Deep valleys, quiet woods, tall trees with spreading branches and leaves almost completely block the sky, making it dark even during the day.
The ground was covered with layers of dead branches and leaves. Because it had not been exposed to light all year round, it exuded an unpleasant smell of decay.
And in the surroundings, there are "rustling" sounds from time to time. When you hear the sound and look around, you can see a black, brown or other striped animal of other colors, raising its head and spitting out a scarlet letter, as if deliberately speaking.
provocative.
"There are more and more snakes." Yiyingwei said expressionlessly while chewing the bitter wild fruit.
The ten shadow guards formed a circle with their backs facing the outside, so that they could defend the backs of others.
Only Mo Jingxiao was sitting alone under a towering old tree, surrounded by densely packed poisonous snakes. In such a scene, he was eating wild fruits very calmly.
Next to him lay a tree trunk as thick as a person's arms. It had long been rotten and hollow, and was covered with green moss and some other plants.
He glanced casually, but his attention was suddenly attracted by a small purple flower growing on the tree trunk.
If you look carefully at the inconspicuous little flower, you will find that the tender petals are stretching hard in this dark forest, as if trying to absorb every drop of sunlight that can allow it to survive.
It really looks like her.
He stretched out his hand to pick up a poisonous snake that was hovering on the tree trunk. He picked off the flower, took out a handkerchief from his arms, wrapped it up, and put it in his arms.
Over there, Ling Yi threw the fruit core in his hand, hit it on the head of a poisonous snake, and asked Mo Jingxiao: "Master, what should we do now?"
Mo Jingxiao patted his robe, stood up, stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the knife."
When Ling Yiyi heard Mo Jingxiao asking for a knife, he knew that he was going to show off his power. He quickly took off the knife from his back and threw it to Mo Jingxiao: "Master, go on!"
Mo Jingxiao took the knife with one hand, turned around and asked the shadow guards: "Have you rested enough?"
All the shadow guards nodded in unison: "Enough rest!"
"When you've rested enough, keep walking."
Mo Jingxiao untied the cloth wrapping the knife, and a white sword light suddenly flashed.
Everyone's eyes were blurred, and they saw the sky full of blood and flesh. In one move, they killed countless creatures!
All roads are cut out in this way.
The shadow guards picked up their weapons and cleared away any remaining venomous snakes that might harm them, crushing them without any pressure.
After driving for more than half a day, everyone found a safer place to camp and get food.
In such a dangerous forest, basically you can't continue walking at dusk, otherwise your life will be risked.
As soon as Ran settled down, they went to get a pheasant and were roasting it, when they heard a noise from the woods.
Everyone immediately put the monkey under martial law, but when they took a closer look, they realized it was just a hairy monkey.
Ling Yi immediately laughed and said: "Haha, they say monkeys are smart, and it's true. Look, this pheasant has just roasted to get some flavor, and this little guy came running over."
A shadow guard next to him twitched his lips and said, "Aren't monkeys vegetarians?"
Zero One immediately glared at him: "The monk is also a vegetarian. Can you say that he is not a human being?"
The shadow guard was stunned for a moment - were they talking about the same thing?
Before the argument came to a conclusion, they saw that the monkey was not going in the direction of the roast chicken, but was heading straight towards Mo Jingxiao.
Mo Jingxiao was sitting aside and cleaning his knife. When he saw the monkey coming, he took the knife and said, "Do you like the taste of blood?"
The monkey scratched its ears and cheeks, and circled around the knife twice. The sharp-eyed shadow guard immediately discovered something: "Master, there is a note hidden on it!"
A note hidden on a monkey?
While everyone else was still in a daze, Mo Jingxiao had already grabbed the monkey and took out a piece of paper from it.
"It's from Zizhan." Mo Jingxiao said as soon as he opened it.
Ling Yi picked up the little monkey, touched it and said, "Is it possible that Mr. Murong asked this little monkey to come to us? But this little monkey has become a spirit. How does it know us?"
"You can tell a person by a knife." Youyingwei pointed at Mo Jingxiao's knife that the little monkey had been circling around just now.
"Then Mr. Murong could just tie a note on it so easily, and he wouldn't be afraid of being intercepted by others?"
"They can't understand." Mo Jingxiao said without raising his head.
Xiaozi Camp has an independent and complete secret language system, which Murong Xuan planned and compiled based on the secret languages commonly used in ancient tactics. Later, when he accidentally mentioned this topic when he was in Dingwang's Mansion, Ning Yujin proposed the numerical method and the alphabetic method.
Murong Xuan's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he immediately learned it and promoted it among the senior leaders of Xiaozi Camp.
Therefore, no one can understand the meaning of the note unless he is a close confidant. This is why Murong Xuan dared to let a monkey carry the note so arrogantly.
"Then what did Mr. Murong say?" the shadow guards asked quickly.
They had been walking in the woods for a long time. After coming out of the foggy valley, the compass no longer worked. They said someone had buried a magnet in the valley to guide them in the wrong direction, so they could not use it.
I don't know where to go, and I don't know where to go back.
Now this little monkey that suddenly appeared is their savior!
After Mo Jingxiao decrypted the coded letter, he said: "Zizhan asked us to follow this monkey, and it will take us to Lin Xi Country."
Zero One knocked the monkey on the head and asked it: "I asked you to lead the way, do you remember the way?"
The monkey seemed to understand, and stretched out its two furry long arms to fetch Ling Yi, making Ling Yi quickly throw it away.
The monkey landed lightly on a branch, swung the branches and leaves, and jumped onto another tree.
Mo Jingxiao picked up the knife and caught up quickly: "Follow me closely!"
The shadow guards didn't care about anything else and chased out quickly. Zero Yi looked at the half-roasted pheasant, grabbed it without hesitation and pulled off a chicken leg: "Hey, eat each one, don't lose your strength.
!”
As he spoke, he threw the roasted chicken forward.
The first one catches a piece of chicken and then throws it forward, and then one by one, they take over to ensure that everyone eats a little. After all, at this time, no one has much energy left.
When we arrived at Mo Jingxiao, there was a chicken leg, but he didn't eat it and threw it directly to the little monkey leading the way.
The little monkey held the chicken legs and ate them with both mouths, and then ran faster.
Fortunately, all the people who came in here were martial arts students. In terms of light kung fu, could they still lose to a little monkey? They all followed with all their strength, and the time in a while was actually longer than the journey of one or two days.
When someone started to run out of breath, Mo Jingxiao also slowed down. He listened for a long time, squinted and said, "There's someone nearby!"
