Chapter 470 Ghostly Nether Forest

"Why?" Ying Tianshu looked at her in puzzlement.

Song Qinghuan hooked her lips, "I'm on the island... and I still have some unfinished business. Besides, the new saintess has not been selected for a day, and my concubine mother still occupies the title of saintess in name. If you follow me at this time It might be difficult for her to leave."

Ying Tianshu lowered his head, "I know, Sister Yu is a person with ideas. Since that's the case, I won't persuade you much. But if you need me in the future, Sister can just speak up."

"Okay." Song Qinghuan smiled at him, and said again, "You said just now that the note was placed selectively. I guess he chose some big and famous families on the island."

"It's possible." Yingche nodded thoughtfully.

Song Qinghuan looked at him, "What is your parents' attitude towards the ruling of the elders?"

"My parents are not ambitious people, and they don't want to get involved in disputes of right and wrong, so I think that if Ji Song really challenges the authority of the elders, my parents will take a neutral attitude." Ying Ying Tianshu didn't hide it from her.

Song Qing laughed happily, "It turns out that your indifferent temperament is inherited from your family."

Ying Tianshu smiled embarrassingly, "What do sisters want to do?"

Song Qinghuan raised her eyebrows, "Although I have the title of candidate for the saint, I am still a foreigner after all. In principle, I will not interfere with the island's affairs. So, for the time being, I will be the same as your parents. Take a wait-and-see attitude, and take one step at a time. Now that Jisong obviously wants to make things bigger, I think the elders may not be able to sit still."

Ying Tianshu nodded thoughtfully, "I don't know how they can make up this lie."

Song Qinghuan pursed her lips, a little unconcerned, "Since you and I have no interest, just wait and see the good show."

Ying Tianshu smiled, "It's still my sister who sees clearly."

It was inconvenient for Song Qinghuan to stay in Yingtianshu's mansion for a long time, so she chatted with him for a while, then took Yuli to leave.

*
At the same time, Shen Chuhan and Yuli had already reached the depths of the Nether Forest.

Although it was daytime, the miasma in the Nether Forest was blinding the eyes. The tall and luxuriant trees blocked the sunlight coming in, and the eyes could only see three steps away, and it was quite difficult to move forward for a while.

They took the heart-clearing antidote developed by Song Qinghuan in advance, so they wouldn't worry too much about the poisonous miasma.After a day yesterday, they have already found the three kinds of medicinal materials such as castor, water hemlock, and anthurium. So far, it has been relatively smooth.

It was noon now, they only had some dry food in the morning, and they were already hungry.Shen Chuhan raised his head, barely made out the position of the sun in the sky, looked at Yuli and said, "Mother, it's already noon, let's sit down and eat something before leaving."

Yuli nodded, "Okay."

Shen Chuhan found a clean place, spread some leaves, asked Yuli to sit down, sat down beside her, and handed over the dry food and the water bottle.

Yuli took it and thanked her.

Shen Chuhan glanced at her, smiled and said, "This scene is somewhat familiar now."

Yuli is a smart person, and quickly realized what he meant, and curled the corners of her lips, "At that time, I didn't have a good impression of you."

"Mother concubine already knew who I was at that time?"

"Although I left Yu Country very early, I have been paying close attention to A Wan's matter. How could I not know about A Wan's jumping off the tower? Although I don't know the details, the relationship between you and her Love-hate entanglement, I have heard a little bit, so I subconsciously vent my anger on you."

Shen Chuhan lowered his head in embarrassment, and annoyance flashed in his eyes.

"What happened in the last life was my fault. If it wasn't for the help of my mother and concubine, I'm afraid I would regret it for the rest of my life."

"You don't have to blame yourself anymore." Yuli smiled faintly, "I did give you the Life and Death Gu at the beginning, and I really wanted to take the opportunity to vent my anger. After all these years, you have been poisoned by the Gu poison, and you have gotten what you deserve I have noticed your kindness to Wan these days, as long as you can change your past, I will not have any other dissatisfaction with you."

Hearing Yanli's words, Shen Chuhan's eyes rarely fluctuated a little.

He knew that Yuli had always been dissatisfied with him because of the things in his previous life, and he also knew that he deserved it, but Yuli was Song Qinghuan's mother and concubine after all, if she couldn't get her approval, he would always feel uncomfortable in his heart. Yanli's heartfelt words were both an accident and a pleasant surprise.

"Please don't worry, Concubine Mother, I will never let Ah Wan down again."

Yuli smiled, "I'm just a daughter like Ah Wan, if she's happy, I'll have no regrets."

Shen Chuhan nodded, "If my concubine likes it, she can follow us to live in Lindu so that Youyou can also see her grandmother."

Hearing Youyou's name, Yuli's eyes flickered slightly, she blinked her long eyelashes and looked at Shen Chuhan, "Youyou is almost three years old now."

Shen Chuhan should be.

Yuli sighed, "You're right, no matter what, I have to go to Lindu to see Youyou. And the baby in Awan's womb, I didn't expect that I would become a grandmother in the blink of an eye. How time flies."

She took a sip of water from the water bottle, and thinking of Song Qinghuan, she seemed to gain motivation and energy again, and she got up and said, "Let's go, find the antidote as soon as possible, and go back as soon as possible, Ah Wan is still waiting for us at home."

"Okay." Shen Chuhan took the water bottle she handed and put it away, and the two started on the road again.

The further you go, the more difficult the road is. Countless vine branches are spreading and criss-crossing, with sharp thorns. If you are not careful, you may be scratched by the sharp thorns.Most animals and plants in the Nether Forest contain toxins, and it would be difficult to get scratched, so the two walked very carefully.

Shen Chuhan walked ahead to open the way, using Ruoshui sword to cut a small path barely enough for one person to pass.Even so, you have to beware of the poisonous snakes and insects that jump out from under your feet from time to time, so the speed of travel is not fast.

At this time, Shen Chuhan suddenly saw a familiar plant in front of him. It was a flower half the height of a person. The color of the flower was delicate purple, and it was still in bud. It was a bit conspicuous among the shrubs.

Shen Chuhan's face darkened.

Piranha.

When he entered the Nether Forest last time, he almost stumbled on the piranha. At this time, he was naturally extremely careful and held the Ruoshui sword in his hand tightly.In order to avoid extra branches, when I was about to bypass the piranha, I suddenly saw a slender plant at the root of the piranha, with white umbrella-shaped fluff growing on the top of the plant, and the rhizome was dark purple with sharp thorns.

Looking at it, it seems to be very similar to the white aconitum that Yuli told him about.

He carefully turned around to look at Yanli, and pointed to the direction of the plant, "Mother Concubine, look, does it look like the white aconitum we are looking for?"

Yan Li's almond-shaped eyes narrowed, and there was light in them, she nodded and said in affirmation, "Yes, that's the white aconitum."

That being the case, the piranha must be unavoidable.

With the previous experience, Shen Chuhan was very calm, motioned Yuli to step back a little, drew out the Ruoshui sword and slashed at the piranha.The fierce sword energy instantly hit the bud of the piranha.The piranha was attacked, and the tightly wrapped petals opened slowly in an instant, revealing a scarlet tongue that looked like a snake letter.

The tongue swayed from side to side like a living thing, and there was a viscous liquid dripping down, which was very disgusting.At the same time, densely packed roots broke through the soil and rushed towards Shen Chuhan like spider silk.

Shen Chuhan's expression remained unchanged, and without waiting for the roots to wrap around his insteps, he swung his sword again. This time, the fierce sword energy was aimed at the scarlet tongue in the center of the petal.

There was only a sound of air breaking through the air, and the tongue of the piranha was precisely cut in half by Shen Chuhan's sword energy, and half fell to the ground.As soon as the tongue was broken, the originally gorgeous purple-red petals withered quickly, and the intertwined roots also disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Shen Chuhan withdrew the Ruoshui sword, nodded towards Yuli behind him, took out a leather glove and put it on, took off the white aconitum next to the piranha, and put it in the burden behind him.

In this way, they only had bladderwort, red flame flower and silver snake root to find.

Shen Chuhan looked at Yuli, "Mother, concubine, the trees in this place are too lush, and it is difficult for the sun to penetrate. I am afraid that there are few sunny places. In my opinion, we should first look for swamps and see if we can find bladderwort first. .”

"Okay." Yuli agreed, "Wait a minute, I'll use my spiritual power to sense it."

As he spoke, his fingers changed, and a faint blue light came out.

There is water in the swamp, and Yuli can sense the breath of nearby water sources with her spiritual power. Along the way, with the help of her spiritual power, they saved a lot of time and detours.

After a while, Yuli withdrew her move and pointed to the southwest direction, "There seems to be a big swamp over there, let's go and have a look."

Shen Chuhan nodded in agreement, and followed Yuli to the southwest.

After walking for a short time, the air really became humid, and there was a damp and rotten smell lingering in the nose. When I took a closer look, I saw a large swamp under the shade of trees not far away.

Shen Chuhan signaled Yuli to walk behind him, and moved towards the swamp cautiously.

Before he got close, he felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

Too quiet.

There are no big animals in the Nether Forest, but there are many kinds of insects and birds. Along the way, there are always a lot of noises in the ears, but there is only silence here, only the sound of crushing leaves under the feet. It echoed in the ear, and it became more and more strange.

Shen Chuhan made a gesture to Yuli, lowered his voice and said, "Mother, there seems to be something wrong."

Yuli nodded, and said in a deep voice, "It's too quiet, be careful."

Before Shen Chuhan could speak, he suddenly saw a silver light flash in the air ahead.He subconsciously stopped and took a closer look, and saw what seemed to be a tiny spider's silk floating in the air ahead of him.

Shen Chuhan's nerves tensed up suddenly.

There are many spiders and venomous snakes in the nether forest. These two are highly poisonous living creatures.

Making a gesture towards the back, Shen Chuhan said vigilantly, "Concubine Mu, there seem to be poisonous spiders here, please be careful."

As soon as the words fell, there was a slight rustling sound in the air, as if it was coming from the top of the head.He looked up, and saw a thick silver thread hanging from the branch of the big tree above his head, and a spider with the size of a fist was climbing the spider thread, quickly crawling towards him, and it was in front of him in an instant.

Shen Chuhan was startled, he leaned back suddenly, jumped to the side, raised his sword and dropped it, the fist-sized spider was split in half and fell to the ground, with dark purple venom flowing out of its body.

But this sword seemed to break the silence in the forest. Suddenly, there were rustling sounds from all directions, and the weird friction sound made people feel hairy.Shen Chuhan's cold eyes swept around, and his expression became serious involuntarily.

I saw countless spider silks suddenly floating from the surrounding trees, large and small spiders began to swing towards them along the spider silks, densely packed, like locusts overwhelming the sky.

Shen Chuhan had never seen so many spiders, no matter how calm he was, he couldn't help but change his expression a little.

"Mother concubine be careful!" He reminded, took two steps back, and protected Yuli behind him.

"Don't worry about me, take care of yourself." Yuli said in a deep voice, her spiritual power was activated as she spoke, and the orange light attacked the spiders crawling in all directions.

The spider hit by the spiritual power fell to the ground, but after a while, another spider climbed down from the tree and filled the gap just now.In a short while, a huge web was woven in the sky, pressing down on their heads, and countless spiders came one after another.

Shen Chuhan and Yuli were back to back, using spiritual power and sword energy to block the attacks of some spiders.Although they were not approached by the spiders, they did not gain the upper hand after fighting for a while. The main reason was that the number of spiders was too huge. No matter how many they eliminated, there would always be a steady stream of spiders reappearing.

In just a moment, a dense layer of dead spiders had fallen on the ground. The bodies of large and small spiders were stacked together, and it was really disgusting to look at carefully. If ordinary people saw this, they would feel horrified.

If things go on like this, they will always be able to catch them. If they are caught by these poisonous spiders and have a chance to bite, things will be bad.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Yu Li breathed out and said, "Jun Shu, help me block it for a while."

Shen Chuhan should be, dancing the sword light even more airtightly.

Yuli took a deep breath, her fingers kept changing in front of her body, and a faint green light shone out.After a while, a layer of transparent barriers began to appear around them, starting from the soles of their feet, gradually extending to the top of their heads, and finally forming a huge transparent ball to cover them.

It turned out that Yuli used spiritual power to create a barrier.

When those spiders climbed to the barrier, they would be bounced back by spiritual power, and fell to the ground, unable to get close.In this way, the current critical situation was finally eased.

Yanli let out a long sigh of relief, and slowly withdrew her gesture.

Shen Chuhan also breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Yuli and said, "Mother, how long can this barrier last?"

"Wood spirit power is used to create the enchantment. There are trees all around at the moment. There are abundant sources of wood spirit power. It should last for a while. It's just..."

"Just what?"

"I see that these spiders are rushing forward and there is no sign of stopping. I don't know how many spiders are hidden in this forest. As long as we are still here, I am afraid that they will not stop attacking. This enchantment lasted for a while, but it will not last after all. Too long."

"Then... are there any swamps elsewhere?"

Yanli shook her head, "I just checked, and there is a large swamp near here. Bladderwort is not a very common thing. According to ancient books, it often only grows in large swamps. Here The possibility of finding bladderwort is relatively high. Moreover, the spiders in the Nether Forest like wet and rotten places, and I am worried that there will be these poisonous spiders next to all the swamps in the forest."

Hearing what Yu Li said, Shen Chuhan couldn't help frowning, that is to say, as long as they want to find bladderwort, these poisonous spiders can't be avoided at all.

From this point of view, their current situation is quite a dilemma.

Shen Chuhan settled down and looked around, trying to find a solution to break the deadlock at the moment.But after a while, those spiders still showed no sign of stopping.Because of the continuous attacks of these spiders, coupled with the corrosion of the venom they sprayed out, the spiritual power used to support the barrier was consumed extremely quickly. Even though the surrounding spiritual power sources were abundant, Yuli's face gradually turned ugly.

Seeing this, Shen Chuhan couldn't help feeling a little impatient.

At this moment, the densely packed spiders suddenly stopped attacking and receded like a tide, as if they were afraid of something.

Seeing this situation, instead of letting out a sigh of relief, Shen Chuhan's nerves became even tighter.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

These spiders are already highly poisonous, but they still avoid them like this, unless, something more powerful appears!

Yuli also felt that something was wrong, she strengthened the barrier a little with her hands, and looked around vigilantly with a pair of exquisite almond eyes.

At this moment, the crawling sound of the spider had stopped suddenly, but the strange thing was that even the original wind in the forest could not be heard, as if even the air was frozen for a moment.

In this eerie tranquility, there were suddenly a few friction sounds of "呲呲", followed by a few "hahaha" strange laughter in the air, echoing in the forest, the sound seemed human but not human, and the friction of the airflow The sound made people's hearts tremble.Even Yanli couldn't help but change color, and a layer of goose bumps suddenly appeared on her arms.

Shen Chuhan looked along the source of the sound, and saw something black suddenly crawling out of the trunk of the most lush tree not far away. When he saw what it was, Shen Chuhan's face suddenly changed.
