Volume 1: The Beginning of the Lunar New Year Chapter 48 Continue on the road
The battle was over, and Tao Qian and Chen Wan'er searched the corpse, and finally found several letters on the body of the deputy hall master. After the two of them read it, they found that this was a letter from the hall master to the deputy hall master, which clearly stated that the main altar of the Worship Sect had issued an order to Cui Qutang, allowing Cui Qutang to blend into the Shanglin Festival and enter the secret realm to seize the inheritance of Hu Lienan.
In addition, the letter also pointed out that the inheritance of Hu Lie Nan is a wordless heavenly book, which records an ancient talisman, and the general altar asks for this ancient talisman, but the hall master and the deputy hall master are unwilling to just condescend to others, so they discuss to seize the inheritance and then go away to establish a new force.
But the deputy hall master never imagined that before he could implement the plan, he would die here and say goodbye to the world forever. Tao Qian put away the letter and smiled, it seems that the hearts of the people within this worship sect are not as stable as they appear, and there may be many people like this who are thinking about how to get rid of the control of the sect and occupy the mountain as the king themselves.
"Let's go, sister." Tao Qian said. Chen Wan'er nodded, and the two walked all the way forward, and when they walked out of the green valley, it was already a little dark, and the two decided to rest in place.
Tao Qian often lives in the wild, and is very skilled in camping and lighting fires, but Chen Wan'er has been in Shanglin City almost since she was a child, and she doesn't know much about what to do in the wild, so she studied carefully with Tao Gan.
Tao Gan taught Chen Wan'er how to choose a place to put the camp, how to make a fire to avoid wild beasts, etc., Tao Gan said word by word, telling everything he knew, Chen Wan'er listened carefully on the sidelines, practiced from time to time, and settled everything when it was completely dark.
The fire burns the wood, making a "creaking" sound, and a hare is erected above the flame, and the pottery rolls the hare at one end from time to time to make it evenly heated, and after a while, the hare exudes an attractive fragrance, and the surface also flows dripping grease, which shines in the light of the fire.
Chen Wan'er knelt on the mat, looked at the hare in front of her, smelled the fragrance, and couldn't help but move her throat. Tao Qian saw it and said with a smile: "Sister, don't worry, it'll be fine soon." Chen Wan'er blushed a little and turned her head away, but her eyes glanced at the hare from time to time.
Tao Qian secretly noticed Chen Wan'er's small movements, the corners of his mouth were raised, and the movements in his hands were more cheerful, not long after, the hare was already roasted, Tao Qian held the wooden stick in his hand, took the hare off the fire, handed it to his nose and smelled it, nodded and then handed it to Chen Wan'er: "Oh, okay, sister, taste it first!" ”
Chen Wan'er took it, opened her small mouth, took a bite gently, chewed it carefully in her mouth, and then made a sound of admiration: "Well, it's delicious!" I took another bite, my eyes narrowed, and I smiled at the corners of my mouth, looking very happy.
Tao Qian saw Chen Wan'er's expression, laughed, his craftsmanship did not regress, and he felt very happy in his heart. So Tao Qian set up another hare, roasted it, and the two settled their dinner in a red atmosphere, and then each lay down on the mat and fell asleep.
"Chirp!" There was a burst of birdsong in his ears, Tao Qian slowly opened his eyes, in front of him was Chen Wan'er's sleeping face, very quiet and serene, Tao Qian sat up and called softly: "Sister, sister, get up." Chen Wan'er's eyelids twitched a few times, and she slowly opened her eyes, and saw Tao Qian staring at herself in front of her and calling softly, her face flushed, and then she sat up: "Good morning, godbrother!" ”
"Good morning!" Tao Qian smiled, then went to the side to fetch the stream water, put it next to the fire with much less firepower, and went to the stream to wash, while Chen Wan'er took the heated water next to the fire and washed it. After the two of them washed up, packed their luggage, buried the fire with earth, and continued to walk deeper into the early morning sun and mist.
"Brother, look!" Chen Wan'er pointed to the cave in front of her and shouted. Tao Qian looked over and saw a huge cave in front of him blocking the road, the entrance of the cave looked a hundred zhang high and wide, covering the sky and the sun, the entrance of the cave was dark and swarthy, and it was not clear to see inside, only a large shadow was lying at the entrance of the cave, which looked gloomy and terrifying.
"Sister, is there this place on the map?" Tao Qian asked.
"No, it seems to be an unexplored location."
"Haven't been explored? That seems to be a bit troublesome, such a big cave is in the middle of the road, and there is no other way to go but to go in. ”
"Well, there's only one way in."
The two walked into the cave side by side, it was pitch black, standing in the cave, lighting torches, and then faintly seeing the surroundings. The space in the cave is very open, the whole tunnel is like a circular tunnel, the cave wall is smooth, and the eye is full of blood, which does not look like a natural formation.
The two of them continued to walk forward, and after a while, they faintly heard the sound of water flowing, and felt that the temperature around them seemed to have risen a little. The two of them followed the sound, and saw a blood-red river flowing, the water was not fast, the river seemed to have its source in the ground, and it continued to flow out, flowing deeper into the cave.
Tao Qian opened his mouth and said, "It seems that if you want to continue going inside, you have to have a small boat." ”
"But where does a ship come from in this cave?"
"Sister, remember that there are many trees outside the cave, let's build a boat ourselves."
"Huh? But I don't know how to build a ship. Chen Wan'er whispered.
Tao Qian opened his mouth to comfort: "Then my sister will help me, and I will make it." ”
"Okay, okay."
Under Tao Gan's command, Chen Wan'er helped Tao Qian cut out a small boat little by little, and then made two oars, and the two carried the boat into the cave, threw the boat into the river, and the boat floated perfectly on the river.
"It's done!" Tao Qian wiped the sweat on his head and said excitedly.
Chen Wan'er was also excited, obviously happy that she was able to build a ship. The two got into the boat, and Tao Qian took the oars and rowed along the river to the cave little by little.
"Whoa! Crash! The oars broke through the waves, and little by little the boat swam on the river, and after a while, Tao Qian seemed to see a light in front of him, so he accelerated his speed, and said in his mouth: "Sister, see if there is light ahead!" ”
Chen Wan'er looked forward carefully and said, "There is a piece of light, is it an exit?" ”
The two of them took a boat to take a closer look, but found that it was not an exit at all, but a piece of land, the land was blood-red, floating on the river, and the river was broken by the waist of this land here, and only the small openings on both sides allowed the water to pass through.
There is a blood pool in the middle of the land, and there is a blood lotus in the center of the blood pool, and the blood lotus contains a light bead, which is the light emitted by this light bead. And around the blood pool, there are many blood-red wolf monsters roaming, as if guarding the blood pool.
Tao Qian didn't expect such a scene, and couldn't help frowning: "What kind of place is this?" This pool of blood looks very ominous, like an evil thing. ”
"It seems that the key is on this land!" Chen Wan'er looked around and said conclusively.
"Well, there's no way ahead, let's go ashore and take a look, sister is ready for battle, this group of blood wolves looks difficult to deal with!" Chen Wan'er nodded, indicating that she knew.
Tao Qian steered the boat to slowly approach the shore, and as soon as he stopped, a wolf's howl sounded in his ears: "Whew! When I looked up, a blood wolf had already spotted the two of them, and was rushing towards the boat.
Chen Wan'er rushed ashore first, and an ice spike stabbed at the blood wolf, and the blood wolf dodged the attack with extreme agility and dexterity, opened its mouth, screamed fiercely, and continued to rush over.
Tao Qian also went ashore at this time, he blocked in front of Chen Wan'er, summoned a fire python and flew over, the blood wolf failed to flash at this time, and was entangled by the fire python, the two were torn together fiercely, the blood wolf's skin was open, and a fierce and painful roar came out of his mouth.
The sound attracted the attention of the other blood wolves, and several blood wolves roared towards the two of them. Seeing that the situation was not right, Tao Qian grabbed Chen Wan'er's hand and ran towards the open space on the shore. Just a few steps away, at first the blood wolf had already gotten rid of the fire python, its mouth opened, and a blood arrow erupted from its mouth, hitting the boat, "pop", the wooden boat was shot by the blood arrow, scattered and split, and then sank to the bottom of the river.
"Damn!" Seeing that the boat was gone, Tao Qian scolded, there is no way back now, and these blood wolves must be dealt with. At this time, several other blood wolves also came, and together with the blood wolf at the beginning, they formed an encirclement, surrounding Tao Qian and Chen Wan'er in the middle, and then slowly approached, looking like they were about to attack.
Tao Qian and Chen Wan'er stood back to back in the middle of the encirclement, very nervous, what should they do at a critical moment?
