As if a plant had found the most suitable soil for itself, Yue Shaoqun plunged into the valley in ecstasy. While inhaling the poisonous gas, he searched for Tang Tang and picked some Heaven and Earth treasures along the way.
Yue Shaoqun had never been particular about cleaning or decocting the medicinal herbs. Basically, he stuffed all the spirit herbs into his mouth as soon as he picked them, and when he felt full, he would concentrate on cultivating, transforming the medicinal power of the Heaven and Earth treasures into his own energy. Then, he would continue to pick herbs, immersing himself in this endless cycle.
At the same time, Xiao Chen and Hong Zhu, who had set out from Yao Xian County, finally arrived near the Dark Green Demonic Valley.
According to the clues provided by Elder Nangong and Elder Heaven Ancestor, the two found a large lake. Looking at the rippling, mirror-like surface of the lake, which faintly reflected the surrounding scenery, Xiao Chen couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded. Could this be the entrance to the Dark Green Demonic Valley? But no matter how he looked at it, it didn't seem like it!
"Husband Xiao Chen, is this the Dark Green Demonic Valley? It doesn't look dangerous! " Hong Zhu, who was standing to the side, also asked in a puzzled tone, "Do you think that Elder Nangong was fooling us? Although this lake is indeed very beautiful, I don't see anything special about it! "
When Hong Zhu heard Elder Nangong describe the Dark Green Demonic Valley to be so terrifying, he had thought that this place should be an extremely dangerous and terrifying place, but now it seemed that the environment was quite enchanting!
"This may be the periphery of the demonic valley, so there is no danger yet. We have to find the entrance first and enter the valley!" Xiao Chen raised his head and looked around. There were indeed many towering mountains in the vicinity, but the entrances were all blocked by dense forests, and it was impossible to enter them by relying on human strength.
"But where is the entrance? There is clearly only a large lake! " Hong Zhu curled his lips and looked around. The surroundings were deserted and looked like a primeval forest.
"Perhaps the entrance is at the bottom of the lake. I'll dive down and take a look," Xiao Chen stared at the rippling surface of the lake and said to Hong Zhu, "You should carefully search this area. If you find anything strange, don't touch it. Wait for me to come up and take care of it."
"Okay, I'll definitely wait for my little brother Xiao Chen. You'd better hurry up, I'll be scared if I'm alone up there!" Hong Zhu beamed at Xiao Chen, not forgetting to tease him a little.
Xiao Chen scratched Hong Zhu's nose, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. After that, he took off his luggage and handed it over to her. After that, he jumped into the lake with a splash. First, he used his Yuan Qi to transform it into oxygen for breathing. After that, he opened his eyes, identified the direction of the lake, and swam straight to the bottom.
Hong Zhu followed his instructions and searched back and forth along the shore. She didn't dare to go too far, as she didn't know if some ferocious beast or cultivator expert would suddenly appear in this primeval forest and swallow her whole.
After all, there were many similar places where treasures were hidden in the inner martial world, and there were all kinds of creatures guarding them. The higher the quality of the treasure, the stronger the guardian creature would be.
After dual cultivating with Xiao Chen for a period of time, although Hong Zhu had already become an expert at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, there were still many things that she couldn't cope with. Therefore, as long as Xiao Chen wasn't around, she would be a little more cautious.
At this time, Xiao Chen had already dived to the bottom of the lake and released his divine sense to search the entire bottom of the lake. But to his disappointment, he didn't find anything at the bottom of the lake other than some strangely shaped fish swimming around and the craggy rocks that littered the ground.
Xiao Chen was a little unwilling to give up, so he continued to expand his divine sense to the bottom of the lake. But even after he had extended his divine sense to a depth of several dozen feet, he still didn't find anything.
"Elder Heaven Ancestor, what's going on? I came here according to the directions you and Elder Nangong gave me, but there's nothing here! " Xiao Chen was a little disappointed. He didn't expect that he would find nothing after running all the way here.
"No, I can sense that there's a weak energy surge at the bottom of the lake, which means that the Dark Green Demonic Valley should be nearby!" Elder Heaven Ancestor said in a deep voice, "It's just that after thousands of years, some changes have taken place here, so the terrain is a little different from when I first came here."
"Then what should we do?" As Xiao Chen asked Elder Tian, he did not forget to continue using his Divine Sense to scan the entire bottom of the lake. He wanted to see if there was anything else he had missed.
Elder Heaven Ancestor also looked around with the help of Xiao Chen's divine sense. After a while, he seemed to suddenly find something and reminded, "There's a stone at your feet, pick it up and take a look."
"A stone? Is that what you're talking about? " Xiao Chen looked down and saw that his feet were full of gravel, but there was a stone about the size of a fist at the side.
Xiao Chen bent down to pick up the stone and looked at it carefully. As expected, he found something strange. There were some strange patterns and lines carved on the stone, which looked familiar. Xiao Chen frowned and tried to recall where he had seen it, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
"I see." Elder Heaven Ancestor suddenly sighed, and his voice became a little heavy, "It seems that there really is no entrance to this place, because the entrance has been destroyed!"
"What do you mean?" Xiao Chen asked blankly, "Elder Heaven Ancestor, please explain to me! Even if I die, you should let me know why I die, right? "
"If I'm not wrong, this stone should belong to some kind of teleportation formation, and this formation is the entrance to the Dark Green Demonic Valley!" Elder Heaven Ancestor said word by word.
"You mean …" A thought suddenly flashed in Xiao Chen's mind, and he immediately looked up. Not far from the bottom of the lake, there were many small stones similar to this stone, scattered everywhere. They looked very ordinary, and there was nothing unusual about them.
"Yes, maybe because too much time has passed, and the plain turned into a lake, so the formation that was left here has also collapsed!" Elder Heaven Ancestor paused, then added, "Maybe someone didn't want others to find this entrance, so they deliberately destroyed the teleportation formation. In short, you can no longer enter the Dark Green Demonic Valley from here, so you'd better think of another way!"
"Alright … I guess that's the only way!" Xiao Chen shrugged helplessly, quickly swam back to the shore, and looked for Hong Zhu, who was still searching everywhere.
"Husband Xiao Chen, how is it? Did you find anything down there? " Hong Zhu came up to him with an expectant look. She had been looking around for a long time, but couldn't find anything, so she was feeling depressed.
