Chapter 64: I was pitted by a group
Early in the morning, Xiao Wei had a plan to go to Xianshan, but he didn't set off until noon, for the simple reason that he didn't know the way......
Xiao Wei didn't know the way to Xianshan, and asked the old man, obviously his senile dementia would not point out the right way to himself.
I don't know the way, even if I am secretly sold, I guess I don't know it.
Moreover, looking at the fierce and vicious appearance of these travelers, their situation at this time is obviously not good.
Heaven did not favor Xiao Wei and his party, it began to rain from the day before Arima set off, it was sunny for a while, and it began to rain again in the afternoon, Xiao Wei sat on the horse, with the hat prepared before leaving, bathed in this piece of weeping, dripping rain.
This convoy is the convoy of the Baili family, that is, the rich second-generation family who looks very dragged and damages Xiao Wei like his grandson.
Come to think of it, I have to thank him, otherwise I don't even know the direction of Xianshan.
The farther the convoy went, the closer it got to the twilight forest road, the more difficult it became, and they did not carry people, but the necessary food and water for the long journey.
The closer you get to the Twilight Mountains, the more dangerous it is, and you can't even drink water easily in this Twilight Forest, and if you are not careful, you will be poisoned to death, and the medicine will be in vain.
Mixed with the sound of the wind blowing the trees, the rain occasionally became turbulent, like the waves of the Baili River at night, stirring the wind and rain suddenly.
In such ghost weather, Xiao Wei's convoy traveled for two days and finally came to the edge of the Arima Forest, and in half a day, it would be possible to reach the destination of Xianjie Mountain. The weather is starting to clear up and people's mood is starting to get a lot better.
Along the way, the heavens were not beautiful, and it did make Xiao Wei and his party suffer, but the wind and clouds changed, but the scenery along the twilight mountains was still pleasing to the eye in the rain, and it was overwhelming, and it was difficult to take in the view.
Under the newly cleared sky, there was a quiet and stirring mood, accompanied by the chirping of green toads, and occasionally there was a sonorous sound when something touched an object, like the sound of metal colliding, and like a chain running to attack the enemy's army, but no orders were heard, only the sound of men and horses marching.
Qingfeng independence, the shade of the trees, the vast river, the sky of all things, there is no sound in the four places, the sound is from the woods, nature is really magical, everyone is immersed in this beautiful scenery, can't help but slow down the speed of travel, and walk, and view.
Just as the people were pleasing to the eye, suddenly several arrows with strange feathers flew out of the depths of the forest, and the arrows instantly sank into the chest cavity of a horse, and the rider of the horse had no time to dodge, and the man who fell to the ground fell down fiercely.
When the man stood up, his horse was silent, and black blood flowed from the horse's arrow, and the arrow was rubbed with poison.
"It's not good, it's another mountain fight, everyone hurry up and get off the horse and follow me!" an extremely old man with a slight rural accent shouted in a low and powerful voice.
Although the voice is old, it has a voice full of execution. Xiao Wei followed the voice and looked at it, it turned out to be the captain of the team, an old man over seventy years old, with prominent cheekbones, and a very cultivated appearance.
The old man who led the group shouted to stop the group, and all dismounted quickly approached a pre-arranged camp. Xiao Wei also hurriedly dismounted and followed the flow of people to run forward, but before he could walk, a place similar to a military camp appeared in front of Xiao Wei.
This camp is built on a high elevation, you can see the surrounding environment clearly, although it is not big, it is complete, sawing piles to block horses, rolling wood and stones, it looks dilapidated and built a long time ago, in order to facilitate the response to the emergencies that often occur nearby, it is specially arranged to arrange such a place for the Baili family convoy to take refuge.
Xiao Wei's team of centaurs had just entered the camp, looking into the distance from a height, accompanied by the not very clear sound of fighting, a man-beast battle was taking place not far from them.
A small mountain village was being besieged by a group of orcs, and Xiao Wei could vaguely distinguish that those orcs were transformed hounds spirit beasts, a special kind of spirit beasts.
Generally, spirit beasts can only transform into adults when they reach a very high level, but this hunting dog spirit beast is different, it is usually similar to the shape of a jackal, but after eating a person or other spirit beasts, it can accumulate a certain amount of immortal power, and it can transform into an orc.
However, this transformation is only temporary, and the IQ of the Hound Spirit Beast is not like that of other high-level spirit beasts, which increases its IQ by transforming into a humanoid form.
The level of the hound's spirit beast will vary with the degree of immortal power accumulation, but the highest is only the two-star top, and there are very few hound spirit beasts that have passed the two-star level, which is also the flaw that they cannot advance to become a three-star spirit beast.
Seeing a man-beast battle going on in front of him, Xiao Wei looked at the old man who led the team, this old man's immortal power is quite strong, although he is not as pure as Liu Anpei, he can still be cultivated among the top immortal masters, if he makes a move, he will definitely be able to get those mountain people who are being attacked out of the sea of suffering.
But the old man was like watching a movie, he was very engrossed, and the others were even more anxious, without the slightest intention of helping.
"Are we just going to watch? Those people will be killed by the Hound Spirit Beast. Xiao Wei pinched a handful of sweat for those mountain people, and he was very tired of watching these people around him.
"What do I do, I'm old, and the good things that are righteous and brave should be done by young people. The old man said with great disdain, what is the matter with him.
Xiao Wei was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding why these people were so indifferent, not only the old man who led the team, but even the others also had an indifferent expression.
Xiao Wei understands that he can't live like a martyr, and he is in a hurry to tell everyone about your misfortune. One day, you have to taste the ups and downs yourself, you have to live a long life by yourself, and what you have experienced is a story in the eyes of others.
Growing up is an isolated process, and only by working hard to become strong can you be on your own and not live on others.
Xiao Wei knew that even if the old man was already old, as a top immortal master, dealing with a group of miscellaneous hunting dog spirit beasts was basically a matter of being caught, but if the old man didn't make a move, he couldn't do anything else except send him to death.
The fighting outside the camp intensified, and several strong men in the village quickly picked up the hunting dog spirit beasts that had just been killed, and wiped their necks cleanly with daggers in their hands.
Blood spurted out, and several hounds that were not yet fully dead convulsed and let out ugly screams. A few slightly weak mountain people next to them took the hemp rope very skillfully, hung up a few hunting dogs and spirit beasts that were constantly spurting blood from their necks, and hung them high on the fence of the village used for protection.
As soon as these few were resolved, more than a dozen hunting dog spirit evil beasts pounced, and the level of these hunting dog spirit evil beasts was very low, and some of them had not even reached the one-star low level, but there were many of them, and the villagers were very unbearable.
I don't know how long this battle has been going on, some of the corpses of some spirit beasts on the fence have been dead for several days, some have turned into a dried corpse, some of the hair has been stripped clean, revealing bright red flesh and blood, some maggots crawling on it, and some have been eaten by maggots and shed their muscles and bones, full of flesh and blood*.
In the village, the mountain people were also hit hard, and several old people and children were shivering and curled up on the edge of the rows of broken fences, their bodies were full of dried and blackened blood, I don't know if it was the hunting dog spirit beast or their own.
Several young strong men who were still fighting bloodily were also covered with wounds, accompanied by violent limb movements, making the sound of muscle tearing. Behind him, several women dressed in very simple clothes were treating the wounds of two of the strong men who had been seriously injured by the bitten by the Hound Spirit Evil Beast, and judging by the extent of their injuries, if they were not treated in time, they would not have survived the evening.
Xiao Wei looked at this conflict between humans and beasts in surprise, and wanted to help those helpless mountain people, but he couldn't protect himself at all, and he could only change the taste of the hound spirit beast when he went out.
"Don't worry about them, after a while those hound spirit beasts will retreat, these beasts are very smart, they plan to use wheel warfare, and consume these strong men alive. After beating one batch and changing another, this group of brutes is really smart. You know why the Hound Spirit Beast attacked these mountain people, because they have the function of humans after they transform, haha, to put it bluntly, it is to reproduce offspring. The old man in charge of the team smiled lewdly, and his face showed treachery and * that did not match his age.
It's not about oneself, it's hanging high, and when people have no sympathy for their own kind, what's the difference between them and animals.
Xiao Wei asked incomprehensibly: "Do the hound spirit beasts have to eat people when they reproduce their offspring?" This is no different from other wild beasts, we should go over and kill them and save those mountain people." ”
The old man sneered very much: "What should not be, hehe, there are countless villages like this in the Twilight Forest, I am not a living Bodhisattva, and I can't save it." By the way, hehe, after these hunting dog spirit beasts become humans, if they are successfully mated with human women, they will give birth to better offspring, and if these women are snatched back by them, they will be caressed and caressed, haha, that scene...... Oooh, that's what these hounds are attacking these people. ”
The old man who led the team became more and more energetic, and as he spoke, he pointed contemptuously at the unclothed women not far away, and the greed in his eyes seemed to have turned into a hounding spirit beast.
Xiao Wei had never heard of such an earth-shattering thing in which humans and beasts could be hybridized, and he looked at the war not far away with great fear and surprise. My heart was filled with pity for these mountain people.
"Looking at your nervous appearance, don't worry, neither the mountain people nor the spirit beasts dare to approach us, and this is thanks to the protection of the Baili family. The old man looked worried at Xiao Huan, and he didn't know that Xiao Huan was worried about those mountain people, and thought that he was greedy for life and afraid of death, and he couldn't help but feel pity for this immortal emperor.
Xiao Wei didn't pay attention to the opinion of the old man who led the team, but thought in his heart: I was probably bitten by a snake once, and I was afraid of the well rope for ten years. But they were destined to find that the snake was no longer there, and even the well rope was fake. The metaphor is inappropriate, but it makes sense.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for a piercing howl to come from the valley, which was the order for the hound spirit beasts to retreat, and all the hound spirit beasts stopped attacking, they threw down the corpses of their companions and evacuated to the valley. The mountain people shouted a short-lived victory and repacked their stockades.
The dead are gone, the living are buried, and if the living go, who cares.
"Those mountain people, I pack their tickets, they won't survive tomorrow night, haha, a bunch of stupid savages. The old man was silent, as if he had inadvertently said something that should not be said.
Xiao Wei was still worried about these mountain people, and he was still unwilling to deal with these people who would not be saved, but he didn't know that a conspiracy laid out for him was approaching him.
The clouds are high and the sky is small, and the water falls out
Originally, I could have reached the Immortal Mountain today, but due to the delay on the road, in order to avoid the hounds, spirit beasts, and other unnecessary troubles, the convoy of people began to move slowly.
Now, if they want to reach the fairy mountain as soon as possible, they can only walk along the river, and come to a place where the river is tens of meters wide, and a hidden bridge is crossed, and on both sides of the bridge are solid dirt roads that extend into the dense forest, and are crushed by countless comings and goings.
It seems that the days are deep, and I don't know where it leads. On both sides of the bank stand several civil structure of the arrow tower, although it has been in disrepair for a long time but still has a lot of lethality, the closer you get to the shore, the more you can see the shape of the bridge, the bridge plate is built on two leather cables, this is a suspension bridge.
It's very simple, but it makes the bridge crosser look creepy.
On the other side of the bridge is a green hill shaped like a barrier. Behind the green hill is the place to go. The two mountains are like two arms sticking out, and the pincers are fiercely clamping a flat land within a radius of several miles, and the high pavilion is sitting on the flat ground, and the fairy world mountain is faintly visible. The mountains are steep and out of reach.
Everyone cautiously walked from the suspension bridge to the other side, and when they reached the opposite side, it was equivalent to stepping into the fairy mountain, so they didn't have to live so fearfully.
But just when everyone was a little relaxed, the bridge board suddenly broke under the feet of Xiao Wei, who was walking on the bridge no different from others, and Xiao Wei couldn't grasp his balance and fell into the turbulent river in an instant.
The moment Xiao Wei fell into the icy river, he saw that the people on the bridge were shouting for help to him, but no one really went into the water to save him, and the old man who was the leader of the top immortal master couldn't move, his face was completely black, and he couldn't see any expression.
......
I don't know how long I drifted, Xiao Wei was finally stopped by a tree root, Xiao Wei groped along the root, but suddenly felt his head hit a hard wall, and a bag appeared on his head instantly.
I wiped it, and now even the air is bullying myself. Xiao Wei was instantly furious.
