Under the afternoon sun, everything in the mountains is covered with a dazzling halo.
In the snow-covered pine forest.
A group of more than ten people were trudging forward in the snow, leaving a winding footprint on the gentle hillside.
Walking at the front of the team was a girl in plain white fur clothes, about eighteen or nineteen years old.
Her face is a very delicate and standard melon-seed face, and her beautiful facial features are like the stamens of a newly blooming flower, with a youthful and tender charm.
Above her head, hovering was a golden bell the size of a fist with a red damask tied at the top. The light flashed on it, and it looked extraordinary at first glance!
Silks of green light hung down from the surface of the bell, protecting the girl's body. At the same time, the thick snow around her waist also silently retreated to both sides under the influence of the green light.
Behind the girl, half a step behind, a middle-aged man in gray robe followed with an expressionless face.
Seven or eight meters behind the two men, there was also a young man in a dark purple brocade robe, and seven or eight servants in green clothes carrying huge packages on their backs.
Although the mountain road was difficult, the group of people moved at a slow pace and soon reached the top of a small hill along the hillside.
The leading girl stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the towering mountains in the distance covered by white snow, forming a unified body, and a look of joy could not help but appear on her pretty face.
Seeing the girl stop, the young man in dark purple robe quickly took a few steps, came closer, and said to the girl:
"Duo'er, there are only trees and snow on this mountain. What's so good about it?"
Having said this, the purple-robed young man paused slightly out of breath, and then said:
"Besides, before we came out this time, Uncle Yu had specifically told us not to go deep into Qingyuan Mountain! So we'd better go down the mountain quickly and go hunting in the wild forest!"
After listening to the purple-robed young man's words, Mei Duoer waved her hands indifferently and said:
"My master told us not to go deep. Aren't we still on the outside? Besides, Uncle Song is following us, so what's there to worry about?"
Speaking of this, Mei Duoer seemed to think of something:
"But having said that, it's not easy for you to go out. If you want to go hunting, go ahead. You don't have to follow me."
The young man in purple robe was about to speak when he heard the words, but suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet shaking violently. Before he could react, he saw several mountains in the distance suddenly crack open!
After a short delay, an earth-shaking loud noise came from a distance.
"Swish!"
Affected by this, the snow on the surrounding pine trees suddenly fell down, making a thin sound.
Immediately afterwards, the surface of the snow on the hillside squirmed slightly, and then rolled down the hillside.
There's an avalanche!
The young man in purple robe had just stabilized himself from the earthquake and the mountains were shaking, and he had not had time to speak.
Then I saw the middle-aged man in gray robe who had been standing quietly aside without saying a word suddenly shook his robe sleeves gently.
Following his movements, the world seemed to be shaken, and an invisible wave spread, sending a large pile of snow falling onto the girl's head flying dozens of meters away.
Then the middle-aged man in gray robe took a step forward, came to Mei Duoer, and said in an unquestionable tone:
"Miss, there has been an unknown accident in the mountain. For safety reasons, it is better to go down the mountain quickly!"
When the young man in purple robe heard this, he immediately echoed his words.
Although Mei Duoer has an out-of-the-box personality, she is not reckless.
After hearing what the middle-aged man in gray robe said, he nodded quickly, and then the group of people turned around and quickly headed towards the outside of the mountain.
…
"Boom!"
Gao Yuan and Zheng Song walked through the passage separated by vines. As soon as their feet reached the ground, they heard a dull and loud sound under their feet, and the ground in the valley began to shake.
"Boom boom boom..."
"Crunch..."
Before they could react, they heard a series of dense loud noises, and the ground beneath their feet shook violently.
Then I saw the ground in front of me suddenly retreating into the distance, and with the sound of countless vines breaking, I retreated dozens of meters away in the blink of an eye!
The two of them were stunned for a moment, and then they realized that the ground in the valley was cracked from the middle!
Not far in front of the two of them, an abyss dozens of meters wide across the valley had been formed!
"Fuck!"
Zheng Song suddenly heard a scream in his ears. Gao Yuan followed the sound and saw Zheng Song standing on the edge of the newly formed cliff, looking at something diagonally below in the distance with a look of horror on his face.
He quickly took two steps forward and looked towards where Zheng Song was looking.
But under the cliff opposite the abyss exposed after the valley cracked, there were countless giant hexagonal caves of similar sizes densely arranged like a honeycomb.
At this moment, a sound like the exhaust of a boiler suddenly came from the direction of these hexagonal caves.
These violent sounds of discouragement echoed repeatedly among the bottomless cliffs and then overlapped together, making them as shrill as the roar of an evil spirit.
Looking at the blue-grey walls that formed the hexagonal cave, a bad premonition suddenly flashed through Gao Yuan's heart.
Before he could react, a dull sound of metal collisions came from the direction of the caves, and then countless red lights were seen lighting up from these hexagonal caves!
An idea flashed in Gao Yuan's heart, and he finally remembered what the things in these caves were. He suddenly slapped Zheng Song who was standing aside and shouted:
"Don't look too hard! It's probably those puppet monsters, run away!"
In fact, Zheng Song also had some guesses at this time. When he heard Gao Yuan's words, he followed behind and said with some disapproval:
"What are you afraid of? There's such a big gap! Those monsters can't fly, can they still come up?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Zheng Song finished speaking, a dense buzzing sound suddenly came from the direction of the underground cliff behind him.
At first, these sounds were hidden in the constant roar coming from the ground, and they were not very obvious.
But it didn't take long for these hums to overwhelm the roar underground and reach Gao Yuan's ears clearly.
Gao Yuan turned his head and looked behind him, and his scalp suddenly went numb.
In the sky behind, countless golden figures were seen rising from the underground cliffs.
These golden figures are between two and three meters tall and look like upright ants. Not only do they have six gleaming claws on their bodies, their bodies are also lined with sharp spikes!
On the faces of these monsters, countless dot-matrix red light spots converged into a rather strange geometric pattern, with dazzling red light flashing on it.
After these monsters rose, they hovered in mid-air not far from the ground. From a distance, they looked like they were blocking out the sky and the sun!
As if sensing something, after a brief pause, the monsters' red-gleaming faces turned in unison, aiming at the two Gao Yuan who were running wildly on the ground.
Then with a dense buzzing sound, they chased in the direction of the two people.
Gao Yuan turned his head and saw the speed at which these monsters were flying, and just felt a little comforted in his heart.
Then, after crossing the underground cliff that looked like a chasm, these monsters fell to the ground like dumplings.
But after these monsters landed on the ground, they changed their slow behavior in the sky, and their running speed increased significantly. They were not much slower than Gao Yuan who was using his full blast technique!
