51. Deep
Because of the temporary Gado Marco and Xiaoting, Snickers was afraid that their supplies would be insufficient, and the defensive tools they prepared were not enough, so they decided to postpone it for one night, so that they could fully prepare before setting off, according to the guidance of Snickers, a professional inverter, Jiajing and they purchased a lot of emergency supplies, and then went back to the hotel to rest for one night, preparing to leave early the next morning.
The sky was slightly bright, and Jiajing handed over the giant armored beast and the vehicle to the inn for safekeeping. Due to the huge amount of food eaten by the giant armored beast, Jiajing had to pay two more gold coins, and the person in charge of the inn was willing to agree to help Jiajing take care of it for a month.
As for the mercenary mission, Jiajing also instructed the inn to keep an eye on it, and if someone from the guild came, he would help leave a message and tell him to wait for him to come back.
The one guarding the Nile Bridge happened to be the team leader who took Jiajing and them to Chunmiao City, and this time they met, naturally they let Jiajing and his party pass without any interrogation.
The Alps as the eastern barrier of Athena, the steep place needless to say, the average altitude is as high as thousands of meters, the elevation of the main peak Fuji is more than 7,000 meters, the mountain peak is covered with snow all the year round, the cold wind is bitter, ordinary people are difficult to set foot in, legend has it that there are dragons and super monsters haunted it, it is very dangerous.
There are many trails into the mountains, and near the Nile, you can occasionally see hordes of mercenaries and adventurers.
Some large mercenary groups numbered more than 100 people, and they carried many fine steel cages, obviously preparing to enter the deep mountains to capture demonic beasts.
In order to avoid attracting attention, Snickers chose a winding trail twenty-five kilometers from the Nile.
He and Luo Luoya had already broken into the periphery of the Imperial Tomb, but at that time, seeing that the periphery of the Imperial Mausoleum alone was so dangerous that they almost lost their lives, so they didn't dare to go deeper.
Although he retreated, Snickers was a tomb dwarf who was like a tomb, and he was reluctant to give up this ancient tomb, which was very likely to be the real imperial tomb of the Enma Emperor, so he turned back to Chunmiao City and hid in the mercenary guild, originally wanting to find some powerful but small mercenary organizations to cooperate. But after seeing Jiajing's powerful martial arts and Claude's powerful magic, he had the idea of cooperating with them on the spot.
Snickers and Roroa had been exploring the Imperial Tomb for a long time, and they were already very familiar with the path up the mountain, and they rode huge mammoths to open the way in front, and stepped the path that was originally only for horses into a wide avenue, Jiajing and Claude, Marco, and Xiaoting followed closely in the center of the queue behind, and the Punar brothers escorted at the back of the queue.
Despite his familiarity with mountain trails, Snickers was cautious in his movements.
There are many hidden dangers everywhere in the deep mountains and wild forests, and the poisonous insects and poisonous snakes that will appear from time to time at that time are impossible to prevent, and the birds of prey and monsters foraging in the mountains and forests have killed countless mercenaries and adventurers, and those monsters that are used to hunting in groups like the most like to attack teams like Jiajing.
Fortunately, the mountain road they copied was quite safe, and there was no major attack on the way up the mountain, and what made people laugh and cry was that a hungry and faint crappy black bear actually dared to attack Jiajing and others, and it was done by Punal and Punavi after a while.
Kasia's bear clan Bill is not related to the wild bears in the mountains and forests, just like humans and orangutans, although they usually do not hunt bears, but if the wild bears provoke them, they will not be polite.
Later, a poisonous snake with thick wrists rushed out of the branch on the side, bit Punavi's calf, and was split in two by Punawi.
However, although the Storm Bear Warrior was strong, he couldn't withstand the fierce poison of the poisonous snake, and then his head was hot and dizzy, but fortunately, the team had a genius pharmacist Marco there, who immediately squeezed out the poisonous blood in his body, and then gave him anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving medicine, which was no big problem.
The Imperial Mausoleum is located on the south side of Mt. Fuji, backed by dangerous peaks, facing a large green forest in the south, and further into the distance, there are two hills with a moorland bulging, like a sea of two giant turtles with sharp points, looking down towards Mt. Fuji.
A hundred-meter-wide waterfall cascades down from the summit, and I don't know how many kilometers it stretches. If you look up and look forward to it, it is like a curtain falling on the edge of the sky, white flowers, magnificent, the sound is as loud as thunder, the splash of water quickly drills into the mist that fills the mountains, like a dream, beautiful like a fairyland, Jiajing can't help but take a deep breath, suddenly feel relaxed and happy, the whole body from the inside to the outside can not help but vibrate.
Snickers explains that this waterfall is one of the main sources of the rushing Nile.
Under the waterfall naturally chiseled out a bottomless huge pool, the pool water is turquoise, reflecting the blue of the sky, when the waterfall falls, the ripples stirred up ripple one by one, the sunrise golden light projected over, as if to the turquoise lake covered with layers of golden scales.
Many rare birds and beasts drank water and frolicked on the edge of the waterhole, and the occasional fierce demonic beast would frighten all the rare birds and beasts into scattering and fleeing.
Jiajing and his party stood on a jutting boulder above the pool.
Snickers pointed to the two high protruding hills in the shape of giant turtles in the distance, and his eyes were full of longing: "That is called the dragon's lair of ten thousand beasts, it is a good cave of the next class in the world, those two giant tortoises are the representatives of all living beings, towering Mount Fuji, a metaphor for the big man sleeping in the imperial tomb, among the followers of the Yama Emperor, there are many Central Plains monks who are proficient in feng shui, and the resting place they chose for the Yama Emperor must be a feng shui treasure cave with an excellent location." In the Feng Shui of the Central Plains, this waterfall that flows straight down precisely represents the divine dragon that is admired by all the people in the Central Plains territory, and only the divine dragon is worthy of the illustrious identity of the Enma Emperor. ”
The word "Central Plains", Jiajing has heard them talk about it more than once, and moreover, the highly admired divine beast of the Central Plains people is called the Divine Dragon, which is also consistent with the customs of his place, Jiajing can't help but secretly decide: If the conditions allow in the future, I have to go to the Central Plains to see if I have returned to the ancient period......
Snickers didn't know what Jiajing was thinking, his tone suddenly became urgent, pointing to a cliff on the mountain peak that was as smooth as a mirror, difficult for birds to cross, and apes could not climb, and took a sharp breath of deep mountain gas, and his eyes lit up with excitement: "There are ten thousand beasts surrendering in front, there is a talisman dragon on the left, the back is against the giant peak, and the deep pool of Longjing full of spiritual energy at the foot, there is no mistake, there is the place where all the spiritual energy gathers, it must be the real place where the Tomb of the Great Emperor of the Yama Demon is located! If my guess is correct, the spiritual energy gathered in that spiritual cave will definitely be able to protect his body from decay for thousands of years." ”
Snickers suddenly punched his fist and shouted in joy, "We may be able to see the true face of the Enma Emperor inside!"
