Chapter 118: Mystery
This is an extremely vast expanse, and there is no end to the world!
Vast!
It exudes an atmosphere of antiquity and primitiveness.
And that creepy sense of crisis.
There are huge mountains, endless mountains, and lakes full of aura!
In the primeval forest, ancient trees are towering.
There are some ancient trees, which can reach a height of thousands of kilometers, and their lush branches and foliage cover a thousand acres of land. This may be an ancient tree that has grown for hundreds of millions of years!
There are brightly colored birds gliding in the sky, I don't know what kind of species it is, but the blood is vigorous, there is an ancient atmosphere, and thunder and lightning and flames are bred in the birds.
At the edge of the lake, there are behemoths drinking water.
"Knock! knock!"
A tiger with a length of twenty zhang came out from behind a 10,000-meter-high stone mountain, trampled on the earth, caused an earthquake, looked up at Xiao Han and others, roared, and shot a beam of light through the golden cracked stone in the tiger's eyes, but Xiao Mingchu's true qi transformed into a divine bird, a slight bird chirping, this giant tiger walked away, as if very unwilling.
On the back of the divine bird, Princess Moji, Hu Chenghe and the others were all frightened, and their whole bodies trembled.
Xiao Han also had a dry mouth. "Senior brother, this... Is this the Great Wilderness? really... It's so desolate... There are so many amazing and terrifying creatures......"
Thinking that he was going to grind in this great wilderness for two years, Xiao Han was nervous and excited in his heart.
But Xiao Han also thought that the ancient tribes and mysterious countries that grew up in this environment, the geniuses of the younger generation should indeed be very terrifying, and perhaps they were not comparable to those sect disciples in the southeast, northwest, and four regions.
"Senior Brother Xiao Han. Don't be nervous. This is only the outer area of the Great Wilderness. There aren't too many mortal dangers. A very relaxed expression appeared in Xiao Mingchu's eyes, as if he had returned to his warm hometown.
Xiao Han was surprised in his heart, "Senior brother, you seem to have lived in this great wilderness for a long time?"
"Hmm," Xiao Mingchu nodded. "Brother Wei left the sect many years ago and infiltrated the Great Wilderness to experience. Brother Wei is not like Senior Brother Dongfang and Senior Brother Fang Ling, who stay in the four regions of the southeast, northwest and northwest to cultivate. For my brother, I like the excitement and excitement of the wilderness. ”
The mythical bird began to fly low.
"Ahh Is that?" Xiao Han found that in a wasteland not far away, there was a skeleton of a giant beast!
The skeleton was very hideous, thirty zhang long, as white as jade, exuding monstrous ferocity, and the air in all directions was fluctuating and distorting.
The strong smell of savagery makes people's scalp tingle.
"Oh, this is a good skeleton, it can be used to chisel bone arrows. Xiao Mingchu's right hand grabbed out like lightning, and the huge true qi palm grabbed the skeleton, and the next moment. The skeleton, which was thirty feet long, disappeared without a trace. I don't know how Xiao Mingchu received this huge skeleton. It's incredible.
See Xiao Mingchu's means. Princess Moji, Hu Chenghe and the others were almost stupefied.
Soon, the divine bird flew lower and lower, and after swooping for dozens of miles against the ground, the divine bird turned into ten thousand rays of light and integrated into Xiao Mingchu's whole body. Under the leadership of Xiao Mingchu, everyone began to advance on foot.
Xiao Han didn't know Xiao Mingchu's cultivation, he tried to observe Xiao Mingchu's vitality state to see how many true acupoints he had opened, but he couldn't see that Xiao Mingchu's body was bright and as deep as the abyssal sea. Unfathomable.
Xiao Mingchu walked in front, and the old horse led the way. The crowd walked through a primeval forest of hazel bushes. By a natural lake in the forest, Xiao Han and the others saw a group of colorful sika deer, each of which was several zhang long, which was a wonder. However, the giant sika deer did not take the initiative to attack, and the two sides were safe.
Out of the jungle.
Suddenly, Xiao Mingchu's ears twitched a few times, and he stopped, signaling Xiao Han and the others not to make a sound.
The next moment...
Xiao Mingchu took out a wooden bow, took a bone arrow from the quiver on his back, bent the bow and set the arrow, like a full moon, aimed at the sky.
But there was nothing but white and delicate cotton clouds and a blazing sun on the sky.
Everyone was puzzled.
However, at this moment......
"Quack ~~~~~~~"
A birdsong came from the eastern sky.
Soon, a 20-meter-long luan bird flew over at lightning speed. Its feathers were fiery red, burning with flames, and its breath was so strong that the earth trembled.
That's it!
"Whew~~~~~~~~~"
Xiao Mingchu moved!
A bone arrow shoots at the bird flying high in the sky!
After the bone arrow left the string, it instantly turned into a dragon with teeth and claws, wrapped in endless divine glow, roaring and roaring, and the murderous aura was shocking!
The sky suddenly became dark, and the wind, rain, thunder and lightning lingered around the fierce Jiao turned into bone arrows, and it seemed that there was only this arrow left between heaven and earth!
Beams to the sky!
Dense runes bloomed like brilliant fireworks!
"Quack !!!"
The bird made a terrible cry, and it had a premonition of death, and it wanted to fly higher.
However......
"Poof!"
The fierce Jiao penetrated it directly!
A huge rune, shrouding the bird. Its vitality has been completely sealed.
Xiao Mingchu actually shot a fierce luan with an ancient aura with an arrow!
"Boom!"
Before the fierce Luan corpse fell, Xiao Mingchu grabbed it with his right hand, grabbed it with his big palm, and collected the huge Luan corpse.
The bone arrow that shot the fierce luan, like a living creature with vitality, circled in the sky, flew down directly, and inserted it into the quiver on Xiao Mingchu's back, very obedient.
"This luan bird is fat enough, but it is enough for the villagers of the ancient village to eat for more than ten days. Bird bones can be chiseled into bone arrows. Xiao Mingchu said lightly. It's as if what he shot just now was just a wild boar and wild dog, not the bloody and ferocious ferocious.
"Senior brother, you are really a terrible hunter..."Xiao Han sighed in his heart.
The junior brother smiled. Xiao Mingchu shrugged indifferently. "The creatures on the outskirts of this great wilderness are not terrible. The Luan bird just now has impure blood. Seriously. On combat effectiveness. It's far less than a demon emperor. ”
"Senior Brother Xiao Han, after this trial, if you can kill all kinds of fierce beasts and birds on the periphery of this great wilderness as you like, then the possibility of you becoming a demon hero in two years will be greatly increased. Xiao Mingchu said with a smile.
"Hmm!" Xiao Han nodded.
Just the fierce luan just now, Xiao Han knew that with his current combat strength, he would do his best. Even if you use the two demon methods of Movement and Tranquility and Heavenly Demon Sealing God, I am afraid that you will not be able to kill it, and it may be torn apart by the fierce luan.
If he can kill the murderous creatures on the periphery of the Great Wilderness as he wants, it does prove that Xiao Han's combat power has been greatly improved.
"Senior brother, when you arrive at that ancient village, how should the junior brother cultivate?" Xiao Han asked Xiao Mingchu with great interest.
"There's no need to cultivate," Xiao Mingchu actually looked up and smiled. "Senior Brother Xiao Han, as long as you can adapt to the life of the ancient village, then you will be considered to have completed the trial. ”
"Adapt to the life of the ancient village?" Xiao Hanhu hesitated.
"Yes, I will arrange for you to live in the ancient village for a year and a half. I hope you will be able to adapt to the life of the ancient village as soon as possible. Xiao Mingchu smiled mysteriously. "The village is very hidden. Even the many demon heroes who have been trained in the Great Wilderness for a long time, and even the natives of the Great Wilderness. They don't necessarily know the way. That's something I stumbled upon decades ago. The ancient village is isolated from the world, and the people in the village are very simple and kind. ”
"Senior Brother Xiao Han, if you can live in the ancient village for a year and a half and integrate into the lives of the villagers, then, after you walk out of the ancient village, you will be very easy to hunt down the fierce luan just now. Moreover, your true will be washed away again and again. Go one step further. ”
"By the way, Senior Brother, you said that you would help me refine my physical body, so, did you go to the ancient village to temper your physical body?" Xiao Han asked again and again.
"When you go, you'll know the way. Xiao Mingchu always refused to say anything.
In the next three days, Xiao Mingchu took Xiao Han and others to choose a deserted place to walk, and also bypassed a long and narrow valley.
The more you go, the more desolate it becomes.
Later, even the birds and beasts could not be seen.
It's almost as if you're going to a place where a man and beast are extinct.
On the morning of the fourth day, they came to a huge lake.
The water of the lake is strange, it is inky black, sticky as slurry, and exudes a fishy smell that makes people want to vomit.
"Uh... Xiao Han, this lake stinks..."Princess Inkmark pinched her nose and muttered to Xiao Han.
"It's quite stinky," Xiao Han frowned.
"Well, each of you drinks a liter of lake water. Suddenly, Xiao Mingchu stopped and pointed to the dirty and smelly lake. "You have to drink a full litre. ”
"Huh!?"
Everyone looked at each other.
The water in this lake stinks so badly that even smelling it makes people want to vomit, let alone drink it.
And you have to drink a liter so much.
"Senior brother, isn't it?" Xiao Han was shocked, he looked at Xiao Mingchu, distinguishing his appearance and color, and wondered if Xiao Mingchu was playing a prank.
However, Xiao Mingchu's face was very serious, which can be called serious. Since he met Xiao Mingchu, Xiao Hanshang saw him so serious for the first time.
"Drink quickly. Xiao Mingchu urged. "Next, we will enter a mysterious ancient village, where it is very strange that people from the outside world will die if they do not drink enough liters of water in this lake and enter the village. ”
"Drink!" Xiao Han observed for a while, and made sure that Xiao Mingchu was indeed not joking, so he said to Princess Moji, Hu Chenghe and the others.
After speaking, Xiao Han himself squatted down, wanting to hold the lake water and drink.
"Senior Brother Xiao Han, you don't have to drink. Xiao Mingchu said immediately.
"Huh?" Xiao Han looked up at Xiao Mingchu, "Senior brother, didn't you say that outsiders will die if they don't drink enough liters of lake water and enter the ancient village?"
"Senior Brother Xiao Han, you won't die, your physical cultivation is much, much stronger than theirs. And, for the sake of the trial, you must never drink the water. Xiao Mingchu smiled mysteriously. "Let them drink!"
Princess Moji obviously believed in Xiao Han very much now, so she didn't say much, took a water bladder from the handmaid behind her, squatted down herself, filled a water bladder with foul smelling lake water, pinched her nose and drank it.
Seeing that the princess had begun to drink, the others did not hesitate any longer, and began to drink their water.
However, the water of the lake is obviously very unpleasant, and the more people drink, the more ugly they become, and some even vomit.
"Remember, you have to drink a liter or you'll die in the ancient village. Xiao Mingchu cautiously reminded.
"Seventeen, what does the lake water smell like?" Xiao Han asked Princess Inkmark with a curious expression.
"It's bitter, very bitter, like drinking medicine. Princess Inkmark stuck out her tongue and continued to drink.
A few flesh realm warriors and a few young maidservants drank a few sips, but they really couldn't drink it, so they pretended to pretend to drink, and they talked about it privately.
"It's so bad. I don't want to drink a liter, it will kill people. ”
"What kind of ancient village is that? You can't die as soon as you enter, right? This demon must be scaring us. Xiao Han Shaoxia didn't drink this stinky water... Besides, we drank a few sips anyway, so we should be fine. ”
......
An hour later.
"Okay, everyone's had enough, right? Let's go! Xiao Mingchu led everyone around the stinky lake and continued to move forward.
The road ahead is getting more and more desolate, and no plants are growing. Everywhere there was a stone as black as iron.
Except for this stone, there is no longer any substance.
