Chapter 18: At the foot of Chiyan Mountain

On this day, Zhan Wuxian and Mo Wuya walked to the vicinity of Chiyan Mountain, only to see the smoke rising, surrounded by mist, all the trees in the surrounding radius for several miles were all broken, the branches and wild grass that fell on the ground had been burned to the ground, and there were still residual fires in a few places, and a smell of scorched earth permeated the surroundings. Zhan Wuxian looked at the miserable situation in front of him, and said in his heart: Where did the mountain fire come from and burned so badly, even the towering trees were burned off. Walking in and looking closely, I found that many giant trees with a thickness of several feet were cut off by the waist, and the broken parts were jagged, as if they were broken by some giant collision. Zhan Wuxian had an ominous premonition, there must have been a fierce battle here, the two sides of the fight were by no means ordinary characters, they must be masters of martial arts, and the battle was not over, and danger would suddenly appear at any time. Now that Li'er is injured and has difficulty moving, it is better to leave this place as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Zhan Wuxian launched the Wood Machine Beast, picked up Mo Wuya, jumped on the back of the Wood Machine Beast and ran south. didn't fly out of Erli, Zhan Wuxian felt that another heat wave was gradually coming, and when he looked back, a red light flashed, dazzling very brightly. Zhan Wuxian immediately hugged Mo Wuya and quickly leaned over and flashed, for fear that she would be injured by the red light.

Zhan Wuxian said: "Ya'er, are you okay?" ”

Mo Wuya said: "I'm fine, it's just a little hot." What was that red light just now? ”

"I see that there is some evil spirit here, I don't know what kind of monster that red light just now, let's get out of here as soon as possible." After Zhan Wuxian finished speaking, he ran forward. They hadn't gone far, but just a few feet in front of them, the red light flashed again, and a towering tree that swept past the red light was already on fire. Zhan Wuxin said: The mountains and forests here are scorched, it turned out to be the red light, I don't know what it is. Zhan Wuxian hugged Mo Wuya with his left hand, and his right hand had already grasped the hilt of the Longyuan Sword.

When the red light reappeared, Zhan Wuxian faintly saw a black shadow behind the red light, chasing the red light. Suddenly, the black shadow shook, and the red light took a sharp turn towards itself, accompanied by a piercing sound. Zhan Wuxian was afraid that this red light would hurt Mo Wuya, and it was inconvenient to face it head-on, and Zhan Wuxian was not very proficient in controlling the wooden machine flying beast, so he couldn't do what he wanted. So Zhan Wuxian hugged Mo Wuya and jumped high, and at the same time, Long Yuan's sword was unsheathed, and he saw a blue light slashing towards the red light. I heard a scream, and the red light turned around again and flew towards the top of the mountain.

The black shadow behind the red light, seeing the blue light splitting, stopped suddenly, and a pair of deep footprints appeared on the ground, and the black shadow flickered, leaving a humanoid silhouette, and at the same time holding a long sword in his hand. The silhouette of the figure was fleeting, and as soon as it flashed, it disappeared again. Zhan Wuxian felt that the figure was chasing the red light again, and he said unconsciously: "Chengying Sword? He hugged Mo Wuya and landed gently.

Mo Wuya said: "What Chengying Sword?" ”

"Nothing? I felt that there seemed to be the sword aura of the Shadow Inheritance Sword behind the red light just now. ”

"Is that really the Shadow Sword?"

"I'm not sure either. Leave it alone, it's important for us to hurry. ”

"Hmm!" Mo Wuya agreed: "Shirt, put me down." You're too tired to hold me all the way like this. ”

"It's okay, it's nothing to be tired for you." Zhan Wuxian said: "That red light just now is very mysterious, I think nine times out of ten it is a demon beast." This place is dangerous, and I still hold you the most assured. ”

At this time, Mo Wuya's eyes were already moist, and he said affectionately: "You can't move when you hold me like this, how do you deal with that demon beast coming again?" ”

"Don't worry, Li'er, I'm free to deal with the law of demon beasts." As soon as Zhan Wuxian finished speaking, he heard the roar on the top of the mountain, which was deafening. Looking up, the red light came down from above, and the rocks behind him rolled and blazing with fire, like a dam bursting and flooding down.

Zhan Wuxian immediately rushed towards the oblique time, and at the same time, Long Yuan's sword was unsheathed, and then he slashed several swords in succession, only to see a blue sword light like a fishing net towards the red light cover. When the red light was about to touch the net, it knew that it was not good, and flew upwards violently, although it was extremely fast, but the red light tail was still hit by the sword net. I only heard the scream of the red light, piercing the heart, and gradually revealed its original form, which turned out to be the three-legged black emperor.

Zhan Wuxian's sword net was extremely fierce, and although it did not completely hit the three-legged black emperor, it shattered the mountain rocks behind it, and hit the mountainside again, shooting down a large area of mountain rocks. Seeing this, the Three-legged Black Emperor immediately turned around and swept over the falling rocks, which immediately turned into flint magma and continued to roll down with the mountain. The Three-legged Black Emperor struck the mountain stone with its wings again, shooting at Zhan Wuxian like a meteor.

Zhan Wuxian hugged Mo Wuya and dodged the flying flint, while running forward quickly, he ran dozens of miles away in a blink of an eye, and saw a big stone in front of him, and there was a hole under the big stone, which was just right to hide. Zhan Wuxian hugged Mo Wuya and hid in the cave, and said in his heart: Why did that three-legged black emperor attack me so wildly, is there any hidden secret? He leaned over to peek, and not far away, the looming black shadow dodged the attack of the flint. Zhan Wuxian said: Presumably, he has been fighting with the three-legged black emperor for a long time, and what he is holding in his hand must be the Chengying Sword, and only the Chengying Sword has a stealth function in the world. So is this person Mr. Kong, or has a great relationship with the Kong family, why is he fighting with the Three-legged Black Emperor here? Is he eradicating harm for the people or is he capturing the three-legged black emperor? Whether he is friend or foe, he can only come forward and ask. Zhan Wuxian thought again, Ya'er is injured, I can't leave her for half a moment, it's better to leave here as soon as possible for Li'er's safety, but Chengying Sword has a relationship with the news of Kong's survival, and if I don't go forward to ask, I am unwilling. When Zhan Wuxian was hesitating, Mo Wuya seemed to guess his thoughts, and said: "This is blocked by a big stone, and it is far away from the three-legged black emperor, it can't hurt me." Besides, I still have dragon tendons in my hand, you put me down first, and go over if you want to. Zhan Wuxian glanced at Mo Wuya and said, "It's okay." ”

When Zhan Wuxian put down Mo Wuya, protected Mo Wuya with dragon tendons, and went to find the black shadow again, he saw that the black shadow was still chasing the three-legged black emperor. I saw the three-legged black emperor desperately flew to the top of Chiyan Mountain, the black shadow suddenly shook a few times, and reached the top of the mountain before the three-legged black emperor, and the shadow sword in his hand slashed down towards the three-legged black emperor, a sword light was on the top of the three-legged black emperor's head, and the three-legged black emperor screamed continuously, turned his head and flew down the mountain, and drove the mountain stone to roll down behind him. Zhan Wuxian went up head-on, blocking in front of the Three-legged Black Emperor, and the Long Yuan Sword in his hand flipped continuously, drawing a blue light net, towards the Three-legged Black Emperor. The three-legged black emperor flew down very quickly, and when he saw the blue light net, he couldn't retract and crashed straight into the light net. In a tragic scream, the three-legged black emperor's body lost its balance, rolled and rushed down the hillside, and in the blink of an eye, there was a loud bang, and the three-legged black emperor crashed into a huge mountain rock, was bounced up dozens of zhang high, and fell heavily to the ground, smashing out a deep pit with a radius of dozens of zhang and several zhang deep. Suddenly, layers of scorched dust were stirred up in the pit, and the red light of the flames wrapped around the three-legged black emperor gradually dimmed and slowly extinguished.

Zhan Wuxian looked at the black shadow and said in his heart: Who is this black shadow, and why is the Chengying Sword in his hand? The black shadow looked at the three-legged black emperor and said in his heart: This time you have nowhere to escape. Zhan Wuxian was about to ask who the black shadow was, when he saw the black shadow move slightly, and rushed towards the three-legged black emperor, wanting to grab the three-legged black emperor and leave. Seeing this, Zhan Wuxian also used the Xuangong Escape Technique, and also ran towards the Three-legged Black Emperor, what he wanted was to catch the black shadow first and ask who he was.

The two of them arrived at the three-legged black emperor at the same time, and were about to make a move, when they suddenly heard a loud click, and the huge mountain rock that was hit by the three-legged black emperor broke away from the mountain and rolled down, and it was about to hit the slightly smaller stone where Mo Wuya was hiding. If that boulder hits, even if Mo Wuya slashes his body, he will be smashed into a blur of flesh and blood, and he will die on the spot.

Seeing this, Zhan Wuxian abandoned the black shadow, quickly retreated, and without a trace of hesitation, rushed to Mo Wuya's side in an instant. At this time, there was no time to rescue Mo Wuya, in a hurry, Zhan Wuxian held the boulder with both hands, and felt that there was 10,000 catties of gravity pressing, and suddenly Zhan Wuxian's limbs were bent, and he couldn't support it, he urgently shouted Mo Wuya to leave quickly, and Mo Wuya's body was weak and it was difficult to move. Just then, the shadow arrived, holding the other side of the boulder. The boulder is as big as a hill, at least tens of thousands of catties in weight, no matter how high Ren Zhan's martial arts are, no matter how strong his skills are, even if there is the help of the black shadow man, it is difficult to hold it, I saw that the arms and legs of two people were trembling and trembling, but it was better than one person.

Zhan Wuxian glanced at the black shadow, and suddenly felt good, and cast a grateful gaze. Since this man is invisible in a dark shadow, it must be inconvenient for people to know his true face, and in that case, why should I expose others? Zhan Wuxian thought like this and said to the black shadow: "You and I can't last long like this, why don't we two work together and throw this boulder out of the way?" The shadow nodded.

It's strange to say that Zhan Wuxian's movements are exactly the same as those of the black shadow. The two of them raised their hands up at the same time, and at the same time their waists were pushed back, only to hear them shout at the same time, and saw the boulder fly backwards more than ten zhang away, smashing on the ground and sinking into a depth of several zhang.

Zhan Wuxian flew up and hugged Mo Wuya, and asked with concern, "Ya'er, are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine."

When Zhan Wuxian looked up to look for the black shadow again, he saw that the black shadow had already grabbed the three-legged black emperor and ran towards the top of the mountain.

Zhan Wuxian and Mo Wuya stared at it for a long time. Zhan Wuxian said: "Looking at the figure, I feel that the black image is a person. ”

Mo Wuya said: "I feel it too." ”

At this moment, both of them felt that the black shadow had a great relationship with their husband and wife, and they had already guessed who it was in their hearts, but neither of them wanted to be sure, nor did they want to say it.

After a while, Mo Wuya said again: "Shirt, let's go." ”

"Okay." Zhan Wuxian picked up Mo Wuya and walked south.

On the way, questions kept lingering in Zhan Wuxian's heart. Why is the Shadow Sword in the hands of that black shadow? What happened after the corpse beast pawn attacked the Kong Mansion Manor? How did he get the Shadow Sword? Where are Kong Xuan and Kong Wan'er, are they with that black shadow? Why did that black shadow capture the Three-legged Black Emperor, and what did he use it for?

And Mo Wuya has been silent, and the black shadow helped at a critical moment, which shows that he has not forgotten our friendship.

The two of them walked all the way south along the avenue, walked to the wilderness and no one's place, and released the wooden machine flying beast without a shirt, and the two sat on it and flew away; When he met a place where there were people in villages and towns, Zhan Wuxian took the wooden machine flying beast, and hugged Mo Wuya again and walked slowly. When you are hungry, you buy some things to eat and drink in the villages and towns, and when you are tired, you find an inn or other people's hotel to stay.

The further southbound the road becomes, the more sparsely populated it becomes. Sometimes there are no roads, but there are mountains and mountains, thorns and wilderness, as far as the eye can see. No matter how difficult the road is, Zhan Wuxian still holds Mo Wuya to climb the mountain and cross the mountains as usual, overcoming thorns and thorns, without regrets. When it rains, they find a cave to shelter from the rain and eat the wild fruits they picked on the road. When the scorching sun is in the sky, Zhan Wuxian puts the wooden machine flying beast above his head and flies slowly to shield them from the scorching sun, which is also comfortable and interesting.
