Chapter 44: Ten Thousand Mountains

Nanfeng City is located in the southernmost part of Zhongzhou, followed by three thousand miles of southern wilderness, echoing with Beiyue City, one south and one north.

Twenty years ago, the Yue Kingdom was destroyed, and it fell into the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty, and because of its remoteness, it was classified as another hero in the war to destroy the Yue Kingdom, Ji Tiancheng.

Ji Tiancheng's Bihu Villa is not close to Nanfeng City, but the so-called jurisdiction also exists in name only, and over time, Nanfeng City has become a buffer zone between Zhongzhou Dajin and Nanhuang, with many major sects and sects, and the power of the rivers and lakes is intertwined.

After a few days of traveling, Lu Mingfei and Gu Tianchou had already arrived outside the South Wind City.

Before leaving, Cang Wei repeatedly told Gu Tianchou to refine the Creation Zhuji Dan and ensure Lu Mingfei's safety all the way, so that the two of them rushed to the South Wind City to find the Wangtian Vine.

Although there are mixed fish and dragons in Nanfeng City, with the cultivation of Gu Tianchou and the five products, he has more than enough self-preservation.

For the sake of the Nine Sons Panlongding, Gu Tian did his best, and he was also very patient with Lu Mingfei, and answered all kinds of questions he asked one by one.

As a pharmacist, the three sentences are inseparable from alchemy, which made Lu Mingfei have a lot of interest in the art of alchemy, and he has also gained a lot of understanding along the way.

The road widened, and miles ahead, you could see the towering city gates, and to the left was a majestic mountain.

The mountains are far less dangerous than the peaks of Yanling Mountain, but they are continuous, among which the thin clouds and miasma are dense, making the mountains looming, a little less of the fairy energy in Yanling Mountain, but more of a sense of mystery.

Seeing that Lu Mingfei was a little distracted, Gu Tianchou said on the side: "This place is called Wanshan Mountain, which stretches for hundreds of miles and leads directly to the Southern Wilderness, among which there are countless spirit beasts and fairy grasses, and the Wangtian vines we are looking for grow on the side of this mountain, it is better for us to take a look around first, we can find the best, if we can't find it, we will wait for all the medicinal materials to be prepared, and then make a special trip back to find it." ”

Lu Mingfei naturally had no opinion, so he followed this Gu Tianchou towards the mountain.

On the periphery of Wanshan Mountain, the mountain road is gentle and easy to walk, and unconsciously has walked into several miles, and there is not much difference from the ordinary mountain road, Gu Tianchou only occasionally stops to pick one or two ordinary herbs and puts them in the Qiankun bag.

The other two were a little surprised that along the way, they met some pedestrians coming in and out from time to time, most of them mortals, and there were also people with cultivation.

It's just that most of these people don't have a high level of cultivation, and most of them are in the early stage of foundation building.

After walking for a while, he never found the Wangtian vine, and looked at the gradually steep mountain road, Gu Tianchou also said with some disappointment: "Forget it, I'm afraid the mountain road behind is not easy to walk, let's go to Nanfeng City first, and then look for it here after we are busy with other matters." ”

Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly heard a faint roar behind him, like the roar of a wild beast.

The sound was getting closer, and after a few moments it was clearly audible.

"Be careful!"

Gu Tianchou hurriedly stopped Lu Mingfei behind him and cautiously looked in the direction where the voice came from.

With his cultivation, he doesn't care too much about the spirit beasts that can appear here, but with the ancestor of the little uncle, he has to be cautious.

Not long after, a young man dressed in cloth clothes and straw shoes jumped out from behind a rock, looking about the same age as Lu Mingfei, with an ordinary appearance, dark skin, and a wooden spear in his hand.

The tip of the spear was polished and shiny, and it looked very sharp.

After falling, the boy rolled over, got up from the ground in a hurry, and staggered and ran forward.

Before his body could stabilize, he heard another roar behind him, and a leopard followed, jumped down from the rock, and rushed straight at the boy.

The boy couldn't avoid it, so he turned around and stabbed at the leopard with a spear.

This stab is also a bit sharp, and the leopard is still in the air, and there is no way to dodge it for a while.

Who knew that the next moment, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but be a little surprised, the tip of the spear was in the abdomen of the leopard, but the leopard was not injured at all, swinging the spear away with one claw, and grabbing the young man with another claw, leaving three blood marks on his chest.

The young man screamed and rolled down into the grass on the side, and the leopard also landed not far away, his body bowed slightly, staring coldly at the injured boy, his eyes were full of fierce light, and he would attack again at any time.

The sudden scene made Lu Mingfei a little nervous, and he had already touched his dagger with one hand, but he didn't dare to step forward rashly.

The spear of the young man before was clearly in the middle of the leopard, but it was difficult to cause any damage, and he did not think that the dagger in his hand could be of much use.

At this moment, the leopard pounced on the boy again, and the boy endured the severe pain caused by the injury, and hurriedly hid in the open space on one side.

Gu Tianchou was relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Mingfei asked a little puzzled: "What kind of leopard is this, isn't it afraid of swords?"

Gu Tianchou explained: "Look at the top of the leopard's head. ”

I had noticed before that there was a faint protrusion on the top of the leopard's head, which was indeed a little different from the usual leopard.

"This leopard's name is the blue-spotted one-horned leopard, and it is not an ordinary beast, but a low-level spirit animal. ”

"Spirit beasts?"

I had often heard Gu Tianchou mention it before, and when I saw Lu Mingfei for the first time, I couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Gu Tianchou continued to explain: "Although this low-level spirit beast is not in much danger, it is not something that these mortals and ordinary swords can deal with. ”

With a general understanding, Lu Mingfei pulled Gu Tianchou and chased over there, and said, "Since you have a way, don't save that person." ”

Gu Tianchou was not angry, and muttered to himself: "Such low-level spirit beasts are all over the mountain, I can't control it if I want to, that person is a mortal, but he wants to come here, and he clearly looks for death, and he can't blame others." ”

Although he said this, he gathered a mysterious qi in his hand, and he planned to shoot at the one-horned leopard.

The boy fled in a hurry, where was the opponent of the unicorn leopard, and he saw that he had fallen into death.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a coquettish sound, and a slender figure suddenly flashed out of nowhere.

The person who came was a tall woman, dressed in a tight red dress to set off her figure, her long black hair was scattered at will, and a long whip was coiled around her slender arm, which was standing in front of the one-horned leopard.

In the blink of an eye, several more people came out of the mountain, stood behind the woman, and surrounded the unicorn leopard.

Seeing this, the leopard seemed to be a little afraid, and no longer paid attention to the young man before, but couldn't help but take a few steps back, and roared in a low voice.

Suddenly, it twisted with great agility and turned its head to flee to one side.

Almost at the same time, the long whip in the woman's hand shook, like a long snake thrown straight at the one-horned leopard.

The one-horned leopard moved extremely fast, but the long whip was faster, and the next moment it was already around the neck of the one-horned leopard.

The woman jumped up in the air, and with a fierce force in her hand, she heard a wail coming, and then the leopard's head flew directly away from her body, and her body was in a different place.
