The closer you get to the Xixue Plateau, the harder it is to walk, with mountains and ridges emerging one after another, and the weather is getting colder and colder.
Chen Taizhong had experienced the Ziwu yin and yang tide, so he didn't mind the cold, but Yu Haihe couldn't stand it - after all, he was a little wandering immortal, so he was still a little bit worse.
When entering the plateau, the small team of four encountered a little trouble. Like the Hengduan Mountains, this place was surrounded by various families and forces on the side close to Zhongzhou.
So someone intercepted and said whose territory this was, then Chen Taizhong and Lao Yi rose into the air, showing off their immortal cultivation. Chen Taizhong even directly struck with his spiritual consciousness, knocking out those who stood in the way. The four of them
He rushed in directly.
After walking for a while, Chen Taizhong asked, "Whose family did you block the road just now?"
He is too lazy to remember the names of those insignificant people now - all the gods are just ants, and he has already stood at the top of the wind and yellow world. Among ten thousand people, he can't pick one out.
Lao Yi shook her shoulders and remained silent. She did not remember these little people who had been crushed.
On the other hand, Yu Haihe smiled and replied, "It seems his surname is Tian."
"Oh," Chen Taizhong nodded and asked casually, "Let's go quickly. It feels like it's more difficult to walk here than the Hengduan Mountains."
The Xixue Plateau is indeed more difficult to walk than the Hengduan Mountains. There is less vegetation, but there are too many mountains and there are no roads.
It doesn't matter if there are no roads, there are no roads in the Hengduan Mountains, but not only are there no roads here, but also because there is no vegetation, the water and soil of the mountains cannot be grasped, and the rocks have been weathered over time. Landslides have occurred frequently, making it extremely dangerous.
This was already bad, but what was even worse was that when climbing these mountains, the weather started to get cold without even realizing it. Since it is called a plateau, it is normal for the location to rise a little bit.
After walking for another two days, the Peng tribe began to appear in the sky. There is no need to recognize this race. The large birds with a wingspan of more than ten meters are usually from the Peng tribe. They soar in the sky very flamboyantly.
At this time, Lao Yi also showed considerable vigilance, "Let's go on the road at night. In another two days, the Mammoths should be here."
I don't know how she got in touch with him, but early in the morning on the third day, a bear-headed man appeared not far from the camp.
Because it was blocked by the phantom array, it looked around cautiously, twitching its nose from time to time and sniffing the air.
Chen Taizhong glanced at Lao Yi: Orc or beast cultivator?
Lao Yi remained silent until the Xiong Xiu made a strange gesture. She walked out of the illusion formation, "From the Mammoth Clan?"
When Xiong Xiu saw a man in a bamboo hat suddenly appear, he took two steps back cautiously. Then he grunted, "A descendant of the Great Master?"
Lao Yi took out his identity card and waved it, and that was the answer.
On the next journey, not only the four of them were careful, but Xiong Xiu was also very careful, just like the ape tribe and the fox tribe had a bad relationship. The relationship between the mammoth tribe and the Peng tribe was also not harmonious, and it acted as a spy for the mammoth tribe that secretly crossed the border.
It's best not to be discovered.
Xiong Xiu didn't talk much. He usually expressed his words through body language, and he didn't ask for random gossip. He kept a respectful distance, which was exactly what Chen Taizhong and others wanted.
He stayed up day and night and walked all the way for more than a month. After crossing a river valley, Xiong Xiu finally let out a loud roar, "I finally came back safely. I was suffocated to death."
Not only was he aggrieved, Chen Taizhong and others were also aggrieved. There was little vegetation on the plateau, and the wind and sand were extremely strong. It was not easy to hide. It was also bitingly cold when traveling at night. When they encountered potential dangers, they did not dare to use spiritual energy to protect them.
body to avoid exposing your whereabouts.
Even so, there were several times when they were almost discovered by the Peng tribe. Another time when everyone was hiding from the wind under a cliff, rocks fell and Old Wu was seriously injured.
After arriving in the territory of the Mammoth Tribe, everyone basically looked like a beggar.
"Finally, we can put things in order," Lao Yi also let out a sigh of relief. Even though she was a beast cultivator, she couldn't bear to sleep in the open and travel like this.
Xiong Xiu's shout quickly summoned a mammoth. This guy was still in the spiritual beast stage and had not yet developed a human form. Its long nose curled up Xiong Xiu's jade plaque and looked at it for a while before asking again.
After a few words, he let them go.
Arriving at the territory of the Mammoth Clan, everyone relaxed. Yu Haihe was very curious, "Uncle Yi, the Peng Clan won't cross the border and chase them, right? I think the defense here is very loose."
Before Lao Yi could say anything, Xiong Xiu snorted, "How dare they! It's okay to cross the border secretly. If they dare to cross the border and hunt down, as long as we can hold on, they will suffer a lot... Do you think we can hold on?"
?”
Through this month of getting along day and night, it already knows that there are three human races on the other side, but since they were brought in by the descendants of the Demon King, it is not qualified to interfere.
But since Yu Haihe was young and had a naive mentality, it was more pleasing to his eyes.
Lao Yi changed his clothes. Although it was not so beautiful and luxurious, at least it looked normal. "How far is it from getting out of the plateau?"
"If we leave like we did a while ago, it will take more than two months," Xiong Xiu replied calmly, "Humans are prohibited from flying here. If you want to fly, you have to get the Mammoth King's nod."
The rules of the Xixue Plateau are the same as those of the Hengduan Mountains: humans are not allowed to fly.
"The Mammoth King will not nod," Lao Yi knew this very well. She glanced at Chen Taizhong and said, "It can acquiesce to your flight, but it will never admit it. This precedent cannot be set."
"Understood," Chen Taizhong nodded. He didn't think it was a pity not to be able to fly. It was just two months of walking. What's so big about it?
Yu Haihe, on the other hand, was a little confused, "Uncle Yi, wouldn't it be enough if it acquiesces?"
"It works," Lao Yi smiled, "If other big demons deliberately seek trouble, the Demon King will not be able to step in."
"Why are you deliberately causing trouble for us?" Yu Haihe was young after all, so he didn't quite understand what he said.
"Because..." Lao Yi thought about it and felt that it was difficult to explain, so he simply answered directly, "If it were in the Hengduan Mountains, there would definitely be no big demon to cause trouble, but Uncle Yi has no familiar friends in the Xixue Plateau."
Just chatting and moving forward, the plateau area controlled by the Mammoth Clan is colder than that controlled by the Peng Clan, but everyone has changed to traveling during the day and resting at night.
Moreover, when resting, you can also light fires and set up various spiritual formations, so no one will feel the cold.
After walking for almost a month, Xiong Xiu said that it had been away from home for a long time. If you want to go back and have a look, you should walk first. I will chase you quickly when the time comes - it can fly.
Of course Lao Yi would agree. Once you come to Mammoth's territory, basically nothing will happen.
In the following time, the four of us walked and played. Basically, it was regarded as a trip. There were very few vegetation in the Xixue Plateau, and there were no exquisite scenery, but many of the scenery were extremely grand and spectacular.
Because the environment is relatively harsh, there are not many animal cultivators here.
On this day, four people were walking against the wind and passed by a small stream. The water in the stream was crystal clear. There were also countless icebergs colliding in the stream, making a tinkling sound.
Yu Haihe jumped up when he saw it, "Ha. Uncle Chen, let's just rest here?"
"We've walked less than thirty miles in total, and you need to rest?" Chen Taizhong snorted, but such a clear stream was really refreshing, and walking against the wind was a bit strenuous. So he decided, "You can make lunch today.
.”
Yu Haihe cheered. He took out things like tables and chairs from his storage bag, turned over another pot, and rushed to the stream to fetch water.
"Wait a minute!" Lao Yi shouted sharply, then twitched his nose desperately and sniffed twice, "Don't go to the water yet."
The wind on the plateau was very strong, and her voice was not high, but she could barely be heard.
Seeing her like this, Chen Taizhong immediately tensed up his nerves.
Lao Yi quickly came to the stream, picked up a bottle of stream water and sniffed it, paused for a while, turned to look at Chen Taizhong, pointed towards the upper reaches of the stream, "Feel it, is there any murderous aura there?"
The two of them have been working together for a long time, and they already understand each other's strengths.
"Murderous aura?" Chen Taizhong frowned and felt it. After a long time, he shook his head and said, "I don't feel it."
"There is the smell of blood in the water," Lao Yi said in a deep voice, "The aura is relatively strong. It is the blood of animal cultivators, not the blood of spiritual beasts."
"Your nose... is not an ordinary one," Chen Taizhong really convinced her, "What should we do?"
"I'll go take a look," Lao Yi replied simply. "It's not far from our place and it could affect us at any time."
The stream flows out from behind a small hill. The hill is only five or six miles away from us. To put it bluntly, it's really not that far away.
"How about we go together," Chen Taizhong hesitated before speaking.
"What should I do if I am younger than them?" Lao Yi glanced at the old and young people.
"I'll make a magic array for them," Chen Taizhong replied casually while looking around. However, the next moment, he chuckled, "It seems... you don't need to go either."
Just as they were speaking, two wolf-headed men turned around from the hill. When they saw the four of them, they were first startled, and then let out a loud roar.
Chen Taizhong frowned, "Is this a beast cultivator or a beastman?"
It's really not easy for him to distinguish between the two, even if he is using spiritual vision.
If it was a beast cultivator, it would be hard for him to start. After all, he was in the territory of the beast tribe now, but if it was an orc...how could the orc dare to come to this place?
"Orcs who have crossed the line," Lao Yi gave the answer directly, and his voice became colder, "Would you choose the one on the left or the one on the right?"
"I choose..." Chen Taizhong pondered for a moment, then jumped forward suddenly, "The middle one!"
He didn't choose either of the two options. Instead, he rushed directly to the sky on the other side of the stream, towards an empty place, and slashed down with his sword. "Trying to be invisible with me? You're not even close!"
There was a loud bang, and a wolf-headed man appeared out of thin air. He threw out the two daggers in his hands, turned around and ran away.
But no matter how fast it is, how can it be faster than Chen Taizhong's sword intention without turning back?
One of the two daggers missed, and the other was swept away by Chen Taizhong. The next moment, its body was cut diagonally into two sections!
