Chapter 459: Getting rich, digging up a lot of good medicinal herbs
She took out another one and gave it to Xuanfeng, who then went back to his room with a smile on his face. Before entering the room, he gave the bag of silver to Yao Qingnian.
The next day, after breakfast, they prepared and headed for the mountain. When they arrived at the entrance of the canyon, they met another group of people who had gone to the mountain before them, probably also for the ghost flower.
According to the map given by Shen Nianran, there are many roads leading to the canyon, and no matter which road you take, you must first pass through the area with miasma. Although this is when the miasma is the weakest, it does not mean that it does not exist.
After walking for about an hour from the entrance, they arrived at the area with miasma. Yao Qingnian's eyes lit up: "It seems that we are lucky today! The miasma is very weak."
"Yes, but don't be careless." Zi Ye Xiu reminded.
Yao Qingnian ignored him. This guy wanted to snatch everything from Tornado. He had to stay away from him, otherwise he might drag him down with him if he got into danger.
There was a little fog ahead, but it didn't affect the entry into the mountain. Today, we were lucky. If the miasma was everywhere, we couldn't see clearly and would get lost within a few minutes. But Yao Qingnian was still not careless and focused. Zi Yexiu walked in the front. After taking the detoxification pill, everyone followed closely behind him, moving forward cautiously and quickly. It was much smoother than expected. Yao Qingnian took advantage of the thin fog to find red cloth strips from the space to mark along the way, so that it would be much easier to go back. They quickly passed the miasma forest and continued to move forward.
Suddenly, there were screams and sounds of fighting coming from the front. Yao Qingnian and others became alert and slowed down their pace.
"Be careful, there are creatures that eat people ahead." Zi Ye Xiu asked everyone to stand still, found a place to hide, and observed the situation ahead. He saw that group of people were waving their swords and cutting down huge flowers. Isn't this the carnivorous plant?
The Piranha Plant is a plant full of mystery and horror. It has huge and gorgeous flowers with colorful petals that are bright and eye-catching. However, deadly danger is hidden beneath this charming appearance.
Yao Qingnian had encountered this plant when he was crossing a rainforest on a mission abroad. The flower of the Piranha Plant can reach several meters in diameter, and its huge mouth is like a greedy mouth, waiting for its prey to approach.
The inside of the flower is full of sticky juice and sharp barbs. Once a creature accidentally falls into it, it is difficult to escape. It also emits a strange fragrance, attracting curious animals to approach. When prey approaches, it will close its petals at a very fast speed, tightly wrap the prey inside, and then slowly digest it.
After a long while, the group of people stopped exhausted and continued on their way. After the people in front of them dealt with the carnivorous plant, Yao Qingnian and his group took advantage and passed by easily.
After passing the forest of carnivorous plants, Yao Qingnian decided not to follow the group of people anymore. She chose to go in from another road. This road was about an hour faster, but much more dangerous. However, she felt that the most dangerous place was often the safest. Zi Yexiu agreed, so they walked towards the same road.
They had a smooth journey. Apart from some snakes and insects, they did not encounter any giant beasts. As they walked, Zi Ye Xiu suddenly stopped, squatted down to observe the ground, picked up a stone and threw it over. Soon, the stone disappeared: "This is a swamp. Through this swamp, we can quickly reach the canyon on the opposite side, but how to get through is a problem."
"I have a way, just watch me."
After observing the surroundings, Yao Qingnian spotted a large tree on the opposite side, took out a rope and a crossbow from the space, accurately fixed the rope there, built a simple cableway, and headed to the opposite side first. After confirming that it was safe, she waved at them, indicating that it was okay and they could come over. Shan Wei and the others followed her example and passed smoothly.
Looking at the canyon not far away, Yao Qingnian retracted the rope, put it into the space while they were not paying attention, and then continued to move towards the canyon.
Soon, they entered the canyon. The canyon had high cliffs on both sides and was surrounded by clouds and mist, giving people a mysterious and dangerous feeling. A cool breeze blew by, and everyone couldn't help but shiver.
When they arrived, it was still early, around four o'clock in the afternoon, and they had safely arrived at the canyon. As expected, the most dangerous place is the safest.
The ghost flower will only bloom late at night. Taking advantage of these few hours, Yao Qingnian found an open space near the stream, took out the tent from the space and set it up. Everyone stopped to rest, eat something, and go look for the ghost flower at night.
After filling her stomach, Yao Qingnian got up and walked around. There were probably a lot of good things in such a place, and she couldn't miss it. She walked along the cliffs near their tent. After a while, she found a lot of rare medicinal materials, such as Polygonum multiflorum, Polygonatum sibiricum, Gastrodia elata, etc. She also dug up a ginseng that was quite old. She was so happy that she kept saying that she had made a fortune.
Zi Ye Xiu was watching her jumping around like a rabbit not far away, unable to take his eyes off her.
As he was walking, Yao Qingnian was suddenly attracted by a dazzling red on the stone wall not far away. After a closer look, his eyes lit up instantly. Isn't that the blood ganoderma? Although it is not as valuable as the blood jade ganoderma, it is still much better than ordinary ganoderma. It is rare to encounter it. The deep mountains in ancient times are indeed full of treasures.
She didn't care about so much, took out the tool from the space, and climbed up. She was so happy that she almost forgot that she was in a deep mountain canyon. Just when she was about to climb to the location of the blood Ganoderma lucidum, suddenly a huge poisonous snake with its tongue spitting out stuck its head out and attacked her. Yao Qingnian was totally unprepared for this scene and was shocked. Fortunately, there was a place to land not far away, and she dodged in time and flew over.
"Good fellow, a Cheng Yaojin shows up unexpectedly."
After she stood still, she took out a crossbow arrow from the space and shot it directly at the snake's head. Unexpectedly, the snake was quite smart. It retracted its head and she dodged it easily.
There was a small cave where the snake was, which should be the nest of the poisonous snake. It realized the danger and hid in the cave. Yao Qingnian looked around and immediately had an idea. She saw a position on the top of the stone wall that could accommodate her, so she climbed up quietly. While the snake was not paying attention, she jumped down and took the blood Ganoderma lucidum in her hand. Before the snake could react, the treasure it had been guarding for was taken away.
