heard the sound of water splashing not far away.

"There is a waterfall in this mountain?" Chen Changyuan became curious and walked over following the sound of water.

After passing through a dense forest, the view suddenly opened up.

A waterfall cascades down from the cliff into a crystal clear pool, splashing water and filled with mist.

The scenery was so beautiful that Chen Changyuan was stunned.

"This place is simply a paradise!" he exclaimed.

Just then, his eyes fell on a stone beside the pool.

The stone was snow-white all over and emitted a bright glow under the sunlight.

"What kind of stone is this? Why is it glowing?"

Chen Changyuan walked over curiously and bent down to pick up the stone.

The stone feels soft and delicate to the touch, and you can actually feel a warmth when you touch it.

He looked at it carefully and found that this stone was not an ordinary stone, but... a huge topaz!

"Fuck! Jade!" Chen Changyuan exclaimed. The size of this jade was bigger than any other piece he had ever seen!

He held the jade in his hands, his heart beating faster with excitement.

The value of this jade is simply inestimable!

"I'm rich! I'm really rich now!" He danced with excitement and wanted to shout to the sky.

Just when he was extremely excited, a strange noise suddenly came from the pool.

"thump!"

A huge black shadow jumped out of the pool, splashing water all over the sky.

Chen Changyuan was startled and quickly took a few steps back. When he looked carefully, he took a deep breath.

It turned out to be a huge black catfish!

The catfish was huge, more than two meters long, pitch black all over, and rolled in the water, making a deafening sound.

The pool was not big, but when stirred by the giant catfish, the water splashed everywhere, as if it was boiling.

Chen Changyuan was scared out of his wits. This was not a catfish, it was clearly a water monster!

He held the jade tightly and stumbled backward, fearing that he would be swallowed by the monster.

The giant catfish tumbled in the water for a while, and seemed to have noticed Chen Changyuan's presence. It turned its head suddenly, and its pair of big lantern-like eyes stared at him intently, with a fierce look in its eyes.

"Gurgle..."

Chen Changyuan swallowed his saliva, his legs became weak and he could hardly stand.

He felt like a prey targeted by a wild beast, and could be torn to pieces at any time.

The giant catfish opened its bloody mouth, revealing its sharp teeth, let out a deafening roar, and pounced towards Chen Changyuan.

"Ah!" Chen Changyuan screamed and instinctively threw the jade in his hand at the giant catfish.

The jade stone hit the giant catfish's head, making a dull sound.

This time, it was like a mountain falling down on the giant catfish. It felt pain and its huge body rolled violently in the water. The waves it stirred up almost knocked Chen Changyuan down.

He quickly steadied himself and secretly felt lucky.

If I were hit by this beast, I would be skinned alive even if I didn't die.

The giant catfish felt pain and stopped attacking, swishing its tail wildly in the water.

Struggling, water splashed everywhere, like a rainstorm.

Chen Changyuan did not dare to neglect it, he knew that the opportunity was fleeting.

He quickly took out the hunting rifle from his back, aimed at the giant catfish's head, and with a loud "bang", a tongue of fire spurted out of the muzzle.

The giant catfish's movements came to an abrupt halt, and its huge body slowly sank into the water. Ripples appeared on the surface of the water, and the bright red blood slowly spread, dyeing the clear water blood red.
