Jiang Yunguang thought of the Gu insects on Ye Wuji's body, and the expression on his face was not as bright as before.
Ye Wuji noticed the emotional changes of the two people and said with a smile: "Okay, what are you doing with each of them crying and looking sad? I'm not dead yet. Besides, Southern Xinjiang is just over a mountain. As long as you get the mother Gu , won’t the poison in my body be cured!”
Ye Wuji rested in the inn for four days. As soon as her menstruation was over, she told Zhan Qingfeng that it was time to set off.
Orion refused to say anything at first, saying that it would offend the mountain god because the time was not yet up. Zhan Qingfeng increased the silver to three hundred taels before he reluctantly agreed. He also said that he was only responsible for leading the way and would not care about what happened on the road.
The time to enter the mountain was chosen the next day in Yinzheng. The weather was good that day, with a red sun and a cloudless sky. When we first entered the mountain, Bailing Mountain looked lush and lush, not as scary as the hunters said. But the further you go into the mountains, the denser the trees become. The crowns of the trees are connected, blocking out the sky and the sun. Only sporadic light can leak in through the gaps in the leaves.
After walking for about two hours, the sky was getting dark and thick fog was rising in the mountains.
When Orion saw the fog, he immediately asked everyone to repair where they were and not to go any further. Orion himself took out the fire folder and lit a torch. The mist actually showed a strange purple color under the light of the fire.
The hunter screamed, threw the torch away, knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing in all directions, muttering: "Mountain Goddess, please calm down. I didn't see anything. I didn't see anything. It was these two outsiders who forced me to do so." If the Mountain Goddess wants to blame those who enter the mountain, then blame them, please forgive me!"
Ye Wuji suddenly became happy after hearing his long words, and said deliberately: "Mountain Goddess, don't listen to his accusation! He brought us in because of his greed for money. If you want to punish him, he must be punished!"
"You...!" Orion turned around and glared at Ye Wuji, angrily yelling, "How could you harm me like this!"
"Huh? Didn't you say that first? I thought this was some kind of ceremony?" Ye Wuji saw Orion looking like he wanted to pounce on her and bite her to death, he shrugged and said, "Okay, if the Mountain Goddess is really She has a spirit, so she knows it without you saying anything."
Ye Wuji didn't believe in any mountain gods. She thought it was just because the mountains were miasmatic and full of poisonous flowers and weeds. Many people died on the mountains, so the locals deified the mountains.
The fog became thicker and thicker, and it became increasingly difficult to see even the places an arm's length away. The three of them, Ye Wuji, stood back to back, holding their own weapons in their hands. There are many wild animals in the mountains, and there is no guarantee that some wild animals will not take advantage of the mist to look for food. But the nagging hunter suddenly plunged into the thick fog, and did not look back even when Ye Wuji called him from behind. After a while, he could no longer be found.
"Damn it! That guy just left us here?" The three of them were unfamiliar with the mountain terrain. Without a guide, they would most likely keep wandering around in the mountains.
At this time, a low roar of a beast suddenly came from the fog. The roar sounded like a tiger or a bear, but I couldn't tell what species it was. Then, the three of them heard a short scream from the hunter, followed by a creepy chewing sound.
"Stay close, don't get separated." Zhan Qingfeng ordered.
From all directions, the roars of wild beasts suddenly came one after another. The sounds were sometimes near and sometimes far away, sometimes small and sometimes loud. The three of them stood still, holding their weapons tightly. They had been vigilant for a long time, but none of the beasts pounced on them.
"Are they gone?" Ye Wuji asked.
"I don't think so." Jiang Yunguang said, "Animals are often more patient than people. They may be waiting for the moment we relax. As long as there is a slight loophole, they will immediately pounce on us and bite our necks off!"
