Mo Li pondered for a moment, then suddenly his eyes lit up, and said, "Could it be that the old man wants to tell us that as long as we find that willow tree, we can enter the core area of Huaijiang Mountain?"

"Not necessarily, maybe the stone in the hollow of the tree is the mechanism that opens the door of the Divine Array. Yan Changsheng said with a little doubt: "But I'm worried that this is all a trap set by that old man." ”

"I don't have that kind of worry, this old man behaves strangely, and there are many doubts in what he says, and even if everything he says is true, we can't fully trust him. ”

After a pause, Mo Li said again: "Didn't you find a strange phenomenon? This strange old man can fly when he escapes!"

Xu Chen was suddenly shocked, he remembered clearly, as soon as they entered the Huaijiang Mountain, they were subject to the divine array and could not fly, but this old man could fly freely in front of them!

This probably means that the old man is not affected by the Divine Array at all, if this is the case, then a new problem will follow, that is, if the Divine Array has no effect on him, the old man can leave here completely, but why should he say that he can't leave here like everyone else?

The more Xu Chen thought about it, the more chilled he became, and he couldn't help but say out loud: "It seems that we have deceived him! What kind of conspiracy does he want to use us to carry out?"

Every monster on the scene, you are looking at me, I am looking at you, and no one can answer the question in Xu Chen's heart.

Seeing this silent scene, Xu Chen couldn't help but miss Uncle Tai Song Wuji, if his old man was present, Uncle Tai would definitely be able to gain insight into the hidden mysteries here.

But at this moment, he could only ask everyone's opinions with questions: "What should we do next?"

There was another silence, and everyone turned their eyes to Moli.

Mo Li couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "It's really depressing, I know it's a trap, but we don't seem to have any other choice than to do what this strange old man said." ”

Except for Xu Chen, everyone else was as depressed as Mo Li, only he said fearlessly: "Then what are we waiting for, no matter what kind of Longtan Tiger's Den it is, let's go and break through!"

Mo Li smiled: "Even if you lose your life because of this, isn't Brother Xian afraid?"

"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid!, but Brother Mo said that this is the only way to leave, and we have no choice!"

"Haha. Mo Li's amber eyes showed a look of appreciation. "You're such a good man, in that case, let's go, and see what the hell is waiting for us in the core area of Huaijiang Mountain. ”

There was no objection from everyone, and the matter was decided.

Time passed little by little, Xu Chen and the others climbed several mountains in a row, and when they walked south, there was no road ahead.

But this did not bother them, Xu Chen stepped on the half-human-high miscanthus grass, and took the lead to continue the south, he said as he walked: "If we still can't find the tree by the time it gets dark, we can just find a place to rest." ”

"I think so too, it's time to maintain your strength, don't get into a fight when it's critical. Binghu said with tiredness in his voice, he hadn't even slept well for seven days because of nervousness.

As they spoke, they heard the familiar and unpleasant crow-like cry in the sky ahead.

"Could it be that Qin Yuan is calling?" Xu Chen looked up suspiciously, the vast sky was cloudless, but he didn't even see a single bird feather.

But the ice hoof suddenly became nervous and said, "This damn bird, it's a devil from hell, watching us all the time!"

Mo Li said lightly: "Don't be nervous, even if it is sent by the strange old man to spy on us, at least until we arrive at the core area of Huaijiang Mountain, it will not attack us." ”

"Hmph, are so many of us still afraid of a bird? It's not the old guy who can't be killed!" muttered the ice hoof, and continued with the group.

After walking some distance, the Qin Yuan screamed again, and everyone looked up, but it was still nowhere to be seen, as if it was hidden in the air, making it difficult to find it.

Mo Li suddenly stopped, and muttered, "This time, the bird's call seems to be missing." ”

Xu Chen didn't expect Mo Li to be so careful, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "What does it mean to be one less?"

"Last time it screamed seven times in a row, but this time it only screamed six. ”

Xu Chen laughed out loud and said, "It's likely that it just screams randomly, does Brother Mo think that this bird's call has any special meaning?"

"I don't know. Mo Li shook his head and said thoughtfully: "I hope that when it screams again, it won't be only five sounds." ”

After everyone walked a little longer, the invisible Qin Yuan screamed again, this time Xu Chen deliberately paid attention, he counted with his fingers, and found that as Mo Li said, the bird really only chirped five times and stopped talking.

This time, everyone was surprised, and they all set their eyes on Moli.

Mo Li smiled faintly and said quite confidently: "It seems that this Qin Yuan is leading the way for us." ”

"Lead the way?" Xu Chen asked puzzledly: "We didn't go in the wrong direction, why do we want it to lead the way? Besides, every time it calls, it will scream less, will it only scream in the end?"

"Brother Xu, you're right, when it only screams, we should have reached our destination. ”

Xu Chen analyzed it carefully and found that what Mo Li said really made some sense. At this moment, everyone's tiredness was swept away, and the speed of rushing couldn't help but speed up a lot.

Along the way, the Qin Yuan called a few times every once in a while, Xu Chen silently counted it, and sure enough, every time he called, there would be one less.

When it only screamed, they came to the top of a towering mountain, where there was no grass and sharp stones that were sticking out of the ground.

Xu Chen couldn't help but be surprised: "Where is there any crooked neck willow tree, we have been fooled." ”

"You can't say that, Brother Xu, you come and see here. Mo Li stood on the southernmost stone of the mountain, beckoning him with one hand and pointing down the mountain with the other.

Everyone hurriedly came to the place where Mo Li was standing, looked down and suddenly showed shocked expressions.

At a distance of a foot under their feet, an old willow tree grew out of the cliff, and it stretched out a few branches crookedly, looking like a huge green umbrella from a distance.

Xu Chen said in surprise: "It actually grew here, if it weren't for Brother Mo's sharp eyes, we would really be able to neglect this place." ”

While speaking, Xu Chen had already seen that there was a basin-sized hole at the junction of the cliff and the thick tree roots, and secretly thought that the bluestone that the old man said should be in this hole, and he was in a hurry and jumped down lightly without consulting everyone, and the person stood firmly on the trunk of this old willow tree.

When Xu Chen bent down and stretched out his hand to explore the hole, he really touched a rough thing, took it out and took a look, and sure enough, it was a palm-sized cyan stone with mud on the surface, as the old man said.

Although he got this stone, Xu Chen was a little disappointed, he thought that this stone would be a rare thing such as a gemstone, but in fact it was an ordinary stone.

Xu Chen looked at it for a long time and didn't find anything special about this stone, so he returned to the cliff and handed the stone to Mo Li.

Mo Li was much more careful than Xu Chen, and after observing the bluestone in his hand for a while, he found that a certain place in the stone seemed to faintly reveal a hint of dark red.

This unexpected discovery made him stare at him, and he quickly wiped the mud covering it with his cuffs, and as the dirt was wiped off by him, a bird's beak pattern appeared in his eyes.

Then he wiped the plaster from the stone surface, and finally the whole bird appeared, with a red beak and red eyes.

There was no need for Mo Li to remind him, everyone recognized it as a Qinyuan bird, because it was painted lifelike, and it was almost exactly the same as the Qinyuan that rested on the old man's shoulder.

Xu Chen asked, "Now that the stone has been found, what should we do next?"

No one could answer his question, for the old man had not heard anything more after he had told him where the stone was.

Mo Li suddenly said: "Look, is this bird in the painting calling?"

Xu Chen looked down and found that Qin Yuan in the painting was indeed flying high with his mouth wide open, so he couldn't help but nod and said, "Brother Mo, do you see something famous?"

"I think the sound of birds may be a very important hint, if we can guess the mystery contained in this, maybe we can reach the heart of what the strange old man said, right?"

"Is it so mysterious as you said?" Xu Chen didn't care, and then said jokingly: "Qin Yuan, who led the way, called seven times in a row, why don't you also use this stone to hit the willow tree below seven times?"

But it was precisely this joke that made Mo Li's mind suddenly flash in inspiration, and then he stretched out his hand and slapped Qin Yuan on the stone seven times in a row.

"Brother Mo, I'm just joking, did you really do it?" As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Chen's eyes widened.

Not only him, but everyone present was surprised to see that this stone turned red in Mo Li's hands.

Inspired Mo Li then slapped the stone with his hand six more times, and this time the stone changed color again, and the whole body was blue.

Then there are five, four, three, two, one, and every time Mo Li finishes shooting, the stone changes to another color in his hand, and by the time the last slap is finished, it is as black as ink.

At this time, the stone exploded in his hand without warning, and the startled Mo Li quickly withdrew his hand, and the person retreated straight to the back, and the others also retreated with him, thinking that they had fallen for the old man's trick.

Just as everyone was looking around with their eyes wide open, beware of the sudden arrival of danger, a transparent door suddenly opened in the space in front of them, and the inside of the door was so dazzling that it was impossible to see the situation inside.

Could it be that this is the living gate hidden in the divine array? Is it possible that people will be able to escape as soon as they walk in? Xu Chen hesitated, and he asked everyone tentatively, "Are we going in?"

Seeing that Mo Li nodded affirmatively, Xu Chen turned his heart sideways and took the lead in raising his legs and walking in.

Xu Chen was surprised to find himself in a valley, where the birds were singing and fragrant, and birds flying in the air from time to time, and there was a vibrant appearance everywhere, which was in stark contrast to the lifeless peaks they were in before.

Looking back, all the monsters were standing behind them, their faces full of surprise like Xu Chen, and the transparent door had mysteriously disappeared.

Xu Chen opened his mouth and asked, "Are we safe to escape?"

"No, we're still in Huaijiang Mountain, and this is probably the core of what that weird old man said. Mo Li shook his head and pointed to the right front.

Looking in the direction of his finger, Xu Chen found that there were three strange characters engraved on the smooth rock wall, they were very ancient characters, and Xu Chen didn't recognize them at all.

But Yan Changsheng read these three words: "Huai Jiangshan." Strange to say, when he pronounced those three words, they disappeared from the rock wall as if they had never been there.

Binghu had already taken out the map in his arms and checked it against the terrain in front of him, and then pointed to the map and said happily to everyone: "This is the real Huaijiang Mountain, it is exactly the same as the situation depicted in the map!"

"Really?" Xu Chen leaned over to take a look, and suddenly fell silent. Because he saw that the location of the Ice Bird Finger on the map was a valley, and it was almost indistinguishable from the terrain in front of him.

"Look again!" the excited Ice Hoof pointed to the side of the valley, which was another valley, the mysterious valley where the Lang Yu trees grew as the Ice Hoov had spoken before.

Xu Chen couldn't help but shout excitedly: "Then what are we waiting for, hurry up and go to another valley to find Lang Yu Fruit!"

After saying that, he took the lead and rushed forward, but was pulled back by Mo Li.

At this critical moment, Mo Li showed the composure and calmness that he should have as a general, and he said calmly: "Don't worry, it's not too late for me to verify a judgment in my heart before I go on the road." ”

After speaking, he moved his muscles and bones, and his body suddenly turned into a golden light and rushed straight into the sky.

"The spell is completely unrestrained, which means that we are out of the scope of the divine array!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the previous seven days were really embarrassing, and now they finally removed the big stone in their hearts.

Xu Chen said with a smile: "The old man didn't lie to us, this is the core area of Huaijiang Mountain that we are going to reach!"

"I don't think so. Yan Changsheng shook his head and said, "Have you forgotten what the old man said?" He said that we have to find a way to break the formation in the core area before the divine array will disappear. But in the current situation, it seems that we don't need to look for it at all, and the power of the divine array will automatically disappear. ”

Xu Chen was speechless for a moment, he suddenly realized that what the old man said seemed to be half-truths and half-truths, and he couldn't fully believe it at all.

"Let's send a few people to the valley in front of us first, and then we'll decide whether to move forward or not. Mo Li, who had fallen into shape, said.

"Well, we don't know the situation here, maybe there is a danger hidden somewhere, and it is very necessary to investigate first. Yan Changsheng agreed with him.

Hearing the word "danger", Xu Chen's face changed, but then he showed a very resolute look, opened his mouth and said, "Okay, let me go to explore the wind, you are here and wait for me to come back." ”

"No, I'm not at ease when I go alone. Mo Li said: "Let the ice hoofs go with you, be careful on the road, and come back to inform us as soon as there is any movement." ”

The ice hoofs showed their original form and carried Xu Chen on their backs, flying directly into the air.

Since spells are not restricted, he certainly wouldn't choose to go overland. When flying to the destination, you can see all the movements below, and if there is anything unusual on the road, you must not be able to hide from his keen eyes.

Xu Chen stood on the back of the ice hoop and looked around, there was indeed another valley in front of him, but when the ice hoop brought him to the top of this new valley, the two of them were surprised again.

Because this valley is completely different from the previous one, there are no flowers and trees in the valley, but there is a small village.

"Could it be that there is a problem with your map?" Xu Chen once again doubted the accuracy of the map in Binghu's hand.

"Unlikely, the terrain around the valley is depicted exactly the same, why is there only one village in it?"

"I don't think so. Yan Changsheng shook his head and said, "Have you forgotten what the old man said?" He said that we have to find a way to break the formation in the core area before the divine array will disappear. But in the current situation, it seems that we don't need to look for it at all, and the power of the divine array will automatically disappear. ”
