Chapter 78 Choosing a Direction

It turned out that there were already three monk teams on the edge of this cliff, occupying a good location near the Mist Canyon. I waited here and prepared to enter the valley.

After Jiang Chen and others came over, they also stood beside them.

The four monk teams looked at each other and all showed a hint of vigilance.

These three cultivators have about ten people, but most of them are cultivators from the sixth to seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage, and only the captain is from the eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage. Therefore, they are secretly alert to the fact that they are all composed of cultivators in the late Qi Refining Stage.

Jiang Chen was standing at the edge of the cliff of the Misty Canyon and looked down. He saw that the entire canyon was like a huge python entrenched in the mountains. Whether forward or backward, he could not see the snake's head and tail, and it was not bottom-out. However, the sky above the canyon was covered with a strange purple fog, which could not penetrate the spiritual consciousness at all. No wonder it was called Misty Canyon.

The fat fish also came to the edge of the cliff and looked down, but said excitedly: "Brother, come and see, there seems to be a path leading down the cliff."

After hearing this, Fei Qi walked over, looked at the path he said, but smiled slightly, "Yes! This is indeed a small path leading to the Mist Canyon. But we dare not go down. Now we can only see the situation clearly in the front several feet of the road. The road behind is completely shrouded in the fog of the canyon, and it is difficult to penetrate the spiritual consciousness. There are many monsters and alien insects in the canyon, and it is difficult to guard against it. Therefore, we cannot go down now!"

After hearing this, everyone thought to themselves: It seems that Fei Zhi has made some preparations, and even the details in the Misty Canyon were so clearly explored.

Hearing Fei Yu's words, Fei Yu said anxiously: "Oh? That's it? Brother, when will we go down?"

Although the two are not very different in age, the fat fish always feels much smaller than his brother Fat Mule.

"It won't take long. It's almost noon now. At noon, the sun will shine directly from the sky, and the clouds will dissipate, and we will be able to go down by then!" The fat mule said calmly.

While waiting, four monk teams arrived. In a while, there were seven or eight teams on the edge of the cliff. The captains of two of them seemed to have had a grudge before, and they started to curse when they met. The members of their team naturally also came forward to help, and both sides looked tense.

The other monk team watched coldly, and some people were adding fuel to the fire from time to time, and no one went up to dissuade them.

Joke, now everyone is thinking about going into the valley to hunt ice jade snakes. If they can pick other strange flowers and plants, it will be a fortune. If a monk dies, there will be less competitors. People in the Demon Sect are already selfish, so who would be a good person to dissuade them?

However, the captains of these two teams obviously also understood that now is not the best time for them to resolve their grudges. If they really fight here, they will only benefit from other people. So after a while, after arguing, they returned to their team with curses and scolding.

About half an hour later, as the sun rose, under the sunlight, the fog in the fog canyon faded a lot. When the sun moved to the top, the fog on the cliff-side path had disappeared completely.

Although there is still some fog deep in the canyon, it doesn't matter anymore. The fogs will never dissipate, and they are not like the purple fog at the entrance of the valley, and they cannot see their five fingers. At least for monks, they can still see clearly in front of them with their spiritual sense.

"Let's go! You can go down!" Fei Qi said happily when she saw this.

At this time, the other monks also found that the purple mist had dispersed, so they all stood up and walked towards the path below.

Jiang Chen and his team have the least number of people in the cultivator team. However, since they are all cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining, other teams dare not underestimate them.

The six people still walked in front of Feiqiu and Feiyu brothers, Jiang Chen walked in the middle, and Wuxie's three monsters broke the back. They followed the stone steps and had slowly descended to the bottom of the valley.

This Misty Canyon is a spiritual place closest to Qinggu Valley and the entrance of the valley. It is also the place with the least monsters and the safest ones.

Of course, risks and harvest are relative, and there are the least amount of strange flowers and plants in it, and even if there are, they often have little value for picking.

After the lingering purple clouds evaporated by the hot sunlight at noon, the valley seemed very empty.

Jiang Chen took a look and saw that many places were filled with smooth boulders scattered everywhere. The canyon was full of stones, and a clear stream with rapid water flowing was flowing through the valley.

Except for a few towering and ancient trees in the valley, it seems a bit dark. Other places are also open and bright. Occasionally, some wild beasts that cannot be named can be seen walking around.

Jiang Chen felt that this place was not as full of spiritual herbs as he had imagined before, but it was not as dangerous as he imagined.

At this time, Fei Qi stood on a huge rock holding a red blood-fire sword. Looking into the distance, he seemed to be hesitating to walk there.

Jiang Chen's eyes swept around quickly, and he felt a purple area wherever his eyes could reach. However, he soon used his spiritual sense to detect that there was extremely thin fluctuation of spiritual energy next to a huge rock several feet away. It seemed that there should be a spiritual herb.

He then held the goose feather knife in his hand tightly and walked slowly over. He found that under the huge rock was a plant similar to a fern, with green tubers and three leaves stretching slenderly.

"Three-leaf clover? It seems to be one of the materials for refining Qi Yang Pills, but this three-leaf clover is too low, and it looks like it has only grown for a few years. Moreover, the previous teams did not pick it, so it seems that this thing is of no value." Jiang Chen thought to himself.

Every ten years, some qi-refining cultivators come in to pick them. Because the Misty Canyon is the safest and closest to the valley entrance, it is naturally the first choice for all monks. Most of the places here have been searched. Where can I find valuable strange flowers and plants so easy to find.

When Fat Fish saw Jiang Chen looking at the three-leaf clover, she also laughed and said, "Brother Jiang, I know you need a lot of herbs to refine elixirs, but there is probably not much you want in this foggy valley. We have to walk back! There are a lot more spiritual herbs in other places!"

At this time, Fei Qi also walked over and stood among the crowd and said with a solemn look on his face: "Fellow Taoists, now we have two choices. One is to walk up the stream in the valley, enter the ghost mine, and reach the ghost cemetery behind the mine. After passing through the ghost cemetery, we can reach the cave where the cave is located."

After pausing, he said again: "Another option is to walk down the stream in the valley and enter the dark swamp. When the end of the dark swamp is heading east, you can also reach the cave of the ancient monk..."

"But, the Dark Swamp and the Ghost Cemetery are two of the three evil places in the Outer Valley of Qinggu. In other words, no matter which way we take, we must enter one of the evil places!" Fei Zhi said with a worried look on his face.

"Then which of these two evil places is easier to pass through?" Jiang Chen couldn't help asking.

Fei Qi sighed and said, "The dark swamp is a land of forest swamps. There are many water-based monsters inside, and some of them are even monsters in the foundation-building stage. There are still many mud in the swamp. After they fall into it, they can never be pulled out. It is very dangerous for the Qi Refining Cultivator."

"It is said that the Ghost Cemetery is a cemetery where the bodies of the dead were buried after the war between the devils. There are many ghosts and zombies inside, and many of them have used their intelligence and even entered the path of ghost cultivation. The ghosts in the foundation-building stage account for a considerable proportion. It is very difficult for living people to pass!" He talked happily.

After hearing this, Feiyu looked at each other with the three monsters Wuxie and said, "It seems that the two sides are similar. Walking on the dark swamp is beneficial to Brother Wuqing who is good at water-attributed martial arts. Walking on the ghost cemetery is more beneficial to Brother Jiang, who is a ghost cultivator, and it is not much different for the rest of us."

Except for Jiang Chen and Wuqing, it doesn't matter where the other four monks go. Wuying and Wuhui also hugged their hands in front of their chests, with an attitude of obedience. Only the fat man had a worried look on his face. He frowned slightly, as if he was thinking.

Jiang Chen noticed his abnormality and asked hurriedly: "Brother Mule, do you seem to agree with Brother Ling's statement?"

"Actually, I don't agree! If we want to take the path of the Ghost Cemetery, we must pass through the Ghost Mines. Although this place is not one of the three most unlucky places, it is not easy to pass. It is said that in ancient times, this place was a large spirit stone mine, so monks in ancient times dug through both sides and became a mine. Later, during the Battle of the King and the Demons, this place became a place that both sides must fight for. There were many battles, and tens of thousands of monks died. Their ghosts never dispersed all year round, which was called the Ghost Mines." Fei Zhi explained.

"Brother Mule, do you mean: There are still spirit stones in this mine now?" Jiang Chen vaguely guessed something.

"Yes! Although the ancient monks mined a lot, there should be still remaining... but there are not only spirit stones inside, but also a large number of ghosts and zombies. Although the ghosts in the ghost mine are not as powerful as those in the ghost cemetery, they should not be underestimated. Moreover, since there are spirit stone mines here, there must be quite a lot of monks going there. I am afraid that the battle between the middle will be very fierce..." A deep sadness appeared on his white and fat face.

Everyone understood that it would be similar if they simply chose between the Ghost Cemetery and the Dark Swamp. But if they had to pass the Ghost Cemetery through the Ghost Mines, the risk would increase again.

Wuwang's eyes flashed at this time, "Since Brother Mule said that, let's go to the dark swamp! Although the benefits may be greater on the path of the ghost mine, the risks may be greater. Perhaps after we come out of the ancient monk's cave, if we have time, we can walk back to the valley entrance from this road."
