Volume 5: Chu Ming 462: Shangguan Hong's Journey to the Forbidden Land (3)
Qiu Huayu naturally came to this thousand-needle pine forest, and in his account to Shangguan Hong, there were two most powerful guys in the thousand-needle pine forest, much stronger than his human-faced owl, one was an arrow, and the other was a bird, occupying the north and south of the thousand-needle pine forest respectively, confronting each other, and fighting from time to time.
It is said that there was only one arrow in the thousand-needle pine forest earlier, and this bird flew from nowhere, and then refused to leave, and after fighting with the arrow, I don't know how long no one could help each other, so they reluctantly divided the thousand-needle pine forest into two, each occupying half.
Jianbi is in the north of the thousand-needle pine forest, and Qiu Huayu said to Shangguan Hong that Jianbi's nest is in a low-lying area to the north of the thousand-needle pine forest. The nest of the bird is in the south of the pine forest, there is no particularly steep peak in the pine forest, except for a mountain in the center that is quite conspicuous, that is, there is a tall mountain in the south, where the bird nests. Qiu Huagul also said that the arrows and the birds often fought at the peak in the center of the Thousand Pines.
What must be said here is that Qiu Huagul has not entered the Thousand Needle Pine Forest many times, and he has only gone to the Thousand Needle Pine Forest as if he was looking at the flowers, and has not studied it in detail, his understanding of the Thousand Needle Pine Forest is a little worse than Ah Jiu, who often goes in to find opportunities to get rid of the arrow and the bird, and is even worse than Qian Chao, Qiu Huagul does not know that there is a very rare spiritual spring water at the bottom of the ravine under the peak in the center of the Thousand Needle Pine Forest.
It is precisely because he knows nothing about this thousand-needle pine forest that Shangguan Hong only knows where the two powerful guys are.
According to Shangguan Hong's thoughts, she planned to lead this guy to find the bird after finding Jianyu, so that a fierce battle could break out between these two most powerful demon beasts and demon birds, so as to force Tang Ping and others hidden in the Thousand Needle Pine Forest to appear or attract them to come out to see the excitement, so that she would have the opportunity to continue to seduce these two powerful guys to attack Tang Ping and the others or secretly deal with them herself.
And the reason why she chose the arrow is simply because most of the arrow's means are on the spikes on its back, when facing the enemy, those spikes will shoot out as fast as a loss to make the opponent unguardable, but the speed of its travel is not very fast, as long as he is cautious, Shangguan Hong feels that he is at least self-preservation.
She didn't choose the number of the bird first because it was a demon bird, and the flight speed was fast, and the means of the number of birds were mainly in the sharp chirping of its open mouth, although the means were simple, but the power of listening to the chirp of the horn of the chirp was like a monstrous wave of rolling knives, and even the hills could be directly cut to the ground where it passed.
So after weighing it, Shangguan Hong was ready to start with the arrow.
The moonlight was bright, and the trees in the entire Thousand Needle Pine Forest were glowing with a faint layer of light, which made this vast mountain forest look like a slowly surging wave on the sea, and as Shangguan Hong carefully walked all the way to the north, she finally found the location of Jianyu's lair.
It was indeed a low-lying place as Qiu Huagul said, probably because of the activity of the arrows, there were no trees growing there, which made it look very different from other places, and a deep black area appeared in the forest under the moonlight, which was the nest of the arrows, like a huge black hole, and the moonlight could no longer reflect it.
It's here.
Shangguan Hong stopped, on the way here, she had been carefully avoiding the demon beasts she encountered, and when she got here, she didn't have to worry about any middle-level demon beasts that could pose a threat to her, near Jian's lair, no middle-level demon beast dared to build a nest, and she didn't even have the guts to come over, and all the danger in Shangguan Hong here came from the arrow that was like a black hole hidden.
So at this time, Shangguan Hong was extremely careful.
As for Shangguan Hong's means to lure out the arrows lurking inside, she naturally has it, and it can't be said that it is her means, but the treasure that Qiu Huagul gave her.
It was a half-foot-long incense stick the thickness of a little finger.
The production of this incense is only inherited among the Imperial Spiritual Monks, and it is generally only in the hands of some Imperial Spiritual Sect elders, and the materials for the production of this incense are also very valuable, as far as the one that Shang Guanhong is holding in his hand is concerned, the most valuable material in it is the fine powder ground by the demon pill of the high-level demon beast.
Ah Jiu, who has been a fairy, often runs out to find blood food, in fact, it is to kill some demon beasts and then swallow their demon pills, now although she covets the demon beast demon pill of the level of the arrow and the bird in the forbidden land, but when she can't get it, she doesn't mind picking a few middle-level demon beasts to start, the intermediary demon pill is still attractive to spirit birds like Ah Jiu, so there is no need to raise the demon pill of the demon beast.
In addition, it is a bone powder ground from the bones in the body of one or several demon beasts, plus wood powder ground from the core of a certain spirit wood, and then mixed with the medicinal powder obtained by grinding after roasting several other rare spirit grasses, and finally the gum scraped from the trunk of a certain spirit wood, mixing these things together to make incense sticks, of course, it is simple to say, but it is actually troublesome to make.
These incense sticks have different names depending on the materials they are made of, but they have a general name called saliva incense, and when lit, the effect is as the name suggests, and it has a great allure for monsters.
The reason why Qiu Huagul wants to prepare this thing is still that he used to use it from time to time in the process of looking for the white fox, every time he goes to a place where there are high-level demon foxes, light up this incense, fan it against the demon fox's nest, and let the smell of this incense burn waft past, and after a while, the big and small fox demons in the nest will be lured out by the breath of this incense, and then Qiu Huagul can hide in the dark to observe whether there is any kind of demon fox he is looking for. Even if he had enough time, he would venture into the demon fox's lair to inspect the demon fox cubs inside.
In addition to attracting monsters, this kind of incense stick also has the biggest feature, that is, the smoke after it is lit is almost not affected by any wind, if the monk who ignites it does nothing, the smoke of this incense will only go straight up, only the monk with a special means to fan the smoke on it can change the direction of the smoke, and the rest of the incense will not be affected in the slightest even if the incense is in the roaring hurricane.
Shangguan Hong held a half-foot-long incense stick in his left hand, and gently pinched the tip of the second index finger of his right hand on the head of the incense, and when he released it again, a red dot appeared under the moonlight.
At this moment, a birdsong came from a distance from the south of the Thousand Needle Pine Forest, this sound should be very loud, although it was much smaller here, but listening to Shangguan Hong's ears made her ears tingle slightly, so that she couldn't help but look back, but in the north of the Thousand Needle Pine Forest here she couldn't find what was happening in the south at all, although curious, but now she could only focus on her own things, she turned her head, because it was the first time to use this precious incense stick, but also because she was targeting a powerful demon beast this time, Therefore, she was nervous in her heart, only feeling that her chest was pounding non-stop, and she was forcibly suppressing the anxiety in her heart, Shangguan Hong's right hand quickly pinched into a few tricks, and after her right palm appeared a faint light, and immediately the five fingers of her right hand were put together as a fan, and the black and heavy place below the front was like a big hole, and the smoke of the incense stick was fanned.
The incense stick was lit by Shangguan Hong, but she couldn't smell any breath, but she absolutely believed Qiu Huayu's description of this incense stick, and believed that it would definitely be able to lure out the arrows in the nest below, and then take it all the way to the nest of the South Snapbird, she planned to change the direction of the incense smoke again after getting close to the nest of the Snapbird, so that the two guys who were rivals would meet each other, and the war would be about to break out. Next, it was time for her to pay careful attention to the traces of Tang Ping's people around.
Sure enough, as she expected, there was movement soon.
Shangguan Hong was still some distance away from the black hole-like place, and she didn't dare to get too close anyway, but the breath of the saliva incense spread very quickly, and after she fanned the wind with the palm of her hand towards it, it didn't take long for there to be movement in the dark depression.
Because her body was suspended in the air, Shangguan Hong couldn't feel the tremor on the ground, but she was very clear about the fluctuations caused by the tremor, and soon the nearby pine forest made a "rustle" sound like a tide, and then it became the "whoosh" sound of the tide rolling, the tremor on the ground became more and more intense, and in the silent moonlit night, this sound was like some powerful monster about to rush out and cause trouble in the world, and suddenly Shangguan Hong's heart became even more nervous.
Suddenly, two dark yellow points of light lit up in that dark and dark area like a black hole, the distance was far away, and it didn't look big, but Shangguan Hong understood that if it was in front of her, the point of light would at least be like a large wine jar, and she clearly knew that it was the eyes of the arrow!
Can't stay for a long time, to seduce this guy to the south, Shangguan Hong clearly thought in his mind, although this arrow is slow, its spikes are extremely fast, thinking of this, she pinched the saliva incense and launched her body to go south.
Shangguan Hong's behavior was really a risky move, and she knew this, so she was absolutely nervous, thinking that she would stay away from the arrow, so as not to be detected by it and then be injured by the spikes on her body, but she didn't dare to go too far from it, lest the arrow would return to its lair again after the breath of saliva was interrupted, so Shangguan Hong turned sideways to the south, frequently looking north and south, discerning the direction and not wanting to let the arrow be lost.
An embarrassing thing happened, she thought that the arrow would definitely follow, but the actual situation was that she flew south by herself, although she could still see the two dark yellow eyes of the arrow in the dark depression, but at this time it seemed that the eye was far away from her, that is to say, the arrow did not follow, but after the distance from the arrow was farther away, although the breath of the saliva incense was still drifting in the direction of the arrow, but because of the distance, the breath of the saliva incense gradually spread in the process of drifting, In the dark night, the dark red or cold white eyes looked at Shangguan Hong in the air one after another, and there were also pairs of dark red eyes wandering in the air, accompanied by the sound of wings drumming and airflow, which completely woke up Shangguan Hong, only to find that Jian Yu did not follow!
Shangguan Hong found that her situation was absolutely dangerous at this time, it was precisely because of her previous nervousness that the speed of walking south was a little faster, so now she was some distance away from Jianyu's lair, although there were not many other demon beasts and monsters nearby at this time, but each one was fatal to her, after noticing the eyes of those staring at her in the pine forest, cold sweat soaked the back of her skirt almost instantly, and after realizing the danger, she almost instantly wrapped the black fur cloak tightly around her body, Launching the body and heading towards the Arrow's lair, at this moment, it is only safe near the Arrow's lair.
At this time, from the south of the thousand-needle pine forest, there was a sharp birdsong in the distance, this chirping helped Shangguan Hong, in the shadow of the moonlight, the demon beasts and monsters that were surrounding Shangguan Hong were shocked by this birdsong, and they all looked in the direction of the sound, although they couldn't see it, but those demon beasts all seemed to have a great fear of this birdsong, so Shangguan Hong's escape was not dangerous.
The frightened Shangguan Hong returned to the vicinity of the black hole-like depression in the pine forest, she was panting, her chest was pounding, and she was still wondering in her heart, could it be that the saliva incense given by the master was useless to the arrow?
