"During this period, I have been in Shandai-Jingu City."
Listening to Qingshi's words, Du Yu also recalled the map of Daxia in his mind.
In this map of Daxia after the "magic reform", the division of provinces and regions is completely different from the previous one, and the Rooster map has also become an approximately rectangular continent.
On this independent continent, there is no Little Bear in the north, no Xiaori and Little Hanzi in the east, and there are not many countries in the south. When Du Yu first looked at the map, he was stunned for a while.
Only in the west, there are a few scattered small countries that share an independent continent with Daxia.
But they were too far away from Du Yu's life, and he hadn't done much research yet.
Fortunately, in Daxia, the names of some mountains, rivers and rivers are very similar to those in previous lives. For example, in Shandai Province, there is a very famous mountain - Mount Tai.
Most of Shandai Province should belong to the Qilu land of Du Yu's previous life.
Son Dai Province is located in the southwest of Thao Hai Province, bordering the two sides.
So strictly speaking, Songguta City, where Du Yu lives now, should have been in, uh, the sea in his previous life?
Well, yes!
Rounding it all off, King Bendu is the King of the Sea.
"More than a month ago, a gourd-shaped mountain appeared near Jingu City in Daishan Province.
It rises suddenly from the ground. In a world covered with heavy snow, Hulu Mountain is not stained by any frost or snow."
Du Yu nodded: "So, ancient spiritual weapon."
Yang Qingqing looked at Du Yu: "The location where it appears is very special, right above the bottomless pit."
Du Yu looked startled: "Bottomless pit?"
"Yeah." Yang Qingqing sighed deeply, "This gourd-shaped mountain blocked the bottomless pit and destroyed all the defenses we had built for a long time."
"Is anyone hurt?"
Yang Qingqing looked at Du Yu silently without responding.
Du Yu lowered his head slightly and realized that it was unnecessary to ask this question.
In the bottomless pit, there are soldiers of the demon army all the time, building underground cities and strengthening defenses.
A huge gourd mountain suddenly rises from the ground, how could there be no casualties?
After a long silence, Yang Qingqing said softly: "Since the emergence of Hulu Mountain, the cold air has never invaded that land."
At this moment, Du Yu finally realized the key to the problem!
He said: "Just like my Shadow Gu Tower, if ancient spiritual weapons want to reappear, they need to make great sacrifices and change their nature to adapt to this world.
My Shadow Gu Tower re-emerged by receiving the demon breath.
Could it be that this Hulu Mountain 'alive' by accepting the cold air?"
Yang Qingqing nodded lightly, this kid really knows everything.
Seeing the woman's reaction, Du Yu felt an uproar in his heart!
By accepting the cold air, can you change your own attributes?
This is incredible!
You know, spiritual energy and cold energy are the most conflicting. How did this ancient spiritual weapon blend the cold energy?
The Shadow Gu Tower is now alive and can be activated with demon breath, but don't forget that it still needs spiritual energy as its foundation, and this Hulu Mountain.
Yang Qingqing: "Because the Shadow Gu Tower project I was responsible for last time was completed very well and with a high degree of completion, I was sent to Jingu City.
The first time I went there, I wanted to negotiate with Hulushan.
My habitual thinking is still there, thinking that Hulusan Mountain has gone through so much hardship and reappeared in front of the world. It should be that it has some grievances and wants to find someone to talk to.
But that’s not the case.”
Du Yu: "Does it want to?"
Yang Qingqing shook her head: "To this day, we still don't know what it wants.
My thinking is wrong. Maybe everything is not that complicated. Survival is the instinct of all living things.
Maybe Hulushan just wants to survive and doesn't want to be buried."
Du Yu: "Yeah"
Yang Qingqing suddenly said: "I have seen it."
"ah?"
Yang Qingqing: "I have seen the weapon spirits of Hulushan Mountain.
When our team entered it and explored, we discovered a unique cold beast."
"Cold beast?"
"Yes." Yang Qingqing looked at the little Tai Sui running back from the side. Her palms slightly moved forward, and Huotongshu understood.
Little Tai Sui wanted to find his master, but his beard was cut off halfway by a pliable branch, and his furry body was rolled up and sent to Yang Qingqing's arms.
"Huh?" Little Tai Sui turned his head curiously, looking at the noble and elegant woman, and he was somewhat impressed by her.
Yang Qingqing's mood improved a little as the furry round ball rolled into her arms. She gently pinched the little Tai Sui's ears.
"Hey!" Little Tai Sui folded his ears and struggled, still trying to find his master.
Yang Qingqing casually pulled a pitaya fruit from a branch and handed it to the little guy's mouth.
This time, Xiao Tai Sui stopped struggling and immediately forgot about Du Yu.
Yang Qingqing raised his eyes and looked at Du Yu: "Hulu Mountain is full of cold beasts and full of endless cold air.
If nothing else, the bottom of Hulu Mountain should be close to the bottomless pit - the underground gate.
There, we also found the branches of the Chill Tree, which are like natural plank roads.
The only difference is that the cold branches in Hulu Mountain are not bound by spiritual branches, but the cold branches are still unable to move."
Listening to such confidential information, Du Yu couldn't help but secretly sighed.
What an ancient spiritual weapon, so hard!
Even the cold tree from another world can't stir up any disturbance inside it?
Du Yu asked: "Then the inside of Hulu Mountain is equivalent to another bottomless pit?"
"It's more dangerous there, and it's also the graveyard of cold beasts."
Yang Qingqing stroked the little Tai Sui and said softly: "Hulushan is refining cold beasts. To be precise, it is refining all living things.
Just like boiling frogs in warm water, by the time the cold beasts reacted, it was already too late and unable to resist.
When we humans enter and explore it, both the physical level and the demon breath and soul are being refined."
Subconsciously, Du Yu hugged Bai Yujing tightly, who was calling "Nana" in his arms.
As sharp as Yang Qingqing, she naturally understood Du Yu's body language.
She comforted: "Don't worry, refining is a long-term process. As long as we leave within the specified time, there will be no irreversible damage to our bodies."
"We can go in and out of Hulushan at will? We won't be blocked?"
"That's it. The cold beasts are mindless and only focus on destruction. If they just focus on escaping and fly vertically upward, they might be able to escape."
Yang Qingqing said softly: "It's just that so far, no cold beasts have been able to escape. They are all buried in Hulu Mountain."
"That's right." Du Yu nodded, "By the way, Qingshi, why do you say that cold beast is special?"
"Because all cold beasts are ferocious and violent, everything around them is the target of their destruction.
But that cold beast was very quiet, its state was very abnormal, and it didn't have any aggression at all. It stared at us for a while."
Yang Qingqing shook her head helplessly: "When I discussed it with the team and wanted to go over and negotiate with it, it had disappeared.
Thinking about it now, the so-called cold beast is probably the weapon spirit of this Hulu Mountain.
That was the moment we were closest to solving the mystery, but from that day on, no matter how hard we searched, we could no longer find the cold beast.
Because of it, we lost too many people. We lost many soldiers and left many corpses."
Du Yu: "Do we have to find it?"
"Because we don't know what it will become." Yang Qingqing sighed in her heart, "If it maintains the status quo, that's fine, but what if it is not satisfied with the status quo?
If such a powerful spiritual weapon has any abnormal movement, the degree of danger it will cause is difficult to predict."
Du Yu looked a little ugly: "Yeah"
Yang Qingqing gestured to Bai Yujing in Du Yu's arms: "My spiritual energy is only effective on the upper half of Hulu Mountain and can dispel the cold air around me.
As we continued to go deeper, the cold air became too strong and the dispersing effect of the spiritual energy became ineffective.
We have completely lost our vision, so we can only rely on some special demon pets and demon skills to explore the surrounding terrain.
We also want to use some technological equipment, such as thermal imaging detection, but the body structure of the Tianbao clan monsters is too special, and we don’t have it among them."
Yang Qingqing's words stopped abruptly. Looking at Du Yu's expression, she always felt that something was wrong.
This is indeed the case.
When Yang Qingqing said that there was a cold air in Hulusan Mountain and everyone was blind, Du Yu's face looked a little unnatural, and he was even more moved!
The Eye of Burning Sun can see through all forms of fog!
As early as when Du Yu was still at his peak as a demon master, he was taken off the battlefield by the Qingshi and entered the bottomless 20th floor of the southern suburbs.
At that time, he had opened the Eye of the Burning Sun, looked into the bottomless pit below, and could clearly see the environment below!
It's just a pity that the branches of the Cold Tree are too dense and the giant trees are criss-crossing, so he and Xiao Fenyang failed to find the demonic fire.
Now, Du Yu has reached the rank of Demon Master, and his physical fitness has been greatly improved. He can no longer watch for 2 or 3 seconds like last time.
"Du Yu."
Du Yu came back to his senses and raised his eyes to look at Qingshi: "Huh?"
Yang Qingqing looked serious: "What do you think?"
"Ah" Du Yu scratched his head, thoughts racing in his mind.
With a person of Qingshi's level sitting in front of him, all of his reactions were unavoidable.
He said: "Qingshi, you said that the cold beast stared at you for a long time. Is it looking at your bell bracelet?"
Yang Qingqing raised her wrist and thought carefully: "This possibility cannot be ruled out."
"Huh?" Little Tai Sui was immediately attracted by the bell bracelet. His small black eyes were blinking. He reached out the little bear's paw and touched it cautiously.
Du Yu suggested: "Then I will take the Shadow Gu Pagoda with me. Maybe the other party will be willing to communicate with us?"
Yang Qingqing: "Even though it was attracted by my bell bracelet, it had no desire to come forward to communicate. I explored it long enough and it never appeared again."
Du Yu continued: "It's different, Qingshi!
The Shadow Gu Tower was originally designed to absorb the souls of the spirit masters, but now it absorbs and refines the demon souls instead.
Regardless of what Hulushan was doing before, it is now refining cold beasts and demon souls.
In order to see the light of day again, the functions of these two magical instruments tend to be the same, and there is overlap in function. Maybe the two magical instruments have some common language?"
Yang Qingqing: "."
Du Yu struck while the iron was hot: "Let's give it a try, Qingshi. You won't lose anything. Just treat it as a trip. I haven't been to Shandai Province yet."
Yang Qingqing pondered for a moment, then stood up slowly: "I'll think about it."
After all, Hu Lu Mountain is too dangerous, and it is not as easy to talk to as Shadow Gu Tower.
It's not like the Shadow Gu Tower, which sacrifices its own strength to give explorers spiritual energy and recruit people to listen to its ancient stories.
Hulushan is very powerful. If it is really seduced by Du Yu and Shadow Gu Pagoda, no one can predict its next move!
And Du Yu is still just a demon master
Seeing the young master leaving, Du Yu opened his mouth. Until the slim figure disappeared at the door, he still did not dare to say a word.
