Chapter 8 The Black Forest
The journey of three hundred miles is not close, and it is not much closer than Fu Kai's return from the Jinyun Mountain Range. Fu Kai, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, returned to Lujiang Town from the Jinyun Mountains and walked alone for half a month. But on the three-hundred-mile road to the Black Forest, Fu Kai only took seven days to reach his destination. The reason is that I am anxious, worried that someone else will take the exercises first.
In the originally endless wilderness land, because of the encouragement of the Hong family, the long road of 300 miles has almost turned into a lively market. Groups of people chatting and walking, some eagerly looking forward to it, some playing soy sauce to join in the fun, there are very few people like Fu Kai who are alone.
Everyone understands that this is a trip full of danger and hope, whether it is the family affairs of Miss Hong, or the thousand-year-old jade cicada ginseng and the exercises that can make anyone become a monk, they are all fanatical topics and goals worth working for. So along the way, all Fu Kai heard in his ears was the discussion of how to get those three things.
Fu Kai is only sixteen years old this year, and he has always felt that he is too young and naïve. It was only at this time, hearing the conversations of those around him who didn't understand risk at all, that Fu Kai felt that he was very mature.
Something like now, ostensibly the daughter of the Hong family can't get married, so find a show for everyone to help sell it. But in fact, as long as you are not kicked in the head by a donkey, you know that there must be an ulterior conspiracy. It's just that under the premise of no news, Fu Kai can't think of what is going on in the middle for the time being, and what kind of gameplay the Hong family wants to play.
A black line can already be seen in front of you, and that is the outer edge of the Black Forest. It's still far away, so you can only see the black lines that stretch infinitely on both sides. Just half a day's walk and you'll really reach the edge of the Black Forest.
Fu Kai had never been to the Black Forest, and he didn't know how terrifying it was. It's just that I heard from others that the Black Forest is full of black towering trees, and you can't see the light of day in it. It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that you can't see your fingers, but if you describe it as dark, it shouldn't be much worse.
When he was in the Spirit Law Gate, Fu Kai also heard about the Black Forest from his uncle Fu Xiaoyu. According to Fu Xiaoyu's description, the Black Forest is full of crises. Especially for monks and mortals below the Spirit Mist Realm, any little demon inside is enough to make people go and never return. What's more, the dangers inside are not limited to this, such as ordinary beasts, poisons, miasma, and various attacks formed by violent spirits, each of which can easily kill people.
Thinking of this, Fu Kai also had to raise his awareness of self-protection a few levels and become more cautious.
From a distance, the Black Forest was just an endless black line, and when I got closer, I realized what kind of place it was. Giant trees in a jumble of trees, each with no vertex in sight. The ground is a thick layer of dead branches and leaves that have accumulated for many years, and as soon as you step on it, you feel like you are standing on the clouds, and you have completely lost the ease of being down-to-earth. Some unknown snakes and insects are burrowing in and out, and from time to time various beasts are seen vying for food, completely oblivious to the arrival of humans. The only thing that is still a little pleasing to the eye is that there are a lot of wild flowers that have never been seen before, blooming in a variety of colors.
Fu Kai understands that these seemingly beautiful wildflowers only show beauty in the eyes of ordinary people. In the eyes of people like Fu Kai, who have been dealing with elixir and poisonous herbs since childhood, most of them are poisons that can be touched and died.
Not long after Fu Kai entered the Black Forest, he witnessed a few overly romantic people, reaching out to pick those wildflowers that bloomed brilliantly, and thus fell to the ground and died in an instant.
If it weren't for the fact that there were so many people acting together, I believe that if there was no need to go on, many people would have retreated.
The Black Forest is also true to its reputation, and the further you go inside, the darker the light becomes. By the time we had entered the city, it was as dark as night. The sky was blocked by the dense foliage, and the fog rising from the forest obscured the sight of the people, making it even more difficult to see everything in front of them.
Fu Kai couldn't estimate how many people participated in the treasure hunt this time, but the people from the three cities and four places combined, I think there will be no less than a thousand. When he first entered the Black Forest, he could still see a figure swaying in the distance, and when he entered the land of half a mile, Fu Kai found that there was only one person left.
There are not many people who have really been to the Black Forest, and I believe that most of them are like Fu Kai, the first time the bride sat in a sedan chair! So after entering the Black Forest, even if you can see it, you can only rely on it, not to mention that you can't see anything at all now, you can only rely on luck to win.
At this time, Fu Kai couldn't take care of it so much, so he could only walk inside step by step, and only God knows if there was a harvest in the end.
"Third uncle, you take a team of people to go over there, evil wind, you take a team of people to go straight, I will take the rest of the people to the left, if there is any news, use sound birds and fireworks to notify everyone."
Just when Fu Kai was walking a little dizzy, not far in front of him, a young man's voice came. This was followed by the sound of a group of people responding, and then the chaotic footsteps moving away in three different directions.
Fu Kai only pondered for a while, and immediately turned to the left. Since the opponent is a multi-person team, the security will definitely be higher. Rather than rushing blindly by yourself, it is better to secretly follow this group of people, maybe there will be an unexpected harvest is undecided, Hengzhi himself is fishing in troubled waters, even if he does not encounter good news, at least there is more assurance in safety, which is also good.
There is another reason, the other party is very likely to have a map provided by the Hong family. If this is the case, for Fu Kai, it is a hitchhike.
After Fu Kai made up his mind, he immediately followed the group of people on the left without hesitation, and slowly hung on the other party's buttocks.
In such an environment, no one can care about anyone until things appear. What's more, the other party didn't care about someone following, plus there were many of them, and the sound of speech and footsteps was very chaotic, so he might not be able to find such a person, this was Fu Kai's reliance, so he followed unhurriedly.
But to Fu Kai's disappointment, after walking more than ten miles, the team of sixteen people in front of him was also lost in the Black Forest, constantly circling in the dense forest. And from their actions, it can be seen that these people also do not have a map, the only difference with Fu Kai is that they have more people than Fu Kai.
Fu Kai was really a little disappointed, but just as he was about to leave and go alone to find the target, two blue-green fireworks suddenly appeared in the distance, and the speed was very fast, and in a few flashes in the forest, it was already less than a hundred feet away from the group of people in front. The people in front of them didn't seem to notice that something was approaching, and they were still chattering and arguing.
