388 Many Snakes
No matter how much Xing Shang and others wanted to find Murong Yue back who had left, or they followed him with enthusiasm and faced Zi Xinhao together.
But in the end, reason still defeated emotion!
Murong Yue was right. They really didn't know how to deal with the Tianlian Mountains that everyone talked about in the Crescent Continent. She talked about the flowers and trees that can eat people, and the insects and ants that can eat people. They
Totally unheard of and unseen.
In such an environment where they talk about everything in the sky and the night, they may not be able to use even seven points of their martial arts. If they follow Murong Yue, as she said, they will be useless except for being a hindrance.
After packing everything up, everyone carefully carried King Chen into a secret room only ten meters away from the cave. The opening of this secret room was cleverly chosen by Xingtu and the others at a tree surrounded by three people.
In a tree hole at the top. Only by jumping up to the big tree and pushing aside the dense leaves can one discover the secret passage that can allow one person to sneak into.
Xingtu and Xingmu are both good at discovering tunnels and mechanisms. Although it only took half an hour, the four of them, who are highly skilled in martial arts, managed to create a secret room of seven or eight square meters. Although it was a little crowded after everyone entered, it was
In a hurry, he finally found a hidden place to stay.
In the following days, as long as Murong Yue lures Zi Xinhao away and gives them time to recover from King Chen's injuries, they can take a detour back to Beichen Dynasty.
"Boss, if the master wakes up and sees that the mistress is missing, I'm afraid..." Xinghai looked at Xingshang hesitantly and said in great embarrassment.
Xingshang sighed, glanced at the pale King Chen, and said: "Since the mistress has chosen to stun the master, we will let the master continue to sleep! Otherwise, I am afraid that the master will risk his life for nothing.
You have to crawl to find the princess!"
"This... okay! If you can hide it for a while, it's a good thing!" Xinghai also knew that this was just a temporary solution, but no matter what, he wanted to escape this disaster first.
Xingshang leaned against the cold soil in the secret room, looking at the few night-light pearls used for lighting without focus. At this moment, they couldn't even light a fire to keep warm. If they hadn't been on missions all year round, they would have become accustomed to every day.
They always carry necessities with them just in case, as they are afraid that in the coming days, even their survival will be a problem.
"Xinghai, how long will it take for Master to cultivate before he can leave?" Xingshang took a sip of fresh water from the roots of the tree and asked Xinghai who was aside.
Xinghai checked King Chen's pulse, then took out an elixir from his arms and fed it into his mouth. He then placed the luminous pearl in his hand on King Chen's wound. He saw that the flesh and blood at the wound had begun to slowly fade away to black.
Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Now that the toxins have begun to slowly recede, if things go like this, we only need to rest for three days before we can leave."
"Three days!" Xingshang thought silently in his heart for a moment, and then said: "Okay, that's it, we will cultivate here for three days, and leave after three days."

After Murong Yue left the cave where she lived, she came to the cave fifty meters away. She glanced at the dim sky with a cold smile on her lips. She flashed like a ghost, shuttling through the dense vegetation.
in the jungle.
After a while, Murong Yue grabbed a handful of fine and flexible grass vines in her hands, and weaved them with her hands like a butterfly through flowers.
Within a moment, a dense and thin flexible vine appeared in Murong Yue's hand.
"Yes, this craftsmanship is as good as that of a lone wolf!" Murong Yue chuckled and put the vine on her back. However, she was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, she took off the outer cover of her complicated embroidered skirt and tore it into three strips.
With strips of cloth about an inch wide, he tied his trouser legs and long sleeves tightly one by one.
Not only that, even the three thousand black hair on that end was tied into a neat ponytail by Murong Yue.
After some changes, the originally noble and elegant princess of Beichen Dynasty turned into a heroic and well-dressed girl.
After doing all this, Murong Yue moved her left arm, and the dagger turned into a star wing fell into her hand. The next second, Murong Yue raised the star wing with her right hand and placed it on her left arm without hesitation.
With one stroke, a bleeding but harmless wound appeared on her left arm.
The heartbreaking pain hit, but Murong Yue's expression remained unchanged. She grabbed her right hand and a piece of blood-stained step appeared in her hand. After a few twists, she wrapped the piece of step stained with black blood at will.
On the wound, the drops of blood stained the broken steps red, and then slowly slid down the arm, dripping into the grass covered with fallen leaves.
Seeing that the blood stained with King Chen's blood was stained with a little black blood, Murong Yue smiled coldly, the cold light in his eyes almost turned into frost, and with a flick of his right hand, the vine was tied around his waist.
No longer hiding his whereabouts, he headed towards Tianlian Mountain.
After Zi Xinhao entered Tianlian Mountain, he found that the traces of Murong Yue and his group became difficult to catch. Every time he entered a few dozen meters, he had to search carefully before he could continue to determine the direction.
As a result of this delay, their progress will become even slower.
Even so, the anger in Zi Xinhao's heart not only did not calm down with the passage of time, but became more and more violent. If the mountains were not covered with clouds and fog all year round and the environment was humid, he would have ordered people to set fire to Murong Yue and others.
Out!
"Master, a cave was found ahead. According to the inspection, they should have rested in it for a while." A subordinate responsible for the investigation came to Zi Xinhao and reported his findings.
Zi Xinhao heard this and stared at the destroyed vine. After his eyes touched the traces of blood splashed by the arrow inside, he smiled coldly. In his opinion, even if King Chen had already pulled out the arrow from his arm,
If you go, you are just asking for trouble, and there is no hope of survival.
"Keep chasing!" Zi Xinhao waved his hand and observed the surrounding environment with piercing eyes. After seeing the place in front of him where Murong Yue had just walked not long ago, there was a bit of sarcasm in his eyes. Sure enough, he had already started to get into trouble.
?
So what if they have superb methods of hiding their whereabouts? As long as they refuse to give up on the seriously injured person, and with the injuries caused by their own arrows, as long as the blood flow doesn't stop, they don't have to worry about losing their whereabouts.
After hearing Zi Xinhao's words, the ten subordinates did not dare to delay any more and all chased Murong Yue in the direction he was going.
The further they walked, the more obvious the traces left by Murong Yue became, and the look on Zi Xinhao's face became more ferocious. He completely ignored the changes in the surrounding environment.
As night falls, the mist in the jungle becomes more and more lingering, and the feeling of dampness and heat becomes more obvious. The fallen leaves under the feet begin to change from a thin layer to a thick one full of elasticity. The surrounding weeds also
It has changed from knee height to waist height, or even over shoulder height, making it more difficult for everyone to move forward.
"Master, we can't go any further. If we continue walking, I'm afraid we won't be able to find the way back!" One of the men finally couldn't help but say after splitting the vines around him again.
Although they are all highly skilled in martial arts, they have enjoyed all the glory and wealth in the Nalan Dynasty for more than ten years and lived a life of fine clothing and food. They have never been in such a difficult environment. Moreover, they
Already chasing
After beating Murong Yue and the others for a whole day, they didn't even eat a morsel of food. They were already ravenous with hunger. If it weren't for Zi Xinhao's intimidation, they would have gone back home as early as outside the forest of death. How could they have done it?
Wait until now.
Zi Xinhao snorted coldly, a trace of anger flashed in his red eyes. He moved and hit the chest of the man who opened his mouth with his palm, sending the man flying into the air and landing three meters away.
He shouted in a cold voice: "Whoever dares to think of giving up again, I will kill him! If the person who killed Ping'er escapes today, not one of you ten will be able to leave alive!"
"...Yes!" The remaining people gritted their teeth and finally nodded reluctantly. They turned around to lift up the man who was beaten by Zi Xinhao until he vomited blood, and gave him a gesture.
With a wink, he continued to walk forward.
Zi Xinhao snorted coldly when he saw this. If he hadn't kept them together to find Murong Yue and the others, he would have sent these people to the underworld with one palm. How could they not move under his nose?
Moving thoughts.
The coldness in his heart became more and more intense. Zi Xinhao reached out and touched the jade gourd containing Wang Ping'er's ashes tied around his waist, and his ferocious expression eased.
Tianlian Mountain! The Valley of Death! For him, it is just a burial place. It doesn’t matter whether it is what he wants in his heart! For a person who has thoughts of death, as long as he can be buried in the same place as his beloved, what is the point?
What's there to fear?
Just when Zi Xinhao was gently rubbing the jade gourd around his waist with his palm, he heard a frightened cry from among the people exploring the road ahead: "Ah! Snakes, there are snakes! So many snakes!...
…”
