This place is both a paradise and a hell for adventurers. It is rich in resources, but it is also full of dangers. Countless adventurers who poured into the Forest of Scourge stayed in the Sunset Mountains forever, or were buried in the belly of monsters, lost souls in dangerous places, or died in the same way.
Tens of thousands of people are lost in the Sunset Mountains every year at the hands of human adventurers. Even so, countless people still come to explore one after another every year.
There are countless towns on the edge of the Heavenly Scourge Mountains. The most important and prosperous one is Rising Sun City. It belongs to the Holy Orchid Empire and is an important backup place for adventurers from all over the Eastern Continent who enter the Heavenly Scourge. Its tall and solid city walls will protect all the people.
All dangers, including those from the monsters in the Scourge Mountains, were blocked outside the city, protecting the safety of the city.
The Scourge Mountain Range in autumn is not a good time for adventurers to go hunting. In previous years, Rising Sun City would be relatively depressed during this season, but this year is an exception. There is an endless stream of people in Rising Sun City.
"Zuigui" Tavern is the largest and most luxurious tavern in Xuri City. It is one of the properties of the Dongfang Family, one of the five aristocratic families.
In the afternoon, the transparent crystal door of the tavern creaked, and a beautiful woman in a yellow dress walked in, holding a little boy with pink makeup in one hand, followed closely by eight guards.
.
Those who came in were Duanmu Qing and his party who had just arrived in Rising Sun City.
The people who came to Rising Sun City had all seen the world and thought that this was a member of a certain family who was out for training. After looking at it for a few more times, they went about their own business, which was exactly what Duanmu Qing and others wanted.
Xiangsi's eyes sparkled as soon as she followed Duanmu Qing into the door. To be honest, she was full of curiosity about every pub, especially interested in various drinks. Unfortunately, she was watched closely and could not taste them one by one, which made her feel a little regretful.
Got it.
It was almost evening, there were many people in the tavern and it was already full.
Duanmuqing walked to the stage, picked up Xiangsi and sat on the chair in front of the stage, lowered her head and asked, "What do you want to drink today?"
"Red orange juice."
Red oranges are very common here. Just like citrus in the 21st century, they are red all over and are easy to store, so they are sold in pubs. This kind of fresh fruit has a unique flavor when squeezed into juice. It also has the effect of reducing fire and relieving fatigue. It is very suitable for people like them.
It is also consumed by people who travel long distances.
Duanmu Qing received the answer and gave the waiter an elegant smile: "Sir, please have a glass of red orange juice each first, and then book nine upper rooms." He handed over a gold library card, "The fee will be deducted from it!
"
"Wait a moment, we'll prepare it for you right away!" The waiter paused for a second to look at the card and immediately started processing it. He was a little curious about the cardholder. After all, the number of golden KUKA is limited.
Anyone holding a gold card is quite prestigious.
Xiangsi's eyes flashed slightly when she saw Duanmuqing hand over the card. At this time, the waiter brought the juice, and she took a thin glass of drink, calmly and calmly.
Her move made Duanmuchi, who was sitting opposite her, startled: the young master's state of mind was no worse than that of the other young masters in my family!
Duanmu Qing glanced at the tavern casually and asked the waiter in a normal way: "There seem to be more people in the tavern today than usual."
The waiter smiled and asked her: "You just arrived today, right? Don't you know what's going on in the Forest of Scourge?"
"Yes, I'm passing by and have a rest. I haven't heard anything about the Forest of Scourge."
"Then you are here by chance. There has been a tide of beasts in the Forest of Scourge since a few months ago, in the Sky Sword Valley area."
"Oh, if there is such a thing, you have to watch the excitement."
At this time, the check-in to the room had been completed, and Duanmuqing took the room card and went up to the second floor with Xiangsi in her arms.
The night was very quiet.
But Xiangsi didn't sleep well, and she always felt like someone was whispering in her ear.
The rising sun rises in the east, and the slightly warm autumn sun shines on the earth again.
Duanmu Qing, who had rested for the night, left the tavern with lovesickness in her arms and embarked on the road to a true journey of divine punishment.
"Qian Xue'er, that's part of the Heavenly Scourge Mountain Range!" Duanmu Qing, who stepped out of the city, pointed to the mountain peak with only a vague outline to the little nephew in her arms: "There, the lives of countless passionate lovers are buried; there, there are achievements.
It has inspired countless people’s heroic dreams!”
"Third Aunt, I believe that those who stay there will have no regrets! Those who leave there will have no regrets!" Xiangsi looked calmly at the outline of the distant Tianshu Mountains. The road was chosen by oneself, and there will be no regrets if you choose it.
regret!
"Xiao Qianxue, if Third Aunt doesn't know your age, she won't believe that you are only seven years old." Even she would be surprised by what her nephew occasionally said.
"Mind has nothing to do with age!" Xiangsi declared in her heart: I am more than seven years old!
"Let's discuss this issue when we come back, and let's set off!" Duanmu Qing was basking in the sunshine and flew towards the Heavenly Punishment Mountain in the distance.
Duanmu Qing, who was flying forward at this moment, did not expect what kind of surprises her family would bring to her family and what kind of shock she would bring to the mainland!
Xiangsi, who was being held in Duanmuqing's arms at this moment, did not expect that this journey of divine punishment would be the crucial first step for her to reach the peak of the strong in the future, thereby creating her own immortal legend in the other world.
.
This journey of divine punishment is destined to be remembered in people's hearts and forever etched in the history of the mainland.
The forests in the Tianshu Mountains are lush, and densely packed towering trees cover the mountains. Many narrow valleys do not see sunlight all year round. Various micro and small types of plants grow in the forest. There is no waste of space. The forest is filled with layers of mist, which adds to the added beauty.
A bit mysterious.
Walking all the way from the outermost forest of the Tianshu Mountain Range, there are many tents set up in the forest on the road. They are the camps of many group of adventurers and some family members. As they approach the edge of the middle wall, the tents become much smaller.
Duanmuqing held Xiangsi in her arms, carefully avoiding the adventurers on the way, and headed inward.
The Heavenly Sword Valley is one of the countless mountains in the Heavenly Scourge Mountain Range. The main peak towers into the clouds like a sword and is surrounded by countless peaks.
On the fifth day, I finally saw the peaks around Tianjian Valley from a distance.
Also in the evening of that day, ten people set up camp in a valley.
The valley is quiet and safe. I haven't seen a single monster in the two days I've been here, except for the occasional roar of monsters that can be heard from far away in the mountains.
Duanmuqing led people around to search for places where monsters were gathered, and was busy collecting some. Xiangsi was busy collecting medicine, and gradually expanded the area around the camp.
Xiangsi was very happy to collect medicinal herbs for the first time. As long as she collected all the medicinal materials she knew, her stomach was rarely harvested. The only thing that made her uneasy was that she always felt as if she was "returning drunk".
Someone called in my ear.
Another dark night came, and the sky and the earth were so hazy that it was difficult to tell where the sky was and where the earth was.
At midnight.
"Ouch—" A beast roar shook the sky, startling countless birds and beasts in the forest.
"Ouch..." Countless monsters roared together, shaking the earth in shock!
Duanmu Qing opened her eyes, and like a cloud crane, she flew out of the camp tent, stepped straight into the night sky, looked around, listened carefully, and then landed in front of the camp, her face solemn.
"Miss-"
The eight guards looked at her.
"Tide of beasts, we are surrounded!"
Duanmuqing's words sounded like thunder in the ears of ten people.
"Tide of beasts? Surrounded?"
Everyone looked in disbelief that they had not sensed anything before.
For two days, there was not even a trace of a monster around, and now it was surrounded. The contrast was so great!
This is what is called unexpected events!
Moreover, it happened in the middle of the night!
"Get ready to break out!" Duanmu Qing said and turned back to the camp.
Duanmuchi stood in front of the camp, fully alert!
"Shasha...", "Wuwu..."
The roar of the monsters, the footsteps of the monsters walking, the sound of the wind passing through the trees, and all kinds of sounds came from all directions, making people's hair stand on end.
Soon, the valley was filled with green, lantern-like eyes of monsters that flickered! The howling of the wind even sounded in the sky!
The green light was getting closer and closer, and in the blink of an eye it was already in front of my eyes.
"My mother!" Everyone gasped!
The ones coming from the left and right were actually the Shadow Rat, which was known for its speed among rats, and had special stealth skills, and the monkey-like Warcraft, which was famous for its agility in the forest. The ones coming from the front and back were the Jungle Wind Wolf, which also had an advantage in speed.
, the overlord of forest power—brown bear; in the sky are dense golden eagles, gray eagles, and Gu crows!
Besieged on all sides!
For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded!
Who will tell them where these suddenly appearing monsters come from?
Xiangsi was also awakened, feeling panicked and restless in her heart. She sat on the floor in the tent, frowned, put on her coats and robes one by one, put on her cloak, and wrapped her body tightly.
"Qian Xue'er, are you awake?" Duan Muqing came in and saw Xiangsi dressed.
"Third aunt, what happened?" How could her third aunt frown so hard that she could kill a few flies?
"Tide of beasts, we are surrounded. Are you afraid?" Duanmu Qing picked her up and walked out.
"Not afraid," Xiangsi shook her head. It wasn't that she was bold, but that she had never seen an ownerless monster in this world before, so she didn't know how dangerous it was.
"You are very much like your mother," Duanmu Qing glanced at Xiangsi carefully and smiled lightly: "Back then, when my sister was still young, she encountered danger once. I hugged her and asked her the same answer to me,
Duanmu Qing's voice contained nostalgia for the past, "It's just that today is many times more dangerous than then."
"Because I am my mother's child," Xiangsi smiled slightly. Although she was not Sima Xiangsi, her body belonged to her. "Third Aunt, if it is really dangerous, please let me go."
"What nonsense are you kidding? Mother is here, you are here!" Duanmuqing touched Xiangsi's head and put her on the back of the summoned spotted leopard, "Hold on to the golden hair.
Don’t let go.” At the same time, the message was transmitted to Golden Leopard: “Help me protect the person on my back!”
"Understood, Master!" Golden Leopard replied firmly.
The group of monsters outside was less than ten feet away from them. Duanmu Qing looked up at the group of birds above her head, stamped her feet, and jumped into the air: "Come up all of them!"
The densely packed magical beasts on the ground far outnumber the herds in the air. It is more likely to deal with a group than to attack all directions.
Upon hearing the order, the eight guards all jumped into the air and worked together to hold up the protective energy shield.
As soon as we stepped into the air, the flying beasts in the sky were already roaring towards us. The two sides started to collide hard. After countless muffled "bang bang bang" sounds, both humans and beasts fell in and scattered.
.
Others are fine, but Xiangsi is not!
She is dizzy and even more afraid of heights!
Duanmuqing made a small mistake: she ignored the situation of lovesickness!
She is only a seven-year-old child, and the more serious fact is that she is still a child who cannot practice cultivation!
Acacia was riding on the back of a spotted leopard. The moment she flew into the air, the feeling of soaring through the clouds made her internal organs and lungs begin to churn. She endured the sour smell and clung to the golden hair with difficulty.
As soon as she reached the air, Jin Zi collided with the monster. She was not injured by the monster, but the strong collision shocked her head with a "buzzing" sound, her whole body was numb, she loosened her hands, and her body was hardened by inertial force.
The spotted leopard was shaken away and fell into the night sky in a parabola. In an instant, it was submerged in the bird monster.
Xiangsi fell into the air alone. After her waist was tightly clamped by something, the stronger dizziness made her have a severe fear of heights. She had never fainted in her previous life for thirty-one years. She was in the high altitude of another world.
, it was incredible that I fainted for the first time!
