Chapter 11 Re-entry to Yuexiu Mountain
Back home, Bei Mingxuan told Fan about Xiaoyan. Xiao Yan has also seen it, and Li Fan thinks that Xiao Yan is not an ordinary bird, but a legendary phoenix. This Bei Mingxuan just listened to it and didn't dare to agree, it was too ruinous to ruin the worldview.
The next day, Bei Mingxuan made some preparations and entered Yuexiu Mountain again with Lifan. Today's goal is to find Xiao Yan, because he already knew that Xiao Yan was fighting with another creature, so Bei Mingxuan carried a mountain knife and brought a hard crossbow bought from the black market. Lifan prepared a nunchuck, and he also practiced hidden weapons, so he brought a few darts, but unfortunately they were all from the black market, and they were definitely not as sharp as the professional. The two of them are fully equipped and full of confidence, and they want to find a place for Xiaoyan and avenge their injuries.
Bei Mingxuan came to the end of the stream that he and Hai Ling chased yesterday, and the stream turned into a waterfall pouring down from the top of the mountain. The two climbed up the mountain without hesitation, and with the skills of the two of them, they soon reached the top of the mountain. This stone mountain is not only more than 100 meters high, but extends out nearly 300 meters, climb to the top of the mountain to know, the top of the stone mountain is a relatively flat flat land, this flat land is nearly 500 meters wide, and the depth to the distance is thousands of meters. The two walked across the flat land overgrown with weeds and shrubs, and another mountain appeared in front of them, this mountain was lush and overgrown with tall trees, and it was obviously the depths of the Yuexiu Mountain Nature Reserve.
Because the trees are tall and densely foliage, there are only some weeds and vines under the trees, and there are no shrubs common in ordinary mountain forests. The two looked around for a while, and Bei Mingxuan believed that Xiao Yan flew over from the other side of the mountain. It's just that Xiao Yan who was so far away from Hai Ling yesterday could sense his arrival and rushed to meet him, and today he and Li Fan climbed the stone mountain and passed through the flat land, at least more than ten kilometers closer than the place where he rested yesterday, but Xiao Yan did not react. Bei Mingxuan couldn't help but be a little flustered, although Xiao Yan couldn't speak, and his acquaintance with him was still a little dramatic, but he could feel Xiao Yan's attachment and closeness to him, and in his mind, he had already regarded Xiao Yan as his partner.
Keep moving forward in the jungle, fortunately there is this stream as a reference, otherwise it is really easy to get lost. Although the original scenery along the way is good, the two of them have no intention of appreciating it, and Bei Mingxuan is even more depressed. After walking for most of the day, they came to a valley along the stream, the valley began to be very wide, and it was less than 200 meters after walking halfway, and then it was no longer shrinking, and after walking more than 1,000 meters inside, they came to a cliff, which was more than 500 meters high, and the top of the cliff could hardly be seen when looking up.
The stream flowed out of a small cave at the bottom of the cliff, and the way had been cut off by the cliff, and it was too dangerous for two people to climb over such a high cliff, and they did not have climbing equipment. Walk around from both sides of the cliff, although the mountains on both sides of the valley are not as steep as this cliff, it is not easy to climb.
Bei Mingxuan said: "Xiao Fan, since the stream flows out of this cave, I believe it must be through the water source behind the cliff, why don't you go and see it from the cave?"
Lifan nodded: "You can try, but, brother, you wait for me here, I'll go first to explore it alone, in case there is any accident, there is a way out." ”
Bei Mingxuan thought so, but he said: "Xiao Yan is not familiar with you, and when I saw it, I was frightened by it, so I'd better go." You wait for me here, and if there is danger, I will quit, or shout loudly, and you will come and answer when you hear it. ”
The two argued for a long time, and Liao Fan finally couldn't be stronger than Bei Mingxuan, so he went. Relying on the sensitivity of the five senses, even in the dark, he can find the way with his senses of hearing, taste and touch, which is more suitable for entering the cave than Fan. With a flashlight in his left hand, a crossbow in his right hand, and the machete on his back, he burrowed into the hole and waded through the water. The cave was very narrow at first, with different depths, and some sections had to be breathless and dive through, but after walking two or three hundred meters, it gradually widened, and not only could you walk upright, but there were already enough places on both sides of the stream for people to walk. Bei Mingxuan couldn't help but didn't look back to greet Fan, he didn't want to delay a little time, and rushed forward in the cave. After running less than a kilometer, I could already see the bright light of the exit ahead, and through the cave, there was a valley surrounded by mountains and stone walls on all sides.
The valley is verdant, dotted with colorful flowers, the trees are not very tall but look like some years, the old green vine trees, the stream is murmuring, it is a paradise like a peach blossom source. As soon as Bei Mingxuan came out of the cave, the fresh breath in the valley came to his face, which made people feel refreshed and happy, and even the cool aura in his upper dantian moved. Looking around, the valley is not big, more than 1,000 meters long from east to west, more than 300 meters wide from north to south, a stream gathers from the high mountain in the east, meanders through the east and west, and flows into the hole in the stone wall in the west. The south of the valley is also a high mountain, the southeast mountain range is connected with each peak, the east peak is the highest, the highest place is more than 100 meters is like a pillar of heaven like a stone wall, straight and upright, like a high platform, the top is only slightly smaller than the root to form a flat-topped peak. The rocky cliffs in the north and the cliffs in the west are connected, and the steep cliffs are like knives and axes.
He searched east along the stream, and soon he found that in his perception there was not a single larger animal in the valley except for insects and ants, including mountain rats and hares, which were everywhere. Birds also fly by chance and never fall into the valley. It stands to reason that such a blessed land should be a place where vibrant spirit birds and spirit beasts live, how could it be so desolate?
After a while, he was in the center, and suddenly he felt an oppressive, unsettling, and extremely dangerous aura coming from the mountains to the south. Bei Mingxuan picked up the hard crossbow, unconsciously leaned against the stone wall to the north, and walked more than 100 meters, a shrub in front of him was flattened by something, and a few big trees were also broken branches and fallen leaves.
He rushed to the bush, the place where it was flattened was more than 100 square meters, and he also found traces of fire, and there were scratches and small scratches on a big tree, which were exactly the same as the wounds on Xiao Yan's legs yesterday. It seems that Xiao Yan and some other animals are fighting here, looking at the scene, where is the movement of such a small bird as Xiao Yan can be made? Bei Mingxuan was even more worried, carefully inspected the scene, and found a few scales from the bushes, the snake is not like a snake, the fish is not like a fish, it is polygonal, and the water chestnut angle is clear and not smooth. He found two more colored feathers, which made his heart hang completely.
In retrospect, even in the detention center, when Brother Bird smashed Xiaoyan with shoes or something, they never saw Xiaoyan drop even a single fluff. At this time, the sky was already overcast, and he thought that he hadn't used much time, why was it getting dark? He looked up and found that it was dark clouds and faint lightning, and a thunderstorm was coming. It's a strange weather, it's still sunny just now, and it's changing.
Soon Bei Mingxuan found a few drops of dried blood under the stone wall in the north, and looked up at the stone wall, there were several pine trees sticking out of the trunks from the stone cracks less than 100 meters above the ground, could it be that Xiao Yan stopped on this pine tree after being injured, and the blood dripped down? Although the stone wall was steep, the green vines and stone cracks could borrow strength, and more than 100 meters was not too high, so he picked up the hard crossbow and climbed up.
The sky was very dark, only climbed more than 20 meters, the sky was completely dark, the dark clouds were sinking and pressed straight to the top of the cliff, thunder sounded in the dark clouds, and the lightning jumped. Bei Mingxuan was afraid that the rainstorm would come down, and the rain would be slippery and not good enough to climb again, so he looked at both sides, and there was a hole in front of the left that was not deep enough to stand on, so he hurriedly crawled over. The foothold is not a hole, just a depression more than two meters deep, like a small platform.
Before he could sit down, the thunder suddenly roared, and in the rumbling sound, a bolt of lightning pierced the darkness and went straight to the mountainside on the southern slope more than 300 meters from the valley. Under the lightning strike, the earth and stones were overflowing, and the Northern Darkness was surprised, didn't the lightning all shoot down towards the highest place? Just as he was thinking about it, another lightning bolt struck in the same position, and a swarthy hole was revealed as the rubble rolled down. A dull roar came from the cavern, and the sound was very eerie, like the harsh friction of the rapid passage of air.
As soon as the roar fell, a thick creature burst out of the hole, and this creature was by no means a snake, for its body was bloated and thick from front to back. As soon as the monster came out of the hole, a lightning bolt slashed head-on, and the monster threw the giant tail in front of him, and the lightning fell on the tail, and was immediately struck by the lightning, and the flesh and blood were blurred. In the electric light, Bei Mingxuan had already seen the hideous appearance of this monster, it was more than 6 meters long, the mouth of the bowl was thick, and its body was covered with purple-black scales, and it looked the same as the one Bei Mingxuan had just found, shining with oil. There are three rows of stiff hairs on both sides of the spine and abdomen, all of which are more than two inches long, and one of the three rows of stiff hairs on the neck is particularly long, which is enough to be a foot, and the hard ones can already be called hard thorns.
The whole creature looks like a caterpillar that has been magnified countless times, and the most peculiar thing is the head of this strange insect, which faintly resembles the shape of a legendary dragon, but without horns. Of course, this is a judgment that flashed in Bei Mingxuan's mind, and someone else must say that he is. This thunder and lightning came at this big worm, and Bei Mingxuan couldn't say why, but he firmly believed that it was so. The big insect raised its head and screamed at the sky, and sure enough, it made a sound by exhaling air currents from its body.
The thunder sounded, a heavenly power pressed on the big insect, and the lightning slashed at the big insect one after another, the big insect circled up like a snake to reduce the area of the attack, and the tail blocked its head, it seems that the tail is its defensive weapon, it seems that the injury is not light, but the big insect doesn't care. Then a purple halo emanated from the big insect's body, and the halo covered it like a shield, and the lightning slashed at the halo, causing the halo to shake and twist violently one after another. Seeing that it couldn't be resisted, the head of the big insect poked out from behind the tail of the insect, opened its mouth, and spit out a milky white liquid as thin as spider silk, the liquid condensed into silk when it met the air, the silk was colorless and transparent, and a silk web was formed under the control of the big insect, and the wire net was covered outside the purple halo, and when the lightning continued to attack, although the silk net was constantly broken, the power was much smaller, and the purple halo could barely be maintained.
Bei Mingxuan was already stunned, wasn't it a joke? Did he see a miracle? The dark clouds in the sky had thinned, and the thunder and lightning had turned from dense to sparse, and it seemed that the catastrophe of this great insect was about to pass. Bei Mingxuan came to his senses, if this strange insect is in the tribulation, then its strength will definitely be higher after the crossing, Xiao Yan is not an opponent, and Xiao Yan has not appeared yet, I am afraid that it is more than lucky. Bei Mingxuan took off his bow and crossbow angrily, taking advantage of his illness to kill him, looking at the tired and embarrassed appearance of the big worm, how could he be worthy of Xiaoyan if he didn't take this time to give it a look?
Finally the clouds dissipated, the sun appeared again, and the big insect looked like it was at the end of its crossbow, but its expression was very nervous, and the head of the insect always looked north. Bei Mingxuan wondered, could it have already discovered me?
