The next day, no more rain was falling, but the sky was still gray and there was no sunlight to see.

In the afternoon, Duan Chen stood on a steep stone wall, looking into the distance, in front of him, the towering mountains one after another, stretching endlessly, until extending into the white mist, from yesterday noon, to now, Duan Chen identified a direction, in addition to the necessary rest and eating time, he rushed all the way, to now, the road he walked, at least hundreds of miles, I only felt that the more I went forward, the deeper the forest and the denser the grass, the more steep the mountain became, and in some places there was a miasma like white mist! Like smoke, it shrouded the mountains and forests.

It's not just the miasma, along the way, there are fewer and fewer fierce beasts he has encountered, as for the wild beasts and demon beasts, there are more and more, especially the demon beasts, each demon beast has its unique demon ability, and the strength is generally strong, even the current Duan Chen, if it is not necessary, he is not willing to provoke them easily.

It was also because of the existence of these demon beasts that Duan Chen took a lot of detours when he was in a hurry, otherwise, if he hurried here, Duan Chen would have spent less time.

Jumping down from this steep stone wall, Duan Chen's face was a little unsightly, he had a feeling that the direction he chose this time should be wrong, if he continued to walk like this, it is estimated that he will only enter the deeper deep mountains and rivers, in that kind of place, it is estimated that even a great demon comparable to the human heaven and human realm may appear!

The demon beast is already very tricky for Duan Chen, let alone a big demon, if he continues to go deeper, if he is targeted by a hidden big demon, with his current strength, it is estimated that even escaping is a luxury!

Standing in place, silent for less than 1 minute, Duan Chen gritted his teeth and made a decision to go in the opposite direction! Go back!

Although I am very unwilling to take so many unjust roads in vain, what can I do? I can only blame myself for my bad luck.

So, Duan Chen began to go back again, the road when he returned, for Duan Chen, to be more familiar, therefore, he hurried faster, at noon on the third day, Duan Chen passed by the mountain forest where the old tree spirit was, he raised his head and looked at the tall and straight figure of the old tree spirit at the highest point on the top of the mountain, as well as his treetop branches, which were still intertwined into an umbrella shape, and the branches and leaves that had never been separated, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, thinking that this time he left, at least for a month, he would not see the old tree spirit, As a result, it was only 2 days before they met again.

After Duan Chen took a deep look at the old tree spirit standing on the top of the mountain, he turned his head and continued on his way.

This time, Duan Chen felt that he should be on the right path, he could clearly feel that the ups and downs of the surrounding mountains had become much smoother, the number of demon beasts and desolate beasts was also decreasing, and the number of fierce beasts was constantly increasing, and gradually, there were even some traces of sporadic beasts!

As for those poisonous insects, snakes, ants, and whatnot, they were not as arrogant as those of their kind in the depths of the dense forest, Duan Chen only slightly released some breath belonging to the innate realm, and they consciously stayed away from Duan Chen, not daring to come closer!

Without the trouble of those poisonous insects, snakes and ants that are inexhaustible and endless, Duan Chen feels that he can finally sleep well!

In the evening, Duan Chen sat on the branch of a tree, and maintained his 'grass and trees spirit' exploration range within 100 meters of his body, he closed his eyes and began to sleep, after he left the old tree spirit, in order to find the way out, he didn't close his eyes for several days, and he really needed to take a good rest.

It's just that without the protection of the old tree spirit, although there is a 'grass and trees with spirits' to probe the surroundings and warn him, but this night, Duan Chen still didn't sleep very well, and his sleep was also very shallow, and he woke up from his sleep several times, only to find that either some forest birds swept through the sky, or some fierce beasts foraged for food at night, passing over the edge of his 'grass and trees spirit' vigilance, and so on several times, Duan Chen no longer had the idea of continuing to sleep.

He jumped off the tree, nibbled on a few bites of jerky, drank some water, and then walked on his way by moonlight.

In the early morning of the fourth day, Duan Chen was on the top of a hill covered with weeds, looking into the distance, and finally saw people for the first time!

It was a large puff of smoke, turning into a straight column of smoke, rising from a distance, even if it was a long distance, Duan Chen could still clearly see its existence!

This pillar of smoke, either there's a forest fire there, or there's supposed to be a human being!

Duan Chen stood in place, and after watching carefully for a while, he only felt very excited in his heart, he had lived alone in the barren mountains and Daze for more than ten days, and if he continued like this, he would almost become a savage, and now, when he finally saw the people, he was in tears!

In the wilderness mountains and forests, Duan Chen went straight to the direction where the pillar of smoke was, he felt that there should be a human settlement there, and it was very likely to be a small tribe!

The pillar of smoke seemed to be very close, but in fact, it was still a long distance away from Duan Chen, Duan Chen did not stop, and ran for half an hour before he approached that place!

This is a fairly flat canyon, in the center of the canyon, there are some large and small wooden houses, as well as thatched houses, a relatively strong, wooden fence composed of thick logs, the whole settlement is enclosed, at the front end of the wooden fence, there is a wooden gate, in the rest of the place, there are some higher than the wooden fence towers.

It is said to be a watchtower, but it is actually a high platform made of some rough wood, and there are usually people with hunting bows or homemade javelins standing there, guarding the surroundings to prevent wild beasts or people from falling from outside from coming and sneaking up on their tribes.

The layout of all this, Duan Chen is so familiar, and the overall layout of the Chaishi tribe where he is located is so similar!

But now, this unknown little tribe hidden in the canyon has completely fallen into the Shura Hell, the tribe, there are blood stains everywhere, corpses lying everywhere, whether it is a thatched house or a wooden house, it has been ignited, and the fire licks everything that can be burned, as if the entire tribe is completely burned into a pile of ruins!

In the combustion, a thick smoke rose, and there was no wind, so these thick smoke gathered together and rose upward, and this was also the origin of the column of smoke that Duan Chen saw when he was still far away!

Hundreds of birds with gray-black wings, similar to real-life crows, flew wildly and hovered above the flames and smoke.
