Chapter 21 Encountering a Python While Gathering Herbs



Because the entire area was covered in frost, the path was very slippery, and it took the group most of the day to reach the top of the mountain.

"Dr. Ye, this summit is covered in frost. Can the Frostbite Grass you mentioned really grow in such a place?" one of the guards asked doubtfully.

Ye Qingcheng looked around the summit and nodded slightly: "Yes! That's what the books say."

"In books? This... Doctor Ye, what books say can't be entirely true! Look at how barren this place is, how could there be this Cold Snow Grass?"

"No, since it's written in the book, it must be there. Let's search around here."

"good."

Upon hearing this, the guards dispersed and went to search in different places.

Ye Qingcheng also looked at a recessed area on the mountain peak.

She thought for a moment, then walked over.

She initially thought it was just a groove, but it turned out to be a deep pit.

Because the ground was slippery and there was nothing to hold onto, she could only cautiously lean out and look into the deep pit.

Ye Qingcheng looked down for a while, her brows furrowing slightly.

Huh? That's strange. How come there's such a bottomless pit at the top?

And it's one thing to have a deep pit, but isn't this place frozen all year round? At the very least, the frost should fill the pit, or at the very least freeze its opening! It's really strange.

Ye Qingcheng looked at the deep pit, pondering in confusion.

After a while.

The four guards searched for a while, but couldn't find even a trace of a blade of grass.

The group sighed and came up behind Ye Qingcheng.

"Dr. Ye, we've searched everywhere, but we haven't found the herb you mentioned."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng frowned slightly and then said, "Come and take a look."

Upon hearing this, several guards stepped forward and leaned out.

"Dr. Ye, what's wrong with this deep pit?"

Don't you find this strange?

"What's strange about it?"

"This mountain is covered in frost all year round, so why is there a deep pit here? Isn't that strange?"

"Well?"

After hearing this, the guards exchanged glances and shook their heads in confusion.

"Dr. Ye, we don't understand what you mean."

Ye Qingcheng smiled, offered no explanation, and asked, "How is your lightness skill?"

"Lightness skill?"

"kindness!"

"We think we're all doing alright."

"Here's what we'll do: two of you stay up here, and the other two come down into this pit with me to take a look."

"Go down into this deep pit?"

"That's right."

"Alright, but Dr. Ye, if you can't go down, we can go down."

"No, I'm the only one who recognizes this Frostbite Snow Grass. If I don't go down, what if it really exists down there and you don't know about it? Wouldn't it be a wasted trip?"

"This...but..."

"Don't worry! I've also learned some self-defense techniques. The main reason I asked you to come down with me is for safety's sake; otherwise, I would have gone down by myself."

"Well... okay!"

"Alright, then you guys make your own arrangements and see who goes down first. I'll go down first."

After Ye Qingcheng finished speaking, she jumped into the deep pit without waiting for the guards to reply.

"Dr. Ye..."

The guards, caught off guard, shouted something.

However, two of them then volunteered to jump down.

This pit is very deep.

At this moment, Ye Qingcheng felt as if she had fallen into a bottomless abyss, falling endlessly as if there was no bottom to be seen.

After about several dozen breaths.

Ye Qingcheng felt herself touch the ground, and after she regained her balance, she opened her slightly closed eyes.

Then he immediately looked at the ground he was standing on.

At this point, because the pit was so deep and the surroundings were pitch black, she couldn't see her feet at all.

Ye Qingcheng frowned slightly.

But at that moment...

Knock knock!

The two guards who followed also landed on the ground.

Hearing the sound, Ye Qingcheng asked, "Are you two lords?"

"It's us, Dr. Ye. Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, gentlemen. It's too dark here. Do you have any tinder?"

“Oh, I brought it,” one of the guards replied, then took out a tinderbox, blew on it, and a flame instantly appeared.

The firelight illuminated the entire pit instantly.

And by the light of the fire.

Ye Qingcheng first looked at the ground beneath her feet.

They were standing in a thick patch of grass.

Then Ye Qingcheng looked at the surrounding walls, where several medicinal herbs were growing luxuriantly.

"This... Doctor Ye, this place is really strange. The top is covered with frost, while the bottom of this pit is covered with green grass, as if they are two separate areas. It's really unbelievable."

One of the guards looked at the green grass on the ground and exclaimed in amazement.

Ye Qingcheng nodded: "Indeed, this place is quite extraordinary."

"Dr. Ye, with so many herbs here, have you seen any of those Frostbite Snow Grass?"

Ye Qingcheng did not answer, but instead scanned the four walls with her eyes.

After a short while.

Ye Qingcheng suddenly shouted excitedly, "Yes, we found it!"

After shouting.

Ye Qingcheng lightly touched the ground with her toes and leaped directly towards the Cold Snow Grass.

this…

When the two guards saw that Ye Qingcheng also knew light-body skills, their eyes widened in disbelief.
