Eighty-two. Broken Axe
Piao Tianwen 82. Broken Axe (Fifth update)
------------
? "Which places are in this northern part?"
Chen Hao's heart burst. The tentacles of the Shadow Pavilion were spread all over Qingzhou. If the head coach was in the chaotic south now, it would be a bad idea. Even the Yuanshen Realm was defeated in the wave of monsters. With his current strength, he wanted to kill back like a fire.
"Everything is in the north..." The man in black looked at the long sword that was pressing against his neck in panic, and his eyes were spinning around desperately. Fortunately, his words were not incoherent, otherwise the person in front of him would not mind using this sword to pierce a transparent hole on his body and let blood. He had no doubt about this point.
"Cold"! Chen Hao withdrew the long sword, which made the man in black who had escaped for a while gasp for a few breaths. The latter coughed violently several times, and tears flowed in a while.
His face slowly raised his head and his face changed, but this time he did not dare to neglect. His experience just now was like walking around the gates of hell. He didn't want to make the same mistake a second time.
The man in black reached into his arms and took out half of the mottled and old sheepskin, and explained hurriedly: "This is a map. Anyone who draws a red circle is the response point after I complete the task. I can receive the reward from them. I think the people there should know more than I do, and maybe there will be a specific whereabouts of the headquarter!"
Chen Hao took it and stretched out his hand and spread it out. Looking at the crooked lines exposed, he couldn't help but frown. He recalled the second brother of the Li family who was also painting on sheepskin, and he was able to distinguish the painter on this sheepskin. Thanks to his accustomed to using the Delusion-Breaking Eyes to see the black and white line world, otherwise he would not be able to tell some areas in a hurry.
"Broken Axe Mountain", "Qingxin Cliff", "Reincarnation Valley", "Tieling Peak", and "Shixian Cave".
"Are these five places?" Chen Hao said softly. He had never heard of the place names in the red circle, but as long as he had a name, it was easy to deal with. He could also find the target by following the map.
The man in black glanced at the map again, then nodded to confirm.
"If I hadn't discovered you before, which of these five places would you go?" Chen Hao put away the map and asked in a deep thought.
"This is close to Broken Axe Mountain, of course I went here." The man in black gave the answer without thinking.
"Okay, let's go to this Broken Axe Mountain."
"We?" The man in black suddenly realized something, and his face suddenly changed.
When he saw the person in front of him shaking the bronze token, his bones began to make crackling sounds. After a moment, he had completely turned into another appearance, tall, with a long hair and a young face. If he was accompanied by a flowing whisk, he would be a Youdao Quanzhen who walked down from the beautiful waters of the fairy mountains.
Of course, the man in black didn't recognize this face. If there were disciples from the Supreme Sect here, he would definitely be able to see at a glance that this was their long-lost elder named Hua. With the token in his hand, he was determined to pretend to be a shadow killer in the shadow pavilion.
Although he felt excited and shocked when he thought about it, the man in black also felt a little worried. He was afraid that the other party's skills would not be exposed, and he would also be chased endlessly.
He opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. The other party saw that he was full of confidence. He would only turn back if he hit a nail and suffers a loss.
"Let's go!"
The man in black sighed, his figure flashed and turned into a shadow again and wandered quickly on the ground. He was not afraid of the other party losing it. He had been found by the Qingshan Guest before. Obviously, the other party had amazing attainments in the pupil technique. You should know that although the Shadow Pavilion's escape technique is not top-notch, it is also very good in the cultivation world. Otherwise, how could it be called "coming without a trace, walking between shadows and reaping batches of lives instead of the God of Death.
...
In the cold winter, although there is no cloud today, and the sun is hanging high in the air and releasing endless light and heat, there is still thick snow between the mountains and the mountains that have not yet melted, and some sunny places have revealed a trace of mottled brown soil, mixed with snow and water, and it becomes very muddy. Even if you lead a "dark cloud on the snow", it probably won't be able to do very quickly.
But although Chen Hao and the others did not have a horse, each of them had clever means. The small terrain obstacles could not stop the pace of the two, and the speed was still rapid.
Stepping on the sword lotus, the more you go, the more steep the terrain becomes. The peaks rise up from the ground, and the posture is even more strange. The peaks are covered with snow, as if you are wearing a white hat.
He secretly calculated the direction in his heart and found that the direction they were walking was northwest, desolate and barren, and it was in the middle of winter. Even the birds and beasts could only find traces from time to time, let alone people. Unless they were skilled and brave, who would dare to live among these poor mountains and rivers?
The black shadow on the ground slowly stopped and his body rose up like a pearl that came out of water. Chen Hao was shocked and looked forward. He saw a towering giant peak in the sky climbing up to the sky.
Clouds and mists are shrouded in the peak, and the body of the peak is like a piece of axe that can be seen by light. Unfortunately, there is a piece missing on the top of the peak, which is probably the origin of this peak.
As he slowly fell from the sword lotus, Chen Hao looked at the man in black with a puzzled look and asked, "Where is the response point?"
"You have to go into the mountain! Be careful not to fly in. There are hundreds of ferocious birds in this Half Axe Peak. If you are besieged by these birds and beasts, you may even die in an instant." The man in black reminded him hurriedly, he was also afraid that Chen Hao would have a conflict with others, and would drag him to a dire strait.
"Don't worry, you have to do the full set of acting. I won't be so quick to show off my feet." Chen Hao nodded and walked with the man in black.
As the saying goes, "Looking at the mountain and running to death," Chen Hao and the others chose to hike for caution, but they misjudged the situation. Even though they had good feet, they would arrive at their destination for a few quarters of an hour.
A huge stone cliff suddenly came into view. The cliff was hundreds of feet high, and thick green ivy hung down from the top of the cliff.
"Climb the ladder!"
The man in black pointed to the green vines swaying in the wind and said, "My Shadow Pavilion is strict. Only those who can reach the top of the cliff can join."
After saying that, he walked to the edge of the cliff and took a deep breath, grabbed the thick vine branches and pushed up. His skillful skills seemed to have been practiced countless times, but in just a moment he had arrived halfway up the mountain.
Chen Hao was not willing to be outdone. He also chose a long vine to tie it around his waist, with his hands crooked like claws, and deeply embedded it into the cliff.
When they were about to reach the top, several birds cries suddenly sounded in the sky. Chen Hao looked up and saw a large area flying over the sky. The birds were all red and looked very dazzling.
