Chapter 214 Shennongding
The urban area of Shennongjia is quite far away. After leaving Anjie, it will take a day to walk at a normal walking speed.
No matter how much Zhu Biao urged Director Lin to speed up, he would not do it anyway. Because he was the only tour guide and had a stubborn temper, everyone could only follow him.
After leaving Anjie, they met fewer people, and there were traces of various monsters along the way. Although they were not afraid of some small monsters, it was better to be careful in the wild.
As night falls, the hot and dry air becomes moist. The surroundings are pitch black, and there are unknown monsters howling in the distance, which makes people feel chilly.
Only a bonfire brought bright, orange firelight to dispel the unknown terror in the darkness.
"The mountain people are not easy to mess with. About twenty years ago, the mountain people in Shennongjia went crazy and came out in droves. The terrifying mountain people all over the mountains and plains were terrifying to look at..."
Director Lin took a sip of strong wine to warm up his body. But as he recalled the war more than forty years ago, the strong drink could not dispel the chill that passed through his limbs and bones.
"The mountain men are extremely cruel. These damn guys don't kill their prey directly like other demons. They are more like a demon, emptying out the internal organs of their prey while they are still alive..."
"The battle at that time was extremely brutal. You could see broken arms and legs almost every few steps, as well as smashed internal organs. The ground was dyed red with blood..."
"In the end, it was the military that mobilized and joined forces with the Magic Association to calm down this disaster and bring peace to us all these years."
Director Lin sighed. He was still young at the time and had not personally experienced the war, but those who came back from the battlefield described it as frightening.
"You young people from out of town are so unafraid of death that ordinary people can't hide in the mountains before it's too late!"
The people in Sao Feng's team suddenly fell into silence. The firelight reflected on Director Lin's wrinkled face, showing the kindness of an old man in his old age.
Director Lin was only over fifty years old, but his memories full of hardships and ups and downs made everyone unconscious in that miserable battle with the mountain people.
Blood stained the ground, perhaps more of them were human corpses...
"Uncle, what about Shennongding? Is that the base camp of the mountain people?" Lingling asked curiously.
Director Lin was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lingling. The firelight reflected on her little face, making her blushing face even more cute: "You little girl, you still don't give up."
Lingling stuck out her tongue playfully.
Director Lin was silent for a moment, but he was not as angry as last time. Instead, he slowly said: "Shennongding is indeed the nest of the mountain people, but there is actually a legend passed down by word of mouth that Shennongding is actually the nest of all mountain people.
The place of origin!”
"???!"
Lingling's eyes lit up, and Luo Chen and Shajia couldn't help but turn their attention to Director Lin.
"According to legend, the Shennong family set up a tree in Shennongjia to collect herbs to treat people's illnesses. If there were mountain people at that time, this legend would not have existed."
"The place where Shennong ascended was Shennongding. He built a wooden altar and ascended to the sky across a crane. It was only after that that the legend of the Mountain Man gradually emerged."
Lingling's little face was full of horror: "Then you mean that our ancestor Shennong is the ancestor of Shanren?!"
Director Lin immediately glared at Lingling: "I never said such blasphemy to my ancestors!"
"The Shennong clan has made great contributions to our fight against the mountain people! Perhaps it was because he discovered signs of demons like mountain people appearing on Shennong Peak that he chose to change the place of ascension to Shennong Summit."
"It's just a pity that after the Shennong family, there was no successor, so Shanren developed step by step and occupied the entire Shennongding and even the entire Shennongjia. Now, Shanren has begun to move beyond Shennongjia."
Lingling's big eyes were bright. Only the locals knew these legends, so her thirst for knowledge became even more intense: "Uncle, why were you so shy about our search for Shennongding?"
"That's because Shennong is the source of disaster!!" Director Lin suddenly became excited.
"Director Lin, please slow down." Xiao Lian on the side quickly advised.
Director Lin took a sip of wine to calm down his shock before explaining: "It is said that Shennongding retains the magic weapon used by the Shennong clan to suppress the mountain people. Because of this legend, many military mages and hunting mages went to Shennongjia to look for Shennongding."
"Then have you found it?" Taro couldn't help but interjected.
Everyone was attracted by the secrets told by Director Lin.
"Found it, more than 40 years ago!" Director Lin suddenly looked frightened.
“More than forty years ago?!!”
Lingling thought of what she said before: "Isn't that related to the mountain invasion?"
"Okay, let's not talk anymore. It's getting late, so you should have a good rest. You can enter Shennongjia tomorrow. It's even more dangerous there!"
But when it came to the most shocking part, Director Lin stopped talking, which made everyone unable to let go of it for a while.
"Everyone, please rest. Just listen to these as stories. Don't take it too seriously. On May 6th, you and Taro will stay together for half the night, and I will stay for the rest of the night."
Boss Ye patted the dust on his pants, then got into his tent and went to sleep.
Lingling and Luo Chen winked, and then turned into their pink tent with Sakya.
Luo Chen thought for a while, then followed in.
"Tsk, tsk, what a blessing. I have two beauties to accompany me one night. The little girl is so cute, and the other foreign beauty is so beautiful. Even if I have to take a few sips of fragrant body fragrance and lose a few years from my life!"
Wuliu watched Luo Chen get into the pink tent, feeling envious and jealous.
"Be careful. If your words harm the entire team, Boss Ye won't let him go!" Taro warned.
Although he also envied Luo Chen and his group, the men were handsome and the women were pretty, but their status was clearly there!
Walking into the tent, there were two scents mixed in the small space. Except for Qin Yuer's, Luo Chen couldn't distinguish the scents of others.
Lingling and Shajia had been waiting for Luo Chen for a long time. Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, even the moment Luo Chen came in, they felt that the two of them were waiting for his wife and daughter.
"Luo Chen, what do you think?" Lingling asked impatiently.
"The Shennong clan may be related to the mountain people, but those are all legends. In fact, I am more curious about what is on the top of Shennong?"
"I checked on the hunting website. There is some news about seeing Shennongding, but what they saw is dozens of miles apart, so the credibility is not very high." Lingling fiddled with her small computer and said.
"Maybe Shennongding is mobile." Luo Chen thought of Sha Yuan.
"Moving?" Shajia looked confused: "Shennongding should be a mountain, right?"
"Yes, it should be more than three thousand meters. It has the title of the highest peak in Central China. If it can move, you can imagine the scene of Mount Fuji moving in the island country, how shocking it would be!!"
