Chapter 150 Look at me! Don’t be afraid, I’m here
In the dense primeval forest, sunlight occasionally shines down from the sky, adding a bit of warmth to the damp and cold air.
All kinds of rare and exotic plants are hidden under the thick dead trees and rotten leaves, some sticking out their green little heads, some twisting their bodies to meander out from the loose gaps, greedily absorbing the warmth of the sun and the delicious moisture in the air.
Shu He picked a lot of herbs along the way. His off-white figure was like a happy elf, shuttling back and forth in the forest, and his exclamations became louder and louder.
Baili Moqing followed her silently, with the frown on his head never going away.
Is that really the case? Isn't she a miracle healer? What kind of herbs has she not seen? How can she be so excited?
He remembered that she used to be decisive and cold-hearted. How come she seemed like a completely different person in the past two days?
This childish mentality is really hard to get used to.
"Baili Moqing, do you know what this is?"
Once again, Shu He rushed to the foot of a small hill and carefully dug out a herb. The root was as thick as a finger, with long whiskers and a light golden color. Even though it was covered in dust, one could still tell that it was extraordinary.
"Goldenbeard grass." Baili Moqing answered calmly.
"Hmm?" Shu He's smile froze, and he looked puzzled. "How did you know him?"
"Because you showed it to me once half an incense stick ago."
"Ah? Really?"
Shu He was stunned and quickly searched her small backpack and small cloth bag. Finally, she found the golden-bearded grass that Baili Moqing mentioned in her small cloth bag.
"It really exists!" She had dug so many rare herbs that she didn't even remember having seen this one before.
This kind of herb seems to have disappeared in the outside world for a long time, but so much of it can be found in Baishou Mountain!
"You're pretty amazing! You recognized it after seeing it once!" Shu He smiled and hid the golden-bearded grass in her small bag. She was in a good mood and praised Baili Moqing by the way.
This thing is a good thing. With it, the problem of damaged tendons and veins can be basically solved.
Baili Moqing snorted and blurted out, "Photographic memory, it's innate!"
Shu He was frightened by his boasting and was speechless. "I told you you were fat, and you're still panting!"
Although he didn't understand why she said "fat" and "out of breath", he could tell from her tone that she was teasing him.
He didn't get angry either. He just walked leisurely in the woods with his hands behind his back and replied calmly, "I learned it from you."
Shu He paused, raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. Why does this man feel a little different?
She trotted after him, tilted her head to look at him, and asked, "Have you changed your sex?"
He glared at her, his voice returning to a calm tone, "Why do you say that?"
Shu He thought about it and felt it was difficult to say.
That change was a change in her feeling. She felt that this person was not as cold as before, and seemed less distant.
She used to think he was aloof and indifferent, but now, she inexplicably found him somewhat cute.
However, she didn't dare say this to his face.
After all, it is probably not a good idea to say to a man with a good reputation for being ruthless and ruthless, "How did you become so cute?"
She thought, she would be beaten up by him, right?
Seeing her silence, he turned his head to look at her, "Why don't you speak?"
"It's okay, it's okay. It's fine, it's fine." Shu He smiled, hiding the strangeness in his heart, and immediately changed the subject.
"Don't they say this Beast Mountain is very scary? Why do I see no danger except for some ferocious beasts?" It feels like this place is much safer than the bushes on the west mountain peak!
Then why are the people in Shanwai Valley so afraid of the Mountain of Beasts?
Baili Moqing looked at the map given by the Beast Tamers. It was about half an hour's journey to the dangerous area they marked.
"Have you gathered enough herbs? Once you're done, leave quickly. Don't forget, you haven't been home for two days!"
Doesn’t this woman worry about Xiao Yier?
She was angry when he said she was irresponsible a couple of days ago, but now it seems that he clearly did nothing wrong!
"Family?"
Shu He was stunned for a moment. When she first heard this word, her heart skipped a beat, but when she saw his calm expression, she couldn't help but laugh.
She really thinks too much!
Seeing her dazed look, he kindly reminded her, "Yes, Xiao Yi'er."
This woman, wouldn't she have forgotten that she has a daughter? !
"Ah!" Shu He screamed.
Baili Moqing looked nervous, "What's wrong?"
Shu He's face showed embarrassment and guilt. "Yes, Xiao Yi'er is still waiting for me! Hurry, let's go!!"
Seeing her jogging, he felt helpless. She really had forgotten about it!
Why were you running so fast? A feeling of helplessness welled up in him, and he shouted at her, "You're going the wrong way!"
Shu He stopped, turned around, and looked embarrassed.
Seeing him heading towards the east, she lowered her head and said nothing, then hurried to follow him.
Later, she encountered some rare and precious medicinal herbs, but Shu He didn't look at them anymore. She just secretly vowed to return to this place and make it her "back medicine garden"!
After about an incense stick of time had passed, Baili Moqing's expression suddenly turned cold, and a serious look appeared on his face.
He stopped Shu He and stopped where he was, listening carefully to the sound coming from afar.
"What's wrong?" Shu He looked around, but there was no movement.
"Chimpanzees?"
"What? What gorilla?" Shu He asked him.
A quarter of an hour later, Shu He finally understood what Baili Moqing meant by "gorilla".
She heard the deep, deafening roar again.
The occasional roar was hurried and seemed to carry a hint of irritation.
She couldn't help but stop. Fear suddenly filled her heart, and she looked towards the distant place where the sound came from, and her hands subconsciously tightened the straps of her backpack.
"It's that thing!"
Baili Moqing turned around and saw her fear and anxiety.
She heard it too! With her skill level, this distance was indeed about right.
"It's that giant humanoid beast!" Shu He looked at Baili Moqing, with a hint of fear in his voice.
He heard Beiji talk about what happened that day and the giant humanoid beast.
The creature seemed to have come from another world, enormous and incredibly ferocious! A two- to three-meter-long tiger, like a kitten, tore the beast in half with a single tug!
In this world, even people with internal strength reaching the third or second level cannot tear a tiger apart with bare hands!
Although he had never seen the creature, he could still feel its horror from the descriptions.
I think the "mountain god" that people in the valley outside the mountain refer to is this thing.
He stood beside her and whispered, "Don't be afraid, follow me."
She looked at him, and those words inexplicably soothed some of her fear. Her feet, which had previously been rooted, could now move.
Following behind him, his body was like a mountain, clearing the way ahead for her.
At this moment, a faint fragrance came, which smelled quite pleasant.
As she moved away, another roar came. She could even feel a strong airflow coming with the sound, hitting her body and face!
She paused again.
The scene of the giant beast tearing the tiger apart with its bare hands that day was still vivid in her mind. At that moment, her mind was in turmoil, and she even felt like she was the tiger. She saw her body being torn in two in an instant! Blood splattered, falling like rain on everything.
A sharp pain came over her and her body trembled slightly.
Baili Moqing turned around and saw this, his eyes changed slightly.
His slightly cool left hand grasped her pale fist and wrapped it up completely.
"He Shu, look at me!" He squeezed her hand and brought her somewhat distracted gaze back.
She looked up, her eyes focused, and her thoughts became clearer.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
He stared into her eyes, his voice deep and steady, with a touch of intoxicating magnetism that made people feel inexplicably at peace.
What was wrong with her? Why did she feel that way?
At this moment, the roar sounded again, and this time, Shu He was not distracted like before.
As they walked further, they found that the road ahead was getting narrower and narrower, and the mountains on both sides were getting higher and higher, leaving only a very small and deep canyon for people to pass through.
This place is somewhat similar to the crack canyon they came down from before, but the difference is that the canyon in Jifeng Mountain was pitch black with no sunlight at all, but here, the light is not blocked and a ray of sky can be clearly seen.
At this time, the roar was getting louder and more impatient. Just by listening to it, one could feel the creature's violence and anger.
What's going on? Is the creature normally this aggressive? Or has someone provoked it?
Shu He's expression changed slightly as he thought of someone.
Could it be Su Lanzhi?
