"Ha, that's weird, doesn't it mean that the Borderlands are wilderness and forbidden areas for life? ”

After the four of them landed, they came to a dense jungle, which, as seen from the air, stretched for thousands of miles and covered the surrounding mountains.

The surrounding trees are dozens of feet high, covering the sky and the sun, and the feet are soft fallen leaves that have accumulated for an unknown number of years, and the air is filled with a musty smell, and walking in it gives people an eerie feeling.

"Come closer, everyone, don't get lost. Duan Feng reminded.

The four of them walked in the direction of the smoke just now.

As the four of them went deeper, the trees in the forest began to become thinner, the height of the trees gradually decreased, and the musty smell in the air became lighter and lighter.

Tree stumps from the felling began to appear in the area, and occasionally human traces could be seen.

"It looks like it's really inhabited. ”

Duan Feng's perception of this world was now in an unprecedented crisis, and he began to wonder how many of the rumors about the Terran world and the Borderlands he had been exposed to before were true and how many were false.

Counting the days, they have wasted five days, and until now they have not seen the shadow of Xihe Zhiding.

Crossing a small stream, the water is crystal clear, the water is lined with pebbles, and sometimes you can see schools of swimming fish.

On the other side of the creek was a small village, and the smoke they saw from the air was coming from the village.

Three children were playing in the water by the stream, and when they saw a stranger coming, they quickly ran out of the water and trotted all the way back to the village, hiding behind a big tree, and secretly looked at them with fear in their eyes.

Then, out of the village, more than a dozen strong men armed with sticks came out, and the men stood on the way to enter the village, blocking the way of the four of them.

Then, an old man walked out from behind the men, with a cane in his hand, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and a rickety figure.

"The old man is the patriarch here, I don't know who you are, how did you get here?" the old man asked first.

"Old man, we are passers-by, and we want to beg for food. Duan Feng didn't intend to say his purpose directly, and besides, they were indeed hungry.

"Passers-by?" the old man looked at the four suspiciously, obviously this reason did not convince him, but he did not seem to have any ill intentions when he looked at the four people, so he said, "Where are you going? Why are you passing by here?"

"The Far North. Duan Feng had already prepared the answer in advance.

"Where did you come from, thousands of miles away?" asked the old man.

"We're here from the Southern Orcs. ”

As soon as Duan Feng's words came out, the old man's eyebrows became more urgent, "Beast Clan Territory? Then you should go north, how did you get here?"

This time it was Duan Feng's turn to be puzzled, they were obviously flying all the way north along the Holy Spirit Mountain Range, and they didn't change direction halfway, why did the old man say that.

"And what is this place?"

"This place is called Sanqing Mountain, it is thousands of miles away from the Eastern Holy Spirit Mountain Range, and the Dongliu River is thousands of miles to the south, and it is Baibu Mountain to the north for 1,600 miles from here. The old man pointed to the gloomy northern sky.

Duan Feng looked up, although the sky was also gray in the current position, it was not as thick as the clouds they had seen before.

In the north, the sky is much more gloomy, and the sky is like a thick curtain of dust.

According to the old man, they should be in the heart of the Borderlands by now, but this is not quite what he imagined.

What's more, how exactly did they cross tens of thousands of miles out of thin air and appear here.

He remembered that he had flown north along the Whitsunday Mountains, and when they landed, the shadows of the Whitsunday Mountains could still be seen in the east.

"Old man, we are going to the Far North, how should we go?"

"It's a long way from here to the Far North, and you'll need to cross the Hundred Mountains in the north, and then walk more than fifteen thousand miles to the northeast to reach the Netherworld Abyss. Three thousand miles north along the Netherworld Abyss, you will reach the Far North Domain. ”

"We can fly directly from here like the northeast, so we don't have to take a detour to Mt. Hyakubu. ”

After hearing this, the old man shook his head with a smile and said, "This is not good. ”

"Why not?"

"From here to the east, there is an endless land of death and life, and I have heard that those who enter it have never been able to come out alive, so for your safety, you should not take this risk. ”

"The land of death and life?" Duan Feng thought for a moment in his heart, the place of death and life in the old man's mouth should be what they called the Borderland, that is, they actually passed through the Borderland!

If that's the case, they'll have to return to the Borderlands if they want to reach Yuanxin Peak.

And they are more and more puzzled about the Borderland, they thought that there would be countless demon beasts and evil spirits there, even then, they can accept it, but this situation is something he never expected.

He was beginning to understand in his heart now why no one had been able to enter or leave the Borderlands in all these years, because no one had actually been there.

After thinking about it for a long time and weighing the pros and cons, Duan Feng decided not to enter the Borderland for the time being, and first followed the old man's instructions to reach the Netherworld Abyss, and then make plans when the time came.

After the four of them had a brief meal in the village, Duan Feng asked casually, "When I entered the village just now, I saw more than a dozen strong men holding sticks just now, and it seemed that we were not very welcome. ”

After hearing this, the old man sighed and said: "You don't know, from here to the north of the Baibu Mountain, there lives a group of demon beasts, often come out to harass the surrounding residents, every year will cause dozens of casualties to the village, in order to prevent the demon beasts from encroaching, the villagers have no choice but to organize this civil defense group." ”

"What kind of monster?"

"Who is right, they come and go without a trace, but everyone who has seen their true colors is dead. The old man has lived here for decades, and he has never seen them in real form. ”

"Isn't there anyone in the government to take care of it?"

Besides, poor people like us can't create taxes for the government, so how can they care about our life or death?"

Duan Feng looked at the northern sky thoughtfully, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, what kind of demon beast would have such great spiritual power, and include the entire northern sky into his own spiritual energy range.

"Therefore, you must not stop when passing by Baibu Mountain, otherwise your life will be in danger. The old man said as he took a package from the person behind him and taught it to Duan Feng.

"Here are some food, the road is far away, you eat on the way. ”

"Thank you, old man, we are leaving. ”

Duan Feng and the four of them said goodbye to the villagers, and according to the old man's instructions, they flew all the way north.
