Chapter 37: Ancient Beasts

A few days later, the three of them passed all the way to the last barrier on the periphery, as long as they passed here, they would finally be the inner perimeter of the Phoenix Mountain Range.

But this last barrier is indeed a bit tricky.

Yexi frowned and looked at the big river under the cliff, the turquoise river reflected the green mountains, and the other side reflected the snow-capped inner mountains, which was also a beautiful scenery, but Yexi knew that this was only on the surface. The legend is that the mysterious and dangerous Phoenix Mountain Range is definitely more dangerous than that, even if it seems to be a calm river, it is definitely not to be taken lightly.

But if you want to enter the inner perimeter of the mountains, you have to cross this large river to reach the opposite bank. But the trouble is here, not to mention what is in the river, just look at the river and want to go ashore, it is difficult, only to see that the opposite side is like a cliff split by an axe. Climbing that cliff is very detrimental to them when there is a prohibition.

His mind was spinning rapidly, thinking of various ways, but Yexi turned his head and asked the person next to him: "Have you ever entered this inner circle?"

Ye Fengzhi frowned and shook his head: "No." ”

"Why don't we go to the lowest place and build a few rafts to run over?" Mu Yuchen suggested.

"No, we don't know what's in this river, usually such a big river is rough, but this river is calm and turquoise, and it is too dangerous to risk going on like this. Yexi vetoed it.

"What should I do then?" Mu Yuchen asked anxiously, "It's impossible not to cross the river, right?"

Yexi was looking at Jiang Shui and thinking carefully about what to do next, only to hear a flat voice behind him.

"Yo, just you yellow-haired girls and yellow-haired boys, you still want to enter the inner circle of the Phoenix Mountain Range, you might as well go back to breastfeeding!"

Yexi turned around and saw a big man walking towards him, carrying a large hammer on his shoulder, the head of which was similar to a mace, and the conical protrusions glowed with cold light. The inverted triangular eyes looked gloomily at the Yexi and the others, and the disdain and contempt on their faces were very obvious. And behind him was also a group of big men, all of whom were dressed in uniform and had a badge made of gold on their chests, with the word "Red Flame" on it, which looked like another mercenary group.

"Red Flame Corps!" Mu Yuchen's pupils contracted violently, obviously stimulated.

"Red Flame Corps!" Ye Fengzhi also exclaimed.

"Is there any problem?" Yexi's eyes darkened, and she knew that the group of people on the other side might not be good at it. Otherwise their attitude would not be so.

"Although the Red Flame Legion wears the badge of a mercenary group, its behavior is almost the same as that of a bandit. They always like to snatch other people's things, encounter mercenary groups that are weaker than themselves, and even intercept other people's tasks. Ye Fengzhi whispered, "It's their captain who speaks, Yan Lei, who is known as the "Nine-Headed Eagle", we are really unlucky to meet them. ”

"I didn't expect you boys to know about our Red Flame Corps, why, do you want to obediently hand over the things and that little beauty, or do we do it ourselves?" Yan Lei took a few steps forward, his eyes undisguised mockery. And the big men behind him were even more obscene with laughter, echoing Yan Lei's words casually.

Mu Yuchen and Ye Fengzhi were pale and furious, but they didn't dare to say anything, so they could only grit their teeth and be on guard.

"Okay, what are you talking about, I hired you here, but I didn't come to listen to nonsense. A cold voice came from the Red Flame Corps, and a man came out from behind, only to see him looking at Yan Lei expressionlessly, staring at him with a pair of bottomless eyes, exuding coldness all over his body.

"Yes, Childe said, we'll take you across the river. Yan Lei seemed to be a little afraid of this man, and instead of refuting him, he waved his mercenary and withdrew. He looked back at Yexi and the others, and his tone was still mocking, "It's your luck today, so I won't bother with you." ”

Seeing the group leave quickly, Mu Yuchen and Ye Feng's tense bodies couldn't help but ease down, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

Yexi couldn't help frowning as she looked in the direction they left, she didn't know if it was her delusion, she always felt that the cold man's eyes looking at them before leaving were a little meaningful.

"What should we do?" asked Mu Yuchen.

And so on. Yexi turned and looked at the river below, where they were at the highest point, and because there were cliffs everywhere, they could see the bottom of it in full view.

After thinking about it, Yexi said, "Do you have ropes and arrows and crossbows with you?"

"Brought it. Ye Fengzhi nodded, took out the rope and arrow crossbow from the space, and looked at Yexi thoughtfully, "Are you going to use it to climb over?"

"Yes, but we have to hurry, I have a hunch that the things in this river are coming out soon. Yexi knotted the rope and tried it, and it was about the thickness of an arm, and it was very heavy. Able to support people to climb.

Thinking about it, the movement in his hand did not stop, fixed the rope to an arrow, aimed at the thick trees on the opposite cliff, and prepared to shoot the arrow.

"This rope is too heavy, even if you use Xuan Li to assist, you can't see the specific location of the treetops on the opposite bank, how can you shoot?" Mu Yuchen said his worries.

However, this is only a minor problem for Yexi, who is a member of the 21st century special operations team, and shooting is a compulsory subject.

As a result, Ye Fengzhi and Mu Yuchen saw that Yexi was quick to get the arrow, aiming with one eye, and shooting the arrow! The whole process was clean and neat, and it didn't take more than a quarter of an hour before and after.

"Alright. Yexi tried to pull the rope hard to see if it was fixed. Then the rope at this end is fastened to a large and stout tree.

"I'll do it first. Mu Yuchen said, took a deep breath, and climbed with his hands and feet holding the rope. The wind was whistling in the valley, and Mu Yuchen's hands and feet were cold and numb in the middle of the way, so he eased down and continued to climb.

When Mu Yuchen landed safely, Yexi continued to go up again, and when she climbed to the half-center, she deliberately glanced down, and the group of people from the Red Flame Corps under the cliff had already built a raft and were pushing it into the water.

The river was still quiet, I don't know if it was a reflected mountain peak or something, it was a big black patch. After glancing at it, Yexi continued to climb, and after landing on the rope, Yexi noticed that the black in the original piece of water was moving, and the Red Flame Legion had rowed to the middle of the river.

The surface of the water suddenly rose and fell, and it was high and high, and Yexi soon realized that her guess was right, that it was something in the water that had been disturbed by the group of fools.

"Come on, the things in the water are about to start moving!" Ye Xi called Ye Fengzhi eagerly, staring at the water motionlessly.

And Ye Fengzhi subconsciously sped up. At this time, there was a sudden change in the surface of the water, like an explosive explosion, and a behemoth broke through the water. The rafts scattered and the crowd fell into the water.

I saw that it was as thick as a mountain, and the skin of its whole body was like a sharp hill, and its length was actually winding up from the bottom of the cliff, and when I saw its body clearly, it looked like a dragon but not a dragon, and its limbs were one less claw than a dragon, and there were "two dragon horns missing" on its head. Ye Xi suddenly squinted, with such momentum, so vicious, if you guessed correctly, this should be an ancient fierce beast, a demon!

Legend has it that the ancient beast was a one-man mount, that is, the ancestor of the demon clan, Shaojuan, and legend has it that she was the youngest and most capable person of the demon clan. The leader of the demon clan acted recklessly, disappeared for no reason after a war between humans and demons, and his mount did not know what to do, he never thought that he would appear in such a place today!

Yexi's whole body was tense, ready for battle, and he caught a glimpse of the leaf sealing on the rope, his head was running rapidly, thinking about the preparation for escaping, she was a martial king, and she wanted to face such an ancient beast, but I was afraid that it would not be enough to stuff her teeth.

There was a scream below, and the demon mane spiraled up, its huge head like a hill, blue eyes as big as a basketball, and vertical black pupils, deep and dark.

The demon man quietly looked at Yexi and Mu Yuchen, and at this time, Yexi didn't dare to move, and signaled with his eyes that Ye Fengzhi, who was still on the rope, could not move. The demon didn't move, still staring at Yexi quietly. After a long time, its head moved, getting closer and closer, Mu Yuchen's face was pale from the powerful coercion and anger, his legs and feet trembled, and he subconsciously took several steps back. Seeing that Yexi was still in place, he swallowed his saliva and stepped forward to stand in front of her.

The devil's mantle is getting closer and closer, and the gasping snort can also make people feel as if they are in a sea of fire, and the whole body is extremely hot. Nightshade secretly spun her hands and kept an eye on the devil's every move, forcing her to use summoning if necessary.

"Huh......" The devil snorted, blowing Mu Yuchen far away, rolling on the ground several times, but he did not suffer any substantial damage. Yexi looked at it, and only felt that there seemed to be something hidden in its eyes, but it seemed to have a veil that made her dimly unable to see clearly.

"Whew......" A beard with the thickness of Yexi's arm gently swept over her body, and finally gently stroked her face, like nostalgia, and finally it looked at her deeply and closed its eyes. When it opened its eyes again, it flew into the sky, and its majestic roar was heard in the clouds, but it disappeared for a moment......

"Roaring ......" was the roar of the devil in his ears, and Yexi quietly looked at the sky, his hand unconsciously caressing his cheek. She didn't know why, she didn't know where it came from just now, and she felt that it wouldn't hurt her, so she would stand there quietly, waiting for its action, and the fact was that it didn't hurt her.

It's just that last glance that made her feel unaware, and she actually saw nostalgia and ...... Refuse!

"Hmph. A muffled snort came, and Yexi came back to his senses, but he didn't see Ye Fengzhi's figure, and the rope that was originally between the cliffs was gone. She looked down the cliff and found that Ye Fengjiao was holding the rope close to the cliff, and his arm had rubbed out blood.

Calling back Mu Yuchen, who was still in the fugue, the two of them pulled the rope together and pulled Ye Fengzhi up. Ye Fengzhi struggled to climb up, and the three of them sat on the ground together panting. Yexi's heart finally fell back, and the last barrier was really thrilling.
