Chapter Forty-Eight: The Rocky Mountains and Forests Can't Get Out
After leaving the range of Wuxiang County, the surroundings immediately fell into darkness, although the large array that controlled the weather covered a huge area, no matter how powerful a person was, there was no need to spread the formation into this uninhabited rock formation. Not only that, but even the air here became humid after losing the large array of sunlight, but I didn't expect the ground above my head to be so barren, but it was like this here.
It is precisely because of this climate that the rock formations that were originally condensed into a piece have been corroded a lot, and they have formed mountain peaks under natural carving, which is somewhat like the mountains of the Lingxiao Realm, but at the same time, there are naturally towering rock formations that have not been completely corroded, and still support the continent above.
"Gu Xuyao, do you believe me or not? If it weren't for the quiet rain that made me see the ancient characters in front of Wuhuiding, I wouldn't know that it was the object of my senior brother's latest research, think about it, if you hadn't listened to my words just now and let Mengmeng drip her own blood on Wuhuiding, how would you have eliminated the prohibition in your body? The master's blood is the greatest nutrient for Wuhuiding!"
What Ren Feiren said was right, Gu Xuyao saw it in his eyes before and after the incident, and he also agreed with the suspicion of Green Xiaoding, but this is indeed not an easy thing for Mengmeng to accept, not to mention that according to Gu Xuyao's observation, this time, in addition to the power it already has, it seems that something is more wrong.
"Okay, let's not talk about that, let's figure out how to get out of here. Saying that, Gu Xuyao landed on a certain mountain peak at will, and he had just experienced a fight. Although he was not injured, he was also affected by the qi wave, and it was right to try to keep himself in the best condition at this time.
When it comes to the question of how to leave, Meng Meng and Ren Feiren are silent, and the temporary joy is immediately replaced by loss and worry, yes, in this dark area, not to mention the exit, there is not even light.
When they came in, they were kidnapped by Huang Dagang, so they had no idea where Huang Dagang entered here from and how they entered. The only useful thing was that Gu Xuyao remembered that at that time, he clearly felt that the ground had cracked. After that, Huang Dagang flew in all the way......
......Just when Gu Xuyao was meditating with his eyes closed, there was a sound in the quiet rock formation.
At this time, the place where Gu Xuyao was located was not flat, and many of the rugged caves around him looked like a hiding place
Sharp, he immediately opened his eyes and locked in the direction of the sound, the underground world was hot and humid and windless. It stands to reason that there should never be a sound coming out of this kind of place.
"Could it be the pursuers of Wuxiang County? No. They couldn't have found me so quickly. And even if they chase after me, they won't dodge, there are many monks in Wuxiang County who are higher than me, and they must come with great fanfare to catch me. â
After repeatedly confirming what he was thinking, he became even more curious about what it was. Gu Xuyao stood up and slowly moved towards the place where the sound came from.
The stones in the underground rock formations are hard, but they are inseparable from the dampness in the air, and the ground always feels like a mist of water.
As Gu Xuyao approached, the strange sound became louder and louder, his brows furrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but pull out the hug moon, although the thunder armor had not yet appeared, there was also an electric current swimming.
It seemed to sense Gu Xuyao's approach, and the storage zĂ i in the cave also responded accordingly, and a layer of light blue Yuanli net appeared out of thin air to block the entrance of the cave. The strength of this Yuan Force is not high, and it is not a threat to Gu Xuyao at all, but he is not careless, it is entirely possible that this is a trap deliberately released by the enemy in order to paralyze himself.
"Who's there?"
â......â
The other party didn't react, just continued to make a rustling sound, Gu Xuyao's mind quickly turned, he took out the common fire talisman from the hundred treasure gourd, this kind of thing is mostly used for lighting or making fire, and then it is to break a small hole in the Yuanli network, activate the fire talisman and throw it in.
"Huh......" I don't know if it was caused by the light or the heat of the fire talisman, the things inside actually made a painful sound, and the firelight shone, and Gu Xuyao finally saw the other party's appearance.
It was a very short man, no, a dwarf to be exact, he was only about the height of Meng Meng, but his face was already covered with beards, his hands and feet were very large, they were all calloused, it seemed that he never wore shoes and was often engaged in hard labor.
"This ...... Fellow Daoist, I don't know ...... you"
"Ahhhhhhh......h
Gu Xuyao tried to talk to him, but he waved his hand desperately, as if he wanted to extinguish something, and then Gu Xuyao finally thought of it, and hurriedly helped him to extinguish the fire talisman on the ground, and then he stopped his crazy movements and gasped.
Panting for a while, his eyes that could see at will in the dark looked at Gu Xuyao.
"You are human, why are you here, don't we have a treaty not to invade each other's territory? Recently, you humans have come to our territory too much, if this continues, our clan will launch a counterattack!"
The dwarf could speak human language, which surprised Gu Xuyao, but he was surprised not only by this, but also by the content of his speech.
"Promise? I can't hide it, I'm not the one who wants to go, I'm chased and killed by them so I ran into this rock formation, I'm just trying to save my life, I don't mean to offend at all, if this is the territory of the nobles, then I'll leave immediately." â
"Leave, where are you leaving? Everywhere except Wuxiang County is from our Tugo clan, hmph, you know how to use spells, wait, you said you were hunted down by the people of Wuxiang County? Oh, what is this Wuxiang County doing, why have so many people been forced out by them recently. â
The dwarf's words got to the point, Gu Xuyao's expression was solemn, and he asked, "Did you say that a lot of people have entered your territory recently?" I know that the nobles must be a very kind race, so they should be placed somewhere at the moment, right?"
Although it is dark here, Gu Xuyao can still see the other party's expression at close range, and at this time, the dwarf showed a surprised expression, and said: "You are quite smart, well, you are almost the smartest human I have ever seen, Pulu likes you! Okay, since you want to meet other humans, then I will take you there, anyway, the patriarch also said that if you meet a human to seek refuge, you will also take it to that place." â
This matter happened to be in line with Gu Xuyao's wishes, he bowed his head slightly, and followed the self-proclaimed Tulu dwarf of the Tugo clan, and flew towards the depths of the rocky mountains and forests.
Along the way, the two talked and laughed, Pulu is actually a very simple person, he said that in fact, the relationship between the Tugo tribe and humans was actually very good at the beginning, when the homeland of the Tugo tribe was still established on the ground, unlike humans, the Tugo people are very kind-hearted, and never interact with other people with their hearts, and gradually the human beings who know this began to act ruthlessly.
Legend has it that the Tugo clan has a total of four holy relics, and the holy relics will be of great benefit after they are collected, and even Pulu doesn't know what they are, and it is for this reason that the Tugo clan has been hit by destruction.
At the beginning, the Turks did not react when the humans attacked, and then the Turks took up arms and started a war for the survival of their race.
The Tugo clan is indeed a very talented race in cultivation, even the most stupid clansmen can cultivate to the third-order realm, but unfortunately the Tugo clan does not like to fight, although they are talented and intelligent, they do not practice the Tao diligently, in the end they lost the war, and the holy relics are nowhere to be found, and the remnants of the Tugo clan can only hide underground and live a dark life.
"Hmph, some of you bastards among humans are really annoying, especially the guards of Wuxiang County, who often enter our territory for no reason regardless of the agreement, and that's not all, they seem to be looking for something, digging everywhere. â
Speaking of these things, Pulu was also angry, but Gu Xuyao didn't say a word, listening quietly on the side.
According to Pulu, the territory of the Tugo clan in this underground is far larger than that of Wuxiang County, but they still make the old mistake of being too kind, and once they settle down, they don't want to interfere with anything else, so even after Wuxiang County enters the underground world and establishes a kingdom, they only propose an agreement not to interfere with each other, rather than forcibly asking them out.
"The original Wuxiang County was very good, the patriarch at that time and the county lord of Wuxiang County were also very chatty, we had a period of time and even as long as it was not a big thing, we could cross the border at will, but recently I heard that Wuxiang County changed the county lord, and what the new county lord did was not likable, anyway, I also know what it was, in short, the patriarch was angry, so he ordered us to strictly follow the agreement. â
It turned out that Pulu was a "soldier" in the Tugo tribe, and his task was to reconnoiter near the border, and he would warn him if there was a monk who crossed the border, but Pulu's character was cowardly and did not like to cultivate, and he did not dare to take the initiative to stand up and stop it in front of the monks who cultivated higher than himself, until Gu Xuyao took the initiative to step forward and confirmed that he was not a bad person.
"I see, Brother Pulu, how far are we going?" At this time, it has been about seven days since I chatted with Pulu all the way, and the rocky mountains and forests are still spreading like that, but the air is getting drier and drier.
"Now, it's not far ahead, you should be able to see it, we Tugo people have been underground for too long, and we are not used to fire, and the place where there is firelight is the gathering place of you diaspora monks. "Looking through Pulu's thick black and short fingers, there is indeed a place where the lights are bright. (To be continued......)
