Chapter 268 [The Secret of the Back Mountain]
What made Mu Feng feel strange was what Xiao Fan wanted to do when he let himself come to this back mountain? Do you want to tell yourself that it is easier for you to climb up this back hill full of thorns and no way out?
As soon as this idea appeared, it was vetoed by Mu Feng, obviously with Xiao Fan's character, he would not tell himself these meaningless skills, after a little hesitation, Mu Feng still decided to take a closer look at what was in the strange giant pit in front of him.
Just as Mu Feng was half-squatting on the edge of the pit and looking down, the grunt on his shoulder suddenly seemed a little restless, and then he jumped and flapped his wings and flew down to the bottom of the pit when Mu Feng was caught off guard.
Mu Feng looked surprised and watched Gollum fly straight to the bottom of the pit like this, just when Mu Feng was a little at a loss, suddenly a light wind blew in the mountains, and a strong smell of blood wafted from the woods, this smell was particularly pungent at this moment.
Following the source of the smell of blood, Mu Feng hesitated slightly, but decided to go and see what was in the woods first, as for Gollum being an ancient spirit dragon after all, he was not particularly worried about its safety.
Because Xiao Fan once said before, this guy looks small and exquisite, but it is not easy to kill it, Mu Feng used to compete with Xiao Fan in the courtyard every day, Gollum was watching stupidly on the side, there were several strong explosions that shook some of the surrounding rock broken walls into meters, but it was unscathed, and Mu Feng knew from then that Gollum's seemingly weak body was much stronger than his own ability to resist blows.
In Xiaofan's words: Eat so much every day, can the body be the same as a person?
Groping forward step by step in the direction where the smell of blood came from, when Mu Feng walked to a place about a hundred meters away from the round pit, the scene in front of him instantly made Mu Feng's eyes widen, and he felt a little scalp tingling and gasped.
I saw that in a pile of dead branches and leaves, more than a dozen corpses were piled up together, and the blood stained their robes red, judging from their clothes, they were the disciples of the Cloud Palace, the bloody scene made Mu Feng feel a little disgusted, when he saw that the wounds on the bodies of these dead bodies were still bleeding out, Mu Feng was frowning and vigilantly looking at the silent mountains and forests around him.
After a while, nothing was found, looking at the corpses piled up on the ground, some of them had their heads cut off, some of them seemed to have their hearts pulled out alive, the scene was extremely terrifying, and none of the swords they were carrying on their backs were unsheathed.
It is conceivable that these people did not even have a chance to react before they died, and the murderer was vicious, killing them with one blow, and then piling up these corpses here like this.
Mu Feng's brows furrowed, only then did he know why he hadn't even encountered a single Yunxiao Hall disciple at the foot of this mountain, it turned out that they all died tragically here, and judging from the appearance of the corpses, the time of their death should have been not long before, but the Yunxiao Hall on the mountain never reacted at all.
The only explanation is that now the Cloud Hall does not know that the disciples who came down the mountain to inspect have been killed.
Mu Feng felt a little uneasy in his heart, guessing who did it, could it be Xiao Fan?
"Roar~~" Suddenly, there was a roar from the round pit behind him, and Mu Feng's face changed greatly, and he didn't care about it at the moment, so he turned around and rushed towards the round pit.
However, when Mu Feng came to the edge of the round pit, the original strong and deafening strange roar stopped abruptly, and the birds in the surrounding woods were frightened and scattered, but the round pit was extraordinarily calm, Mu Feng looked down, and found that at the edge of the huge round pit, a huge demonic beast was lying on the ground, and the trees and weeds around it were overwhelmed by it, and on its back was a light blue object, and Mu Feng didn't have to think much about it to know that the one standing on its back at the moment must be Gollum.
On Lingyun Mountain, many disciples gathered together after hearing the roar that resounded through the sky before.
"What's wrong with the beast?" One of the disciples asked with a worried face towards the other Cloud Hall disciples gathered in front of him.
"I don't know, the mountain beasts never scream!"
"Why don't we go and ask the hall master?"
"No need, the hall master has told him not to disturb him recently, besides, there are senior brothers under the mountain, maybe the mountain beast is just roaring on a whim."
The disciples of the Cloud Hall on Lingyun Mountain had different opinions after hearing the roar of the monster, but Mu Feng had already come to the bottom of the pit at this moment, and with the help of his soul energy, he fell lightly from the air in front of the monster that had made a deafening roar before.
I saw that this was a giant creature covered in black scale armor and a huge body weighing thousands of catties, from its four sharp claws like blades, and the blue-faced fanged head Mu Feng decided that this guy was not a beast, but a demonic beast!
The wide tail of this strange-looking monster is covered with sharp barbs, and it is gently swinging up and down, and every swing can roll up a gust of fishy wind, and the Mu Feng standing in front of it is not as big as its hideous and terrifying head, but at this moment, this vicious-looking monster is lying on the ground motionless, and a pool of jet-black steaming and foul-smelling liquid is flowing from the ground.
Gollum, on the other hand, kept making excited "whining" sounds, and used two small tiger teeth to constantly gnaw at the hard iron scale armor on its body, but in the face of these scale armor that were almost connected to each other without any gaps, it seemed a little powerless, constantly changing positions and biting, but it was always difficult to bite through these hard scale armor.
"Gollum, you probably killed it, did you?" Seeing such a scene, Mu Feng gasped, and stood in front of the bloody mouth of the demonic beast that emitted a real stench, Mu Feng felt that the breath of this demonic beast had become very weak, and it seemed that it might lose its breath at any time.
Immediately afterwards, Mu Feng jumped up in the excited cry of Gollum, stood on the back of this demonic beast, and found that there were two thumb-sized wounds on its back.
"You're really greedy, people are recruiting you here to provoke you?" Mu Feng helplessly reached out and stroked Gollum's body a few times, and the latter actually began to make a low "woo" sound around Mu Feng coquettishly, as if he was praying for something.
Looking at the reminder of such a huge demonic beast in front of him, Mu Feng concluded that this guy was at least a middle-level or above demonic beast, and it was not necessarily high-level, although Gollum easily killed it with his own water ball, but he was helpless in the face of the hard scale armor of its whole body, at this moment Mu Feng knew why Gollum looked so excited on the round pit just now and drilled down, it turned out that he had found food!
"You want me to get you out of the way?" Looking at the coquettish Gollum rolling in front of him, Mu Feng smiled bitterly.
"Woo~" Gollum stood up as if he understood Mu Feng's words, and his blue eyes looked at Mu Feng pitifully and nodded.
Mu Feng smiled helplessly, this guy is really like what Xiao Fan said, he is an inadequate master. It was easy to kill such a huge demonic beast, but there was no place to put it down, but these were not a problem for Mu Feng, and at that moment, a wave of the spirit rhino appeared in his right hand.
Today's Mu Feng, under the guidance of Xiao Fan for more than a month, is already relatively familiar with Lingxi, which confirms what Mei Ji once said, he has a good understanding of Lingxi, and can only read it at will after he has really established contact with Lingxi.
Needless to say, the sharpness of the spirit rhino was needless to say, watching Mu Feng summon the spirit rhino, Gollum was drooling, and hurriedly flew to the side to leave a vacant space for Mu Feng.
Mu Feng put away the knife and fell, and the spirit rhino flashed several golden lights on the huge body of this demonic beast, and then the spirit rhino dissipated into invisibility with Mu Feng's thoughts, and the body of the demonic beast in front of him, which was originally protected by the indestructible scale armor, instantly split its skin and flesh, and a large amount of jet-black liquid flowed out, and a choking stench came to his face, Mu Feng hurriedly covered his mouth and nose with his hands, frowned and turned around.
However, Gollum didn't care about any of this, but as if he had seen a gluttonous feast, like the reincarnation of a starving ghost, he flew into the severed body of the demonic beast and devoured it in a big gulp.
Mu Feng, who was covering his mouth and nose, shook his head helplessly when he saw this, and sighed with emotion in his heart, my little ancestor, if you eat like this, no matter how many demonic beasts you eat, the key is that after eating so much, you won't see you grow.
After laughing, Mu Feng suddenly thought of something, and his frowning brows deepened a little.
How could a demonic beast appear under the nose of the Cloud Palace? A bad premonition came to Mu Feng's heart, could it be that this demonic beast was specially bred by them?
Mu Feng looked around the bottom of the pit and found a huge cave on the pit wall not far from him.
Gollum was still gulping and gnawing on it, which was disgusting to Mu Feng, and he didn't even want to look at it, but it was a delicious monster corpse, and Mu Feng was full of doubts and approached this huge cave, and his position above the round pit was just above this huge cave, so he condescended and didn't find that there was a hole at the bottom of this pit.
Now it seems that this huge dark cave should be the place where this demonic beast killed by Gollum lives, at the entrance of the cave, Mu Feng smelled a pervasive rancid smell, and if you look closely, there are countless white bones in the cave, these white bones are twisted and deformed, and some are even twisted together, but you can still tell that most of them are human bones.
Seeing this scene, Mu Feng gasped, could it be that the demonic beast killed by Gollum had been eating human flesh for a long time?
Mu Feng turned his head to look at the huge demonic beast that had been eaten half by Gollum in a blink of an eye, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva, how much food is needed to feed such a huge demonic beast, although many of these white bones have been deformed, as if they were swallowed by this demonic beast in one gulp but the indigestion was pulled out again, but the bones of the beast among them are pitiful.
The further you went, the more bones piled up inside, the dirt beneath your feet was sticky and stenching with a real pungent stench, and the further you went into the cave, the darker it became, and there was a clicking sound when you stepped on these fragile bones.
Just when Mu Feng was thinking about using the spirit rhino to illuminate, a glimmer of light appeared in the depths of the cave.
The light in front of him made Mu Feng feel puzzled, and he turned his head to look in the direction of the entrance of the cave, and the big hole in the middle was only the size of a fist to the naked eye, which showed how long this hole was.
The more he walked into the depths of the bright cave, the more depressed and nervous Mu Feng's heart became, in this dark environment, surrounded by white bones and bursts of foul smell, this feeling can only be understood after experiencing it first-hand, this is a good test of a person's mental quality.
I didn't go far inside, the scene in front of me suddenly opened up, and there was actually a huge arc-shaped hole stretched out from the hole, and there were a lot of moon stones scattered with faint white light on the top of the cave dozens of meters away from me, the space in the cave was huge, and the floor under my feet was clean and clean compared with the long hole behind him.
The cave is smooth and there is no trace of artificial excavation, but under the opposite rock wall there is a neat row of stone gates, and there are ten stone gates under the careful count.
There is a charm pasted above the stone door, which seems to seal the stone door to prevent the things inside from escaping, facing the empty cave and these ten stone gates that are almost identical, Mu Feng is interested, curious about what is inside this stone gate, and the fierce monster before obviously lives here, but there is no dirt on the floor under his feet.
Could it be that it is guarding these ten stone gates?
Mu Feng, who was full of doubts, held his breath and cautiously came to one of the stone gates, the cave was as silent as death, Mu Feng could clearly hear his heartbeat, looking at the black weird rune paper pasted on the stone door, Mu Feng hesitated slightly, after all, it was difficult to resist his curiosity.
For the sake of safety, the soul qi in Mu Feng's body ran all over his body, and the spirit rhino summoned out, and gently used the spirit rhino to touch the rune paper on the stone door, when the spirit rhino touched the black rune paper, there was no abnormality, which was a little unexpected by Mu Feng.
It seems that this is not a forbidden spell, and it does not seem to be dangerous, Mu Feng thought about it and took the spirit rhino back, reached out and lightly touched the black rune paper, but as expected, nothing happened.
Only then did Mu Feng exhale with relief, and then ripped off the talisman paper attached to the stone door.
The rune paper was torn off by Mu Feng and discarded on the ground, but there was still no change, which made Mu Feng a little confused, so that these identical runes were just a decoration on this stone door, right?
Thinking about it, Mu Feng still decided to push open the stone door in front of him to see what was inside.
"Click~" When Mu Feng's hand lightly touched the stone door, before he could exert himself, the stone door was slowly opened by himself from the inside out, and the inside was full of light, and a faint white light shone out from the gap in the opening of the stone door.
