I slept in a cave last night, so it wasn't obvious yet.
After traveling all night tonight, Gu Yuan had a deep understanding of the coldness of the night in Hutou Mountain.
The deepest impression this secret place gave him was that it was very cold at night, just like entering the dead of winter.
Fortunately, he was still less than ten miles away from his goal tonight, which was halfway up Hutou Mountain.
If he walked the rugged mountain road for a while, he would be able to reach the tiger's mouth.
Until then……
Gu Yuan looked at the two hares in his hands. It was too cold at night, so it would be a good idea to use these two hares to warm up.
Hutou Mountain is rarely visited all year round. It is estimated that no one will come until the annual promotion competition for inner disciples.
There are a lot of edible game in the mountains, and you can find something to fill your stomach just by looking for it.
Gu Yuan climbed the mountain and led the sheep.
The two hares were caught with almost no effort.
He had already decided that as soon as he reached the tiger's mouth, he would deal with the two hares.
One is roasted and eaten, and the other is cooked with edible fungi from the mountains and eaten.
Thinking about the delicious food he was about to eat tonight, Gu Yuan finally arrived at a place not far from the middle of Hutou Mountain within half an hour.
However, the situation halfway up the mountain was really beyond Gu Yuan's expectation.
Gu Yuan looked around for a while and saw seven or eight bonfires here.
Each campfire is not very far from each other. Beside each campfire, there are several people warming up and talking around the campfire.
These people probably knew each other. They were talking and laughing, and they didn't get into fights like the people Gu Yuan saw before.
So many people can live in peace in this place.
This made Gu Yuan very strange.
With doubts in his mind, Gu Yuan hesitated, not knowing whether he should get closer.
Although Gu Yuan knew before coming in that some people would form alliances in private, but seeing so many people forming alliances in private, it was obviously impossible.
So what exactly is going on?
Gu Yuan suddenly felt a little confused, as if he had entered the wrong set. As a modern person, he almost thought he had traveled through time!
…
Holding a bundle of firewood, Zhang Yi emerged from the woods beside the mountain path. When he looked up, he found a young man in a white robe standing at the bottom of the mountain path. He seemed to be confused by the bonfire that had gathered in front of him.
appearance.
"This fellow disciple, Zhang Yi, was collecting firewood in the forest. Seeing you standing here motionless, I had no choice but to disturb you."
"You want to cross Hutou Mountain from here, right?"
Zhang Yi coughed and came to Gu Yuan holding firewood.
He even raised the firewood in his hand slightly for Gu Yuan to look at, to show that he would not attack Gu Yuan.
Because of the limit on the number of people who can advance to the final level, in this secret realm, even if everyone does not make a big move as soon as they meet, they will still be careful to keep a certain distance from other people for safety reasons.
Some people already know each other before participating in the selection competition, and before entering Qianxiong Mountain, everyone will not break up with each other.
Zhang Yi's doing this actually means that he does not have any malicious intentions.
Gu Yuan reacted very quickly. When he heard the sound of coughing, he turned around suddenly and unconsciously made a starting gesture with his hands.
If Zhang Yi hadn't spoken in advance, Gu Yuan might have rushed up to attack Zhang Yi at this time.
Gu Yuan turned his head and relaxed when he saw Zhang Yi holding firewood with a smile on his face.
As for people from the same sect but from different sects, this really doesn't matter, it won't affect everyone's fighting for a while at all.
To be honest, Gu Yuan just doesn't understand this aspect of the mysterious realm. As soon as brothers and sisters from the same sect enter the secret realm, it will be like a life-or-death feud.
It’s like there’s another world in the secret realm!
Although Zhang Yi asked nonsense, Gu Yuan still nodded politely out of politeness.
The situation here is a bit complicated, and Gu Yuan needs someone to explain it clearly for him.
Otherwise, with so many people blocking here, he would not dare to rush over.
Now Zhang Yi, who is approaching with obvious goodwill, is obviously the person Gu Yuan needs.
Seeing Gu Yuan put down his hands, Zhang Yi slowly approached.
Gu Yuan stared at Zhang Yi and spoke slowly: "Yes, since I'm here, I definitely want to go there."
Zhang Yi shook his head and said to Gu Yuan:
"You can't get through it."
"Why?
What's going on up front?
Why are there so many people staying here?”
As Gu Yuan spoke, he pointed his chin in the direction of the seven or eight bonfires in front of him.
"They are just like you."
"No one can get through, that's why we stay here."
Hearing what Zhang Yi said, Gu Yuan couldn't help but frown.
"what is going on?
Is there a landslide ahead?”
This is the only reason Gu Yuan can think of.
Otherwise, why would so many people be stranded here?
"no."
Zhang Yi shook his head and denied Gu Yuan's guess.
But he didn't say why, but changed the topic.
He glanced at the two rabbits in Gu Yuan's hands and then extended his invitation.
"It's a long story. You probably haven't had time to have dinner yet, right?"
"My brother Zhang Heng and I are the only two people there."
"Why don't you come over and have something to eat together, and we'll chat while we eat.
Don’t worry, everyone is trapped here and no one can leave, we don’t mean any harm.”
After hearing what Zhang Yi said, Gu Yuan pondered for a moment, then nodded and agreed to Zhang Yi's invitation.
Anyway, he had two hares in his hand, so he wasn't freeloading.
Furthermore, Gu Yuan is impervious to poison, and he is not afraid of Zhang Yi poisoning him.
What's more, Hutou Mountain is the only way to Qianxiong Mountain.
Hukou is the only way on the map to cross Hutou Mountain.
He had to figure out what happened ahead that caused so many people to be stranded here and unable to pass.
Carrying two rabbits, he followed Zhang Yi to a bonfire.
A young man wearing a green shirt and his hair simply tied back with a yellow scarf stood up.
"Why have you been gone for so long?"
The boy who spoke looked very similar to Zhang Yi, and he should be the younger brother Zhang Heng mentioned by Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi bent down and put down the firewood in his arms, and then Zhang Heng noticed Gu Yuan following Zhang Yi.
"Brother, this is..."
After hearing Zhang Heng's inquiry, Zhang Yi stood up and turned to the side, completely revealing Gu Yuan behind him.
"This person also wants to cross Hutou Mountain, his name is..."
At this point, Zhang Yi remembered that he still didn't know Gu Yuan's name.
"I haven't asked you what to call me yet?"
"Gu Yuan."
Gu Yuan simply announced his name, then took the initiative to lift the two hares aside and slaughter them.
