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

Chapter 252: Leech Forest, physical strength increases dramatically!

Coming out of the Old Ghost Forest, Chen Yang displayed his skills and leapt onto the treetops. His figure flickered like a fluttering butterfly as he quickly headed down the slope.

Tulonggou.

There has been plenty of rain in the mountains these past few days, and the water in the ditch has overflowed. The water is turbid and rolling down, and the sound of splashing water is all around my ears.

Some time ago, Chen Yang came here when he was hunting the Wild Boar King.

Tulonggou is located below Laoguilin, separated by a lacquer tree forest and a large mixed wood forest. It is also a deep mountain area and rarely visited by people.

In the past, when supplies were scarce, many hunters in the village would go into the mountains to hunt, and a small path was opened. But now, with no worries about food and clothing, there are no hunters left, and the old road has long been deserted.

Walking down along the ditch, there is a mixed wood forest connected to the cliff and deep valley.

Chen Yang had been to this mixed woods when he was hunting the Wild Boar King. There were many blood-sucking leeches in it. Even now, he still feels a little numb when he thinks about it.

Outside the mixed woods, Chen Yang stopped.

There were several weasels standing on the treetops. Their eyes were like cameras, monitoring everything in the forest in real time.

"Squeak!"

When they saw Chen Yang coming, they immediately came down from the trees and reported something to Lao Huang with gesticulations.

He put all the weasels into the pet space, leaving only Old Yellow standing on his shoulder.

"Squeak..."

Old Huang pointed to the mixed woods ahead and chattered in Chen Yang's ear.

Ye Mingtang's body is in the forest in front.

Chen Yang took a deep breath, his face looking somewhat embarrassed.

You really know how to choose a place.

Could it be that they knew he was afraid of these crawling, blood-sucking creatures, so they ran here to hide?

To be honest, Chen Yang had an instinctive resistance to this leech forest.

Just thinking back to the last time when leeches crawled all over his body, his hair stood on end.

No matter how much you resist, you're already here and you can't just sit outside and wait.

He took out a windbreaker from his backpack and put it on, tying his cuffs, trouser legs and collar tightly.

Then he took out a bag of realgar powder, dissolved it with water from the ditch, and poured it all over his body from head to toe. Then he walked towards the leech forest.

After taking two steps, Chen Yang stopped again.

He hesitated for a moment and took out the [Black Bear Pill] which was the reward for the Huangjing hunting mission.

There might be a fight in the near future. Although he was confident in his own strength, it would be better to improve his strength a little bit and have more protection to avoid any unexpected situations.

Asking Lao Huang to watch over him, Chen Yang immediately threw the black bear pill into his mouth, chewed it twice, and swallowed it.

The pill goes into the abdomen.

Soon, a warm feeling rose from the abdomen and quickly spread throughout the body.

The effect of the Black Bear Pill is relatively mild, and there is almost no discomfort. This is not the first time Chen Yang has taken it.

My whole body felt like being soaked in warm water, extremely comfortable.

Every cell seemed to be frying in oil, and a faint sizzling sound could be heard.

The wound on my shoulder was also warm and a little itchy.

The medicinal power was not only tempering his body, but also promoting the recovery of his wounds.

The itching is because flesh is growing.

Chen Yang resisted the urge to scratch it. The whole process lasted for about ten minutes, and the warm feeling gradually subsided.

He clenched his fists, and his knuckles crackled.

His physical strength increased dramatically, his power was significantly enhanced, and he no longer felt any pain from the wound on his right arm.

He tried to punch, but the wound had no effect.

Just tear off the bandage, the scab on it is old and falls off easily. New flesh has grown back on the place that was originally cut off, and it looks red and tender. It can basically be considered healed.

I didn’t expect that this [Black Bear Pill] could also promote tissue growth and heal wounds.

……

Name: Chen Yang.

Physical fitness: 804/900.

……

In the leech forest.

The grass is lush, the trees are rugged, the air is unusually humid, and the dew condenses into beads, constantly dripping down the leaves.

You can see many leeches on the grass and trees.

It's so colorful that it gives people goose bumps.

They are like assassins hiding in the dark. Whenever there is a person or an animal passing by, as long as they stop for a while, they will decisively drop from the tree, attach themselves to the other party's body without anyone noticing, and suck blood to their heart's content.

Chen Yang walked forward quickly, not daring to stop at all. Just thinking about the scene of these worms falling on his body made him shudder.

clap clap clap!

There was a constant noise behind me, and I didn't know if it was the sound of dew dripping or leeches falling.

This forest is very large, and there are countless leeches. If ordinary animals don't know how powerful these insects are, if they rashly go deep into them, they will be entangled by these insects and will most likely be sucked dry.

Along the way, Chen Yang saw many animal skeletons.

Among them, small animals are the majority, but there are occasionally some slightly larger animals, such as goats, badgers, wild boars, etc.

One can imagine how horrible this forest is.

Hundreds of meters deeper, a big tree appeared in Chen Yang's sight.

Old Huang squatted on Chen Yang's shoulder, pulled a leech off Chen Yang's neck and threw it far away.

It pointed at the big tree in front and made some gibberish gestures to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang touched his neck and leaned towards the big tree.

It was a camphor tree, growing next to a mud puddle.

It is about one or two meters in diameter and probably forty or fifty meters high, like a pillar in the sky.

This tree is at least a hundred years old, and its leaves have grown golden threads. From a distance, it glows with a golden glow.

If nothing unexpected happens, it will be the golden nanmu that has produced golden threads.

However, it did not grow into anything significant, it was just an ordinary tree without any spirituality.

The tree trunk is straight, and its crown is like a large, open umbrella, lush and green. It stands out among the mixed woods.

The only drawback is that there is a big hole in the trunk of the tree.

A huge tree hole, it looked like the bottom was at least two meters deep, with cracks and the trunk seemed to have been hollowed out.

When Chen Yang got closer, he could see with his naked eyes that there was a person standing in the tree hole, without the need for radar.

The light was dim, but I could still make out a man with disheveled hair and ragged clothes.

He just stood quietly in the tree hole, like a statue, and Chen Yang's arrival did not seem to alarm him.

There were many leeches around, but strangely, these leeches did not approach the figure in the tree hole.

They seemed to be afraid of something and just wandered around the big tree, forming a circle, densely packed and clearly separated. They didn't dare to get close, yet were reluctant to leave.

It was Ye Mingtang.

Chen Yang stopped more than ten meters away and did not dare to move forward rashly.

At this moment, the scene in front of me seems somewhat strange and weird.

Why is he coming here for no reason?
He hid in a tree hole of such a big tree.

Could it be that this golden nanmu tree is used as a coffin?

You know what, it really looks like a coffin.

In ancient times, people often used nanmu to make coffins. This kind of wood is not easy to decay, especially the golden nanmu with golden threads, which is the best. In ancient times, it was a tribute to the royal family and ordinary people were not qualified to use it.

It is said that coffins made of golden nanmu have extremely strong anti-corrosion ability, and the corpses put in it will not decay for a long time.

Of course, this is just a legend, and the truth should not be that exaggerated.

Ye Mingtang's body, did he find a natural coffin for himself?

At this moment, facing such a corpse, to be honest, Chen Yang felt a little scared.

It's very quiet around here.

An absolutely quiet environment will maximize the fear in one's heart. Humans are thinking animals. When exposed to certain specific environments, they cannot help but associate and imagine.

In other words, it is psychological suggestion, scaring oneself.

At this moment, Chen Yang felt a little scared instinctively.

Can this corpse really move?
He moved closer, pulled out the system, and scanned the corpse in the tree hole.

However, nothing useful was gained.

Chen Yang did not detect the presence of insects in Ye Mingtang's body, nor did he notice anything different about the corpse.

Should we just take action and take out the body?
Or should we wait and see what happens?

"Squeak!" Old Huang gestured on Chen Yang's shoulder, as if telling Chen Yang to go ahead and not to be afraid!
Chen Yang hesitated for a moment, put aside the fear in his heart, broke off a small tree from the side, carved out a pole more than three meters long, tied a hook on one end, and after a while, a simple hook appeared in front of the three people.

Chen Yang held the other end, reached directly into the tree hole, hooked Ye Mingtang by the collar and dragged him out.

"Bah!"

Ye Mingtang's body still had great strength. This hook did not pull it out as promised, but instead tore his clothes to shreds.

Chen Yang's face changed slightly, and he immediately hooked the flesh and dragged the corpse out.

"boom!"

Perhaps because of the force used, Chen Yang failed to hold back and Ye Mingtang's body suddenly flew out.

With a whoosh, it flew directly in front of Chen Yang.

The corpse had its eyes closed and its face was pale, as if it was asleep.

However, just as it was about to fall in front of Chen Yang, its eyes suddenly opened as if a switch had been turned on.

Chen Yang was already on guard against this, and when he saw this, his heart skipped a beat. He threw away the hook in his hand and flew back subconsciously.

The corpse fell to the ground, stuck its toes on the ground, jumped four or five meters, and jumped straight in front of Chen Yang. It swung its big hand like a palm fan and slapped Chen Yang's chest.

Extremely fast.

Chen Yang frowned slightly, stood still, and met the attack with a palm.

He already has a physique of over eight hundred pounds, and after performing the Thirteen Scouting Moves, with the added power, Chen Yang can now easily exert a force of over a thousand pounds with just a single palm strike.

"Oh!"

When the two palms collided, it was like two pieces of iron plates hitting each other, making a loud noise.

Ye Mingtang is obviously no match for him.
The corpse flew backwards, drew a parabola in the air, and fell into the mud with a plop.

Chen Yang stood still.

The wound on his right hand had just healed, and although he had recovered, he did not dare to use his full strength. After that palm strike, his palm felt numb.

The other person's body was too hard.

Although he was very strong, it was like hitting an iron plate. Although he could suppress the opponent, he also felt uncomfortable.

The power that Ye Mingtang displayed in his palm strike just now was definitely at the fifth level.

Chen Yang was horrified. Could the bugs occupying his body really be minions?

Is this insect so scary?
Before, he thought that it was the Polygonatum that controlled Ye Mingtang's corpse. The Polygonatum transmitted medicinal power to the corpse, which was understandable as the sudden increase in the corpse's power. But now it seems that it has nothing to do with the Polygonatum.

Now that this corpse is no longer controlled by Huang Jing, it can still exert strength far beyond his original body. It can only be said that it is a problem with the bug in his body.

This insect can not only control its corpse, but also make the corpse exert power that exceeds that of its original body.

The most important point is that it seems to be able to obtain the memory of the corpse.

He can also perform the Thousand Buddha Palm, which is proof of this.

After all, Ye Mingtang was already dead, but his corpse could still perform the palm techniques he had learned during his lifetime, which must have meant that he had acquired his memories.

Do the minions have this ability?
Chen Yang couldn't explain it for a moment. Although he knew something about this strange insect, his understanding was not comprehensive.

There is no doubt that the worm in Ye Mingtang's body has become powerful.

A-level minions have already developed spirituality and intelligence, so it is hard to say how capable they are.

In the quagmire.

Ye Mingtang's body sank directly.

A whirlpool appeared on the surface of the mud, and gradually the whirlpool became smaller and smaller, and then calm was restored.

Chen Yang frowned, he turned on the radar, walked to the edge of the mud pit and probed into the pit.

This quagmire is more than ten meters wide and no one knows how it was formed. Apart from a layer of water on the surface, there is mud underneath.

The silt layer was thicker than Chen Yang had imagined.

It was very deep. At least, his radar detection range of ten meters could not reach the bottom.

Ye Mingtang's body was sinking and soon out of the radar detection range.

"This……"

Chen Yang's expression changed slightly.

How can this be done?

The insect was obviously quite intelligent. Perhaps it knew it was no match for its opponent, so it used this method to dodge?
For a moment, Chen Yang felt a little overwhelmed.

If this was a puddle of water, he would just pinch his nose and go down with gritted teeth.

But this is a quagmire. No matter how powerful he is, he will surely die if he goes in.

After walking around the mud, Chen Yang couldn't find any good solution. The body had already sunk into the mud and there was no movement at all. It didn't look like it was going to come out again.

Radar was unable to detect how deep the quagmire was or where exactly the body was.

Chen Yang scratched his head.

This poses a difficult problem for myself!

Either find a way to get him out on his own, or, there is only one way, dry up this quagmire.

However, draining the quagmire is a huge project. Without machinery, it is obviously not realistic for Chen Yang to do it alone.

"Squeak!"

When he was at a loss, Old Huang pointed and shouted a few times in his ear.

Chen Yang frowned slightly. What Lao Huang meant was that if they couldn't get him out, then let him stay here forever.

Chen Yang didn't have any objection. Anything was fine. However, he still had to ask Qinzhou about the specific procedures.

After all, Ye Mingtang is Qinzhou's friend.

The purpose of Qinzhou's trip is to bring Ye Mingtang's body back. If his body is sealed here, the old man may not be happy.

He immediately took out his phone and called Qinzhou.

The signal was very poor in the mountains and it took a while to get through. Chen Yang explained the situation and asked him how to deal with it.

Qinzhou was silent for a while, telling him not to act rashly for the time being. After waiting for about half an hour, he finally found the leech forest.

Qinzhou was well aware of the horror of the leeches in the forest. The old man was wrapped even more tightly than Chen Yang.

"how to do?"

Chen Yang pointed to the mud in front of him. In a short while, he had found many large stones nearby and piled them beside the mud.

As long as Qinzhou agreed, he could sink these stones and directly press Ye Mingtang's body underneath, making it impossible for him to get out.

Qinzhou walked around the mud pit twice, and then used a branch to test the depth of the mud pit, but found that he could not reach the bottom at all. His face looked extremely ugly.

This is really a difficult problem.

He certainly didn't want to leave his old friend's body exposed in the wilderness, so if possible, he would definitely find a way to get him back.

However, the situation before him made him completely lose his mind.

If you are outside the mountain, you can easily solve the problem by finding an excavator and empty the quagmire in just a few strokes.

But this is in the mountains.

He took out his pipe and smoked it non-stop, standing and squatting, looking a little anxious.

He seemed to be turning a deaf ear to Chen Yang's question.

"Or, let's wait here, maybe he will come out by himself?" Chen Yang said.

"call!"

Qin Zhou exhaled a puff of smoke, "Not necessarily. You also said that the insect has already gained intelligence. We are here, and it wants to hide. Can we still guard here forever?"

"So what do you say?"

Chen Yang raised his eyebrows. "How about that? Never mind whether there are bugs or corpses. I'll just fill this place up and make a grave for him. You can erect a tombstone for him afterwards. It won't count as a corpse left exposed in the wilderness. At most, you can walk a little more in the future to come here to pay your respects..."

Qinzhou took a few puffs of his cigarette and did not reply to Chen Yang immediately. He took out his cell phone, found a place with a better signal, and made a call.

Chen Yang ignored it. He should be calling Ye Kuan.

After all, Ye Kuan is Ye Mingtang's son, so Qinzhou must obtain consent on how to deal with the body.

A few minutes later, Qin Zhou came back and said, "Fill it in. There is no other way for now. We will find a way to move his grave when we have the chance."

The decision has already been made.

It can be seen that Qinzhou is also helpless.

If there were other ways, I wouldn't have made such a decision.

He actually knew very well that once these stones sank, it would be much more difficult to retrieve Ye Mingtang's body in the future.

But there is no better way at the moment. They cannot take the body, nor can they just leave. Pressing the body to the bottom of the pool is the most direct way to prevent Ye Mingtang's body from coming out to cause trouble after they leave.

"Wow!"

Chen Yang had been waiting for this moment. Without saying a word, he kicked a thousand-pound boulder.

The huge stone rolled into the mud, stirring up a large area of ​​mud.

The next second, the stone sank quickly into the pool.
