Chapter 178: Sawtooth Beast
Lin Qingwan followed the old man all the way to Liuzhou City, and the guide's endless words came from her ears, chattering: "Hey, girl, do you know when the post road we are taking now came out?" ”
"Fifty years ago?"
She came back to her senses and replied casually, she remembered what Bai Luochen had said, what she had said about this misty forest and this post road.
"Haha, it's been more than fifty years, I was a personable young man back then, and now I've become a gray-haired old man."
The old man touched his white beard and said, This is an old man in his sixties, his name is Liu Xiang.
When I was young, I ran a dart game, and I walked back and forth hundreds of times in this misty forest, so I can be said to be very familiar with this misty forest.
Now that he is old and can't run far, he can only stay in the city to retire, and his life is quite poor.
The old man drove the carriage and continued: "This road is the only way to the misty forest, the terrain here was steep and extremely difficult to walk, and then the imperial capital sent people to repair the road, and it is said that more than 50,000 people died in order to build this road. ”
Liu Xiang took a puff of his cigarette pouch, looked at the wide road, and continued: "Fifty thousand people, this road is piled up with corpses, and later in order to commemorate the dead who died by building this road, Zhenbei Hou specially buried the corpses of these people together, and set up a monument, called the Heroic Spirit Monument, girl, you see, it is in front." ”
When Lin Qingwan heard what he said, she couldn't help but look up and look in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, she saw a huge stele with three big characters written on it.
The stele was two zhang high and about five feet wide, and there was a soul-suppressing beast on the left and right in front of the stele.
Lin Qingwan couldn't help sighing, and silently recited the death spell in her heart for those dead souls.
"Girl, a little further is the Misty Forest, the Misty Forest is full of powerful miasma, and the Misty Forest is strangely ruthless, even if you fly over the forest on a mount, you will definitely fall."
Liu Xiang looked at the dense woods not far ahead, looked at Lin Qingwan and said.
"In that case, how are we going to get over it later?"
Lin Qingwan frowned, looked at the black mist above the misty forest in front of her, and asked anxiously.
"Hehe, don't worry, the old man naturally has a way to take the girl through this misty forest smoothly."
Liu Xiang touched Bai Huahua's beard and glanced at Lin Qingwan meaningfully.
"Girl, you bring this mask, this mask can resist the miasma in front, but girl, you must follow me for a while, don't get too far from the old man, this misty forest is full of poisonous snakes and beasts, definitely not a joke, when I darts, my men died in this forest."
Liu Xiang looked at Lin Qingwan, and his face suddenly became extremely serious.
"Okay, I'll be following the old man."
Lin Qingwan replied, and when he said this, even she couldn't help but start to get nervous.
"What's that sound?" Lin Qingwan listened to a strange sound suddenly sounding in her ears, as if it was a person's roar in pain.
"Really? Did the girl hear anything? Liu Xiang was obviously taken aback, he listened attentively, but did not hear any sound.
"Can't you hear me? It was like a low roar from a person in agony. ”
Lin Qingwan's scalp tingled when she heard the voice, and she felt as if the voice was coming from hell.
"Really? Girl, did you hear that? It is said that under the waterfall of the Misty Forest is the entrance to the Lethe River, and after death, people must cross the water of the Lethe River to wash away their sins, and reincarnate as a human being on the bridge of Kaonnaho with a clean body. ”
"The entrance to the Lethe River? Is there such a statement?
? Lin Qingwan couldn't help but be stunned.
"Yes, but this is a river that does not exist in this world, but a place that can only be seen and heard after death, and ordinary people can't hear it, but it is said that people with super spiritual power can occasionally hear it."
Liu Xiang looked at the forest in the distance, listened to the sound of the waterfall coming from the forest, and tried to listen, but he didn't hear anything.
He looked up at the sky above him, where the bright and dazzling sunlight poured down from the dense foliage, revealing a dappled blue sky, high and vast, eternal and unchanging.
"Girl, be careful!"
Liu Xiang said, seeing a huge demonic beast with spikes on its body rushing towards Lin Qingwan frantically.
Lin Qingwan heard his exclamation, turned to look, and found that the monster was running frantically towards her, and couldn't help but be surprised, and immediately toe to the ground, swept behind the monster.
Then he pulled out the moon-breaking sword in his hand, and stabbed the sword into the eye of the demonic beast, and the demonic beast was in pain, and rushed towards Lin Qingwan even more fiercely.
"Girl, this is a sawtooth beast, the spikes on its body are poisonous, you must be careful, the scale armor on its body is extremely hard, but its abdomen is abnormally weak, the girl can find a way to attack its abdomen."
Hearing this, Lin Qingwan quickly took a few steps back, and then quickly walked towards the sawtooth beast.
She suddenly slashed sideways through its abdomen, and the Moonbreaker Sword in her hand instantly cut a bloody wound on its stomach, and the sawtooth beast instantly howled and fell to the ground.
"What a skill, girl."
Liu Xiang couldn't help but praise Lin Qingwan's beautiful movements in one go when he killed the sawtooth beast.
And Bai Luochen and his party, who were thousands of miles away, walked day and night for two days, and finally arrived under the tower of Liuzhou City when night fell.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, his subordinate is Xu Bin, the guard of Liuzhou City."
Xu Bin was dressed in a military uniform and heroic, and his dark and bottomless eyes were like a pool of deep water that flooded people with nowhere to breathe.
In the surrounding darkness, no one saw the corners of Xu Bin's mouth inadvertently rise.
"What's the recent situation at the border? Did the people of Dongli still come to burn, kill and loot? Bai Luochen waved his hand and motioned for the city defender, who was kneeling on one knee, to stand up.
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, Dongli's soldiers still repeatedly violated the border mirror, disturbing the people of Liuzhou City, everyone was in danger, they were hiding at home, and they didn't even dare to do business."
Xu Bin lowered his head and said, with a faint hint of anger in his tone.
"Let's go back to the barracks first, and then talk in detail about the plan to go out tomorrow to conquer the Eastern Li Army."
Bai Luochen looked at Xu Bin and said, and then the group entered the city gate and walked towards the location of the barracks.
