The boys got out of the gondola and saw that the house they had just seen in the air was actually just a pentagonal pavilion, and the pentagonal pavilion was built in the highest place in the center of a sparsely grassy sandstone field, and five thick logs rose from the ground to support the five corners of the pentagonal pavilion, and the lower end of the pentagonal pavilion was connected together with beams made of five logs, and the pavilion was ventilated on all sides, and it was a good place to sit in it and enjoy the surrounding scenery.

There are also a few wooden tables and stools regularly placed outside the pentagonal pavilion, but they all look to be decaying.

Everyone stood in the pavilion and looked around, below one side of the valley was a long slope covered with sand and gravel, there was a river at the bottom of the slope, the widest part of the river was about 20 meters, the river meandered from the upper reaches and flowed through the slope of more than 100 meters, disappearing into the dark mountain pass in the distance, and the opposite bank of the river was connected with several undulating hills.

"Shanglin, could this river be the valley river in the storybook?" Kapok said happily.

Shanglin looked at the mountain stream and small river in the twilight and said, "It shouldn't be the Gu River, this river is so narrow that it can't be passed by boats, but it is likely to be connected to the Gu River." We'll row out along the river tomorrow and we should be able to enter the valley and then go down the river to find the princess town, which is at the confluence of the valley and the sea. ”

On the back of the Pentagon Pavilion is a flat wasteland, with dense weeds and trees growing on the ground at least three meters high, shrouded in a gloomy sky, this wasteland looks particularly eerie.

At the end of the wasteland is a tall, swarthy mountain.

"If there is a mage who lives in this mountain, the mage will definitely not make a hole by the river, because if there is a big water hole, it will be flooded, and the cave can only be at the foot of that mountain." Wang Fan pointed to the high mountains behind the wasteland and said.

Shanglin said, "Okay, let's shout to everyone over there and see if any mages come out to take care of us." ”

"Hey, anyone?"

"Is there a mage?"

"Mage, we're looking for you!"

"If you come out, I'll give you gold!"

"Don't be afraid, we are the messengers of the Heavenly King!"

"Mage, we're from the prairie!"

The loud shouts of the teenagers echoed in the lonely mountains.

But after waiting for a full five minutes, neither man nor beast responded to the distinguished guests from afar with enthusiastic shouts.

Jane was disappointed.

Shanglin comforted and said, "Zhen'er, tomorrow when you go to Princess City to ask King Guhe for help, it will be very easy to find a mage." Maybe the shapeshifters have moved into the city. Although we didn't find the mage on the mountain, we arrived in Qizhou safely after all, and I sent Xinyan back to the prairie to report safety to my father and queen mother. ”

After Shanglin finished speaking, he whistled, and Xinyan flew back quickly.

Shanglin took out a pen and a strip of white cloth from his pocket, and wrote: "Father, mother, we have arrived in Qizhou!" The power system energy has been exhausted, no ice and fire stones have been found on the side of Qizhou, and after the mission of Qizhou is completed, Ah Hu will take us back to the savannah in the sheriff's spaceship. ”

After writing Shanglin, he wrapped a strip of white cloth around one of Xinyan's legs, and then took out a thin rope from his pocket and tied it tightly. He touched Xinyan's shiny feathers and said, "Xinyan goes back to the prairie and reports to my father!" Wishing you a safe journey! ”

Xin Yan called twice, and then soared into the sky, quickly disappearing from the field of vision of the teenagers.

Xinyan left, everyone's eyes turned from the air back to the ground, and Ama said, "What are you going to have for dinner tonight?" The dry food was gone, and the water in the kettle was gone. ”

A melodious birdsong came from the bottom of the hillside, as if to answer Yama's question, Kapok stood up and said, "Hey, Yama, listen, the delicious food and water tonight are by the river, and I will shoot a few wild birds from Qizhou for you to taste today." ”

Shanglin stood up and said, "Okay, Kapok is hunting, and we will follow him to the valley to fetch water." ”

Ah Hu and Zhen'er stayed in the Pentagon Pavilion, Kapok picked up the bow and put the arrow on his back, the others carried the kettle, and the four of them quietly touched the hillside.

A flock of fat birds was playing in the water by the river, Kapok stretched out his bow and raised arrows, Ama still went to the flock of birds with a stone, and when the birds were frightened into the air, Kapok released an arrow into the air, and an arrow hit the target.

Soon, hunters and water hunters returned with a full load.

Several people worked together to remove a tattered wooden table and a few wooden benches, plus a little ice and fire left in the vaporization tank, and the teenagers lit a fire in the Pentagon Pavilion.

On the stove on the fire, Ama cut the wild bird meat into several large pieces, smeared with spices and grilled it on the oven, and soon the aroma of roasted wild bird meat wafted in all directions with the stronger and stronger evening breeze.

The people in the pentagonal pavilion sat on the leather bags around the fire and waited to eat barbecue, outside the wooden pavilion, everything in the mountains and fields has been completely shrouded in the vast night, and a cold wind blows the grass and trees to make a "whine" sound.

Wang Fan looked at the dark clouds that kept pouring out from the southwest sky and said, "It looks like it's going to rain heavily tonight!" ”

"We are not afraid of heavy rain, we can use the cloth of the hot air balloon to surround the gondola, and hide in the boat, no matter how heavy the wind and rain are, it will be fine." Kabayashi said in a relaxed tone.

"Hey, I'm hungry, hurry up and eat barbecue before it rains, I'll taste it first."

Kapok Zi said as he picked out a piece of bird meat from the oven with the sword in his hand, and he did not hesitate to open his mouth to bite a large piece of the roast meat that creaked in the hot oil, and then shouted: "Ouch, burn me!" ”

The companions laughed.

"Don't make a sound, listen to what it is!" Ah Hu, who was sitting on the outermost, whispered.

Everyone closed their mouths and pricked up their ears, and all kinds of strange screams sounded one after another, sounding creepy, and everyone unconsciously moved to Ah Hu's side.

"Ah Hu, it's a ghost, I heard that ghosts cry very scary." Zhen'er squeezed to Ah Hu's side and said mysteriously.

"What kind of animal is a ghost?" Ah Hu asked.

"Ah Hu, ghosts are not animals, bad people become ghosts after death, and good people are reincarnated back into humans after death." Jen'er patiently explained.

Unexpectedly, Ah Hu said in a serious tone: "Zhen'er, you biological humans can't be regenerated after death, but as long as we intelligent people leave a backup of memory bank data, theoretically even if they are destroyed, they can be regenerated an infinite number of times." ”

Ah Hu's words made his fellow biological people admire and envy intelligent people, intelligent people can live forever!

As soon as the sound of talking in the pavilion stopped, "Hmph...", a heavy breathing sound came from the wasteland grass and trees outside the wooden pavilion, Zhen'er stretched her neck to look, and immediately exclaimed: "There is something moving in those grass!" ”

Everyone hurriedly stood up, and Ah Hu's eyes shone in the direction of the sound, only to see the head of a beast as big as a bull's head emerging from the grass and then retracting into the grass.

"It's a beast! And it's a behemoth! Ah Hu closed his eyes and said.

"The beasts of Qizhou are so big!" Amma's voice changed a little.

"Prepare for battle!" Shang Lin waved the sword in his hand and said.

"Oops! It must have been the smell of roasted bird meat that drew the beasts of the mountains. Wang Fan said in a panic and shook off the barbecue meat inserted in the sword, this sword was a spare weapon on the gondola, and Shanglin handed it to Wang Fan to use. Although Wang Fan does not have any swordsmanship, Wang Fan has always been a confident person, and the woodcutter at home has been used countless times, Wang Fan thinks that they are also cold weapons, and the method of use is not much different.

Kapok quickly set up a bow and arrows.

Ah Hu shot out the light in his eyes again, and the ugly head that exposed the grass shrank into the grass again, but it was still slowly moving towards the pentagonal pavilion through the grass, and Kapok lost no time in shooting an arrow at the shaking grass. With a low, angry roar, the beast sped up to move in this direction, apparently enraged by Kapok's arrow.

"If the giant beast wants to attack us, it must be eliminated in advance!"

Ah Hu said and stretched out his right arm, and a slender tube stretched out from the palm of his hand aimed at the position where the giant beast moved, and a ball of blue light flew out and rushed into the grass, and the light in Ah Hu's eyes immediately went out.

"Horn ......" sounded, the mountain shook, the people in the pentagonal pavilion stood unsteadily, Kapok Zi took a step backwards and stepped on the broken wood behind him, his feet slipped and his head fell to the ground, the back of his head hit the sharp corner of a wooden board outside the fire, and his hair was suddenly lifted away by the flames, and a green smoke came out.

"Ouch!" Kapok threw away the bow and arrow in his hand, hugged his head, and shouted in pain.

Kabayashi turned around and quickly picked up Kapok and slapped his smoking hair.

"Oh no, my head is bleeding." Kapok stretched out her bloody hand and said in horror.

"Cousin Yama, quickly take out a piece of clothing from the leather bag and tear off a piece of cloth!" Kabayashi shouted.

Ama immediately opened her purse and took out a white underwear and tore off half of it, and while wrapping Kapok's head with a cloth, she comforted: "Kapok, don't be afraid! It's just a little flesh wound, and it will be fine in two days. ”

Wang Fan palpitated and said: "Ah Hu's light bomb is so powerful!" The beast must have been crushed. ”

"Firing this energy bomb consumes most of the energy stored in my body, and I can't protect you if another giant beast attacks." Ah Hu's voice seemed a little weak.

"It's the smell of meat that attracts the beasts, so quickly throw all the barbecue into the water and then go into the cabin to defend it." Kabayashi shouted.

Several men picked up the half-cooked bird meat from the oven with their swords and threw it into the river, and then shrouded the hull of the ship with the huge coat of a hot air balloon and tied it tightly with ropes.

Suddenly, there was a thunderstorm overhead, which frightened everyone, and then it rained, and everyone quickly hid in the cabin.

The sky was thundering, the wind was blowing more and more fiercely, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and everyone tightened their coats and sat silently. Through the cloth wall, it can be seen that the fire in the pentagonal pavilion was quickly extinguished by the cold rain, and the sky and the earth were dark.

The black mountains were full of thunder, rain, wind, and cold winds that shook the hull from side to side. The four cybarians sat in their seats, their swords in their hands, their ears listening carefully to the movements around them, and Zhen'er sat on the deck next to Ah Hu, sitting opposite the four cybarian companions.

Although everyone was silent, everyone was secretly glad in their hearts to have such a warm cabin to settle in this miserable mountain valley.

The rain continued to fall, and after waiting nervously for hours without a sign of the beast's attack, the creatures in the cabin gradually relaxed and fell asleep one by one.
