When Leng Yi heard this, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart. Yan Junhan's actions are always unpredictable. What he said must contain other factors. But Leng Yi in the Immortal Valley vowed to do it, even if he knew that there would be a near-death life ahead.
He never looked back and said immediately, "Peak Master, I hope you can show me the way forward."
The prophet looked at Leng Yi and nodded slightly, "The Valley of Eternal Life is located in the Forest of Death, where there are countless strange birds and beasts. I will ask Ye Yun to protect you for a while, but what happens after that depends on your own destiny."
Leng Yi clenched his fists in his sleeves and said hoarsely, "No need, I am enough alone."
Yan Junhan and the prophet seemed a little surprised when they heard this, but the prophet finally nodded, "Okay, now that you have made up your mind, I won't force you any longer. With your own repair power, you can overcome that period."
On the way to the Valley of Eternal Life.”
Leng Yi suddenly thought of a question. Yan Junhan and the prophet were both extraordinary and saintly beings. Why didn't they go to the Valley of Eternal Life in person and let him, an ordinary person, go there?
The prophet seemed to have seen through Leng Yi's thoughts and said directly, "The divine light is too great. Everyone has their own place. That road only belongs to you, and it is inconvenient for us to interfere in it."
Leng Yi asked curiously, "Why not?"
But it was Yan Junhan who jumped in and said, "We will tell you this problem after you come out of the Valley of Eternal Life alive, but you won't understand it even if we tell you now."
Leng Yi looked at the two cloud-like beings in front of him, clenching his fists tighter and tighter in his sleeves, and finally said, "When can I hit the road?"
"Now", the prophet answered simply.
When the moon sets and the sun rises, the matter at Meteorite Peak is basically over. At this moment, Leng Yi is walking towards the far west. He is not wearing a mask on his face at this moment. He threw the mask at Ye Yun, and a long
The wounds stood on the left and right sides of the cheek. It was shocking to see. Leng Yi walked alone through the deserted mountains and forests, wading through mountains and rivers. A month passed in the blink of an eye, and the forest of death was already dimly visible, with dots of darkness at the end of the horizon.
.
After all, Leng Yi is just a mortal, and basic living conditions are indispensable. Over the past month, Leng Yi has been hungry and has been looking for food in the barren mountains. Sometimes he even gnaws on tree roots. But water is the biggest problem.
, because it is the dry season in the Western Wasteland, the weather is dry, and it is normal to go without water for a few days. Fortunately, after Leng Yi came down from the Falling Star Peak, he filled all the water-holding utensils on his body with water, so that he could hold on all the way here.
This place is close to the edge of the dead forest, so it is not that barren. There is water and food. Some small prey can even be seen from time to time, and there are even more people. Leng Yi is afraid of frightening the people here, so he covers his face with a piece of black cloth.
Get up. After some careful inquiry, I found out that this place is called Pingyan Town, a small town on the border of Mirage Country. There are ferocious birds and beasts here from time to time from the Death Forest, so it is sparsely populated. There are only a few hundred people in the whole town.
Leng Yi found a water replenishment place, filled up the water, and changed some dry food. Then he went straight to the Forest of Death. Before leaving, a kind-hearted old man persuaded him many times, saying that there were too many wild birds and beasts in the Forest of Death, and told him not to leave.
He went to take the risk, but was politely declined by Leng Yi. After bidding farewell to the old man, Leng Yi walked for a few hours and arrived at the edge of the Death Forest.
It can be said that the forest is as its name suggests. If you look around, you can see that there is no end in front of you. They are all trees that are several feet to dozens of feet high. There are countless vines crisscrossing them, blocking all the light, and it is pitch black. It is cold.
Yi tightened the water bag on his body and walked inside.
As soon as we entered a certain distance, the surrounding light dimmed. You could only vaguely see the general shape within a hundred feet, but you couldn't see clearly even further away. Giant trees several feet thick could be seen everywhere, and occasionally there were the neighing sounds of animals.
came, but so far Leng Yi has not encountered a ferocious beast.
Leng Yi followed the path mentioned by the prophet, and the light became dimmer as he reached deeper. At this moment, Leng Yi could only see things within a radius of fifty feet, because the trees here were much taller than before. Leng Yi could even see
When you see a towering tree that is eight feet thick, you can't even see the top when you look up.
"Ouch"
At this moment, a howl came from the front. The sound seemed to be still some distance away from Leng Yi, but in this forest of death where the sun was hidden from view, Leng Yi couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He put his right hand behind his back
He took out a long sword and held it in his hand, and continued to walk forward. As Leng Yi moved forward, the howls of various wild beasts increased in number. Leng Yi tightened the sword in his hand and strode forward.
"hiss"
At this moment, a cold cry suddenly sounded from behind Leng Yi. Leng Yi didn't even look back, and instantly dodged to the side. Leng Yi's body had just moved half a foot away when he saw a python as thick as a big foot.
He bit Leng Yi with a bloody mouth. If Leng Yi hadn't dodged in time, he would have been bitten by the snake at this moment.
The python missed the blow and coiled up its several-foot-long snake body in front. It raised its head high and stared at Leng Yi with its two big blood-red eyes. Leng Yi held the knife in front and walked slowly.
Slowly moving towards the giant tree beside him, at this moment, the python pounced again, at an extremely fast speed, and in the blink of an eye it was less than a foot away from Leng Yi.
But Leng Yi was not slow either. As soon as the python launched its attack, Leng Yi's body began to move. He jumped towards the big tree next to him again. As he jumped, he held the big knife tightly with both hands.
When the python's head just passed through the place where Leng Yi was standing, Leng Yi slashed it off with his knife.
"puff"
With a soft sound, the python's head was broken off, the incision was extremely neat, and blood spurted out from the fractured spot, scattering to the ground.
Leng Yi instantly stepped back a few feet to avoid the blood spurted by the python. After the python's head was separated from its body, it struggled violently on the ground. The snake's tail slapped the giant tree and the ground, making a "crackling" sound. For a moment,
Finally, the python's vitality disappeared and its struggle gradually weakened.
Leng Yi stepped forward, waved the big knife in his hand, and took out the gall from the python's body. Without washing it, he swallowed the bloody gall into his belly.
Leng Yi looked at the python's head and found that the python was actually highly venomous. Without saying a word, he opened the python's lips with both hands, took out the venom from the snake's glands, and then quenched it on the blade.
After doing all this, Leng Yi hit the road again.
This was the first beast that Leng Yi had killed since he entered the Forest of Death. The deeper he went, the more dangerous it became, and the beasts would get bigger. He didn't know if he could hold on to the Valley of Immortality, but it was already here. He had no choice but to back down.
Since when, he has been destined to survive in the battle of blood and fire. That has been his only meaning of survival since the Battle of Tianhuang City. No matter what is waiting for him ahead, he will go all the way to the end.
As Leng Yi went deeper, various huge birds and beasts appeared from time to time, and the sounds they made were deafening. Leng Yi would not be stupid enough to confront these behemoths. He was still a mortal at this moment.
Without a human body, confronting those behemoths head-on was simply seeking death. Leng Yi carefully avoided areas where powerful beasts roamed. Relying on the huge trees that blocked the sky and the sun, he had gone ten miles deep into the forest of death.
The trees here are much bigger than before, and small animals can be seen running and flying everywhere. A giant bird with a wingspan of ten feet long just flew to the ground to catch a wild boar, but when it flew less than ten feet from the ground, it was killed by a giant bird.
The ape suddenly jumped out and tore it in half, and the scene was extremely bloody.
Leng Yi naturally took a detour, but no matter how he evaded, he could not avoid the huge beasts in the forest of death. Because a gray giant wolf that was ten feet long had already discovered him. The giant wolf was different from Leng Yi.
Soon, it was lying under a giant tree ten feet in front of Leng Yi, its eyes staring ferociously at Leng Yi. The corners of its lips trembled and wrinkled upward, revealing its dark fangs.
Leng Yi couldn't help but take a few steps back, holding the big knife in his hand tighter and tighter. The gray wolf in front of him was more than five times his size. If it were to attack him, he would definitely not be spared. Cold sweat began to break out on Leng Yi's forehead.
, he stared closely at the giant wolf's movements and slowly retreated step by step.
"Ouch"
When it retreated to a giant tree, the giant wolf opened its bloody mouth and let out a wild roar. It immediately jumped up and rushed towards Leng Yi. The speed was so fast that Leng Yi only had time to draw his knife across the ground.
Standing on its chest, the giant wolf's front paws had already hit the big knife in Leng Yi's hand.
The next moment, Leng Yi was about to be thrown to the ground by the giant wolf, but at this moment, the ground suddenly trembled, and the sound of "boom" suddenly sounded behind him. When the giant wolf's bloody mouth was about to bite Leng Yi,
A giant furry hand stood in front of Leng Yi. The five fingers of that giant hand spread out and grabbed the neck of the giant wolf. The giant wolf seemed not to have expected that such a giant furry hand would appear. In an instant,
He kicked his legs, swayed his body, and instantly broke away from the giant hand, retreating backwards.
Leng Yi looked back, and all the hair on his body stood up. He saw a pair of eyes as big as fists standing above his head, and those eyes were surrounded by gray hairs. They were not the generals just now.
A giant ape that was torn in half by a giant bird?
The giant ape was all white, beat its chest with both hands, opened its mouth and let out a howl, which immediately made Leng Yi's ears buzz, and sticky liquid spurted out along with the howl of the giant ape.
When he came out, he sprayed Leng Yi until his face was wet.
After the giant wolf broke free, it retreated ten feet away and let out a low roar, then returned to confront the giant ape. Its two thick hind limbs were slightly bent backwards, as if it was about to pounce, and its scarlet eyes stared closely.
The giant ape behind Leng Yi.
Leng Yi didn't dare to move at this moment. The giant ape's timely attack saved his life, but he was not sure that the giant ape would really help him block the gray wolf in front of him.
At this moment, the two giant beasts suddenly jumped forward at the same time. The giant ape jumped on the ground with its feet, and instantly jumped out from Leng Yi's head, colliding with the flying giant wolf. For a moment, the ape roared and the wolf howled,
Mud on the ground flew everywhere, and the gray wolf and the giant ape struggled together, breaking many surrounding trees.
Leng Yi hurriedly stood up and flew back desperately, fearing that he would be involved in the fight between the two behemoths. He retreated a hundred feet away before Leng Yi stopped and leaned against a giant tree to watch the battle ahead.
The giant ape slapped its two long and big hands up and down randomly, but each slap made the gray wolf let out a mournful cry. However, the gray wolf's fangs also bitten the giant ape in many parts, and its front paws were even more painful.
Several traces of blood were scratched out of the giant ape's face. The blood slowly flowed out from the claw marks, and looked shocking on the white fur.
The battle was intense for a while, but within a short time, trees were flying everywhere, dust was flying, and the howls became more and more frequent. At this moment, the white ape grabbed the gray wolf's neck again and smashed it hard.
On the ground, the gray wolf's entire body was suddenly smashed half a foot into the ground. The gray wolf roared instantly, but no matter how hard it waved its two front paws, it could not break free from the white ape's hand.
I saw the white ape directly lifting the gray wolf up. One of his hands wildly slapped the side of the gray wolf. For a while, the sound of "papa" could not be heard. After slapping for a while, the white ape waved hard and threw the gray wolf away.
It flew out and hit a giant tree hard, breaking a large piece of the tree's bark. The gray wolf suddenly let out a mournful roar, and its huge body dropped to the ground.
After throwing the gray wolf away, the white ape beat his chest hard with both hands, opened his mouth and let out a "ouch", and continued to rush towards the gray wolf. The gray wolf seemed to know that he was defeated by the white ape, and his scarlet eyes showed a little surprise.
With a look of fear, he jumped and ran away as soon as his feet touched the ground.
When the white ape saw the gray wolf fleeing, he chased after him. Leng Yi ducked out from behind the giant tree and heard the sound of breaking trees in the distance, followed by even more mournful roars. After a long time, a deafening roar was heard.
The sound of "ooh" resounded through the surrounding woods, followed by the sound of "bang bang", and then the beast's roar gradually stopped.
Leng Yi was afraid that the two behemoths would return here again. He ran in the other direction without looking back. He gradually stopped until he ran a mile away. He was so tired that he gasped for air. He raised his head and looked forward.
.I saw bursts of light smoke curling up from behind the hazy trees and drifting towards the treetops.
It is easy to get lost in this dark forest of death. If Leng Yi hadn't obtained some objects from the prophet that could help him identify the direction, he wouldn't even know where he should go at the moment. He took out something from his arms, then
The object is in the shape of a disk. There are traces of spiritual power flashing inside it, and the direction of the spiritual power flashing will always point to the north.
After Leng Yi identified the direction, he stopped no longer and headed west with a big knife in hand. Along the way, he encountered several powerful beasts, but they were all killed by Leng Yi one by one. One of the pangolins was extremely difficult to deal with.
, Leng Yi fought with it for a long time but failed to kill it. The pangolin's skin was too thick, and Leng Yi's sword never really hurt it, but it left several shocking marks on Leng Yi's feet.
After the wound, Leng Yi's big knife was finally stabbed into the left eye. If Leng Yi hadn't tempered the snake venom on the blade before, it would have been difficult to kill the pangolin.
Unconsciously, Leng Yi walked another ten miles, but what puzzled him was that the further in, the light became clearer and the trees gradually became thinner. In some places, there was even a giant tree within ten feet. Occasionally,
You can also see the blue sky, with streaks of light shining down from the treetops. At this moment, Leng Yi can see objects two to three hundred feet away.
Leng Yi took off a water bag from his waist, "Gulong" took a few sips, and continued to walk forward. When he advanced ten miles again, what appeared in front of him was an extremely open desert with occasional trees.
It was also short and thin, its branches and leaves were withered, and it seemed that it had lost its vitality. The soles of its feet were covered with yellow sand, and the surroundings were silent, with not a single wild animal wandering around.
Seeing this scene, Leng Yi couldn't help but feel excited. It was the environment on the edge of the Immortal Valley.
But while he was excited, he couldn't help but hold the big knife tightly in his hand. Maybe this was just the calm before the storm. Leng Yi knew that this was the most dangerous place.
The terrain here is relatively flat, with no mountains or cliffs, just endless yellow sand and dead branches. Leng Yi stepped on the yellow sand and walked forward slowly. His intuition told him that the level of danger here was definitely higher than those just now.
The beasts are worse than that.
The breeze blew gently on Leng Yi's face, gently blowing Leng Yi's cyan hair behind his ears, and behind him was a series of continuous footprints. It was the middle of the day, and the strong sunlight was shining directly on Leng Yi, but Leng Yi could not feel it.
A little warmth, but on the contrary, waves of chill hit my heart.
After advancing for another three miles, Leng Yi never saw an animal again. There was not a single plant here, it was all yellow sand. Leng Yi couldn't help but wonder. None of those powerful beasts had set foot here. It was conceivable that
You know how scary it is here, but Leng Yi walked for so long without encountering any danger.
At this moment, Leng Yi's eyes shrank because he saw a stone tablet standing in the yellow sand in front of him. Leng Yi stepped forward quickly and saw a few big words engraved on the stone tablet, "Forbidden land of eternal life, trespassing without permission"
"The one who died". The surface of the stone tablet was full of fission, and the writing was even more blurry. It can be seen that the stone tablet was very old.
Seeing these big characters, Leng Yi's heart suddenly jumped. No wonder there are no herds of beasts here. The instinct of beasts to sense crisis is much stronger than that of humans, so all animals avoid this place.
Leng Yi calmed down, clasped the sword in his hand, and stepped forward. As soon as he passed the stone monument, an inexplicable chill suddenly spread throughout his body, causing Leng Yi's body to stagnate for a moment, but he soon recovered.
Come here. Now that you are here, there is nothing to worry about.
Leng Yi looked forward and saw a bare mountain peak at the end of the desert. There was no vegetation around it. The whole mountain looked as if it had just emerged from the ground and was far removed from the surrounding environment.
Leng Yi no longer paused and walked forward faster. In just a moment's time, Leng Yi arrived at the foot of the mountain. However, at this moment, Leng Yi's eyebrows and green hair were covered with frost, and his lips were covered with frost.
The ice turned purple, and the sun was still shining directly on my head, but there was no feeling of warmth.
Leng Yi raised his head and looked at the strange mountain peak that looked like a huge boulder in front of him. The mountain was not steep, but there was no yellow sand in the whole mountain. It was all yellow solid rocks. Leng Yi easily climbed up and reached it with his hands.
The solid rocks here were all extremely cold, like icebergs formed by condensation of ice cubes. In just a moment, Leng Yi's hands were numbed by the ice. (To be continued...)
