Chapter 5: Soul Eater Mountain
The next day, early in the morning, when everyone was asleep, Lin Yan left the inn early, first, to inquire about the situation of the Soul Devouring Mountain, and secondly, to prepare some things.
This Soul Eater Mountain Ridge seems to have a lot of bad reputation in Mingyang City, many people know the situation of the Soul Eater Mountain Range, and when he learned that this Soul Eater Mountain Range is shrouded in a layer of miasma all year round, he couldn't help but have a strange color on his face.
Immediately, he asked if there was anything to guard against the miasma, and the person who was asked was also very happy to tell him, as long as he went to buy the antidote pill.
"What kind of antidote pill do you need?" Lin Shan looked at the person in front of him and asked slowly.
"As long as it doesn't go deeper, an ordinary antidote pill is enough to deal with the miasma inside. The man replied.
A different color flashed in Lin Yan's eyes, these Zhang Shan didn't tell him at all, I don't know if he forgot it, or deliberately didn't tell it, the former doesn't matter, if it's the latter, then he can also figure out what Zhang Shan thinks.
Lin Yan then asked the man where he could buy it, and the man pointed out the direction to him without hesitation.
"Young man, that Soul Eater Mountain is a terrifying place, and it is not something you can go to at all. ”
As if he hadn't listened to this person's words, Lin Yan thanked him and ran in that direction. However, the man stood in place, looking at Lin Yan's disappeared back, and said with some regret: "Another person who went to die, young, alas." ”
With that, the man shook his head and turned to leave.
The time soon reached noon, and Lin Yan had already returned to the lobby of the inn, ordered a table of dishes, and waited for Zhang Shan and a few people.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Zhang Shan and a few people to come down from upstairs. When Zhang Shan, who was the leader, saw Lin Yan, he walked straight towards him, and the three people behind him also slowly followed.
Zhang Shan walked to the table where Lin Yan was, hugged his fists, and said with a smile: "Lin Daoyou came quickly, so Daoyou has been waiting for a long time." ”
Lin Yan made a gesture of invitation, and said with an unchanged face: "Zhang Daoyou's words are serious, and he is just one step ahead of you." ”
Zhang Shan laughed, no longer continuing to dwell on this question, and immediately walked to Lin Yan's side. The other three did the same.
The five of them gathered around a table, eating and chatting at the same time, but they seemed to be very happy, I don't know how good their relationship was, but I didn't know that everyone here had careful thoughts, and now it is just a surface calm.
Lin Yan knew that when they got the things of the foundation building monk, it would be the moment when everyone tore their faces.
During this period, Zhang Shan said from time to time that he had encountered some interesting things, and at the same time, he kept looking for opportunities to ask Lin Yan about his past, but Lin Yan said that he had not encountered anything interesting before.
Zhang Shan also knew that Lin Yan deliberately didn't say anything, and he didn't continue to ask. Then Zhang Shan said how the four of them met and how they were like-minded.
"Like-minded, I think it's a confidant if you smell like. Lin Yan heard Zhang Shan's eloquent talk, and said mockingly in his heart.
Soon the five of them finished their lunch. Then Zhang Shan asked Lin Yan if he had packed his luggage, but Lin Yan just said lightly, there was nothing to pack.
"The Soul Eater Mountain Forest is a hundred miles southwest of Mingyang City, and there is a village where we are friends, we must get there before dark today, and then stay in that village for one night, and then enter the Soul Eater Mountain Ridge the next day. What do you think?"
"Good. All four replied at the same time.
Then the group of five people left Mingyang City and headed southwest. The five of them are all monks, and their speed is naturally very fast, even if they are not inferior to horses.
Although they are all monks, they are also people who have entered this ranks, and their physical strength is only several times better than that of ordinary people. Therefore, when they arrived at the village that Zhang Shan mentioned, it was already approaching night.
The five of them found a simple inn in the village, and after a hasty meal, they returned to their rooms and began to rest.
The next morning, all five of them got up early, almost all of them when the genius was gray, and it was obvious that they all cared about and valued this action.
After breakfast, the five of them left the village and continued towards the Soul Eater Mountain. They were only about two miles away from the Soul Eater Mountain at this time, so everyone could clearly see the mountain range in the distance that seemed to be covered by a layer of black mist.
At the outermost part of the mountain, the black fog is not very thick, but the more you go inside, the black fog can barely make the sun shine into it.
Lin Yan just glanced at it from a distance, and he felt that his heart was beating wildly, since he became a monk, he had such a reaction for the first time, and they all said that after becoming a monk, there was a certain omen for his own blessings and misfortunes, obviously this Soul Devouring Mountain was indeed as Zhang Shan said, it was a forbidden land-like existence.
"I thought I was careful enough, but in this case, it seems that I was negligent. Lin Yan looked at the Soul Devouring Mountain in the distance and thought in his heart.
Soon the five of them came to the Soul Eater Ridge.
When Lin Yan saw the black mist, his brows suddenly furrowed, and there was a trace of unkindness in his eyes, and he asked knowingly: "Zhang Daoyou, you didn't tell me that this Soul Devouring Mountain Ridge was actually covered in miasma. ”
Zhang Shan next to him slapped his forehead suddenly, making a look of annoyance, and then Lin Yan said apologetically: "Lin Daoyou, I was negligent and forgot to tell you." But don't worry, I've been planning to come to the Soul Eater Mountain for a long time, and I'm ready to get rid of the poison pill. ”
He immediately took out a black pill from his arms, handed it to Lin Yan, and said with a sincere face: "Please don't take it to heart, it's not that you didn't say it intentionally, you really forgot it." After speaking, he made an apologetic look on his face.
"Don't worry, I won't take some small things to heart. If Lin Yan hadn't heard some words that night, I'm afraid he would have been deceived by his appearance, and he couldn't help sneering in his heart.
Then Zhang Shan took out a few pills that were also black and handed them to the three people beside him.
However, the three of them all shook their heads, that is, they had already prepared the pills that day.
When Zhang Shan heard this, he slowly withdrew the pill, but there was a flash of murder in his eyes.
Then Yu Shan and the three took out the pill and took it down. Immediately, Zhang Shan looked at Lin Yan on the side and reminded: "Lin Daoyou, quickly take the antidote pill, we are ready to go in." ”
After saying that, Zhang Shan swallowed the pill into his stomach first. Seeing this, Lin Yan didn't waste any more time, and raised the pill in the palm of his right hand to his mouth.
Seeing Zhang Shan put his eyes on his body, he immediately understood whether the other party really planned to use the miasma of the Soul Devouring Mountain Range to kill himself, or this black pill?
Pharynx!
Lin Yan swallowed the pill in one gulp, then looked at Zhang Shan and said, "Let's go." Zhang Shan saw Lin Yan swallowing the pill, the smile on his face was even worse, and he immediately gave the order and said, "Let's go." ”
Zhang Shan immediately walked in front and led the way in front, while the other three followed him. Lin Yan looked at the four people in front of him, and then subconsciously glanced at his right hand, only to see that there was a black pill on his index finger and middle finger.
Lin Yan followed, and at the same time covered his nose with his right hand, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
"This is a ginseng pill!"
Lin Yan then lowered his right hand and looked at Zhang Shan's back, revealing a look that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
But after their group entered the Soul Eater Mountains, they suddenly felt an indescribable feeling of oppression, as if there was something terrifying in the Soul Eater Mountains.
There was a disgusting miasma between the trees, but fortunately, the toxicity was not particularly strong, but even so, everyone only dared to lower their breathing, although this antidote pill was effective, but it could not completely eliminate the effect of the miasma.
The miasma is like a gray curtain that obscures the sunlight that shines down. But because the miasma on the periphery is not so thick, there is also sunlight that passes through the miasma and falls on the ground, and the fine sunlight on the ground has an indescribable beauty.
However, everyone did not pay attention to this at the moment, but carefully watched the surroundings.
"Although there are no demon beasts on the periphery of this Soul Devouring Mountain, there is a kind of demon tree, the roots of this kind of tree are not much different from ordinary trees, and you must not be entangled by the roots of this tree, otherwise even if you are a monk, you will be sucked dry in an instant!" Zhang Shan reminded.
Lin Yan's expression froze slightly.
"Don't worry too much, though, these trees are afraid of flames and move very slowly, so as long as we don't get caught once, they won't be a threat to us. Zhang Shan then added.
Then the five of them walked inside again. Suddenly, Lin Yan listened suddenly, his eyes kept scanning the surroundings, not whether the Tao was his illusion or not, and he felt that the trees around him seemed to be moving towards him.
Immediately afterwards, his face suddenly changed, and he secretly screamed that it was not good, he and the others were afraid that they had met the kind of demon tree that Zhang Shan said!
Just as he was about to be reminded, a spike suddenly appeared from under his feet. Lin Yan also reacted quickly, lifting the light body technique and moving to the side.
But it seemed that this spiky move represented this kind of signal, and at the same time, suddenly seven or eight tree vines came out of the ground and wound towards Lin Yan.
Lin Yan's movements naturally attracted Zhang Shan's attention, but when they noticed it, it was already too late, because there were seven or eight vines around them that looked like adults' arms.
Lin Yan kept dodging between the trees and vines, and at the same time, his eyes looked around from time to time, he wanted to realize that those trees were demon trees.
When Lin Yan dodged the oncoming tree vines, he turned around and looked behind him suddenly, and a touch of coldness appeared on his face: "It's you." ”
At the same time, a fireball twice the size of a fist suddenly appeared on his fingertips.
