According to Jiang Fuqing's words, Lingchi has been renamed Huaiyun Pond. Because the strange phenomena of the spirit pool have been recorded in the ancient books in the past, the evil beasts hidden in it, although these legends have been strictly forbidden to spread anymore, but they will still flow out with some cracks.

For example, there is a giant beast that resembles a toad in the spirit pool, or a night owl that can breathe in the water similar to a cat, and so on, but this is also a strange story that some storytellers add their own imagination and combine with the spirit pool. The real spirit pool is in the inner perimeter of the Hundred Beast Forest, but it's not very far, about an hour away from the entrance.

If you want to talk about the distance, it is indeed not far, only one or two miles, but after all, it is a primeval forest, and if you want to go there, you need to not only resist the harassment of those small animals, but also pay attention to whether the stones under your feet will slide, as well as the characteristics of various creatures. For example, when entering the Hundred Beasts Forest, there is a distance of "horse stumbling" in the world, which is actually a kind of grass.

It's just that the grass grows extremely vigorously and grows at an astonishing rate and quantity, and these things are called horse stumbling blocks, partly because they are too strong horses to spread their legs, and partly because they are made up of vines and are staggered, and you can't even use sticks to stir them up.

If it is not possible to destroy things, the people of the city generally believe that man and nature should live in harmony, although sometimes there is a bit of the jungle, but this is much better than killing everything. If you destroy a forest today, then nature will demand something of equivalent value from you, and the life of a tree will be like the life of a person.

So people who come to the Forest of Beasts are not allowed to destroy anything, except in exceptional circumstances. Therefore, the horse stumbling block is safe here, and it is initially estimated that the horse stumbling block should be here for hundreds of years.

This horse stumbling is long enough for Wentian and Cao Tianyun to drink a pot, fortunately, Cao Tianyun has already been prepared to deal with it, and when he came, Cao Tianyun specially bought a kind of leather boots to prevent these horse stumbling blocks from scratching his ankles. After Jiu Wentian put on leather boots, he walked here just to feel pulled, but relying on his strength was completely enough.

Jiu Wentian staggered along, and said, "Brother Cao, what do you think the evil beasts in the Hundred Beast Forest look like, will it be the same as the dictatorship ten years ago?"

"Probably not, at least it's very docile, otherwise this beast forest would have been a mess a long time ago, and it would be impossible to let these flowers and animals live together anymore. "Cao Tianyun walked very smoothly, maybe this is also the power of the triple martial artist," but think about it carefully, it may be because of the existence of those evil beasts that these creatures have a place to live, otherwise, they would have been occupied by those greedy people a long time ago." ”

Jiu Wentian thought about it, and there was indeed some truth, so he said: "Well, this kind of forest is much more beautiful than a bare mountain. We're going to go to the inner periphery later, is this Hundred Beast Forest still divided into inner and outer peripherals?"

Cao Tianyun nodded and said, "Divided, the periphery is our common creatures, such as poplars and apple trees, and then these horses, flowers, and so on." But there is one thing worth doubting, and if you figure this out, you will probably be able to solve the mystery of the Hundred Beast Forest. ”

Jiu Wentian asked puzzledly, "What is it?"

"It seems that you still haven't noticed, but it's actually right in front of your eyes. Cao Tianyun took a long breath and slowly explained: "It's obviously winter now, but the plants here are still very vigorous, aren't they?"

This sentence made Jiu Wentian stunned, yes, the horse stumbling on his feet now is a kind of green plant, and it just snowed the day before yesterday, but these horse stumbling blocks are still green, and there is no respect for winter and the appearance of this snow at all. This is also a point that Jiu Wentian has only discovered now, it may have been that this forest was green before, so Jiu Wentian didn't feel any sense of disobedience, plus there was no snow here, Jiu Wentian would not think of winter.

Or maybe Jiu Wentian went to the watchman place in the mountains and rivers map, whether it was winter or summer, it was all green, except for the fire and snow in the fourth-order forest. So Jiu Wentian unconsciously substituted for it, which is why he made such an unintentional mistake.

If the Watchful Land in the Mountains and Rivers Diagram is because it is an ancient artifact, then this Hundred Beast Forest can't also be an ancient artifact, right? This is just a forest at all, why is this happening?

Just when he was puzzled for a long time, Cao Tianyun suddenly said: "Actually, there are many such theories, for example, some people say that it is because of the evil beasts in the Hundred Beasts Forest, and the miasma emitted by these evil beasts has led to the possibility of this phenomenon, which is all green all year round." Some people say that it is because this place is too mysterious, this used to be a place of great power, it is all green and the existence of those evil beasts is all because of that great power, which is also the handiwork of that person. ”

"But after thousands of years of controversy," Cao Tianyun continued, "In fact, the first theory is more accepted by the public, because these miasma has also caused many people to suffer from blood sucking disease, so the miasma theory is naturally very convincing." If you want to talk about that great power, it is true that there have been many great powers in the ancient city since ancient times, but only one great power is the true god!"

"Gu Boyong?" said Jiu Wentian's mouth at once.

It doesn't matter if you don't say this, it also surprised Cao Tianyun, and then Cao Tianyun said: "How do you know? This name should be known to very few people, and people who know this name usually die, this is the ban of the old city." ”

Jiu Wentian suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, he didn't know that the name Gu Boyong was actually a ban, it seemed that this Gu Boyong was definitely not simple. Jiu Wentian made a round and said: "I read those books and saw them, and the books said that this person is very powerful, so I guessed it, but I didn't expect it to be true." ”

"That's right, okay, don't say this name in front of others in the future, it'll be fatal. After Cao Tianyun finished speaking, he also walked out of the horse stumbling block, and then Cao Tianyun looked back, looked at Jiu Wentian's rope with white jade around his neck and fell into deep thought.

Jiu Wentian looked at the horse stumbling under his feet, and always had a feeling that a group of zombies under his feet were grabbing his feet to make himself unable to walk, and then he had to use great strength to get out. It seems that it is not unreasonable to require martial artists above the triple level to enter.

Then Cao Tianyun avoided Jiu Wentian's eyes, then turned around and said: "If you go further, you will reach the outer forest, there should be some lions and tigers or something, but those are real, unlike some little monkeys or something, they will always make trouble behind your back." ”

Jiu Wentian also has a deep understanding of this, and when he was in the Watchful Land, he felt that although Lei Hu was powerful, he was also reasonable, but those snakes were not, hiding behind their backs and giving you a blow directly. But this is also a biological instinct, and it can't be said that every creature has its own way of survival.

Jiu Wentian smiled and said, "It sounds quite dangerous ahead, but it's also very interesting, let's walk first, you can't let a few monkeys scare you away, right?"

Cao Tianyun also laughed, as if he was laughing at Wentian for a long time and felt that he was not prepared, Cao Tianyun said: "I am ready, I bought a lot of dry food when I came, and when I got to the monkey's territory, I threw those things out, so that they would not harass us." ”

Jiu Wentian nodded and said, "I understand, it's just a sound of east and west." ”

Entering the woods in front, the monkeys began to call for their companions when they saw someone coming, and Jiu Wentian, who was chattering, did not understand what it meant. Then I saw those monkeys scurrying around in the trees, quite like the feeling of Tarzan of the Apes.

After a while, the two of them saw a lot of monkeys swinging on the swing and came to them, and Jiu Wentian said: "It seems that we have become prey, you should quickly take out those things, or we will have to let this monkey scratch its face." ”

Cao Tianyun took out a small package of dry food from the space ring, it is already good to have these things in winter, I hope these monkeys don't eat it, and it will be troublesome to ask them for bananas when the time comes. Jiu Wentian took the small packet of dry food, and found that it was actually hard bread, and it was still okay with some hot water, and it was indeed difficult to swallow dry food.

Jiu Wentian broke a piece and threw it at a monkey, and the monkey grabbed it as soon as he saw that something was thrown over, and then looked at it and put it in his mouth to chew it, and after a while, he spit it out, looking at Jiu Wentian with a disgusting expression.

"I, I don't think this thing works, and the monkey doesn't eat it at all. Jiu Wentian couldn't help but shout.

I didn't think that Jiu Wentian turned his head and saw Cao Tianyun eating there by himself, and he was quite enjoying his expression, and Jiu Wentian almost complained about it. However, when Jiu Wentian saw that all the monkeys on Cao Tianyun's side stopped to watch Cao Tianyun eat, at this time, Jiu Wentian seemed to have come up with it, probably to demonstrate to these monkeys, otherwise this monkey would not have tried.

But even if they eat it themselves, they won't necessarily try it.

Cao Tianyun said: "This is to be chewed slowly to have a fragrance, after all, it is dry food, how can there be a ready-made meal to eat deliciously." After chewing for a while, it is soft, and then it is ready to eat. ”

Jiu Wentian learned from Cao Tianyun's appearance and began to put a piece in his mouth, and then chewed slowly, at first it was the same as eating a piece of tasteless and hard bread, but after waiting for a while, Jiu Wentian felt that a sweet taste appeared in his mouth.
