The rain is still falling and shows no sign of letting up.
Chu Feng was walking alone on the mountain road, taking every step forward with caution. Because he did not bring rain gear, he was already soaked to the skin at this time. Coupled with the slippery mountain road, if he had not been strong, he would not have been able to survive at all.
It is difficult to move even an inch.
I found a protruding rock, stopped for a while, and meditated secretly.
The rain is too heavy. If you continue searching so blindly, you may not be able to gain anything for a while. Instead of doing this, it is better to take the risk of going down the mountain. Everyone's supplies are in the rock cave, and you can accurately obtain food, and even
There are also some urgently needed daily necessities.
However, under the heavy rain, the mountain road has become dangerous now, and I am afraid it will not be so easy to achieve the goal.
"Time is urgent and cannot be wasted here."
Chu Feng only hesitated for a moment and immediately made up his mind. Then he took steps and ran quickly down the mountain.
The night was dark, the rain was pattering, but there was no other sound.
However, at this moment, under the rock, an unknown dark light suddenly lit up, and a hazy figure slowly emerged.
"hehe--"
Looking at the dark mountain road ahead, the figure chuckled and disappeared in the next moment.
…
An hour?
Two hours?
On the mountain road, Chu Feng looked extremely solemn. He didn't know how long he had been traveling, but he never reached the bottom of the mountain.
Everything became a little weird. The mountain road that should have been very familiar suddenly became unfamiliar for some reason. Moreover, it seemed that there was no end, and the end point could not be reached.
Chu Feng stopped. At this time, he had clearly felt that he was afraid of falling into some kind of dilemma.
"What on earth is going on? Ghost hitting the wall?"
Chu Feng thought to himself that if he simply went down the mountain, he would definitely go lower and lower. Not to mention him, even a stranger would not be able to just wander around the mountainside.
Moreover, he was very familiar with Wolong Ridge, but he had never heard of such a strange thing.
The current situation is a bit unpredictable, and it is not advisable to act rashly. Thoughts are rushing in my mind, thinking about how to deal with it.
But at this moment, suddenly, a faint brilliance suddenly appeared in the line of sight. Although the brilliance was weak and flickered, it seemed particularly bright in the pitch-black night.
Chu Feng felt a chill in his heart. He observed carefully and found that the location where the brilliance shone was not far from where he was, only about a hundred meters away. He only hesitated for a moment before making a decision and strode towards the brilliance.
"This is……"
Only a short time passed before Chu Feng came closer. At this time, he had already seen everything clearly. In front of him was a cave on the mountain wall. He didn't know what was inside, but it was emitting strange brilliance all the time.
.
"Relics? Cave?"
Chu Feng thought in his mind, no matter how he looked at it, it was more consistent with this situation.
Speaking of which, when he was a child, he watched martial arts TV series and fantasized more than once that one day he would fall off a cliff like the heroes in them and find peerless magical skills and rare treasures.
Friends of the same age probably have the same thoughts, so they often meet up to play in Wolong Ridge. Unfortunately, fantasies are just fantasies and cannot be realized.
However, the cave in front of us broke all this. Could it be that the childhood dream has come true?
"No matter whether there is danger or not, we must always investigate."
Thinking of this, he stepped into it without any further hesitation.
After passing through a passage more than ten meters long, it suddenly opened up, and a wide cavern with a radius of several hundred meters came into view.
“What a relic!”
Chu Feng looked overjoyed. The place was very empty and there were not many arrangements. However, in the center there was a circular pool about ten meters in diameter. Judging from its appearance, it was obviously made by man.
The water pool was only the next best thing. What surprised him the most was that in the center of the water pool there was a square mudflat about half a foot in size. There was a dark green plant growing on it, with pink branches growing from the top downwards, like
A strange lantern-like fruit.
After careful counting, there were six fruits in total. The light bloomed in the night, illuminating the entire cave extremely brightly.
"Lingzhi?"
Chu Feng was naturally happy, but he couldn't believe that such a thing could be born in an environment with extremely thin spiritual energy like Earth Star?
Although I couldn't recognize the type of spiritual plant at the moment, the appearance in front of me was enough to prove that this thing was definitely not a mortal thing.
A few steps closer to the edge of the pool, Chu Feng knelt down and took a closer look. He saw that the pool was turquoise and bottomless.
He thought for a moment, this was not a good thing. The spiritual plant was growing in the center of the pool. In his current situation, it would be difficult to pick it without any tools.
Subconsciously, I picked up a stone and threw it into the pond. I heard a thud and a tiny splash of water.
"It seems we still need to find a way..."
Thinking of this, he immediately stood up. However, before he could take any action, he suddenly felt that the void in front of him suddenly shook rapidly and disappeared in a flash.
Chu Feng only felt his mind sink, as if he had been attacked by some kind, and his vision became blurred. However, this situation only lasted for a moment, and he recovered quickly.
"What just happened?"
He was puzzled and looked around. The caves, pools, and spiritual plants were all the same as before, without any change. It was as if what happened just now was just an illusion.
"It can't be an illusion."
Chu Feng shook his head slightly, but he couldn't tell what exactly was going on at the moment.
"Chu Feng——"
"Chu Feng——"
At this moment, a familiar shout suddenly came, waking him up instantly. After thinking about it for a moment, it seemed that it was Ai Yu's voice, and it was right outside the cave.
"Why did she come here?"
Chu Feng frowned and immediately walked out of the cave.
really,
When he arrived at the entrance of the cave, he spotted Ai Yu's figure at a glance. Then in the dim light at the entrance of the cave, he could see the miserable appearance of Ai Yu, who was completely soaked by the rain.
"Chu Feng, wuwu..."
Ai Yu also noticed his figure, and without any hesitation, she threw herself into his arms. She seemed a little excited, or maybe she was a little cold because her whole body was soaked. At this time, the other person's body was trembling non-stop, and his mouth was trembling from time to time.
sobbing softly.
Chu Feng raised his hand, intending to push the other person away, but when he saw his miserable appearance as he kept sobbing, he couldn't help but slowly withdraw it. For a while, he couldn't ask any questions.
"Come in first." Finally, he patted the other party's vest and reminded him. The latter nodded obediently and followed him towards the cave. However, his arms held his arms tightly, and he could not hold them for a moment.
Didn't let go.
Inside the cave, Chu Feng was busy and finally lit a fire. Fortunately, there was some dry firewood in the cave and he had a lighter with him, otherwise he would have been blinded.
"Tell me, what happened, and why did you come here?"
Beside the fire, Ai Yu squatted there, holding her arms tightly together, and did not speak for a long time. Hearing Chu Feng's question, he was still like this, and there was a faint hint of fear in his eyes, as if something terrible had happened.
.
Chu Feng's expression turned gloomy. The other party's appearance was indeed a bit unusual. There must have been something unexpected.
"Ai Yu—Ai Yu—"
The other party seemed to hear his voice, and slowly raised his head, looked at Chu Feng beside him, and without explaining, threw himself into the other party's arms again, sobbing.
"..."
Chu Feng was a little helpless. If you have anything to say, what's the point of crying all the time? However, seeing the fear and sadness of the other party, he couldn't forcefully interrupt.
It wasn't until a moment later that the other party finally slowed down and then whispered:
"Yes...I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. It's just..."
"You don't need to apologize. Tell me what happened. Did something happen?" Chu Feng patted the other party's vest and said again,
"Also, can you let go first?"
Both of them were soaked to the skin, and their clothes were uncomfortable clinging to their bodies. Hugging each other was not only awkward, but also uncomfortable.
"Oh" Ai Yu seemed to have just reacted, and then slowly released her arms around the other party's waist, her cheeks turning slightly red.
"Nothing happened. It's just that it was so dark and I couldn't find you, so I felt a little scared."
"I see."
Hearing such an answer, Chu Feng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Nothing happened. What he cared about most was his little sister's safety. As long as she was fine, he had nothing to worry about.
"Now you can tell me, why did a person come here?"
"We have been waiting for you for several hours, but you have not come back. We are really worried. After that, everyone gathered together and asked me to go out and look for you alone." Ai Yu said slowly, and then said,
"It's just that I didn't expect that I suddenly got lost after walking for a while and couldn't find the way back."
"You guys are too much nonsense."
Chu Feng was extremely speechless. It was so dark and it was raining heavily. In such an environment, he could not guarantee absolute safety. What could you do as a woman? Are you not asking for trouble?
He raised his wrist and looked at the time, then said:
"It's past four o'clock now, and it will be morning in more than an hour. There is a high possibility that the rain will stop. You can dry your clothes here first, and then we will leave together."
"Wait, I'm warming myself by the fire here, what about you?"
Chu Feng's clothes were also soaked, but he didn't care, and then waved his hand and said:
"I'm going out to do some errands. You can bake it yourself. Be careful not to burn yourself."
With that said, without waiting for the other party to ask, he stood up and walked out of the cave.
Ai Yu shook her lips and looked at the other person's disappeared figure, with a hint of anger in her bright eyes.
Turning his head to look at the water pool in the center of the cave, looking at the swaying pink spiritual plant, for some reason, he suddenly raised the corner of his mouth and laughed softly.
outside the cave
The heavy rain is still falling, and I don't know when it will subside.
Chu Feng didn't pay attention to this, and kept searching in the forest with a sharp dagger in his hand.
The trees in Wolong Ridge were cut down severely, and it only stopped in the past few years. Although a lot of trees have been restored on the mountainside, there are not many too tall trees, but there are a lot of small trees that have not grown up.
Perhaps it was because these trees were of little value that they were left alive, but now they are put to good use.
Chu Feng searched for a while and finally found several suitable target trees, all of which were more than five or six meters in length, which could meet his needs.
These small trees did not grow long and were only as thick as a child's arm. With the sharpness of a dagger, it only took a while to chop them down without any effort.
After removing the branches, Chu Feng nodded with satisfaction and then carried the small tree back to the way he came.
…
"ah……"
As soon as he entered the cave, he heard a scream.
Wherever he looked, Ai Yu was crouching beside the fire with his arms folded and his head still. However, only two narrow underwear remained on his body.
Chu Feng couldn't help but be surprised. If I asked you to warm yourself by the fire, you wouldn't need to take off your clothes so boldly. Can you do it one by one?
"What's there to be ashamed of? Don't tell me you never went to a swimming pool when you were in Eagle Country."
It has to be said that the other party has a very good figure. Even though he has been squatting, he cannot hide his attractive curves at all.
Chu Feng only glanced at it and then looked away. He didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, the other party grew up abroad and his ideas should be much more open. He was only wearing underwear, so it was no big deal.
"That... that's different." Ai Yu seemed to have come back to her senses, then raised her head and whispered back.
"What's the difference? It's just a matter of mentality. As long as you don't have distracting thoughts, what's the impact?"
Chu Feng smiled and did not approach the fire. Instead, he carried the small tree and walked towards the pond.
"No distracting thoughts?" Ai Yu murmured in a low voice, her expression could not help but change slightly, and she seemed a little unconvinced, thinking secretly,
"Can your heart really be as calm as water without any distracting thoughts?"
Thinking of this, she suddenly stood up, put on the single clothes that had not been completely dried, and slowly came closer.
"Um?"
Suddenly, a faint fragrance floated in, lingering on the tip of his nose for a long time. Chu Feng subconsciously looked up and instantly saw Ai Yu's figure.
At this time, the other party only wore a single piece of clothing, which was tightly attached to her body because it was not dry yet. Her lower abdomen was smooth and white, her legs were straight and slender, and her exquisite curves were not blocked at all, revealing endless temptation.
"Bang bang——"
At this moment, he couldn't control his emotions, and there was a faint restlessness deep in his heart.
Chu Feng's heart trembled. He was sure that he had no thoughts about Ai Yu, or that he had not thought about accepting any woman at the moment. But, at this moment, why did he have such a feeling?
Beautiful? Indeed, Ai Yu is very beautiful, but that's all. He has seen too many women who are more beautiful than her, so how can he be moved just because of this?
"Are you planning to pick that spiritual plant?" Ai Yu didn't seem to notice anything strange about the other party, and asked looking at the small tree in his hand.
"Heaven and God will take the blame. Now that we have met, we can't let it go." Chu Feng suppressed his surging heart and nodded.
He kept moving his hands, tearing off several strips of cloth from his clothes and twisting them into simple ropes and fixing them at the top of the small tree. After some more fiddling, he finally formed a looper, and then he smiled with satisfaction.
"Aren't you cold? Why don't you go back quickly?" He asked seemingly unintentionally and did not look back.
"I...I'm a little bored and want to watch you pick spiritual plants."
"What's so good about this? It'll be over soon."
Chu Feng shook his head slightly, but did not force the other party to leave. At this time, his entire mind was placed on the pink spiritual plant in the center of the pool. As long as he could collect it and find out its medicinal properties, it would be of great help to his cultivation.
Help.
Without any further hesitation, he raised the small tree with both hands and slowly explored towards the center of the pool.
