Chapter 12: The First Entry into the Great Wilderness
"It's successful!" Xiao Wu's figure changed between virtual and real, and the person had appeared a few feet away in front of him, coming in an instant, as if there was no time and space to obstruct him, and an illusory figure in the original place was slowly dissipating. Xiao Wu panted, and it seemed easy to move a few feet sideways in one step, but it almost sucked out Xiao Wu's whole body strength, and his aura was exhausted, and he was lying on the ground panting at the moment, the white fox lowered his head and tilted his head to look at Xiao Wu, and after seeing that Xiao Wu was fine, he shook his body and jumped on Xiao Wu's back like a cat and fell asleep after stepping on a few feet.
"Fortunately, the aura is deeper during this time, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to take this step. I didn't expect such a difficult step, and it didn't look very powerful, but my father asked me not to show myself easily. Xiao Wu thought in his heart, if it weren't for the aura breaking through the day before yesterday, I am afraid that he would still fail at this moment.
Xiao Wu rested for a while, regained some strength, turned over, and then sat cross-legged to refine qi, and the white fox who was shaken off screamed dissatisfiedly, and moved to another place to continue sleeping.
When Xiao Wu woke up, it was already night, his aura had recovered a little bit, his body was fine, but his stomach was uncomfortable with hunger. Xiao Wu lit an oil lamp and heated some food, and as soon as the fragrance spread, the white fox who didn't know where to go appeared next to Xiao Wu.
"You gluttonous fox. Xiao Wu nodded at the nose of the white fox, recognizing that the little white fox was angry, and roared and patted. After eating, the white fox entered the room, thinking that it was to sleep, Xiao Wu was not sleepy, and the aura was naturally running without fear of cold nights, so he sat in the courtyard and looked at the sky, and muttered: "Father, I have done what you asked, and I am ready to leave here." ”
It was late at night, but Xiao Wu had no intention of sleeping, and began to pinch the seal over and over again, and every time he tried, he felt that the aura was responding to him in a certain way, but it was too weak, and it seemed to be nothing, which made Xiao Wu very confused, and the mark had been practiced very skillfully, but still didn't find any use, except for that hazy feeling, so that Xiao Wu suspected that he had a delusion. The imprint did not make progress for a while, Xiao Wu took out the broken spear and danced, looking very nondescript, and then fiddled with a few shelves painted in the book.
"A sword breaks through the armor, one goes forward, dies without retreating, and strikes with rest. Xiao Wu silently thought about the words left next to him, his mind condensed, concentrated all his strength, and stabbed a sword in the dark night. Because of the relationship between the sword and the shadow, Xiao Wu prefers swordsmanship, and the big stone in the corner of the small courtyard was moved by Xiao Wu, and Xiao Wu interrupted the gun and pointed directly at the stone, trying to concentrate all his strength, and then stabbed out with a sword.
Poop!
The gold and stone intersected, Xiao Wu looked at the stone that was poked into the corner of the wall, couldn't help pouting, moved it back, and concentrated again......
When the sky was bright, Xiao Wu burned a lot of cooked meat, put a lot of dry food in the storage bag for the road, and then cleaned up for a while. I have to say that the storage bag is a good thing, saving a lot of trouble, and in the end, Xiao Wu left a message on the courtyard wall, he was worried that his parents would not find him when he came back after he left, and informed him of his whereabouts.
"Xiaobai, get up and eat. "Today, Xiaobai rarely stayed in bed and was carried out of the bed by Xiao Wu. "Father told me to put away all the books in the yard and you wait at home for me to come back. ”
Stepping out of the courtyard door, Xiao Wu suddenly thought of something, lowered his head to look for it, and soon, picked up a jade buckle from the soil.
"Luckily I found it. Xiao Wu carefully put it away, and then ran into the distance.
Although he didn't understand his father's intentions, Xiao Wu still did it, and the man asked him to put everything into the cave in the valley where the sword shadow was, or tear it up directly, Xiao Wu thought about going to the valley for a while.
Xiao Wu went out of the city, and it was silvery white outside. Xiao Wu stepped on the snow and ran all the way, as if he was swept through the air, and like a swallow dotting water, leaving only a line of shallow footprints behind him.
There are footprints!
All the way to the valley, Xiao Wu suddenly found a few rows of footprints on the edge of the valley cliff, and immediately hid in the forest and approached carefully. Even though it's winter, some of the plants are still verdant, and it's just right for Komusashi to be in the back.
When he got closer, Xiao Wu listened carefully for a while, and the sound of shoes stepping into the snow came, and looking along the gap in the forest, a team of guards walked by, as if patrolling here.
Xiao Wu waited for a while, and another group of people passed in about half an hour.
What's going on here?
Xiao Wu was very puzzled, thought for a while, Xiao Wu shrank down to the bottom of the cliff, only to find that the valley was filled with a thick black gas, like a dark day, a cold and manic aura filled it, the closer to the middle, the more dense it became, it should be emanating from the pool, and at this moment I couldn't see what the pool looked like. Xiao Wu tentatively touched some black qi, and after confirming that the black qi would not affect him, he walked silently against the cliff wall, walking according to the way he remembered, and soon arrived at the stone wall.
A sword shadow flashed, and Xiao Wu's figure disappeared. The cave was still pitch black, but Xiao Wu quickly adapted to the darkness, followed the road until he reached the stone pillar, stood for a while, found a dry place, and put down a large package behind him.
As before, Xiao Wu left quietly, no one would have thought that a teenager had come here.
The white fox was waiting for Xiao Wu at the door, and he was very happy to see Xiao Wu return safely, and glanced at Nanshan without a trace.
Xiao Wu picked up the fox, touched the soft fur, and said, "Have a good rest today, and we'll leave here tomorrow." ”
Xiao Wu is very reluctant, this is where he grew up. Even if you decide to leave, you want to stay for another day.
Xiao Wu didn't practice this day, just like he had spent a day in the past ten years, watching the sunrise and sunset.
In winter, the room is cold, Xiao Wu likes to put the white fox in his arms, it feels very warm, at first the white fox refused, and then Xiao Wu took advantage of the white fox to fall asleep and hugged it into the bed, when the white fox woke up, he saw that the hair was blown up in the bed, and he shot when he saw Xiao Wu, but it was useless, Xiao Wu just liked to sleep with it, and the white fox also knew that his protest had no effect, so he let Xiao Wu sleep with it, and then later, the white fox was also used to lying in the bed.
When the sun showed slightly, Xiao Wu woke up. Ever since refining qi, Xiao Wu's sleep has become particularly submerged, and he will wake up after some movements, even if the faint sunlight is refracted into the room.
Looking at the white fox in a circle in his arms, as if he was still sleeping, Xiao Wu began to pry his ears and pull his tail, the little white fox slapped it over, changed directions and continued to sleep. Xiao Wu didn't care whether it woke up or not, he directly hugged the white fox out of the bed, and when the cold wind blew, the white fox's body shrank a little.
After eating enough, Xiao Wu and the white fox finally walked out of the ancient city and stepped into the great wilderness.
The great wilderness is endless, there are endless mud poisons, and there are half-man-high barren grasses as far as the eye can see, some are dry, some are green, and the few forests are like stars in the night sky, dotted among them.
The sun sets, and the forest rests.
Xiao Wu has never walked through the Great Wilderness, but he has heard a lot of things about the Great Wilderness.
Originally, there should have been a road, but the earth cracked and nothing remained, and Xiao Wu walked nearly a hundred miles, and he couldn't even see the most common poisonous insects.
"Who is fighting, this land is ruined! Could it be my father? But there seems to be no change on the other side of Nanshan, and so does the inner city. Xiao Wu knew that there were many things that he could not delve into, so he hurried until he encountered the first forest when the Japanese car fell westward, and Xiao Wu found that there were already some poisonous insects. The forest is dangerous, and it is best to spend the night at the edge of the forest and light a fire.
Xiao Wu walked around the forest, packed up a lot of dry firewood, and didn't go in, those who dared to enter the forest in the wilderness were madmen.
As the moon rose, Xiao Wupan sat by a bonfire and closed his eyes to breathe. There was a strange sound, like a rope dragging on the snow, and the occasional crackling sound from the flames just muffled it.
The sound was getting closer and closer, and a snake shadow could already be seen in the moonlight, slowly swimming. The white fox lying on Xiao Wu's lap suddenly raised his head and stared at that place.
Xiao Wu grabbed a handful of snow with his hand, tightened it, and threw it along with the sound, and the snake shadow disappeared into the forest. At this time, Xiao Wu opened his eyes, touched the fox, and said, "There may be an accident tonight, you sleep first, and I will keep it." ”
The fox changed positions on Xiao Wu's lap and closed his eyes again, and Xiao Wu added a few more pieces of dry firewood.
As the night deepened, the darkness between heaven and earth became thicker, the heat from the bonfire seemed to be frozen, and the rustle sounded in the depths of the forest.
Xiao Wu grabbed the broken spear and stared at it as he shook the fox up.
The black shadow slowly approached, and Xiao Wu's heartbeat slowly became faster. A giant snake appeared in front of Xiao Wu, its eyes were the size of a fist, its fangs were like daggers out of its sheath, the scales that reflected the light under the moonlight were like armor wrapping all the dead corners, and the mouth with a fishy smell was slightly open, Xiao Wu suspected that he might not have enough mouthful.
The fox lay on the ground, its limbs pressed as if it were a full bow, ready to catapult itself at any moment.
Xiao Wu held the gun and stared closely at the movements of the giant snake, and his head flashed one thought after another. Hit, it shouldn't be able to hit, if you run, I'm afraid that you will be swallowed by it as soon as you turn around.
Xiao Wu is in a dilemma.
