Volume 1 Sword of the Son of Heaven Chapter 26 Journey to the Foggy Mountains
The Foggy Mountains were originally a nameless barren mountain on the outskirts of the Imperial City.
Two or three months ago, it began to be shrouded in fog, creating an inaccessible area.
From the beginning of the fog, the surrounding beasts and even monsters were gradually attracted and gathered near the foggy mountains, sometimes killing and injuring people.
In the beginning, there were no natural treasures in the Foggy Mountains, but there were some herbs.
After all, it is on the outskirts of the Imperial City, not far from the Sword Palace, if there is really something good, it has already been discovered.
But for some reason, after the fog was filled, some people found precious spiritual materials in the foggy mountains one after another, so more and more cultivators went into the mountains to search for treasures.
An hour later, the carriage arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Since it is a barren mountain, there is no fixed mountain road.
A group of six people abandoned the car and walked, chose a direction where the fog was not so heavy, and began to climb the mountain.
After entering the mountain, the fog became heavier and heavier, and finally only the surrounding area could be seen, and the distance was blurred.
Wu Dachuan walked in the front, leading the puppy Wangcai.
"Fortunately, there are no cliffs here, otherwise I don't know how many people would have fallen to their deaths, and I have actually been to this mountain a few times before, so I am quite familiar with it...... Ah!! ”
With a scream, Wu Dachuan lost his trace, leaving only the puppy Wangcai sticking out his tongue stupidly.
"What about people!"
"Gone! It may have been swallowed by a monster! Watch out! ”
The two male disciples in the same group were shocked, holding their swords in their hands to guard their surroundings.
The female disciple was also frightened, and her face became visibly pale.
Luo Xiaoyu waved his hand to fan the dense fog, wanting to find the whereabouts of his companions, and his courage was indeed not small.
Yun Que walked steadily to the puppy, didn't even take the sword, squatted down, and shouted in the direction where Wu Dachuan disappeared:
"How deep? Did you fall to your death? ”
Soon Wu Dachuan's annoyed voice came from below the oblique:
"Can't die! Bad luck, this climbs up! ”
After a while, Wu Dachuan, who had a muddy face, appeared in front of everyone, he snorted, and said:
"What a deep col! I remember that there aren't many potholes near the Foggy Mountains, but has the terrain changed? ”
Wu Dachuan scratched his head and felt that the place he was in was not a barren mountain he was familiar with, but a strange place.
Yun Que had already seen that Wu Dachuan had slipped and fallen, so he was not worried.
After hearing this, he asked thoughtfully:
"Are you sure there weren't cols here before?"
"There should be a col, but it doesn't seem to be that deep."
Wu Dachuan couldn't get it for sure, and said uncertainly: "Maybe I'm wrong, it happened a few years ago, and I came here purely for distraction at that time, and I didn't care too much about the terrain." ”
Since there was no danger, everyone continued to climb the mountain.
Yun Que's heart was filled with doubts.
This foggy mountain is a bit strange.
The sudden extra treasures of heaven and earth, coupled with the vaguely changed terrain, all show that there is an unknown weirdness here, and it is by no means a good place.
After another walk, the terrain became noticeably steeper.
The fog around is also thicker.
"This is the real base of the mountain, and what I just walked was only the outer area of the Foggy Mountains."
Wu Dachuan reminded everyone to be vigilant, the real danger is only beginning now.
Barking!
Not long after he walked out, the little dog Wangcai suddenly ran to the left, leading everyone to a bluestone more than one person high, sniffing around the stone.
Wu Dachuan looked overjoyed and hurriedly rummaged through.
"There's something!"
Wu Dachuan took a lot of effort, and finally pulled out a round thing from behind the bluestone.
When he got rid of the dead leaves and mud, he suddenly screamed and threw them out.
bones,
The round thing fell at the feet of several people, and it turned out to be a human head with a hideous expression!
The deceased was a middle-aged man, judging from the bun, he should not be a disciple of the Sword Palace, not long after he died, and his head had not yet rotted.
Wu Dachuan shouted unlucky, pointed at the puppy and scolded.
I thought it was some kind of baby, but it turned out to be a head.
The others were not interested in the head, they all felt unlucky, and planned to leave as soon as possible.
Yun Que came to the front of the head, observed it carefully for a while, and picked it up and fiddled with it a few times.
Turning his head towards everyone, Yun Que said, "Senior Brother Wu, take a look, what is the cause of death of this person." ”
Facing the dead man with a hideous and terrifying expression, there was only one head left, Wu Dachuan was sick to his stomach, he looked at it with a sad face, and suddenly sighed.
"What a strange wound, not caused by the sword, it seems to be ......"
Wu Dachuan looked at the uneven bones around the head and neck, and couldn't tell what was strange for a while.
This kind of death with only a human head left is usually beheaded by a knife or a sword, but the human head in front of him is obviously not.
"Strangled to death."
Yun Que said as he pulled out a section of emerald green vine from the forehead of the human head and wrapped it around the bones of the human head and neck a few times.
Only then did Wu Dachuan see clearly that there was a transparent hole in the forehead of the human head, as if it had been pierced by a sword, but the hole was obviously not the shape of a sword.
"You mean, he was strangled by vines?"
Wu Dachuan subconsciously swallowed and foamed, this kind of strange situation had never been encountered in his life.
"It may also be strangled to death and used as a pendant."
Throwing the head aside, the doubts in Yun Que's heart became a little heavier.
Changed mountains, hideous human heads, eerie fog.
This foggy mountain is full of treachery.
Roar!!
Just as everyone was about to continue climbing, suddenly the sound of a tiger roaring was heard nearby.
With a rustling sound, a blinded tiger covered in fine scales stepped out of the thick fog and appeared on the left side of everyone.
Woohoo!
Another shrill wolf howl.
A huge gray wolf with two long tails and fangs like knives, more than a man tall, came out from the right side of several people.
Not only are the two beasts much larger than the beasts, but they also have very different forms, with the scales of the tiger and the tail of the giant wolf both indicating the same identity.
Monsters!
Wu Dachuan was quite experienced, and as soon as he activated the Overflowing Spirit Ring, the long sword in his hand immediately burst out with substantial sword energy.
The remaining two male disciples and the female disciple were also not slow, and they all clenched their long swords, ready to strike at any time.
However, when they saw the two demon beasts that were coming in the bag, the four of them exclaimed in surprise almost at the same time.
"Scaly Tiger!"
"Twin-tailed demon wolf!"
"The two most difficult to deal with among the first-level demon beasts!"
"Bad luck! Don't want to gain anything today, you can burn high incense if you can get out of it. ”
Wu Dachuan's round face turned into a winter melon, and his legs and stomach began to tremble.
The name of the Scaly Tiger and the Two-Tailed Demon Wolf, known to all the disciples of the Sword Palace, is the most fierce first-level demon beast in the Yan Kingdom, and the single one is enough to compete with the monks in the middle stage of Qi refining.
When Wu Dachuan joined forces with the other three disciples, he could barely block one of them, and it was impossible to kill him.
Now that he has come two times at once, how can he not be surprised.
Yun Que had already grabbed the Thunder Sealing Sword and stared at the twin-tailed demon wolf.
He planned to deal with the demon wolf first, and let Wu Dachuan and a few people drag the scaly tiger.
As long as you kill one head first, the situation becomes much easier.
Sou!
Sou!
When the two sides were about to fight, two sword lights swept over the heads of several people, vaguely the outfits of the disciples of the Sword Palace.
Wu Dachuan was pleasantly surprised and hurriedly shouted for help.
"Senior brother, help! Two brothers, help! ”
The two people who stepped on the flying sword heard the sound fall on the bluestone, condescending, looking noble and extraordinary.
It is two male disciples of the Sword Palace.
One has long hair and a rough and indifferent temperament, while the other has narrow eyes and is very young.
The long-haired Yun Que didn't recognize it, but it was another guy with narrow eyes, and he was impressed.
This person is the fifth sword of the Eastern Courtyard who said 'the sword is on the street, and the prince retreats' on the long street of the imperial city, Xuan Wenyan.
"The first sword in the East Courtyard! We are saved! Wu Dachuan recognized at a glance that the long-haired young man was the famous No. 1 sword of the Eastern Courtyard, and several others breathed a sigh of relief one after another.
With a sword shot, it was easy to kill two first-level demon beasts.
Xuan Wenyan saw Yun Que at this time, a sinister smile appeared on his face, and he said in a strange tone:
"Senior brother, you go first, I'll help them well."
The word "help" was bitten hard by him.
