Chapter 19: Nocturnal Barbarism
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was cloudless.
When Hua Xia Jiu saw the first rays of sunlight through the Cangman Mountains and into Heba City, he lay on the lawn and read a book while basking in the sun.
Tang Guanshu and other ten followers of the God of Darkness were not only not surprised that the gods never had to eat, drink and Lazar, but they took it for granted. The divine envoy is naturally no longer a mortal, and he can use mortal fireworks.
As for the divine envoy's love of basking in the sun, although everyone wondered why the great envoy of the god of darkness not only did not like darkness, but liked the sun, but they were almost fanatical about their devotion to the god of darkness, and attributed all this to the fact that the world of gods was not something that mortals could guess.
The original books in the house, Hua Xia Jiu had already read them five days ago, and the books he read in the past five days were all Xu Jianhong specially sent his house together with a large number of books after learning that Hua Xia Jiu liked to read all kinds of books. In addition, Hua Xia Jiu asked Tang Guanshu and others to spend a lot of money to buy all kinds of books in Heba City. That's why Huaxia Jiu kept reading books in five days.
Through the content of these books, Hua Xia Jiu's understanding of the world has also become more advanced, although the content of the book may not be consistent with the actual situation, but it does not prevent him from reasoning and calculating certain things with this.
.........
At night, the wind and clouds surged, the dark clouds were thick, the night was deep, the silver moon and stars were hidden behind the thick clouds, the river dam city, the savage plain, everything on the earth was swallowed by the night.
To go to the Cangman Mountain Range, Hua Xia Jiu not only did not hide it from Xu Jianhong, but also reported it truthfully.
Hua Xia Jiu wore the black short-shirted samurai uniform often worn by human warriors in this world, rode a good horse, and rode alone towards a place in the Cangban Mountain Range in the memory of the colorful tiger demon king.
Hundreds of meters behind Hua Xia Jiu, a black shadow followed behind him like a leisurely walk, and every time he stepped down, he quietly floated forward for dozens of meters, and the distance from the single rider in front remained unchanged.
Hua Xia Jiu was unaware of this. Since the moment he left Heba City, a map appeared in his mind, the map was very simple, only three place names of Heba City, Cangman Plain and Cangman Mountain Range and a thin green line, the thin line connected Heba City at one end, and a red dot around the middle of the Cangman Mountain Range at the other end, and the thin line from Heba City to the foot of the Cangman Mountain Range was a straight line, and it did not become an irregular curve until it entered the Cangman Mountain Range.
This is Hua Xia Jiu according to the memory of the colorful Tiger Demon King, forming a road map in his mind in advance, with this road map, he does not have to worry about getting lost in the darkness of pitch black, and he can't see his fingers, and even follow the best route as much as possible.
Five years ago, there were still many human towns in the Cangban Plain, although not to mention how prosperous they were, but throughout the north and south of the entire southwest region, there were hundreds of thousands of people in the Cangban Plain running through the three counties, and now there are very few humans who were deliberately left in captivity by the demon clan to mine and forge weapons. Except for a few of the rest of the human race, they have fled to the area controlled by humans, and the rest have all been reduced to demon rations.
Along the way, although the demon clan did not encounter it, but the wolves, cheetahs, brown bears and other beasts that came out to forage at night did encounter a lot, but under the ears of the Huaxia Nine Electronic Telescope and the sonic radar, these beasts were discovered in advance and deliberately bypassed. In this way, although the travel time is a little longer, fortunately, it is safe.
More than 600 miles from Heba City to the Cangman Mountain Range, Huaxia Jiu let the war horse rest for half an hour in the middle of the way, ate and drank some water and grain and grass that he brought with him, and waited until the periphery of the Cangman Mountain Range, it was already the second half of the night.
Cangman Mountain Range, the largest mountain range in the southwest, runs north-south, spans 3,000 miles, and is endless. The mountains are towering and the ancient trees are standing. Among them, the demon clan dominates, the fierce beasts are rampant, and the Demon Ape Emperor of the famous Xiuzhen Realm is in the depths of this mountain range. Legend has it that there are also desolate species hidden in the depths of the mountain range, which have survived from ancient times to the present, for tens of thousands of years, but the time is too long, and no one can see it, so no one has verified it, and most people in the world do not believe it.
There is also a legend that there is also a powerful and long-standing hidden Buddhist sect in this barbarian mountain range, of course, this legend is only passed down by word of mouth in the cultivation world. For countless years, many people who asked for fate asked, regardless of the danger, went deep into the barbarian mountain range, and searched for the hidden sect, but none of them were found. Among them, there are many people who are strong in their own strength and have a high realm.
At the foot of the outer part of the mountain range, Hua Xia Jiu reluctantly got off the war horse, unsaddled it, and released it.
The demonic aura in the Barbarian Mountains is pervasive, and all kinds of powerful auras are lurking secretly. The war horse was psychic, sensed the danger, and refused to enter the mountain.
"In this way, it will take some more electricity, and I hope that the sun can be basking in this barbarian mountain range. Hua Xia Jiu muttered to himself while holding a long sword and a longbow on his back, and drilled into the dense forest of giant trees in front of him, running at a constant speed in a certain direction at the most power-saving speed.
With the map in his mind, Hua Xia Jiu doesn't have to be distracted to find his way. And with the help of electronic eyes and radar ears, it is very difficult for ordinary fierce beasts and demon clans to ambush him, unless they are extremely good at lurking.
In the mountains and forests, a large number of dead wood and rotten leaves exude a rotten steaming miasma atmosphere, there are many insects, snakes, ants and beasts lying in the mud caves and stone caves at the roots of the trees, and among the dense branches and leaves of the ancient tree crown, small mountain and forest beasts such as fox squirrels seem to be afraid of something and dare not move.
"Whew!"
Suddenly, the space on the ancient wood tree on the left side of Huaxia Jiu twisted strangely, and a green shadow burst out out of thin air, with a fishy mucus and evil wind, and a lightning speed shot towards him, and a dangerous and vicious aura rushed towards his face.
"Oh no! Ambush!"
Hua Xia Jiu was slightly startled, the electronic eye and radar ear were completely unaware before, and it was too late to pull out his best bow and arrow from behind him or dodge it, the long sword in his right hand was on his side, dancing at a speed far beyond what ordinary humans could achieve, and at the same time, his toes exerted force on the ground, kicked violently, and under the huge explosive force, he did not retreat and counterattacked, and shot forward with all his strength.
"Boom!"
The long sword and the turquoise figure collided together, making a sound of iron and stone striking.
Bang!
After the turquoise figure struck, it instantly shrank back again.
Hua Xia Jiu rushed out five meters in an instant, frightened, and turned around to look in the direction where the green figure was coming.
A four-legged blue-green beast more than a meter long was lying on the ancient green tree.
The beast was covered in turquoise scales, almost exactly the same color as the ancient tree. Its abrupt eyelids moved, the protruding eyeballs were in the vertical orbital interval of the thin layer, and a hard spine on the bone shaft formed by the postorbital bone and the squamous bone looked as hard as iron, and it was this hard thorn that had just attacked Hua Xia Jiu.
"The chameleon iron lizard can change into the color of its surroundings and can go into hibernation for a short time, so it's no wonder it's completely undetectable. Hua Xia Jiu recognized the origin of this fierce beast, and his heart was secretly worried, and his vigilance increased greatly.
He has been in this world for more than ten days, not a long time, but the number of books he has read has far exceeded that of most human beings, and as long as the books he has read, the contents of them are included in his mind and can be consulted at any time.
And among these books are books about introducing the various fierce beasts and demon clans in the Barbarian Mountains. In particular, Xu Jianhong sent a book called "The Complete Book of Demon Clans and Fierce Beasts in the Cangman Mountain Range", which included all the demon clans and fierce beasts discovered by the Dawu Empire over the years, and had a detailed introduction to their characteristics and attack methods.
The chameleon iron lizard crawled quietly on the trunk of the ancient tree, its eyes moving rapidly, as if it was weighing the strength of the "opponent" in front of it.
Obviously, this human-looking creature in front of him, but without much flesh and blood, was difficult to deal with, and it lurked here to sneak attack with all its might, but it failed to hurt a bit. And what it does is to storm and sneak attack, and once this trick fails, it doesn't have many means at its disposal.
The chameleon iron lizard made a judgment and quickly jumped into the dense jungle, a green light appeared on the demon body, and the figure gradually faded, merging with the surrounding dark green ancient wood jungle, intending to stealthily enter the jungle and leave.
Having already been discovered by the chameleon iron lizard, how could Hua Xia Jiu let this kind of top-level 'assassin' leave, in case he lurked in front of him again to ambush him, or informed a certain demon clan of his figure, then there would be constant trouble. Hua Xia Jiu knew that every beast in this barbarian mountain range was the eyes and ears of the demon clan.
Whoosh -
I don't know when, Hua Xia Jiu's back bow and arrow were already in his hand, and he quickly shot two arrows, and the latter arrow followed closely behind the previous arrow, shooting at the same part.
Ding!
Although the chameleon iron lizard is not slow, and its body has been fused with the ancient wood jungle, it is locked by Huaxia Jiu's electronic eye, and it has no shape at all, but because of the hard scales on its body, one arrow failed to break through its defense, and only hit the previous arrow in the back, and the previous arrow broke through the defense, piercing it through the throat and nailing it to the ancient tree.
Hum――――
Hua Xia Jiu stared at the color-changing Tie Xi's corpse tightly, and an invisible electromagnetic wave shot out from his eyes, permeating around the color-changing Tie Xi's corpse, quietly detecting something.
After a few breaths, a cluster of white light emerged from the color-changing iron lizard's head, and followed the electromagnetic waves shot by Hua Xia Jiu and drilled into Hua Xia Jiu's eyes.
