After returning to Shigu Town, Li Dao soon noticed that the flow of people in the town began to rush towards Shiwan Mountain along the mountain road on the other side of Shigu Town.
Presumably these people were going to participate in the so-called Gu God Festival.
So, after going to the restaurant and checking out the room, Li Dao mounted his horse and followed the flow of people towards Shiwan Mountain.
...
After following the flow of people through a section of road between Shigu Town and Shiwanda Mountain, a landscape of mountains appeared in front of him.
Looking at the mountains in the distance, one after another, almost endless, Li Dao understood the meaning of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
In front of me, this scene seems to be just a piece of scenery.
But in fact, I don’t know how many depths there are inside.
According to his recent inquiries in Shigu Town, it seems that these 100,000 mountains are only statistics from people in southern Xinjiang. No one actually knows the specific number.
Everyone only understands that the deeper you go into the Hundred Thousand Mountains, the more dangerous it becomes.
Rumor has it that a master at the Grand Master level once tried to cross the Hundred Thousand Mountains, but he never heard from him again.
Some people say that the great master died deep in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, while others say that the great master came back but went crazy.
Although these may all be just rumors, from the fact that people still have many unknowns about Shiwandashan in the countless years that followed, it can be seen that the reality may be more terrifying than the rumors.
Soon after, people traveling along the road came to an intersection of peaks after passing through a flat road. The only mountain road leading to the interior of Shiwan Mountain officially appeared in front of Li Dao.
Looking at the mountain road in front of him, Li Dao understood what Xue Bing meant when he said in the information that the mountain road was rugged and not conducive to traffic.
It is difficult for three horses to go parallel at the intersection when entering the mountain road for the first time, let alone leading an army deeper.
Moreover, the road will only become more and more rugged the further you go into Shiwanda Mountain, and you will probably have to hike further.
This is still a road opened by man, so there is no need to think about other places.
But think about it, how can you build a good mountain road in ancient times when everything was backward except for spiritual practice.
Moreover, even if someone really wants to create a smooth mountain road among the Hundred Thousand Mountains, it is estimated that the forces in the Hundred Thousand Mountains will not be willing.
After all, this is their natural barrier.
The next flow of people continued to move forward through the mountain road.
A few hours later, since most of the people in the crowd were practitioners, they had already passed through more than a dozen peaks. Those who could not keep up could only be dragged behind.
Because the horse under Li Dao's crotch had been transformed by the precious blood in his body, it could barely keep up with the people in front of him even if the mountain road was rugged.
One person and one horse stood out among the gradually dwindling crowd, but no one took the initiative to look for trouble. After all, he was definitely not a fool to get here, and he would not easily find trouble for himself.
After walking for some time.
Suddenly, someone in the flow of people in front and behind said, "Bailian Mountain is coming soon. If you don't want to suffer, prepare the insect repellent incense as soon as possible."
Insect repellent incense?
As the crowd continued to move forward, he understood what the so-called insect repellent incense meant.
After the flow of people went some distance further into Shiwanda Mountain, they saw many flying insects of various shapes suddenly appearing in the mountain path.
After seeing the flow of people, the flying insects took the initiative and flew directly over.
After seeing these flying insects, many people in the crowd immediately took out some powdery things from their arms and began to sprinkle them on themselves.
When the flying insects approached, they seemed to smell something that disgusted them, and they all ducked away. It seemed that the powder should be the so-called insect repellent incense.
People with insect repellent incense avoided it, but some people in the crowd were unprepared.
It was probably their first time in these mountains. They looked at the flying insects with confused expressions and could only drive them away.
However, there are many flying insects, and even if you try to drive them away, you will inevitably get lone flying insects falling on you.
As a result, many people who did not have insect repellent incense began to make sounds of pain.
Seeing this scene, the people around who had spread insect repellent incense showed expressions of gloating.
Soon, someone's expression suddenly changed and he said, "This insect is poisonous!"
Before he could recover, a mouthful of foam came out of his mouth and his whole body began to shake.
Bang!
The man fell directly into the mountain road.
Immediately afterwards, many people who were bitten by flying insects also showed various strange phenomena.
Although very different, without exception it was not a good reaction.
After some people sensed something was wrong, those who were unlucky had no time to react, while those who responded quickly began to retreat quickly.
Li Dao also discovered these abnormalities at this time.
Likewise, he doesn't have the so-called insect repellent incense.
At this moment, some flying insects came to Li Dao through the flow of people.
After noticing that there was no insect repellent incense around Li Dao, they subconsciously came closer.
However, just after they came within ten feet of Li Dao, they saw that the flapping wings of the flying insects were inexplicably stagnant.
The next second, each of the flying insects seemed to have encountered a natural enemy, and immediately turned around and fled.
There were a few unlucky flying insects that flew straight towards Li Dao without enough time to react because they flew so fast.
But just when he was still some distance away from Li Dao, the flapping wings suddenly stopped, and then hit Li Dao.
Seeing this scene, Li Dao reached out and picked up a flying insect in the palm of his hand.
After taking a closer look, he found that there was no overlap between the flying insect and the insect in his impression.
Thinking about where he was going on this trip, he roughly guessed what these things were.
Moreover, he realized that the bug in his palm was not killed by the collision, but fainted.
This couldn't help but make him a little curious, especially when he saw those flying insects running away immediately after getting close to him for a certain distance, he began to doubt in his heart.
What's happening here?
Obviously he doesn't have the so-called insect repellent incense.
In doubt, Li Dao closed his eyes and channeled his energy to sense the situation around him.
Um!
He opened his eyes suddenly, and a look of understanding appeared on his face.
He probably understood why these flying insects faced him like this.
In his perception just now, he vaguely noticed an invisible force spreading within one foot of his body.
Those flying insects turned around and left immediately after approaching this range.
This situation is a bit like some weak animals entering the territory of large animals and instinctively driving them to escape.
Just like some strong practitioners can rely on their own cultivation to create a sense of oppression and suppress people with weaker cultivation than them.
And he has no cultivation, so it should be the special ability brought to him by his physique.
But he didn't know what the specific situation was.
But, no matter what, it's always good.
At least he didn't have to worry about dealing with these flying insects himself.
As some people were driven away by flying insects, the number of people flowed dropped sharply.
During this period, no one noticed Li Dao's abnormality. After all, his abnormality was similar to that of insect repellent incense.
Finally, until the sky gradually darkened, a mountain peak shining with many firelights appeared in front of everyone.
Someone saw this mountain peak and said, "We finally arrived at Bailian Mountain."
