Chapter 179: Finding the Ink Frog
The moonlight flashed brightly, and the sparkling brilliance could not find a gap to enter this black and oppressive forest.
The imperial palace of the Qingzhou Kingdom is backed by Qingyun Mountain. Qingyun Mountain is the ancestral court of the Sword Sect, and the Sword Sect is the largest sect in the Qingzhou Kingdom. Although the palace has not been breached for more than a thousand years because it is backed by Qingyun Mountain, the emperor in the palace has never been able to sleep peacefully on Qingyun Mountain.
After all, the Sword Sect on Qingyun Mountain is a powerful military force, and the emperor, as the supreme ruler of the Qingzhou Kingdom, how can he allow others to sleep peacefully on the side of the couch?
Therefore, this black and oppressive forest between Qingyun Mountain and the palace was turned into a royal hunting garden.
The name Royal Hunting Garden is good for a 'hunting' word. The royal family can set up all kinds of traps in the name of hunting in this vast Black Forest, but everyone knows whether this trap is really used to hunt beasts or hunt people.
Therefore, trespassers are killing themselves.
This Royal Hunting Garden is fundamentally a barrier, and it is the Sword Sect, the largest sect in the Qingzhou Kingdom, that it is guarded against, and it is also the boundary of Dao Ming. Whoever crosses the line will break the rules of the game between the royal family and the Sword Sect, and the saboteur will have to pay the price.
Now, the Sword Sect's thousand-year-old sword array map has been stolen, how can Duan Zhentian, as the sect master of the Sword Sect, not recover it quickly? Even if this Royal Hunting Garden is a Longtan Tiger's Den, he has to break through. Now that he has obtained a divine soldier, he is not afraid that the royal family will make things difficult, but he still needs to be cautious in his actions, and he will make difficulties to the royal family in advance, which will damage his own plan.
Duan Zhentian sent a signal to the heavens, informing the disciples on the mountain to surround the Royal Hunting Garden, so as to prevent this "Red Flame Order Lord" from escaping from here. Since you have broken into this royal hunting garden, you don't want to get out alive!
As soon as the signal was issued. The disciples on Qingyun Mountain galloped down the mountain like flies. Make a beeline for the Royal Hunting Garden.
Gu Jun was driven to the edge of the Royal Hunting Garden by this swarm of buzzing flies, except for one head to get in. He had no choice.
Gu Jun had heard that this forest was a royal hunting garden, but he didn't know that this royal hunting garden was full of traps.
The white tiger and the ink frog didn't know the depth of this place, looking for the breath of Gu Jun, following all the way, and also entered this black and oppressive forest one after another.
But as soon as he came in, he didn't go far, and a shallow breath rushed into the nostrils of the white tiger, and it couldn't help but shiver, and the tiger's eyes immediately turned red. Grinding his teeth fiercely, he hurriedly transmitted his heart to Gu Jun in his heart: "Nima, there is a dragon pool here, don't go over, go around!" It has alarmed the Yunjiao Beast, the protector of the Qingzhou Kingdom, and we all have to die without a corpse!"
βοΌβ
Gu Jun shivered in shock when he heard the news, a cold sweat broke out on his body, and his feet were a little weak.
When I was in the Imperial Palace, I often heard the palace maids and eunuchs joking with each other;
"Be careful of angering your master. Thrown away to feed the Protector Divine Beast!"
"Come on, I have that honor? The Cloud Jiao Beast is not a meat to stuff between the teeth, it has to be a martial artist above the Chi Shi to have the honor to make the Cloud Jiao Beast open its mouth. β
"I heard that the higher the level of the martial artist, the more the cloud beast loves to eat, it seems that the high-level martial artist is very delicious!"
"What kind of eyes do you have? Do you still want to eat human flesh? Is the meat of a high-level martial artist you can eat in your mouth?"
"Who eats human flesh! I just envy this way of improving the strength of a martial artist by devouring it. β
"Greedy ......"
......
Just walk through this forest to enter the palace. The Sword Sect would not dare to break into the palace under any circumstances, as long as he hid himself, he should be able to keep his safety in the palace for a while.
Gu Jun slowed down. Walk every step of the way. He didn't want to stumble into a thousand hatreds, there were so many terrible traps here. Gestures can lead to disaster, and you must raise your spirit. There can be no slackness.
Gu Jun walked more than 100 meters, and he had already escaped from the five traps. His head was covered with cold sweat, and his back was cold, but his body was like a frightened bird, and he was on guard everywhere.
"Rokujo, Ink Frog, are you two okay?"
The traps of this royal hunting garden are set up densely and cleverly, which is difficult to guard, and Gu Jun is very worried about the safety of the white tiger and the ink frog, and sends a message of inquiry.
"Don't worry about me, I'm the king of the jungle, and I've been dealing with humans for more than a hundred years, so I can naturally avoid these traps, so you still have to worry about yourself. β
The white tiger jumped lightly, silently jumped up a towering ancient tree, I don't know what kind of creature was on the tree, but I actually hugged the white tiger in an instant, and the fishy breath blew from behind the ear, making the white tiger nauseous.
The white tiger took the shrinking pill, although the body at the moment is small, but the strength of the body is not small, the tiger's tail rolled behind him, strangled the body of the creature behind him, and with a fierce force, the creature was strangled and cut off, and wanted to let out a wail before death, but the claws raised by the white tiger covered the open mouth at once. The fangs in his mouth shattered the moment he was covered. The white tiger's snow-white fart~ arched, and the broken teeth were swallowed into the abdomen by the creature.
Silently solving a crisis, the white tiger opened his mouth, turned around and bit the neck of the creature, and feasted on it. A Moyun Demon Lizard was eaten by the White Tiger in three times and five by two. It cleared the branches of the tree, lay in the canopy leisurely, yawned, and sent a heartfelt voice to Gu Jun: "This king suggests that you also find a safe and secluded place to rest like this king, don't overdraw your physical strength, and be careful not to escape from this black forest." β
"Good idea! I'll listen to you! Then find me a safe and secluded place to rest, and then you will keep a vigil for me, lest I escape from this Black Forest with my life." β
βοΌβ
"Why don't you speak, do you want me to scold you?"
"Uh, okay, no problem. β
This black forest is extremely dangerous, the white tiger doesn't want to hear Gu Jun scolding his mother here, once the sacrifice is said, it will rush to the master's side as quickly as possible regardless of everything, God knows what terrible situation will occur along the way. It's better not to let Gu Jun say the sacrificial speech, and give it enough time to avoid all dangers and find him, so that it can be safe and safe.
"Why didn't you hear the ink frog moving? Isn't it with you?"
Gu Jun called the ink frog many times, but he didn't see the ink frog answer, and his heart became anxious. He didn't dare to shout out the sacrifice indiscriminately, for fear that the ink frog would touch the mechanism or fall into the trap in the process of running because of the sacrifice. So. When he saw the white tiger walking towards him, he asked the white tiger with a worried face.
"Qingyun Mountain was searched in a mess. The two of us had already scattered and fled, it must have entered this black forest, I felt its breath when I first entered, and then I dodged a few traps and traps, and I didn't notice it again. As he spoke, the white hair on his body stood up, and he began to worry about the ink frog in his heart, and his voice trembled, "The stinky toad won't be so stupid, so useless, so wasteful, right? No! No! No, it won't! It's a mysterious beast! No, it's ......."
"Stop babbling! Let's go find it!"
Gu Jun lifted the collar of the white tiger and threw it forward. Looking for his connection with the ink frog's spiritual blood, he began to search.
There is no murderous aura in this kind of thing, and Gu Jun can't predict potential danger well, so he can only detect the approach of dangerous creatures. Therefore, the path to find the ink frog is full of danger for Gu Jun and the white tiger.
There was wind behind his ears, Gu Jun hurriedly turned his head to dodge, he didn't dare to turn his head back, and subconsciously picked it to the ground, because the reversal of the airflow behind him was not small, and it was clearly a fast and large object attacking from behind, and there was no murderous aura at all. It's supposed to be a trap or something.
Gu Jun alchemy is more than refining, and he has a little research on traps, but he occasionally dabbles in books.
At the moment, under the attack of many traps, he is always in a hurry. It's all instinct to dodge, and there's no good strategy.
A huge cage roared over Gu Jun's head, black iron thorns flashing black in the dark forest. The smell of blood on it is disgusting.
Gu Jun lay on the ground, and actually felt a few drops of liquid dripping down his back. Slimy.
He reached out to touch it, but his hand was stuck with the liquid on his back!
The viscosity of this "glue" is really amazingly strong. No matter how Ren Gujun tossed, there was no way to let his hands leave his back.
Just as he was anxious, he felt that the leaves on the ground were actually stirring, Gu Jun's spiritual sense was keen, he could feel that there was a creature below that was about to drill out of the ground, and this creature had a murderous aura.
As soon as his abdomen was closed, his body bowed upward, his abdomen had left the ground, and a sharp horned snake with a pitch-black body drilled out of his body, and the moment he got out of the soil, he suddenly opened his mouth, revealing his fangs, spitting out a long fishy sticky letter, and biting Gu Jun's belly.
Gu Jun exerted force on his waist and went straight up, avoiding the first attack of this sharp horned snake, but he didn't expect that the speed of this sharp horned snake was as fast as a flying shuttle, and it actually drilled back to the ground in an instant, and when it reappeared, it was actually the soles of Gu Jun's feet.
Gu Jun had a keen sense and bounced up in time, trying to avoid the second attack of the Horned Snake. But I didn't expect that the iron cage that I had avoided before actually came back leisurely at this moment, and the speed was still very fast, just hitting Gu Jun's jumping body.
This body is difficult to control in mid-air, and it is controlled up and down, and it is too difficult to avoid attacks.
Gu Jun was worried about how to crack it, but he saw the white tiger pounce, smashing the head of the horned snake with one claw, shaking his body, and grabbing the claws again, he actually stopped the thorny cage.
resolved Gu Jun's crisis in an instant, the white tiger was a little proud, shaking the tiger's tail, fart ~ twisted, and the tiger's tail slapped Gu Jun's body, making his body bounce two meters away from the cage here.
As soon as Gu Jun stood still, he saw countless iron thorns shooting from behind the white tiger, if he was not mistaken, these iron thorns actually shot out from the trunk of a towering ancient tree next to him, and they looked exactly like the iron thorns on the barbed iron cage.
The white tiger was showing Gu Jun its life-saving grace at the moment, where did he notice the danger behind him, he didn't even look back, and he was still there with a mouthful of white teeth, and his eyebrows were dancing.
"Be careful!"
While shouting, Gu Jun slid sideways over the white tiger and pushed it out with one palm, avoiding those iron spikes.
The situation was urgent, so Gu Jun's force to push the White Tiger was very violent, and the White Tiger, a top-level mysterious beast, was actually pushed and directly hit the tree on the side!
The tree shook as it slammed, and a lot of thistles fell from the tree, crackling like rain, and the smashed white tiger fled in all directions, embarrassed.
Gu Jun hurriedly withdrew with both palms, used the palm wind to disperse those thistles, and then used a thousand miles of feet, grabbed the neck of the white tiger, and threw it forward, directly out of this area.
The successive traps and dangerous creatures made Gu Jun and Baihu unable to guard against it, and they no longer dared to stay in this place, so they hurriedly slipped away to find the shadow of the ink frog. But I didn't think that other places were much better than here, and they were all traps. It's all one ring after another, one set on top of the other. Dizzying, exhausting, and dripping in cold sweat.
Finally found a place where there was no trap, and Gu Jun took a few breaths of fresh air. My mind began to spin around how to dodge these traps, and if I didn't get killed by them, I would be tired from dodging them, let alone going to find the Ink Frog.
Gu Jun closed his eyes and carefully recalled all the traps he had encountered in this black forest. Consider the potential connection between the similarities and differences of these traps......
"Wherever there is a trap, people and animals must have died, so there is a strong fishy smell. β
"But wherever there is a trap, because there have been dead people and animals, and there are creatures that eat dead bodies, there must be terrifying creatures near the traps, and this creature can avoid the traps and exist nearby, there must be a certain amount of wisdom, and the level of the beast body is naturally not low. If it's not a mysterious beast, it will also be a high-level magical beast. β
"Wherever there are traps, they are set up with the goal of passing people and animals, so the routes of the traps are all in a straight line to prevent people and animals from easily avoiding them. Therefore, the attacks of traps are also large-area, and there are few single-point attacks. The disadvantage of such a large-scale attack is that it is not flexible. β
"Large-area attacks with low agility and terrifying creatures are the hallmarks of this Black Forest trap. As long as you use your super spiritual sense to grasp the breath of the terrifying creatures, you will be able to locate the location of the trap. This avoids streamlining through traps, as long as you stand near them. You can clearly see if there is an ink frog in the trap!"
"Ink Frog, you wait for us! We will find you! Hold on! I know you're still alive! Wait for me!"
Gu Jun opened his eyes. His eyes were full of determination, he lifted the collar of the white tiger's neck, leaned out his transcendent spiritual sense, and began to determine the search route according to his own thoughts and spiritual feedback.
The journey began to go smoothly, Gu Jun had a smile on his face, and the white tiger was shocked in his eyes!
"How the hell did you do that?!You didn't encounter a single trap?!"
Gu Jun didn't have time to explain to the white tiger, just carried the neck of the white tiger and walked step by step, each step was very solid and steady, and gradually, they found the trace of the ink frog.
The smell of the ink frog's poisonous ink is fragrant, and Bai Hu and Gu Jun are quite familiar with it.
In a swamp in the forest, there was the smell of poison ink from ink frogs, which was faint but never dissipated.
Gu Jun and White Tiger glanced at each other, both catching a hint of anxiety in each other's eyes, and they looked at the quagmire together, making sure that the ink frog was inside.
Gu Jun leaned over and squatted beside the mire, pulled out the mud in the mire with his hand, pinched it between his fingers and looked at it carefully, sniffed, and actually felt dizzy.
Gu Jun subconsciously took a step back, he vaguely felt that this quagmire was not simple.
The mud in the mire alone has the function of dizzying, and if the whole body of the ink frog is sunk underneath, how can it be sober?
Gu Jun closed his eyes and felt the drop of spiritual blood belonging to the ink frog in his bodyβit was actually a little blackβa sign that his body was about to fall.
Gu Jun was anxious, he pointed to the quagmire and said to the white tiger: "I will go down from here to explore the life and death of the white tiger, and you will answer us above." β
The white tiger was stunned, the tiger's head shook like a rattle, and objected: "What are you kidding?! The ink frog is a mysterious beast! It is silent when it goes down, what can you do if you grow up in vain? Don't be unable to save the ink frog, but suffocate yourself inside!"
Gu Jun took out two detoxification pills from the storage bag on his waist, one in his mouth, and one into the mouth of the white tiger.
"With the Antidote Pill, I won't be so easily attacked by the poisonous gas of the mire! The reason why the ink frog will sink is that there must be some terrifying creatures in this quagmire. This creature must have no teeth, and it eats by swallowing, otherwise, it is impossible for the ink frog to still have the breath of life after falling into this quagmire for so long. Gu Jun said with a solemn expression, "So, I plan to jump into the mire and make food for that terrifying creature, and let it swallow me." I certainly can't beat the creatures that the ink frog can't beat, but I won't be poisoned, so I won't faint. If it swallows me, I can do it in its belly. I have a thousand machine blood armor on my body, and no matter how strong its digestive function is, it is impossible to digest this divine weapon. β
The white tiger was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't dare to speak.
"When I jumped, it would come out of the mire and swallow me. This is its only chance to show its head, and as soon as you see it swallow me, you will immediately grow larger, fly high into the air, and drag it out of the mire from above. It may not be easy to deal with. But I'll be with you inside and out. When it wants to resist you dragging it out of the mire, make trouble in its belly. When the time comes, it won't have the strength to resist you!"
When Baihu heard this, his jaw fell in amazement, and he kept nodding, but his heart was still hairy, and he spit out a sentence for a while: "This trip is dangerous, you have to be careful." β
"Don't worry!You know, I'm the most desperate for my life, and I won't let myself die easily!" Gu Jun's solemn expression was suddenly replaced by a mischievous smile, "What's the matter, I also have to see the 'wife' you whisper in my ear every day!" 'Wife' hasn't seen what it looks like, how can I be willing to die?"
The white tiger nodded silently, jumped into the canopy next to the mire, and covered his body with leaves.
Gu Jun took a deep breath, closed his eyes, felt the general location of the creature in the mire, no longer hesitated, and jumped into the mud above the creature's head with precision...... (To be continued......)
