I continued to move forward, looking back from time to time, but the Kunk woman kept pushing me forward, so I couldn't see anything. I could only hear screams echoing in this narrow checkpoint. I couldn't help feeling sad. In fact, the two of them had already reminded me just now, but I was only thinking about getting down as soon as possible, so...
Listening to the chewing sound and the sound of the Kunk man no longer responding, I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
Finally, after passing the narrow pass, we finally arrived inside, where there were many devil flies with purple bellies and tails floating. Some of them were flying around, and some were surrounding the flowers. I thought the so-called devil flower should be an extremely eerie flower, but it was not. The whole flower was plain, small and inconspicuous, shaped like a daisy, nothing special, but the fragrance of the flower was particularly strong.
It smells like a fresh fragrance, just like the leaves used to make scented tea, but such an ordinary flower is the object of the evil flies.
The flowers kept circling around me, and they stayed around me for a long time, tirelessly, more diligently than bees and butterflies. It was really a huge wonder. I took a closer look at one of the flowers, and couldn't help but become even more surprised. It is said that the brighter the flower, the more poisonous it is, but the flower in front of me is not bright at all. It is actually called a devil flower?
The woman stood at the entrance of the valley for a while, looking at the other side for a long time, and finally turned around with disappointment, with many traces of tears on her face.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I didn't have the patience to think carefully about what you said, and I hurt your man. I'm really sorry." I said.
She mumbled a few words, tears streaming down her face, and then she grabbed my shoulders again and pulled me, and this time I followed her pulling and moving without messing around.
She pulled me to a place some distance away from the devil flies and the flowers, forced me to sit down, and said a few words. I roughly understood that she wanted me to not move. I was feeling so guilty now, so I just did what she said. I just sat there without saying anything. After she wiped her tears with her arm and made sure that I didn't move, she went towards the flowers.
I was worried about her safety and worried that something might happen to her, and I was also afraid that the centipede would attack that side and then come towards us. I could only watch from both sides, but I couldn't move. After all, the Kunk woman had specifically told me that I didn't listen to what they said before and therefore suffered a great loss. Now I should listen to them, after all, they are the ones who are familiar with this area.
She walked into the flowers full of flying devil flies, but first grabbed a pile of black mud on the ground and smeared it on her body and arms, smearing it everywhere. Then she walked to one of the bunches, lay down, and carefully reached out to the flower stalk with her hand. With a twist, the flower stalk broke immediately, and an amazing scene happened. When the flower stem broke, a lot of white juice immediately gushed out, as clear as spring water, as if there was a water storage pipe in the flower stalk.
But the scary thing is that after the juice flowed onto the ground, it made a crackling sound and white smoke came out of the ground, which immediately made the demon flies fall down one after another. It was obviously an extremely poisonous smoke. I couldn't help swallowing my saliva. It seemed like an ordinary thing, but it was so full of mystery, dangerous and deadly.
Then the woman waited for the smoke to dissipate, then reached out to pick another one. During this time, the demon flies became restless, flying around, and the buzzing made the entire valley entrance ring. However, she looked left and right but couldn't find anything as if they were frightened. After a while, they returned to normal, and while they were not making any more noise, the woman picked another one in the same way.
In total, she picked six or seven in a blink of an eye. During this period, many demon flies died, all choked to death by the rising gas. I was so scared watching this. If she had forgotten any step just now, the situation would definitely not be like this now. It was because the woman was experienced that she did it with ease. If I had gone in as rudely as I did just now, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Just as I was thinking about this, I heard a lot of noises coming from the crevice behind me. It was the sound of the centipede crawling. I wanted to inform the woman, but she seemed to be aware of my behavior. She just pointed at her mouth and waved her hands vigorously. It seemed that she knew the situation but didn't want me to shout.
"But if the centipede comes, won't we both die? What is she thinking?" I couldn't help but get nervous.
Now on the one hand she is telling me not to move, and on the other hand the centipede is about to attack. There is an obvious contradiction between the two, and I don't know which one I should take care of, whether to act according to my own danger level or to trust that woman.
After thinking it over carefully, I sighed and decided to just listen to her. After all, even if the centipede wanted to eat us, what could we do? I didn't have a good way to deal with it.
The centipede had not arrived yet, but it had already exuded a very strong smell. The strange thing was that it was not a stinky smell, nor a fishy smell, but on the contrary a fragrant smell. If you had to say what it was, it was quite like the smell of herbs, and the smell of stewed herbal soup. How could a big centipede have such a strange smell? It was really puzzling.
Turning around, I saw that the Kunk woman was still picking the devil flowers, and there were also some other plant roots on the grass. She kept pulling and picking them in that way. She seemed to care nothing about the situation here. I couldn't help but want to stand up and hide, but this place seemed calm now, but in fact it was turbulent and full of danger. If I moved a little, it might not only affect myself but also the Kunk woman.
I have already killed a man, so I don't want to kill another one. Forget it, I'll just stay still even if I'm beaten to death. I can't avoid it anyway.
At this time, the centipede poked its head out from the crevice in the mountain, and the pincers in its mouth moved slowly towards me. I couldn't help but tighten my grip, watching it getting closer and closer to me, watching its body getting bigger and bigger. I slowly pulled out the Golden Que Sword, and if it really didn't work, I would use my last bit of strength to kill it.
If I use the Golden Sword twice, I'm afraid I'll go into shock or die, right? But thinking that even if I die, I have to let that Kunk woman give the antidote to Yunwen, I can't help but want to kill it!
"Rip!" The centipede shouted at me and was about to pounce on me.
The sword was unsheathed, and I swung it, ready to fight it to the death. However, at this moment, the centipede opened its mouth wide, and a lot of green juice flowed out of its mouth. Its whole body began to stiffen rapidly. It was a centipede that died but not yet stiffened, but this one in front of me died so hastily. The key point was that I hadn't even used my power yet, so why was it dead?
Just when I was frightened and doubtful, I saw a wooden thorn on the centipede's body, which had penetrated halfway. I turned to look at the Kunke woman, only to see her looking at the centipede with anger and a hollow plant rhizome in her hand. It seemed that she had used that to blow out the wooden thorn and pierce it to death.
How could a mere thorn kill such a large centipede? I still couldn't believe it until I saw the centipede's body begin to emit white smoke and begin to rapidly decompose and burn, as if it was being doused with countless sulfuric acid. But it was clearly just a thorn, how much poison could that thorn carry? So scary!
No wonder it is called the devil flower, this thing is really evil and scary!
"I didn't expect that you, such a big guy, would become a roasted centipede in a few minutes. It's really a waste of your growth." I muttered.
Not long after, the Kunk woman came back with her hands full of various plant roots and the devil flower. Just from what she brought, we could tell there were at least seven or eight different kinds of plants. It would be difficult to mix the medicine with these herbs according to the dosage. I hope this Kunk woman can mix it for us, so that Bai Lu won't have to try to make the medicine.
There is no need to make that multiple-choice question and choose only one between Yunwen and me.
After collecting the herbs, we both prepared to go down the mountain together. On the way out of the narrow path, we saw the dead state of the Kunk man. He was all purple, his skin and flesh were incomplete, and his body was extremely shriveled. The key was that we could not touch him. The woman just took a look, and then we went down the mountain.
When I got to the foot of the mountain, Yunwen and the others were waiting for me. As soon as I got back, Yunwen ran over to hold me and said, "Bai Lu and San Fu are missing. I don't know if they hid away or were captured. What should I do?"
"Don't worry, let this woman prepare the antidote first, and then we'll look around after we remove the poison." I said.
Yunwen nodded and translated it to the Kunke woman, but she waved her hands...
