Two hundred and eighty chapters

Although the thick fog that shrouded the valley had lifted, the 'cumulonimbus cloud' hovering over the dense forest still did not blow steadily.

The valley was originally very dark and humid, and the sunlight cast a golden halo above the clouds, but it could not penetrate the clouds and shine into the dense forest, and the valley was dark and eerie even in the daytime.

Ji Lang and his disciples set up a simple pontoon bridge on the water, this kind of terrain is inaccessible to large machinery, and can only be cut down by manpower to open the way, but this valley has existed in the dark for thousands of years, and the trees and flowers are no longer ordinary flowers and trees soaked by the gloomy atmosphere in the valley, not only the branches and leaves are very luxuriant, and the wood is also very hard.

Xiang Guang and Kang Qi led people to cut and cut down at the edge of the forest for a morning, and only opened a passage less than fifty meters forward, at this speed, if you want to enter the center of the valley, this project will be difficult to complete without ten days and a half months, but it is very cloudy, and the time of Lan Tianxing is very precious and cannot be delayed like this.

Since cutting down trees takes time and energy, why not try to use something more efficient and simple, if a fire burns the entire forest to ashes, will it be a shortcut that saves time and effort?

Ji Lang stood on the cliff and visually measured a few directions, estimated the approximate distance and wind direction and speed, and then asked his brothers to prepare gasoline and incendiary bombs. At the edge of the dense forest, I collected some dead branches and leaves on a small scale, lit a few fires, and then stood on the pontoon bridge and looked at the flowing water and others under the bridge.

He didn't really want to burn the forest and destroy the trees, but wanted to put up a decent formation to deter the mountain spirits in the valley, and if they happened to meet someone who knew the current affairs to help show them the way, they would save effort and worry.

There have been remnants of fallen leaves and petals floating along the water surface with the current, because it has always been scattered and no one cares, Ji Lang suddenly pulled a dead vine across the water and swept it horizontally, and the remnants of the flowers were raised and fluttered in the air like white butterflies, although scattered but very poignant.

There seemed to be a faint human face flashing among the fluttering petals, and after a pure and soft smile flashed on that face, it swiped forward in a certain direction in the dense forest, completely unhindered by the branches and leaves of the trees, and soon disappeared into the valley.

Ji Lang chased in the direction of the hidden face and soon stood in the forest, but after only a few steps, he stopped, and the surrounding was still leafy, but he could advance and retreat freely in the dense forest without any cover.

There is really a passage hidden in the seemingly dangerous barriers, and there are scattered snow-colored petals falling on the dead branches and leaves on the ground, and the petals stretch all the way forward like road signs, although if there is no one, it is still unbroken.

It's like a bud that has just bloomed, with a delicate fragrance.

"It turns out that I'm really here to show the way! Thank you..."Ji Lang smiled in the direction where the face disappeared, "Since my friend is willing to help with this, why don't you show up and guide the location of the general's tomb?" ”。

There was only a sigh of resentment in the wind, and then it disappeared into the valley. That sigh was full of grief and sorrow, and it seemed that endless thoughts were hidden deep in it and difficult to tell, and they all turned into that soft sigh and melted into the bleak cold wind.

It seems that the person who gave him the direction came out to help him at great risk, and it seems that there are still some unspeakable grievances that cannot be said, and all the secrets can only be turned into that sigh and dissipate with the wind, not daring to leave a trace.

"You... Do you seem to have any scruples? Ji Lang leaned over and picked up a petal, held it in his palm and asked, "Can I help you?" ”。

There was a light sigh with the wind, with a little loneliness and loneliness, a little loneliness and despair, and a bit of melancholy intertwined, which made people feel a little sad, a little distressed and a little unbearable.

"Hey... Wait, you haven't said anything! The tomb..."Ji Lang tried to chase after the sigh again, but there were only scattered flowers and fallen leaves in the wind.

The Rose King didn't know when he stood behind Ji Lang, and picked up the pear blossom in Ji Lang's hand with his fingertips and looked at it carefully, "It just opened, she is to give us directions to forcibly urge the buds to bloom, so this flower is so sweet, it really has a heart...".

"Heart? I'm afraid that it is, I have ulterior motives..."Ji Lang shook his head with a smile, "Before, the fog sealed the valley for half a month, and the young master and Mrs. just arrived, not only did the fog dissipate, but also a girl who was responsible for giving directions, even if he knew that our master was a 'great god', and if he wanted to please him, he didn't have to be so shadowy, so where would Mr. Kang and the owner of Huazhuang put their face?" ”。

"Third master, can you be a little more exaggerated?" Lan Tianxing also shook his head, "The fog dissipated because it was attacked by the cold ice Xuanyu, and it was the cold breath of the Xuanyu that gathered the fog into a dark cloud, and the one who came to show the way was afraid that you would really set fire to the forest, and they would have nowhere to live, does it have anything to do with me?" ”。

"Does it matter, you have to go in and have a look, maybe this is still a hundred flowers..."The Rose King raised his eyebrows and smiled, and then whistled in the direction of the creek, Xiang Guang and Xiang Peng and Xiang Kun quickly gathered over, and it was their brother's strength to go into the valley to find a tomb.

"Where's Kang's chess master?" Ji Lang didn't see Kang Qi coming over, and asked, "Don't you wait for them?" ”。

"There are too many dangerous and unknown factors ahead, so let's go into the Lan clan by ourselves!" Lan Tianxing signaled to Xiang Guang again, "Senior brother, you go in with me, and the two of them will stay and listen to Mr. Kang's dispatch to be responsible for the follow-up rescue...".

The more dangerous the road ahead, the more people like them need to go to the thunder ahead.

"But young master, even if our brothers can't..."Xiang Peng just wanted to refute, Xiang Guang also signaled him to stop talking nonsense and take Xiang Kun to withdraw first, "Go back!" ”。

There are too many uncertain factors in this valley, and people who enter the valley need to have a high degree of self-discipline and self-protection ability, otherwise they will become a burden to others and become a burden to the team.

"Brother, let's let Ah Kun go back first, I will go into the valley with you and the young master, if there is..."Xiang Peng thought that his ability and strength were okay, but before he finished his second sentence, Ji Lang had already reminded him very unceremoniously, "Go back, your speed is too slow and you won't be able to keep up with the team." Get out of the valley early and don't make a mess! ”。

Xiang Kun consciously took a few steps back, "Yes, my subordinates retreat...".

"Obey the order and go back to the camp!" Xiang Guang patted Xiang Peng on the shoulder and signaled that he didn't need to say much, compared with Ji Lang and the Rose King, his skills can only be regarded as the bottom of this team, and he has no time to be distracted from others, and bringing more people can only increase unnecessary trouble.

"Yes, my subordinates listen to orders..."Although Xiang Peng was a little reluctant, he could only take Xiang Kun back along the same road, but as soon as he walked out, Xiang Kun began to spin in place, "Second brother, these petals... What direction do you mean? The road ahead, it seems... Without! ”。

There were no passages in the jungle that the eye could see, and there was no way to pass through them, and they had to rely on the petals of the flowers scattered on the ground to guide them in and out. There is almost no wind in the forest close to the ground, but the petals used to guide the way are clumped together and constantly spinning in place, Xiang Kun is dazzled, not to mention that the path to distinguish the forest is the original direction of entry and cannot be found.

The three of them had only received the signal at the edge of the dense forest before, and Lan Tianxing and they were also waiting for Xiang Guang at the entrance, so they didn't go far, and they might walk more than ten meters out of the forest to meet the other brothers.

In addition, the visibility in front of you is not bad, the branches and leaves of the trees are much more sparse, and you can clearly see the stream and hear the sound of the murmuring water. This also shows that they are indeed still at the edge of the forest.

In addition to the small space where they are accommodated, they are surrounded by very real tree branches about five or six meters high, and the dark and damp environment also gives people a strong sense of fear of being oppressed and unknown. There is no passage in front and no way to retreat, as if in the blink of an eye, they are trapped in this square inch, and it is difficult to move an inch.
