Tongtian Mountain Range, reverse stone forest
The sun had just risen, and on the day of the red sun, the sky began to dazzle at this time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is a rare stone forest in the Tongtian Mountain Range, located somewhere in the Tongtian Mountain Range, and it is not very far from the Asahi Curtain Kingdom, but it is a little far from Yizhou City.
This reverse stone forest is not famous in the Tongtian Mountain Range, after all, this is an ordinary stone forest, and there are towering stalagmites erected within a range of hundreds of miles.
It's just that the landscape is not bad.
Within a radius of 100 miles, countless stalagmites are erected, with different heights and unevenness, firm and straight, like fingers, pointing straight to the sky.
This place is very desolate, life is scarce, and even the types of demon beasts are extremely single, after all, there are only piles of stones here, and most of the earth is made of rocks, and it is difficult for flowers and trees to get nutrients and grow here.
The woods don't stretch to this side, so it's hard for creatures to be found here, because it's hard to survive here without food.
And the only monster beast that survives here is only a monster that feeds on sand and gravel and residual grass, and is called Dilong Beast.
The body of the Dilong beast is not huge, the size is the size of a buffalo, the head is like a black, but the neck is not long, there are two horns on the forehead, the body is like a bear, but people stand up and stand for a long time. The front claws have three sharp claw blades about two inches long, which can cut through sand and gravel, and the force under one claw is very strong, and it is usually used as a tool for digging mountain rocks.
These claws are also its weapons, and when attacked, it will use them to attack enemies in anger.
At the same time, it has a hard shell, and has the nickname of the Iron Beast.
If you really want to recount, it is not only the outer skin, but there is not a single part of the whole body that is not made of rock.
Because of this, the brains of this kind of monsters are underdeveloped, and even the brains are piles of stones, and there are no emotional changes in normal survival.
And this monster is usually very tame, don't be afraid when you pass by it, as long as you don't provoke it, it's not much aggressive.
And because this kind of monster is almost made of stones all over the body, it is still an ordinary monster, and it can barely be counted as a little demon.
There is nothing to be desired in the body at all.
In this way, although there are so many Dilong beasts living in this stone forest, there are still few people who come to hunt them.
Because here, everywhere live the Ground Dragons.
It is only after one of them has suffered a near-fatal attack that it roars with a terrible tremor and sends a signal to its companions, marking those who wound it as an enemy, inviting a herd of Terry beasts, which is extremely dangerous.
In this way, few people will have the leisure to walk around this place.
After all, there are no resources to be found.
And today, strange things are happening here, so strange that even the surrounding Earth Dragon Beasts have gathered their eyes.
Because there was a boulder moving, moving forward, slowly, but gently, and it had been going on for five days.
This boulder is huge, like a small mountain, and weighs thousands of catties.
It's moving, and there's a figure underneath the boulder,
It was a shirtless young man, moving between the boulders, there was no true qi aura on his body, only a faint red light on his chest was gently flickering.
In the thirty-six stripes, there is a very small amount of red energy transmitting.
His skin was dark, and his muscles were perfect, and he looked full of strength.
On the skin, a lot of sweat is flowing out, constantly dripping on the ground.
His body was bent a little, and the boulder was so heavy that he had to stabilize for a while with each step he took before he could continue to take another step.
Under his pair of sword eyebrows, his pupils were a little dilated, his lips were pale, his thirst was abnormal, and even when he didn't move, he was wheezing violently.
Because he had been carrying the boulder for a long time, he was already exhausted by this time.
But he didn't put the boulder down, he still persevered, carrying the boulder on his back and moving forward.
"I walked on my back for five hours with a boulder, and I was able to run lightly from the beginning, and now I have come back in a circle in the preset position. ”
While moving, Zhou Chenxi's consciousness was blurred, and with such thoughts, he glanced at a large cauldron under a towering stalagmite in front of him.
It's not so much a cauldron as a giant iron bucket.
Because although the pot mouth is round, it extends downward, but it does not turn into an arc-shaped pot bottom, and is connected with the other side of the pot mouth, showing a semicircle.
Rather, it is a straight line, which is connected to the bottom, and becomes a cylindrical shape.
The iron bucket is huge enough to accommodate one person sitting inside the bucket.
Underneath the pot, a stove was built, and the inside of the stove was pitch black and covered with soot. And in these charcoal ashes, there is still a little unburned coal, a little bit of fire is flashing, sometimes bright and sometimes dark.
And above the iron bucket, there is a pot lid that covers it, revealing no information.
Zhou Chenxi's footsteps were moving, his consciousness was already extremely blurred, and he couldn't look at the big bucket in front of him clearly.
The muscles were extremely sore, and the whole body was tired.
With every step he moved, his whole body had to tremble for a while before it stabilized. At this time, if it weren't for the faint energy of the ancient rune in his chest that was transmitting, giving him the strength to support it, otherwise he would have been pressed under the boulder and couldn't move.
"One hundred and ten steps away!"
In Zhou Chenxi's divine sense, the voice of the old man came out and said like this.
Because he had already seen that Zhou Chenxi's spirit had been squeezed out by himself too much, and his mind was not clear, and he couldn't tell how many steps he was still from the iron bucket.
He also reminded him at this time.
"A hundred... Ten steps... ? ”
One hundred and ten steps, for ordinary people, the distance is very short, and it is only a matter of a few minutes to walk out.
But for the current Zhou Chenxi, it seems to have ascended to the sky.
Because his physical body has reached the limit, even with the support of ancient runes, it is extremely difficult, and it requires great perseverance to step through.
Carrying a boulder weighing thousands of catties on his back for five hours is not something that ordinary monks can do.
Sweat continued to drip down, and the ancient runes on his chest were shining slightly, transmitting a trace of energy, helping Zhou Chenxi to support his body.
Gritting his teeth, he took another step.
After a moment of stability, he took a step and spilled a large amount of sweat.
"Whew, this amount of sweat, even if it reaches the iron bucket for a while, it will be permeable. ”
The old man sighed in his heart, observing, ready to probe out his divine sense at any time, to stimulate Zhou Chenxi, so that he would not faint.
Because Zhou Chenxi is carrying thousands of catties of boulders on his back, if he is pressed down, although he is immortal, he will lose half of his life.
Time is passing, Zhou Chenxi's footsteps still don't stop, and in a blink of an eye, he has taken fifty steps.
But even so, there are still sixty steps to go.
At this time, Zhou Chenxi's consciousness was scattered, and there was no way to look ahead. He could only bow his head, his pale lips moving slightly, and some small voice was coming out.
"One step ahead...... In the ...... of taking a step"
He kept repeating these words, supporting himself.
"The last essence blood of the Kun Ghost Fish Emperor is very important, and today is also the last medicinal bath. ”
"Exploiting one's own physical limits is like self-harm. ”
"You need to fight with great perseverance, which is very difficult, because people are like this, and most people will choose to give up when they encounter difficulties, especially now, countless people will choose to give up the remaining road, thinking that it is just so-so. ”
"But if you do things so-so, you can only do so-so for the rest of your life. ”
"It's done, it's done so and so, it's two completely different situations. ”
And in this case, the overflow of the medicinal bath is also different. ”
In his mind, the voice of the old man came out, and he was telling, all of which were for Zhou Chenxi.
Zhou Chenxi's consciousness was vague, but he also heard the words of asking the old, and he didn't have the strength to pay attention to the old man, his footsteps still didn't stop, and he didn't give up at all, or he was so-so halfway.
The footsteps were moving, and in the last ten steps, Zhou Chenxi's wheezing sound was extremely strong, and every step was difficult and abnormal.
The boulder on his back weighed like 10,000 catties or 100,000 catties at this time, and he was almost out of breath.
It was as if the feet were filled with lead, and it was extremely difficult to lift them.
After the last ten steps, his mind was almost unclear, and his whole person was confused, but the boulder he was carrying was not dropped by him, and he continued to move forward, already relying on instinct to walk.
He didn't open his mouth when he asked the elder, he knew that although Zhou Chenxi's mind was no longer clear, the limit of his body had not yet been reached, because he was persistent, wanted to break through, and continued to move forward.
It wasn't until in front of the iron bucket that Zhou Chenxi glanced at the iron bucket weakly, and the boulder he was carrying was thrown down by him.
There was a loud bang, and the boulder fell to the ground, causing a tremor around it, and then rolled to the side.
After putting down the boulder, Zhou Chenxi's pupils did not have any expression, it was pitch black and empty, and he pulled it down with his hand, and he couldn't lift it up after putting it down.
And the lid of the iron bucket was so big that he couldn't lift his hand, so he could only use his chin to push it a few times, but fortunately, the lid was not very tight, and he opened it as soon as he pushed it on, and it fell to the side.
As soon as the lid of the iron bucket was opened, a burst of intense bitterness was immediately emitted, which was the smell of medicine.
Looking inward, the potion in the iron bucket was full of various medicinal herbs, floating above the medicine barrel, like a hodgepodge, steamed in a pot.
At the same time, the potion was jet black and looked extremely disgusting.
Zhou Chenxi didn't react to this, and he didn't feel disgusted, as soon as the whole person stood up, he was head-down, like a worm, and the whole person scrept into the medicine barrel.
After he entered the medicine barrel, the entire medicine barrel was completely filled, and then there was no movement, and it fell silent.
After a few moments, the liquid in the medicine barrel began to tumble, and hot gas continued to emerge, and red glows flickered from under the barrel.
The liquid medicine is constantly bleaching between the tumbling, and the original black liquid is much more innocent after a while!
