About an hour later, the four of them climbed through the dense forest shrouded in dense fog and climbed to the top of a relatively flat and wide mountain.

The mountain stretches north and south, with steep cliffs on both sides.

The summit is dry and water-scarce, the soil is poor and gravelly, with only one pine tree standing proudly on the edge of the cliff on the west side. Other than that, there are no other trees in the vicinity, but the grass is waist-high and lush.

Mu Liu calculated the time and knew that it was past noon, but the thick fog in the Misty Valley had not yet lifted. The lower terrain is floating in the fog and cannot be seen clearly.

Chu Hanjiang was busy wiping his sweat, worried about the grass and wood slurry on his clothes, and he felt very uncomfortable.

Meng Jiang stood on the edge of the cliff and looked east, and said, "Yunqi, clairvoyant mirror." ”

Changkong Yunqi received the order, hurriedly unwrapped the package, took out the clairvoyant mirror and handed it to Meng Jiang.

And Mu Liu asked Changkong Yunqi for a glass bottle, walked to Meng Jiang's side and squatted down, picked a few ordinary-looking small blue fruits from a pile of inconspicuous low bushes, and put them into the glass bottle.

Meng Jiang was puzzled and asked what Mu Liu was.

Mu Liu threw the bottle to Meng Jiang and explained: "This is a variant of Wusour Gastrodia Fruit, adding this when refining Bigu Dan will have a miraculous effect." Maybe someone needs to use the gastrodia fruit, we can exchange it. ”

"Or are you thoughtful. ”

Meng Jiang couldn't help but look at Changkong Yunqi, who was squatting on the ground and sorting out his bags, and Chu Hanjiang, who was doing nothing next to him, shook his head and sighed, and said, "They are all born from famous families like you, but this gap is too big." ”

Mu Liu smiled, took the clairvoyant mirror from Meng Jiang's hand, and looked into the distance, his expression suddenly became very heavy.

Meng Jiang stood beside him and said, "The Blur Valley is bigger than I imagined, and I can't see the edge with a clairvoyant mirror. ”

Chu Hanjiang said: "The enchantment has expanded the Misty Valley. ”

At this moment, the howl of some kind of giant beast suddenly came from the bottom of the cliff on the west side, and the sound of flapping its wings into the air, from far to near, very huge.

The behemoth hadn't yet appeared, but a disgusting rancid smell was already in the air.

"Hide!!"

Mu Liu recognized the breath rising from the bottom of the mountain, and a terrifying figure appeared in his mind, as if facing a great enemy, so he lowered his voice and exclaimed.

In his hurry, he only had time to pull Meng Jiang beside him to fall down in the hollow pothole, burying his body in the hay, and at the same time secretly praying that Chu Hanjiang and Changkong Yunqi could hide themselves in time.

Two breaths later, a pair of large dark red fleshy wings swept over the top of the mountain, obscuring the sky and the sun.

The sky was dark, casting a broad shadow on the ground, shaped like a bat, but with an extra thick tail.

It may be that something is noticed, and the shadow lingers on the top of the mountain.

After that, he landed, searched everywhere, and curled up the pine tree that grew on the edge of the cliff with his long tail, uprooted it, and threw it into the ground.

Meng Jiang wanted to take a sneak look, but was suppressed by Mu Liu and couldn't raise his head.

Mu Liu held back his breath and secretly operated the Chaos Magic Technique to isolate his breath, and the cold qi emanating from his body also successfully covered up Meng Jiang's body fragrance and breath.

At the same time, he used his eyes to stop Meng Jiang from making any moves, so as not to expose Xingzang, alarm the murderous object above his head, and invite death.

A pillar of incense passed, leaving Mu Liu's nervous and restless beast with nothing, so he roared and rolled up his tail, brushed Mu Liu and Meng Jiang's hiding place, flapped his giant wings and rushed up to the clouds, swept the low-hanging clouds, and flew south.

The light of day fell on the top of the mountain again, and after confirming that the crisis was resolved, Mu Liu let go of his hands and got up from the ground, just in time to see Chu Hanjiang squatting on the edge of the cliff and vomiting non-stop.

Mu Liu felt very fortunate that Chu Hanjiang and Changkong Yunqi were still alive.

At this time, Meng Jiang also stood up, tidied up his clothes a little, looked at the black shadow in the distance, and asked, "What the hell is that?"

Mu Liu explained, "The Sky Survey Winged Beast, a common flying mount in ancient times, is now almost extinct. The Sky Survey Winged Beast that just flew over our heads has been polluted by the Spirits, and has been taken away by the Soul Beasts, but it seems that it has not yet completely completed the fusion. ”

Meng Jiang asked, "What will happen if it is completely integrated?"

"Theoretically, after being fully fused, it will have the characteristics of both a soul beast and a resentful spirit, and evolve into an immortal thing. ”

"You're so familiar with it, have you seen it before?"

Mu Liu nodded and said, "I saw such a Sky Survey Winged Beast in the Wounded Qi Forest, and after seeing it catch the Sky Devouring Wolf and the Taipan Demon Spider King, I tore them to pieces alive and ate them alive. ”

Meng Jiang gasped and said, "The Sky Devouring Wolf and the Taipan Demon Spider King are both elite-level soul beasts, how can such a murderous thing appear here?" Could it be that ...... This is what Senior Brother is talking about?"

Mu Liu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "If it had the ability of a high-level soul beast, it would be impossible for the four of us to be alive now. ”

Meng Jiang thought about it, and then walked behind Chu Hanjiang, who was still retching, and patted him lightly on the back, wanting him to feel better.

But it backfired, her gentle pat frightened Chu Hanjiang, and he was almost frightened and fell off the cliff.

"I'm sorry, are you okay?" Meng Jiang smiled and apologized.

Chu Hanjiang's face turned pale, staring at Meng Jiang and wanting to speak, and the words in his heart were self-evident.

Mu Liu asked, "How did you escape the search of the Sky Survey Winged Beast?"

Chu Hanjiang calmed down, wiped the stains on the corners of his mouth with the handkerchief he carried with him, and said, "It's Yunqi, his night saved us." ”

Mu Liu and Meng Jiang both looked at the companion who had been ignored, and they didn't expect him to be able to cast a void spell.

Sky Yunqi replied shyly, "I have practiced this spell for many years. ”

"Thankfully, you took the time to practice the night. Chu Hanjiang thanked the sky and clouds.

Mu Liu's gaze fell on the empty space, and he didn't speak, not knowing what he was thinking.

Meng Jiang took the clairvoyant mirror from his hand, looked around, took a look around, memorized the general topography of the Misty Valley in the horizon, and deduced the next course of action according to Mu Liu's previous analysis of soul beasts and rare grasses.

After that, the four of them got together to discuss and reached some consensus.

Meng Jiang pointed to the south and said, "Let's go south along this ridge, go to the bamboo forest in the southeast, and then go to the river on the periphery of the bamboo forest." Keep your eyes open and don't let go of anything of value in your path. ”

Chu Hanjiang and Changkong Yunqi couldn't stop nodding, as if they had regarded Meng Jiang as the boss of the team, and they obeyed her without any objections.

Mu Liu admired Meng Jiang's ability and courage, and felt admiration from the bottom of his heart, and praised: "You will become a great general." ”

Meng Jiang smiled and responded humorously: "Don't think that if you are an apostle of the Children of Runes, you can just pat my ass." ”

"Haha, apart from my brother, and His Majesty the Pope, I have never seriously praised anyone else. ”

Without Meng Jiang's orders, Mu Liu had already taken the first step and explored the way forward.

Meng Jiang hurriedly followed behind and said, "Joining the Night Vigil Legion has been my dream since I was a child. After graduation, I will still return to my hometown and guard the Great Wall. ”
