Chapter 173 Behind the stone gate, a shocking opportunity!

Poisonous insects!

Chu Liang suddenly realized.

"No wonder this insect is so strange."

He had seen descriptions of poisonous insects in the martial arts alliance books. This thing has the characteristics of monsters, and can be said to be a "bug monster", but it does not have the wisdom of monsters of the same level, which is very special.

In the southwest region, some barbarian warriors are good at cultivating poisonous insects.

There are many types of poisonous insects, some are good at fighting, some are good at tracking, and they have different shapes and are strange and hard to guard against.

Some even look like rice grains, and it is easy to swallow them if you are not careful.

In those days, the Daliang Dynasty sent troops to attack the barbarians in the southwest and suffered a lot from poisonous insects. Countless soldiers were tortured to death by poisonous insects.

According to the records in the classics, even many first-class masters in the bone refining realm were tortured to death by poisonous insects.

"This is a Gu worm that is specifically responsible for tracking. It can fly and hide. Its breath is almost undetectable when it hides."

Shu Er held the Gu worm tightly and introduced it to Chu Liang: "This kind of Gu worm usually comes in a pair, one tracking and the other sensing it from a distance."

Chu Liang was a little surprised: "Isn't this the same as you two?"

"Yes, Master, but we can transmit sound through the air, and this Gu worm can only remind its owner by twisting its body." Shu Er explained that their treasure-hunting rat race has a higher talent than this worm.

"Shu Er, you know a lot." Chu Liang praised.

"Master, Shu Da and I don't need to practice hard. We can become stronger by eating flesh and blood. We have more rest time than you, so we can read more books." Shu Er said.

"Well, reading more books is a good thing."

Chu Liang was very pleased. These two little mice saved him a lot of trouble.

He walked closer and observed it carefully, and then tried to search in his mind, vaguely remembering part of the description of this worm.

It just released that dark green rotten smell to cover up the smell of its owner.

Chu Liang asked: "Can you find its owner?"

"Master, it has Qi Hai's smell."

"Oh?"

Chu Liang's heart moved slightly. He didn't expect Qi Hai to get such a thing.

This kind of poisonous insect is not cheap. Qi Hai must have paid a huge price.

"After the last incident, Qi Hai has already wanted to kill me. This insect is not very helpful to his martial arts, but he is willing to spend a lot of money to exchange it."

Chu Liang can probably guess Qi Hai's state of mind.

Kneeling in public, this kind of humiliation, Qi Hai will probably never forget it for the rest of his life.

Shu Er said: "Master, the other insect can sense its state and knows that it has been caught by me. It should have reminded Qi Hai. It is difficult to find him now."

Shu Da said: "I will go and look for it!"

After that, he rushed out with a whoosh, moving quickly in the endless mountains and forests, looking around.

About a quarter of an hour later, Shu Da ran back.

"Master, I didn't find it. That guy is probably far away."

"Then forget it. Don't worry about it."

Chu Liang waved his hand and asked Shu Er to kill the poisonous insect directly.

Afterwards, there was a "pop" sound, and the insect was caught by Shu Er and burst into a dark green thick pulp, emitting a foul smell several times stronger than before.

Shu Da's little nose twitched, and he said with disgust: "Shu Er, you quickly find a place to wash yourself, don't come near me."

"You rat!"

Shu Er snorted, ran away immediately, went to a nearby stream, and came back after washing himself clean.

During this period, Shu Da searched the surroundings carefully and confirmed that there were no other poisonous insects.

"Let's go!"

Chu Liang set off again.

This time, he used the blood explosion technique.

He burst to the extreme speed, just like a hurricane, extremely terrifying, and swept through the jungle violently.

At his current speed, even if there are still poisonous insects hiding in the dark, they can't catch up with him and can only watch him go away.

After a long while, Chu Liang resumed his normal speed and rushed to the valley where the stone gate was.

Along the way, the two little mice have been observing for him.

"Master, there is a team of warriors from the Shannong Martial Arts Hall resting two kilometers ahead. Do you want to avoid them?" Shu Er reminded.

"Yes."

Chu Liang changed direction and made a circle.

In this way, he did not stop along the way, nor did he communicate with any human warriors. Finally, he arrived at the valley at two o'clock in the afternoon.

Compared with the last time he left, the valley has not changed much.

Shu Da and Shu Er observed a circle and did not find any human warriors around the valley.

Chu Liang jumped down, jumped into the valley, and landed steadily in front of a vine.

"This is it."

He lifted the vines and moved the boulder behind the vines away.

The familiar passage appeared in front of him.

Chu Liang walked into the passage, stood inside it, turned around and grabbed the boulder, and slowly moved it back, fitting it tightly and covering the entrance of the passage.

Whoosh!

He blew a tinder.

The dim flame flickered, driving away some of the darkness.

Chu Liang held the tinder, walked forward, and saw the gray stone door.

On the gray stone door, there was a depression that looked like a token.

"Finally here!"

The two little mice were a little excited, their tails were shaking, and their little eyes were shining.

Their treasure-hunting talents were all triggered, and they sensed that there was a huge treasure behind the door.

"Master, try that token quickly." Rat Da rubbed his little paws and said impatiently.

"Okay."

Chu Liang took out the token from his arms, and his expression became serious.

He had been looking forward to this opportunity for a long time.

I hope he won't be disappointed.

Chu Liang took a deep breath, took the token, and slowly pressed it on the depression of the stone door.

After just a few breaths, there was a "hum" sound, and the whole stone door vibrated and began to rise slowly.

"It works!"

"Success!"

Seeing this scene, the two little mice screamed in excitement, and they wanted to rush in from the growing gap immediately.

But they were not overwhelmed, and all stood in place, waiting for Chu Liang's instructions.

Chu Liang was the master, and if he didn't tell them, the two little mice would not act on their own.

The stone door rose higher and higher, gradually rising to about ten feet.

The world behind the door was pitch black.

The deep darkness swallowed everything, and the light of the fire in Chu Liang's hand could not illuminate it at all, as if there was an invisible barrier separating the world inside and outside the door.

"Is there a formation?"

Chu Liang thought about it and guessed the reason.

Rat asked, "Master, are we going in?"

"No hurry."

Chu Liang did not go in, but left for a while and caught a hare in the forest outside.

He returned with the hare, tied it up with a straw rope, and then threw it lightly into the dark world inside the door.

The hare at the other end of the straw rope was still struggling, and the vibration was transmitted to Chu Liang's hand through the straw rope.

After a while, Chu Liang grabbed the straw rope and pulled the hare out, and found that it was intact and had no injuries on its body.

"Master, there should be no danger, the rabbit is still alive."

Rat stood up and said to Chu Liang, "How about I go in first and try it?"

"Okay, if there is any danger, retreat immediately." Chu Liang agreed.

"Okay!"

Rat was full of joy, responded, flicked his little tail, and was about to enter the door immediately.

But for safety reasons, Chu Liang tied him up with wire and straw rope respectively, and then let him in.

Under the gaze of Chu Liang and Shu Er, Shu Da took small steps and approached the door.

After a moment, Shu Da's exclamation came from the door: "Master, come in quickly, there are good things, what you want most now!"

"Huh?"

Chu Liang was stunned. What did he want most now?

Shu Da hurriedly ran out of the door and said to Chu Liang: "Master, there is no danger inside, it's just an ordinary cave, you will know when you go in."

"Okay."

Chu Liang knew that Shu Da would not harm him, but he still remained vigilant and walked slowly into the door.

The moment he entered the door, an invisible force swept across his body.

"It's really the power of the formation."

Chu Liang had felt this power in the Wumeng Black Prison, so he was familiar with it.

The appearance behind the stone door was the same as Shu Da said, just an ordinary cave with uneven walls and gray-black color.

The whole cave was not big.

"That is..."

Chu Liang's eyes condensed, raised the fire stick in his hand, and looked at the center of the cave.

There, a white skeleton sat cross-legged.

"This cave should be the place where this senior passed away." Chu Liang thought to himself, "If so, everything in the cave is the inheritance he left to the later generations."

He walked forward slowly with a solemn look.

There was a stone table in front of the skeleton, with two stone boxes on the table.

With the help of the firelight, Chu Liang looked carefully and found a black booklet in the first stone box.

On the surface of the booklet, the five words [Plant Breathing Method] were written.

Chu Liang's heart was shocked, and he took a deep breath, and it was difficult to look away.

"This, this is... an internal strength method?"
