Chapter 2: The boy who walked out of the Yin Mountain
Yin Mountain is a mountain range in the north of the border city, stretching for hundreds of miles, it is said that behind Yin Mountain is the legendary land of Canglan, a piece of inaccessible demon paradise.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this rumor that Yinshan has become a frontier place for human beings to set foot.
Of course, for the people of the border city, Yinshan is their hometown for survival, perhaps because of the blessing of God, there is not much danger in Yinshan, but countless herbs grow.
But since thirteen years ago, as if God had stripped him of all kindness, everything has changed abruptly.
There are fewer and fewer medicinal herbs on Yin Mountain, and even if there are one or two, the aura contained in them is very weak. The beasts in the mountains also decreased sharply, and many of them died on the mountains for no reason. The beasts that survived also became more and more treacherous and powerful, far from being able to deal with ordinary hunters.
No one knew why, not even the powerful Border City Lord, who could not explain it all.
On the barren mountain path of Yin Mountain, two figures quietly touched the depths of Yin Mountain, Shi Yan walked in front, Xiao Yue'er followed behind with her skirt, although the little girl's face was pale, but there was a trace of determination in her eyes.
After all, Shi Yan couldn't screw this stubborn little girl, so he could only grit his teeth and take her with him, although even he didn't know if this decision was correct.
Walking for about a moment, Shi Yan, who originally looked a little vigilant, his face sank slightly.
"Stop, something is wrong!"
Shi Yan's eyes looked at the depths of Yin Mountain in disbelief. In the previous ten years, he had also stepped into Yin Mountain countless times, although he was lucky and did not have an accident, but almost every time he entered Yin Mountain, he could feel the strange and strange energy fluctuations coming from under his feet.
But today, that strange fluctuation has completely disappeared, and not only that, but the sense of oppression of the soul in the dark is gone.
What's going on?
"What's the matter, Uncle Yan?" the little girl's voice was a little nervous, and she took a few steps and grabbed the hem of Shi Yan's clothes.
Shi Yan suddenly squatted down, pressed one hand into a palm on the ground under his feet, the life lines on his forehead flashed, and a powerful spiritual aura began to spread from his body, covering a distance of hundreds of meters in an instant.
"It seems that something has happened, the strange fluctuations in the Yin Mountain have disappeared, and even the interference with the soul is gone, and there is ......" Shi Yan's eyes flashed suddenly, and he turned his head to look in a direction deep in the Yin Mountain.
"You stay here and don't move, I'll come when I go!"
Shi Yan's eyebrows were gathered together, and his feet moved directly towards the depths of Yin Mountain, Shi Yan was a strong man who opened the Eightfold Vein Gate and opened the Eightfold Vein Gate, and he was also counted in the entire border city. In just one stick of incense, it appeared on the belly of Yinshan Mountain across a distance of several miles, but in the next moment, Shi Yan's whole person was directly stunned in place.
"How so?
As far as the eye can see, there is a circular basin with a radius of several miles, the basin is almost dozens of zhang deep, and the ground at the bottom of the basin is dry and cracked into terrifying ravines, crisscrossing and crisscrossing.
Shi Yan swallowed his saliva, and the shock in his heart was indescribable. He knew that this was originally a dark red mountain lake, and it was also the most dangerous and mysterious place in the entire Yin Mountain. But now, the mountains and lakes that have scared the people of the entire border city for most of their lives have disappeared inexplicably?
What's going on here?
......
Xiao Yue'er squatted under a tree in the arms of a couple, staring at the dense Yinshan jungle with some nervousness.
Since she was a child, she had heard of the unusual nature of Yinshan, and she also knew that there were many people who walked into Yinshan and never came out, if it weren't for her father who went into the mountains to hunt for a whole day and didn't come back, she probably wouldn't have the courage to come here.
Now that my father has not been found, Uncle Yan is gone, and she is left as a little girl, who suddenly feels an extreme coldness and fear.
Roar......
A low roar seemed to come from the ground, Xiao Yue'er's face changed suddenly, in the depths of the jungle, she vaguely saw a pair of dark green eyes slowly dilated, and a moon-white wolf with a length of two meters slowly came out of the shadows and stopped more than ten meters away from her.
Didn't my father say that the beasts in Yinshan are getting older and fewer, how could he be so unlucky?
Xiao Yue'er leaned against the tree and didn't dare to move, her hands clutched the hem of her skirt, and her long eyelashes trembled violently.
What should I do? Will it eat itself? What about Uncle Yan? Why hasn't he come back yet?
Xiao Yue'er swallowed hard, and her afterglow swept to the depths of the Yinshan jungle, and her face suddenly became full of surprise.
As far as the eye could see, a young man in a dark red robe walked barefoot in the forest, his eyes were sometimes clear and sometimes scattered, and he didn't seem to notice the confrontation between a man and a wolf not far away, so he came silently between a man and a wolf.
"Be careful!" Xiao Yue'er couldn't help but scream, resisting her fear and running over to grab the young man's sleeve, blocking the young man behind her, and then holding her small fist in front of her, and waving her fist at the blue wolf.
"Go away, go away, don't eat us, Uncle Yan will beat you, go quickly......"
The boy turned his head and looked at the thin girl in front of him, and his eyes became a little strange. In his long memory, few people would rush to him to protect him. Not even a few people dared to appear beside him.
I don't know why, the girl's thin figure actually made the boy feel a different sense of security.
A very awkward sense of security.
The young man raised his head and swept towards the blue wolf in the distance, no, to be precise, it should be the spirit beast Bai Li.
There are naturally spirit beasts in Yin Mountain, and there are even a lot of them, but they generally appear in the depths of Yin Mountain near Canglan, like the location near the border city in front of you, there are generally no spirit beasts, not to mention Bai Li, which is quite famous among the spirit beasts.
Was it a coincidence, or was it attracted by something?
Bai Li stared at the barefoot boy, the halo in the dark green pupils flickered, and the white spiritual light mist was swallowed out of the open mouth, and the thorns under his feet quickly froze in the mist. The moon-white hair slowly stood up one by one, the qi machine climbed, and the aura within dozens of zhang around the body seemed to be pulled by a force, and it was rapidly converging towards Bai Cistan.
The young man also stared at Bai Li, and a pair of eyes that seemed to be a secluded pool reflected a sarcophagus floating in the air. At the same time, the life pattern on the young man's eyebrows, like the third eye, flashed away, and the aura of heaven and earth that was rapidly gathering in the entire mountain forest was shattered as if it had been split by a sharp sword.
The white fur on the blue wolf, which had been squinting at its dark green eyes, slowly drooped down, and then began to retreat until it slowly turned around and disappeared into the depths of the jungle.
"Whew...... It's finally gone, it's scared to death......" The little girl patted her slightly bulging little chest and wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead.
"Little brother, how could you appear alone in the Yin Mountain, it is very dangerous here, what about your parents?" Xiao Yue'er asked with some concern.
The young man has a young face and a thin body, and he looks like he is only thirteen or fourteen years old, a little smaller than Xiao Yue'er.
Hearing Xiao Yue'er's question, the young man's face was slightly stunned.
"I didn't ...... No. ”
The young man opened his mouth, as if he was very uncomfortable with speaking, and spit out two syllables with great difficulty, Xiao Yue'er clenched her little fist, and a trace of pity flashed in her eyes.
"Wait for Uncle Yan to come back, I'll take you to the border city, it's safer there, there are no wild wolves, and there are many people like Uncle Yan who will protect us." The little girl thought that the young man's parents had encountered an accident in Yinshan, and hurriedly comforted.
The boy was silent for a moment, then hummed.
Perhaps because of the similar age, Xiao Yue'er pulled the boy to sit under the tree, and asked the boy about the situation one by one, and the boy had almost no other emotions and words except for humming and nodding.
Almost an hour later, the young man suddenly raised his head with a feeling, only to see a middle-aged man falling from the treetops in the jungle deep in Yin Mountain, staring at the young man beside Xiao Yue'er with vigilant eyes.
"Boy, what are you!"
