Heaven and earth are like a white curtain, there are only scattered greenery in the snow color, after crossing the river, and then walking a stick of incense time, you will enter the depths of the mountain.

The mountains here are steeper, there are cliffs prominent, there are also rocky beaches stacked, but more are still mountains and forests, and the stout ancient trees are more than ten zhang high at the lowest, and even more towering like giant pillars.

Qu Tao walked all the way, except for the scattered beasts along the way, he didn't encounter any fierce beasts, and I don't know if it was because he was killed too many times when the beasts besieged the city last time.

He climbed on the top of a thick tree, and when he looked around, there was only wind and snow, but the terrain could be distinguished.

A few miles further on, the white wolf was in the position. ”

Having made up his mind, he jumped directly from the rough wood, kicked the trunk of the tree in mid-air, and his body shot out like an arrow, leaping between several rough trees in succession, and then jumped into the forest.

The wind was whistling in my ears, and the snow in the mountains and forests was a little lighter, but my vision was still blocked.

Fortunately, he walked once before, but he was not afraid of getting lost in the forest, and whenever he couldn't find the way, he would climb to the top of the tree to observe, and then look for the direction and move forward again.

After traveling for several miles, he was already in front of the formation.

The snow covered everything in front of him, and there was no trace of the rough wood that had been cut off by him before, and with the bone fragments in his chest, he sensed that the formation was ahead.

Without hesitation, he strode forward, and after less than three feet, his eyes were bright.

It's a very mysterious feeling, as if the world I am in has changed in an instant, and I see the green mountains and forests, and there is no snow at all.

The wind stopped here, and everything was as silent as ever.

Stepping on the soft dead leaves, you can smell the rotten smell of the earth, and the sky here is a little darker than outside, as if it is isolated from the outside world, and it is another world.

Qu Tao didn't know the reason, and he didn't think about it, as soon as his thoughts moved, his feet shook, and the surrounding trees moved to the side, and a straight path suddenly appeared in the formation with him as the source.

Walking slowly, looking around carefully, feeling the internal qi consumed by controlling the formation just now, he nodded slightly.

"Fortunately, although it is still difficult to control this formation after the growth of internal qi, it is much better than before. ”

There were corpses all over the ground in front of him, those were people who had strayed into this place in the past, Qu Tao sighed lightly, and the thought arose, and he saw the ground sinking, and there was mud rolling from all around, burying all the corpses.

"Dust to dust, dust to dust, you always have a place to go. ”

He spilled the liquor from the gourd around his waist on the ground in front of him, as if he were practicing for the dead, and then continued on.

After a short time, he came to the open space in the middle of the formation, the collapsed palace pavilion was still standing, and the lonely tomb of loess was lying quietly in the clearing.

He added a handful of new soil to the lonely grave and cleaned up the rubble and other debris around it.

"Although you were slain by me, you have no grudges, and I have received many benefits from you, and I will come often when I have time in the future. ”

The bone fragment in his chest gave him a special connection to this formation, and through the bone fragment, he could sense that there was no second person in this formation except him.

He didn't notice the white wolf's breath, and he didn't know where it had gone.

"Maybe it's long gone. ”

Thinking like this, Qu Tao walked around in the formation.

The formation is in the mountains and forests, but it is isolated from the outside world, and it is a hundred zhang square, except for the open space in the center, the rest of the place is covered by dense forests.

The rough wood here is different from the outside, different from the ordinary thick ancient wood, but is controlled by the formation, and can even be turned into a wooden cone to hurt people if necessary.

Just imagine, when within a radius of 100 zhang, tens of thousands of ancient trees all turned into wooden cones and shot out, how amazing the scene was.

He roughly circled around to get a rough idea of the formation, and then walked out from the other direction without lingering any longer.

The moment he stepped out of the formation, the heavens and the earth changed, first there was a bright light in front of him, and then the surroundings suddenly cooled down, and the wind and snow also rushed towards him next, and the snow had already covered his knees.

Looking back, there was still snow behind him, and the vision of Lone Peak was the same as before, and there was no change from before entering the formation.

A little amazed at the magic of the formation, he had already taken a step, from static to moving in just an instant, and the person had already jumped out of three feet.

He did not turn back, but intended to go deeper.

Nine days have been obscured by thick clouds, even if the sun has been rising for a long time, it is still slightly darker than before, and as you go deeper, the terrain of the mountains becomes steeper.

Heavy rocks, rugged mountains and forests, there is no human population here, and no trace of wild beasts is left.

He didn't know how long he walked, and even ate dry food twice, the sky seemed to be even darker at this time, and the surrounding mountains and forests became a little sparse, and patches of strange rocks were piled up, and some of the mountains seemed to have cracked, and most of them collapsed.

He also saw a large river, apparently diverted, and rushed out of a col to form a valley in the distance.

The original river was in the other direction, and the two were separated at a confluence by countless rocks, which fell from a mountain peak.

"Surely anyone has fought in this area?"

The vistas here and there are obvious signs of destruction, and even though the snow is heavy, it cannot cover all the traces.

He climbed on the top of the ancient tree, and saw it clearly, but the end of his sight was still heavy mountains and dense forests, and only here the mountains and forests were sparse.

Qu Tao took advantage of the trend, climbed along the steep mountain, the firewood knife turned into a long spear, and was inserted into the crack of the stone by him, and the whole person jumped towards the peak quickly like a spirit ape.

The mountain is thousands of blades high, and it is the most here.

Before he even reached half of the incense, he had already reached the peak, and from here he looked around, and everything was in full view.

"Huh?"

Qu Tao's brows furrowed suddenly, in a mountain col far away, there seemed to be a house, and within that circle, it looked like a small village.

Activating his farsightedness, he glanced at it quickly, and then hurriedly turned it off, and for a moment he could see clearly what was on the col.

"It's really a village, why don't you see anyone?"

There were signs left when he came along the way, and he was not worried that he would get lost in this mountain.

Looking at the sky, it seemed that it was almost sunset in the evening.

"I've been on the road all day, and I'm afraid I've traveled hundreds of miles if I'm not careful. ”

"However, there were not a few beasts along the way, except for the black fish that burst out of the card in the morning, and the three beasts killed after that did not explode anything. And this road is difficult to find, even if the snow covers the mountain, it shouldn't be like this, now it seems that something seems to have happened in this deep mountain, there is something strange. ”

Thinking like this, he did not intend to go back there, but decided to explore the small village.

He did what he thought, and after coming down from Dufeng, he hurried towards the mountain village.

The sky grew darker and darker, and Qu Tao came to the outside of the mountain village.

On an ancient tree not far away, he looked at the whole mountain village, surrounded by six scorching stone pillars, four of which had collapsed, and only two remained.

In the mountain village, however, the cottage was not damaged, and he even saw clothes drying in a small courtyard, but there was no sign of anyone else.

"The scorching sun stone pillar has collapsed, and it is no longer possible to protect the mountain village at night, and the people here are estimated to have either turned into humanoid corpses or died in their mouths. ”

Qu Tao walked into the village, the village is not big, it is only a hundred zhang square, there are only two paths, and hundreds of cottages are close together.

Suddenly, he paused, and smelled blood in his nose.
