In the Ganlu Mountains of the Land of Ten Thousand Mountains, a winter rain has caused the plants and trees to form crystal ice hanging.

"Click!click~~~"

In a bush of grass in the woods, Ji Fan, who had been curled up in it for a day, slowly got up, making the sound of ice cracking and flesh and bones cracking.

"Squeak!"

Compared with Ji Fan, whose flesh is full of ice ballast, the little hedgehog in his arms is quite happy.

Ji Fan has been partnering with the little hedgehog for four months and knows a little about its habits.

The little hedgehog does not like light, it is usually active at night, its sense of smell is very sensitive, its claws are sharp, it has the ability to find food, small poisons, fruits, seeds, herbs, is its favorite food.

Relying on a relatively safe route map in the domain of ten thousand mountains, Ji Fan took the little hedgehog and found the caravan early, but there were still thrills and dangers along the way.

In winter, the lack of food makes the wilderness even more dangerous.

"Save some food. ”

Being stared at by the little hedgehog, Ji Fan could only take out the knuckle-length colored centipede from the storage bag on his waist and put it in the grass.

The little hedgehog had a good appetite and quickly ran in.

Ji Fan was able to survive in the wild for these four months, and the little hedgehog's sense of smell and perception of danger have a lot of credit.

However, the forty-three centipede carcasses that Ji Fan got in the Three Humps had already been eaten clean by the little hedgehog with a strong appetite.

"The corpses of the two three-color centipedes can't last long!" Ji Fan sighed secretly, unable to make ends meet, this is how he feels with a little demon beast.

Although the land of ten thousand mountains is rich in resources, Ji Fan's current strength is too late to avoid danger, and it is not enough to find good cultivation resources.

As for the little hedgehog, it is even more timid, it has almost no combat power to speak of, and it can find food containing spiritual power, which is not enough for itself.

The demon beasts that follow the monks mostly depend on breeding, and Ji Fan had heard before that the demon beasts around the poor monks starved to death.

"If it goes on like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to support it!"

In the cold weather, Ji Fan opened the map of the animal skin scroll, and his mood was a little heavy.

Following the Lishan caravan all the way was actually the real reason why Ji Fan was able to survive four months in the land of ten thousand mountains.

After surviving in the land of ten thousand mountains for more than five months, Ji Fan deeply understood that in this vast mountain, his strength could only be at the bottom of the food chain.

Don't say it's a demon beast, even if it's a beast, Ji Fan doesn't dare to provoke it easily.

Different from ordinary mountains and forests, in the domain of ten thousand mountains, most of the beasts are infested in groups, and once the beast group forms a certain scale, there will be a beast king, and the beast king must be a demon beast.

With the Lishan caravan opening the way in front, coupled with Ji Fan's caution, the beast herd and demon beasts will mostly target the huge caravan.

But after arriving in the Ganlu Mountains, Ji Fan found that the situation of the caravan had changed.

"Ganjiazhai?"

Ji Fan looked at the map, he remembered that in Gujiazhai before, the young man who set up a gambling stone stall had mentioned this Ganjiazhai because he was asked about the origin of the stone.

In the land of ten thousand mountains, the essence of the spirit planted in the Ganjia cottage is famous.

"The caravan entered the cottage to open a business, two or three days is enough, why didn't you leave after leaving the Ganjia cottage, but stayed in the Ganlu Mountains?"

According to Ji Fan's observation, the Lishan caravan had stayed in the Ganlu Mountains for more than 20 days, which was very abnormal.

Ji Fan, who worked in the caravan before, knew that the caravan walking in the land of ten thousand mountains would open for business in some family cottages for about three or four days at most, because there was still a lot of way to catch up in the future.

If the caravan stops, there are mostly two possibilities, one is that the caravan is seriously damaged, the monk's guard is greatly reduced, and it needs to be supported, and the second is that there is a big business to take.

"Along the way, although the caravan has been attacked by several beast groups and demon beasts, when it reaches the Ganlu Mountains, the caravan should still be in good shape. Ji Fan looked at the route map seriously and muttered.

It was precisely because it was not normal for the caravan to stay in the Ganlu Mountains for a long time, and at this time, Ji Fan had already circled to the front side of the caravan's route.

"There are two dangerous mountains marked on the dangerous route near the Ganlu Mountains, and if the caravan does not go for a long time, it can only find a relatively safe mountain to hide, so as not to be discovered if something happens. After a while, Ji Fan put away the map and lifted his breath under a big tree not far away that the three of them couldn't hug together.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

As Ji Fan stood up, he continued to borrow strength on the branches of the big tree, and soon jumped to the height of the canopy and looked into the distance.

At night, the mountains on the outskirts of the Manna Mountains, one towering into the sky as if floating with a black mist, while the other was wrapped in lush greenery.

"Life and Death Peak!"

There is only one mark on the map where the two dangerous red crosses are.

Just looking at the two peaks, Ji Fan didn't dare to set foot easily, and his gaze quickly found a relatively bare mountain in the distance.

"Little one, what's the end?"

Coming down from the canopy, Ji Fan looked at the arched grass and called to the little hedgehog.

"Squeak!"

The little hedgehog who had solved a meal, the meat doodled out of the grass.

"We've got to go. ”

Ji Fan picked up the little hedgehog that jumped up, felt panicked, and put it in the animal skin bag.

Because the little hedgehog is out at night, Ji Fan is mostly in a hurry at night during this time, which is not easy to be discovered.

Ji Fan knew that if he was targeted by powerful monks and demon beasts, he was afraid that he would be buried in the land of ten thousand mountains.

When the level of the demon beast is not high, it is generally impossible to fight the human monks, but if the level of the demon beast is high, it is extremely terrifying, and it will even have the ability to reach the sky.

Ji Fan felt that the little hedgehog had grown to a certain extent in the past three months, even if it converged on the edge of the thorns, it was not soft now, but hard and hard.

The little hedgehog has a great appetite, but it can help a little, it can dig holes, and it also has the ability to hide its breath.

At this time, Ji Fan was dressed in rags, and the wind blew cold and transparent, but the exposed skin was coated with a layer of dry mud, which reconciled his breath.

This kind of dry mud is the little hedgehog chewing up the dead leaves and spitting them out, sticking to the thorns and body, Ji Fan found that this kind of leaf mud is applied to the body, and it is very practical to survive in the wild, at least the smell will not be found by wild beasts and demon beasts.

"The family's cottage can't be counted on!"

Ji Fan had never had the idea of being able to enter the family cottage, and as for the Fang Market where the wild monks gathered, he didn't dare to be too optimistic.

A lonely teenager, if he enters the market, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be targeted by someone with a heart.

"Boom~~~"

Just as Ji Fan was walking in the woods, the slight tremor of the Manna Mountains behind him faintly reached his ears.

"Did something happen?"

Ji Fan could vaguely feel that the sound seemed to come from the direction of the Gan family's cottage, but he was not sure if it had anything to do with the stay of the Lishan caravan.

Ji Fan, who quickly climbed to a tall tree, could see in the dark night that the distant Ganlu Mountains were in the air, with the cold air surging in the air, and even the brilliance of the treasure attack.

"Something doesn't seem right. ”

Ji Fan hesitated, but he still didn't dare to go back, jumped down from the tree, and went to the seemingly bare mountain peak as planned.

"I don't know if it's an anomalous climate change, or if there's a conflict. Ji Fan sped up his speed, hoping to find a place to stay and hide to observe the situation.

The reason why Ji Fan chose the bare mountain peak was mainly because the mountain peak looked nothing unusual, and the view from the mountain was relatively good.

At that time in the caravan, Ji Fan knew that the caravan made money with harmony, and as for whether there would be other attitudes, it depended on interests.

The world is chaotic, there are many large and small forces, from small gangs in the city, mountain bandits occupying the top of the mountain, to large cultivation families, dynasties and imperial forces, there are many unsightly means in the open and in the dark.

The caravan is peaceful and rich on the surface, but it is not a good class, some people say that the merchant is either a traitor or a thief, if necessary, it is not impossible to change his face into a robber, Ji Fan has such concerns to leave the caravan.

Before, Ji Fan seemed to be a working boy who was eating for a living, but after he sold magic weapons and obtained cultivation exercises, he felt that many people in the caravan looked at him differently.

"If anything really happens, this step away from the caravan is the right one. "Walking quickly in the woods, Ji Fan can already see the mountains that are not too far away.

Regarding the faint tremor of the Ganlu Mountain Range and the cold air covering the sky, Ji Fan is only guessing for the time being.

The climate change in the land of ten thousand mountains is very strange, now it looks like the four seasons are distinct, but the climate of the mountains and the mountains is not the same, Ji Fan heard the old man of the caravan talk before, the climate of the land of ten thousand mountains changes a lot from year to year, and in some years, there are even no obvious four seasons.

So even if there is a place in the land of ten thousand mountains, and suddenly hail falls from the sky or drops down significantly, Ji Fan will not be too surprised.

"Little guy, does this mountain peak have any abnormal breath?" The Manna Mountain Range had a tremor and it had not been more than half a burnt of incense, and Ji Fan had already rushed to the foot of the boulder-strewn mountain.

"Squeak~~~"

The little hedgehog in the animal skin bag crawled out, sniffed with his nose, and twisted and twisted to take Ji Fan into the mountain.

When he got closer, Ji Fan found that the mountain was not completely bare, but there were still some plants, which made him feel a little more relieved.

"This mountain is not short, mostly cliffs, the field of vision is relatively wide, just enough to see the peak of life and death, if there is no danger, it is a good hiding place. Ji Fan's thoughts were more worried that something would go wrong with the caravan, so that he could no longer follow him.

Counting the time that the caravan stayed in the Ganlu Mountain Range, Ji Fan found through the observation of the map that in the past few months, he had traveled more than half of the distance to the Xuanyin Mountain Range in the Land of Ten Thousand Mountains.

"Wait!"

Ji Fan looked at the Ganlu Mountains from the mountain, and found that from the direction of the Ganlu Cottage, there were several rays of light that crossed the night sky and came to the south.

Without Ji Fan's explanation, the little hedgehog quickly ran to his side and hid in a forest on the mountain together.

There were several rays of light in the air, and the speed of the escape was obviously different, as if they were chasing.

"So fast!"

Seeing the person flying away at the front, it seemed that there were light wings behind him, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed into the lush mountains in the distance, Ji Fan sighed nervously.

What surprised Ji Fan the most was the monk who gave birth to a light wing behind him, and in the process of escaping, he seemed to have brought a person with him, but he couldn't see it clearly.
