Chapter 24: The Safe Period of Plum Blossom Pass

Located at the junction of the Lantian Forest and the Oolong Mountains, the Plum Blossom Pass is named after a huge plum tree in the col, but this plum tree was destroyed more than 300 years ago, making the originally peaceful Plum Blossom Pass a dangerous place where demonic beasts often haunt it.

"According to what I learned, Lantian Forest and Oolong Mountain Range are both places where demonic beasts live, and although they are neighbors, they don't interact with each other. However, after the plum tree in Plum Blossom Pass was destroyed, the demonic beasts in these two places began to come into contact, and from time to time they held sorority parties in Plum Blossom Pass. Sitting in the carriage, Wuyun Fei saw that the convoy was about to arrive at Plum Blossom Pass, so he began to tell Ye Gufeng the story about Plum Blossom Pass: "Plum Blossom Pass is an important transportation artery in our Northern Underworld Dynasty, if it is lost, it means to bypass the vast Lantian Forest and Oolong Mountain Range, which will aggravate the consumption of a large amount of road expenses, so our Northern Underworld Dynasty also hired a large number of mercenaries to go to Plum Blossom Pass to clean up the Magic Beasts, and even planned to build a fortress in the Plum Blossom Pass, but this move attracted more powerful Demonic Beasts, and finally died without a problem." ”

"This qiē is all caused by that plum tree!" After thinking about it, Ye Gufeng also grasped the point.

"That's right!" Stretching out his hand and snapping his fingers, Wu Yunfei leaned on the carriage with his arms crossed, and continued to tell the past about the Plum Blossom Pass: "Because the project was blocked, our Northern Underworld Dynasty had to send nine people with the ability of the core of the battle armor to the Plum Blossom Pass, but it didn't take long to usher in the two overlord demonic beasts of the Lantian Forest and the Oolong Mountain Range, and after some reconciliation, they understood the truth. It turns out that the plum tree is a proof of the junction between the Lantian Forest and the Oolong Mountain Range, which was planted by the overlord of the previous generation. ”

Hearing this, Ye Gufeng also came up with a clever plan: "Then just plant another plum tree!"

"Alas!" Shaking his head, Wuyunfei sighed and said: "Of course we have mentioned this kind of thing in the Northern Underworld Dynasty, but unfortunately it was strongly rejected by the two overlord Demon Beasts, they think that it is too pedantic to continue to plant plum trees, and the current society advocates innovation, so after discussion, they decided to plant chrysanthemums." ”

"Is that the problem solved?"

Because the fecundity of chrysanthemums is much stronger than that of plum blossoms, and this thing was planted by the overlord demonic beasts, and the rest of the demonic beasts did not dare to destroy it lightly, so they led the mountains and fields to be full of small daisies. ”

"......" Ye Gufeng was speechless, but this problem seems to have been solved, but why is the Plum Blossom Pass so dangerous now?

"Although the junction of the Blue Sky Forest and the Oolong Mountain Range is clear, if we humans want to establish a trade route there, we humans will inevitably destroy the little daisies of the Plum Blossom Pass, so that the two overlords of the Warcraft will not be satisfied, coupled with the mutual contact some time ago, a lot of new varieties have been added to the Warcraft families of both sides, since we humans have destroyed the peace here, then they are also seizing the opportunity to destroy all the chrysanthemums in the Plum Blossom Pass. Then, they made a pact with us humans, stipulating that we humans are allowed to pass guò safely from the twenty-fifth day of each month to the fifth day of the new month, and if you want to pass guò the rest of the time, you can only bet on your life!"

"Oh, I see!" Ye Gufeng suddenly realized after hearing this, and after thinking about today's day, he couldn't help but show a smile on his face: "Yunfei, today is the fourth day of the fifth month, so aren't we safe?"

"Hmm!" Standing up from the carriage, Wuyunfei pointed to the plum blossom pass that was getting closer and closer, and shouted: "Today is the time of safety, so let's go through the plum blossom pass safely!"

……

Ye Gufeng drove the carriage in the plum blossom pass, observing the grass and trees on both sides, as well as the road full of car marks in front of him, these car marks are generally very new, it seems that many people have passed here these days.

Zhao Wang patted Ye Gufeng and Wu Yunfei on the shoulders, and said: "Yunfei Gufeng, walk around the corner in front of you to the plum blossom pass, where there is a plum tree that has been brilliant for hundreds of years. ”

"Is that the plum tree that was destroyed?" Wu Yunfei and Ye Gufeng had never been here, and they were very curious about the plum tree in their hearts, and they drove the carriage they sat down to speed forward.

"Well, it's there, but more than three hundred years have passed, and the stump that was left behind has long since turned into nothing!" Zhao Wang pointed to a large stone monument not far ahead, with a plum tree carved on it, standing next to the road, proving that there was once a great plum tree here.

"Yunfei Gufeng, do you two feel that something is wrong here!" Zhao Wang, who had just finished introducing the stone stele, narrowed his eyes, looked at the surrounding scene, and his heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a lot: "The car marks on the road seem to be a little messy!"

"Is it that everyone passing by has come to stop in front of the stone monument!" As soon as Wu Yunfei finished speaking, his face turned black, because as the carriage continued to move forward, there was no trace of the carriage on the road ahead.

"There is a situation!" Kicking open the back door of the carriage, Zhao Wang hurriedly explained the situation ahead to Chi Yu on the carriage behind.

"Stop!" Chi Yu looked surprised when he heard this, and immediately ordered to stop, then jumped out of the carriage and shouted to Sister Jiang in the back: "Sister Jiang, there is a situation ahead!"

"What's wrong?" Sister Jiang and Miss Qin Si also got out of the carriage as soon as they learned about it, looked around, and ran to the front of the convoy, when they saw that there was no trace of the carriage in front of them, their faces were shocked: "What happened here?"

A mercenary quickly investigated the neighborhood and then ran back to Sister Jiang and said the results of his investigation: "Sister Jiang, no trace of carriages or humans has been found in this vicinity, and no new demonic beast footprints have been found!"

"What, doesn't that mean that these caravans and carriages have disappeared for no reason!" Akabane frowned, this qiē looked a little incredible.

Sister Jiang also looked contemplative: "What's going on?"

"Heaven!" Crossing her arms, Miss Qin Si looked up at the blue sky and said, "Those who have the ability to do this, nine times out of ten, are flying demonic beasts!"

"Hey, flying demonic beast!" While marveling at Miss Qin Si's quick thinking, Ye Gufeng was also surprised by the appearance of the flying demonic beast, because the flying demonic beast that could grab the carriage should be so big!

"Let's go!I hope those flying demonic beasts have eaten enough!" After speaking, Miss Qin Si turned around and walked towards her carriage.

"That's it!" Ye Gufeng looked at Miss Qin Si's back, a little overwhelmed.

"Hehe!" Seeing Ye Gufeng like this, Cuihua felt funny, raised her arm and pointed to the bright sun in the sky and explained: "It's noon, and the general large flying demonic beasts won't come out to forage for food, let's take advantage of this time to leave quickly!"

"Sister Jiang?" Chi Yu on the side also heard this, but he didn't know much about flying demonic beasts, so he had to ask Sister Jiang about his next move.

"That's right, let's listen to Miss Qin Si!" Touching her chin, Sister Jiang nodded slightly.

"Hmm!" Sister Jiang said so, of course Chi Yu had no doubts, waved her arm, and greeted everyone: "Get in the car and leave the plum blossom pass, speed up!"
