Treading Blood to Sky’s End Chapter 60: Lone Lion Village
At the beginning of spring, the mountains and rain are hazy.
Zhang Tianliu and Ah Qi traveled through wind and rain. They left the Sea of Fog in five days and climbed hundreds of mountains in seven days, but they were still in the hinterland of the trapped dragon. This shows how vast the trapped dragon mountain range is.
The two people who were inquiring about a good route in a small town left the town without rest.
There are barren mountains and ridges ahead, and there are no official roads, which means it is extremely dangerous!
Caravans often pass by on the official road, and the nearby beasts have been cleared away. Even if you encounter them by chance, they may not be powerful beasts. If you are invincible, you can wait two days for the caravan guards to clear the way.
But the barren mountains and ridges are different, and this is not a sea of fog. It is spring again, poisonous insects breed, and beasts that have been hungry all winter have begun to come out to look for food!
The two of them brought poisonous insects with them. They were not afraid of poisonous insects. It also depends on how fierce the beasts are. Those who can beat them will be beaten, and those who cannot beat them will be circumvented.
The idea is simple. Once you get into the mountains, you will see a completely different scenery!
Zhang Tianliu has accumulated a lot of experience and will not blindly go into the mountains. What's more, his native dog is very extraordinary and has a keen sense of smell. He keeps sniffing along the road. The speed is slow, but it is safer!
In addition to insects, there are two most terrifying creatures in this deep mountain, wolves and mandrills!
The mandrills that Shan Tuozi is afraid of are real. The mountains are indeed extinct, but it is hard to tell in this mountain. When asking for directions, someone reminded him that wolves and mandrills are in groups, and Will cooperate with hunting!
It is actually safe to encounter tigers and giant bears. They will not pursue you to death, and a good mount can easily get rid of you.
But wolves and mandrills, when you see it, it is likely that it has been surrounded!
"Huang, if you encounter a beast, run away. If you encounter a wolf or a mandrill, don't be afraid." Zhang Tianliu gave his Chinese garden dog a standard name.
Ah Huang is very spiritual and knows how to use his thin true energy to condense his nose and enhance his sense of smell.
It sniffed for three miles and finally stopped in front of a stream. It scratched the ground a few times with its paws and hesitated to jump across the stream.
When selling the dog, the owner of the animal business reminded him that Huang did not turn around immediately, indicating that there was danger ahead, but it was not enough to make him afraid.
Zhang Tianliu smiled, jumped off the dog's back, and said to Ah Qi: "I'll go in and explore the way. Don't worry, I won't go too far."
Zhang Tianliu has a mandarin duck blade. Nowadays, his true energy can fly two miles with the mandarin duck blade. If he wants to retreat, the mandrills and wolves will not be able to resist him.
"Sir, be careful." Ah Qi was still worried.
Zhang Tianliu nodded, jumped across the stream, and quickly disappeared into the forest.
A quarter of an hour later, Zhang Tianliu, who was deep in the old forest, suddenly stood still and began to look around.
The gloomy environment is surprisingly quiet. In other old forests, the chirping of insects and birds is indispensable, but here you can hear a pin drop.
A few black feathers floated around Zhang Tianliu, and with a sudden roar, more than a dozen vigorous figures suddenly appeared in the forest around him.
These figures are like human beings, but they are covered in hair, their arms are extremely long, their huge heads are ferocious, and their mouths are wide open to reveal a mouth full of saber teeth. If they were bitten by them, half of their bodies would be torn apart.
The black feathers around Zhang Tianliu seemed to suddenly disappear. In an instant, the body of the mandrill that rushed towards him opened inexplicably. Blood spurted out, and he fell to the ground dying before he could reach Zhang Tianliu.
In the blink of an eye, four mandrills fell down, and the rest stopped almost at the same time, turned around, rushed into the forest and disappeared completely.
"Smarter than some people." Zhang Tianliu smiled, put away Wu Yu and walked back.
Half an hour later, he actually came back again, but this time he was accompanied by Ah Qi and two mounts.
The mandrill body was not seen, but there was a pool of blood. Ah Qi frowned and shouted: "Sir, be careful!"
"It's okay." Zhang Tianliu looked majestic as he rode on the back of the dog.
After walking for a while, Ah Qi felt that they seemed to be stared at by countless pairs of eyes.
She has already opened her second sleep, and it is spiritual sense. No matter what is being stared at, she can detect it to some extent, and she is a little worried.
Zhang Tianliu comforted: "Don't they say that mandrills are very smart? They know they can't fight and won't provoke them unless we get close to their lair, but they will yell at us in advance to scare us away. If we don't retreat, they will fight hard. As long as we take a slight detour , this mountain is no longer in danger."
Zhang Tianliu inquired a lot along the way, and became more and more familiar with the habits of the beasts in Quelong Mountain. There are absolutely no other beasts in the forest where there are mandrills, and vice versa.
As long as the beasts are afraid of him, this mountain will be safe.
The two of them made it through the mountain forest safely. They also encountered many beasts on the mountain road, including wolves, giant bears, and a terrifying red flame demon tiger!
However, Ah Huang Tai Ji Thief turned around and ran away as soon as he smelled the slightest smell. After a long time, Zhang Tianliu saw a ball of fire shooting out of the forest, revealing the terrifying posture of the legendary red flame demon tiger. Unfortunately, at this time, The two sides were already separated by a mountain col. The Red Flame Demon Tiger could only helplessly let out a tiger roar, which frightened all the people in the mountains and trembled with fear. Even Ah Huang's feet were weak and he could hardly walk!
But what makes Zhang Tianliu strange is that Ah Qi's white deer feels nothing. Is it because he is too weak and cannot appreciate the horror of the red flame demon tiger?
The two of them took a three-day detour, climbed over mountains and ridges, and arrived at an ancient city after more than ten days.
The ancient city is called Guanhaichao, and the city lives up to its name. Here, you can see the most magnificent ocean tides, a bit like the Qiantang River, but the waves are much scarier than the Qiantang River.
The ancient city is built along a cliff, with the sea below it. The cliff is three hundred feet high, so it is not afraid of being submerged by the tide. However, according to legend, there was a tsunami that destroyed most of the ancient city, but it was not a once-in-a-thousand-year flood. But man-made!
According to legend, a strong man fought with the Siren King. As for the outcome of the battle, no one knows yet.
Zhang Tianliu and Ah Qi lived in an inn near the sea cliff. It was on the fifth floor and had a good view of the sea. However, Zhang Tianliu’s eyes did not fall on the sea below, but stared straight at the huge end of the sea. shadow.
"That's Tianya." Ah Qi came to Zhang Tianliu and said.
"Tianya!" Zhang Tianliu had seen Tianya when he first came to this world.
It was just that the crash point was in a high mountain area at that time, so it could be seen. Later, it could not be seen in the mountains, and it was even less possible to see it in the sea of fog.
"Has anyone been there?" Zhang Tianliu asked curiously.
"Yes, many people went there, but no one came back to tell us what kind of place Tianya is, so we just regarded it as a place where gods live."
"Fairy!" Zhang Tianliu sneered.
He is an atheist. Even though he was brought here, he did not regard the culprit as a god. For him, even if there is a god, this **** will not interfere with all living beings. Just as Lao Tzu said, the world is unkind.
"Let's go and have a look in the future." After Zhang Tianliu finished speaking, he went to meditate.
Ah Qi did not disturb the young master, and went to the side to meditate at Shuyuan www.zhaｏshuyuan.com, but it was difficult for her to calm down.
The next day, the two set off again. As the fishing village got closer and closer, Ah Qi's mood became more and more chaotic, rising and falling, sometimes looking forward to it, sometimes fearing it. Suddenly she didn't want to go! But she didn't dare to ask the young master to go back, and she didn't know what happened to her.
Amidst the torment of complicated emotions, the destination finally arrived.
A very special dilapidated village appeared in front of them.
In front of the village, there is only a huge three-foot-tall stone lion standing aside, and behind it is an archway with the words "Lone Lion Village" written on it.
"It's still a male lion, pitiful." Zhang Tianliu glanced at the majestic stone lion, and then led Ah Huang into the village.
Ah Qi followed behind, sometimes slowly and sometimes quickly, just like her mood. Even so, she subconsciously stayed away from the stone lion!
"Is there anyone? Hello, is there anyone? We are here to recognize our relatives. Whose family lost their daughter twelve years ago?"
Zhang Tianliu started shouting soon after entering the village, which frightened Ah Qi even more. She even had the urge to turn around and run back to Wushan.
Before she could take action, Zhang Tianliu grabbed her and pulled her while shouting. Finally, an old man walked out of the nearby thatched cottage and said to Zhang Tianliu through the fence: "What are you shouting about? Our village doesn't have any Your relatives are not ashamed either.”
"Impossible, you must be old and confused. Think again, twelve years ago, or ten years ago, thirteen years ago, anyway, a long time ago, there was a little girl, just her, open your old eyes and take a good look. Look, who does it look like? ”
The old man walked in slowly, pushed open the fence door, and actually came to the two of them, looking at Ah Qi carefully.
The more he looked at it, the more he frowned. Suddenly his face froze, and then he stepped back with a look of fear, exclaiming: "Aren't you dead?"
