In the middle of the sound, the golden giant ape waved his big hand, pointed at Han Shi, and made some croaking sounds in his mouth, and soon, dozens of silver apes knelt down towards Han Shi, not daring to look up directly, Han Shi stood quietly on the spot, looking at the ape group in front of him.

The apes knelt down for a long time, until the golden giant ape let out a low shout, and then they stood up one after another, standing quietly aside, not daring to make a sound.

The golden giant ape walked up to Han Shi, pointed to his shoulder, and leaned down, obviously wanting Han Shi to stand on his shoulder.

Han Shi was a little surprised in his heart, and he didn't refuse at the moment, took a step, stepped on the shoulder of the giant ape, and the golden giant ape jumped up from the ground, jumped high, and led the group of apes towards the depths of the dense forest.

The ape group kept tumbling up and down in the forest and mountains, and the movements of the golden giant ape were even more flexible, but its shoulders were always as steady as ever, and Han Shi stood on it, as if walking on the ground.

Feeling the growing sound of the wind in his ears, Han Shi, who was standing on the shoulders of the golden giant ape, exuded his spiritual sense without moving, and explored the road ahead, but in this forest, the spiritual sense was limited, and the distance that could be explored was not far, and there were many places like a fog, and Han Shi couldn't help but be cautious in his heart.

After more than an hour, the apes came to a smoky valley, surrounded on all sides by mountains, all of which were cliffs, and if it were not for the many rattans growing on the cliffs, intertwined with each other and forming natural ropes, the apes would not have come here.

All kinds of plants and trees in the valley seem to contain aura, and the color is thick and green, which makes people feel relaxed and happy when they look at it.

Han Shi's eyes lit up, the aura in this place was obviously much higher than in other places, if he healed and cultivated here, recovery of cultivation was just around the corner.

The golden giant ape waved his hand towards the group of apes, and the group of apes immediately dispersed, leaving only the golden giant ape and Han Shi in the valley, and the golden giant ape took Han Shi and continued to move towards the depths of the valley.

On the mountain wall deep at the bottom of the valley, there was a hazy white circle of light, the golden giant ape came here, shook his shoulders, and gently put down Han Shi, the giant ape slowly approached the white aperture, and bowed in front of the aperture.

In the middle of the sound, two milky white stones slowly floated out of the aperture and landed in front of the giant ape, who kept bowing, and didn't know what he was muttering in his mouth.

After a long time, he grabbed two stones, walked towards Han Shi, grinned at the corners of his mouth, handed one of the stones to Han Shi, and then squatted aside and began to gnaw on the stones.

Han Shi carefully looked at the white stone in his hand, half loud, his brows furrowed slightly, although the shape of this stone and the spirit stone are different, but the aura emitted is almost the same, obviously it also belongs to the category of spirit stone.

This golden giant ape's teeth are hard, and it can directly bite this stone and swallow it raw, although it doesn't know how to absorb the aura in it, but at least it can strengthen the body, and the strength is infinite.

It's just that the origin of this spirit stone is quite strange, this giant ape just bowed a few times, and then there was a spirit stone floating out, is there really such a cheap thing in this world?

Although Han Shi still has a shallow experience in cultivation, his mind is extremely transparent, and he can't help but have a trace of suspicion about this white stone at the moment, set up a flying sword, fly to a nearby cliff, sit down cross-legged, take out a medium-grade spirit stone, put it in his right hand, and then put the white stone in his left hand, and at the same time began to absorb it, and his spiritual sense was fully exerted, carefully distinguishing the difference between the spiritual energy absorbed by the two sides.

Half-ringing, Han Shi opened his eyes, there was a trace of gloom and fear in his eyes, the medium-grade spirit stone in his right hand was given by the master, and in comparison with the two, it was really genuine, and there was no trace of impurities mixed with it.

But the white stone on his left hand is not so much a spirit stone as a magic stone, and the aura it contains is mixed with a trace of extremely secret aura, which is extremely light, if it weren't for the gray stone in his eyebrows, he is extremely sensitive to this aura, I'm afraid that Han Shi himself can't distinguish it.

If this extremely light breath accumulates into a lot, it will be extremely difficult to remove it from the body at that time, and in the end, it will either refuse to absorb the magic stone and die of madness, or it can only continue to absorb it and become its slave.

There was a sneer in Han Shi's eyes, this kind of aura may not be able to be removed by others, but with his bluestone trick exerted with all his might, he can completely isolate this breath, leaving only the aura in it, so that after the spirit stone is exhausted, it can also be replaced by this white stone.

Han Shi sat here for three days in a row, absorbing medium-grade spirit stones, three days later, Han Shi's eyes opened, two rays of light flashed away, and he exhaled a breath of turbidity, and his cultivation finally recovered to the peak of Ning Yuan's fifteenth level.

Looking at the group of apes jumping up and down in the dense forest in the distance, Han Shi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Except for the golden giant ape, even this silver ape was obviously much larger than ordinary apes, and in the valley where the white aperture was located, the size of the grass and trees was also larger than that of ordinary plants and trees, and it was full of spirituality.

Han Shi's heart moved, he took the flying sword, took some plants and trees from the valley with roots and soil, and then took some plants and trees that looked about the same size from a distance, brought them back to the cliff, placed them in a cold place, and looked at them carefully.

Within half a day, the grass and trees taken from the valley began to show signs of withering, while the plants and trees taken from the distance remained the same.

After three days, all the plants and trees in the valley died, and there were even traces of scorching on the outside, while the plants and trees in the distance were still alive except for the dry ones.

In addition to observing the changes in the vegetation, Han Shi also closely monitored the movements near the white aperture.

Sure enough, the ape group would come to bow in front of the white circle of light every three to five days or so, and more than ten white stones could float out each time, which were divided and eaten by the ape group, and then suddenly became energetic and cheered away.

When they came back next time, the color of the apes' fur had obviously become a little duller, and some of them were even yawning and sluggish, Han Shi's face was calm, and there was a hint of clarity in his eyes.

It's weird here, and it's not good to stay for a long time.

Han Shi's expression did not move, he glanced around, took his flying sword, and flew straight forward.

Soon, a big river imprinted into Han Shi's eyes, this river is very wide, the distance between the two banks is not less than 100 zhang, the river is flat and down, there is no surprise.

It's just that the moment Han Shi saw this big river, his heart tightened for no reason, and instead of flying over the river, he retracted his sword and landed on the river.

This river gives him a sense of still water flowing deep.

The river water was cool and thorough, Han Shi took a handful of river water on the bank, washed his face, and looked at the opposite bank, about a hundred miles away, the outline of a giant city was full of shadows.

Han Shi was not in a hurry, he caught a few fresh fish from the river, peeled and washed them, threaded them with wooden branches, and selected a sweet and smooth licorice fruit that could be eaten raw from the medicinal herbs he carried, hid it in the belly of the fish, made a fire, and grilled the fish quite leisurely.

Although Han Shi is already a monk, he is still in the realm of the valley, looking at the sizzling fresh fish, accompanied by the special aroma of licorice fruit, a strong sense of hunger comes to his heart.

A lonely boat gradually emerged from afar, a black-clothed and white-haired old man rowed a bamboo oar, the boat song was melodious, glanced at Han Shi on the shore lightly, retracted his gaze, and continued to row into the distance.

Han Shi's heart moved, stood up, and shouted loudly, "Boatman, please stay." ”

When the old man heard this, he turned the bow of the boat, rowed towards Han Shi, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, but you want to cross the river?"

Han Shi shook his head, "No, I just want to ask my husband to taste the grilled fish below." ”

The old man tied the rope, jumped off the boat, walked to Han Shi's side, and was not polite, picked up a fish, sat down cross-legged, and ate it.

Han Shi was slightly stunned, smiled, sat down, took out two jars of wine from the storage bag, and handed one to the old man, the old man was unceremoniously, took the wine jar, patted open the mud, sniffed deeply, and a trace of discoloration flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

Raised the wine jar and drank it in a big gulp, and in this sip, he drank nearly half of the amount, and with a full burp, a trace of blush welled up on the old man's face, and his eyes showed satisfaction.

"The old man has not drunk such a fine wine for many years, thank you for the affection of the guest officer today!" the old man looked at Han Shi and nodded.

Han Shi smiled slightly and said: "You don't have to be polite, if it weren't for the chance today, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to see my husband. ”

Hearing this, the old man's eyes flashed imperceptibly, and he glanced at Han Shi deeply, and said: "For many years, I have been fishing and ferrying on the river in this realm for a living, and you can call me the ferryman." ”

Han Shi took a bite of the fish and thoughtfully, "Boundary River, ferryman ......"

Han Shi's heart moved, "My husband is working hard, and I still need to bother my old man to cross the river for me today, I don't know if it's okay?"

"The guest officer doesn't have to worry, he will board the ship with the old man in a while. ”

The two of them stopped talking, and focused on the fresh fish and wine, during which Han Shi caught a few more fish from the river and roasted them again, this time changing to a medicinal herb, the taste of fragrant and fresh was not under just now, and the old man applauded loudly after eating.

The two drank a total of six jars of wine, of which the old man drank four jars alone, until he was full of wine and food, the old man returned to the boat with a slightly drunk state, Han Shi then boarded the boat, sailed more than 30 zhang from the shore, and the scenery in front of him changed abruptly.

The surface of the river, which was calm just now, suddenly had ups and downs, and the wind and waves became bigger and bigger, and the opposite bank, which seemed to be close at hand, became blurred at this moment.

The undercurrent whirlpool haunted without a trace, and the hull of the ship swayed, as if it was in danger of capsizing.

Han Shi used his full force to absorb himself to the hull of the boat, but the old man stood on the bow of the boat as if he were walking on the ground, and his hearty laughter penetrated through the sky, not looking at these wind and waves in his eyes at all.

Suddenly, a head several times larger than the boat floated out of the river, opened its bloody mouth, and swallowed it towards the boat, which was extremely terrifying.

Han Shi's pupils contracted, he could see it clearly, there was a single horn on the top of the beast's head, like a dragon but not a dragon, it should be the legendary dragon.
