Chapter 198 Misty Forest
Yun Li smiled helplessly: "Grandma, we want to go up the mountain to collect herbs, not to die. Can you tell us how to cross the river?"
After that, he took out some small change from his sleeve and handed it to the old lady.
The old lady's eyes lit up when she saw the silver. She looked around and quickly took the silver and put it into her sleeve.
"Old woman, let me tell you something. Go straight to the east end of the town. There's an old man rowing a boat along the river. Give him some money and he'll take you across the river!
Oh, I'm not being nosy, but many people go into the mountains to look for medicine. They say there are natural treasures and elixirs on Kunlun Mountain. Anyway, it's all over the place, but over the years, no one who went up the mountain has come down!
You better be careful! I heard there are ferocious beasts and a giant monster roaming around on that mountain. It's terrifying! Kunlun Mountain is different from ordinary mountains!
Yun Li's eyes flickered. "Heavenly materials and earthly treasures?" She had only read about these in ancient books and had always thought they were fictional legends. Hearing them from a living person was truly a different feeling.
The so-called "natural treasures" are rare treasures born in nature. These treasures are considered extremely valuable due to their unique characteristics and powerful effects. If there are really natural treasures on Kunlun Mountain, then we can understand why those people came up to explore even though they knew they would die.
Not to mention that she was a little itchy, not to mention the natural treasures, there were definitely precious and exotic herbs in mountains like Kunlun Mountain. She had a premonition that Chinese herbal medicines that had disappeared in modern times could be found here. In any case, she and Helian Chi were determined to go to Kunlun Mountain!
Yunli thanked her softly, "Thank you, grandma! We will be careful!"
The two asked a few more people and the information they got was the same as the rumors. The reason why there are so few people in this town now is that the people in the early years were curious. And because it is close to Kunlun Mountain, there are people who want to go up the mountain every day, but they never come down again.
So no one knows about the situation on the mountain. The family motto of those who stayed behind is not to go up Kunlun Mountain!
"Come on, let's go back and rest. Get a good night's sleep tonight, and we'll go up the mountain early tomorrow morning!"
"kindness!"
…
The next morning, Yunli and Helianchi woke up early in the space.
The two children were still sleeping in their cribs. I didn't disturb them and left the room after tidying up.
Both of them were dressed neatly and neatly. Helian Chi carried a bag on his back, which contained some chocolate biscuits, spiritual spring water, various daggers, ropes and other tools.
Follow the direction the old lady told me last night and walk east along the river. There is an old man rowing a boat.
I walked to the river and headed east for a while, and there really was an old man and a boat parked by the river. As far as I could see, there was only this old man, and no other boats...
As they approached, before they could speak, the old man asked, "Are you going to take a boat to the other side?"
Yunli nodded and said, "Yes, let's go to the other side of the river!"
The old man asked again: "Are you going to Kunlun Mountain?"
Yunli nodded
"Be careful! There's fog and swamps in that forest! Many people have died in the forest before they even get into the mountains!"
Yun Li and Helian Chi looked at each other. The information provided by this old man was very effective!
Fog? Swamp? Looks like the forest across the river is tough.
"Okay, thank you, old man!"
After getting on the boat, Yun Li chatted with the old man for a while. The old man who was rowing the boat did know more than the people in the town.
At this moment, the two of them knew what was going on and were mentally prepared.
About an hour later, they finally reached the other side of the river. After getting off the boat, Yunli gave the old man an extra ten taels of silver. After thanking him, the two of them walked straight into the forest.
When I first entered the forest, I observed that the surroundings looked no different from other forests.
But the deeper you go, the stronger the feeling of the sky covering the sun becomes. It feels like this forest is unfathomable, mysterious and deep. The strange thing is that in such a large forest there is not a single bird singing or insect chirping. It is so quiet that it is scary.
The two had to be extremely careful. Yun Li had to pay attention to the situation of the two children in the space while walking.
The two children were about to wake up, so she had to go in first to feed them and have breakfast.
Yun Li pointed to the big tree in front and said: "Let's take a rest in the open space in front. The child will wake up soon after entering the space."
"good!"
After saying that, he looked up and saw the ground in front of him was surging. He didn't know if it was because of his eyes or what, but Yun Li felt that the ground about 300 meters ahead was surging up and down in a wave-like manner.
Pulling Helian Chi, he said, "Achi, look at the ground ahead. Is there anything wrong? It seems to be moving."
Helian Chi looked in the direction of Yun Li's finger and found that it was just as she said. The ground looked very soft and kept surging up and down.
"You're not mistaken. This is a swamp, but it's no more dangerous than an ordinary swamp. Look, the mud is surging in one direction, and there seems to be a whirlpool in the middle! The ground there is concave!"
"Then how do we get there?"
"Li'er, go into the space and settle the two children. Then come out and take a look around to see if there is any other way to go."
"good!"
The two entered the space first, settled the two children, and after they had enough food and drink, they still put the children in the bubble balls on the lawn and let them play. This inflatable castle is very big for the two children, and they have not yet tired of playing. Both of them are very happy, and the colorful bubble balls make them have a lot of fun.
"Baby, you just be good here. Daddy and Mommy have something to do outside. They'll come in and keep you company later, okay?"
Xiao Haoer waved his hand and said, "Mom... is busy... go and get busy..."
Xiao Yue'er smiled and rubbed her saliva on Yun Li's face: "Kiss... kiss..."
The two kissed the two children again and again, and then reluctantly left the space.
The two looked around the forest around the swamp and found that the swamp was very large and basically there was no way around it.
Suddenly, a white mist appeared in front of him, and Helian Chi quickly grabbed Yun Li's hand as a conditioned reflex.
The two people are beside each other and can touch each other and feel each other's body temperature, but they can't see each other or the front. There is only a vast expanse of white in front of them.
Suddenly, an unknown situation appeared, making Yunli feel uneasy.
Helian Chi said in a deep voice: "Don't be afraid, Li'er, hold on to me, I will use my Qinggong skills and we will try it from a high place."
"Well, be careful! If something goes wrong, tell me and we'll enter the space immediately!"
"good!"
After saying that, Helian Chi flew up from the spot. He remembered that there were trees all around him just now, but when he flew into the sky, he still couldn't see anything, as if the forest had suddenly disappeared.
…
"I can't see anything. Li'er, let's go into the space!"
"good"
Yun Li nestled in Helian Chi's arms and used her mind to flash into the space.
Yun Li frowned and pondered the scene just now. "What's going on? Why did so much white fog suddenly appear?"
Suddenly, she stared at Helian Chi's clothes. There was some fine white powder in the folds of his sleeves and arms, a thin layer, like frost.
He wanted to reach out to get some, but as if he thought of something, he quickly retracted his hand.
Helian Chi looked at her like this, then glanced at his sleeves and asked, "What's wrong with Li'er? Is there something strange?"
Yun Li nodded and said, "Okay, come with me to the medical room! Be gentle, and try not to move your arms. Don't shake the stuff off your sleeves!"
"good!"
In the medical room, Yun Li put on gloves and carefully took some powder from Helian Chi's sleeve and did some testing.
After about half an hour, she finally figured out the powders and discovered that they actually had tracking effects. They could be called tracking powders!
You can track and locate at any time by applying these powders. My god, the person who can develop this thing is really a genius!
Then I thought, why is there such a thing in the forest? This can't be a gift from nature, it must be man-made, right?
Yun Li's mind was just like the white mist that suddenly appeared, blank and without any thoughts.
White mist... white mist? Could it be that the white mist contains tracking powder?
She told Helian Chi about her findings and suspicions, and the two discussed it for a while.
Yun Li pondered for a moment and said, "How about we go out and take a look again? If it's man-made, and we're infected with this thing, then someone will come looking for us. Then we can go along with it and see who it is and what their purpose is?"
"Okay, let's go out. By the way, Li'er, can your night vision binoculars see in this situation?"
Yun Li shook her head and said, "I can't see it. It's just a vast expanse of white, so there's almost no effect at all."
"That's ok, let's go out and adapt to the situation!"
"good"
To prevent inhalation of any harmful gases, Yunli took two medical-grade protective masks and wrapped them tightly, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.
Then he pulled Helian Chi out of the space
"Eh~ Why is there no white mist?"
Yun Li looked at the dense forest in front of her. There was a little fox under the tree in front of her. It was frightened by their sudden appearance and ran away.
She was sure they were in the same place where they had just entered the space.
Helian Chi observed his surroundings. His keen sense of crisis made him feel that this place was in danger: "Li'er, I think this place is too strange. We shouldn't stay here for long. Let's get out of here quickly!"
Seeing his serious expression, Yun Li nodded and said, "Yes."
The swamp cannot be avoided. Only after passing the swamp can you know what is ahead.
Helian Chi used his Qinggong skills to move in the direction where the fox had just appeared and the direction it had escaped. He shuttled through the middle of the tree and looked down at the surrounding terrain.
Indeed, the swamp where the fox appeared was not as deep as the swamp with whirlpools they encountered at the beginning.
So I resolutely followed the direction of the little fox. I didn't know when the white fog would appear again, so I had better leave here as soon as possible.
Just as they left not far away, two dark shadows suddenly appeared in front of them. They were two men in black clothes, wearing masks on their faces, and were wrapped more tightly than them.
"Who are you?"
Helian Chi looked at them, narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a deep voice, the pistol in his sleeve was already quietly drawn.
One of the men in black said arrogantly:
"How dare you trespass into the Netherworld Palace without permission? Come with us!"
The three words "Nether Palace" echoed repeatedly in Yun Li's mind. Nether Palace? Nether Flower?
Could it be that the Nether Flower is related to this Nether Palace? Doesn't the Nether Flower grow in the crater of a volcano?
Driven by curiosity, I decided to go with these two to see what they were doing!
So Yunli winked at Helian Chi, signaling him to follow them.
Yun Li said apologetically: "Two brothers, where are you taking us? We just happened to pass by here. I'm sorry for the offense."
"Hmph, passing by here? Are you just passing by dressed like that? Besides, anyone who dares to enter the Misty Forest must be a bit ambitious! Stop talking nonsense, you can't leave anyway, just follow us obediently, you'll know when you get there!"
Yun Li subconsciously asked: "Why can't we leave? What will be the consequences if I don't go with you?"
The two men in black exchanged glances, then laughed loudly: "Haha~ You've been poisoned since you stepped into this forest. Do you think you can still get out? Or even get back in?"
Yun Li was puzzled and took her own pulse quietly. Ah, bah, she was sure she was not poisoned! Who was she trying to scare? Or maybe the poison had no effect on her. After all, she drank spiritual spring water every day to nourish her body, so ordinary poisons could not get close to her.
"Don't waste time here, both of you, come with us!"
After that, the two of them stared at them, made way, and motioned them to go ahead.
After walking for a while, Yun Li took Helian Chi's pulse and found that there was nothing abnormal in his pulse, so she felt relieved.
The two men in black led them around in the dense forest. The strange thing about this dense forest was that no matter where they went, it was like a maze, and the scenery was the same everywhere. However, Yunli still left marks along the way.
After walking for about three hours, a black palace suddenly appeared in the depths of the forest.
This caught Yun Li and He Lian Chi off guard, because they had been walking for so long, if it wasn't daytime, they would have been sure that they were moving forward, otherwise they would have thought they were standing still.
This forest is so weird. All the trees are the same height, and all the reference points feel the same, including the fallen leaves on the ground, which are indistinguishable.
I just know that they keep walking...
As they approached the palace, the three characters Nether Palace appeared clearly before their eyes. They both smelled a strong smell of blood.
The two looked at each other and looked around the palace. The bloody smell came from this palace.
Suddenly, a series of terrifying screams came out from the hall.
The two guards pointed at them and said in a deep voice: "Go in!"
Yun Li asked: "Where is this?"
"Netherworld Palace! Can't you see the words so big? Stop talking nonsense and get in!"
Yun Li and Helian Chi walked towards the palace. As they climbed the long steps, the closer they got to the palace gate, the clearer the shouting and the stronger the smell of blood.
The two walked in with doubts.
After entering, the scene inside shocked the two
