Chapter 8 The Dense Forest Descends to Deer Shu

Xia Zhen came to the depths of the jungle alone.

A thin morning mist flowed slowly through the forest, wrapping around each crisp spruce tree, looking like a fairy's flowing ribbon.

A breeze blows, bursts of fragrance refreshes people's hearts, colorful mountain flowers, with the tender green branches and leaves swaying with the wind, the posture is light and soft, particularly moving.

A few deer horses are leisurely nibbling on grass and flowers in the forest meadows.

They are covered in tiger-like patterns, and their thick limbs are strong and powerful. The long mane is as white as snow, bright in color, and is scattered around the neck and forehead, making it look tall and handsome.

What a good horse! It's a pity to spend all day in this deep mountain and dense forest!

Xia Hao imagined that they must be bamboo with both ears when they run, and the wind is light on their four hooves. In this way, it will not take a few days to reach Zhongqu Mountain, which is thousands of miles away.

She leapt atop the thick branches of a towering tree and carefully observed the horses she chose. Soon, a sturdy and smooth deer came into view.

Xia Hao flew lightly from among the lush branches to the back of the deer, put the reins woven with miscanthus grass around the deer shu's neck, and tightened it violently.

The deer was startled, and suddenly as if a catastrophe was coming, he jumped around in the group of deer and Shu with his head held high, running wildly. In a moment, she was thrown to the ground, but fortunately, she had light skills to protect her body, so she didn't fall too badly.

She subconsciously looked around, and it seemed that Senior Brother Wuchen did not follow, otherwise she would feel even more embarrassed. She calmed down a little, and flew to the back of the deer......

In fact, Dong Wuchen hid behind a huge mountain rock not far away, and there was a white wolf demon in this mountain, so he didn't have to worry about letting Senior Sister Zhen'er stay away from his sight again.

Seeing Xia Hao fall off the horse, his heart tightened, but he couldn't help her personally. If you can't even tame the docile Lushu, how can you face the powerful and powerful barge horse in the future?

This time, Xia Hao no longer blindly wanted to conquer Lushu, but changed to a gentle way. She leaned over gently, hugging Lu Shu's neck with one hand, caressing its mane with the other, and her cheek was close to Lu Shu's ear.

"Lushu Lushu, please help me, when I reach Zhongqu Mountain, I will return your freedom!"

As if he had understood her words, the galloping deer slowed down, and finally stopped, and continued to nibble on the grass and wild flowers beneath his feet, as if he wanted to prepare for a long journey.

Xia Zhen jumped off the horse and let it roam the grass. She used the same method to tame another deer Shu, and was about to find Senior Brother Wuchen.

He suddenly fell from the sky, his clothes were staggered, and he landed firmly on the back of the first deer Shu that Xia Hao tamed.

"Senior Sister Zhen'er, let's go!" After speaking, he rode away on Lu Shu.

Senior Brother Wuchen is really unkind, and he didn't even say thank you?

Xia Zhen stepped onto the horse and followed. This sturdy Lushu is indeed an excellent mount, running like a dragon entering the water, the hooves do not touch the ground, and only the sound of the wind is left in the ears.

......

In the evening, the two traveled to Guyao Mountain, thousands of miles away.

There is an abandoned old village at the foot of Guyao Mountain, and there is a wooden boat moored at the ferry outside the village, the hull of which rises and falls rhythmically with the spring water in April, and a red sun hangs on the top of the West Mountain, emitting a dazzling blood-colored light.

Dong Wuchen got off his horse to check, and the old house in front of him was full of ashes, probably caused by the thunder and fire caused by the battle of the demon clan.

In order to find Nuwa's descendants, the demon king Baizong often led a group of white wolf demons to sweep around, and wherever he went, there must be thunder and lightning, and the earth shook the mountains. The poor villagers were either burned to death by the thunder fires or forced to leave their homes and be displaced.

For example, today's demons are rampant, and lives are ruined. Dong Wuchen could only try his best to eradicate some white wolf pawns, and he didn't dare to face the demon king Baizong head-on, and even the master had no chance of winning against the demon king.

Moreover, now the master has a more important mission, which is to protect Xia Zhen and make her grow up safely until the spiritual power in her body is enough to defeat the demon king.

"Senior Brother Wuchen, why is there no one in this village?

Xia Zhen saw the ruined ruins in front of her, and felt sad, and the thatched houses under the Tangting Mountain were also so dilapidated.

"It's not good to stay here, let's go up the mountain as soon as possible. Dong Wuchen said, jumped on Lushu, and headed towards the peak of Guyao Mountain.

In contrast to the decline of the old village at the foot of the mountain, the mountain is densely wooded and lush. Rhododendron flowers all over the mountains compete for beauty, and the Grand Canyon is babbling with water and waterfalls.

They found an open and flat mountain cliff, backed by vigorous pines, overlooking the rolling sea of clouds, and the steep peaks and strange rocks looming in the clouds and mist not far away.

The blood-colored remnant sun slowly fell into the thick clouds, struggling for a moment, tearing a crack in the thick clouds, and in an instant, thousands of golden rays of light poured out from the cracks in the clouds. The clouds and mist were shrouded in a golden glow.

"Senior Brother Wuchen, leave tonight's meal to me, you rest here for a while, and Zhen'er will go back when she goes!" Xia Zhen didn't wait for Dong Wuchen to answer, and hurriedly ran into the vast clouds.

She wants to get rid of her dependence on Senior Brother Wuchen as soon as possible, face all difficulties and obstacles alone, let her mind be sharpened in the predicament, grow up quickly, and fulfill her unpaid wishes.

Dong Wuchen was about to light a bonfire, he was very familiar with this Guyao Mountain, and he thought that there should be no fierce beasts in this mountain, so he let her leave.

Xia Hao came to the mountain valley alone, and a river rushed from the peak, and the water crashed against the boulders that fell in the middle of the river, splashing like a mist. The mist spreads gently from the boulders to both banks, covering almost the entire surface of the river.

She squatted on the shore and watched carefully for most of the day, but she didn't see a single fish swimming by, so she inevitably felt a little lost.

What should I do? I told my brother that I would go back and bring back dinner, but I never thought that there would be no fish in this clear and transparent river?

Suddenly, in the twilight, there seemed to be a red-body beast in the green bamboo forest on the opposite bank.

Taking advantage of the fact that the senior brother was not near, Xia Zhen's sword flew across the wide river and landed in the bamboo forest.

In the meadow there was a beast with red fur foraging for food, it was a mountain paste, its body was round, its limbs were stubby, its head was relatively long, its ears were small, it stood straight, and a long, thin tail hung down behind it. Its snout protrudes forward, grabbing the dirt in the grass with ease.

This beast looks perfect for dinner! Grilled over charcoal, it's certainly as delicious as a ray fish.

Xia Zhen was overjoyed, and was about to use immortal magic to subdue the mountain ointment, but saw it like a frightened mouse, surging into the depths of the bamboo forest, the speed was like an arrow off the bow, and under the cover of the night, it disappeared almost instantly.

Xia Zhen did not give up, and continued to track with the sword, until he reached the end of the green bamboo forest, and in front of him was a hundred-foot cliff, and the waterfall under the cliff was turbulent and full of mist.

I thought that there was no way to escape from the mountain paste, but I never thought that it would jump down and jump into the deep pool under the cliff, and after a while, it emerged from the water, swam to the edge of the pool, and got into the dense forest.

"You let that beast run away, Zhen'er, you're really good!" she looked around, her eyes swept over the bushes on the edge of the cliff, and a faint light seemed to hit the bushes.

When she approached, she saw that on the strange pine of the cliff, there were many yellow vines entwined, emitting a faint yellow light, and among the branches and leaves of the vines, there were large and small globular fruits, and the skin of the fruit was full of colorful stripes of different widths and narrows.

Xia Hao took out her sword, sharpened a bunch of vines, and removed a fruit with a red pattern. After taking a small bite, it was surprisingly crisp and sweet.

The beast that was surrounded by fire escaped, but unexpectedly harvested this colorful fruit!

Xia Zhen ate the red-veined Danguo, pocketed all the remaining colored fruits, and returned to the cliff to find winter dust.

Seeing that Xia Zhen had not returned, Dong Wuchen stood on the edge of the cliff and looked at it with some anxiety.

Xia Zhen suddenly came with the sword, and landed in front of Senior Brother Wuchen as light as snow. She looked coquettish, her face flushed slightly, and she had a rare sweet smile, and her voice was soft and tactful.

"Senior Brother Wuchen, are you waiting for me......"
