Chapter 33: Knife Back Mountain II

The night sky is blue, and the dark light between the branches and leaves on the top of this forest looks mysterious and profound, which forms a great contrast with the mania of the wind and sand behind us. Standing at the edge of the forest www.biquge.info you can see the blue and shiny night sky, and you can't see any vague and hazy sand and dust floating over. It's like dust like angry waves, and it doesn't want to cross this forest in the slightest.

I removed the face towel that was hanging on my face, this was already the third cloth towel sent to me by the disciples of the Kunlun Sect, because of the miasma contamination, the clear flower dew on the cloth towel had lost its medicinal effect, and the whole cloth towel was greasy.

I took off the water bag from my waist and washed my face briefly, I took a few sips of water, handed the water belt to Su Qingyao, and said, "Senior Su, pour some water and wipe it." ”

Just came out of the windy sand, each of us was disgraced, Su Qingyao's face was a little sallow, and he was grabbing the sand grains in his hair. He took the water bag I handed over and took a big sip, wiped his face with his sleeve and said, "The sand particles will fall off when you pat it, the water here can't be drunk, save some water to drink." The wind and sand are blowing bigger and bigger every time, and this time there are so many dragons absorbing water. ”

I was a little strange and said, "Could it be that when my predecessors came here the first two times, the dust storm here blew small?"

Su Qingyao nodded and said, "Yes." As he spoke, he turned his head to look out of the forest, at this time, dozens of black wind pillars outside the forest were moving to the east, and there were many dragons in the west absorbing water that were slowly drifting towards the east, and the windy sand like waves almost covered the entire sky outside the forest. He added: "The first time I came, there were only four or five dragons here that were swept up by the wind and sand, but the second time it tripled, and now it seems that it has increased more than ten times. If it continues to deteriorate like this, I'm afraid that in a few years, I won't be able to get in again, alas. ”

There was a lot of regret in his words, and he poured a large mouthful of water into his mouth with a water bag, and then handed over the water belt, I took the water belt and tied it around my waist, and looked into the distance, but I saw Cheng Fuhai and Huoxin Daoren, their faces were a little ugly looking at the wind and sand outside the forest, it seemed that they were also thinking about the wind and sand becoming worse. Han Xiao on the side walked over and said, "Wouldn't it be better if we can't get in, we can't get in, and the people of the Demon Sect don't want to come in, I don't want to come to this kind of ghost place for a second time, it's better to stay in the Central Plains and be more stable." ”

He certainly wasn't referring to the Swamp of Death. The environment in the Western Regions is very bad, we have come all the way, most of the people have almost become a little unkempt after nearly a month, the weather is sometimes cold and sometimes hot, Han Xiao and they have already complained in their hearts, but they don't dare to say anything in front of Cheng Fuhai. In fact, not only Han Xiao and the others are dissatisfied, I also want to leave the Western Regions as soon as possible and return to Chenzhou City, it has not been long since the insect plague in Chenzhou City has passed, and I don't know what the situation is in the dart game now. It's just a cold dream......

I sighed to myself. The Central Plains and Cheng Fuhai hoped that I could cooperate in refining the antidote to the poison, and although I agreed on the surface, I followed them here. But I knew in my heart that I had been able to follow them all the way to this place more because of her. In this way, I naturally can't tell others, the two realms of righteousness and demons are incompatible, and the fact that Tianyi Chang and Cheng Fuhai exonerated He Yanqiu for me has already aroused the displeasure of most of the leaders, and the reason why they didn't make it clear was also for the sake of the two of them. If they knew that I was thinking like this in my heart, I really didn't know how I should face Cheng Fuhai and Tianyichang, and the two of them would also lose face in front of the other heads of the rivers and lakes. Let's hope she doesn't show up here.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, I always wanted to see her again, but I didn't want her to appear when I came here. The Fire Heart Daoist said that the people from the Vermilion Bird Altar had already appeared in Shacheng, but we didn't notice any signs of demon sect activities in Shacheng, and we didn't know if the people from the Demon Sect would come to the Shenlong Cave this time. If she really comes, I'm afraid that there will be a battle between the two factions this time, and if she really comes, what should I do then? If I sit idly by, I will never be able to do it, but if I make a move, I am afraid that I will have no shame to face the master again in this life.

I shook my head, my mind was a mess, I didn't want to think about it, but I had to think about it.

In the distance, Cheng Fuhai and Bazhong Zhongyuan didn't know what they were talking about, and the two of them hugged their fists towards the Kunlun Five Sages and the head of the Emei faction, Miao Jisong and others, and then walked towards us, along with the people from the Xuantie Gate.

As soon as we approached, Cheng Fuhai beckoned to us and said, "Tidy up the carriage, let's set off." ”

Han Xiao hugged Cheng Fuhai with a fist, turned around and shouted, "Load the car." ”

The three eyes were still resting on the side of the carriage, and immediately got up when they heard the words, and a group of people untied the thick hemp rope on the carriage with all hands and feet.

After the three eyes of the three eyes tied the large wooden box on the carriage firmly, we and the people of the Xuantie Gate said goodbye to the group of Fire Heart Dao people and took the lead towards the forest.

Devil's Head Grass grows in a place called Knife Back Mountain on the west side of the Death Swamp, and the Shenlong Cave is located in the center of the Death Swamp, separated by miles between the two places. According to the agreement between Cheng Fuhai and the Huoxin Dao people, we will go to pick the ghost head grass when we enter the death swamp, and the people from the Kunlun faction, the Emei faction, and the Daming Sect will rush to meet with the Tianyi Chang and Master Benming, and we will go to the Shenlong Cave after picking the ghost head grass.

When I walked on the thick dead leaves on the ground, I really felt the antiquity of this forest, and it was hard to imagine that there was such a large old forest in this endless desert. The trees here are extremely vigorous and tall, and each tree is very separated from each other, and the roots under the trees are almost all horizontal outside the earth, spreading out in a large circle. There are 100 people from Xuantiemen this time, Ma Qianli and Cai Yueru are all there, counting our 20 people, there are more than 140 people in a group, which can be regarded as a small team. But our group of people walked in this forest and looked very small, because the trees were so tall. If these trunks were hollowed out, it would not be a problem to squeeze in a dozen people.

The forest was somewhat foggy, and from the repeated glow of the night sky could be seen the thin, floating miasma, which was still rancid, but not as pungent as the hastiness we had encountered. Su Qingyao told me that these miasma was born from this forest, and it could only last three days of refreshment when it was blown away by the wind and sand. After three days, the wind and sand outside the forest will be gone, and the miasma will accumulate again, and we must leave the place.

I was in no mood to listen to him as he kept talking, whether it was the miasma that grew here or the windy sand outside, it was a strange phenomenon peculiar to the swamp of death. Right now, I'm most concerned about picking the Devil's Head Grass as soon as possible, and I hope that Dream Hanyan won't appear in the Death Swamp this time.

The forest was so big that we walked in it for a long time and we didn't get out of it, and the ground was getting wetter and hotter.

After walking another half mile, we came to an open area. At this time, our team suddenly stopped, only to hear someone in front of us say: "The master of the door has an order, do not move forward for the time being, and rest here." ”

That's a disciple of the Xuantie Gate. I looked up, and although it was an open area, the sky above me was still obscured by dense foliage, and I could see the bright sky through the gaps in the foliage, and I thought there was not much time left until dawn. After a night's journey, through miasma and windy sand, everyone was already a little tired.

The ground here was already damp and filled with the smell of rotting leaves, so Han Xiao and the others found a big tree and sat on the root of the tree that was exposed to the ground.

Taking off the thick animal skin cloak on my body, I sat at the back of the carriage, feeling a little refreshed. The environment here is really strange, it is winter, but it is very hot here, and now in the forest, I already have some sweat behind my back, and I have to take off my animal skin cloak.

Han Xiao stretched out his legs and sat on the root of the tree, raised his head and drank a few sips of water, and said, "Mr. Su, where have we been, and how far is it from that Daobei Mountain?"

Su Qingyao looked around and said, "It's not far away, the woods here are already a little loose, at most, you can walk a few miles further to get out of this forest." ”

I said, "Has Senior Su also been to Daobei Mountain in the past?"

Su Qingyao said: "No, I have watched from afar but have never been close to Daobei Mountain." He paused and said with a smile: "What is there to go there, except for the devil's head grass on the mountain, which can be of great use, the whole mountain is a barren mountain, and it is difficult for people to climb it." ”

Han Xiao quipped: "Now it is a barren mountain, and it may have been a place for the Demon Sect gangsters to play in the past, or a place for the Demon Sect's gold and silver treasures to be stored. ”

In the battle between the two wolf mountains, the Iron Palm Gang seized a lot of gold and silver treasures of the Demon Sect, but now no one knows where that batch of gold and silver went. Han Xiao said that the people of the Demon Sect were gangsters, Su Qingyao and they all laughed, now that the Divine Dragon Cave has been reduced to a swamp of death, the prestige of the Demon Sect is not as good as it was back then, Han Xiao's words are full of sarcasm.

This is similar to sarcastic demon sect words, Han Xiao and they often come out with such a sentence from time to time, I have also heard a lot of such broken words in the past few days with the Kunlun faction and the Emei faction, and I am even a little numb when I hear it now.

They were chatting heartily, and I was bored, jumping out of the carriage and about to walk around, when suddenly I heard a sound of "boom" coming from above us. The next moment, with a "duh", a yellow thorn with the length of a small arm was nailed to the wooden box on the carriage behind me.

The yellow thorn of thorns was a strange one, stained with viscous liquid, like an arrow, but more like a hair magnified many times over, slightly curved, and shot down from the top of our heads with great speed, and the wooden box made of ironwood from the far north was also punched out of it. Taken aback, I reached out and pulled out the Shadow Chasing Sword from my back, looking up at the Shadow Chasing Sword, which circled around the side of my body.

"What people!"

Su Qingyao snorted coldly, and Han Xiao and the others all jumped up and showed the big knife on their waists.

This situation suddenly appeared on our side, and the Xuantie Gate also saw it, and gathered towards us without saying anything. The disciples of the Xuantie Gate were all dressed in brown suits, and the weapons in their hands were all scimitars.

Cheng Fuhai's eyes swept over to the top of the woods for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Since Your Excellency is here, why do you want to hide your head and show your tail? ”

Our carriage was parked under a huge tree, and the land was very empty, thirty feet in circumference, except for one huge tree on our side, and five other giant trees were erected here. Five trees have covered the sky here.

When we looked up, we could see only sporadic fragments of light, and then the broad leaves and the bent branches. After waiting for a while, the place was a little quiet, where did anyone respond to us?

Seeing that no one answered, Cheng Fuhai suddenly smiled and said, "Do you really think that the old man doesn't know where you are hiding?"

I squinted and swept around the dense branches above my head, but there was nothing but vine branches and leaves, and there was no human figure in the distance. The giant trees here are so tall and leafy that it's easy to hide in them from anyone discovers. Could it be that Cheng Fuhai has already discovered the person who threw the secret weapon at us? Just thinking like this, suddenly, another sound of breaking the sky shot down from the dense forest above our heads, and a yellow thorn went straight to the top of Cheng Fuhai's head.

It's just that this thorn has not yet flown to the top of Cheng Fuhai's head, Jiang Shun beside him has already made a move, and with a move of his right hand, a golden flower dart quickly got out of his hand, and the flower dart dragged a long golden light tail, and it collided with the thorn in an instant.

But I heard a sound of "zi", and the extremely thin thorn was actually cut in half by Jiang Shun's dart, and the thorn castration suddenly decreased, like two firewood falling from mid-air. However, Jiang Shun's golden dart did not have the slightest speed, and the golden mangs flashed and rushed into the dense branches and leaves more than twenty zhang high above our heads.

The golden dart was like a forest, and only a "poof" sound could be heard in the distance, and the branch above our heads shook several times, and three half-human body sized leaves fell. Immediately after, a snake screaming sound came from above us.

"Hiss~~~"

We were all stunned and stayed where we were. This is definitely not a human sound, not even a human gasp.

Just as we were surprised, suddenly, a disciple in the Xuantie Gate suddenly screamed, and then the other person suddenly rose up into the air, and a pitch-black sharp rattan came out of his chest, and the rattan seemed to have a spirituality, and kept circling around him, wrapping around him and pulling it straight to the dense leaf above our heads.
