Chapter Ninety-Eight: Accidents on the Road
The sun fell on the jungle, and thousands of green leaves swayed in unison with the wind, flashing with silver light, like leaves carved from silver, cold and even a little dazzling. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It's hard to see such a view on Earth.
The pollution is too serious, the atmosphere is full of dust, even if the sun falls, it is not so transparent, not to mention that those leaves are full of dust, and the sun is not so transparent, most of them are dusty, and people will become gray, so they are irritable, depressed, and angry.
When Gu Xiaozhao was still Gu Xinyan, he had stayed in the snowy plateau of Tibet for a period of time, and only there could he see silver-like leaves.
That's because there's no pollution in the highlands, and the air is thin.
Although the Hengduan Mountain Range is majestic and majestic, stretching for 100,000 miles from east to west, and thousands of miles wide from north to south, however, the altitude of the place where the Dripping Water View is located is not high, and the air is not thin.
No industry, no pollution.
It's just that this place is different from the snowy plateau!
Not only that, but it is also very different from the Mangcang Forest Sea where the young Xiao Gu is!
There are not many trees on the snowy plateau, and most of them are on the front line of the road, and most of the distant slopes are bare, if there are not planes sprinkling grass seeds all year round, they must be full of bare rocks.
The sea of forests is somewhat like the Amazon forest on the earth, the tall trees rise into the clouds, and they are very close, blocking the sun, and under the trees, there are mostly mosses and rotten leaves buried very thickly, which are extremely dark, so that the air is not circulated, and there is a so-called miasma, which is difficult for human beings to survive.
The Hengduan Mountains are different.
The trees are even taller than the trees in the sea of forests, a hundred feet high, the body of the tree is extremely wide, and some even need a hundred people to hug it, as the trunk is straight or curved upward, the crown is lush, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the crown is like a cloud.
It is said that in those treetops, there are some magical elves.
In the Hengduan Mountains, similar trees are like beasts of prey, and they also have their own spheres of influence, and they are very far away from each other, and they have a tacit understanding.
Between the trees, there are human-height bushes and weeds, and in the middle of the bushes and weeds, there are many medicinal herbs, and it is not easy to find them and pick them, even for a skilled warrior.
Gu Xiaozhao and his entourage walked through the weeds.
Mr. Zhou on the earth once said that there is no road in the world, and there are many people who walk, so there is a road.
This sentence is also quite reasonable in the Tianyun Realm, Gu Xiaozhao and the others are walking on a road opened up by the mountain guests, along this road, walk for an hour or two, you can meet a supply point, if you continue to move forward without resting, you can reach the Lanxi before dark.
In short, if it is at this rate, it will not be able to return to Dishui Guanfang City today.
If he left the others behind, Gu Xiaozhao would do his best to stimulate his true qi and hurry, or tie up a horse and be able to rush back to Dripping Water Temple before dark, but he didn't have to do so.
Although he agreed to enter the Hengduan Mountains with Mu Xiaosang, Wei Nan, the second son of Wei Lord, however, it was still early to set off, and Wei Nan didn't know why he was delayed.
So, take it slowly.
However, even if they walked slowly, the group was like facing a great enemy, and they all put their hands on the handle of the sword or the hilt of the sword, and the slightest movement of the wind and grass, their eyes immediately swept over, and their bodies were as straight as a bowstring that was pulled apart, as if they were going to stimulate their true qi to attack and kill in the next moment.
Most of the surrounding shrubs or weeds are tall and occasionally canes are blocked in front of the road, such an environment is very dangerous, if there is a hostile force in front of the ambush, with a strong bow and crossbow to attack suddenly, if the group is not prepared, most of the casualties will be more than half.
This is not alarmist.
For many years, there are no known number of warriors who have died on this road, so this medicine collection trail leading to the mountains is also called the blood road or the sad trail by the mountain guests in Fang City.
Even Gu Xiaozhao didn't take it lightly at this time.
At this time, Gu Xiaozhao had already put the qi probing decision into operation.
Zhou Shiyu followed by his side, behind him was a large army, Gu Dazhong was behind, responsible for the broken back, more than thirty zhang away in front, Gu Feiyang was exploring the way in front.
Today's Gu Xiaozhao, after running the Qi Exploration Decision, his divine thoughts have already reached five zhang away, which is completely different from two months ago, and at that time, it was not even a zhang.
For him, there is still a threat of parting hall in secret, and it is impossible to be too careful.
"Who?"
There was a loud shout from the front.
The voice drifted in the wind, walking through the messy weeds and bushes, and after going around a few times, it was a little distorted, but Gu Xiaozhao heard it clearly, this was Gu Feiyang's voice.
He raised his left hand above his head.
This is a gesture that asks everyone to prepare for battle.
Zhou Shiyu, who was standing beside Gu Xiaozhao, reacted the fastest, and before Gu Xiaozhao could raise her left hand, she had already pulled out the full moon scimitar on her waist, her body was as low as a civet cat, her head leaned forward slightly, looking in the direction where the voice came from, her eyes narrowed slightly, and her pupils were black and shiny.
The reactions of the people behind him were mixed.
Like Gu Yin, a loyal dog who always pays attention to Gu Xiaozhao, his reaction is a little slower than Zhou Shiyu's, and when Gu Xiaozhao raises his left hand, he immediately rushes forward, holding the handle of the horizontal knife, half-squatting in front of Gu Xiaozhao, looking forward with blazing eyes.
An expression of loyalty to the Lord and desperate for his life.
Some guys also reacted okay, according to the usual training method, in groups of three or five, gathered together, bent over and half-squatted under those thick plants, as a cover.
However, there are also some guys who are unusually slow to react.
They were either absent from the battle for a long time, or they were coming to battle for the first time, some of them were scurrying around like headless flies, and some of them were standing blankly like fools with big eyes.
At this point, if there is an enemy surprise attack, those guys will most likely die an ugly death.
"Bang!"
There was a loud bang ahead.
An invisible wave of air swept in front of me, and everywhere it passed, all plants, large and small, whether they were spiky bushes and thorns, broad-leaved weeds, or some strangely shaped object, lowered their heads in the wind.
The sun shines down, and the gloom sweeps away.
In front of me, the line of sight suddenly opened.
A hundred zhang away, not far from a huge ancient tree, there were several figures flying in the air like big birds, the air in the middle of the war group was forced to go away, forming a huge wave of qi, even if it was a strong man, even if he stood on the edge of the war group, he would be overturned and fly away like a kite.
In the middle of Gu Xiaozhao and those few people, thirty zhang away, Gu Feiyang was stopped by two martial artists.
It is not appropriate to say that it is blocked, in fact, Gu Feiyang is being attacked by those two martial artists in the early stage of the Qi Refining Realm, the other party cooperates properly, and the attack is ruthless, and he is so sure that he is a good hand that has been killed for a long time, and it is definitely not a guy who has a high realm but lacks actual combat.
Gu Feiyang was very embarrassed under the attack of those two guys, and his moves were extremely difficult, that is, he was struggling to support, and it wouldn't take long to be defeated.
"Young master, what should I do?"
Gu Yin turned around and looked at Gu Xiaozhao.
Gu Xiaozhao frowned, he glanced at Zhou Shiyu beside him, there was more inquiry in his eyes, Zhou Shiyu looked back at him and nodded silently.
Then, Zhou Shiyu jumped lightly in the air, which was more than one person tall.
She jumped in front of Gu Xiaozhao.
Gu Xiaozhao took half a step forward and raised his hands, just supporting the soles of Zhou Shiyu's feet.
"Phew!"
With a low shout, he was really angry.
Subsequently, Zhou Shiyu was thrown by Gu Xiaozhao like a stone on a catapult, and his speed was like the wind, and he flew out more than 20 zhang in an instant.
At this time, the force that Gu Xiaozhao added to Zhou Shiyu's feet dissipated.
With the remaining strength, Zhou Shiyu was still gliding in the air, and the strong wind blew up the thick * black braid tied behind her head, forming a straight black line.
The man was in the air, and the scimitar in his hand flew out.
"Woo woo woo ......"
The scimitar sliced through the air, pulling out a beautiful silver-white arc and slashing forward, the blade reflecting the sunlight and reflecting the dazzling white light.
In fact, the two warriors who besieged Gu Feiyang had already seen Gu Xiaozhao and his party.
However, the distance between them was more than thirty zhang, and they thought that Gu Xiaozhao and the others would not be able to come over for a while, and they had time to kill Gu Feiyang, and then deal with the others.
Therefore, they were still pressing forward step by step, besieging Gu Feiyang.
What they didn't expect was that Zhou Shiyu flew over like a flying immortal out of the sky, and for a while, the two of them were taken aback.
The scimitar flew like a swallow.
A warrior dressed in a brown cloth shirt with black hair on his face took the initiative to break away from the battle, his body squatted slightly, and his true qi went down from the dantian, rapidly hitting the soles of his feet.
"Bang!"
Dirt and grass roots splattered in all directions.
There were two more small pits on the ground that were three inches deep, and the guy flew up like an owl, waving a horizontal knife, the blade trembled slightly, like a frightened little beast let out a burst of buzzing, and in the buzzing sound, the true qi surged out from the blade, drawing a wave of crimson qi.
The air wave slashed diagonally into the air.
As a seasoned veteran, you can estimate where the scimitar will go next with just a glance at the trajectory of the scimitar's flight.
In that guy's opinion, his own knife can accurately knock the flying scimitar into the air.
After all, he has more than ten years of experience in fighting, and he is an old bird who can't get any older.
Again, there are exceptions to everything!
The full moon scimitar in the air was slightly stunned, and a sudden brake came, like a spiritual thing, dodging the attack of true qi.
"Ah......h
The person was still in the air, and the guy couldn't help but open his mouth slightly, looking sluggish.
Talismans?
It's just that you bumped into a guy you can't mess with!
A little girl actually has a talisman in her hand, so what kind of big man will be standing behind her? Rao is the group of that guy is famous in the Hengduan Mountain Range, and has always been the king and hegemon, however, he also knows that in this area, even if he is his own boss, there are people who cannot be offended.
What to do?
That guy was at a loss in the bottom of his heart!
watched as the scimitar pulled a shiny line of snow towards him......
