Volume 2 The Ancient Sword Chapter 10 Footprints

Under the traction of this current force, everyone slowly landed in a fixed area, seemingly not far apart, but after landing, they would be ten feet away from each other. Therefore, the more than 10,000 people in the third group are scattered on this nameless area like beans.

When Yue Chen and the others came here, the two groups of people who came in front of them had disappeared without any figures or traces, as if they had disappeared out of thin air. And the people who came with Yue Chen, after being stranded for a while, suddenly rushed forward with a shout as if they were enchanted. It's as if there are countless treasures in front of you waiting for people to take and grab.

When Yue Chen was puzzled, Nangong Lang and the other three rushed over.

Dongmen Yu hurriedly said, "Big brother, we have to hurry up too." Didn't you notice that these people are like crazy?" After hearing this, Yue Chen just shook his head slightly and glanced at Nangong Lang next to him.

Nangong Lang said: "This is not the Red Forest Region, and then a hundred zhang forward, it will be the extended area of the Red Forest Region." From there, incomparably powerful monsters will appear at any time. ”

"Okay, let's go too!" Yue Chen commanded, taking the lead in flying forward, and thought to himself: "What do those flashing words represent? The number 'eighteen' should not appear on the number of formations, spells, and the like. And what secrets are hidden behind those seemingly ordinary and incomprehensible words? Does it have anything to do with that glimmer of heaven?"

Among the four, Nangong Lang seemed to be very nervous, while Rain and Snow were curious and kept looking at the area under their feet. At this moment, facing such a region, Yue Chen unconsciously recalled the mysterious experience of the sect. At the beginning, I came back alive and brought back a lot of treasures. But is everyone else really dead? And the only living person he saw, which one is called the same disciple of Fushou, and what is his identity?

Suddenly, Nangong Lang roared lightly, quickly fell to the ground diagonally, and walked towards a bush. The rain and snow were close and fell to the ground. Yue Chen hesitated for a moment in the air before landing.

Dongmen Yu said: "Dead man!"

"It dares to appear fifty miles away from the Red Forest Region, could it be that an even more powerful demon beast has appeared in the Red Forest Region?" Nangong Lang muttered to himself, and began to lean over to check the corpse of the outer disciple who was still hot, shaking his head uncontrollably, and said nervously: "It's really it!"

Yue Chen also followed Nangong Lang's inspection and found that this outer disciple had no scars all over his body, only a red spot like a needle tip at the center of his eyebrows, and his blood coagulated into beads the size of a needle's tail. It's like when the tip of the needle just leaves, the blood brought out instantly coagulates and forms.

Ximen Xue asked, "Xiaolang, who is it?"

"Nine Hidden Raccoons!" Nangong Lang said, "This demon beast is ruthless and domineering, and specializes in sucking the brain marrow of living creatures. As he spoke, he glanced at Yue Chen and said, "I'm afraid we won't be able to deal with it!"

"It's okay! if you can't deal with it, you have to deal with it!" Yue Chen smiled slightly, motioned for the three of them to stand behind him, and asked, "Xiao Lang, is it this demon beast that the sect wants to capture?"

The three of them stood behind Yue Chen, and Nangong Langcai said, "No! what they want to capture is the Nine-Pupiled Giant Feathered Snake!"

"Ahh This demon beast, with a tanuki head and monkey body, phoenix eyes and leopard claws, is blood-red, as if it has just rolled out of the blood river, and as if it has just been skinned. His eyes glowed red, and the rest of his body was gloomy. With each movement, nine phantoms are conjured up, which shake together, making it impossible to distinguish between the real and the fake.

When the Nine Hidden Fox walked to a distance of more than seven zhang from Yue Chen, he stopped and stared closely ahead. At first glance, the Nine Hidden Raccoon looks like a sleep-deprived person, with tiredness in his eyes from time to time. Inadvertently, the body will also tremble slightly, and it seems a little powerless.

Yue Chen judged from his powerful aura that this demon beast should be a fifth-order peak demon beast, and said in his heart: "If you fight with all your might, maybe there will be a chance to win!"

"Run!"

"Don't move! whoever moves first dies first!"

"Don't make any noise! I'll talk about it first!" Yue Chen commanded, "When I entangle it, you can see the situation again, or run away or attack." Remember, don't mess with yourself. With that, he leaned over and picked up a rock and threw it not far to the side.

I saw a red mang, as thin as silk, lit up, rushed straight to the stone, passed through the center of the stone without stopping, and then rolled and bent, the stone suddenly turned into powder, and the red mangs quickly disappeared.

With such a strange speed, Yue Chen was not sure of victory. Yue Chen took out a few talismans from his hand, and first played a talisman of the first-order spell torrent technique. I also saw that the red light directly penetrated the ripples of the circle, turning its power into invisible.

After Yue Chen was stunned for a moment, he took out a piece of green rune paper, which was the talisman of the second-order spell Thunder Dragon Cirnarus Technique, and it was also one of the few spells with the strongest attack power in Yue Chen. In an instant, a purple lightning bolt rang out, striking the Nine Hidden Raccoon with the momentum of a thundercloud. Almost at the same time, a second silent talisman also followed, striking at the head of the Nine Hidden Raccoon with precision.

It's late, it's fast. The Nine Hidden Raccoon used his powerful Dao to defuse the first talisman attack, but it was too late to defuse the second talisman attack. And the second talisman that Yue Chen played was the Heavenly Remnant Golden Barrier Technique, which was a wonderful technique specially used to restrain the evil things.

I saw pieces of golden crumbs sticking to the head of the demon beast, slowly spreading out, and the skin of the demon beast made a "zizi" sound. The blood-red skull began to melt and burn. The Nine Hidden Fox roared angrily, raised its claws and tore off half of its face, roared, and turned around and ran towards the woods.

"Wouldn't this be the talisman that the old man talked about?" Ximen Xue asked cautiously towards Dongmen Yu, "Brother Yu, do you remember?"

"Of course I remember!" Dongmen Yu approached, pouted and said, "Big brother, you have to teach the three of us this!"

"No! This is a transmission from the master, and it must not be leaked!" Then, he asked, "Xiao Lang, what should we do now?"

"Follow the Nine Hidden Raccoons!" Nangong Lang said resolutely, "Although this demon beast has injured its head, it has not been damaged in the slightest. Now, it's just that it's just startled, and although it's also dangerous, it can also avoid the attack of demon beasts that are similar to its Dao cultivation. ”

"That makes sense!" Yue Chen said affirmatively, "Xiaoyu and Xiaoxue, you two should be more focused." With that, led by Nangong Lang, the four of them chased closely in the direction where the Nine Hidden Raccoon had disappeared.

Because the Nine Hidden Raccoon took the method of breaking his arm to heal the wound in time, he stopped the head injury from continuing to deteriorate, but the blood shed became a sign to guide Yue Chen and the others forward. And Nangong Lang's sensitivity to blood was almost to the point where Yue Chen and the others were stunned. Within ten zhang, as long as there is a smell of blood, he can find it without hesitation.

The four of them chased the injured Nine Hidden Raccoon Dogs down, and gradually found that they had never met anyone again along the way, even if it was a dead person. The escape route of the Nine Hidden Raccoons jumped into a rocky mountain after a flat grassland.

This stone mountain is extremely abrupt, and compared with the grassland, it seems out of place. At first glance, it seems that it was directly moved to this grassland by some force. From the periphery, the mountain is only 100 zhang high, occupies no more than 500 miles of space, and its shape is in the shape of a diamond with extremely balanced power. If you talk about the mountain, for Yue Chen, it is indeed a little insignificant, but its neat shape still makes people suspicious. Because it really does look like a man-made rockery.

Nangong Lang said: "This is Siling Mountain! It is one of the most dangerous places in the Red Forest Region. According to my mother, many of the elders in the Three Fox Sect have fallen in this mountain. ”

Dongmen Yu said: "Little wolf, why is it called Siling Mountain? What powerful monsters are there, do you know?"

"Legend has it that Siling Mountain was formed by a Yin Spirit who ascended to the Tao. After the mountain was formed, its four wisps of yin spirits still did not disperse, and over time, they gathered the injustice and yin qi between heaven and earth, and derived four powerful yin spirits. These four Yin Spirits have never been seen before. Anyone who sees a living creature will become a living skeleton and will be permanently imprisoned in the Four Spirits Mountain. ”

Nangong Lang said this, listening to the people next to him, his heart was cold, and the original idea of going in to take a look suddenly dissipated.

Yue Chen said: "The danger here is not something we can deal with. Let's take a detour and move on. ”

The other three nodded vigorously, and Dongmen Yu took the lead in walking forward. Before leaving, Yue Chen glanced at Siling Mountain and felt faintly uneasy in his heart. Because the wind blowing from the mountain has a strange aura, and this aura is impossible for the other three to perceive.

Because of chasing all the way, the spiritual power was consumed too much, so the four of them had to walk on foot. If you want to find spiritual materials in this vast grassland, it has also become a wishful wish.

After walking out of about ten miles, Yue Chen slowly squatted down, touched the land with his hands, and after a moment of silence, he walked sideways to the right quietly, still leaning over to check. Ximen Xue, who was following behind, shouted: "Such a big footprint?"

"You wait for me here, I'll go to the front and have a look!" Yue Chen advised: "Be careful!"

This sudden big footprint made Yue Chen's heart feel like he was in an abyss, like entering a nightmare. Judging by the judgment, this big footprint is exactly the same as what I have seen. At this time, probably no one will take it as a coincidence. Therefore, Yue Chen decided to pursue it and find out.

Yue Chen first searched straight in the direction pointed by the footprints, and after flying out of the hundred miles, he didn't see another one appear. At this time, Yue Chen was already far away from Siling Mountain, and when he looked back at Siling Mountain, it was like a small mound in the hidden fog. Yue Chen was also surprised to find that this Siling Mountain was indeed extremely weird. As long as you follow a certain point in the mountain, you will soon be out of sight.

In desperation, I had to return, and then searched along the mountain, and after a hundred miles, I finally found the second footprint, but it was only a section of the heel part. The other part happened to be buried in the Siling Mountain.

"Could it be that this monster has walked into the Four Spirits Mountain?" Yue Chen quickly made this judgment in the direction of his feet. After thinking for a while, he quickly returned and said to the other three: "I want to go into Siling Mountain to have a look, and the three of you are waiting for me outside." ”

Nangong Lang said: "I'll go with you! I'm more familiar with you here, and it will definitely help!"

"You can't just leave the two of us, right? Let's go together!" Dongmen Yuya said, "Xiaoxue, are you right?"

"It's too dangerous inside, if I can't deal with it at all, we'll all die inside! At that time, the hard work of the Snake Ancestor's predecessors will be in vain!"

"Big brother, it's okay!" Dongmen Yu said with a smile, "If the four of us hadn't been hard, we would have died thousands of times." It's just a Siling Mountain, there's nothing to be afraid of!"

"You can go, but you must listen to me and stand behind me at all times. If it's just a yin spirit, maybe there's still a chance to escape. But don't forget the injured Nine Hidden Raccoons. ”

The path into the mountain chosen by the four of them is also the place where the Nine Hidden Fox walked. But when he entered the five miles of Siling Mountain, he could no longer find any breath of the Nine Hidden Raccoons. Nangong Lang also couldn't detect the smell of blood, and there was a bit of a dilemma between tracking and advancing and retreating at this time.

The ghost on the side, Dongmen Yu, muttered: "It's strange! Why is it that all the grass and trees around here have become the same? Obviously, we just passed through a rugged stone road!"

Yue Chen was shocked in his heart, and secretly said, "Illusion?" He also quickly looked at the situation around the four of them, and it was indeed as Dongmen Yu said, at a glance, it was indeed exactly the same grass and trees. He said, "We have just entered the land of five miles, how could this kind of secret realm happen? The distance of five miles is at most to the foot of the mountain. Could it be that as soon as you step into the area of the Four Spirit Mountains, this kind of mystery will be formed?"

Nangong Lang also said in surprise: "It seems that a certain mysterious curse of the legendary Siling Mountain has been unsealed. If that's the case, we'll be trapped here!"

Dongmen Yu asked, "What curse?"

"This, I don't know the specifics!" Nangong Lang's cold man also showed a little embarrassment, and said slowly: "I just heard my mother mention it, saying that in the primeval and ancient periods, countless powerful curses and forbidden words were formed. Among them, some curses are powerful enough to derive the illusion of reality. And these four spirit mountains are precisely in this powerful curse legend. As for whether it is true or false, it is impossible to say. ”

Nangong Lang's words are just a legend for Yu and Xue, but for Yue Chen, who has experienced countless illusions in his own life, his heart is still turbulent, and he can't calm down for a long time.

After a long time, Yue Chen said: "Now, we can only rely on our feelings, according to the original direction, and continue to move forward." In addition, everyone should not think crankily and relax their minds. When you see some scenes, you don't have to rush to pay attention to them, and it's not too late to find out when you're sure. With that, he took out the Seven Evil Wood and walked forward. The other three can be said to be close to Yue Chen.

Because everything around them is the same, it is difficult to tell whether the four of them are moving forward, backward, or wandering in place. But strangely, with the exception of four people, there was no sign of life. The surrounding space, even if it is not lifeless, and there are no living beings appearing, which adds a bit of a strange atmosphere to the current situation.

After the four of them walked out for two hours, there was a slight change in the situation around them. The air gradually condensed, the temperature around it gradually increased, and more importantly, bamboo slips appeared on the ground.

Yue Chen casually picked up the first bamboo slip he saw, unfolded it slightly to look at it, and found that it was all ancient characters he had seen before. Judging by some of the texts I read, it seems that this is a record of water-related content. After thinking about it for a while, he carefully received this bamboo slip into the Ruyi bag, and by the way, he glanced at the books he had obtained not long ago, shook his head slightly, and didn't think about it anymore.

One after another, the four of them saw more and more things, and the originally sparse bamboo slips gradually became denser. Fortunately, Yue Chen had already taught the three of them how to use the low-level Ruyi magic weapon, and he also gave each of the low-level Ruyi magic weapons he carried with him. Along the way, the three of them also picked up a lot of things.

In Yue Chen's memory and understanding, the appearance of this kind of ruyi ritual with pioneering significance has provided great help to the monk's practice. Not only does it have a strong holding capacity, but the most important thing is its function of protecting secrets. From all kinds of ancient books, there is no monk who can sense the contents of the Ruyi bag, even if it is the lowest level. In Yue Chen's personal experience, only the appearance of the earth demon could sense the existence of the Seven Evil Trees. This in itself is unbelievable, but it can be explained.

In this strange and secluded environment, except for picking up these unowned things, the four of them had nothing to do for a while, so they had to continue to walk forward by feeling. Gradually, the sky darkened, and Yue Chen had no choice but to take out an ordinary lighting bead. The scope of this illumination bead is only within the zhangyu, and the light outside the zhangyu is all absorbed by the darkness.

Suddenly, Yue Chen stopped and squatted down to check.

Ximen Xue asked, "Big brother, what did you find?"

"Footprints!"
