Drunk Immortal Gourd

Because of the beehive, Hu Zhentai's group temporarily stopped searching for treasures. Both groups of nine people came here. Now that the beehive has been dealt with, the work of searching for treasures still needs to be done. However, because of Hu Zhensong's death, Hu Zhentai also came to Qingyang's group of masters and apprentices, and he was obviously wary of them.

The old tree is almost the highest point of the entire hill. Standing here, you can have a general view of the entire garden. Except for the small hill, there is nothing special about this garden. You can see the edge at a glance. It seems that there is basically no danger in other places.

Time is tight, so everyone didn't waste any more time. The two groups continued to take turns to use the spirit-judgement plate to search for treasures, starting from a corner of the garden, along one of the edges of the garden, and slowly moving forward. Each time, they controlled a width of two or three feet, and didn't let go of anything.

The remaining group didn't go anywhere. They made a flat land at the highest point of the hill, and then cut down trees to build a simple little house. Usually, everyone rested in it and monitored the other group at any time, so that they could rush over as soon as possible when they encountered danger.

The two groups rotated every six hours, and everyone had enough time to rest and replenish their physical strength, so it was not very hard.

In the first few days after entering the secret place, their harvest was always relatively small, and the things they got each time were scattered, which was far less than the price they paid.

This garden was probably the place where the immortal masters planted spiritual herbs and medicinal materials. Although it has been abandoned, there are still many good things hidden in it. So in the past few days, they finally ushered in a big explosion of harvest, and found useful things almost every day.

There are spiritual ginseng with tuberous roots, herbs emitting golden luster, plants with bright flowers, small saplings with green bodies, and several small purple fruits. Almost all of them are plants, and there are more than a dozen kinds.

These things were all found with the Jianling Plate. Of course, there are still differences in grades. When most of the spiritual herbs encounter the Jianling Plate, the red light on it is not very bright, which is similar to the brown stone found before, but there are also some with higher brightness. When one of them was found, the red light on the Jianling Plate was extremely dazzling, which was amazing.

In the blink of an eye, six or seven days had passed. With the efforts of the two groups of people day and night, the entire yard was finally searched, not leaving an inch of land, and even the small hill under their feet was searched.

During this period of time, it was always calm, no danger was encountered, and no one was injured. In the entire garden, let alone living creatures such as birds and beasts, even ordinary insects were rarely seen, and the only ones that seemed to move were the bees.

After finishing the work, Hu Zhentai counted all the gains they had from entering the secret place this time, including a brown stone, two blue crystals, two black metal plates, a large bundle of waste wood, a bowl-sized beehive, and more than a dozen various spiritual herbs and medicinal materials.

In addition to those treasures, there was also a mouse corpse and several dead black beetles and bees. These were mainly to show the immortal masters their merits, proving that they did not slack off after entering the secret place this time, but took great risks to their lives.

Hu Zhensong's body was not kept, but burned directly on a few pieces of waste wood, and then a large porcelain bottle was found to hold it, which was carried by his third brother Hu Zhenhua.

Qingyang also counted his gains privately. The wine gourd lost all nine wine pools in the hall. In addition, it also sucked in seven bees and a lot of immortal wine essence. He and his master drank a lot of honey, which greatly improved their strength. In addition, there were a few unknown seeds. The harvest was not small. However, he had not figured out what was going on with the wine gourd. The things sucked in could not be taken out, so they could not be considered his for the time being.

Calculating the time, they had been in the secret place for nearly fourteen days, and there was only a little more than one day left before the half-month time given by the immortal masters. Everyone did not dare to delay any longer. After packing up their things, they came to the entrance of the garden and followed the rope back to the outside of the fog.

There were ten people when they went in, but nine came out. Although the harvest this time was great, everyone was in a low mood, and no one spoke outside the fog. After a long time, when Hu Zhentai called everyone to discuss what to do next, the situation was better.

However, everyone had different opinions. Some people thought that time was running out and it was too late. It would be better to turn back and go directly to the entrance of the secret place to wait for the immortal masters to let everyone out. Some people thought that the secret place had not been explored yet and needed to continue moving forward, at least to see what was ahead, and to report to the immortal masters after going out, otherwise it was hard to guarantee that they would not be sent in a second time.

After some discussion, a compromise plan was adopted. Everyone walked forward for a distance, regardless of whether there was any discovery, and only half a day was given at most, and then they would return the same way. Because they were worried about danger when they came, they walked slowly and cautiously, and when they went back, they slowed down. The remaining time was enough for them to rush to the entrance of the secret place.

Everyone walked forward along the passage for about three or four hours, and they had not encountered any buildings such as houses or halls. Seeing that there was only half a day left in the half-month deadline, when everyone was about to turn back, a three-way intersection suddenly appeared in front of them.

Is there another garden in front? The group of people couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. This was a troublesome time, thinking that there was not enough time. If they tell the truth after going out, the immortal masters will definitely force everyone to come in a second time, and who knows how many people will die by then. But what if I don’t tell the truth and the immortal masters find out?

Just when everyone was in trouble, Hu Zhenhua, who was walking at the front, suddenly said in surprise: "Don't worry, this is not a garden, we have reached the end."

End of the road? Everyone hurried forward and came to the three-way intersection. When they got here, everyone discovered that this fork in the road was actually the fork they passed when they first passed through the formation area. They turned around in a circle and finally returned to the position behind the formation area. They had explored the entire secret area.

In other words, after turning this fork in the road, as long as they passed the formation area in front, they would reach the place where they were separated from Hu Zhenheng. After that, walking three hundred feet further is the entrance to the secret place. They have completed this mission and are completely safe.
