In the dense jungle, Shen Chen and the others were on their way in a dusty way.
The vastness of the Bahuang Mountains far exceeded Shen Chen's previous imagination. After entering the depths of the mountains, even if he climbed a towering tree, he had a sense of sight with no end in sight.
This made Shen Chen somewhat anxious. The Bahuang Mountains were so big that it was really difficult to search for a team of people in such dizzying mountains and old forests. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
But as time goes by, the ominous premonition in his heart becomes more and more intense. Shen Chen has been thinking about a series of things that happened before. The more he thinks about it, the more he feels something is wrong. It always feels like something is about to happen. .
Along the way, Wei Hao and others had clearly noticed the young man's impatience, which was somewhat contradictory to the young man's aggressive and decisive nature. It seemed that the princess, whose identity and talent were unparalleled, was particularly important in the young man's heart. , has invisibly affected the young man's thoughts.
"Brother Shen, you don't need to worry too much. With Her Highness the Princess's supreme talent, there shouldn't be any danger..." Wei Hao didn't know what to say, so he could only comfort her like this.
"Well, I hope so." Shen Chen nodded lightly, obviously a little absent-minded.
After a long time, Wei Hao paused and suddenly thought of something, a joyful look appeared in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Shen Chen noticed something, stopped walking, looked at the former and asked.
"I seem to have a rough map of the Bahuang Mountains. My father spent a lot of money to get it for me. I almost forgot about it!" Wei Hao said happily, then flipped his wrist and took out a map from the Qiankun bag. A mottled animal skin map.
"Oh? Open it quickly and take a look!" Shen Chen's eyes narrowed, and a hint of joy appeared between his brows.
The terrain of the Bahuang Mountains is complex, with towering ancient trees towering into the sky, blocking the rays of sight. It is extremely easy to get lost in it. If you have a map, it will undoubtedly be very convenient while traveling.
"Um!"
Wei Hao had no ink marks, so he directly took out the animal skin map and spread it on the ground. Then, he squatted down and began to study it extremely carefully.
After a moment, Wei Hao's eyes showed deep joy and he exclaimed: "Found it, we should be in this area now!"
As he said that, Wei Hao pointed at a triangular jungle area on the animal skin map. This terrain was very similar to what they had just explored, and it should be close to it.
Immediately afterwards, he scrutinized the animal skin map again, then raised his head, looked at Shen Chen, and said seriously: "Brother Shen, there is a deserted village nearby. Maybe we can go there and have a look."
"Desolate village?"
Shen Chen looked surprised. The Bahuang Mountains were full of grass and forests. How could there be villages?
"It's like this," Wei Hao explained: "That is not a village for living, but it was deliberately built by Luo Yunzong when he opened up this space as a testing ground. Deserted villages are distributed in every area within the Bahuang Mountains. Underground in the village, there is a powerful magic circle set up by the strong men of Luo Yun Sect, which is used to deter the powerful beasts in the mountains from approaching. From a certain point of view, it can be called a safe area in the Bahuang Mountains. A large number of people will gather there to take refuge every hour!"
"oh,"
Shen Chen nodded and instantly understood what Wei Hao meant. Those special areas that can block the invasion of alien beasts are a very good choice, whether it is to recuperate or to escape the pursuit of alien beasts. In the Bahuang Mountains, naturally, Hot.
The selection has been going on for more than ten days now. That kind of place must have been crowded with people. If you want to find out the news about Xiao Nizi and her party, the deserted village is undoubtedly the best place.
"How far is the nearest deserted village from us?" After pondering, Shen Chen asked quickly.
"It's almost a hundred miles away. At our current speed, we should be able to arrive before dark!" Wei Hao responded.
"Okay, without further ado, let's go!"
After getting the relevant clues, Shen Chen's anxious mood suddenly calmed down a lot. His eyes were slightly focused, and he led Wei Hao and the other two people to quickly head towards the nearest deserted village in the mountains...
………
About two hours later, according to what was pointed out on the map, Shen Chen and the others were gradually not far from the nearest deserted village.
"Stop anyone who comes!"
But just as they were about to set foot on a necessary mountain road leading to the deserted village, suddenly, a group of about twenty teenagers jumped out of the mountain forest and blocked the four people's way.
This group of people are all young talents participating in the selection. They come from all over Yunzhou, but right now, their words and deeds sound a bit like bandits.
The young man with short hair and a green shirt at the head immediately glanced at the chest of Wei Hao behind Shen Chen with malicious eyes, his eyes filled with fire.
"Why, do you still want to buy money for the road?" Shen Chen's face was calm. With his current confidence, he would naturally not be frightened by this group of thieves who appeared out of nowhere.
"Haha, that's the right answer. As long as you hand over the token that the boy has on you, the four of you will be able to enter the deserted village in the mountains safely."
The young man with short hair and a green shirt had a joking expression on his face, and seemed to appreciate Shen Chen's "knowledge".
However, then Shen Chen didn't bother to look at him, and looked at Wei Hao beside him with some curiosity, and said: "How did that guy know that you have a token on you?"
"This..." Wei Hao looked bitter and spread his hands helplessly: "Brother Shen, you don't know something. Every token will start to emit an invisible wave when it comes close to a person. The invisible fluctuations will reach the ears of everyone within a ten-mile radius with the sound of 'ringing gold'. As long as you listen carefully, you can feel it!"
"That's it." Shen Chen nodded, feeling a little sad in his heart. He was absent-minded along the way. He was so close to Wei Hao, and he didn't notice the strangeness of the white jade on the latter's body. At this time, he listened carefully, and sure enough, there were streaks of gold. The sound echoed in my ears.
And that kind of sound is very special. It seems ethereal, but it is easy for people to perceive the direction from which the sound comes. Such strange fluctuations undoubtedly make this selection more difficult. The juniors participating in the selection Even if you are lucky enough to obtain a token and try to hide it, it will probably not work and you can only defend it with hard power.
"Oh, not only that, when night comes, the fluctuations of this thing will also attract beasts to fight for it. In this mountain range, it is a very dangerous thing!" Wei Hao sighed. At this time, he couldn't help but hear what Shen Chen said. I thought of my companions who died tragically. To be precise, those people were all caused by this thing...
On the other side, seeing the two of them talking about well-known issues without any scruples, the faces of the young man in green shirt and others suddenly darkened, and there was a feeling of anger that they had been teased.
It happened that at this moment, Shen Chen seemed to notice the bitterness on Wei Hao's face. In front of everyone, he patted the latter's shoulder and comforted him: "Okay, there's no need to be sad, everything will be yours from now on." , no one can take it away!"
As soon as these words came out, Wei Hao and his two companions' eyes turned red and their hearts warmed, but when they heard this in the ears of the young man in green shirt and others, it was a different story.
Is this guy provoking them?
"Boy, it seems you are very cool!" The young man in green shirt had an ugly expression on his face, and there was a coldness in his eyes as he looked at Shen Chen.
Sensing the unkind expressions of these people, Shen Chen's eyes slowly became indifferent. Ever since he was captured by the ghost Youquan, what he hated most in his life was when someone stared at him with such malicious eyes. Live yourself.
"kill!"
Suddenly, the young man in green shirt moved, perhaps because he sensed a dangerous smell from Shen Chen. In an instant without any warning, he shouted, and more than a dozen darts emitting faint light were shot towards the target. Shen Chen.
The dozen or so darts were not magical weapons. The faint light they emitted was a poison that sealed the throat when it saw blood. At this time, the green-shirted boy used all his spiritual power to shoot out, drawing black lines in his breath. It's like a group of poisonous snakes coming out of their holes.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
The speed of the poison dart is so fast that the naked eye cannot catch it. There are spiritual energy fluctuations infused into it, and it is a sneak attack. Such despicable methods, if it is an ordinary monk at the ninth or even tenth level of the blood-melting realm, it is easy to be attacked with hatred.
But this time, the young man in green shirt kicked the iron plate. Shen Chen saw the dots of cold stars coming towards him and snorted disdainfully. He then waved his sleeves and robe and took them all into his hands.
"Hahaha! Boy, the poisonous dart is tempered with magnolia python venom. Just accept your defeat!"
Seeing that more than a dozen poison darts were taken with all their strength, the green-shirted boy's eyes narrowed slightly, but he soon burst into a proud laugh.
"Is it?"
Shen Chen laughed coldly and glanced at the poison dart in his hand. The venom on the blade was indeed corroding his palm, but no one noticed that the venom had not yet penetrated into the flesh and blood, and was instantly on the surface of the skin of his palm. In the faint red light, it disappeared completely...
