Chapter 62: The Fog

For Sun Heng, Shen Shi's feelings were a little complicated, in the earliest days, because of his relationship with Sun You, of course he did not hesitate to stand on Sun You's side. On the one hand, he is a friend who has been close to him for many years, and on the other hand, he is almost a complete stranger and at most a child of a family who nodded his head on Qingyu Island back then, and how to choose is not a problem for him at all.

Even later, because Sun You was working hard for his own future, and when he fought openly and secretly with the head of the Sun family, including Sun Heng, for the seat of the closed disciple under the crucial Elder Sun Mingyang, Shen Shi also helped Sun You with a clear banner, including coming up with the most important strategy for Sun You at a critical time, using Sun Heng's self-careful shadow to defeat Sun Heng in one fell swoop at the critical moment of the Lingxiao Sect's elder examination, and since then the situation has been reversed.

Since then, Sun You has naturally soared into the sky, turning around to become the first person of the hot young generation in the Sun family, and at the same time, he was officially included in the Sun family's ancestor Elder Sun Mingyang as a disciple, and obtained the qualification to directly enter the Wentian Secret Realm to find opportunities. In contrast, Sun Heng's experience is more miserable, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is down, from the position of the grandson of the Sun family, he fell into the sky in an instant, and the psychological gap can be imagined, and even on the Jinhong Mountain of Lingxiao Sect during that time, many people saw his downcast and lost figure.

Of course, Shen Shi also saw what he looked like at that time, but because of the stark opposition of his positions, he didn't have much feeling for this former noble son, and when he encountered setbacks, he looked like a dead corpse.

It's just that the subsequent development gradually surprised everyone, Sun Heng, who was already lost and was about to fall completely, for some reason, actually cheered up again, even if many people around him were snobbish and laughed at him coldly, he still got up little by little and started again.

Without the aura of his former dignity, he lowered his head and behaved in a low-key manner, and without the qualifications to directly enter the Wentian Secret Realm, he silently participated in the selection and examination of ordinary disciples in the Hundred Mountains Realm, and in the end, he actually grabbed a place.

Recalling the changes of Sun Heng who had been watching from the sidelines for a while, Shen Shi also sighed a little, thinking that everyone is not simple, maybe under the daily appearance, there is another unknown side. Just thinking about it carefully, Shen Shi inexplicably remembered another person - He Xiaomei.

It was a young woman who was quite familiar with him, at least much more familiar with him than Sun Heng. Looking back now, Sun Heng's series of changes seem to have happened after meeting He Xiaomei, to be exact, after Jiang Hongguang and He Xiaomei had a dispute in the past, and jealously asked He Xiaomei why he didn't return all night, things slowly changed.

There were too many things before, and these things were none of his business, Shen Shi saw some traces of clues and didn't think about it carefully, but at this rare time to rest, he thought of Sun Heng who he had saved in front of him, and he couldn't help but think about it again.

Between the two of them, could it really be that something happened?

Shen Shi thought for a while, shook his head slightly, and thought that this matter still had nothing to do with him, so don't meddle with it. At this moment, not only did he have several bags of precious dragon meat on his body, but he also got the complete Immortal Killing Ancient Sword and the ancient scroll of "Yin and Yang Mantra and Yang Mantra" from that child with a mysterious origin, and Shen Shi was already extremely satisfied with this by chance, and even far exceeded his own best expectations.

What he wanted to do most now was to find a secluded and secluded place to hide and survive the last few days, so as not to be found by others to avoid any accidents. As long as you get out of this Wentian Secret Realm and go outside the Hongmeng world, it will naturally be a world with rules, and with the big tree of Lingxiao Sect to lean on, you will no longer be afraid of anything.

As for Sun Heng...... Let's hope he didn't have any accidents.

Shen Shi turned around and walked in the direction away from the canyon area, and at the same time thought of his other friends, Zhong Qinglu, Zhong Qingzhu and Sun You, including Gan Ze, who had the highest prestige and the most noble family background, but he didn't know how they had been doing in the Asking Heaven Secret Realm these days, and whether they had found some opportunities for themselves?

※※※

The Dragon Wilderness is vast, almost endless, and while most of the places are desolate, it must not be too difficult to find some hidden places to hide.

After Shen Shi made up his mind, he walked towards the depths of the other direction of the Dragon Wilderness, occasionally sacrificing the Falling Snow Sword and flying into the air to observe the surrounding situation, after all, he was now with a heavy treasure, and there were only a few days left before leaving this Wentian Secret Realm, no matter how careful he was.

After traveling faster or slower for a day, Shen Shi was a little embarrassed to find that in the direction he chose, most of the places he passed along the way were endless, very flat and desolate wilderness terrain, with no hills and no canyons, and he really didn't find any suitable hiding places.

This made him scratch his head a little, thinking if he wanted to turn around, if he really wanted to say the hiding place, there was no doubt that the canyon area he had passed through before was the most suitable place, first, the area was huge, and secondly, various canyons and deep pits crisscrossed the terrain, and the terrain was extremely complex, so it was difficult to find a corner to hide, or even to directly open a cave on a rock wall somewhere to hide when he rescued Sun Heng that day.

And now walking on this flat and unsheltered wilderness, you can really see yourself by just a casual person who looks at it.

It's just that after thinking about it carefully, Shen Shi finally gave up the idea of turning around, there is still a waste of time to go back and forth, not to mention, in that canyon area, when he was still exploring there a few days ago, there were many disciples who were also from the Four Righteous Sects, and no one could say whether he would meet these people again if he went back.

Compared to some unknown dangers and demon beasts in the Dragon Wilderness, Shen Shi felt that it was more dangerous to be afraid of those monks who were also human races. Thinking about the current situation, maybe it was a little similar to the time when the Hundred Mountains Realm trial reached the final stage that day, seeing that the time to leave was approaching, then some disciples who were unlucky and empty-handed might shift their targets to the same kind of people.

Chance, whether it is found by oneself or maliciously robbed, as long as it is in this secret realm of Wentian isolated from inside and outside, who will know?

So Shen Shi finally continued to move forward.

And so another day passed, and at noon on this day, he still did not find any hiding place along the way, and as far as the eye could see, it was still a flat wilderness. The scorching sun hung high in the sky and exposed the earth, which made Shen Shi's heart a little irritable, but in the past two days, except for the occasional encounter with a few small demon beasts that are not very powerful, he has not seen any human cultivators, but it can be regarded as okay.

Maybe it's so desolate and withered in this direction, and not many people come here.

Calming down, Shen Shi glanced at Xiao Hei who was following him, only to see that this little pig looked very energetic, and the hot weather seemed to be indifferent to it at all, thinking about it carefully, it seemed that after coming out of that crater, this little black pig seemed to be more and more adapted to the surrounding environment.

Shen Shi retracted his gaze and pondered for a moment, then stretched out his hand and sacrificed the Falling Snow Sword, then picked up Xiao Hei and flew into the sky, ready to take another look at the surrounding situation, he had seen it at least four or five times in the day, but each time he saw almost the same thing.

So this time Shen Shi didn't have much hope, but it was just out of careful habits, and even in his heart, he was already thinking that if he really didn't meet a monk of the same kind, then it seemed acceptable to walk slowly in this desolate wilderness for a few days before going out.

Only this time, after flying in mid-air and then flying forward for a short while, Shen Shi suddenly paused, but stopped in mid-air, and at the same time showed a trace of stunned on his face, his gaze condensed, and he looked somewhere ahead.

The wilderness scene, which had been unchanged and boring for days, had changed at this time.

About ten miles ahead, the originally flat wilderness terrain suddenly began to sink, at first glance Shen Shi almost thought that it was that strange canyon terrain again, but after flying a little closer, Shen Shi found that something was wrong.

Although the terrain in front of us was a little subsidence, the descent was very low and shallow, and from the distance of about a few miles on both sides, it was concave inward from both sides at the same time, and the deepest part was actually only a few feet, and it looked more like a shallow shoal than a canyon.

Shen Shi looked down and around in the air for a while, and after making sure that there was indeed no trace of anyone in the vicinity, he slowly fell, and after looking carefully for a while, Shen Shi found that there seemed to be more large and small stones in this terrain than other places, and the shape was mostly round, thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be like a riverbed that had dried up?

In this desolate and dry dragon wilderness, was there actually a big river that was not small? Shen Shi was also a little surprised in his heart, and turned his head to look around, but for a while he couldn't tell which direction of this disappeared river was upstream and downstream.

Still, the presence of this dry riverbed adds a bit of life to this boring wilderness, even though it is not really lifeless in itself. Since there was still no one around, Shen Shi simply walked along the riverbed.

As he walked, Shen Shi suddenly discovered a somewhat strange thing, that is, within the scope of this dry riverbed, there were countless stones of all sizes, but in this land, there were not those withered yellow weeds with extremely tenacious vitality growing in the cracks of the stones in some corners of the dragon wilderness like other places in the dragon wilderness.

The entire riverbed is made of stones, but other than that it seems to be clean and there is not a single weed. This is naturally a little strange, Shen Shi was also a little wary at first, but neither he nor Xiao Hei found any abnormalities in this area other than that, it seems that the natural weeds do not grow on this riverbed.

After walking like this for another half a day, walking in the riverbed in the direction of not knowing whether it was upstream or downstream, and when he saw the sun sinking westward, Shen Shi suddenly froze and frowned.

In front of him, in the distance of the wide riverbed, there was a thick gray fog, which suddenly appeared there somewhat abruptly, covering a radius of more than ten miles.
