"Bah, bah, bah... it's so bitter." Guan Heng complained while wiping his mouth: "Ordinary mountain spring water should be sweet, why is the water here so bitter and hard to swallow?"
"That's because this place is relatively close to the copper mine in Songguo Mountain. The place where we live has been mining copper mines for many years. It seems that it is because of this that the water source contains a bitter taste, but the 'bitter spring' here
It’s more serious.”
Xu Bai explained from the side: "Of course, drinking this kind of water often will have a great impact on people's physique, but fortunately, we asked people from the Wu tribe for help a long time ago, and they sent some plants that can purify the bitterness of the water.
, planted it on Pine Cone Mountain, and everyone lived peacefully for hundreds of years."
Hearing what he said, Tian Lin, who was holding a horse to drink water next to her, casually asked: "Brother Xu, do your Weishui tribe have a good relationship with the people of the Wu tribe?"
"Hehehe, it can be said that our relationship is the best among the six major tribes in the north of Chongguo."
Xu Bai explained at this time: "The Wu Clan is good at studying the imperial ghosts and the mysteries of various 'strange corpses'. In addition, they are proficient in medical skills and identify various medicinal herbs and plants. People think that the Wu Clan is mysterious and dare not get close to it easily, and
We, the people of the Weishui tribe, cannot live without them, but we people from the Weishui tribe don't care at all, so the two tribes are very good friends."
"As for the reasons, there are many aspects." Bi Beiqi said to everyone: "When the two clans were established hundreds of years ago, the first generation clan leaders were very good friends, and Songguo Mountain has always provided the Wu clan with
A large number of weapons and equipment, but only the profit of the cost is charged, etc."
"Furthermore, the Wu tribe also sends people every year to send a large amount of herbal medicines to treat fire cocoons and dry heat. These are necessities for us people in the Weishui tribe."
Xu Bai sighed and said: "The casters in our tribe often hang around the stove. After those sparks splash on the body, a large number of scalded pustules will be produced, which is commonly known as 'fire cocoon'. If this kind of thing appears too much on the body,
Too much will cause symptoms of dryness and heat, rotten lungs and vomiting blood, which can easily lead to death, so thanks to the medicinal materials provided by the witch tribe."
"So that's it, the symbiotic and co-prosperous relationship between the two races is handled very well." Guan Heng thought to himself at this time: "As a friend, only the maintenance of friendship is not enough, there are still mutually related interests, so that everyone can be together
Come closer."
At this time, Ruotao and Agou came over from a distance. She raised her voice and said, "We just saw several groups of people behind us. They all seemed to be rushing to the vicinity of Songguo Mountain. It seems that they are with Mou Du."
Tribes matter too.”
Hearing this, Bi Beiqi and Xu Bai's expressions suddenly darkened: "Humph, these guys really started to take action."
"Xu Bai, how far is it from Songguo Mountain?" Hearing Guan Heng's question, Xu Bai immediately said: "It should be dozens of miles away along the road, but..."
Having said this, Xu Bai hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "Xiao Bei and I both know that there is a hidden shortcut path leading to the side of Songuo Mountain. Although it can shorten the distance by nearly half, you have to go through a very long way to get there.
The powerful half-black demonic beast has its nest, I'm afraid it will be too risky."
"You really know the shortcut before telling him." Guan Heng patted him on the shoulder and then said: "Let's do this, you and I, ride on the Ghost Swallowing Tiger, go straight to Songguo Mountain along the path, and the rest of the people
Let Brother Bi lead us and continue on the main road."
"What? You want to leave us and go alone again?" Agou rolled his eyes at this time, and said angrily: "Don't go, otherwise, you have to take me with you this time."
"Brother Dog, when did this happen and you are still causing trouble?!"
Guan Heng held his forehead and sighed bitterly, but as soon as he rolled his eyes, he immediately walked to Agou and whispered: "You want to follow me, just because your hands are itchy and you want to fight, but what kind of enemies can there be in the shortcut of the mountain path? It is better to follow it.
If we walk along the road, a few guys from the Moudu tribe will pop up from time to time to cause trouble and seek death. Isn't it okay for you to just clean them out?"
"Well, well...what you said makes some sense."
When Ah Gou was stunned for a moment and lowered his head to think, Guan Heng stretched out his hand and grabbed Xu Bai's arm. The two of them stepped on the Ghost Swallowing Tiger and ran forward. Guan Heng also raised his voice and said: "Let's take a step first, everyone."
Please follow me quickly."
When everyone saw that Guan Heng and the others had run far away, they all couldn't laugh or cry, so they had no choice but to head towards the main road.
…
At this moment, the middle-aged man looked at the piece of cloth handed over by his daughter, and his expression suddenly changed: "Damn it, such a thing is happening? I have to go back quickly." The little girl Xu Luer hugged Xiang Snake Bird and said: "Dad,
This little bird is so hot all over, and why doesn’t it wake up?”
The middle-aged man stepped forward, took a look, and immediately said: "Oh no, the golden-crowned demon owls that just attacked the colorful strange birds often eat the 'poison ivy fruit' on the edge of the cliff, so there is a lot of dirt on their claws.
There is less poisonous juice, this bird is poisoned now."
Xu Luer became anxious when she heard this. She said with tears in her eyes: "Then, what should we do?"
"Daughter, don't cry. Let's do this. Although the matter is urgent now, it is also important to save this little bird. I think its owner should be very kind to the family and cannot just let the colorful strange bird die."
The middle-aged man thought for a long time and then said: "To get rid of the poison in the bird, we need the nameless spiritual grass under the cliff near Pinecone Mountain. Let's go back quickly."
"Okay." Xu Lu'er nodded. At this time, her father had already carried her on her back. The other party said, "Hold this little bird. Daddy is going to start."
"Hey, hey, hey -" The middle-aged man lowered his body at this time, with the wind blowing under his feet, and rushed forward in one breath. The father and daughter were originally from the Weishui tribe, and their location was not far from Songuo Mountain.
It wasn't far away, so it didn't take them a moment to reach the cliff at the foot of Pinecone Mountain.
"Dad, the cliff here is so steep..." Xu Luer said timidly, holding the elephant snake and bird in her arms: "You must be careful."
"Don't worry, keep an eye on the birds here. I'll come back as soon as I go." The middle-aged man patted the copper sword on his waist, and then climbed up the cliff in front of him with a few clicks. He himself was crimson.
The powerful person has lived in the mountains for a long time, and his skills are extremely fast and unparalleled. He has climbed to the middle of the cliff in the blink of an eye.
At this time, the middle-aged man looked up and saw a spiritual grass with green saw leaves, red flowers and yellow seeds swaying in the wind in the gap of the cliff, exactly seven or eight feet away from him.
"Okay, that's it..." The middle-aged man was secretly happy when he saw the target close at hand, but he didn't notice that a long and narrow body was slowly swimming between the vines on the cliff in front, and there was a hugging body on the ground.
Behind the snake-bird-like Xu Luer, several ghostly figures also appeared.
