Chapter 61: The Old Man in the Mountains and Forests
The chaotic sky was baked by the extremely white sun, like an invisible furnace boiling water, and those uncomfortable heat waves continued to rush from the sky to the ground, like a tsunami of red-hot magma, and everyone standing on the top of the mountain only felt that every pore on their body was steaming...... However, unlike them, these plants growing in the mountains and forests do not seem to be affected by the heat, from the towering trees to the wild grasses and thorns on the roadside, each plant is full of strange vitality.
There was no wind in this mountain, as if the air had lost its ability to flow, and it was so hot that people wanted to escape from here, but Chen Xian and they could clearly hear the sound of the rope in the mountain forest, as if there was a mountain wind blowing this forest from beginning to end, whether it was leaves or weeds, they were swaying with this imperceptible wind.
"Judging from the topography, this should be the Meishan Mountain we are familiar with, and Master Shen's cave should be there......" Chen Xian said as he raised his hand and pointed to the mountain forest on the right, "There is still a mountain road they opened up a mile to the west, and we went up the mountain from there." ”
Everyone was silent, and the expressions on everyone's faces were ugly, as if they didn't really want to accept this reality.
"But now it's gone." Chen Xian said, even though he tried his best to control his emotions, but the tone of his voice revealed a trace of unease, "If Master Shen's cave mansion is a domain created by it, or a part of the domain, then it is normal to disappear now, but the mountain road ...... There are also a few rocky patches halfway up the mountain, and those are gone......"
As he spoke, Chen Xian raised his head and looked at the ominous white sky.
"I suspect we're still in a coma, or we're in some kind of hallucination...... But it doesn't feel like it. ”
"Are we going to really cross over?" Lu Yisheng asked tentatively.
"Unlikely." Chen Xian shook his head and said, "I suspect that I am in a coma now, you are just in my dream...... But I can't be sure if you're the person of my dreams right now, and that's a little bit too big for me. ”
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other for a while, and a confused expression appeared on everyone's face, because they also began to doubt if what Chen Xian said was true......
"Smack!"
With a crisp sound, Lu Yisheng covered his face pitifully, looking at Chen Xian, who had slapped himself coldly just now, and only felt that he had never been so wronged in his life.
"Boss, you hit me dry hair??"
"Does it hurt?" Chen Xian asked intimately, his eyes were full of curiosity, as if he wanted to find the answer from Lu Yisheng, "Pain is not a dream!" ”
"Then you should beat yourself!" Lu Yisheng was about to cry.
"Oh oh yes ha......" Chen Xian said embarrassedly, raised his hand and gestured twice on his face, but finally put it down, muttering in his mouth, "My hand hurt when I hit you, don't try it." ”
"There is such a boss on the stall......" Li Daosheng laughed gloatingly, glanced at Lu Yisheng, and said in a loud voice, "You are a pearl." ”
Hearing this, Lu Yisheng didn't say a word, but he just pumped his big mouth.
I have to say that Lu Yisheng's child has won the true inheritance of Section Chief Chen, and there is no warning before he starts, and the tricky angle of attack is even more terrifying...... This is nothing short of a miracle to outsiders!
Li Daosheng's personal strength is definitely not weak, and it is even comparable to some super-grade aliens within the Secret Bureau, but he was attacked by Lu Yisheng, a strangeman whose strength is far inferior to his own, isn't it a miracle?
"You dare to hit me?!" Li Daosheng covered his face in disbelief.
"I want to see if I'm dreaming." Lu Yisheng snorted coldly, put on a look that I don't scare you at all, and then secretly walked a few steps to Chen Xian's side.
Without waiting for Li Daosheng to say anything more, Chen Xian suddenly spoke.
"Stop arguing!"
Chen Xian was looking at a mountain forest on the east side of Meishan with half-squinted eyes, he seemed to have found something, and there was a trace of undisguised astonishment in his calm eyes.
"Do you see a house over there?"
Hearing Chen Xian's words, everyone raised their eyes one after another.
Although the vegetation in the forest is extremely dense, it can be seen through the gaps in the forest...... A few kilometers away in the mountains and forests, there seem to be some houses, and the outlines of some buildings can be faintly seen.
"Let's take a look."
Chen Xian said, shaking the meat saw knife in his hand.
Then he seemed to feel that something was not quite right, and looked down at his weapon again, a look of confusion between his eyebrows.
"What's wrong?"
Mu He held Chen Xian's arm, and woke up from a coma until now, there was no emotion like nervousness and panic on her face, as if all this was not worth being afraid of her, as long as Chen Xian was by her side...... As long as he is there, there is nothing to fear.
"I don't know." Chen Xian shook his head, lifted the meat saw and looked left and right, there was still some doubt in his eyes, "It seems that the knife has become heavy." ”
At this time, Lu Yisheng also spoke up and pointed to the duffel bag behind him.
"Boss! Don't you say I haven't found out yet! My bag seems to have become heavy too! ”
"You don't feel wrong, do you? Really getting heavy? Li Daosheng suddenly spoke, as if he had also noticed some strange phenomenon, and looked down at the magic sword he was wearing, "My sword is also ...... I thought it was my delusion. ”
"Boss, let's say we did cross the ...... Isn't the gravity of this world different from ours? ”
Lu Yisheng's eyes lit up, the nervous and helpless emotions before had long been swept away, replaced by an extreme excitement, after all, after watching so many years of crossing, it was the first time it fell on his head, even if it was a dream, it was worth it!
"Who knows." Chen Xian sighed, no longer cared about these little things, turned around and walked down the mountain, "Let's go over there first, maybe there is someone in the house." ”
Seeing that Chen Xian began to descend the mountain, everyone followed one after another, for them Chen Xian was already the backbone of the existence, in the face of this strange situation, it is the safest thing to walk with Chen Xian, not only Lu Yisheng them, including Li Daosheng, also think so...... It seems that only by getting closer to Chen Xian can you get a sense of security.
Everyone crossed the mountains and mountains, through the dense forest under the hillside, and the journey was very smooth and did not encounter the slightest danger, but Chen Xian and they also found many strange things along the way, or they got a lot of information.
The topography here is the same as that of Meishan, which can be said to be completely carved out of a mold, but it is only a general mountain topography, and there are still many differences in the details, such as some disappearing rocky land, and mountain roads that have never appeared....... Of course, what made Chen Xian unbelievable the most was another point, which was also the first thing Xu Yanan noticed.
The plants in this mountain seem to be ordinary and common, but if they look closely and identify carefully, Chen Xian and the others find that these flowers and trees everywhere are unprecedented before.
It can even be said that they have never appeared in the original world, and they are all completely new species!
"I'm kind of starting to suspect that we've crossed ....."
Chen Xian led everyone to walk in the jungle, the high temperature made him a little short of breath, and his voice was obviously a little unstable, it seemed that there was an uncontrollable wheezing phenomenon of ordinary people, walking such a way, the clothes on his body were soaked with hot sweat, and his body was sticky and unspeakably uncomfortable.
"Maybe it's a dream." Li Daosheng still didn't believe it.
"It's better not to think like that." Chen Xian reminded without looking back, although his tone was a little cold, he could hear that he was seriously telling Li Daosheng, "If you think this is a dream, don't avoid the danger that should be avoided...... It's not worth it to die. ”
At this moment, everyone was only five hundred meters away from their destination, and they could already clearly see the outlines of those houses.
The houses are very similar to the self-built houses in the countryside in the old era, almost all of them are the most common one-story mud tile houses, and there are a few old roads that seem to be paved with green bricks nearby, but the length of those roads is only one or two hundred meters, and the most primitive mountain roads are restored to the depths of the forest...... There is no trace of cultivation nearby, at least Chen Xian did not see it on the top of the mountain, and Chen Xian still did not see it here, but it is certain that someone must have lived here.
"What's going on...... Could it be that the gravity here is really different from our world......" Chen Xian secretly wondered in his heart, he was also out of breath all the way, he hadn't seen this kind of embarrassment for many years, "Why can't you walk so many miles......
"Boss, we're going to cross over!" Lu Yisheng panted heavily, his face was also red, and his legs trembled uncontrollably when he walked, "I can't even walk for such a short distance...... It's scary! ”
The reaction of the others was similar to that of Lu Yisheng, maybe slightly better, but definitely not much better.
After driving a few miles in the mountains in a row, everyone looked out of breath, this kind of embarrassing situation would never have appeared in everyone before, after all, they were all aliens, and their physique far exceeded the level of ordinary people...... How is it possible to be half tired and half dead after walking for so many miles?
Not to mention a few miles, even running for miles in the mountains is not a problem.
is like an alien like Chen Xian, whose physical fitness is extremely terrifying, running down a few miles of mountain roads may be similar to walking, so that he will not breathe when he runs for dozens of miles in a row.
But what about now?
Compared with others, Chen Xian was not much stronger, and he still walked out of breath and sweating profusely.
"Who are you?"
Suddenly, an old voice came from the woods in front of me.
The voice came without warning, and many people were frightened by him.
When everyone followed the sound, they saw a tall and thin figure standing in the woods more than ten meters away, like an old man holding a firewood knife in his hand.
Chen Xian was about to open his mouth to respond, but the old man walked out first.
Seeing his strange and even ugly face, everyone couldn't help but shudder in unison, only to feel that today was an eye-opener, and there would be humans who looked like this!
At this time, the old man spoke again, and there was a dangerous aura in his tone.
"Who are you?"
