Chapter 180 – The Oolong Pool
Grayish-black rotting ground, turbid puddles of water that kept bubbling, strange and twisted trees, unknown blood-red grasses underfoot, and the pungent and strange smell that permeated the air, all of this was the scene that Han Li felt when he first came to his senses.
Not bothering to ask questions about this strange environment, Han Li first swept a glance around vigilantly to see if there were others here, after all, the greatest source of danger was still from the disciples of his faction who had entered the forbidden land together.
It seems to be relatively lucky, the nearby dozens of feet in addition to Han Li himself and then no one else, he lightly out of a breath.
However, he did not relax his guard here, but rather, one hand clasped a talisman, and the other hand took out the set of “golden water-beetle sub-mother blades”, as a foolproof plan to use.
At this point, Han Li was able to calm down and carefully observe the oddities of the place he was in.
Han Li wasn’t surprised when he suddenly arrived at a strange place. Early on, before the trip to the forbidden land, those stewards had given them, the disciples, a detailed information about the forbidden land.
In the information, it was mentioned that anyone who stepped into the forbidden land would be transported instantly to all corners of the forbidden land by some kind of diversionary formation that was still in effect inside, and as for where exactly, it depended on each person’s luck.
There may be transmitted to the core of the zone, where, as soon as the emergence of a large amount of spiritual grass can be collected, this is a lucky guy; there may be a transmission, in front of a number of demonic beasts watching, not after a bloody battle, can not get out of it; as for the more unlucky guy, simply sent directly to a certain place of the Jedi, immediately on the death of a person, of course, this case appeared the least.
Appear most, or as Han Li so, teleported to the corner of the forbidden land, can only feel their way forward.
The reason why the above situation will occur, according to those seniors inferred, because they break the ban to come in the way, is not the correct way to enter, of course, will touch some small ban, and some accidents.
Han Li cautiously wandered around the neighborhood while comparing the information he remembered in his head with the nearby scenery, which finally allowed him to find very useful information, which was accumulated by the disciples who had come out of the forbidden land in the past, and which could be of great use to the newcomers nowadays.
”The Wulong Pool is located in the northeastern corner of the forbidden land, centered on a deep pool with an area of dozens of feet, more than a dozen miles in circumference, there are many grasses and trees such as rotting bone flowers and snake slithering trees, which can be used to make poisons, but they are not very valuable.”
”At the center of the Wulong Pool, by the water pool, some ‘Cold Tobacco’ will randomly appear every ten years or so, this is an extremely versatile kind of strange grass, if possible, you should still try to collect it, and it can be handed over to the Sect in exchange for certain rewards. However, it should be noted that in the depths of the water pool, there lurks a group of Grade 1 Lower Stage Demonic Beasts, the Cold Ice Toads, but they are docile in nature, so as long as they don’t take the initiative to mess with them, there won’t be any danger.”
After Han Li recalled the information several times, he had a number in his heart.
According to common sense, the closer to the center of the forbidden land, the more rare spirits and powerful guardian demonic beasts will appear, and the location where the Wulong Pool is located, slightly to the periphery of the lean a little bit, but also not in the outermost layer, if you catch up on the road, within a day or can be rushed to the center of the area.
Thinking of this, Han Li did not dare to imperial weapon, but jumped into the air on a large tree with dense foliage, looked around for a while after recognizing the direction, then jumped down from the tree again.
The waterhole was located to the south of Han Li, just on the way to the center of the forbidden land, so it seemed like he could take a look along the way.
Han Li cast an Anonymizing Technique on his body, and then got on the road with light footsteps, advancing cautiously along the way. I don’t know if Han Li was overly nervous, but after walking for several miles, there were no accidents, and it seemed that he was the only one in the entire Wulongtan area.
Only when he heard the sound of water flowing did Han Li relax his taut nerves a bit.
Separating a few curved branches in front of him, a deep turquoise water pool appeared, and before anyone could get close, a cold and chilly chill had already sent Han Li into a shiver.
This is the Oolong Pool? Han Li curiously surveyed.
The water pool area is not large, in a large area surrounded by serpentine trees, but the surface of the water is actually bubbling with silk of the naked eye can be seen on the cold air, and even at the edge of the pool place, there is also a layer of crystalline frost, visible Tan water ice cold degree.
Han Li did not care about these, what made him concerned was that in a certain low-lying place by the side of the pool, a dozen or so white fuzzy grasses had grown, this grass had a stem and five leaves, was white, and emitted a faint white gas that seemed to be shrouded by smoke, and really had the appearance of a few spiritual roots.
”That’s right, this is indeed the Cold Tobacco Grass, it’s not far off from what was described in the information!” Han Li muttered softly, with a few moments of dark joy in his heart.
Although this grass had nothing to do with his Foundation Establishment Pill, it was a good omen that he could get his hands on it so easily right off the bat.
Han Li habitually glanced to the left and right and was about to raise his leg to walk over, but suddenly his face changed slightly, his body bowed and gently retreated a few steps, once again hiding behind the branches and leaves, and then looked expressionlessly at the dense forest on his left.
Not long after, the silhouette flashed, a blue clothed person probed his head and walked out, from this attire, this person should be someone from Tian Que Fort. This person was extremely careful, taking one step and turning back three times, and also kept looking around. From the tightly clenched fists, it should be prepared to deal with an attack, and the direction of his actions was precisely those “cold tobacco”.
Han Li sighed, it seemed that he was going to return without success.
The other party was so cautious, it was by no means possible to succeed in a sneak attack, and he didn’t intend to have a face-to-face battle with this person, it was too uneconomical to take this risk for a few dispensable things!
”Come out! I see you, stop hiding!” Only a dozen steps away from the Cold Tobacco, the man in blue suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned around, and staggered.
Han Li was startled, thinking that he had accidentally revealed his horse’s footsteps and was seen by him. Immediately, however, he laughed bitterly, because although the blue-clothed man was yelling loudly enough, his eyes were darting around, not looking at Han Li’s hiding place at all, but rather, he was just using fraudulent language.
Han Li was angry and amused, and watched the man in blue yell for a while before he really felt relieved to go pick that “cold tobacco”. Blue-robed man this kind of smart approach, but make Han Li hesitated, considering whether to take advantage of the other side when careless, from the back to give it a hit.
Idea has not been determined, the blue man but the action is extremely fast a succession of picking down three or four white grass, it seems that this person is also well aware of the reasoning of the night is long, the blink of an eye will be this grass a sweeping empty.
Han Li secretly shook his head, or decided to retreat, his main goal is still the three main medicines of the Foundation Establishment Dan, before that, try to maintain the strength of the best practice!
Thinking of this, Han Li quietly drew himself away, and when he withdrew a dozen feet away, only then did he feel relieved that he intended to rush up, lest that person follow him up again after picking the medicine.
But his figure had not yet unfolded when a miserable scream came from over the waterhole, and by the sound of it, it was the dying voice of that blue-robed man.
Han Li winced smartly, and after hesitating for a moment, he clenched his teeth and quietly circled back, he wanted to find out what was going on, lest he too end up in the same situation.
When Han Li dived back to the vicinity of the water pool, there were already two more men with vicious faces by the side of the pool. Looking at their floral and green clothing, they should be people from Spirit Beast Mountain.
At this moment, they were gleefully rummaging through the storage bags of the Heavenly Que Fort disciples, with a dozen or so large blue toads lying around them. As for the blue-clothed man, there were more than a dozen large holes all over his body, and he was already dead beyond death.
”Senior brother Yu, this idea is too good, as soon as we found this stupid thing, we didn’t directly lay our hands on it, but we rushed to the Oolong Pool ahead of time, and slightly sprinkled some Beast Repellent Powder into the water, so that we can temporarily control this nest of Cold Ice Toads. Hey hey! Then managed to distract his attention, and then with the power of the demonic beasts, from the back to this kid to a large pile of ice cone art, a moment to kill him. I’m afraid that this person did not expect to die, will hang in the hands of a group of low-ranking demonic beasts. However, this guy is still rich in value! Senior brother, why don’t we just follow the prescription and still stay potentially here, waiting for the others to take the bait well, these cold tobaccos are the bait!” One of the younger men, viciously kicked the corpse of the Tian Que Fort disciple and said with some greed.
