When the Qinchuan River in the Guanzhong area was still in the golden autumn rhyme, the northernmost polar ridge of the Fuxia Dynasty had already fallen snowflakes.

Here, in addition to the endless forest, there is also an endless forest. This mountain range stretches northeast from the pasture plateau with abundant water and grass. In this land of about 50,000 acres, it is inaccessible to people and is the most primitive paradise for countless rare and exotic beasts.

Winter in the north always comes very early, and it is only the beginning of October, and the hunters who have lived here for generations have followed the calendar of their ancestors and began to organize the last large-scale hunting in the mountains of the year to prepare enough winter food for the coming long winter.

From ancient times to the present, human activities have only been found in the outermost area of the Polar Ridge, and they have never entered the depths of the forest. Because after about 500 kilometers from the forest farm, it is no longer ordinary beasts that breed here, but monster beasts.

Demon beasts are born with cultivation methods, and they are able to inherit the bloodline of their mothers intact. By absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, devouring the spiritual roots of heaven and earth, and killing the inner pills that other demon beasts devoured them, they continued to advance themselves, constantly activating the genes hidden in their bloodlines, and finally getting closer to their ancestors.

In the story that has been passed down from generation to generation, in the deepest part of the forest sea, there is a divine dragon that survived the flood era, and it is it that sets the rules for all the demon beasts in the polar ridge not to step out of the outer 500-kilometer boundary, leaving the outer forest farm to humans as a habitat space. Therefore, the world has always been in awe of this legendary dragon god, and every time before organizing a hunting and medicine collection in the mountains, a sacrificial ceremony will be held.

Of course, for thousands of years, there have been people who have ventured deep into the heart of the Polar Ridge, just because there are too many treasures in that untouched place. The elixir of heaven and earth, the immortal corpses of the ancient beasts, the rare veins and ......veins crisscrossed deep underground, as long as they can be found, they are a wealth that cannot be spent in several lifetimes.

It is said that a hundred years ago, a monk at the peak of the spiritual void entered the depths of the Polar Ridge to find a treasure that could help him resist the catastrophe, but since then, there has been no trace of him on the rivers and lakes. Some people say that he fell into the dragon's nest at the core of Lin Hai, and some people say that he was beaten by the dragon god and fell to the realm and protected the forest for the rest of his life......

"Three, it's about to be winter now, and the beasts in the mountains and forests are so hungry that their eyes are green, it's too dangerous, especially if you are still with two female dependents, little brother, don't go into the mountains."

A tribal orion team was loading boxes of food, weapons, and other supplies into the wagon, and this time it would take ten days and half a month to enter the mountains, to say the least. The nearly 100 hunters formed a long line, and at the end of the line, a young hunter euphemistically wanted to refuse the request of the three people in front of him to enter the mountain together.

"This eldest brother, please rest assured, we are in Chang'an City to do fur trading, this is about to enter the winter, those ladies and ladies began to entrust us to come to the field to investigate, if there is a good leather, we will buy it directly, this is our deposit."

Qingya introduced his identity to the hunter, and took out two ingots of gold from his sleeve and placed them in the man's hand.

Twenty taels of gold has already caught up with the results of a small-scale hunt, so naturally he can't be moved, so he naturally agrees to the request of the three Qingya to join the gang.

Several shamans were dancing to worship the dragon god, the language of the sacrifice was in their tribe's own language, Qingya didn't understand a word, and could only deduce from the dragon-shaped mask worn by the great shaman at the front that it should be a ritual to pray to the dragon for harvest.

"Sister Qiu, there are still elders in your family who are mountain gods here, then can you tell him to take us to the Mo family directly." Looking at the sacrificial dance, Hua Qing'er innocently pulled Qiu Chiyu's sleeve and said.

"What do you think, little girl, the dragon clan has been in this world for I don't know how many thousands of years, and there is no concept of the clan for a long time, besides, not all dragons agree with their own kind, and some dragons may fight when they meet." Qiu Chiyu touched Hua Qing'er's head and explained to her.

Didn't his ancestors be forced to set foot on land because they were defeated in the struggle in the first place?

The three of them sat on a cart pulled by a mule, followed at the back of the line, and slowly drove towards the woods.

From time to time, small snowflakes fell in the sky, and the hunters here were mostly young men, led by several older hunters with rich experience in the mountains, among them, Qingya also saw a few girls.

Although it is a girl, Qingya does not despise them at all, I remember that before going down the mountain, Shizun once told himself that on the rivers and lakes, if you meet old people, women and children who act alone, do not provoke them, because they do not have a strong physique, and they must have something outstanding if they can work the rivers and lakes.

Similarly, these girls must have extraordinary strength if they were able to successfully be selected for the hunting team. Maybe one of them is like Akichi Yu, a hidden monk.

"Hello, three guests from afar."

A flattering voice came to the three of Qingya, but it was a young girl wearing a fawn felt hat who greeted them. Her eyes under the brim of her hat were clear and bright, and her pupils had a circle of transparent and clean lilac, like a spirit in the snow, with the power to purify all impetuousness.

"My name is Tana Shushu, which means violet gem in Fuxia language, and I will protect the safety of the three guests on this trip on the orders of the Great Elder."

It is really as her name suggests, Qingya's eyes looking at her are even more dazzling than the jewels on the princess's phoenix crown. But Qingya didn't look at it for long, and before her eyes could make contact with her, Qingya looked away.

Seeing that the three of them were a little hesitant, Tana Shushu thought that the three people in front of him did not believe that they could have the strength to protect them, so he immediately untied the longbow on his back, put the bow with one hand, and pulled the string with the other. She didn't use an arrow, but saw a silver glow on her fingers, and an arrow of light was on the bowstring.

She pulled her bow and arrow until it was close to the full moon, and with a soft shout, a silver dragon-like arrow shot straight behind her, severing a pine tree as thick as two people hugging each other.

"Don't underestimate me, I have the strength to build a foundation, and I will definitely protect you."

She held her chin high proudly, like a proud peacock, full of confidence in herself.

"No, Miss Tana, we don't mean to underestimate you, we just think ......, that your hat is too cute."

"Is that so? This is a privilege that only the bravest hunters of our tribe can receive, and it is very majestic, but it is not lovely. ”

There was no generation gap between the young people, and soon, the frank and straightforward Tanashur became one with the three.

As soon as you step into the forest, the bright sky dims instantly, and the tall larch trees are verdant all year round, and the tall canopy blocks out the light from the sky, and from time to time, handfuls of snow fall from the branches and fall on people's heads.

Fortunately, the newly fallen snowflakes are looser, and when they hit people's bodies, they only stir up patches of dusty snowflakes, and they don't feel pain.

"Blessed by the great dragon god, the weather will not rain and the days will be fine, and your people will offer their most sincere prayers here."

Tana Shushu crossed her hands and silently prayed to the dragon god, this time she used Fuxia official dialect, and Qingya understood.

When it rains, the deep rotting leaves and mud on the road surface will turn into a mud pool that is difficult to walk into, and the snow on the trees will be condensed into solid ice after being contaminated with water droplets.

It seems that the dragon god heard her prayer, and at this time, even the wind in the forest that blows from all directions is much less.

The procession continued to march in an orderly manner, and after a whole year of hunting, there were very few wild beasts in the outermost layer of the forest sea, and only after the long winter had passed, and the beasts would reappear here.

So now, they have to continue to go a little deeper into the forest sea, although the risk will be higher, but the risk factor is directly proportional to the danger factor, that is, the more they will gain.

Everyone knew that many people might stay in the forest forever on this trip, but for the survival and continuation of the tribe, they regarded it as their own glory.

Qingya raised his head and saw the shadows of the overlapping trees, which densely covered the sky, and as the cart advanced, the blank spaces of the sky were constantly revealed.

In the vast forest, where is this Mo family?

According to Qiu Chiyu, in order to avoid the disturbances of the world, the Mo family moved to this endless polar ridge, hiding themselves in the forest and the snow field, isolated from the world, and devoted themselves to studying the mechanical arts, just to recreate the glory of the ancestor back then.

Only when they presented their weapons to the imperial court every year, they would send envoys to Chang'an to report to the Son of Heaven about the various research results of the year, and by the way, apply to the emperor for a research fund.

For a family like the Mo family that does not listen to things outside the window, does not care about the government and politics, and only serves the royal family, the emperor is naturally very fond of it, and the funds allocated are increasing year by year.

This is also what the emperor is most happy to see, the request made by the courtiers. For the emperor, asking for money is the easiest thing to do, and if he wants something else, he has to weigh it.

In the Polar Ridge, the wheels of the board car have left a few long ruts in the dense forest, and what awaits you in this unknown world?
