Chapter 172: Yanhuan Mountain Stone Boundary Monument (two in one)
"What on earth is this? Are you really not here to die?"
"It's really terrifying! I killed four first-level soul beasts easily, and then was immediately chased by a second-level soul beast. I haven't eaten for a day. Is this how people live?"
"First there is a group of soul beasts, then there is a ten-meter-high waterfall, and finally there is a second-level soul beast. Do you want anyone left alive?"
"The route out of the city gate is really difficult. I should have chosen another route!"
"Now I have only walked more than a hundred miles, and I am already a little overwhelmed. How can I finish walking three hundred miles round trip?"
…
On the fourth day of the outing at Meteorite University, most of the students on the three city gate routes were "complaining."
Not to mention that there were second-level soul beasts on the road, the terrain was becoming more and more complex. It was okay to just have land routes, but halfway through, I discovered that there were also water routes and even swamps!
This is not an outing, but an activity that is deliberately designed to mess with people’s mentality and make people’s state explode in all aspects!
Eighty percent of freshmen feel more or less stupid during their outing.
Moreover, according to the observations of these freshmen, there are many "roadblocks" on the outing road, which are all deliberately placed!
There are even road signs in some areas with the words "This is dangerous, please take a detour"!
It has reached this point, what else can it be if it is not man-made.
Gradually, these freshmen also understood that what was said to be an outing or military training was actually a "boost" from the school, which subdued and confused them.
However, most of the freshmen said that this outing was just to get people's mentality, but some freshmen said that this outing was not only relaxing, but also a little weird!
This part of me felt that the outing was a relaxing and strange new life, and they all chose South City Gate.
Within the two hundred miles of forest, some felt a lot of pressure, but others felt very relaxed and did not encounter any soul beasts along the way.
After walking through the forest, the freshmen who chose the South City Gate felt even more weird.
Stone thorn!
Pit!
frozen soil!
Initially, these things or places may seem like "problematic" things, but when you actually pass by or walk on them, they feel extremely relaxed.
Although those stone thorns were densely packed, they were not scary at all. After all, they all fell limply to the ground, without any attack ability at all.
The same goes for the pit. It was originally a very deep pit, but with those stone thorns and blizzard pavement, the deep pit was filled up, and finally it was like walking on flat ground.
The strange thing is that these places that should be obstacles are actually so easy to pass. It seems that for about 50 miles, I don't feel any pressure at all!
So these freshmen who chose South City Gate slowly came up with a guess, or a common idea after meeting each other.
Li Heng, who took the first step, and his team should have solved all the problems and difficulties along the way!
Not only these stone thorn pits, but also the second-level soul beasts in the forest!
"So... we should be considered... hugging classmate Li Heng's thigh in disguise?"
"Whatever, it's only three hundred miles anyway! It shouldn't be that far in the end, we just keep following!"
"Not to mention, it really feels like an outing! If you had given me a picnic cloth and a tent on the forest road before, I could have stayed there for fifteen days."
"Anyway, let's finish the three hundred miles round trip first before thinking about other things!"
So these freshmen who chose the South City Gate continued to walk slowly forward after passing through the stone thorn flowers and the huge pit.
At this time, Li Heng and his party, who also chose the South City Gate, looked at the scene in front of them and fell into deep thought.
A village!
Thatched houses and stone brick houses are intertwined with gravel paths. The aroma of wine is flowing. In addition to the aroma of wine, there are also bursts of smoke from cooking.
Bai Shasha and the other three people only fell into deep thought for a short time before turning their attention to Li Heng.
There was no way not to focus on Li Heng. After all, after coming out of the forest, Li Heng took the initiative to solve all the situations he encountered along the way, whether they were dense stone thorns or wide deep pits.
Except for Bai Shasha, who has always maintained a guilty mentality, the other two people can be said to be numb, and they came here purely because of their "big thighs", especially Jiang Hongtao, who has already begun to call666.
"Boss... this village... what do you think?" Jiang Hongtao thought for a long time, but could not come up with a reason. In addition, there was no village in the information he had collected before.
This should be the Xiaoshi Village recorded on the map of Liliang City, right? It seems that many places around Liliang City and Meteor University are... similar to each other.
Li Heng did not speak, but silently compared the scene in front of him with the information on the map, while also looking around at the surrounding situation.
As for the dense clusters of stone thorn flowers they had encountered before, they were all "cleaned up" by him and his ice phoenix birds.
In the end, a total of about 20,000 soul energy points were harvested. Although they were all first-level soul beasts, the victory was in quantity!
Originally, Li Heng was still wondering if there would be any problems if he cleaned up so many thorn flowers by himself, but after leaving the group of thorn flowers and seeing a very large pit, he figured it out.
At the same time, combined with the previous analysis of their team, it was clear that both the Stone Thorn Flower and the large pit were "roadblocks" set up by Meteor University for them.
After all, in 15 days, a three hundred-mile round trip, ordinary people only need to spend half of the time. If it is really smooth sailing and there are no twists and turns, then this time is meaningless, and even "military training" is meaningless.
Seriously, just treat outing as just fun.
A university that can start school early and is built directly in a secret realm cannot allow freshmen to come for an outing right after the semester starts.
Now that he knew that the school had done it deliberately, Li Heng felt no burden at all. Anyway, he had obtained the soul point, and there was no need to talk about the follow-up matters.
As for filling the holes, I flapped the wings of the ice luan bird, first filled them with stone-thorned flower corpses, and then filled them with falling snow and ice, so everything was solved and no physical energy was consumed.
Then after walking through the deep pit, the terrain and climate changed again, from hills to plains again, and the drizzle that had been floating in the sky also disappeared.
However, after the drizzle disappeared, the weather did not clear up. Instead, we encountered heavy fog.
When Li Heng encountered heavy fog, he immediately thought of the ice luan bird. The ice luan bird flaps its wings and uses the wind to blow away the thick fog.
After the thick fog dissipated, the four of them walked slowly, but halfway through, the thick fog that had dissipated came back up again.
None of the four people wanted to walk through the thick fog, so they asked the ice luan bird to flap its wings again. But this time, when the ice luan spread its wings and the thick fog cleared, a village appeared in front of them!
At this time, when he heard Jiang Hongtao ask about this village, Li Heng immediately thought of the "Xiaoshi Village" recorded on the map collected by Hong Yu and Mo Ya.
But it was impossible for him to tell the story about "Little Rock Village" directly, so he said it perfunctorily.
"I don't know what is going on in this village, but let's go and have a look. There is smoke... maybe the school is doing something wrong?"
Li Heng said it a little casually, and just like what she said, since there was smoke, there should be no problem. It was just in time to go and see what tricks Meteor University would come up with in this village.
But just when he was about to take a step forward, he felt the cuff of his right hand was suddenly pulled, and then turned his head and looked over.
I saw the flat-chested lolita holding a machete in her right hand and tugging on his sleeve with her left hand, her expression very solemn.
"Li Heng! Classmates Bao Yaoyao and Jiang Hongtao are missing."
!!!
Li Heng was originally a little confused about what the flat-chested lolita suddenly pulled him over, but when he heard Bai Shasha speak, he was suddenly shocked.
Two other teammates are missing!
What about the plot of "The Mist"?
I was still communicating a few seconds ago, but my mind wandered a little, I opened my mouth to answer, and then turned around and disappeared?!
Li Heng had thought before that it was Meteor University that was up to something, but he suddenly disappeared, which was hard to explain.
"Let's be careful!"
Kong Chan drew out his long sword immediately. Li Heng asked the flat-chested lolita to be careful, and touched the flying knife with his left hand.
The location they were in was relatively flat land, with a village smoking in the distance. This was supposed to be one of the more "humanistic" scenes they had seen in the past few days.
But at this time, it was because of the mysterious loss of contact between the two teammates that the atmosphere became extremely strange.
"Li Heng, would you like to go to the front and have a look?"
After Bai Shasha reminded Li Heng, she immediately let go of her hand, then held the scimitar in both hands and looked around carefully, but most of her attention was focused on the village in front.
Li Heng also stared at the smoke-filled village and did not give a reply for a long time.
After all, Bao Yaoyao and Jiang Hongtao disappeared suddenly, and they did not smell blood or hear any calls for help.
Li Heng guessed that the two of them had not suffered any serious injuries, but it was still strange that they suddenly disappeared.
It was unclear whether it was an "obstacle" created by Meteor University or whether he had really encountered some danger. Li Heng could only decide to take his time and explore.
Anyway, right now, he is holding two flying knives in his left hand, ready to fly Thunder God at any time, and just in case, he also has the last "line of defense".
Entering the two dungeons of God-level Wolf King Mountain or Guchen Continent, he can enter the dungeon to avoid the crisis that he really cannot solve!
Of course, unless absolutely necessary, he would not take the risk and enter the dungeon without it being closed.
Safety first!
"Well, let's go take a look! Make sure you're safe. If you encounter a crisis, run away immediately and don't worry about me!"
Neither of them knew what was going on right now, but as the flat-chested Lolita said, they had no choice but to go explore the village ahead and take a look.
The two men held weapons in their hands, and their nerves were tense, and they walked carefully towards the village directly ahead.
This scene is very similar to the scene when the two of them were exploring the secret realm of Wild Wolf Valley together, with each other on the left and right, keeping each other's eyes on alert.
This is……
Name: Yanhuan Mountain Stone Boundary Monument (remnant)
Category: Soul items
Value: Epic
effect:
1. Produce the illusion of smoke and rain.
2. In the illusion of mist and rain, there is no detailed definition of falsehood and reality. It varies from person to person and only to different realms. The soul master is not affected.
3. The boundary monument made of a mixture of mist, rain, and illusory rocks will automatically recover after the illusion is shattered.
4. If one of the three "Demon Sound Heart Sutra", "Hanshan Heart Sutra" and "Buddha Lotus Heart Sutra" is fully understood, you can take the initiative to destroy illusions.
5. The complete Stone Boundary Stele of Yanhuan Mountain is said to have originally belonged to the Hanshan Palace. Later, for unknown reasons, it was transferred to the owner of Zhouhua Mountain, one of the thirty-six mountain owners of Mozong Mountain. Finally, for unknown reasons, it was erected in Xiaoshan Palace.
Stone Village.
Before Li Heng and Bai Shasha had walked a few steps, Li Heng saw a stone tablet emerging from the ground not far away. There were words engraved on the stone tablet, but part of it was buried in the ground and could not be clearly seen.
But in the exposed part, Li Heng saw the words "Qing" and "Yu".
Although Li Heng was not sure what the word "Qingyu" meant, he was somewhat familiar with the subsequent names such as Mozong Mountain, Hanshan Palace, "Moyin Heart Sutra", and Zhou Hua.
Looking at these familiar names, Li Heng was stunned for a moment, and his mind kept flashing back to a series of things that happened during the four days he stayed in the copy of Guchen Continent.
The more he thought about it, the more Li Heng felt that the connection between this copy of Guchen Continent and the existing secret realm was a bit complicated.
He didn't think about many of these things in detail, because the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. The correlation was too strong and complicated!
"Li Heng! Li Heng! Are you okay? What's wrong?"
Just when Li Heng was staring at the stone boundary monument of Yanhuan Mountain and thinking in a daze, Bai Shasha saw that Li Heng suddenly stopped moving. She became a little anxious for a moment, and lightly poked the back of Li Heng's hand with the handle of her scimitar, and there was written on her face.
Full of anxiety.
"I'm fine! Let's go to the village first!"
Li Heng couldn't explain it to Bai Shasha, so he took her directly without saying anything else about the matter.
Bai Shasha, who was originally worried about Li Heng's condition, only regained her composure after seeing Li Heng come to his senses and communicating with her.
Although she didn't know what happened to Li Heng just now, Li Heng didn't say anything, and Bai Shasha didn't ask any more questions. She just glanced around and discovered the boundary monument at the same time.
"Li Heng! There seems to be a stone tablet there!"
After Bai Shasha discovered the Yanhuan Mountain stone boundary monument, she immediately informed Li Heng. Li Heng also nodded, pretending to have just discovered it, and walked over with the flat-chested Lolita.
Li Heng knew what this thing was, so he was not very curious, but as for what this boundary monument meant, his thoughts were racing: It seems that he must find a chance... to go to Guchen Continent again!
