Chapter 11: Discovered
In the middle of the night, a bright moon hung in the sky, and the stars twinkled.
There is a faint whining wind at the mouth of the valley, but in the middle of the valley, the temperature is unusually hot.
"Whew!"
Ji Fan leaned against a big rock, panting quietly, his throat and chest were spicy, and he felt like he was about to catch fire.
The little black snake shot into the mouth of the small cave, and an hour had passed, and Ji Fan could only wait for it because he could hold back his thirst to find a water source.
On the one hand, Ji Fan is not sure that the little black snake can get out of the Burial Spirit Mountain Range safely without its leadership.
Before this, Ji Fan didn't expect that in such a barren stone valley, there would be a small hole leading to the belly of the mountain.
Compared to the majestic majestic peaks filled with red miasma in the distance, the stone valley here is really inconspicuous, at least in Ji Fan's opinion, the stone valley does not look like a mysterious place.
Ji Fan took the animal skin storage bag and did not take out the metal gourd inside, but fell into thought.
The road ahead is worrying, in the face of an unknown future, Ji Fan does not lack courage, so he has to climb into the cave, and what cultivators are fighting for is a glimmer of heaven.
In Ji Fan's mind, the North Sacrifice City can't go back, otherwise it will not end well if it is discovered by the people of the Ji family.
Cangluan Prefecture is steep in mountains, and Tianluo is just one of the small countries.
Between the mountains, the mountains and forests are deep and secluded, the rocks and cliffs are steep, in the complex environment, there are a large number of fierce beasts, as well as strange and strange monsters, not to mention warriors, even if the monks walk in the wild, it is also very dangerous.
"If you want to leave the range of the Northern Sacrifice City, you have to collect some news about the surrounding area first, so as to increase your chances of survival. The breath slowly calmed down, and Ji Fan also made a decision.
As for the Earth Fire Spring in the Burial Spirit Mountain Range, after Ji Fan personally understood the environment here, he no longer forced it, and with his current strength, he couldn't deal with too much risk.
Taking advantage of the fact that the black snake did not come out, Ji Fan wanted to close his eyes and rest, but it didn't take long for his body leaning on the boulder to suddenly shake, and he felt that something had been missed.
"The old man has a third-level cultivation of qi refining, even if he is old and unwell, he will not be easily beaten to death by me......" In the hot and humid weather, Ji Fan shivered.
Now that Ji Fan thinks about it, when he kills Chen Gengnian, it seems that it is a little easier to succeed.
"It was indeed smashed into the flesh of the old man's body, and he couldn't die anymore. Ji Fan invaded his consciousness into the storage bag and looked at the mustard seed space, which was not too big.
At that time, the necklace that killed the hunchbacked old man and hung two small coffin pendants glowed black, which made Ji Fan suspicious in his heart.
Whether it was the hunchbacked old man's spell that was interrupted before it was finished, or if it was something else strange, Ji Fan was not sure.
The two small coffin pendants on the necklace, one of the coffins was opened, and the other was still closed, although Ji Fan accepted the necklace, he didn't dare to touch it easily.
Thinking of the hunchbacked old man's jar, there were still living creatures before, and Ji Fan was cautious about the closed coffin pendant of the necklace.
"The little black snake seems to be very spiritual, and the black venom can break the seal, maybe you can give it a necklace. Ji Fan, who minded the necklace, quickly had an idea.
After being robbed by the little black snake, there was nothing left in the hunchbacked old man's storage bag, and at the moment, it seemed that it was just clothes and a little gold and silver, which was still a little useful to Ji Fan.
It's a pity that there are no spirit stones in the storage bag, as far as Ji Fan knows, the gold, silver and copper currency of the world, and the spirit stone currency of the cultivation world, are basically two systems.
For cultivators, spirit stones are hard currency, spirit stones are needed for cultivation, spirit stones are needed for combat, spirit stones are needed for refining weapons and medicines, and spirit stones are also needed for trading.
The reason why Ji Fan felt that the hunchbacked old man was a little poor was more because he didn't have even a low-grade spirit stone in his storage bag.
But thinking about it, Ji Fan was relieved a lot, even if it was a monk, the spirit stone was also a very scarce resource, in fact, the vast majority of monks were tight in terms of spirit stone.
The wealth of the Ji clan is only rich in gold and silver, and I am afraid that the Ju clan will not be able to take out many spirit stones.
"Silk!"
didn't let Ji Fan wait too long, and the voice of the little snake had already sounded from the small hole in the mountain wall.
Ji Fan hid behind the boulder, turned around keenly to check, and found that the black snake seemed to be a little thicker, and slowly swam out of the cave.
"There must have been something!"
Feeling that the black snake was squirming with a sense of satisfaction, Ji Fan guessed in a complicated mood.
"Will you ~ still go into the cave in the future?"
Ji Fan's mouth was dry and his voice was hoarse, as if he was holding sand in his mouth.
The black snake shook his head in satisfaction, and at the same time expressed his fear of Ji Fan.
"Then I'll plug the hole. ”
Ji Fan motioned for the black snake to swim farther away, and he came to eliminate the traces.
Taking advantage of the fact that the sky was not dawning, Ji Fan worked hard, and after half an hour's effort, he finally used the stones to pile up the high and cover the small hole in the mountain wall when there was still some foundation left in the stone pile.
Glancing up at the sky, the stars and the moon disappeared, and with the dawn of the morning, Ji Fan immediately observed a pile of rocks.
"Little Snake, do you think I have a chance to go to the mountain peak filled with red mist?" Ji Fan asked the black snake with difficulty as he breathed unevenly.
The black snake seemed to be able to see that Ji Fan was finished, and began to swim slowly out of the valley to guide the way.
Enduring the exhaustion and discomfort of his body, Ji Fan could only follow the black snake and leave.
At this time, Ji Fan's body was in tattered clothes, and the wounds on his skin from the cave were faintly bleeding, which was worse than asking for food.
After following the black snake for a while, he found that he was returning along the same path and heading towards the outside of the Burial Spirit Mountain Range, Ji Fan was secretly relieved.
Now Ji Fan's physical condition is very poor, he doesn't eat or drink all rely on patience, plus the left arm that was grabbed by the golden eagle is seriously injured, and the skin of his hands and body is also broken, just this smell of blood will also attract dangers such as beasts.
All the way to noon, the barren mountain was shining under the scorching sun, and there was no place for the shade, Ji Fan made a swallowing movement and stopped.
"I can't walk anymore, so let's take a break. Ji Fan summoned the black snake with great difficulty, and he had already sat down to breathe and breathe.
The direction of the Python River on the periphery of the Burial Spirit Mountain Range was in sight, and Ji Fan also had a clear understanding of his own situation.
After forging his body with the help of the incinerator fire, Ji Fan's condition of blocked meridians improved greatly, but he did not get a good chance to recuperate, coupled with the fact that he did not eat or drink, and there were injuries on his body, which was enough to make his situation more and more difficult.
The slightly thicker black snake seemed to understand that Ji Fan's physical condition was very poor, and he didn't urge him.
"If you can go out to the Burial Spirit Mountain Range, do you want to follow me?" After a pause for a stick of incense, Ji Fan asked the black snake.
"Silk!"
The black snake shook its head, with a feeling of fear in mind.
"After separation, be careful yourself, don't be targeted by the golden eagle again. Ji Fan had expected it and was quickly relieved.
In fact, Ji Fan was also thinking that if the little black snake followed, he couldn't rest assured, if he was bitten by it, this life would be explained, especially if he got along for a long time, the risk was not small.
Taking out a set of adult robes from the storage bag and changing them, Ji Fan tore the hem of the robe and covered the storage bag in his arms.
After resting and getting back on the road, at least Ji Fan is not so difficult to walk, and he can barely persevere.
Ji Fan held an iron axe in his hand, and a small package containing clothes was also tied diagonally on his back.
"Silk!"
At dusk, the little black snake, who had almost led the way for a day, actually raised a warning to Ji Fan.
After the little black snake didn't swim and the snake's head probed and probed, Ji Fan bypassed it, found a big stone as a cover, and probed it a little.
"Someone!"
found that there was a figure at the foot of the mountain in front of him, and it was not just one, this surprise was not trivial for Ji Fan.
Under Ji Fan's secret observation, there were four people at the foot of the mountain, which was already very close, but they did not go this way, scraping rust on the edge of the mountain rocks.
"Huh?"
Just as Ji Fan showed his head, a young man among the four was also very keen, and suddenly turned his head to look over here.
"Go back. ”
Opposite the gaze of the young man among the four, Ji Fan was very sure that he had been discovered, and while his heart was racing, he let the black snake retreat first.
"There's a small teenager ......"
The young man who found Ji Fan whispered to the other three, which soon attracted the attention of the three.
"Xiaoyou, since we are destined to meet in the Burial Spirit Mountain Range, why do you want to hide?" an old man made eye contact with the other three, hiding his ill intentions, and immediately shouted to Ji Fan.
"Whew~~~"
Observing the expressions of the four people, Ji Fan realized that something was wrong, and fled into the depths of the mountain range without responding.
"Ran!"
Because of the big rock, Ji Fan's escape was not discovered immediately, and when the young man reacted, he went to the boulder, but saw that the young man had run away.
"Chasing, this young man appearing in the Funeral Spirit Mountain Range must be unusual, and if he is caught, he may have a chance. The young man couldn't bear it anymore and urged the other three.
"Seeing that young man's movements are agile and powerful, it doesn't look like he's alone, in this Burial Spirit Mountain Range, it's better not to go deeper. "I didn't succeed at the first time, and the woman among the four hesitated slightly.
Seeing Ji Fan's escaping figure, blocked by the boulders of the mountains, the gray-robed old man couldn't help but show pity.
"Although the young man is vigilant, after all, he is still young, and he may come back if he is scared away this time, so he has to pretend not to pay attention to him, and then arrest him when he is close. The woman motioned not to be too obvious.
What the four of them didn't know at this time was that Ji Fan, who had fled, was pounding with nervous heart.
found that the four people did not catch up, Ji Fan was lucky to have picked up a life, and when he met the four people, the distance was not far away.
The experience of surviving in a desperate situation made Ji Fan have a keen perception of the sinister hearts of people, although he did not talk to the four people, he still noticed from the expressions of the four people that the other party did not have good intentions.
Fleeing to the distance to breathe a sigh of relief, Ji Fan found another boulder bunker and turned around to observe secretly.
