Towering trees block out the scorching sun. There is soft soil mixed with leaves under your feet. The stench makes you dizzy. Mosquitoes as big as a palm can be seen everywhere. These mosquitoes are highly poisonous.!
Deep in the forest, unknown monster sounds can be heard at any time, which makes people worried. Zhang Tao, dressed in coarse linen clothes, had difficulty walking in the mud, and his feet were covered with mud with every step.
The branches creaked, and Zhang Tao and the other two people walked together. Zhang Tao naturally joined the team after he changed his appearance. In fact, this was originally a coincidence.
Originally, Zhang Tao entered the Mountain of Alien Beasts alone, and Tie San had promised to enter Tianwen Mansion. Of course, Zhang Tao fulfilled his promise and gave Tie San a lot of ores, but the first thing that needed to be built was naturally Zhang Tao's weapon, but it took a lot of time.
Zhang Tao had nothing to do but come to the Mountain of Alien Beasts to practice first.
Continuous fighting and continuous training can also quickly improve your strength. Then a person lights a bonfire and enjoys the rare solitude of the night and the unknown fun of the forest, but two people appear to disturb him.
The bonfire swayed, like a girl taking off her clothes, full of strange temptations, but adding a touch of weirdness and terror to this temptation seemed a bit wasteful. The originally eerie mountain ### appeared with a face full of wrinkles and double eyes.
The old man's eyes were like those of a falcon. This old man was hunched over and holding a wooden crutch in his right hand. He looked like he was about to die in his final years, but his eyes were as sharp as an owl in the dark night.
His body was shaking slightly, his hair was sparse and gray, and he was coughing slightly. Behind him stood a pretty man with red lips and white teeth. He seemed young, but in his mid-twenties.
Because of Yi Tinghan's relationship, Zhang Tao subconsciously paid attention to the opponent's Adam's apple, and found that there was no trace of disguise, but that he was actually a man, but he was handsome and somewhat feminine, which was somewhat similar to the previous Kong Ling, but his strength was not impressive.
It's not even considered an innate state.
Zhang Tao, with his thousand changes, looks like he is barely in the innate realm. At most, he is a person with five qi and a dynasty. However, on the other hand, this old man is actually a top celestial being, and the young man behind him has a respectful look on his face.
They are masters and disciples.
"Sir, my master and my disciple have come to the Mountain of Alien Beasts and have never met anyone else. I wonder if I can disturb you?" The old man spoke in an extremely low voice, as if there was phlegm stuck in the throat, making it extremely uncomfortable.
"Senior, you're very polite. Please take a seat quickly." Zhang Tao naturally would not expose himself and acted respectfully. After all, as an innate master, with a little bit of eyesight, he could tell at a glance how extraordinary this old man was.
The old man seemed quite satisfied and sat with the young man beside him, "I'm Mingwang, this is my disciple Lu Fan, do you know this young man's surname?"
Zhang Tao memorized their names in his heart, then clasped his fists and said, "I met Senior Ming Wang, Mr. Lu Fan when I was issuing the pound." Lu Fan naturally clasped his fists in return, but the old man seemed very indifferent, "I see that the young master has innate strength.
, why did you venture into the sacred mountain of strange beasts alone?"
Hearing the old man's question, Zhang Tao felt slightly unhappy. We met by chance under a campfire. Is it necessary to find out the truth? Obviously this is against common sense, but Zhang Tao doesn't look down on a mere top celestial being. "
To return to my senior, I am short of a strange beast, I just want to try my luck and train myself by the way."
Ming groaned, then closed his eyes to rest, while Zhang Tao was adding firewood to the side. However, if it burned too vigorously, it would attract the attention of strange animals, so it is extremely important to control the campfire in the wild.
After a night of silence, it was difficult to tell the difference even during the day in such a forest. It was difficult for the early morning sunlight to penetrate into this dense jungle, but as a martial artist, I could still catch a trace of light that was different from the dark night.
"Master Da, it's too dangerous for you to travel alone in the Mountain of Alien Beasts. How about you follow me? We can still take care of each other, and I see that you and my apprentice are the same age, so we can discuss it with each other."
Zhang Tao's rash invitation made Zhang Tao wary.
Showing courtesy for nothing is either a traitor or a thief. This old man is more powerful than himself, but he just puts down his identity to befriend him. He must have some agenda. He has no talent and has no crime. The other party is still so enthusiastic, so it must be
Be interested in your own identity or your own life.
Today's Zhang Tao is no longer the young man who left the village. He would naively think that the other party is good to him and is enthusiastic. People on Dongyue Continent must be on guard against others. Of course, Zhang Tao will not be so careless.
"Since senior is kindly willing to box, then it is better for Da to be respectful than to obey. It is just that it will inevitably cause more trouble to senior in the future, and I hope senior will not take offense." Zhang Tao said with fists in his hands.
"Haha, you are so polite, sir." After Mingwang finished speaking, the temporary trio formed together like this.
While everyone was chatting, Zhang Tao learned that Lu Fan was originally a son of a family, but because of his slow cultivation, he was cast aside by the family and received cold looks. He ran away from home in anger and met this old man and accepted him as his apprentice. Lu Fan naturally
He was extremely grateful and respectful to the old man. He believed that he had found the master who would change his life's destiny.
Zhang Tao naturally expressed congratulations and envy, and became even more suspicious in his heart, what is the purpose of this old man? He brought a young apprentice who was no more than a seventh-level martial artist directly to such a dangerous mountain of strange beasts. Isn't this really contrary to common sense?
However, now it is impossible to determine the purpose of the other party. Along the way, Zhang Tao pretended to choose alien beasts, but did not find the one that suited him. Minwu also comforted Zhang Tao not to worry, and he could take his time with the alien beasts, saying that his apprentice Lu Fan did not have any alien beasts.
Beast, this requires fate.
Zhang Tao naturally looked like he was being taught. He encountered strange beasts on the way, and Minwang also showed his strength. Although the Peak Heavenly Scholar was nothing in the strange beasts and sacred mountain, the route everyone took was relatively safe, so it was
No surprises.
Soon, many plants like dead branches and vines appeared around, completely blocking the only light in the sky. Not only that, but also forming a passage. It was so dark that you actually needed to light a torch to see within a few meters.
The scene was so blinding that even Zhang Tao could only see a dozen meters in front of him.
"Master, where is this place?" Lu Fan felt a chill inside, and the passage that looked like a devil's road seemed to be dangerous.
"This is called the devil's esophagus! It is the most dangerous place in the Mountain of Alien Beasts." Ming Wan's face was solemn, and in the darkness, under the light of the torch, he looked like a real devil.
Zhang Tao's face was solemn. He did feel something unusual here. Why did Mingwang bring his apprentice here? "But the more dangerous the place, there must be corresponding treasures. This time, I will bring you here."
Just to get this treasure." Minwang said.
"Treasure? I wonder what kind of treasure it is?" Lu Fan was a little surprised and delighted.
Ming Wang chuckled, "Of course it is a treasure suitable for you. When you get this treasure, you will definitely be able to return to your hometown in glory. Then everyone in your family will look at you with admiration." Lu Fan took a deep breath after hearing Ming Wang's words.
He became a little thicker, and it was obvious that he had been looking forward to getting ahead for a long time.
Zhang Tao frowned slightly, practicing martial arts also requires being down-to-earth. Even if treasures can bring you an endless future, you still need to climb step by step. Such words are exaggerated.
"Thank you so much, Master." Lu Fan was about to kneel down with excitement on his face, but was helped up by Ming Wan, "You silly disciple, you can thank your master after you get the treasure. Let's go, but we have to restrain our breath and be careful."
The three people walked in slowly, and soon Zhang Tao smelled a strange smell. It was said to be fragrant, but it was pungent, and it was said to be foul, but it was also refreshing.
"It looks like it should be some kind of natural treasure, right?" Zhang Tao thought silently in his heart.
However, in the faint light of the fire, everyone could clearly see a huge black shadow. Zhang Tao took a closer look and saw that it was a huge red-black centipede. There must be strange beasts next to strange treasures. This is the law of heaven and earth.
, the exotic beasts were the first to discover the exotic treasure, and they guarded it for thousands of years just to wait for the exotic treasure to mature. Now that the scent of the exotic treasure is strong, it is obviously almost done.
Naturally, this strange beast could achieve perfection, but it was targeted by the old man. Zhang Tao could clearly see the greed in the old man's eyes. Obviously, this unknown plant was what he needed.
"Master, what should we do?" Lu Fan also seemed a little excited, but when he saw the strange beast on the side, he was obviously very afraid, and there were some beads of sweat on his face.
Mingwang looked at the strange beast, then at Zhang Tao, and suddenly said, "It's very simple, just stand still."
Ming Wang's words made Lu Fan stunned for a moment, and he obviously didn't know why. But at the next moment, Ming Wang suddenly took action, like lightning, hitting Lu Fan's back with a palm, and then twisted and controlled Zhang Tao with his right hand.
Lu Fan spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes were full of disbelief, but Zhang Tao smiled coldly and was not surprised. It was obvious that Zhang Tao had expected this.
"Master, why?" Lu Fan seemed to have such doubts in his eyes.
Ming Wan laughed loudly, "Silly disciple, you are the bait used by my master to lure away this iron-armed centipede. As for you, I'm sorry. I also want to be on the safe side, so just sacrifice yourself for me. Wait.
I get: After the Dark Spring Flower, you will become a saint and a strong person, and you will also be honored."
"It turns out to be the Dark Spring Flower. Huh, this iron-armed centipede will fall into a deep sleep after sucking blood. Then he can take advantage of it. It's really despicable. This Lu Fan has been taken advantage of." Zhang Tao thought in his mind.
"This is not true, ah!" Lu Fan, a family waste who was hit hard, has been transformed after being deceived again. If he survives the disaster this time, he will definitely be able to achieve great things.
"Huh?" Suddenly, Minwan saw Zhang Tao's face and found that Zhang Tao had a calm face. A bad premonition suddenly appeared in his heart, "Is this this kid?"
