Chapter 46: Get Rid of It
In the dead silence of the Hundred Tombs Mountain Range, Ji Fan, who was holding a hammer in one hand and a sword in the other, would be as if he was petrified if he didn't occasionally glance at the animal skin bag on his waist with the afterglow of his eyes.
The head and one of the paws of the little hedgehog were exposed to the animal skin bag, and a pair of small eyes were wide open, full of timid and frightened looks, and the nose kept sniffing.
Finding that the little hedgehog's claws were twisting slightly, Ji Fan knew that it was pointing in the direction of the four people.
"Didn't go straight this way, it looks like the four guys didn't keep up with the position locked on to me. Ji Fan looked at the direction in which the little hedgehog's claws were twisted, and felt that the four of them had gone astray in the fog.
Although Ji Fan realized that four people passed in front of him and walked to the right, he still did not let his guard down.
Just from the silent situation of the four people walking, Ji Fan felt that it was not comparable to him.
After a while, just as the little hedgehog signaled with his paws that the four of them had already walked away, Ji Fan took a deep breath before tiptoeing away.
People die for money, birds die for food, for the situation of the four monks holding together, if it is not a last resort, Ji Fan does not dare to fight the idea of the four.
"Can you still find a way out? I'm afraid we won't be able to get out of the Hundred Tombs Mountain Range today, and we will have to find a tomb to hide in for the night before dark." Ji Fan ran away and asked in a low voice.
The little hedgehog nodded with his head exposed, and pointed out the direction to Ji Fan with his paws.
When the thick fog darkened, the little hedgehog was still going well, and on the way to yesterday, he found a robbery hole in the tomb.
Ji Fan also had an impression of the thief cave in the square, and after being vigilant, he didn't find anything, he took a few steps deeper.
"The tomb is quite spacious, and when you want to be alive, you should have a certain strength!" Ji Fan had a lot of doubts about the Hundred Tombs Mountain Range.
The young man in the space portal before, why did he write a thousand corpses crookedly, regretting it, and he couldn't go through Ji Fan's mind all the time.
In Ji Fan's opinion, it should have been written by the young man before he died, and he didn't finish it, and there was no clear explanation.
But there are thousands of corpses walking at night in the Hundred Tombs Mountain Range, and Ji Fan has not heard of it in the Hundred Tombs City.
In two days, Ji Fan could feel the strangeness of the Hundred Tombs Mountain Range, it was silent, there was no wind, and it was lifeless, the gravel ground before entering the mountain was flat, no flowers and trees grew, and no beasts and monsters were found.
As for the gravel field, whether it was exactly like what Ji Fan had experienced, he couldn't be sure, after all, the fog obscured his perception and vision.
"Maybe that's the way I'm going, but it's different from other places, with undulating terrain and creatures, it's too weird after all, but no matter what, I can't explore it anymore. Ji Fan felt that the young man in the space portal should be a tomb robber, and it was also a lesson from the past.
At the thought of the young man's left chest being pierced by a sharp claw, Ji Fan shuddered.
The dead boy is not very old, even if he has some means, he does not look like a monk who is too powerful, especially the place where he is buried is still on the periphery of the Hundred Tombs Mountain Range, as if his identity is not enough to be buried in the mountain.
But what Ji Fan didn't understand was that including the tomb where he was now, could it be that the owner of the tomb buried himself by himself?
Ji Fan felt that at the level of a monk, if he wasn't cornered, he wouldn't have buried himself by himself, what kind of mentality did he have!
"For samsara, or for nirvana?"
Ji Fan thought about it secretly and felt that these two reasons were not enough to explain these tricks.
The most important point is that Ji Fan found that the body of the young man was stored in the space portal, which was not quite the same as the person buried in the ground.
Ji Fan knows that the tomb is actually very exquisite, in the same mountain range, the burial place will definitely be divided into priorities, and people are too smart, a few people will use the burial place that the predecessors said again, and the dove occupies the magpie's nest, in order to realize the long-term vision in his heart.
In this Hundred Tombs Mountain Range, even one of the Four Emperors, Emperor Ning, was buried, and he was only one of the strong people buried here, which shows how terrible it is.
"The young man's corpse was obviously killed, I don't know if these people buried in the ground will have any injuries on the corpses, if there are injuries, to a large extent, they didn't bury themselves, or they know that the time limit has come, and they can't go out of the Hundred Tombs Mountain Range!" Ji Fan was also quite surprised that the young man could open a small space alive when his left chest was pierced and his heart was lost.
The boy was injured like that, and he could still escape, Ji Fan guessed that it was unlikely under normal circumstances, but he could not rule out that the boy had some strange means.
From taking away the young man's petrified left eye, the corpse could not be maintained, and Ji Fan could see that the young man had a certain background to support his life.
What made Ji Fan mind was whether the Ten Demon Dao knew about the situation of the Hundred Tombs Mountain Range such as the Night Walk of the Thousand Corpses, and if so, why did he arrange a large number of disciples to try, this seemed to be more than just a matter of experience.
Although it was only two days after entering the Hundred Tombs Mountain Range, Ji Fan realized through certain discoveries that he had underestimated the Hundred Tombs Mountain Range, and all kinds of inexplicable doubts made him fear from the bottom of his heart.
The night was spent in Ji Fan's uneasy and chaotic thoughts.
Early the next morning, there was a faint light outside the tomb, and Ji Fan, who was estimating the time, asked the little hedgehog to smell the outside breath at the entrance of the tomb, and made sure that the four monks were not nearby, so he jumped out lightly.
"I didn't get cultivation resources this time!"
Ji Fan waited until after dawn before he dared to speak to the little hedgehog.
"Yo~~~"
The little hedgehog snorted, also looking a little discouraged.
The Ten Demon Dao disciples Dabi and the trial of entering the Hundred Tombs Mountain Range are imminent, the situation inside and outside the Hundred Tombs Mountain Range is complicated, Ji Fan has already made up his mind not to return to the Hundred Tombs City, if he can go out of the Hundred Tombs Mountain Range this time, he will first take a detour to find a remote mountain peak to settle down.
"The map path to the Xuanyin Sect safely should be to detour to the southwest of the Hundred Tombs Mountain Range, and it must be the most crowded!" Ji Fan thought about whether to find another way and go from the southeast.
It will be very risky to detour from the southeast of the Hundred Tombs Mountain Range, and there are even many places in the Ten Thousand Mountains that monks cannot set foot in, and they have never been explored, and the life peak of the Life and Death Peak of the Ganlu Mountain Range is close to Ji Fan has seen.
After thinking about it, Ji Fan decided to try to go to the southeast with the little hedgehog, he mainly wanted to find a remote place where no one was around, and digest what he had gained along the way.
Before this, Ji Fan even thought about trying to find a medicine boy errand in Danxia Town, so as to practice his skills on the Dan Road, but the current situation inside and outside the Hundred Tombs Mountain Range was not suitable for him to stay.
With a little hedgehog along the way, Ji Fan didn't dare to make a movement when he walked, he seemed extremely cautious, but secretly quite tired.
The body is already very heavy, and the domination of consciousness is a burden, and when he walks on the gravel, he tries not to make a sound, and it is very difficult for Ji Fan to keep lifting his qi and lightening his body, and the tension will also accelerate fatigue.
Ji Fan didn't dare to sleep for a long time, he was already very tired, as if he relied on his hard work, even if because of the cultivation of the Strange Washing Trick Diagram, his strong body could not be seen on the surface, his state was not really good.
"If nothing else, it's almost past noon, and you'll be able to walk out of the Hundred Tombs Mountain Range. Ji Fan's feeling comes more from the estimation of walking time.
However, Duan can be said to be afraid of something, and when it was about noon, the two small claws of the little hedgehog actually pulled out the animal skin bag.
"There is an enemy!"
Finding the little hedgehog's movements, Ji Fan's instinctive reaction was to stop and listen with bated breath.
There was no movement in the dense fog of silence around him, but yesterday he knew that the four monks were walking silently, but Ji Fan did not dare to be careless.
"You can almost go out after a walk, do you want to stay here for another night!" Ji Fan was afraid of being ambushed, and he was even more worried that someone would come over and touch him.
Especially Ji Fan, who felt that there was hope in the Hundred Tombs Mountain Range, and had been standing still and not daring to make a sound, was secretly anxious in his heart.
The little hedgehog's head showed the animal skin bag, and he kept sniffing, and after a while, he used his paws to point in the direction, which was the route that Ji Fan had walked towards the outside of the Hundred Tombs Mountain Range before.
"Is it the four people from yesterday?"
Finding the claws of the little hedgehog, shrugged one by one, Ji Fan squatted down, and asked it in a voice like a mosquito.
The little hedgehog shook his head and nodded again, I don't know if it was affected by the fog, and the sensing was not very accurate.
"Squeak!"
Probed his claws, and when he saw that Ji Fan was not moving, the little hedgehog made a sound, which made him startled, and he hurriedly poured out his right hand holding the sword to cover the little hedgehog's mouth.
"Quietly, how many people are there?"
Ji Fan felt that the little hedgehog's behavior seemed to be unusual.
"One?"
Seeing the number of the little hedgehog signaling with his little paws, Ji Fan's throat squirmed and made a movement to swallow saliva, but his mouth was dry.
In just a short period of time, Ji Fan thought of many possibilities, coupled with the relationship with the little hedgehog, he got up and walked in the direction indicated by the little hedgehog.
"It's not a way to stalemate all the time, not to mention that it may increase at night, even if the Ten Demon Dao hasn't entered the Hundred Tombs Mountain Range, there will be people from other forces who will come in ahead of time. Ji Fan tightened the iron hammer and long sword in his hands, and secretly prepared for battle.
Although Ji Fan was afraid of the monks who entered the Hundred Tombs Mountain Range, compared to the strange and uncertain dangers of the Hundred Tombs Mountain Range, he had to get out anyway.
"Squeak!"
Ji Fan walked softly, and the little hedgehog seemed to feel something, and actually called for him to continue moving forward.
Ji Fan, who was steady, protected his chest with a fine iron hammer, and held the long sword back, which made it easier to speed up the reaction.
Cautiously walked for a while, and just when Ji Fan didn't notice anything, the little hedgehog's claws pointed to the ground in front of him.
Ji Fan, who didn't touch the enemy, obviously guessed something in his consciousness, and his body was agitated.
"Is it buried in the ground?"
Although Ji Fan walked forward, he paid attention to his surroundings.
In Ji Fan's mind, if someone was ambushing around the tomb, he should not be able to escape the little hedgehog's keen perception.
