After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 247 It is parasitized by a spiritual creature!
"Think carefully, if you miss this opportunity, you won't be able to find this store again!"

Qinzhou curled his lips.

It wasn't something he did on impulse, nor did he mean to joke with Huang Can.

This kid has a fire silkworm in his body. With this strange insect, as long as he is guided a little, he will definitely achieve extraordinary things in the future.

He is over seventy years old, and it is uncertain how long he can live. He has a lot of apprentices, but most of them are swindlers and cheaters, and there is no real successor to his legacy.

Huang Can now knows nothing. It can be said that he is just a piece of unpolished jade waiting to be carved. If he doesn't pick it up, it will be picked up by others sooner or later.

So, it would be better for him to pick it up.

He himself can't make a name for himself in Panshan Realm. If his disciple can make a name for himself in the future, it will also bring him honor, right?
However, the result was not what he expected.

This kid doesn't seem interested in becoming his disciple.

It seems that it is necessary to find an opportunity to show him some skills.

……

-

However, Chen Yang soon arrived at the top of the cliff of Centipede Ridge.

This Centipede Ridge has a cliff on one side and a slope on the other. The cliff side is very steep, and the slope side is not very gentle.

The whole thing looks like a natural stone wall, stretching across the mountains.

This mountain is covered with thorns. Not to mention humans, even animals that are good at climbing will inevitably get stabbed and bleed if they come here.

There used to be a lot of poisonous insects on Centipede Ridge, especially centipedes, which were astonishingly numerous.

But after Chen Yang's last trapping, they are obviously much less common now.

Occasionally, one or two could be seen, but they would quickly dive into the bushes and disappear in a moment.

The terrain on the top of the cliff was slightly flatter, but it was also covered with thorns. Chen Yang carefully looked for a place to stay and slowly approached the location marked on the map.

Not long after he walked away, a lush green scene came into his sight.

On the slope not far away, there was a large patch of green thorns.

raspberry!
This is a woody plant of the genus Rubus in the Rosaceae family.

To be precise, it is a wild fruit, also known as raspberry!
In Lingjiang, locals call it Diangupaoer or Marchpaoer.

They usually mature during the millet season. The fruits are small and red, like strawberries, and taste sour and sweet.

It tastes good and has certain medicinal value, but it is a bit difficult to pick it.

There are many barbs on the branches of raspberries, which are like hidden weapons among hidden weapons. If you are not careful, you will get pricked.

The raspberry field in front of him was very large, completely blocking the road ahead of Chen Yang.

It is autumn now and the grains are ripe, so of course there will be no bubbles left.

Countless thorns, stacked together in all directions, blocked the road ahead. The thorny branches almost wrote the words "Keep Out" there.

Chen Yang looked at the map.

The location shown on the map is not far behind this patch of raspberries.

At most, it's only fifty or sixty meters away.

This thing actually knows how to find a place!

Chen Yang's eyes moved slightly, and he looked forward. He could vaguely see a cliff more than ten meters high about fifty or sixty meters away.

But there was no sign of Polygonatum.

It’s quite far away, you have to go over to see it clearly.

I turned on the radar and checked the thorns ahead.

Chen Yang was a little hesitant. The thorns blocked the way. If he tried to go through, it would probably cause quite a noise.

This distance should be enough for the Huangjing to escape if it is alarmed.

"Never mind, just run away, we can catch you after you run away."

Chen Yang made up his mind, took out his Mo Dao, and attacked the thorn bush in front of him with violent force.

Swish, swish, swish!
The broken thorns flew everywhere, and under Chen Yang's continuous fierce attack, a path was cleared in front in less than two minutes.

Putting away the Mo Dao, Chen Yang used the Feiyan Gong to easily cross the thorny area.

Run quickly towards the cliff ahead.

At the same time, he was also paying attention to the movement of the Polygonatum sibiricum on the map.

He made quite a bit of noise just now, but the red dot on the map didn't move.

He couldn't help but feel a little confused.

What is this Polygonatum doing?
Was it not afraid of being found by me? Or was it hiding in the dark, intending to attack me without even thinking of escaping?

Chen Yang held the butcher knife in his hand.

He has always been cautious. Although he instinctively felt that dealing with a Polygonatum sibiricum should not be a difficult task, it is better to be safe than sorry.

There is a cliff on one side of the top of the cliff and a steep slope on the other side. The middle area is only more than ten meters wide and the ground is covered with moss. Because it has rained, it is very slippery. If you are not careful, you can easily fall off the hundred-meter cliff and be smashed to pieces.

At this moment, it was not yet four o'clock in the afternoon and the wind on the top of the mountain was a bit strong.

After walking forward for dozens of meters, a stone wall appeared in front of Chen Yang.

The stone wall is only about ten meters high and looks more like a huge stone standing there.

The top of the stone wall is the highest point of Centipede Ridge.

At this time, Chen Yang was standing under the stone wall, and the map showed that the Polygonatum sibiricum was nearby.

To be precise, it was inside the stone wall.

He looked at the map.

On the map, there were originally two red dots on Centipede Ridge. One was the killer Polygonatum, and the other one should represent another hundred-year-old Polygonatum.

But now, only a red dot remains.

Perhaps the distance was too close and the two red dots overlapped, or it might be that the killer Polygonatum had swallowed up the other hundred-year-old Polygonatum.

The white dot on the map is Chen Yang's current location, and the red dot is right in front of him, very close.

According to the scale shown on the map, the distance will not exceed 10 meters at most.

However, at this moment, there was a stone wall in front of Chen Yang.

Map positioning error?

Obviously unlikely.

Chen Yang would rather believe that he had taken the wrong path than believe that the system had made a positioning error.

That Polygonatum sibiricum plant should be nearby.

He walked closer and took a closer look. The stone wall was covered with moss and many vines.

He used a butcher knife to gently push aside the vines on the stone wall, and a crack appeared in front of him.

The entire stone wall looked like it had been struck by lightning. There was a palm-sized crack in the middle, extending from the top of the stone wall to the bottom.

Chen Yang turned on the radar and probed into the inside of the stone wall.

The entire crack runs completely through the stone wall, forming a small space in the middle of the stone wall.

According to the radar detection, at this moment, inside the crack, about ten meters away from Chen Yang, there was a Polygonatum sibiricum plant with stems and leaves three or four meters high.

It has two long stems, both three or four meters high and very thick, growing quietly in the cracks of the rocks.

Chen Yang's arrival did not seem to alarm it.

He quickly pulled out the system panel and checked the information on the Polygonatum sibiricum.

……

"Illustrated: Polygonatum multiflorum."

"Rating: Grade A."

"Introduction: A Huangjing that has been given spirituality and parasitized by a spiritual creature. It has lost its self. When night falls and it is stimulated by the outside world, it will fall into a state of madness and kill to its heart's content..."

……

"Ding, the mission is released."

“Mission: Hunting the Crazy Polygonatum (Progress 0/1)”

"Reward: Black Bear Pill*1."

……

Soon, information about this Polygonatum sibiricum appeared in Chen Yang's mind.

In conjunction with this, a task was also issued.

Chen Yang was slightly surprised, then his brows lit up with joy.

Black Bear Pill, a magical medicine that can increase your physical strength by 100 points.

He hasn't tasted black bear balls for a long time.

One Black Bear Pill, plus the Body Tempering Pill promised by the Mountain Going Association, is enough to give him a 150-point physical improvement.

His current physical condition is 704/900.

In other words, as long as he completes this job, he can directly increase his physical strength to around 850 points.

He is not far from his physical limit and will soon be able to reach the spiritual realm.

This time it finally came.

But this thing is hidden in the cracks of the rocks, so it’s a bit difficult to deal with.

At this time, Chen Yang was in a dilemma.

This Polygonatum sibiricum plant is now growing in a crack in the rock. The crack is so narrow that not only people can't get in, but even tools can't get in.

How to do this?
Break apart?

How could he have that much strength?

After thinking for a while, Chen Yang climbed to the top of the stone wall, found the location of the crack, and took out the half bottle of strong herbicide that was left over from dealing with He Shiwu.

After finding the location of the crack, Chen Yang tried to pour the herbicide into it.

The idea is very good.

However, Chen Yang soon stopped.

The shape of the crack was irregular. According to the radar image, the herbicide could not flow to the ideal position at all, but flowed directly out of the crack and flowed down the cliff along the cliff wall.

waste!

This method simply doesn't work.

Chen Yang frowned. Water attack, fire attack, or force attack?
I simulated various methods in my mind, but in the end, none of them seemed to be quite right.

Well, use insects!

He slapped the insect seed bag, and dozens of centipedes crawled out. Driven by Chen Yang, the centipedes quickly got into the crack and crawled towards the location of the Polygonatum odoratum in the crack.

Although centipedes do not eat Polygonatum, under the command of Chen Yang, these centipedes quickly attacked the Polygonatum.

In the crack.

After being attacked, the originally motionless Polygonatum sibiricum suddenly moved.

The stems waved violently, and several fruits burst open, emitting a layer of faint reddish smoke.

The smoke quickly spread through the cracks.

The group of centipedes that were attacking frantically, once they came into contact with the red smoke, they immediately started rolling on the spot as if they had fallen into a frying pan.

The centipedes trembled all over as if they had been electrocuted, and in just a few seconds, they turned over on their stomachs.

Dozens of centipedes died in an instant.

poison!
This Polygonatum sibiricum is actually poisonous?

And this poison seems to be quite strong.

Chen Yang's expression suddenly changed.

A-level spiritual plants are indeed extraordinary.

He quickly moved away, fearing that he would be contaminated by the reddish poisonous gas.

His current physical condition makes him immune to Class B biological toxins, but he is not immune to Class A biological toxins.

Tiny roots stretched out, wrapped around the centipede corpses, and dragged them directly into the soil.

Then, the Polygonatum returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened.

Chen Yang's face turned pale.

Dozens of centipedes were wasted in vain.

He originally wanted to release the bone-eating beetle to give it a try, but after hesitating for a moment he gave up.

This thing is hiding inside the stone wall, which can be said to have taken advantage of the terrain. Although the bone-eating beetle is strong, Chen Yang cannot guarantee that he can take it down.

He knocked on the stone wall with the butcher knife for a while, trying to make a sound and wake the Polygonatum odoratum out.

However, the Polygonatum sibiricum simply ignored it.

I even used the power of the bracelet to try to communicate with it, but it was extremely cold and didn't say a word.

This made Chen Yang's face darken, and he felt powerless, like a tiger trying to eat the sky, not knowing where to start.

……

Down the mountain.

Qinzhou and the other man waited for more than half an hour before Chen Yang came down from the top of the mountain.

He hurried forward to inquire about the situation.

Chen Yang briefly explained the situation.

Qin Zhou's face was gloomy. "Didn't you see the bodies of Old Ye and his wife?"

Chen Yang shook his head.

Indeed, I haven't seen it.

He searched around the top of the mountain but couldn't find the bodies of Ye Mingtang and his wife.

The crack in the stone wall where Huang Jing was located was very narrow and obviously could not accommodate a human body.

"Maybe it hid it somewhere else. You don't need to worry too much. It might eat the body."

Chen Yang consoled him, and then said, "It's hiding in the cracks of the rocks, which is not easy to deal with. The space above is narrow, and it's not convenient to fight with it, so I think it's better to lure it down and deal with it."

"Ok!"

Qinzhou nodded.

Centipede Ridge is indeed not suitable for fighting, so it is always better to be cautious.

Qinzhou was well aware of the strength of Ye Mingtang and his wife, and they were definitely not weaker than him.

Especially since Ye Mingtang came from the Iron Buddha Sect and was also a Panshan hermit of the second level, an old man in the Panshan world and had rich experience in the martial arts world. But even so, he was still possessed by this thing. You can imagine how evil this thing is.

"How do we lure it down?" Huang Can asked from the side.

Chen Yang said, "I just tried it. Maybe because it's daytime, it's not very willing to show up. It should be better at night."

According to the illustrated information provided by the system, this Polygonatum sibiricum is no longer an ordinary Polygonatum sibiricum, but is possessed by some kind of spiritual creature.

Therefore, Chen Yang guessed that the one controlling this Polygonatum odoratum now should be the so-called spiritual creature mentioned by the system.

As for what that spiritual object was, he couldn't tell at the moment.

But according to the system's prompts, this thing will go crazy at night and it is easy to lose itself and go into a state of madness.

Therefore, if you provoke it at night, there may be unexpected results.

"I'll go guard the other side."

Qinzhou patted his butt and stood up.

I’m afraid that thing will run away from the other side of Centipede Ridge.

"No need."

Chen Yang shook his head.

He has a map and can lock the location of the Polygonatum sibiricum in real time, so it doesn't matter whether it runs away or not.

It's best for the three of them to be together. If they are separated, Chen Yang is afraid that he won't be able to take care of them.

In his opinion, this Polygonatum sibiricum is nothing to worry about, but for Qinzhou and Huang Can, it may not be the case.

At this time, Huang Can pointed to a place not far away and said, "There is a cave over there. Is the body you are looking for inside?"

Feng'er Cave. He had been to Centipede Ridge once or twice before and knew the existence of such a cave.

This gave Chen Yang a reminder.

Since the bodies of Ye Mingtang and his wife were not found on the mountain, they must have been hidden by that Polygonatum sibiricum.

This cave is indeed a good place to hide a body.

At that moment, the three of them walked towards Feng'er Cave.

Huang Can had just wandered around the cave entrance, but didn't dare to go in alone.

Now that Chen Yang and the others were following him, he became bolder and took the initiative to walk in front.

The cave was dark and damp.

The wall of the cave seemed to be leaking, and water was dripping non-stop.

The three of them used flashlights to illuminate the cave and explored forward carefully.

In this environment, the purpose is still to find the corpse. To say that you are not afraid is completely bluffing.

How could you not be afraid?
Especially Huang Can, who was walking in front, he felt a little regretful for showing off.

At this moment, he was both looking forward to discovering something and afraid of discovering something.

Being brave or not has nothing to do with fear of the unknown.

I gritted my teeth and walked through the cave, checking it inside and out, up and down.

Nothing was found.

At the exit of the cave, Huang Can let out a long sigh, and when the wind blew, his whole body was soaked with sweat.

"Not here."

Huang Can poked his head out of the cave, then turned back into the cave. He felt safer staying with Chen Yang and the others.

Qinzhou's face turned pale.

He went into the mountains this time with two purposes.

One is to bring the bodies of Ye Mingtang and his wife back and bury them in peace.

The second is to destroy the Polygonatum sibiricum, avenge his old friend and comfort Ye Mingtang’s spirit in heaven.

The people were already dead, and he couldn't possibly let his old friend and his wife's bodies lie exposed in the wilderness, let alone allow their bodies to be toyed with by that Polygonatum odoratum.

Unforgivable.

Qin Zhou clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes were filled with hatred that could hardly be concealed.

"Let's go, we'll talk about it in the evening."

Chen Yang patted his shoulder. There was no need to look for the couple's bodies now. They could wait until night and catch the Polygonatum sibiricum, and they would naturally know their whereabouts.

……

-

Night falls quietly.

A bonfire was lit on a flat ground under Centipede Ridge.

The temperature has dropped and the nights in the mountains have become a bit chilly.

The three of them cooked some food and filled their stomachs. It was already completely dark.

In the woods, the sound of cicadas rose and fell, and from time to time one or two birds and animals called out, making the night seem unusually mysterious.

Qin Zhou frequently looked at his mobile phone, or to be exact, he was looking at the time.

He had already begun to feel a little impatient.

"When will we do it?"

It was already past nine o'clock, and if he didn't get started he would feel sleepy. Qinzhou looked up at the top of the mountain, eager to give it a try.

"Why are you in such a hurry? You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."

Chen Yang was not in a hurry, "It will come down by itself. If you are bored, you can take a nap first."

Qinzhou was at a standstill.

As the saying goes, worrying too much makes you confused. He is a cautious person by nature, but in this matter, he lost his calmness.

Taking a deep breath, he took out his pipe and started smoking again, trying to calm his restless mood.

I waited until after ten o'clock and the moon rose.

The cool moonlight sprinkled into the mountains and forests, giving them an inexplicable sense of depth.

On the map, the red dot that Chen Yang had been paying attention to finally started to move.

It left the stone wall, wandered on the top of the cliff for a while, and then slowly moved down along the side of Centipede Ridge.

"Chen Yang."

Huang Can reached out and pulled Chen Yang's arm, and whispered, "It seems to be coming."

Huang Can's face was full of nervousness as he stared straight ahead. His eyes seemed to have seen something extraordinary and were able to pierce through the night ahead.
