A round of red sun rose, and Min Xiaorong came out of the tent and found that Taichen had been meditating on the stones and practicing.

Taichen also saw Min Xiaorong, he hurriedly suppressed his breath, stopped practicing, jumped off the stone, and said, "Rong'er woke up, did you sleep well last night?"

Min Xiaorong nodded.

Taichen hurriedly handed her a roasted pheasant, Min Xiaorong looked at him suspiciously, Taichen smiled mischievously: "I caught a pheasant after going to the mountain in the morning, and it was roasted, waiting for you to get up and eat." ”

Min Xiaorong's heart was sweet, she took it and tore it in half, and handed the large portion back, Taichen smiled: "You eat, you eat first." ”

Min Xiaorong shoved it into his hand: "Can I eat so much?

Taichen smiled, happily nibbling on the roast chicken, Min Xiaorong praised it for being delicious, she really felt that it was the most fragrant chicken she had eaten during this time.

After the two of them had breakfast, Taichen said: "We are going up the mountain, the southeast slope is a little gentler, there are some inconspicuous steps, and there are many rattans, which should be what people call the ladder! I have turned the whole mountain twice, and the rest of the mountain is full of cliffs, and there is no way to climb it." ”

Min Xiaorong smiled brightly: "Then let's go up the ladder!" It turned out that early in the morning, Taichen had already made so many preparations, and he was really a careful person!

Came to the foot of the "ladder", as Taichen said, sure enough, the slope here is a little gentle, and there are trees and rattans and the like, people can climb up from here.

Min Xiaorong was about to take a step, but Taichen stopped her: "Wait." I saw him take out a rope from his bag as if he was juggling, and tied one end to Min Xiaorong's waist and the other end to his waist.

Min Xiaorong felt ridiculous: "What are you doing, are you afraid that I will fall down, I grew up in the mountains and forests, climbing mountains and trees is my strength, and I often compete with monkeys at that time?"

Taichen hurriedly begged and said, "Rong'er, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid of height, I'm afraid of falling down." ”

Min Xiaorong smiled knowingly, and didn't care about him, the two began to climb the mountain, ordinary people are climbing to the sky, commonly known as: Shu Road is difficult to go to the sky, what is more difficult than climbing to the sky! Relying on hand pulling, foot pedaling, it is not easy to go up this ladder, but for people like Taichen and Min Xiaorong, in fact, it is not as difficult as imagined, they jumped up quickly, and they went up to the first layer in a short time, passing through a small pine forest, and a large piece of flat land appeared in front, with some bushes scattered in the middle. The weeds, the most, are piles of loose loess mounds, the big ones are more than a meter high, and the short ones are only half a foot high, densely packed, one by one.

In the distance, there is a narrow road up the hill hidden in the bushes, which is supposed to be a passage to continue the uphill, right?

When you reach the opposite side, you have to cross this piece of yellow earth, Min Xiaorong raised her feet and was about to walk into the mound, ready to walk over, and then continue up the mountain from the mountain road, but was grabbed by Taichen and dragged back, she looked at him angrily.

Taichen waved his hand to her, brought a big stone from his side, and threw it into the mound, when the stone hit the ground, it suddenly made a "buzzing" sound from the ground, and even felt the ground shake, and many black ants crawled out of the mound, and went straight to the stone, and suddenly the stone was buried in the black ant tide, the scene was really terrifying.

Min Xiaorong stuck out her tongue, glanced at Taichen with grateful eyes, and said, "How do you know?"

Taichen took a deep breath and said, "Everyone knows that there are three levels: the ant array, the mouth of the heavenly cliff, and the phantom canyon. Isn't this ant formation an ant's nest? Look, these loose mounds of yellow clay are ant dens, and it's really terrifying that there are so many large and small ones! If you look closely, are there a lot of white bone residues in them?"

"Yes, it's really bones. Min Xiaorong's eyes widened.

"Human bones, and even more of all kinds of animal bones, all of them were killed by mistake in the ant field and devoured by ants. Taichen explained, "But how are we supposed to get over now?"

"There's no way to get through it, so we have to destroy them all before we can get through. ”

Taichen looked at Min Xiaorong in confusion: "Can we destroy them and stone them to death, or can we stab them to death one by one with our swords?"

Min Xiaorong smiled mysteriously: "I have stabbed ant nests in the mountains since I was a child, and they are most afraid of water and fire, and flooding and fire can destroy this ant position." ”

Taichen nodded approvingly: "But there is no water here, and there is no fuel for the fire!

"You don't need a lot of fuel, ants and ant nests are the best fuel, and they're guaranteed to burn to the point where nothing is left. Min Xiaorong grinned, "You see, pine branches are the most resistant to burning, just pick up some dried pine branches for fire." ”

So, the two of them re-entered the small pine forest, found a lot of dry pine branches, tied them into a few threads, and Min Xiaorong broke some short pine branches, sharpened one end, and smeared them with pine oil, and took out a slingshot-like thing from her bag.

Taichen snickered on the side, and Min Xiaorong glanced at him: "What are you laughing at?"

Taichen smiled: "It seems that Rong'er, you know a lot, even these boys in the mountains are so familiar with the things that the boys play, it's not wrong to say that you are a wild girl, even the wild bow is with you." ”

"This bow was made for me by my grandfather, I played with it since I was a child, and kept it as a souvenir, but I didn't expect to use it today. Min Xiaorong wasn't angry at all, she had begun to get used to his smiling face, and she thought it was fun and useful to be unserious. is not like those brothers and sisters in Kunlong Palace, one by one, they are serious, for fear of being accused by others of not doing their jobs, and they are also cautious when they see themselves, for fear of offending themselves, they rush to do everything for themselves, and they never dare to fight with themselves, it is not true, only Kunyin Peak Peak Lord Xue Yulong sometimes dares to criticize himself directly, but he also sincerely loves himself like a big brother, so she has the best relationship with Xue Yulong, and she also knows, I don't blame everyone, because she is the only princess of Kunlong Palace, everyone lets her, including her father, the palace master Min Yinan, let her have three points, because there are three grandfathers to protect her, and the most important thing is that there is a Taizu who also loves her the most, and wants to leave her with any good things, the four famous swords of Kunshan, the Longming Sword is hidden in the treasure room of Kunlong Palace as the sword of Zhenshan, and the Cangsoul Sword is given to Min Yinan, Linglong Sword, The two handles of the rainbow sword were given to her together, not even my sister, when she was a child, she was Taizu's little tail, it was difficult for others to see each other, she wanted to see it, Taizu never shirked, she often nestled in his arms with a fat little hand to caress his face, chin, and hands, at this time Taizu was the most prosperous, smiling with his eyes closed and humming a little song gently, he was an ordinary old man who was happy with his family. Grandpa and Daddy asked Taizu about something, and always begged her to pass on the message, Grandpa often touched her round little head and said: "Our family has two ancestors, an old ancestor and a small ancestor." It made her giggle.

Taichen put a few pine branches next to the ant position, he winked at Min Xiaorong, Min Xiaorong nodded, he took out the rope again, and threw it out at a pine branch, the rope grabbed the pine branch like a hand, Taichen pulled hard, the whole pine branch flew up out of thin air, and then turned around twice in the air, the rope suddenly scattered, and the pine branch ball flew into the open space, and finally landed in the center of the ant position, immediately attracting thousands of ants.

At the same time, Min Xiaorong had already lit a pine branch arrow, drew a bow, and as soon as she let go, the pine branch arrow with the flame was inserted into the pine branch ball, and the fire immediately burned, and the dry pine branch also ignited the ants and ant nests on the ground.

The two of them threw out all the pine branches as before, and then set them on fire, and suddenly seven or eight fires burned on the ant position, and the ants fled in all directions, and the flames spread in all directions, and the smoke billowed out, and the ant position became a sea of fire.

It burned for more than two hours before the flames slowly extinguished, and the ground was scorched black, full of ant cremation remains and scorched earth, and the disgusting smell of barbecue burnt paste was pungent and disgusting.

The two looked at each other and smiled, Taichen took out two small cloths, damped them with water, handed one to Min Xiaorong, and he covered the other piece of mouth and nose and tied a knot at the back of his head to make a mask, Min Xiaorong also took it, and the two of them prepared to pass through the scorched ant position.

Taichen squatted down before leaving, gently tested the temperature on the ground with his hand, and scratched the blackened cover on the ground with a long branch, nodded, and said: "The temperature on the ground is still very high, you can see that it is steaming, but there are no live ants on the ground, but we must pass quickly, there should be no problem." ”

Min Xiaorong nodded: "Then let's go over, after all, time is urgent, the sooner you invite the fairy girl, the less danger you will have." ”

"Hmm," Taichen wanted to sprinkle some water on his shoes, but was stopped by Min Xiaorong and threw two thick forks at his feet, and Taichen looked at her suspiciously.

She smiled shyly, charming sentient beings, looking at a Taichen stupid, the beauties in the world are enchanting, sinking fish and geese, and they can't replace this smile, innocent, natural, lovely, beautiful, refined, barbaric, he is more sure in his heart that she is her in this life and this life.

"Did you ever play stilt walking when you were a child?" Min Xiaorong saw his stupid appearance, so he patted him on the shoulder with a long sword, Taichen came back to his senses, "hehe" smiled, and hurriedly tied the fork to his feet like Min Xiaorong, and tried to walk.

"Shall we have a good game?" said Taechen.

"Okay, it's okay to play, but you have to bet, it's exciting to have a bet?"

"Well, it's really the palace master's daughter, okay, what do you say you want to bet on?"

"Or do you agree to the winner with a request, and don't let it go too far, how about it?"

"Okay, I'll listen to you, let's go. After the two finished speaking, they quickly sailed towards the opposite shore.

At first, the two walked side by side, Min Xiaorong was slightly ahead, and she shouted: "Why do you want me, don't you want to win this bet?"

Taichen's scud is that few people can win him, he smiled secretly, and with a little strength, he slightly surpassed Min Xiaorong. The two of them are fighting fiercely!

Suddenly, the sky collapsed, a big python burst out of the ground, and soon caught up with the backward Min Xiaorong, opened his bloody mouth, just when Qianjun was shot, a rope flew around Min Xiaorong's waist, and a strong force was thrown to the opposite side, but Taichen retreated due to the reaction force, and was directly swallowed by the giant python.

Min Xiaorong exclaimed, "Taichen,"

"Taichen"

"Taichen..."
