Chapter 142: Through the Mountains and Against the Current

Ruolan and Fu Bo advanced very fast, although this place was already outside the map of the imperial official system, there were still some paths walked by hunters and herb pickers, and the eight of them used their own skills to quickly enter the range of the Snow Misty Mountain along these mountain paths.

"Sister Ruolan, this time, in addition to us, are there several forces that have organized teams to explore this cave?"

Taking advantage of Fu Bo leading the way at the front of the team, Li Mu lightly jumped to Ruolan's side and asked.

"That's right, the news about this cave mansion has been circulating in Huiyue City for a long time, attracting a lot of forces who want to participate in it, but because it is only a cave mansion for beginner monks in the Infinite Realm, most of the teams sent by top families and sects are mainly children of the younger generation. ”

Seeing Li Mu asking, Ruolan naturally knew everything, and explained the ins and outs of this treasure exploration operation to Li Mu one by one.

"If it weren't for the fact that the Lord of this Cave Mansion is an extremely rare insect master, we Jinfuxuan would not necessarily organize this team, but there are also two young disciples sent by those top forces that we need to pay attention to, one is Nalan Xue from the Thousand Illusion Sect, and the other is Lin Dong of the Lin family of Huiyue City. ”

Ruolan has been in Jinfuxuan in Huiyue City for a long time, so she naturally knows the situation of the nearby families and sects very well, and casually pointed out the most threatening opponent in this Dongfu treasure hunting operation.

"This Nalan Xue is the most dazzling genius of the Thousand Illusion Sect in the past hundred years, at the age of twenty-two, he has already cultivated to the consummation of the Formation Dan Realm, and he has cultivated to the level of a hundred generations in one hand, and he is the only disciple of the Thousand Illusion Sect who has hoped to cultivate to the level of a thousand generations for hundreds of years. ”

"And Lin Dong, as the son-in-law of the Lin family, the top family in Huiyue City, has been deeply loved by the ancestors of the Lin family since he was a child, and has been personally taught by this strong man who has crossed the Tribulation Realm, and his strength is also very strong, he is twenty-three years old this year, and he has also cultivated to the consummation of the Dan Realm. ”

"The Thousand Illusion Sect and the Lin family have also sent elders with the strength of the Infant Realm to escort these two Rising Stars, and these are only the forces that openly declare that they want to participate in this Cave Mansion Treasure Hunt, and secretly there must be other sect families, and even powerful scattered cultivators to compete for it, so our action this time is not easy. ”

Ruolan's words gave Li Mu a new understanding of the strength of the younger generation near Huiyue City, and during this time, his cultivation and combat effectiveness had improved by leaps and bounds, and he couldn't help but feel a little complacent, but when he heard that these really top young talents had already entered the consummation level of the Yudan Realm, he suddenly felt the gap.

"This Nalan Xue and Lin Dong are so talented, but they are still inferior to Sister Ruolan, it seems that the title of the first person of the younger generation in Huiyue City still belongs to Sister Ruolan. ”

Hearing Li Mu's praise, Ruolan gave him a "little slippery" look, but his heart was still quite useful, although he was busy with Jinfuxuan's affairs over the years, his cultivation has not fallen, and he has steadily suppressed Nalan Xue and Lin Dong.

Knowing the gap in cultivation, Li Mu is still full of confidence, he is not yet nineteen years old, more than three years younger than Ruolan, with the help of the simulation system and his own efforts, he is confident that he can catch up with these top geniuses, or even surpass them.

Coming back from the dead, crossing over, and being fortunate enough to get the simulation system, and finally began to really cultivate immortals, along the way, Li Mu has never lost the confidence that he will eventually be able to reach the pinnacle, and for him, this new world has already had too much unbearable to give up, compared to the loneliness and loneliness of the previous life, this fairy world has brought Li Mu countless warmth and touch.

Perhaps, this is where I really belong.

This is the words that have been lingering in Li Mu's mind, people are emotional animals, if Li Mu has been thinking about how to go back at the beginning of the crossing, then now, he is more willing to live in this warm fairy world.

Before they knew it, the group had been walking in the mountains for about three hours.

It is full of high mountains and deep valleys, lonely, heavy mountains and forests, rugged mountain paths along the way, circling and twisting, and soon the path also came to an end, and a primitive mountain village appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"I didn't expect there to be a mountain village in the middle of this mountain, but this should be the place where people will live in the end, and even the mountain road ends here. ”

Since there was a foothold, Ruolan did not let everyone continue to hurry, but led everyone into this small village one after the other with Fu Bo, preparing to ask the locals in the village about the route over the Snow Misty Mountain.

This is already at the foot of the Snow Mist Mountain, and if you look north through the naked eye, you can see that the highest mountain reaches straight into the sky, and both sides are full of steep cliffs, undulating and stacked mountains, and from the mountainside, it is a white expanse, and it is impossible to tell whether it is snow or white clouds.

This white mist mountain is really like its name, the clouds and mist are shrouded, and the layers are distinct, the place where the mountainside is not enough begins to have wisps of green smoke and mist, the higher the mountain, the white clouds are even thicker, the whole mountain peak is wrapped, the white mountain forest sea, people can't help but sigh the magic of nature.

According to the information already known, the cave of this insect master is located on the other side of the Snow Misty Mountain, so if you want to reach the destination, it is an inevitable choice to climb over this high mountain, but no one knows the specific route, and the forces of all parties can only cross the sea with eight immortals, each showing their magical powers.

The village is very small, and there are only three families living in it, all of whom are ordinary civilians who hunt and make a living in the mountains all year round, and over time a small village has been built here, and at this point in time, the men of the family are still in the mountains, and only a few women and two or three and a half big dolls remain in the village.

"You want to climb the snowy and misty mountains? Where does this make such a high mountain man not have to freeze to death if he goes up. ”

Ruolan found a woman in the village, but learned that they only lived at the foot of the Snow Misty Mountain, and according to the woman, there were indeed people who had gone to the Snow Misty Mountain in the early years to pick herbs, but these old people were long gone.

In recent years, with the establishment of the imperial trade route, the people of this small mountain village have gradually become accustomed to going out to make a living, and most of those who stay in the village are mainly hunting, and no one is willing to risk their lives to go up the mountain to collect medicine.

Originally, Ruolan thought that it would be best to find a guide to lead everyone over the Snowy Misty Mountain, and the teams of other forces generally set off a few days ago, and now it is very likely that they have already gone to this Snowy Misty Mountain, although the treasure hunt in the cave is not said to have been able to seize the opportunity a long time ago, but Ruolan still hopes to speed up the pace, so that there will be enough time to prepare when the cave is born in the future.

"Going through the mountains and going against the current, going through the mountains and going against the current...... , could it be that this snowy mountain is being said?"

Just when Ruolan regretted that she couldn't find the guide, Li Mu suddenly remembered the hexagram that the mysterious fortune teller told her, the first of which was this "crossing the mountains and going against the current".

"Is there only one way up the mountain to get through this snowy mountain? Is there a way to get through the mountain, such as a tunnel or something?"

Li Mu's sudden question stunned Ruolan and Fu Bo, who had been negotiating with the woman, and Hua Aotian, who was sitting on the side, directly sneered, with an expression of "idiot, this kind of question can also be asked".

"You say so, when I was a child, I did hear the old people in the village say that there is a secret passage under the Xuewu Mountain, and the river passes through the mountain through this tunnel, and at that time I heard that someone really took a bamboo raft against the current to cross the mountain, and I remember that the location should not be far from here. ”

But what everyone didn't expect was that this woman really confirmed that there was a way to turn over without going up the mountain, and Li Mu's words became a lesson, which made Hua Aotian, who still wanted to open his mouth to squeeze Li Mu, hold his breath in his stomach, which was more uncomfortable than anything else.

"Great, in this case, it is very likely that we will arrive at the cave mansion earlier than the other forces, by the way, Li Mu, how do you know that there will be a tunnel?"

The discovery of the tunnel under the mountain made Ruolan happy, and a delicate face showed a breathtaking smile, which made Li Mudu dizzy for a while, not to mention that Hua Aotian, who felt that the nosebleed was about to come out.

"Haha, Sister Ruolan, coincidence, coincidence, I just had an idea, I thought of this, I didn't expect that there really was such a tunnel. ”

Li Mu naturally didn't tell the fortune teller about it, just casually perfunctory, and Ruolan, who was smart about ice and snow, naturally didn't ask, since the problem of going over the mountain was solved, everyone didn't stop anymore, and after asking the woman about the general direction of the tunnel entrance, they set off on the road again.
