Brother Kun's legs really couldn't continue walking, and the others had to wait in place until daytime.

When the sun illuminated the earth again, Brother Kun's legs and Zhang Lan's hands were repairing at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye, and tender flesh quickly grew in the blood hole on Brother Kun's legs, and the surface was still quickly scabbed.

Zhang Lantian stared at her right index finger expectantly as soon as she was bright, hoping that it would grow back, but unfortunately, the severed finger on her hand only quickly stopped the bleeding and grew new skin, and did not regenerate a finger as she imagined.

Zhang Lan looked at her hands, the expression on her face slowly changed from expectation to doubt, and then she couldn't help but squat on the ground and start sobbing. Ji Chen walked to her side and just wanted to comfort her, but she immediately turned around and yelled at Ji Chen: "Get out, liar!"

Ji Chen was embarrassed to stay in place, and at this moment he looked at Zhang Lan's back squatting on the ground crying, and suddenly felt an urge in his heart to rush over and take her into his arms.

But this was just an impulse, and Ji Chen quickly suppressed this impulse. He silently turned around and put his hands in his trouser pockets, then looked at the sky in the distance in a daze.

Li Xue walked over and sat down next to Zhang Lan, the two hugged each other, and after a while, Zhang Lan's mood finally eased a little. Ji Chen glanced at her with her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then glanced at him resentfully, but Ji Chen had to pretend not to see it.

Brother Kun's injuries were more serious, and even after a full day of recovery at that terrifying recovery speed, he still couldn't walk.

Everyone had to wait in place for another day, Ji Chen dug a small pit in the grass and built a small fire on it, because there are not many materials on the grassland that can make a fire, so it has to be burned economically. Then several people kept guarding Brother Kun until his leg was fully recovered.

After another day, Brother Kun's leg had basically healed, so several people accelerated and continued to move forward, and it took two more days to rush to the foothills.

It took two days because they found that the closer they got to the foothills, the more numerous and widespread the swamps. They had to walk like a blind man, exploring the path with sticks, and there were many detours in the process.

But fortunately, several people finally reached the foot of the mountain safely.

Directly in front of the peaks was a smaller river that meandered into the distance and finally merged into a main stream that flowed into the same blue lake they had passed. At the foot of the mountain where they were, in addition to a river in the middle, there was a larger river on the left, but Ji Chen, who was flowing from it, didn't know exactly where it flowed down.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, everyone could not see the specific situation in this mountain, only the very dense vegetation growing everywhere on the mountain. It's similar to the forest they encountered when they first came to the island, except that it's very steep.

It is conceivable how difficult it is to climb such a high mountain, there is no road inside, and the terrain is steep, and the most important thing is that there must be many unknown creatures inside.

Despite this, several people had no choice but to take risks and climb to the top.

They arranged according to the old method, Brother Kun and Zhang Yue took the lead and walked in front, Ji Chen and Sun Jian walked last, and the girl was in the middle.

Part of the slope at the foot of the mountain is not particularly steep, so it is not particularly difficult for them to walk. Occasionally, I would see some strange animals, and I could even faintly hear some animals spitting out a few words, but fortunately, none of them attacked a few people.

Being active in the mountain woods is obviously more advantageous at night than during the day, and the increased sensitivity and reflexes of the body make them more comfortable dealing with many conditions on the mountain.

By the time they reached almost a third of the mountain, the fog had already begun to fill and everything around them began to blur. The crowd had no choice but to reduce their speed and focus more on guarding their surroundings.

Ji Chen and the others sometimes need to hold a tree to barely move forward, and when there is no tree to hold, they can only climb forward by pulling the grass on the ground, and sometimes they even have to climb the rock, the whole process is very difficult.

When they passed a small grove, there were all very thin trees growing there, with many intricate branches, and under the trees there were many knee-high weeds.

Several people grabbed the trunk or branches according to their previous habits, but when Ji Chen passed by a thicket of grass, he subconsciously grabbed the surrounding branches, but as he grabbed it, Ji Chen actually felt the branches in his hand move!

He quickly let go of his hand and jumped back, poked his head out and looked at the branch carefully, and found that it was not much different from the normal branch. Just when Ji Chen was a little confused, Ji Chen saw that the branch suddenly rose a little, and a symmetrical branch moved out of the fork next to it.

Ji Chen looked down and couldn't help but shout.

Under the grass stood a snow-white fox, with long pointed ears, and a strange red in the corners of his eyes. Ji Chen saw that it was looking at him curiously with wide eyes, and behind it there was a tail more than two meters long that kept writhing like a white snake. And the branches that Ji Chen had just seen actually grew on its back, like a pair of antlers, and also like a pair of skeleton-like wings, spreading out to be two meters wide and more than one meter high, larger than its body.

The people in front were attracted by Ji Chen's shout, and they all ran towards him with nervous and puzzled expressions.

As Brother Kun and the others approached, the animal should have felt frightened, so it suddenly got up and ran to the side.

The animal sprang up from the ground, and the other people who were rushing were startled, and when they looked closely, they all realized that the fox did not seem to be an ordinary fox.

Ji Chen looked at the back of the fox, and suddenly remembered something, where he seemed to have seen it.

His brain was running fast to recall, and after a while, Ji Chen suddenly slapped the back of his right hand on the palm of his left hand, and then said to everyone excitedly: "I remember! This animal is the legendary Chenghuang!"

Zhang Yue scratched his head and asked, "What orange?"

Ji Chen added: "It's not a color, it's a kind of divine beast in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. The original text seems to say, 'There is a beast that rides yellow, its shape is like a fox, and its back has horns, and it lives for 2,000 years'. That is to say, as long as you can sit on its back, you can have an extra 2,000 years of life out of thin air! According to legend, it seems to be the mount of the Demon Emperor Dijun. ”

Before Ji Chen's words fell, Zhang Yue immediately grabbed his collar and asked in a trembling voice, "What did you say?"

Ji Chen was a little dazed by his excited appearance, and asked rhetorically, "What?"

Zhang Yue looked at Ji Chen with eager eyes and asked, "Can you really have an extra two thousand years of life?!"

Ji Chen said casually: "Of course, it is clearly recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas". ”

Before Ji Chen's words were finished, Zhang Yue immediately ran away, Ji Chen quickly reached out and grabbed him, and asked puzzledly, "What are you doing!"

Zhang Yue said with a solemn expression: "I'm going to chase it!"

Ji Chen's mind didn't turn for a while, he grabbed Zhang Yue and thought about it for a long time before he understood what Zhang Yue wanted to do.

"You're sick in the head, are you crazy? Ji Chen shouted at him.

Who knew that Zhang Yue smiled and said: "Heh, if it was before I came in, of course I didn't believe it, but after I got here, I believed it, you let go!"

Ji Chen looked into his eyes and asked, "You also want to live forever?"

Zhang Yue suddenly lowered his head to avoid Ji Chen's gaze and whispered, "You don't understand." ”

Ji Chen was about to ask him what he didn't understand, but Zhang Yue suddenly broke free of Ji Chen's hand and quickly ran in the direction where Huang had just escaped.

Brother Kun next to him saw Zhang Yue running over, and immediately rushed to chase after him, Ji Chen only reacted after seeing Brother Kun chasing after him, and immediately threw off his legs to follow.

The rest of the people saw that the three of them had run over, and in desperation, they all chased after them.
