Chapter 17: Anomaly
The four of them walked for two hours without encountering a single demon beast, not even an ordinary beast. In addition, there was a fat man who kept muttering that he was hungry, so he found a slightly open place to rest.
"Senior Brother Ye Tian, how big is this back mountain?"
Fang Xun thought that he hadn't encountered any demon beasts in the morning, if he had missed them all four of them.
As soon as Fang Xun finished asking, Wang Yuan swallowed the meatloaf in his mouth violently.
"I know this, I've heard a few high-level senior brothers talk about it before. The origin of this back mountain has already been told to you yesterday. It is the high-level senior brother who is interested, and often captures demon beasts from the outside for fun or domestication as their pet beasts, and at the same time can also show their own strength. But demon beasts are demon beasts after all, and unlike ordinary beasts, they also already have anthropomorphic thoughts and emotions. Not all demon beasts are willing to be domesticated, let alone entertained, so there are cases where demon beasts escape and hurt low-level disciples. Then, the elders used this original barren mountain as a stocking place for those demon beasts, and banned them in the formation. ”
"It is precisely because of such a place to raise demon beasts that the senior brothers of the high realm are even more happy to capture the demon beasts from the outside, but they slowly found that this barren mountain is almost unable to accommodate it. At this time, our hall master made a move! I saw him capture the mountain with one hand! I don't know where to go, he kept capturing mountains one after another, which was used to fill this place! As a result, we have this place of experience now, and the senior brothers of the high realm are even more happy to go around capturing demon beasts, which can not only help the junior disciples of the low realm to experience themselves, but also they can also get contribution points. And the place where we have been practicing here has been hundreds of years now! So now our back mountain is not just a small mountain, there are many, many mountains behind it, this is the feat of our hall master!"
I saw Wang Yuan dancing with his eyebrows dancing to Fang Xun about the origin of the back mountain, and when he said that when Feng Lao stepped on the void and grabbed the mountain with one arm, he was even more spittle, and he couldn't wait to replace him.
But Fang Xun looked at him quietly and said:
"But you still haven't said how big the mountain is?"
"Uh......"
As soon as these words came out, even Ye Tian couldn't help laughing wildly.
Then Fang Xun's words made everyone gradually lose their smiles, causing the three of them to ponder.
"It's been hundreds of years now! It stands to reason that even if there are disciples who have been training here, there should be enough demon beasts here. Could it be that this place is too close to the mountain gate, and it has been slaughtered by the powerful senior brothers?"
For hundreds of years, almost all the disciples who entered the inner realm were low-level disciples below the True Yuan Realm. Even if there are enough people, the killing speed is definitely not comparable to the reproduction speed of demon beasts.
After all, the base of demon beasts is large enough, and the varieties and numbers of demon beasts that low-realm disciples can kill are limited.
What's more, there are also high-level senior brothers who continue to capture demon beasts from outside as supplements, because since this place has become a place of training, the captured demon beasts will be counted as their contribution points, and they have motivation.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Tian looked at Ye Wei and Wang Yuan and said slowly:
"What Senior Brother Fang said is true! It's only been less than a year since we last entered the mountain. The last time I came here, even the place where the mountain gate was located, there were demon beasts revealed, although they were all relatively weak, but they still existed after all. On the other hand, today, we have been walking non-stop for two hours. An ordinary person can walk about twenty-eight miles in an hour, although our realm is low, although we can't fly in the air, but after all, we are also people who cultivate martial arts, and our foot strength is much stronger than ordinary people, and the speed will be much faster. You can travel about thirty-five miles in one hour, and seventy miles in two hours!"
Ye Tian's words made everyone chuckle in their hearts, and there seemed to be some bad premonition.
Ye Tian continued:
"Even if the mountain road is winding, we have at least forty to fifty miles deep!"
Ye Wei frowned slightly and asked:
"Will they be driven away by the other fellow disciples? They all fled to the mountain? After all, we haven't even met a fellow disciple along the way. ”
Ye Tian shook his head:
"I don't know, although there are only two routes to the left and right, but there are many forks in the road, and the chance of encountering the same gate is not very large. Although we entered the mountain from the right this time, when we passed the first fork in the road, we chose a different route than last time, and the places we went to were all unfamiliar places. ”
Ye Tian paused and continued:
"So let's take the next route depending on the situation. Everyone also relaxed a little, not too nervous, so as not to backfire. The only thing to note is that we must find a relatively open place to camp before dark to ensure the safety of the night. In any case, fortunately, Senior Brother Fang reminded us in time, so that we could prepare in advance. There is a saying among the common people: "When the soldiers come, the water will cover the earth!" As long as everyone cheers up, it will be enough to deal with all crises!"
At this moment, Ye Tian completely played the role of a leader.
A complete judgment of the current situation was made not only through argumentation. And it also adjusted everyone's mood in time and boosted morale.
In the words, the role of Fang Xun is highlighted.
Fang Xun's question was taken as an early warning. Subtly, Fang Xun was firmly fixed in this small group, so that everyone would not ignore him because of his low realm.
Even Ye Wei slowly changed his opinion of Fang Xun because of this, although it may have only changed from a big oil bottle to a small oil bottle.
But at least there is an increase in the sense of identity, no.
After the four of them deliberated for a while, they set off again.
Just like the two hours in the morning, there was no danger along the way, not even the shadow of the demon beast.
Such an anomaly also made the four of them gradually become silent.
"Brother, it's getting dark. The forests are deep and leafy, and our vision will soon be blocked. ”
The four of them hurried for an afternoon, but they could not find an open area suitable for camping. Ye Wei had no choice but to ask Ye Tian for advice, hoping that Ye Tian would have an idea.
Ye Tian didn't stop, and he didn't know if he was thinking about anything, so he didn't answer Ye Wei's words.
Maybe he doesn't have any good solutions in his heart, the only thing he knows is that time waits for no one, and there is no room for delay now.
Fang Xun looked around and asked Wang Yuan softly:
"Is there a fire fold?"
Wang Yuan was stunned by his question, and with a blink of an eye, he took out a fire fold from his arms and handed it to Fang Xun.
"Give me your weapon. ”
Although Wang Yuan didn't know what he was going to do, he did it. His right hand was clenched beside him, and an axe appeared in his hand. Such a scene makes Fang Xun yearn!
Treasure of Secrets!
Secret treasures are also weapons, armor and the like, but they are made by refining various materials by refiners.
The secret treasure of a martial artist can be refined and collected into the body, and it can be summoned with a single thought, just like Wang Yuan.
It's just that Fang Xun doesn't have his own secret treasure yet.
Seeing this scene, he secretly thought that he would ask for a handsome from the old man after he went back, and he thought that the old man would not refuse to give it, and it must be an extraordinary thing.
I have to say that this big axe is quite compatible with Wang Yuan's size, and there is no sense of disobedience, but in Fang Xun's hands, it is not like that, it looks nondescript.
Fortunately, he only borrowed it for a while.
Fang Xun took Wang Yuan's big axe and rushed towards a giant tree. The reason why it is called a giant tree is because this tree is several feet high, and it is as thick as seven or eight people's arms.
Ye Tian, who was at the forefront, noticed Fang Xun's movements, and it was too late to stop him if he wanted to say anything.
But looking at his next move, he also understood.
Seeing Fang Xun using his hands and feet together, he climbed up in three or two clicks, and cut down all the branches that blocked his vision as he climbed, and the light under the tree gradually increased a lot.
Fang Xun had climbed to the top of the tree in less than a moment, and climbed down after watching for a while:
"Three senior brothers, this should be the tallest tree nearby. As far as my eye can see, in the right front of us in the direction we are now walking, there is an open field about seven or eight miles away, but it seems to be on the edge of a cliff!"
Ye Tian nodded in support without hesitation, and led everyone to rush towards the cliff.
The distance of seven or eight miles would take at least half an hour according to their speed, and the dense forests around them also caused the light in the mountains and forests to dim at a very fast speed.
Fortunately, Fang Xun collected a large number of dead branches and leaves along the way and made them into torches, one for each person, otherwise their situation would be even more embarrassing.
When they lit the torches, it meant that they couldn't see anything in the dense forest, and they couldn't even judge the direction, so they could only rely on Fang Xun to climb the treetops again and again to observe.
When Fang Xun cut off one branch after another, a trace of warm light finally came through, which increased the sense of security in everyone's hearts a lot.
When Fang Xun came down from the tree again, he also got the news they were most looking forward to from Fang Xun's mouth.
"The direction is right! less than three miles away!"
This is indeed an exciting piece of good news, even the speed under everyone's feet has become much faster, even if the vision is dim, the four of them only need less than a stick of incense to reach the open land of the cliff!
At this point, all four of them spit out a mouthful of turbidity!
