Chapter 209 211 A withered vine
Ning Qingyun was very familiar with this situation. This was the situation when he first entered the secret realm and the spiritual energy was infused into his body. Although it looked critical, it was actually easy to deal with. All he had to do was sort out the turbulent spiritual energy.
With Ning Qingyun's guidance of spiritual energy, Wang Yang's breathing and heartbeat gradually stabilized. When Ning Qingyun was about to stop, Wang Yang, who had been unconscious, moved his eyelids a few times and slowly opened his eyes.
He supported himself on the ground with one hand and covered his heart with the other hand. With a "wow" sound, he spat out another large mouthful of dirty blood. These were the residual toxins discharged by the spiritual energy in the process of combing the meridians.
"Wang Yang, how do you feel?" Yang Ping squatted in front of Wang Yang and asked carefully.
"I'm fine, don't worry, boss, thank you for saving my life." Wang Yang showed a weak smile on his face, turned his head and bowed slightly to Ning Qingyun to express his gratitude.
"I'm glad you're okay. We're all family, no need to thank me." Ning Qingyun finished his training and began to regulate his breathing.
Although he was not seriously injured, the feeling of emptiness in his meridians was unpleasant.
After Ning Qingyun finished regulating his breathing, he tied several trees into a row to make a raft, asked Tian Zhen to take care of the still weak Wang Yang and Yang Ping, and dragged the raft towards the center of the mud. In order to find the underground palace, he had come to the territory of the nine-headed monster snake many times to investigate. Combined with the map in his hand, he had a rough guess about the location of the underground palace.
Of course, Ning Qingyun was not in a very good condition at the moment and should not take risks. He did not want to explore the underground palace, but he was thinking about something and wanted to go to the central area to take a look.
Moreover, the Hydra was obviously in a worse condition and did not even retreat to the quagmire in the central area. It was obvious that it wanted to use this quagmire to stop their pursuit.
Ning Qingyun told Tian Zhen and the others that he was going to investigate the situation and would be back soon, so they should wait for a moment.
When he came here for the first time, he found a group of stone statues deep in the central area. In the center of the stone statues there was a dead vine with a bunch of fruits on it. This bunch of fruits was what Ning Qingyun was thinking about.
The skin of the fruit was a withered yellowish color, and looked dead and dull. When Ning Qingyun saw the withered vine, he thought of the plants that Rong Xianxian had planted on the balcony. Rong Xianxian loved taking care of those plants, planting, fertilizing, watering, and removing pests. She kept everything in order and was very busy.
Many of those plants are actually not very beautiful. Some can even be said to be very strange. Some are completely bare without any leaves. Some of the flowers do not smell sweet but instead emit strange odors. There is also a kind of plant whose leaves can drip water, and the dripping water can cause people to go blind.
Xianxian didn't allow him and the children to get close to these plants. He just looked at these plants when he looked at her across the balcony. He didn't recognize most of them. The few plants he recognized were the bright red cherry tomatoes with heavy fruits and a vigorous and green pine bonsai. This secret realm was full of spiritual energy and there were exotic flowers and plants everywhere. This dead vine grew in the central area of the nine-headed monster snake's territory. Although he didn't know what this thing was, he was sure that it was definitely not an ordinary tree. Xianxian liked those weird plants. I wonder if Xianxian likes this plant?
This dead vine looks lifeless, and those wilted fruits seem to be the seeds left by the dead vine. Trees can be planted with seeds.
He wanted to take the fruit away at that time, but the cunning monster snake seemed to have discovered him long ago. It ambushed underground and suddenly emerged, turning the area into a quagmire. It was a really fierce battle. Ning Qingyun was seriously injured and almost died in the quagmire. Fortunately, at the critical moment, someone broke into the territory of the nine-headed monster snake and distracted its attention, which enabled him to find an opportunity to escape.
Now the nine-headed monster snake was seriously injured and no one knew where it had hidden. Ning Qingyun could not help but come to the vicinity of the stone statues again. The withered vine still stood there listlessly, and all the fruits on it were intact. It would not take much time to pick a fruit and leave.
The mud in the area near the stone statues was very thin, and the raft was almost completely sunk into the mud. Ning Qingyun threw a rope around the stone statue and pulled it hard. It seemed quite stable. Ning Qingyun estimated the distribution of the stone statues and the position of the dead vines. He held the rope with one hand, performed a light body technique, and leaped into the group of stone statues. As soon as one foot touched the ground, he felt a sinking sensation. Ning Qingyun quickly pulled the rope and stepped on the instep of the stone statue with his other foot.
There is clearly a layer of rock underneath, not mud, so why is it sinking?
Why didn't those stone statues sink? There must be something strange in this area. Ning Qingyun was confused and couldn't help but feel a little alert.
Fortunately, he had thought in advance about what mechanisms might be hidden in the stone statues, so he did not dare to step on them firmly. The last step was just a test of foothold. Ning Qingyun hung himself on this stone statue and threw the rope to another stone statue, then jumped little by little to the stone statue closest to the dead vine. Even if he reached the closest place to the dead vine, there was still an insurmountable distance. How could he get those fruits?
Ning Qingyun could take a knife tied to a rope and throw it over to cut the dead vine, pull it over and run away. This would undoubtedly be the fastest way, but the vine is dead. What if the fruit falls off due to the vibration caused by the cut?
The rocks here are so strange. If the fruit sinks into the rock layer, it will be even more troublesome.
But the withered vine was thin and crooked, and he had no place to stand. It seemed a bit boring to do this.
Ning Qingyun felt around his body and found that the Ruyi Wheel was large enough. He threw it over first and caught it under the dead vine. With his other hand, he threw the rope tied to the knife over with a "whoosh". With a "clang" sound, the knife flew backwards. Ning Qingyun pulled it back and saw that the sharp blade was rolled up like a twist and could not be repaired. The knife was already useless.
Ning Qingyun was speechless. What the hell was this? It looked like a dead branch! How could it break his sword?
Despite such a violent impact, the fruit was still firmly hanging on the dead vine and seemed to be motionless. Ning Qingyun pulled the chain of the Ruyi Wheel, and the Ruyi Wheel, which was flattened to be used as a blanket, tilted instantly. The serrated edge of the ring cut across the root of the dead vine.
With a "clang" sound, a burst of sparks flashed, and the dead vine seemed to shake slightly, leaving no trace where the Ruyi Wheel had cut.
Ning Qingyun suddenly felt uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen.
