Chapter 422 Discovered!

Gu Shiyi rolled his eyes at him.
"Is there not enough food for you at home? You are still thinking about this kind of thing. Aren't you afraid that you will turn into a monster if you eat it?"

Pu Yanlan thought for a while and said,
"The Clover God Flower must be very useful to them, otherwise they wouldn't have risked coming here to get it?"

Gu Shiyi frowned and said,

"That's not right. Look at these people. They are all cultivators. Although their realms are different, they can't be powerless to fight back against a demon, right? Why are they willing to die after being entangled?"

Pu Yanlan also couldn't figure it out.

"Is it because all the trees here are monsters like this, and if you startle one, you will startle the whole group?"

Gu Shiyi thought for a while and shook his head.
"That doesn't make sense. There's nothing to be afraid of if it disturbs a group of people. Don't they have magic weapons? Can't they use the light of escape?"

Although this valley is strange, it is not isolated by the five elements, so flying by light beam is still possible!

Old Ma sniffed and replied,
"No, not tens of thousands, but... only one..."

The two were shocked when they heard this.
"What do you mean, there's only one?"

Old Horse Road,
"The auras of the monsters here are all exactly the same. They should be one and the same..."

When it comes to distinguishing auras, Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan rely on their spiritual sense and demon sense. The demonic energy in this valley is thick. The two of them only know that it is corroded by demonic energy everywhere, and the strange trees in front of them are also full of demonic energy, but they don’t know how to distinguish them. Gu Shiyi pointed to the whole strange forest in the swamp, drew a circle with his finger, and asked in surprise,
"You said... there is a... monster here?"

Old Ma nodded, his face full of seriousness.
"There is only one, down in the swamp..."

Gu Shiyi glanced at Pu Yanlan.
"No wonder they would rather die than take action. There is such a large forest. If there is only one monster, how big must it be?"

Pu Yanlan also had a look of fear on her face.

"Eleven, we dare not disturb it..."

Gu Shiyi said with a bitter face,

"I know I can't disturb it, but..."

She pointed to the ownerless boat floating in the swamp and asked,
"Have you got any of these boats?"

Pu Yanlan shook her head,
"no!"

The daily necessities they stored in the storage bags were of great variety, including pots, pans, clothes, and bedding, but they had never thought of putting a boat in them!
"Well... there is a big wooden tub for bathing..."

Gu Shiyi rolled his eyes at her.
"Can it hold the three of us?"

Pu Yanlan thought about it again and said,

"There seems to be a magical boat in the treasure of Baekje Gate. How about taking it out?"

Gu Shiyi sighed,

"Why do you think they don't use magic weapons?"

Of course, I’m afraid of alarming the monster!

Gu Shi said,
"Since we don't have it and we can't use our spiritual power or magic tools, we have to find a way to get the boat over and quietly follow them. Otherwise, if we lose them, we won't be able to get out!"

The three of them discussed sneaking over and pulling the boat to the shore. Lao Ma volunteered,
"Oh my god, I'm a natural born water monster!"

Gu Shiyi shook his head,

"No, you'll make too much noise if you go down there. Not only will I be afraid of alerting those people, I'm even more afraid that you'll alert the monsters below..."

Pu Yanlan looked at the strange trees, many of which had branches lying across the water. She thought for a moment and said,

"Why don't I go? I'm smaller and can pass through the tree..."

Gu Shiyi looked at it, thought about it and nodded.
"Okay, go ahead, be careful!"

Although Lao Ma is now a human, he is still a hardworking animal at heart. After being bought by the two, he recognized them as his masters, and naturally did whatever they said. He could only watch Pu Yanlan roll up her trousers and quietly walk into the swamp. After Pu Yanlan entered the swamp, she felt something was wrong under her feet. Normally, the swamp was nothing more than some mud and rotten branches and stones, but when she stepped on it, except for the layer of floating mud on the surface, the ground under her feet was soft and bouncy. Pu Yanlan was shocked.
"Fuck, this isn't going to be the monster, is it?"

So she is stepping on that thing now?
Thinking of this, Pu Yanlan became more cautious. She raised her legs high and stepped lightly, stretched her neck and looked forward, and walked forward step by step in a somewhat funny posture. A few dozen steps away from the shore, the water was up to her thighs. Pu Yanlan reached out and grabbed a branch of a strange tree, stepped on it, and began to move through the branches one step after another, not daring to stop at all. Relying on her light and agile body, she walked quickly and steadily. As long as she was in contact with these strange trees for no more than three minutes, she would not alarm them, and naturally there would be no danger!
Just walking like this was very exhausting, but she didn't dare to stop. By the time she reached the strange tree near the small tree, she was already panting with exhaustion, thinking to herself,

"My physical fitness is really too poor!"

You can't just rely on strong spiritual power. The physical body is also the carrier of spiritual power and must be equally strong!
"Boom..."

She took a breath and jumped onto the ownerless boat floating on the water. She glanced at the bow. It was clean and had no traces at all, as if no one had ever been there. The oars of the boat had been thrown away somewhere. Pu Yanlan had no choice but to use her hands to row to the shore little by little. Pu Yanlan and Lao Ma got on the boat together. Gu Shiyi took out a hatchet and used it as an oar, rowing the boat manually to chase after the group of people who were gradually going away.

But Pu Yanlan didn't notice that as soon as she entered the swamp, the little white horn in her storage bag began to emit a bright light again. This time it was not a black light, but a soft red light...

When this small boat was built, I don't know if it was to save materials, but it could only carry two people. Although Lao Ma had transformed into a human body, his weight was that of a horse. With three people in one boat, the draft was deep and the speed was very slow. However, the several small boats in front were scraping things from the trees while moving, so their speed was not fast. They gradually caught up with them.

Pu Yanlan is an alchemist who has a professional passion for natural treasures. Whenever she passes by a strange tree, she would curiously search for it.
"What on earth are they scraping on it?"

It seemed that not every tree had the same spoils, and the places they passed by had already been scraped by the people in front. Pu Yanlan searched for a long time and finally found a tree that had escaped the net. She saw a tiny yellow flower the size of a little fingernail blooming on the tree. The petals were divided into five pieces with a red core in the middle. The small yellow flower seemed to be alive, and the petals opened and closed slightly, responding to the rhythm of breathing.

Pu Yanlan found a small silver knife and gently scraped off the small yellow flower. She looked at it and smelled it with the silver knife and smelled a faint smell of blood. She took out a jade bottle and put it in it.

"Yan'er, can you tell what it is?"

Pu Yanlan thought for a while and said,
"I can't tell what it is, but it's also recorded in the book that the things that grow in the demon world are the same as those that grow in the underworld. They can also be used as medicine for us humans in the world of the living. However, the effects of the pills refined from them are all kinds of strange. Some are used to expel the demonic energy in the body, while others are used to increase the demonic energy... I have never tried it, maybe I can pick some to try..."

"Increasing the demonic energy... could it be practicing magic?"

"It's not all for the purpose of practicing magic. For example, if you enter a place where monsters hide and take this kind of elixir, you can blend in with the monsters. It's almost the same effect as the little white horn... I think... if these people are really the mixed-blood descendants of the human race as Master Shijie said, maybe they picked these little yellow flowers to drive away the evil spirit!"

As soon as Pu Yanlan finished speaking, someone responded coldly.

"You do have some knowledge!"

The two were startled and turned around to look, only to see a small boat floating out from behind a huge strange tree. There was only one person standing on the boat, and that was the middle-aged man who was leading the group.

As the middle-aged man appeared, his majestic aura was overwhelming. Unlike his companions, he did not have any black light on his body. However, no one knew what method he used to make the faint purple mist around him move away from him at a distance of three feet and did not dare to approach him.

The three of them were all shocked when they saw this. Gu Shiyi knew at the valley entrance that this man was at least in the Nascent Soul stage, and cursed inwardly,

"Why doesn't this guy go pick flowers? His tribesmen are all dead, but he doesn't even lend a hand to help. Instead, he's staring at us!"

She smiled and bowed,

"Senior, the three of us were also swept by the tornado and accidentally entered your precious land. I don't know if you know the cause and effect. The three of us are innocent and don't want to disturb you. We just want to leave here as soon as possible..."

The middle-aged man looked at her coldly and said,

"If it weren't for this, I would have killed you at the entrance of the valley. I wanted to let you fend for yourselves in the valley, but I didn't expect you to be able to come here. You must have some skills!"

His eyes swept across the three people, stopping for a moment on Pu Yanlan and Lao Ma, and then asked Pu Yanlan,

"From what you said, you are an alchemist?"

Pu Yanlan responded,
"Senior, I don't dare to call myself an alchemist. I just know a little more than others!"

"Humph!"

The middle-aged man snorted and glanced at Gu Shiyi again.

"You, a demon race, should be born with a very yang and strong constitution... so you are not afraid of the evil energy here..."

Gu Shiyi smiled and said,
"Senior said..."

The middle-aged man said,

"You broke in unintentionally, so I won't make things difficult for you. However... because of the three of you breaking in today, ten of us can't enter this place, so we are short of manpower. Please help pick these Clover God Flowers, and then I will take you out!"
