Chapter 296: Road Encounter
Entering this place, Fang Yan also breathed a sigh of relief, the rest of the trip was finally easier.xshuotxt.com - who knew that the result was the opposite, he thought that it should be the safest place on the road, but it was full of dangers, more dangerous than the previous places that were prone to robbers, because he missed the calculation that there were more difficult guys in the sky than robbers.
The dialect is thousands of calculations, but I never thought that after entering this vast mountain, there will be constant trouble. Although there are no robbers on the ground here, there are large groups of demon birds flying in the sky from time to time, and when they see their flying boats in dialects from afar, they will swarm after them, and they appear in groups, and the number is very large each time, otherwise maybe Qingluan will be interested in subduing one or two.
And once it is surrounded, it is very troublesome, these demon birds are usually huge, and the sharp claws and beaks used in the attack are very sharp, even if people can dodge, how can the flying boat dodge, only one attack, the flying boat almost fell apart.
And these demon birds will also cooperate with each other, making it difficult for them to fight back, and they can't hit them at all, and if these demon birds use their huge wings to fan the demon wind, no one can control the flying boat, and watch it fall in a straight line. After two such dangers, after Fang Yan rescued the others with seven hands and feet, he no longer dared to drive the flying boat, not even the flight of the imperial sword, so he could only walk honestly from the ground.
Looking at the boundless mountains in front of him, Fang Yan almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, how many years and months would this have to go before he could reach Wangyun City. Everyone was extremely depressed, and Fang Yan's heart was full of embarrassment, although everyone didn't say anything, but Fang Yan knew that this time he brought everyone into the ditch.
Put away the flying boat and hold it in his hand, looking at the scarred surface, which is full of deep scratches, and there are a few shocking places, it seems that if you don't find a refining shop to overhaul it, even if you don't dare to use it indiscriminately, otherwise it may disintegrate directly in mid-air.
"Follow me, Qingluan is in charge of breaking the back. "No matter how bad the situation is, morale cannot be lost, and some of this large mountain range will be gone. Fang Yan then took a big stride, leading everyone through the forest, running to the front from time to time to explore the way, and from time to time flying up into the air to check the direction, but he did his duty.
It's just that the speed of the next few days is really unsatisfactory, and the daily travel is not more than two or three hundred miles, which is still the result of everyone's physical strength. At this pace, the time to reach Wangyun City will be postponed, at least three months later, it is desperate to say it, I am afraid that the catastrophe has already come by then, right?
The only advantage of traveling on the ground is that it is relatively safe. This is not as good as Hujun Mountain, it is already located in the inland of Nanyue Country, there are no particularly powerful demon beasts in the mountain range, but there are not many cherished spirit grasses, it is a barren forest, and it is estimated that few people come here, but for some reason there are many demon birds.
After a few days, when they walked into the depths of the mountains, they 'figured' the reason, it turned out that this mountain forest was full of demons and insects, which was simply everywhere, adding to the troubles of the group. And these are the favorite foods of demon birds, no wonder there are so many demon birds, I am afraid that many of them have come here to forage for food.
In this way, in addition to trekking hard in the muddy mountains every day, they have one more thing to deal with, to deal with these sudden demon insects. In fact, the strength of these demon insects is not strong, there is almost no threat to a single demon insect, and the young disciples in the clan can easily kill them, but it is very troublesome if there are many of them, and most of these insects are poisonous, if a few of them are poisoned by insects, they will not be able to get out of here for a year.
The most infuriating thing is that every time I try my best to kill them, I can't get anything useful, and I can't even 'mix' a bite of food, which is completely in vain. However, Fang Yan suddenly remembered one thing, that is, the Ten Thousand Poison Beads on his body, although he didn't know what these insect poisons did, he still patiently put them away and put them into the Ten Thousand Poison Beads.
Everyone looked at him and didn't even let go of these insects, and bothered to collect the remaining body fluids from the insects into a bead, and didn't say much. As for the value of these things, they don't bother to think about it, and if they kill it, the others won't be their turn to 'worry'.
Buried in the mountains and forests for a month, they didn't even 'touch' the edge of this mountain, every day is a boring rush, looking at the same scenery around the 'color', occasionally a group of demon insects, but become their best spice along the way, every time they meet can take the opportunity to vent the depression in their hearts, these insects are not as disgusted as they were at the beginning, but feel more cordial.
The only thing that made them dissatisfied was that these insects could not be eaten, and there were few spiritual 'medicine' spiritual grasses in the woods, plus the spiritual energy here was very thin, and there were almost no things to replenish spiritual power and physical strength, so they could only rely on the pill 'medicine' and a small amount of food provided by the dialect to maintain the consumption on the road. And these things don't taste very good, and a bird will fade out of their mouths, and I really want to meet a few demon beasts to open meat.
Maybe it's because of the demon insects everywhere, squeezing the living space of the demon beasts, or maybe these demon insects are the nemesis of the demon beasts at all, anyway, since they entered this mountain, except for the demon birds in the sky, they haven't seen the demon beasts running on the ground. And the dialect is even more distressed, a large number of materials prepared with great effort are being consumed rapidly every day, but there is a person here, and the amount used together is really a lot.
There seems to be no end in sight ahead, and everyone's patience is being exhausted day by day, and this seemingly dangerous mountain forest may trap them here for a long time. There is also the catastrophe that is 'pressing' step by step, and I don't know what the situation is at this time, and I have been out for nearly two months, and there is no news at all.
Just when everyone was worried, a few days later they suddenly made a new discovery, they found traces of pedestrians walking in the forest. The dialect immediately became suspicious, who would dare to determine who these people were in this inaccessible place, but now they could not see the way out for a while, if they could follow them, it would be possible to leave this ghost place earlier.
The men immediately got together to deliberate, and finally decided that Fang Yan would go to investigate first, and if there was no danger, they could go with them, and the precautions against strange monks were the same everywhere. Soon, Fang Yan caught up with the group in front of him, and followed them for some distance stealthily, roughly understanding what kind of team it was.
Judging by the situation, they are the same as themselves, and they are also a family fleeing team, with only four people, almost all of them injured, which is not as good as the situation of their own group. Moreover, the cultivation of these people is not very high, only one of the 'female' cultivators who led the team is in the late stage of Qi refining, and the other three young men are all in the middle stage of Qi refining, so it is conceivable that they have fallen into such a situation.
However, they seemed to be quite familiar with the place, and there was no need to fly into the air to check the terrain like a dialect, and it seemed that this was not the first time they had walked here. Fang Yan immediately returned, and as soon as he talked about the situation with the Lin clan, after a few brief discussions, everyone decided to follow, their combat strength was not to be feared, so there was no need to worry too much.
It's just a matter of contact with them, but you can't come forward by dialects, only the Lin family is the best at doing this kind of thing, not to mention that the other party is also a 'female' cultivator. The group immediately sped up, and under the leadership of Fang Yan, they quickly caught up with the four people, and when they saw Fang Yan and the others suddenly appearing behind them, several people immediately became flustered, and instinctively took out the magic weapon.
"A few Taoist friends don't panic, they are surnamed Lin, these are all disciples of my family, who came from afar and strayed into this mountain forest. There is no malice in finding a few people, they just want to help each other and pass through this place together, I don't know what a few people think?" Lin Shi tried to speak as gently as possible, and said to the 'female' cultivator who was led by the other party.
"Family disciples? By the way, under the surname Du, these are all disciples of my Du family, and they are 'wanting' to go to Guiyun Mountain, I don't know where they are going?"
"Oh, it turned out to be Du Daoyou, but it was a coincidence. In the next surname Lin, Daoyou's surname is Du, there is a wooden character in the surname, or in this wooded place, it is a coincidence, could it be that this is the will of heaven, so that we are destined to be here? Du Daoyou does not need to worry, I am going to Wangyun City, and when we get out of this mountain forest together, we will go alone. Lin said with a smile, looking naturally familiar, and got involved with her in a few words.
Fang Yan can't help but admire a little, he is worthy of being a good businessman, and he becomes very enthusiastic with people as soon as he meets, which also requires a bit of ability. Over there, the Lin clan quickly talked and laughed with this 'female' cultivator, they were all from the family, they had a lot of common languages, and the dialect was not idle, after greeting them, they kept walking forward, and at the same time found a young disciple to chat, wanting to put some words from the side.
After all, they don't know each other, and the least precautions are essential. Who knew that without waiting for the dialect to ask more, the Lin family over there had already found out all their origins, and the 'female' cultivator had become tearful at this time, and several Du family disciples were also silent.
It turned out that this Du family was a small family located on the edge of the mountains, and there were only more than ten monks in the clan. In the end, in order to preserve the bloodline, the patriarch ordered her to quietly leave with a few young disciples and walk through the mountain forest to Guiyun Mountain, where it is said that there is a stone fort, which is the best place to escape from robbery nearby.
Although they have grown up in the mountains since they were children and are very familiar with this place, the journey is not easy, mainly because of their lack of combat strength, coupled with the haste and insufficient preparation when they leave, which makes them a little embarrassed along the way.
However, it is better for them to speak dialects, because they are very familiar with the situation in this mountain, and they are also very experienced in dealing with these demon insects, and they don't need to worry about food, so they don't have to worry about eating and drinking here.
After a few days, Fang Yan really saw their ability, and I believe that what they said before was not a lie, and many of them were the experience gained by living in the mountains and forests for a long time. For example, when the insect swarm attacked, they did not simply kill hard, but would first take out a piece of wood from their bodies, throw it in the opposite direction, and wait for a large number of demon insects to be lured away, and then quickly kill a bloody way to escape.
