Leaving these thousands of city walls, there are still deserts and mounds ahead, and mountains as far as the eye can see, this astrolabe is really barren anymore. Xiao Qingqian thought about what the Star Soul General said before, since Master Guangchen's apprentice had already crossed the dividing line, he must be able to find him here.

Following the direction indicated by the astrolabe, after climbing over three small hills, a larger mountain appeared in front of me, and the mountain was still covered with black gas as if it had been blackened, and it was very eerie, and I don't know how many evil forces were hidden inside, which made people daunted.

"What do you think that mountain looks like?" General Guo asked.

"What else can it look like, a black mass." The Evil Eater is not famous.

Xiao Qingqian also stared at the mountain and took a closer look, she felt that it looked like a cow, so she replied, "It's quite like a cow." ”

"That's right, it's still Miss Xiao's eyesight!"

"You haven't seen a cow in hundreds of years, can you still remember what a cow looks like?" The Evil Eater doesn't believe it.

"Why don't you remember, when I was a child, my family was poor, in order to fill my stomach, at the age of five or six, I gave cattle to rich people, and I put them for many years, I know best what this cow looks like, you see that the ridge of this mountain looks like a cow's back, and this raised piece is a cow's head, too vivid."

"Then how did you become a general?" Xiao Qingqian asked curiously.

"It's not that the imperial court stipulates that you should enlist in the army at the age of fourteen, but I have been fighting in the south and the north for 20 years before I became a general."

"Then it's not easy for you."

In the blink of an eye, it seems that climbing such a high mountain is still unavoidable, according to the feeling of walking all the way, Xiao Qingqian feels that this mountain is dangerous, there must be demons at work, and it must be difficult to pass, after thinking about it, she still does not recommend climbing the mountain, but chooses to walk around the mountain, so that although she has to walk more, it is also the safest. Looking at the instructions of the astrolabe, she chose to take the low side of the mountain that resembles a bull's head, the light here is also brighter, and it is not so difficult, anyway, her decision is everyone's decision, the astrolabe is in hand, and it is not up to her to decide how to go.

Walking and walking, there was a roar of a giant beast in the deep mountains, fortunately Yin Zhi did not go up the mountain, otherwise he might be chased by a fierce beast at this moment or have to fight again.

"This one, it's a big guy."

"It's good I didn't go up the mountain."

"It's going to go down the mountain, and you can't hide it."

At this moment, I haven't reached the end of the low side of the mountain, but it happens to be the lowest part of the mountain, which is about the position of the cow's neck, and there is a small mountain peak in front of it, and then I don't know if there is a sticky mountain range, Xiao Qingqian looked up and looked at the top, and then looked at the left and right, and couldn't make up his mind for a while, I don't know if I will encounter danger when I turn over from here, and I am not sure how far I have to go to get around.

What can I do about this, Xiao Qingqian expressed his doubts, General Guo and the blind man don't care, the Evil Eater pinched his fingers and counted it again, but he didn't calculate a result, anyway, the road ahead is dangerous.

"Forget it, rock-paper-scissors, General Guo and the Evil Devourer, you come, two wins in three games, and the Evil Devourer won't go so far, turn over from here, if General Guo wins, then continue to move forward."

"How do you say you're going to get it?"

"That's it," Xiao Qingqian demonstrated, "The fist is the rock, the scissors are like this, and then this is the paper, you randomly come up with one at the same time, the rock wins the scissors, the scissors win the paper, the cloth wins the stone, it's white, right?" ”

"Isn't that easy?"

"Okay, let's go, rock-paper-scissors!"

As soon as Xiao Qingqian's voice fell, General Guo came out with a stone to devour the evil monarch and made a cloth, and the evil devouring monarch won the first game.

"Come again!" General Guo seems to be a little unconvinced.

"Good! Rock-paper-scissors! ”

In the second game, General Guo came out with a scissors to devour the evil monarch and directly came out of a stone, and General Guo lost again, it seems that General Guo is still not as good as the evil devouring monarch in terms of stratagem and petty tricks.

"Hey! Why did you lose again, no, let's do it again! "General Guo is still not convinced.

"Best-of-three games, don't try to cheat."

"Who's cheating?"

"Gotta get it, don't make any noise, according to what I said before, I have to climb the mountain if the evil devouring monarch wins." Xiao Qingqian hurriedly dissuaded him.

"Climb and climb!" General Guo said that he climbed up the stone mountain, and the Evil Devouring Monarch was not far behind, and climbed up bravely from the other side to see who could climb faster.

"Blind man, are you okay?" Xiao Qingqian helped the blind man to the front of the mountain and signaled that he was going to climb the mountain.

"Yes."

Climbing this small ridge, I can't help but gasp, below is a rocky col, and then there are layers of mountains, it seems that the road ahead is difficult, it is impossible to detour without climbing the mountain, Xiao Qingqian took out the astrolabe again, stood on a high place, quite a momentum of pointing out the country, this astrolabe really points to the mountains in the distance, it is really not easy to cross this mountain.

The Evil Devourer also glanced at the astrolabe, and said with emotion: "How can you make a detour or climb the mountain?" ”

"Scared?"

"Who is afraid to pass this way." General Guo also added a sentence on the side.

"Then go forward bravely, dare to ask where the road is, the road is at your feet!" Xiao Qingqian pointed to the distance and said, then turned around: "Blind, let's go!" ”

But it's easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, the bottom is full of rocks, it's not easy to walk at all, you have to use both hands and feet, and the walking speed has slowed down, plus there is a particularly steep place, you have to move a little bit, although the bottom is not an abyss and falls down is also a rhythm of half a life. General Guo carefully explored the way ahead, and the Evil Devouring Monarch followed his footsteps, these deep mountains and wilderness that no one had ever visited, there was no experience in surviving in the wild, and ordinary people did not have the courage to come, of course, Xiao Qingqian was forced, but she vowed to get out of the other world of the astrolabe.

Walking slowly down the path that General Guo and the Evil Devouring Monarch had walked, Xiao Qingqian had to stop halfway to tell the blind man what to do, or help the blind man climb over the big rock, in short, there were many difficulties, and the danger was also among them, but it could also arouse people's fighting spirit more and more. On a cliff boulder, Xiao Qingqian had to stop, looking left and right and couldn't find the next place to stay, in a hurry, she had to crawl on the stone and move down slowly, but she couldn't reach the next small pit to settle down, she couldn't go up and down, plus her physical strength was exhausted, she was stuck there in a hurry and fear, but she still reminded the blind man not to come down first, and in desperation, she had to ask the Evil Devourer for help, "Come and help me, I'm stuck here!" ”

"Step on that with your left foot." The Evil Eater pointed.

"No, I can't reach it, my hands can't find a place to climb, it's too steep." She was prostrate on the cliff, and suddenly she was alone.

"Then don't move." The Evil Devourer had no choice but to climb back and come to Xiao Qingqian's feet, "Let go and jump down, jump here, I'll pick you up here." ”

Xiao Qingqian still didn't dare to look at it, and when he was hesitating, the blind man also moved down, he fumbled and grabbed Xiao Qingqian's hand, and said, "Don't be afraid, I'll pull you, you come step by step." ”

"Okay, then you're on your feet." There is a blind man pulling on the top like there is a fulcrum, Xiao Qingqian can continue to go down without being so afraid, and there is also the Evil Devourer Monarch below, finally going down unharmed, and then it is the turn of the blind man, the blind man is okay, with his feelings and the sound of Xiao Qingqian's action to go down, he jumped down, as long as he faces the difficulties with one heart, everything is not difficult.

After several twists and turns, it finally went down to the bottom of the mountain, but the temperature below was plummeting, making people shiver with cold, and then went straight along the mountain col, everyone was tired, but everyone knew in their hearts that there was a more difficult road ahead, now this is just a small difficulty, the opposite side of the col is still a mountain, and the next mountain to go up is a gentle slope of a large mound, not as steep as the previous mountain, and it is not too difficult to go up, and their perseverance to move forward without hesitation is deeper and deeper in their hearts.

After turning over the three mountains, the sky gradually darkened, all day in the mountains and mountains, really tired enough to choke, at this moment they walked in the mountain stream, heard the sound of water in the distance, only did not see the water flow, now they want to find the water first and then stop to rest, this mountain stream is also full of rocks, between the stones grow some gray-white weeds, as if withered, very barren, there is a feeling of walking on the river beach in winter.

The sound of the water getting louder and louder while walking, "Hey! Come on! The water is flowing here. "General Guo was at the forefront and the first to discover.

The water was left from the mountain in front of it, and it was turbulent and clear, "hahaha...... Joyfully! General Guo drank a few sips and washed his face, Xiao Qingqian and the blind man only walked to the water at this time, and Xiao Qingqian was a little puzzled when he touched the water, "Why is it so barren here when there is water?" "Logically speaking, where there is a water source, the vegetation is usually denser.

"What a barrenness, this is the astrolabe, not elsewhere, it's good to see a grass." The Evil Eater laughed at her that she hadn't seen the world clearly.

"I really miss the colorful world outside, this barren world makes my heart barren." Xiao Qingqian said and squatted by the water to wash his hands, and took a sip when he was done, and instantly a heart-penetrating coldness slid from his throat to his lungs, which was so cold that it was invigorating, even more pleasant than drinking frozen Sprite, but Xiao Qingqian didn't dare to drink like this anymore, she took another sip and took it in her mouth for a while before swallowing it.

"Blind, are you thirsty?"

The blind man nodded, and walked forward slowly, there were also many stones on the edge of the water, although Xiao Qingqian was still squatting at the water's edge, when the blind man came over, she reached out to pick him up from afar, just like a child's mother, who called the blind man handsome but couldn't see it.

After resting for a while by the water, it was already dark to see their fingers clearly, they planned to spend the night here tonight, the temperature became colder and colder with the arrival of the night, and gradually the surrounding stones froze, they hugged together to keep warm, but it was still getting colder and colder, there was nothing to warm nearby, the water was not frozen, it was still rushing.

Xiao Qingqian suggested digging a cave to avoid the cold, but there were many rocks in the surrounding mountains that were difficult to dig, "I feel like I'm going to freeze to death here tonight." Xiao Qing shrank and said.

"It's cold enough, it's not cold at the top of the mountain, let's continue to go up the mountain." The Evil Eater suggested that the road that had been walked all day today was cold at the bottom of the mountain and warm at the top of the mountain, and it was better to continue climbing the mountain if he was frozen to death.

"It seems that this is the only way to go."

Just as they were about to move to the top of the mountain, a loud "bang bang" sound came, and it was moving in their direction, the sound was getting closer and closer, it was coming towards them, the loud roar they heard in the morning should not be from this thing, Xiao Qingqian They had to deal with it nervously, calmly retreated to the side of the mountain to observe secretly, and waited for this monster to appear.
