Chapter 120: Smoke
Of course, Fan Wu didn't know that there was anger in that forest again, in fact, in the past few days since he returned to the Netherworld, the flower buds were slowly growing every day, and the light emitted by them became brighter and brighter every night.
Although the increase in growth and glow is almost negligible, it is only almost, and it is definitely tenacious.
It was only because the light from the bud was so faint, like a small flashlight covered by a thick quilt, and it was hidden deep in the middle of the woods, so it didn't attract anyone's attention.
The Smoke Woman, along with the two priests and the Servants of God, all crossed over the woods, almost all of them paying no attention to the trees, except for the slight slowdown of the Smoke Woman as she flew over the trees.
But it didn't stop, it still flew by directly, and the two groups of people behind didn't even slow down, and they didn't have any feelings about this ordinary forest at all.
On the contrary, when passing over Jingyanggang, Xie Tian stopped a little to take a look, but he was probably in a hurry, so he didn't land, and finally continued on the road with a regretful expression.
Fan Wu didn't fly back, but honestly and down-to-earth ran back with the thunder dragon, but his current strength, the speed of running at full speed was not much slower than flying, and it only took half a day to run back from that valley.
Although he didn't know that the woods had rejuvenated and sprouted, he felt a burst of joy when he passed by the edge of the woods.
Although it was a little strange, he didn't think much about it, just thought that he was about to return to the mountain and meet Zixian, so he was in a better mood.
The flower buds in the center of the woods did not have any abnormalities during the day, and only emitted a faint light at night, but when Fan Wu passed by, they flickered and flickered.
It wasn't until Fan Wu left the woods that he slowly returned to his normal state, and became a little sluggish as if he had consumed too much.
Fan Wu returned to the mountain smoothly, called Zixian and White Tiger Fluttershy, and explained to them what he had seen and heard this time, except that he did not tell them that he knew a few of them, and described the whole process.
After listening to what Fan Wu said, neither Zixian nor Fluttershy had any thoughts, but said that everything was done according to Fan Wu's arrangement, and only White Tiger fell into deep thought.
Seeing Bai Hu's thoughtful appearance, Fan Wu waited patiently to see what he would think.
When he described the whole process in detail just now, he wanted to see if the three of them could remember if they had heard of something similar, after all, the three of them had been living in the Netherworld for hundreds of years.
The key is to look at Chen Xiangjun's action process, it seems that this is not the first time to do this today, it is estimated that it has been done before, or there will be some clues left, or there are rumors.
Sure enough, the first thing Bai Hu said when he woke up from his contemplation was: "I have experienced this." ”
Fan Wu immediately asked, "White Tiger, you tell me in detail." ”
Half a day later, Fan Wu appeared on the top of Jingyanggang and headed due south.
Fan Wu, who originally decided not to intervene in this matter, decided to take a look after talking to Baihu, not necessarily involved, but to know the direction of the matter.
According to Baihu, he didn't hear about it, but his own personal experience, and he was still a little tiger who had just been born for a long time.
Because of his early enlightenment, Baihu at that time already had a certain amount of intelligence, his parents were still there at that time, and he was not yet old enough to survive independently, so his parents were still living together.
Looking back, he felt that it was the happiest years so far, and the time spent with his parents in those years was carefree except for eating and sleeping every day.
But the good times didn't last long, and one day an outsider came, and several big demon organizations in their area organized all the demon beasts within a radius of a hundred miles to participate in an important ceremony together.
Just like what Fan Wu saw today, the so-called ritual was actually a sacrifice of life to open the passage so that the big people from the outside world could descend to the netherworld.
It's just that the scale back then was much larger than what Fan Wu saw today, and there were as many as five passages opened at the same time, so in addition to the beasts, many demon beasts were also forced to become sacrifices.
Among them was White Tiger's parents, who were spared because he was too young and the others didn't know that he had enlightened his mind.
At that time, the little tiger saw his parents being sacrificed, so he developed a closed personality later, and it was not until he met Fan Wu and Jingyang Okami that the friendly atmosphere improved.
Although the white tiger was young back then, he had a deep memory of the death process of his parents, and today Fan Wu said that the four big people who were present, he immediately judged that the first general who appeared had also been here that year.
According to the White Tiger, although he didn't know what those people were here for, since they came, the Netherworld fell into a dark period for the next ten years.
Although there was no large-scale war, there was a tense state of readiness between the various forces, but fortunately, it did not turn out of control.
Because the white tiger was too young back then, although he was enlightened early, he didn't have many channels to get news, so more details about that year are not known at all.
But one thing is very certain, after that incident, the whole Netherworld suddenly became alive, as if the whole world had awakened from its slumber.
Not only has the natural world become more vibrant, but even all kinds of living things have become more easily able to obtain energy, and their strength has more than doubled compared to before.
Although he didn't get more information, White Tiger's description aroused Fan Wu's curiosity even more, and after explaining to Zixian, he immediately left Jingyanggang and tracked south.
White Tiger takes Fluttershy north to find the general's traces, because of his parents' enmity, Fan Wu has no reason to stop him, just tells him to be careful and let him go.
Fan Wu left the Jingyanggang range all the way to the south, and the places he passed on the way were basically mainly mountainous, and occasionally there would be one or two small lakes in the middle of the mountains, but they were all as close to dry as the streams on Jingyanggang Mountain, leaving only a small puddle at the bottom of the lake.
Fan Wu still didn't choose to fly, but continued to use his legs on the road, because this matter had almost nothing to do with him, even if he chased it, he could only look at it from a distance, and he had to be careful not to let the other party find out, otherwise it would basically be an act of death.
Of these people on the other side, only Fan Gui may have the same strength as him, and everyone else should be able to crush Fan Wu in terms of level.
Therefore, it is better to take this opportunity to familiarize yourself with the Netherworld, especially the terrain and landforms around Jingyanggang, which is a necessary lesson for future development and growth.
So Fan Wu, who was not in a hurry to go, climbed the mountain as soon as he could, and he would enter the forest, and did not let go of any place where there might be hidden demon beasts, and he wanted to raise the level of the thunder dragon as soon as possible, so as to prepare for the battle that was likely to occur in the future.
The Smoke Woman left the valley and headed straight in the direction of due south, and like Fan Wu, she didn't take the form of flying in the air because she didn't need to.
I don't know how the smoke on her body exists, it is between a solid and a gas, which can not only wrap around the surface of her body like a gas and cover the whole person tightly, but also blow like a solid.
No matter how fast the woman accelerated, the smoke remained slow, and it seemed that it was not affected by the oncoming wind pressure at all.
If you look down from a high altitude, you can see that the woman not only maintains a speed of more than 100 miles per hour, but also does not deviate at all, and is in a straight line to the south.
No matter what terrain she encounters on the road, she will pass straight through, and she is not the kind of straight line that climbs mountains and wades through water, but crosses mountains and treads water when encountering water.
In the smoky state, the woman seemed to be completely incorporeal, and anything could pass through it, no matter whether it was a jungle of trees or rocks in front of her, it could not stop her steps at all.
If she encounters rivers and lakes, she neither goes into the water nor floats on the water, but steps on the water and runs forward as if she were walking on the ground.
It can be said that the woman has always been stepping on the horizon of the netherworld, and there are no ups and downs in the whole process of progress, nor any left and right deviations.
It was as if someone had fired a laser due south from a valley position, piercing everything in the way, and heading straight for the target.
However, the woman was very different from the laser, although she also ignored any obstacles to the straight line of the horizon, but did not cause any damage to the objects traversed, her body was like a phantom, leaving almost no other traces except for one or two footprints on some wet dirt floor.
But how could a master of her level leave footprints on the ground, it is estimated that she left them on purpose, and the purpose should be to allow latecomers to follow the footprints.
Because this mission was not completed by her alone, the alliance also sent her two assistants, although she didn't need their help to complete the task smoothly, but she also knew that it was necessary.
Because the major forces only formed an alliance because of their interests, there is no such thing as mutual trust, and every action must be carried out smoothly after restraining each other.
So she can't refuse such an arrangement, but not being able to refuse doesn't mean that she has to like and accept it, she has always liked to be alone, and she doesn't think about the two foreign assistants arranged for her in the alliance at all.
Therefore, as soon as she arrived at the Netherworld, she immediately rushed to the mission destination at high speed, only leaving one or two footprints on the route every once in a while, in fact, what she thought in her heart was not that it was convenient for those two people to chase after them smoothly, she wished they couldn't catch up at all.
The footprints were only to show their attitude, and she could not be blamed if the two of them could not catch up with them, although they began to appear hundreds of miles after she had left the valley.
