Ask the Mirror Chapter 13: Slope

lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Asking Mirror!

Shaking his head to drive this ridiculous thought out of his mind, Yu Ci concentrated on the Illumination Map and carefully examined the vast world within fifty miles under the cliff.

Generally speaking, the brightness of the Sky Rift Valley shows a decreasing trend from top to bottom. It is obscured by layers of clouds and fog, and no matter how strong the sun is, it cannot shine deep into the valley, which is seven or eight thousand feet deep. Therefore, starting from a depth of about twenty miles, a relatively strong contrast between light and dark appears on the Illuminating Map. When it reaches a depth of forty miles, there is a dark area where no skylight can be seen. So far, the bottom of the canyon has not yet been reached.

Yu Ci scanned it briefly and then focused on the details. As his thoughts changed, in his eyes, the small world expanded rapidly, and soon, a point in the illuminating picture he randomly set was clearly displayed in front of his eyes.

He was facing an eye as big as a copper bell, with a golden light like a knife.

Yu Ci almost hit him with a punch, but luckily he controlled it in time. Only then did he realize that the angle of his vision was wrong. After a little adjustment, he saw clearly that it was actually a giant bird with a wingspan of several feet. What he just saw were the eyes of the giant bird. The dark red fine feathers on the giant bird's head were covered in a messy layer, but they could not block the typical sharp eyes of an eagle and the huge iron-hook-like beak. The further the fine feathers spread towards the body, the brighter the color becomes. Finally, it looks like it is stained with a layer of blood. When the feathers are shaken slightly, a layer of blood light spreads in the clouds.

What is this thing called? Blood eagle?

Yu Ci's eyes circled around the fierce bird several times, and used this as a reference to extend in all directions. The sky rift valley in the clouds and mist became increasingly clear.

He soon discovered that the idea of ​​naming the giant bird was really meaningless. At this moment, the wonders of the valley only revealed the tiniest corner to him.

The blood eagle swooped down with the wind and fog, and within reach of its sharp claws was a huge lizard. However, this lizard not only had horns on its head, but also had two huge fleshy wings under its ribs. Seeing the blood eagle attacking, it croaked, blew its membrane wings, and glided out diagonally. Then the two monsters started fighting in the clouds and mist, and blood feathers and broken scales flew all over the sky.

The perspective shifted, Yu Ci saw a huge frog-like monster, spitting venom, walking up and down the cliffs as if walking on flat ground; he saw a three-person-tall giant ape, tearing up trees and flying rocks, looking like a demon; but he also I saw that such a monster was knocked down by a green snake as thin as bamboo chopsticks and only two feet long. It was poisoned and killed; further down in the depths of the clouds, there was an arm as thick as a child, but dozens of feet long. The huge creatures seemed to be the legendary snakes, looming and floating among them.

If you are too surprised, the taste will be dull, and what will arise instead is uncontrollable excitement: It turns out that there is such a world in the world, so mysterious and majestic, as if God specially created it to break the human race. Common sense and purpose-built as such!

Of course Yu Ci also saw the dangers involved, but the endless crises were more like aniseed sprinkled in boiling oil. When it was rolled in the oil, a strong fragrance overflowed, attracting his soul. Straight into the bottomless abyss.

Then he really jumped.

The clouds and mist rushed towards his face, filled with a breath that had never existed before, crashing into his heart and burning his heart:

"I didn't know the basics before, so I didn't go deep. Now that I have the divine picture, how can I miss it again!"

With the divine map guiding the way, Yu Ci quickly slid to a place a hundred feet below the top of the valley, where the light was slightly dimmed. This was the deepest position he had gone down to while collecting herbs some time ago, but compared to the canyon itself, such a distance was meaningless!

The further down you go, the more novel and bizarre the world displayed on the Illuminating Map becomes, challenging Yu Ci's imagination every moment. The ever-changing and wonderful ecology dazzled him and created a huge attraction, pulling him to continue downward.

Unconsciously, it was already ten miles deep. During the ten-mile journey, there were many difficult and dangerous places. After arriving here, Yu Ci finally found a platform where he could barely stay and take a breather.

As his position deepened, the temperature in the Sky Rift Valley dropped very quickly, and the air was biting and had a bit of a winter atmosphere.

But for Yu Ci, the most difficult thing is not the temperature, but the chaotic sense of space. From his position, no matter up, down, left or right, he could see nothing except the vast mist, and there was only the cliff behind him to rely on. After staying for a long time, he felt that the world was upside down, or that the earth was bent at an angle. If he continued to be in a daze, he might actually regard the cliff as the ground, go from "lying" to "standing", step towards the bottomless abyss, and fall. A man was shattered to pieces.

Fortunately, he has the Illuminating Picture. He can always pay attention to the changes in the picture on the Illuminating Picture, and adjust his feelings with the help of this small world centered on himself.

In addition, the endless emergence of ferocious beasts and birds are also a great threat. For example, the blood eagle just flew past his eyes.

This big guy looks very familiar, as if it is the one he just observed through the divine picture. It seemed to have won a complete victory in the previous battle and had a good meal. It flew past the cliff with pride, and the strong wind stirred by its blood wings almost blew Yu Ci down.

Yu Ci was not angry. Instead, he observed the big guy's flight path with great interest by taking a photo of the god. Prepare to take advantage of the rest time to understand the living habits of such creatures.

The blood eagle hovered in the clouds and mist of the canyon, but its flight altitude kept declining, from ten miles to twenty miles, and then to a depth of thirty miles before climbing back up. Yu Ci knew that this section of twenty miles high and low was the main area where the blood eagle lived.

Originally, he wanted to know more details, but his attention was pulled away from the blood eagle by something.

It is a **** located in a dark area about twenty miles deep in the canyon, which is three thousand feet deep.

The **** is extremely steep at the top, but slightly gentle at the bottom. It stretches out along the cliff for about tens of feet. Yu Ci originally thought that the Sky Rift Valley would gradually narrow at this point. After exploring a little further, he realized that this was a lonely area hanging out. On the protruding land, there is a bottomless abyss below.

There is no conspicuous vegetation on the slope, which is normal. It is hidden under dense fog all year round, without sunlight. Except for some bryophytes, it is difficult for plants to survive. However, Yu Ci was very sure of the function of the divine illumination, and he believed in his eyes even more. He clearly saw that when the blood eagle spread its wings and flew past, the wind it carried blew countless grass blades as thin as hair. .

Shrimp grass!

That must be the shrimp beetle. Although he didn't understand why shrimp beetles could grow in places without trees, Yu Ci believed in his own eyes and the efficacy of illuminating divine images.

Now the shrimp grass is not an important thing to him, but it is an extremely clear goal. Yu Ci immediately cheered up and regarded that **** as the end point of today's adventure and continued to climb. journey of.

This is not an easy task. Not every cliff in the Sky Rift Valley is suitable for climbing. In some places, the top and bottom are as smooth as a mirror. Even the mountain monkeys who are best at climbing will only be thrown to death.

Thanks to the Illuminating Map, which captured all the surrounding terrain, Yu Ci was able to avoid dangerous areas in time. Even so, it took him three hours to find a path through the slope. By the time he stepped onto the soft soil on the slope, it was completely dark.

The Sky Rift Valley is really too vast. The seven or eight acres of land running down diagonally are just an inconspicuous ridge on the entire cliff plane, completely out of scale. But Yu Ci here is just a small insect on the ridges, not to mention not worth mentioning.

But this does not affect Yu Ci's huge gains. Facts have proved that there is no problem with the divine map, and there is no problem with his vision. This is indeed the exclusive medicinal garden given by God to the shrimp beetle.

There are no big trees on the slope, but there is a remaining root system of the big tree. It can be clearly seen in the Illuminating Picture that most of the tortuous root system is buried under the earth and rocks, extending in all directions, occupying the entire **** and even spreading to the surrounding cliffs. Yu Ci couldn't imagine how such a huge tree could grow in a place like this, and what a huge tree it would be if it still had such a root system!

I don’t know why, but the big tree has been broken, and it may have fallen into a deep valley. Most of the remaining root system has died, but a small part has survived and has become a unique parasite, helping Thousands of shrimp grasses around it gain nutrients.

This is the reason why shrimp grass exists.

Yu Ci solved his little doubts, and what awaited him was an even bigger surprise. Because he had omitted to count the surrounding cliffs, the number of shrimp grasses far exceeded his original estimate. Just by visual inspection, there are at least two to three thousand trees near the slope, which is quite an astonishing number. These shrimp beetles, plus what he already has in stock, can more than exchange for four Sanyang Talisman Swords.

The transaction in Cliff City is destined to be a one-time deal, and Yu Ci has no intention of taking things for a long time. Except for some locations that are too dangerous, he plans to sweep away the shrimp grass around the slope.

Of course, that will happen tomorrow.

************************

After nightfall, the Sky Rift Valley is truly blinding. Thick fog almost blocks out all light. Even with specially trained night eyes, it is difficult to see beyond a few feet. Yu Ci didn't want to come to Baoshan and slip and fall to his death. He found a place on the **** leeward from the wind, sat down cross-legged, and spent the long night there.

This was the first time that Yu Ci spent the night in the Sky Rift Valley. After seeing the blood eagle and other raptors and ferocious beasts, it was absolutely impossible for him to sleep or practice. Out of boredom, he simply opened the Illuminating Picture to see what the Sky Rift Valley looked like at night.

At this moment, the Illuminating God Picture shows an almost perfect hemispheric shape. The hemisphere is upright. The cliff behind it can only go deep into a hundred feet. Compared to the fifty miles of boundless void, it can only be said to be a shallow layer. Totally negligible.

The color of the hemisphere has also changed, also affected by the skylight. The overall color is gray-black with a slight light blue light. It is not too conspicuous in the night, saving Yu Ci the trouble of blocking the light.

Fifty miles... No, how could it be fifty miles? Yu Ci suddenly discovered a problem.

He is currently located at a depth of about twenty miles in the Sky Rift Valley. From here to the limit of the sky that can be shown in the Illuminating God Map, it is only thirty miles at all costs. The Illumination Map shows very clearly that the height of the sky has not changed, but in this way, it is absolutely impossible for this complete hemisphere to appear.

Since it appears, it only means one thing. For some reason, the scope of the world shown in the divine map has been reduced. Now, the diameter of the area he can control is not fifty miles, but thirty miles. There seemed to be an invisible giant beast that opened its mouth to swallow up the surrounding space.

Is it the natural attenuation of Zhaoshentu’s supernatural power, or is it related to the night? Yu Ci prefers the latter, but whether this is caused by the unique environment of the Sky Rift Valley or whether it is universally applicable still needs time to verify.

Of course, for now, thirty miles doesn't matter, it's enough for Yu Ci to use.

He found that the Sky Rift Valley at night was much more lively than during the day. The number of creatures swimming in the mist was at least 50% more than during the day. There were even some huge creatures wandering in the deeper clouds and mist, slightly exposed. With just one scale and a half claw, he, the onlooker, could hold his breath.

In fact, Yu Ci had already consciously slowed down his breathing. At this time, the Sky Rift Valley was more dangerous, more bloody, and more elusive. The ferocious beasts here don't seem to have a strong sense of territory like they do on the ground. They are always swimming around, causing frequent conflicts.

Only within the thirty miles that Yu Ci could detect, in just two hours, three extremely brutal fights took place, each of which ended in the tragic death of one party or even both parties. The **** The air permeates the canyon, mixes into the clouds and mist, and becomes part of its unique atmosphere.

While holding his breath, the fire in Yu Ci's heart burned even brighter. This is the world that monks should be exposed to. There are endless ferocious beasts, rising power, **** collisions of lives, and more importantly, different stimuli from time to time. These things are refreshing his existing knowledge every moment. The realization that this moment is absolutely different from the last moment.

Yu Ci felt like a toad jumping out of a dry well, dizzy because of the boundless and vast world outside. She was stunned by happiness.

Brother Yuba is like a toad that jumped out of the well, but I am still looking up at the small sky. Click, collect, red ticket, brothers and sisters, give me a hand!
