As the eight people walked along, they gradually walked out of the dam area and entered a dark forest. The forest blocked the sky and the sun, and the sky, which was already darkening little by little, suddenly became dark.
Lan Tian rode his horse forward, took out a torch from the horse's pocket, lit it with a fire stick, and rode in front to light the way.
After walking for another hour, the eight people came to a dangerous place. Under the illumination of the moonlight, they could see a dark cliff on the left and a deep valley on the right. There was a faint sound of roaring water coming from the bottom of the valley. , but I can’t see how high the cliff is or how deep the valley is.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp..." A strange cry came from the cliff, "Chirp, chirp..." Guxia also responded, the voice sounded like a bird, but also a little like an ape, which made people's hair stand on end. .
"Brother, listen to this sound, could it be the legendary Yape?" Hearing this strange cry, Lan Ling'er rode forward and asked Lan Tian.
"I think so too, but no one has ever seen this animal. It's just a legend, not necessarily real." Lan Tian raised his head and looked around, but only saw dark cliffs.
"What is a cliff ape? What's so strange about it?" After hearing the conversation between Lan Tian and Lan Ling'er, Zhu Yu couldn't help but ask.
"I heard from my father that on the snowy peaks of Tianlong Mountain, there used to be a kind of ape called Yaya. It was extremely ferocious and specialized in eating poisonous insects and beasts. It would also eat people when hungry. Drinking the blood of this ape can make you grow twice as long. With ten years of skill, he can be invulnerable to all poisons and can heal himself if bitten by poisonous things or injured by poisonous palms." Lan Ling'er said.
"Why don't the Tianlong Sect capture some cliff apes and let everyone drink their blood?" Zhu Yu asked, looking up at the dark cliff.
"This kind of ape is extremely alarmed. You can only hear his voice. No one has ever seen it. Ever since Master and the others moved into Tianlong Mountain, the cliff ape on the snow peak has disappeared." Lan Tian sighed. .
"No one has sucked the blood of Yayuan, so how do you know that his blood has such effects?" Luo Lin heard the three people talking about Yayuan from behind and asked strangely.
"This incident is described in a medicinal book of the Wuliang Sect. Many years ago, I traveled to the Wuliang Sect and saw this book. When Master Daoshun of the Wuliang Sect showed me the book, I saw this section. Master Wufeng said calmly.
"Master Wufeng, what else is said in the book?" Lan Ling'er asked.
"The book says that there is a kind of ape that is called the cliff ape among the people. Its whole body is red. It lies in bed during the day and comes out at night. It is invisible to people. Its meat is very tonic, and its blood can relax the muscles and activate blood circulation. After eating, it will not invade poisonous insects, and it can increase its power. But there is no description in the book, probably because the person who wrote the book does not understand martial arts." Master Wufeng said.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp...!" A rapid cry came from the cliff, which made people panic. Then, there was also a rapid cry from the bottom of the cliff, which seemed to be responding to the cry from the cliff.
"I think, whatever animals are making the noise, they must be a pair. The one on the cliff is in an emergency and is calling the one below to help!" Although Master Wusi's name is Wusi, he is the most eloquent among the three old men. insightful.
As soon as Wusi finished speaking, he saw a black figure running up the road from the cliff, flashing in front of everyone's eyes, and then climbed up the cliff. A moment later, there was a rustling sound on the cliff. Just as the sound stopped, only a faint sound could be heard. With a "dong" sound, a black thing fell to a place three or four feet away from everyone.
Lan Tian jumped off his horse and went to check with a torch. He saw a giant snake more than two feet long lying on the ground. The whole body of the giant snake appeared in a ring of seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. It had three hard horns on its head. His eyes glowed red under the firelight, and his big mouth opened wide, revealing two white fangs more than a foot long. He struggled on the ground for a while, then stopped moving, and only a stream of brown blood flowed from his neck. Come.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way." Master Wu Xin suddenly pushed away the blue sky, ran to the giant snake, squatted down, holding a leather bag in his hand, lifted the snake's head, put the wound to the mouth of the bag, shook it hard, and removed the remaining The snake's blood dripped into the bag, while muttering: "What a pity, what a pity!"
"Master Wu Xin, where did you get this snake blood?" Zhu Yu was confused when he saw Wu Xin's strange behavior.
Wu Xin only focused on catching the snake's blood, and did not hear Zhu Yu's question, but heard Master Wu Feng say: "This snake is called the Triangular Colorful Snake, and it is the king of snakes. Its venom is the most poisonous insect of all, and it is also found in the blood." toxin."
"Since it is the poison of all kinds of poisons, what is the use of it?" Zhu Yu was confused about this.
"I have been looking for this snake for more than thirty years, and have traveled through countless mountains and rivers. I just want to find the seven poisons to prepare my seven-poison elixir. Now I have found the four flavors. The only thing left is the triangular colorful snake blood, the five-poison lizard and the thousand-year-old poison. The blood of the snow turtle has been drained. Unexpectedly, I encountered a triangular colorful snake here, but half of the blood flowed away in vain." Master Wuxin saw that the snake had dripped all its blood, and shook the snake's body again, making sure that it would not come back again. There was blood flowing out, so he stood up regretfully, closed the mouth of the leather bag tightly, and carefully put it into his arms.
"Master Wuxin, what are the other three poisons?" Lan Ling was curious since he was a child and wanted to know the truth no matter what.
"The other four poisons are spotted sea snakes, leopard spiders, white-crowned crows and red-spotted civet cats. I have collected the blood of these four poisons. Now, the only thing left is the blood of the five-poisonous lizard and the thousand-year-old snow turtle." Master Wuxin said excitedly.
"Senior Brother Wu Xin, you can find the two poisons yourself. Master Wu Feng and I don't have time to accompany you anymore." Master Wu Si smiled.
"It's okay if you two don't go, just give me your Roaring Dog to keep me company." Master Wuxin said.
"But you can, but you also know that my Howling Sky Dog is in seclusion and will not be born until three years later. Can you wait?" Master Wusi smiled again.
A few people were talking when they suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from the cliff above their heads. The sound was not loud, but because the surroundings were extremely quiet, everyone heard it clearly. Just when they were about to look up, they saw two people. A black shadow jumped from the cliff onto the road and stood next to the giant snake. Under the light of the fire, everyone could clearly see that these two black shadows were two giant apes over one foot tall and covered in blood red bodies. At this moment, the giant ape was staring at the eight people with blood-red eyes.
"Ya ape?" Lan Ling'er shouted excitedly when she saw the two giant apes.
"Go quickly and catch them so that you can drink their blood-growing skills." Zhao Li also looked extremely surprised.
"The cliff-sucking ape's blood-enhancing power is just a legend and should not be taken seriously. If its blood really has this function, it should only be obtained by those who are destined to get it. There may not be many such animals left in the world. In order to avoid losing their descendants, I think it is better to let them Let's go!" Master Wusi has always been a brave man, and he can't bear to hurt this strange thing.
Although Master Wu Si said so, Zhao Li, who wanted to practice magic skills, didn't think so. He pulled out his sword, rushed over, and stabbed one of the Ya Yuans in the chest. The Ya Yuan saw the sword stab. Come, he ducked past the tip of the sword, raised his big fluffy hand, and slapped the top of Zhao Li's head, who was very close at hand. Zhao Li didn't expect that the giant ape would not only avoid his sword, but also attack him, which frightened him. He had to step back a few steps to get out of the way of the giant ape's red-haired giant palm. In this flash of lightning, another giant ape grabbed the giant snake, let out a long roar of "chirp", and flew up the cliff. When the giant ape in front heard the call of his companion, he turned around and ran up the cliff. Several "chirp, chirp, chirp" calls came from near and far, and it was clear that the two cliff apes had already run away.
Except for Zhao Li, none of the people present had any intention of harming the two Ya Yuans, and Zhao Li was not good at martial arts, so Ya Yuan was able to escape.
"Let's go!" Master Wufeng said.
Lan Tian changed a torch, and the eight people continued to walk along the road between the canyons. They exited the canyon and came to an open area. Under the moonlight, as far as the eye could see, there were some low plants on both sides of the road.
"Let's rest here until dawn before we start our journey!" Knowing that Lan Ling'er and the others had limited skills, they must have felt very sleepy and it was time to take a rest before they could regain their energy.
Lan Ling'er had wanted to say something about resting, but the terrain was difficult along the way and she was worried about being attacked, so she didn't say anything.
Lan Tian stuck the torch on the ground, and everyone took out three tents from their horses and set them up. Lan Tian turned to Master Wufeng and said: "The three masters squeeze together and sleep in the larger tent. "As he said this, he pointed to a gray tent under the road.
"We never live in tents. We sleep on trees and mountains in the wild. You should rest quickly." After Master Wufeng finished speaking, Sanso disappeared.
Seeing Sanso leaving, Lan Tian asked the four of them to sleep in the tents respectively.
