Chapter 18, Preparation
"Why would the monster try his luck in that valley?" Jiang Yiyan tilted her head lightly and asked curiously.
"Because polyphytes are evergreen all year round." Li Tian replied.
"Yes, because it is an evergreen plant all year round, some hungry herbivore monsters can't help but eat it."
"If there are herbivorous monsters in the valley, there will definitely be carnivorous monsters with them, and that valley will become a fierce place, especially in winter." Speaking of this, Zhou Hun's old face wrinkled fiercely, looking particularly dignified.
"Are you sure you're going?"
Hearing this, Li Tian and Jiang Yiyan glanced at each other, and then smiled, "Go, why don't you go." ”
"Old man Zhou, stop inking, tell us that the valley is in a mysterious place." Jiang Yiyan clenched his fists and said eagerly.
"Hey!" Zhou Hun sighed lightly, originally wanted to make the two retreat, who knows, but it aroused the curiosity of the two.
"That's fine." Zhou Hun stood up and walked to the innermost part of the bookshelf on the right, searched up and down carefully, and finally in the most inconspicuous dusty lower corner of the bookshelf, Zhou Hun picked up a tattered animal skin scroll.
Zhou Hun recklessly shook the animal skin roll in his hand, stirring up a large cloud of dust in the air, and the filthy air made him cough twice.
Opening the animal skin roll, Zhou Hun carefully looked at it, and after confirming that there was no problem inside, Zhou Hun handed over the animal skin roll in his hand.
As an elder, he couldn't help but worry in his heart and told again: "In the valley, there are many dangers, just forget it, safety is the most important." ”
"yes, I see." Li Tian would never refuse the advice of an elder, and he was also a powerful senior.
After getting the animal skin scroll, they said goodbye to Zhou Hun, and the two prepared to go to the Heavenly Beast Mountain, the source of the resting grass.
However, the two of them did not quickly leave the tribe from the east gate to the Heavenly Beast Mountain, but walked towards the west gate.
"Xiaotian, aren't we going to Heavenly Beast Mountain, why did we go to the West Gate?"
Li Tiandao: "Go to the Heavenly Beast Mountain to find Xicao, and we are still in an area that we are not familiar with, and the road is far away for nearly a hundred miles, we need to prepare some things and two wildebeests, and try to shorten the time so that the Black Rock Rat King can escape." ”
When he came out of the warehouse again, Li Tian had already looked at the beast skin scroll, and the route on it referred to an unfamiliar area of the Heavenly Beast Mountain, which Li Tian had never been to before, and these alone made Li Tian have to be cautious.
An unfamiliar area of Heavenly Beast Mountain is an absolute death zone for most people, and it is much better for Li Tian and the two to have a map, but they can't be careless.
Around the tribe's west gate is the blacksmith's forging area, where the few few blacksmiths in the tribe are concentrated.
It is also home to the tribal witch doctors.
As the sun approached the center of the sky, noon came, and the tribe gradually became lively, although it was necessary to prepare things, but the things to prepare were not complicated.
The two of them were determined to rush back tomorrow afternoon, so Li Tian prepared a large skin bag for holding water, which could hold more than five liters of water and enough dry food for the two of them to eat for two days, and went to the witch doctor to prepare some antidote and Jinchuang medicine to treat external injuries.
The other two also went back to the Dao Academy and left a letter telling Shen Fei and Jiang Hong that they were going to Heavenly Beast Mountain, and tonight's action was postponed until tomorrow afternoon.
Borrowing the wildebeest of the tribal hunting team, the two of them rode on their horses and quickly rushed towards the Heavenly Beast Mountain.
Although the wildebeest is an unpopular monster, it has a gentle temperament, and its foot strength is far superior to that of some beasts, and the endurance of the monsters in the early stage is even more amazing, and it is the favorite of the warriors in the tribe.
Although Li Tian learned to ride a wildebeest early, riding a distance of more than a hundred miles also made Li Tian physically and mentally exhausted, and even Jiang Yiyan, who was usually energetic, couldn't help but have a tired look on his face, which was still a few breaks halfway.
By the time Li Tian arrived, it was already almost dark, and the dark Heavenly Beast Mountain was even more dangerous, so the two planned to go into the mountain tomorrow morning to find the valley marked on the map.
In the evening, the two hastily ate dry food and found a safe place to rest, but for safety reasons, the two decided to take turns keeping vigil.
The sun rises punctually in the morning, dispelling the fog and some of the chill of the late autumn morning.
Li Tian checked the items on his body again, and while entering the Heavenly Beast Mountain with Jiang Yiyan, entering the Heavenly Beast Mountain, Li Tian did not impatiently follow the map to find the location of the valley, but carefully observed the surroundings.
Even Jiang Yiyan, who is usually a little rough-fed, became cautious at this time.
Because the jungle that covers the sky is the best place to hunt and the best place to be hunted.
After the two of them carefully observed that there was no danger around, they relaxed a little, Jiang Yiyan took out the map of the animal skin scroll, and carefully compared it with the surrounding environment, Zhou Hun's map is marked as summer, and now it is autumn, and the gap between the two is still very large, plus this has passed for an unknown number of years, and it is a bit difficult to identify.
"Xiaotian, we should go that way." Looking at the map in his hand and the scene in front of him, Jiang Yiyan's beautiful eyes showed a faint color.
Li Tian took the animal skin roll and compared it carefully, and said, "Go west." ”
"Hey~, how do you know." Jiang Yiyan said in surprise.
"Grandpa Zhou, the tree marked on the map is Chimu, we should follow the place west of Chimu."
"But there's no Akagi here."
"This map was made by Grandpa Zhou when he was young, and after the changes of time, there is a big difference between it and the present, and that red wood has disappeared for some reason."
"And how do you know to go west?"
"As it grows, it secretes a substance that dyes the land around it red." As he spoke, Li Tian took a few steps forward and squatted on the ground, brushing aside the leaves, revealing the red dirt on the ground.
"Alright, let's move west." Li Tian got up and walked towards the jungle to the west.
In late autumn, some of the leaves of some trees in the Heavenly Beast Mountain are scattered and depressed, and some trees are still green and evergreen, full of vitality and tranquility.
It is now the end of autumn and winter is coming, and the Heavenly Beast Mountain is by no means as quiet as it seems on the surface, and the danger is a portrayal of this time.
"Bang", the dead branch was trampled and made a sound.
Li Tian's eyes changed from calm to sharp, and he pulled out the iron sword at his waist with one hand and placed it across his chest, and pulled Jiang Yiyan behind him with the other hand.
