Chapter 498: Zodiac
【Chinese Network】, to provide you with wonderful reading.
After about an hour, Yang Xiao and the others gradually adapted to the night in the valley, holding the branches with both hands and leaning on the huge fork to sleep.
Suddenly, there was a loud roar in the distance, which shook Yang Xiao and Ben Yin and opened their eyes at once.
Immediately after, Yang Xiao felt the trunk of the big tree tremble slightly, and there was a heavy footstep in the distance, as if a giant beast was walking in the valley, and every step made people feel earth-shattering.
The two of them didn't dare to move, but looked up at the valley in the distance, and through the gap in the branches, they vaguely saw a giant beast about twenty meters tall slowly approaching.
Because the light was dark at night and the distance was relatively far, Yang Xiao couldn't see what kind of monster it was.
There was a scream, and it seemed that another monster had been trampled to death by the giant beast.
The shadow of the giant beast seemed to be very slow, but in a moment, it moved to a place dozens of meters away from Yang Xiao, with the help of the moonlight, Yang Xiao and Ben Yin found that it was a giant elephant, more than twenty meters high, with a huge body, slowly walking by, with the murderous aura of the overlord.
Immediately there was a loud noise in the forest, which was the sound of monsters from other places desperately running away, for fear of being caught by this giant monster.
When the giant elephant passed by the big tree where Yang Xiao and the two were staying, he suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at the big tree.
Yang Xiao and Ben Yin hurriedly held their breath.
At this time, the nearby giant eagle suddenly made a "uh" sound, vibrated its huge wings, flew up, and circled in the night sky.
The giant elephant was stunned for a moment, glanced at the giant eagle in the sky vigilantly, slowly walked under the big tree, and continued to walk forward.
When the giant elephant walked away, Yang Xiao and Ben Yin breathed a sigh of relief.
The two of them were not afraid of the giant elephant, but once they fought, they would inevitably reveal their hiding place in the forest, and they would inevitably be chased and disturbed by other mutant monsters.
In the valley at night, there were constantly roaring sounds and beasts fighting, and Yang Xiao and Ben Yin were able to sleep relatively peacefully in the second half of the night.
Compared to the cave in the forest on the edge of the dragon frame, it is indeed much more dangerous to spend the night here.
When the sun rose the next day, many wild beasts hid their tracks, and the valley became much calmer.
Yang Xiao and Ben Yin flew down the tree, ate some food they had brought with them, and continued to walk towards the core area of the Divine Dragon Frame, hunting monsters along the way.
The monsters here slowly became more powerful, and even ordinary spider mosquitoes began to become more huge, growing in size to about ten meters, faster speed, and greater attack damage.
Moreover, as soon as such mosquitoes flew over, there were dozens, or even hundreds, and sometimes Yang Xiao and Ben Yin were in a hurry, and Yang Xiao couldn't help it several times, and almost pulled out the bronze divine sword to fight.
Until the moment of life and death, Yang Xiao would not pull out the bronze divine sword.
For two days in a row, the two walked about fifty or sixty kilometers towards the core area of Shenlongjia, where they encountered a high mountain.
"Yang Xiao, how did you get over this mountain? Flip over? ”
"No, we can fly directly to the top of the mountain today by giant eagle for the night, and tomorrow we can fly to the bottom of the mountain by giant eagle, which will take at least a day or two to climb the mountain."
So, the two took a giant eagle and flew to the peak of a thousand meters or more.
The giant eagle landed on a flat ground at the top of the mountain.
Yang Xiao stood on the mountain peak and saw a surprising scene,
In the distance, there is a huge circular valley, surrounded by high mountains, and in the center of the valley, there is a large central lake, which looks like a huge mirror in the setting sun.
The surrounding mountain peaks are cloudy and mist, towering into the clouds, and occasionally a variety of giant birds fly in the sky, making people feel in a trance, as if they are in the Jurassic era, and see all kinds of flying dinosaurs flying in the sky.
"This is the lake in the core area that the wildlings call it, right?"
"It should be."
"We look close when we stand on the peak, but if we have to walk over, it is estimated that there are still about twenty or thirty kilometers."
"I really didn't expect that in the depths of the mountains of the Shenlong Frame, there is such a huge lake hidden, this place is immortal, if there is a Shenlong, it is really difficult to say."
"I guess it's about dragons or something, but it's still possible for giant pythons, or dragons or something."
"Well, we'll rest here tonight and explore the lake tomorrow."
The summit is not suitable for giant beasts, so it's a relatively safe place.
Yang Xiao and the two sat on a large rock on the mountain peak to rest, chewing dry food while watching the sunset, while the giant eagle enjoyed a huge lion alone nearby.
"If there are no end times, it is also a good choice to live in seclusion here."
Monk Benyin sighed.
Yang Xiao smiled:
"It's still good to establish a branch of Shaolin Temple here, and to become a monk."
"Amitabha, you and I thought about it this time, and when you subdued the entire Hubei Province, I will come here to build a thatched house on the peak, watch the sunrise and sunset on the top of the mountain every day, drink a cup of tea, leisurely, so happy."
"It's best to have a nunnery nearby,"
"Poof!" Ben Yin smiled,
"Why aren't you serious!"
Spending the night on the top of the mountain is different from in the valley, the top of the mountain is open and there are no trees to block it, and Yang Xiao can see the wider starry sky and look down on the mountains.
The cries of wild beasts in the distance were far away, not as close as they were in the valley.
For safety, the two flew to a huge rock dozens of meters high on the top of the peak at night, the rock wall was smooth, and ordinary large monsters could not climb over, plus there were giant eagles guarding nearby, and small monsters did not dare to come and harass.
There was nothing to do all night, and the next morning, Yang Xiao was still sleeping in his sleeping bag, when he heard the monk Benyin calling out to himself in his ear, and opened his eyes in a daze,
"Monk, I finally got a good night's sleep, why are you waking me up."
"Look, dragon!"
The tone of the monk Ben Yin was very excited, and his voice trembled a little.
Yang Xiao was startled, instantly sleepless, sat up, got out of the camping sleeping bag, looked around, and asked:
"Where's the dragon?"
Ben Yin pointed to the distance and whispered excitedly:
"There, above the lake, look!"
Yang Xiao looked in the direction of the right finger of the monk Ben Yin, and was suddenly stunned in surprise.
I saw that above the lake in the distance, in the crimson morning clouds, a silver-white giant beast flew up and down, sometimes drilling into the clouds, sometimes flying out of the clouds, frolicking, and happy.
"So, is that a legendary dragon?"
Yang Xiao asked excitedly.
"I don't know, but it looks very similar, anyway, we haven't seen a real dragon, but, according to the characteristics of the dragon soaring through the clouds, it should be a dragon, right?"
"But it's too far away to bring a telescope."
Ben Yin was stunned for a moment and said with a smile:
"You're right, I knew I came out with a telescope, I have a question for you."
"What?"
"Do you know the 12 zodiac signs of Huaxia?"
"Nonsense."
"Then you say, in the 12 zodiac signs, rats, oxes, tigers, rabbits, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs, and pigs, do we all see them in nature?"
"Right?"
"Why can't you see the dragon?"
"This, how do I know?"
"Then think about it, why did the ancients choose eleven animals that can be seen in daily life as the zodiac, but chose a virtual dragon?"
Yang Xiao was stunned for a moment and said:
"What do you mean, when the ancients chose dragons as zodiac signs, dragons actually existed?" For mobile phone users, please browse M. Reading for a better reading experience.
