Chapter 057
At noon on the second day, Lan Fengyi led Yan Ruojuan, Guo Yufei, Aju, and Yue Xiaomao and set off. Naturally, they were accompanied by another five-person team led by Zhou Liru.
The ten people descended from the mountain and walked eastward along the highway. After a while, they came to the boundary of Yinlong Mountain.
Longyin Mountain is located at the junction of Shanzhou and Manzhou, and Manzhou is no longer the territory of the Great Hong Kingdom. The main ethnic group in Manzhou is the Barbarian tribe. The Barbarians have lived in this state for thousands of years. The Bunun people regard "Barbarian" as their name.
This state was named and is still used today.
The barbarians can be said to be a dominant family in Manzhou, but internal divisions have emerged. More than a dozen tribes are fighting against each other, wars continue, and the people are displaced. The monsters in Longyin Mountain were also very weak at first, only operating within the territory of Manzhou, and occasionally becoming bolder.
, killing the lone old and young, eating meat and drinking blood.
However, most of the energy of the barbarian tribes was focused on internal fighting. Although some monks from the tribe were sent to eliminate the demons, they were too few and weak to achieve success.
Each and every one of them left without returning, but the monsters became increasingly powerful and unscrupulous, daring to kill people in broad daylight and knowing their taste by eating marrow, and finally extended their claws to Shanzhou a few months ago.
The so-called demons refer to intelligent beings whose demon souls took away the bodies of other species and combined with them.
The demon soul is different from the human soul. The human soul is born and conceived together with the body, and the body and soul perish after death. However, the demon soul is bred from the chaotic energy between heaven and earth, and it is particularly obsessed with spiritual energy.
Human monks who want to improve their cultivation rely on practicing Yin Jue and taking spiritual materials and elixirs. Monsters can also absorb the essence by devouring the flesh and blood of living creatures, thereby improving their cultivation and absorbing more spiritual energy.
Humans are the most common creatures that are rich in energy, so demons like to hunt humans the most. This is also the crux of why humans and demons have been fighting for thousands of years without peace.
Yinlong Mountain is a group of mountains with continuous ups and downs. The mountains have towering trees, steep peaks and steep cliffs, and are deserted. Someone in the previous dynasty once said that even if a giant dragon were hidden here, it would be difficult to find it. Therefore, it is
Named Longyin Mountain.
After walking together for a while, the two groups separated. One headed to the southeast, the other to the northeast, and they searched separately.
Lan Fengyi and a group of five people headed southeast. There was no road under their feet, and the walking became more and more difficult. The vines were entangled in the towering ancient trees, and various unnamed vegetation grew fat and strong, with horizontal roots, stems, branches and leaves intertwined together.
, like one wall after another.
Lan Fengyi drew out her sword and kept slashing to clear the way. After slashing for a while, her arms gradually became sore, so she asked Yue Xiaomao to watch from the front while she and the other three followed behind. Yue Xiaomao kept chopping for nearly an hour.
, replaced by Guo Yufei to chop and open the way.
"Ah! What is that?" Ah Ju suddenly screamed and raised her hand to point forward. Everyone looked at where she was pointing and saw a long wooden pen standing on the ground with a human head stuck on the top.
, this human head has been severely decomposed, with almost no flesh and skin left except the skull. But the skull is very large, so he must have been an extremely tall person during his lifetime.
Lan Fengyi said: "Be careful, we have already reached the territory of Manzhou. These bones are obviously not from our Bunun tribe, but from the Barbarian tribe."
"Ah, the barbarians are so tall! They are probably taller than Senior Brother Yue." Guo Yufei said.
Moon Cat chuckled, raised his hand and scratched the back of his head.
Lan Fengyi said: "I have seen barbarians before. Compared with us, both men and women are giants. Their eyes are like snakes, with vertical pupils. They are particularly strong, ferocious and aggressive. If we encounter them later, Qian
Don't get into any arguments with them. Do you know everything?"
"Yes." Guo Yufei and the other four replied in unison.
The five people continued to move forward, taking turns to chop and clear the way. As the sun set in the west, they climbed to the top of a mountain. Lan Fengyi looked around, and everything in her eyes was vines, thorns, shrubs, and lush green, but she could see the shadow of a demon somewhere.
?
Lan Fengyi sighed, shook her head and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to find it today. Let's go back. We've chopped down the vegetation along the way. We'll come back here tomorrow to look for it.
They were about to go back when they suddenly heard a whining sound. The five of them turned around and saw an extremely tall woman walking towards the top of the mountain.
The woman was over eight feet tall, with yellowish skin and hair as stiff as bristles hanging down to her hips. She only had breasts on her body, her crotch was covered in brown animal skin, and her feet were bare.
Looking closer, Lan Fengyi and others could see the vertical pupils in her yellow eyes!
Barbarian woman!
But this woman obviously had no ill intentions, her face was a little frightened, and she kept mumbling something in what she thought was a barbarian language.
Lan Fengyi gestured and said, "We are from the Great Hong Kingdom. We have no ill intentions here, we are just here to get rid of demons."
As she finished speaking, the barbarian woman said, "Ah, you are Bunun people." It was authentic Dahong Mandarin.
Lan Fengyi breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, we are Bunun people. Now the demons are rampant in Longyin Mountain. We are here to get rid of them."
The barbarian woman shook her head like a rattle: "No, no, the monster is very strong, and there are too few of you to defeat it."
Lan Fengyi sneered: "That's because you are not good at it. We have practiced martial arts since we were young, specializing in dealing with monsters."
The barbarian woman was stunned and said: "Really? Then I will take you to the monster's cave?"
When Lan Fengyi heard this, she was very excited. She stepped forward and said to the barbarian woman with a high face: "Okay, take us there quickly."
"Sister, it's getting dark, how about we come back tomorrow?" Aju asked tentatively.
"What are you afraid of when it's dark? Didn't you bring the radiant crystal stone with you?"
The Yao Jing Stone is a spiritual stone that is made from black spar produced in Dongzhou and transformed using a refining magic. During the day, it looks just like an ordinary pebble, but at night it emits a burning white light.
For lighting.
"Yes..." Aju didn't dare to argue anymore. The barbarian woman led Lan Fengyi and his party down the mountain and into the dense forest. She walked in the front, tearing at the vines and breaking branches with her strong hands.
Make a way for everyone.
After walking for a while, they came to an open area. The barbarian woman stopped and suddenly turned around and hid behind a big rock. She raised her finger and pointed in front of her and said, "It's right there! It's right there."
When everyone looked around, they could see a faint hole under a huge banana leaf in the distance.
Lan Fengyi took the lead and rushed forward. Guo Yufei and others hurriedly followed. When they got closer, Lan Fengyi raised her sword and cut off the banana leaves. She saw that the entrance of the cave was very narrow. It was easy for the three women to enter. Guo Yufei
It was even more difficult for Yue Mao, who was too fat, to squeeze in. She was so squeezed that her face turned red.
Fortunately, the entrance to the cave was narrow, but the inside was spacious. When they entered the cave, the light was extremely dim. Aju took out the Yao Jing Stone and hung it around their necks, and looked forward with the light of the Yao Jing Stone.
go.
Seeing that the cave is not very wide, within the light, you can see the left and right walls and the roof of the cave. The cave is about three feet wide, the roof is very high, at least five feet from the ground. It is dark in the distance, I don’t know how much.
deep.
The cave is filled with densely packed stone cones. Each of these stone cones is as tall as half a man, and their tips are like thorns. Not only do they protrude from the ground, but many of them protrude from the walls and ceiling of the cave as well.
The five people took small steps and struggled to walk between the stone pillars. After walking a few dozen feet, there were no stone cones on the ground. The top and sides of the cave were slightly sparse, but the tips of the cones pointed to the ground, which was still very scary.
Without the stone cone blocking the road, I can walk much faster, the deeper I go, the quieter I go.
Suddenly Guo Yufei faintly heard a "hissing" sound, and the other four people heard it too. Lan Fengyi stopped and whispered: "Be careful!"
"Huh? Who's in front?" A voice came out of the darkness in the cave, and at the same time there were footsteps.
The five of them looked forward and saw a snake and a fox walking into the light!
The snake's tail touched the bottom, and its body stood upright, more than a foot tall, and two arms grew out from both ends of the snake's head. The fox's fiery red fur also stood up like a human.
