The sun is high in the sky, the mountains are vast, and all things are growing wildly. It seems like two different worlds compared to the Shu land with its flying snow.
There is a cliff somewhere, bottomless and spanning for several miles, like the huge mouth of a giant beast, which scares birds when they see it.
Between the cliffs, there are dense red vines, like iron chains across the sky, spanning the cliffs, with sharp thorns on them. Among them grows a gorgeous fiery red flower, shaped like a sunflower, and is three or four meters tall.
At this time, a black bird of prey, two meters in size and with wings like black iron, passed over the cliff. Suddenly, the vines came to life, like the tentacles of a giant octopus, breaking through the air and shooting towards the black bird of prey like sharp arrows, blocking the void.
The black bird of prey was startled and uttered a sharp cry. Its two black claws, as sharp as iron hooks, grabbed and cut off the two flying red vines. At the same time, the black iron feathers on its wings stood up and suddenly vibrated, rushing forward like two sharp knives, cutting off the vines one by one, trying to break through the blockade. But there were too many thorny fire-colored vines, so dense that in the end, the vines entangled the screaming bird, and the sharp thorns penetrated into the bird's body through the gaps in the iron feathers.
Soon, the big bird that was struggling and screaming violently seemed to be poisoned. Its eyelids drooped, its struggle became slow, and its body became stiff.
"puff"
A vine as thick as a thigh pierced the bird's belly, and then like a python, it dragged the bird into the cliff and came to the big red flower that looked like the rising sun.
The big flower suddenly split open, revealing a row of black fangs. It opened its mouth wide and swallowed half of the big bird. Feathers and blood splattered everywhere. The muscles of the poisoned bird were still twitching, and it let out a wail.
At this moment, on the edge of the cliff, the originally empty void began to fluctuate, and then several human figures condensed like water splashes flew out one after another and landed on the edge of the cliff covered with weeds.
"Jiu Zhonglang, aren't we going deeper into the Shiwan Mountains? Why are we still heading north?" A rough voice sounded.
The Shiwanda Mountains are located in the southernmost part of Shu. Going deeper into them would naturally lead you to the further south.
As soon as he finished speaking, four transparent figures appeared one after another. They were Chen Yuan and the three guardians of Taisui Mountain!
Just an hour ago, after Chen Yuan found out where they fell, he met with the three guardians of Taisui Mountain and made a decision.
The four of them abandoned the ship and left. As for Huanlong and the North Sea Dragon Girl, they stayed in Chen Yuan's Hutian space to continue recuperating.
The one who spoke was Hu Yanqing from Taisui Mountain, with a confused look on his face. Among the three, he was the one who got along best with Chen Yuan, and he said whatever he wanted.
Chen Yuan looked at the hunting scene on the cliff. Indeed, the Ten Thousand Mountains were full of monsters. He simply snapped his fingers and sent out an invisible energy force!
"boom"
The energy directly collapsed on the fiery red demon flower that turned around. In an instant, the demon flower collapsed and turned into powder. The vines seemed to be drained of their essence and began to wither at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Kill the Thousand-Handed Demonic Lotus, luck points +21"
Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes, then turned around and answered Hu Yanqing's question, saying slowly: "Now that we are in a foreign land, we must be on guard against others."
"Defend against whom?"
"Is Jiu Zhonglang talking about the ancestor of the Fang family?" It seemed that the Jade Unicorn Jin Yushan understood.
"That's right!" Chen Yuan nodded with a deep look in his eyes. "This person is sneaking around for that ship. Previously, Chen had a conflict with his Fang family in Qingshan County. I think if there is a chance, the other party will kill Chen without mercy."
As soon as these words were spoken, the three people from Taisui Mountain looked at each other and felt that Chen Yuan was right.
This is also one of the reasons why the three of them were willing to follow Chen Yuan and abandon the ship after falling in.
The ancestor of the Fang family was taking advantage of his seniority and had a sinister mind. The people who had robbed them before were also using their seniority to make excuses and put the three of them in a passive position. The three of them are now in this predicament because of this old guy.
"What Jiuzhonglang said is correct. This old guy is very cunning. If I could beat him, I would have killed his shameless old face long ago." Hu Yanqing agreed with him, snorting, and then squinting his eyes, angrily said: "With your strength, Jiuzhonglang, plus the three of us, we can actually kill this old guy."
"Why did we let this old guy get the ship for free? I'm afraid he will be very happy to see us leave now."
"Of course not. We are now in a completely unfamiliar place, and we are likely to be hunted by those monsters. The strength of the Fang family ancestor, who is half a step away from being a dragon and a tiger, cannot be dealt with in a short time. It is more likely that the other party will escape. Once they really start fighting, the commotion will be huge, which is tantamount to grabbing chestnuts from the fire. I think this is also Jiu Zhonglang's consideration!"
Yu Qilin Jin Yushan directly refuted, and then turned his gaze to Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan snorted, his eyes sneered, "That ship may really have hidden goodies, but Chen knows that you shouldn't force things that you are not sure of, especially in the current situation."
"So as not to lose the lady and the army!"
Having said that, he did not talk more on this topic. He turned one hand into a sword finger and wiped it towards his forehead. Then, the Dharma Eye between his eyebrows opened and golden light flowed.
Chen Yuan's sword finger pinched out three golden lights in his Dharma Eye, which turned into three golden light balls the size of pills, and hit Hu Yanqing and the other two, hanging in front of them.
"This is Chen's eye-sight. This golden light can conceal our aura and detection. Next, even if the Fang family ancestor has the magical power of leaving a shadow in the void, he will not be able to capture our aura, and our whereabouts will not be exposed. Of course, this can also block the detection of some powerful demons, allowing us to cross the Hundred Thousand Mountains more smoothly."
Chen Yuan's words woke up the three people. The Ninth Mountain General went to the Fang family's ancestor to look for the human demon. The Fang family's ancestor had demonstrated this magical power in the Qingshan County Inn. He could capture a person's aura and then track him.
The whereabouts of these people may really be visible to the other party!
However, the three of them were somewhat puzzled. The Ninth Mountain General was very capable, and together with the three of them, they were not afraid of the Fang Family Patriarch at all, so it seemed that they did not need to be so wary. However, they did not ask too many questions about it. They just felt that the General was acting cautiously and did not want the Fang Family Patriarch to do anything bad. After all, their current situation was still unknown.
This also made the three of them more convinced of Chen Yuan. It’s better to be cautious!
The three men had seen Chen Yuan's third eye. At this moment, looking at the golden pill appearing in front of them, they raised their fingers and gently touched it without any doubt.
Soon, the golden pill turned into golden liquid and quickly spread from the fingers. After one or two breaths, the golden light covered the whole body, and then it disappeared as if it was nothing.
"Good stuff!" The three of them closed their eyes and carefully felt the changes in their bodies. They felt that they were covered by a layer of golden film. Then they sensed each other's Qi and found that the effect was surprisingly good.
"Okay, let's turn back and head south!"
"Now that the ban on the Hundred Thousand Mountains has been lifted, the demons and monsters are ready to move and send their troops to the battlefield. They have their own transmission channels. Let's see if we can find such an opportunity!"
"set off!"
Chen Yuan's plan was simple.
He went south, deep into the Shiwan Mountains, in order to avoid the possible pursuit and interception. At the same time, he received news from the front line and knew that the demons in the Shiwan Mountains were ready to make a move. He reopened the transmission channel and deployed demon soldiers. He wondered if he could find a chance to teleport back.
He was a man of action and didn't waste any words. He stepped forward and his figure quickly disappeared in the whistling mountain wind.
Upon seeing this, the three people from Taisui Mountain looked at each other, shouted in a low voice, and their figures suddenly became illusory. Then they turned into three elongated streams of light and followed.
Soon, the cliff became quiet again.
On the other side, two hundred miles away in the southwest, under the azure-gold waters of Zegeng, only a group of Fang family members were left on the "stranded" night boat.
At this time, the ancestor of the Fang family was sitting cross-legged on the deck at the bow of the ship. His turbid eyes emitted a three-foot-long cold light. Amid the flashing light, pictures jumped in the darkness, like continuously flipping paper pictures with a few little people on them.
It’s Chen Yuan and the others!
"They went north. It seems they are going to head north and leave the Shiwan Mountains!"
"Why don't you wait for us?"
But soon, the picture stopped abruptly.
The light in Fang Shiqing's eyes flickered out, and his eyes became cloudy and dark again.
"what happened?"
"Ancestor!"
"Why did they disappear?"
"."
There was a commotion behind them, and pairs of frightened eyes, from the remaining Fang family members.
"Ancestor!" Fang Tangjing walked forward with a slightly worried look on his face. The Ninth Mountain General had left, and even the three people from Taisui Mountain who were originally with them had left as well. Now they were the only ones left here.
After knowing that this was the Shu Land's Ten Thousand Mountains where monsters roamed everywhere, he wanted to leave with Chen Yuan and his group. Of course, it was just wishful thinking.
"That Ninth Lieutenant General used some tricks to avoid detection, and I also lost my sense of him." Fang Shiqing coughed, but did not feel surprised. If that Lieutenant General did not even have this ability, he really overestimated him. As he spoke, his skinny body slowly stood up.
Fang Tangjing hurried forward to support him, his eyes fixed, "Old Ancestor, why did the group of people surnamed Chen suddenly hide? Could it be that they were being chased by demons?"
Fang Shiqing clenched his fist, put it to his mouth and coughed, his old eyes flashing with brilliance, "Who knows, but it's good that they left. Haha, those demons want to catch them, what does it have to do with our Fang family? It's just right to buy time for me."
"Then, Old Ancestor, what should we do next?" Fang Tangjing asked.
Fang Shiqing turned around after hearing this and looked at the foggy night boat with its doors tightly closed. His cloudy eyes were filled with an almost paranoid passion. "I am determined to get the things in this boat. Now that they are gone, of course I will find a way to open the boat and find what I want."
Fang Tangjing was a little worried, and said, "Grandmaster, we are staying here now, and we don't know what the outside world is like. Why don't you let me take some people outside to investigate first?"
Fang Shiqing glanced at him with his cloudy eyes. "You are a thoughtful person, but time waits for no one. There is something strange about this ship. It has spirituality. I need your help to open it. In addition, this fog can block the aura, so it won't be a big problem. I will send others to serve as secret sentries outside."
The ancestor of the Fang family was only thinking about getting on the ship at this time. Before, when Chen Yuan and the others were present, he did not act rashly. Unexpectedly, the General was not interested in the ship and was eager to leave, so he helped him.
His time is approaching, and he won't let go of any chance.
As he spoke, his eyes fell on the Fang family members, "You, you, and you, the rest of you, go out and monitor any disturbances outside. Hide your presence and don't do anything unnecessary."
Fang Shiqing counted the heads of several rooms, all of whom were at the third level of Dao Fruit, and gave orders.
Then he stretched out his hand and struck the outside of the boat with a dragon-headed cane, and the white mist was opened up with an invisible force of energy.
The head of the third house had no choice but to bite the bullet and step out. "Let's get started!"
After doing all this, Fang Shiqing looked at the big ship, the wrinkles on his face twitching, and his turbid eyes shining brightly.
"The rest of you should set up restrictions on the side as an extra layer of insurance. Tang Jing, get ready to act!"
"Yes, ancestor!"
At this moment, the others could only suppress the uneasiness of being in the heart of the demon world, cheer themselves up, and start shouting and taking positions. The true energy surged out of their bodies and the spiritual light flickered.
Immediately afterwards, rays of forbidden light were emitted and floated above the huge ship.
This took about a quarter of an hour.
When it was almost time, Fang Shiqing and Fang Tangjing, who had adjusted themselves to their best condition, looked serious and started to take action.
Fang Tangjing suddenly clasped his hands in front of his chest, and a green sword edge rang out with a clanging sound. It was condensed and branded with various unknown patterns. White cold air lingered on the sword edge, freezing out a harsh sizzling sound in the void.
"Go!" Fang Tangjing's face became serious. He clapped his hands together and struck. The sword tip shone and swelled in the wind, turning into a huge sword of ten feet in length, which shot straight at the cabin door. Musashi's aura burst out in an instant as the sword clashed.
Fang Shiqing raised his palm, and a lamp with black flames flew out, spinning around a few feet in front of him. He opened his mouth and blew, and a stream of air turned into a whirlwind, rolling up the black flames, turning into a black fire line, surging away and burning the ship.
Following these actions, the white mist above the originally silent ship began to change.
When Fang Shiqing saw this scene, wrinkles at the corners of his eyes piled up.
There is a play!
Just when the ancestor of the Fang family wanted to enter the boat and forcibly cast a spell to bombard it, the three Fang family leaders who were sent out to keep watch outside the boat did not run far. The three of them were two or three miles away in three directions from the water where the ship was stranded. They all restrained their breath, cast the spell of invisibility, listened carefully in all directions, and looked around carefully in this marshland.
Above, the sunlight shines into the water, revealing a magnificent jade-green color. The further down you go, the less sunlight there is, and the color of the water becomes darker, giving people a creepy and chilly feeling.
In this area of water, there are all kinds of strange and bizarre monsters running rampant. There is a fish monster that is glowing all over, has a human face and a fish body, two claws on its belly, and is three or four meters long. There is also a giant monster with a fish body but a snake head, five or six meters long, with two fins like paddles, and it moves very fast. It runs rampant in the water, hunting and killing the fish monster everywhere, like the overlord of this water area!
Until a huge shadow appeared under the gloomy waters, quickly emerged from the water, and actually pushed the vicious snake-headed fish monster out of the water. Then it opened its bloody mouth, and the bright red blood quickly dyed the water surface red.
A huge monster also emerged from the water, with a fish body that was more than ten feet long, covered with cyan scales, horns on its head, a pair of wings, and feathers on its tail!
This scene was seen by a head of the Fang family. His eyelids twitched slightly, and he remembered what the General of the Central Army had said about the origin of this place before he left.
"In the water of Zegeng, there is a beast called Gudiao. It looks like an eagle but has horns."
He was not very familiar with the monsters in the Shiwanda Mountains, but he had seen similar monsters in the battle that night. Could this be the Gu Diao?
This person was actually not wrong. This was the first form of the Gu Diao. In fact, demons like the Ten Evils that have bloodline inheritance will have various forms depending on the degree of awakening of the blood in their bodies. Just like Fei Yi, his first form was a bird body, the second form had both a bird body and a snake body, and the third form was a giant snake with wings.
The bloodline evolution of the Gu Diao is roughly similar!
Although this Gu Diao is ferocious, it only has the aura of a Tianguan Dao Seed.
The head of the Fang family was naturally not afraid, but he was panicked because these ten evil monsters appeared here, so he prayed to himself that he hoped not to encounter such powerful beasts.
Soon, the first form of the fish-bodied Gu Eagle flicked its tail and flew away quickly like playing in the water. Seeing this, the head of the Fang family felt a little relieved.
But at this moment, he caught a glimpse of a golden light in the dark waters below.
The golden light was very dazzling in the darkness and quickly became brighter.
Next second,
"boom"
There was a loud bang.
The water surface covering several miles in radius trembled violently, and in an instant, huge waves tens of meters high were raised!
Along with this, the head of the Fang family, who was blown out of the water by the huge shock wave, had a look of horror in his eyes and cried out in surprise.
Because he was discovered!
"not good!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp roar was heard, which was enough to pierce through gold and split stone.
Same as him, two miles away, the Gu Eagle was also shaken out of the water by the huge roar, but the scales on the huge fish were broken and blood was flowing. A pair of pale yellow pupils moved around and found the head of the Fang family.
"Humanity!"
A sharp howl came out of the monster's throat, which could be heard from far away.
Soon, startling demonic roars were heard from the surrounding mountains.
"Quick, kill it!"
A few screams were heard, and the other two heads of the Fang family also appeared from other directions in a panic, yelling anxiously.
Then, three streams of light rushed towards the Gu Eagle.
"boom"
"boom"
"boom"
In a few breaths, the injured Gu Diao was killed by the three men's thunder.
"Damn it!"
"What's the matter?"
The three heads of the Fang family looked very unhappy. It was useless even if they took action. The huge noise here had alarmed the surroundings. The roars of beasts in the surrounding mountains and forests came one after another and were approaching here quickly.
"Go tell the ancestor!"
The three people's faces changed drastically, and then they dived directly into the water.
Soon after, the water in the swamp began to boil. In the water, huge creatures gathered here. In the surrounding mountains and forests, tall demon shadows shook the mountains and forests and gathered here. Pairs of ferocious demon eyes glanced at the huge waves falling like a rainstorm, and then with a roar, they jumped into the river.
After a while, there were rumbling sounds of explosions under the water, demonic roars, the river surged, and streams of blood surged up from the depths of the riverbed.
"boom"
"boom"
"boom"
Under the water surface, waves exploded and streaks of light flew out, revealing the frightened faces of the Fang family members. Then, one giant beast after another exploded from the river, revealing their ferocious figures and surrounding them.
"Ancestor!"
The Fang family called out urgently.
The ancestor of the Fang family had an extremely gloomy look in his eyes.
"Go to hell!"
The black flame in his hand grew rapidly, and his entire dry body burst out with terrifying violence. The black flame grew like a Buddha's angry lotus and quickly exploded towards the surrounding demonic shadows.
The demons let out terrible roars and were quickly swallowed by the black flames.
The ancestor of the Fang family went on a killing spree, causing the nearby mountains within a dozen miles to shake.
But soon, a startling and sharp roar resounded through the sky, and suddenly a huge shadow was seen approaching rapidly in the distant sky!
A silver Gu Eagle spread its wings into the sky, its pupils flashing with ferocity.
"Human Musashi!"
"So you are here!"
"Send troops!"
The ancestor of the Fang family below stared at the Gu Eagle with his ferocious eyes, and then roared away like a cannonball.
He was clearly about to open the boat, these damn monsters!
On the other side, more than a hundred miles southeast of here, on a mountaintop, several illusory figures were looking northwest.
"What happened to the northwest?"
"That seems to be the direction we were heading before!"
At this time, there were continuous roars here, and a demonic shadow rose into the sky and shot towards the northwest.
As he spoke, several eyes turned to one of them.
Chen Yuan looked into the distance and smiled, "No need to guess, I did it!" (End of this chapter)
