Chapter 22 Blood bait, molting (for further reading)

After walking along the ice wall for nearly 10 minutes, suddenly, the ice wall in front directly formed a cliff.

Looking down from the top, a wide river valley below appears in front of you.

"It seems that Brother Hu is right. This underground should be a dry river. Let's go down and have a look."

Saying that, Wan Yu took out the rope from his backpack, tied it to a huge ice rock, and slid down directly.

"Brother Wan, what's going on next?"

Hu Bayi called out, and the voice echoed in the river.

Wan Yu at the bottom turned on the flashlight and looked around. There was also a thin layer of ice covering it, and many crystals were exposed outside.

"It's okay, come down."

Hu Bayi and the others slid down the rope, and saw that the river valley below had already dried up, and there were some gravels at the bottom of the valley.

"This river valley has been dry for at least 100 years, and the gravel at the bottom of the river has been weathered into sand."

Wan Yu held a stone in his hand, and with a light pinch, it instantly turned into sand and fell down.

He turned his gaze to the front of the valley, and he heard a faint sound of water flowing in front of him.

"Look ahead, if you can't find anything, go up first and replenish."

It has been at least five or six hours since morning, and everyone is starving, so it doesn't matter to Wan Yu if he continues walking.

But whether this woman can resist or not is another matter.

"Well, let's plan this way first, everyone pay attention, don't be too scattered, I don't know what's going on in this valley."

After Hu Bayi finished speaking, he led everyone forward. About 10 minutes later, the mouth of the river valley suddenly narrowed.

It seemed that the end was just ahead, but Wan Yu felt something unusual.

There was a whirring sound from inside, as if there was a cold wind stirring in it, echoing on the rock wall.

Looking at it this way, the space inside is definitely not small.

"Follow me."

After finishing speaking, Wan Yu's footsteps suddenly quickened, and in an instant, passing through this long and narrow river valley, the space in front suddenly opened up, and the ground was full of weathered and damaged sundries and rubble piled together.

And if you go further, you can't see anything.

"Let's take a look first, if it doesn't work, just take a rest here, and then go back."

After Hu Bayi finished speaking, he got up and turned around, vaguely guessing that something was wrong.

Wan Yu followed beside him, seeing the solemn look on Hu Bayi's face, he couldn't help asking: "Brother Hu, how are you doing? What do you see?"

Hu Bayi said uncertainly: "There are many stone carvings around here, and there are many things similar to talismans carved on them. This place seems to be a place for worship."

"Black Tiger Profound Altar."

Behind her, Yang Xueli's eyes were full of sophistication and said: "Although I can't understand the layout of this place, I have checked similar books, and it is quite similar to the Black Tiger Profound Altar recorded in some books."

Hu Ba nodded: "That's right, Staff Officer Yang is right. This is the Black Tiger Profound Altar. It's just that the layout is slightly different from that in the Central Plains, but it remains largely the same."

"Here, it should be..."

"what!"

Ah Xiang's scream instantly made everyone look away, and in an instant, a blood-red vine sprouted from the nearby stone hole.

Then, under the eyes of everyone, this thing began to blossom and bear fruit, and a fruit as bright as blood drooped on the edge of the hole.

Wan Yu stepped forward, he knew about this thing, the rhizome behind it was the Xuanwu Giant Corpse.

The most important thing is that there is a molting turtle among them. This thing is not ordinary. No matter what kind of poison or injury it is, swallowing a little turtle shell powder can hang its life.

The effect of this thing is stronger than that of the hundred-year-old wild ginseng. Originally, Wan Yu had never encountered it this way, so he thought he had gone the wrong way.

Unexpectedly, there is another village!
"Go, go over and have a look, this thing definitely didn't grow out of nowhere."

Saying that, Wan Yu looked in along the place where the vines grew out, and couldn't see anything, but he could feel the sound of the wind, which was very close to him.

Hu Bayi picked the fruit, and the vine withered instantly, crushing the fruit, the juice was like blood, and the core was like a piece of minced meat.

His complexion changed: "Why does this thing look like blood bait?"

"Blood bait? What is this?"

Fatty Wang had never heard of it before, so he hurriedly asked.

Hu Bayi explained: "I'm just guessing about this thing. I don't know exactly what the blood bait is, but these things are all planted on the corpses. Since there is this thing, there may be a burial pit in front of it."

"As long as you find the sacrificial pit, you may be able to find clues."

"Let's go, follow Brother Wanyu."

At this moment, Wan Yu had already walked more than ten meters away, and the flashlight continued to shine on the wall. In the original book, there was a small hole nearby, and he could find the location of the Xuanwu giant corpse by drilling through it.

Wan Yu didn't care about the footsteps coming from behind, he didn't want to swallow the molting turtle all by himself.

Not long after, the light in front seemed to be sucked in, and Wan Yu smiled.

"Go, there is a hole ahead."

Taking the lead, Wan Yu rushed over. Under the illumination of the light, a hole appeared in front of his eyes. As soon as the people behind came over, Wan Yu had already got in.

"Brother Wan is so active, do you know what this thing is?"

What Fatty Wang said made everyone stunned. Thinking about it this way, it seemed to be true.

He also hurriedly followed, and when they arrived, Wan Yu was already standing on a stone platform, staring closely at the situation below.

"Brother Wan, what did you find?"

Fatty Wang yelled, and Wan Yu said softly, "Don't talk, I will explain to you later."

Under the light, the underground was covered with the blood flowers just now, and there were quite a few on the ground and even on the walls.

Suddenly, as if under the light, a small black shadow crawled down from the corner.

The place where he climbed out happened to be a stone platform. Wan Yu quickly shone the flashlight on it, and under the cover of blood flowers, a huge crystal emitting red light appeared in front of him.

Without caring too much, Wan Yu jumped off the stone platform, trampled the little turtle to death, and then lifted the crystal with all his strength.

Before everyone could understand, Wan Yu appeared in front of everyone with a smile on his face, holding a big turtle shell in his hand.

The tortoise shell is reddish-brown, and the lines on it have a kind of natural ornamentation, before Wan Yu can open his mouth.

Uncle Ming became excited all of a sudden, and looked at the tortoise shell: "Get rich, get rich!"

"Get rich? Uncle Ming, you are confused, this is just a turtle shell."

"What does this fat man know? This is what Brother Wanyu knows. Otherwise, we would all ignore it."

Wan Yu nodded and said with a smile: "This thing is not ordinary, it is the shell left by a moulting turtle."

"Ordinary turtles want to shed their shells. Small turtles are fine, but it's very difficult for big turtles to shed their shells."

"The tortoise shell is a medicinal herb, how big is this tortoise shell?"

"This thing, everything in the world, can cure any poison, even if it is seriously injured, it can hang its life!"

"It's more precious than a century-old wild ginseng, and I met it this time."

Uncle Ming also enviously said: "Not to mention selling all of this thing, even a piece of tortoise shell can be worth thousands of gold, which is simply not seen in the market."

"Generally, big tortoises shed their shells, and they only shed their shells after eating and becoming refined. Go and see if the thing that was trampled to death by Brother Wanyu is a molting turtle, and it looks all kinds of strange."

"The turtle is one of the four spirits. It is Xuanwu. It has the back of a turtle and the body of a snake. It is a divine beast!"

Fatty Wang was curious and went over to pry it open with a shovel, and said in surprise: "Really, this thing looks really strange, but it is indeed a snake head!"

"It's covered in green hair, like a zombie."

"Haha, it's because this guy feeds on the blood bait safflower. He grew up eating human flesh, or carrion. If he eats fresh ones, maybe this guy can really become a genius."

As Wan Yu said, he broke the tortoise shell in half with his hands, half of which accounted for a quarter.

"Brother Hu, take it, this thing is hard to come by, it's a life-saving thing."

As for Uncle Ming, although he was greedy, but he couldn't speak up, Wan Yu naturally ignored it.
