Chapter Twenty-Seven: Arriving at the Demon Mountain
Walking in a place where no one was around, Shen Mu took out the task card and began to examine it carefully.
The quest board reads:
"Investigate the maturity of the "Zhu Lingguo" in the "Beast King Valley" in the "Demon Suppression Mountain", and report the information to the true legend Su Qing'e. ”
The mission card is very detailed, not only with the introduction and map of the Demon Mountain, but also explains where Shen Mu should go now.
Demon Mountain is a mysterious place where the righteous sects hold the demons of the Demon Dao, there is no daylight here, the light is dim, there are some natural disasters, and there are fierce beasts from time to time.
And guarding the safety of the Demon Mountain is a group of righteous disciples named "Demon Killer Guard".
The Beast King Valley that Shen Mu is going to is said to have a demon beast named "Beast King", the strength of the Qi Refining Realm is perfect, extremely cunning, and the Demon Removal Guard has captured it several times, but he has not caught it.
And this "Zhu Lingguo" should indeed have this thing, and the "Demon Source Crystal" that Su Qing'e wanted must be nearby, but in order to hide people's eyes, I will call it on my behalf.
Shen Mu should now step on the teleportation circle of Bai Shou Peak, and then teleport to the Demon Suppression Mountain.
Qingzhu Peak is too far away from Baishou Peak, if you hike, you have to walk all day.
Fortunately, the "Walkerland" has a service of renting griffins, and after Shen Mu showed Su Qing'e's token, the "Walkerland" actually did not even collect a little spirit stone from Shen Mu, and directly selected the most docile "griffin" for Shen Mu.
The "griffin" has the body and claws of a lion, the head and wings of an eagle, and as early as the Great War of the Righteous Demons, the griffin was domesticated as a royal beast to transport supplies.
Now, thousands of years later, the griffin has become an inseparable part of the Righteous Path Sect.
This griffin was obviously very docile indeed, and when Shen Mu climbed up its back with the help of tools, the griffin was only grooming its hair, and did not look irritated.
Shen Mu mounted the griffin, his legs clamped, and after the people in the walker hall gave orders to the griffin, the griffin carried Shen Mu and flew towards Baishou Peak.
The griffons fly extremely fast, quickly passing through many mountain peaks along the way.
Shen Mu looked down, and the person under his feet was already as small as a soybean.
The wind on the road was so windy that he couldn't open his eyes, and Shen Mu's legs tightly clamped the back of the griffin,
This was the first time Shen Mu had sat on a griffin, watching the griffin constantly shuttling between the peaks, and he had to avoid some vines that had grown for a long time.
Suddenly, Shen Mu thought of the first episode of "Detective Conan", "Roller Coaster Murder".
In order to ensure his safety, Shen Mu buried his head directly in the thick feathers of the griffin, and the griffin had been domesticated by Haoran Sect for many years, and it was already extremely docile and flew straight to its destination.
Without saying anything all the way, Shen Mu arrived at Baishou Peak.
Baishou Peak rises thousands of feet from the ground, the dangerous peak stands upright, the strange stone is phosphorus, a huge cliff stands upright, another white rock crosses it, straight into the mountainside, the momentum is like a dragon raising its head, the momentum is extraordinary.
This white rock is the origin of the name "Baishou Peak".
Shen Mu waited for the griffin to stop completely, and the Baishou Peak disciple on the side set up a ladder, and Shen Mu followed the ladder to go down from the griffin, and that disciple was also extremely skilled in sending a large piece of animal meat to the griffin's mouth.
The griffin swallowed the piece of meat directly, flapped its wings and flew back happily.
Shen Mu, who had arrived at Baishou Peak, did not stop, looked at the map, and went straight to the teleportation array.
Bai Shoufeng's teleportation circle was extremely large, and the lines of the circle were carved on a huge snow-white stone slab, looking at the traces of wear and tear, it seemed that it had gone through many years.
The person who took care of the teleportation circle was an old man in gray, sitting on a chair beside him, sipping tea one after another.
"Old man, I'll go to the "Demon Mountain". ”
After Shen Mu finished speaking, he was now very proficient in directly showing Su Qing'e's token.
And after the gray-clothed old man saw Su Qing'e's token, he also didn't receive a little spirit stone, waved his hand, and directly let Shen Mu stand on top of the teleportation array.
After Shen Mu stood on the teleportation array, the gray-clothed old man put down his teacup and closed his eyes for a moment.
Immediately after that, with a wave of his hands, an abundant spiritual power gushed out from the old man's body.
At the same time, the seemingly ordinary-looking hollow formations on the teleportation circle suddenly flashed and lit up one by one as if they had been connected to a power supply, as if they had been given life.
The white-gold light of the teleportation array, which was full of spiritual power, formed a pair of net pockets, enveloping Shen Mu in it.
Under the mysterious aura, an ethereal voice sounded in Shen Mu's ears, like the sound of the wind, and like a strange beast roaring, and after a while, Shen Mu's ears rang.
With a loud "boom", the Venus in front of Shen Mu's eyes flickered, and then his vision suddenly darkened, and his body suddenly became weightless, as if floating in space.
What outsiders could see was that Shen Mu's body had also disappeared from the original teleportation array.
The old man in gray has become commonplace, he doesn't look at it, and sits back where he is.
Shen Mu's body was like falling into a red fire ant nest, first numb, and then there was severe pain all over his body, as if there were ten thousand insects on his body at this time, tearing his body, a pain that was more severe than egg pain went straight to the depths of the bone marrow.
At this time, he was shrouded in a strange light, and countless colorful ribbons gently lingered around him.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Mu felt that his body was on a piercing, and his feet had already touched the ground.
It's still a teleportation circle, except that all the lines are carved into a black stone slab.
Shen Mu was now on this stone slab, he staggered, his body finally couldn't bear it anymore, and he fell to the ground.
Venus in front of me also slowly dissipated, and the vision returned to light.
Without bothering to look around, Shen Mu immediately sent a message to Senior Sister Su Qing'e with a wing mirror.
"Senior sister, I've arrived at Zhenmo Mountain, don't read it, remember to eat on time."
“…… Well. Su Qing'e replied, and then described the appearance of the Demon Source Crystal in detail with Shen Mu.
After receiving Su Qing'e's reply, Shen Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
This means that here, the Biyi mirror can still be used, and he can contact Su Qing'e at will.
Shen Mu looked around, and around the black teleportation circle, there were many people wearing armor.
Although many of them are cultivators of the Qi Refining Realm, it seems that they do not belong to the same sect, and some of them bear the traces of cultivation of the Haoran Sect, and the hands that have cultivated the "Taibai Hand" exude a luster and lustre.
Although some armor soldiers are wearing armor, they are holding Buddhist beads in their hands, and their heads wearing helmets can also be clearly seen to be bald.
These should be the practitioners of "Tenryu Temple".
There are also some armor soldiers holding dust whisks in their hands, and they don't have any expression when they see Shen Mu's arrival, and their posture is natural, these cultivators should all be from the "Three Qingguan".
Behind Shen Mu was a small town where he could settle down and rest, and in front of Shen Mu was a dark and deep road, full of fog, and it was almost impossible to distinguish between east and west, north and south.
There seemed to be some broken bones hidden in the distant ground, which made the overall atmosphere a little more terrifying.
Walking through the road ahead, it is the "Valley of the Beastmaster".
