Volume 2, Xuanhai Immortal Mountain_Chapter 64, Enter Xuanhai
"What kind of poison is your arrow in?"
Iron Bone asked in surprise.
"This is made by Mr. Xu's people, it seems to be called the venom of the wild snake."
The wild snake is recorded in "Mountain Monster Talk", this is a small snake, and it will grow to seventy or eighty centimeters long at most when it is an adult, and it is really an inconspicuous little man in the earth beast world full of giant beasts, but it is such a small man who has a lethal weapon to kill these giant beasts. That's its venom, the venom of the wild snake is only secreted when they feel dangerous, and the amount is surprisingly small, but even so, it only takes a small drop to kill an African elephant.
In the "Strange Tales of the Mountains" recorded such a story, the Han Dynasty when the Silk Road was prosperous, there were envoys from the west to pay tribute to two elephants, the courtiers who saw such a behemoth for the first time were surprised, the envoy of the tribute at that time was proud, declaring that no one in the world is the opponent of these two elephants, even if it is the most powerful master of the Han Dynasty, these two giants can not be beaten. Unexpectedly, there were also cultivators among the courtiers, and they stood up at that time and said that only one boy could deal with these two elephants.
Then the two sides made a bet, and the man let his young son walk up to the elephant with a handful of forage, and the elephant surrounded him to eat the forage and was poisoned to death on the spot in a few moments. The two envoys from the West were dumbfounded, and the forage was smeared with the venom of the wild snake.
"Can you give me some later?"
Iron Bone asked as he walked back.
"No, this thing is very expensive, if you want it, pay for it."
I waved my hand, but it was a pity that there were three wild boars, although it could not be said that they had reached the level of demons, but they were powerful among the earth beasts, and if they could be caught alive, they might be able to sell them for a good price.
After returning to the team, I didn't pay much attention to the fact that the little demon said that the two earth beasts were demons, maybe it was mistaken, or maybe it was already a demon in their eyes at this level.
After walking with the little demon for most of the day, the road became more and more difficult to walk, and soon the night was pressed, and everyone found a clean high slope to build a camp, around the bonfire, and the atmosphere was a little dull.
While reading Professor Shen Liangye's information, I asked, "Little demon, how long will it take for us to reach Xuanhai?" ”
The little demon snuggled in Shen Mengtian's arms, pointed to the mountain peak behind him and said, "Turn it over...... That's it...... Genkai is over. ”
"So it should be there tomorrow?"
I asked.
The little demon nodded, judging from the progress, it was not bad, much smoother than I expected, and the matter of the three wild boars was also under control, not exceeding my expectations.
"Everyone takes turns keeping vigil, and the girls rest."
I said in a loud voice that I usually keep the first shift, and today is no exception, and after everyone fell asleep wrapped in blankets, I sat by the fire and smoked.
After a while, I felt something behind me slowly approaching, I thought it was a snake, but suddenly I turned around and saw that it was a little demon. It looked at me with a look of horror, and I frowned and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
Is this little demon trying to sneak up on me from behind while I'm distracted? While I was guessing, the little demon suddenly pointed to the cigarette in my hand and said, "This thing...... I've seen ......."
I was stunned, held up my cigarette and asked, "Do you mean cigarettes?" Where have you seen it? ”
"Someone saw...... I'm hiding in ...... In the woods...... I saw someone eating ......"
It doesn't speak very fluently yet.
It had seen someone smoking before, probably Shen Liangye and them, so I hurriedly asked, "Where did you see someone smoking?" That's what you eat? ”
"Genkai...... North ......"
It pointed in the direction of Genkai and said.
"What about the man? Do you see where they went? ”
I asked hurriedly.
"Uncle Long was furious...... Ate ...... They ......"
These words made my whole heart sink suddenly, and I subconsciously glanced at Shen Mengtian, if the people who were eaten were Shen Liangye and them, then it is estimated that the probability of the professor's survival would not be too high. Fortunately, now that Shen Mengtian is asleep, he shouldn't have heard what the little demon said just now. I hurriedly whispered, "Don't mention this again, you know?" ”
The little demon looked at me a little confused, but nodded anyway and retreated.
The next day, we continued to set off, under the leadership of the little demon, constantly bypassing the territory of the demon clan and the earth beast, I have to say that there are a few of the demon clan breath hidden in the Luoye Mountain is very strong, much more powerful than the three wild boars encountered before, although it is not clear what the spirit is, but it is a good thing not to encounter it, if you encounter a fierce battle.
When it was close to evening, the little demon suddenly pointed to the front and shouted, "Where is the front...... Flip over...... It's Genkai. ”
Victory is imminent, I waved my hand, everyone headed towards the final destination, after turning over the mountain, standing in the wind and looking forward, the fog was thrown behind us, a huge lake appeared in front of me, sparkling, the lake surface was flooded with a faint colored light, very large, much bigger than I imagined, and even this black sea I couldn't see the end at a glance, obviously not the real sea, but it gave me a majestic feeling.
"Wow, this is Genkai! We're finally here, haha, how come the lake is seven-colored. ”
Hua Niu looked the most excited, shouting and screaming, pointing to the water in front of her.
I explained, "According to the information I read, it is because the Xuanhai is full of aura, and the aura covers the entire Xuanhai like a barrier, so when the sun shines down, the entire Xuanhai will emit seven-colored light. But it's beautiful, and we're lucky. ”
If it weren't for the luck of finding the little demon as the guide, maybe we would still be wandering around in the fog outside.
"Let's go down, find a place to set up camp first, and then plan further."
I shouted, and the crowd began to follow me one by one.
It took nearly another day to descend the hill, and places that seemed to be in front of us from a distance often took twice as long as expected. So when we got to the side of Genkai, it was already completely dark.
At night, Genkai looks different, all the stars in the sky seem to be reflected in a huge mirror, and the water surface shimmers brilliantly, like a brilliant jewel dotted under the night sky.
"It's so beautiful, this place is so dreamy."
Hua Niu pulled Shen Mengtian to stand by the lake and said in surprise.
Girls often have no resistance to beautiful things, even if this is Genkai, even if it is not safe. After the camp was set up, we began to discuss tomorrow's countermeasures.
"Since we have arrived in the Xuanhai Sea and the fog has lifted, then I suggest that we look for them separately tomorrow. In this way, I am still on a team with Luo Qiong, and the two big brothers Black Bull and Iron Bone are on a team. Brother Yong, you and Hua Niu are on a team. Shen Mengtian's words...... Follow me with the little demon, and we can still protect you. ”
I spoke.
"Okay, that's it, everyone rest early."
After a few words, everyone went to bed.
I kept the first shift as usual, and the night was very quiet, and the sky seemed clear compared to the noisy forest around me, and the water was shining with brilliant stars, but there was not the slightest sound, not even the sound of the water.
"It's too quiet in here, isn't it?"
I closed my eyes, and I didn't even bring any news from the wind.
Can you really find Professor Shen Liangye here? I don't think it's likely, and I don't have much hope in my heart.
Turning around, the little demon got up from the ground in a daze, staggered to my side, and looked at me to see what I wanted to say, but at this moment, a terrible chirp suddenly came from the water on the opposite side, and this chirp went straight to the sky, swirling in the air, like a dragon roaring in the sky, I was taken aback, and immediately stood up from the ground. Even everyone behind him woke up and asked strangely, "What's wrong?" ”
I didn't speak, I stared at the lake in front of me, and something seemed to be moving on the surface of the lake, and the water was tumbling and splashing, as if something was about to break through.
"What's that?"
I said with a frown.
"Uncle Long...... Uncle Lomb is coming......"
The little demon beside him whispered.
