Chapter 3: Forward, the Blue Stone Statue
The secluded primeval forest stretches for miles, and the older you go, the older you get, the older you get, the tangled branches of the trees that show how old they are more than a hundred years old. But the towering ancient trees are separated from each other, which makes the forest a little less dense and more sunlight is put into it, making the forest scenery more beautiful.
However, Mulan didn't feel bright at all, she lowered her head and frowned slightly, only to feel a shallow haze floating above her head.
She was really helpless - it stretched for ten miles, no matter how fast she ran, how fast she was, and even with the three-stage displacement attached to the "Cang Po Slash", as long as she slowed down, within an hour, she could be followed by the ghostly male mage.
"Helpless" Mulan can only choose to accept the follow-up of the brain-dead mage.
That's right, Zhang Liang was suspended in mid-air behind Mulan, following Mulan unhurriedly. It's true that he can't outrun Mulan, and he can't keep up with her speed, but he can communicate with nature and know Mulan's location anytime and anywhere. As long as Mulan slows down, he will definitely be able to catch up.
"Girl, can you tell me...... Your name? Zhang Liang looked at Hua Mulan, who was concentrating on the road in front of him, and said, "By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet." ”
"My name is Zhang Liang, and I have a word for the house." Zhang Liang suddenly stopped in the void, introduced himself seriously, and then looked at Mulan, expecting her to turn around and tell himself her name as well.
However, Hua Mulan didn't care about Zhang Liang at all, she just concentrated on walking, and Quan was followed by a ghost talking nonsense.
Zhang Liang saw that Mulan didn't care about him, and he was not sad, so he still flew over and followed Mulan's pace.
In this way, Mulan walked forward quietly, and Zhang Liang followed leisurely, asking Mulan all kinds of words as he flew. Hua Mulan ignored it, Zhang Liang was not stunned, the two of them went forward and one after the other, one was quiet and the other was noisy, and they looked quite harmonious.
But after walking like this for half an hour, Mulan finally couldn't help it-
"That's it! Are you finished? My name is Mulan, okay?! Hua Mulan finally couldn't suppress her temper, and suddenly turned her head and yelled at Zhang Liang. However, the moment she turned her head, she saw that Zhang Liang had flown to her side at some point, and was hovering beside her face.
At this moment, the two stared at each other, breathing each other could be heard, and their emotions were as complex as cocoons.
"Who allowed you to be so close to me!" - Seeing Zhang Liang's face suddenly appear in front of him, still so close, Hua Mulan, who was extremely angry and suppressed, finally couldn't help it.
So she suddenly slapped her backhand, and the palm with brewing powerful power slapped directly on Zhang Liang's smiling face, and then, the defenseless Zhang Liang was pulled out of the whole person. It was he who immediately and desperately released the magic blue energy to maintain his figure, so that he didn't roll all the way to the ground.
Zhang Liang, who was barely floating in the air, lightly touched his red and hot cheeks with his hand, and suddenly felt the greatest pain in his life. "You...... You're too ruthless, aren't you? ”
Mulan gasped slightly, her long-suppressed anger finally released, and she suddenly felt much lighter. And at this moment, a soft sound came from the forest - suddenly, Mulan's eyes froze, stopped breathing, and her right hand gently pressed the hilt of the sword, and her superb fighting quality was immediately reflected.
"Cang Po Chop" Hua Mulan suddenly turned around, pulled out her giant sword, and jumped quickly. The moment she jumped up, Mulan saw a gray wolf with blue stripes and antelope horns waiting under an ancient tree closest to her.
In the rush of "Cang Po Slash Double", Mulan tapped lightly on the ground, jumped up again, and the sword blade wrapped around the strength approached the crescent antelope wolf lying behind the tree. Everything happened too quickly, and Mulan struck too suddenly—the sword slashed quickly, and the antelope wolf was already in a different place before he could dodge.
Zhang Liang on the side saw that there was a wild monster attacking, and regardless of the pain in his cheeks, he hurriedly flew towards Mulan. And just when Mulan had just killed the crescent antelope, several low whistlings sounded from three directions at the same time, Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan heard the sound, only to see three crescent antelope wolves running out of the hidden place in the woods, with silver horns flashing on their heads, and slaughtered Mulan in the middle with a siege momentum.
The giant sword in Mulan's hand exuded a layer of sword qi, she held the sword and slashed forward, and the fierce sword slash killed the crescent antelope wolf in front of her, at this time, Mulan was about to turn around to deal with the other two, but she didn't want the two antelope wolves to be too fast, and they had already pounced behind Mulan, and the murderous aura of the antelope horns flashing with silver light was fully displayed.
"Spirit Barrier" Zhang Liang lightly hooked the middle finger of his left hand, the magic blue surged, and a fire-colored energy wall appeared between Mulan and the antelope wolf - the wild monster's IQ was certainly not enough to distinguish the wall as thin as a light veil, but it just slammed into it savagely. Fire-colored energy invaded, instantly stunning the two antelopes.
When Mulan turned around and saw the weak paper-like energy barrier again, she couldn't help but have some psychological shadows, but she didn't miss the opportunity, and quickly swung her sword to finish off the two antelope wolves who were still dizzy. At this time, the corpses of several dead antelope wolves suddenly and rapidly decayed, and all the energy of their limbs converged to the antelope horns.
After a few moments, the carcass of the antelope vanished, leaving only eight crystalline silver antelope horns - the most essential parts of their bodies will remain after the death of wild monsters above the intermediate level, those things are rare treasures, and the price is high in the human world, and the supply exceeds the demand. However, Mulan and Zhang Liang have little interest in these things.
"There are wild monsters who dare to attack me closely, it seems that this place is close to the high-level wild area." Hua Mulan looked at the antelope horns that were left on the ground and thought to herself.
Suddenly, she felt a sense of emptiness surging in her body, the magic blue in her body had been dissipating, and she had used her skills just now, and at this moment, the magic blue energy in Mulan's body was approaching the bottom line again. "Come on, hurry up, and you'll be able to find the Azure Stone Statue." Mulan thought to herself, so she walked straight forward.
"Lan Lan, where are you going?" Zhang Liang flew to Mulan's side and asked naturally, as if he had forgotten the pain on his face.
Hearing the leisurely "Lan Lan", Mulan only felt that her waist suddenly flashed, and then she refuted angrily: "Who allowed you to call me that, am I very familiar with you?" ”
"But I think it's more convenient to call you 'Lan Lan'." Zhang Liang looked at Mulan's shallow frowning, not in a hurry or impatient, and with a smile on his face.
Mulan turned around and stepped up quickly, she really didn't want to pay attention to the innocent idiot. Moreover, she had to find the blue stone statue as soon as possible.
"Lan Lan, don't run so fast, wait for me!" Zhang Liang saw Mulan hurrying forward, and hurriedly followed.
As dusk approached, the light in the forest was no longer bright, and the surrounding ancient trees were a little darker, and the wild monsters lurking in the forest gradually opened their claws, making the air in the forest also become restless. The red light of the setting sun reflected on the steps of the entrants, stretching their figures for a long time.
Hua Mulan released her powerful aura with all her might, so that the wild monsters lurking around her did not dare to come forward. She didn't have time to delay the monsters, it was getting late, if it was night, they would be in the core jungle area would be very disadvantaged, and the magic blue energy in her body was dissipating rapidly, so she had to find the blue stone statue quickly no matter what.
"It's already deep into the high-level wild area, and the blue stone statue should appear!" Mulan wondered in her heart.
Zhang Liang has been flying behind Mulan, but he is no longer as leisurely as before, and his expression is a little worried.
At this moment, in the distance in front of Hua Mulan and Zhang Liang, a giant beast's roar suddenly sounded, the roar was like thunder, resounding in the sky, and all the birds and beasts around were startled and fled in panic. Hua Mulan and Zhang Liang also stopped.
Zhang Liang frowned slightly, and immediately blinded, spreading his consciousness and connecting with nature. However, after his soul consciousness was dispersed, he could not enter this piece of nature freely, Zhang Liang was taken aback, the hinterland of Julu Canyon was actually rejecting his communication, the natural form here was not pure, and it seemed to be a "master's land".
Zhang Liang's consciousness flowed in the natural system within a hundred miles, and there was very little information that could be obtained, and the only thing that could be clearly perceived was that a large amount of demon blue energy was overflowing thousands of kilometers in front of him.
Zhang Liang opened his eyes and said with a little seriousness: "There is a large amount of demon blue energy overflowing in front, I'm afraid there are high-level wild monsters fighting." We can't go any further, Lanlan. ”
"Demon Blue Energy Overflowing?" Mulan subconsciously asked.
"Hmm." Zhang Liang nodded, "It's a lot, I'm afraid it's several high-level wild monsters." ”
When Mulan heard this, she was overjoyed. The overflow of a large amount of demon blue energy may not be a battle between many high-level monsters, but it may also be a blue stone statue! That rare monster is a fountain of demonic blue energy in its body!
Without any further hesitation, Mulan immediately sped forward.
"Lan Lan !!" Seeing Mulan rushing forward, Zhang Liang was suddenly anxious, and subconsciously wanted to stop her, but Mulan sped up, and he couldn't stop it at all. Zhang Liang's eyes were full of helplessness, so he had no choice but to follow.
Mulan rushed quickly, and within a few minutes, she saw the end of the forest - at the end of the forest, a large area of ancient trees stopped, and outside of it, there was a strange land where no living creatures came, flowers and plants did not open, where large black rock barriers gathered into mountains, and the mountains surrounded each other into gorges, and the whole wasteland seemed to be separated from a small canyon in the sky.
And at the junction of the forest and the wasteland, a huge stone was slowly wriggling, the stone was all white, covered with a layer of pale blue crystal, and the most strange thing was that it had four limbs - the stone arm like a mountain turtle was propped up on the ground and crawled hard, and if you looked closely, there were two strange blue eyes blinking under the stone!
