Volume 2: Ten Thousand Flame Soul Domain Chapter 282: Arrival
As twilight falls, the closer Yancheng gets to the south, the cooler the temperature becomes. After a day's journey, Shi Xiao was now only a few hours away from the south, and with the cool air, he simply rested for a while, and hurriedly started to hurry.
As early as evening, Shi Xiao and his party had already arrived at this mountain range that belonged to the southern border. The roads of the plains are now gone, and they are all cut off into intermittent rugged mountain roads.
The two shadow guards were very familiar with the terrain of the mountain range in the south, and when the two of them entered this mountain range, they seemed to be like fish in water, controlling the walking beasts to shuttle through the woods, and they moved very quickly. At this time, the speed of the beast that Shi Xiao was sitting on was greatly reduced, and he followed the two beasts in front of him in this forest aggrievedly.
"Brother Shadow Guard, slow down, I can't keep up with you!" Shi Xiao shouted.
At this time, the two shadow guards had already distanced themselves from Shi Xiao by a large distance, if it weren't for Shi Xiao, the walking beast, following the footprints left in front of him, I am afraid that he would have been lost a long time ago.
Seeing this, the two shadow guards also smiled and said: "Our shadow guards have been training in this mountain range since they were children, and they have long been familiar with this place, so it's naturally not your fault that you can't keep up!"
"I see..."Shi Xiao nodded. Shi Xiao can be regarded as figuring it out now, when they entered this mountain range, they shuttled through the woods, as if they were shuttling in their own home, and the reason was that they grew up here.
"Keep up, we'll take you a shortcut!" said a shadow guard, manipulating the beast directly into the woods.
Shi Xiao's mount was not to be outdone, he exhaled a long breath through his nose and followed directly.
The mountain path was upward, and because of this, and the obstruction of the branches, the speed of the beast was also very slow at this time.
After walking for about an hour, he had reached the top of this high mountain. At the foot of the mountain at this time, there were two fires that were very eye-catching, the firelight was not large, both of them were at the flowing water at the foot of the mountain, and they must have been cultivators from other cities.
The smoke looked immortal in the moonlight, and there was no wind at all, and it also rose directly under the clouds.
A shadow guard looked at the firelight at the foot of the mountain and said in a low voice, "It seems that these cultivators are a little tired from hurrying!"
Indeed, unlike these two shadow guards, they were very familiar with the mountains. They had traveled for a long day, and coupled with these mountain paths, it was inevitable that these cultivators would not be able to bear it, and if they didn't rest now, they would not be able to rest when they arrived at the place where the Lost Divine Scroll was.
"Let's meet with the soldiers stationed there, and have a good rest when the time comes, and recuperate!" Shi Xiao said in a low voice.
"Hmm!" the two shadow guards nodded, directly bypassing the group of cultivators who were resting, and headed south.
More than a dozen people were sleeping at the waterfall, as were the few walking beasts. The sparks in the fire jumped in it from time to time, and a middle-aged man sat by the fire, staring at the beating sparks for a long time without speaking.
A snoring sound like thunder came clearly in the distance, and the strong man spread his hands on the ground and formed a 'big' character, sleeping in the dark, not caring about the two dark-skinned teenagers on the side.
The two teenagers were clutching their ears at this time, and they were also a long distance away from the strong man, curled up under the tree, not knowing whether they were asleep or not.
The middle-aged man's eyes reflected the light of the fire in front of him, staring at the beating spark. I don't know how long it took, but the middle-aged man stood up and walked towards the tumultuous waterfall. The man was dressed in a plain white and blue-edged cultivation uniform, looking extremely delicate in the moonlight, with his hands behind his back, strolling and walking.
"Master Goo, haven't you rested so late?" At this time, a voice came from behind the middle-aged man. This person is Gu Jin, and the person who is sleeping and snoring is Gao Zong.
The man turned his head to look, and a young man in his twenties walked towards him, and then smiled:
"Didn't you sleep so late!"
"Master Gao's snoring is so bad that I can't sleep!" the young man laughed.
"Hahaha!" Gollum laughed, but the laughter was quickly stopped by a worried mood, Gollum raised his head, looked at the white moon, let out a long sigh, and then said:
"If we can't get anything here this time, I'm afraid it will really be dismantled!"
Seeing that his master was so sad, the young man felt uncomfortable in his heart, and then he took a long breath and said in a low voice: "Master, don't worry, I, Liu Qingyang, will never let the Pure Soul Academy be dismantled!"
Everyone knows the power of the young man, and it is also because of this young man in the Pure Soul Academy that he has not been dismantled, but this young man is not like the ordinary family prominent gentleman, his life and work have always been very low-key.
"Your Liu family is indeed powerful, but..."
"I know what I'm always worried about, although my father is against me, but my old man has always supported me! Even if I have such a stiff quarrel with the Liu family, the old man won't say anything about me!"
Liu Qingyang knew what Gu Jin was worried about, Liu Qingyang refused all the things his father arranged for him in order to come to the Soul Academy to cultivate, and his father directly drove him out of the Liu family in a fit of anger. Over the years, he, Liu Qingyang, has also relied on the support of the old man in his mouth to survive until now, and this Pure Soul Courtyard is also because this old man has not been dismantled.
"Ahh
Liu Qingyang stopped talking, stood beside his master, raised his head, looked at the bright moon, and muttered, "Even if I leave the academy, I won't let the Pure Soul Academy be dismantled..."
Liu Qingyang also has great respect for the master beside him, when he was kicked out of the Liu family by his father, it was this person who took him in. It was also this person who passed the news of his expulsion from the Liu family to the old man of the Liu family, otherwise, Liu Qingyang didn't know what it would be like now.
...
Rustle...
The three walking beasts shuttled quickly through the woods, and the sound of their bodies and leaves rubbing against the leaves was also very loud in the middle of the night. Shi Xiao took out the dry food and ate some on this bumpy road, and shook his head fiercely. Sleepiness came at him like a tidal wave, and the upper and lower eyelids of a pair of eyes kept fighting.
Tired, now this word can no longer summarize the state of Shi Xiao, even the two shadow guards can't parry it now, if it weren't for the beast running, I'm afraid they would have fallen asleep a long time ago.
This mountain range is divided into three sections, the first section is into the forest, and there are only sparse mountains in the forest, which is the area where Shi Xiao and the others are located at present. The second section is through the forest into the plain, which is very small and can be crossed in half an hour, and the third section is a series of mountains, which are like a great wall guarding the southern border of Yancheng.
And the place where this Fallen God Scroll is located is the third mountain range, and it is also the deepest part.
I don't know how long it took, Shi Xiao finally passed through the forest and reached the plain area. A long river flows directly from the forest to the plain, and the river is sparkling in the moonlight, and the sand, gravel, and aquatic plants in it can be seen clearly.
"There's still an hour at most!Rest and give the beast some water!" said the Shadow Guard.
The three of them dismounted the beast and pulled it to the river. The three walking beasts were also tired, so they directly broke free from the reins of the three and rushed into the river. The beasts are also about to reach their limit, and such a day and night rush is indeed quite a big consumption for them.
A shadow guard pointed to a high mountain to the south and said, "It should be that one!"
At this time, a black shadow was patrolling the sky above the high mountain, and the distance was so far away, the black shadow that Shi Xiao saw was very large, and asked with a frown, "That's the beast clan?"
The shadow guard nodded and replied proudly, "The Beast Dragon Clan!
"Beast Dragon Clan!?" Shi Xiao was a little surprised, but looking at the black shadow was indeed a bit like the dragon clan that Yuan Yuan said at the beginning, the appearance of the black shadow was a shortened version of the original Mourning Mist Falling Stygian Dragon.
At this time, the black shadow hovering over the high mountain seemed to see a few people, turned directly, and swooped towards a few people.
Call!
So far from the ground, Shi Xiao could clearly hear the sound that pierced the air. The distance is getting closer and closer, and the figure is getting clearer and clearer. The journey of an hour was directly shortened to half a burnt incense at the speed of this beast, and the beast landed steadily in the clearing of this plain.
"Arrived so soon!?"
