Lin Jie took off his invisibility cloak, and Cai Xiangu came over immediately. Seeing that there was no one around, she immediately put the purple-horned deer cub into Lin Jie's arms and said, "Thank you, Patriarch Lin, for your kindness. We will definitely be indebted to each other in the future."
Without saying anything more, she left in a hurry.
Lin Jie looked at the purple-horned deer in his arms. This was an unexpected surprise. When he helped Chen Dazhui and his wife, his original intention was just to prevent the Zhao family's evil plan from succeeding.
He was originally going to return to the mountain, but turned around and walked towards Changliu River.
If we talk about the person in the tribe who has the most talent in taming spirit beasts, it must be the fourth sister Lin Changli.
Arrived at Mount Raymond.
Lin Changli was so adoring holding the purple-horned deer cub that it seemed like he liked these spiritual beasts from the bottom of his heart. Lin Jie smiled and gave him a few instructions.
When turning back and heading down the mountain.
The mechanical voice came to my mind again:
"bite"
"You brought back a purple-horned deer cub for the tribe, and you received 20 contribution points."
Lin Jie was delighted. In this way, the family contribution points that had been emptied were increased to 20 again, which could be exchanged for ten pieces of information.
Immediately said:
"Exchange information"
Buzz!
A strong yellow light surged on the panel.
Then lines of text appeared:
[1: Fu Molan has mastered the skills of a first-level intermediate-grade talisman maker and can break through to a first-level upper-grade talisman maker at any time.]
[2: Liu Qiaofu from Baihe town went to Qingniu Mountain to chop wood. He did not return overnight. When his family went up the mountain to look for him the next day, they found that he had died of poisoning, presumably from a venomous snake bite.]
"Stop exchanging!"
Lin Jie's eyes fell on the second piece of information.
If I guessed correctly.
The place where Liu the Woodcutter got into trouble should be near the snake cave.
He immediately returned to the clan mountain and gave the red marrow rice he bought to his third brother Lin Changli. He also took more than a dozen first-level middle-grade talismans from Mo Lan. Seeing that he looked worried, Mo Lan hurriedly said,
"Master, I am now at the third level of Qi training, and I am proficient in wind blade technique and entanglement technique. If there is anything I can help with, please let me know."
Born and raised in a brothel, Molan does not want to be a flower in a greenhouse. She feels that only by constantly enhancing her own strength can she establish herself in life, and all this naturally requires practical experience.
Lin Jie thought about his trip to the devil's cave ten years later.
He immediately said,
"Okay, come with me to Baihe Town."
"Yes, Patriarch."
Molan's whole appearance suddenly became brighter.
After coming down from Yunling Mountain.
The two arrived at the small town of Baihe. The mayor came to greet them from afar after hearing the news. However, Lin Jie did not exchange pleasantries with him. Instead, he asked directly,
"Where did you find Liu Qiaofu's body yesterday?"
Mention this matter.
Mayor Lin suddenly became alert and sighed:
"Chief, I was just thinking of finding time to report to you about Liu Qiaofu's death from poison. Since last month, not only Liu Qiaofu, but three or four other tribesmen who went up the mountain have died from the same poison as Liu Qiaofu. The wounds are obviously from poisonous snake bites. We sent snake catchers to search the mountain, but found no traces. So half a month ago, I ordered that no one was allowed to go up Qingniu Mountain. But Liu Qiaofu secretly went up the mountain by himself. Alas, he died young."
That being said.
The Snake Cave really exists.
He went to see the body of Liu Qiaofu, which had not yet been buried, and saw that the bite marks on his neck were very similar to those of a silver-spotted venomous snake. After asking for the specific address of the death, he asked the mayor to take him to Qingniu Mountain.
It is said that Qingniu Mountain was formed from a divine bull that fell to the ground in ancient times, and the outline of the mountain is also very similar.
Reached the Qiuyang tree halfway up the mountain.
The mayor pointed to an old tree and said,
"Chief, when we found Woodcutter Liu, he was leaning against this old tree."
Lin Jie checked and found that there was nothing unusual about the old tree, and there was no sign of silver-spotted poisonous snakes hidden inside. He also asked about the location of the other tribesmen who had died in Qingniu Mountain.
What's strange is.
They all died leaning against this old tree:
"Is there something strange about this old tree?"
Lin Jie asked the mayor to go down the mountain first.
at this time.
A strong wind blew in the forest.
The leaves around were rustling.
But the leaves of the old tree in front of him didn't sway at all, just like they were half an hour ago when he came up:
"I see!"
This old tree is just a decoy.
Lin Jie took a few steps back, then suddenly slammed into the old tree. The pain he imagined from hitting the wall did not come, but instead a feeling of weightlessness. He looked down and found himself falling into a valley.
He waved his sleeves quickly.
He grabbed a green vine and swung down.
When landing.
I found that Molan had also followed in.
Mo Lan looked at the situation in the valley and was stunned:
"Master, you really have a sharp eye. You can actually see the entrance to this valley."
In the valley.
The aura is compelling.
It is only slightly inferior to their clan's Yunling Mountain.
But.
The valley was gray and bare.
Normally, in a place with lush spiritual energy, not to mention spiritual herbs everywhere, at least the vegetation would be much more luxuriant. Lin Jie looked down at his feet and saw wisps of gray gas emanating from the soil underground:
"Is this miasma?!"
Lin Jie was shocked.
They didn't have the antidote, but they couldn't find a way out for the time being:
"Oops!"
Lin Jie looked around and when he and Molan were looking for an exit, the little green snake hidden in his sleeve suddenly made a hissing sound.
A flash of green light.
It jumped out from the sleeve and stood upright. Only then did Lin Jie discover that the broken tail of the little green snake seemed to have grown a lot longer, obviously because it had devoured the corpses of Zhao Changfeng and the green wolf demon.
"Hiss~"
The little green snake held its head high.
The snake's tongue moves in and out.
However, the miasma under the ground seemed to be summoned and quickly gathered towards it, penetrating into every part of its body from all directions.
Lin Jie retreated again and again.
In a flash.
A strange phenomenon occurred throughout the valley.
But the little green snake turned into a small gray vortex, which swept up the miasma coming out of the soil and lasted for about an hour.
When there is no more gray miasma rising from the soil,
The little green snake then retracted its tongue reluctantly, and with a flash of green light, it retracted into Lin Jie's sleeve again.
Molan, who was standing by, looked on with envy:
"Master, your pet is really amazing!"
Of course.
Xiaoqing has the blood of a dragon.
Lin Jie felt a sense of pride like an old father.
Without the miasma, the land turned black again.
The valley that was originally obscured by miasma came into view, but on the southwest side of the valley, there was a small cave. Listening carefully, there was the sound of flowing water coming from the cave.
Lin Jie changed his mind.
Then I understood.
If I am not mistaken, the silver-spotted viper is hiding in this cave. As the heavy rain came, the water in the cave overflowed and appeared in the town along the underground river, which caused the snake disaster.
