After the drizzle, the faint scent of grass and the rich smell of soil fill the mountain forest, and a thin morning mist lingers on the forest branches, making this lush and lush world full of tranquility and mystery.

Several figures dressed as hunters walked quickly across the mountain paths, and their brisk and vigorous steps seemed to tell the joy in their hearts.

"Uncle! Rest your feet! A young hunter stopped, stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and shouted to the old hunter who walked in the front: "You old man should be strong, we can't keep up!" ”

The old hunter smiled and stopped: "You boys have really lost the face of the mountain people...... That's it! Just take a break! ”

The young people sat down against the trees as if they had been pardoned, and took out the leather bags around their waists and poured water into them.

Seeing that the old hunter was still staring at the depths of the mountain, a young man couldn't help but smile and said, "Uncle, you haven't entered the mountain for so long, you must be so anxious that your heart is itching!" ”

"That's nature!" The old hunter sighed and said, "Our mountain people have been in the mountains for generations, and of course we rely on the mountains to eat the mountains...... I haven't been in the mountains for a few months, and if I continue like this, I really have to drink the northwest wind! ”

"We're out of luck!" A young man muttered: "A few months ago, a team of military masters came to seal the mountain, followed by another earth movement, and even the mountain almost collapsed...... Uncle, our Shennong Mountain is really not peaceful! ”

"That's why the village chief will let us stop entering the mountain and pray to the gods for nine hundred and eighty-one days, hoping to seek the protection of the mountain gods......" The old hunter sighed again: "I hope that our sincerity will be useful, and we will never suffer disasters again!" ”

"That's right. Uncle! Another young man was curious: "Although our Shennong Mountain is only on the periphery of Taihang Mountain, it is rare for outsiders to come, how can it suddenly alarm the officials and soldiers to come here to close the mountain?" ”

The old hunter had not yet answered. A young man rushed to say: "I know this, once when I was giving game to the general of the officer's army, I overheard him talking about treasure with another general...... Could it be that there is a treasure in this mountain? ”

"Haha!" Several young people laughed together: "This mountain has rarely been visited by people for hundreds of years, what treasures will it have?" You just dream! ”

"Not really!" The old hunter suddenly spoke, and he muttered: "I heard people from the older generations say that about a hundred years ago, Wang Mang was in turmoil, right? There was also a group of officers and soldiers who drove into the mountains...... Maybe they're looking for a baby! ”

Hear him say that. A few young people immediately became energetic: "What about later? Did those officers and soldiers find the treasure? ”

"Found?" The old hunter smiled bitterly: "I heard that they all died in the mountains, and some people have found their bones decades later!" ”

"What?" The young people were shocked together, and they couldn't help but shudder: "How did you die?" ”

"Nobody knows!" The old hunter shook his head and said, "There weren't many people who dared to talk about this back then. I also listened to a few old people get drunk when I was young! ”

"My mother! There's nothing strange about this mountain, right? A young man couldn't help but turn pale.

"Phew!" The old hunter scoffed, "What oddities could it be? I've been in and out of this mountain for decades! Don't scare yourself, boy! ”

Amid the laughter of the crowd, the young man scratched his head embarrassedly.

"If only there were treasures!" A young man said with a look of hope: "In exchange for money, we can go to the city to live!" ”

"I advise you to dispel this stupid idea!" The old hunter said solemnly: "Although the mountains are hard, they can live a solid life...... I heard that there was chaos outside. People are dying every day. Are you kid getting impatient? ”

"That's what I said!" The young man also began to scratch his head: "Of course I know the horror outside, I heard that our ancestors moved to the mountains to live to escape the scourge of war!" ”

"If only you knew!" The old hunter sneered, "If it weren't for the foresight of the old ancestors, maybe there would be no you kid...... All right! Let's move on, a village of people is waiting for us to return with a full load! ”

"Let's go!" The young men jumped up one after another, and followed the old hunter on their way deeper into the mountains, but their mouths were still talking about the topic of Fang Cai.

As we continue to go deeper, the remnants of the terrible disaster of that day are gradually presented in front of everyone, and large blocks of mountains and rocks that have collapsed due to ground movement can be seen everywhere. Even the trees were smashed to pieces.

The hunters were shocked to see it, and gasped together. I couldn't help but rejoice in my heart. If it weren't for the fact that there were officials and soldiers closing the mountain that day, it would have been a few people because of this natural disaster.

"Oh my God! Such a thick tree has been smashed by the waist, and if it hits people, it will not be crushed? ”

"Yes! You see, the shape of that mountain is different from before, and it moves so much! ”

"I really want to thank those officers and soldiers, they can be regarded as preventing the disaster for us!"

"Why would they have withdrawn otherwise? I'm scared! ”

A few people turned around a hillside, and the old hunter inadvertently looked up, and suddenly exclaimed, "What is that!" ”

Several young men followed his dull gaze, and at the same time their faces changed drastically.

The mountain in front of me has completely changed its former appearance, as if it had been split from it, revealing a flat section like a wall...... The most bizarre thing is that in the middle of the mountain wall, which looks like a knife splitting an axe, a black cave is suddenly exposed.

"What is this?" The old hunter squinted his eyes and looked at the cave from a distance, and the horror in his eyes became stronger: "This cave seems to have been dug by man!" ”

"What?" Several young people exclaimed, "Could it be the treasure cave?" ”

A young man who usually reacts the fastest even guessed: "It must be...... This treasure cave has been secretly sealed, and it is difficult for outsiders to find it, but it was accidentally revealed because of a ground movement! ”

"Great, this is a godsend!" The young men cheered, and their eyes fell on the old hunter: "Uncle, let's go to the cave!" ”

The old hunter's face twisted, showing that he was struggling fiercely in his heart, and finally, he waved his hand violently: "Since you have met, there is no reason to let go!" Boys. Get the rope ready, let's climb to the top first, and then slide down the rope! ”

"Good!" The young people were ready in high spirits.

Saying goes. Wangshan ran a dead horse. The mountain seemed to be close at hand, but it was still a long way off, and the hunters had traveled for more than an hour to reach the summit, and had lowered their long ropes.

The old hunter is the most experienced, and his skills are not inferior to the young, and he takes on the heavy task of caving despite the unraveled opinions.

Looking at the figure of the old hunter gradually sliding down the rope. The young people were a little excited, and they couldn't say that this was the moment to change their lives......

The long rope suddenly pulled violently, which was the signal from the old hunter.

The young people were stunned. It's just going down! Why do you have to pull it up right away?

When the old hunter's face appeared from the edge of the cliff, everyone was startled...... The old hunter's face was blue and white, and his eyes were full of fear.

"Let's go!" The old hunter only said three words with trembling hands and trembling feet, and then ran away.

Looking at the predecessors who have always been known for their boldness on weekdays, they are also scared like this. The young people also panicked. I didn't even want a long rope, so I ran away.

Running all the way back to the place where the cave had been found, the old hunter finally stopped, and sat on the ground panting.

"Big ...... Uncle! A young man, whose heart was beating like a drum, sat down beside the old hunter and gasped, "Baby...... Where's the baby? ”

"baby!" The old hunter's eyes once again showed a look of fear: "It's all dead people's bones, and ......"

"What? Dead man's bones? The young men's eyes widened together, and they burst into laughter.

"Uncle. Are you afraid of dead human bones? A young man laughed so hard that tears came out: "Who of us hasn't seen it?" Uncle, you're really old, it's so embarrassing! ”

"Nope! No! The old hunter visibly stuttered, "It's all bones." At least hundred! ”

"Hundreds?" The young people were stunned, but the young man who reacted the fastest slapped his thigh: "That's right!" It must be a treasure cave! Haven't you heard of it? But where there are secret treasures, there are dead people...... The people in charge of burying the treasure have been wiped out! ”

"I'm going to get rich this time! Uncle, you didn't say it earlier! A young man forgot his fatigue and stood up "poof": "We ran back in vain!" Let's go back and dig for treasure! ”

"Nope! Can't go! The old hunter cried out, "There is a beast in that cave!" ”

"Beasts?" When the young people heard this, they were all angry: "Uncle, what are we going to eat when we go into the mountains?" It's a beast fighter! It's just a win-win! ”

"No, it's not! That beast is no ordinary beast! The old hunter's eyes were a little straight: "I have measured its paw prints in the cave...... It's so big! ”

Looking at the size that the old hunter had compared with his hand, the young men were stunned together, they were all experienced hunters, and of course they understood what that size meant.

Someone disagreed: "Isn't that bigger than a tiger?" Uncle, are you dazzled? ”

The old hunter was furious: "I'll be dazzled? You kid......"

Suddenly, his eyes froze, and he stretched out his hand in the direction of the cave, his mouth wide open but he couldn't say a word, as if he had seen a ghost.

Several young people turned around together...... On the steep mountain wall in the distance, I don't know when a colorful beast shadow appeared, it jumped lightly on the mountain wall, and the cliff like a knife and axe was like a leisurely stroll for it...... Look in the direction where the beast shadow went, it was the cave.

"Huh? So agile! A young man with a pergola on his face was shocked: "If you can easily move on the mountain wall, you are either a leopard or a bobcat!" However, there seems to be something wrong with this color! ”

Several young men breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and one of them shook his hand and took off the big bow behind his back, and said proudly: "Then it is enough for me to make a move...... Let's hope it's a leopard! In doing so, I am now five in total! ”

His companions smiled wryly and nodded, for the young man who spoke loudly was indeed the most valiant hunter in the village, and he had even hunted a tiger alone......

No one noticed that the old hunter's eyes were staring at the beast figure for a moment, and his body trembled even more.

"Ao-" A terrifying roar suddenly came, as if it was close to the ears, and shook the hearts of all the hunters, and they almost lost their footing.

The terrifying roar of the beast echoed through the mountains, and it shook the hearts of the hunters like a ghost crying god. It makes them feel like they are in the most terrifying nightmare...... The faces of the young people changed suddenly, and based on their experience, they could easily tell that this beast's roar was definitely not a leopard, let alone a tiger. It's a kind of behemoth they've never heard of.

The old hunter finally came to his senses, and he screamed, "It smells the scent I left in the cave...... Come on! Otherwise, it will follow the smell in a rage! ”

The fear of the unknown filled the hearts of the young people, especially after seeing the terrifying ability of the beast to walk on the cliff as if it were walking on the ground, and even the most arrogant hunter did not dare to regain the determination to fight against it. Everyone made the right choice...... Escape!

After stumbling over a few mountains, everyone collapsed to the ground like mud, sweating and wheezing.

"So, what's that?" A young man trembled, "Just if it's a leopard." But listen to its roar...... Ten times more terrifying than a tiger! ”

"It was too far away for us to judge its size!" Another young man also trembled and said, "It seems that Uncle is not wrong, it is much bigger than a tiger!" ”

"More than the size of a tiger. Better than the ocelot's agility......" The old hunter murmured, and he suddenly groaned, "It's a youkai!" ”

"Youkai?" The young men trembled, and they all saw the boundless fear in their companions' pupils...... They are not afraid of beasts and face the legendary monsters. But there is only a cringe.

"This Shennong Mountain. We can't go in any more! The old hunter was stunned for a long time before he said categorically: "Back to the village, we must immediately report this news to the village chief!" ”

The group walked towards the mountain with heavy steps, but the mood was like a cloud when they entered the mountain. The old hunter looked back suddenly, and finally took a deep look at the depths of Shennong Mountain, and finally let out a long sigh: "First the earth shook and the landslide landslided, and then there were demon beasts in the world...... Woe to heaven! Is this 400-year-old man really going to die? ”

Meanwhile. Thousands of miles away in Hanzhong, the eagle's nest in Black Tiger Mountain.

Cheng Yu knelt behind the bookcase. glanced at the mountains of documents in front of him...... These are all important matters that he must approve as soon as possible, and they not only involve major military and political affairs in Hanzhong and Ba County, but also various checks and balances adopted against Liu Yan throughout Yizhou.

"Strategist, there's news from Chang'an!" Outside the door, someone said respectfully.

"Oh? It's not yet in the report! Cheng Yu stopped what he was doing and pinched his forehead a little tiredly.

"Yes!" A young Eagle's Nest subordinate descended into Shi Li and said: "Chang'an Line reports that the plan of the Fourth Route Army to besiege the city has been successful, and General Pu Hu is leading the army back to the Eagle's Nest...... Merely! ”

"But what?" Cheng Yu's half-closed eyes suddenly opened, and a gleam flashed in his eyes: "What happened?" ”

"Yes! Strategist! There was also a hint of panic in the subordinate's words: "Originally, it was planned, but Sun Binshuo and his family of Taihang Mountain sneaked into Chang'an, but the lord ...... He's sneaking into the city, too! ”

"What? Lord, he! Cheng Yu straightened up suddenly, and only smiled bitterly after a while: "Actually, I should have expected it...... The lord sees Miss Qing'er as better than his own sister, how can he be indifferent? ”

He was stunned for a moment before waving his hand and said: "Pass the order, pay close attention to the situation in Chang'an, mobilize all the people to assemble from the periphery and stand by, and be ready to answer the lord at any time...... And send this situation to Bohai to form a joint force with us! ”

"Yes! Strategist! The subordinate perked up when he heard this: "The subordinate will do it himself immediately!" ”

Before he could turn and exit the room, a strong tremor suddenly came from under his feet, and the subordinate almost fell to the ground. The tall book in front of Cheng Yu was also scattered all over the ground with a "bang".

"Not good! It's moving again! The subordinate reacted quickly and rushed up, dragging Cheng Yu and rushing out: "Strategist, we must immediately avoid the open space!" ”

The sound of the horn was loud, and the entire eagle's nest quickly moved into action, and the military teams began to perform their duties without waiting for anyone's orders. Under the guidance of their organization, a large number of people poured out of the city in an orderly manner along the gates that were wide open on three sides. In the satellite docks on both sides of the Eagle's Nest, a large number of emergency supplies began to be sent out in a steady stream...... This kind of fast and efficient emergency means should not exist in this era, however, due to the incomparable sincere unity of tens of thousands of Eagle's Nest soldiers and civilians, due to the words and deeds of the owners of the Eagle's Nest across the times, as well as countless emergency drills formulated and implemented by officials at all levels, all this has become a reality.

"Intensify personnel settlement!"

"Urge all ministries to speed up the progress!"

"Send a search team to find out!"

"Report losses and casualties!"

One after another, the edicts flowed down like water, and the entire Eagle's Nest began to run at high speed like a full-winding machine.

Soon, the commanders who carried out the various tasks began to report back.

"Personnel placement has been completed!"

"The emergency response of all ministries has been implemented!"

"Search teams are all out!"

"There are no losses or casualties!"

Listening to the reports one by one, Cheng Yu was a little stunned and said, "What? Nothing to lose? How is this possible! The last ground movement caused at least a dozen houses to collapse, and several people were killed and injured! The ......"

"Strategist! All indications are that this is not a ground movement! "Finally someone has come to a conclusion.

"So what's going on with Fang Cai's shock?" Cheng Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "Immediately go and find out the cause of the shock!" ”

"Strategist, the team that went deep into the rear of Black Tiger Mountain has sent news!" A Sky-Eye warrior flew in: "They have found the source of the shock!" Here's the news! ”

"Show me!" Cheng Yu took the white silk in the hand of the Tianyan warrior, unfolded it and took a look, and immediately raised a deep "Chuan" word between his eyebrows.

After a while, he said categorically: "Immediately organize a team to enter the mountain!" I'm going to go into the mountains and see for myself! ”

"Yes!"

A few hours later, deep in the Black Tiger Mountain.

When Cheng Yu faced the strange scene of the landslide and the ground cracking in front of him, even with his calm composure, he was moved: "It turned out that the shock was caused by the collapse of the mountain!" ”

The mountain wall, which used to be like a natural barrier, sinks into a deep canyon and winds out. If you are not very familiar with the terrain of this place before, it is difficult to feel the terrifying power of nature that changes the world

"Does this canyon open to the outside world?" Cheng Yu looked at it in his heart: "Our eagle's nest is backed by Black Tiger Mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if this canyon is passed, we need to divide troops to garrison!" ”

"The scout has just found out with the eye of heaven that this canyon should lead directly to the Han River, more than ten miles long!" One of the leaders of the Heavenly Eye immediately replied: "According to the information that has been observed so far, the widest part of this canyon reaches four or five zhang, and the narrowest part can only accommodate a few people in parallel!" ”

Another Celestial Eye leader also added, "Our speed of human detection is slow, and we are still advancing...... The only thing that is certain is that this is an open road! ”

"What? It will lead to Hanshui! Cheng Yu was taken aback, and suddenly, an incomparably happy smile appeared on his lips: "The original place of death is finally alive!" Providence, this is the providence of the earth-shaking landslide! (To be continued......)
