The sky was cloudy and sweltering. The black clouds accumulated more and more, and finally joined together, a trend of mountain rain coming.

Linghe Mountain is because after the Linghe Master lived in seclusion, someone gave such a name. Before that, this mountain range was even more desolate than the wilderness due west, not to mention that there were no people of different races, and even the Demon Dao Sect was unwilling to gain a foothold here. Over time, it became a treasure trove of beast creatures.

Chen Yucai was at the forefront as always, although the area of the forest was not small from the clouds, but it was not until he entered the forest that Liu Zifeng found that the situation was much worse than the judgment in his mind. The thick branches of the old tree were covered with leaves as large as cattails, which almost obscured the entire sky overhead, and the light in the forest was even darker, as if it were night.

However, it didn't take long for them to leave, and troubles followed.

Rats as big as wild cats scurried around the woods, and mosquitoes, four or five times larger than usual, had a pair of red eyes and buzzed towards them. Liu Zifeng was quite calm, but a few women couldn't stand it, Zhou Yuru had already used his mental method, and the fairy sword flew up and cut a mouse into two pieces. Nangong Han's three junior sisters also looked panicked, and they resisted the fear of crushing a few finger-sized mosquitoes to death.

I don't know that this forest has existed for a long time, and it is good that a few people do not move, but as soon as this movement comes out, I see that a lot of fallen leaves on the ground begin to "roll". Several giant rats scurried from under everyone's feet like a rampant, and ran away as soon as they slipped away, scaring Zhou Yuru and the others into screaming. Unknown birds fluttered and flew up, and the forest suddenly showed a trend of chickens flying and dogs jumping.

"This forest is unusual, it has existed for at least thousands of years, everyone uses the true qi to protect the body, don't strike again, so as not to attract more insects and beasts. ”

A cyan light rose from Chen Yucai's body, isolating these insects and beasts from the outside. Everyone also used their mental methods to protect their bodies, and when they saw that these disgusting guys were just a little bigger than ordinary, and they couldn't go any further in terms of their true qi on the surface of their bodies, they calmed down a little.

The azure light on Liu Zifeng's body lit up, in fact, after most of the day, there was not a single mosquito approaching, which made him a little strange. However, in order to avoid suspicion, he still carried his mind like everyone else, and the black flame on his shoulder squeaked twice, as if he felt that this scene was extremely interesting.

After settling down, the group continued to walk deeper into the woods. Liu Zifeng looked around, and gradually found that this place was really an indescribable treasure, just the weeds buried in the thick fallen leaves, there were many medicinal herbs in them. The fortune teller had obviously discovered this a long time ago, and he kept his head down and hurried, not forgetting to rummage left and right, and after a while, he showed a happy smile, and there were already seven or eight more grass plants in his hands.

The others obviously didn't understand the medicinal herbs and couldn't tell the difference at all, and several women were even more cautious, lest a mouse come out of nowhere.

Suddenly, Liu Zifeng stopped, looked up, and saw Chen Yucai stopping, squatting on the ground and looking at something.

"Sure enough, apart from us, there are already other people who have been here first, and the target should also be Linghe Mountain. I don't know what kind of force these people are, if they are disciples of the Wufang Sect, how can there be no demon beast footprints left? It's really strange!"

Chen Yucai looked at a few footprints on the ground, his brows furrowed slightly, but he couldn't figure it out. Helplessly, he got up and pointed not far ahead, and everyone hurriedly looked.

A towering ancient tree like a thousand-year-old tree king is rooted not far ahead, and compared to it, many ancient trees around it are like paying homage to it, which is quite spectacular.

Chen Yucai looked at the sky and said to everyone: "The hour is not early, it just so happens that there is a place where we can temporarily shelter from the wind and rain, we might as well rest under the giant tree tonight, and everyone will also discuss the next action, and set off to the mountain early tomorrow morning." ”

Liu Zifeng also looked up, the black clouds were dense, and the lightning flashed wildly, seeing that this posture was mostly a good rain. Following everyone, somehow he walked side by side with Song Xitong, his eyes turned and he was suddenly surprised: "Senior sister, aren't you afraid of mosquitoes and the like?

Song Xitong walked forward, her expression did not move, she just opened her mouth and replied: "They don't bite me." ”

Liu Zifeng nodded, and after thinking about it, he secretly scolded himself for being nosy, and now he didn't know how to answer, right? But at the same time, there was also a trace of doubt in his heart, for some reason, he always felt that this silver-haired girl had a faint sense of familiarity, where did the feeling of being close and couldn't help but move in his heart came from?

While thinking about it, Liu Zifeng stood still at his feet, looking at the towering ancient tree in front of him with a surprised expression, and couldn't close his mouth for a long time, and the expressions of several other people, including Chen Yucai, were also not much better.

"Oh my God, is there really a thousand-year-old tree king in this world?"

Looking at the trunk of a tree that looked like the size of a room without the canopy, everyone was stunned for a moment. When he came back to his senses, his expression suddenly became unusual. With such a thick ancient tree, everyone doesn't have to worry about sleeping in the wild tonight.

Chen Yucai took a few steps closer, pointed to the front of the tree trunk, and said, "Those guys are really earlier than us, look at this tree hole, it is obvious that someone has gone in to rest before." ”

Liu Zifeng took a closer look, and took out a small "door" from the trunk, just enough for one person to pass through. In front of the giant tree, there are still a few traces of ashes, as if someone has started a fire here. But then again, the broad leaves of the giant tree completely obscured the sky, and the soil was not as damp as it had been in the forest before.

After rushing for a few days, everyone was tired, and several women took the lead in entering the tree hole, followed by Liu Zifeng and others. A huge space was carved out of the trunk, and it didn't feel crowded even if so many people came in. Moreover, the hollow was unusually dry, unlike the sweltering and humid they had encountered when they came.

A few people took a nap, and during this time, Chen Yucai also simply divided the work. Nangong Han and Shimen Hu went to find dry branches to make a fire, and Liu Zifeng and Fortune Fortune went around the neighborhood to see if there were any wild things, and put a few to make dinner. As for Chen Yucai, I saw him take out a few pieces of blue rune paper from his arms and explained: "I'll go around and plant these 'lightning guiding talismans', otherwise this ancient tree is so conspicuous, if it is hit by electric light, we will suffer tonight." ”

The "Thunder Guiding Talisman" is not a rare thing, and even some ordinary people in Luoxia Town will use it, and it is depicted with the most basic techniques to introduce thunder and lightning into the earth. Chen Yucai took four "Thunder Guiding Talismans", and planned to arrange one in various places in the southeast, northwest, and northwest to surround the entire ancient tree.

The women had nothing to do, so they simply cleaned up in the hollow of the tree. Seeing Nangong Han and Shimen Hu go to find dry branches, they also took action with the fortune diviner.

With Hei Yan, as soon as he patted Xiao Bai who was lying beside him, the two of them went in the direction of the woods. When Fang came from the forest, he also saw several mountain rabbits, mountain boars, pheasants and the like, which were also much larger than usual, especially when one of the mountain boars suddenly appeared, the body that was the size of an ordinary calf really frightened several people.

The two didn't go long, plus the two guys Hei Yan and Xiao Bai, it didn't take long for them to find their prey. After a short time, the two dragged a huge boar back, and the fortune diviner also carried a few pheasants in one hand, ready to barbecue.

Nangong Han and Shimen Hu came back first and lit a fire in front of the tree hole. Liu Zifeng and Fortune Fortune washed the wild boar, and after Chen Yucai came back, he also rushed over to help. In a short time, the pieces of barbecue are dressed and flipped over the campfire.

It was completely dark, so gloomy that there was not a single starlight, only a muffled thunder accompanied by electric light wandering among the clouds, making a deafening rumbling sound. This situation lasted not long before the sound of drizzling rain was heard.

At this moment, everyone is munching on it, completely lost in the barbecue craft of Liu Zifeng. Since the last time he barbecued with the third senior brother Du Qianye, Liu Zifeng secretly learned this craft, and at that time, the little senior sister Yue Zixuan was still encouraging on the side: "Come on, you will roast it for me in the future!"

Thinking of this, my heart was in a trance, what is the little senior sister doing now? Where did the third senior brother and the fourth senior brother go, and did they encounter any difficulties?

......

Liu Zifeng thought here, somewhere tens of thousands of miles away, Du Qianye, Su Li and Feng Ruoxue looked tired, and the three of them actually lived in a tree hole, but in terms of size, it was far from Liu Zifeng's.

Du Qianye's face was indifferent, his eyes were shining like cold stars, and he seemed to hesitate about something. Su Li leaned lazily to the side, and muttered, "It's really evil, how can there be so many demon beasts in this realm without a square gate?"

Feng Ruoxue glanced at him, and said softly: "It's strange what you said, Wufangmen was originally a sect dominated by imperial beasts, isn't it normal to encounter demon beasts here?"

Du Qianye shook his head when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Having said that, this time it is indeed a little strange. We rushed all the way, whether we provoked these guys or not, we were chased by these guys and fled, the ferocity and tyranny were very different from before, and something must have happened in it. ”

Su Li sat up slightly straight, glanced at Du Qianye, and said, "What does the change have to do with us, that is, this Wufangmen prides itself on the right way, and it is not allowed to hunt demon beasts, what kind of rule is this?" In my opinion, maybe all this is the ghost of Wufangmen himself." ”

Coldly, the two of them sneezed at the same time, looked up at each other, and suddenly smiled, only to hear Su Li say loudly: "It's been half a month since you left, right?" I don't know if the master is doing well, do the little junior brother and the little junior sister miss me, alas......"

Du Qianye smiled slightly, his mood seemed to be a lot more relaxed in an instant, and said: "I can feel it, it should be the little junior brother, yes, I don't know what this guy is doing, how can he suddenly think of the two of us?"

Su Li's expression was stunned, he frowned, and said with some uncertainty for a long time: "You say, the little junior brother shouldn't be barbecuing, right?"
