Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 116 0115: Earth's magnet; unscientific inner mountain phenomenon

It’s still early for my brothers and sisters to get married, but what my dad said does make sense.

The quality of a wife affects three generations of the family, so it cannot be treated casually.

Back in the kitchen, Cheng Zongyang handed the dishes to his aunt who was cleaning the kitchen. Then he went to the warehouse, sorted out some weapons and other things, put on his backpack, and prepared to go into the mountains again.

This time he planned to bring out ten pairs of chickens.

Same place, same position, after entering the wilderness world, first brush today's fish points, and add another 350 points.

When he was free, Cheng Zongyang looked at the task bar, which was still a task to collect wild animals. Ignore it.

Looking at the new items that appeared today, Cheng Zongyang's eyes suddenly focused on the second item.

"The remains of an orc tribe?" Cheng Zongyang's eyes were burning.

"So, this world is not a world without intelligent life?"

But the cabin did not respond and remained silent.

"Totem Valley, Death Valley." Cheng Zongyang quickly took a book from the counter and used a homemade charcoal pencil to write down the two places that appeared today.

Looking at the seven place names above, Cheng Zongyang is increasingly looking forward to the day when this world map will be completely unfolded in the future.

But now due to lack of money, it is impossible to expand the map.

We can only wait until the county town becomes stable in the future and do business then.

"But how do I use this magnet?" Cheng Zongyang began to ponder.

If you put it in your territory, not to mention affecting others, you will be the first to be affected.

But he didn't think much about it. It was rare to get something good, so he bought three items today.

Points -106.

On the counter, Cheng Zongyang placed ten kilograms of dragon fruit in the corner, piled together with other fruits.

Put the red heart fruit separately and study it slowly later.

As for the irregular, roughly sized ore, Cheng Zongyang took it and looked at it. He found that most of the outside was stone skin, and the exposed area was a colorful crystal stone, and there were not many exposed points.

He felt nothing in his hand.

Without further ado, he took the ore and left the hut.

Suddenly, a feeling of nausea surged from my abdomen, just like the feeling of motion sickness!

“Is the effect so fast?”

Cheng Zongyang looked at the thing in his hand and quickly handed it to Ma San: "Put it a hundred meters away from the territory."

But Ma San was not affected and did not react at all, which made Cheng Zongyang a little stunned.

When Ma San heard Cheng Zongyang's order, he immediately ran uphill.

As the distance increased to a hundred meters, Cheng Zongyang felt that the feeling of nausea and vomiting disappeared.

"Death Valley! No wonder it has such a name. I guess any creature that enters the valley will die in the valley." Cheng Zongyang murmured.

As Ma San came back, Cheng Zongyang asked, "You were holding that piece of ore, didn't you feel anything?"

Ma San was puzzled: "Sir, what do you mean?"

When Cheng Zongyang heard this, he knew that the geomagnetic stone could not affect Ma San, who was resurrected in a special way after his death.

"This thing has..." Cheng Zongyang told Ma San about the effect of the geomagnetic stone, and then reminded him: "Pay more attention to it in the future. See how to use it, not just for protection."

His initial thought was to use it at the inner mountain pass.

But if the whole family is not careful, they will be affected, unless a way to block this effect can be developed.

"Yes, sir, I will do some research on it." Ma San wrote down Cheng Zongyang's instructions.

"Okay, go ahead and do your work. I'm leaving too."

"Yes."

Ma San continued to work on his farmland. The farmland within the fence was not very large. Minus the housing for the pigs, chickens, and cows, there was basically only about one acre of land left.

However, after completing the reclamation of the original one acre of land, Ma San expanded the scope of the protective fence with special functions, and sandwiched some wooden guardrails for use, thus expanding the area to four or five acres.

Ma San has a strong execution ability, which makes him very satisfied and saves him a lot of trouble.

Therefore, he felt the need for a new helper more and more, and was waiting for good news from Li Lu.

With three more helpers, he can also make more plans.

After finishing today's business, Cheng Zongyang left the wilderness world. There was no rush to explore the wilderness world, and there was no rush.

He will be exploring the inner mountains for some time to come.

The dangers that Uchiyama can see come from ferocious beasts and strange animals, while those that are difficult to see are poisonous insects, venomous snakes, etc.

But many villagers who died in the inner mountains were almost all killed by poisonous snakes and insects. This is why everyone is afraid of the inner mountains.

His family members all carried bags of seven-herb powder, which they sprinkled around them to repel poisonous snakes and insects, so that they could live safely in the inner mountain pass without snakes, insects, rats or ants approaching.

Now that there are a few more warriors, we are not afraid to deal with wild beasts even if they approach, but the only thing we need to be careful about is the strange beasts.

He held a hatchet and a two-meter-long bamboo stick in his hands, and the rest were in the wilderness world.

Make a mark and explore further inside, preparing to understand the water source first.

After nearly two hours, he arrived at the original water source.

After clearing the dead leaves and water plants attached to the bamboo basket underwater, he continued to go in the direction where the wolves had left.

As we go deeper, the vines clinging to the towering trees around us seem to be whispering to the dense leaves, working together to weave dark green curtains for the vegetation life below.

The scorching sun was divided up by them, robbing the ground of light. Occasionally, a few rays of sunlight escaped through the gaps in the treetops, falling on the wet ground in a mottled manner, bringing some vitality to the life on the ground.

The moist air was filled with the scent of soil and rotten leaves. Cheng Zongyang, who was already soaked all over, walked slowly and heavily. He had to be careful to avoid the tangled roots and hidden mud pits with every step.

I have gained a lot along the way.

A lot of precious medicinal herbs that I knew of were collected, and more than a dozen wild game were captured using bows and arrows.

But there were so many trees that most of the deer, sheep, wolves and other animals that passed by ran away as soon as they heard the noise.

Living in this forest, any disturbance would scare them away. This also caused Cheng Zongyang to not kill any of them. After passing through a dense bush, a not-so-high waterfall came into view.

The water cascades down from the cliff, like a silver ribbon shining in the sun, splashing countless tiny water droplets and forming a thin layer of mist, making the surrounding air moist and fresh.

"Is this where the water comes from? But why is it so strange?" Cheng Zongyang looked at the waterfall not far away, very confused.

There has been a severe drought outside the mountain for two years, but the water resources inside the mountain are so abundant that anyone who sees it would find it unreasonable.

Cheng Zongyang also had a guess in his mind. Perhaps there was some special geographical environment in the mountains that led to the formation of two different world scenes, but the poor geographical knowledge in his memory could not find any evidence to explain it.

"If science can't explain it, then let's think about it in the direction of fantasy. Maybe there is some secret in this mountain?" Cheng Zongyang's brain circuits have always been different, and only this explanation makes sense.

"Over there... huh?" Cheng Zongyang observed the surrounding situation with a telescope.

He was no longer prepared to go deeper. Knowing most of the sources of water was enough to prove that there must be some secrets in the inner mountain that he didn't know about, thus ensuring the continuous water supply in the inner mountain and isolating the water supply from the inner mountain and the outer mountain.

In other words, the groundwater sources in the inner mountains and the outer mountains are not interconnected.

Just like in a new home, there cannot be just one electrical line.

Following the flow of the waterfall, Cheng Zongyang noticed a trail at the three o'clock direction through the telescope.

At the same time, we also observed that the water in the nearby mountain stream was crystal clear, the pebbles were washed smooth like a mirror by the water, and the rocks on both sides were covered with moss, so it was obvious that it was slippery and difficult to walk on.

"Ok?"

After a quick scan, Cheng Zongyang suddenly discovered that at the two o'clock direction, there was a plant with red beans growing on its top!
It stands out among those green vines!
"That's ginseng?!" Cheng Zongyang's face lit up with joy. But the next moment, he noticed something eerie.

Next to this plant that looks like ginseng, in an area covered by vines and low grass, a large number of bones are exposed.

He noticed not only a large number of animal remains, but also two human skulls.

Many skulls had a hole on their covers, which had obviously been pierced by some sharp weapon.

He looked around and locked onto a cave entrance at the bottom of the mountain wall that was almost hidden by vegetation.

Cheng Zongyang put the telescope back into the wilderness world, replaced the hatchet in his hand with a Tang sword, and gradually approached.

Whatever the case, you have to check whether the plant is ginseng.

Judging from the leaves, there are quite a few "palm-sized" leaves, which means the ginseng is at least quite old. It's worth a look.

However, he did not notice that as he approached, some of the fine, almost transparent spider silk under his feet were destroyed.

There were many thumb-sized spiders running around on the surrounding flowers, plants and trees.

After a while, he came to the ginseng where the skeleton was.

Perhaps it was because of the smell of the medicine powder on his body that many brightly colored centipedes, spiders, and other poisonous insects were forced to run out from under the skeleton and flee.

But when Cheng Zongyang saw the two human skeletons, his expression became solemn.

The two skeletons were wearing a county constable's uniform and a black suit. Both of their clothes were already tattered, and the black-clad skeleton had an equally tattered leather bag on his body.

"I once heard from my mother that a county constable went into the inner mountains to pursue a fugitive, and then disappeared without a trace. Could it be these two people?"

Cheng Zongyang used a knife to pick open the clothes of the constable skeleton and immediately saw the badge on his waist. He took it out and looked at both sides.

"Constable, Xiao Yong."

Seeing the name, Cheng Zongyang also knew the other party's identity.

His eyes fell on the waist of the black-clad skeleton on the other side, and the package that was mostly covered by fallen leaves.

I used a knife to pick up the fallen leaves and cut the package easily. As a result, it fell loose, revealing a lot of gold, silver and jewelry inside. In addition, there was a tightly closed palm-sized jade box. Although it was stained with a lot of mud.

"And some unexpected wealth?"

Cheng Zongyang's eyes lit up, and after thinking for a while, he put the whole package into the wilderness world and looked at it later. Then he looked at the weapon next to another black-clad skeleton.

It was a long knife with a rusty blade. However, there was a circle of white residue on the black-clad wrist that was holding the handle, as if the wrist was tied by something.

He picked it up with a knife, looked at it carefully, pinched it, and suddenly his face turned cold - spider silk!
I instantly felt goosebumps.

How big a spider must be to have enough silk to bind a person's wrist?
But it doesn’t take that long for spider silk to decompose. This person turned into bones, so did the spider silk come later?

He looked left and right.

As expected, on the right hand side, there were some traces of broken low flowers and plants. They were not very obvious. The traces gradually extended to the cave entrance.

Obviously, these two skeletons were tied up with spider silk, dragged out and thrown here.

Moreover, Cheng Zongyang noticed that there was a finger-shaped hole in the skull of the skeleton, which was obviously pierced by this spider-like creature!

Hey!
Any creature that can kill two ninth-grade warriors must be a strange beast!

His mind suddenly recalled the terrifying spider in the King Kong movie he had seen in his previous life.

Suddenly, he looked towards the cave entrance a hundred meters away, then looked up at the sky, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Judging from the entrance of the cave, this suspected alien spider is not that big.

Not far away, it seemed like a cave entrance that was carefully camouflaged by nature. At this moment, it seemed like a beast's mouth that was devouring life!

His gaze shifted back to the black-clothed skeleton and he continued to rummage through it with the knife. The next moment he saw a jade box inside the black-clothed skeleton. This jade box was smaller and thinner than the one in the bundle.

He picked it up and put it into the wilderness world, continuing to search for it. Seeing that there was no ginseng left, he prepared to dig it away. He had to be quick and steady, otherwise that scary guy would appear and he would have to run away.

"Snapped…"

As a result, he landed on a stone, which tilted, and his foot shifted to a dead branch nearby.

The crisp sound is not obvious, after all, this place is not far from the waterfall.

However, the sound of breaking the branches seemed to trigger a certain node.

Suddenly there was a rustling sound, and a large number of spiders swarmed in from all directions.

It was only because of the smell of the seven-herb powder that some of the spiders nearby did not dare to approach casually. But the smell also forced them to become a little manic. It was as if an enemy had come to their territory, but they were angry and could not fight back.

Even though Cheng Zongyang doesn't suffer from trypophobia, he still felt his scalp tingling when he saw it.

Most of the spiders were the size of a thumb, and there were even a few that were the size of a basketball.

Without saying a word, he ran away.

Not to mention whether I’m afraid of this spider or not, the main thing is that there was some movement coming from the direction of the cave entrance.

"squeak!!"

A shrill sound came out from the cave entrance, and immediately afterwards, Cheng Zongyang, who was running, saw from the corner of his eye a horrible spider the size of an adult buffalo rushing out. The spider's legs pressed and bounced, and it instantly jumped towards Cheng Zongyang's position.

“It really is a strange beast!”

In this situation, Cheng Zongyang didn't want to fight at all, and his strength didn't allow him to fight. As soon as he thought about it, he disappeared in an instant.

Without a market hut and few means of attack and defense, he was not so arrogant as to fight at the entrance of the alien beast's lair.

He was able to kill the Wolf King and the Black Horned Python before, all thanks to the help of the market hut.

The spider king fell to the ground and saw its prey suddenly disappear. Its strange eyes showed confusion, as if it didn't understand why the prey suddenly disappeared. It waved its forelimbs angrily, making a harsh sound.

All the descendants around him were lying on the ground, unable to move.

After a while, the spider king returned to the cave and they all dispersed.

Wild world, market hut.

Cheng Zongyang used a wooden basin, picked up the package with a knife, and threw all the gold, silver and jewelry into the basin and soaked them in water.

Then he gave the two jade boxes to Ma San and asked him to open them. God knows what was inside.
