They headed deeper into the Southern Wilderness, led by Panhu, the most experienced "old hunter". There are many things in the world. You can often see them accidentally if you don't look for them, but it is difficult to find them if you look for them deliberately.
For example, wild boars in the mountains and forests.
There was no harvest on the second day, so I chose a place to camp in the evening and continued to eat the horned elk meat left yesterday. The monks in the fourth realm can start to try to inediate, but at this time, inediate is just a way of cultivation. After breaking through to the seventh realm in cultivation,
Before, it was impossible for anyone to truly live without food, not even a tiger baby.
The spirit of Huwa is fused with the magical effect of the immortality medicine he has taken since childhood, which can be slowly refined and absorbed. He can practice fasting without eating for several years, but it cannot be like this forever. As for Han Xiong, who has just broken through the four realms, and
Dajun, Xiaojun and Panhu, who have not yet broken through the four realms, of course have to eat.
Walking on the high mountain snowfield and constantly searching for it was very exhausting. They were all cultivating the power of opening mountains, and their food intake was quite astonishing. The meat of that horned elk was probably only enough to last for a few days. Xiaojun looked very good along the way.
He was very calm. He followed Huwa and carefully observed the surrounding scenery. It was also his first time entering the Southern Wilderness. When he rested every day, he still did not forget the energy in his meditation and movement.
At dawn on the third day, Panhu had already gone to explore the surrounding situation, and everyone got up and stretched their muscles to dispel the cold air around them. However, Xiaojun kept sitting on the spread out wild rice skin,
He didn't move or react, as if he was completely unaware of what was happening around him. Huwa made a gesture of silence, and everyone stayed quietly not far away, waiting.
Hanxiong asked quietly with his eyes, and Huwa nodded slightly to confirm. Xiaojun was in a state of deep silence at the moment, completely forgetting where he was. Huwa had witnessed Hanxiong break through the four realms,
He could also detect the characteristics of Xiaojun's expression at this moment. He knew what Xiaojun was going through, but he didn't expect it to be here and now.
Huwa had experienced that state of deep silence many times in the Taihao ruins, and had repeatedly refined his mind. Judging from Xiaojun's appearance, it probably wasn't the first time for him. He might have reached this point a long time ago.
But he has been unable to investigate for a long time. During this period, as Huwa said, Xiaojun temporarily let go of many things, so he worked as a handyman disciple in the mountains and practiced martial arts diligently every day.
Last night, he may have accidentally entered this deep and silent state of concentration after practicing Wu Ding Gong, adjusting his breath and concentrating his energy. Panhu ran back, and did not make a sound when he saw this scene.
He ran to the distant mountains and forests. When the sun had risen very high, Xiaojun finally opened his eyes while sitting still, with an expression as if he had suddenly experienced a big dream.
Huwa first walked over and congratulated: "Senior brother Xiaojun, you finally succeeded in breaking through the four realms."
Hanxiong and Dajun heard this and hurriedly came forward to congratulate them. This was really an unexpected gain. Xiaojun has been practicing martial arts during this period and has not yet reached the level of skill that can cut through the magic circle in the clouds. Today, his cultivation is
Naturally, he broke through the four realms. He saluted Huwa with emotion and said: "Junior Brother Xiaolu, thank you for your guidance! The state of mind you asked me to search for also has a kind of cultivation. I have taken this step."
Hanxiong patted him on the shoulder and said, "Great! Then practice Wu Ding Gong well, and when spring comes, we will climb the main peak together."
Xiaojun looked at the surrounding mountains and fields and said: "Although I have been given guidance on the path, the state of mind I am looking for has never been completely pure. But walking down Wufu Hill into the deserted mountains and fields, it feels like the invisible shackles have been released.
.First of all, I didn’t climb the main peak. I broke through the four realms. This is an opportunity!”
Just at this time, the sound of Panhu's barking suddenly came from the distant mountain forest, which must have been an important discovery. Everyone ran over quickly.
Panhu found no trace of the wild boar. He found a few lines of shoe prints on the snow in the dense forest. They were shoe prints, not footprints. Judging from the lines left in the snow, they were still the kind of leather soles that were processed very finely, not footprints.
What was left by the demon tribesmen in the wilderness - someone from outside the mountain passed here a few days ago.
Huwa's expression changed immediately when he saw these shoe prints, and he said to everyone: "Don't go looking for the wild boar yet, we have to catch up with these people quickly and see what they want to do?... Hanxiong, we have seen these people, that's it.
A group of monks from the Mountain of Beasts in the Silk Country!"
Looking carefully at the footprints, there were six people in total. Next to the human footprints was the footprints of an animal. Judging from the footprints, they should be that of a large leopard. Huwa also found a black one on the bark of a tree.
The animal hair belonged to the black panther he had seen before. And Panhu's barking also told him that the people who had walked here were the same group of monks from Beast Mountain who had rounded up the snake girl Qiluo.
The black panther and its owner were injured by Huwa, and the other five monks from Beast Mountain were also more or less injured at that time. Later, when Huwa climbed onto Wufu Hill, he did not see that
Brother Brother, I guess they are either recuperating from their injuries, or they have left Hongjincheng, and they probably don't have the guts to show up near Wufu Hill again.
After Huwa went to Wufu Hill, he did not mention the snake girl Qiluo again. However, Hanxiong told the brothers in the same room what happened before going up the mountain, and everyone heard about it. Dajun also reported it to his elders.
——There are monks from the Beast Mountain who are plotting evil outside Hongjin City, trying to use cunning tactics to defeat a snake girl.
As for how the elders of Wufu Qiu dealt with it, the result is unknown. They may have sent a message to warn the beasts, but those people failed to succeed at that time, and the consequences were not irreversible. I am afraid there is no need to go all the way to raise troops to punish the perpetrators.
But I didn't expect that this group of people hadn't left yet. After such a long time, their injuries should have healed, but at this moment, their footprints appeared in the depths of the Southern Wilderness. Could it be that they were still evil and wanted to take advantage of Snake Girl?
?The snake girl village where Qi Luo is located is very remote and hidden, and is not easy to find, but Huwa still feels a little uneasy.
After everyone learned about the situation, they no longer bothered to look for the wild boar, and followed the tracks left by the monks on the Beast Mountain. Those people had been walking there for several days. Fortunately, it had not snowed in the mountains these days.
Many traces left in the ground were still there, and they chased them in the mountains and fields for two days.
Dajun said on the road: "Junior brother Xiaolu, why did I forget that you knew the demon girl before? You rescued the demon girl who knew how to practice before going up the mountain. I heard that we have a very good relationship. She must have told you to go to Snake
The secret path to the female village. This is a good opportunity to go down the mountain. The second elder is simply rewarding you by letting you take the opportunity to find the snake girl...Brother, I envy you so much!"
Xiaojun also said: "If we really can't find wild boars, we can try to find a village of the Snake Tribe. As far as I know, some demon tribe villages also raise pigs. It would be great if the Snake Tribe also raises pigs...
We don’t want other people’s things in vain, we can hunt other prey in exchange. They are not second elders, so they don’t necessarily require living animals bigger than fat pigs.”
Huwa smiled bitterly and said: "The Qiluo girl did tell them the general location of the village. It is said that there are secret paths in the mountains. However, the terrain in the wilderness is too complex and cannot be explained clearly in a few words. Besides, in this kind of snowy weather,
I can’t see the road at all! Even if I wanted to look for it, I might not be able to find it in a short time.
Besides, the snake pattern tribe does not welcome men into the village. Even when the snake girl meets her man, she always goes outside the village alone. What if we, the grown men of the alien race, break in?
What's going on?...I'm just a little worried about that group of monks from Beast Mountain, and I want to see where they have gone and what they are doing?"
During the tracking process, Huwa discovered that the group did not have any clear goal. They seemed to be looking for something in the depths of the wilderness, and they also took some elixirs and specialties along the way. But as they went around in this way, they gradually got closer.
Here is the general direction of the village where Qi Luo is located.
Dajun added: "Those people came earlier than us. If we can't catch up tomorrow, we will go directly to Snake Girl's village... Junior Brother Xiaolu, since you know the general direction, we should be able to find them." He
The issue of concern now is no longer the big fat pig. I just want to persuade the tiger baby to go to the snake girl's village.
Panhu whined twice and shook his head. Huwa leaned down and looked at the tracks and said: "It's very close. These marks seem to have been left yesterday. They can't know that there is someone following behind. They won't."
They are walking too fast. According to normal circumstances, we should catch up tomorrow... If we still can't catch up tomorrow, we will first go to the village where Miss Qiluo is."
That day, they followed the footsteps until dark, found a temporary camp for the night, and continued to set off at dawn. When they climbed a high slope, Panhu suddenly stopped and pricked up his ears. At the same time,
Everyone also heard a clicking sound coming from the forest ahead. It looked like someone was chopping firewood. Looking closer, it turned out that someone was really chopping wood, and he was chopping a very special kind of tree branch!
…
There is a wood-cutting peak in Wufu Hill. There is a strange tree on the wood-cutting peak called the cold fire pine. Its wood is hard and dense and grows very slowly. However, the cold fire pine in the primitive jungle that is hundreds of years old is also very tall.
The Hanhuo pine, which has been growing for nearly a thousand years, sometimes has a very special branch at the height of the tree. The surface is red and very smooth. In the winter after the needles have fallen out, it looks like a branched branch.
Red coral.
Huwa had never seen what red coral looked like, but had only heard people describe it like this, and the mountain god had introduced it to him with his spiritual thoughts. It is said that there is a precious red coral in the palace of the King of Ba, who was the founding king of the country.
Brought by the Salt Omen.
This special branch may be a natural variation of the cold fire pine, which is rarely seen. It is also something that Wufuqiu disciples look for in the mountains every year. Its texture is extremely dense and tough, and it is difficult to use ordinary knives and axes.
If you chop it and drop it into the water, it will sink to the bottom like a stone. (To be continued...)
