Chapter 51 Arrival at Jingyue Valley
Lin Yue stood in front of a dilapidated hole only the size of a fist, with a row of crows flying over her head. Could it be possible to enter the underground river from here?
"Weng Toubai, are you sure this is really the road that leads to your home?"
The white hairpin was wrapped around Lin Yue's wrist, and the little white flower on top of it trembled guiltily, and Ye Shen rubbed it in a flattering manner.
"Lin Yue, this is the path I took. I certainly didn't consider your size! But don't worry, the gap in the underground river below is huge, you will definitely be able to get down. This cave entrance is also the one I pushed out when I came out."
Weng Toubai witnessed with his own eyes how Lin Yue calmly killed hundreds of his own kind in just one hour, and the smell of blood lingered in his nose for several days.
"It would be best."
Lin Yue rolled her eyes gracefully. She had long been accustomed to the poor little Ma Hu that she had picked up casually. Since it could help her at the critical moment, she decided not to bother with it.
Next, Lin Yue made a wooden hoe and worked for half a day before digging to the mountain wall connected to the underground river.
With the slightly salty sea breeze, it turned out that the place below led to the sea. He felt relieved that Weng Toubai had not lied to him.
Originally, Lin Yue still had some doubts about what Weng Toubai said. He didn't give her the impression that he was naive and brainless, but rather very smart.
"Is this your house right down there? Is it that close?"
"Of course not. I walked a long way along the dark river before choosing this place. It will take a long time to go back, probably four or five days!"
Lin Yue held her forehead with her hand. She had previously thought that it was just at the bottom of the mountain or on the other side, and that she could go there and come back on the same day. Now that she was told that it took so long, she didn't know if her parents would be worried if they knew.
He had no choice but to return to Baixiang Village and find Lin Lang, who was now able to take care of herself. He told her that he would be away for half a month to a month. He also left a letter for his parents, asking them not to worry about his safety.
Lin Yue followed the dug cave to the wall of the underground river, where many vines grew, completely covering up the traces of her digging. Although few people came to this place, it is better to be safe than sorry. If other lucky people found this place, there would be a dispute.
I originally thought that the underground river below would be very dark and damp, and would breed many insects and ants, especially creatures that do not like sunlight. On the contrary, under the soil layer is a layer of karst-like rocks, most of which are irregular.
It was dry and very clean. Apart from the fish in the gurgling water, Lin Yue did not find any other living creatures in it.
Thanks to the help of the Ongtoubai and its vines tied to the cliff, it was relatively easy to travel. If it were someone else, Lin Yue could not think of any other way except to dive into the underground river and swim across.
Because there was no sunrise or moonset in the underground river, Lin Yue could not feel the passage of time. If her stomach had not rumbled at mealtime, she might not have known how much time had passed.
Lin Yue dug out the fish from the ashes, feeling a little impatient. She had been traveling for three days without rest, and the road ahead was still endless darkness, with no change at all.
"Weng Toubai, tell me honestly, how long will it take?"
Weng Toubai connected his senses, swayed from side to side, and looked a little guilty.
"Almost there, almost there."
Lin Yue didn't give it any chance to be careless.
"How long will it take for it to be soon?"
Weng Toubai shook the poor little flower and told the truth reluctantly.
"Based on the speed they've been going over the past two days, it'll take at least ten days to get to my neighborhood."
Lin Yue's blood rushed to his head. Ten days?
This is also called happiness. If you don’t ask yourself, it will fool you.
"It only took me three days to get here from home. I never knew you were so much slower than grass."
Lin Yue choked. Don't think that she can't hear you if you whisper to her. Don't forget, it's very quiet here except for the sound of running water. How could she not hear you?
Lin Yue, who had long known what kind of person Weng Toubai was, took a deep breath and decided to let it go and let herself go.
In the following time, Lin Yue just kept on going, and finally on the ninth day, some changes appeared.
There is some moss growing on the edge of the dark river. If you look closely, you can see a faint glow. It is not very obvious in the dark environment. As you continue to move forward, the light of the moss becomes more and more obvious.
In the back, you can even see a grass growing on the edge of the underground river, using its vines to catch fish from the river and "eat" them.
It was a grass as thick as a small tree, with serrated leaves almost as big as banana leaves, and a red flower blooming on the top. Its roots stretched out into the river to catch fish, and every time it caught a fish, it stuffed it directly into the flower.
Lin Yue, who was floating in the air, saw clearly that when the fish arrived, the gorgeous flower opened its mouth wide, which was filled with densely packed teeth. With one sharp move, it cut the huge fish into countless small pieces.
At that time, Lin Yue felt a chill. She thought that this trip might be dangerous, but she didn't expect it to be so dangerous just after reaching the edge.
"Weng Toubai, what kind of grass is this? Do you recognize it?"
Weng Toubai, who was sleeping comfortably on Lin Yue's wrist, raised his head.
"Hey, isn't this the demon sister who lives in the inner circle? Why is she here? It turns out she's hungry and out looking for food."
"Sister Piranha?"
"Sister Piranha Plant is famous in Jingyue Valley for being difficult to mess with. She eats many wild animals every year. That's why she is the plant that has been out of the valley the longest and has also passed the most humans."
"Does it eat people?"
Lin Yue was a little scared. The name sounded very ferocious. The carnivorous plant wouldn’t really eat people, would it?
"I don't know about that. We've only seen Piranha Plants eating wild animals and some fish in the sea, not humans!"
Perhaps Lin Yue's gaze was too scorching, and a brown vine as thick as an arm attacked her.
Fortunately, Lin Yue was alert enough and kicked back to the mountain to avoid the attack, but she never expected that there were barbs on it.
The speed was still a bit slow, and the clothes on my arms were directly torn into several strips. Fortunately, there was a piece of golden armor inside, which I found in the warehouse of a wealthy businessman in the county. I put it on this time despite the danger, but fortunately I put it on.
Weng Toubai quickly shouted, "Sister Piranha Plant, we're one of us! It's me, Weng Toubai!"
The carnivorous plant that had been standing quietly on the shore also turned around, opened its flowers, and sprayed venom.
Lin Yue controlled the vines to rise into the air, directly leaving the attack range of the carnivorous plant.
The ground, cliffs and rocks that were stuck to the venom were corroded into large holes.
"Shhh, shhh."
Lin Yue patted his chest with lingering fear. What just sprayed out must be the gastric juice of the carnivorous plant. It is so poisonous, what can't be corroded by it?
"Wow, Piranha Sister, don't you recognize me? I'm super cute, my most beloved little brother!"
Weng Toubai let go of Lin Yue's wrist and ran towards the carnivorous plant.
