Chapter 36
The closer we get to the Twin Peaks, the lower the surrounding temperature becomes. The chill that seems to penetrate into one's bones is even a little unbearable for Yu Renshu.
In order to keep out the cold, they drank all the wine prepared for Zhi Xuan. After being scolded by Zhi Xuan, Jiang Chao Ge vowed to buy a storage bag with more space when he gets to a big city.
Along the way, they saw many sporadic strange beasts, some flying in the sky and some walking on the ground. They were all small in size, so they did not dare to approach them. However, the annoying beast appeared again, giving people a bad feeling.
The Twin Peaks are already in front of us. The two giant peaks tower into the clouds. The peaks are hidden in the snow, making it impossible to judge how high they are. The hazy feeling gives people an invisible sense of oppression. The valley between the two peaks is
Like the entrance to hell, nothing can be seen clearly in the fog, but it exudes the smell of terror like a black hole.
"You can feel a lot of things from such a distance." Zhi Xuan said softly.
"Really..." Jiang Chaoge swallowed, not knowing what he would see after walking in.
Ruan Qiansu asked: "The area of the valley between these two mountains is not small. How can we find a weapon?"
Yu Renshu said: "Generally, where heaven-level soul weapons are located, the landforms will be strange. Because heaven-level soul weapons are very heavy, they usually create pits, sink the ground, damage mountains, etc. So as long as you find the approximate location, it is not difficult.
try to find."
Long Xiang frowned and said: "Then if it sinks into the ground, how can we dig it out with just a few of us?"
Yu Renshu and Jiang Chaoge looked at each other and said, "If you don't find the right one, stop digging. Tell Qi Lingfeng the news and ask him to send people to dig."
Zuiyou shook his head and said, "I always feel like you guys are hiding a big secret."
Long Xiang and Ruan Qiansu also thought so, but they knew the rules and didn't ask. After all, they only formed a temporary team to get what they wanted, and they would go their separate ways after they got down the mountain.
After entering the valley, as the guide said, the mountain peak blocked almost no sunlight and the light was very dark. However, the wind and snow were blocked. Their sight suddenly became much clearer and they were not blinded by the wind.
They saw several collared hedgehogs, and even more hedgehogs. Those hedgehogs were as tall as dogs and looked like mice, with thick thorns all over their bodies. They were rolling around and playing in the snow. They saw
When they came, he stepped aside and stared straight at them with his little eyes.
Jiang Chaoge was really worried that they would pounce on him. The thorns on his body looked so painful. However, these thorns could be used to make daggers, awls, etc. It would be great. It was a pity that he couldn't take anything with him.
Since they were escorted by two heaven-level soul beasts, they were never attacked again. They searched in the valley for almost a day but found nothing. Until sunset, they discovered a cave deep in the valley. The entrance of the cave was less than three meters away.
It was so high that even Zhengchen had to lie down to go in, let alone Tianrong's strange beast form. They had been searching for so long, and this was the only strange thing. The entrance to the cave was very round, and it didn't look like it was naturally formed, but the cave was
The wall is too rough and there are no traces of digging tools. It does not resemble the techniques of human craftsmen. People can't help but wonder how this cave was formed.
Yu Renshu sat on Tianrong and circled around the area. Tianrong jumped a few times and jumped up to the side of the Twin Peaks, looking down from a high place. After a while, he came down and said excitedly: "
It's probably here. It can't be seen from the ground, but from a height you can see that there is a whole piece of ground here that is lower than other places."
Jiang Chaoge rubbed his hands and said, "Let's go in and take a look. The soul weapon is probably in the cave."
Everyone looked at the dark cave and couldn't help but feel a little worried, but they had all come this far and there was absolutely no possibility of turning back. Tianrong and Zuiyou both turned into human forms. Ruan Qiansu also collected Zhengchen, and they
Walk into the cave on foot.
But just a few meters after walking in, a piercing scream came from behind. They turned around suddenly and saw seven or eight crocodiles flying in, blocking the road in front of them, squeaking wildly.
Although these beasts had been following them before, they had always kept a high distance from them, out of their reach. Now that they were so close to them, they were simply seeking death.
Ruan Qiansu's hand touched the Zhengchen Yue.
"Wait a minute..." Jiang Chaoge frowned and said, "They seem to be trying to prevent us from entering."
Those cockroaches really blocked their way, but they didn't dare to get too close. They just screamed with ferocious expressions, and their ugly bat-like shapes looked particularly like imps in the dark cave.
"Is there something scary in the cave?"
Yu Renshu said: "So what."
Yes, so what, they can no longer look back.
They did not stop and walked resolutely into the depths of the cave. The beasts followed them for a hundred meters. The cave became more and more spacious, but also darker and darker. They lit the fire, and the beasts seemed to dare not go any further.
He walked away, wailed a few times and then flew away.
Zhi Xuan rubbed his ears and said, "A bunch of ugly beasts are so noisy."
"Did you feel anything?" Jiang Chaoge asked.
"It is nothing special."
"This cave is so quiet, it doesn't look like there is anything there." Ruan Qiansu swallowed. Although she was fearless on the outside, it was obvious that she was not so calm in her heart.
They cautiously walked deeper into the cave, feeling more and more that they were going downhill as they walked. The cave was much larger than they imagined. It was like a moth in the mountain that had carved out such a long and winding cave.
Suddenly, Zhi Xuan moved in Jiang Chaoge's arms, "I feel it, there really is a soul weapon."
"Oh? Do you feel it is some kind of strange beast?"
Zhi Xuan shook his head, "To know what kind of strange beast it is, you have to smell it with your nose or look with your eyes. I can only feel a trace of the soul power of the soul weapon now. It should not be far from here."
"Very good." Yu Renshu tightened his grip on his weapon, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Among all the people, the one with the strongest desire to find a god-level soul weapon is the exiled prince, because this is a task that he must complete at the expense of his own dignity and honor. Only by completing the task can he prove his choice.
It is correct and worthwhile.
They continued to walk forward, and a large open pit appeared in front of them. With the weak firelight, they could only barely make out some clues, but they could not determine how big or deep the pit was.
Yu Renshu once found three heaven-level soul weapons for the royal family with the help of the great national master. Each one would almost make a big hole in the ground. As soon as he saw the hole, he knew that he had found the right one, but he didn't know
Could it be god level?
Jiang Chaoge said, "Are you going down?" His tone was affirmative.
Yu Renshu nodded, "Go down."
The cave here is spacious, Tianrong turned into a beast, loaded up Yu Renshu, Jiang Chaoge and Zhixuan, and carefully jumped into the pit, followed by others.
The pit was not steep, but it seemed to be quite large. After they descended more than 20 meters, they found something strange at their feet. The color was like dry straw, but it was as straight as a finger long and as long as a toothpick.
It was thick and scattered all over the floor.
"Why does this thing look familiar?" Zuiyou pawed at it, "Hey, it's so hard."
Long Xiang jumped off him and grabbed a handful of "straw", but she let out a soft "hmm" and opened her palm, and her fingers were pricked.
"Is it pointed?"
Long Xiang nodded, "It's very sharp, not a plant, but like an animal's thorn."
"What has such dense and fine spines?"
Zhi Xuan frowned and said, "But I didn't feel any strange beasts." He was startled, "There is only one situation, that is, when the strange beast is hibernating and its breathing reaches the lowest level, its soul power is almost invisible.
"
Tianrong said: "There is indeed some smell, but it is very unfamiliar. Since it is hibernating, we don't need to worry about it. Find the soul weapon quickly, it is just ahead."
They continued walking into the big pit, and kept stepping on the sharp thorns along the way. They walked more than two hundred meters, and a round ball-like thing appeared in front of them, bigger than a human head.
It's dark, in the very center of the pit.
"That should be it." Yu Renshu jumped off Tianrong, walked over, took a photo of the fire folder, and finally saw the appearance of the thing clearly. It was a large meteor hammer, and the chain and ball were all rusty.
, just like Zhi Xuan Dao looks like tatters.
Yu Renshu grabbed the chain and pulled hard. The meteor hammer was motionless as if it was pressed against the ground. Yu Renshu said: "Yes, it is a heaven-level soul weapon."
Jiang Chaoge put Zhi Xuan down, and Zhi Xuan walked to the meteor hammer, smelled it carefully, shook his head and said, "No."
Yu Renshu froze and lowered his eyes, unable to hide his disappointment.
They traveled a long distance to come here, but what they found was only a heaven-level soul weapon. How could they not be disappointed.
Jiang Chaoge came over and patted him, "Shu, don't take it too seriously. Our mission is not that easy to achieve in the first place. Tianling Continent is so big, it's so difficult to find them. Let's go look for them again."
Yu Renshu nodded, stood up, and sighed heavily.
Long Xiang couldn't help it anymore, "What are you looking for? I've traveled around for several years. If you tell me, maybe I can help you."
Yu Renshu shook his head, "I can't say." Long Xiang said coldly: "Then there's nothing we can do. Since it's not what you want, let's go down the mountain."
Yu Renshu walked around behind the meteor hammer without giving up, "Ruan Qiansu, do you want to come and try to see if you can fit it?"
Ruan Qiansu shook his head, "I am very satisfied with Zhengchen, and even if we can match him, I still can't use the meteor hammer."
Jiang Chaoge said: "If it matches, at least it will be convenient for us to transport it down the mountain." He thought for a while, "How about I use it to plead with Qi Lingfeng for you?"
Ruan Qiansu's expression turned cold, "Impossible, Qi Lingfeng will not let me go."
"Why? You can swear to him that you will never reveal a word of Qi's Kung Fu." Ruan Qiansu shook his head, "It's not that simple."
Jiang Chaoge's heart moved, and he always felt that he had captured something. Maybe Ruan Qiansu really stole more than just Qi's skills. Qi Lingfeng didn't look like a snake-hearted person, otherwise he might have killed Ruan Qiansu from the beginning. Now,
He did not hesitate to entrust Sha Xue to take Ruan Qiansu's life, if it was just to protect the family's inherited martial arts from being leaked, it seemed a bit excessive. Firstly, he would inevitably have a gap with his second son whom he valued most. Secondly, he should understand that Ruan Qiansu
Qiansu is not that stupid, how dare he reveal Qi's Kung Fu casually. Unless Qi Lingfeng has other reasons to kill her. Of course, this is all Jiang Chaoge's guess. Only the estranged father and daughter know the real situation.
Under the expectant eyes of everyone, Ruan Qiansu walked over and tried. As expected, she couldn't get it at all. She spread her hands and said, "There is nothing we can do."
Yu Renshu said: "There is no other way, let's go."
Zhi Xuan suddenly shouted: "There is something!"
Before they finished speaking, the ground beneath their feet suddenly trembled. Several of them were already unsteady on the slope and almost fell.
Tianrong shouted: "Quickly retreat."
Everyone crawled on the strange beast one after another.
Yu Renshu tiptoed and jumped up. He was about to jump on Tianrong's back. Suddenly, something swung over in the darkness. It was very fast. It almost reached Yu Renshu's side in the blink of an eye. The thing looked like
It chased Yu Renshu's legs in a roundabout way like a whip, and suddenly entangled his legs!
Yu Renshu yelled, whipped out the Tianrong mace from behind, and struck it hard. The powerful soul power contained in the mace shattered the thing that was wrapped around him!
Before he fell to the ground, Tianrong had already caught him and threw him on his back. Tianrong asked anxiously: "How are you?"
"Leg..." Yu Renshu gritted his teeth and said, "I know what it is. It's a long snake. We have entered a snake's nest!"
The snake is a long snake, which can reach a length of more than ten meters to dozens of meters. It has steel bristles like boar bristles on its body. The older it gets, the bigger the size and the harder the steel bristles become. Its behavior is extremely ferocious. This is what Jiang Chaoge saw on the Internet.
It turns out that the thin thorns in the area just now are the steel hairs shed by the long snake!
The ground continued to tremble, and in the dim firelight there were constant dancing shadows of long snakes, varying in thickness, at least dozens of them. Yu Renshu was right, they had entered the snake's nest. Jiang Chaoge shouted: "The long snake is heaven-level.
A strange beast or a mysterious beast?"
"Snakes have a long lifespan and are easy to practice. If you practice for more than a thousand years, you will naturally become a heaven-level snake." Zuiyou said: "I hope there will be no heaven-level giant snakes here."
As soon as they finished speaking, a thick snake head burst out of the ground, and the whole cave shook, as if it might collapse at any time. They jumped on the back of the strange beast and ran wildly out of the cave. Even if they really wanted to fight, they couldn't fight here.
They cannot be buried alive.
Snakes were awakened from hibernation and were very hungry. They ate whatever they saw, so they naturally pursued them. The long snake glided very fast, and Zuiyou fell at the end, with a faint tendency to be overtaken.
Jiang Chaoge held Tianrong's back with his thighs and freed his hands to check Yu Renshu's wounds.
Fortunately, he was covered by thick cotton trousers, so the snake's steel hair did not penetrate too deeply, and the injury was not serious, but the row of tiny blood holes was really shocking.
They didn't have time to bandage the wounds, so Yu Renshu said: "It's okay, it won't affect the movement." He looked at the long snake chasing behind him and knew that this was bound to be a fierce battle.
Jiang Chao Ge said to Zhi Xuan: "You go back to the sword."
Zhi Xuan said: "No, they don't dare to approach me."
"how do you know."
"If you don't dare, you just don't dare. With me by your side, you can still be safer."
Tianrong said: "He is right. Normally alien beasts will avoid him. Humans cannot feel it, but alien beasts can."
Bright light could be seen in front of them, and they could run out of the cave soon. The entire cave seemed to collapse, and gravel kept falling. The three alien beasts ran as hard as they could, but soon they realized a serious problem.
That is, the closer you get to the entrance of the cave, the narrower the walls become, and there is no room for them at all.
