Chapter 9: Secrets in the Mountains
At the gate:
"Why do you bring these, don't your divine beasts need to eat?" Seeing that our outfits and supplies were only enough for us to use alone, the Stygian Sun couldn't help but have some doubts.
"We never feed them, we only feed them once in a while. To this, I replied disapprovingly.
"Aren't you worried that they're going to starve to death?" Stygian was surprised by our attitude, and thought it was incredible.
"Although they have been subdued by us, in addition to not allowing them to hurt people at will, destroy things that should not be destroyed and maintain them to a certain extent, we have always kept them in a state of stocking, not caring about them, and solving everything by themselves, so they still maintain their original wild survival ability and original wildness. They were able to find food on their own and we didn't need to worry about it. Bai Shenghuang told him very bluntly.
"Let's get out of here. Pei Yilin rarely urged.
"Alright, let's go. It's really rare that you will also urge people at the time. I looked at Pei Yilin with a smile.
"Dare to say that Pei Yilin, the big iceberg, is the only one who is looking for accommodation (xiu). Bai Shenghuang also made a joke.
"So you dare to say this about me and Pei Yilin, only you. "Since I'm joking, I don't have any scruples.
A few of us walked noisily all the way, and no one felt anything, and we didn't pay much attention to the scenery around us, and we didn't feel anything along the way, and soon we came to the vicinity of the 'Ghost Mountain'.
When we arrived near this 'ghost mountain', we released our respective divine beasts. The first time Shenyang saw the ancient divine beast, there was a rare expression of surprise, rare and strange on Junxiu's face. However, except for a few people, after seeing the ancient divine beasts, the expression of the dark sun or something, it was quite good.
"Now, we have reached the vicinity of 'Ghost Mountain'. "Stygian Yang took a look at the surrounding environment, it was the place he had checked yesterday.
"It's similar, isn't it?" Pei Yilin asked. It's a question, but it's a big deal.
"Yes, it's like. ”
When I got to the bottom of the hill and looked up the hill, I could only see part of it, but I was pretty sure that this place was very similar to the little village we had been in.
"Now, how do we go up?" Styx looked at the 'Ghost Mountain' in front of him, a little helpless.
"We have our own way. "I, no, it should be that we except for the dark sun, are very calm, and I don't take the altitude of this 'ghost mountain' in my eyes at all, because I have already been to a higher mountain than this 'ghost mountain'.
Several people released their divine beasts very tacitly, I chose Tianmeng, let the nine tails go to take the dark sun, and after a while, they reached the top of the mountain.
"Cangxunsu (xiu) is really powerful, and he has subdued two divine beasts by himself. "Stygian Yang was a little impressed.
"Let's hurry up and try to find a place to rest before dark. I kindly reminded me, and at the same time I was changing the subject.
With the divine beasts on our side, we can discover some problems that we can't find for a while, and we can be on guard in the shortest possible time; especially for the poisonous gas in the air, and the aggressive animals and plants that may appear at any time around us; among these animals and plants, it is very likely that there will be some animals and plants that we are not familiar with, or some animals and plants that are within the range of people know, but have become extinct.
After looking at the sky, the surrounding environment, and the reactions of Tianmeng and the Nine-Tails, I made a decision: "Okay, today, let's camp here." There are basically no problems here. ”
"Are you sure?" asked Stygian Sun very seriously.
"I know for sure. Even if you can't be sure, do you think we can continue to move forward with the current sky?" After answering the question of the Stygian Sun, he asked the Stygian Sun rhetorically.
"Let's hurry up. Otherwise, when it gets completely dark, it will be difficult to do. Bai Shenghuang reminded.
"I, Shenghuang and I, as well as the Stygian Sun, set up a tent here, and we will pick up some firewood to make a fire, and find some food by the way. "Lexuan assigned their respective jobs.
"Good. "After the work is assigned, they go their separate ways.
When the sun was about to set on the horizon, the sky was slightly dark, and the white clouds were dyed red, and seeing this, the three of us who were collecting firewood and looking for food, after completing the task, returned to the camp together, and when they arrived, Le Xuan and the others had already set up their tents.
"Right now, we only have four tents here, the old rule is one tent per person, and there are five of us, sharing three tents. Bai Shenghuang arranged it.
No one has an opinion, but Stygian has some doubts, and it is the obvious kind, even Scarlet can see it.
"Xiu has been sleeping since he was a child, and he doesn't like to share a place with people, not to mention the difference between men and women. Scarlet Ting didn't have any worries at all, and said it very directly, and he was not afraid of being misunderstood by others, and because of this, no one would misunderstand anything.
Since entering the forest, I have not seen any strange phenomena that I have heard of. Except for the dark sun, it is not the first time to enter the ancient forest, nor is it the first time to spend the night in the ancient forest, but this time it is not here to play, but there is a task on it.
The next day, the sky was slightly bright, but at this time, we who were originally asleep, suddenly heard the cry of the beasts in our ears, and after hearing the call, we immediately woke up, got up as fast as possible, and walked out of the tent to see what was going on. But when we really saw what we were seeing from now on, we were all silent, not knowing what to say.........
"So many ghost fires. This is what we call a ghost fire that can't find out why. Now that you've seen it with your own eyes, what do you think?" the sun was the first to break the silence.
"I'm just going to say to you now, have you ever been through an ancient underground chamber before, and it hasn't been excavated yet. "I asked directly, at this time, it's not good to beat around the bush.
"I've been to the secret room or something, but I've never been to an ancient tomb that has been excavated for more than a thousand years, but I'm not afraid. ”
"Then I'll tell you directly, the reason why there are so many ghost fires here is because there are many corpses piled up here, I think this should have been a battlefield or a so-called mass grave or something. If that's right, the reason why this place will become a forbidden place after the battle we heard about is the reason for the battle itself, and this reason in itself, we have to join the tomb to know, and the second is that they found out that this part of the forest is an ancient tomb, but they don't want others to know about it. ”
"What's going on with these ghost fires? Even the ancient tomb can't have ghost fires, because according to the current situation of ghost fires here, such a large amount of ghost fires requires a lot of phosphorus, and there are many colors. "Styx Yang is very puzzled.
After carefully looking at the structure here, I gave the Stygian an answer:" Because the owner of this tomb did not want to know the location of the cemetery, he killed all the participants in the tomb, and set up a mass grave on the upper floor of the tomb to the ground where we are now, and then because of this mass grave, then all the corpses left after the war were piled up here, and over time, the corpses accumulated more and more, and a lot of phosphorus accumulated; In places with high oxygen content, it is purple, and ghost fire is formed by spontaneous combustion of phosphorus, because the ignition point of phosphorus is very low, so it is easy to spontaneously combust when the temperature is higher, and it has different colors in places with different oxygen content, of course, there is also green. ”
