At noon, Yu Qing regained his energy and stood up under the shade of a tree. The first thing he said when he opened his eyes was to continue on his way. He seemed to be more active than the others in Miao Qingtang.
There are several reasons, one of which is Ashheng's entrustment, which is the most important event of his trip.
After no longer worrying about safety, as the day went by, the longer I left the exam team, the more uneasy I felt, fearing that something unexpected would happen again.
Tie Miaoqing and others were naturally happy to do so, and they fully cooperated and set off as soon as they were told.
After climbing over the mountains and ridges for about an hour, the mountains and forests ahead were lush and green, with more and more vines becoming stronger and stronger, and there were gradually signs of rainforest. Sun Ping waved hello twice and led the way, taking everyone to a relatively secluded mountain nest before stopping.
Yu Qing looked around but didn't see the entrance to the tunnel. Just as he was about to ask, Sun Ping had already explained: "You can't rest for the next distance. You have to cross it in one breath. It will take more than an hour. Let's adjust the status here first." Get to the best and pass in one breath."
"What's the meaning?"
After being in contact for a while, he found that Tie Miaoqing, the proprietress, seemed to be less experienced than her subordinates, and she was not as experienced as her subordinates in some aspects, but Yu Qing couldn't help but look back and ask her.
Sun Ping explained on his behalf: "In front of you is the 'Ancient Mandrill Forest', which is the territory where a kind of monster called the 'One-horned Mandrill' lives in groups. This creature has sharp teeth and claws and is very powerful. A pair of sharp claws can crack stone monuments and crack stones." . Fortunately, these creatures are lazy and lethargic by nature, but we can easily wake them up when we pass by, so we have to move quickly and don’t stop. There is no need to tangle with them, and there is no need to provoke them.”
Yu Qing looked at the scene and felt something was wrong when he thought of resting here in advance. He hesitated and said: "It's just a group of mountain monsters. Do they need to be so serious?"
Zhu Shangbiao waved his hand, "Brother, a group of mountain monsters is nothing to worry about, and they can't do anything to us, but they have a leader. There are several 'non-monsters' among the one-horned mandrill's kin, and their cultivation is quite high. One of them may have arrived. If we really get into trouble with the Shangxuan Realm, with the strength of us people, no one will be able to leave this rainforest alive."
Not a monster? The corner of Xu Fei's mouth twitched. Do you want to open your eyes to the existence in books again?
Yu Qing frowned slightly, he certainly knew about "not being a monster".
It can be said that he is a demon cultivator, but how do you describe the temperament of this kind of demon cultivator? It can be said to be aloof, lonely, maverick, and eccentric.
In short, he is a demon cultivator who does not want to turn into human form.
Of course, this is measured in human terms.
In their own eyes, they don’t think that humans are the spiritual leaders of all things, they don’t aspire to be human, they don’t transform into humans, and they don’t label me as a demon cultivator. I am who I am, and I only practice my own way. Wherever I go, I will The true form of this deity is shown to others, even if the body is as huge as a mountain.
If you have cultivated enough, you will not transform into a human being or a monster, so you are said to be 'not a monster'.
Normally, those who can survive with such 'conduct' are indeed not easy to mess with.
Yu Qing was also a little worried. As Zhu Shangbiao said, no one here could be sure to block it, so he naturally persuaded him, "In this case, it is better to go around and be safe."
Zhu Shangbiao chuckled: "Brother, it's not as dangerous as you think. We are just passing by. As long as we don't hurt their fellow creatures, those 'non-monsters' won't take action. They are entrenched here. If we are connected, Don’t let anyone pass, and sooner or later you will get into trouble, and I’m afraid you won’t survive until now. At least they don’t have the power to be tyrannical yet. If people don’t offend them, they won’t offend them.”
Sun Ping said humbly: "That's right. This is just one of the reasons. The second is that you can cross it directly in about an hour, and you won't have to go far to reach your next destination. If you go around, it will take almost four hours. . It will be almost dark when the next hour comes, and you will have to take the night route to get around. It is better to avoid taking the night route in places like the Ancient Tomb Wasteland."
Zhu Shangbiao patted Yu Qing on the back and said, "Don't worry, we are not talking about it on paper. We have already gone through it once, so we know in our heart that everything will be fine."
Hearing this, Yu Qing felt relieved and nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
The group immediately rested on the spot.
After sitting cross-legged and meditating for almost half an hour, the group was ready to set off. Sun Ping took out the box containing the 'Blue Enchantress' and asked everyone except Xu Fei and Chong'er to apply light blue on their eyelids to facilitate the journey. It's easy to avoid the "one-horned mandrill" when you see it.
Flying into the forest, the group quickly walked through the mountain forest, flying on the grass, or trampling on the branches to fly past.
Sun Ping and his wife each got involved with Xu Fei and Chong'er. Everyone knew that Cheng Shanping had a problem with Yu Qing and did not let him do this. Cheng Shanping took the initiative to cut off the rear at the end.
It didn't take long before Yu Qing, Xu Fei and Chong'er saw what a 'one-horned mandrill' was.
It is similar in size to an ape, with long brown hair all over its body, and a three-inch-long blood-red horn on its head. It has short legs and long arms, and a pair of red sharp claws. It bounces like flying in the forest, and its arms grab the branches. and vines can swing far away, and chase them with a low growl.
Sleeping one-horned mandrills were constantly awakened and joined the chasing team. However, they could not catch up with the speed of a flying group, but the chasing scene of the monsters in groups was enough to make Xu Fei and Chong'er tremble with fear, fearing that they would be killed if they slowed down a little. Surrounded by monsters.
The one-horned mandrills chased after them for a while. Those who were tired of chasing and couldn't catch up naturally stopped, and those who were not yet tired continued to chase after them.
After walking like this for a while, Yu Qing suddenly turned around and asked Tie Miaoqing, who was accompanying him, "Did I hear wrongly? Why do I feel there is a fight behind me?"
He faintly heard a rumbling sound.
Tie Miaoqing, who was already looking back from time to time, said: "Yes, there are people fighting. Someone else has also broken into this place. Maybe we don't know that the one-horned mandrill along the way has been awakened by us and happened to bump into it. Is it possible that someone is following? Us?" He turned around and asked Sun Ping and others behind him.
Sun Ping, who was holding Chong'er, said: "It shouldn't happen. If they are following us, they should know that the one-horned mandrill has been awakened by us and should not follow us in."
Zhu Shangbiao, who was pulling Xu Fei away, said: "Don't worry, boss lady. There is a one-horned mandrill in the way. Even if someone follows, they won't be able to keep up. It should be someone who doesn't know happened to break in at this time. It's unlucky for them. They've already taken action." , I’m afraid it will be difficult to escape from the ancient mandrill old forest, unless we can defeat those 'non-monsters'. Fortunately, we took the first step. If the other party takes the first step, and we break in from behind, then we will be in misfortune."
Sun Ping: "It's also possible that a hostile one-horned mandrill broke in."
Cheng Shanping, who was walking alone at the end, looked back from time to time.
After a while, the sound of fighting was no longer heard.
Several people were talking, either because they were dealt with, or because they were traveling away from here, naturally they couldn't hear them anymore.
When the light in the sky gradually faded, Yu Qing, who kept flying by, was already a little overwhelmed and his speed gradually slowed down.
It's really hard for him to withstand such a long-term gallop based on his cultivation.
After Tie Miaoqing noticed it, he hesitated for a moment, discussed the matter in an upright manner, and did not need to avoid suspicion. After thinking about it, he took action and pulled Yu Qing's arm to help him.
In fact, Tie Miaoqing and others kept pressing down on their speed, and kept driving at Yu Qing's speed.
As the sky gets darker, mist gradually rises in the forest.
After the sky darkened, the style of the mountain forest ahead changed and became more desolate, and the one-horned mandrill chasing behind disappeared.
Tie Miaoqing shouted, "We should have walked out of the Ancient Mandrill Forest. Let's take a rest."
In the light and floating mist, everyone stopped one after another. Cheng Shanping was still behind, still observing the back, but he was doing his best.
After running for so long, everyone except Xu Fei and Chong'er sat down cross-legged.
No matter where he went, it was Yu Qing's habit to look around, or it could be said to be the habit of Guanzi Jue practitioners. When he looked in the direction he was coming from, he was slightly stunned.
Cheng Shanping walked behind a big rock. It seemed to be more convenient and no one would say anything. However, Yu Qing saw that something was wrong. It was because the surrounding fog changed too obviously due to Cheng Shanping's actions. Based on his experience, there was no need to use it. Guan Zi Jue can tell the general movements of Cheng Shanping at a glance.
After arriving behind the big rock, Cheng Shanping looked around and suddenly leaned over quickly to pick up two stones from the ground. Then he leaned his back on the big rock and carved on the big stone with a small angular stone.
Because of the unusual movement, Yu Qing subconsciously used Guan Zi Jue to look closely, paying close attention to the subtle changes in the mist.
The scratch formed an arrow on the stone, and then carved a box to frame the arrow inside.
After Cheng Shanping finished painting, he threw the small stone that he used as a carving knife and leaned against the big rock for a while. Then he walked out from behind the big rock and walked towards the big guy with a stone as big as a fist in his hand. Toss and play.
Yu Qing frowned slightly, confused and didn't understand what it meant.
When passing by a waist-high boulder in the valley, Cheng Shanping seemed to casually place the boulder on it.
Yu Qing's breath suddenly froze. When he saw Cheng Shanping approaching, he immediately turned around without touching his eyes. After he returned to the team, his eyes fell on the carved stone again, and then he stared at the stone he came from. The "ancient mandrill old forest" in front of him, his eyes were deep, showing some memories and thoughts.
Cheng Shanping did not sit down when he came here, but said to Tie Miaoqing: "Boss Boss, we are only two moments away from the next destination at most. It is almost dark, so why not get to the destination first? Please rest peacefully and take your time."
That makes sense, Tie Miaoqing looked at Yu Qing, "Are you okay?"
Yu Qing answered the question unintentionally, "I'll do something for you first." He stood up and trotted away. Tie Miaoqing and Sun Ping were speechless and turned their heads away.
When passing by the placed stone, Yu Qing squinted and saw that the content carved on the stone was consistent with what he had guessed. What he wanted to see most was the direction pointed by the arrow in the box. Cheng Shanping tossed the stone and played with it. It disturbed his vision.
After seeing it clearly, he immediately moved behind a big rock to take a look.
After showing up freely, he ran back directly, waved and said with a smile: "Let's go."
Great smile.
