Night, silently descending between the mountains and wilderness, a radius of 100 miles, as far as the eye can see, there is nothing but dense trees, except for the continuous cry of the demon beast in the distance, there is no other sound in the forest, the air reveals a unique smell of Xizhou, I can't tell what the smell is, neither like the fragrance of grass and trees, nor like the mellow breath of the earth, light as glass but can not be ignored.

Xie Qingning spewed out a small fireball from his palm and ignited the firewood pile set up in front of him, while looking up at Gao Zhi, who was sitting opposite and cleaning up wild things, "You said before that if we pass through this forest, we can enter the range of Cangyu Mountain, and if we cross Cangyu Mountain, we can enter the boundary of Chaoyang City, right?" ”

Gao Zhi's fingers stiffened slightly, looked back at the unfathomable dense forest, and persuaded, "Miss Seven, we'd better bypass this forest and take the official road, although the distance is a lot farther, but there is no danger, there are not only miasma and swamps in Cangyu Mountain, but also a large number of demon beasts and strange beasts, I'm afraid it's not easy to walk." ”

"We came out to be experienced, if we all take the official road, won't we change our original intention?" Xie Qingning smiled and walked over disapprovingly, helping him clean up the few wild animals he had just hunted.

Not far away, except for the zither and the smoke and rain are using the water to clean the wild things that Gao Zhi has just plucked, there is no trace of others, Xie Huazhao and the others have gone out to hunt, after all, Xie Qingning has discussed with them in the afternoon, everyone has decided to cross Cangyu Mountain, one can shorten the distance, and the other wants to meet the strange beasts in the mountain, while increasing their knowledge, they may also encounter some rare and exotic grasses.

Experience and experience, it is not to go out to enjoy the blessings, so although Gao Zhi and others know that there are many crises in Cangyu Mountain, they do not blindly dissuade them, but they are difficult to hide their worries between their eyebrows, after all, they are all from Xizhou, even if they have never been to Cangyu Mountain, they have heard of the horror of this place from many people.

Half an hour later, Xie Huazhao and the others returned to the camp one after another, and tonight they caught a lot of wild things, not only six hares, four pheasants, but also two pheasants and a rare golden raccoon.

"Can I eat this?" Lan Zhihua looked at the dying golden retriever, smelled the fishy smell on its body, and asked with his nose covered.

"Born with everything, you can eat anything naturally, it just depends on whether you dare to eat it." Xie Huazhao smiled a little proudly, Lan Zhihua didn't understand what he meant, and the black light flashed in front of him, but it was he who threw the golden raccoon that was tied up and sturdy towards the door in front of her, so frightened that she screamed and flew back, staggering for a long time to stand firm, and almost fell into the fire.

Lan Zhihua's face turned slightly pale, and he said angrily, "Xie Huazhao, you ......." ”

Xie Huazhao deliberately grimaced at her, and disapprovingly brought up the golden retriever to Gao Zhi to deal with it, so angry that Lan Zhihua could only stomp his feet on the spot, but he was helpless.

For his prank, although Lan Zhihua was angry, he was reluctant to attack, but he was caught in the eyes of Xie Qingning next to him, and it was inevitable that he felt a little unworthy for her.

But what Xie Huazhao said yesterday floated in her ears, and she felt that the matter between the two of them should still be solved by themselves, and outsiders would only help more and more.

Xie Huazhao thought well, instead of avoiding Lan Zhihua, it was better to take the initiative and let her understand her stubbornness and unmotivated temperament as soon as possible, maybe she would let go of the obsession in her heart, and that would be a great joy for everyone.

However, after all, he despised the infatuation of women, the so-called constant cutting, and the reason was messy, talking about the things between men and women, and how many people in the world could really sort it out.

It didn't take long for the fragrance of the roasted wild things to float into the air, attracting countless small beasts nearby to watch, and the few cries of demon beasts from time to time at night seemed to be a little clearer.

The several guards brought by Xie Tan were a little apprehensive when they heard these screams, the beast tide they experienced last time had a thick shadow in their hearts, and it was not so easy to forget for a while, after all, they were just ordinary people, even if they had martial arts, they didn't have spiritual power to protect their bodies, and they still couldn't be compared with monks after all.

"I have some pills here, which are resistant to miasma, but the effect of each pill can only last for one day, and if it is distributed according to the quantity, I am afraid it can only last for five days at most, so we must cross Cangyu Mountain within five days, do you understand?" Xie Qingning took advantage of the fact that everyone was sharing the game, and distributed the pills to prevent miasma one by one, and everyone carefully put them in their arms, only the four guards were quite restless, and their faces were even paler.

Seeing the fear in their hearts, Xie Qingning thought for a while, turned his gaze to Gu Yiming, the eldest of the four, and said, "Brother Gu, there are many crises in Cangyu Mountain, you are not monks after all, why don't you take your brothers and take the carriage to the official road, we will meet in Chaoyang City, you just make marks along the way." Luckily? ”

Hearing this, the four guards were overjoyed, they knew that they couldn't help much, and they might become a drag on everyone, of course, they were willing to take the regular official road to avoid the crises in Cangyu Mountain.

"Just do what Miss Seven said, let's go to Chaoyang City to find out the news first, and wait for your triumphant return." Gu Yiming immediately put away the miasma pill that the four of them had just distributed and returned it to Xie Qingning, in this way, she still had surplus food available in her hand, and she could also deal with emergencies, so she did not refuse.

Gao Zhi thought for a while before saying, "Seventh Miss, although the four of us have never been to Cangyu Mountain, we have heard Master mention it here, there are not only many miasma and swamps in the mountain, but also the existence of unimaginable strange beasts, it is a terrifying forbidden land. Within Xizhou, except for the slightly famous immortal cultivators and immortal disciples who will go into the mountains from time to time to experience or search for rare and exotic grasses, few people dare to step into the mountains, I think we should be careful. ”

"Then did Lord Song Zhuang mention what kind of strange beasts he had seen? Let's listen and prepare. Lan Yongzhi, who doesn't like to talk much, listened with a slightly condensed expression and couldn't help asking.

Although Gao Zhi is not familiar with them, through today's observations, he can find that although Xie Qingning calls Xie Huazhao "third brother", he only has affinity and no respect in his speech, but when he talks to this silent and introverted Lan Gongzi, his expression will be much more solemn, obviously he regards him as a friend and comrade-in-arms.

Therefore, Gao Zhizhi's attitude towards Lan Yongzhi was also a little more humble, "Master only mentioned two kinds of strange beasts, one is a poisonous bat, and the other is a poisonous snake that can speak human words. ”

"A viper who can speak human language?" Lan Zhihua shuddered when he heard this, and asked without any appetite for a moment, "How can a snake speak human language?" Will it talk like us? ”

Zeng Muye, the third disciple of "Yunshui Villa", couldn't help laughing and said, "Naturally it's impossible, it's just that the snake knows how to imitate the cry of a baby and the laughter of a woman, which is unguardable and very weird." ”

At this point, not only did Lan Zhihua turn pale with fright, but even the zither and Yanyu lost their appetite, and they were quite apprehensive.
