Chapter 98: Hungry They Beg for Mercy
Qu Fengyang saw Mu Shao and his party behind him, and he was a little panicked in his heart, but fortunately, they just wanted to go together, so he put his heart back in his stomach.
At nine o'clock in the morning, everyone had come to a mountainous area. It has reached the foot of the "Big Stone Gate" mountain.
The "Great Stone Gate" is actually a gap formed between two high mountains. It is also the only way to get to the Valley of the Dead.
Stepping through the big stone gate, it is already within the range of the Valley of the Dead.
The Valley of the Dead was originally called "Wanqing Valley", and the trees here are verdant and green all year round. It's a great place to play. However, because many tourists died in it for no reason, the name of the Valley of the Dead spread.
Later, as the death toll skyrocketed each year, the name became more and more famous, and only some expeditions entered it.
The terrain was no longer suitable for driving, so the group put the convoy under the supervision of one of Leung's men, while the rest of the group traveled lightly and planned to go to the Valley of the Dead on foot.
Along the way, I met a lot of mountain people, and when I asked for directions, after learning that everyone was going to the "Valley of the Dead", all the mountain people's faces changed sharply, and warned everyone not to enter the valley rashly.
It is said that there are monsters rampant in the valley.
When Mu Shao heard this, his face turned pale with fright, and with Mr. Gu in charge, Liang Jiaqi, a big beauty, seemed much calmer.
She chuckled.
"Cut, youkai? What age is this, and what are the ghosts and gods? ”
Seeing Liang Jiaqi so brave, Mu Shao gradually calmed down, and later encountered some mountain people to dissuade him, Mu Shao and the others laughed wildly and wantonly.
"Where are the youkai? It's all! ”
Only Qu Fengyang looked dignified all the way.
When a few people were resting on the way, Qu Fengyang pulled Ye Cangtian aside and said.
"Ye Tianshi, this group of people shouldn't want to go to the 'Fire Wind Forest' in the Valley of the Dead, right?"
"Oh? What is this place? ”
"I won't tell you the truth, that Fire Wind Forest is a forbidden place that our sect is strictly forbidden to go to! According to the ancient records of the sect, there are countless strange flowers and plants in the Fire Wind Forest, but there are big demons. Even the Heavenly Masters of my Yin Wind Sect didn't dare to go rashly. If this group of people does go to the Fire Wind Forest, let's slip away as soon as possible. ”
Ye Cangtian laughed and laughed.
"It doesn't matter."
Seeing Ye Cangtian's unapproving appearance, Qu Fengyang's face became even more ugly.
But who made himself willing to worship Ye Cangtian as a teacher?
Now that Ye Tianshi has spoken, Qu Fengyang can only lead the way.
After another hour, when everyone was resting, sure enough, Mr. Gu came to Qu Fengyang and informed them of the destination of their trip.
It's really a fire wind forest!
When Qu Fengyang heard the news, he could only shake his head and smile bitterly, and secretly prayed for a smooth trip.
After lunch, the crowd began to enter the mountain.
Before Qu Fengyang entered the mountain, he confirmed again.
"Master Ye Tianshi, are we really going to enter the mountain?"
"Hmm."
Ye Cangtian nodded lightly.
The purpose of this trip to Liang Jiaqi and the others was already very clear, they were definitely going for the rumored "strange flowers and plants" in the Fire Wind Forest.
But Ye Cangtian had other plans!
Since he learned that Qu Fengyang's sect had "black crystals", he consulted the ancient books again.
His master passed on his ancient books and recorded in detail the origin of black crystal. This black crystal is born in the fire forest and is quenched at high temperatures!
Therefore, Ye Cangtian judged that the black crystal of the Yin Wind Sect where Qu Fengyang was located was obtained from this Fire Wind Forest. In the Firewind Forest, you might be able to find a black crystal mine!
If this mine is found, Ye Cangtian will really develop this time!
He had calculated that judging from the amount of aura stored in black crystals, a hundred black crystals would be enough for him to break through from the Divine Sea Realm to the Innate Stage!
The innate period is the beginning, and it can be regarded as truly stepping into the path of cultivating immortals!
Because, only by stepping into the innate stage can you master the real supernatural powers! The biggest difference between cultivators and mortals is "supernatural powers"!
In the Shenhai Period, he is more energetic than ordinary martial artists, and his physical body is a little stronger.
However, once you step into the innate stage and can master the supernatural powers, you will be a god-like person who "turns the clouds and rains and scatters beans into soldiers"!
Thinking of this, Ye Cangtian's eyes lit up, and the pace under his feet became faster.
According to Qu Fengyang, if you want to go to the Fire Wind Forest, there are still two to three days away, and there are bodyguards brought by Liang Jiaqi and domestic servants accompanied by Mu Shao along the way, so there is no need to worry about survival in the wild.
Whether it's three meals or a tent, it's all properly arranged.
When night fell, everyone stopped their journey, only to see tents being set up one by one, and after setting up a bonfire, they began to take out the food they were carrying and cook. Plus a few wild survival masters to catch the game, and dinner will be ready in a few moments.
The aroma of game is overflowing, and a sip of mushroom soup in the humid mountains is simply not too refreshing.
After the dinner was ready, Liang Jiaqi, Mr. Gu, Mu Shao and others were given priority to share the food, followed by a group of entourage.
Qu Fengyang on the side looked at the direct drool.
Liang Jiaqi saw Qu Fengyang's appearance from a distance, so he threw an olive branch and said.
"Master Qu, you're hungry, let's get something to eat."
Qu Fengyang had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and when he heard Liang Jiaqi calling himself, he hurriedly took Ye Cangtian over to eat.
Who knew that Liang Jiaqi sneered.
"Master Qu, my name is you, not this apprentice of yours. Isn't he dragging it? Just let him go hungry. ”
Suddenly, bursts of laughter erupted in the surroundings.
Liang Jiaqi finally caught the opportunity to take revenge on Ye Cangtian.
I saw Qu Fengyang showing a difficult color. How could he dare to leave Ye Cangtian behind and eat?
So Qu Fengyang was just about to open his mouth to intercede for Ye Cangtian, when he heard Liang Jiaqi sneer.
"I'm sorry, Master Qu, we don't have enough food. If you have to think about your apprentice, then you will have to go hungry with him. ”
The tangled look on Qu Fengyang's face became a little heavier. He clearly saw that Liang Jiaqi's group brought enough food to eat for a week, which clearly showed that they wanted to make the whole leaf sky!
In the end, Qu Fengyang gritted his teeth and returned to Ye Cangtian's side.
Ye Cangtian asked lightly.
"Why don't you go over and take a bite?"
Qu Fengyang swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"Master Ye, since I chose to defect to you, I wouldn't do such a thing. Qu is willing to share the glory and disgrace with Ye Tianshi. ”
Ye Cangtian suddenly showed a faint smile on his face.
"Very well, you passed my test. From now on, I allow you to be my apprentice. ”
When Qu Fengyang heard this, he was overjoyed!
He didn't expect that his choice would be exchanged for such a big benefit! Worship under Ye Cangtian's door, that is the result of his dream!
I saw Qu Fengyang hurriedly kneeling down and saluting.
But I heard Ye Cangtian say casually.
"Let these false gifts be forgiven. But to be my apprentice, you must remember that you must not betray me. Otherwise, you will flee to the ends of the earth, and I will not let you go. ”
Qu Fengyang's expression was awe-inspiring, and he said continuously.
"I don't dare."
"Alright, get up." Ye Cangtian sat cross-legged on a big rock, his breath ethereal like an immortal.
When Qu Fengyang got up, Ye Cangtian flicked his fingers, and he hurriedly reached out to block it, only to see a pill appear in his hand.
"What is this?" Qu Fengyang looked at the pill in his hand, and his mood was agitated! This turned out to be a genuine elixir?
"Take it. It can give you a full glow for two days without eating. ”
Qu Fengyang is so happy!
Unexpectedly, I made the most correct choice by mistake! With Ye Cangtian, there are still such huge benefits!
You know, this pill is worth a thousand gold outside, Ye Cangtian casually gave him a pill.
Qu Fengyang hurriedly swallowed it, and in an instant, a warm current hit his whole body, and the hunger in his stomach disappeared.
This elixir is truly amazing!
Liang Jiaqi also planned to see Ye Cangtian's miserable condition, it was best that guy could come over and beg him, maybe she would reward him with some food if she was in a good mood.
But when she turned her head to look at Ye Cangtian and Qu Fengyang, the whole person was shocked.
"What are those two guys doing? Are they not hungry? ”
At this time, Ye Cangtian and Qu Fengyang sat cross-legged on the side, looking very strange.
"Cut, just pretend. They must be resting. Still pretending to be hard in front of us? See how long they can carry it. Tomorrow that kid will have to beg us! Mu Shao said disdainfully while eating meat.
Everyone laughed at Ye Cangtian and Qu Fengyang's strange behavior.
Only Mr. Gu frowned, these two were obviously practicing some kind of exercise, and he vaguely smelled the smell of danxiang just now.
However, he quickly dispelled this thought, how precious the elixir was, how could he see it casually.
After dinner, everyone rested after a short time.
The next morning, when everyone woke up, they found that the two were actually maintaining that posture, and Liang Jiaqi had a strange look on her face, and it was the first time she had encountered such a strange person.
When everyone was about to leave, Ye Cangtian and Qu Fengyang got up.
Qu Fengyang was very excited last night. He has been practicing for so many years, and it is the first time that he has such a refreshing feeling, especially according to Ye Cangtian's method of cultivation, Qu Fengyang feels that he has inexhaustible strength in his body.
This made Qu Fengyang's heart to follow Ye Cangtian even firmer.
'Master is really powerful, as long as I follow his practice, sooner or later I will be able to enter the Tao!' ’
Practicing overnight is simply a great improvement for him compared to the past five years, which makes him not excited.
Today, the people began to walk towards the mountains. Due to the large number of bodyguards, even if they knew that the destination was the Valley of the Dead, everyone did not feel nervous at all, but had a feeling of going out to play.
A whole day passed, and the situation that Liang Jiaqi and Mu Shao expected Ye Cangtian to give in did not appear.
They also began to be curious, how did Ye Cangtian and Qu Fengyang persist without eating or drinking?
However, the vegetation here is luxuriant, and perhaps while they are not paying attention, the master and apprentice may be able to pick wild fruits to satisfy their hunger.
Two days later, they finally arrived at the legendary Fire Wind Forest.
As far as the eye can see, in a valley in front of me, a dense forest of fiery red leaves comes into view. This vegetation is very similar to the maple tree, but it is very different, the leaves are very similar in color to the maple tree, and the trees are straight and tall when you look closely.
Especially when viewed from a high vantage point, it looks like a sea of fire has appeared on the ground.
According to Qu Fengyang's description, this is the case here all year round, and the leaves grow luxuriantly all year round.
Of course, in addition to that, only Ye Cangtian felt a surge of heat coming from the depths of the dense forest.
He looked far away, and assumed that it might be the destination of this journey.
At this moment, there was a fierce fight in that direction.
"Let's go, go over and have a look!"
Seeing this, Mr. Gu raised his arms and led everyone towards the depths of the dense forest.
