After the negotiation, Chiba Xue and the thin old man left Hu Huilin's villa and returned to the hotel.

The next day, Zhang Qian woke up from his meditation, it was already more than ten o'clock in the morning, and Xia Yeqing was cultivating in his room.

And Chenghuang disappeared yesterday, and I don't know where to go to forage for food.

Zhang Qian got up and got out of bed, and after a simple wash, he left the hotel, not disturbing Xia Yeqing's cultivation, but stopped the car alone and drove towards the Beihai Sea.

This time, the place he went to was not Silver Beach, but a big mountain near Beihai City, near the sea.

After the car drove to the side of the road at the foot of the mountain, it was impossible to continue forward, Zhang Qian got out of the car and walked towards the mountain alone.

Yesterday, when he and Xia Yeqing inquired about the news of the firebird, they heard a family say that there was something strange in this mountain.

There was a mountain in it, and whatever it was went in and never came out again.

I don't know why, according to the description of the residents who have lived in this neighborhood for generations, it is said that hundreds of years ago, the mountain inside this mountain was very strange, no matter who walked into the mountain, never came out again.

Therefore, the residents in the vicinity are particularly taboo about that mountain, but there are always some people in this world who do not believe in evil, and in the last fifty or sixty years, dozens of people have climbed that mountain, but none of them have come out.

They also called official people to investigate, but they couldn't find out what the cause was.

The official explanation is that there is a fog on the top of that mountain, which makes it easy for people to get lost in it, and it can also affect people's consciousness, so that people can't find their way and can't get out.

Zhang Qian felt the need to go to that mountain to take a look, after all, this phenomenon was definitely abnormal.

On that mountain, there is either some formation that traps people inside, or there are some very powerful creatures that use that mountain as its territory, attacking all beings who dare to break into its territory.

If there is a powerful life, the lifespan of that life is at least several hundred years old, after all, this situation has been appearing since hundreds of years ago.

Zhang Qian hoped that there was really some powerful life on that mountain, in this case, it was possible that the Xuanniao was hiding in it, because a Xuanniao had a lifespan of at least five hundred years.

Therefore, Zhang Qiancai came here today on purpose, just to try his luck and see if he could find the Xuanniao in that mountain.

When Zhang Qian got out of the car and entered the mountain, it was about twelve o'clock at noon, and he walked in the mountain for almost a whole afternoon, and at about six o'clock in the evening, when the sky was about to get dark, he finally found the strange mountain that others said.

The characteristic of that hill was that it was very large, very tall, at least twice as large and at least half as tall as the surrounding hills, and was surrounded by four hills that were slightly lower than it.

Moreover, the trees on the top of that mountain are particularly vigorous, and the whole mountain is green, and the trees are a little abnormally luxuriant, because normal trees cannot be vigorous to that extent.

At this time, half of the sun's body had fallen into the ground, and the blood-like sunset was in full swing, dyeing half of the sky red.

Looking up, the heavens and the earth seemed to be connected, and the mountains, like tombs, looked extremely depressing under the half-dim, half-blood-red sky.

If you are an ordinary person, you must think that you are not in the mountains at this moment, but in the graves.

However, Zhang Qian, unaffected by the external environment, looked as usual, and walked towards the strange green mountain not far ahead.

The pace is steady, not slow, walking through the mountains, walking in normal times, no different.

About half an hour later, Zhang Qian stood at the foot of the strange mountain, looking at the mountain in front of him, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and a trace of doubt appeared on his face.

"It's strange, how can such a big mountain be completely wrapped in a layer of energy barriers? Who is so idle and consuming so much mana to do such a boring thing?" Zhang Qian thought to himself.

It is really not an easy task to completely wrap such a large mountain with a layer of energy barriers.

With Zhang Qian's current cultivation, to do this, it will take at least half a year, constantly using the true yuan to gradually improve the energy barrier, and finally wrap the entire mountain.

But what's the point of doing that?

Zhang Qian was a little puzzled, he didn't know who was so boring, doing this kind of completely meaningless thing, if he wanted to prevent others from going up this mountain, a formation, he could completely do it.

Why do such a thankless task?

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Qian didn't bother to think about it so much, and walked straight to the mountain in front of him.

But it didn't take long for Zhang Qian to stop again and stand in a special position at the foot of the mountain, that is, the junction between the foot of the mountain and the mountain.

One step further, even if he officially set foot on this mountain, but this step, Zhang Qian never took it.

Because, he sensed that there was a powerful energy fluctuation here, and as soon as he stepped in, he would enter the range of this energy shroud.

And this energy fluctuation is relatively strong, Zhang Qian doesn't dare to enter it easily, with his current cultivation, if he can't figure out the principle of this energy barrier, once he enters, he is very likely to not be able to get out.

Because of his current True Yuan Force, he can't forcibly break this energy barrier, and he can only come out after figuring out the principle and finding the weak point of this energy barrier.

Where, before he knew what this energy barrier was, Zhang Qian would never dare to venture into it.

He didn't want to be trapped in this mountain like the others, unable to get out.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qian retreated to the foot of the mountain again, secretly thinking that the reason why those people couldn't get out of this mountain was probably because of this energy barrier, which trapped them inside.

Because ordinary people and ordinary creatures are unable to perceive the existence of this energy barrier, only their immortal cultivators, or warlocks with mana, can perceive it.

However, this layer of energy barrier is a little strange, Zhang Qian can detect that this layer of energy barrier is definitely not condensed with true yuan power.

Instead, it is condensed with other kinds of energy, and it seems that it is a bit like the five elements spiritual power that is several levels lower than the true element, as well as the yin and yang spiritual power, in short, it is very strange.

Zhang Qian was still unsure what kind of energy body it was, which was why he was so cautious.

If it was the condensation of the True Yuan, he would not be so careful, then he would definitely be able to unlock the defensive energy array left by the Immortal Cultivator.
