Two days later,
"Roar"
There are vast mountains with huge trees reaching into the sky. There are bursts of terrifying roars of beasts, roaring through the mountains and forests. From time to time, beasts can be seen in the sky, casting huge shadows on the dense forests below, and then slamming into the mountains and forests, causing a earthquake.
The whole mountain range is full of a primitive and wild atmosphere, which is completely different from the northern scenery of Shu.
Among these vast mountains, there is a magical and magnificent river. The water is cyan-gold in color, and the sparkling water has a brilliant metallic luster.
The Qingjin River meanders between the mountains, with cliffs thousands of feet high on both sides. From time to time, some unknown roars can be heard from the dense forests on the edge of the cliffs.
On this day, a strange singing voice was heard from a forest on the edge of a cliff.
"My king, you asked me to patrol the mountain!"
"bang"
"bang"
"."
I saw a monster standing on two legs, about 12 feet tall, with gray hair all over its body, pointed ears, dog nose, and sharp teeth on its mouth, at the foot of a mountain about 300 feet high on the edge of the cliff. There was a black flag with a red border on its back, a bell hanging from its waist, and a clapper in its hand. It was humming leisurely as it walked down the mountain and shuttled through the mountain paths.
Just then, a voice sounded behind the little demon.
"Brother Yao, please stay!"
"Hmm?" The little demon with pointy ears and gray hair moved his ears, stopped the clapper in his hand, stopped walking, and turned his head.
But on the mountain path, a few feet behind it, there was a monster with golden monkey hair, red horse face, and a height of two feet. It was looking at it with a hint of amusement in its eyes.
When the little demon saw the ape demon, his rat eyes immediately turned fierce, and he picked up the bell at his waist, "Which mountain are you from? What are you doing sneakily?"
The golden-haired ape demon smiled, looking a little ugly and ferocious, and said in a muffled voice, "Brother demon, please don't blame me. I was practicing in the mountains and got lost. I accidentally broke in here and wanted to ask what kind of place this is?"
As he spoke, the ape demon flipped his hand and threw something at the little demon.
It is a bunch of spiritual fruits similar to grapes, green and dark like emeralds.
The little demon took the spiritual fruit, sniffed it with hissing nose, and his rat eyes lit up. His fierce expression with bared teeth disappeared, and he snorted with satisfaction. Then he looked at the golden-haired ape demon, raised his head, and said:
"So he's a newly-established fairy from the outskirts of town."
As he spoke, he raised his hairy paw, raised his thumb, pointed behind his shoulder, and said proudly, "This is Stone Demon Ridge. The area within a radius of 300 miles is under the jurisdiction of my king. How powerful is it?"
"I see that your throat bone has been trained. If you want to be more virtuous, I can introduce you to my king. You will have food and drink, and you don't have to practice in the wild. Recently, this place has been uneasy. There are reports of strangers coming from outside. Even my king is nervous and asked us to patrol the mountains."
The little demon had a lively expression, with a smug and a hint of greed on his face, wanting to get more spiritual fruits.
"Oh?" The golden-haired ape demon's pupils moved.
"Forget it. Your king only governs 300 li. I was practicing in the wild before. There was a king in Langdang Mountain with 800 li who wanted to recruit me as his subordinate, but I didn't follow him. I have no future."
With that said, he turned to leave.
"Don't go. My king is from the Night Fish Clan, and he has Luwu Mountain behind him. The thousands of miles of land that the Zegeng Water passes through is all Luwu Mountain territory. What do you know about the wild ways of practicing in the mountains?" The little demon moved his claws quickly, and jumped several feet away, blocking the golden-haired ape directly, pointing his finger to the sky with disdain. At the same time, the bell in his hand rang, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.
"Luwushan?" When the golden-haired ape demon heard the name, his pale golden pupils shrank slightly, and then he looked at the shifty little demon in front of him, then looked at the ringing bell in the other's hand, and opened his mouth, revealing his fangs. After a few breaths, the mountain road was empty, and the little demon disappeared.
Not long after, the golden-haired ape monster appeared at the bank of the golden-green river more than a dozen miles away. Then it leaped into the river.
The moment it entered the water, the huge ape's body turned into a big silver fish. Then it swung its tail and swam towards the depths of the river.
The shallows of the river here are dotted with jade-green stones of varying angles, which make the river water look dreamy.
The "big fish" swam for a while and came to the mud at the bottom of the river which was about three hundred feet deep. At this time, the river bottom was pitch black. In the dark river water, the big fish suddenly changed and a figure appeared. There was a golden light flashing in the eyes of this figure, shining directly on the river bottom, where there was a pool of ink-like river water.
The man's figure flashed and he rushed straight in.
"boom"
A pair of feet landed on a deck.
Soon, the sound of clothes fluttering in the wind was heard, and several figures appeared around.
"Jiu Zhonglang, how is it outside?"
"Have you found out where we are?"
The person who spoke was a big man with a strong body and a full beard. He was Hu Yanqing, the Mountain Shaking Tiger of Tai Sui Mountain. His pair of big copper bell eyes stared at Chen Yuan, who was wearing green clothes and frowning in front of him.
Following him were Jade Unicorn Jin Yushan and Mad Blade Yuwen Guang. They looked at Chen Yuan's expression, looked at each other, and felt something was wrong.
They had narrowly escaped from the hands of the big demon two days ago, fell out of the teleportation channel, and were "stranded" at the bottom of the river with the big ship. However, there had been movement from time to time outside in the past two days, because everyone had been injured at the hands of the dragon-tiger demon. Just in case, they had not shown up and were hiding on the deck of the ship to heal their wounds.
As for why they were only on the deck and not in the cabin, it was because the cabin door was tightly closed, as if they were not welcome to enter the ship, as if there was a consciousness. Fortunately, the fog on this ship was very strange and could isolate the breath!
At this time, in addition to the three people from Taisui Mountain, there was a group of people staying in the corner of the deck. When they saw Chen Yuan appear, they started to make a commotion, but their eyes were filled with fear and they did not dare to come forward. They were the group of people from the Fang family.
Their ancestor was sitting cross-legged with his eyelids slightly raised, not knowing what he was thinking.
"We are now in the Luwu Mountain area. This river is called Zegeng River. It flows southward and flows into Pangshui River. There is a lot of green jade in the river." Chen Yuan mentioned the name of this river and this area.
When Hu Yanqing heard Chen Yuan casually mention the name of this place, its abundant products, and its specialties, he thought that this was a place familiar to Chen Yuan, the Lieutenant General of Shu, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but then he heard Chen Yuan continue,
"There is a beast in this water, called Gu Diao. It looks like an eagle but has horns. It makes sounds like a baby and likes to eat people!"
After Chen Yuan finished speaking, Hu Yanqing finally reacted and glared at him.
"This"
"It seems that we have fallen into the Ten Thousand Mountains!" Jin Yushan, the Jade Unicorn next to him, reacted faster and said with a strange expression.
Gu Diao, this is one of the ten evil creatures. They have fallen into the lair of this vicious monster.
When they heard that they had fallen into the lair of the Ten Evils, the Fang family disciples immediately panicked and made some loud noises that were very annoying.
Chen Yuan glanced at these people with a fierce look in his eyes, then turned his head and looked at the three people from Taisui Mountain.
"According to the records of our Daofu Division, Luwu Mountain is deep in the mountains. Even though there are demons everywhere in the Ten Thousand Mountains, if we are careful, it shouldn't be a problem to cross it. However, based on the information we got from the little demons in the nearby mountains and the noise outside in the past two days, I guess that the big demon should know that we have fallen in. It's possible that the demons are setting up a trap to wait for us, so it may not be easy for us to cross it."
"It's better to do the opposite!" (End of this chapter)
