House seemingly endless rain.
Xu Huaigu felt a drop of cold rain fall on his forehead in the middle of the night, and when he was blown by the night wind, he immediately felt cold.
He was annoyed by the sudden cold spring rain. He got up and looked at the sky. He found that the sky was pitch black and not a single star could be seen. Instead, more and more raindrops were falling.
Xu Huaigu was so angry that he stamped his feet, but no matter how angry he was, the spring rain had to fall as scheduled.
Soon, the needle-thick raindrops turned into raindrops, and in a moment turned into large water columns pouring down, watering the mountain stream wantonly.
Xu Huaigu did not dare to stay in the mountain stream anymore.
If there is too much rain and the water in the upper reaches of the mountain stream rises, a flash flood may break out at any time, which is no joke.
When the flood comes, the big tree that the two of them are hugging can be blown away by its roots. What's more, in the mountain streams with cliffs on both sides, the water flow will only become more rapid.
He had no choice but to grope his way up the cliff and climb up the mountain stream in the starless night.
Unfortunately, there is also an open grassland above the mountain stream, with no shelter from the rain.
He stopped helplessly and let the heavy rain pour down on his head.
He was soaked by the rain at this time. Standing in the wilderness, it seemed that only the sound of the heavy rain was left in the sky and the earth, and all other sounds were washed away by the rain.
He felt the rain falling between heaven and earth, his mood gradually calmed down, and he listened carefully to the rhythm of the falling rain.
There is the crisp sound of rain falling on stones, the dull hum of rain falling on gravel, and the blending and harmony of rain falling on leaves.
All things are wonderful, and there are traces to follow.
He calmed down and felt that he had benefited a lot.
This is the benefit of traveling. There will always be a wonderful blessing from nature late at night or at dawn.
But the heavy rain did not stop at all.
The raindrops fell to the ground like drums, mixed with the cold night wind. Xu Huaigu was very cold, so he couldn't sleep, so he decided to continue heading north in the rain.
It was raining at night, and someone with a sword was walking alone on the top of the cliff and mountain stream.
…
It was almost dawn, and the heavy rain finally slowed down. Xu Huaigu had left the dense mountain stream and entered deeper into Huangqi Mountain.
The reason why Huangqi Mountain is called Huangqi Mountain is that the mountain is rich in various precious medicinal herbs, especially astragalus. There are even occasional reports of the discovery of fairy grass.
This also makes Huangqi Mountain a relatively important mountain in Dayu Kingdom.
But with the arrival of many people seeking medicine, the dangers in the mountains cannot be underestimated.
Huangqi Mountain is full of all kinds of weird poisonous snakes and insects, which bite people's blood and kill people like hemp.
Sometimes the herb gatherers don't even know they have been bitten, but once the poison takes hold, they die extremely quickly, and there is no earthly way to save their lives.
There is a valley called White Valley, where white poisonous mist often appears for no apparent reason, and is blown away by the wind.
The poisonous mist is harmless to flowers, plants, birds and animals, but it is highly poisonous to humans. The skin will begin to corrode when exposed to the poisonous mist. If a small amount is inhaled, the internal organs will turn into blood, and the death will be extremely miserable.
But this is not the biggest threat to Huangqi Mountain. The biggest danger to Huangqi Mountain is the wild monsters in the mountain.
Originally, in order for a beast to transform into a demonic beast, it had to either have this excellent bloodline inheritance or rely on the creation of various treasures from heaven and earth, which was extremely difficult.
But the most indispensable thing in Huangqi Mountain is the magical medicine of fairy grass. Those places where there are no traces of people are the places where the medicinal materials are the most abundant.
When the beasts eat the fairy herb, their chances of turning into monsters are greatly increased, so monsters are rampant in Huangqi Mountain.
Despite this, herb collectors who are greedy for profit and want to risk their lives for wealth are still coming to Huangqi Mountain in an endless stream, but only a few people can make it out alive.
So there is a saying in Huangqi Mountain - "The mountains are like tigers that eat people, and the water is like the king of hell who demands life."
Mountains and rivers cost lives.
Xu Huaigu didn't really want to come to Huangqi Mountain, but according to the route, if he wanted to go to Qishui, he had to pass Huangqi Mountain, otherwise he would have to go around a hundred miles.
In order to save time and energy, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk into Huangqi Mountain.
Firstly, I really don’t want to take a detour, and secondly, I am also a second-level monk, and I have some ability to protect myself in front of monsters. As long as I am cautious enough, there should be no problems.
But he couldn't be more wrong.
When monks are at low levels, most of them rely on weapons and strength to fight with people. At this time, monsters and beasts naturally have a great advantage.
Some monsters, such as tigers and wolves, have extraordinary brute strength and hunting skills that are much better than humans. It is really impossible to guess based on normal cultivation.
Even if you are a monk, you will stumble if you are not careful.
…
Xu Huaigu has entered the depths of Huangqi Mountain. Through the lush canopy of trees, you can see the red sun rising slowly in the distance.
He took off his heavy sheepskin jacket soaked in rain, found a branch and hung it up, preparing to rest here for a while.
A red and white spider the size of a human hand crawled out from somewhere among the branches and got into his coat.
Xu Huaigu frowned deeply as he watched the spider get into his clothes. He opened the clothes with his sword and picked the spider onto the sword.
Fortunately, this is just an ordinary spider. Although it is highly poisonous, it has no intelligence and cannot use it. It will only crawl around the sword.
Xu Huaigu felt very uncomfortable. This was not the first poisonous insect he had seen.
On the road ahead, various scorpions and poisonous spiders were hidden in several stone crevices, and colorful ring-shaped poisonous snakes hung on the treetops.
Huangqi Mountain is indeed a place that cannot be taken lightly, but Xu Huaigu can be keenly aware of danger due to his cultivation, and there is no creature that can really threaten him yet.
What he is most worried about is actually the monsters in Huangqi Mountain.
After thinking for a while, he decided not to stay any longer and left Huangqi Mountain as quickly as possible.
Just as he was about to split the spider on his sword, he vaguely heard the shaking of leaves and a slight gasp.
Almost at that moment, Xu Huaigu's face turned cold, and with a shake of his right hand, he directly changed the direction of the "Cangshui" sword edge and sliced it backwards.
As the sword pointed back, something made a deep roar and fell to the ground.
This beast has gray-black hair, moves lightly and extremely skillfully when it lands on the ground, and is a wild wolf.
This wolf is not big, but it looks very well-proportioned, which makes it more flexible and helps it jump between the lush mountains and trees.
It was staring at Xu Huaigu fiercely at this time, and it was obviously somewhat restrained by Xu Huaigu's sword. It is obvious that this is a monster beast that has become intelligent.
It had been following Xu Huaigu in the woods, preparing to attack again at the moment when he was most relaxed, so it attacked him the moment Xu Huaigu shook off the spider, but Xu Huaigu still saw through it.
Xu Huaigu also didn't expect that the monster would know the strategy, so he just chose the time when he was most relaxed to attack.
He also took a few glances at the monster in his mind, tensed his mind, and held the dagger across his chest, not daring to neglect this natural predator.
The dagger gleamed coldly in Xu Huaigu's hand, which was frightening. The wolf also felt that Xu Huaigu was not easy to mess with, and its steps were erratic, testing forward and backward for a while, and even hesitating for a moment.
Xu Huaigu faced off against the wolf in the forest, not daring to be distracted at all.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a rustling in the trees behind him, and he was suddenly shocked!
The wolf's previous hesitation was just to show itself that it had companions nearby!
Sure enough, the wolf that had been confronting Xu Huaigu no longer retreated, but pushed forward several steps, with a fierce look in its eyes.
Xu Huaigu watched with dismay as another wolf jumped out of the grass and came to his side, and together they surrounded Xu Huaigu one after another.
But they were not in a hurry to take action. Instead, they took steps slowly to narrow the circle of encirclement, as if Xu Huaigu was already the prey they were determined to win.
Being attacked from both sides in the Huangqi Mountain where monsters were rampant, Xu Huaigu was quite scared, but his brows were filled with perseverance, and he held the sword in his hand tighter, never wavering.
He looked directly at the two wolves, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, his eyes became playful, and made an evil and provocative smile.
The two wolves actually understood the contempt in his movements, then raised their paws forward and scratched the ground with their sharp claws, leaving deep claw marks in response.
They grinned, revealing sharp fangs.
The battle is about to break out.
