Chapter 14: Farewell to Mr. Heyon

Wu Guang then realized that the beds in the hall had been made, and these were placed in the space between the pillars and the outer wall. He had a straw mattress and wool blanket, and Wu Guang happily got into it. The flames were extinguished, and he fell into a deep sleep, but he woke up in the middle of the night: there was only a glimmer of light left in the flames, and the ground was sprinkled with moonlight, shining through the holes in the roof.

He touched the ring in his bag, the dull blood-red color that looked terrifying in the darkness. He looked at the seemingly ordinary ring repeatedly, and his soul seemed to be sucked into it. He had not forgotten the world in his dream, where the gloom covered the entire sky, with the bottomless lake, cold to the bone, and the old man who had guessed a riddle with him, his hands chained to the stone wall at the bottom of the lake.

In the end, Wu Guang put the ring back in his bag, hid in the blanket, and finally fell asleep.

When he woke up, it was already dawn. Dali accidentally tripped over him, and when Wu Guang opened his eyes, the people of the Sand Country were muttering about it.

"The great novelist is getting up soon," he said, "or you won't have breakfast!"

Wu Guang jumped up, a bright light flashed in his eyes, "Breakfast! Where's breakfast?"

"Most of it is in our bellies," said Genesis and Autumn Breeze as they walked up and down the hall with interest, "and the rest was on the balcony, and we had been looking for Heon since the sun came out, but we couldn't even see his shadow." However, we went out together and found that breakfast was ready. ”

"What about Andorra?"

"Oh, I guess it's outside. Genesis said. But they didn't see any sign of the white-robed mage until evening. Before sunset, he ran out of energy, the people of the Fog Country and the Dragon Country were happily dining, and the three sheep demons in Hai Weng's family were still entertaining everyone. They hadn't heard anything from Hayon since last night, leaving them quite confused.

"Where's Mr. Heon, where has he gone?" asked Dali and Erni.

Finally, Andorra managed to put down his glass and plate and pick up the wooden glass filled with red wine. Perhaps because of magic, the smell of wine of all colors wafted through the hall: green, blue, red, silver-gray, yellow, white, large and small, constantly coming out of the glasses, some big chasing the small, some small chasing the big ones, and some gathering together.

"I was tracking the footprints of the wolf demon before," he finally said, "Last night, dozens of kilometers away, there seemed to be another big gathering. Heyon and I both know very well that wolf demons don't like to gather in large numbers, unless they want to start a war. They came from all directions, probably in hundreds, probably from the west across the riverbank, where the mountain range is. There were a lot of deliberately covered tracks in that place, but they didn't seem to point to Maklo, knowing that it was not difficult to get from the ferry to Maklo, but perhaps it was because of the fear of Heon, or maybe there was something else for the purpose of their assembly. That must have been what they were discussing, and at the time, it was getting late, and even Hion and I couldn't guarantee that we would keep following them without being detected. You know, the strength of those wolf demons is very strong. Some of the footprints seem to lead to the green hills, if you guess right. They were supposed to visit the Fox Demon King Li Xuan. Andorra sat back and did not speak for a long time.

Wu Guang thought he had finally fully understood Andorra's meaning once and for all. "What should we do, do we need to go back to Qingqiu?" he asked, "If Li Xuan is notified in advance, Qingqiu will be very troublesome." ”

"I do think the same way, but Li Xuan is not a different fox demon. With him, even if the Queen of Wanhuachao is personally recruited, he will not be able to get good fruits. Andor smiled, "Don't be stupid! go to bed, your head is not clear." ”

Wu Guang felt very depressed, but he couldn't find anything to do except sleep. When Honglushan and Genesis were still playing melodious music, he was already groggy, his mind was still thinking about the mystery of Heon, and hundreds of poets and demons appeared in his dreams chanting romantic and bold verses in the moonlight.

The next day, they were all called out by Heyon himself. "You're all still there!" he said, "It seems that everyone is sleeping soundly, have you found the black and white double emperor star ring in your dream?"

So once again they had eaten the breakfast that Heyon had prepared. Heon seemed to be in a particularly good mood, and he told many funny stories that made everyone laugh with him. The group didn't spend much time talking about the wolf demon again. Each of them was more than ten veins, and the young leader standing in the center of the circle was even stronger, and as Andorra said, he was even able to challenge the king of the hills. Judging from the information collected by the white-robed mage and Hai Weng, the wolf demon is planning to enter the tomb of the black and white double emperor star to obtain the power of the black and white double emperor star ring, so as to unify the divided wolf clan, and then dominate the entire beast demon clan.

"With such a large-scale assembly of wolf demons, the Tushan Fox Demon will definitely not be unaware," Hai Weng said, "In addition, the Qinghil Fox Demon, the Bear Demon, and the Deer Demon - all the beast demons should all know about it." ”

"In this way, the news of the tomb of the black and white twin emperor stars has been known to the entire demon clan. Qiu Feng said: "The demon clan is likely to fight for the Black and White Double Emperor Star Ring, if we can pass through this gap and skillfully turn around, we will definitely be able to save unnecessary trouble." ”

"You guys have good ideas, and it seems that I can't give you more effective advice on travel. "But before I do that, I would like to give you a word of advice: you can't trust anyone in the Dark Forest, except your comrades and parents, who can trust your life." If you encounter any difficulties, I will do my best to help you within my ability. ”

Later, Heon gave a man a good horse, and these animals could carry them through the forest, and carry food to eat for a week. The luggage is specially packed, making it easy to carry it. Nuts in sealed jars, red grapes in backpacks, and bread baked twice, they are kept by customers for a long time. This cake is similar to the Holy Alliance's compressed biscuits, and it only takes one bite to go a long way. How to make these cakes is a recipe for everyone in the demon world, but like most foods, there are taboos, honey, and spring water in them.

"You have to be careful, especially in the dark forest, where it's easy to get lost, and everywhere is full of dangers and difficulties," he said. There is a river in the forest, and the strong black water cuts the way, and with a sip, the soul disappears. So, don't touch that water, legend has it that a long time ago, the black mage set up a powerful magic circle there in order to block the attack of the demon clan, which will make people drowsy and have long-term memory loss. In that dense forest, whether the animals are edible or not, you have to stay a long distance away from the road to have a chance of finding food. Overall, be careful. I wish you all the best of luck and my doors are open for you as long as you have the chance to return. ”

They saluted, took off their hats many times, and kept saying, "Thank you, great King Maclos, for your hospitality and advice!" Even if they reach the Tomb of the Black and White Emperor safely, the Guardian in the tombstone is still waiting for them.

The group had been busy preparing for the morning and soon had their last lunch with Heon, and as soon as they had finished eating, they climbed into the horses they had lent them and said goodbye to him, and drove out at a steady pace.

As soon as they left the fence, they turned westward, heading northwest. Under his advice, they were not prepared to take the main path of the Dark Forest, and if they went in that direction, they would eventually spit out the black water in the mountains. There, if their horses haven't run, they might be able to get by. After crossing the river, the road leads to the edge of the forest and leads to the entrance of the forest road. Heyon warns them that this will be the main road that the demon people often pass through, and that even Andorra does not know what the end of this road will be. Moreover, even if they managed to pass through here, they would still be far from the spatial displacement spirit array to the west of the Dark Forest, and they would still have to go through a very difficult journey to reach the location marked on the map.

"If I were you, I would head north, where the demons gather rarely, and then look for an opportunity to pass through the dark forest. Arrive at the end with the help of the moonlight, just before the demon sweep arrives. "That's Hayon's suggestion.

It is precisely because of this that the adventuring party will march in silence, and as long as the road is smooth, they will gallop on horseback. The dark Sacred Beast Mountain Range had always been on their left, and what should not have appeared here had appeared in front of them through a mirage. To a certain extent, this would cause confusion for someone like Wu Guang who could not open the vein, but to the rest of the party, it was nothing, whether it was Andorra or Genesis, they could clearly feel their bearings.

The sun had only moved westward when they set out, and now that it had set to the west, it was spilling out ten thousand golden ribbons, and it was hard for them to imagine if there were any enemies nearby. When they were fifty kilometers away from Heon's residence, the crowd began to laugh and talk, and Genesis once again pulled out the silver harmonica that he had so well preserved, completely forgetting that there was a dark forest in front of them. When night fell and the golden light reflected on the mountain peaks, they set up camp and arranged shifts to keep vigil. Even if all of them were masters of the Twelve Veins Sect except for Wu Guang, it was difficult to ensure that the enemy attacked during deep sleep, after all, this was a more dangerous demon clan territory than the Holy Alliance, and no one should take it lightly.
