The Stone Fairy Who Is Not Afraid of Thunder

The rain had stopped by this time. The green valley after the rain is particularly pleasant!

The fresh air and green eyes filled Qin Shaochen's mood, which had been practicing for a long time.

Just as he was about to step into the valley, Qin Shaochen suddenly heard two people walking through the forest in the distance towards the valley.

"I didn't expect that there would be people here in Black Mist Valley!"

His curiosity aroused, he couldn't help but stop and turned his head to look towards where the sound came from.

Hearing the sound of footsteps getting closer, two people walked out of the woods one after the other.

The person in front is a middle-aged man, with a thin build, a pale face and no beard, and an aura about him. He is obviously a martial artist.

Followed by a sturdy young man, but he looked tall and tall.

Both of them carried medicine baskets on their backs and held short hoes in their hands. They looked like they were people who walked in the mountains all year round to collect medicine.

"Surprisingly, there are people who are not afraid of death and dare to come here to collect medicine!"

Qin Shaochen couldn't help but sigh!

Those two people obviously didn't expect that there were still people in front of the black mist valley. There was a pause at first, and when he saw that Qin Shaochen was alone, he came closer.

"Hey! I didn't expect to see a young colleague in this ghost place. What a pleasure to meet!"

After the middle-aged man approached, he cupped his hands and said with a smile.

"Yeah, I'm surprised too! Everyone said this place is too dangerous and inaccessible, but they didn't expect to meet a senior and a little brother here!"

Qin Shaochen had been in the mountains for more than ten days, and now he was a little happy to see people.

"Are you two also planning to go into the valley to collect herbs?"

"Yeah, this season, it's hard to dig out any medicine."

"I was thinking that I might be able to find some good medicinal materials in this place. So, I took the risk and came over to have a look!"

Middle-aged people appear to be more talkative.

"By the way, young man, you dare to come to the deep mountains and forests alone, and even go to this place to collect medicine. Hey! This courage is really admirable!"

"Like my predecessors, I saw that it was difficult to collect herbs everywhere, so I came here to take a risk."

Qin Shaochen was really happy.

"Senior, since we all have the same goal, which is to go into the valley to collect herbs, how about we be each other's companions and go in together?"

"What?"

The middle-aged herb collector was stunned, obviously not expecting Qin Shaochen to send such an invitation.

"This is still not appropriate."

"You and I belong to two different parties. If we discover a medicinal plant at the same time, it will inevitably cause a dispute. Wouldn't it be bad!\

,"Qin Shaochen didn't expect this, and when he thought about it, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"That's right! I didn't expect this, but senior has thought it through carefully. In that case, I'll leave first."

After saying that, he was ready to enter the valley.

The middle-aged man suddenly spoke.

"Little brother, are you going in like this?"

"Before entering the valley, don't you... need to take an antidote?"

The middle-aged man was a little surprised.

"You have to know that the poisonous mist will come as soon as you say it. If you don't eat it in advance, you won't even have time to regret it?"

"Antidote?"

Qin Shaochen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

"Oh! As for the antidote, I've actually taken it just now."

"I think by this time, the medicine has already dissipated. So now is the right time to enter the valley!"

After saying that, he cupped his hands, bowed to the two of them, turned around, and went straight into the valley.

The middle-aged man wanted to speak, but when the words reached his lips, he held back.

Staring at Qin Shaochen's fading figure, thoughtfully!

The sturdy young man was a little impatient, and he couldn't help but get anxious when he saw that Qin Shaochen's figure had turned around the mouth of the valley and disappeared.

"Fourth Master, that boy has already gone in. Let's enter the valley quickly!"

"Otherwise, if we go too late, all those good herbs will be poached by that boy!"

"Why are you so anxious! The Black Mist Valley is not a kind place, and it is not something anyone can enter just because they want to. If you are not careful, you may lose your life. It is better to be careful!"

After speaking, he took out two pills from his arms and handed one of them to the young man.

"Take it quickly. The potency of this medicine will take some time to dissolve. As soon as the potency is dissolved, we will enter the valley immediately!"

The young man took the pill and swallowed it in one gulp without hesitation.

Then he sat on the grass and waited for the medicine to wear off.

After sitting idle for a while, he couldn't help but ask: "Fourth Master, isn't your antidote very powerful? Can it remove the toxicity of the black mist?"

"What a joke! There is no such powerful antidote in this world! There is no cure for the poison of the black mist."

The middle-aged man shook his head.

"Our medicine can only have a delaying effect."

"I just hope that when I encounter black fog, I can hold on for a while longer and run a little longer. If I run out of the valley because of this, I will save my life!"

"It turns out that it only has this effect!"

The young man was greatly disappointed!

After a while, I thought of something again.

"Fourth Master, tell me, is that guy's antidote just now better than ours?"

"What a fart! I've seen it a long time ago. That kid doesn't have the antidote at all. I asked him about it. He was just bragging to save face!"

The middle-aged man had a sneer on his face.

"In the past, I always couldn't figure out why everyone knew that the valley was dangerous, but there were still people dying in it? Hehe! Today, I finally understand!"

"It turns out that there are really such idiots in this world who dare to take risks without any preparation. Isn't that behavior just courting death?"

When the young man heard this, he was stunned at first, and then laughed out loud.

"It turns out that the boy was bragging and didn't eat anything! Haha! After all the fuss, he turned out to be an idiot, which is ridiculous!"

The middle-aged man also shook his head and laughed with gloating.

***

As soon as Qin Shaochen entered the valley, he walked forward along the stream. Along the way, he never dared to stay too far away from the stream.

The stream gurgled and flowed. The further he went in, the stronger the water flow, and the more deep pools of water there were everywhere.

Seeing this, he was secretly happy.

He stopped to watch at a pool.

Sure enough, he saw that there were many small fish and shrimps in the water, which made him feel more at ease.

So, he began to pay attention to herbs.

Once he looked, he quickly found several common herbs.

He dug out the herbs and put them in the medicine basket.

"The book says that the soul bone fungus not only grows in dark and humid places, but also likes to grow with bones."

"That is to say, it is easiest to find that kind of poisonous fungus in places with wild animal bones."

"I will find some animal remains first, so it will be easier to find the soul bone fungus!"

But it is not so easy to find some dead animal remains.

After walking for a long time, I finally saw a dead small animal by the bushes beside the stream.

It looks like a hare.

But I didn't see any fungus after searching around.

"It seems that the poisonous fungus will grow easily only when the body rots and the bones are visible!"
