Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Forest of Valan
The morning fog is long, the ground is still a little cold, the sun is slowly rising, and the air is a little refreshing.
Under the hundred-zhang high city wall, a convoy of dozens of people, armed with soldiers and halberds, looked completely ready to go, but it was fixed under the city and did not move at all.
After about half an hour, a figure about seven feet tall, wearing a hat and a white robe, walked to the front of the convoy.
An old man signaled to the white-robed man, and then the convoy began to move north.
To the north of Heavenly Desolate City is a Valan Forest, and passing through the Valan Forest has always been a taboo for merchants.
First of all, no matter what monsters there will be in this forest, not to mention that few people walk, and even the road needs to be carved out by itself.
Dozens of miles north along the official road, a piece of green wood is towering, and the forest trees are even more primeval.
When you first enter the forest, the path is clearly visible, and the road is becoming more and more diffuse after only nearly 100 meters.
Among them, the shrubs were overgrown, as high as a foot, as if blocking all the roads ahead, and the convoy slowly stopped.
In the hands of the old man led by the convoy, a gossip roulette wheel emerged, and a needle slowly rotated, and finally pointed to the north and south, his eyes were as bright as a sword, and the next moment there was a light shout.
"Cut a path through the bushes over there!"
The order was concise and to the point, and the next moment, ten people in the convoy were holding firewood knives, walking forward, faintly flowing with immortal power, and between the flashes of the knife, more than a foot of bushes were cut off, directly opening up a road.
As the convoy continued, the road became more and more blurred, and the path of the predecessor was almost gone.
On the back of the wind-chasing horse, the old man's face was gloomy, and he cast his eyes on the man wearing a hat not far behind him, and immediately, he turned into a soft sigh.
The immortal source qi between his legs moved, and the old man stood directly on the ground with a light leap.
The gossip roulette wheel in his hand continued to rotate, and during this time, wherever the old man's eyes pointed, there were ten strong men holding firewood knives to cut a path......
After two hours in the forest, the trees became more and more luxuriant, and at last they almost obscured the sun in the sky, and only rays of sunlight shone through the greenery, lighting up the dim forest.
Suddenly, the firewood knife in the hand of the road-opener paused slightly, and there was some uncertainty in the light of his eyes.
The firewood knife in his hand was actually cut empty?
His eyes condensed slightly, and he realized that there was a forest avenue in front of him, the previous bushes had disappeared, and there was an open space at the end of the road.
Everyone returned to the convoy and explained the matter to the old man who was the leader, and a trace of pride came to his heart between the old man's eyebrows.
"Keep going this way!"
The convoy was just about to leave, but a crisp voice stopped, "How can there be such a situation in the Valan Forest, and the road ahead seems to have just opened up, and it is very new." ”
"Don't you think it's strange?"
The faint words pierced the old man's heart like a sharp needle, "I'm an elder of the Qin family, am I not as good as you kid!?"
Between the words, there was a faint rebuke.
Under the hat of the white-robed man, a beautiful face was raised slightly, looking at the old man in front of him who did not listen to dissuasion, and did not say much.
If things happen, the old man won't turn back......
As the convoy continued to move forward, it was not until it reached the end of the road that it had walked hundreds of meters on, and at this moment there were options.
At the end of the road, in that open space, there are five points in different directions.
On the far left, the road was paved with gravel, with tumbleweeds growing on it, and a desert appeared in the middle of a Valan forest.
In the second road, there is a red maple on the road, and there are fallen leaves falling from time to time, a cool autumn scene.
On the road in the middle, there were potholes, and there was muddy water in them, like a rainstorm stopped.
And the last path, as usual, is the same as this Valan's Forest, as if alluding to this path.
The five roads were different, and the old man was a little hesitant for a while, and after his eyes stopped on the road on the right, his eyes were no longer moved.
The convoy began to move slowly down the road, weaving trees along the way.
"How do these roads feel so familiar?"
It was about another hour ahead, and someone in the convoy seemed to be muttering.
However, this sentence did not attract anyone's attention, and the convoy continued to move forward, and about half an hour later, the tall bushes that had been cut down on both sides of the road came into view.
Immediately, there was an exclamation.
"Are we really going round and round?"
"These bushes were cut down by us, what else could they be but spin in circles!"
You keep slamming the old man's heart, if you hadn't rushed forward yourself, how could you have wasted so much time?
Looking up at the sky, the sun was already shining overhead, and it was already noon.
If they go around this forest any longer, I'm afraid they won't be able to find an exit!
There is a thought set in my heart, the old man has a hundred songs, and motions to everyone to go one by one, if this road can't go out, go the second, and if the second can't go, the third.
In this case, the gossip roulette also seems to be ineffective, and it can only go all the way to the dark.
Entering the desert avenue, the air of desolation blew on everyone's faces, and gradually someone seemed to notice the loss of water in the body, and the body became dry.
......
In the past three hours, everyone returned to the bushes again, but at this moment, all of them were exhausted, and their eyes wanted to close at any time, it was the fairy beast that claimed to be able to travel 100,000 miles a day, the wind chasing horse, and at this moment its limbs trembled slightly, as if it was crumbling.
Among the dozens of people, the one who is quite calm, I'm afraid it is the old man and the white-robed man on another horse chasing the wind.
At this time, the old man's eyes were also slightly draped, and Cangmai's voice also revealed a trace of fatigue.
"Young Master, what should we do now?" the old man slowly saluted the white-robed man.
Under the hat, on the delicate face, there is still the light and breezy state, and it is still the indifference of the young man of the Qin family.
A long time ago, the state of affairs that went around and around to return to the original point made the young man feel quite confused, so he used the Nine Dao Tricks to attract the qi of the immortal forest, and when he was about to fight, a hidden path unexpectedly appeared in front of him.
As if he was dazzled, the immortal qi stopped, the scene in front of him suddenly recovered, and then the immortal qi operated, and the hidden road resurfaced again.
After a few times, Qin Hao seemed to notice that under that empty ground, there were unusually majestic immortal qi fluctuations, which was ...... veins?
"I wonder if the elder has ever heard of the Immortal Illusion Stone?"
"Isn't that the stone recorded in the book?" the old man stopped talking, and a touch of horror appeared on his face, "That is a high-grade spirit stone in the mortal realm that contains majestic immortal energy, and the reason why this stone is called an immortal illusion stone is also because it can produce illusions, so that people who appear nearby are in illusions." ”
"Wait!"
"Young Master, what do you mean...... Are we in the illusion of the Immortal Stone now?"
