Chapter 419: Fat Duck
Shao Xuan stayed in the Gongjia Valley for another ten days, waiting for the inheritance power in his body to almost recover before leaving.
Before leaving, Shao Xuan made a salute to the valley, although he didn't know the people who left words on the mountain wall, maybe these people had already passed away, but thinking about the things he copied, Shao Xuan also wanted to express it.
After picking a leaf and leaving a word for Gongjia Heng, Shao Xuan planned to leave the valley, it was useless to continue to stay here, Shao Xuan could feel a repulsive force, even if he rang the bell, he couldn't hear the echo, and he would be silenced as soon as he rang it, outsiders were not welcome here.
Shao Xuan originally planned to return along the same road, but found that the door that Gong Jiaheng pushed when he came here couldn't be opened. I don't know if it will trigger any prohibitions.
However, the door could not be opened when he came, but Shao Xuan found that an opening appeared in another part of the valley.
The door at the opening seemed to be integrated with the mountain wall, plus it was covered with vines and covered by many plants, if it hadn't opened on its own, Shao Xuan really wouldn't have discovered this door.
The dark passage inside was very similar to the one I had walked through, and it didn't seem to be completely closed inside, although it had a stale smell, it was not strong, and there were some other smells faintly in it.
After thinking about it, Shao Xuan stepped in with his feet raised and left along this opening.
Taking out the spar for lighting, Shao Xuan walked while paying attention to the marks on the surrounding walls. There should have been people walking in this direction before, and there were scratches on the walls, which were deliberately left to prevent getting lost at the fork in the back. Walking forward, Shao Xuan found that there was no fork in this passage, but he could feel that this passage was bent and detoured, and he didn't know where it led.
There are small holes in the upper part of the passage, and I don't know where they lead, and no light comes out of them. However, you can feel that there is air flowing through the holes.
Continue walking, and when he finally saw the light again, Shao Xuan found that he was no longer in the Gongjia Valley.
Looking back, there is a stretch of mountains, forward. It is a large area of verdant mountain forest.
I didn't see the death-like Boxya, as if I had come out of this corridor and had come to another world.
This is not the mountain forest that Shao Xuan is familiar with, nor is it the place where the co-worker Jia Heng walked when he came, and the surrounding forests are very unfamiliar.
After Shao Xuan walked out of the corridor, he heard a sound behind him, and the entrance of the cave was automatically closed, and the closed place blended into the surroundings, and there was no sense of abruptness. No one would have known there was a passage unless they saw it with their own eyes.
Shao Xuan looked at the sun in the Tianshan Mountains and determined the direction, fortunately, he didn't deviate too far, but if he wanted to return to the route he came from, he had to take a long detour.
Into the mountains and forests. Shao Xuan is not worried about running out of food.
There was the sound of birds chirping and insects chirping around, but. Shao Xuan didn't see a single flying insect or bird, and there was no insect jumping and crawling in the grass.
The further you go, the more active the sound of insects and birds becomes.
It was not a stout tree, the branches and leaves swayed in the wind, and the sound of insects and birds sounded in Shao Xuan's ears.
Shao Xuan carefully distinguished, originally looking for the sight of the bird's figure among the branches. Move to the surrounding trees.
The sound is not made by birds, but by these trees!
As for the sound of insects, it is not the insects that scream, but the sound of the grass on the ground!
Especially when the wind blows, the sound of insects and birds mixes. As the wind blows, it rises and falls.
What a strange forest.
Like the forest that Shao Xuan encountered before, there is also a kind of blinding method in this forest, which is easy to make people walking in it lose their way. However, since Shao Xuan was able to walk through the previous forest smoothly when he came, this forest can also be passed.
After walking for nearly two hours, Shao Xuan found that he had neither left the forest nor returned to the original place, and he even had a feeling that the distance he had traveled in these two hours had not been far from the starting point.
Shao Xuan pulled a piece of grass and tried it, the grass body was flexible, and the thickness of the grass rope he used for divination on weekdays was the same, so he directly used this grass to try divination.
The first time, failed.
Again, it still fails.
Barely before Shao Xuan could start, the grass broke off.
This is not a problem of grass, Shao Xuan feels that when he is divining, he can't concentrate at all, if he can't concentrate all his mental energy on divination, his strength will be chaotic and out of order, and the failure rate will naturally be very high.
During the divination, the sound of the insects and birds around seemed to increase, and it became more and more noisy, so noisy that Shao Xuan couldn't calm down at all. If you want to do divination, you have to block out all the sounds around you.
Shao Xuan first arranged an early warning trap around him, and if someone or other beasts approached, he could also sense it. After arranging everything, Shao Xuan closed his hearing, isolated all the sounds around him, closed his eyes, and divined again.
This time, divination was much easier.
Looking at the knot tied at the end, Shao Xuan continued to close his hearing and walked in one direction, without looking at the surrounding woods and grass, just walking straight in one direction without distraction.
When he walked out of this strange forest, Shao Xuan suddenly felt lighter. Remove the shield, the sound of birds and beasts around came, not the pure sound of insects and birds in front, Shao Xuan could hear the sound of various beasts mixed in it, as well as the sound of leaves, there should be a small waterfall nearby, Shao Xuan heard the sound of flowing water falling from a high place.
Everything is back to its usual state.
This kind of forest is normal, although there may be all kinds of threats in the forest, all kinds of fierce beasts, all kinds of strange plants, but it makes Shao Xuan feel relaxed and comfortable.
That's how mountains and forests should be!
After washing his face beside the water flowing under the waterfall, hunting an unlucky big mountain dolphin to fill his stomach, and resting for a while, Shao Xuan planned to continue on his way.
There weren't many fierce beasts here, and even there were relatively few beasts, and it took Shao Xuan a lot of time to find that mountain dolphin. The birds are not very active, and occasionally one or two can be seen flying by, but it is not like the situation where a group of birds take off collectively that Shao Xuan sees on weekdays. Here, it seems much more monotonous.
Presumably, this place is still relatively close to the valley, so there will be fewer animals.
In any case, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, and Shao Xuan plans to leave as soon as possible.
In the sky, a bird with emerald green coat flew by, and its eyes had some dead leaf-like patterns, as if it was wearing an eye patch. Looking at the form, it's like a fat duck.
The emerald bird rested on a tree nearly thirty meters away from Shao Xuan, twisting its neck to look at Shao Xuan.
"Goo-goo!"
The emerald bird monster screamed, and seeing that Shao Xuan didn't move, it flew down from the tree, landed directly on the water, then folded its wings, rowed on the water, stretched its neck into the water from time to time, and then lifted it and swung the water vigorously, and after swinging, it continued to swim there as if no one was around. Occasionally, a small fish is taken out of the water and swallowed with its head up.
I have to say that when the number of birds and animals around is very small, it is really exciting to see such a fat duck.
But Shao Xuan didn't make a move at the first time.
When the fat duck landed on the tree from the air just now, Shao Xuan keenly noticed that the tip of the fat duck's toe was like a sharp hook, firmly hooking the branch, but the moment it landed in front of the water, the webbed-like membrane suddenly unfolded between the toes of the two feet.
It looks like a migratory bird, but it has the claws of a bird of prey.
It's not as harmless as it seems.
However, such a fat duck swam in front of Shao Xuan, and swam over again, as if he was saying to Shao Xuan: Come on, eat me!
Shao Xuan picked up a stone on the ground next to him and shot it at the fat duck.
However, the fat duck seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and when Shao Xuan made a move, it directly came to float on the water, spread its wings and quickly stepped on the webbed soles, and ran across the water, bringing up water lines all the way. Then he spread his wings and flew up, the webbing on the soles of his feet shrank, and all that was left was the sharp talons of an eagle.
Coming out of the water, the fat duck did not fly directly high, but flew among the trees, and only occasionally flew up, looking like it was too fat to fly after eating too much.
Shao Xuan continued to chase, and when he was about to catch up, the fat duck accelerated as if it had installed a thruster, and quacked as it flew back.
The surrounding trees are very thick, twenty people are not allowed to hug them, and there are few birds and beasts nearby, so the emerald fat ducks that are flying in them are very eye-catching.
Shao Xuan chased the fat duck through the woods, and with his speed, he could catch the fat duck quickly, but he was not in a hurry, he just kept a distance and followed behind, watching the fat duck quacking in front.
When the fat duck stopped, Shao Xuan also stopped and did not move forward.
The emerald fat duck resting on a branch seventeen or eighteen meters above the ground pecked at its feathers, and looked at Shao Xuan again, as if it was curious about Shao Xuan stopping there.
"Quack!" the fat duck chirped again, and spread its wings and shook its flesh.
Shao Xuan didn't look at it, and let it sway and scream there. His eyes swept around the surrounding woods, and he clenched the sword in his hand.
When the fat duck stopped, it was very quiet, except for the sound of the wind blowing the leaves and the barking of beasts, but it was a little far from here.
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly rushed out of the forest, and the cold light reflected by the sword blade was tragic and ferocious, and in a flash, the air turned into a sharp energy, approaching Shao Xuan!
At the same time, on the other side, a black shadow rushed out at the same time, the other party did not hold any weapons, but the arms contained strong and solid strength, both arms turned into knives, and when they slashed out, the air let out a tearing roar.
The two approached in a bag-and-wrap manner.
Shao Xuan instinctively sensed the danger, and was prepared before the two figures rushed out, and did not block the combined attack of these two people, but ran forward.
The blade of the sword shattered a crack in the ground, and the dirt and grass clippings were shaken high.
A sword slashed into the air, but the other party did not show any disappointment, but united with another person to continue the pursuit, with a more cunning hint on his face. (To be continued......)
