Volume 1 Chapter 8 The Guards Do Not Steal Themselves
If the black-robed man was here that night, he would definitely understand that this was the effect he wanted to see but didn't see, and this effect was far from the peak that it could achieve.
The group of people who fled led by Shen Xiao heard the sound, they didn't dare to look back, and even accelerated the pace of escape, they felt that Mo Qi's people must have been blasted into pulp by the demon beast.
At this time, they met the people who caught up with the echelon behind, and immediately persuaded each other with kind words: "Let's go back, there is a once-in-a-century demon beast in front, and if you can't get by, let's try your luck again next year." ”
The people in the back echelon were basically not hindered along the way, although they also encountered one or two fierce beasts, but they were not very strong, with the concerted efforts of everyone, although they also broke two or three people, but they all cut off these troubles one by one.
At this time, although their number was small, only five people, their confidence in the enemy's victory skyrocketed.
If you let them go back at this time, how will they be willing to go back? Although the demon beast in front of it looks really powerful, what if you don't encounter it, what if the people in front of you have solved the trouble? The reason why these people are walking behind also has their own plans.
So this group ignored the words of Shen Xiao and the others and continued to move forward.
Shen Xiao shook his head: "I've done my best, if you want to die, I can't help it." ”
At this time, where Moqi, Golden Egg, Baili Bing and the other people were, the forest in front of them had been razed to the ground, and a broad road appeared in front of them, which had reached the edge of the forest.
The first to turn back was Moqi, everything in sight seemed to have been destroyed, and the ground had been sliced off a layer by brush, and at a glance, it was a yellow earth formed by fresh earth.
And there were two shiny things rolling on the ground that caught Mochi's attention, and Mochi stepped forward and picked them up, two crystal clear beads.
Looking at the size, like the middle part of the toad's eyeball, he didn't expect to experience such a big explosion and still be intact, he felt that this should be a treasure, and while the others were not paying attention, he put them away, so as not to cause unnecessary disputes.
Four people share two things, how is it not enough, it is better to swallow it alone.
When Golden Egg, Baili Bing and the other person were escaping, they heard a loud noise behind them, thinking that Mo Qi had been bombarded by the fragments of the city, and did not dare to look back.
When the bird was startled and flew away, and everything had settled, they turned back and saw the vast new land, and Moqi standing there with a blank face.
Golden Egg quickly ran to Mo Qi and looked at Mo Qi with a shocked expression: "What the hell have you done?" "He believed that Mochi had an extraordinary strength in him, but he was not perverted to such an extent.
Mo Qi looked aggrieved and spread his hands: "I didn't do it." "Truth be told, it's true that he didn't do it.
"So is there anyone secretly helping us?" Baili Bing looked at the sky and said.
"Maybe, it looks like we should all be expected to pass the test." The man who did not know his name said.
At this time, there were only four people left, and Mo Qi felt that he should exchange names, so he asked that person, and only then did he know that his name was Ma Xiaolin.
The rest of the way, walking briskly, everyone talked and laughed, until they reached the end of this broad road, that is, the edge of the Blackwood Forest.
When they came to the end, Ma Xiaolin couldn't help but sigh: "If someone is secretly helping us, then this person is too powerful, I heard that the cultivation of immortal cultivators is divided into condensation, foundation building, Jindan, Yuanying, distraction, Hinayana, Mahayana, tribulation, and ascension...... After ascending, I heard that I can still cultivate upwards, but I don't know what realm it is. I think this person who is helping us in the dark has at least a cultivation above the Yuan Infant. ”
The few of them originally planned to find tall trees to rest at the edge of the Blackwood Forest, but seeing that it was still early, they discussed with each other and decided to continue walking forward and find a cave to rest at the foot of Yinlong Mountain.
The place where Yinlong Mountain is close to the top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round, and the foot of the mountain should not be too cold because of the leeward.
Out of the Blackwood Forest, there was no threat from wild beasts, and the road was unimpeded, wading through a small river, crossing a hill, and the foot of Yinlong Mountain was already within reach.
At this time, everyone was surprised to find that there was a particularly large cave on this hill, and everyone was worried that they would not be able to find the cave at the foot of Yinlong Mountain, so they immediately decided to rest in this cave.
Mo Qi looked at the topography of the cave, which was several zhang deep and had a bottleneck-shaped protrusion in the middle, which happened to divide the cave into two rooms, inside and outside.
Although they are connected, they are also distinct.
Mo Qi immediately made an arrangement: Baili Bing rested in the cave, and the other three rested outside. The trio were unanimous in favor.
Everyone went separately to collect some firewood, grass, and leaves, and spread them in the cave, and then took out the spare clothes in their respective bags and spread them on them, and each made a simple bed.
After everyone finished making the bed, Ma Xiaolin was ready to take out the dry food in his bag and share it with everyone. Baili Bing suddenly blushed and said, "You all go out for a while, go farther, I want to change my clothes." ”
The dress sprayed with dark green juice, she wore it on her body, and she felt uncomfortable all over, and she didn't want to take it off all the time, but she never had a chance.
The three of them immediately walked out very cooperatively, and Baili Bing suddenly shouted a little shyly: "Please Mo Qi stay for a while." ”
"Oh? Is it so fast? Jin Dan and Ma Xiaolin glanced at each other, with a wicked smile on their faces.
Mo Qi was also a little confused, and looked at Baili Bing in surprise, what is this for?
"What are you thinking? If there is no one left to guard the door, what if someone or a wild beast breaks in? Baili Bing said angrily.
"Oh, it turned out to be the door." Jin Dan and Ma Xiaolin said playfully. "If you guard the door, you naturally have to find someone with strong martial arts." After saying that, the two smiled and left quickly.
Somewhat embarrassed, Mochi walked out of the cave, turned his back on his face, and looked at the distant sky outside the cave, as if he had no ears to what was going on outside the window.
Baili Bing was still afraid that Mo Qi would look back, so she took her clothes and walked behind the bottleneck-shaped protrusion, which could help her block a lot of spring light.
Listening to the sound of Suosuo inside, a wild horse that had escaped from the reins in Moqi's mind galloped wildly, and he unconsciously fell into a reverie.
But he knows very well that he is the doorkeeper, and he can't guard himself! He also began to wonder if Baili Bing asked him to guard the door on purpose, and whether she wanted to use this to dispel her idea of wanting to peek.
He suddenly thought of Lu Xiaoyue, and had to admit that she was indeed very beautiful at that time, but did he really like her at that time? If you have to say that you like it, it must be that you like her beauty.
However, after experiencing many hardships and dangers and tasting many bitterness, he suddenly found that beauty, sometimes fatal, Lu Xiaoyue almost suffocated herself in the water, not to mention.
Once, on the road, he heard the cry of a man who was sleeping in the wilderness, and a beautiful woman had cheated him out of all his belongings and then turned his face away from anyone.
Therefore, liking should be based on some kind of trust, and he felt a little ridiculous about what he did on the river at that time, maybe he was young and ignorant at the time, and he laughed at himself so much.
But at the same time, he also knew that he was only a little more than a year older.
And now, although the idea of finding Lu Xiaoyue is still so strong, it is just to make an end to what happened before. At least, that disdainful look should be given back to him.
Let's talk about it when we have a chance, maybe I won't have a chance in this life.
Just as Mo Qi was in a reverie, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "I'm done, you can all come in." ”
Mo Qi looked at this time and found that the golden egg and Ma Xiaolin were gone.
Although the two of them walked far away, Mo Qi had clearly seen them sitting under a tree within his sight to rest, why did they disappear in a blink of an eye?
When he was about to call the name of the golden egg, he saw a group of people turn out of the path behind the tree, led by the two people who were the golden egg and Ma Xiaolin, followed by two strange faces.
Seeing some blood stains on their bodies from a distance, Mo Qi immediately understood that it was the assessors from the rear camp who followed. There are only two people left? It seems that they must have gone through a series of tragic battles to get here.
Walking closer, Jin Dan stood still, squeezed his eyebrows and asked, "Have you finished changing?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Baili Bing came out of it, still dressed tightly, but the whole person was refreshed, as if he was more heroic.
The names of the six people exchanged names, and Mo Qi knew that these two people, one was named Yu Ming and the other was He Jinshan.
After they came in, Baili Bing still slept alone in a cave inside, and the five men slept in a cave outside. Originally, the cave outside was relatively spacious, and the three people slept a little loosely, and the five people were just right to squeeze together.
While the two were making the bed, Mochi went out and snapped some twigs and came back, breaking them into pieces slightly longer than daggers, and sharpening one end with a knife. After making some samples, he asked everyone to help make the same branches.
Golden Egg asked curiously, "What are you doing with that thing?" ”
Mochi sold a pass: "I may use it for mountain climbing tomorrow." ”
As soon as they heard that it would be used for mountaineering, everyone did not hesitate and made the same branches according to Mochi's request.
After enough branches were made, night fell quietly. A fire was lit outside the cave, and everyone sat around the bonfire, and they all took out their own dry food and shared it together.
A group of people came together because of the assessment, and because they had experienced the test of life and death together, they were particularly attached to each other, and they started to talk about everything when they were eating dry food, as if they were friends who had known each other for many years.
I don't know who talked about Shen Xiao, Yu Ming confirmed it, and said with great certainty: "We did meet them, and they persuaded us to go back." Everyone couldn't help but sigh.
Yu Ming instantly fell into a sad mood again, and muttered, "Maybe my brother and I should really go back with them, and my brother won't ......." ”
Later, they came across a rushing herd of beasts, in which his brother and two others died. Everyone was comforted again.
Later, I talked about the assessment that will continue tomorrow, and suddenly remembered that I had to go through a test of perseverance and endurance, so I had to forcibly give up those unfinished household chores and unfinished bulls, and each made some preparations for climbing the mountain tomorrow, and then entered the cave to rest one after another.
It's night, there's nothing to say.
The next day, when the sky was just bright, everyone either changed into thick clothes, or put on a few more clothes outside, and after hastily eating dry food, they marched towards Yinlong Mountain one after another.
The first half of Yinlong Mountain was not very steep, and everyone quickly went up to the halfway point of the mountain, and the chill on the top of the mountain invaded, which could already make people feel a slight coolness.
Continuing upwards, you will enter a white area, at this time there is no snow on the mountain, but there is a cold wind whistling by, like a knife blade on the face of the knife, compared with the halfway up the mountain, as if entering another world.
At this time, the walk is moving forward against the strong wind, and every step is very difficult, and it is sometimes deep and sometimes shallow, and stumbling.
The further you go, the steeper it becomes, and it's basically one step at a time, and the chill on your body is getting stronger and stronger because your shoes are already soaked. Fortunately, everyone supported each other, encouraged each other, and slowly moved forward one by one.
When they finally reached a staircase, they saw a wide platform, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but then they frowned unconsciously.
I saw a steep cliff in front of me, so steep that it was almost upright, and it was very flat, as if it had been split diagonally by the Heavenly Divine Axe. You can almost certainly climb this cliff and reach the top.
But even if the top of the mountain is close at hand, everyone feels that it is far away in the sky, how can this go up, the feet are not stable, there is no place to grasp the hands, there is no place to borrow strength.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Mochi took out the branches that had been cut yesterday from his baggage, walked to the front of the cliff, and then stuck a branch into the cliff in everyone's stunned eyes.
That kind of understatement, it's like an ordinary person sticking a knife into the dirt.
Only the golden egg is not surprised at all, the grassroots have seen the birds, what is this? At this moment, he finally understood the intention of Moqi to cut the branches last night.
Immediately after that, the same branch is inserted in a parallel position, and then two parallel branches are inserted at a distance of one foot diagonally.
Then in turn, a branch is inserted directly above the parallel branches as a handle. Everyone's eyes gradually lit up, and Mo Qi's figure also became majestic in their eyes.
At this time, no one noticed that Ma Xiaolin's lips were purple from the cold, and his whole body was like sifting chaff, and he couldn't stop shaking, perhaps because of his physical strength, his shoes were soaked and he felt more intense than others.
Everyone followed behind Mo Qi one after another, climbed up the ladder he had built, and handed him the branches in their baggage in turn, so everyone rose slowly, Ma Xiaolin instinctively followed everyone to climb up, and then handed the branches in his baggage to the people in front.
His hands were stiff, it was difficult for his fingers to bend, and every time he grabbed a branch, he felt like he was going to let go, but he still climbed up without saying a word, and his consciousness gradually blurred.
Just as everyone climbed to the top of the cliff one after another, they heard a dull sound.
When everyone looked back, they immediately felt sad, Ma Xiaolin had already fallen, fell on the platform, his head was broken, deformed, and he definitely couldn't survive.
Everyone sighed in unison, and at this time, everyone was moving forward against the invasion of the cold, and all parts of their bodies were frozen, and they could only walk with the support of their will.
Everyone looked into the distance, and it could be seen that the road down the mountain was not so steep, but when everyone's physical strength was almost overdrawn, it was even more difficult to go down the mountain.
With every step, my feet trembled, and with every step, it seemed to slide down. In this state, the only team of five people moved very slowly, and everyone was unconsciously anxious, and secretly quickened their pace.
Suddenly, Baili Bing's feet slipped, and her body slid down at a high speed, she grabbed the ground, only grabbed a handful of snow, and her body still slid down uncontrollably, and suddenly hit He Jinshan in front.
He Jinshan's body was already crumbling, and under the impact, his body flew out, fell in the direction of the cliff, and fell into the abyss.
Under that impact, Baili Ice fell in the opposite direction and fell into a small ravine. fell into the eye, and his left leg was hung up due to the impact, but he managed to save his life. It's equivalent to a life for a life.
Baili Bing struggled to sit up, tears welling up in his eyes: "I killed him." ”
Mo Qi glanced at the cliff and knew that He Jinshan was no longer saved, so he hurriedly turned around to pay attention to Baili Bing's situation, and was relieved to see that she hadn't fallen too far.
He took three or two steps, jumped down, and arrived in front of Baili Bing.
Among all of them, he is the only one who is particularly relaxed. Strange to say, I don't know when he has no concept of cold, once the outside world is cold, there is a warm current in his body to stop those cold attacks.
And once you don't feel the cold, you feel as light as a swallow, and you have a good control over these slippery and steep roads. So people are struggling, and every step feels like life and death, but he is walking on the ground.
"It was just an accident, don't blame yourself." Mochi stood beside her, a little confused, and comforted.
Baili Bing just buried his head and cried.
The other two stood on a slope, facing the wind, and a little trembling, with anxiety in their eyes, anxiously waiting for Baili Ice to climb up. They didn't dare to go down into this ravine, and they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to go up after they came down, and the cold would feel fast
Engulfed the whole person, and it is not good to walk away alone, if there is a need, they will still come down.
"Get up and go, you can't sit on the ground." Mo Qi said anxiously. The longer you sit, the harder it is to stand up.
"I couldn't walk, I broke my leg." Baili Bing looked up a little sadly, "You don't care about me, you can go." ”
"Let's go." Mochi said firmly.
A slight smile appeared on Baili Bing's face: "Hearing your words, I am content." But you and I both know that I can't walk anymore, and if I want to walk with you, then you have to support me, not to mention that time allows, it is very likely that we will all die here. ”
Mo Qi's eyes were unusually firm: "The matter of time, we don't think about it now, as for death, I think that dying one is no different from dying four, because if we leave you and walk out, even if we live, it is better to live than to die." ”
When Baili Bing heard this, his body trembled obviously, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and he immediately lowered his head and cried with a whimper.
Mo Qi was so anxious that if he continued to grind, everyone might really die here.
At the moment, no matter what the difference between men and women is, he stepped forward and grabbed her shoulders, lifted her up, and forcibly grabbed her hands, and then turned his back, and with a cat's waist, he carried Baili Bing on his back.
Baili Bing didn't expect the other party to be so bold, and he was stupid.
After a while, he came to his senses, the flush had covered his entire cheeks, and the pink fist hit Mo Qi's shoulder like a raindrop, and said coquettishly: "You let me down." ”
Mo Qi ignored her attack, he obviously knew that the other party was not really attacking him, if he took out the strength of cutting centipedes, where could he bear it.
Baili Bing was beaten for a while, but when he saw that it had no effect, he stopped beating it.
"You hold me tight." Mo Qi said suddenly, as if commanded.
Shameless, who wants to hold you tight. Baili Bing scolded in his heart.
However, she suddenly saw Mo Qi holding a branch in his hand, facing the dirt slope in front of him, and his face was solemnly inhaling, as if he was gathering momentum, ready to rush forward. He had no choice but to stretch out his hands very aggrieved and put his arms around Mochi's waist.
As she expected, as soon as she put her arms around his waist, Mochi rushed towards the dirt slope.
When he reached the front of the dirt slope, he inserted half of the branch in his hand into the cliff of the steep slope, pressed it down, jumped up with the help of his strength, and landed gently and skillfully on the platform above. Then go down the slope first.
Jin Dan and Yu Ming breathed a long sigh of relief, and they could finally go, as if they had been pardoned, and walked down happily. If it were to be another time, they might have to make fun of Mochi, but it was really inappropriate and not in the mood at this time.
Mo Qi carried a person on his back, and he had to fix her with his hands, and his balance was affected to a certain extent, and he still swayed when he walked, and sometimes he had to slip a little, which was full of dangers.
The Baili Bing on his back was also very clear in his heart at this time, if he changed someone, he would not be able to do this at all, I am afraid that he could only choose one between waiting for death and falling to death, and she was glad that she met Mo Qi.
Before she knew it, her head was resting on Mochi's back.
Unconsciously, everyone had walked out of the snow-covered area, and Mo Qi was in a good mood and teased: "Girl, don't hug so tightly, we have already walked out of the snowy area." ”
