Between Anhe State and Shan State, at the junction of Liuyang area and Dafengyuan, there is an ancient poplar forest, which is the landmark that divides the border between the two countries.
Hou Zi did not hesitate and rode straight in. Judging from the map, the poplar forest was only dozens of miles wide, so there was no need to hesitate.
After only a few hundred steps into the forest, he felt that there were deep leaves under his feet, which greatly affected the horse's speed and slowed down unconsciously. Even if he used the method taught to him by Taoist Chongling, he could not avoid the horse's physical strength. Lost quickly in the woods.
He had to slow down, otherwise the poor horse would be exhausted if it could not get out of the poplar forest.
The forest was eerily quiet, with no chirping of birds and insects as there should be under normal circumstances, and no cunning rabbits or squirrels that should be seen; the fallen leaves on the ground had accumulated over the years, emitting a nauseating pungent smell, and the tall poplar trees The trees are densely packed, making the forest as dark as dusk.
This damn place!
Hou Zi carefully pulled out the Yanling Saber and immediately went on alert. For the first time, he had a preliminary understanding of the area controlled by the Demon Gate. It was no wonder that it was called a demon. It was completely different from the sunny scenery along the Anhe Kingdom.
He didn't know what was hidden here, so he just wanted to pass quickly and didn't dare to stop and linger.
After walking for several miles, the forest became darker and darker. Suddenly, when I looked back, I saw the Yanling knife being pulled back. There was a faint light flowing on the blade. It was the unique power of the practitioners. Although it was still very weak, it was also extraordinary. Weapons are comparable.
The light of the knife passed by, and a spider as big as a fist was cut in half. However, the resistance on the knife was felt to be quite large. The knife was fired with momentum, which showed that the spider was not a mortal thing.
This is the first time he has seen a spider as big as a fist. It hangs in the trees on silk threads. It comes and goes without a trace. It is very dangerous. Fortunately, this thing is not of a high level. It should belong to the lowest level of monster, or it cannot be mentioned at all. On the contrary, he is evolving into a monster.
There are water monsters in the south and mountain monsters in the north, so there is no peaceful place.
I was even more vigilant and kept my eyes wide open. There were spiders on the trees, and I didn't know what was among the thick rotten leaves.
Before he had taken a hundred steps, he felt the horse's hind legs go weak and he fell to his knees. He had been prepared for it, but he didn't fall. He jumped to the side, and when he looked around, he saw that the horse was lying on its hind legs. It was holding a spider, biting blood, and its belly swelled, bright red, twice as big as a fist, and as big as the mouth of a bowl. Because it sucked too much blood, its belly was almost transparent, as if it would burst at any time.
Furious in his heart, he moved forward, and the light of the sword flashed again, killing the big spider that had been unable to move due to excessive intake of food. Suddenly, blood mist splashed everywhere, and a fishy smell made people feel nauseous.
Apparently, there were two spiders that jumped down at that time. He only found the one that jumped at him, but he didn't notice that there was another one that bit the horse's leg.
I looked around and found no other dangers for the time being. Looking at the horse's injured leg, it was already swollen and purple. It was obvious that the spider was poisonous, and the horse could not be saved.
He felt apologetic in his heart, a good life that others had bought was nothing more than a way to plow the fields, but now he was with him in trouble. Seeing the horse's limbs twitching, and its big eyes showing pain, he couldn't bear it, and with a flash of his sword, he sent the horse away. I had a great time.
Seeing the smell of blood rising, he knew that countless monsters that would smell blood would soon gather in this place, so he turned around and ran forward without hesitation.
There was already some regret in his heart. He should have stayed in Liuyangpan for a while. At least the locals knew about this poplar forest.
With one foot deep and one foot shallow, he soon discovered that his fast boots were not suitable for running in this environment. In short, everything seemed rushed. This was a brand new world, and his several years of criminal experience could not help him.
Even though he thought he was being cautious, he was still too wild.
The only good news is that the woods are not deep enough. When the light starts to get brighter, it is a sign that you are about to step out.
Along the way, several dangers appeared, including a big snake, a small beast, and a group of wasps... He no longer used the knife easily, and simply took a detour when he saw a wasp's nest. The big snake missed him and did not chase him.
, only the little beast had a knife fight with him, and they were both afraid of each other. I don’t know if the little thing ran away or was hiding in the dark waiting to continue to bite?
There is no animal that expresses kindness. Well, in fact, these things can no longer be called animals, they are just as good as monsters.
He was running forward in fear, not caring whether the noise he made might attract something dangerous. He couldn't stay here for a long time. For a person who was not familiar with this poplar forest, running out first was the best thing to do.
After running for an hour, he saw the light coming soon. He could not tell how many miles he would be able to leave this disgusting poplar forest, but his good luck ended there;
As he was running, he suddenly felt something was wrong behind him. He didn't have time to take a closer look. He subconsciously lunged forward and raised the knife with his backhand. However, he only felt a strong force coming from his hip. The force was so strong that he couldn't control his body at all.
I lay down among the disgusting and sticky rotten leaves and took a bite.
At the same time, a huge force pressed down on his back, preventing him from moving.
Just as I was secretly telling me that I was going to die, a human voice came to my ears, "How dare Daoist lackeys come to our country's territory to run wild?"
Hou Zi reluctantly turned around, and in front of him a strong man stepped on his back. The force became heavier and heavier, so heavy that he was almost buried in the rotten leaves.
"Why do you look back? Do you think of burning incense for grandpa in the underworld?"
This person obviously wanted to kill him. He could have killed him with one blow, but he chose to use this method of slowly destroying him. The strength of one foot became heavier and heavier. It seemed that he wanted to bury him alive in the mud.
Hou Zi did not explain. It was not that he was stubborn, but that he had no chance at all. How could he speak now that his face and mouth were stuck in the mud?
This is not for being an undercover agent, this is for making fertilizer. When I think of dying here without knowing which monsters will benefit from it, whether it will drink blood, flesh, or suck marrow, I feel extremely depressed.
The idea of getting ahead in your imagination is a joke. Only when you come to the Demon Sect's territory can you know how good the Taoist sect is.
The breath of a cultivator is much longer than that of ordinary mortals, so this method of death is particularly cruel. His current so-called physical skills are a joke, and there is no room for resistance at all because of the excitement in his body. In front of high-level cultivators, he is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Due to lack of oxygen, the brain has begun to become groggy, the hands and feet have long lost strength, and there is no sudden awakening of the ancient power at the last moment of life...
At this moment, a chuckle came from my ears, "Junior Brother Liang, a little Qi Qi Taoist, what are you doing to him? Pull him out, I have something else to ask him!"
Hou Zi felt a light pressure on his back, and then he was lifted up and fell into the thick mud. He coughed dryly in his throat and had tears and snot flowing from his nose. But he couldn't tell because his face was covered in mud now.
What.
With awe in his heart, Lin Shen couldn't believe that there were so many evil things and that there was so much right and wrong in the world.
