Chapter Twenty-Three: The Wilderness of the South of the Yangtze River
Sun Sandao came out of Jianye from the West City Gate, and only needed to go all the way west to the Jiangnan field, and then turn north to reach Chang'an City. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The river in the morning light resembles a shining blue-green ribbon. The shallows along the shore were covered with reeds, and Sun Sandao saw a water snake swimming quickly across the river, causing ripples behind him. Overhead, an eagle flies lazily in a circle.
The place seems to be peaceful...... Unexpectedly, Sun Sandao caught a glimpse of a female corpse lying on the beach, with two wild boars with bloody meat foaming on their mouths, gnawing on her internal organs. Sun Sandao once heard that wild boars often haunt the uninhabited land in the south of the Yangtze River, and many hunters make a living from it, but he has never heard of wild boars eating people.
"Master Dao, you have to be careful, don't lose your life here." Sun Sandao's weak voice sounded in his head. He didn't admit Sun Sandao, the so-called master, in his heart, but after all, he had the same fate as him, if he died, he would definitely not be able to live, so if Sun Sandao's life was in danger, he would inform him as soon as possible, which was also to protect his life.
"What do you mean by that?" Although these two half-human-tall man-eating wild boars seem to be mutated and violent, Sun Sandao, who is born with divine powers, is not afraid, and he can knock one down with a single punch. "Can't I kill a little boar with a single sword?"
"These two wild boars are naturally not to be feared, they can only be used as breakfast for the knife master." Old Ghost Lei paused, "I'm referring to the real murderer who took that woman's life. Sun Sandao was puzzled, so Lei Lao Ghost continued, "Master Dao, look at the carved phoenix gold bracelet on the woman's hand, it has zigzagged into the flesh, and it is obviously vigorously grasped. The bracelet side arm is covered with moss grass roots, and only the area covered by the gold bracelet remains unchanged, indicating that it has been caught by the dryad. Seeing her face pale, her mouth wide open, her eyes turned up, only her soul was sucked into this symptom. Legend has it that only the Dryad who has cultivated for more than 10,000 years can absorb people's souls and improve their cultivation. ”
"Youkai again? Or a 10,000-year-old dryad? Sun Sandao was shocked. This was the third time he had encountered a monster, the first time was a thousand-year-old turtle spirit, although it carelessly caused Sun Sandao to be seriously injured, it still almost killed him. The second time was the old ghost of Lei who had only been cultivating for sixty years, but he had no way to hurt him, and he almost died under his big knife. This time it's even better, it's actually a big demon with 10,000 years of cultivation, and it can also suck people's souls, if you meet it, you can only beg for a beautiful way to die. "Then I'd better hurry up and get out of this place of right and wrong."
Sun Sandao was about to turn around and change lanes, but he didn't want to be discovered by two wild boars. If an ordinary wild boar saw a human with a weapon, he would definitely turn around and flee, but this time, it was replaced by Sun Sandao, who was surprised. I saw that the two wild boars had red eyes, full of sharp teeth, and the fangs from the corners of their mouths were twice as long as ordinary wild boars. , this boar is about to become a demon, it seems that it must be the dryad's subordinates. Sun Sandao was surprised. Hold 'Breaking the Sky' in your hand and prepare to face the battle.
I saw a wild boar staring at Sun Sandao viciously, as if looking for his flaws. The other quickly scurried behind him, ready to flank back and forth.
Sun Sandao also admired in his heart, these days, wild boars have IQs, and it seems that the day when the sun comes out of the west is not far away. Although he teased like this in his heart, he was actually still worried that it would alarm the 10,000-year-old dryad, and he would really be unable to escape at that time.
Looks like a quick fix! Sun Sandao said secretly. So he threw the soul bag hanging from his waist behind him and shouted, "Come out, old ghost Lei!" ”
Lei Lao Ghost was suddenly thrown out of the soul bag, and secretly scolded Sun Sandao in his heart and shouted "bastard". But he also understands his intentions, to surprise and attack him unprepared. So he made a flying kick in the air.
"Ghost Chill Feet!"
"Piglet, eat me!"
In an instant, a wild boar was split in half by Sun Sandao, and the other ate a kick from Lei Lao Ghost, and was frozen into ice and fell to the ground, falling apart. Everything was calm again, except for the sound of cordyceps in the reeds, and the smell of blood in the air.
You have to get out of here quickly, if there are any such wild boars around, they will definitely be attracted by the bloody gas. Although there is nothing to fear, there are many of them, and it is quite troublesome to deal with. What's more, there is a 10,000-year-old dryad in the dark. Sun Sandao picked up the soul bag, took back the old ghost Lei, rehung his waist, and ran quickly to the depths of the forest by the river.
Not long after Sun Sandao left, a firefly flew out of the hole in the tree on the side, stopped on the carved phoenix gold bracelet of the female corpse, and the golden light suddenly appeared, wrapping it whole......
It was already noon, and through the dense foliage, the forest was sprinkled with sunlight, like stars twinkling in the night, and two butterflies flew by, also playing star-like games. Sun Sandao leaned on the trunk of the tree, and the sound of cicadas chirping in his ears was clear, and there was an occasional abnormal sound, which was also the gurgling sound of his stomach.
Come to think of it, except for a few meat buns yesterday afternoon, Sun Sandao has never eaten again. Now he is hungry, and he longs to meet a few wild boars in the morning. Those pigs don't look normal and don't taste good, but they're better than starving. Sun Sandao regretted in his heart, when he left, why didn't he cut off a pig's leg and take it away.
What surprised Sun Sandao the most was that in this huge forest, he didn't even see a single bird or beast along the way, not even a shadow of snakes and rats, only summer cicadas in the forest. I guess I can eat this stuff too. Sun Sandao was playing with a female cicada that couldn't chirp, and was about to put it in his mouth to try its taste, but he was shot all over the face.
Phew, bad luck! Sun Sandao spat a few times in a row, and then released the cicada. "Get out of here, or I'll cut you with a knife."
"Master Dao, I found something to eat. A mile ahead, there is a fruit tree that will wrap you in your belly. The old ghost Lei floated back from behind Sun Sandao. It turned out that Sun Sandao was tired and sent him to look for food for him in this forest. He was naturally reluctant in his heart, but Sun Sandao was sharp and sharp, soft and hard: "If I starve to death, you will also die" or "If you don't go, I will recite the soul locking spell" and other words, so that Lei Lao Ghost had to do it.
"What kind of fruit?" Sun Sandao's eyes lit up, "Lead the way." ”
"Dao Master, come here." Old Ghost Lei smiled in his heart: This time I must make you suffer a little. "It is a wild fruit that is a specialty of the south of the Yangtze River, sweet and sour, and the taste is just right. Before I died, I loved to eat this fruit, and whenever I went out hunting, I always had to find it to live my addiction. I can't taste that anymore. ”
"Then don't be slow, take me over quickly."
Sun Sandao followed Lei Lao Ghost all the way, and finally came to the place where the wild fruit he said grows. I saw that the dwarf trees were covered with small red wild fruits, and I could see that my saliva was flowing. Coupled with the urging of his stomach gurgling, Sun Sandao didn't think much about it, and reached out to take off a handful and put it in his mouth.
"Hey, boy, are you constipated? To eat so much Epsom fruit. A swarthy young man with two stacks of firewood on his back stopped Sun Sandao on the side.
