Chapter 151 Do you think I'm not good enough?
Crossing the narrow valley, Shu He and the others spotted three or four towering cliffs, each barren and covered in strange, gigantic, and bizarrely shaped rocks. The mountains were majestic and imposing, and standing among them, one could truly appreciate the essence of "the work of nature" and "the beauty of nature."
A magical and magnificent valley is formed between the mountains. Although it is not as huge as the valley outside the mountains, it is still shockingly large.
There is a huge lake in the valley, which nourishes countless creatures and plants in this valley of beasts.
Beyond the lake lay a dense, emerald forest. In the heart of the valley, towering trees stood tall, their thick, lush branches extending outwards for who knows how many years, covering nearly half the valley. Countless vines clung to the trees, thriving. Vines as thick as wrists clung to the trunks and cascaded down from above. Monkeys, squirrels, and other animals occasionally roamed the vines.
Another loud roar sounded, and the animals jumping back and forth on the big vines were frightened. After jumping a few times, they calmed down again. They looked at the man and woman who suddenly appeared, with a bit of curiosity and a bit of vigilance in their big eyes.
"It seems that these animals have become accustomed to the roar." Shu He said, pushed away the vines blocking the way ahead, and walked on the thick, large-leafed green grass.
This is the Valley of Beasts that Fei Qi mentioned.
Fei Qi said that as long as they could safely pass through the Valley of Beasts, they would be able to successfully escape. However, over the years, almost no one had been able to achieve this.
There is a legend circulating in the valley outside the mountain: There is a mountain god in the Valley of Beasts. He is huge in stature and has a violent temper. He likes to eat wild beasts and humans the most. Any creature that invades his territory will be eaten.
It was said that the mountain god lived east of the Valley of the Beasts, separated from the Outer Valley by a chasm. Therefore, the mountain god could not cross the chasm to attack the Outer Valley, and the people of the Outer Valley could not escape this secluded place through the Valley of the Beasts.
This is also the true "legend" that Shanwai Valley has verified with the lives of countless people.
"Do you smell anything?" A familiar fragrance came, and Ling Shuhe frowned.
Baili Moqing heard this and felt it carefully. Apart from the green grass and damp scent in the air, he didn't smell anything else.
"It doesn't taste like anything. What's wrong?"
Shu He's face showed a bit of confusion. She could always smell a faint fragrance, but when she sniffed hard, it disappeared.
"I always feel like there's a faint fragrance in the air, like the smell of ripe fruit."
Looking around, apart from green plants, grass, and a giant tree, there were only some scattered wild flowers. As for the fruit that Shu He mentioned, he didn't see it.
"Forget it, let's go quickly!" Shu He put the smell behind him, feeling a little worried. "I heard from Tong Ying that Su Lanzhi went to their tribe and asked for a way out of the valley. I think he thought something was wrong with us, so he left on his own."
"That giant beast is so violent, I wonder if it's fighting Su Lanzhi. Let's go over there quickly and help."
Baili Moqing's expression changed slightly, and his eyes became more fierce. "He's a Northern Di person, why are you so worried about him?"
Shu He turned around and saw that he looked unhappy, and quickly said, "I don't mean to collaborate with the enemy!"
He looked at her with a hint of doubt in his eyes, "Really?"
"Of course it is!" Shu He was speechless and came over to explain, "You haven't seen that giant beast. It's as tall as more than ten stories. Its strength, speed, and intelligence are all terrifyingly sharp. If we go to help Su Lanzhi, it's the same as asking Su Lanzhi to help us!"
"Do you think I'm not capable enough?" He didn't like the feeling of being questioned.
"No, no, no!" Shu He was embarrassed. Why did this sound a little weird?
"Although your poison has been temporarily suppressed by the Earth Bud Root, your internal strength is not as strong as it was in its heyday. If you really fight hard, I'm afraid the coldness in your body will break the seal!" By then, without the Earth Bud Root and the Fire Lotus, he would surely die!
It turned out that they were worried about his cold poison breaking out. Hearing this, Baili Moqing's gloomy face finally softened a little.
Seeing this, Shu He continued, "You know my internal energy is only at the seventh level, not even enough to fill someone's teeth! But Su Lanzhi's internal energy is extraordinary, you should be able to see that. If you and him join forces, and I sneak in from time to time, maybe we can still have a chance of winning."
Seeing that she didn't say anything, she moved closer and said in a flattering tone, "Really?"
Baili Moqing snorted coldly, pushed away a branch blocking his way, and said with a bit of arrogance on his face, "I can do it without him!"
Shu He couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. This man really is too concerned about his reputation!
"Boom!"
"boom!"
After passing through the dense forest, the giant humanoid beast that Shu He had met once before immediately appeared in front of them.
Its face was full of anger, its eyes were wide open, and its hands were waving constantly. Its huge body cut through the air, making a "ho ho" sound.
In front of her, a figure was flying back and forth in the air, holding an ordinary long sword in his hand, which looked somewhat like the sword of the Xishan tribe.
Shu He had seen that kind of knife before; it was crudely crafted, weak, and easily broken. But in Su Lanzhi's hands, fueled by her internal energy, the knife became indestructible. Even when it struck the beast's body, the powerful internal energy rebounded, preventing it from breaking.
With Su Lanzhi's beautiful light work, the giant beast was harassed back and forth by the tiny person. Although the "knife" could not cause any great harm to it, it was constantly poking at its body, which made it very irritated.
It stared at Su Lanzhi, wishing it could swallow him in one bite!
At this time, Su Lanzhi noticed the arrival of Shu He and the other person. His expression changed slightly. He used the giant beast's arm as a fulcrum and leaped in front of the two people.
Shu He was surprised. He didn't expect that this kid's Qinggong was so amazing!
"You are not dead?!" His eyes swept across Shu He and finally stopped on Baili Moqing.
"Well, actually, there are two ghosts standing in front of you!" Shu He said seriously.
This was the third person who had asked her this question today. She was confused. Why did they keep asking about something so obvious?
If he was really dead, how could he appear before them in broad daylight?
Su Lanzhi's eyes darkened and she snorted coldly. No one would believe her.
"If you don't believe me even after I tell you, why are you still asking?"
Su Lanzhi clenched her fists. This woman, can't she speak properly? "Can't you just express your regret? And by the way, let me make sure, if he's not dead, I'll give you a ride!"
Looking at the malicious look that was deliberately revealed on the boy's face, she just found it a little funny.
She smiled slightly and asked tentatively, "Really? Are you sure you can defeat that guy alone? And get out of this Valley of Beasts?"
Su Lanzhi showed a proud look on her face, and was about to say "Of course", but when the words were on the tip of her tongue, she suddenly realized the woman's true purpose!
"So, you guys want to cooperate with me?" He said with a hint of sarcasm on his face. "Why, even the mighty God of War, King Dongli, needs the help of the Beidi people?"
"Have you forgotten what I just told you?" Baili Moqing just glanced at him, with a look of displeasure and contempt on his face.
Then he turned his attention to the giant beast not far away, keeping vigilant at all times.
Su Lanzhi was so angry at his arrogant and contemptuous look that she gritted her teeth and asked, "What do you mean?"
"I told you I wouldn't kill you. I told you to go back and tell Shen Chuan about this." He glanced at him again, a hint of disappointment in his eyes. "How did you become a spy when you have such a bad memory?"
Baili Moqing had a soft sword hidden on his waist. At this moment, he had already placed his hand on the hilt, ready to strike.
"Baili Moqing!!"
Su Lanzhi's delicate face instantly turned gloomy. Just as he was about to take action, Baili Moqing pushed Shu He back and shouted, "Find a place to hide!"
After saying this, his body shot out like an arrow from a bow, and he drew a long sword with a silver glow from his waist and flew towards the giant beast.
