Chapter 15: The Black Phoenix Mountains

Although Duan Tian jumped into the Yudai River, he did not go east, and no matter what he went downstream, he could not escape the pursuit.

The only hope is to go upstream, into the mountains.

The Yudai River is very wide in the Jozan Castle area, reaching 10,000 zhang at its widest point, but it becomes narrower and narrower the further upstream, and the current is getting faster and faster.

After Duan Tian jumped into the river with Duan Dezhi's corpse, he immediately held his breath and headed upstream.

He didn't come out of the water, and no one knew where he went, and he guessed that the Song family's search must have gone down first, so he still had some buffer time.

Three hours later, Duan Tian landed ashore and headed towards the depths of the vast Black Phoenix Mountain Range.

found a remote valley, buried Duan Dezhi's body first, didn't even dare to make a tombstone, memorized the mark, kowtowed a few times, and Duan Tian quickly left.

He has to hurry up and escape, the people of the Song family will definitely chase after him soon, maybe there will be innate masters. He also knew that Song Lan's father, Song Zhi, was a congenital master.

killed Song Lan, Song Zhi definitely refused to give up.

However, his father-in-law is dead, Zhang Lao has retired, and Duan Tian has no fetters. Since Zhu Li and him began to secretly sell weapons, the two have no friendship on the surface. This time it shouldn't affect Zhu Li, if it's really because of myself that I hurt Zhu Li, I will definitely avenge you in the future.

Risking death to enter the Black Phoenix Mountain Range, Duan Tian naturally had a purpose, as long as he escaped to the Black Wolf Castle, he would be safe.

He had long heard that in the Black Wolf Castle, no one dared to do anything in the city.

It's just that from Joyama Castle to the Black Wolf Castle, there are thousands of miles away, and there are fierce beasts everywhere along the way, and there may even be demon beasts.

There is no need to say much about the hardships and dangers of the road. But that was the only hope, if he went to several other cities in Yudaijiang, no matter how he hid, he would not be able to escape the pursuit of the Song family.

After reading many classics and travelogues, Duan Tian was quite familiar with the Tail Finger Mountain area.

Heifeng Mountain, the maximum height of the peak is 12,000 zhang, stretching for thousands of miles.

There are very few demon beasts here, there are more fierce beasts and beasts, for the innate masters, as long as they do not encounter group fierce beasts, there is not much danger, but for people below the congenital, it is very dangerous here.

With Duan Tian's current cultivation, even in the Black Phoenix Mountain Range, it was full of dangers. What's more, his purpose was not the Black Phoenix Mountain Range, but the more dangerous Black Wolf Castle on the Tail Finger Mountain Range.

There are a lot of demon beasts on the tail finger mountain range, demon beasts are more terrifying existences than fierce beasts, first-level demon beasts are equivalent to human innate monks, second-level demon beasts are equivalent to human Tongxuan realm monks, and third-level demon beasts are equivalent to human spiritual realm monks.

Duan Tian had taken a Longevity Pill before, which made him feel as if he had increased a lot of strength.

Traveling all the way, he had entered the mountain range for more than 300 miles in one day, and at this moment it was already dark, and Duan Tian found a small cave and rested temporarily.

With his cultivation, he would never dare to rush at night, and the effect of the Longevity Pill was also eliminated.

Duan Tian also spent a lot of effort to understand the fierce beasts before, and there are more fierce beasts such as green wolves, violent bears, hedgehogs, flying leopards, rock apes, mountain flying and other land beasts, as well as iron pythons, golden-threaded centipedes, colored spiders, golden pythons, pangolins, thin-winged bats and many other poisonous insects.

There are black-winged golden-eyed eagles, scissor-tailed falcons, bald pheasants and other birds flying in the sky, and even some mountain streams, lakes and swamps in Heifeng Mountain are also infested with many aquatic fierce beasts.

It can be said that entering the Black Phoenix Mountain Range is full of dangers, and the fierce beasts here can barely deal with the true qi realm, such as the green wolf and the rock ape, all of them live in groups, and it is difficult to start alone, unless you are lucky enough to meet a lonely.

Many poisonous insects are hidden in dark places such as underground trees, and they are often difficult to prevent, and if you are not careful, you will definitely die a tragic death.

This cave is more than 20 meters long, and there is a flat area in it that is quite spacious, with a square area of several zhang, which is very suitable for resting.

There is also half a pine tree outside the entrance of the cave, which just covers most of the hole, and it is not easy to notice it if you don't look closely.

And there are also some traces left by wild beasts in the entrance of the cave, Duan Tian analyzed according to the knowledge learned in the book, it is the feces of ordinary fierce beast rock sheep. These rock sheep are good at living on mountain peaks and rocks, very vigorous, although they do not hurt people much, but they are also very difficult to catch, and the rock mutton and skin are also more valuable for ordinary people.

In addition to a large number of fierce beasts, Heifeng Mountain naturally has a larger number of beasts, these beasts are the main source of food for fierce beasts, and fierce beasts also evolved from wild beasts. Ordinary beast Duan Tian didn't take it to heart.

Duan Tian randomly found some branches and spread them on the ground, moved a few boulders to block the entrance of the cave, left some small holes for easy breathing, and ran wildly for a day, Duan Tian also felt very comfortable lying on the branches.

The point is that he is still alive now, and that is the happiest.

The injuries that were beaten by Song Lan and others before should be recovered soon after they were wiped out.

This escape was originally a temporary intention, and Duan Tian didn't have much preparation.

In addition to the large number of herbs purchased from Blackstone City, there was only a little dry food in his storage bag. Fortunately, Duan Tian had already had the idea of entering the mountain, and bought a map in hand, which was very important.

Song Lan's storage bag contained a deer cutting knife, a flying claw, a batch of pills for cultivation, and some pills for healing, two or three hundred thousand taels of silver tickets.

In addition, there is also a book of exercises, called Changhong through the heavens and the earth, Duan Tian knows that this exercise is the inheritance of the Duan family, and it is much more clever than the Flame Molten Gold Determination.

There is a sword technique, called the Breaking Wave Knife Method, which is also the inheritance of the Duan family, and it is much better than the Crazy Tiger Knife Method he originally learned.

The inheritance of the Duan family, many of the children of the Duan family are not qualified to study now, but the Song family is learning.

Duan Tian felt that the Duan family was sad now, and he should be regarded as the head of the Duan family according to reason, after all, he was the heir that the previous head of the family entrusted Duan Dezhi to find.

It's a pity that the current head of the family is being hunted down by the family people.

Song family, you wait, if I don't die, I will never let you go, and the Duan family will definitely be revitalized in my hands. Only in this way can he be worthy of his father-in-law.

After taking out the dry food, eating and drinking enough, he meditated for three hours, and Duan Tian, after recovering his energy, seized the time to cultivate.

Changhong was in a state of exhaustion, and he didn't have time to learn for the time being, so Duan Tian first learned the wave-breaking knife technique.

This sword technique is recorded in great detail, in addition to the moves and the heart method, this level of sword technique is also difficult to buy in Joyama Castle. It will also be very difficult for the average person to learn.

But Duan Tian was different from ordinary people after all, his biological father didn't know what level of existence it was. With his talent, although it was the first time to learn the Wave Breaking Knife Technique, Duan Tian did not feel the difficulty.

In just one day, Duan Tian learned three tricks.

One move is called bloody battle, offensive, one is called impermeable, defensive, and another is called spirit snake dispatch, which is used for sneak attacks.

This place was too close to Joyama Castle, and the pursuers would arrive soon, and Duan Tian didn't stay long and left quickly.

His biggest reliance now is only the Crispy Soft Pill, and now there are five left, so he must save it.

The last sneak attack on Song Lan was a surprise, Duan Tian believed that with the strength of the Duan family, even if the Crisp Soft Pill was powerful, they would definitely be prepared, and if they took a lot of antidotes, it might not be effective if they encountered the Song family's people chasing him again.

There are seven Longevity Pills, this Pill can increase Duan Tian's strength a little, and his physical strength is better, the effect may be more important than the Crispy Soft Pill, and it cannot be used easily.

Everything was calm outside, slowly walking out of the cave. Breathing in the fresh air and looking at the distant peaks, Duan Tian took a big step and headed towards the depths of the Black Phoenix Mountain Range.

Between the two large peaks in the Black Phoenix Mountain Range, a black pine forest about a hundred miles wide and a few hundred miles long, Duan Tianzheng was cautiously and slowly going, it was now the third day of his entry into the mountain, and he had already penetrated nearly eight hundred miles into the Black Phoenix Mountain Range.

These three days are like three years for Duan Tian, and the new life makes him have to adapt immediately, and if he doesn't adapt, he will die.

The Flying Claw, which had never been used, actually mastered the trick very quickly, and the Wave Breaking Knife Method also learned nine moves.

The biggest problem now is that the dry food is exhausted, and you have to hunt yourself. As for the ragged and unkempt clothes, he simply couldn't care about so much.

The black pines in this forest are more than 100 meters high, generally more than one meter in diameter, and there are some huge pine trees with a diameter of several meters, densely packed, and this forest is dark.

This is the famous hedgehog forest in the Heifeng Mountains, hedgehogs like to haunt here, the stems and vines of plants derived from the ground on the side of the pine trees are the favorite of these hedgehogs, and the pine nuts that fall down are also very fond of hedgehogs, and many fist-sized pine nuts will also fall into the ground.

But hedgehogs have a keen sense of smell and are good at digging the ground, no matter how deep they are, they can always be found. The hedgehog's mouth has fangs, which is convenient for digging and eating things underground, and there are several huge barbs on the back, which are extremely hard, which are the main attack weapons of the hedgehog, and also have a great effect on the defense of the back, so it is called the hedgehog.

The hedgehog is about one zhang long, about four or five feet high, the big hedgehog is bigger than the rhinoceros that Duan Tian saw in his previous life, weighing thousands of catties to 10,000 catties, and has an extremely fierce personality, and the barbs on his back are about three feet long, and the lethality is amazing. Of course, these barbs are also necessary to make some divine weapons, and the price is 10,000 taels of silver.

Thorn pork is also a blood food suitable for replenishing qi and blood, and the meat of a thorn pig can also be sold for 5,000 taels of silver, but small-scale hunting teams will not bring back thorn pork, and they are all eaten on the spot.

Hedgehog skin can be used to make armor, and the whole skin is worth about 10,000 taels of silver, so hunting a hedgehog will result in a pretty good harvest.

It's just that hedgehogs have always been collective actions, there are hundreds of them in many groups, and they are short-tempered, and people in the general gang realm are never willing to provoke, of course, if you are lucky, you can also meet some hedgehogs who are greedy and lonely.

In addition to the huge hedgehog, the black pine forest is infested with countless poisonous insects and snakes and scorpions, and the ground is overgrown with weeds and is by no means easy to pass.

Duan Tian had killed several poisonous snakes just now, Duan Tian would concentrate his mind, and he could clearly feel the movement of thirty meters around him, and the sound of poisonous snakes crawling in the grass could also be clearly heard.

Suddenly, there was a violent vibration from afar on the earth, and the vibration sound became louder and louder, as if the earth was shaking the mountains, Duan Tian knew that it was the hedgehog herd that came, and the hedgehog herd that went out in the morning was generally a relatively large group, so it could run rampant so unscrupulously.

The hedgehog herd has few natural predators here, and the green wolf pack is barely counted, but if it is a fight, there are usually casualties on each other.

The hedgehog is also afraid of the flying leopard, the flying leopard is pitch black, and the distance of the jump attack from the tree is quite far, it can reach hundreds of meters, as if it is really flying.

Duan Tian cautiously advanced in the black pine forest, most of it was to prevent the sneak attack of the flying leopard, hearing the sound of the hedgehog herd in the distance, Duan Tian did not hesitate, the flying claws came out, and gently swept onto the pine forest, hiding on the pine branches in the sky, carefully hidden.

The Hedgehog herd is a very sensitive beast, and if they find an enemy in a tree, they will inevitably break the tree and force the enemy down.

The group of hedgehogs slowly ran closer, led by a huge boar, running like a hill, the red mane on the head was about a few feet long, fluttering in the wind, and a few barbs on the back were pitch black and shiny, adding to the fierce atmosphere.

The herd of hedgehogs turned up the pine woodland with their huge fangs, and the ground rolled like a wave, picking up the vines and pine nuts in the field and eating them.

The older these stems and vines are, the deeper they are buried, the better they taste and the more nutritious they are, so the longer the tusks, the better the spiny pigs can eat.

The longer Duan Tian practiced the Hundred Refining Pure Heart Formula, the more he practiced the three major auxiliary effects. In such an environment, progress is faster.

He was already very proficient in hiding and sneaking, hiding on the branches of the pine forest, shrinking the breath on his body, and not leaking out at all. Patiently observe the movements of the hedgehog herd.

He now has to catch a hedgehog, on the one hand, to eat meat, and on the other hand, to create a leather armor out of the pig's skin.

As a blacksmith, although Duan Tian didn't bring a stove, some basic tools were still in the storage bag.
