There is no road in the world. When more people walk on it, it becomes a road.

The "road" Li Feibai refers to is just that he travels back and forth all year round, so it cannot be called a road at all.

There were overgrown weeds on both sides, rough rocks and thorns underfoot, and a mud puddle appeared from time to time, splashing everyone's clothes in colorful colors, and the surroundings were buzzing with mosquitoes, rats, and ants.

Nangong Mountain is miserable.

"Fei Li, is this really a road?" he asked breathlessly.

"My lord, it is indeed a road. Others who want to go out to exchange for grain and rice have to climb mountains and ridges. We are walking on flat ground, so it is a road." Li Feibai replied with a smile.

Lin Tianchong, Xiao Wuji and Yu Guangli have cultivation skills, so this situation is not difficult for them.

But Li Feibai only followed the map provided by Zhao Qiancheng, and it was his first time to go, but he had to pretend to be familiar with it.

This made it difficult for him, who had no cultivation skills.

"Your Majesty, there is an open space in front of you where you can rest for a while." Li Feibai pointed to a relatively flat stone in front of him on the left and said.

"Okay, very good, let's all take a rest." Nangongshan responded.

Li Feibai secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If he continued, he might not be able to hold on anymore.

It’s really hard to find in this damn Shen rural area.

Nangongshan almost fell down as he sat down on the stone.

"My lord, be careful." Lin Tianchong straightened his body, then took out a water bag from his waist and handed it over.

Opening the mouth of the bag, Nangongshan raised his head and drank.

"Fei Li, this magical village of yours is truly a place of escape from the world. It's so hard to find. No wonder it has been isolated from the world for thousands of years." Nangongshan sighed.

"I didn't let the prince come because the journey was too rugged and I was afraid of wearing out your body."

"Now that we're here, there's no need to miss the last part of the journey."

While the two were talking, a gust of wind suddenly blew out of the forest, which was terrifying.

"Why did the wind suddenly pick up?" Mo Fugui asked.

Li Feibai couldn't help but turn his head and look around, and said, "It shouldn't be. Although this mountain forest is cold and cold, this wind is almost bone-piercing. It is definitely not the natural wind in the mountains."

Hearing what he said, Xiao Wuji, Lin Tianchong and Yu Guangli immediately stood up and formed a triangle to protect Nangong Mountain in the middle.

Lin Tianchong, in particular, looked alert and stared ahead without blinking.

"Brother Bai, don't be joking." Xiao Wuji stared around and said.

"call out"

As he spoke, the dark wind rose again, this time it seemed much stronger, and knocked Mo Fugui to the ground.

"Oh, my old waist!"

His waist hit the stone hard and he let out a cry of pain.

"Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh"

Three more gusts of wind blew towards everyone.

Xiao Wuji and the others used their hands to strike forward suddenly, driving away three gusts of wind.

Not knowing what was going on, the three of them used all their strength just in case.

In an instant, the cold wind dissipated, and a little rain seemed to fill the air.

"What kind of smell is this? It's so strong?" Nangongshan held his nose with one hand and waved it in front of his eyes with the other.

"This is... a fishy smell!"

When he said the last three words, Li Feibai was almost roaring.

"Could it be...a mountain demon?" His pupils were wide open, with a look of disbelief on his face, mixed with a little fear.

Of course, Li Feibai was just pretending, because with Zhao Qiancheng protecting him in the dark, he was not worried about any danger.

But the mountain demon is real.

"Mountain demon? What mountain demon?" Nangongshan asked immediately.

"According to the elders in the village, there is a demon in this mountain that has been alive for nearly ten thousand years. It usually feeds on the birds and beasts in the mountain. Over time, it has become a spirit and started to feed on human flesh. Outsiders who are not familiar with this mountain come in.

As a result, most of them had no bones left and were buried in their bellies." Li Feibai looked a little nervous.

This is the first time that everyone has seen "Bai Fei Li" so flustered since they have known him.

"Are there really mountain spirits and demons?" Nangongshan's voice trembled slightly.

Originally, he thought this was Li Feibai's excuse to prevent others from following him back to the countryside to avoid being found to have falsified his identity. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a real mountain demon.

"Your Majesty..." Mo Fugui was so frightened that he got up from the ground and hid behind Nangong Shan. His feet couldn't help trembling and he almost cried.

"Hmph, what kind of mountain spirits and ghosts are there? I, Xiao Wuji, never believe in these. It must be the people from Qiancheng Pavilion who are causing trouble." After hearing what Li Feibai said, Xiao Wuji felt a little disdainful.

"I believe it." Lin Tianchong said decisively at this time: "Has Commander Xiao ever encountered a ghost?"

"I said I don't believe this, so naturally I haven't seen it."

"I've seen it before." Lin Tianchong was still frightened.

"Have you seen it?"

"Yes, I have seen ghosts with my own eyes in the Hundred Ghost Forest just outside the Imperial City." Lin Tianchong said solemnly.

Li Feibai was amused in his heart. It was Zhao Qiancheng who was testing his cultivation. Because his movements were too fast and he wore a grimace, he was mistaken for a ghost by Lin Tianchong and others.

"call out"

Another gust of wind flashed by, this time the smell was even worse than before, and there was even some black mist mixed in the wind.

"It's testing us." Li Feibai shouted.

The unknown winds are the mountain demon testing everyone's cultivation.

In this situation, Nangongshan wished he could grow wings on his back and leave this ghost place quickly.

"Commander Xiao, you said you don't believe in ghosts, but tell me, what are these smelly winds?" Nangongshan said cautiously, trying to use Xiao Wuji's words to embolden himself.

However, Xiao Wuji was speechless at this time.

After listening to Lin Tianchong's words and seeing such a strange scene, he was also shaken.

Are there really mountain spirits and ghosts in this world?

"Fei Li, do you think we will become the object of his mouth?"

At this time, Nangong Shan's voice was also filled with tears. He had not yet fulfilled his ambition and did not want to be buried in this mountain because of his impulse.

If he were asked to choose again, he would never fight with Xiao Wuji for the sake of his family who had "wasted gifts".

Wouldn't it be nice to stay in Longfeng County, wait for them to return, and then find a reason to "protect" his father and younger brother?

Why do you have to risk your life and go back to some kind of rural village with a "waste gift"?

His intestines were almost green.

"The prince is a member of the royal family, and he has the blessing of God. I don't think it will be like this."

Although Li Feibai's words were intended to be comforting, everyone could hear it and there was no confidence at all.

Therefore, no one spoke anymore and concentrated on responding to the enemy.

While everyone was watching with bated breath, a towering tree suddenly fell down.

Lin Tianchong had quick eyes and quick hands. He held Nangong Shan in one hand and Li Feibai in the other. He jumped off the stone where he was resting and quickly hid under the stone.

Xiao Wuji jumped into the air and dodged over. Yu Guangli could only hold Mo Fugui's hand, jump off the stone, and squeeze together with Li Feibai and others.

"Wow"

There was a loud noise, the big tree hit the boulder, the ground shook, and fallen leaves fell from the sky like a sudden rain, blocking everyone's sight.
