Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet.

Chapter 5: Immortal's Surplus Food! Demonic Centipede! (Please read and collect!)
Gu Yuan didn't know that Dong Gui and Sun Er were plotting against him. At this time, he was heading into the mountains.

In fact, strictly speaking, Yunmeng Mountain should be called Yunmeng Mountain Range.

This is a huge mountain range, stretching for countless miles, with unfathomable depth, extending to the six states of Feng, Qin, Liu, Yun, Ze and Yan in southern Xinjiang.

The deep mountains that Gu Yuan was going to were actually not the core at all. At most, they were just the periphery of the periphery of this mountain range.

The older generation in the village once said that there were fairies flying in the clouds and mist in the mountains, and some even said they had seen it with their own eyes.

As to whether it is true or not, no one knows.

Gu Yuan didn't know where this story or legend came from, nor did he care whether the "immortals appearing" was true or not. These were too far away from him.

Do what you are supposed to do, no matter where you are!

This is an irrefutable truth!
He is just a common man from the mountains, and he would only pursue the truth of these legends out of boredom.

Now, Gu Yuan only wants to make money!
Only with money can he improve his situation step by step!
Only then can he solve the troubles he faces!

Gu Yuan has not forgotten the threat from the Qian Mansion in the county.

Although he was the one who suffered a loss, it was precisely because of this that the other party sent Sun Er and Dong Gui to monitor him. It was obvious that this matter was not over!

If the other party has the slightest malicious intent, it will be a disaster that will destroy the family of three!
Besides, even if the other party was willing to give up, Gu Yuan still wouldn't!

The further you go into the mountains, the denser the trees become.

Even though it is early winter and the air is cold, the mountains and forests are not desolate at this time. They are even full of vitality. Looking around, the grass and trees are lush and green.

From time to time, the sounds of birds and animals can be heard one after another. However, it does not make people feel annoying. Instead, it makes people feel relaxed and lively!

At least at this moment, Gu Yuan was feeling the natural and harmonious atmosphere around him, breathing the cool air mixed with a hint of earth, and feeling very relaxed.

Ah Huang walked in front to explore the way for him.

Once there is any movement, he will be reminded!

There are many wild animals in the mountains, and in previous years there have been frequent reports of monsters coming down the mountain to harm people in several nearby counties, so Gu Yuan had to be careful.

After setting up several traps with hemp ropes and food in places where hares and pheasants were found, Gu Yuan planned to find a place to hide and wait quietly for the prey to fall into the trap.

Just as he was about to call back Ah Huang, who was searching for traces of wild animals around, at this moment, Ah Huang showed unusual emotional fluctuations, as if he had encountered something strange.

Although Ah Huang has low intelligence, Gu Yuan can sense its general situation based on its emotional fluctuations such as fear, joy, and anger.

At this time, Ah Huang was expressing joy.

After making sure there was no danger, Gu Yuan hurried over and came to a hillside.

This hillside is a bit remote and the vegetation is sparse.

The mountain rat Ah Huang was standing on a protruding stone in front of the hillside at this time. When he saw Gu Yuan coming, he made a "squeaking" sound, and crawled to a somewhat withered plant. He waved his claws repeatedly and started digging at its roots.

"what?"

Gu Yuan looked the plant up and down, his eyes flashing: "Is this Polygonatum?"

Polygonatum sibiricum is known as "the surplus food of immortals". It is a food and medicine. It can be used as a medicinal material to treat diseases and can also be used to fill the stomach. The county's pharmacies purchase it all year round.

Gu Yuan had heard of this thing in both his past and present lives.

“There are so many Polygonatum odoratum here.”

Gu Yuan looked at the Polygonatum in front of him, then turned his head to look at the other Polygonatum distributed around him. He was amazed and couldn't help feeling a little happy:

"Great, with these Polygonatum, even if I don't go hunting, I can dig them out and take them to the county town to exchange for money." These Polygonatum in front of him were obviously a surprise to him!
At that moment, Gu Yuan didn't hesitate and started digging.

Several Polygonatum sibiricum plants were dug out in succession. They were all quite large and obviously quite old.

Gu Yuan wiped one of them clean and took a bite. It tasted soft, slightly sweet, and a little bitter, but it was not bad.

But this thing is not easy to eat raw.

But after eating a small piece, Gu Yuan clearly felt that his slightly tired body began to recover soon.

"Good stuff!"

Gu Yuan's eyes lit up. While he was certain that the Polygonatum odoratum was effective, he was also curious about how much Polygonatum odoratum there was in this area.

He stood up and looked around, and found that this place had become a breeding ground for wild Polygonatum.

Polygonatum plants of all sizes can be seen almost everywhere. Gu Yuan even found a flat area as he continued walking up the hillside.

There are several plants of Polygonatum there, which are obviously quite different. Their leaves are larger, the plants are stronger, and the stems and leaves even have a green luster, which is obviously unusual!

Against the backdrop of the surrounding Polygonatum, it gives people a feeling of standing out from the crowd.

I don’t know how many years it has grown!

"Could these Polygonatum sibiricum plants be the legendary elixir?"

Gu Yuan was shocked and confused.

The older generation in the village often says that when medicinal herbs reach a certain age, they will absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and will transform into magical medicines with all kinds of incredible effects!
However, what shocked Gu Yuan the most was not these Polygonatum sibiricum plants that were suspected to be "magic medicines", but the fact that there were several white bones crawling on the ground next to these Polygonatum sibiricum plants!

These bones include both human and animal ones. They have all been weathered and decayed, and the bones are slightly black.

What is particularly strange is that the area around this place is extremely quiet, with no sounds of animals or birds.

"Wait, something's wrong."

Gu Yuan realized that something was wrong and became alert.

Especially after noticing a rusty long knife next to one of the corpses, a slight fishy smell, and the blackened bones, he had a guess and became more alert.

"Ah Huang, let's go!"

Gu Yuan's scalp tingled, and he was about to run away after saying goodbye.

However, to his surprise, Ah Huang did not react at all. When he turned his head, he found that Ah Huang was lying on the ground, trembling and curled up, as if he was frightened by something.

No matter how he called out, he turned a deaf ear.

"You're such a coward! I finally understand why there's the idiom 'as timid as a mouse'!"

Gu Yuan cursed inwardly, picked it up in his hand, and stepped back.

rustling --

However, just as Gu Yuan retreated a distance, he heard a subtle sound, as if something was rubbing against the ground.

He looked closely and found that the sound was made by a two-foot-long iron-blue centipede that was crawling out from under a corpse.

The giant centipede has a hard shell with a shiny metallic luster, its palatal teeth are as sharp as knives and have a faint blue color, and the two rows of sharp legs under its body are like sharp iron hooks, flashing cold light and leaving traces on the hard stone ground!

Wherever the giant centipede passed, the gray mist emitted from its body corroded the weeds, turning them yellow and black, making a sizzling sound.
