"Performing a mission?
Doesn't it mean that I don't need to do anything? I only need to take action when you encounter problems that are really unsolvable? "
Lu Fan frowned.
He didn't want to perform any tasks during the Chinese New Year.
He didn't know how many days this trip would take, and he still wanted to spend the New Year at home honestly! "Yes, now I have encountered an unsolvable problem and need your help."
Bingxue put away her smile and returned to her iceberg beauty state.
Lu Fan finally figured out that this girl was not an iceberg beauty at all.
She also laughs and is proud like an ordinary girl. She probably created such a persona for some unknown purpose.
"No, I have to celebrate the New Year at home!"
Lu Fan still refused.
"Without delaying your Chinese New Year, my superiors discovered that this mountain may contain secrets related to spiritual energy recovery, and sent me to investigate. I couldn't do anything on my own, so I had to ask for your help."
Bingxue said.
The mountain she was talking about was obviously Baiyun Mountain.
This mountain has indeed always had legends about immortals. Lu Fan also found that this mountain was unusual and wanted to investigate it for a long time, but he never had time.
But this does not mean that he will go hiking during the Chinese New Year.
"Dark Dragon will send you alone to explore?"
Lu Fan didn't believe what the girl said at all.
"We are a team of four, but we got separated on the mountain. The three of them are probably trapped. I think it's better to come down and seek some help first."
Bingxue said.
Only then did Lu Fan understand.
The girl probably didn't want to absorb herself into the Dark Dragon, but she thought of him because she encountered something she couldn't solve.
This is really... Lu Fan was a little helpless, a little unhappy, but there was nothing he could do about it.
He has already agreed, what else can he do now?
He is not a man who breaks his promises.
"Okay, I'll tell my family and I'll go up the mountain with you. I hope your trouble won't delay my Chinese New Year."
As Lu Fan spoke, he took out his cell phone and sent a message to his sister-in-law, saying that he had left for a while and would try his best to come back for the New Year.
Anyway, there have been quite a few people at home these two days, including several girls, so there is no need to worry that my sister-in-law and sister will feel lonely or scared.
"Let's go, you're a grown man, take your time."
Bingxue watched Lu Fan send a message for a long time, but that was enough.
"Okay, let's go."
Lu Fan put away his phone.
The two of them walked towards Baiyun Mountain together.
Baiyun Mountain is a mountain that is not too high, with an altitude of only about one thousand meters.
In Izumo Village, including other surrounding villages, people often come to the mountains to look for medicinal herbs and game to supplement their household income.
Everyone knows that the area below the halfway point of Baiyun Mountain is very safe.
But everyone is more aware that it is a very dangerous place from the position of Broken Heart Cliff upwards.
No one can tell the specific dangerous method, because everyone who went up has never come down again.
Therefore, the surrounding villagers both love and hate this mountain. What they love is that there are many good things on this mountain, and sometimes they can really save lives. What they hate is that this mountain has been filled with unknown things for hundreds or thousands of years. How many villagers' lives have been swallowed up.
There are always those who don’t believe in evil and want to go up and have a look! At this moment, Lu Fan and Bingxue looked like two people who did not believe in evil.
They soon reached the Broken Heart Cliff and stopped here for a while, preparing to continue climbing.
"I heard there are many legends about this place?"
Bingxue looked around.
The legend has not been discovered, but there are really a lot of herbs here.
"Yes, legend has it that this was once the place where immortals lived."
Lu Fan nodded.
"Immortal, do you believe it?"
Bingxue seemed dismissive of such legends.
"I said I am an immortal, do you believe it?"
Lu Fan asked back, but he continued without waiting for Bingxue to answer.
"There is always some truth to the legends that have been passed down for thousands of years. Just like here, it is impossible to cultivate so many precious medicinal materials naturally without some special reasons. You know, even ordinary places use the best conditions to cultivate them. , it can’t produce such an effect.”
Bingxue said nothing, and finally nodded after a while.
She also had to admit that the herbs in this place grew really well, and there were too many varieties.
Is there really something fishy here?
"Okay, let's go, don't linger here."
Lu Fan stopped Bingxue who wanted to continue searching for answers here.
The two people continued to climb up, and not long after walking, they heard a series of low roars of wild beasts.
"Be careful. There is a group of extremely ferocious beasts here. Even if the inner family's peak strength hits them, there is no way to cause any damage to them. There are so many of them. We were scattered by this group of beasts before."
Bingxue reminded in a low voice.
Although her strength has reached the practice level, far beyond the peak of the inner family, she can cause substantial damage to these beasts.
But facing the vast herd of beasts, she still had no choice but to escape down the mountain quickly.
As for her companion, she didn't know where she had fled.
"Beast?
Can't you recognize the species? "
Lu Fan asked strangely.
"Can not be sure."
Bingxue hesitated for a moment.
"They are very similar to wolves, but wolves definitely don't have their hardness, speed and attack power!"
She has been with Dark Dragon for a long time and has carried out many missions. Of course she has also seen real wolves.
An ordinary wolf pack, even if there are a hundred or eighty of them, cannot cause real harm to a top martial artist.
But the wolves on this mountain are different. Each of those wolves seems to have the strength of a peak warrior in the inner family, and should not be underestimated! Moreover, shouldn’t normal wolves be in the grassland?
Why are you still running up the mountain?
All kinds of doubts made it impossible for Bingxue to make a correct judgment.
"That's it, let me take a look."
Lu Fan nodded and continued walking forward without hesitation.
A wolf can only be compared to the strength of a peak martial artist in the inner family. What is the difference between that and a rabbit?
Of course there is no way to affect him.
Bingxue had no choice but to follow.
The roar of the beast was getting closer and closer, and suddenly, Bingxue saw what seemed to be a patch of starlight in front of him.
She turned around quickly and found that there were stars behind and on both sides.
That's not starlight at all, it's the eyes of that kind of beast! They were actually surrounded by a herd of beasts! Bingxue was immediately shocked.
"No, we are surrounded, what should we do?"
She had no idea that these beasts were intelligent and knew how to surround them.
Now, even if you want to run away, it's not that easy! "Why panic? We are not surrounded."
Lu Fan's voice was still so calm and composed.
