Chapter 1076: Chapter 1076: Strange Changes
At first glance at this herb, Ye Xuan imdiately recognized it as the herb known as ‘lted Rock Grass,’ which typically grows on dark rock walls. It has a certain level of toxicity and cannot be ingested directly. It requires special processing, supplented with other herbs, and is particularly effective in treating stomach ailnts.
Having found the lted Rock Grass, the next step was figuring out how to pick it.
However, Ye Xuan didn’t have such long tools in hand, making it sowhat challenging to pick this lted Rock Grass.
After all, the location where the Molten Lava Grass grows is almost twenty ters above the ground — as high as a five or six-story building! Without wings to fly up there, how could it be so easy to pick?
Of course, for the average person, this would be an impossible task, but in Ye Xuan’s view, it wasn’t that difficult.
He had a way to easily pick this lted Rock Grass by using so auxiliary ‘tools’!
He scanned the surroundings, and after scrutinizing a few spots on the ground, he stepped forward, bent down, and picked up a few flat stones, then stood up again.
He roughly asured the distance, took two steps back, aid the stone at the crevice in the rock wall where the lted Rock Grass was growing, and forcefully tossed the stone out.
Whoosh!
A sound pierced the air as the stone shot straight toward the lted Rock Grass and accurately embedded itself in the rock wall crevice.
The sharp serrated edge spun swiftly, cutting into the stem and root of the lted Rock Grass like a dart, severing the sturdy stem and root.
Thud!
The lted Rock Grass naturally fell, landing not far from where Ye Xuan stood.
Ye Xuan didn’t rush to pick it up because there was more than one lted Rock Grass above. He wanted to pick them all. He then threw the second stone.
Another lted Rock Grass was knocked down!
Next, he repeated the sa thod, knocking down all the remaining lted Rock Grasses before stopping and collecting all his spoils into his basket.
After finding the lted Rock Grass, Ye Xuan did not linger in the valley and left quickly to find the next herb.
Unconsciously, ti reached noon, 12 o’clock.
At this ti, only one type of herb remained, the last one he needed to find.
This herb is called ‘Blue Orchid,’ which grows well in fertile soil, in dark corners without sunshine all year round, absorbing organic matter from the soil to bloom and containing a wealth of various trace elents suited for nourishing the body, making it a very good herb.
Although it’s the last one, it’s the hardest to find among all the herbs. He searched for half an hour and still found nothing.
Ye Xuan ca to a place where two mountains intersected and found a small pond, with its back to the sunlight.
However, this wasn’t where his attention lay because this pond looked strange; its water was black, as if dyed with ink. The water appeared very turbid, seemingly shrouded by a shadow.
Ye Xuan frowned while watching for a mont. Although it was puzzling, he didn’t pay much attention and turned his gaze away, ready to continue searching for the Blue Orchid.
But just then, from the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught sight of a cave beside the Black Pond. The water from the Black Pond was flowing out of this cave.
The cave before him looked ordinary but made Ye Xuan very cautious and gave off a strange vibe.
Because Ye Xuan found that his transparency vision couldn’t see into this cave, a situation he had never encountered before!
His transparency vision had never failed. Since entering the mountains, he had kept his transparency ability on.
No matter if it was a cave filled with solid stones inside, he could see it clearly.
But now, this cave prevented him from seeing through, as if his transparency ability was lost. Isn’t that peculiar?
This scene piqued Ye Xuan’s curiosity, prompting him to want to enter the cave and see why his transparency vision was failing inside.
Hence, Ye Xuan temporarily set aside the task of finding herbs. After mulling over it briefly, he turned towards the eerie cave.
Inside the cave, there were rocks protruding from the water. Ye Xuan didn’t need to step on the water to go in. He directly stepped onto the rocks to enter the cave.
He first paused at the cave entrance, looked around briefly, then began to venture slowly inside.
The cave wasn’t very deep. After walking about thirty ters, he almost reached the end. What appeared before Ye Xuan was a black water pool with a diater of over ten ters.
This black water pool looked very ordinary, with nothing particularly strange about it. The surface was very calm without a ripple.
And in the inner side of the black water pool, there was a slope angled at thirty degrees, scattered with so sporadic stones. But that wasn’t the focus; above the slope, a faint layer of black mist drifted, coming from the rock wall in front of the slope.
“Huh? What’s this?”
Ye Xuan furrowed his brow, a confused look appearing in his eyes.
He had no mory of this odd black mist and couldn’t discern what type of gas it was or how it was produced?
After pondering in place for a while without any answers, Ye Xuan simply decided not to think about it further and prepared to walk over personally to take a closer look and find out the truth!
No sooner said than done!
With high skills and bravery, Ye Xuan hesitated not a bit and imdiately walked over, regardless of whether this mysterious black mist posed any harm.
He just activated the strange energy within him, forming a protective shield around his body as temporary protection, then leapt into the air. Within a few steps, he crossed the entire black water pool, landing on the slope behind it.
Stepping onto the slope, Ye Xuan didn’t stop, quickly arriving in front of the rock wall and lifting his eyes to examine it closely, fully activating his transparency ability.
No matter how he tried to see, to his eyes, this rock wall bore no peculiar features. It was as ordinary as could be.
Still obstructing his transparency vision, it seed he couldn’t see through at all!
Noticing this, the confusion in Ye Xuan’s eyes grew. After a mont of hesitation, he simply raised his hand to touch the cave wall, wanting to see what material it was.
But at the next mont, as soon as his fingertips touched the rock wall, a sudden change occurred.
A strong suction force, with no warning, erged from the rock wall, holding his palm fast against it.
Imdiately after, in Ye Xuan’s stunned gaze, a black vortex suddenly appeared before him, making him montarily dazed.
Before he had ti to react, the black vortex produced a powerful suction, tugging at Ye Xuan’s body, pulling him towards the vortex’s center.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Xuan’s body was completely devoured by the vortex, disappearing without a trace.
Instantly afterward, the vortex also vanished, plunging the cave back into silence, as if no one had ever been there.
