Chapter 302 Searching for the Dragon Spirit Flower
Chapter 302 Searching for the Dragon Spirit Flower
They first carried the bodies back to their place of rest, and then looked into the cause of death of their brothers.
The skin of the corpse was gray and black, especially the neck, where there was a deep mark, as if the person had been strangled to death!
No! He was strangled to death by a ghost!
Seeing this, they couldn't help but shudder, and fear spread in their hearts.
Others came over to check out the situation out of curiosity, but when they saw this, they subconsciously swallowed their saliva, then backed away, not even daring to get close to the corpse.
Now, they couldn't even keep the corpse. Fearing something strange might happen, they quickly carried the corpse to a distant forest and threw it away.
After all, it had just rained, so it was impossible to burn it, and digging a hole to bury it was too much trouble, so it could only be thrown into the woods to be eaten by wild animals.
However, the death looked strange, and they didn't know whether the wild beasts would eat it or not?
But there is no time to worry about that now. They can only throw it away and leave the damn place as soon as tomorrow morning!
However, before throwing it away, they took some valuables from the body.
That night, the group of people had different thoughts and behaved much more calmly, not making as much noise as before.
Although some people carry talismans and objects to ward off evil spirits and are not too afraid of being visited by ghosts, it is better to have less trouble than more.
Compared to this group of people who did not sleep well, Si He and Ning Ji rested quite well. After the previous incident, no one dared to attack them for the time being, not to mention that Mo Mo was guarding them.
After a night passed and when it was daybreak, many people left one after another, not daring to stay for long.
Today is another cloudy day.
When Ning Ji and Si He got up, everyone nearby had left, and it was quiet.
In the morning, the two of them simply ate some dry food and prepared to take a walk in the nearby mountains and forests to look for the whereabouts of the Dragon Spirit Flower.
Before setting off, Si He changed into a narrow-sleeved cloth dress and a pair of convenient cloth shoes, making her look neat and tidy, which made it easier to walk in the mountains and forests. Ning Ji also changed into a pair of clean boots, and took the dirty and wet shoes from last night to the stream to wash them.
After packing up, the two of them headed towards the forest. As for the things in the cave, Ning Ji opened the bronze tripod a little. With the ghosts inside guarding it and the Yin-Gathering Stone as a deterrent, ordinary people could not get in.
The two of them walked towards a secluded place, with Mo Mo following closely behind.
Occasionally they encountered some small animals along the way, and sometimes even ferocious wild beasts. Ning Ji and Si He did not kill them again. They avoided them whenever possible and occasionally used their lightness skills to leap over them. Mo Mo once again wrapped himself around Si He's arm, but they did not encounter any danger.
It was not until noon that Ning Ji hunted a rabbit and roasted it for food.
Si He went to the woods nearby and picked some edible wild fruits. After washing them, she sat next to Ning Ji and watched him grill the meat.
"Husband, try one." She took a small red fruit and put it to his mouth.
He opened his mouth and ate the fruit she fed him. With a light bite, the sweet taste spread in his mouth. He smiled lightly, "It's very sweet."
"Of course, because I picked it." She raised her chin slightly, her eyes slightly curved, and looked a little proud, which was very cute.
Ning Ji looked at her with doting in his eyes.
Si He also took one and put it in her mouth. It tasted very good, juicy and sweet.
Ning Ji withdrew his gaze and continued to grill the meat. She ate the fruit while watching him grill the meat and occasionally fed him one.
The autumn breeze is gentle, cool and comfortable. If it weren't for the search for Dragon Spirit Flowers, this kind of day would be pretty good.
The two of them searched diligently for the entire morning but still found nothing. She lowered her eyes, hiding the disappointment in them.
The meat was roasted quickly, and it was fragrant, steaming hot, and the smell was tempting.
After it had dried for a while, Ning Ji tore off a small piece of meat, blew on it to warm it up, and then handed it to her mouth and fed her.
Si He opened her mouth and took a bite. The rabbit meat was roasted just right, fragrant on the outside and tender on the inside. The seasoning was also just right, especially fragrant. Just one bite made her mouth water.
"Delicious." She said to him with a smile.
Ning Ji's mouth corners also curled up. Every time he saw her eating happily, he was also very satisfied.
The food was delicious, but Si He was focused on eating right now. She had also eaten some fruit before, so after eating some barbecue, she stopped eating. "Husband, I'm full and don't want to eat anymore."
Seeing that she ate so little, only half of her usual amount, Ning Ji couldn't help but pursed his lips. He looked at her face and thought that she might have eaten too much fruit before, so he didn't force her. "Then tell me when you're hungry. There's still some barbecue left, so you can eat it later."
She smiled sweetly and said, "Okay."
Ning Ji smiled and started eating.
After Ning Ji had eaten and rested for a while, the two continued to travel through the deep forest, looking for dragon spirit flowers, especially some valleys or caves that looked a little damp but could still see some light, and they would explore them.
An entire afternoon passed like this, and just like the morning, nothing was gained.
However, this is only the first day, and the Tianshan Mountains are so vast, so we can just continue searching tomorrow.
As it was getting close to dusk, the two of them started walking back. They were going much faster. They didn't need to walk back step by step. They both used light skills to quickly leap through the forest.
This time, Mo Mo was no longer wrapped around Si He's arm, but was replaced by Ning Ji. The main reason was that he felt that Mo Mo was too heavy and that it would add burden to Si He, so he took it over.
Mo Mo had no objection to this. She was very well-behaved and obedient, and she stayed in Ning Ji's hand without moving.
Back in the cave, everything was as usual, no one had been there.
The forest is peaceful except for the roars of wild animals at night.
On the second day, the two went to the mountains on the other side to search. During the period, they met some teams that were also looking for Dragon Spirit Flowers in the mountains. Everyone tacitly did not communicate with each other, kept a safe distance, and searched for their own things.
In addition to looking for expensive medicinal flowers, these people will also look for some more precious and valuable medicinal herbs in the mountains, or hunt some prey, peel off their fur, and sell them for money.
Si He saw that their bags were full of stuff, obviously they had a good harvest, but some of them had wounds on their faces or bodies, so harvest and danger coexisted.
Everyone moved away from each other as soon as they met, without disturbing each other. Si He and Ning Ji continued to search in some dark valleys. Judging from the place where the Dragon Spirit Flower had grown before, it was impossible for it to grow in the mountains and forests outside. After all, it took too long to grow, the growing conditions were too harsh, and it should be accompanied by a spirit beast, just like the giant snake before.
A day passed quickly, and the Dragon Spirit Flower was not found. However, some precious medicinal herbs were found, so it was not a complete failure.
Next, Ning Ji and Si He searched in the nearby mountains and forests for another five days. Apart from harvesting some medicinal herbs, they still did not find any trace of the Dragon Spirit Flower. So they packed up their things, left the area, and headed north.
