Once upon a time there was a Nine Absolutes Gate

Chapter 5 Picked up a loli

Traveling through the mountains and forests, time passed quickly, and it was already afternoon in the blink of an eye.

"Sure enough, the climate and environment here are very similar to Sichuan in China, and most of the plants and herbs on the mountain are similar." Huanyan wiped the sweat from her forehead, quite relieved: "It's almost the same, only one 'duck foot' is missing. ', after picking it, you don't have to worry about the recent medicine."

Before that, Huanyan was still worried that Human Emperor's Continent was different from Earth, and herbal medicines were also different.But it turns out that most of the herbs are the same, and of course there are some subtle differences, but this is not a problem.

At this moment, Huanyan was carrying on her back a pannier that was temporarily woven with rattan after going up the mountain. The pannier was nearly one meter deep and not small in diameter.Huanyan is about 1.8 meters tall, and the basket is behind him, directly blocking most of his body.

The back basket was already two-thirds full, full of bundles of various herbs.

People in Human Emperor's Continent don't know the uses of herbs, and Yanzhou is even more inaccessible.Therefore, the herbs on the mountain are almost everywhere, and many of them have a certain age and are very effective.

Huanyan went up the mountain, and even without looking for it, she easily picked up many common herbs.Now it is only a matter of getting some duck feet, and the task of this trip can be regarded as a successful completion, and we are going down the mountain.

Duck feet are not duck feet, but a kind of traditional Chinese medicine.The full name of this traditional Chinese medicine is Duck's foot wood root, which is named for its leaves resembling duck's feet.

Taking duck's feet orally can remove heat and reduce swelling, and external application can treat bruises, and even women's menstrual problems.Very useful.

However, the duck foot habit is semi-shady, and likes to grow in a cool but sunny place from time to time.However, the forest where Huanyan is now is densely covered with dense leaves, and basically does not see the sun all year round. To find the duck foot tree, one has to continue climbing up the mountain to find a place that is sunny but shady.

"The mountain is really dangerous." Hiding behind a big tree, he let out a long breath as he watched the unknown beasts that looked like giant wolves go away.

After only a few hours of going up the mountain, Huanyan encountered several large and ferocious beasts.Some know it, some don't, but without exception, these beasts are very ferocious.

As for the footprints of various animals, they are even more varied.

If Huanyan hadn't found some herbal medicine to eliminate her own smell and put it on her body when she went up the mountain, so that many wild animals could not smell her own smell, this trip up the mountain would definitely not be as safe and sound as it is at the moment.

It's not that Huanyan is afraid of these beasts, but one more thing is worse than one less thing.

The mountain is desolate, with all kinds of bushes and roads, and the most important thing is that there are no hatchets or other things to open the way.Huanyan's clothes were already a little tattered.

"The technology of ironmaking must be popularized quickly." Shaking his head, Huan Yan continued to climb the mountain.

The importance of metal, Huan Yan, who has been in the modern city, knows it very well!

Going all the way, unable to cut through the thorns and thorns with a knife, Huanyan is indeed tired enough.

"This location is not bad." On a rare open space, the breeze blew, and the slightest coolness hit.Huanyan is almost sure that duck feet can be found here.

"But... why are there no trees here?"

The area of ​​this open space is nearly [-] square meters by visual estimation.But the strange thing is that there are almost no trees here, and even if there are, they are only small saplings. Other than that, there are some vines and weeds.

"No, there are tree stumps." In the process of looking for the duck's feet, Huanyan discovered the clue.Under the dense weeds, there are many broken tree stumps.

Most of these stumps have decayed, but there are still some traces left.

"This is……"

Huanyan found a relatively well-preserved stump, and found that the stump was broken from a place about [-] to [-] centimeters above the ground. The crown of the tree was unknown, but the fractured surface of the stump was extremely smooth, much smoother than those sawn off by chainsaws in the Huaxia World. , much smoother!
It can even be said to be... smooth as a mirror!
"Ghost or magic?"

Touching the smooth cut surface of the stump, Huanyan fell into deep thought: "This tree is as thick as the waist of an adult man, and the person who can cut the stump so smoothly is definitely a master. There are no trees in such a large area here..."

"Could it be...!"

Huanyan was shocked, and then quickly ran to the edge of the open space, looking around.However, it was found that this open space roughly presents a fan shape, and there are no trees within the fan shape.

"really……"

Huanyan was horrified in her heart: "Absolute master is actually using tricks, or under a spell, the power spreads over such a large range, and cuts down so many big trees."

"Is the master of Human Sovereign Continent actually so strong?"

"I just don't know, what level is the person who does it in the Human Emperor's Continent? Top? Or middle?"

"If ordinary masters have such power, then..."

Huanyan suddenly felt that she was under a lot of pressure. If an ordinary master had such strength, then the resistance to her development of Jiujuemen would be much greater than imagined.

"Soldiers come to block..."

With a sigh, Huanyan suppressed the matter in her heart and swept her eyes.

"Huh? Duck feet!"

"A lot of duck feet." At the edge of the open space, Huanyan found a large piece of duck foot wood roots, and couldn't help being quite happy, and hurried forward to collect herbs.

The root of the duck foot wood is the root of the duck foot wood, which is rooted in the soil, but Huanyan does not have a hoe, so she can only use a wooden stick picked up at random to break the soil layer and then take it out.

Half an hour later, Huanyan put a small bundle of duck foot roots into the basket, glanced at the open space, and turned to leave.

When going up the mountain, I was constantly looking for it, so I took many detours, and when I left, I naturally walked as close as possible.Therefore, Huanyan went straight down the mountain in the direction of Yan Village.

However, just after walking a short distance, Huanyan stopped in her tracks.

"What's the smell?"

A pungent smell came, and Huanyan couldn't help frowning: "Is this smell familiar?"

Following the source of the smell, I finally found a cave, a cave full of dark and unknown substances that constantly emit a pungent smell.

"Natural asphalt mine?!"
There is bitumen ore, and bitumen can be obtained by a little refining.Roads can be paved with asphalt, and the benefits of asphalt roads, needless to say?

Flat, durable, high school...

Asphalt roads are much better than slate roads. As for dirt roads that are full of potholes and mud when it rains?There is no way to compare it?It's not an order of magnitude at all, okay?
"This is definitely a lot of wealth!" Huan Yan praised.

As long as the reserves of this asphalt mine are large enough, the roads in the entire Yanzhou can be turned into asphalt roads, and if there is a surplus, they can help other cities build roads in the future, thereby earning a lot of money...

"This is a treasure! It's a pity that we can't use it now, and the manpower is insufficient." Huanyan remembered the location of this place in her heart, turned around and continued down the mountain, and began to deliberately leave some marks on the road.

You have to write down this treasure land, if you can't find it in the future, wouldn't it be a big loss?

However, within a few steps, Huanyan made a new discovery—a skeleton, a skeleton that had been dead for many years.

"It's a woman..." Judging from the number of bones, Huanyan could see that the skeleton was left by a woman: "The ribs on the chest are almost shattered. This is a fatal injury. Did someone slap the chest and die here?"

"what?"

"It seems that this woman fled here after being injured by someone, and died in the end. Otherwise..."

Huanyan bent down and picked up a strangely shaped ring from the right hand side of the skeleton. On the ring was engraved with... crossed wooden sticks?

"This thing is a treasure, the storage ring in the memory of the unlucky one?"

The other parts of the skeleton were already covered with dust, but this ring was spotless, and occasionally there would be a faint glimmer of light, which was not ordinary at first glance.

"But how to use this thing?"

The unlucky guy is a beggar. He has only heard of the storage ring. As for what it looks like and how to use it?I don't know at all!

"Put it away and talk about it later."

After putting away the ring, Huanyan found some stones nearby and buried the bones.

"Meeting is fate. Since I met you and took your things, I will not let you continue to die in the wilderness. The current conditions are limited. If there is a chance in the future, I will build a better grave for you."

At this time, the sun had already started to set, and it was less than two hours before it got dark. Huanyan didn't dare to delay any longer. Will want to stay overnight.

However, the accident happened again.

"It's weird." Huanyan couldn't help muttering: "Weird things happen every year, especially today!"

There was something blocking Huanyan's way down the mountain, or rather...a person.

A black-haired little loli about [-] or [-] years old was lying on the ground not far from Huanyan. If it wasn't for the small chest still beating slightly with her breathing, Huanyan would have even thought this little loli was a corpse.

Above the little loli, there is a human-shaped hole.It was a hole formed by the smashing of dense leaves.

"What's the matter? A little loli fell from the sky?" Huan Yan instantly felt that something about this little loli was not simple.

But you can't just ignore death, right?Huan Yan stepped forward quickly, and found that the little girl's dirty face was a little pale, and her clothes were all tattered, even her white thighs were exposed, but her breathing was quite steady.After a little pulse checking, it was determined that the little girl's life was not in danger, but it was difficult to wake up for a while.

It's getting dark again, and with a cheerful personality, it's impossible to leave little Lolita alone in this deep mountain and old forest.

Therefore, although there are many doubts about the little girl appearing alone in this deep mountain and old forest, and she was unconscious here, Huanyan still put her in the back basket, carried the medicinal materials and went down the mountain with her.

People say that going up the mountain is easy and going down the mountain is difficult.But that's just for ordinary people, and Huanyan is obviously not ordinary people.

Although most of the medicine and a little lolita were carried on the back, Huanyan went down the mountain very fast, as if she was carrying an empty backpack on her back. Hurry up slowly. After there were not so many accidents, Huanyan finally made it before dark out of the mountain.

As soon as he came out of the mountain, he saw the only remaining hunters in the village rushing from the direction of the village with weapons such as stone grass and stone knives.
