Chapter 25: The Jungle
Early the next morning. The east sun rises slowly, the warm sun shines on Zhongzhou City, and the glazed tiles on the buildings in the city are so dazzling and dazzling in the golden sunlight. Residents of the city wake up early to start their day. At this moment, the people bathed in the morning light, whether they are shopkeepers, hawkers, or even the most ordinary farmers, look so plain and natural.
Not far from the north gate of Zhongzhou City, there was a cyan steed with shiny hair galloping towards the north. Immediately carrying a handsome young man was Moyu.
Due to the delay in finding Moshi in the city for several days, in the early morning of this day, before dawn, Moyu bid farewell to the shopkeeper of Wangyue Tower and rushed towards Qinglong Mountain. The enthusiastic shopkeeper seemed to be worried that Moyu had delayed the trip, and specially prepared a thousand-mile horse for Moyu - "Absolute Dust", this horse has excellent endurance, travels thousands of miles a day and is tireless, it is a first-class BMW in Haiyun China, ordinary people are afraid that they have never seen it, and the shopkeeper actually did not hesitate to give such a BMW to Moyu, which shows his love for Moyu.
Before leaving, the shopkeeper once again instructed a few words of special attention on the way, and then watched Moyu leave...
"Da Da Da Da...""Absolute Dust" galloped quickly on the road, and the scenery on the side of the road quickly passed by both sides. Mo Yu's eyes flashed with essence, his face was firm, and he galloped in the direction of Qinglong Mountain...
To the north of Haiyun Country, there is a huge mountain range, which winds and stretches for thousands of miles. Looking down on the entire mountain range from a high altitude, you can see that this mountain is shaped like a giant dragon lying on a coil, so it is named and called the green dragon. In this green mountain, there is a towering peak, looking at the mountain from afar, the top shape is like a huge dragon head, the dragon head faces the sky, as if it is looking up to the sky and roaring, which makes people feel awe. This mountain is the place where the Wangyue Sect is located - Qinglong Mountain.
A few hundred miles south of Qinglong Mountain, a dense jungle heard the roar of wild beasts and the sound of fighting from time to time.
"Run, I'll hold it back. Anxious cries echoed through the woods.
In the dense forest, a sturdy young man with a slightly tanned skin was shouting at a few people behind him with an anxious face. Opposite the stout boy was a beast with green eyes.
The beast is small in size and shaped like a blue wolf, but it is slightly different in the subtleties. The blue-gray fur seems to blend with the surrounding green forest, and the four thick thighs look very explosive, and they are firmly grasping the ground at the moment, as if they may shoot out at any time, and the most bizarre thing is that a small handful of long hairs like cold rays at the end of its tail look like poisonous fangs that exude a cold breath and are swaying back and forth with the continuous flicking of the tail, which is terrifying.
"Roar..."The wolf-like beast let out a low roar, and its facial muscles bulged, revealing two rows of sharp teeth glowing with cold light, especially the two sharp jagged fangs on the top and bottom, which were even more shocking.
The sturdy young men present looked at the unknown beast in front of them with frightened faces. Several of them had suffered various injuries to varying degrees, presumably from the previous fight with this wolf-like beast. Especially the sturdy boy who stands at the front. I saw that his left arm was wrapped with a gray strip of cloth, which had been soaked with oozing blood, and from time to time it was still dripping with red blood...
"You guys go quickly, if you don't go, you won't be able to leave!" the sturdy young man's eyes were bloodshot, and he yelled at the few people behind him with an anxious face.
If Mo Yu could recognize these people at a glance here, they were just a few of them who had passed the sect assessment in Zhongzhou City. And at this moment, the one who is confronting the wolf-like beast is the honest young man named Wang Dunhou.
Several people met by chance before entering this dense forest, because they had seen each other after passing the assessment a few days ago, so they walked together and took care of each other, but they never thought that they encountered this fierce wolf-shaped beast in front of them not long after entering the dense forest.
"How can we abandon you, if we want to go, we will go together! Or, we will fight with this beast today!" Wang Dunhou shouted with some excitement from a slightly thin young man, this person's name is Li Xiangyang, and he was the first to be read out of the list of those who passed the assessment.
"Yes, let's go together!" shouted several people behind him. These people are Liu Yue, Song Yingchun, and Sun Weijin. The last one is actually the only woman who passed this assessment - Ye Shiyun.
At this moment, Ye Shiyun's little face was flushed with a sickly flush, and the beads of sweat on his forehead were dense, obviously caused by the consumption of huge physical strength, and there was a thin wound on his right hand, which was trembling slightly.
Before the arrogant words of several people were finished, they saw the wolf-shaped beast on the opposite side bowing slightly, like a blue-gray sword shooting out, slaughtering...
"Ahh I saw that a trace of earthy yellow light flashed from Wang Dunhou's fist, and the speed of the wolf-like beast was obviously much faster, and it passed over Wang Dunhou's head in an instant.
The wolf-like beast in mid-air flashed its two front paws, and two sharp claws that emitted a cold glow appeared, and they were rushing towards the few people behind Wang Dunhou.
Wang Dunhou only felt that for a moment, he lost the trace of the wolf-shaped beast, and when he looked back, he saw that the wolf-shaped beast had already passed over him, revealing his cold claws to Li Xiangyang and the others. It was too late to turn around and rescue in a hurry.
Li Xiangyang and the others saw the wolf-shaped beast coming over, their eyes were about to split, they roared angrily, and they waved their weapons to slash at it...
"Woo woo woo ..." The claws of the wolf-shaped beast intersected with everyone's weapons, and everyone suddenly felt a huge force transmitted through the weapons in their hands, and their wrists shook, as if they couldn't hold the weapons in their hands, they took off their hands one after another, and their bodies involuntarily took a few steps back. On the other hand, the wolf-shaped beast was unscathed, fell to the ground, and continued to pounce on several people.
Wang Dunhou saw that everyone's weapons had fallen, his face changed greatly, and he rushed over quickly, clenched his fists and attacked the back of the wolf-shaped beast, so that the crisis of everyone behind him could be temporarily relieved. Unexpectedly, this beast was obviously very alert, and noticed Wang Dunhou rushing behind him. The beast didn't look back, only to see that the long and thin hairs at the end of its tail like a cold light instantly stood upside down, sweeping towards Wang Dunhou behind him like a sharp thorn...
The cold mang swept quickly, as if he felt the deadly aura contained in the oncoming cold mang, and Wang Dunhou could only retreat backwards and dodge. And in just a few breaths, the wolf-shaped beast pounced on the pale Li Xiangyang and the others again.
Li Xiangyang's weapon fell, and when he saw the wolf-shaped beast killed, he couldn't help but show a touch of madness in his eyes, and rushed straight towards the wolf-shaped beast, as if he wanted to die with it.
At this moment, a cold light shot out from the grass beside him, and shot straight at the head of the wolf-shaped beast.
The wolf-like beast with its body in the air could only watch as the cold light swept towards it because it could not borrow its strength. "Poof!", the wolf-like beast was split in two, killing instantly...
Seeing the sudden death of the wolf-shaped beast, the frightened crowd looked with joy in their eyes, and after a long sigh of relief, they looked at the grass beside them.
The grass shook slightly, and out of it came a teenager about the same age as everyone else. The young man was handsome, wearing a black gown, and a valuable lion-shaped jade pendant hanging from his waist.
As soon as they saw the young man, everyone recognized at a glance that this person was also one of the people who had passed the assessment, as if he was called Qin Fang. The eyes of the people who secretly sighed that they had escaped by luck showed gratitude, and they were about to step forward to say hello and thank them, but they saw Qin Fang indifferently glance at everyone, and his eyes showed a touch of disdain without shying away, and said indifferently: "A little thorn wolf can't deal with it, I really don't know how you passed the assessment." After speaking, before a few people reacted, they didn't look at everyone and left alone.
“......”
"Hmph, isn't it just a good tire, what's the big deal!"
"That's it, look at his eyes above the top and his toes high, just think about it!"
After listening to Qin Fang's words, everyone's faces were a little ugly, as if they felt humiliated, and Liu Yue and Song Yingchun, who were among them, turned red, and said angrily while panting.
"Don't talk about it, he saved our lives anyway, and it's natural that others have some tempers from extraordinary backgrounds. The honest Wang Dunhou smiled innocently, as if it didn't matter what others said about him.
Sun Weijin, who was on the side, flashed a faint glint in his eyes and was silent.
Seeing that Wang Dunhou said this, the two of them didn't say much, but just sat down on the spot to rest and recover their strength.
Wang Dunhou looked around and asked, "Are you all right?"
Everyone shook their heads to indicate that it was okay.
Wang Dunhou was about to sit down and rest, but inadvertently saw Ye Shiyun, the only woman among the crowd, leaning against the tree next to her, closing her eyes and saying nothing, and stepped forward and asked with concern: "Miss Ye, are you okay?"
Ye Shiyun, who seemed to be overdrawn, opened his eyes slightly and looked at Wang Dunhou, as if he was very weak, and shook his head slightly.
"Then you have a good rest for a while, let's wait a while and then go on the road" Wang Dunhou saw that he was conscious, but he was slightly tired, and he didn't say anything more, so he rested on the spot.
After about an hour, everyone's strength had recovered, and they set off again. Because of the previous experience, I no longer have the lightness and joy I felt when we first met. On the way, several people cheered up, paying attention to the wind and grass around them, and they could adapt to emergencies once they arose.
The crowd walked for a long time, and it seemed that they had reached the depths of the dense forest. The trees here are leafy, and some of them grow close to the height of a person. To the amazement of everyone. The forest is full of vegetation, dense jungle and overgrown with weeds, and if you are not careful, you will be tripped over all kinds of vines and unknown plants and trees.
"Be careful, I think there's something unusual here. Wang Dunhou had already put away his signature honest smile, at this moment he frowned, his eyes kept scanning the surroundings, he vaguely felt that the deeper he went, there was an unknown palpitation in his heart more and more intense.
Suddenly, a dull noise came from not far ahead.
"There's someone there!" whispered to someone else.
Everyone knew in their hearts that most of the people who could appear here were also people who had passed the assessment by going to Qinglong Mountain like themselves. It makes sense that my group of people should go and have a look, maybe they can help a little.
So, the crowd quickened their pace and walked briskly following the sound
Before Wang Dunhou and the others approached, suddenly, "Huh!" A sharp cold light swept over the bushes not far in front of everyone, like a sealed jungle that was instantly torn open, and Wang Dunhou and the others, who were standing not far away, couldn't help but look inside from this exposed opening
When everyone saw the situation in the jungle, their faces changed...
