9. Go deep into the mountains, danger lurks

One Qi Accumulation Pill condenses two muscle groups, and it is worthy of being a treasure with miraculous effects on the solid Six Realms, and the medicinal effect is outstanding.

Qu Tao is very satisfied, in this state, he has more confidence in tomorrow's journey.

It was late at night, and the surroundings were quiet, and the small sounds outside the city had become blurry when they reached his ears, but they added a touch of coolness to the deep night.

"So, just wait for tomorrow. ”

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, before the big day began, Qu Tao had already gotten up.

Without waking up his aunt and little sister, he glanced at his uncle in the room, and after hastily eating something, he was ready to go.

"There may not be any people from the Wang family or the Tiger Gang around the courtyard, if it were me, in this case, I would definitely send someone to squat here, and it seems that I have to be careful to leave from other places. ”

He came to the back of the house, climbed over the wall, and quietly left the back street.

There were many ways to get into the mountains, but he chose the most remote one, and climbed along the steep mountain path, which looked like an ape jumping in the forest from a distance.

He expected that the two people from the Tiger Gang and the Wang family must be looking for him, so he went around in a big circle, went out from the west gate, touched the east mountain from the west mountain, and came to the place where the other four people must pass and waited quietly.

At this time, the light of the day had not long been brightened, and the night had just faded, and the sky was white, and the light of the sun shone on the earth, and the shadows and strangeness hidden under the darkness of the moonlight were all gone.

In the late autumn and near winter mornings, accompanied by morning dew, and surrounded by mist in the mountains and forests, Qu Tao hid in this thick fog, hiding behind a large rock, watching the mountain road not far away.

Ignoring his clothes soaked in the morning dew, he waited motionless as if he were a stone sculpture.

After Mo Yue took a stick of incense, there was movement on the mountain road, but it was the other two people who were willing to go to investigate last night, and they did not see the two people of the Wang family and the Tiger Gang.

Qu Tao frowned, still did not move, he expected that the two would definitely not trigger too early, and they must have waited for his news before following from behind.

Sure enough, as he thought, not long after, the figures of those two people appeared on the mountain road.

The two of them glanced around from time to time, and the man of the Tiger Gang was still scolding: "This little cub is enough for a chicken thief, he must have left the city early in the morning." ”

"The guard at the east gate said that he hadn't seen that kid, could it be that he went out from another door?"

"Surely we can't be wrong, let's hurry up, catch up with the two people in front of us, see if they have seen that kid, and can't let him escape." ”

As he spoke, the two of them sped away, and their figures disappeared in the mist.

Qu Tao jumped out from behind the boulder, his movements were as steady as a tanuki, and he landed without a sound for half a minute, hanging far behind the two of them.

Although those two were bone-forging rank martial artists, they didn't know anything behind them.

After about half an hour of walking like this, the men of the Tiger Gang and the old man of the Wang family finally caught up with the first two.

Qu Tao hurriedly hid in the forest, and using his farsightedness ability, he could see clearly what the two were asking the two people before.

The two led by the Tiger Gang and the Wang family were a little jealous, and did not hide the inquiries of the two, although Qu Tao did not hear what the four were saying, but they could guess.

The Wang family and the Tigers were destined not to get the news they wanted from those two.

Seeing that they were a little unwilling, the first two did not linger any longer, and walked along a fork in the road, and the man of the Tiger Gang angrily kicked on the rough wood on the side, and the rough wood broke in response.

The old man of the Wang family seemed to admonish two words, and then the two left in the other direction.

"Interesting. ”

Qu Tao sneered, still hanging silently behind the two.

In the blink of an eye, we came to a mountain col, where there was no way but to burrow into the forest.

At this time, it has traveled almost five or six miles, approaching the deep mountains, and from here, you have to be careful further inside.

The two men slowed down suddenly, and each took out his own weapon, the man holding a long stick of stainless steel, and the old man taking out a long whip from his bosom and wrapping it around his hand like a snake.

The two of them stared, not fast, and glanced around vigilantly.

Qu Tao followed behind, also holding the firewood knife in his hand.

From this place on, it is already deep in the mountains, and there are many more dangers here than outside, and there will be fierce beasts in the blink of an eye, and in the wild and primitive dense forest, there are always some dangers that ordinary people are difficult to detect.

Maybe one moment it was still silent, and the next moment it was murderous.

The average hunter in the town rarely goes deep into it, and no one wants to walk deep in the mountains because it is too dangerous.

"Whew......"

There was a wolf howl in the distance, and when he looked up, on a boulder a hundred meters away, there was a lone wolf with snow-white skin, and the wolf glanced at the two of them with faint eyes, and then crossed the two of them and directly saw through Qu Tao's hiding place.

"Be careful. The man spoke up, looking vigilant.

The two of them stopped, and they were still more than ten feet away from the white wolf.

Qu Tao hid himself behind a thick tree and held his breath.

The white wolf only glanced at the two of them, and then jumped down from the boulder, like a white light, and disappeared into the forest, not even moving at all.

"There is indeed danger lurking in this deep mountain. Qu Tao knew that the white wolf had obviously discovered him, but fortunately, the two of them didn't notice it.

He sensed a threat from the white wolf, and even when he looked at him just now, he sensed a little spirituality in his gaze.

The man and the old man stared for a moment, and when they saw that the white wolf did not appear again, they cautiously continued to move forward, and their expressions were more cautious than before.

Qu Tao was also a lot more careful than just now, the firewood knife in his hand was dark, without any luster, and his own movements were gentle, hanging far behind the two like a spirit monkey.

After walking for three or four miles, the two people in front stopped to rest, and the distance between Qu Tao and the two of them was not shortened, and they were still separated by more than ten zhang, and they couldn't hear what they were talking about.

Suddenly, the man's long stick slammed forward, hitting the rough wood directly, only to hear a small scream, and a small snake only the length of an arm was smashed directly by the head.

But at that moment, a slender shadow shot out of the tree behind him, opening its mouth and biting at his neck.

As soon as the whip in the old man's hand moved, it directly wrapped around the slender shadow, and with a single lift, the slender shadow was twisted into several sections.

Qu Tao gathered his eyes and saw that the broken slender shadow was still a small snake, and its body color blended with the surroundings, making it difficult for people to notice.

The blood of the little snake oozed out and fell to the ground, and all the grass that was stained withered in an instant.

The man looked scared, and the old man was also a little frightened.

Qu Tao frowned and carefully looked around.

The crisis in the mountains seemed to be even more terrifying than he had imagined, and one of them could die.

Not to mention anything else, just the speed of the little snake just now, it was as fleeting as a lightning flash, and ordinary people could easily be hit without noticing, not to mention the blood, which was corrosive and must be uncomfortable on the body.

"It's a pity, if you kill yourself, maybe there will be a card bursting out. ”

Thinking like this, the two people over there didn't dare to stay, and looked around more carefully, and their speed dropped again and again.

The route these two men took was the direction of the second beast roar last night. He looked at the sky, the sun had just risen, and the mist in the forest had long since lifted.

The forest seemed to wake up, and from time to time there were beast chirps, and the sparse sound did not stop.

"Wow!"

In the sky, there are eagles and falcons spreading their wings, wide and wide, carrying hundreds of catties of prey on their sharp claws, and their speed flashes away like lightning.

"Roar!"

In the depths of the dense forest, the beast is amazingly powerful, and its roar is like thunder.

"Boom!"

I don't know what kind of behemoth is trampling the earth, and the cry of "Ang" seems to be a mammoth.

Along the way, I don't know how many living creatures walked through the forest, Qu Tao saw colorful tigers, snow-white snakes, and black bears running wildly, smashing rough wood like mowing grass.

The man and the old man were extremely careful along the way, and there was already an anxious look on their faces, and it was obvious that these fierce beasts in the depths of the mountains made both of them feel frightened.

Qu Tao followed behind the two of them, moving along the path they had stepped on, never taking one more step.

He almost ran into danger just now, one of them was not paying attention and almost stepped on a poisonous toad, if he hadn't reacted quickly, he stabbed the wood knife into the side of the rough wood and swung down, otherwise it would definitely attract the attention of the two people.

The poisonous toad is not a good stubble, although it is not big, but it can spray gray mist from its mouth, and a rat will die directly if it is contaminated.

After another hill, down is the surging river, here is a two-way river, two rivers meet here, the river is turbulent, there are big stones under the surface of the water, from time to time in the water outcropping.

Looking down from here, the banks of the river are lined with sludge, with only a few large boulders lying in them.

If you want to move forward, you have to cross this great river.

The man and the old man looked embarrassed, and what they saw and heard along the way made the two of them retreat, and when they looked at each other, they both saw the caution in each other's eyes.

No one knows if there is something hidden in this river.

Qu Tao was very bold, the cat stepped forward quietly, hunched his feet, and stepped on the soft ground, without making a sound.

He paused a few feet behind the two of them and listened.

"This deep mountain is really amazing, there are herds of fierce beasts, countless poisons, and I almost fell on the road before. ”

The man still broke out in a cold sweat when he remembered Fang Cai's experience.

The old man hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you think that kid will be in front?"

The man looked at the other side and shook his head: "It's hard to say, if you want to go to the other side, you have to cross this big river, that kid is alone, it shouldn't be possible." ”

The old man spared his life, and he already had the intention of retreating, and said, "Or go back." ”

"It's not easy for the head of the town to get along there, if you let him know that we are prevaricating him, then the Wang family and my Tiger Gang will be in trouble at that time, I heard that the head of the town is a disciple of the sect. The man shook his head.

The two hesitated for a moment.
