It was already late at night when Gu Xifeng left the inn. Fortunately, the curfew in the city was not strict and there were very few government officials patrolling the road. Gu Xifeng took the horse out of the backyard of the inn. It was impossible to ride a horse out of the city silently.
Gu Xifeng found a poor family nearby, quietly opened the door lock of the family, tied the horse in the yard, and gently locked the door. When the family was awakened by the neighing of the horse in the yard, Gu Xifeng The west wind has been gone for a long time.
This is strange. The male owner of the family is also a smart person. After discovering this good horse, he went to the morning market at night and sold the horse at a cheap price. He used the money from selling the horse to do some small business. From then on, his life was no longer so tight. .
This matter was naturally not within the scope of Gu Xifeng's consideration. After solving the horse problem, Gu Xifeng easily left the city and found a remote grove. He could only deal with it outside that night.
There were a lot of mosquitoes at this time. Gu Xifeng took out a small bottle from his arms, poured out some yellow powder, poured it into his hand and patted it on his body. Then he found a piece of flat ground behind the bushes and sat down. The mosquitoes stayed away from Gu Xifeng as if they were seeing natural enemies.
Gu Xifeng sat cross-legged, made secrets with his hands, and quickly entered a state of meditation.
Since joining the Xinghe Sect, Gu Xifeng and Monkey have been inseparable, and their cultivation of internal skills has almost stagnated. However, Gu Xifeng's talent for internal skills seems to be still higher than his outsiders' training talent. Even if he does not actively practice, he has already crossed the threshold of the external release realm. I know that his maternal cultivation has only reached the middle stage of coagulation.
The journey of cultivation is one step at a time, each step is more difficult than the next. The further you go, the slower your cultivation becomes. Even in the Xinghe Sect, which is known as the number one sect in the world, most disciples only stay in the late entry stage and the early stage of advancement. Some disciples even continue to practice throughout their lives. Even the advanced state cannot be crossed.
At that time, the smoke Gu Xifeng released in the cliff cave of Spirit Beast Valley was the manifestation of the Yanbo Art. This was also the first time that Gu Xifeng used the Yanbo Art with all his strength, and the effect was very good.
Nothing happened all night. In the early morning of the next day, Gu Xifeng recovered from his meditation state. He stretched out a lot and felt comfortable all over. It had been a long time since he had practiced all night long. Although sleeping could slowly increase his internal strength, it was Extremely slow and much less efficient than meditating.
Although I was very reluctant to be separated from the monkey, it was also a good thing to be able to practice freely. There is no practice method similar to meditation in my home practice. I can only sleep at night to restore my strength, which is a waste of time.
Gu Xifeng looked around and saw that no one was peeping. He stood up, patted the dust on his body, and ran towards the north with all his strength. His first priority was to get a good horse to the next city. The journey was still far away, and he was tired just by relying on his feet. It is impossible to arrive as scheduled even if you die.
…
North of Ningguan City in Yingzhou is the border between Taichu and Beichu. The mountains here are undulating and the rivers are rushing. Taichu and Beichu have a tacit understanding to empty this area as a buffer zone between the two countries.
The top mountain where Gu Xifeng and Wu Beiwang met at that time was in this area. It was a small mountain here that was not too tall, and the most rarely visited mountain here was called Moyun Mountain.
There are three wonders in Moyun Mountain.
First, the forest is vast, with towering ancient trees, layer upon layer, blocking out the clouds and the sun. When you step into it, you will have a suffocating feeling of black clouds, which is also the origin of its name.
Second, there are many strange beasts in the mountains and they are extremely exclusive. There seems to be a manager here. The beasts in the mountains have an obvious intention to expel humans. If someone breaks in, the beasts of various races will unite to attack together, which makes the bravest hunters nearby. They didn't dare to enter the mountain easily.
The third is the solitary peak that reaches into the clouds. The main peak of Moyun Mountain is like a flock of chickens, standing upright among the mountains. This peak is like a giant sword without an edge thrust straight into Moyun Mountain, so it is called Tianjian Peak.
If there are still some martial arts masters who dare to go into the dense forest of Moyun Mountain to find out, no one dares to go to Tianjian Peak. It’s not that the mountain wall is so steep or dangerous, but there are all the masters who have dared to climb Tianjian Peak in the past hundred years. He never returned, never appeared again, and not even a body was found.
Legend has it that there is an immortal mansion on the top of Tianjian Peak, where real immortals live. These people dared to break into the immortal cave, which angered the immortal and was beaten to ashes by the immortal.
There is also a saying that Tianjian Peak is the way to climb to the sky. If you climb the peak, you can become an immortal. Almost no one believes this statement, because there are saints in the world who can fly in the air. If you climb the mountain, you can become an immortal. Where did Xian Na place the saint?
Ten days ago, a sudden change occurred in Moyun Mountain. Countless wild beasts in the forest fled out of the mountain. Each of them seemed to have lost their minds and ran away madly, regardless of any obstacles ahead.
The beast tide brought considerable losses to nearby villages, and many villagers were trampled by the running animals, resulting in many casualties.
After the beast tide went away, a respected old hunter called together hunters from nearby villages and young people with good skills, and wanted to go into the mountain to find out. When some timid and cautious people heard that they were going to enter Moyun Mountain, they decisively Refuse to participate, even if others look down upon you.
A total of thirteen people finally entered the mountain, each holding the necessary items for entering the forest and suitable weapons, and carefully walked into the dense forest of Moyun Mountain.
Among them, only the old hunter had entered Moyun Mountain when he was young. It was the first time for the others to enter, and they were both afraid and curious about things in the mountain.
The dense forest of Moyun Mountain is indeed as tall and dense as the legend says. It is difficult for sunlight to penetrate into the forest through the layers of canopy. Even though it is daytime, the forest is also very dark, not much better than the dark night with the bright moon in the sky.
At this time, no animals could be seen in the forest, and none of the chirping of insects, birds, or roars of animals could be heard. The silence in the dark forest was terrifying. Even the old hunter swallowed hard and looked extremely nervous when encountering this situation.
Two young men quietly approached the old hunter and gently advised him not to go any further and to go back and make plans.
The old hunter shook his head slightly, lowered his voice but said firmly: "We can't go back. This beast tide is very unusual. There may be a big change in Moyun Mountain. If we don't investigate clearly, what if there is another change? Neighboring villages will suffer."
Seeing how determined the old man was, the young man gritted his teeth and continued to follow the team.
The team moved forward for seven or eight miles, but still did not see any animals or other situations. When even the old hunter wanted to stop continuing, something suddenly happened ahead.
There was a huge sound in front of the dense forest. There seemed to be crashing sounds, roaring sounds, and the sound of falling trees. It was very complicated. Everyone didn't know what happened for a while. The old hunter motioned to others to wait where they were, while he was alone. Explore ahead.
The old hunter moved forward cautiously, trying his best to find shelter, for fear of an accident. After walking for about half a mile, he finally saw what happened. A scene he had never seen before in his life appeared in front of him.
Countless ancient trees were broken in front, and an area illuminated by the sun suddenly appeared. The scene under the sun was extremely bloody. Countless huge pieces of flesh and blood were scattered everywhere, dripping with blood, and almost turned into blood under the fallen trees. river.
It can be seen that these pieces of flesh and blood do not come from the same individual. With the eyesight of an old hunter, he can see that there are at least three completely different corpses, but he cannot tell what kind of creature they were.
Still moving in front was an extremely huge ape, visually estimated to be five feet tall. The muscles of the entire ape's body were exaggeratedly bulging, full of explosive power, exuding a wild beauty. He hammered his chest several times and roared. Rush forward.
The old hunter swore that he had never seen such a terrifying creature in his life until he saw its opponent.
"This... this is... a dragon?" The old hunter murmured with shock on his face, his eyes fixed on the creature in front of him.
Its head is like a camel, its eyes are like a rabbit, its neck is like a snake, its belly is like a mirage, its scales are like a fish, its claws are like an eagle, its palms are like a tiger, and its ears are like an ox. The tree was almost the same, and the old hunter couldn't tell how long this behemoth was.
This creature is very similar to the legendary dragon, with one difference. The legendary dragon has horns on its head, but this dragon-like creature does not. It is bare on the top of its head and looks more like a snake head.
I saw the majestic ape being tightly wrapped by the "dragon", letting out a miserable cry, the whole body was torn apart, and blood spattered everywhere, like a bloody rain, this time the old hunter I know where those pieces of flesh and blood came from.
The old hunter suddenly reacted. His experience and intuition told him that he must escape quickly. The old hunter reacted very quickly and quickly turned around to run away. When he turned around, he saw the last scene in his life, a pair of Huge scarlet eyes, followed by a bloody mouth.
The old hunter was swallowed whole by the "dragon" without any resistance.
Those waiting at the same place were a little panicked when they heard that there was no movement ahead and the old hunter did not come back. Two bold young men expressed their willingness to investigate. Of course, everyone agreed that even if something happened, they would not be the ones who died.
The two young men left and did not come back.
Now there are only ten people left in the same place. These people are like ants on a hot pot, waiting anxiously. At this time, a huge creature was slowly approaching them, making only a rustling sound.
A very alert young man suddenly noticed something and hurriedly shouted: "Run, spread out and run!"
Everyone had been frightened for a long time. When they heard such a shout, they really jumped up and scattered, but it was too late. The "dragon" had already arrived in front of them and devoured three of them in an instant.
The seven people who escaped caught a glimpse of this behemoth and almost wet their pants. The shock in their hearts could not be expressed in words. There was only one word left in their hearts, run away, run away as hard as they could.
Now that it has been exposed, the "dragon" no longer needs to be secretive and speeds up to chase the fleeing people.
The seven people who escaped fell one after another. Just as the "dragon" swallowed the fifth person, the entire dragon body shook violently and spurted out a mouthful of black blood. It seemed that after destroying several other giant beasts, the "dragon" won. Not easy.
The "dragon" actually showed emotions similar to human beings, a feeling of sadness. The "dragon" paused and chased the next person.
In the end, the sixth person was swallowed by the dragon, but the seventh person, the young man who warned him, escaped from Moyun Mountain. The "dragon" stayed where the person left for a long time, but finally did not chase him out. Turn around and crawl deeper into the jungle.
