Chapter 123: The Demon Forest
The gray-clothed young man who suddenly appeared and released a blood curse to explode and died, before he finally died, he left a message about the fifth master and Tianyu, everyone knows in their hearts, and the credible Cheng dΓΉ is very low. However, this is the most sincere and direct news we have heard about the five masters so far, so no matter whether what he said in the end is true or not, we have to go to the "Demon Forest" for a trip.
When the monkey saw me nodding, he immediately asked, "What is the place in the Demon Forest?"
Before I went south, I had already memorized all the cities, mountains, forests, topography and landforms in Guangxi, and explained to him: "The magic forest is in Guangxi, and it is a karst stone forest. Because all of them are intricately composed of water against soluble rocks. Most of them are strange stones and columns full of pores and fissures, low-lying karst ditches, hideous remnant mounds, as well as sharp stone teeth and lonely peaks, which look like a stone forest where the devil lives, so it is called a magic forest. β
Seventh Master Zha added loudly on the side: "The name of Demon Forest has another meaning. It is its own magical power, and some mysterious events often occur in it, hence the name. β
When the monkey heard this, his eyes immediately widened and he said, "Mysterious incident? β
Seeing the monkey's nervous expression, Seventh Master immediately became interested, and replied mysteriously: "There are a large number of stagnant water ditches in the Demon Forest, and there are mysterious creatures that look like humans and bears living in them. A low-lying enclosed land surrounded by hills and peaks, and according to legend, there is a circular depression in the shape of a funnel on the ground, which is inhabited by ferocious cannibal black-scaled sharks. And "
Before Seventh Master Zha finished speaking, she was immediately stopped by Seventh Eye, and insisted with disgust that her Seventh Uncle was alarmist. Make up horror legends and stories.
The fat man added fuel and vinegar to the side and said: "I have encountered so many bizarre and strange things along the way, Ling'er, you still don't believe in those legends!" β
Zha Ling'er glared at the fat man. The fat man immediately smiled and said to her, "But don't worry, I'm here with your fat brother." A qiΔ demon and monster dare to touch your finger. β
When Zha Ling'er heard the fat man's bold words, she immediately snorted and muttered, "I'm really not afraid of the wind fanning my tongue." β
After this playful conversation, the atmosphere eased a lot, and the monkey, who usually has the most eyesight, suddenly asked me: "Brother Smoke Man, he" As soon as he said this, everyone's originally laughing faces immediately became stern.
First, he glanced at the smoke man who was unconscious on the ground, and he looked like a jade sculpture at this time. It's frighteningly cold and quiet. I can't tell what's wrong with him, he seems to be a mutated beast before, especially the color of his eyes, I don't know why it turned terrifying blood red, could it be related to the forbidden spell on his body? The body of the cigarette boy brother is becoming more and more like an unsolvable mystery!
Actually, I didn't know what happened to the cigarette man, so in order to avoid everyone's worries, I had to laugh and lie: "He's fine." β
When everyone heard this, they seemed to be relieved. Only Seventh Master Zha frowned, and peeked at me from time to time. And I always maintained a firm look in my eyes and a confident smile. In fact, at this time, the heart is beating nonstop.
Before going to the Magic Forest, the first task is to collect food and catch hares in the mountains. It turned out to be a first-class event. But God really favors the poor people with a heart, and we have a fluke mentality. I dug a trap casually, and I was very lucky to hunt a wild boar. It's a good thing that even you wouldn't have dreamed of.
The wild boar skin was made into a blanket by the skillful Zha Ling'er, and everyone excitedly pickled some of the wild boar meat with salt cubes, exposed to the scorching sun, and made jerky, and the other part was cooked and packed in a sealed bag for waterproofing. For a while, you won't have to worry about food. Wipe the oil off their mouths, and everyone embarks on a new journey.
However, after a long period of starvation, everyone began to retch after eating excessively greasy food, and their stomachs were extremely uncomfortable. As a result, the first day of the new journey had just begun, and it was very unfortunate that he died, and everyone had to rest in place for another day.
When he left Qilin Mountain, the smoke man hadn't woken up yet. The fat man and the monkey made a simple stretcher out of twigs, pigskins, and clothes, and used them to carry the smoking man on the way.
The magic forest of karst is extremely magnificent, the peaks and peaks are lined up one after another, the ravines are winding and turning, there are water waves flowing gently, and the situation of beautiful mountains and rivers is completely beautiful.
However, there is not a single grass on the ground in the stone forest, and there is not the slightest green in the distance, and there are gravel and stones everywhere, which are uneven, making the march very laborious. There were no trees around to cool off, and everyone was completely exposed to the blazing sun, and the water in their bodies was quickly dried up. On the way, I found one or two ravines from time to time, soaked my coat in stagnant water, and then put it on my head, and repeated this so as not to be dried into fish.
In the karst stone forest, there are gray stone pillars with water moth-hole holes, and the eyes are full of gray and hard scenes, and you can't see other colors.
Zha Qiye said that as long as you pass through this bumpy stone forest, you can see the greenery, and the karst ground is not all stone forests composed of strange stones like this. There are also low-rolling plains with only scattered karst rock columns, and although there are not many trees, there is definitely a place to cool off. There are also karst formations composed of waterfalls, pools of water, lava lakes, etc., which are not only beautiful and charming, but also can wash away the tiredness of the body.
Looking at the sharpened and smoothed karst rock walls on the side, like high-rise buildings, I really hope that the scenery of the mountains and rivers in the mouth of the seventh master will come soon.
After a day of travel, I found a cave to rest in the dark of night. The image of the crescent moon hanging over the gray stone pillar is also very beautiful. It is estimated that because the scorching sun has dissipated, the shady night view is particularly charming.
The cigarette man was not yet awake, and his face was still as pale as paper, but the sound of his breathing became very loud, and he no longer looked like a dead man, which made me feel a lot more relieved. Brother Smoke is a very hard-nosed person, he can't die if he is poisoned by the cold, I believe he will wake up soon.
The dry and unusually hard dry and cold stone forest made people's mood become irritable, and the poison of the scorching sun made everyone hate the demon forest even more. Luckily, the cool nights came as scheduled, but the potholes and stone forests were so hard to find a place to rest and sleep. (To be continued......)
