The palm-sized rat meat is roasted to a golden color and filled with fragrant aroma.
Lu Chen handed the thing over: "It's cooked, take a bite!"
Looking at the disgusting barbecue, Zhao Zhenxian was so frightened that she took three steps back, fearing to avoid it: "How dare you, take it away quickly, I won't eat this!"
"This place is shrouded in gray fog and inaccessible. Even the sun can't shine in. There is probably no grass growing outside. It's hard to find food. Do you really not want to eat?" Lu Chen raised his eyebrows at the other party. This woman is really picky. This fog
There are no villages in front of the mountains or shops in the back. Where can I find food? No matter what the situation is, you can't starve to death if you pick and choose.
Zhao Zhenxian waved her hands: "Don't eat it, don't eat it!" Your Majesty, the Feng King, would never eat this disgusting food even if he was killed.
"Well, forget it if you don't want to eat it. This rat meat is just enough for one person. Don't be hungry then!" Lu Chen smiled helplessly, grabbed the roasted rat meat and started to bite it with relish.
It tastes so delicious.
Zhao Zhenxian felt goosebumps all over her body.
What is her status as the Phoenix King? She is a direct bloodline of the Great Zhao Dynasty and has a noble status. Eating rat meat is something only lowly common people eat. Even if she starves to death, it is absolutely impossible for her to eat it.
"Are you feeling better?"
After Lu Chen finished eating the rat meat, he wiped it with his clothes and said slowly: "Not yet, give me two days, do you have anything?"
"This place is so weird. I always feel like something is wrong!" Zhao Zhenxian looked around. It was quiet. There were no birds or animals. Except for the two of them, there was no living thing.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
Lu Chen said in a serious tone: "This foggy mountain has been mysterious for a long time. We want to get out, but I'm afraid it won't be easy. Where is your bird monster?"
"I don't know. After falling with us, there was no trace!" Zhao Zhenxian shook her head. Without the birds and monsters around, it would be even harder to get out.
Lu Chen said calmly: "Just wait for me for two days to recover from the injury. Then go outside and take a look. We won't be suffocated to death by a splash of urine!"
"A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory!" Zhao Zhenxian rolled her eyes at him.
Lu Chen raised his head and asked, "How much do you know about Wushan!"
Hearing this, Zhao Zhenxian lowered her head and muttered for half her salary, with a somewhat ugly look on her face as she said, "Wushan is very mysterious, and there are many rumors about it in the land of Kyushu!"
"The Wushan Mountain is not only mysterious, it is also known as the most forbidden place in Kyushu. No matter who enters here, very few people make it out alive. Even if someone does go out, they become delirious and crazy!"
"Many warriors came here to explore before. Unfortunately, after entering this foggy mountain, they disappeared mysteriously and there was no news!"
"Wisty Mountain is shrouded in clouds and fog all year round and has persisted for thousands of years. Therefore, few people know the true situation inside. Legend has it that there are ghosts and monsters here that can devour human flesh and blood. Therefore, the common people are becoming more and more afraid of Wushan Mountain and talk about it in a pale tone!"
"From now on, very few people set foot here!"
Lu Chen dismissed it: "It's just sensational and lies. There are no ghosts in this world!"
"It's better to believe that it exists than to believe that it doesn't exist!" Zhao Zhenxian said: "Since there are such rumors, it proves that there must be something weird here. We'd better be careful!"
Be careful when sailing the boat of ten thousand years. Many top experts capsize in the gutter just because they are too confident in themselves.
Lu Chen glanced around, his eyes flashing with a strange look. There was a vast fog ahead, and the visibility was less than a foot. Even if there was any movement, he probably wouldn't be able to detect it at all. The mystery of this foggy mountain is indeed worthy of its name.
"Excuse me, how much do you know about this place?" Lu Chen asked back.
Zhao Zhenxian sighed softly: "Actually, Wushan is not as mysterious as the world imagines, but few people understand it. Thousands of years ago, there was no fog around Wushan!"
"What does a foggy mountain look like without fog?" Lu Chen asked curiously.
Zhao Zhenxian said slowly: "It is a city, a very luxurious city!"
"What!" Lu Chen couldn't help being stunned when he heard this. He suddenly remembered that when the two fell from the sky, he vaguely saw a magnificent town crawling on the ground. Could it be that that city was what Zhao Zhenxian was talking about!
Zhao Zhenxian nodded: "Yes, because this place is not actually called Wushan. It was called Bauhinia City a long time ago!"
"Bauhinia City?" The curiosity in Lu Chen's eyes became more and more intense.
Zhao Zhenxian looked solemnly and said: "Yes, this Bauhinia City was originally the imperial capital of the Jin Kingdom during the dynasty. Because of a disastrous war that year, the country was destroyed and the people were displaced. The war burned for three days and three days.
That night, the entire city was destroyed!"
"How could this happen?" Lu Chen said in surprise.
Zhao Zhenxian seemed to have a clearer understanding of the affairs of the dynasty, so she said: "No dynasty will prosper or decline for a long time. The Jin Dynasty has been established for seven hundred years, which is considered a long history. After the Jin Dynasty was destroyed,
, a strange heavy fog flooded this place, and the foggy mountain became what it is today!”
"I don't know exactly what happened back then!"
Lu Chen said solemnly: "I see, I didn't expect that this foggy mountain would hide so many secrets before it appeared again!"
"It's not a secret. After the Jin Kingdom was destroyed, all the people in Bauhinia City were brutally massacred, with countless casualties and corpses scattered everywhere. The few remaining people scattered across the continent in order to avoid the war, and became anonymous. They no longer talked about the events of that year.
Tragedy. After thousands of years, many people must have forgotten it!" There was a trace of sadness in Zhao Zhenxian's eyes.
Lu Chen said: "Perhaps, if we want to go out, we have to go to that city to see if there may be any clues!"
"You should recover from your injuries first before we talk!" Zhao Zhenxian said.
Lu Chen has been recuperating for the next two days. Unfortunately, without the assistance of the essence of the sun and moon, the effect of the 'Dragon Python Swallowing Yuan Jue' is not so obvious.
Fortunately, his physique is extraordinary, and he can recover 70% to 80% of his injuries as long as he rests for half a month.
Moreover, it is very quiet here. There is no harassment from other people. I have avoided the pursuit of Juque, and I feel much more relaxed physically and mentally.
After vigorously correcting his fractured left leg, he could barely stand up and walk around.
In the past two days, he had been resting at the farmer's house, while Zhao Zhenxian went outside to check the situation, but still did not bring back anything to eat.
Fortunately, Lu Chen caught another wild mouse that was chewing on tree roots. After roasting and eating it, he managed to regain some strength.
However, Zhao Zhenxian swollen her face to look fat and refused to eat the rat meat. Maybe she hadn't eaten for several days, and her beautiful face was quite haggard.
If he continues to be hungry like this, he will probably be so hungry that he will be reduced to skin and bones and die from exhaustion.
After all, the innately powerful are only mortal bodies, and at this level they cannot reach the point where they cannot live without food. They may be able to rely on their innate true energy to sustain them for about half a month, but if they exceed their endurance limit, they will still starve to death.
On the third day, Lu Chen weakly walked out of the farmer's house and walked outside.
"Come on, let's go outside and take a look!"
Zhao Zhenxian walked beside her and frowned: "Is this okay with you?"
"No problem, won't you be there when I encounter danger?" Lu Chen said with a smile.
Zhao Zhenxian snorted: "I will not care about you!"
"You don't look like that kind of heartless woman!" Lu Chen said with a smile.
Zhao Zhenxian said coldly: "We'll see!"
The two of them walked out of the farmhouse together and walked together into the depths of the fog. The gray fog floated up and down in the sky, condensing but not dissipating.
The dry and hard ground was a strange brown-black color, it was completely bare, with no grass growing, no birds and animals left, and the surrounding area was quiet and lifeless at all.
The sky is cloudy and gloomy, and the sun cannot be seen. It is difficult to distinguish between east, west, north and south here, and no sunlight from the outside comes in. The depressing atmosphere makes people feel particularly permeable.
If it weren't for the footsteps of the two of them stepping on the stones, I would have thought that this place was in the underworld.
"This place is isolated from the world and has not changed for thousands of years. I didn't expect it to be like this!" Lu Chen couldn't help but sigh.
Zhao Zhenxian next to her suddenly said: "Lu Chen, there's something going on here!"
"What's going on?" Lu Chen was startled and walked over quickly.
When I came to Zhao Zhenxian, I followed the sound and saw a mummy on the ground, with his hands covering his head. The death state looked quite painful and very strange.
"This corpse must have been dead for many years, and the flesh and blood on its body have dried!" Lu Chen knelt down and took a closer look.
Zhao Zhenxian said: "It should be those warriors who enter the Wushan Mountains to hunt for treasures!"
"There's more ahead!" Lu Chen seemed to have discovered something and couldn't help but raise his head and look ahead.
I saw that the ground was covered with all kinds of corpses, scattered and scattered everywhere. There were at least forty or fifty of them. Each one died in the same way as the first mummy.
"What happened to these people after they came to Wushan? Their deaths were so weird!" It was not like Lu Chen had never seen dead people before, but seeing this scene for the first time, he couldn't help but feel doubts in his heart.
Zhao Zhenxian lowered her head and thought deeply, looking around, her heart full of vigilance.
"Be careful, there's something weird here!" Lu Chen warned and continued walking forward.
Unknown things are always scary. Even Lu Chen and Zhao Zhenxian, two talented and brave people, can't help but be wary of this place.
"Roar!"
At this moment, a shocking roar of a beast suddenly sounded from the depths of the mist and spread far away. The roar was like a thunderous roar, deafening and rumbling.
The whole ground shook slightly, as if something big had happened.
"That's where the roar of the monster beast comes from!" Lu Chenyuan looked ahead and said solemnly.
Zhao Zhenxian looked coldly: "This place is really unusual!"
"Let's go, let's follow the source of the sound!" Lu Chen, holding a Xuanqing heavy sword, led Zhao Zhenxian deeper into the fog.
After walking about two hundred feet, the huge outline of a city vaguely emerged in the thick fog.
