Chapter 321: What is the price of priceless goods?
"ah……"
"Um……"
"ah……"
"Um……"
“Ahhh…”
"Um?"
…
In the dark mountains where day and night are unknown, strange moans, cries, and weird laughs echo for a long time. As long as a seed of fear arises in a person's heart, it will be infinitely magnified until it breaks down.
Before setting out, the elders of the tribe had already warned Mu Lan of this, so he was careful with his state of mind at all times and never showed the slightest fear.
She kept reminding herself that as long as you are not afraid, the ghosts here are just ordinary evil spirits and are not invincible.
The rustling sound behind her never stopped, coupled with those strange moans, Mu Lan knew that she was being followed by a ghost.
It seeks to scare itself.
But it was destined to disappoint.
Mu Lan was halfway through the dense forest when he suddenly jumped forward, lowered his body, and lay down in the bushes, not caring at all about the sharp branches scratching his skin.
Before entering the Uncanny Valley, all nine of them had learned a lot about ghosts. She knew that ghosts were not omniscient and omnipotent. It must have released something in order for it to lock onto her.
So she instantly stopped, held her breath, and concentrated...it was as if she had merged into the jungle in an instant!
This is the talent of the Gaoqiao Cave people, and it is the key to their inheritance from ancient times to the present day and their ranking among the top 72 cave barbarians. The mountains and forests are their home ground.
Mu Lan's skin was bronze, and her figure was not thin but her curves were very smooth. Although the weather was very cold, she was only wearing a simple animal-patterned bra and bottoms, and was bending her long and powerful legs.
It looks like a leopard gathering its strength to hunt.
Her eyes were also like those of a wild beast, their color was strange and clear, dangerous and seductive.
There were dark brown lines all over her body, and when she held her breath, the breath of her body instantly merged with the surrounding trees and became one.
She lay there quietly for a long time, and there was a constant rustling sound around her, as if the thing was approaching her.
Getting closer...
When both parties in a hunt are in the dark, the impatient one becomes the prey.
Finally, the ghost appeared.
It seemed to be a little boy.
It was wearing ragged clothes, with dishevelled hair and pale skin, floating out from the depths of the dense forest. Its dark pupils moved around as if it was looking for something. Its body was less than three feet away from Mu Lan.
Here it comes.
Mulan remained motionless.
After a long time, the little boy seemed to be tired of searching, so he turned around and left in another direction.
The time is now!
Mu Lan's body suddenly jumped up from the bushes. He kicked his legs with a tremendous force and shot out like an arrow from a bow!
At the same time, her left hand had already picked up a bone knife made of white bones and printed with talismans.
laugh--
The bone knife fell through the wind.
But at this moment, the little boy's hair suddenly spread out!
Under the hair on the back of his head, there was actually a face hidden! The eyebrows and eyes of this face were similar to those on the front, but much more mature, the face of an adult man. Putting it on the body of this child, it was even more terrifying.
Mu Lan was startled. The bone knife was originally intended to cut open the ghost's skull, but it fell into the ghost's mouth! Ka!
The bone knife was actually bitten by it! However, in addition to Mu Lan's own true energy, the knife also carried the talisman refined by the elders of the tribe, which had a strong inhibitory effect on ghosts.
There was a sizzling sound, and white smoke came out of the ghost's mouth. It quickly opened its mouth and made a squeaking sound.
"Daddy..." the child's face in front called out.
Mu Lan did not hesitate at all. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he slashed the ghost on the back with another knife.
"ah……"
A scream came out, but it was not the two faces above! Behind its torn clothes, the face of an adult woman was revealed. This time, there was a blood mark in the middle of the woman's face, and she was screaming.
“Mother…”
The child's face in front of him turned back suddenly, his eyes bloodshot! The screams of the two faces behind him seemed to make him go berserk.
Mu Lan didn't expect that it was so young, but it could carry the entire family on its back!
"roar--"
The child's face suddenly pounced towards him, and Mu Lan stabbed him with another knife.
Puff——
The child held the blade tightly with both hands, and was instantly burned with white smoke, but he never let go. The two faces behind him suddenly tore off, with skin and flesh sticking together, and bit towards Mu Lan with a scream.
In desperation, Mu Lan had two choices.
He dropped his knife and dodged the attack.
Without dodging, he chopped down with all his might.
Mu Lan naturally chose the latter! In this kind of fight, giving up one's most powerful weapon is tantamount to death.
Chi Chi Chi——
Several flashes of blood appeared one after another.
The two faces bit Mu Lan's left and right thighs, and instantly became full, as if sucking Mu Lan's flesh and blood! Mu Lan's bone knife also broke through the hands and fell on the child's body.
With one knife, the ghost's body was cut open.
There is no spine or internal organs inside, only a faint white light.
"Ah..." Three faces screamed at the same time.
Mu Lan mercilessly chopped dozens of times in an instant, carving the words "精", "忠", "报" and "国" on the skinny body.
Bang!
Finally, there was a loud bang, and the ghost exploded.
A tiny red light fell, and Mu Lan staggered to catch it and put it away carefully. Then he lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Blood gushed from his legs.
Although he was only bitten twice, the ghost had a powerful ability to suck flesh and blood. In just a moment, two hideous holes appeared on Mu Lan's legs.
"Ah..." Mu Lan first circulated his internal Qi to help himself stop the bleeding, then dragged his body to pick two herbs from the side, chewed them up and applied them on the wound.
The burning pain made her cry out in pain, and she was secretly discouraged. With such an injury... her fight for the Son of God might end here, and she might not even be able to leave here alive.
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard footsteps coming from the front.
Mu Lan was shocked.
The ghosts in the Uncanny Valley clearly have their own territories, so why would they come back again after we just killed one here?
It was difficult to hide the strong smell of blood, so Mu Lan picked up the bone knife and prepared to fight to the death with the enemy !
The first person to appear was a black-faced man dressed in Taoist clothes, with a bulging bag on his back.
Mu Lan raised the knife high in his hand!
bring it on!
Let me show you, you evil ghost...
There are no weak children in Gaoqiaodong!
But then, another white face popped out, with an... indescribable feeling.
That feeling...
At that moment, a thousand or eight hundred adjectives flashed through Mu Lan's mind, but in the end, only two words were the most appropriate.
hansome.
"Ah..." Mu Lan couldn't help but moan.
The daughter of Gao Qiaodong suddenly felt soft in her heart.
At this moment, there was only one thought in her mind.
Even if he is a ghost.
That's probably a good ghost.
"Master, this girl seems to be a person."
That black-faced ghost... no, the black-faced Taoist priest suddenly shouted, and the handsome Taoist priest behind him looked at Mu Lan and nodded slightly.
"That's right."
…
"My name is Mulan, and I am from Gaoqiao Cave..."
A moment later, in a clean open space in the jungle, Mu Lan raised her eyes shyly and spoke softly.
"According to you Heluo people, it is one of the seventy-two barbarian tribes."
"Hello." Li Chu nodded slightly.
No matter what tribe they are from, it is quite kind to meet a human being in this valley full of ghosts.
Dulanke asked, "Miss Mulan, why did you come to this terrifying valley?"
"This is a competition for our Gaoqiao Cave to select a new Saint." Mu Lan replied: "Our previous Saint..."
As she spoke, her eyes changed as she looked at the two of them, and she finally said, "He died in the battle with your Arakidong two days ago. The main reason for our defeat was that... your Heluo's general Qin Zhenghu sent troops to help Arakidong."
"This matter..." Li Chu guessed something, so he said: "It is very likely that the evildoers of the Demon Sect are interfering, and it is not the decision of the Heluo court. The inside story will be clear in the future."
"Yes." Dulanke nodded immediately, "It's unclear whether that idiot is General Qin himself, and the military order he issued was not approved by anyone. Miss Mu, please don't be prejudiced against our entire Heluo because of this."
Unexpectedly, Mu Lan nodded and said, "We know that our clan leader has sent people to Chaoge City to report the situation in southern Xinjiang to your emperor. Including the actions of General Qin in the Valley of Terror..."
"This is a very familiar place to us Gaoqiaodong people. He thought those actions were very secretive, but in fact we discovered them all."
"So...it was you who passed on the news to Chaoge." Li Chu understood.
"It's just that our Saint Son has died, so we need to quickly select a new Saint Son." Mu Lan continued, "The way our tribe selects Saint Sons is to send the best of the new generation of young people into this Horror Valley. The one who can walk out alive and bring out the most Blood Demon Crystals will be the new Saint Son."
"Wow." Dulanke exclaimed, "You guys are really wild. Are you coming here to build up your courage?"
"You could say that... the trick to entering the Horror Valley is to forget fear." Mu Lan said, "The elders of our tribe all said that there are demons here that specialize in devouring human fear, so they try every means to scare people. The more afraid you are, the stronger its power will be. And their power will condense into blood demon crystals."
"Blood Demon Crystal..." Li Chu noticed the word she mentioned twice, "What is that?"
"It is the essence of power of all the ghosts in the Horror Valley. The specific source is unclear, but the more powerful the ghost, the larger and purer the blood magic crystal it possesses. This blood magic crystal can be transformed into the power of inheritance on the altar of our tribe, so it is very precious."
Mu Lan carefully took out a few small, finely shattered red blood crystals and showed them to them as if they were treasures. She didn't dare to hand them too close, as if she was afraid that they would snatch them away.
Seeing the Blood Demon Crystal in her hand, Li Chu and Du Lanke were silent for a moment.
"The power it contains is amazing and rare, right?" Mu Lan thought they were shocked by it, and said, "If you have the chance to kill the ghosts in this valley, you can also get it."
"Miss Mulan." Li Chu asked, "You said this thing... is very precious?"
"Yes." Mu Lan nodded, "To our tribe, it is priceless."
"What is the price of priceless?" Li Chu suddenly asked again.
"Ah?" Mulan was stunned.
Is this how all Heluo men chat? "If someone wants to sell this thing, and you spend money to buy it..." Li Chu said seriously: "What price can you give?"
"Heh." Mu Lan smiled, "How is it possible? Such a rare thing..."
Her words suddenly stopped.
Because at Li Chu's signal, Dulanke spread out the package behind him with a rustling sound, revealing a large pile of... dazzling, gleaming, pure... Blood Demon Crystals.
Some of the larger ones are as big as fists, while others are as big as quail eggs, shining brightly in the dim light.
In comparison, the diamonds in Mu Lan's hand suddenly became worthless broken diamonds.
