Volume 1 Demon Country Languo Chapter 20: Wailing Mountain
Liu Zisang opened his eyes in a daze, and what caught his eyes was a blue bird with a heart-shaped white feather on its chest, and the blue bird kept flapping its wings and pecking itself from time to time.
"It turned out to be Xiao Cui...... You've run away from home and come back. Liu Zisang rubbed his sleepy eyes slightly, and saw that it was Xiaocui, who had not been seen for many days, and said with relief. He closed his eyes, rolled over, and went back to sleep.
Seeing this, Xiaocui was anxious, kept flapping her wings, and said anxiously: "Oh, don't sleep Liu Zisang, go and see Duoduo!" Lots of him, he's in trouble! ”
"What did you say?" Liu Zisang woke up suddenly when he heard this, sat up from the bed, and swept away the thick sleepiness, "Where is it?" ”
"Wailing Mountain!"
"Damn." Liu Zisang's heart skipped a beat, "How did you go to Wailing Mountain, no one dared to enter that ghost place for decades!" ”
Wailing Mountain, a famous murderous place near Landbridge Town, is rumored to be full of fierce and bloodthirsty beasts, which are extremely aggressive.
Fierce beasts are no more than ordinary monsters in the wild, although ordinary monsters are also very dangerous, but most of the attacks are foraging for food, or warning behavior to people who mistakenly trespass on their territory, if the other party will endanger their own lives, most of them will retreat. To put it simply, it will run away, and it will not have to fight to the death.
When encountering people who are too high in cultivation, they also know that they are hard stubble, and they will not be provoked easily.
But the beast is very different, not only is it not afraid of death, but when it has a companion, it will call out to its companion and attack it in groups! The beast won't be stupid enough to fight you alone.
If a person encounters a fierce beast, most of the time it is one-to-many, and aside from cultivation, he will basically be at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, and fall into an endless siege, and many people lose their lives in this way. Even if the cultivation is slightly stronger than that of the fierce beast, the advantage will be greatly weakened by the number, and it is easy to be exhausted by the wheel to the demon power and die.
And the Wailing Mountain is almost full of fierce beasts, and the high level of danger is not a star, and for hundreds of years, people who have been in have basically never come out again.
For Wailing Mountain, not to mention the high-level powerhouses in the Desolate Spirit Realm, even the powerhouses of the Hun Spirit Realm did not dare to set foot easily.
If Duoduo is really in the Wailing Mountain, with his humble cultivation, he is only afraid that he will be more auspicious.
Liu Zisang didn't dare to delay, quickly picked up the hunting bow and bone knife on the wall, put the quiver on his back, and put on the shoulder and wrist guards that he usually didn't wear.
Hopefully, Duoduo is only on the periphery of Wailing Mountain, not too deep, and it is still too late to rush over.
Otherwise, it is a desperate life to deliver food.
After everything was ready, he said to Xiao Cui: "Xiao Cui, you lead the way in front." ”
Xiao Cui nodded, and did not delay, and rushed down the giant tree with a dive.
Liu Zisang grabbed the guardrail and jumped up, stepped on the handrail with his feet and slid down like a slide, and landed steadily on the ground after a few breaths, his heartbeat accelerated slightly, and his palms were sweaty.
Liu Zisang was a little nervous, after all, he was only a teenager, and it was the first time he went to a famous and murderous place like Wailing Mountain, and it was inevitable that he was a little scared and afraid.
Taking a deep breath, Liu Zisang calmed down, and let Xiaocui lead the way in the air, while he sprinted all the way to follow, bringing up a trail of flying dust on the road.
The two walked through several valleys and woods, and after a stick of incense, dozens of green daisy mountains gradually came into view, and the mountains were surrounded by thick mountain fog, making it difficult for the naked eye to see the situation in the mountains, and there were constantly bursts of terrifying wails mixed with various beast moans coming out of them, which made people shudder. This is the Wailing Mountain.
No one knows where the wailing sound of the Wailing Mountain came from, but there are many speculations and rumors.
One of the most widely circulated sayings is that there is a strange monster beast called the three mourning birds inhabiting in the mountains, each time it chirps three times in a row, and the sound is terrible like three mourning birds, so it is called the three mourning birds, and it is rumored that this bird is still the descendant of the primeval mythical beast Yang Sui, which is unknown.
The largest and most mysterious mountain in front of him is the main mountain of the Wailing Mountain, which is several times larger than the other mountains, and looks quite majestic, so that all the visitors deeply sigh at their own insignificance, and people stand in front of it, like an insect ant standing in front of a huge carriage, and even the strong wind brought by the wheels can blow away.
When I got here, I couldn't see any traces of people at all, and even the demon beasts could hardly see it, only some demon beasts with slightly higher cultivation dared to wander slightly in the distance, but they only wandered, and they didn't dare to approach at all.
It can be said that Wailing Mountain has become a forbidden place in the hearts of the people and demon beasts of Lanqiao Town!
Liu Zisang has only passed by twice in the vicinity after staying in Lanqiao Town for so long, or because he got lost and accidentally bumped into it, if it wasn't for the rescue of Duoduo, he wouldn't have run here if he killed Liu Zisang, and no one thought that his life was long.
Liu Zisang and Xiao Cui did not stop, but continued to hurry, and after another tea time, the Wailing Mountain was so big that it was completely filled in the field of vision, and everywhere in sight was green mountains, an inexplicable sense of oppression became stronger and stronger, and Liu Zisang knew that he was almost there.
Soon, a huge stone monument with a height of five or six zhang appeared on the flat ground.
The stele was mottled and covered with dead moss and rattans, apparently over the years. Some of the dried vines have drawn a lot of green leaves and flowers, covering the original dead vines, full of vitality.
Despite the ups and downs, the big bone inscriptions of "Wailing Mountain" on it are still clearly legible, and I don't know who wrote it.
Liu Zisang gasped slightly and stopped in front of the stone tablet, this way was in a hurry, his physical strength and demon power were not small, he wanted to replenish his physical strength as soon as possible.
He took out a small cloth bag from his bosom, in which were a few pieces of cooking cakes and jerky, picked one up and took a few bites.
This is the dry food he often prepares at home, and he will take it with him when hunting, and the taste is average, but it is better than hunger, even if he often does heavy physical work, he can basically eat a piece of seven points full.
While chewing the cooking cake, he fell into deep thought slightly, and Liu Zisang had a feeling that this time things might not be so simple.
Duoduo has been walking in the Great Wilderness for a long time, and his experience in the mountains and forests is even richer than his, and he has drilled more forests than he has eaten, so it is impossible not to know that Wailing Mountain is a fierce place, and it is really strange to run to Wailing Mountain stupidly.
On the way, he already knew that Xiao Cui was passing through the area of Wailing Mountain and overheard Duoduo's voice.
Xiao Cui's ear is very good, and she has been with Liu Zi Sang Duoduo for a long time, and after listening to it several times, she concluded that Duoduo was in Wailing Mountain, so she didn't care that she was still angry, and hurried back to move the rescuers.
After a while, Liu Zisang, who had regained some strength, stood up and said slowly to Xiao Cui: "Xiao Cui, don't go in, wait here for me to come back." ”
"But......" Xiaocui wanted to speak and stopped, but she didn't know what to say.
Wailing Mountain is famous for its fierce reputation, and it is also a forbidden place for birds, and a non-aggressive bird like Xiaocui has low strength, so it is difficult to protect his life if he really wants to enter Wailing Mountain.
"Don't worry, I will definitely come back, and when Duoduo and I come back, I will bake ten or eight fragrant big fat green worm skewers for you, so that you can eat until you can eat it!" Liu Zisang patted his chest and smiled, full of confidence.
"Is that true?"
Xiao Cui flapped her wings happily, and a trace of crystal saliva flowed from her small pointed beak, obviously what Liu Zisang said was extremely tempting to Xiao Cui.
Although he was still running away from home not long ago, he was angry that Liu Zisang was a hooligan, and Duoduo jumped up and down every day to disturb the bird's dream.
However, the craftsmanship of Liu Zisang's roasted insects is first-class, with salt and seasonings, it is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, crispy and delicious, and after eating it once, Xiaocui can't stop it.
For the sake of the big green worm, I reluctantly forgave the two of them, Xiao Cui thought to herself, and the only trace of unhappiness in her heart disappeared.
"It's more real than pearls!" Liu Zisang said with a package ticket.
What's so difficult about roasting insects, as long as he wants to, even if he catches a basket of insects, it is more than enough, but I'm afraid that if Xiaocui really sees a basket of big green worms, she will probably faint happily!
"This worm can eat for a month!"
Xiao Cui can catch bugs without getting up early for a whole month, and she doesn't have to worry about bugs being caught by other birds when she sleeps lazy!
Immersed in the sweet dream of the big fat green worm, Xiao Cui flew to the stone tablet and said happily: "Then I'll wait for you here, you have to come back quickly!" ”
"Wait for my good news!" Liu Zisang waved his hand to leave a back, and strode towards Wailing Mountain under Xiao Cui's eyes.
The closer he got to Wailing Mountain, the stronger an unknown fear became, which made Liu Zisang's heart a little heavy, and he subconsciously put his hand on the bone knife to slightly alleviate this fear.
Entering the dense forest, passing through the knee-high clumps of weeds, Liu Zisang knew that he had truly entered the Wailing Mountain, and his vigilance increased.
The ancient trees that shaded the sky were covered with green vines the size of forearms, and the sky was barely visible, and the gravel was covered with thick moss, and the craters on the sides were full of rotting branches and leaves, making the air smell of rancidity.
Occasionally, you can still see one or two abandoned stone spears, the shafts of which have completely rotted, leaving only a lone spearhead, and a few skeletons on the side, which must have been unlucky people who broke in many years ago.
The demonic power slowly flowed in the body, and seeing that there was nothing unusual, Liu Zisang groaned slightly and walked in the direction that Xiao Cui said and heard Duoduo's voice.
After walking about a stick of incense, Liu Zisang finally found something abnormal, along the way, there was not a single demon beast in the Wailing Mountain, where there were many fierce demon beasts, and not even a bird Liu Zisang was seen.
Even in the ordinary forest, there are birds and animals, and there are all kinds of small insects at the worst, even in the vast Gobi, as long as you are willing to be patient to find, you can always see a salamander or a sand-eating spider.
But Liu Zisang didn't even see the demon beast hair.
And then there's ...... It was so quiet, surprisingly quiet, if it weren't for the sound of branches breaking when he stepped on the dead branches and leaves, Liu Zisang would almost wonder if he had come to the wrong place.
The road in the mountains was extremely difficult, and the branches of the ancient rattan trees were densely packed through the forest, blocking the way, and Liu Zisang had to cut it with a bone knife to clear a way, so that the speed of the journey was extremely slow.
Liu Zisang walked for a long time to get to the approximate location of the source of the Duoduo sound that Xiao Cui said, and it was also thanks to Xiao Cui's hearing that he was born longer than other demon beasts, and it was not difficult to hear and distinguish the position, so that he would not run around like a headless fly.
This is a relatively open rocky beach, full of pebbles and other stones, which is quite strange. It's hard to imagine that there would be such a rocky beach in a place as close to primeval forest as Wailing Mountain.
What's even more peculiar is that there is a giant monster as big as a hill sleeping on this rocky beach, and if you stand up, you may be as tall as three or four adults!
Liu Zisang and this giant demon beast had the same leg as each other, and in front of it was like a younger brother.
