Chapter 6 No Return to the Forest
Because of Xia Ziheng's troubles, the next day the town turned from overcrowded to depressed, and people from all walks of life packed up their packages and brought dry food to the forest of no return, and the food in the town was emptied for a while.
Everyone hurried into the forest for fear that someone else would get ahead of them, and some even left quietly last night.
Yun Mo and his entourage rode a horse and finally left the town, looking at the town that seemed to have suffered a catastrophe after the war, Li Chu couldn't help but sigh, these martial arts people were too terrifying.
Chu Jue followed behind Yun Mo and his party on horseback with a few entourage, as if he was going to rely on them. Yun Mo didn't care, as long as he didn't come to annoy him.
Chu Jue naturally didn't dare to bother him, so he bothered Xia Ziheng.
"Eh, Brother Ziheng. What's the matter with that little guy? "The little guy naturally refers to Li Chu.
Although Xia Ziheng didn't want to see Chu Jue, the demon, the two senior brothers ignored him, and it was good for someone to talk, but this demon had a little friendship with the senior brother, so his attitude towards him at this time was quite friendly.
"That's my little senior brother Chu Li, don't provoke him, be careful that senior brother makes you look good."
"Hahaha, little brother? I said you're too spineless, call a little guy a senior brother. Chu Jue leaned forward and leaned back with a smile, "I haven't heard that he has a little junior brother before, he has recently received a new one?" β
Xia Ziheng didn't want to pay attention to him, and stayed away from Chu Jue with a stinky face.
"Tell me what's going on." Chu Jue continued to lean over with a hippie smile.
ββ¦β¦β
Xia Ziheng slapped Chu Jue's hand away and continued to stay away from him.
β¦β¦
The Returnless Forest is not far from the town, and Yun Mo has arrived in an hour after walking, uh, the others have arrived in less than half an hour.
As soon as I arrived at the edge of the forest, I felt the danger and depression, and the inside of the forest was vaguely unclear, and it was estimated that it was covered with haze and the like. Seeing messy footprints along the way, people from all walks of life probably rushed in.
Li Chu was puzzled, it seemed that everyone else had been in for a long time, but Yun Mo didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, so he wasn't afraid that the treasure would be found by others?
"Senior brother, aren't we going in?" Do you want to wait for the rabbits and wait for them to come out and then rob them? Li Chu thought embarrassedly.
"Don't worry, let's rest first."
Rest, rest a fart. Chu Jue couldn't help but burst into foul language, didn't he rest much along the way? Is this the attitude you should have when hunting for treasures, you are clearly the rhythm of touring the mountains and rivers.
Of course, Chu Jue didn't dare to say this in front of Yun Mo, not to mention that following Yun Mo would have a lively look, which was much more interesting than treasure hunting.
The name of the Returnless Forest is taken from the meaning of going to the Returnless Forest, and legend has it that few people come out alive after entering the Returnless Forest. However, this is just a legend, and many people regard the Forest of No Return as a place of training. In fact, most of the people who died inside were single or small groups who went in, and they didn't have much ability.
Although the Forest of No Return is not as dangerous as the legend, there is no return, but there are indeed many poisonous beasts, and if you are unlucky, you may really be buried in it.
After resting for a while, eating and drinking, Yun Mo led the team into the forest.
Li Chu counted, there were only sixteen people, Chu Jue only brought four followers, and he brought eight guards on his side, compared to the vast various sects, the number of people is pitiful, but it is unknown how many people there are in the shadows.
The forest was full of poisonous haze, and before entering, Xia Ziheng distributed antidote to his own people, of course, he would not kindly share it with Chu Jue.
"Xia Ziheng, with the friendship between the two of us, do you want to see death and not save it?" Chu Jue was dissatisfied, and the medicines Xia Ziheng took out were naturally good medicines.
"If you want it, you can exchange it for silver, and the friendship price is five hundred taels and one piece." Xia Ziheng played with the medicine bottle.
"It's all a family, and it hurts to talk about money." Chu Jue came up and the two brothers put their hands on Xia Ziheng's shoulders.
Who's in the family with you, stinky and shameless. Xia Ziheng shook him off and strode forward, "Let's go." β
"Don't! If you have something to say, it's good to say. Chu Jue hurriedly followed, "Can't I give it yet?" As he spoke, he took out a stack of thick silver tickets and stuffed them to Xia Ziheng, and snatched the medicine bottle by the way.
Li Chu watched with interest at the two of them bickering, and because of this, Yun Mo let Chu Jue follow. "Senior brother is very familiar with Chu Jue?" Looking at Chu Jue's words and deeds, he seems to be very familiar with his senior brother, although the senior brother doesn't pay much attention to him, but he doesn't avoid him in many things, because he trusts him.
"Not familiar. Ali didn't have to deal with him. β
"Okay, Yun Mo, I think we were all through the same hardships back then, born and died together, but you actually told me that you were not familiar with me? You cross the river and tear down the bridge, turn your face and don't recognize people! Chu Jue heard it at the tip of his ear.
Looking at Chu Jue's appearance as if she had been abandoned, Li Chu laughed out loud. Seeing that Li Chu smiled, Yun Mo didn't care about Chu Jue, and hugged Li Chu to distance himself from Chu Jue.
There were a lot of poisons along the way, but I didn't see anyone else, and it is estimated that they have all gone deep into the center of the forest, but the location of the treasure is not so easy to find, and if you are not careful in the forest, you will get lost.
At this time, all the people and horses who have gone deep into the hinterland of the forest have lost their way, it is useless to have a treasure map in hand, they don't know where they are, they can't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, and the route marked on the map has no meaning, so it can only rely on luck.
Almost every team has folded several people, and the Wuhui Forest can become one of the most dangerous places on the continent, naturally it should not be underestimated, such as the three major sects, these profound sects, and the drug support of the Danyang Sect, the damage is naturally the smallest.
The three major sects each organized their teams to move forward, and the strength of the three factions was equal, so naturally they would not be headed by the others, in short, they would just rely on their own abilities.
The teams circled around the center, occasionally encountering beast poisons, and naturally had a good fight. Occasionally, they will run into other teams, but they haven't found the treasure yet, so naturally they won't kill each other, and they will be safe for a while.
Just when the teams were still going around in circles, fighting wits and courage with the beasts, Yun Mo and his party were gradually approaching the hinterland of the center. At this moment they were confronting two beasts of prey, which had two horns on its head and big eyes like brass bells, and were extremely ugly and fierce, ready to pounce at any moment.
Li Chu said that he didn't know what kind of species it was, so let's call it a two-horned beast.
Xia Ziheng pulled out his sword and was waiting for him, and the fan that Chu Jue had been pretending to shake was also put away, frowning and looking at the two fierce beasts.
On the other hand, Yun Mo didn't seem to be worried at all, holding Li Chu and jumping up to the big tree a few steps away, away from the battle circle. Seeing this, Xia Ziheng and Chu Jue snorted together, although the two of us can deal with it, but you are too unrighteous, I am working hard, can your conscience be passable.
Since Yun Mo is not worried, Li Chu is also relieved, anyway, there is a tall man on top of the sky when the sky falls, and he is still young, huh.
Yun Mo sat lazily against the trunk of the tree, holding Li Chu in his arms, holding pastries in his hands and feeding them to Li Chu's mouth from time to time, Li Chu couldn't help but think, this is the so-called cake-eating masses.
The two of them were at ease in the tree, but the fight was already under the tree. Although Chu Jue's martial arts are not as good as Yun Mo's, he can be regarded as a rare opponent in the rivers and lakes, and he frowned before just thinking about whether he would stain his clothes after a while, and he didn't put the two beasts in his eyes.
The two-horned beast also seemed to know that the persimmon should be pinched softly, and concentrate on attacking Xia Ziheng, who was slightly weaker in combat effectiveness, Chu Jue was happy and relaxed, and smiled at the unlucky Xia Ziheng, "Brother Ziheng, it seems that they like you more." β
Damn it! Under the siege of the two fierce beasts one after the other, Xia Ziheng was in a hurry for a while, "Chu Demon, don't hurry up and come over to help!" β
This distraction, the beast behind attacked instantly, Xia Ziheng didn't have time to react, and the secret was bad! The next moment, I didn't feel any pain. Fortunately, Chu Jue came in time and pulled himself to the side to resolve the crisis. Xia Ziheng breathed a sigh of relief, although he couldn't get used to this demon, he was still reliable at the critical moment.
The two were still wrestling with the beast, and suddenly with a "whoosh", a branch shot into the eye of a two-horned beast, and immediately spurted out a stream of blood, "It's too slow." Yun Mo said lightly.
A few drops of blood splashed on Chu Jue's face, "Ahhhhhhh My face! Chu Jue shouted, and with a wave of the fan, the two-horned beast in front of him was killed instantly. Chu Jue's light skills were exerted to the extreme, and after a few ups and downs, he could no longer see a human figure.
Li Chu looked at the direction where Chu Jue disappeared dumbfounded, what was wrong with him?
The remaining two-horned beast was already injured, and it was much easier to solve, so Xia Ziheng hurriedly solved it in three or two clicks.
"Senior brother, why don't we roast it and eat it." Xia Ziheng pointed to the two-horned beast that fell to the ground with great interest. After this fight, Xia Ziheng's clothes were torn in a few places, which was quite embarrassing, but fortunately he only suffered a few abrasions.
Li Chu pursed his lips in disgust, his appearance was too bad to eat, "You can eat it yourself." "I don't know if it's poisonous, so I dare to eat it.
Seeing that the two senior brothers were not interested, Xia Ziheng was also not interested, "By the way, what about the Chu demon?" I didn't pay attention just now, I only heard him shouting, where are you going?
"Wash your face." Yun Mo was quite disgusted.
Although Yun Mo said that he was not familiar with Chu Demon, well, he still knew him very well.
Li Chu gloated, daring to love Chu Jue for having a habit of cleanliness, so he rushed to wash his face in such a hurry.
"Let's go." Yun Mo jumped off the tree with Li Chu in his arms, raised his legs and left.
"Huh? Don't wait for the Chu demon? After Xia Ziheng finished speaking, he reacted, what was the demon doing, he just took the opportunity to dump him, and immediately followed in a hurry.
β¦β¦
The closer you get to the hinterland of the center of the forest, the heavier the poisonous haze, and of course, the more heavenly spirits and earth treasures and rare beasts.
Li Chu was more interested in precious herbs than treasures, and at this time she was seriously collecting all kinds of rare medicinal materials, and during this time, Li Chu also studied various medical classics and had a further understanding of ancient medicine.
Yun Mo knew that Li Chu liked to study medicines, so he was interested in helping Li Chu find herbs, while Xia Ziheng took his men to scout nearby and find something to eat by the way.
"It's getting dark, and there's a little cabin not far in front of us, where we'll rest for the night." Seeing that the sky was dark, Yun Mo interrupted Li Chu's hard work, Yun Mo was reluctant to let Li Chu be too tired, and saw that Li Chu was happy, so he accompanied her for a while. However, since Ali likes it, he can go back and have people pick all these herbs.
"Uh, okay." Li Chu looked at the herbs all over the ground with regret.
"I'll send someone to pick it up when I get back." Yun Mo only spoke a little more to Li Chu.
Li Chu looked up at him and said in surprise, "Really? Senior brother is the best! β
"Hmm." The corners of Yun Mo's mouth raised, looking like he was in a good mood.
Li Chu was stunned, "Senior brother looks so good when he laughs." β
Yun Mo picked up Li Chu and was in a better mood.
At this time, Xia Ziheng also came back, and the three of them walked towards the cabin that Yun Mo said.
"Senior brother has been here?" Li Chu was puzzled, Yun Mo seemed to be familiar with this place.
"Well, a few times." Even after living here for a short time, he also met the Chu demon here.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, he arrived at the small wooden house, the dilapidated house looked like it had been many years, and when he went in, he found that although the house was dilapidated, it was still clean, Li Chu looked at Yun Mo suspiciously.
Yun Mo explained, "I used to stay here for a few days. β
Xia Ziheng brought back a fat rabbit for dinner, and when the three of them gathered around the fire to roast rabbit meat, Chu Jue appeared.
In fact, Chu Jue not only washed his face, but went to take a bath, in order to take a bath, he went around almost half of the forest, it was really not easy.
"You have no conscience, and you won't wait for me." Chu Jue complained, and glanced at Yun Mo with resentment, "There are so many jackals, tigers and leopards in the forest, how can you bear to let me walk alone as a peerless beauty." β
"Of course bear with me, it's better not to come back." Xia Ziheng rolled his eyes, you pretend, continue to pretend.
"You...... Hum! I saved your life today. Chu Jue was angry, "Xiao Lili, you can't bear it, right?" Chu Jue smiled at Li Chu.
It's a pity that Li Chu didn't eat this set, didn't speak, and stuffed the roasted rabbit meat in his hand into Chu Jue's mouth. Chu Jue was burned, and quickly took it and moved away, not careless, but very happy, this was roasted by Xiao Li Li himself, and he glanced at Yun Mo like a show off at the moment.
Yun Mo sneered, naΓ―ve, and didn't care about him, and fed the fragrant meat roasted in his hand to Li Chu. Li Chu squinted and enjoyed the intimate service of his senior brother, took a bite and chewed carefully, the roast was too delicious.
Chu Jue took a bite of the rabbit meat, only to find that it was roasted, and looked at Li Chu resentfully, and sure enough, Yun Mo's side was not a good person, so he had to pick up a skewer and bake it himself.
"Hehe, Xiao Lili, look, my surname is Chu, and you are also surnamed Chu, this is fate. Maybe we're still relatives. Chu Jue chatted with Li Chu while flipping through the barbecue, "You see, Xiao Lili is a little similar to me." "Could it be that Xiao Lili is the child of which of his brothers or uncles is outcast?
Xia Ziheng sneered, "Where is it like, Xiao Li'er won't look like you." β
"You don't like my looks?" Chu Jue was instantly anxious, it was okay to insult him, but he must not insult his appearance.
"So what?" Xia Ziheng is not afraid of him.
Li Chu looked at the two childishly noisy big men speechlessly, and silently took the remaining skewers of meat and roasted them.
However, Chu Jue is really right about one thing, if they have seen Chu Jue's appearance when he was a child, they will find that Li Chu is indeed one or two points similar to him.
There was only one bed in the hut, and Xia Ziheng and Chu Jue, who didn't eat enough because they only cared about quarrelling, were naturally kicked out.
"Eh, you said Yun Mo wouldn't have any quirks, right?" Chu Jue's brothers came to Xia Ziheng's side well, and they had forgotten that the two had just finished arguing, "Tsk, it's still a male baby, it's so small, he can do it." "I didn't expect Yun Mo to be so heavy-tasted.
"What nonsense? They're not that kind of relationship. Xia Ziheng patted away the hand on his shoulder, no, but the senior brother has always disliked being close to people, but he eats and sleeps with the little brother, is it possible that he really likes the little brother? Xia Ziheng trembled and hurriedly drove this terrible thought out of his mind.
"Alas, I didn't expect him to even look down on a beautiful woman like me, and he actually fell in love with a little baby, and he had no vision." Chu Jue touched his face narcissistically.
"Xiao Chuli is much better than you." Xia Ziheng sneered, this demon is shameless, how can he be worthy of his senior brother, ahh
"Don't talk about this, I met the old man of the Nine Extremes Sword when I was looking for you just now, why don't we go play with them?" Chu Jue mysteriously had a bad idea.
"Okay." Xia Ziheng couldn't get used to the sanctimonious appearance of the old man Jiang, so he readily agreed.
At this time, the team of the Nine Extremes Sword Sect, who was sitting around for dinner, didn't know that they were going to be unlucky.
β¦β¦
"Senior brother, what treasure is in that treasure?" Li Chu was very curious, almost the entire Jianghu was involved, it must be a great treasure.
"In addition to the gold and silver treasures, martial arts cheats, and strange weapons collected by the treasure collector throughout his life, there are also Ziyun Beads that sealed his life's skills, but there are only a few people who know that Purple Cloud Beads are here." I'm afraid those old men are here for Ziyunzhu on this trip.
"Purple Cloud Bead? Isn't it amazing? β
"It's just a small bead that can store and absorb power, and legend has it that the purple cloud bead disappeared hundreds of years ago."
"How did Senior Brother know?" Li Chu was entangled, Yun Mo seemed to know everything, as if he had seen a treasure with his own eyes.
"Well, I've been there."
"What? You've been in a treasure trove! The corners of Li Chu's eyes twitched, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed, "You won't have already taken the treasure." β
"Hmm. Took some. "In fact, everything that can be taken has been taken, leaving only a little bit, after all, we have to raise a large group of people from Moshan Villa.
Li Chu was shocked, the senior brother was too terrible, he dared to play the whole rivers and lakes. No wonder Senior Brother is not in a hurry at all, he has already started first, "What about Ziyunzhu?" β
"There are no purple cloud beads in the treasure." Yun Mo touched Li Chu's head, "Okay, let's sleep first, don't think about any treasures, go back to the villa and pick what Ali likes." After speaking, he hugged Li Chu and lay down to sleep.
"......" Li Chu mourned in his heart for the people of all factions.
