Chapter 4: Arrogant Pheasant

Liji Water is the name of a river, and its source is in Zhaoyao Mountain, which is the place Li Mang is looking for on this trip. Anyone who loves to venture into the primeval forest knows how important the stream is to the animals of the forest.

Therefore, Li Mang hoped to find something at the source of the Liji water.

However, Li Mang had just walked out of less than 100 meters before he stopped, and his eyes lit up as he looked at a stone under his feet.

Yes, it's a stone, but this stone is golden, definitely more dazzling than the local tyrant gold, and under the refraction of the light, it is enough to blind Li Mang's titanium alloy eyeballs.

"I'm dripping gods!" Li Mang squatted down, picked up the stone and looked left and right, and knocked it with the kitchen knife in his hand, and soon concluded that this was a piece of gold or pure.

This is just the surface of the earth, there is gold exposed, this piece is large, at a glance, there is a dazzling sand stone, shockingly full of gold sand.

"Is this the rhythm of getting rich?" Li Mang said this very calmly.

It's really calm, it's not that Li Mang doesn't love money, it's just that Li Mang now has money and no place to spend it, after all, Yanhuang restricts his freedom, there is no girl to soak, there is no place to drive a sports car, and there is no need to rush to buy a house, and tens of thousands of salaries in the past six months are still in the bank!

And although Li Mang's hometown is not rich, at least it is rich and well-fed, everything is fine, he does not ask for any great wealth, he is a contented person with little ambition.

Yes, this large piece of gold, as well as gold sand all over the ground, only shocked Li Mang, but that's all.

Besides, he didn't bring anything with him now, so let's dig it again when he has the opportunity to do it later!

Throwing the golden stone under the root of a laurel tree, Li Mang continued on his way.

"Squeak ......"

The monkey cry from the front shocked Li Mang's spirit, but he didn't dare to go up easily, after all, monkeys are not necessarily friendly animals, not to mention that they are monkeys in the realm of mountains and seas, whether they will be very ferocious, Li Mang does not know.

Li Mang walked slowly with his waist bent, and soon saw the source of the cry, his face was full of surprise, and his mouth couldn't close for a long time.

Ahead is already the Liji Water, a beautiful stream, like a Milky Way cutting through the ancient forest. Through the misty hub Li Mang Zhilu Road, this side is Zhaoyao Mountain, and on the other side of the creek is the second mountain of the Queshan mountain system - Tangting Mountain.

The cry came from the opposite Tangting Mountain, and there were no other animals in the eye, except for the monkeys, the number could not be counted, in short, it was a large area of darkness, looking at the front from a distance and messy, I was afraid that there were tens of thousands of them, just like a honeycomb, it was really terrifying.

What surprised Li Mang even more was that this was definitely not an ordinary monkey, it looked like a monkey, but it had no tail, thick arms, bigger than feet, white hair, and was good at climbing.

On the opposite side was no longer a laurel tree, but a large field of fruit trees full of red fruits, like apples, but not the same. And these white apes are scurrying up and down with swift movements, so cheerful, but also full of natural atmosphere.

"Are these ancient white apes?" Li Mang swallowed his saliva, not only because of the strong bodies of these guys, but also because of their number and fierce appearance, if they rashly appeared on the other side, they were afraid that they would be directly torn apart.

"Whew...... Squeaky ......"

Because of the elimination of danger, Li Mang had already come to the bank of the stream, and the white apes on the opposite side naturally discovered his appearance, and they all gathered on the opposite bank at the moment, screaming, gesturing, provocative, and not weak.

If there wasn't a stream nearly fifty meters wide in the middle, these guys would have rushed over and tore Li Mang apart.

Li Mang did not doubt this.

“…… Do you need that? Li Mang pretended to be calm, in fact, he was very scared, it was really that the tens of thousands of monkeys on the other side were too powerful, even if he knew that they could not come, he still felt shocked, no wonder there were no other animals on this shore, they were scared away and did not dare to come here!

Li Mang's gaze took a long time to return to the stream in front of him from the opposite side, perhaps because of the proximity to the source, coupled with the lack of any pollution, the water quality was terrifyingly clear, like a mirror.

The water in the middle of the creek is very deep, and it can be seen to be ten meters, but it is still visible, and the stones at the bottom of the water and the fish swimming in the water are clearly visible.

"What kind of fish are these?" Li Mang couldn't help but be surprised.

The swimming fish in the water are very peculiar, and can even be said to be weird, there are black, yellow and purple, not to mention the different colors, many of them are partly legged, some are two, some are four, this is normal, some have only one foot, three feet and other peculiar numbers, the look is also very strange, completely beyond Li Mang's cognition.

However, these fish were very vigilant, and their awareness was extremely strong, and Li Mang did not have half of them within a radius of ten meters, deliberately avoiding him.

"Ben thought I'd like to grab some and try them out! Now it seems that there is no way, and all of them have become fine. Li Mang could only look at his greed, for some reason, Li Mang felt delicious when he saw these swimming fish, as a foodie, he still had eyesight.

"Get the source above and walk around."

After hesitating for a while on the choice between going up and down, Li Mang finally decided to go upstream, hoping to find the source of the Liji water, this stream is so beautiful and wonderful, he has to see how it was born.

Going up this way, Li Mang was an eye-opener, not only said that the swimming fish in the water were really peculiar, but there were many interesting gadgets on the shore.

Jade is the most common, there are on the shore and underwater, the pieces are crystal clear, it is really beautiful, and it is considered a fine product in the outside world, and it deserves the name of Kui Bao. If it is to sell money, Li Mang can become the god of wealth just by the bank of this stream.

What's more interesting is that these jade stones are not only different in color, but also in strange shapes, although Li Mang persuaded himself that he couldn't take it back without a bag, but every time he encountered a beautiful piece of beauty, he couldn't help but stop and pick it up, and his pocket really couldn't fit it, so he simply took off the shirt on his upper body, and put it on the jade that looked right in his hand as a package.

But even so, Li Mang's clothes were filled quickly, and he had no choice but to reluctantly give up and continue to search.

Unconsciously, Li Mang had already walked to the source of the Liji water.

In front of you is a large and wide stone mountain, and the spring water seeps out of the mountain, making a gurgling sound, which is wonderful. Sufficient water also forms a large beautiful forest on both sides, in addition to the cinnamon wood that can be seen everywhere in Zhaoyao Mountain, there is also a large piece of Xiangfei bamboo, which is full of aura and dots, like a jade carving, very beautiful.

Looking up, the stone mountain is high, and the back is gray, not white fog, it seems that there is no space in front of it, and it seems that something intercepts the space in front of it.

"Could it be that this is the end of the Nanshan Sutra?" Li Mang's heart is not calm, but the space here is too weird and contrary to common sense.

Recalling the map of the Nanshan Sutra through the maze, the front is indeed the end of the Nanshan Sutra, but the earth in real life is round, there is no end of the world, and there should be no end to space.

But the scene in front of me really happened.

"This shouldn't be the end of space, it's just a restriction, a restriction on my area of activity by the Mountains and Seas Realm." Li Mang has another view.

This is by no means Li Mang's random guess, he wanted to open the second page of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, but he didn't succeed, and now in retrospect, Li Mang guessed that it was also because of his lack of authority.

"Does that mean that I can only operate in the Nanshan Jing Map realm at the moment?" Li Mang made a bold guess again.

However, this is not the immediate thing, and the most important thing now is to understand the situation of the space, especially the environment.

The top is already at the end, and the front is cut off by a stream, so you can only swim through it, or make a bamboo raft boat.

Li Mang has not seen the rear and below, but judging from the map of the Nanshan Sutra, there is no road in the rear, and the lower part is also separated by the Liji Water, Li Mang wants to appreciate the rest of the Nanshan Sutra, and can only flow through the Limuji Water to the second Tangting Mountain on the opposite bank, but the conditions are not very allowable at present.

First of all, there are no bamboo rafts. Although Li Mang can swim over, there are snakes in the water, and even some fierce fish, and if he swims rashly, he is afraid that his hundred catties will be divided by unknown species.

In addition, starting from the Tangting Mountain opposite, there will be fierce beasts in the mountain, not to mention anything else, those white apes on the opposite side look very ferocious, and they should not be rashly intruded.

"Now I need to get acquainted with this first mountain so that I can prepare for the next one." Li Mang made arrangements for himself.

But then what made Li Mang feel strange was that this Zhaoyao Mountain was also beautiful, with mountains and water, but he never saw a beast, like a safe area.

"Is it because it's set up with my safety in mind?" If Li Mang has an understanding, of course, he can't rule out the reason why he hasn't encountered it yet, after all, there are still very few places where Li Mang has passed.

“…… Pheasant! Sure enough, Li Mang's eyes lit up then, it turned out that he saw a pheasant with feathers slowly walking out of the bamboo forest of Xiangfei, don't look at it as just a pheasant, but its feathers are smooth and long, very majestic and beautiful.

But Li Mang didn't care about this, he only saw a plate of delicious food beckoning to him! At that moment, he carefully put the package in his hand on the ground, thought about it and put down the kitchen knife, only holding a twenty-inch long watermelon knife, and cautiously approached the past.

Li Mang's hometown is in the mountains and forests, and he often goes to the forest to catch pheasants and hares when he is young, and naturally has a pair of fiery eyes. The pheasant in front of you can see that it is fat, and it is definitely a delicious dish, which must not be missed.

“…… Strange, this pheasant is not afraid of people. Li Mang stopped five meters away from the pheasant, but he didn't feel right.

The pheasant is very vigilant, if it encounters the wind and grass, it will immediately run away, but this one in front of him is wonderful, obviously he has discovered Li Mang's approach, but he just shook his feathers and looked warning and arrogant, and he didn't escape.

"Hey! This pheasant is afraid that he has never encountered danger, so he thinks he is very powerful! Li Mang smiled secretly, the soles of his feet were full of strength, and he raised the watermelon knife and chased after him with an arrow.

"Wow!!"

However, who knows, this arrogant pheasant was not only not scared away, but supported the ground with both feet, and the sand and gravel collapsed, only to see it jump high all of a sudden, with a pair of claws like the head of a spear, and at the same time, the sharp pecking mouth was also raised high, aiming at Li Mang and flying quickly, the speed was beyond Li Mang's imagination.

In addition, Li Mang lost his mind, and he was actually caught by this pheasant close to him, and his sharp claws were fiercely grabbed at Li Mang's chest!

"Shh

Li Mang is now naked, and the skin on his chest is as if it has been gouged, and there are several deep blood marks.

"Poof!"

However, what made Li Mang suffer was still behind, and the sharp chicken mouth actually pecked down on his shoulder, and a large piece of flesh was directly taken out.

"Ahh

Li Mang screamed, but at the same time, he reacted, taking advantage of the opportunity to instinctively turn sideways, he used all his strength to slash at the pheasant with a watermelon knife.

"Poof!"

The watermelon knife slashed the pheasant's neck, and the entire arrogant head was slashed to the ground, but the lower half of the pheasant's body still did not die directly, lying on the ground struggling hard, and once the tough rock on the ground met its claws, it was directly scratched and crushed, which made people feel terrible.
