As usual, Big Head drove the white girl forward to lead the way, and the others rode behind. Since the white girl was very hostile to the fire unicorn and would not let it get close, Batulu could only ride the fire unicorn and fly above the others.
At this time, everyone on our side has long been far away from Mobei, and the terrain in the area is no longer an endless grassland. There are mountains, hills, grasslands, swamps, and other terrains along the way. This is also the reason why Datou leads the way from the front. In this far north,
No one on our side has ever set foot in this area before, and has little understanding of the situation here. Datou drives Miss Bai to fly high, and can look for a suitable path for everyone from a high position. If he finds that there is a river or a large ravine ahead, he can
Make a detour in advance to avoid reaching the end and finding there is no way to go.
In addition, you can also avoid dangerous areas in advance. Places with too lush vegetation are likely to have ferocious birds and beasts hiding, while places that are too close to water sources are often filled with snakes and insects. Just choose flat terrain, not much vegetation, and a distance from the water.
Traveling far away can also greatly avoid being intruded by ferocious birds and beasts and poisonous insects and pythons. Although everyone is not afraid of these things, it will inevitably waste time if they are distracted.
Since everyone on our side did not bring much dry food with them when they set off, they had almost eaten all the dry food by then. Fortunately, they could encounter hares and pheasants from time to time along the way. Yu Yi had a very high level of understanding and learned everything quickly. After countless drills,
, his archery skills have long been superb, and he never misses when he fires a bow. Before he ran two hundred miles, there were a lot of miscellaneous things hanging on the saddle.
Although Yu Yi did not abide by the Buddhist precepts of killing, he did not kill indiscriminately. He thought that the prey would be enough for everyone to satisfy their hunger, so he stopped drawing his bow and concentrated on riding his horse, galloping northward with everyone.
The far north is inaccessible, and tigers, leopards, and jackals are everywhere, but everyone walks together, with golden eagles and sacred bulls on top, and BMWs running wildly below. This formation is not to mention tigers, leopards, and jackals, but also fairies and ghosts that have become spirits over time.
I feel fearful and retreat.
Two hundred miles north of Yufa Mountain is Beiyue Mountain, and eighty miles further north is Hunxi Mountain. This is a stone mountain with no vegetation. According to the records of the Great Wilderness, there is a two-headed strange snake named Feiyi in Hunxi Mountain.
This is a legendary ferocious beast that will bring bad luck to anyone who sees it. Not to mention that everyone is in a hurry, even if they are just hanging out and playing, they will not bring trouble to themselves.
Fifty miles further north is Beidan Mountain. There are no tall grass or trees in the mountains, but there are many wild onions and leeks growing here.
, the leeks in autumn are not delicious, so I picked some wild onions by the way.
A hundred miles further north is the Zhuangcha Mountain. According to records of the Great Wilderness, there are large groups of wild horses in the Zhuangchaan Mountain. However, people passing by here did not find the horses. It may be that the horses have gone elsewhere, or they may be in the Great Wilderness.
More than a thousand years after the records were written, the horse population has disappeared.
One hundred and eighty miles further north is Beixian Mountain. From here, everyone discovered a river flowing from north to south. The river was not big, with lush grass on both sides, and a large group of wild horses gathered there. The wild horses were actually not big, not much bigger than donkeys.
Sensing the arrival of the crowd, the horses immediately scattered and fled.
While everyone was resting to drink their horses, Yu Yi and Datou took the opportunity to pick up hares and pheasants. Although it was cold in the morning and evening, the temperature was still very high in the afternoon. If the internal organs were not cut open, the prey would easily go rancid.
The water in the river was clear, and there was a sandy bottom below. Everyone who had moved the earth and rocks last night was in disgrace. It was rare to encounter clear and clean river water, so everyone took off their clothes and went into the river to take a bath.
Just as everyone was relaxing and resting, Yu Yi's voice came from upstream, "Huh?"
"What's wrong?" Shi Xuanming stood up nervously and looked up.
"Hey, it's covered by grass, what can you see?" Big Tou curled his lips and teased.
"Why is there a stick here?" Yu Yi's voice said.
"Bangchui?" Da Tou asked casually, "Which one is it, the real Bangchui or the ginseng?"
"I put down the mallet that beats the laundry. You guys have a look." Yu Yi said.
After a while, a mallet floated down from the upper stream. Datou wanted to swim over and pick it up, but Shi Xuanming walked over and took it in his hand.
The big man is short and his head is not exposed in the water four feet deep, so he can only swim back in frustration.
After looking at it for a short time, Shi Xuanming walked closer and handed over the wooden stick.
He stretched out his hand to take it and looked at it carefully. Just as Yu Yi said, this
It is indeed a laundry mallet. It has obviously been chopped and polished. It has not been used for a long time. The handle is not obviously dented. It has not been soaked in water for a long time and has not yet swelled or rotted.
"There must be someone upstream." Datou said.
"You are so smart, you can think of such complicated things." It's not without reason that Shi Xuanming is always teased by everyone.
Datou glanced at Shi Xuanming, then turned to look, "Your Majesty, there shouldn't be anyone here. We didn't find any road when we came here."
He handed the mallet to Yang Kai with his backhand, "The road is for ordinary people. Those who dare to live in the desolate mountains must not be ordinary people."
Knowing that there were people living upstream, everyone washed up as quickly as possible and went ashore early. If the enemy attacked, they could not fight with their bare buttocks.
Setting off again, everyone was a little more careful. Datou and Batulu drove their horses as low as possible. While waiting for others to ride their horses, they looked around and were secretly vigilant.
The river where everyone bathed before flows from north to south. After everyone set off, they have been moving north on the west bank of the river. This unknown river is very long. After traveling for more than a hundred miles, there is still no source, and there are no people living around it.
There are no traces, and at this time, it is less than a hundred miles away from everyone's destination, Shanhu Mountain.
If we were traveling quickly on the official road, eight hundred miles would be enough for one afternoon. However, since there was no road in the mountains, everyone moved much slower. In addition, they had gone down to the river to take a bath earlier, so everyone did not look for him until the time of the watch.
Arrive at the legendary Danhu Mountain.
Less than twenty miles away from Danhu Mountain, the big head in front suddenly ordered Miss Bai to turn around. At the same time, he waved to Batulu repeatedly, "Uncle, land quickly, there is a situation ahead."
Hearing Datou's words, everyone on our side hurriedly reined in their horses and slowed down. Batulu, who was in the air, also controlled the fire unicorn and landed slowly on the ground.
The big head floated to the ground, and he quickly came to the crowd and said, "Your Majesty, there are some shacks and wooden houses in front of you, it looks like a small village."
"Is there any light?" he asked casually.
"No." Big head shook his head.
"How many rooms are there?
Home?" asked again.
"There are several wooden houses and some shacks. It seems that there should be seven or eight families." Datou answered.
Since everyone on his side was still on the south side of the ridge, he could not see the situation to the north, but one thing he was sure of was that the mountain to the north was Danhu Mountain, the destination of everyone's trip.
After pondering, he shook the reins and urged the horse, "Let's go over and have a look."
After a while, everyone climbed over the ridge. At the same time, they also saw the small village that Datou mentioned. The village is located at the foot of Danhu Mountain, slightly to the east of Shandong. In fact, it is not a village. Even the wooden houses and shacks total no more than
Ten households.
"The house is built so well, so he must not be an expert." Datou said in a low voice.
"They are not human at all." He said in a deep voice. As a Purple Qi Taoist, he can keenly sense the alien aura on the opponent even if the alien has not used spiritual energy.
"Snake spirit?" Big Head asked.
He nodded slowly, "The human-faced snake in Danhu Mountain is an ancient alien species. It has an extremely long lifespan. As time goes by, its spiritual practice will deepen, and it is not surprising that it will become a refined human being."
"The mallet we picked up before was probably what they left behind," Yu Yi said.
Nod again.
At this time, Shi Xuanming also opened his Dharma eyes and discerned clearly, "Your Majesty is right, those dozens of people living in the house at the foot of the mountain are all snake spirits."
After confirming the identity of the other party, everyone on our side turned to look at him.
He knew that everyone on his side was waiting for him to make a decision, but he never spoke.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Datou couldn't help but asked, "Your Majesty, when will we do it?"
"Let's talk after dinner," he turned to look at Yu Yi, "take down the prey and make a fire to roast it."
"Hey, Your Majesty, they noticed it as soon as the fire started." Datou said.
"I just want them to be aware of us," he said, "I want to see what they will do after they discover us..."
