Giant God Peak: Ancient books record that the gods fought against the last ancient demon here.

From afar, the hills rise abruptly from the dense forest, isolated and abrupt, and the wind-blown peaks can be seen for miles. But it's more like a fist, Qi Rusong thought to himself,

It stands tall from the land and among the trees, and the bare brown slopes are littered with rocks.

Su Yu followed the two and climbed to the top of the mountain. Qi Rusong persuaded her many times, hoping that she would stay in the fortress of Old Ghost Wei.

The girl insisted on joining the two of them, even though she didn't know any swordsmanship and had never practiced. But now that she has a system, she can use the system to release some low-level frost magic to create thin ice armor, which can be regarded as helping them.

The way up the mountain is steep and rugged, with a chest-high wall of rocks surrounding the summit. The trio had to make a big circle to the west before they could find a gap that could be passed.

"It's a nice place here, Stone Snake." After reaching the top, Qi Rusong announced. We couldn't find a better place to do it, so we spent the night here and waited to see the Demon Hunter Gate Horn. ”

The view from the top of the hill is nice, but what really attracts the stone snake is the ring wall: patches of pale lichen crawl on the weathered gray stone, and green moss gently swayes.

"This place looks like it's hundreds of years old, but it's pretty sturdy," Stone Snake said.

"Yes, this high ground is easy to defend when necessary," Qi Rusong pointed out as he patrolled the ring wall, his black hair fluttering in the wind. "This place is getting closer and closer to the sealing place, and it is very likely to encounter the demon clan."

"How to solve the problem of water?" Stone Snake asked.

"At the foot of the mountain, didn't we just wade through a stream?" Qi Rusong said.

"There's a long climb between the two places," the stone snake points out, "and the stream is beyond the stone barrier." ”

Su Yu spoke: "I'll go fetch water." ”

"How can I let you go," Shi Snake volunteered: "Let me go, you little two can just be alone."

"Okay," Qi Rusong said, "I'll set up a tent and find wood to make a fire." ”

So the task was carried out.

Together, the two soon set up tents behind stone walls built by ancient humans, blankets and blankets covering the bare earth.

Then, taking advantage of the setting sun, he picked up his sword and went into the woods to cut wood for the night.

After the wood was prepared, Su Yu also found the ignition object.

"Will there be a demon clan attacking us?" She asked.

Qi Ru looked around. It should be safe inside the wall. The hillside is steep on both sides of the north and west, but slightly soothing in the east.

Still, as the twilight sank and darkness gradually penetrated into the empty forest, the uneasiness in his heart came spontaneously. This is the Ghost Forest, he told himself. Further ahead is the Demon Clan's Sealing Place, and it is not an exaggeration to call it the territory of the Demon Clan.

"Even if there is a demon clan, Lord Marven should clean it up." Qi Rusong said.

"Brother Qi, look at this. Looks like someone has been here..."

"It should be that our Demon Hunters once camped here. Three days ago at most..."

Look at the sunset at dusk. The river meanders to the south, and the shimmer of light on the surface of the river is like gold in forging. "Brother Qi, I always feel that those demon hunting disciples stationed in the Wei Old Ghost Fortress are a little weird..."

"You see the problem, too?" Qi Rusong asked her with a smile.

"Yes, although Old Ghost Wei's strength is strong, I don't think he has the ability to capture people's minds." Su Yu said, "I have also carefully read his system, which is all secret methods to improve demon power and help cultivation."

What he obtained was the [Snow Demon Demonic Power], which was similar to the [Water Spirit] of a human cultivator, and he did have the ability to inject demonic power into the corpse and control the corpse with demonic power. But it does not control the minds of the living. ”

"I've noticed this, but I still don't have a clue." He smiled bitterly, "I'm worried, what Xue Yan said... Most likely, it is true! ”

"Don't worry, Brother Qi. Aren't all the powerhouses of the Southern Demon Hunting Gate here? Su Yu comforted him in turn, "You also said that Lord Marven has sent an urgent letter to your father and the head of the Demon Hunting Sect. It's going to be fine. ”

"I hope so."

The wind blew, and he heard the branches and leaves, much older than him, whispering and sighing. Thousands of leaves dance collectively, and for a moment, the forest seems to turn into a deep green ocean, and the storm flows, and it is difficult to predict that the sun and the moon are the same.

He stood there for a long time, until the sun disappeared over the jagged mountains, and the shadows crept into the forest.

When the stone snake returned, it also brought back an unknown beast.

They lit a bonfire, and in the night, it lit up on the hillside on the other side like a falling star.

Qi Rusong skinned the beast and dirty it, and when the beast was roasted, the moon had quietly climbed into the sky.

The two took advantage of the night to learn a few tricks and went to bed early.

At night, Qi Rusong was suddenly woken up by the sound of a horn, the horn of the Demon Hunting Gate, he thought.

He woke up Shi Snake and Su Yu, "I found someone, Lord Marven is nearby." ”

"Is this what you call the horn of the Demon Hunter Gate?" The stone snake rubbed his eyes and asked him.

Qi Rusong nodded, "According to the tradition of the Demon Hunting Sect, a horn represents the return of the disciples in the sect. I didn't expect them to be so close to us. ”

"Let's go, then." Su Yu said.

"No, wait first..."Qi Rusong said, "One sound of safety, and two horns represent the discovery that the demon clan needs reinforcements." ”

"Is there a third, a fourth?"

"I haven't sounded the third horn for nearly a thousand years, which means that I have encountered an ancient demon!"

"The Great Demon?" The stone snake repeated the word.

"A terrifying demon clan whose strength is above the [Sixth-Order Sword Venerable]." Qi Rusong told him.

As we talked, a second horn sounded. The stone snake took a deep breath, "Don't blow the third time, please..."

When the third horn whispered from the trees, the stone snake's fingers were unusually stiff and clumsy, and trembled with fear and cold.

"Let's go!" Qi Rusong's voice was low, and he didn't know if it was due to the same fear or the severe cold.

"It's late at night!" Stone Snake said.

The bonfire had been extinguished, and nothing could be seen clearly from three meters away. The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the heads of several people were covered with snowflakes.

"The situation is serious, and we must go immediately."

They walked in the dark, and Su Yu lived near the Ghost Shadow Forest, so he was naturally familiar with this land. So she took the two of them to choose a shortcut in the dense forest.

The sound of the trumpet was in the north, and it could be faintly heard for half an hour. Now engulfed in the white forest, and in a moment all I could hear was the sound of crushed trees hitting rocks.

The thick branches of the trees provided him with a canopy that kept them out of the sliding snow.

As he passed a chestnut tree whose branches had been bent by snow and covered with wild white roses, he heard the rustling of the grass.

"Stone snake, be on guard!" He shouted softly.

What came out was a wild wolf, riding a gray pony with a messy mane, and a disciple of the Demon Hunting Sect next to him.

Marven sent disciples on both flanks of the marching column, not only to survey the terrain, but also to warn of the approaching enemy. He didn't dare to be careless, and ordered the demon hunters to work in pairs.

"Ah, Rusong, it's you!" The wolf excitedly stepped forward and hugged his brother, "Where have you been?" I'm worried about you. ”

"It's a long story," Qi Rusong said with a smile, "Crazy wolf, come and see, who is this?" ”

"Stone Snake!" The mad wolf grinned, "You didn't die, and besides, why did you take Old Ghost Wei's wife?" ”

"These two things, again, are long stories." The stone snake smiled knowingly.

"What's going on?" The mad wolf was a little weak-hearted, and Su Yu went to find Qi Rusong with his "help".

"When I explain everything to Lord Marven, I will tell you in detail," Qi Rusong said, "Where is your Excellency now?" ”

"It's less than five miles to the northeast. The wolf told him. "I'll take you there. Marven-sama keeps saying your name. ”

The wolf led them deep into the forest.

Marven chose to camp in an open field backed by a mountain wall, and the camp stretched into the distance. Familiar flags fluttered in the wind, and the flagpoles were deeply embedded in the muddy ground.

When Qi Rusong and the three of them walked into Marven's tent, the deputy door master was sitting by the window, reading the letter. "Rusong!" Seeing Qi Rusong's first glance, he immediately smiled, "It's okay if you're fine." ”

Qi Rusong bowed deeply to him: "My lord, thank you for worrying." ”

"Lord Marven!" The stone snake saluted him with Su Yu.

"You're really not dead!" Marven looked at Shi Snake and Su Yu meaningfully, "You two go out first, I have some important things to discuss with Rusong." ”

"Yes!"

After the two left, Marven flicked the letter with one finger. "It's your father's business." He said aloud, "I won't hide it from you, the letter is full of bad news." I thought that at my age, I would never have the opportunity to encounter such a political dispute. ”

He took a sip of wine. "I tell you, child, what we love will end up ruining it. My nephew loved his young wife to death. The woman who loves vanity, if it weren't for her, she wouldn't have ended up where she is now. ”

Qi Rusong knew the news that Marven's nephew was killed in battle, and Marven chased and killed the demon clan precisely because of this. But what does this have to do with you?

"My lord, I don't understand, what happened to my father?"

"You sit down first." Marven pointed to the bench in front of him.

He had no choice but to do so.

"The prince has been sick and bedridden, and now Lingnan City is ruled by your brother Qi Rubai."

"Impossible!" Qi Rusong immediately said, "Impossible! The last time I saw him, he was so good, how could he fall ill for no reason. ”

"Whether it's true or fake," Marven said, "Your brother has replied to me, and he has sent someone to come [to help]."

"Help?" You're here to harm me, Qi Rusong thought to himself. "Can the letter mention how well my father is doing?"

"I didn't mention it in the letter, and I'm going to write back to find out. The prince [Seventh-Order Sword Emperor] is strong, or he will be able to move freely in a few days. Marven frowned, "It's just, there's something unclear..."

"Why did my father let my brother rule!!

"That's right! It's anomalous. Marven shrugged, "Now let's talk about you, the person you brought back..."
