After a long time, Niu Yuanping withdrew his eyes from the letter and stared at the bonfire with bored eyes.
The light and shadow of the flames are constantly twisting in the eyes... just like the slightly disturbed mood at this moment. Something is indeed happening.
In this letter, Qi Fei said that the time to implement the plan has begun and asked Niu Yuanping to go to Jiuxiang Mountain tomorrow!
There will be two eighth-level demon slayers waiting there. Afterwards, you can follow their arrangements and go to the western border area to take care of important things.
It seems that there is really no way to escape... The peaceful and leisurely days are finally coming to an end. For a moment, the roast rabbit meat next to it no longer tastes delicious... There is no way, since Qi Fei gave the order in the letter, Then take a trip.
It's just a little strange. Isn't the Sword Immortal Kingdom located in the northern border? Why go to the west to do business? What exactly he wanted to do was not stated clearly in the letter, so he suddenly became curious.
"Forget it, we'll know tomorrow." Niu Yuanping sighed and threw the letter into the fire... He knew the place Jiuxiang Mountain. That mountain was not far away from the area where he was currently. close.
If you want to go, you have to leave early! ...Otherwise, I won’t be able to get there tomorrow if I have enough trouble. He picked up the roasted rabbit and ate a few random bites, then covered the fire with earth.
In the dead of night, a figure quietly flew out of the cave and disappeared into the distant jungle. It looked like a cheetah or an ape.
This figure is none other than Niu Yuanping who rushed to Jiuxiang Mountain under the cover of night. ...The reason why Jiuxiang Mountain is called Jiuxiang Mountain is because it is like spring all year round, with lush flowers and fruits, and the aroma of ripe fruits in the forest is overflowing, with a rich aroma of wine.
But such lush mountains, full of melons and fruits, are extremely steep. There is almost no way up the mountain, and there are cliffs on all sides.
Because of this, few people venture into it, so that the fruits all over the mountain have been ripe and fragrant for a long time, but they can only be viewed from a distance by civilians but cannot be tasted up close.
But the Demon Slayer, who possesses unique skills and the power of cultivation, can cross the steep cliff wall and enter the mountain.
But demon slayers are usually very busy... they don't have time to come here just to eat some fruit. Therefore, Jiuxiang Mountain can be said to be a strange and inaccessible place.
Niu Yuanping thought to himself:
"Maybe this is why Qi Fei asked me to come to this mountain, because it is clean enough." When he arrived at Jiuxiang Mountain, it was already dawn.
At the foot of the mountain, Niu Yuanping looked up at the tall and straight stone wall in front of him through the skylight. It's dozens of feet tall!
This mountain is like a steep cliff that has been chopped with knives and axes and is lifted up into the clouds. Not to mention ordinary civilians, even monkeys will have a hard time climbing up!
At this moment, he bowed his body, like a leopard leaping into a stream, leaping from the bottom of the mountain and jumping ten feet in the air. The soles of his feet pressed against the rock wall, and with another jump, he had climbed over the cliff and entered the forest of Jiuxiang Mountain.
Jumping into the forest, you will see countless towering trees. Blocking out the sky and the sun, Niu Yuanping was buried underneath.
The trees here are so lush that it makes people breathless... The smell of alcohol in the air seems to make you drunk with just one breath.
It is indeed a secret place.
"Make an appointment in such a secret and inaccessible place. Explain what is to be done next, and most likely it will not be known to outsiders..." With this thought in his mind, he stepped on the moist and thick grass blades on the ground and walked inside. .
It was mentioned in the letter that the two eighth-level demon slayers who were about to meet would wait under a bluestone in the forest.
Probably in the southeast direction... So, move towards the southeast direction. But walking. Niu Yuanping suddenly realized that something was not right... The forest was really quiet and unusually quiet. Even though the mountain was on a cliff and inaccessible, at least there were birds and animals living here.
After all, such a lush and fertile forest, with piles of fruits and towering vegetation! How is it possible that there are no birds and animals?
But now, there is neither the song of birds nor the roar of animals, not a single sound at all. It's so strange... While I was doubting, the rich and intoxicating smell of alcohol in the air after fermentation kept creeping into my nostrils!
Niu Yuanping couldn't help but frown.
"The smell is really strong..." However, as soon as he finished saying these emotional words, he immediately felt the tree shadows in his field of vision swaying slightly!
Immediately after the temples on both sides of his head jumped a few times, he suddenly felt dizzy.
I screamed secretly and quickly held my breath.
"There's something wrong with this forest!" Even though the name is Jiuxiang Mountain, the smell of alcohol is floating everywhere in the forest, but Niu Yuanping doesn't believe that this level of alcohol smell can make him dizzy.
has a problem! ...There is definitely a problem! ! After noticing the abnormality, Niu Yuanping had gradually slowed down his pace, and now he had stopped going deeper into the forest.
Hold your breath, stabilize your mind, and then turn around suddenly, intending to leave quickly. However, as soon as he turned around, he saw two figures standing on the road he had to pass to leave this mountain forest!
They were two people with their faces covered, covering their mouths and noses, leaving only a pair of eyes outside. Seeing them, Niu Yuanping immediately thought of the two eighth-level demon slayers Qi Fei mentioned in his letter!
I couldn't help but be shocked,
"You're actually covering your face!!" It seemed that he was specifically trying to cover his breath to avoid inhaling the smell of the forest.
He looked prepared. It seems that he already knew there was a problem in this forest! Or could it be that the abnormal situation in the forest was caused by the two of them?
My heart was immediately shocked:
"What happened! Why did you harm me?! Is this Qi Fei's intention?!"
"Keng!!——" Although he was confused in his heart, there was no hesitation in his hands. Decisively draw out the demon-slaying sword!
He concentrated his energy and rushed towards them. When one of them saw this, he quickly said:
"Brother Yuanping! Don't do anything! We are our own!" Niu Yuanping, who was running quickly, heard this and immediately understood and was sure:
"You know my name... I am indeed sent by Qi Fei!!" Are you trying to trick your own people? Deliberately making me intoxicated?
Only a devil would believe such nonsense! Without stopping, he jumped suddenly.
"Stab it! -" In the mid-air, the sword glowed with thunder, and the sound was like cracking silk! Thunder and lightning as thick as an arm quickly hit the two eighth-level demon slayers.
"Thunder Soul Hundred-Zhang Slash?" When the two people saw it, they were startled and hurriedly avoided it. This move of Thunderbolt immediately opened a path!
Niu Yuanping took advantage of the situation and rolled away. The two eighth-level demon-slayers had just stabilized their bodies when they saw him jumping into the shadow of a tree in the distance.
"So alert..." one of them sighed,:
"The rumors are indeed true, it's an extremely rare Thunder Soul Demon Slayer!"
"It's such a pity that such a talented person should be handed over to evil spirits..." Another person also sighed.
"There is no other way! We must put the overall situation first... We should just follow Master Qi Fei's instructions!"
"Well... he has already inhaled a lot of the Ecstasy Incense. He shouldn't be far away. Let's chase him quickly!" The two figures flashed and chased after him.
