Chapter 208 [The Fish Dies, the Net Breaks]
"It's madness to use your own disciples to raise grass." Xia Ruolan was also deeply shocked by the scene of the scene, Dai frowned and pinched a corpse herb in her hand into a pulp, her eyes were full of anger.
"These people must have made mistakes in the sect to be brought here." Zhuo Zichen exhaled deeply, calmed down his inner emotions, and said in a deep voice.
Mu Feng recalled the previous little five and six people, it seems that their deaths really have a lot to do with themselves, seeing the mutilated bodies of the two people on the ground, Mu Feng was furious in his heart, and he couldn't wait to catch Qiu Changsheng in the valley in front of him with a thousand knives now, didn't they just take themselves and Yin Feng around in the Ancient Sword Sect? How cruel torture can be!
"Let's bury the two of them first!" Zhuo Zichen knew what Mu Feng was thinking, so he reached out and patted him twice on the shoulder, and whispered comfort.
Mu Feng nodded, and then with the help of Incompetence and Xia Ruolan, he simply dug a small pit in another grassy forest more than ten meters away, at this moment, the sky gradually darkened, a thin mist rose in the mountains, and the desolate moon hung in the haze directly above the valley, Zhuo Zichen and Leng Yue still connected the bodies of Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu with cold ice, and carried them to the side of the earth pit after freezing.
In the impotent whispered mantra of the past, everyone put the bodies of the two into the pit and buried them with their hands, and every handful of Tu Mufeng would secretly say to himself: I must break Qiu Changsheng's corpse into ten thousand pieces to avenge you!
After burying the bodies of Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu, Mu Feng pulled out a jade ruler sword under the suspicious gaze of several people and cut off a thigh-thick tree on the side.
Anyway, the kind of innocence before the little five and six made Mu Feng see his own shadow in them, if it weren't for the different positions and positions, Mu Feng would really like to be friends with them, although the monument is useless, but it can be regarded as a consolation for these two fatherless and motherless people, at least it proves that they have been to this world.
"Does it work?" Zhuo Zichen looked at Mu Feng and asked calmly.
"The sword is sharp." Mu Feng smiled slightly, glanced at the sword in his hand that was as shiny as white jade, and muttered softly, the jade ruler sword seems to be thin, but in fact, every time it is swung, it has a thunderous momentum, not only indestructible, but also incomparably sharp.
It is almost impossible for an ordinary sword to cut off a thigh-thick tree trunk with a single sword, but the jade ruler sword can easily turn the impossible into a possibility, and the things given by the Heavenly Dao Sect are really not mortal.
"Alright, it's time to get down to business." Zhuo Zichen stood up straight and took a deep look at the secluded woods in the distance.
The moonlight shone sparsely and dappled in the dense woods, and there was a dead silence all around, and the temperature in the woods dropped sharply at night, and soon a rising fog rose, and occasionally some insects and birds could be heard, but in the dead silence of the woods, such sounds were still too insignificant, and the five of them dived along the ridge all the way to the entrance of the valley.
The five of them were only twenty or thirty meters away from the top of the mountain, and from time to time on the top of the mountain, the conversation of some mountain patrol disciples could be heard, and the atmosphere in everyone's hearts became a little depressed, and they could only hear the rustle of everyone's feet on the thick dead branches and rotten leaves.
Everyone also knew very well in their hearts that under the top of the mountain on the right hand side was the base of the Ancient Sword Sect, and the defense of the Ancient Sword Sect belonged to a typical tight outside and loose inside, and they had a deep understanding of Mu Feng before, and in some places in the valley, there was no one who even walked on a cup of tea.
At first, Mu Feng was still thinking that maybe there was a natural all-round barrier protection from the Death Swamp, and they didn't need to be vigilant or vigilant, but now, when they cautiously groped their way through the woods, they couldn't go far to see or hear the people of the Ancient Sword Sect patrolling back and forth on the top of the mountain, and it could be seen that they were not unguarded, but they paid more attention to their own safety than ordinary immortal sects.
The mountains on both sides are estimated to be ten miles, and the narrow area between the two mountains is only about a hundred meters, and the wide position is only four or five hundred meters, this defense line is not long, and it is short for an immortal sect with only one or two hundred disciples, and if the configuration of three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, Mu Feng estimated in his heart that if he wanted to arrange people to inspect the two mountains like now, it would take at least nearly a hundred people to do it on the scale of their group of three.
Thinking of this deepened Mu Feng's intuition, that is, this ancient sword sect was far from being as simple as he imagined, and the internal defense of such an immortal sect that had been isolated from the world for five years was so tight, if it weren't for the incompetence and Zhuo Zichen, their strength was here, every time they met a mountain patrol disciple, they could very skillfully take Mu Feng to hide in the dark of the woods and avoid it without danger.
This kind of enemy is in the light, and I feel in the dark makes Mu Feng feel very comfortable, these disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect walked along the ridge with long swords on their backs, because their purpose was to prevent someone from sneaking over this ridge to sneak into the Ancient Sword Sect while it was dark, and these people were too conspicuous on the slightly desolate ridge under the moonlight, but in the dense woods more than ten meters away from them, Mu Feng and his party were swaggering towards their destination.
I don't know how long I walked in this quiet and dim woods, the five of them all tacitly kept silent, maybe it was in this tense and depressing atmosphere that Mu Feng's heartbeat accelerated, and now Mu Feng could hear his heartbeat very clearly, and the hand holding the jade ruler sword stretched out a trace of cold sweat.
"Huh?" Just when Mu Feng was walking in the mountains and forests full of dead branches and rotten leaves, and some places were still slopes and it was difficult to stand firm, and he felt that his feet were sore, Zhuo Zichen and Incompetence, who were leading the way in front, suddenly stopped and raised their arms to signal Mu Feng behind him, Leng Yue and Xia Ruolan to stop.
Xia Ruolan was slightly puzzled, and under the mottled moonlight, her delicate face frowned slightly, and she cautiously came to Zhuo Zichen and Incompetence's side.
"It's dangerous!" Mu Feng and Leng Yue glanced at each other and groped close to the three people in front of them, Zhuo Zichen and Incompetent both gasped as if they were palpitating, and Incompetent even patted their thumping chests again and again.
"What's so risky?" It was dark in front of him, and although the sparse moonlight illuminated many areas, the fog that began to fill in the mountains and forests still limited his vision, and he couldn't see anything where he could see.
"There's an enchantment ahead," Zhuo Zichen replied softly with a solemn face as he glanced at the secluded woods in front of him.
"There are such places too?" Leng Yue was a little surprised.
"It seems that the entrance of the valley is not far ahead, and it can't be forced, so let's go around." Impotence stood up, glanced around, and said in a deep voice.
Detour, the only feasible thing is to go down the mountain and walk along the mountain wall on top of those mires, but now that they have come to this point, they can't spoil the whole plan with a momentary lightness, so the five of them secretly went down the mountain, and they didn't go far Mu Feng looked back and found that there was a half-human-high stone tablet behind a few big trees, and the hazy fog hindered the vision and couldn't see what was written on it.
Seeing this, Mu Feng also exhaled with palpitations, if it weren't for Zhuo Zichen and Incompetence being careful enough, if they had led the way by themselves just now, it would have passed by this stone tablet hidden behind a few big trees, and I didn't know.
Mu Feng curiously glanced at the stele in the distance, which was about fifty or sixty meters away from him, the stele was obviously artificially placed there, surrounded by several big trees, and only a small part was left, and some messy runes were faintly visible on it, it was obvious that this stele was not a tombstone, the only explanation was that this stele that should not appear was the induction enchantment point set by Qiu Changsheng.
Along the barren mountain wall, groping in the mud swamp shrouded in thick fog, about a cup of tea, suddenly there was a rich and pungent fishy smell wafting from the thick fog, this smell mixed with a lot of rotten smell, smelling people feel choked, everyone hurriedly covered their mouths and noses with their hands, and was incompetent and subconsciously approached Mu Feng, ready to provide him with treatment at any time.
Mu Feng had already been prepared, when he came down from the mountain, he had already covered his face with a cloth, leaving only a pair of eyes, after several times of poisoning, Mu Feng seemed to have formed a certain amount of antibodies in his body, although he still inhaled some, but at least so far he did not have the feeling of dizziness, nausea and nausea after poisoning.
"Huh~poof~~Huh~~Puff~~" Not long after continuing to walk forward, there were strange sounds in the dense fog ahead.
The sound sounded very rough but also rhythmic, as if some kind of large animal was sleeping and snoring in the thick fog in front of them, which made all five of them startled, and they hurriedly stopped and looked at each other, not knowing what this strange sound was.
Strange noises came from the dense fog one after another, and the visibility in front of them was only thirty or fifty meters, and they didn't know what the thing that made such a regular strange sound in front of them was, but judging from the sound, the creatures that made this sound were probably only a hundred meters away from them in a straight line, and they didn't know what their opponent was at such a close distance, how could they not worry and be uneasy? .
"It's supposed to be the monster." Mu Feng's brows furrowed, the regular voice in the distance was dull and powerful, like a low thunder, although it was different from the roar of the serpentine monster that he and Yin Feng had seen in the dense fog before, but there were many similarities between them, and the same roughness and dullness made people shudder.
"It's sleeping?" Impotence was amazed, for the distant sounds came and went one after another with a regular pattern, like the snoring of a sleeping man.
"I can't close it so much, go over and have a look first, and if it doesn't work, I'll run. If it's really sleeping, take this opportunity to kill it! Zhuo Zichen felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and immediately put forward his own ideas.
Having said that, among the five people present, only Mu Feng had seen the outline of that monster, and such a huge creature was conservatively estimated to be a high-level magical beast according to Yin Feng's guess, and its appearance in such a place could only show that it was not afraid of the influence of this death swamp at all, or that this death swamp was the capital on which it depended.
And they are restricted everywhere here, and if they want to fight that monster openly, obviously they will suffer, but once the sneak attack fails, I am afraid it will be difficult to retreat and will fall into a stalemate.
"Mu Feng, or you can stay, and come back to you when we get rid of it." Impotent glanced at Mu Feng with some concern and said softly.
The other three also looked at Mu Feng with concern, which made Mu Feng feel a little uncomfortable in his heart, hesitated slightly, and the corners of his mouth rose to reveal a bitter smile: "It's okay, there are three clear sword styles, are you still afraid that I won't be able to run away?" It's just a few steps, and there's no point in me staying! ”
"Haha, you just want to see what that monster looks like!" Incompetence laughed.
"You see all this? Hurry up, the monster has been hovering at the entrance of the valley for a long time, and it is estimated that the entrance to the valley is ahead, and all the mysteries will be revealed when you get there! Mu Feng smiled at first, and then his eyes became cold, the expression on his face became solemn, and he pulled out the jade ruler sword and held it firmly in his hand.
"Fight for a one-hit kill!" Zhuo Zichen nodded and solemnly affirmed everyone.
Zhuo Zichen's encouragement made everyone more confident, and they all worked hard, and walked side by side, approaching the source of this strange sound step by step.
When the five of them passed through the blockade of several dense fogs, the pungent fishy smell in the gray air in front of them became more and more intense, and the strong sound of continuing to move forward became more and more clear, snoring one after another, every breath could drive the surrounding fog to tremble, and the sound became louder and louder, so that in the end, it made people feel deafening.
Continuing to move forward, Zhuo Zichen and Wuyi suddenly stopped first, looking at a huge figure in front of them, their eyes widened in shock, if they paid attention at this moment, they could both have an egg in their mouths, and Xia Ruolan, who had always been calm in the face of things, also showed a stunned and shocked expression at this moment.
In the quagmire in front of him, there is a body with a length of nearly 20 meters, the width of the body must be a zhang wide, and the narrow place is estimated to be nearly a meter, the whole body is black and shiny, like a giant python coiled together, at first glance it really looks like a giant python.
But unlike the python, this monster is covered with thick palm-sized scales, and its tail is fan-shaped with rubber bones, and its coiled body is like a small mountain, and it can be clearly seen that it also has jet-black eagle hook-like claws under its body, especially its exposed bucket-sized head makes people's backs chill at a glance.
