Everyone descended down the mountain and found that it was an ordinary pointed mountain in the mountain range. Compared with other mountains, it was a head taller, but it was not the highest. It was the only one exposed above the clouds. It turned out that The strange thing is not the mountains, but the clouds, and those clouds should not be real clouds, but illusions produced by formations or spells.
Fang Tianmu led the ship forward. His starry eyes saw hundreds of "trickles" composed of star points, which were the "connections" of the spell. Following the "connections", he could find the exit of the formation. . Fang Tianmu discovered that these "trickles" were not dead, but alive. After the big ship entered, they could switch back and forth between spreading and gathering, just like food entering the esophagus, and the big ship was "swallowed" in , wrapped in it but with freedom of movement.
After more than ten breaths, the bow of the big ship pointed upright, and everyone climbed up the mountain to the top of the clouds. But this time the scenery they saw was different. There was really a Tianshan Mountain suspended in the air, like a human being. Snow-capped mountains, with heavy snow falling on them.
The big ship stopped at the foot of the mountain. There was no support at the foot of the mountain. If it stepped on the ground, it would fall from a height of thousands of feet. Everyone was not in a hurry to go up the mountain. They observed it for a while and saw that the snow-capped mountains were covered with snow, but there was no trace of coldness. Instead, they felt a little cold. The weather in the world is May, and there is a refreshing fragrance surrounding the entire mountain. The mountain is also very broad and can accommodate seven or eight large human cities.
Fang Tianmu couldn't see any clues, so Mu Ziyun suggested that he go explore the way by himself. After saying that, he jumped out of the big ship and stepped on the foot of Tianshan Mountain. His legs sank into the snow. The snow at the foot of the mountain was already deep enough to Mu Ziyun's waist. , but Mu Ziyun's eyes were dazed. After a few breaths, he turned back and said to everyone: "I mean, why isn't it cold? This is not snow at all, but a kind of grass that looks like snow. Come and take a look."
Everyone jumped off the big ship one after another, and Lu Xiaoyue, who was the last to get off, put the big ship back into the crystal bottle.
"It really is grass, there is such grass!" Those snow grasses have only one stem and no branches. The stems are covered with tiny leaves like snowflakes. Not only do they look like snow, they also feel as cold as snow, but they smell It smells delicious and floral. Moreover, the distance between the snow grasses is very short, and they almost grow close to the roots. With one foot down, everyone can bend seventeen or eighty trees. However, this grass is very tough. After being bent, it only takes seven or eight breaths to collapse. You can stand upright again, so people walking in this "snowfield" will not find the way they came if they look back.
"We have arrived at Tianshan Mountain," Lingdang said, "then our mission is to find Tianhu Lake. I remember what the tip the villagers gave us was?"
Kite added: "The way to find Tianhu is not to find the lake."
Ge Yuan thought: "Ze... is to make us abandon our common understanding of lakes, right? The lake here should be very different from the lake we know."
Mu Ziyun said: "Then let's go to the top of the mountain and have a look." He pointed to the highest point of Tianshan Mountain.
Everyone did not choose to fly, but connected together and walked step by step to the top of the mountain. The whole mountain was covered with that kind of snow grass. If there was a lake, they might not be able to see it. Maybe snow grass can also grow on the lake, which is just right. Covering the lake. Half an hour later, they climbed to the top of the mountain. Even the snow grass on the top of the mountain reached their waists and chests. What they saw in their eyes was as they expected, except for snow grass and snow grass, there was nothing else. Creatures.
"Where is the lake?" Lingdang said, "Let's spread out and search every corner. If we can't find it, then we have to think about the magic in this mountain."
"No need to go to such trouble," Du Xiaoyue said with a smile, "Mu Ziyun, just burn these jade pearl lotuses with fire. Isn't it clear at a glance whether there is a lake or not?"
"What Jade Pearl Lotus? Is that the name of these snow grasses? How do you know, Xiaoyue." Kite asked curiously.
"Um..." Du Xiaoyue was flustered for a moment, and then said, "Oh, I have traveled for many years before you, and I have heard a lot of things. These grasses have been recorded in the world for a long time. They are like snow and jade, and their names are like It’s called Jade Pearl Lotus. I just saw that they looked very similar to the ones I’d heard of, so I called them out.”
After Mu Ziyun and Fang Tianmu looked at each other, he snapped his fingers, and a little fire appeared on his index finger. Everyone first levitated their bodies to a height of two feet in the air, and then Mu Ziyun ignited the snow grass on the top of the mountain. Thinking that this grass is very easy to burn, the fire spread from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain in an instant. But the strange thing is that when this grass burns, it does not produce thick smoke and has no peculiar smell. On the contrary, the previous floral fragrance becomes more intense, and everyone is smoked. You won't feel dizzy even after a long time.
From the moment it started burning to the time it burned out, it only took half a cup of tea. No ashes were left on the mountain, and the soil was similar to the soil on earth, only much darker. Du Xiaoyue pointed to a place and said: "That piece of land looks quite clean, let's go there. After that, she pulled Hu Zi and floated there, and everyone followed, Mu Ziyun and Fang Tianmu Fly last.
As soon as they landed on the ground, everyone's hearts tightened instantly, because a powerful evil energy that they had never noticed before was bursting out from the soles of their feet. Du Xiaoyue exclaimed: "Look in front of you! There is nothing there!"
The evil energy was generated from under everyone's feet, but the owner of this evil energy emerged from the ground a few feet away in front of everyone. It was a monster, a beast, with a body like a toad enlarged hundreds of times, and a head on its head. Staring at a few curved purple-yellow hairs, its skin color is mainly cyan, but there are more than ten colors covering its surface. Its two eyes are like two protruding stone balls, which grow on the outside instead of Embedded in it, its belly occupies most of its body. Not only is it bulging greatly, but it is also covered with stone-like leather armor.
After the monster was unearthed, it seemed extremely excited. Its first reaction when it saw a living creature was to open its mouth. Suddenly, the airflow around everyone changed. In just a few breaths, a wave of energy surged toward the monster. The hurricane flow from its mouth looks like it is going to devour everything it sees.
The force was extremely strong, no less than the wind current created by the valley formed by the bones of the giant beast that everyone encountered before, and they couldn't escape even if they wanted to.
Ge Yuan shouted: "Don't get sucked in, run away." Even though he said so, he couldn't move his body and could only hold on to see who could hold on long enough.
Du Xiaoyue shouted: "Spray fire, fill its belly!"
Mu Ziyun made a decisive decision and sprayed flames towards the wind outlet. He even formed wings of fire behind his back, summoned three fire snakes and breathed out "Dragon Breath". But what no one expected was that in the "Dragon Breath" state, Mu Ziyun After spraying a stick of incense for a long time, the monster finally stopped. One can imagine how much space there was in this toad's belly.
After the wind stopped, everyone's bodies collapsed as if exhausted. Everyone was covered in sweat and still in shock. Only Fang Tianmu and Du Xiaoyue were still standing.
Mu Ziyun was so tired that he seemed to have exhausted most of his fire energy. He gasped: "I can't do it for the time being. You guys deal with it."
Ge Yuan raised his head and gasped: "Good guy, I said it seemed to have an impression as soon as I saw it, and I almost got sucked in. I finally remembered what it was."
The monster had eaten its fill of flames. Now it had its mouth closed and its eyes slightly squinted, as if it was digesting. Kite asked Ge Yuan, "Brother Yuan, do you know it?"
"I may know that I have seen a picture in the book of creatures of the ancient beast tribe. The picture is almost exactly the same as the one in front of me. It is an ancient demon recorded by many races. It is said to be a demon, but it is actually a beast. It's just that It specializes in doing bad things, so it is considered a demon. Its name is Tiantian Toad. It was once a member of the ancient beast clan, but after a hundred years of continuous evolution, it became an evil beast. Later, it broke away from the control of the ancient beast clan and continued to It has evolved into a monster-like existence. It is said that it is extremely hungry, or it is addicted to swallowing things. Everything that appears in front of it, whether life or death, will be swallowed into its belly, and no living thing can survive its devouring process. To escape, fortunately, the way to solve it is also recorded in the book, which is to fill the Tiantian Toad's belly with other things, which will cause it to enter a period of digestion, during which it will not have any reaction, even if we Even if you attack it, it won't move, but the animal's hide is as hard as armor, and it's as difficult as climbing to the sky.
Ling Ding said tiredly: "Then what should we do now, leave this place, or trap it first?"
Du Xiaoyue replied: "Since it won't recover for a while, let's stay here and think about where Tianhu is, so as not to go elsewhere and encounter other unclean things."
Ge Yuan touched his chin in confusion and said, "Why did this thing appear here? Why didn't I find it before?"
Fang Tianmuleng said: "Before burning the grass, there was no superpower."
Kite also answered: "Wangxiang and I have never felt the vitality of this monster before."
Mu Ziyun let out a long sigh and said: "After a long time of work, these burned grasses called Yuzhulian are probably a seal against the monster. We are equivalent to releasing the sealed demon into the human world again."
"This is bad news," Huzi said, "but think on the bright side, if we don't burn the grass, this mountain will be an ordinary mountain. After burning it, we can finally see its true appearance. You said, this Could it be like the Four Beast Realm, a cage where monsters are imprisoned?"
Everyone used their own methods to sense the entire celestial body. Except for the energy and breath of this monster, there was nothing else. Is this the only demon sealed in this mountain? Ge Yuan said: "Judging from the records of demons in ancient books, it is worthy of such a battle. It is not easy for a mountain to seal it." After that, he raised his feet and walked to the side.
Who would have thought that Du Xiaoyue suddenly shouted: "Stop! Don't go anywhere else!"
