"Young master, there is no need to worry too much. Regarding the fairy treasure, it all depends on luck." Wei Ran had no choice but to tell the truth. Of course, his answer would bring some negative emotions to everyone. Originally, they entered the mountain range later than many others. There were many, and I thought I could close the distance by riding a horse, but now it seems that this is not feasible.
"Actually, it's not difficult to judge how far we are from the martial arts cultivator in front of us. We just need to keep walking forward. If we don't meet other martial arts cultivators all the time, it undoubtedly means that we are far away from the martial arts cultivator in front of us." Regarding Wei Ran's answer was not surprising. After thinking about it, Lan Jing decided to express his opinion.
"What the young master said is true. Now we need to walk more into the mountains. Of course, at the same time, everyone must be prepared to make futile efforts." Following Lan Jing's approach, Wei Ran's thoughts suddenly became clear. Based on the current situation, Lan Jing's statement is undoubtedly their best choice.
In this way, we walked and chatted. Before dark, everyone reached the end of the river and were completely shocked by the scene in front of them. It turned out that the source of the river was in the mountains, and the waterfall rushing down was very spectacular.
"It's getting late, let's rest here tonight." After confirming that the river under the waterfall was very narrow and there shouldn't be any powerful beasts in it, Wei Ran decided to rest for the night in the open space next to the waterfall, surrounded by mountains on one side. , surrounded by water on one side. In Wei Ran's opinion, although it is a bit noisy here, it should be very safe.
"Then let's simply pack up and get ready for dinner." After finding a sheltered spot, Lan Jing took the lead and walked there.
After everyone tied up the horses, everyone started to barbecue under the leadership of Lu Yunyou. Because there was still enough food, everyone was now very grateful to Lu Yunyou for his foresight.
If Lu Yunyou hadn't reminded them to bring some ferocious birds as food, they might now be either hungry or could only eat dry dry food, and there would never be fat roasted meat.
Ignoring these circumstances, due to the proximity to the water source, everyone had already roasted the meat before nightfall and spent the whole day running around, which meant that it was more leisurely for dinner in the evening.
After everyone had eaten and drank, they would discuss tomorrow's issues. Except for Lan Rou, everyone else sat together to discuss whether they should continue moving forward or turn around and go back tomorrow.
The Shigu Mountain Range is no safer than the Fierce Forest, even if it is only the outer area, if they are going to enter the mountain, they must be prepared to deal with unexpected situations.
After Lan Jing asked everyone what they thought about entering the mountain, Fang Qing and others expressed their opinions and discussed the situation of continuing to enter the mountain and returning along the original road.
By the time the discussion was over, most people agreed with the proposal of dividing some people to continue moving forward, while the other group stayed in place to take care of the horses.
The terrain in the mountains is too complex, so they have to cross mountains and ridges. Taking the rogue horses will not only be a drag, but may also bring danger to them. After all, the ferocious beasts in the Ancient Mountains are always more powerful than the ferocious beasts in the ferocious forest, but if they are left alone, They were too worried about getting off the horse, so they could only leave some people to take care of the horse.
But on the other hand, some people suggest that whether they are advancing or retreating, they should advance and retreat together, because after being separated, the overall strength of the two teams will be weakened accordingly, and they may not be able to cope with dangerous situations. When someone mentioned this possibility Afterwards, Lan Jing, Wei Ran and others continued to deliberate.
It wasn't until late at night that the discussion between Wei Ran, Lan Jing and others ended. After repeated discussions, they decided to leave for another day and see if it didn't work. If it didn't work, they would split up.
After getting the results, everyone rested separately. Running around for three days in a row made everyone very tired. During the rest, no one had the energy to dislike the sound of the water under the waterfall being too noisy.
Early the next morning, when the sky was just getting bright, Wei Ran called everyone up. After a simple breakfast, everyone continued to move forward along the mountains. They didn't stop until a mountain ridge crossed them and blocked their way. , having no other choice, after resting for a while, Wei Ran took everyone on a detour.
As a result, at the end of the day, they didn't see even a single person, but there was not much food left with them. Seeing the moon climbing up into the sky, everyone felt exhausted and exhausted from running around. Fortunately, they didn't have any food tonight. There’s dinner to worry about.
As the day went on, everyone became more and more aware that the plan they discussed last night must be implemented, and they could not let the horse delay their schedule any longer.
In addition, everything in the mountains told them that they were far away from the people in front of them. If they wanted to continue walking into the mountains, they had to separate. So, after dinner, Lan Jing and Wei Ran directly chose to go in. The choice of Mt.
Lu Yunyou, Fang Qing, Lan Rou and two sixth-level martial arts cultivators stayed behind to take care of the horses, while the others continued to the depths of the mountains.
Now there are no ferocious beasts or martial arts cultivators at the edge of the mountain range. The people who stay are unlikely to be in danger, so there is no need to keep a few more sixth-level martial arts cultivators. The only thing that is worrying is Lan Rou's safety. Although the two left behind are Although he is a sixth-level martial arts cultivator, he still cannot ensure Lan Rou's safety.
If anything goes wrong, no one else can afford it. Lan Rou's safety is very important, but if they take Lan Rou into the mountains, there will be many inconveniences along the way. If they encounter danger, they have to protect Lan Rou. So it's not a wise move to take Lan Rou with you.
For Wei Ran and Lan Jing, the reason why Lan Rou stayed was the originally safe environment at the edge of the mountain range, and the changes in the situation in the mountain range when they came back from inside. As long as they could come back in time, they wouldn't have to worry about Lan Rou and others. There will be danger.
Of course, everything has a contingency. If Lan Rou encounters danger, then according to Wei Ran and Lan Jing's method, Lan Rou and others can escape along the edge of the mountain range, and then return from the Beiguan area, near Beiguan These areas are places where ferocious beasts are rarely seen, so it is safer to go back from there.
After everyone had determined the specific arrangements, they all rested separately. Early the next morning, Wei Ran and Lan Jing specifically told Lu Yunyou and others some things they needed to pay attention to, and then the eight people set off to leave. Naturally, all eight horses were left to the care of Lu Yunyou and others. .
At the same time, Ni Youbin and his friends encountered some trouble in the swamp that day, so they were unable to reach the place where the vision was seen the next day. However, on the third day, they still managed to catch up with those in front. People, or in other words, caught up with most of the people in front, but they were still some distance away from the place where the vision was.
As they continued to move forward, there were more and more corpses of martial cultivators and ferocious beasts, and the smell of blood in the air was heavier. Those ferocious beasts and martial cultivators fought because of food issues. After all, neither party could go hungry to track them down. Colorful fairy orchid.
Those fighting situations made the atmosphere even more tense. Fortunately, they were two teams moving forward together, so there was no need to worry too much.
During the march, two or three groups kept discussing the situation ahead, and no one felt bored.
In front of them, teams of dozens of people could be seen everywhere. Ni Youbin and the others naturally had nothing to attract attention. They were all busy on their way.
"Sir, do you feel that the atmosphere here is different from the previous places?" As he approached the Immortal Treasure, Ni Ming became more and more excited. He had nothing to do, so he wanted to talk to Ni Youbin.
"Really?" Ni Youbin raised his eyebrows and sniffed the smell in the air, then said with a surprised look on his face: "The smell of blood seems to be mixed with another smell, I can't tell."
"I don't know what the smell is, but it smells quite comfortable." Seeing that Ni Youbin did not deny his statement, Ni Ming added his feelings.
"Indeed," Ni Youbin nodded and looked directly at Ni Wen in front, wanting to ask his third grandfather for advice.
"Master, what on earth is that thing? Why haven't I seen it before?!" Ni Ming asked curiously before Ni Youbin spoke.
"Didn't you say that? I don't know," Ni Youbin shook his head, showing a hint of impatience.
"Then go and ask," regardless of this, Ni Ming directly suggested to Ni Youbin.
"If you want to know, just ask yourself!" After being urged by Ni Ming, Ni Youbin didn't want to ask anymore.
"Master, I, Ni Ming, have a low status. How can anyone be willing to pay attention to me?" At this point, Ni Ming's tone was quite helpless. After all, as an attendant, he is still the weakest among all the guards.
"What you said makes sense," Ni Youbin suddenly realized that he wanted to laugh. After finally controlling his inner feelings, he calmly said, "I'd better ask."
"Aura," it turned out that before Ni Youbin could reach Ni Wen and others, Ni Wen's voice came over: "The richness of the aura here may be related to the existence of the immortal treasure. It's a pity that the smell of blood in the air makes the aura filthy." Got it!"
"The spiritual energy here is so abundant and has been gathering for a long time. It must be that the immortal treasure is not far away from us." When Ni Youbin was thinking about what the spiritual energy was, Liu Xingyang's voice came.
"What Brother Liu said is true. Only immortal treasures can exude such refreshing aura," Ni Wen nodded and directly agreed with Liu Xingyang's statement.
"It seems we have to speed up a little bit," Liu Xingyang suggested to everyone directly as he looked at the martial arts cultivator in front of him who might have picked up the pace again because he found the spiritual energy.
