Blood Mountains, said like that, is actually not because there are many mountains with blood or so on, but only a few small mountains in the forest. The trees in this forest are not blood red either, it's the same as most forests. However, after Jian Chen entered the forest, he immediately felt a stuffy feeling and a silent atmosphere along the way.
Maybe because the trees were so tall, the sunlight in the sky couldn't penetrate to the ground, making the forest dark. Coupled with the absence of wind and hot air, this forest can make anyone feel uncomfortable.
With so many tall trees and so many small plants growing in abundance, it also made it a little difficult for the three of them to find their way. But strangely, Bai Shen who was walking in front seemed to have determined his direction, and walked without stopping.
Jian Chen was a little suspicious when he saw him and couldn't help but ask, "Bai Shen, isn't this your first time coming here?"
As he continued walking and without looking back, Bai Shen casually answered, "Silver Grass only grows once a year. The first time I harvested it, I went with my Master."
"Teacher? Do you have a teacher?"
Bai Shen didn't answer, and continued walking.
Not getting an answer, Jian Chen also did not continue to ask. The purpose of asking was to confirm, did Bai Shen know the way? Because her answered that her had come here with his teacher, that already answered the question.
As for who his teacher was, Jian Chen didn't really care and preferred to look at Su Mei who since the beginning of the forest, she had never spoken, but very often turned her head in various directions.
"Su Mei, are you okay?"
Su Mei shook her head gently and hesitated before replying, “I don't know, it's just that, I don't seem to be very comfortable since entering this forest.”
"Why? What's wrong?" Jian Chen couldn't help but worry about Su Mei's state.
Su Mein shook her head again. "I'm not sure. It's just that something always bothers me."
"This forest is not an ordinary forest. There are many strange things and dangers that are always lurking. If you are not careful, you might soon be in trouble." Bai Shen, who heard the conversation between the two, immediately explained from the front.
After Bai Shen finished explaining, Jian Chen who was behind suddenly also frowned, and immediately stopped Bai Shen's steps.
Stopped by Jian Chen suddenly, Bai Shen stared at him sharply and annoyedly asked, "What are you doing? Your actions just now almost made me hit you?"
Jian Chen didn't care about Bai Shen's facial appearance or ramblings, he only lowered his head slightly, looking at a green vine, which was hidden by other plants beneath it with a careful glance.
"Brother Chen, what happened?" seeing Jian Chen's sudden action, Su Mei was the one who felt curious and asked.
When he heard Su Mei's question, Jian Chen felt happy when she asked and immediately pointed his finger towards the plant. "Look at this."
Su Mei looked at the plant that Jian Chen was pointing at, and discovered that it was just an ordinary vine. Completely ordinary without any strangeness, perhaps with no leaves from the plant, that's the strangeness, but still, the plant is the same as vines in general.
"Aren't those just ordinary vines?" Su Mei asked a little confused.
Jian Chen shook his head and replied, “This plant does look ordinary, but it is also not ordinary at all.”
After saying that, Jian Chen took out a piece of cloth from his body, and touched using the cloth. When touched by something, the three of them finally saw something strange.
The stems of the vines that were originally green suddenly turned red. After changing color, there were also small thorns that appeared on the part that Jian Chen touched.
"Brother Chen, what kind of plant is thathow can it change color and emit thorns?"
Jian Chen who had taken some of the plants stood up, showing the now slightly dried plants to Su Mei and Bai Shen.
"I forgot the name. But from what I read before, this plant has poison in its body."
"Is it dangerous?" Su Mei asked.
“If you say it is dangerous to humans, it is actually not that much,” Jian Chen replied before continuing, “This color change is an alarm for anyone who touches itthere is nothing in the color change, but these small spines are dangerous. It contains poison that you can't possibly want."
"What kind of poison is that?" Su Mei, who knew nothing about this plant, was curious, and continued to ask.
"If you touch these thorns, you will experience an extremely hot and itchy feeling together. Even though you are in Qi Training, the poison will continue to work and make you hot as if on fireplus the itching that won't go away for two days and two nights, I'm not sure your skin will remain intact. Moreover, this poison can only be cured if you ask for help from a Ling Qi practitioner."
"Disgusting..." Su Mei suddenly retreated some back and shuddered after hearing Jian Chen's explanation.
Just feeling hot is already very uncomfortable, especially with the feeling of itching for two days and two nights. Thinking about if that happened to herself, where she would always be scratching her body for two whole days, it couldn't help but make Su Mei afraid.
In contrast to Su Mei who believed Jian Chen's words completely, Bai Shen from earlier only gave a look of disdain and snorted coldly. Clearly very disbelieving of what Jian Chen said.
Jian Chen only smiled when he saw Bai Shen as if he didn't believe it. Then smiled playfully, and pointed the plant at Bai Shen.
"If you don't believe it, you can try it yourself. At first touch, maybe you won't feel anything, but after the poison spreads throughout the body, I'm afraid you'll ruin that beauty with your little hands."
Bai Shen snorted and still gave Jian Chen a look of disdain, but her had no intention of touching him, and only sneered, “Don't talk. You know everything. I know more than you, moreover I have also studied medicine and plants for many years . You may be able to deceive others, but you will not be able to deceive me!"
Regarding Bai Shen's sneer, Jian Chen didn't speak and simply passed the piece of plant in his hand towards her.
In front of him, Bai Shen only continued to look at Jian Chen with disdain for some time, but clearly, her never intended to take it, let alone try it for herself.
"Humph!"
In the end, Bai Shen just snorted coldly, and walked towards his original destination. It's just that, as her walked, she circled the vines on the ground.
Although the woman did not believe Jian Chen's words, it seemed that she still did not want to take any chances.
Seeing Bai Shen like that, Jian Chen just smiled and said nothing. While Su Mei who was by his side believed, and suddenly said, "Brother Chen, I believe what you said."
"That's how it should be." Jian Chen said while smiling and stroking Su Mei's hair happily when the girl finally spoke.
Perhaps Bai Shen didn't completely believe his words, but Jian Chen was telling the truth. This plant was indeed in a book he had studied in the library some time ago, he also never lied in what he said.
With this discovery, Jian Chen also suddenly had a plan in his head, especially after walking for quite a long time and finding many kinds of plants like at the beginning. And of course, when he found a unique plant or flower, he would pick it up and explain it to Su Mei, regardless of whether Bai Shen believed it or not.
What Jian Chen did was not merely to impart knowledge to Su Mei, but he had other plans in mind.
