There was another near miss, everyone escaped safely, but one person still died. This man was considered a courageous person. It was a pity to die like this, but now is not the time to grieve, and we still have to go on the road.
"Taoist Master Liao died last night, but we were not around. I wonder where his soul went. Did it go to the underworld? Or was it taken away by the local mountain god?" A Taoist asked in a low voice while walking on the road.
Lao Bai walked beside him, shook his head and sighed, "No matter where he goes, it's destiny. Even if we get his soul, we can't resurrect him. It's better to take his ashes and give them to his family when we go back, which can be regarded as a gift."
I have some explanations.”
"Amitabha, these words of Master Bai are of great kindness..."
The road to the back mountain is much more difficult than the front mountain. There are no roads in many places, and they are all cliffs. There is also a section of swampland. If they hadn't seen the bones of wild beasts next to them, Xiao Yu and the others would probably have walked in.
In addition to the swamps, the rest are those annoying mosquitoes. For some reason, there are so many mosquitoes in the back mountains, and the mosquitoes are very big. They follow people around all day long, biting them from time to time, making it difficult for people to guard against them.
When he came to the back mountain, Xiao Yu found a deserted place and put a few bear paws into the ancient jade to prevent it from breaking. After putting some food in, the ghost general uncle somehow managed to make a puddle in the corner.
, and there are also several ice rocks, I don’t know how they were formed.
There is not much food in the mountains, but there are a lot of honeycombs. Xiao Yu and the others once took the wrong path and walked randomly to the edge of a cliff, where they found many honeycombs. So after everyone used talisman fire to drive away the bees, the honey
It has become something that everyone flocks to every day to satisfy their hunger.
In addition to honey, there are also some wild fruits and wild vegetables in the mountains, which have become everyone's main food. During this period, Xiao Yu also secretly took out some food from the ancient jade and gave it to Lao Bai and the others. Although they didn't know where it came from, they were very familiar with it.
The mysterious Xiao Yu didn't ask any questions, so in the entire team, only Xiao Yu and other Maoshan disciples had the best life.
However, along the way, Xiao Yu saw very few spiritual creatures. Just the leopards and wild boars he saw at the beginning, those things in the back seemed to have disappeared and never appeared again.
There is also a rat demon. Xiao Yu did not expect that thing to follow him into the back mountain. It was Xiao Yu who discovered the other party during a hunting trip. It was a yellow rat and should have been cultivated for a hundred years. The other party was
After Xiao Yu found out, he turned into the mud and never appeared again.
After tossing and turning, another half month has passed. Everyone has lost weight, but their energy and energy seem to be much better. This should be related to the abundant spiritual energy in the mountain.
That afternoon, Xiao Yu and others passed through a canyon and dug their way through thorns for three or four hours. Finally, they arrived at a basin at noon. There was a large lake in the basin, surrounded by grassland.
The grass seemed to have been trimmed by someone, with no height difference, and the lake water was also exceptionally clear. There was a small platform in the middle of the lake, with no grass or any plants on it.
"Finally I saw the lake. Can you take a bath first? I'm so tired."
Xiao Yu looked at the lake in front of him, his eyes shining as if he was seeing a beautiful woman.
It's not just him who thinks this way, everyone who is leaving has the same thought. After a month, no one has taken a shower or changed clothes. It can be said that now they go out, they are no different from savages. The clothes of the ghost corpse are still white.
It was sewn with bearskin, because every time the enemy hunted, his clothes would be torn, so he had no choice but to sew animal skin clothes.
Xiao Yu looked like he had lost his appearance, his beard had grown to two inches long, and he was completely dark from his temples to his chin. Compared with before, he had grown from a young boy to an adult man. Even his two little ghosts felt a little agitated when they saw him.
Can't recognize it.
"Damn, I brought a lot of food. I didn't bring a razor. If I use this dagger to shave, I'm afraid I'll cut off my chin with one knife." Xiao Yu sat on the ground and said depressedly.
Not only Xiao Yu, but also Mu Liutian, Zhou Jun and others were all the same. Even if someone brought a razor, they would take turns using it at the beginning, and in the end they could no longer use it when the battery ran out.
"It's so beautiful, is this a grassland...".
"I have to stay here for a few days, have a few good meals and take a bath, otherwise I will be sorry for such a big lake."
A group of people sat on the grass and sighed, and then some people rushed towards the lake, as if they were preparing to clean up.
"Look at those fools. This lake is so quiet. I don't know what's in it. If you dare to continue like this, aren't you looking for death?" Mu Liutian joked while lying next to Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu also smiled and suddenly turned over and sat up. The two looked at each other and shouted in the distance, "Come back quickly, be careful there is something in the water."
But no one paid attention to their calls. Several girls were already standing by the lake, watering each other and starting to fight.
Below the lake, a yellow anaconda as thick as an adult's thigh was slowly swimming out from the bottom of the water. The anaconda was more than twenty meters long and was hidden among the water plants. As he swam, the lake gradually became rippled.
"Come back quickly, don't you risk your life?" Mu Liutian rushed to the distance of the lake and shouted.
"You don't want to die, you're crazy."
The short-haired girls who had an affair with Mu Liutian before saw Mu Liutian calling them, and immediately stood there with their hands on their hips and cursed.
Behind the two girls, the yellow python gradually floated up. Because the water at the edge of the lake was very shallow, it could no longer hide its figure, so the yellow python could only swim to the surface of the water.
The dozens of meters long body of the yellow python instantly attracted the attention of everyone on the shore. However, because the two girls were washing their hair with their backs to the lake, they did not see the huge head above their heads, which was getting closer and closer to them.
.
"Hiss...".
The anaconda seemed to be teasing the two of them, and deliberately made a little noise. The two women looked back unconsciously, and immediately threw themselves into the water in fright. At this moment, the yellow python opened its bloody mouth and turned toward
One woman swallowed it in one gulp.
At this critical moment, only "bang...bang..." was heard, and the yellow python's arched body retracted into the water again. For a moment, the lake water rolled and stirred up thousands of waves.
Looking at the disappearing yellow python, everyone swallowed, and then looked at the shooter. The shooter was the professor of the archaeological team. The shooter held a black pistol in his hand and looked at the lake with a gloomy expression.
.
Xiao Yu looked at the other person and his expression became condensed. This man didn't take out his pistol to rescue the Taoist priests when they were in danger. Now that the students were in danger, he took it out. He obviously didn't take these Taoist priests seriously.
Such people are indeed afraid, and it can be regarded as a reminder to Xiao Yu that he should be more careful with others, lest he accidentally eat peanuts that day.
The professor quickly put away the gun and shouted, "Are you crazy if you don't come back?"
The two girls were obviously frightened and sat in the water without making any movement. When they heard the shouts from the shore, they immediately ran to the shore.
But at this moment, the lake water started rolling again. The yellow python that had just escaped flew out, bit the woman who was about to go ashore, and then quickly dragged her into the water. Then the waves in the lake rolled, and the woman didn't even scream.
As soon as the news came out, the lake water had turned blood red.
