After the dense lightning, the sky suddenly returned to calm, the sun hung high, and the air around it became unusually hot. Li Yiheng muttered: "It's really strange weather, one moment lightning and thunder, another moment hot like summer, more impermanent than the weather in the sea." ”

Diana looked up at the mountains in front of her, and patted Li Yiheng on the shoulder: "Let's go, maybe it will be cool when you enter the mountains." ”

However, in the forest and mountains, Li Yiheng felt that the skin on his whole body was about to become moldy, and he really couldn't stay for a moment in this hot and humid deep mountain, and he didn't know what place this was.

"There must be plains beyond the mountains, little trumpet, go to the sky and see where the way out is, and then fly us out. Li Yiheng pulled open the neckline with difficulty to dissipate heat, his neck and forehead were soaked with beads of sweat, and he felt even more impatient when he saw that Diana and Xiao Ji were both calm and calm.

Of course, Xiao Ji didn't feel the heat, because the feathers around his body well blocked the moisture and direct sunlight, which was an effective isolation layer, and Diana already had the characteristics of a plant, and the light was her energy source, plus a light green shirt, it was refreshing to look at.

With a "boom", Xiao Ji spread his heavy wings and flew straight into the air with a cool breeze, which just blew to Li Yiheng on the opposite side, slightly relieving his boredom. Xiao Ji hovered in the air for a while, and then landed directly in front of Li Yiheng, pointed to the east and said: "This mountain is only a hundred miles in radius, and there is an open plain in the east, and you can vaguely see the village. ”

"Clairvoyance, I can see so far, why don't you take us wherever we go, I can't take a single step. Diana looked at Xiao Ji with her big eyes, which seemed to contain a hundred styles.

Xiao Ji how can he be worthy of Diana's request, turned into a big peng at the moment, carrying Li Yiheng and Diana towards the village, Xiao Ji flew extremely fast, the oncoming wind swept away the previous heat and anxiety, Li Yi lay on Xiao Ji's back and couldn't help shouting "I want to ride the wind......" The words were not finished, Xiao Ji turned sharply to the left, dodging a sharp arrow from below at high speed, fortunately, the mane on Xiao Ji's back was thick enough and strong enough, Li Yiheng grabbed it tightly and was not thrown out.

Immediately afterward, several sharp arrows were fired at Xiao Ji with precision, and Xiao Ji easily avoided it and flew higher. Diana looked down and saw that they had come to the plain, where there was a crowd of people shouting, armed with bows and crossbows, presumably taking the little trolls as an intruder.

Li Yi yelled at the crowd below, "Hey, stop, we're not bad guys." The crowd below didn't know if they didn't hear it, or they didn't believe it at all, and the bows and crossbows in their hands were aimed at Xiao Yan, and sharp arrows pierced the air and rushed straight over. Xiao Ji immediately let out a long roar, and rushed towards the sharp arrow that shot over, and the sharp arrow hit Xiao Ji with a muffled sound of "dangdang", as if hitting a steel plate, watching Xiao Ji still accelerate and rush to the crowd below, Li Yiheng secretly shouted that it was not good, Xiao Ji was completely enraged this time, and once he was angry in this form, not to mention Li Yiheng, even Diana couldn't persuade him, the two of them knew this, and the people below were going to suffer.

Dense arrows rained down on Xiao Zhen's chest, and some were broken because of excessive force, and Li Yiheng could clearly see that the crowd below was beginning to panic and had scattered and fled.

At this time, Xiao Ji locked on a middle-aged man with a quiver on his back, the man screamed and ran towards the village not far away, where did he run past Xiao Ding, when he was nearly fifty meters away from the edge of the village, Xiao Ji's left front paw suddenly pushed him to the ground, like an eagle catching a chicken.

Seeing that their companions were in trouble, some of them drew their bows and arrows, and some of them held half-meter-long hunting knives, and slowly surrounded them from all sides.

Xiao Ji let out a long howl again, turned around with his left front paw as the fulcrum, staring at the surrounding crowd, and at the same time exerting force with his front paws, the middle-aged man under the claws let out a heart-rending cry due to pain, and the crowd who were originally moving slowly immediately stopped touching the action at this time, and stood in place, not knowing what was wrong for a while.

Li Yiheng turned over and jumped down, blocked in front of Xiao Ji, coughed lightly twice, put on the posture of a leader, and explained to the surrounding crowd: "We are not bad people, we passed by here unintentionally, and we wanted to take a break here for a while, but we just misunderstood." ”

As he spoke, Li Yiheng motioned for Xiao Ji to let go of the middle-aged man under his claws, but at this moment, the mane on Xiao Ji's neck exploded, and he was angry, so he could let him go easily, and his powerful beak grabbed the middle-aged man's collar and ordered him up, just like a giant eagle had just captured a chicken, showing off the trophies.

The middle-aged man was held by Xiao Jiao, shivering incessantly, and the gray-white wool vest on his body was also torn by Xiao Xiao's claws, and was fluttering in the wind. Diana sat on Xiao Xiao's back, watching all this with interest, and had no intention of interfering.

At this time, an old man wearing a black cowhide coat walked out of the crowd, who seemed to be the head of the place, and replied to Li Yiheng, his voice was a little hoarse: "If it is a misunderstanding, let him go first, and we should lift the alert." ”

Li Yiheng looked back at Xiao Ji and waited for Xiao Ji's reaction. Li Yiheng knew that he couldn't forcibly order Xiao Ji at this time, it would have the opposite effect, and Xiao Ji made radical moves, so he could only let Xiao Ji decide for himself, but when Li Yiheng looked at Xiao Ji, he motioned to Diana to help with his eyes.

Diana smiled knowingly, leaned lightly into Xiao Ji's ear, stroked the mane on his back, and used her crisp and numb voice to comfort Xiao Ji: "Good, they all said that they misunderstood, you can just let him go as a favor, maybe he will be grateful to you." ”

Sure enough, it was Diana who was able to subdue the grumpy little man, the middle-aged man was safely put back on the ground, trembling and running back to his companion team, the old man in the trench coat had seen the world in the end, motioned to the people around him to put down their weapons, and at the same time steadily walked up to Li Yiheng to introduce himself: "I am the village chief here, welcome to Zhibu Village!"

Li Yiheng wondered if there would be a village with such a name that rejected people thousands of miles away, but he also responded politely: "My name is Li Yiheng, I strayed into this group of mountains, please bear with me for the inconvenience caused to you just now!"

The village chief walked in front and made a "please" gesture to signal Li Yiheng to follow, and Li Yiheng noticed that there were many old and young women and children gathered in the village not far away, watching them. These hunters in the back should be the main labor force in this village, and they are also guards, and when they found Xiao Ji flying here, they instinctively organized themselves to defend it, it seems that it is safer to go by land next time, Li Yiheng pondered.

Although it was a misunderstanding, the middle-aged man from before walked in front of Xiao Ji and quickly avoided it, and the rest of the people also kept a safe distance from Xiao Ji, followed him, and said a few words from time to time. Xiao Ji took heavy steps and swaggered behind Li Yiheng.

Those old and young women and children saw such a monster walking towards the village, and they avoided it one after another, but the road into the village was wide, which could completely accommodate Xiao Jing's form at this time, but he didn't mean to change back to human nature, maybe the current form was more intimidating.

This village is not small, it seems that there are more than 200 households, the houses are made of stones, the roof is a wooden structure, covered with thatch, Li Yiheng followed the village chief to stop in front of a stone house in the center of the village, the stone house is very large, can be honored under 30 people, Li Yiheng guessed that this is also used to convene the village of strong men to hold a meeting to discuss.

The village chief invited Li Yiheng into the house, and the furniture in the house was basically made of polished stone. Diana jumped down, and Xiao Ji also took on the form of a human being, and followed into the house, and the crowd behind was surprised by this, and some women even screamed, but they all gathered around the door of the stone house, refusing to leave, and it was the first time they had seen a person who could transform into a beast.

Li Yiheng and the others sat down in the house, and the village chief motioned to his wife to prepare food. The village chief's wife was a woman who looked very loving, but she was not afraid of Xiao Xiao and was busy in the kitchen, so Li Yiheng took this opportunity to ask the village chief: "Village chief, is there any strange place or scene here, or strange people?"

The village chief glanced at Li Yiheng and the others and said: "That is, the three of you are strange, this is a village of ours within a radius of 100 miles, and you make a living by hunting, and you saw that you broke into our territory, so you attacked, where did you come from, and what are you doing with these strange places?"

Li Yiheng briefly said the origin, and when the village chief heard that he was looking for the so-called other world, he didn't know what to do, and told Li Yiheng that this neighborhood is very normal, and there is no strange or abnormal phenomenon as you said.

At this time, the crowd gathered at the door didn't know who said: "Village chief, isn't there a canyon in the back mountain, where there are often strange loud noises." ”

Li Yiheng heard him say this, and hurriedly asked the village chief the reason, but the village chief was very calm: "The canyon is called the Valley of Death, and the ancestors warned against approaching, all the people and herds that go in will completely disappear after a terrifying loud noise, so we also have the intention of stopping here as outsiders, and can no longer march to the back mountain, there was a scientific expedition team here to investigate before, and did not listen to the dissuasion, and never came out after entering the deep valley, so I advise you not to have this plan." ”

This may be exactly the place Li Yiheng is looking for, how could he give up because of these frightening legends, deal with it at the moment, have a meal, and chat with the village chief for a while, the crowd of onlookers has no signs of leaving, but more and more, and some elderly people with impaired mobility are also supported by the younger generation to watch the excitement.

After Li Yiheng and the others rested, they wanted to say goodbye to the village chief and leave, and the village chief wanted to stay: "It's getting late, and besides, the way out of the mountain is in the west, but you are going east, don't you insist on going to the valley of death?"

As soon as he went out, Xiaoji turned into a Dapeng, and everyone exclaimed again, Li Yiheng left five silver coins as a reward, and did not answer, and Diana sat on the Dapeng and flew to the back mountain, and the village chief shouted below: "If you go out, you must come back and tell me." The deep sound pierced through the wind and reached Li Yiheng's ears, Li Yiheng looked at the mountain behind the village, and the mountain seemed to be coiled with a layer of haze, hinting at the danger there.
