Chapter Twenty-Four: First Encounter with Yuren

After this battle, both of them were injured, and eating ice snake eggs could restore their strength as soon as possible and the wounds would recover. When they arrived at the previous snake cave, they found that it had collapsed, and none of the snake eggs in the cave had survived. Zhan Wuxian touched his pocket, and in the fight, the snake eggs inside were also broken. Such a precious snake egg, not a single one survived, Zhan Wuxian and Mo Wuya only sighed.

On the top of the snow-capped mountain, the mountain wind was cold, Mo Wuya couldn't stay for a long time, so the male white ape took them to the cave on the mountainside, which is the usual habitat of the white ape. The cave is surrounded by grass and green moss, and streams flow down from the top of the mountain, and the sound of the water is very good. The cave is very clean, and there is a straw mat woven with licorice. The male white ape placed the female white ape on the straw mat and turned around and went out. After a short time, the male white ape came back with a lot of wild fruits and some palm-sized eggs, and it turned out that he was looking for food.

The male white ape picked up an egg, turned his fingertips around the eggshell, and then pried it, and a mouth the size of a fingernail was opened on the eggshell, and then handed it to the female white ape. Mo Wuya saw it, hurriedly stopped it, and said: "Ape Sao is pregnant with a baby, it is not good to eat raw things, you have to eat cooked food." The male and female white apes looked at each other, and the male white ape held the egg, not knowing whether it was better to take it back or hand it over.

Mo Wuya glanced at Zhan Wuxian, Zhan Wuxian immediately understood, went to the cave to find some dry firewood and hay, and then drew his sword and slashed on the stone wall, the hay immediately ignited, lit the dry firewood, put an egg on the fire, rolled back and forth, and it was cooked in a while. Zhan Wuxian peeled off the egg skin and handed it to the male white ape, and a burst of egg fragrance came to his nose, which was very delicious. The male white ape hurriedly handed it to the female white ape, and then looked at his wife from the sidelines. The female white ape looked at everyone, took a bite, and suddenly felt that she had eaten such a delicious thing for the first time in her life, nodded to everyone frequently, and smiled. Seeing this, the male white ape jumped up excitedly and hit the top of the cave headlong. Then the male white ape also learned to bake one in the appearance of Zhan Wuxian, and handed it directly to Mo Wuya, and everyone laughed.

Mo Wuya asked, "Where did this egg come from?" ”

The male white ape learned the appearance of the Roc spreading its wings, which turned out to be the eggs of the Peng.

Zhan Wuxian said: "The ice snake has fallen into the abyss just now, is there still an ice snake on this snowy mountain?" Zhan Wuxian asked this because he wanted to find the Ice Snake Egg again and return to Wanjian Peak to give it to Master in the future.

The male white ape shook his head, there was only one ice snake on this snowy mountain.

After a few days in this way, Zhan Wuxian and the male white ape exchanged martial arts from time to time and asked each other for advice. Although the male white ape has not learned kung fu, but the strength is incomparable, the spirituality is very good, it can learn the moves made by Zhan Wuxian at a glance, and it can also learn without a teacher, and it can be changed with Zhan Wuxian in a few days.

On this day, Zhan Wuxian saw that Mo Wuya's complexion was getting better, and it was time to say goodbye. Zhan Wuxian said: "Brother Ape, I had to leave because I had something important. You and I have been together for a few days, and I am very happy, and I thank Brother Ape for his hospitality these days. Although you and I are human and ape, but we hit it off at first sight, and I have called you Brother Ape for a few days, why don't we bow down? ”

The male white ape seemed to understand, and nodded frequently. Then the male white ape took two logs and lit them as agarwood for worship. One person and one ape, worshipping on this snowy mountain, it is estimated that this is the first time in the rivers and lakes. Before leaving, the two apes looked at Zhan Wuxian and Mo Wuya in the distance, and they didn't return for a long time, and the male white ape faintly shed tears.

Zhan Wuxian and his wife said goodbye to the two apes and continued to the southwest. For more than a month, the two climbed over a snow-capped mountain, only to see that the snow line was gradually disappearing, and a mountain forest appeared in front of them, lush and green, and they couldn't see the edge. At the foot of the mountain, the green grass is verdant, the mountain flowers are dotted, there are dozens of big nan trees that are sparsely scattered, the ancient pole is towering to the sky, the thick shade turns the ground, the morning sun shines on the fog, the light and shadow float, sometimes there are three or four birds go out to feed, there are a few horses trotting lightly on the grass from time to time, or white or black, in pairs, the more the scenery is quiet.

As they walked through the woods, they heard the chirping of birds and the murmuring of water. In front of you, you can see an endless grassland, a large river that meanders through the grassland, and the river is wide and miles wide. The water is gentle and crystal clear, like a long white silk stretched on an endless blanket of green grass. At the end of the grassland, towering mountains rise, like a pair of arms, surrounding this quiet and peaceful grassland.

Due to the continuous days of Zhan Wuxian and Mo Wuya's climbing and jumping mountains, most of the places they passed were wild mountains and evil valleys, and they had never seen such an elegant place. Mo Wuya was suddenly in a relaxed mood, and said happily: "Shirt, look! Let's cross the river. After saying that, he left Zhan Wuxian and ran to the river alone, jumped up, his feet fell lightly on the surface of the river, and his toes touched the water, like a fairy, and slid towards the opposite bank. Zhan Wuxian shouted behind him: "Ya'er, slow down! Your injuries are not healed yet, so you can't do it indiscriminately. He shouted as he chased after him.

Mo Wuya was happy, so she didn't care about anything else, no matter how Zhan Wuxian shouted, she slid straight to the other side. The grass on the shore is like a blanket, soft as cotton, Mo Wuya can't help but lie on the grass, roll a few times, look up at the blue sky and white clouds, and breathe a long sigh of relief. Zhan Wuxian also came over, lying beside Mo Wuya, and said angrily: "Why are you disobedient." After speaking, he held Mo Wuya's hand tightly, for fear that she would fly away.

"It's beautiful! It's been a long time since I've been so happy. I don't want to go. Mo Wuya said.

"I'm talking stupid things again. When you're healed, I'll stay here for as long as you want. Zhan Wuxian said.

Mo Wuya glanced at him and didn't speak again, but a happy smile appeared on his face. Both of them closed their eyes at the same time to take in the beautiful scenery.

I don't know how long it took, and suddenly there was a birdsong. Zhan Wuxian opened his eyes and saw a big white bird flying past the clouds and flying away in a southwestern direction. Zhan Wuxian's eyesight has improved even more than before since eating the ice snake eggs, and he fixed his eyes to see that this big bird was born in human form, with hands and feet, and the bird's head is like a human face. The whole body is covered with white feathers, and a pair of white wings more than two feet long grow on the back.

"Feathered people!" Zhan Wuxian exclaimed. At the same time, the wooden machine flying beast launched, picked up Mo Wuya and jumped on his back, turned off the engine, and chased after the feathered man.

After a short time, the two chased to the top of the mountain, and as far as the eye could see, the dense forests under the mountain were boundless, each of which was a towering tree, and the canopy was connected, and the trunk was completely invisible from above. A gust of wind blew, and the trees were surging like the waves of the sea, tumbling and rushing. In the middle of the dense forest and the sea of trees, a towering mountain peak is erected straight and straight, and a waterfall rushes down from the top of the mountain, passing through the clouds, hitting the boulders on the peak, stirring up layers of mist. On such a high peak, not a single grass or tree grows, and the whole mountain is bare boulders. Hundreds of white-feathered people flew from all sides of the woods into the caves of the peaks, and flew out again.

Zhan Wuxian stared at it for a long time, and said to Mo Wuya: "This is undoubtedly the Feather Country. It's just that in this large forest sea, there are countless trees, and each tree grows of average size, which one is the building tree? ”

Mo Wuya said: "Since we have arrived in the country of Yuren, we are not far from Jianmu. You see that mountain peak towering into the sky, maybe Jianmu is on that peak, we will find out if we go and look for it. ”

Zhan Wuxin said: Looking at the bare mountain from a distance, there is not a single tree growing, what is Jianmu? The closer you get to the goal, the more hesitant you become. Despite thinking so, Zhan Wuxian still agreed, urging the wooden machine flying beast, clinging to the canopy of the forest sea, and flying forward smoothly. After traveling for dozens of miles, dozens of feathered people suddenly burst out of the canopy, rushing into the sky and rushing down from the sky. Zhan Wuxian hurriedly said: "Zhan Wuxian in Wanjian Peak in Xiajian Lake Pond, I have come here to ask for something, who can I ask to come and answer?" ”

As if they hadn't heard, those feather people roared towards Zhan Wuxian and Mo Wuya. Seeing this, Zhan Wuxian hugged Mo Wuya tightly, and dodged a feather man, only to see that the feathered man's hands and feet looked the same, all like bird claws, extremely black, like a steel blade. Just dodged one, the other one arrived, Zhan Wuxian raised his foot and kicked the flying one, another one attacked behind him, Zhan Wuxian slapped his backhand again, and flew the other one, and two more flew above his head, Zhan Wuxian hugged Mo Wuya and flashed obliquely, urging the wooden machine flying beast to run quickly.

At this time, Mo Wuya had traveled a long distance, and his injuries became more and more serious, and he could not use his skills to defend. Although Zhan Wuxian's martial arts techniques are profound, just because he wants to protect Mo Wuya, his martial arts can't all be unleashed, if Zhan Wuxian uses the Seven-Star Dragon Yuan Sword, he can cut down these dozens of feathered people in a moment. Also because Zhan Wuxian is new to the country of the Feather People, the enemy and I are unknown, these Feather People may have a misunderstanding in attacking him, and Zhan Wuxian came here to build a wood, and he asked for the Yu people, so he couldn't kill on a large scale, and it was exactly like this, Zhan Wuxian was just defending and not attacking.

Seeing that there were more and more Yu people, Zhan said without compassion: If it goes on like this, the situation is very unfavorable to me, if I came here to save people, don't throw my life here. Looking down, I saw that the forest was dense, and the trunks of the trees stood upright below, their spacing was less than two feet, and the space was narrow, which was extremely unsuitable for flying and fighting. Thinking of this, Zhan Wuxian hugged Mo Wuya tightly, gave up the wooden machine flying beast, and went down to the depths of the dense forest.

As soon as Zhan Wuxian's feet touched the ground, he felt that his feet were soft and empty, and his feet slowly sank. It turns out that the dead leaves that have accumulated under the trees for hundreds of years and soaked in rainwater form a natural swamp quagmire. Zhan Wuxin said: Not good. In a hurry, he grabbed a tree pole with one hand, pulled out the swamp with both feet, stepped on the tree pole, and made a few vertical leaps and gently landed on a horizontal branch.

The white-feathered people who jumped down behind him, the first few were all trapped in the mire, and the few white-feathered people who jumped down after saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly flew away, hitting the other feathered people who were still falling. At this time, Zhan Wuxian hid behind him, and finally saw these feather people clearly. I saw that their whole bodies were covered with feathers, their hands and feet were like birds' claws, and there was a thin piece of flesh between their arms and their ribs, and they were also covered with feathers, and their arms stretched out a few feet long. When the feather man flies, his arms are spread out, and the wings of a bird are the same, but the face of the feather man is exactly the same as the human face, and the facial features are joyful, angry, sad, and vivid.

The feather man who was trapped in the mire, flapped his wings, and wanted to escape from the mire, but the stuffing was too deep, and the feather man who smashed down blocked it, and there were vines in the mire entangled below, and he couldn't escape, even if there were a few white feather people who were reluctant to let their companions fall into prison, flying down and dragging, they couldn't do anything, and they could only watch their companions fall deeper and deeper in the mire. A few other white-feathered people, waving their wings, flew through the trees, looking for Zhan Wuxian. Because the branches between the trees were too dense and the wings of the feathered people were too long, somehow, they were so frightened that from time to time their wings collided with the tree poles, blocking the leaping speed of the feathered people. There are white-feathered people whose wings have been cut by the branches, and the blood is flowing, and the red and white feathers are constantly falling in the black dense forest, like red and white snowflakes.

The white-feathered people have always looked frightened, and they want to go crazy to find Zhan Wuxian. Some of the feathered people's white feathers were all stained red with blood, and they still kept looking. Zhan Wuxin said: Could it be that I have violated some taboo in the country of feathers, why are these feather people so crazy. Zhan Wuxian looked around and saw a tree hole not far from him, just enough to accommodate a person. Zhan Wuxian flew over, put Mo Wuya in the cave, and said, "Li'er, you hide here for a while, and I'll come when I go." After saying that, he covered the hole with a branch.
