Chapter 400: The Plotter
Mu Xiaofeng and the others continued to go on the road after resting for a night, but what they didn't expect was that the mountain road was longer than they imagined, and they didn't see the top after climbing for four days in a row.
Along the way, they had gradually seen corpses strewn along the road, some of them from exhaustion, some of them with fatal wounds in the throat or heart, and it seemed that they had been assassinated in the night.
Mu Xiaofeng couldn't help but feel that this All Souls Conference was a little disgusting in the face of this shocking scene, and even Amy on his back wanted to retch every time he saw the corpse.
However, finally on the afternoon of the fifth day, Mu Xiaofeng and the others arrived at the fifth layer of the Holy Mountain.
"This holy mountain is really strange, why is it that the road on the fourth and fifth floors will be so long, and there will be such a long mountain road on each layer in the future, right?" Fufeng was so tired that he couldn't do it, so he lay on the ground panting.
On the contrary, the Iron Eater was a little calm, and when it reached the fifth layer, its temper was not as violent as before.
Mu Xiaofeng was also a lot relieved to see the Iron Eater Beast calm down, slowly stroked the Iron Eater's head, and then comforted: "You must be tired too, right?" It's a really hard mountain to climb. ”
The Iron Eater Beast shook his head, he looked at the situation around the fifth layer, "Strange, the breath of the Vermilion Bird Holy Beast has weakened, but a familiar aura has appeared, I can't remember whose smell it is for a while." ”
"Old friends?"
"How is that possible! I've been wandering around the White Land for so many years, how can I have friends here. ”
Mu Xiaofeng laughed when he heard this, "What about the thousand-year-old scorpion?" You are both ancient beasts, so you should have a good relationship before. ”
The Iron Eater shook his head, "In the past, when the entire land was still together, our four ancient beasts fought for a long time, and my friendship with them was no more than that. ”
Now that they have come to the fifth layer, Mu Xiaofeng and the others are not in a hurry to explore here first, it is better to have a good rest, if they encounter danger here, they have no way to resist it.
At this time, the Poison King had already arrived in the capital of the Guangqi Federation, and he was stopped by a group of guards at the foot of the holy mountain.
"Who are you? It's time for the Assembly of All Souls, and it's too dangerous for anyone to get close to! The guards aimed their spears at the Poison King.
The Poison King smiled contemptuously at this time, and he reached out for the medicine bag on his waist, preparing to poison the guards in front of him.
"Wait!" At this time, a person grabbed the wrist of the Poison King, and then stopped the Poison King.
The Poison King turned his head and saw that this person was an orc, wearing a robe, and he was the elder of the Radiance Federation-Del.
However, the Poison King, who had not been born for a long time, did not know this person, but the guards knelt down one after another, and they all saluted Del, which also let the Poison King know that the orc in front of him was not ordinary.
Del didn't say anything to the Poison King, but walked up to the guards and reprimanded loudly: "You guys really don't know Taishan, this is the legendary Poison King, if I wasn't here today, I'm afraid your life will be lost." ”
These guards heard the name of the Poison King, and they all kowtowed to the Poison King to apologize, the Poison King is their legendary character, it is said that he has lived in the Valley of the Medicine King for many years, and he is a brother to the Medicine King, and no one may be able to meet him for hundreds of years.
However, Del's words surprised the Poison King a little, what he didn't expect was that someone would be able to recognize him, seeing that this orc was not very old, only about forty, how could he recognize himself.
However, he was recognized, and seeing that the orc in front of him was quite respectful to him, the poison king asked to enter the holy mountain to find someone.
Del first bowed respectfully to the Poison King, and then asked, "I don't know who the Poison King is looking for when he goes to the Holy Mountain now?" ”
"This matter has nothing to do with you, you just need to let me in, of course you can't stop me."
"Lord Poison King, I don't mean to stop you from looking for someone, it's just that it's the Ten Thousand Souls Conference, and the first and second layers of this holy mountain have already lit the holy fire, I think it will definitely be dangerous if Lord Poison King enters."
The Poison King looked at the Holy Mountain from a distance at this time, and vaguely he saw that there was indeed a fire coming from the direction of the Holy Mountain, and it seemed that the orc in front of him had not deceived himself.
"It's okay, it's just Suzaku's holy fire, and it can't hurt me." After saying that, the Poison King set off directly in the direction of the Holy Mountain, and Del did not send someone to stop him, but took out a small notebook from his robe, and he didn't know what was written, and turned to leave.
And Mu Xiaofeng, who was on the fifth layer of the Holy Mountain, didn't know that the Poison King had come to the Holy Mountain to find him now, he was sleeping in the makeshift camp, and climbing the mountain with Amy on his back in the past few days had indeed exhausted him.
In the second half of the night, suddenly Wu Tianci shouted, "Who is there!" Do not approach. ”
Mu Xiaofeng and the others also woke up after hearing the shout, and each took their own things and rushed out of the camp.
After they came out, they saw a few people in front of them who were covered in injuries and staggering towards the direction of the camp, and Mu Xiaofeng's sharp eyes saw that one of them was the Shadow Man with the bow and arrow who had attacked him before.
The Shadow Man with the Bow and Arrow slowly walked in front of Wu Tianci, and before he could open his mouth, he fell directly to the ground, and the others also pleaded with Wu Tianci in the hope of being taken in.
"Let them in, Fufeng, you go and prepare herbs to heal these people." Mu Xiaofeng glanced at the Shadow Man with the bow and arrow who fell to the ground, this woman's long purple hair covered her face, but from Miao Man's figure, she couldn't tell that this was a murderous person.
"Amy, this sister, you can help apply medicine to her, it's not convenient for us big men." Fufeng smiled at Amy, and then handed the herbs to Amy. Mu Xiaofeng also gave up his camp tent at this time, only letting Amy and this Bow Shadow Man be there.
Before Amy entered the camp, Mu Xiaofeng carefully told Amy to be careful, and if there was any danger, she must shout out.
Amy nodded as if she didn't understand, of course she knew that this Shadow Man was dangerous, but since Mu Xiaofeng had decided to save these people, she had nothing to object.
At this time, Mu Xiaofeng was helping other people, and this busy work was over in one night, Mu Xiaofeng was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes at this time, and his upper eyelids and lower eyelids were fighting.
"Ahh Amy's scream came from the camp tent, and Mu Xiaofeng immediately took the white tiger sword and shield and rushed into the camp after hearing it.
"Amy! Are you okay! ”
Mu Xiaofeng looked up and saw that this Bow and Arrow Shadow Man was really beautiful, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a tall nose bridge and a pair of cherry mouths that looked a little exotic. Coupled with her snow-white skin like jade, this also made Mu Xiaofeng a little strange, it turned out that this girl was wearing nothing on her upper body, and she was protecting her front with her hands, and this girl's face was already flushed.
Mu Xiaofeng knew that he was rude at this time, so he hurriedly dragged Amy out, and then said angrily, "You girl, you have nothing to call for, I don't think you're hurt." ”
Amy lowered her head a little shyly at this time, and then replied in a low voice, "Amy is still young, it was this big sister who asked me to change her clothes, I originally handed over the clothes with my eyes closed, who knew that I was still curious and squinted my eyes and peeked at it, but I didn't expect to be discovered by this sister." ”
Mu Xiaofeng patted his forehead, he really couldn't do anything with this kid, and blamed himself for almost falling asleep just now, this Amy's shout made him rush in directly without thinking too much.
"Come in! I'm dressed. The girl's voice came from inside the tent.
Mu Xiaofeng led Amy into the tent, he didn't dare to look up at the girl in front of him at all, but bowed to her with his head down and admitted his mistake, "I'm sorry, I thought Amy was in some danger and rushed in, I didn't see anything white just now!" ”
Mu Xiaofeng knew that she was speechless, so she quickly covered her mouth, and the girl blushed again.
"Ago, I wanted to plot against you on the second floor, but I didn't expect you to save us today regardless of your previous suspicions." The girl nodded at Mu Xiaofeng and thanked her, she naturally recognized Mu Xiaofeng as the person who blocked the fire spirit at that time.
"Girl, don't say that, even if I don't want to save you, my friends around me won't be able to stand it, it's not my idea to save you, it's everyone's decision."
"I really envy you, you can trust and rely on each other, it's hard to have such a person in this All Souls Conference." At this time, the girl lowered her head, she seemed to have suffered from someone else's plot, but for her previous behavior, this was just evil retribution, and Mu Xiaofeng did not sympathize.
It's just that Mu Xiaofeng was very curious about what danger was in this fifth layer, and the woman in front of him must have already experienced it, so he hurriedly asked this woman about the experience.
Now that Mu Xiaofeng saved herself, this girl no longer has anything to hide, she told Mu Xiaofeng that there is a monster guarding the fifth layer, this monster is a snake demon with nine heads, the scales on its body are hard, and it can breathe fire and spit water to poison it, and its strength is strong, they have been fighting with the snake demon for several days without winning.
It's just that then there was a strange guy who summoned a lot of huge native puppets, and this snake demon didn't fight with them after seeing the native puppets, but just turned his head and swallowed these native puppets into his stomach, as if it was feeding on these native puppets.
And the strange fellow swaggered through the side of the hydra with his companion, and the girl had wanted to take the opportunity to pass through here, but when they were halfway there, suddenly all the native puppets disappeared.
And they are now too close to the Hydra, and they can't get away in time, so they desperately sacrificed a few people to escape, and only then did they meet Mu Xiaofeng and them.
