"Some people are not afraid of death and want to investigate the upstream. In the end, their bodies floated down from the upstream. No one knew what happened upstream, and no one dared to pursue it. The river water has been red all these years, but it has lost its bloody smell.

, there is no Miracle Moon.”

"The City Lord's Mansion also sent someone to investigate the matter specifically, but they did not dare to trace the source up, nor did they find any results. After half a year, the blood in the river faded away. Although it is still red now, it is not as evil as before."

"In recent years, the color of the river has faded year by year. To this day, except for a little smell, it is no different from ordinary river water."

After hearing this, Sun Yunfeng knew it was a false alarm, patted his chest and complained: "Brother Chen, you almost scared me to death."

Chen Li smiled and said, "You have also been in the forest three times. If there is still a problem with the water, I wouldn't dare let you drink it."

"The sense of smell of wild beasts is sharper than that of humans. Look at so many beast footprints by the river. If they drink it, you won't be able to do anything." Meng Jingzhe kindly comforted him.

It was a normal word, but because of prejudice, the listener felt that Meng Jingzhe was not as good as a monster.

Meng Jingzhe looked at Sun Yunfeng, not knowing what the silly boy was thinking, so he turned to Chen Li and asked: "How do the monsters react when the blood-colored river flows?"

Chen Li frowned and thought, and said, "I heard that there were no monsters drinking water by the river at that time, but I often heard the wailing sound of monsters coming from the forest, which was very abnormal."

Meng Jingzhe silently remembered it after hearing it, but a word flashed inexplicably in his mind: Rabbit dies and foxes are sad.

He didn't know what these monsters were sad about, but he felt that it was mostly inseparable from the reasons for the changes in the river.

"What is the reason for those people's sudden death?" Meng Jingzhe asked again.

Chen Li shook his head and said, "The causes of their deaths are different, and they don't seem to be very related. Therefore, some people think that this is offending Linghe and being cursed by the river."

Meng Jingzhe frowned slightly after hearing this.

"Since the river is no longer cursed, we can go up and check it out."

As soon as Sun Yunfeng said this, Chen Li interrupted directly and scolded him a few more words. Only after completely dispelling his idea, Chen Li was a little relieved.

Meng Jingzhe picked up his bowl, filled a cup of hot water, and used his hand to fan it, and gently slapped the sour smell floating in the light red river water, which looked like the smell of some mineral.

Seeing that he was still hesitating and did not drink it, Chen Li comforted him: "It's nothing. I have been drinking this river for several years, but nothing happened."

Meng Jingzhe nodded, took a sip, and found that the bitter taste became more obvious after entering his mouth.

After the few people shared a rabbit together, they continued on the road.

After walking for another two hours, the team arrived at a purple forest full of eyes. The purple maple trees growing here are all lavender-colored leaves, connected in groups, swaying in the wind, looking like some wonder.

The scenery is average.

"This is one of the seven areas where the Phantom Deer has appeared. The Phantom Deer is not in the same group and has been acting alone. Everyone looks for it separately." Chen Li directed, and gave each person two fireball talismans and one

Signal flare.

Meng Jingzhe did not receive the fireball talisman, but took a signal flare.

Several people acted together along the way, but this is the first time they separated.

Even if they are separated, the five people are divided into three groups. Chen Li is experienced, so he is single and the other four people are divided into two groups of partners.

"Yunfeng, we are in a group." Meng Jingzhe took the initiative to say.

Sun Yunfeng glared at him and said, "I won't be with you."

Meng Jingzhe frowned and said, "Didn't you really want to protect me before? You have said three times that you want to save me."

[Yin and Yang value from Sun Yunfeng: +0.3]

"Who said he wanted to protect you? I'm not so passionate!" Sun Yunfeng hurriedly avoided him.

Meng Jingzhe had a simple and crude brain circuit, and soon showed a clear expression and said, "So you are embarrassed."

[Yin and Yang value from Sun Yunfeng: +0.5]

Sun Yunfeng jumped up in anger and explained that when the other people saw the two teenagers laughing like this, they also showed a look of watching the show on their faces.

"I want to be with Brother Han Mo!" Sun Yunfeng rushed directly to Han Mo.

Seeing this, Ouyang Dong said to Meng Jingzhe: "Yun Feng is sorry, then I'll be in the same group as you."

"Who is embarrassed, don't talk nonsense." Sun Yunfeng defended anxiously.

After three groups, they each chose their own directions, and Meng Jingzhe chose the southeast direction.

Ouyang Dong rarely speaks in the team, has no expression, and looks mature and steady.

He is good at using bows and arrows, and his walking sounds are very light, and there is almost no sound when he steps on the grass, like a natural hunter.

Meng Jingzhe, who has not received professional training, cannot be as free as he can even control himself.

"You should do this." Ouyang Dong taught Meng Jingzhe to arch his body slightly and pressed his center of gravity slightly while walking.

After Meng Jingzhe studied, he got better and said thank you carefully.

Ouyang Dong smiled honestly, stopped from time to time to check the footprints on the ground.

Soon, he saw a shallow footprint that looked like a plum blossom.

"This should be the footprints of the Phantom Deer." Ouyang Dong said.

Meng Jingzhe looked at the environment around the footprints and saw nothing special. He asked, "What do Phantom Deer like to eat?"

"This..." Ouyang Dong was speechless for a moment. Although he often went into the forest to hunt with the hunting team, the Phantom Deer rarely appeared, so it could not say the Phantom Deer's preferences.

Meng Jingzhe stood next to the footprints of the phantom deer and observed it left and right, and saw a newly grown bud on a purple maple next to him, which was bitten off half.

"Does it like to eat the new purple maple sprouts?" Ouyang Dong said, and soon said: "Yes, many monsters love to eat the new purple maple sprouts, tender and sweet."

As Ouyang Dong spoke, he reached out and pulled a new sprout and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

Meng Jingzhe:...

Ouyang Dong picked a large handful. Seeing Meng Jingzhe was a little stunned, he was still urging: "You can eat it too, it tastes very good."

Meng Jingzhe shook his head, but he didn't want to eat unwashed tree buds.

Ouyang Dong chewed and said, "We can see the traces of the Phantom Deer when we move forward."

Meng Jingzhe felt that the phantom deer’s hobby was not that simple. After all, although purple maple is beautiful, it is not a rare plant. And this phantom deer should not stop eating just one bite.

He asked Ouyang Dong to wait for a moment, stood there, and searched from top to bottom.

This footprint is two meters away from the straight line of the next footprint.

According to Ouyang Dong, the Phantom Deer moves very quickly, so it takes such a long step.

Meng Jingzhe felt that this should not be the reason.

He looked carefully and found that the footprints were very solid, and it was obvious that the Phantom Deer had stayed here for quite some time.

Finally, he found suspicious points on the ground not far from his footprints.

"Brother Ouyang, what kind of mushroom is this? Do you know it?" Meng Jingzhe pointed at the root of the tree. The bush had been eaten, leaving a small half of the mushroom root.

Ouyang Dong came over, reached out and dug out the half of the mushroom root and sent it to his nose. After smelling it, he immediately said, "This is the Shengxian Mushroom. It tastes very delicious and is rare to see it at ordinary times."

While speaking, he couldn't help swallowing.

Meng Jingzhe confirmed his eyes and found that this serious Ouyang Dong and Meng Xiaotian were the same type of people, both foodies.

"Suming Fairy Mushroom?" When Meng Jingzhe heard this name, his first reaction was that the mushroom was an amazing spiritual object?

"Shengxian mushrooms are not common, and eating them can make you feel like you are as wafting as an immortal, so they are named Shengxian mushrooms. Whether eaten raw, fried, steamed, and fried, the taste is excellent." Ouyang Dong explained.

He didn't know about the Phantom Deer, but he knew all the food.

Meng Jingzhe nodded and said, "It seems that Phantom Deer also likes to eat it."

Ouyang Dong then said, "But this kind of mushroom is not something to eat."

Meng Jingzhe looked slightly and said, "Since you can't eat it, how do you know it tastes delicious?"

Ouyang Dong showed a fascination on his face and said, "I know it can't be eaten, but there is no way it tastes so delicious."

While speaking, Ouyang Dong's eyes fell on the half of the mushroom root, his expression was entangled and seemed to be thinking about whether to eat the leftovers of the Phantom Deer.

Meng Jingzhe was afraid that he would do something strange, so he took the mushroom from his hand and asked again: "What will happen if you eat this mushroom?"

Ouyang Dong replied without thinking: "It will be endless aftertaste."

His eyes fell on Meng Jingzhe's hand holding the mushroom, and his expression was full of urgency.

Meng Jingzhe:...

Meng Jingzhe simply changed his words: "What are the dangers of eating?"

Ouyang Dong swallowed and said, "It's nothing big. Eating less will cause hallucinations. Eating too much may cause coma, and even more severe may cause death."

After hearing this, Meng Jingzhe raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "It's not a big deal if you can die?"

After hearing this, Ouyang Dong said with a serene expression: "If you taste it, you will not regret it even if you die of eating it."

Meng Jingzhe felt that he was a little stupid at this time, so he turned to say, "If people eat it, something will happen, maybe the same is true for Phantom Deer."

If this happens because of greed, the risk of their capture of the celestial deer will be greatly reduced.

Meng Jingzhe was worried about his sister's condition and just wanted to capture the Phantom Deer as soon as possible. So that the few people could go to the Hantan to pick magical medicine.
