Chapter 4: The Tempest

"Hey, I'm tired to death, hey, I said old man, why don't you have anything to do, you still walk so fast!" Lin Liang's voice full of resentment echoed in the mountains and forests.

It had been almost a day since he set off from Stone Ghost Town, but the old man ignored Lin Liang's wailing and still walked forward quickly.

"Hey, old man, wait for me, I'm tired. Seeing that the old man ignored it, Lin Liang had no choice but to increase the strength of his wailing.

"Tsk! I can't help this kid. Hearing Lin Liang's wail, the old man frowned, and instead shook his head helplessly, so he had to stop.

"Alright, don't scream, let's rest for a while. Seeing that Lin Liang was still screaming, the old man turned his head and said angrily.

Hearing this, Lin Liang immediately stopped wailing, smiled, turned around, took out water and dry food from his backpack, sat down on the spot, and began to gobble up.

"I said that you are so tired, you have already strengthened your physical strength!" The old man looked helplessly at Lin Liang, who was resting.

"Hey, old man, don't just look at it, can you eat?" Seeing the old man looking at him, Lin Liang hurriedly took out a piece of dry food and water and handed it to the old man. "Go out, don't say that I, Lin Liang, abuse the elderly!"

"Poof" The old man who took the water and just took a sip heard this, but when he heard this, he directly sprayed a sip of water, and scolded with a smile: "You stinky boy, who abuses who doesn't know yet!"

Saying that, the old man urged again: "Okay, hurry up and rest, we must rush to the outskirts of the Tianqi Mountain Range before dark." ”

"Heavenly Death Mountains...... Periphery?" Lin Liang was interested.

"Hey, old man, tell me about this Tianqi Mountain Range, and by the way, why did you go to the periphery of the Tianqi Mountain Range before dark. Lin Liang asked curiously while nibbling on dry food.

Seeing that he couldn't move for a while, the old man nodded and said: "The Tianwu Mountain Range can be said to be the dividing line between the north and south of the continent, and many forces have always been fighting in this Tianqi Mountain Range, including the battle between the Great Yan Dynasty and the barbarians. ”

Speaking of this, the old man paused, and when he saw Lin Liang listening seriously, he continued, "Since that battle, people have found that there are treasures left by those masters after their deaths in the Tianqi Mountain Range, and when they think of how many masters have died in the mountains for thousands of years, those treasures left behind are very tempting. ”

"So that's the case, no wonder so many people go to the Tianqi Mountain Range to hunt for treasure. Lin Liang nodded and asked, "Then why do you have to rush to the periphery before dark?"

"Hey" the old man laughed strangely, "Boy Lin, if the Heaven Death Mountain Range was so easy to enter, wouldn't the treasures inside have already been taken away?"

"Well, that's right. Could it be that there is something strange about this mountain range?" Lin Liang guessed when he heard this.

"It's not just weird, it's like a trap laid by a hunter. The old man continued: "There are three dangers in the mountains of this day. ”

"Threefold, that threefold?" said Lin Liangqi.

"The first is why we need to reach the outskirts of the mountain range before dark, although we are now in the Tianqi Mountain Range, we are still some distance away. At night, the mountains create a thick fog outside the periphery. ”

"The fog?"

"Yes, it's the fog. The old man took a sip of wine and said, "This fog will block people's senses, and it will cause people to hallucinate. When the Heavenly Death Mountain Range was found to have treasures, there were more than 10 million people who came, but less than 10% of them returned, and half of them died in the hands of this mist. Speaking of this, the old man was also afraid for a while, he also passed by this fog at the beginning, otherwise he would not be here now.

"Then why do you say that it looks like a trap laid by a hunter?" Lin Liang didn't seem to be afraid at all, and then asked.

"Because the fog can be said to cover the entire Tianqi Mountain Range, and at night it is like a cage, not only can it not be entered from the outside world, but even the sky is blocked by the fog. Although the fog is supposed to be natural, I always feel like someone has laid it. Speaking of this, there was a rare trace of fear in the old man's eyes, after all, not everyone can do it with such a big hand.

At this time, Lin Liang, who had been listening carefully, suddenly jumped up and shouted: "Then why don't you go quickly? Let's go, there will be an accident in the province early." ”

The old man was surprised, "Aren't you tired?

"Enough rest, let's go!" Lin Liang picked up his backpack and walked forward, secretly saying in his heart, "What kind of place is this, I just want to cultivate, but I don't want to die" and waved his hand to the old man to follow.

The old man smiled, "I didn't expect this kid to be so afraid of death", and then followed Lin Liang.

At night, Lin Liang and the old man finally arrived at the periphery before dark.

Looking at the fog that was already thick and indistinct not far behind him, Lin Liang let out a sigh of relief, fortunately caught up. When he first came in, he saw a rabbit crashing into a tree after touching the mist, and it didn't stop until he died, which frightened Lin Liang.

He immediately asked the old man, "Old man, let's be okay if we enter this periphery now." ”

"Well, it's okay for the time being", seeing Lin Liang's frightened appearance, the old man smiled and comforted.

"We'll rest in this place tonight, remember not to light a fire. The old man admonished.

"Don't make a fire, but I'm already alive!" Lin Liang asked suspiciously, holding up the torch.

The old man was frightened by the light of the fire and hurriedly said, "Extinguish it quickly!"

"Oh, good!" Seeing the old man's anxious face, Lin Liang hurriedly extinguished the torch.

"Whew!" the old man looked around vigilantly, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no movement. He immediately said to Lin Liang: "Lin boy, you almost killed us just now!"

"Huh?"

Seeing that Lin Liang was still confused, the old man explained: "There are a large number of beasts on the periphery of the Heavenly Death Mountain Range, and once a fire is lit at night, the bright light is simply a guiding light for the beasts." ”

"And the aura in the Tianqi Mountain Range is relatively violent, ordinary martial artists can't absorb it, and these beasts live here all year round, and they will more or less inhale these aura to produce mutations, if you hook the beasts, it's okay to be alone, and a group will be over." This is the second danger of the Heavenly Death Mountain Range—the violent aura. After saying that, the old man looked around again, and made sure that no wild beast was near, so he took out the wine gourd and took a sip of wine.

"That's right. Suddenly, Lin Liang said uncertainly: "Old man, do you feel that the ground is shaking", and there was already a tremor in his voice.

"What?" the old man was startled and hurriedly listened.

The sound grew louder and louder from far and near.

The old man's face changed instantly. With a quick flash, he grabbed Lin Liang aside.

A series of trees collapsed, and the forest was suddenly filled with smoke, and then it calmed down in an instant.

The old man did not let his guard down in the slightest, staring at the woods that were obscured by the dust.

Boom! I saw a black shadow rushing towards the old man and hitting the tree behind the old man. And the old man reacted when the black shadow rushed out of the dust, and quickly jumped to the tree next to him with Lin Liang.

"What is that?" Lin Liang, who had only reacted at this time, asked curiously.

The old man, who saw the dark shadow clearly, smiled mysteriously: "You can go down and see for yourself." With that, he kicked Lin Liang off the tree.

"Oops!" Lin Liang was caught off guard by the old man's kick from the tree and fell firmly.

As soon as I got up, I saw a cyan light rushing over, and it quickly flashed.

Another series of trees fell.

Only then did Lin Liang see the appearance of the black shadow clearly—it was actually a cyan rhinoceros! There was still a trace of blue light circulating on the horns of the rhinoceros.

"It's called the Tempest Rhino, it's a breed of ordinary rhinoceros that absorbs the mutation of the furious aura, the skin is rough and the flesh is thick, and the sharp horns on the head are even harder, but ......" The old man's voice came from the tree.

The wind and rhinoceros kept crashing into the trees, and Lin Liang dodged in all directions.

"But what, old man, don't talk halfway, I'm going crazy," Lin Liang roared angrily, and at the same time punched the back of the storm.

"Smack!" Storm Rhino turned around as if he didn't feel it and continued to crash towards Lin Liang.

Ha! Lin Liang was dumbfounded, the wind rhino was punched by him and nothing happened, and at this time, Lin Liang, who came back to his senses, hurriedly dodged the impact of the wind rhino.

"Tsk, I told you that it has rough skin and thick flesh, and with your current strength, you can't hurt him at all. The sound of banter came from the trees.

Hiss, Lin Liang took a breath of cold air, and because he was distracted just now, he couldn't dodge, and his left hand was stabbed by the sharp horns of the wind rhino.

Smelling the smell of blood, the wind rhinoceros became even more violent, and kept rushing towards Lin Liang.

"Old man, think of a way!" As time passed, Lin Liang's body began to fall, and the wounds on his body began to increase.

Estimating that Lin Liang's physical strength should be running out, he looked at Lin Liang, who was still blindly dodging under the tree, and the old man said helplessly: "Do you see the big stone in front of you on the right? ”

"Stones?" Lin Liang immediately searched for when he heard this.

"Right!"

"Oh, I found it!" said Lin Liang, who hurriedly smeared the blood on the stone.

Smelling the smell of blood, the wind rhinoceros instantly slammed into the stone.

Bang! The smoke was filled, and I saw the horns and stones of the wind and rhinoceros smashing to pieces, and Lin Liang, who was hit on the side, had fainted due to excessive blood loss and physical exhaustion.

Seeing that the horns of the wind rhinoceros had been broken, the old man jumped lightly from the tree. At the same time, he turned his palm into a knife and slashed towards the raging wind.

Immediately afterwards, the old man picked up Lin Liang, who was already unconscious, and walked towards the end of the woods, ignoring the wind rhinoceros who had received a knife from him.

Looking at Lin Liang, who was still unconscious in his hand, the old man sighed in his heart, "Originally, I just wanted this kid to understand the method of fighting, but now it seems that he is still in a hurry." ”

And after the old man left with Lin Liang in his arms, the wind rhinoceros that was slashed by the old man's palm suddenly stopped restless.

The body is torn apart, and the dead can't die anymore.
