Chapter 57: The Blue-Eyed Beast
Standing on the edge of Black Python Mountain, you can see a forest full of verdant bamboo, and the bamboo forest is occasionally dotted with towering ancient pines and cypresses. A gust of wind blows, the bamboo forest rises and falls with the wind, and the ancient pines and cypresses float like supernatural beasts in the colorful ocean kingdom.
The fine bamboos in the bamboo forest have countless green colors, including deep, light, light, and dark, as if they bear witness to the history of this forest. There are also a variety of wild grape trees, ginseng, honeysuckle, red nan, and some ancient bayberry trees that are thousands of years old.
It is said that green bamboo snakes grow in this bamboo forest. Don't look at their slender bodies as thin bamboo, but they are three-grade demon beasts. Their snake venom is extremely venomous, and as long as a monster beast with a body as strong as a cow is bitten by it, it will kill in a few moments.
On the other side, there is a primeval forest. There are few bushes in the forest, and it is full of towering thousand-year-old trees. The branches of the trees are intertwined, and the flourishing branches and leaves stretched out like large green umbrellas cover the blue sky tightly. The forest was devoid of sunlight and looked eerie and mysterious. Few people dared to go into this forest, and even if they went in, they never came out.
It is said that the reason why this forest is isolated from the outside world is that it is full of swamps. The swamp was littered with corpses, and camphor trees grew in every place where the corpses were concentrated. The huge camphor trees stood proudly, their bark dark green, like the color of the corpse water that flowed out of the decaying corpse. Its thick, strangely shaped branches coiled around the tree like a dragon. The breeze blows, and the branches and leaves make a "whirring" sound, just like the choking and sighing of a dragon.
In another tranquil primeval forest, there are towering trees that grow for tens of thousands of years. This forest is a paradise for centipedes. Dark green centipedes, which are as majestic as hills, are crawling slowly in groups.
Wherever they passed, the trees were staggered and broken, and the flowers and plants instantly rotted and withered. Thousands of gigantic gastropods staggered across the ground, and cracks in the ground spread across and crumbled like cracks in the ice.
…… These are the scenes that Yi Hao saw after he went deep into the middle of the Black Python Mountain.
The rumor of "Black Python Mountain, Immortal Difficult to Cross" is really well deserved. Yi Hao frowned and looked at this piece of heaven and earth, the ancient trees in the deep mountains and old forests were towering, covering the sky and the sun, like a giant beast opening its big mouth, just waiting for him to enter.
"Wine, wealth, and mundane things, it is better to cross others than to cross oneself first. Everyone in the world wants to find immortality, and there is a fairy gate outside the Black Python Mountain. "For the sake of those promises in my heart, and that ethereal immortality, Black Python Mountain must be passed!
Yi Hao turned around and ran in the other direction of Black Python Mountain. If you cross the Black Python Mountain, you will definitely pass through the forests just now, even the deepest part. With the strength of his refining Yuan Realm, it was tantamount to asking for his own death. If you walk around the outer circle of Black Python Mountain and try to walk at night as much as possible, there may be a chance.
"Is there no road? I'll get out of the way myself! Yi Hao resolutely decided.
He came to a stream, where small fish about an inch long swam freely in the clear water. There are countless flowers blooming on both sides of the stream, red, pink, yellow, and purple, fragrant and refreshing.
Yi Hao followed the stream and went up the river to a small waterfall, where the originally gentle water became turbulent. The stream rushed down from a height of ten feet, crashing against the rocks with a loud roar. He climbed the rocks to the small waterfall, and then looked around, and the green forest stretched infinitely in the field of vision.
In the foreground, a large flock of owls was frightened for unknown reasons, and they flew high one after another; A few miles to the right, a demon beast went berserk for no reason, and giant trees collapsed one by one; Directly in front of the distant horizon, the forest was filled with smoke and dust, and the figures of several huge demon beasts fighting loomed, and the vibration of their trampling on the ground came from afar, and bursts of earth-shattering roars soared into the sky, shaking away the leisurely floating white clouds in the sky.
Yi Hao returned to the creek and caught some fish from the water. He controlled the Yuan Fire to roast the fish dry and put it in the treasure bag. Then, he strode towards the place where the beasts battled in front of him.
"The more dangerous the place, the safer it is." Where the giant beasts fight, other demon beasts will definitely not dare to approach, and this place will be relatively safe.
Yi Hao found a giant tree not far from the place where the giant beast was fighting, jumped on its branches to hide his body, and closed his eyes to recuperate.
In the evening, Yi Hao took out the animal skin map he had drawn, got up and walked forward after identifying the direction. Black Python Mountain at night, very quiet. The crescent moon was obscured by the incoming black clouds, revealing only a faint halo of darkness from behind the thick clouds.
The wind shook the trees high overhead, making a slow rustling sound, as if the desert-like sea of trees was moving overhead to set off the quiet night. Something like frost was clearly felt in the wind, suspended in the air, causing a small goosebump when it touched the skin.
Yi Hao didn't dare to relax, his divine consciousness spread out hundreds of feet around his body, and he lifted his qi and swept forward.
He walked day and night, and so slowly he went. Everywhere he passed, he would draw the topography of the place on the hides and mark the situation in the forest.
……
On a high slope in the forest, Yihao leaned against a giant tree, his face full of exhaustion.
Looking at the small piece of dry food in his hand, he frowned. He hadn't eaten for three days, and all he had left in his treasure bag was the shirt he had reserved for when he walked out of Black Python Mountain. The rest of the food has long been depleted, and there is no drip left in the water bladder.
Yi Hao looked at a dry piece as big as a fist in his hand, and his expression was hesitant. In the end, as if he had made up his mind, he pulled off a small piece of the ball, put it in his dried mouth, chewed it twice, and swallowed it with difficulty.
He took out the map and silently flipped through the markings.
"Sixty days!" Yi Hao whispered.
He had been walking in the forest for two months, but he didn't know how far he had to go. Looking at the green mountains in front of him, he now deeply realized the size of the Black Python Mountain.
In the past two months, although he has been walking day and night, he has encountered demon beasts many times on the way. Most of the demon beasts, because his divine sense detected their traces in advance, were hidden by him or avoided by taking a detour.
But he has also encountered some demon beasts with a keen sense of taste, or encountered some powerful demon beasts, and was discovered by the demon beasts in advance before Yi Hao's divine sense discovered them. In order to save his physical strength and time to get out of the Black Python Mountain as soon as possible, Yi Hao did not fight with them but quickly dodged and escaped, but the escape process was very miserable.
Now his clothes are in thin pieces, and they are draped on his strong body. The whole body exuded a strong smell of rotten demon corpse grass, and the exposed skin was tanned, and it was full of bruises and scars.
