Chapter 15: On the Edge of the Mountains

It was late at night, and the wind began to blow in the woods, but due to the obstruction of the surrounding branch barriers, the six people were not blown by the cold wind, and after everyone was full, there was still a lot of snake meat left, Zilong picked up the snake skin that had been dried by Puyang Chusheng, wrapped the remaining snake meat, moved the fire again, dug a small pit, buried the snake meat, and finally moved the fire back and put it on top of the snake meat, so that the snake meat could keep the heat all the time, and tomorrow morning, everyone had food to eat.

Zilong asked the five of them to rest, and kept vigil alone to prevent monsters from attacking, at first all five of them objected, but Zilong knew that they were already very tired, so they didn't pay attention, and everyone had no choice but to sleep obediently.

After a night of silence, the next morning, the six of them ate some of the snake meat left over from last night, and after a night's rest, everyone's spirits were restored, and they put out the fire and continued on the road.

In the morning the forest was lightly misty, the air was humid, and the leaves were constantly condensed with dew, which gathered into large droplets and fell to the ground, as if they were walking in a drizzle, and had to put a shield to keep the dew out.

A few people walked forward with a deep foot and a shallow foot, Shang Mu She Tong was still in front of the branches blocking the way, and there were small squirrels jumping over the trees from time to time, and sometimes, the big snake in the forest would suddenly attack the six people, and they were all cut off by Puyang Chusheng with a wind blade, but they did not bring the dead snake meat, because the extra things would increase the burden for them, and this kind of snake is everywhere in the forest, so you don't have to worry about not being able to catch it.

Suddenly, Zilong stopped suddenly, and the five people looked at him suspiciously, only to see him take a few steps forward, lower his body and pick up something from the ground, several people came up curiously, and at a glance, their faces showed surprise, Zilong was holding the map they threw away, which showed that they were lost, and yesterday's day's itinerary was just going around in circles.

Zilong's brows tightened, pondered for a while, and then threw away the map in his hand violently, and said to Puyang Chusheng and Gongye Wenyu: "You two take turns to explore the way in the air, so you should be able to find a way out." ”

Puyang Chusheng nodded, his feet slowly left the ground, and flew into the air, Zilong turned around and said, "Let's follow Puyang Chusheng, everyone be careful." ”

The group nodded and continued on their way. In this way, Puyang Chusheng and Gongye Wenyu are basically replaced once an hour, and they will not feel too tired. Half a day passed, and the group finally reached the very center of the forest, and their pace began to slow down, because the trees here were too luxuriant, and many times dozens of trees were entangled to form a tree wall, which made them have to make a hole in the tree wall before they could continue to move forward.

As he slowly deepened, Zilong felt that something was wrong, since he walked through the central area, he had never seen any small animals, not even harassing beasts, there was a very strange atmosphere around him, he frowned, told the people around him to be careful, and motioned to Gongye Wenyu in the air to look around to see what was different, Gongye Wenyu nodded knowingly, and probed on a large scale.

After a while, Gongye Wenyu flew back, landed in front of Zilong, his face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "There is a small waterhole not far ahead, within a radius of one mile around the waterhole, there are no trees and weeds, and it is bare, it should be a problem with the water, and you can reach the foot of the eastern mountains through the waterhole." ”

Zilong nodded, thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "Then can we take a detour?"

"Yes, but in that case, it would be another wasted day. Gongye Wenyu calculated the distance and said to Zilong.

"Let's walk through it, it's just a waterhole, we just don't touch it, I don't want to spend another day in this gloomy woods. As soon as Sigleqin heard that it would take another day, he immediately dragged Zilong and pouted and complained.

Zilong thought for a while and said, "It's okay, but you must remember not to touch the water in that pool." ”

Everyone nodded, Gongye Wenyu rose into the air again, leading the way for the five people below, Zilong walked to the front this time, cautiously leaned forward, and finally walked out of this forest after a while, Gongye Wenyu also fell to the ground, in front of him was a clearing, there was no living life on the ground, and the forest surrounded this place in an arc.

Zilong looked at the ground, it didn't seem to be caused by poisoning, and the soil was hard, and it had to fight with the rocks, and several people slowly stepped on the land and walked forward slowly. Everyone felt a solemn atmosphere in the air, which made their breathing become rapid, and their steps couldn't help but become slow. After a long time, the small pool that Gongye Wenyu said finally appeared in people's sight, Zilong stopped and asked the others not to move forward, he clearly felt a powerful and dangerous aura hidden in the pool.

Zilong turned around and said to the five people behind him with a serious face: "Let's walk towards the edge of this land, don't approach the pool in front of us. There was a majesty in his tone that could not be refused.

Everyone was puzzled, but they didn't question it, they knew that Zilong would definitely have his reason when he said this, but the Sigreqin seemed a little reluctant.

When they reached the edge of this strange land, the sky had begun to darken, Zilong told everyone to travel overnight, not to stay here for a long time, as soon as the words fell, the ground under them shook violently. A few people looked back, only to see the edge of the pool, a dragon head monkey body monster jumped out of the pool, Zilong saw that he hurriedly told everyone to lie on the ground and hold his breath, the monster stood next to the pool, the head turned east and west, inadvertently, its eyes swept over the place where Zilong and several people were, paused slightly, and then took a step forward, Zilong and a few people were so nervous that they didn't dare to move, while covering their mouths and stopping their breathing, the monster leaned forward again, and then moved his eyes to other places, and jumped into the pool when he found that there was no situation。 It's just that a few people are far away, otherwise, they will find that the water in the pool did not make any ripples at all when the monster jumped in, and the water seemed to be solidified.

Seeing the monster enter the pool, Zilong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and Sigreqin also gasped and asked Zilong curiously: "What kind of monster is that, how can it be so strange?"

Zilong glanced at her, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "That's the Cave Beast, it usually lives in weak water, it seems that this land is the masterpiece of that pool of weak water." ”

"What is weak water?" asked Sgloqin, confused.

"A drop of weak water weighs a thousand pounds, and the Cave Beast lives in this kind of water, and the creatures that often come close to it will be eaten by it. Zilong is no stranger to this, and he told everyone in detail.

When a few people heard it, they were also surprised, a drop of weak water weighs a thousand catties, this pool of weak water... Isn't that beast mighty? Thinking of this, several people didn't dare to imagine the consequences of them approaching the pool of weak water, Zilong calmly judged: "It seems that we have to take a detour, with the strength of our people, it is not enough to defeat it." ”

Everyone nodded, deeply feeling Zilong's wisdom. Followed by Zilong slowly walked forward along the edge of the land, all the way through, everyone tried to slow down the pace of breathing, not to make a sound, for fear of luring the beast out again, and at that time I don't know if there is good luck to avoid it again.

The sky is getting darker and darker, the sun has completely set, the moon is gradually revealing its outline, Zilong and the others are still in a hurry, not staying in this dangerous and strange place, and in the dark night, this land, because there is no tree to block, the moonlight shines down, the ground is covered with a faint cyan light, and the weak water in the pool in the distance is a piece of black hole, as if it is a demon's open mouth, wanting to devour everything in the world, which makes people shudder.

Zilong's heart is not the slightest relaxation now, he knows that the black hole is caused by the weak water completely absorbing the light of the moon, even the light can not escape the absorption of the weak water, but the beast can survive under such conditions, he doesn't know if there is anything in this world that can defeat this monster, maybe only when it reaches the holy level can it have the power to fight, but the legendary sage, will it really exist? No one will know.

After driving all night, it was not until the darkness gradually faded and the sun rose into the sky again, that it came out of the scope of the erosion of the pool. Zilong looked up at the floating white clouds, the breeze blew slowly, there seemed to be something in his heart that had passed by, and it flew away in an instant, he sighed softly, sorted out his messy mood, and looked back at the five people who followed him, there was no doubt, his eyes were full of trust and he felt very relieved, wherever he went, they would follow, although this night, they were all very hard.

Far away, the eastern mountains have appeared in their sight, the mountains are like turbulent waves, wave after wave, can not see the edge, among the mountains, gray and green coexist, rocks and flowers and trees coexist, although single, but not monotonous, at a glance, full of vitality.

After a while, Zilong and the others finally arrived at the corner of the eastern mountains. They all stopped in unison, and what appeared in front of them was a cliff hundreds of zhang high, there was no place to climb, the entire stone wall was like a smooth mirror, there was no focus point, Zilong frowned, looked back at Puyang Chusheng, Gongye Wenyu and Shang Mu She Tong and said in a deep voice: "Can each of the three of you send one person up?"

Gongye Wenyu quickly said: "This is impossible, the strength of the three of us is not enough to send people to a hundred zhang, but the three of us can work together." ”

Zilong thought for a while and said, "If that's the case, send all three of us up, can you go up by yourself?"

Gongye Wenyu glanced up and said, "It's impossible to go up right away, but it's okay to take a break." β€œ

Zilong nodded, flipped his wrist, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, you send me up first, if there is no problem, I will throw a stone to signal, and then you send the two of them up, we will wait for you above." ”
