Chapter 119: Itinerary
Most of the land in southern Xinjiang is rainforest swamps, and among the 100,000 mountains, few people have set foot on the track.
Most of the people living in southern Xinjiang live in the marginal areas, and in addition to hunting and collecting medicine, only people in southern Xinjiang will go to the mountains.
However, that is only limited to the edge areas of the mountains, and people in southern Xinjiang generally do not take the initiative to enter the mountains, let alone go deeper.
In the belief of the people of southern Xinjiang, the 100,000 mountains are the habitat of the mountain gods, and they are not allowed to be disturbed.
If anyone dares to trespass into the territory of Lord Sangami, they will be punished!
For thousands of years, it is precisely because the people of southern Xinjiang have always had an incomparable sense of awe for the 100,000 mountains that they have been able to thrive in this land of southern Xinjiang to this day.
However, this calm and harmonious situation was broken, and the news of the birth of the divine beast Qilin attracted many cultivators from this continent to flock to it.
They all have the same purpose, that is, to subdue the divine beast, or to get what they want from it.
As a result, this peaceful and harmonious place was upset by the arrival of these people.
Everyone in southern Xinjiang prayed in their hearts, praying that the mountain god would not be angry and would not be punished.
They hated these outsiders, but they were powerless to change anything. Because these people are cultivators, they are the characters who call for wind and rain in this continent.
Compared with these weak ordinary people in southern Xinjiang, they are the masters and control the fate of this continent.
What can the people of southern Xinjiang change? They cannot resist fate, but can only pray to the gods to forgive their sins.
......
There had already been a wave of scattered cultivators who had taken the lead in entering the mountain, but after a long time, no one had received any news about them.
They seemed to flow into the sea like mud, without causing a wave.
Even so, it can't stop these people from moving forward.
In the face of desire, people have long abandoned everything.
......
"Zhang Zhenren, should I go in now?"
The righteous path and the group stopped at the entrance of the mountain, but Zifeng of Qingfeng Valley was the first to ask.
Along the way, they still didn't find any shadow of the person in the demon path, and even this Zifeng Zhenren felt very strange.
But this trip has the task assigned by the sect, but he has no intention of taking care of anything else. Yes, this Zifeng real person has this question.
"The people in the demon path have always been insidious and cunning, we have to guard against it, but this trip is a major task and urgent, I should go in early, be careful in everything!"
Zhang Yuanchao nodded, faintly with a sense of leading the decision.
Since two years ago, the news of the return of the Sword Immortal Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect has spread, and the status of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect in the righteous path has risen again.
Because of this, the weight of this one, which far exceeds the weight of the team on this trip, has also risen a lot, and there is a faint taste of leading the team to give orders.
"Amitabha, Zhang Zhenren is reasonable, we must indeed be cautious, and we must not underestimate the enemy again!"
Fa Zhao clasped his hands together and recited the Buddha's name, and I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional to remind everyone.
Listening to his words, everyone remembered the experience two years ago, and also remembered the former teenager.
It's just that the past is like a cloud, everything in the past has long been wrong, who still misses the young man who was willing to sacrifice himself in exchange for everyone's lives?
He is now a man of the devil's path, an enemy!
Grievances are as simple as that, it's just because of the difference in location, and grace can become grievances......
The atmosphere fell silent, and everyone finally stopped hesitating, stepped in, and officially entered this deep mountain.
No one can know the exact location of the beast, and only by going deeper can we find clues.
However, going into a strange world without permission is accompanied by an unknown danger.
In less than a moment, not long after everyone walked into the deep mountains, they encountered all kinds of poisonous insects and poisons along the way.
These poisonous insects all have a common trait, that is, they like to eat human blood. No matter how high your cultivation is, as soon as you are bitten by them, the wound will immediately become red and swollen and very uncomfortable.
These poisonous insects are even more difficult to prevent due to the cover of tree branches and leaves.
There are so many of them that if one bites you, the other poisonous insects will follow you with the scent, always waiting for an opportunity.
As a result, those who have been bitten by poisonous insects will be constantly infested by other poisonous insects.
There are a few disciples with lower cultivation levels, and none of their exposed skin is intact for a long time.
There are even a few female disciples who are still crying.
The sound of "poof" came, which immediately made everyone's nerves tense.
Everyone looked for prestige, only to see that there were two men, one woman and three disciples in the team in the rear, but they fell to the ground, and it seemed that they had been bitten too much by those poisonous insects, and the poisoning was too deep.
"Check it out!"
Zhang Yuanchao waved his hand and motioned for everyone to stop.
A disciple took out the antidote pill from his bosom and wanted to go over to help.
However, at this moment, I only heard a creepy sound of "trembling" in the dense forest.
"Come back soon!"
The Jade Spinning Fairy snorted and hurriedly reminded.
Before the disciple who delivered the medicine could react, he saw a dense pile of insects suddenly crawling out around the place where the three disciples had fallen.
The bugs were the size of thumbs, of all shapes, and of too many to count.
As soon as they came out, they swarmed towards the bodies of the three disciples lying on the ground.
In a moment, the three disciples who were still breathing were instantly overwhelmed by these insects......
There was also a faint sound of gnawing flesh and blood in "Xi Xi Suosuo", which made people's scalp tingle when they heard it......
The three bodies on the ground wailed a few times, writhed violently a few times, and then did not move again......
In the blink of an eye, the three bodies that were originally flesh and blood completely turned into three skeletons of Bai Sensen......
However, all this is only a matter of moments......
"Ahh
When the disciple who delivered the medicine was stunned to see such a terrifying scene, he reacted.
And at this time, he was already trembling with fright and screaming in horror.
His voice immediately alarmed those insects, and I saw that those insects that had no flesh and blood to gnaw on, instantly surrounded the disciple who was delivering medicine, and this disciple had long forgotten to escape.
At the last moment, Lu Yu made a move, only to see her pinch the magic trick, and a cold ice true qi quickly shot out, shooting towards those insects at great speed.
The insects that crawled at the front were immediately frozen, and the rest of them scattered and fled, but they did not flee far, but quietly hibernated, waiting for the opportunity.
"Thank you, Fairy Yuxuan!"
Zhang Yuanchao smiled at Lu Yuxuan.
"Humph!"
For this person, Lu Yuxuan doesn't have a good face. If it weren't for the fact that everyone was a righteous path alliance, she would have taught her a lesson a long time ago.
Zhang Yuanchao was bored, and he didn't seem to be angry, but just said to the rest of the people:
"Everyone uses the exercises, those evil insects naturally don't dare to intrude, I'll wait to speed up and pass through this jungle first!"
In fact, everyone could have escaped with the sword, but firstly, the goal was too obvious, and secondly, it was also unfavorable to the search for clues of the divine beast, so they had to walk on foot.
Fortunately, Zhang Yuanchao and them did not fly in the sky, because in the same jungle not far from them, several scattered cultivators who were flying with magic weapons fell from their magic weapons one after another, and their heart-rending screams were heard from afar.
The faces of the righteous path and his party turned pale for a while, and they didn't dare to stay any longer, so they sped up one after another.
Two days later, after losing a few more elite disciples, the righteous path and his party finally crossed the jungle and came to a swampy land.
It rains seven or eight out of ten days in southern Xinjiang in a year, and such a cold and humid climate is very easy to form swamps.
However, the flowers and trees here are extremely prosperous, and under their cover, it is natural to turn this place into a place full of dangers.
You never know what you're stepping on, and maybe the next moment you take the wrong step, and you'll be sucked under the bottomless swamp, never to see the sky, and die of pain.
"Ah!", but a few disciples accidentally stepped on the air and fell into the mud.
"Help me!"
The disciples who were trapped in the mud struggled desperately, but they found that they were getting deeper and deeper, and they were terrified and frightened, so they shouted for help.
"Stop!"
Zhang Yuanchao gave an order, and hurriedly signaled a few disciples to go to the rescue.
"Amitabha, there are many crises here, Zhang Zhenren, is it safer for me to fly in the sky?"
Among the disciples who just got stuck in the mud was the monk of Fanjing Mountain, so Fa Zhao said so.
After seeing that there were two disciples who were never able to get out of trouble, and finally couldn't escape the end of being ruthlessly devoured by the swamp, Zhang Yuanchao decisively agreed with Fazhao's opinion.
"Everyone be vigilant, we are just not familiar with the environment here, as long as we are careful, there will definitely be no more accidents!"
Seeing that the morale was a little low, Zhang Yuanchao encouraged him in a timely manner.
He sacrificed his magic sword, took the initiative to jump in front of everyone, and took the lead in opening the way for everyone.
I have to say that this Zhang Yuanchao can indeed be regarded as a qualified team leader, and after a while, under his leadership, everyone's morale immediately recovered a little.
The haze of the joint defeat has also been swept away a lot, and everyone silently followed behind him, although they didn't say a word, but their emotions were quite stable.
Due to the overabundance of trees, people had to fly low, which led to more caution.
It took them a quarter of an hour to finally pass through the dense area, and in front of them was a large muddy field without any vegetation.
And here, it is the real center of the swamp......
