"Really, this ...... What kind of thing is left behind?"
After hearing Hu Hongde's words, Ye Tian looked at the snow by the light of the bonfire, and his face suddenly became ugly.
Since Meng Blind and the others were either dead or knocked unconscious, there were no traces of fighting around the bonfire, but there was a long climbing mark on the snow, leading straight to the valley full of poisonous miasma.
Moreover, this unknown mysterious creature and its cruelty, when it dragged these people, it seemed to tear them all over the blood before dragging them into the valley.
So the distance from the bonfire to the valley was nearly 20 meters, covered with blood, and some human internal organs, but it was already frozen hard at this time.
"Lao Hu, come and see, there is mucus on the ground." Ye Tian followed the climbing marks to explore, squatted down and wiped a handful on the snow, his hands covered with a layer of slimy liquid.
These mucus are transparent, I don't know what substance is formed, and they are not frozen at this temperature of more than minus 20 degrees.
"This ...... This is the secretion of snakes, it is difficult to ...... Is that legend true?"
Looking at the entrance of the valley with a black hole, Hu Hongde showed a rare trace of fear on his face, and he couldn't help but take several steps back under his feet, as if the farther away he was from the valley entrance, the safer it was.
"Lao Hu, what legend?" Although Ye Tian is the kind of person who is not afraid of ghosts and gods, when he saw Hu Hongde's appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little chilled in his heart.
Hu Hongde waved his hand, took out another bundle of dry firewood from the forest and threw it into the bonfire, and after making the bonfire burn a little more vigorously, he said: "Ye Tian, I told you that there is a black dragon pool in this valley......"
It turns out that although this place is inaccessible, there are still ginseng pickers in the mountains who can come here in the summer, but since more than a hundred years ago, there has been a legend of monsters eating people here.
Since the miasma of the Black Dragon Pool would disappear in the early morning, several ginseng pickers accidentally found some precious medicinal materials inside, which made them overjoyed, and ran into the depths of the valley while the miasma disappeared.
But who knew that just as they were about to pick medicinal materials, a monster that looked like a snake but not a snake with a pair of claws suddenly appeared from the Black Dragon Pool in the middle of the valley, and bit off a medicinal collector in one bite.
At that time, there were a total of five mountain chasers, but only two escaped, but one of these two went crazy after going back, and the claim that there was a monster in the Black Dragon Pool disappeared.
There are thousands of herbal collectors in the Changbai Mountains, some are greedy for Chinese herbs in the valley, and some people disagree with their statements.
After more than twenty years had passed, a group of good people gathered together to form a team of more than ten people and came to the Black Dragon Pool again.
These people carried shotguns, weapons, and even a few large fishing nets, and after waiting outside the valley all night, the poisonous miasma that shrouded the valley disappeared early the next morning.
Carefully entering the valley, there was no vision at first, but when the team came to the pool of water as dark as ink, a mutation suddenly occurred.
Exactly the same as what the two described before, a large python with the thickness of a bucket rushed out of the pool, bit a person's body with lightning speed, and dragged it into the pool.
The speed of the big python made everyone have no time to react, and when they came back to their senses, the pool was already calm, as if nothing had happened.
There were many people who came this time, and their courage naturally became a lot stronger, and some people saw clearly that it was a big python, not some kind of monster.
So although they knew that their companions who were dragged into the water had no hope of survival, everyone still threw the homemade bomb into the puddle.
These earth bombs were made by putting gunpowder into a clay pot, then connecting the detonator with a fuse that opened the mountain, igniting it, and throwing it in.
Although the bomb made by the earth method was very simple, it was very powerful, and after it exploded in the pool, it immediately set off a huge wave in the pool of tens of meters.
A sound like a baby crying sounded, and a black shadow suddenly rushed out of the pool, and with a sweep of its tail, it hit six or seven people into the pool.
These people who came to encircle and suppress the monsters were also famous hunters in the Changbai Mountains.
But when the smoke cleared, these people were all dumbfounded, because apart from a few scales falling from the ground, the monster like a giant python didn't even have a drop of blood flowing out of its body.
More sharp-eyed people saw that the top of the giant python's head seemed to have a horn protruding, and a pair of claws were growing one meter below the huge python's head.
You must know that although the Qing Dynasty had already perished at that time, for many ordinary people, the dragon was still a god-like totem existence, and the dragon-like monster in front of them made them think of retreating.
It's just that these people's previous actions angered the monster, just when someone dropped the shotgun in his hand and ran out, the monster's body suddenly rose high, and a mouthful of gray mist sprayed out of its mouth.
These fogs filled the air extremely fast, and some people had just run to the mouth of the valley when they were caught up by the mist, and they all rolled on the ground screaming and rolling on the ground.
A total of eighteen people went to encircle and suppress the monsters this time, and in the end, only one person standing at the entrance of the valley survived.
However, the man also inhaled some poisonous gas, barely used old ginseng to hang his life, and met a ginseng picker in the mountains, and died after telling the story.
Since that incident, the Black Dragon Pool has become a forbidden area for the entire Changbai Mountain herbalists, and no one dares to come to this valley anymore, and even the old forest outside the valley has become inaccessible.
The waterhole in that valley was also officially named Black Dragon Pool!
And this is probably the main reason why the hiding place in the belly of the mountain discovered by Meng Blind Man has not been discovered so far.
"Dragon? Lao Hu, ...... Do you think this is possible?"
After listening to Hu Hongde tell this story, Ye Tian's face was extremely strange, the dragon was just a totem given a certain meaning by people, how could there be a real dragon in this world?
"I think it's possible!"
Hu Hongde nodded with a serious expression and said: "Back then, my father set up camp not far away, and he also wanted to explore this Black Dragon Pool, but he didn't know what was going on.
Ye Tian shook his head and said, "Lao Hu, I think there should be a anaconda or a crocodile inside."
In Ye Tian's opinion, the people before liberation did not know what a crocodile was, and they were likely to recognize the crocodile as a dragon, and there were many misunderstandings in ancient times.
Just like the legend of "eliminating the three evils everywhere" that everyone knows, the evil dragon he removed was actually a crocodile, but the ancients had little knowledge and had a relationship with the dragon.
"Whether it's a crocodile or a dragon, we can't afford to mess with it, Ye Tian, let's make do with it here for a day today, let's go out of the mountain early tomorrow."
Although he is also a bold person, Hu Hongde has always stayed away from this Black Dragon Pool, especially the traces left on this ground, which is even more frightening.
"Could it be that the person living in this pool is a spiritual creature? Otherwise, when Hu Yunbao wanted to encircle and suppress it, how could those poisonous miasma not dissipate all day long?"
This was the first time Ye Tian had heard the legend of the Black Dragon Pool, because he was not very afraid of the monsters in the valley, and when it came to people like him, apart from reverence for heaven and earth, there were few foreign objects that could shake their Taoist hearts.
"Lao Hu, wait a minute, I'll go and take a look!" Ye Tian stood up as he spoke and walked straight towards the valley.
"Ye Tian, you...... Don't go, this is no joke." Hu Hongde was shocked, and quickly jumped up and stopped in front of Ye Tian.
Ye Tian smiled and shook his head, and said: "Lao Hu, it's okay, I'm just standing outside the miasma to sense it and see what kind of poisonous gas this is.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Ye Tian, Hu Hongde said: "Then ...... Then I'll go with you!"
"Don't, Lao Hu, your body is not good, if something happens, it's still a burden, okay, you wait for me outside!"
Ye Tian waved his hand, he was very confident in his body, even if the monster ran out of the poisonous miasma, Ye Tian could also guarantee that he would escape from the valley.
And then again, Ye Tian is not necessarily afraid of that monster, if there is a fight, who will die in the water is still a matter of two words.
"Okay, be careful, alas, why did I take you into the mountain!"
Hu Hongde shook his head again and again in distress, Ye Tian was gentle and elegant before, giving people a very good impression, but after entering the mountain, Hu Hongde realized that this kid was definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp.
"I know, Lao Hu, be careful outside, if anything is wrong, go into the forest!"
Ye Tian waved his hand without looking back, he didn't take the torch, and his figure slowly disappeared into the valley, but the bonfire outside could no longer shine inside.
Not only did he completely release his consciousness, but he also held Wu Trace in his hand, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.
"This miasma is a bit strange, it actually contains spiritual energy?"
Although his eyes couldn't see anything, the situation around Ye Tian more than ten meters away was clearly visible in his mind, and after walking into the valley for seven or eight minutes, Ye Tian felt the existence of poisonous miasma.
