Chapter 988: Avalanche
"Yes," the village chief echoed, "we are all very hard, and besides, he is the only one in the village who knows the way there, and no one else knows." ”
Wu Song thought for a while and said, "Then tomorrow I will check the pulse of Brother Xi, if there is really no problem, then the outside will set off tomorrow." ”
That night, everyone returned happy, and Wu Song and his party spent the night in the ancestral hall in the village.
The next morning, Wu Song checked the pulse of Brother Xi, and the result was indeed no big problem, Brother Xi riveted his hand again, and Wu Song had to agree.
When the sun had risen, the people set out.
The people of the village came to see them off, and they were sent all the way to the entrance of the village.
Xi Que also wanted to go, but was resolutely persuaded by Brother Xi to go back, and Wu Song did not agree with her going. It's actually a bit dangerous to go, and it's really inappropriate for a little girl to go along.
According to Brother Xi's memory, that place was in a valley fifty miles away in the northwest corner of the village.
If it is a plain area, then it can be walked in about fifty miles and two hours. However, the roads in the mountains are rough, and such a distance can take a day.
By noon, they came to a small hill and decided to rest there for a while.
Before entering Ruli Mountain, it was still mid-autumn outside, and the weather was not too cold. And now, the mountain they are in, the top of the nearby mountain, has accumulated a thick layer of snow.
The temperature became extremely low, too, and there was some meaning of winter.
Fortunately, Brother Xi is very experienced, and when he set off, he took this situation into account and prepared cotton clothes for everyone.
The people ate dry food, rested for a while, and then continued on their way.
As evening approached, they always made it to their destination.
The valley was not large, and the end could be seen at a glance. On one side of the valley, there are many caves, where the lair of demon beasts is located.
On the ground near the cave, there were many corpses of monsters.
Even in the cold mountains, Wu Song could still smell a faint rancid smell, from which it could be inferred that those demon beasts had been dead for a long time.
Some scavengers landed next to the carcass, devouring the carrion.
Wu Song came closer and carefully examined the corpses.
From the scars on the corpses, he could immediately see that those corpses were either injured by the sword or by the invisible sword qi.
Those who can do this must be a monk who has cultivated to a high level. It seems that the villagers' guess is right, and the one who killed these demon beasts should be the monks of the Dharma Sect.
But the problem is that the extermination of these demon beasts happened many days ago, and now those Dharma monks must no longer be nearby, so how to find them?
Wu Song looked at the corpse in front of him and fell into deep thought, and Brother Xi walked over, "Shaoxia, have you found the person you are looking for?"
Wu Song nodded, "The matter here should be done by the monks of the Dharma Sect, but they have already left." ”
"So, you have to find a way to find them, don't you?" said Brother Xi thoughtfully.
"Yes, do you have any suggestions?" Wu Song looked at Brother Xi, the other party was born and raised in Si, maybe he would have any useful suggestions.
"You said before that you were looking for a group of people," Brother Xi muttered, "If that's the case, then maybe I'll have some way." Living in the mountains is no better than living on the plains, and you can only live in a flat place.
In the mountains, finding a suitable place to live, especially for a large group of people, needs to consider many factors, such as the direction of the mountain, the sun and the sun.
So, starting from these aspects, you may be able to find them. ”
"Then there's Brother Lao. Wu Song was overjoyed and bowed his hand.
"Where," Brother Xi said with a smile, "you have a life-saving grace for me, these things are what I should do, no need to be polite." ”
Brother Xi climbed a high mountain rock next to him and looked around.
While watching, he silently calculated in his heart, considering various factors, where was the most likely place to live.
About a quarter of an hour later, Brother Xi came down.
He came to Wu Song and pointed to the north, "I just looked, it is the most likely place to live, we can go in that direction and try to find it." ”
"Okay, then we'll go there. Wu Song made a decision.
The group continued on the road and headed north.
After walking more than ten miles, they clearly felt that the temperature had become colder, and the snow was getting thicker and thicker on the nearby mountains.
They were walking deeper into the mountains, and because of the towering mountains, the temperature was getting lower and lower.
After another hour, scattered snowflakes fell in the sky.
At this time, they were walking on a huge hillside.
In the upper part of the slope, there is a thick layer of snow.
They walked in the lower part, and the ground was loose with stones, which were frozen hard because of the ice.
As they were walking, a muffled voice rang out from somewhere.
The group looked at each other, Wu Song frowned, and looked at Brother Xi, "Brother, what's going on?"
Brother Xi looked at the top of the hillside, his face turned pale, and he trembled, "Oh no, it's ... Be... Avalanche!"
Wu Song didn't know what the avalanche meant, he followed Brother Xi's line of sight. I saw that the layer of snow on the top of the hillside above everyone's heads, like a tidal wave, rushed towards Wu Song and them.
Wu Song's heartbeat suddenly became a line, if this was drowned by this snow, then they would be dead and alive.
In an instant, Wu Song's mind was racing, thinking about how to save everyone.
He can spread his flaming wings and fly into the air, but he can only bring up to three people. And now there are six of them, that is, three more will be swallowed by the snow.
Therefore, Wu Song was reluctant to do so as a last resort.
He looked around and suddenly saw a stone four or five meters high more than ten meters away from them.
Wu Song shouted, "Everyone run to that stone and hide behind it!"
And when they heard this, they all ran to thence.
Wu Song spread his flame wings, soared into the air, picked up Yun Rong, and flew behind the big rock.
He put Yun Rong on the ground, then turned and flew back to see if anyone else had come.
At this time, among the others, Gangfeng stayed at the end, in case someone pulled behind. Run the wolf Yang Shuang in the front, and Brother Xi will be behind.
Wu Song spread his wings and landed beside Gangfeng, "You go quickly!"
Gangfeng nodded and turned to leave.
The surging snow had come to a place more than half a mile away from Wu Song, and the wind brought up by the snow blew on Wu Song's forehead, and some snow hit Wu Song's face.
Wu Song turned his head to see that the wolf and Yang Shuang had already run behind the boulder, and Gangfeng ran to Brother Xi's side, grabbed his arm, and ran forward with him.
Suddenly, Brother Xi stumbled and fell to the ground. Gangfeng squatted down in front of Brother Xi, fiddling with something on the ground.
Wu Song was startled, he spread his wings and landed beside Brother Xi and Gangfeng, "What's wrong?"
"Stuck!" said Gang Feng anxiously.
Wu Song looked down and saw that there was a crack in the ground, and Brother Xi's left foot was stuck in it.
Wu Song said to Gangfeng, "You go first, there is me here." ”
Gangfeng didn't give in, turned around and ran behind the boulder.
Wu Song turned into a Yuanli long sword in his hand, pierced it into the side of the crack, slashed to the side, and chopped a stone.
"Okay, Brother Xi, you try to pull your feet out!" Wu Song said to Brother Xi.
Brother Xi tried to twitch his left leg, and his face immediately showed a painful look, "No, I can't pull it out, it seems that something is dragging me inside." ”
"What?" Wu Song's heart sank.
He looked up behind him, and the surging snow had come to more than twenty meters away, like a group of fierce beasts, rushing towards it with the momentum of destroying the world.
In the blink of an eye, Wu Song and Brother Xi will be buried by the snow.
Wu Song hurriedly looked down at Brother Xi's left foot, the crack that stuck his left foot, Wu Song had indeed made it big enough, and it was supposed to be able to be pulled out.
Wu Song gently lifted Brother Xi's left foot, and saw that there was a blood-red silk thread on the sole of his left foot, entangled around his left foot.
Wu Song immediately realized that it was a demon beast.
He swung his dragon-eating sword and stabbed into the blood-red thread.
The thread immediately trembled, as if feeling great pain.
However, at this moment, the surging snow swooped over violently, drowning Wu Song and Brother Xi.
Wu Song hurriedly ran the Feng Ming Jue, expanded the flame wings on his back, and surrounded himself and Brother Xi, hoping to use this to resist the snow.
At first, the two were completely submerged in snow. Under the scorching flame wings of Wu Song, the snow around him began to melt, and it didn't take long for it to melt completely.
Then, Wu Song saw an extremely shocking scene.
At a distance of two meters from him, three people stood. The three of them stood side by side, their hands stretched out together, and a purple light emanated from their hands.
Three purple rays of light came together to form a purple wall of light.
As soon as the rushing snow hit the purple wall of light, it was impossible to move forward.
Wu Song sensed a powerful force from the bodies of the three of them, and that kind of power was not something that a person would have, but a formation.
The three of them are casting a powerful formation to resist the great forces of nature.
After about a quarter of an hour, the snow rushing down from the top of the hillside completely stopped, and the three of them slowly collected their exercises.
They turned around and looked at Wu Song.
The three of them were all dressed in the same way, wearing moon-white robes, and on the chest of the robe, Xiuzhen had a portrait of a golden light on his head.
All three are of average age, and they all look to be middle-aged in their thirties.
Wu Song retracted the flame wings, just now his Yuanli long sword had already stabbed the demon beast that grabbed Brother Xi's left foot, at this time, he helped Brother Xi up.
Then, Wu Song bowed to the three of them, "Three masters, in Xia Wu Song, thanks to the three of us just now, otherwise we would have died under this avalanche at this time." Dare to ask the names of the three masters?"
