Chapter 9 Red Mud
The five peaks of Wulong Mountain are all different. Among them, the peak rich in Wulong saliva is the closest to the Wushan tribe. Going deeper, it is easier to encounter people from other tribes.
Therefore, Su Ming mostly stayed here on weekdays. Only when he needed to collect a small amount of herbs, he would move forward with caution and always remain vigilant.
From what Su Ming could see now, there was a mountain peak with billowing smoke coming out, and it was named Black Flame Peak.
This peak is said to contain a large amount of earth fire, and it was once the core of the Fire Barbarian Land very early on.Although I don't know how many years have passed, you can still feel the heat waves hitting your face if you get close to it.
Su Ming was no stranger to the Black Flame Peak. He had set foot there many times and even met people from the Black Mountain Tribe there. If he hadn't been flexible enough to escape in advance, he would have become a dead man.
There, it is very close to the Montenegro tribe, and the Montenegro tribe and their Wushan tribe have had personal grudges from generation to generation. The two tribes are about the same size. Although there is no major war, the small friction between the hunting teams is still bloody and cruel. .
After hesitating for a moment, Su Ming's eyes flashed. After a long time, he withdrew his gaze towards the Black Flame Peak, walked a few steps quickly, and came to the depths of the platform. There were several large rocks sunk in there. When Su Ming would After it was moved away, there was something underneath the stone.
This is a rough bow!
Although rough, the finger-thick tendons are stretched straight, and you can faintly feel the explosive power contained within them.
Bows can only be owned by members of the hunting team in the Wushan tribe. It is difficult for other tribesmen to obtain them. Su Ming made this bow by himself after exchanging herbs for some materials. He did not take it back to the tribe on weekdays. Instead, he stayed here. Only Lei Chen knew this secret.
Holding the bow, Su Ming's eyes flashed with light, and he took out five sharp arrows from under the big rocks. The arrowheads were ground from the rocks. Su Ming would usually rub the arrow tips here, which were extremely sharp.
Putting the five arrows in the basket behind his back, Su Ming took the bow, whistled to the little monkey, and pointed to the herbs he had drawn on the ground.
The little monkey understood what he meant, bared his teeth, turned into a red shadow and ran straight ahead.
Su Ming looked cautious and quickly followed him. One person and one monkey disappeared in a few flashes.
In terms of familiarity with Wulong Mountain, even Su Ming could not compare with Xiao Hong. Under Xiao Hong's guidance, when the sunset was red, the basket Su Ming was carrying was filled with herbs.
There were seven or eight types of these herbs, and there were quite a few of each. They were all similar to the patterns Su Ming saw. He couldn't tell them apart, so he simply took them all away as long as they were similar.
"You said there is a similar herb here?" At this moment, the sun was about to set. Su Ming and Xiao Hong were in the jungle near the Black Flame Peak. He pointed at the dark mud ahead and looked at Xiao Hong.
Xiaohong nodded repeatedly, gestured to Su Ming for a long time, and then pointed to the sunset in the sky.
Su Ming's eyes flashed, and he squatted down, staring at the swamp with concentration, waiting for the sun to set.Time passed slowly, and after another half a while, the light in the jungle dimmed by half, and it felt like the darkness would swallow your eyes even ten feet away.
At the moment when the place was completely dark, a large number of bubblings suddenly appeared in the mud, and a red light loomed, as if swimming rapidly inside. This strange scene made the hairs on Su Ming's body stand up, but he Still didn't move.
He couldn't take his eyes off, watching the red lights in the mud constantly swimming down and slowly emerging from the mud. They were clearly red flower bones. Their roots were hidden in the mud. The red lights just wandered down. , obviously their roots and branches are moving.
Looking at the flower bones emerging from the mud, Su Ming saw them bloom with his own eyes, and an indescribable fragrance spread out. Su Ming only took a sip, and immediately had the illusion that his blood was boiling, as if his whole body was covered with flames. It lingers like fire and poison.
At this moment, Xiao Hong yelled nervously. Su Ming didn't hesitate at all. He swayed forward and took a step forward. He grabbed the red flower closest to him and held a piece of it in his hand. Using a sharp stone medicine knife, he was extremely skillful in his movements. He cut off the flower and its roots almost instantly, then grabbed it and put it into a basket behind his back.
After doing this like a smooth flow, Su Ming did not hesitate to rely on his body's flexibility to retreat quickly, and hurriedly left with Xiao Hong using all his strength.
Just after Su Ming left, there was a roar of wild beasts in the mud, and all the red flowers immediately shrank into flower buds, sinking into the mud and disappearing, but soon, there was a piece of scarlet blood, from the mud It seeped out, causing the surrounding area to be filled with blood.
Su Ming and Xiao Hong fled in a hurry until the sky completely darkened. They sat on a big tree and looked through the day's harvest under the moonlight.
There were many herbs in the basket, and Su Ming was quite excited to see them. The scenes of quenching were constantly replaying in his mind, and he was even more hopeful.
"It's a pity that I don't know the specific effect of Qingchen Powder...but it should be good!" Su Ming licked his lips and his eyes fell on the two herbs in the basket.
There is almost no difference in color between the two herbs. At first glance, they are almost identical. They are both red. The only difference is that one has six petals and the other has five petals.
Su Ming didn't recognize these two herbs, and they were very unfamiliar. They were the only things he had never seen among the medicine for refining Qingchen powder. Fortunately, Xiaohong had some impressions of these two herbs, and with Su Ming's Just found it.
"Which one is needed to refine the medicine stone..." Su Ming frowned and glanced at the two herbs. Among them, the six-petal one was obtained by him in the mud. Thinking of the other The strangeness of the blooming made Su Ming vaguely feel that if this thing were eaten into his stomach, he would probably die immediately.
Putting these herbs back into the basket, Su Ming lay on the tree trunk, took a bite of the wild fruit, looked at the stars in the sky, and breathed in the scent of the jungle. From time to time, the sounds of birds and animals came to his ears, as if he The whole person became one with the jungle, and this feeling made him very comfortable.
Xiaohong was combing her hair nearby, looking around warily from time to time.
One person and one monkey spent the night like this on a tree trunk in the jungle.
In the early morning of the next day, when the sun had just risen and the jungle was still half-dark, with a hazy mist looming, Su Ming and Xiao Hong left the tree trunk and rushed towards the Black Flame Peak in the distance.
Su Ming held his bow and was extremely vigilant along the way. Xiaohong seemed to be infected and became equally cautious. When the sun fully rose and the fog in the jungle dissipated like snow, a majestic mountain peak appeared in front of Su Ming. , the mountain peak was all brown, and a wave of heat hit our face.
At the top of the mountain, a cloud of black smoke rose into the sky, which looked quite spectacular from a distance.
"Black Flame Peak..." Su Ming murmured. After looking around cautiously, he rushed up the mountain without hesitation. He had been prepared before coming. There were many heat-repelling herbs on the soles of his feet. Now, Without any pause, he climbed straight to the top of the mountain.
Although the climb was fast, Su Ming's caution not only did not decrease, but became more and more cautious. I don't know how much time had passed. When he climbed to the middle of the mountain, Su Ming was about to continue. Suddenly, a small figure behind him Red hissed slightly.
With this scream, Su Ming didn't think at all. He swung to the side and hid directly against the cliff in a crack in the mountain. He clasped the mountain with both feet, opened the bow with his right hand, and quickly took out an arrow with his left hand. It was all completed in an instant, and Xiaohong came one step ahead and stuck with Su Ming.
Su Ming breathed slowly, and his eyes showed a cold light. In this position, once he met someone from the Black Mountain Department, if they found each other, it would definitely be a life-and-death fight.
Not long after, a faint sound of words came, and there was also the sound of some stones falling off.
"We were asked to dig out these broken rocks so early in the morning. We don't know what they are for."
"You've been nagging all this time. Since it's the clan leader's request, we must complete it. By the way, have you heard that Grandpa seems to have made a breakthrough..."
"I also heard someone in the clan say yesterday that grandpa seems different from usual. Now he looks a little scary."
"You said the patriarch asked us to dig these stones. Could it have something to do with grandpa?"
After the voices of the two people gradually became clearer, they slowly faded away. Su Ming leaned motionless against the crack until he noticed that the two people were getting further away, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"The Barbarian from the Black Mountain Tribe has made a breakthrough... I remember Grandpa once said that the Barbarian from the Black Mountain Tribe is at the eighth level of coagulation, but he has mastered an evil barbaric technique, so he can barely compete with Grandpa." Su Ming His eyes flashed, and he was ready to report this matter to his grandpa when he returned.
After waiting for a moment and confirming that the two men were far away, Su Ming was about to continue climbing up, but at this moment, the little monkey next to him grabbed Su Ming's clothes.
Su Ming immediately turned around, only to see the little monkey with an excited face pointing to the depths of the crack where they were. There was a small natural hole there, and the heat inside it was dissipated.
Su Ming's eyes narrowed and he immediately gave up climbing. Instead, he approached the small hole. After taking a closer look, he took off the knitted basket he was carrying and climbed in with it. Xiaohong followed behind.
This small hole is not big. If Su Ming had not been so thin, an ordinary barbarian would not have been able to pass through it.
