Chapter 142: Mount Sumo
The two of them returned to the frozen location of the kuntou along the same path, and the towering icicles were still there, and everything around them remained unchanged.
"How are you feeling?"
"How's that?"
"Is your spiritual power back?"
"I don't know, I should be back. β
"You try, maybe we can go back. β
Duan Feng then slowly raised his hands, and a whirlwind suddenly appeared around him and swirled around him, and he felt a hot current in his body flowing slowly.
"It's back!" Duan Feng shouted in surprise.
"Now we can go back. β
Duan Feng looked back at the iceberg, although he didn't know where the old man was, but he felt that the relationship between himself and the old man was not over.
Duan Feng and the two of them controlled the Ice Sword, and flew to Crescent Bay without a single cup of tea.
Han Qing and Su Yanjun hurriedly stood up and ran over, "You're finally back!"
"What's wrong?"
"Look!" Han Qing pointed to the halfway point of the Fengtian Ridge behind him.
"Where's the cave?" Duan Feng looked at the collapsed mountain halfway up the mountain, the original cave had disappeared.
"I don't know, but after you left, the cave suddenly collapsed. β
Duan Feng and the others looked at the direction of the cave strangely, the things they had encountered in the past two days were too weird, making it difficult to understand for a while.
However, he faintly felt that all of this was related to Xihe Zhiding, whether it was the old man on Fengtian Ridge or the old man of Yinming Mountain, they seemed to have been arranged by the heavens to guide him to find Xihe Zhiding.
However, this guidance made him panic a little, and he suddenly had a sense of domination.
"How are you doing?
"Of course. Duan Feng took out a small porcelain vase and handed it to Han Qing, "Not only that, we also have an unexpected gain." β
"What windfall?"
Han Qing and Su Yanjun poured out a few drops of crimson blood from a small porcelain bottle, although there was a fishy smell, but in order to restore their spiritual power, they still took it.
Duan Feng also told Han Qing about their encounter with the mysterious old man and about the Xuan Turtle.
"So, we still have to go to the East China Sea to find Zhao Muzhi?"
"It depends, that's all there is to it. β
The four of them didn't say much, and after Han Qing and Su Yanjun recovered their spiritual powers, the four of them quickly headed towards the East China Sea.
When they arrived in Qiandao County, it was already approaching evening, and the war still did not reach Qiandao County, but from people's daily life, the thought of war was still everywhere.
Qiandao County is an island, and the island mainly relies on trade with the mainland to develop its economy, and now that the mainland is constantly at war, the trade between the two is naturally plummeting.
Moreover, although the war did not spread here, as the so-called nest is over, there is no end to the eggs, the mainland is Qiandao County, and if the mainland is occupied by rebels, it will be difficult for Qiandao County to be alone.
What's more, without the backing of the mainland, the small Qiandao County can only be slaughtered by others, and the little armament on the island alone is simply not enough to deal with the attack of any armed forces around it.
But in the eyes of Si Yunhai, the city lord of Qiandao County's Xia City, it seemed that Qiandao County was able to resist the attack of the rebels by guarding the sea, and he seemed to have forgotten that there was a demon venerable behind the rebels.
Moreover, the Western Beast Clan, as well as overseas alien races, are also eyeing Qiandao County all year round, once Qiandao County and the mainland are completely broken, then its end will be inevitable.
Ordinary people also know this, but what people don't understand is that the dignified court can't see this clearly, and he actually remains neutral in this rebellion.
From the air around him, Duan Feng could smell a smell of panic.
There are very few guests in the inn, and in the past, mainland tourists and businessmen would often make the inn here in short supply, but now to have a guest to come, it will make the owner very excited.
The arrival of the four made the shopkeeper treat them as guests and flatter them to the fullest, which made the four of them a little unaccustomed.
After a night's rest, the four of them headed towards Hongyue Mountain, and as before, the environment here had not changed much, except that there were far fewer boats traveling between the islands.
The fishing boats at the foot are almost gone, and there are more boats transporting timber.
The ships carrying the timber all looked like they were on the west side of the main island of Chiba Island, and it looked like there was a need to look at the timber.
Duan Feng thought to himself, maybe this wood was transported to build fortifications, it seemed that Si Yunhai was not completely inactive, but he didn't want to spread this panic to the residents of the island.
When they came to Hongyue Mountain, they directly found Zhao Muzhi's home, the chai door was closed, and a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child inside was Zhao Muzhi's apprentice.
The child was watering a few flowers and plants, Duan Feng walked directly to the door like last time, knocked on the door hard, and shouted casually: "Little brother." β
The child looked at the door with a strange pout, then put down the barrel in his hand and ran to the door, his face no longer lacking his previous arrogance.
"Hey! It's you again!"
"Yes, I didn't expect the little brother to remember me. β
"That's nature, my master has always asked me to wait here for you. β
"Wait for me? He knows I'm coming?"
"Of course. The child said with a smug look on his face, "My master has also explained, let me entertain you well." β
The child opened the wood door as he opened the door and ushered them into the courtyard.
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, Duan Feng smelled the fragrance of herbs, but when they were at the door just now, they didn't smell anything.
Just through a wooden gate and a wooden fence, the smell was locked in the courtyard, which made them feel incredible.
"Where has your master gone?"
"I don't know, he didn't say it, he just said let me entertain you. β
Duan Feng and the four of them looked at each other, and then asked, "Then when will he come back?"
"I don't know, and he didn't say anything. β
Duan Feng was even more confused, could it be that they came in vain?
"Then how did your master ask you to entertain us?"
"I don't know, just let me entertain you, I've been thinking about it all these days, but I haven't remembered it yet. β
"Damn!, I don't know!" Duan Feng thought to himself.
"How long has your master been gone?"
"Hmm-" The child tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "It's been a month, but I forgot the specifics." β
Duan Feng looked at Han Qing with a disappointed expression, and could only follow the child and continue to walk towards the house.
"Ahh β
"What's that?"
"Lingtian Fruit. β
"Lingtian Fruit?"
"Yes, Master also said that it is only = when you find the Spirit Heavenly Fruit, that is when he comes back. β
"Where is the Spirit Heavenly Fruit?"
"Hmm-" The child turned around in place, then fixed his gaze on the east, stretched out his right index finger and pointed at the east, "Mount Sumo!"
"Sumoshan?" the four of them looked in the direction the child pointed, with suspicious expressions on their faces.
"Yes, that's right, it's Mount Sumo. The child repeated.
"Alright, let's go to Mount Sumo. Duan Feng thought to himself, since Zhao Muzhi knew that they were coming, he must also know the purpose of their coming.
He asked them to find the Lingtian Fruit, so there must be a use for him, so Duan Feng still decided to do what Zhao Muzhi requested.
"But I heard there's a battle going on near Mount Sumo, so you need to be careful. β
"Fighting?" Duan Feng said in surprise, the direction the child pointed to was located in the far sea of the East China Sea, and Mount Xumo should also be located on a small island.
"Could it be that the war has spread overseas?" Duan Feng muttered to himself.
"I don't know exactly what's going on, but you just need to be careful. β
"Thank you, little brother, and we'll leave at once. β
"Heyβwait, I haven't entertained you yet?"
"No, we don't have that much time. β
"But if you meet Master, you must say that I have entertained you. The little one shouted from behind.
"Got it. Duan Feng felt funny in his heart, how much this kid had to be afraid of his master, just like he was afraid of his father at the beginning.
Mount Xumo is located 600 miles east of Hongyue Mountain, and is a small island with a radius of only more than 80 miles.
The main body of the island is a mountain, the main peak is more than a thousand feet high, and there are more than a dozen islands and reefs protruding from the water scattered around it.
Mount Xumo is a stone mountain, the vegetation on the mountain is sparse, only the peak of the main peak grows a cluster of green vegetation, the stones on it are blood-red, and it looks like a huge blood steamed bun from a distance.
More than ten miles away from Mount Sumo, the four of them stopped, and looked at the entire sea, within a radius of 100 miles, they did not see a single soldier, and there were not even seabirds around.
"I'm afraid the Spirit Heavenly Fruit we're looking for is on top of that peak. β
Walking around the island, I was sure that only the peaks of the entire island were green.
The wind was low and landed on an island with patches of purple-green seaweed growing slimy.
Under the reflection of the sun, the entire surrounding sea area showed a burst of scarlet, and a smell of sea fish came to the face.
"Where is the war?" Han Qing looked into the distance.
"This kid can't lie to us, right?"
"Since he said so, let's take it as a reminder that nothing is better. β
"I don't know if there's a fight, but we seem to be in more trouble. Su Yanjun's face changed, and he looked at the main peak of Xumo Mountain.
"What's wrong?" the three of them followed her gaze and saw a giant python coiling above the main peak.
The python's whole body is red, and the color of the main peak of Mount Sumo is very similar, and it looks like one from a distance.
Moreover, the python is very large, occupying the upper part of the entire main peak, and its head is more than ten zhang wide.
The python was fat around the main peak, and seemed to be asleep, not paying any attention to the surrounding movements.
"What now?"
"I had no choice but to go up. β
"But can we beat such a big snake?"
"The purpose of our coming here is not to kill any big snake, we just need to obtain the Spirit Heavenly Fruit. Moreover, this snake is so big, and this is our chance. β
"Yes, such a big mountain, I can't see this snake, there must be a chance. β
"E-" Su Yanjun pulled the corner of Han Qing's clothes and said, "I'm afraid, we don't have a chance." β
"What do you mean?" Han Qing looked at Su Yanjun suspiciously.
"Gah-"
Suddenly, a long and piercing roar came from the air, and Duan Feng and everyone looked up, and a big bird that covered the sky and the sun flew around the main peak from the other side of the mountain.
