Chapter 319
Su Xianyun and Yu Xi followed other vines separately, and finally found that no matter whether these ancient giant vines were buried in the rocks or winding on the rock walls, their roots were tightly gathered in one place.
The gathering place is a crowded and narrow stone road with heavy moisture. You can feel the dampness coming towards you just by getting close.
The roots of huge vines grew up from the mud under the stone path, making the already difficult-to-step area even more crowded.
Yu Xi stretched her neck and looked inside. The stone path was almost blocked by vines. Even she couldn't get into the gap, let alone her brother and others.
After pulling her head out of the ancient road, she shook her ears. Both ears were soaked with water vapor, and the snow-white fur was tangled together wetly. The shake also shook out water droplets.
"Senior Sister, wipe it quickly. It's cold here. Be careful not to catch a cold."
Gu An took out a thick velvet handkerchief embroidered with various patterns from somewhere and started to wipe Yu Xi's ears and hair.
Zhong Xian has disliked Gu An for a long time and wanted to snatch the handkerchief from Gu An's hand and wipe Xiao Xier himself.
Unfortunately, he didn't have the chance to grab it. It wasn't because he was too proud, but before he reached out to grab it, the stupid Ji Zhi stuck his head into the gap and couldn't pull it out.
Jizhi thought that his sister couldn't get in, so as a brother he must help his sister get in. A brother is supposed to do things that his sister can't do!
Then as expected, the card was inside.
Zhong Xian took a long breath, trying hard not to lose his handsome image, and pulled Ji Zhi out by the collar.
He originally wanted to pull Jizhi's hair, but he was afraid that if he pulled it out bald, Jizhi would cry and complain to Xiao Xier, so he finally did what he wanted and only pulled his collar.
Seeing Jizhi in such a mess, Yu Xi chuckled unkindly, causing the hair on his tail to tremble. While laughing, he did not forget to help pull the bell string out.
Fortunately, it was Jizhi who was laughed at. If it was Su Xianyun, he would be so embarrassed.
Su Xianyun touched Yu Xi's hair and saw that it was almost dry by Gu An, then he looked around.
Apart from a stone path, there is indeed no trace of human life here.
The stone path does not look like it was carved out by humans. Judging from the exposed traces, it is most likely formed naturally.
The ancient giant vines have become extinct in the eyes of outsiders because it is not easy to grow them, not to mention that these vines have grown to such a huge size that they must have been grown for hundreds of years.
There are many plants in the valley, but only here are there ancient giant vines. If this is not where Jizhi lived, or if it was here before but not now, then all the clues are basically lost.
They could only find a way to enter Yaoling Valley and look for the location of the medicine man in Yaoling Valley.
Thinking of this, he quickly said: "Zhong Xian, Gu An is right."
There is no sign of human life here for at least a hundred years.
Zhong Xian heard this and tilted his eyes slightly, glancing at the scattered and protruding stones in the mud beside the stone path:
"A few pieces of the moss were rubbed off there."
Everyone looked sideways and saw that the moss on the top of the stones had been rubbed off a little. It was impossible to see it among the thick green shade of the trees without looking carefully, but it barely looked like the traces of someone passing by.
"But there's no road ahead." Gu An took two steps forward along the stone. The vines in front of him blocked the road tightly. He released his magic energy to explore, but the road ahead was also solid. There was no empty road.
"These marks could have been left by an animal. Judging by its size, its foot was only about an inch in size."
As he spoke, Gu An squatted down and measured it to make sure that it did not look like the traces left by human feet.
Zhong Xian nodded: "Then we can only capture a cultivator from the Xuanxing Sect and let them lead the way."
Yaoling Valley is considered to be an immortal gate with a relatively long history. The entrance is very hidden and full of formations. The valley outside is full of plants that hinder them. It will probably take a long time to find the entrance.
As he spoke, Yu Xi clenched his teeth, hugged Jizhi's legs and exerted force, and finally cooperated with Zhong Xian to pull Jizhi out.
Jizhi was not idle when he was stuck inside. He banged his head and hands around and managed to create a circle of dents inside the gap that even Yu Xi couldn't get through. He could barely see a faint light coming through the other side of the gap.
After Ji Zhi came out, he realized that he had done something stupid again. He quickly straightened his clothes and then turned around in circles to show Yu Xi that he was not injured.
He was injured when he was dealing with the demon god puppet before, which made his sister worry for a long time. Now he dare not get injured again.
Yu Xi saw him squatting in front of her, his eyes clear and stupid. She pinched his nose helplessly, and her gaze fell on the gap where Ji Zhi came out:
"Is there a road ahead?"
Shouldn't that be the case? They'd already used their magic energy to explore, and the area ahead was completely solid. From the outside, the roots of the ancient giant vine stretched across the entire field of vision, so light shouldn't be able to penetrate.
And there was no sense of any hidden formation nearby.
Yu Xi looked at Zhong Xian thoughtfully, and they quickly spoke at the same time in tacit understanding:
"Smash it and see?"
Zhong Xian smiled with his eyes curved, raised his hand and covered the vines that were blocking his way. He saw that Gu An had very foresightedly stepped back several steps to avoid being affected by Zhong Xian's attack that did not distinguish between friend and foe.
Su Xianyun also covered his ears, and used the magic thread to spread a large net in front of Yu Xi to prevent the vines from exploding and dirtying his sister.
As a dark cloud of gas dispersed and gathered in his palm, the vines that seemed several meters high in front of him exploded instantly, clearing out a huge, deep tunnel-like hole between the roots of the vines.
However, there was no road ahead, and all that could be seen was the inside of the shattered vines.
At the same time, all the ancient giant vines were alarmed. The originally light rustling sounds around them became louder and louder, the ground began to shake, and all the vines began to gather towards their position angrily, wanting to crush these guys who were destroying the roots.
When Ji Zhi saw that something was wrong, he picked up Yu Xi and was about to run away. At the same time, Zhong Xian summoned the spirit boat, ready to take everyone away immediately.
Who would have thought that at this moment, Yu Xi suddenly shouted:
"Can't leave!"
Seeing everyone looking at her, she grabbed Jizhi's hair and hurriedly said to the place where the bell had just been destroyed:
"where to!"
At this time, the vines were almost surrounding them, and if they didn't leave now, they would be unable to escape.
However, everyone listened to Yu Xi without hesitation and rushed in the direction Yu Xi pointed.
Needless to say, Jizhi, as soon as he heard that his sister wanted to go deep into the vines, he ran there without saying a word and was extremely obedient.
When Gu An heard the unusual movements around him, he ran to Yu Xi's side without knowing when, and had caught up with Yu Xi early on.
Zhong Xian put away the spirit boat, and together with Su Xianyun, they blocked the vines that were attacking fiercely, and caught up with Yu Xi a little slower.
Just as they rushed into the vines that had just been destroyed, they felt a sense of weightlessness under their feet, the formation was activated, and the scene in front of them changed instantly.
