Lei Zhentian and Luo Xiangxue, who were lurking behind the bushes, saw the scene that had just happened. Seeing that the three people did not seem to be suspicious of Xu Feng who suddenly appeared, their suspenseful hearts relaxed.
Luo Xiangxue glanced at the backs of the three people who were gradually retreating, exhaled quietly and said, "Uncle Lei, do you think those people are from Hell Gate?" She frowned slightly and looked at a group of people. Lei Zhentian had a solemn expression on his face.
Lei Zhentian pondered and said: "It's hard to say, but judging from the way these people are dressed, they must all be people with martial arts skills, especially the yellow-robed Taoist, who has at least ten years of internal martial arts skills. But I don't know Did Master Xu have any clues?" Just as he was talking, Xu Feng jumped up to him.
At this time, the figures of the three mysterious people had completely disappeared under the cliff.
Lei Zhentian and Luo Xiangxue stood up. Xu Feng glanced at the cliff where the three people disappeared. Lei Zhentian was about to ask, but Xu Feng said slowly: "If my guess is right, these people must come from the Hell Gate." The conversation just now failed to reveal the location of the Hell Gate. However, they did not know my identity. It was just that the yellow-robed Taoist saw that we came from Guanzhong." He sighed and continued. "Let's go to the top of the mountain and have a look. From their conversation, it seems that the Gate of Hell must be located on the top of the mountain."
Everyone no longer hesitated and walked quickly along the rugged and narrow mountain road. Not far ahead is a steep slope, and the mountain gradually climbs upward. As they walked, several people carefully looked around at what was going on. The mountain wind blows on the sunken rock wall, making a whirling sound. The stone steps carved from the cliff wall go straight into the dense forest halfway up the mountain.
The three of them turned around a cliff and passed between the steep cliffs. Water flowed in the deep stream below the cliff, and the mist shrouding the dense jungle had completely dissipated. The surroundings are all at a glance. There are many mountains in the distance. The peaks turn around in front of them. They climb straight up along the rough stone steps. After crossing the pass, the three of them have arrived on a sloping hillside. A large number of strange rocks suddenly appear in front of them. , large and small stones are piled together, and various mysterious patterns and writings are engraved on the stones.
The strange sight in front of them made the three of them pause. Luo Xiangxue said quietly: "What is this place? There are so many strange-shaped stones. Look, there are patterns engraved on the stones." She looked at the inscriptions on the overlapping stones. Strange patterns and various inscriptions. She looked at Xu Feng and Lei Zhentian, and then her eyes fell on those densely packed stones.
Luo Xiangxue murmured in her mouth: "Demon Realm, Ghost Sees Sorrow, South Sky Pillar, Martial Arts Forbidden Area, Silver Flower Smoke Tree... Who wrote these? There are so many strange patterns, mysterious!" She His eyes flashed with novelty.
Xu Feng and Lei Zhentian looked at each other and couldn't help but frown, looking at these strange patterns and engravings with solemn expressions. Lei Zhentian looked around vigilantly and looked at Xu Feng with a blank look on his face.
Xu Feng suddenly showed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, and said quietly: "These things are not surprising. I think this is just a natural stone forest. As for these patterns and carvings, they must be mysteries, or people with ulterior motives. It’s just to blind people’s eyes. However, since we are new here, it’s better to be careful about the hidden weapons and mechanisms lurking inside!”
Lei Zhentian said slowly: "The strange thing is that we have been walking up the mountain for so long, but we only saw the three people in front of us. The huge mountain is so empty and almost deserted. This is really abnormal. We should really be careful. Brother Xu , do you think this place is not far from the gate of hell?" There was an alert light in his eyes, and a touch of melancholy appeared between his eyebrows.
Xu Feng's eyes flashed, looking at the dense woods behind the stone formation, and said slowly: "Yes, those people just now must have come from here. If I guessed correctly, the Hell Gate should be in that dense forest. Here, maybe it’s nearby. Come on, let’s go over there and take a look, everyone, please be careful!”
With their minds focused, everyone slowly walked into the stone formation. There seemed to be hundreds of densely packed stones, each one different from the other. They seemed to be made naturally, and they seemed to be placed quite regularly. Between the stones, there are paths of uneven width and width, forming a huge maze.
The three of them did not dare to be careless, for fear that there might be dangers involved. Everyone clenched their weapons, with serious expressions and alert eyes. Xu Feng took the lead, Luo Xiangxue walked in the middle, and Lei Zhentian followed behind. Five steps, ten steps, twenty steps... The surroundings were still eerily silent. Except for the chirping of birds in the forest and the chirping of insects in the grass, there was no other sound. The three people were on guard, constantly looking around, fearing that hidden arrows and darts were coming to greet them from some hidden corner.
At this moment, a muffled thunderous explosion suddenly sounded in the sky. The three people were suddenly startled. Looking up, they saw dozens of loud arrows bundled together, roaring high into the sky, and suddenly exploding. Under normal circumstances, the sounding arrow is usually fired from a single arrow, but why are dozens of them bundled together and fired together? The place where the sounding arrow came from was deep in the woods behind the rock formation, which was close to the cliff and deep stream. At the end of the forest, a towering mountain peak towered into the sky, so majestic.
Xu Feng, Lei Zhentian and Luo Xiangxue were shocked by the violent explosion just now, and they were still in shock. The three people immediately squatted down and hid behind a huge stone, looking around warily. The strange thing is that after the explosion disappeared, there was no other sound, and the surroundings became quiet again.
Luo Xiangxue said with a confused look on her face: "Uncle Xu, what's going on? So many arrows exploded together, what happened?" The violent explosion was like a thunder on the ground, making the three of them panic.
Xu Feng's face was solemn, and he muttered slightly: "I think there must be something strange in that forest. Otherwise, I will go into the forest to take a look. You guys wait here and don't act rashly. I will make plans when I come back. .”
Lei Zhentian looked at the dense woods with sharp eyes and said slowly: "Brother Xu, it's too dangerous for you to go in alone. I think it's better for me to go with you. If anything happens, we can still communicate with each other." Take care!”
Luo Xiangxue looked at Xu Feng and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, what Uncle Lei said makes sense. We are unfamiliar with the situation in this mountain. The explosion of the arrow just now was too unusual. I don't know what dangers are hidden in the forest. Otherwise, let’s all go in together.”
Xu Feng shook his head, shook his head slowly and said: "No, the target for us to go together is too big and easy to be exposed. If it is someone from Hell Gate, it will be difficult to deal with! This is their sphere of influence after all. Okay , you just stand still here, I'll go and come back as soon as possible." With that said, he held his sword and saluted Lei Zhentian and Luo Xiangxue, then turned around and strode away with a solemn expression.
Passing through the maze-like rock formations, the grass-covered mountain paths extend straight into the depths of the jungle. Xu Feng did not dare to be careless, so he stretched out his body and jumped to the entrance of the forest like a puff of smoke. He suddenly stopped, hid behind a giant tree, and alertly poked his head out to look into the forest.
The forest was covered with thick shade, and the sunlight cast colorful light and shadow among the branches and leaves, but it was quiet inside. Not only was there not a single person, not even a small animal was found. He thought for a moment: Before Liu Ruyan and Zhao Qingzhu went up the mountain, we agreed to use the sound of arrows as a signal. Could it be that they were the ones who sent out these arrows! Yes, it must be them, but why did they send out so many messages all at once? Could it be that their lives were in danger? …
He couldn't think too much, and then turned around and jumped into the dense forest like an arrow. His eyes quickly scanned around. There were many pines and cypresses growing in the forest, and flowers, plants and wild fruits could be seen everywhere. He wandered around in the woods, looking at every corner. After searching for a long time, no valuable clues were found.
