Chapter 17: The Emerald Forest
The Emerald Forest covers an extremely large area, stretching for about 1,100 miles from south to north, spanning the five major provinces. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoWhether it is spring, summer, autumn or winter, it is verdant all year round, hence the name.
Tang Ze's first impression of this forest was that it was large, and almost all of the trees here were very tall, each of which was more than five feet thick and dozens of feet high. Then there is the denseness, the canopy and foliage of these trees are simply so dense that they almost obscure the sky, and walking in the emerald forest is like being in the evening, and it is rare for a bright light to shine directly through. It was even darker at night.
There are trees all in sight, and after a long time, it makes people irritable.
Under your feet, there is a thick layer of rotting leaves, which are so soft and muddy that you can't even tell where the ground is solid and where it is a dangerous swamp, the kind of swamp formed by the accumulation of fallen leaves and rotten trees, which has existed for I don't know how many years, and if you are not careful, you will fall into it and cannot extricate yourself.
And at any time and anywhere, it is possible to drill out poisonous insects, spiders and other dangerous creatures from leaves, trees, rotten soil and shrubs, and when encountering such a situation, Zhang Xueyi will be frightened and shiver in Tang Ze's arms.
The two of them were careful all the way, every night, they would find a cave to live in, if they couldn't find the cave, they would try to find a tree hole to spend the night, and they almost encountered demon beasts several times, but fortunately, Tang Ze's spiritual sense was keen, once he sensed the kind of breath that made him feel creepy, he took Zhang Xueyi and immediately went around from afar, and successfully avoided it several times.
The little fox woke up halfway, Zhang Xueyi was overjoyed, and after giving it a piece of barbecue, the little fox stayed desperately, but when facing Tang Ze, he often showed a flattering look, as if he knew that he was the one who was in charge, and he was really a little cute thing with spirituality, in this lonely forest, it was a very good spiritual sustenance.
After three days of doing so, the direction is correct, but there are still at least ten days to go out of the Emerald Forest, and in the meantime, any accident can happen, so you must always be cautious. Except for sleeping, he didn't dare to stay for half a moment, because Tang Ze always felt that there was a faint dangerous aura coming from behind him, of course he knew that it was not an illusion, but the pursuers were looking for them, because he had seen the same goshawk several times.
When he had free time, he also tried to continue to cultivate the Taixu Innate Skill, and with the effect in the front, he recited it through the meridians over and over again, although there was no reaction, but he was never tired of it. In the next two days, he finally made sure that there was no danger of going mad, and he was simply cultivating while walking, sitting and lying, which was almost equivalent to all the time.
On the fourth day, there was a thunderstorm, the ground was full of water, a small tree hole in the pouring rain, like a boat that would capsize at any time, the two picked some dense branches and leaves to block the hole entrance, barely blocked the pouring rain, and then the two of them and a beast sat in a small dry corner in the tree hole and chatted, listening to the thunder outside, Tang Ze told a story called the fox demon Xiaocui, the light was bizarre, and the two little guys listened carefully to the side faces, feeling like the last three creatures in the apocalyptic world.
Occasionally, Zhang Xueyi would ask Tang Ze how she killed the kidnapper, but she asked in a curious tone, but if the plan did not succeed, what would be the consequences, she probably guessed something. Zhang Xueyi also mentioned the people who came to meet the other party, and even guessed their identities and numbers, which was not much different from Tang Ze's estimate. Her father is the prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he is a Confucian scholar in the Hanlin realm, and he is very good at educating his children, which can be seen from Zhang Xueyi.
For Zhang Weixian, the information in Tang Ze's memory is very limited, he can't see each other a few times a year, of course, he looks at it from a distance, and his memory of Tang San is also incomplete, most of them are just sporadic fragments, for this matter, Tang Ze also told Zhang Xueyi, for her questions, some of which he really can't answer.
The thunderstorm had been falling for two days before it had gradually subsided, and before it had completely stopped, the two of them had to set off again, for the feeling of danger in his heart was getting stronger and stronger, and the pursuers should be getting closer and closer to them.
The injuries on Tang Ze's body were basically healed, and even if the golden energy in his body recovered slowly, it had recovered nearly ninety percent in six days, which made the speed of the two of them speed up a lot. Soon after the two of them left the tree hole, the rain stopped completely, the sun hung in the sky again, and although the forest was still dark, the vision was much better.
"Little San, how long will it take to leave the Emerald Forest, I really want to have a serious meal. "What happened in the Emerald Forest made her desperate to get out of here, and the barbecue without any condiments for several days in a row was simply crazy.
Tang Ze cautiously observed the tall trees, tangled vines, flowers that exuded a strange smell, and the bewitching mushrooms that suddenly appeared after the rain, which could bring them mortal danger, in fact, he had always been in a state of imminent battle, his whole body was restrained, ready to go, after hearing Zhang Xueyi's question, he still continued to look around vigilantly, and comforted: "At least seven or eight days." Rest assured, we will definitely be able to go back. Rushing in the Emerald Forest, unlike the official road, it is not the poisonous insects and beasts that pose the greatest threat to us, nor the pursuers behind, but those terrible demon beasts. ”
"Their meat is delicious. ”
"That's nature, but when they're alive, they're a terrifying creature. Do you have an impression of the steward of the stable, the fourth-layer cultivation of the True Qi Realm, his leg was bitten off by a fierce demon beast. ”
"Ah, it turns out that the demon beast is so terrifying, Lu is very good at managing others, and I heard that few people in the martial arts hall can beat him. ”
"yes, so you can't rush, I'd rather walk slower than bump into ......"
Tang Ze suddenly stopped talking, frowned and stared to the left, he suddenly felt a coldness in his heart, it was not strong, he had already sensed it carefully, there should be no demon beasts around, besides, powerful creatures like to divide their own territory, there is a relatively fixed hunting area, and they will not leave their territory easily.
At this moment, a black poisonous snake suddenly sprang up from the pile of soft and rotten leaves under his feet and bit Tang Ze's calf.
Tang Ze kicked it out, with a crisp sound, hitting the seven inches of the poisonous snake, taking advantage of the situation, kicking it out of Zhang Xueyi's sight, and landing in the pile of rotten branches and leaves in the distance.
As soon as he retracted the kicking foot, Tang Ze saw that in the pile of leaves, on the big trees, in the soil, almost every corner, countless poisonous insects, rats and ants surged out, desperately fleeing in one direction. The mind was suddenly enveloped by a cold cold, that is...... Deadly danger is coming!
"Woooo
Almost at the same time, Tang Ze heard the panicked howl of a wild boar in the distance, and farther away, a tree was falling, and a creepy aura was rapidly approaching......
Tang Ze didn't think about it, rushed to Zhang Xueyi's side, held her in his arms, and ran forward desperately.
"He's it, say Cao Cao Cao will be there...... It's been raining thunderstorms for two days in a row, and the monsters are going to come out to hunt!"
Tang Ze secretly scolded himself for being careless, and the speed was even faster.
