Chapter 27: Green Rock Mystic Water
On the east side of Greenyan Town there is a modest mountain.
At the base of the mountain is a wooded area with a large number of ponds of varying sizes.
At this hour, the sky is dark and the white moonlight shines on the quiet forest with an indescribable stillness.
Sa Sa Sa Sa!
Suddenly, light footsteps were heard and a figure appeared.
"After searching for half an hour, this is the largest pond, so this must be it."
Xiao Ming muttered as he looked at the huge circular pool of water that was calm and waveless, reflecting a silver moon in front of him.
After killing the two Green Poison Double Ghosts, it was true that he did not find the Green Rock Mystic Water in them.
He did not hurry after that and come directly to the east side of Greenyan Town, but went back to the inn and waited for half an hour before coming here after the sun went down.
He then spent another hour checking which pond was the largest as a way of finding out the cavity in the rock where the two Green Poison Double Ghosts ambushed people.
The result of this search was, of course, the pond in front of him.
It was deep in the forest and more than twice as big as the other ponds along the way, so there was nowhere to go wrong.
'There's plenty of moonlight tonight, but I'm afraid trying to rely on moonlight to explore this pond isn't powerful enough.'
Standing by the pond and gazing into the water of unknown depth, Xiao Ming reflected.
It was good that when he went on a trip, he naturally carried an illumination tool.
Xiao Ming stood at the edge of the pond, and with a flash of white light in his hand, a soft glow illuminated the space in a few meters in circumference, allowing Xiao Ming, who originally only relied on moonlight to explore the path, to have a clearer view of the surroundings.
The moonlight stone had a remarkable effect, and Xiao Ming could not help but nod with satisfaction, secretly saying that this moonlight stone was really useful.
After pushing the Dou Qi from his body and condensing it into an armor outside his body that did not hinder his movements, Xiao Ming made no further preparations after putting an antidote pill in his mouth.
He sat on the edge of the pond and tried to put his hand in it. The temperature of the water was cold and biting, very different from the hot springs he usually soaked in, which made Xiao Ming frown.
This temperature was a bit abnormal, but fortunately, it was within the tolerable range.
Xiao Ming thought so, and without further hesitation, he tried to put his legs into the water, then his lower body into the pool, then his whole body into the pool, leaving only his head exposed, and finally, his head disappeared from the water, diving into the pool without a sound.
The pool was really dark, with mud and sand mixed with water and grass, and relying on the moonlight stone in his hand, Xiao Ming could barely see more than two meters around him.
If he found nothing, he kept diving and repeated the process.
After diving downward for about five or six feet, Xiao Ming finally made a discovery.
A pitch-black hole the size of a person appeared in front of Xiao Ming's eyes.
'This must be it; I don't know how Green Poison Twin Ghosts found this strange place.' Xiao Ming muttered inwardly and reached out his hand as if to push away the darkness in front of him.
Waving his arms, he controlled his body to swim inside.
The corridor was steep and uneven, and after expending much effort, a flash of light finally appeared before Xiao Ming's eyes.
Looking at this bright light, Xiao Ming's heart rejoiced as he sped up, 'Finally, we are here'.
Paf!
The calm water surface shook with a loud sound, Xiao Ming jumped out of the water and stood firmly on the wet mud bank.
Because the two ambushers had already been killed by Xiao Ming, no one would attack him here, so Xiao Ming could take a good look at the surroundings.
Through a brief observation, Xiao Ming discovered that he was inside a huge rock cavity with a large number of stalactites on top, dripping water from time to time.
There were moonlight stones embedded in the surrounding walls, illuminating the entire cavern as if it were daytime, and it must have been the work of the two Green Poison Twin Ghosts.
The bottom of the cavern consisted of two parts, one being the water surface from which he had just emerged, and the other being the wet ground on which mud and sand had accumulated, with unknown shellfish shells inside the mud and sand, as well as some signs of a struggle.
In addition to this, there was a passage leading to nowhere directly in front of itself.
Seeing that there was nothing in this rocky cavity, Xiao Ming did not hesitate in the slightest, raised his head, and headed inside the passage.
When he headed inside, there were quite a few forks in the cavern.
However, luckily, there were moonlight stones along the way, so Xiao Ming hardly took any wrong paths.
After winding through the cave continuously, Xiao Ming suddenly felt the stench of corpses reach him.
This made Xiao Ming realize that he was almost there, so he quickened his pace and went around a corner, and a clear view opened up before him.
In front of him was a huge rock cavity several tens of meters high, covered with a green liquid, filled with swollen and inflamed corpses, with a kind of glowing flower growing on the corpses near the periphery.
In the center of the green liquid was a small area of about a meter square.
There grew a one-meter tall, green crystal-like monster cactus, which was flowing independently.
"Snort..."
Suddenly, the light surrounding the cactus flickered and a kind of green liquid mist shot out, pouncing on a certain corpse in the inner circle, which instantly received the impact in a large chunk of flesh and blood, and drops of green liquid mixed in the corpse's wound and melted into the green puddle.
'This is the Green Rock Mystic Water, isn't it? It's really extraordinary.'
Holding his breath so as not to breathe in the abundant corpse-like stench in the air, Xiao Ming inwardly marveled as he gazed at the strange wonder of heaven and earth.
'However, this Green Rock Mystic Water is obviously extremely corrosive, so why would the Green Poison Twin Ghosts cast their own corpses from their own poisonous arts practiced on these Green Rock Mystic Water that were diluted countless times?'
'Forget it, it has nothing to do with me, I just need to take the Green Rock Mystic Water'.
Thinking like this, Xiao Ming arrived at the edge of the green pond.
'Huh, just now I was just looking at the Green Rock Mystic Water, I almost didn't notice, this is... a corpse eggplant flower.'
The corpse eggplant flower was a medicinal herb that only appeared in dark and damp places with numerous cultivator corpses, with a bright red appearance and a flower fragrance that contained a severe poison, however, its flower juice had a very good restorative effect on the body.
There are nearly twenty of them here, a few thousand gold coins each.
That's tens of thousands of gold coins in total.
What an unexpected joy!
Xiao Ming bent down and was about to pick up the nearest dead eggplant flower to see if he had made a good judgment.
But then he noticed a colorful shadow approaching his face.
Boom!
Wham!
Xiao Ming dodged the seven-colored shadow's attack without any extra movement, simply cocking his head to the side.
The seven-colored shadow did not hit Xiao Ming, but instead of landing in the open space behind him as expected, it fluttered in the air with a buzzing sound emanating from its back.
