Chapter 625
Chapter 625
Seeing that the Thunder Tiger was killed by an outer disciple, the people in the convoy were relieved and continued to move forward. It took them half a day to reach the pool.
At this time, there were no beasts drinking water in the pool. There were still birds chirping and frogs croaking.
Because they were worried that they would encounter ferocious beasts that occasionally came to drink water, the Pill Expanding Hall's convoy only stopped for a while and let the disciples who had no water in their water bags add some water before continuing to move forward.
After passing the pool, not far ahead was the orchid rainforest. Looking far ahead, they saw that the sky above the jungle was a low-pressure black cloud, while the grassland next to it was unusually clear.
Zhang Xiaohua, who had been cultivating for a while, stood on the carriage and looked at all of this with interest.
Everything in the world, including wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, were all within the Heavenly Dao. Paying attention to all changes in daily life would be helpful to the understanding of the Heavenly Dao.
"I just don't know if the climate change in this rainforest is the effect of the array or the difference in the weather here." Zhang Xiaohua couldn't guess.
When the convoy reached the front of the jungle, the dark clouds in the sky had disappeared without a trace. The leader, Senior Brother Chen, also let out a long sigh and raised his hand. "Junior Brothers, we finally got out of the Orchid Prairie. Our journey is nearly half done. Moreover, here, the blood wolves, thunder tigers, and other ferocious beasts will not chase after us. You can rest at ease. When we enter the orchid rainforest, we still have to be careful."
All the disciples agreed and stopped the carriage to take a rest.
Zhang Xiaohua, who loved to learn and ask questions, leaned in front of Lu Chaoxian and asked, "Senior Brother, this rainforest won't be the same as the jungle in the valley, right?
Also, there aren't any dangerous beasts, right? "
Lu Chaoxian drank two mouthfuls of water and said with a smile, "The jungle in the valley is the gateway to the Orchid Prairie. Naturally, it's very dangerous. This jungle is just an ordinary forest. Of course, it's not the same. It's just that the climate here is a bit strange."
Zhang Xiaohua listened and smiled without saying a word. He didn't believe that there was nothing strange about this jungle. How could there be dark clouds covering the sky for no reason and only this rainforest?
However, his divine sense wasn't very good at the moment. Just relying on probing within a radius of ten zhang was tantamount to peeking at a leopard through a tube. He couldn't fully grasp the situation.
"As for the ferocious beasts, Junior Brother Ren, in this Youlan Grand Canyon, there are ferocious beasts everywhere. With martial arts like yours and mine, we would be oppressed wherever we go. However, the path that we are on now is paved by the blood and sweat of our ancestors.
Oh right, you didn't bring any antidotes with you when you came, right? See, I knew you didn't prepare any. Hehe, it's okay, I have some here. If you get bitten by a poisonous snake later, use mine. I've made ample preparations. "Lin Fan was stunned. He was stunned for a moment before he said," That's right.
Zhang Xiaohua was speechless. She didn't expect Lu Chaoxian to be so talkative. Sentence after sentence, he didn't allow her to speak at all. Well, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't understand. Lu Chaoxian was still wondering if he could reach the rainforest last night. Now that the Thunder Tiger had been killed and they had reached the rainforest safely, the stone in his heart was lifted. How could he not feel that the world was so beautiful?
It was normal for him to talk a little more.
However, although Lu Chaoxian spoke a lot, none of it was what Zhang Xiaohua wanted to hear. Until the carriage was about to set off, Zhang Xiaohua didn't know what other ferocious beasts there were in this rainforest other than poisonous snakes.
Looking at Lu Chaoxian's arrogant appearance as he held the whip and drove the carriage, Zhang Xiaohua stood behind with a smile and slightly shook her head. In the face of life and death, it was very difficult to calculate gains and losses. If one didn't have some self-cultivation, it would be very difficult to understand.
The orchid rainforest was very different from the forests Zhang Xiaohua had seen before. The trees in this rainforest were very thick and very tall. Moreover, they were all very straight. The crooked trees that were commonly seen in Guozhuang House couldn't be seen here at all. The ground was a little slippery. If the carriage wasn't slippery, even the horses pulling the carriage would often slip and fall. Perhaps it was because of the perennial rain, all kinds of colorful fungi and mushrooms grew in clusters. On the contrary, there were fewer weeds and it was far less luxuriant than the grassland.
The forest was also filled with the constant chirping of birds. It was just that the ancient trees were dense and it was unknown where they were hiding. Occasionally, a rustling sound could be heard from the treetops above their heads. When they looked up, only the swaying of the branches could be seen. That eye-catching animal was nowhere to be seen.
However, Zhang Xiaohua could see clearly. In her spiritual sense, there was a proud squirrel jumping between the branches. From time to time, it would lower its head to look at the unfamiliar carriages that had entered the rainforest.
After entering the forest for an hour, there weren't any abnormalities. Occasionally, the horses pulling the carriages would slip and fall. This made many of the nervous disciples feel a lot more relaxed.
Zhang Xiaohua didn't retract her spiritual sense and only covered the surroundings. She couldn't help but mutter to herself, "It's very ordinary. There doesn't seem to be anything to be afraid of."
Just as she was thinking, she felt her heart tighten as if something was about to happen. However, there was nothing unusual in her spiritual sense.
Thus, Zhang Xiaohua whispered, "Senior Lu, be careful. There is something strange in this forest."
When Lu Chaoxian heard this, his face tensed up. Just as he was about to raise his head to look, he heard the neighing of a horse in front of him.
Lu Chaoxian immediately pulled on the reins.
In the middle of the carriages, a deep hole that was four to five feet wide suddenly appeared on the ground. The horses were caught off guard and immediately fell into the hole. The horses had been trained in the Pill Expansion Hall for a long time. Just as they were about to use their hind legs to pull themselves out of the hole, a long and flat mouth appeared in the hole and bit the horse's neck. The horse neighed again and kicked its four hooves a few times before it was pulled into the deep hole by a huge force. At this moment, the disciple driving the carriage had just gotten up from the ground. He had just released the reins in his hands, but the disciple in the carriage was still in a daze from the impact. He didn't even have time to react. Fortunately, the outer court disciple beside him had quick reflexes. He waved the sword in his hand and cut the ropes around the horse's body. Seeing the majestic horse being dragged into the deep hole, the crowd couldn't help but sweat on their foreheads.
This … what if someone was dragged in?
"Quick, quick, move the things in this carriage to the other carriages."
The disciple in charge of the Pill Expansion Hall hurried over. When he saw the dark and unfathomable hole, he didn't say anything and hurriedly urged the disciples to move the things in the carriages.
Staying by the side of this black hole, anyone would be afraid. Several disciples nimbly finished cleaning up, and drove the carriage to the side. When Zhang Xiaohua walked past the deep hole, he used his divine sense to take a look. It turned out to be a deep and long tunnel, and he did not know where the horse that fell into the hole was dragged to.
However, when she saw that Lu Chaoxian's face wasn't as shocked as she had imagined, she asked, "Senior Lu, what kind of beast is this?"
"I can't say it's a beast. It's just a carnivorous beast that lives underground."
"Carnivorous beast?" Zhang Xiaohua frowned, "What kind of beast is that?"
Lu Chaoxian smiled, "It's similar to the crocodiles in the river, but much smaller. Its head is pointed at the front and its mouth is big. It can drill holes in the ground. When wild beasts walk past the holes, it will drag them into the ground and eat them when they are not paying attention."
Seeing that Lu Chaoxian actually smiled, Zhang Xiaohua asked curiously, "This carnivorous beast is so dangerous. Senior Brother, you don't seem to be afraid of it. Why are you smiling?"
"Although carnivorous beasts are dangerous, they don't eat much. The horse that was dragged down just now is enough for them to eat. They probably won't harass us again. We can only be more careful when we go back."
"Oh ~ I see." Zhang Xiaohua nodded.
However, before he could raise his head, the corner of his eye twitched. He straightened his body from the horse carriage and took out the Jade Water Sword without hesitation, waving it in front of him.
Just as Zhang Xiaohua's body flew up, a colorful poisonous snake scuttled under his feet and flew into the bushes on the other side, disappearing in an instant. Zhang Xiaohua's Jade Water Sword was pointed at a poisonous snake that was pouncing towards Lu Chaoxian.
That poisonous snake was like lightning, but Zhang Xiaohua's Jade Water Sword was not slow either. Before it could get close to Lu Chaoxian, Zhang Xiaohua's sword pierced through the snake's head. The poisonous snake's body curled around the Jade Water Sword and then opened up, revealing a colorful rope.
Lu Chaoxian heard the commotion behind him and turned around. Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua was still in the air, he smiled, "Junior Brother Ren, you have good qinggong."
However, when his gaze landed on the poisonous snake on the Jade Water Sword, he turned pale with fright and cried out, "Five Colored Snake?"
Then he shouted, "Brothers, be careful, there's a Five Colored Snake!"
Before he finished speaking, someone cried out, "Aiyo, why didn't you say so earlier."
Someone had been bitten by a snake.
Zhang Xiaohua returned to the horse carriage and looked ahead. It was one of the disciples who had "united" around him.
Lu Chaoxian smiled, "Didn't I just see it too? Logically speaking, we should only encounter it after two hours. Who knew that it would be so early?
Quickly take the antidote, be careful of the snake's poison attacking your heart. "
As he spoke, he chuckled and took out a small bag from his chest. Opening it, he took out a handful of spicy things and rubbed them on his body. Then he handed the rest to Zhang Xiaohua, saying, "Many thanks to Junior Brother Ren for your help just now. This Five Colored Snake's poison is very powerful. Although we have antidotes, being bitten is still very painful.
This is realgar, which poisonous snakes are most afraid of. As long as you rub it on your body, you won't be afraid of them. "
"Really?
How is it powerful? "
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua took the rest of the realgar and sniffed it. A pungent spicy smell wafted over. Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly took the realgar far away and handed it to Lu Chaoxian, saying, "Thank you, Senior Brother Lu. However, this … really doesn't smell good. It will damage my heroic image. You should keep it, I don't need it."
Lu Chaoxian advised, "Even if it doesn't smell good, it's better than eating pain. I think you should apply some."
Zhang Xiaohua still shook his head, but at this moment, he saw a disciple run over and hurriedly said, "Senior Brother Lu, Junior Brother Ren, quickly go and take a look. Senior Brother Wang might not be able to make it."
