_Chapter 98: Misty Ridge
"Once you enter the fog, it is as deep as the sea, and it is ......a rumor to look back from now on" Looking at the mottled handwriting that had been weathered, Chu Chen's throat couldn't help but feel a little dry. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Now is the time when the sky is about to be dark and not dark, and it is not normal to have a thick fog that does not disperse. It's just that he was in a hurry to run for his life before, and he didn't have time to think about it.
Now that I think about it, there is something wrong here. Not only the fog in the canyon, but even the mouth of the valley where he was located, it seemed that there was no trace of anything other than the nicks of the wind and rain of the years.
In other words, not only is this place inaccessible, but even the beasts and monsters in the mountains and forests will subconsciously avoid this place. It can be seen that this Misty Ridge is definitely not a good place to go.
After a short period of contemplation, Chu Chen's gaze became firm again.
What about the dangers ahead? There's always a silver lining. And if he fights hard with Lin Zihai, it's not that he is not confident, but that he knows his strength, and he really fights to the death, he is by no means Lin Zihai's opponent.
Lin Zihai ranked tenth in the inner gate, and his cultivation was at least sevenfold in the Star Source Realm, and he had just entered the Star Source Realm. The gap between this is so great that it is impossible to make up for it close to the origin and the star vein.
Instead of engaging in a pointless battle, take a risk. Just because others can't get out of the Misty Ridge doesn't mean they can't get out. His mind was spinning rapidly, and Chu Chen still decided to go deep into the Misty Ridge.
It's just that before he goes deeper, he still has some doubts that need to be solved. After thinking about it, he sneered: "You don't dare to come in? ”
Knowing that this was Chu Chen's agitated general, Lin Zihai was still furious. Just thinking about the legend of the Misty Ridge, looking at the gradually approaching mist, he suddenly laughed again.
"If you want to pull a cushion when you are dying, you want to be beautiful. Do you think I'm stupid? I won't come in, if you have the ability to come out, I promise to give you a fair chance to compete. ”
Lin Zihai looked sarcastic, in his opinion, Chu Chen was definitely dead. If he chooses to flee blindly instead of landing, he may have to spend a lot more time. Now he landed at the entrance of the Misty Canyon, but he was absolutely killing himself.
The time of existence of the Misty Ridge is even older than that of the Bixiao Sect. For thousands of years of recorded history, it has been a forbidden place.
This is a place that is completely incomparable to the Black Wind Ridge, and the horror of the Misty Ridge lies not in the blood, not in the creatures in it, but in its quietness, in the fog that can never be dispersed.
But anyone who intrudes, whether intentionally or unintentionally, eventually evaporates from the world and disappears. No one knows if they live or die, and no one knows what happened to them.
And no matter how people speculate, she has always stood quietly, unchanged for thousands of years, and without making a single sound for thousands of years.
No one knows what's inside the Misty Ridge, heaven or hell? People only see the dense fog that does not disperse, the vast unknown.
There is a fear that can be daunting without having to be experienced by oneself. And the dense fog of the Misty Ridge has such a magic.
Outside the boundary monument, Lin Zihai didn't dare to make a step towards Lei Chi at all. No matter how Chu Chen spoke about the lotus, he only remembered one thing, that is, he must not cross the boundary monument.
Seeing Lin Zihai's reaction, Chu Chen put his mind at ease, sat on the ground, and pretended to be sentimental: "Senior brother is really alert, it seems that I am going to go on the road alone."
It's a pity that until I die, I don't understand how my whereabouts could be leaked. Come to think of it, it's really unwilling! ”
As if he wanted to prove his resentment, he said with a cruel face: "Don't let me know who betrayed me, otherwise I won't let him go!" ”
"Tsk, I just like to see you now, hysterical, resentful, hopeless, helpless! Haha......" Lin Zihai laughed, raised his eyebrows and said: "Since you have said so, then I can't help but remind you that the news came from Qingxiao Pavilion." ”
Chu Chen's heart jumped, the last thing he wanted to happen had finally happened.
When he was first attacked, he thought that among the four people who traveled this time, the only ones who really knew the route and destination were Zhou Haoran and Yu Hanyan.
As for him and Lin Xiruo, because it was the first time to come to this kind of place, they couldn't figure out the situation at all, so they couldn't talk about leaking secrets at all.
Among Zhou Haoran and Yu Hanyan, Zhou Haoran belongs to Yuxiao Palace, and he is a mortal enemy with the people of Lei Xiao Palace, and it is impossible for him to reveal the news to Lei Xiao Palace. Even if someone in the upper echelons of Yuxiao Palace knows, the possibility of leaking the secret is almost zero.
In this way, the most likely source of leakage is directly pointed at Yu Hanyan. This is also the reason why Chu Chen tested her in the cave at the beginning, but now that Lin Zihai said this, the guess in his heart was finally confirmed.
"Sure enough, the problem is still with you!" With a light sigh, Chu Chen's heart was heavy.
But soon, he laughed again, no matter what, he believed that it was not Yu Hanyan who deliberately leaked the plan.
Based on his understanding, Yu Hanyan couldn't do such a thing, and he didn't have the motive to do so. The most important thing is that if it is really her, then it is impossible for her to be by his side all the time, indifferent to life and death.
Thinking about it like this, the biggest mystery in Chu Chen's heart was finally clear, although Lin Zihai didn't say it explicitly, but in Qingxiao Pavilion, how many people had a holiday with him?
A Bihua, Bining's sister, had a close relationship with Lei Xiaodian, sent someone to attack him, and acted as an accomplice to the little injury, and was finally confined by Bi Ning for a month.
Whether it is the motive or the ability to obtain information, Bihua is undoubtedly the most suspicious.
In addition, the third person on the Qingyun List who was interested in Bi Ning and had intentionally or unintentionally threatened Chu Chen, Nan Ruofeng, was not small.
"I hope it's Nan Ruofeng, although the strength is stronger, and it can't be dealt with at the moment, but at least there won't be any psychological burden. If it's Bihua ......"
"Whew!" Chu Chen let out a long breath, even though he shook his head vigorously, the shadow of Bi Ning lingered in his mind.
"Look at each other and smile, and then look back, it's a passerby!" With a wry smile in his heart, he suddenly found that his once open-mindedness seemed so ridiculous at this moment. After all, he didn't want to embarrass her, even if he wanted to embarrass himself.
In the midst of such thoughts, Lin Zihai's vicious voice sounded again.
"You know what? You haven't set off yet, we've already started to lay out.
Black Wind Ridge is the first line of pursuit, Yu Wei summoned, Black Wind shot, as for the purpose, it is very simple, kill you. As for Yu Hanyan, she is simply implicated by you, who is she not with you?
It's a pity that none of us thought that not only did you not die, but you also ruined the hard work of the palace for so many years. This alone is a great sin for you, and no one can save you! ”
Speaking sharply, his eyebrows were cold, like that, as if Chu Chen really had a great sin.
"Sure enough." Chu Chen knew it in his heart, and instead of focusing on the things he had already expected, he said coldly: "Sin? It's ridiculous, on what basis do you think I'm guilty? If you are really guilty, then you are also guilty, it is him, Lei Ao, and these ambitious guys who regard human life as a mustard in the Kaijiang King. ”
"Say whatever you want, you're going to die anyway." Lin Zihai shrugged his shoulders and was very disapproving.
After speaking, he said with a relaxed face: "But then again, I really admire you a little, you can actually survive under that level of pursuit, not only to save yourself, but even the woman of Yu Hanyan is not damaged." I don't think I can do that. ”
Chu Chen sneered, "So what? In the end, weren't you still forced into this desperate situation? ”
"Haha, I didn't even expect such a day. In my plan, you will definitely die in the Black Wind Ridge, and I don't need to make a move at all. However, before leaving, Senior Brother Lei Ao still sent me to a small village, saying that it was just in case. ”
Speaking of this, Lin Zihai paused, and then looked at Chu Chen with a strange gaze: "At that time, I was very unimpressed, I thought he looked down on you." But I didn't expect that you really escaped from the Black Wind Ridge and walked in front of me alive. And I, I actually really guarded against that 10,000-mile one. Isn't it ridiculous, you say? ”
Chu Chen remained silent, stood up silently, and suddenly smiled: "It's really ridiculous." Lei Ao was ridiculous, he thought that the two-year covenant would paralyze me and make me let my guard down, but in fact, I was never deceived by him. Because of this, you can see, I have prepared a lot of seemingly useless things, which have saved me from danger again and again. ”
As he spoke, Chu Chen shook the two simple "wings" in his hand, put them away casually, and looked at Lin Zihai with disdain: "As for you, it's even more ridiculous."
I didn't know what I was capable of, but I was self-righteous and thought my plan was seamless. But I didn't expect that in the face of absolute strength, all the conspiracies and tricks were fleeting, and they would be shattered with one blow.
So your plot against me has been bankrupt again and again, and even if you take action yourself now, you can only push me into a plausible desperate situation, but you can't really kill me. Isn't it ridiculous, you say? ”
"You ......" Lin Zihai's face was swollen and red, and he quickly calmed down and sneered: "Hmph, you are still hard-mouthed when you die, why don't you think I come up and kill you?" Do you think you'll be able to come out of it alive? If I'm ridiculous, you're even more ridiculous. If you enter the Misty Ridge and want to come back alive, that's called a fool's dream, understand? ”
Chu Chen took a deep breath and didn't speak, just turned around silently.
The sky was getting darker, and the thick fog in the canyon was sweeping at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it would not be long before he was swept into the thick fog.
According to the legend of Misty Ridge, once he is involved in a dense fog, he may not be able to see the light of day again in this life. It's just that at this moment, he has a feeling of high morale.
There are talented people from generation to generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years.
As a former scientist, Chu Chen firmly believes that all excesses will eventually be surpassed, and the brilliance of all predecessors will inevitably become a stepping stone for future generations. And all the unknown and even the unknowable will eventually be under the gaze of the explorer, and there will be nothing to hide.
At this moment, in the face of the thick fog that has not dispersed all year round, he is no longer the desperate outlaw, but an emotional conqueror.
"Go back and tell Lei Ao that I won't die, and the filth of the Kaijiang Palace, sooner or later, will be exposed to the world. The iniquity they have created, and the debt they owe to the people of the world, will one day be repaid.
Also, don't forget to tell him that don't hate the wrong person about the destruction of the Blood Shadow Cave, that incident, from beginning to end, is me! ”
After speaking, regardless of whether Lin Zihai understood or not, Chu Chen resolutely stepped forward and walked in the direction of the dense fog.
The calm momentum and the calm and fearless back fell in Lin Zihai's eyes, making him suddenly have an illusion. It seems that it was not he who forced Chu Chen to such a point at all, but Chu Chen's initiative and joyful choice.
The frustration was still accumulating in his heart, and an even more absurd thought rose to his heart, he actually felt that Chu Chen might really not die, but he didn't have the courage to go up and chase him down at all.
But soon, the strange thought was suppressed. Misty Ridge, the forbidden land of the living, the grave of the dead. This is a fact that has been verified by countless predecessors, no one can come out of it alive, and Chu Chen is no exception.
With great certainty in his heart, Lin Zihai turned around with a smile, like a victorious general, and under the last remnant sun, the slender shadow grew long.
