Facing the farmer's exaggerated reaction, Zhang Yuanqing and his teammates looked at each other and said pleasantly: "Old man, don't be afraid, we won't hurt you, we just want to ask some questions."
The farmer turned a deaf ear and kept kowtowing:
"Master, officer, uncle, I'm just a cowherd. Please, don't take me there..."
Next, no matter what Zhang Yuanqing and others asked, the farmer always looked frightened and uneasy, kowtowing and begging for mercy. It was difficult to communicate. Could it be that this NPC needed specific code words and slogans to trigger it? Zhang Yuanqing and others fell into deep thought.
"Hey, uncle!" Brother Red Rooster couldn't help it anymore, grabbed the farmer's collar, lifted him up in the air, and cursed, "I'm asking you, are you deaf or blind? Tell me again. Believe it or not, I will burn you to death with a fire."
As he spoke, he raised his knife and with a "chi" sound, the knife burst into bright flames and emitted scorching heat.
"Mo Zong is in that mountain! Legend has it that as long as you walk through the dense forest ahead and reach the end, you can see Mo Zong where the immortals live." The farmer pointed to the mountains in the distance and explained quickly.
"That's it." Zhang Yuanqing's mouth twitched. He instinctively thought that the information in the S-level dungeon might require method and wisdom.
With this in mind, he glanced at Tianxia Guihuo and others and found that everyone had similar expressions.
"You can get there just by walking through this forest?" Brother Red Rooster thought for a moment, turned to look at his teammates behind him, and reminded, "I am keenly aware that something is wrong."
"You don't need to be sharp to notice something is wrong." Tianxia Guihuo stared at the villager with a serious face and asked, "What were you afraid of just now? Don't take you anywhere. Is there any danger in the mountains?"
The hand knife emitting high temperature acted as a good deterrent. The farmer answered tremblingly: "The mountains are where the gods live. Of course it is dangerous. This forest is also very dangerous. The elders in the small village told us to stay away from this forest because Everyone who went in died inside."
"The gods of Mo Zong didn't like to be disturbed, so they arranged monsters to guard the forest. A few years ago, someone came here and said they wanted to go into the mountains. They captured many villagers to lead the way, but none of them came back. After that, one after another Another golden man came and died inside."
"The golden man..." Tianxia Guihuo frowned: "What year is it now?"
The farmer looked confused.
Xiahou Aotian sneered: "You ask a mountain villager who doesn't know a word of the year name? There's nothing wrong with you, but since he mentioned the Jin people, it should be from the Southern Song Dynasty."
Sun Senmiao spoke enthusiastically: "It was mentioned in the introduction of the deputy wood that Mo Zong obtained a treasure passed down from ancient times. Whoever gets this treasure will conquer the world. The Jin people sent troops to Mo Zong. The purpose is self-evident."
Afterwards, they asked in detail about the legend of the forest, as well as the number and batches of Jin people entering the forest. After sending the villagers away, everyone discussed in low voices.
"The Jin people came three times and the whole army was wiped out. But they may not have died in the woods, they may have died in the government city." Tianxia Guihuo started, saying: "We need a cannon fodder to go into the woods to step on thunder and figure out what's inside. Crisis." As he said this, he looked at the three star officials. Only the Night Travel God could do this kind of thing.
"No need to bother!" Brother Red Rooster patted his chest, "I will just set fire to this forest." Seeing no one objected, Brother Red Rooster immediately raised his hands and condensed a fireball with a diameter of three meters, and the hot air flow Making everyone retreat, he sprinted a few steps and threw fireballs with all his strength.
"boom!"
The fireball exploded in the dense forest, sending up dazzling flames and thick smoke, but it quickly subsided and the fire did not burn.
"Set fire to the mountains will not work." Zhang Yuanqing said: "If it were that simple, the Jin people would have set fire to all the mountains."
Everyone looked calm, not surprised that the fireball failed to ignite the forest.
Brother Red Chicken's eyes widened: "Did you all guess it?"
Xiahou Aotian sneered: "Isn't this obvious?"
Brother Red Rooster suddenly became a little unhappy: "Then why didn't you remind me?"
Because you are a fire master, Zhang Yuanqing muttered: "Practice is
The only criterion for testing truth. "
Brother Hongji then smiled and said, "What you say makes people comfortable."
Madoka, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke with a cold voice: "Don't waste your time."
Zhang Yuanqing immediately took out Little Red Riding Hood and shook out two corpses. One was a long-haired beauty wearing light white jeans and a black T-shirt, and the other was a haggard and cold middle-aged man.
The former is Princess Yinyao, and the latter is a Level 4 Yin corpse obtained from the ghost city. It is worth mentioning that Princess Yinyao was wearing a pocket bag around her waist and holding a small speaker in her hand. As soon as she appeared, Just raise the trumpet.
"My fellow heroes, I am Yin Yao, Princess of the Ming Dynasty. I am honored to meet you."
"Holy shit!" Brother Red Chicken exclaimed, "She can talk? Isn't she an inferi?"
Princess Yinyao's scarlet eyes looked at Brother Hongji: "I have always been able to speak. Last time in Qin Feng Academy, you slandered Yuanshi Tianzun for only selecting beautiful corpses and having bad habits. I haven't settled the score with you yet. Woolen cloth."
"Ah, this, Thunder Monkey Thunder Monkey..." Brother Red Rooster was embarrassed again.
Zhao Chenghuang and Sun Miaomiao were also stunned, with astonished expressions on their faces. This was the first time they had seen a self-aware Inferi. When Yuanshi Tianzun controlled the Level 4 Inferi to move towards the forest ahead, Sun Miaomiao hurriedly shouted: "Hey, You, you want to use the inferi of the saint realm to explore the way?"
"What's the problem?" Zhang Yuanqing asked.
Are you a prodigal? Sun Miaomiao and Zhao Chenghuang showed exactly the same expressions.
Zhao Chenghuang said: "Let me explore the way." He couldn't help but take out the heavy bronze box. The lid of the box opened with a clang. A shadow in a tattered robe appeared behind Zhao Chenghuang. The ghost raised his hand and extended his fingertips. A thin black thread came out and penetrated into the bronze box.
A dark, metallic warrior warrior jumped out of the box, and under the control of the shadow, walked towards the forest with stiff steps.
"The action range of the mercenaries is three hundred meters. We need to explore while moving forward." Zhao Chenghuang said.
While everyone's attention was focused on the warriors, Zhang Yuanqing approached Princess Yinyao and whispered: "Who asked you to bring it out."
"I think it's cute," Princess Yinyao lifted up Zhang Yuanqing's T-shirt and stuffed the small speaker into his belly so that the sound would be quieter.
"I think you have plans to cause trouble written all over your face." Zhang Yuanqing lowered his voice and said angrily: "That's not what you thought when you first saw it. You almost killed me. You should know its origin."
"His previous owner used it to record a bunch of filthy words to curse me. I said a few days ago that I was going to smash it. Now it is well-behaved. It is a prop that knows the current affairs." Princess Yinyao explain.
Just as he was talking, Zhao Chenghuang suddenly said in a deep voice: "The contact between the military mercenaries and me has been severed."
Zhang Yuanqing followed the sound and saw that the thin black thread extending from the shadow's finger had been broken and hung limply on the ground.
"What's going on inside?" Tianxia Guihuo asked hurriedly.
"It's a tree demon." Zhao Chenghuang said: "This forest is full of tree demons. They attacked my warriors. Their combat power is about level 4. There are many of them. Their attack method is physical output."
Xiahou Aotian touched his chin and said: "Dryad, and it is a tree demon with high fire resistance. The warriors are disconnected within five minutes. The forest is so large, and the number of tree demons is about ten meters per tree. If If they had to force their way through the forest, they would probably have to face hundreds of tree demon attacks. Even if they had healing and defensive items, they would probably have to reduce their numbers.
"Yuanshi, it's your turn to take action." Now that the enemy's identity and attack methods have been explored, it's easy to handle. Just dispatch Yuanshi Tianzun directly.
Under the gaze of Xiao Yuan and others, Zhang Yuanqing slowly took off his T-shirt and pants, leaving only a pair of black boxer briefs. Asano Ryo and Sun Miaomiao exclaimed and looked away anxiously, while Guan Ya and Xiao Yuan did not react.
"Keep it safe for me!" Zhang Yuanqing originally wanted to throw the clothes and pants to Guan Ya, but after thinking about it, he threw it to Brother Hongji. Then, he grabbed the Green Emperor Jade Belt from the inventory and strode into the forest.
"rustle……"
He stepped on the fallen leaves covering the ground and entered the forest. As soon as he entered the forest, the light immediately dimmed.
The layered tree crowns blocked the sunlight. Zhang Yuanqing moved forward cautiously, observing the surrounding plants.
The trees here are all thick and tall, and the thinnest ones can only be hugged by one person. The main trunks and branches are dark, and the surface is smooth and shiny, as if coated with a layer of waterproof and fireproof metal film. These trees should be of special species. Unfortunately, there is no wood demon in the team, so we can't Give us popular science, Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself.
A straight punch hit the tree trunk next to him, and the tree trunk broke with a click. "Not a dryad."
He continued to move forward. After walking for nearly five minutes, he saw a big tree with three people hugging each other standing in front of him. Under the tree, there was a dark terracotta warrior. The heavy body was pressed into the soft soil. The whole body was intact. It should be It is damaged, but the characteristics of the soil give it the ability to "regenerate".
Speaking of which, Huang Taiji's soil is still here with me, and this guy doesn't care about me. Zhang Yuanqing suddenly remembered this.
Approaching the soldier, he saw broken bones on the ground, ribs, leg bones, skulls, etc. When a normal human dies, the skeletons are intact, but these bones were scattered on the ground, more like food on a table, with all the flesh and blood eaten away. , bones were scattered randomly, and besides the bones, he also saw broken armor and a few rusty knives.
"These should be the skeletons left by the Jin soldiers. There are signs of being turned over on the fallen leaves. Did Zhao Chenghuang check them?" As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Zhang Yuanqing suddenly felt his ankles tighten. He looked down and saw two roots that were like tentacles. The beard was wrapped around the ankle.
Immediately afterwards, there was a rustling sound, and several flexible vines with green leaves sprang out from the layered canopy, tying him up. At the same time, the smooth and shiny trunk of the big tree in front split. Two deep black eyes and a gap where fangs intertwined. The roots retracted into the ground, while the vines pulled Zhang Yuanqing and sent him into the gap in the tree trunk.
Zhang Yuanqing immediately activated the "Beast Transformation" skill. Thick black hair grew on his body, his body grew taller, his head became larger and rounder, and round ears grew on the top of his head. In an instant, he transformed into a two-meter-tall black bear, and the vines that bound him were broken by the sudden increase in size during the transformation.
"Roar!"
The black bear bared its teeth and roared, saliva dripping along its white teeth, and the entire forest trembled with the roar.
It stood upright and pushed hard with its forelimbs. It was not afraid of fire or thunder and lightning. The indestructible tree trunk broke with a sound, and the trunk was like a crack in the eye, and the gap where the fangs intertwined closed.
The black bear immediately launched a charge in the forest, pushing one giant tree after another. The tyrannical tree demon in front of it was as weak as a casually trampled weed.
Outside the forest, Guan Ya and others heard the sound of a huge collapse and the roar of a black bear in the distance, and felt a strong sense of security in their hearts.
"It's such a huge movement, tsk tsk, Yuanshi Tianzun, when we formed a team together in the Sea of Yashan, he was still the weakest one." Brother Hongji sighed with emotion: "After two or three months of hard work, he is better than us."
He is better than us all. The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is interested. He personally led Yuanshi Tianzun into the official Guan Ya. Xiao Yuan, the former Saint Realm boss, Sun Miaomiao and Zhao Chenghuang who bullied Yuanshi Tianzun during the ring competition, boasted that they are Xiahou Aotian, the protagonist, was silent.
"Hey, why aren't you talking?" Brother Red Rooster looked at them, but no one paid him any attention.
Princess Yinyao raised her trumpet and said, "They think you are mean-mouthed!"
Brother Hongji was stunned: "Did I say something wrong?"
He said angrily: "Are you being geographically discriminatory and looking down on people from Huadu?" Still no one paid attention to him.
Princess Yinyao put the trumpet to his ear and whispered, "It's you they are discriminating against."
At the end of the forest is a rugged cliff dwelling with a three-meter-high stone door embedded in the wall. The stone door is engraved with a Bagua relief, with raised characters such as Qiankun Zhenkanli.
Zhang Yuanqing slumped on the ground with a pale face and said: "This door cannot be opened. It should require a specific key. My task has been completed, and I will leave it to you."
After transforming into a beast, his muscles were torn and the pain of broken bones and tendons was still tormenting him. He was reluctant to use the Qing Emperor Immortality Technique and Life Source Liquid. The self-healing skills of the Mountain God Scepter were not very effective, so he could only endure it. Guan Ya Probably because he wanted to show off his affection in front of Madoka.
When I first came here, I saw Zhang Yuanqing's miserable state and quickly knocked on his legs and shoulders, almost knocking him.
He died on the spot and was scolded by Zhang Yuanqing with tears in his eyes.
At this time, he was standing in front of the door and observing the Shimen with Sun Miaomiao and others.
"The secret to opening the door should be in the Bagua Diagram. If I remember correctly, this is what bachelors are good at." Guan Ya said, and Sun Miaomiao turned her head, "Xiahou Aotian, I leave it to you. The Mohist Mechanics should be an organization dominated by bachelors. .”
Xiahou Aotian frowned: "It is the domain of bachelors, yes, but this thing is like an electronic lock. I am a locksmith, but I can only open locks. Cracking the password of an electronic lock and opening the lock are two different things."
"You just can't handle it." Brother Red Rooster still hasn't learned his lesson and is still outspoken.
At this time, Xia Hou Aotian suddenly lowered his head and stared at the black iron ring on his thumb attentively, as if listening to some sound. After a few seconds, he held his head high and said proudly:
"Who says I can't figure it out? The Bagua map on the door is actually the Bagua gate-sealing formation passed down from the pre-Qin era. It can be unlocked by following the correct route and entering the spiritual power. It's simple!" After saying that, he pressed randomly on the embossed fonts. , and then pressed the central Taichi Fish, and heard the stone door shake with a "bang" and slowly slide to one side.
Behind the stone gate is not the dark and gloomy belly of the mountain, but a corridor with swaying candlelight. The corridor has obvious traces of excavation and is not naturally formed. The flat wall is stained with dark red blood, and at the entrance of the corridor, there is a floor of corpses.
