In the dense jungle that never sees the sun, there is a hot spring with bubbling water.
The bottom of the clearly visible hot spring is a layer of fine white sand, and the surrounding area of the spring is a clean large black stone slab. The spring water that continuously gushes out from the ground flows out along several traces on the stone slab, and soon seeps into the surrounding thick humus soil and disappears.
Ji Wu soaked comfortably in the hot spring, with a faint light of fire emerging from time to time on his skin.
Jiang Yu was carrying a strange red python about ten feet long, walking slowly around the hot spring, reciting obscure ancient spells. The neck of the strange python was cut open by a black jade knife in Jiang Yu's hand. The red snake blood, which exuded high temperature, continued to drip down and formed dozens of weird runes the size of human heads on the stone slab beside the hot spring.
Seven or eight tough women, nearly three meters tall, as tall as a horse, and covered in tendons, stood by the hot spring, constantly throwing medicine bags made of large and small grass leaves into the hot spring.
Sometimes, what they throw into the hot springs are some weird things, such as animal teeth as long as an adult's arm, various weird poison glands and venom sacs, various corpses and carapace of inexplicable insects, etc.
The originally crystal clear hot spring slowly changed color. Under the influence of Jiang Wei's witchcraft, the spring water gradually turned into a red slurry as thick as blood. Traces of red gas continued to penetrate Ji Wu's body from the spring water. Ji Wu's body twitched violently, and his rough face gradually became twisted and ferocious.
A few miles away, Ji Hao stood at the top of a towering tree, smiling and watching the activities here.
Lao Shi was under the big tree, wandering around the tree in distress. His body is so heavy that no tree can bear his weight. He could only look at Ji Hao anxiously, curious about what he saw.
A dryad that can roughly see the division of human limbs, but still looks like an old tree as a whole, is standing next to the old stone. The branches entwined around its body are holding a huge wine vat, and its dark eyes are open. With a big mouth, he tasted the wine in small sips.
Every time Lao Shi wandered in front of him, the old tree demon would stretch out a branch and slap Lao Shi hard on the butt. But Lao Shi didn't respond to the pain at all, and the branches hitting him had no effect.
At the top of the tree, next to Ji Hao, an extremely beautiful girl covered with vines was playing with a long bow with a smile. The temperament of this girl changes rapidly. When she is frowning and thinking, her breath is as clear and ethereal as a mountain fairy; when she smiles gently and raises her beautiful eyebrows, it is like thousands of roses and peonies in bloom. Her boundless charm makes her like a fairy. Demons and demons.
The girl was riding a leopard whose body was fiery red and whose red hair was dotted with silver spots. This big guy, which was more than three feet long, was like a ghost, standing lightly on a branch as thick as a child's fist, and the thin branch did not move at all.
Lao Shi is a 'stone monster', a spiritual monster in the mountains who is nourished by the power of the stars and breeds 'spiritual monsters'.
The old tree demon is a 'tree demon', a clan of 'monsters' who are the ancient trees in the mountain forest who have gained spiritual wisdom, been blessed by heaven and earth, and cultivated themselves into human form.
The girl's name is "Hengluojun", which is the name given to her by Ji Hao. She is a member of the 'Mountain Ghost' or 'Mountain God' clan. She is a strange creature formed by the aura naturally growing in the mountains and forests. She is born to raise and concentrate the beauty of heaven and earth. She is born with the ability to control herds of animals, identify plants, and spirits. The ability to communicate with ghosts.
Ji Hao has been unwilling to hang out with the little brats of the same age in the tribe since he was a child. Ever since he could walk, he has been in the mountains and forests all day long. In the past few years, Ji Hao has made friends with Lao Shi, Lao Dryad, Lord Hengluo, and other strange creatures.
Amidst the sound of "quacking", Mr. Hengluo suddenly reached out and tapped a branch beside him. A green bud quickly grew out of the note, and soon turned into a flower the size of a human head. The fragrant fragrance spurted out from the flowers, and at the same time the voices of Jiang Wei and Ji Wu were heard.
In the mountains and forests, the flowers, plants and trees within ten miles of Hengluojun will become her eyes and ears.
Ji Hao squatted next to Heng Luojun and listened quietly to the conversation between Jiang Yu and his son.
Jiang Wei walked quickly around the hot spring, throwing all kinds of strange medicines into the hot spring while sternly lecturing Ji Wu.
"Wu, you are my son, Jiang Wei. Your grandpa is the great shaman of the Bifang tribe and the most powerful elder of the Bifang tribe. Your bloodline is much nobler than that of the humble Firecrow tribe. You You actually lost to a kid three or four years younger than you?"
Ji Wu bared his teeth and howled in a low voice: "Emma, I was accidentally plotted by him. I will not give him a chance during the ancestor worship ceremony. I will chop him to pieces with an axe."
Speaking of what he was proud of, Ji Wu raised his hands in excitement and waved them vigorously into the air several times.
Jiang Wei narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "That's right. You have the noble blood of our Bifang tribe flowing in you. How can you lose to a group of descendants of black crows? Killed in front of countless people of the Fire Crow tribe. This kid Ji Hao... I, Jiang Yu's son, cannot lose to the son of a lowly Qingyi tribe woman."
Hengluo Jun looked at Ji Hao curiously: "A woman from the Qingyi tribe? Are you talking about your mother-in-law? Hao, I like the smell of your mother-in-law very much."
Ji Hao listened to the sounds coming from the flowers and said slowly: "I also like my mother-in-law, but if someone doesn't like her, there's nothing I can do about it."
Among the huge flowers, Jiang Yu’s voice continued to be heard.
"But Wu, don't kill him. During the ancestor worship ceremony, you and Ji Hao made a blood oath to the ancestors. Whoever loses will be the other's slave."
"You want that brat Ji Hao to become your slave, do you understand?"
Ji Wu roared angrily: "Slaves? I don't lack slaves, Eminem. Abba has wiped out more than a dozen small tribes over the years. I have hundreds of slaves. Why do I want Ji Wu to be my slave? I want Kill him."
"Let him become a slave, stupid boy." Jiang Yu's voice became particularly weird and sinister: "Let him become a slave... If Eminem kills Qing Fu during the ancestor worship ceremony, it's up to you to do whatever you want. But if Eminem doesn’t succeed, use Ji Hao’s life to force Qingfu to hand over the two inherited witchcraft treasures she was given as a dowry!”
Ji Hao was very excited when he heard this, and he sincerely applauded and admired Jiang Wei's wishful thinking.
"That's great, that's great. Her man wants to take away my father's position, and she wants to take away my mother's inherited witchcraft treasure. His son wants to kill me! What a kind and good family!"
Amid laughter, Ji Hao pointed in the direction of the hot spring.
The old tree demon opened his mouth, stuffed the wine jar into his mouth, swallowed it, and swayed his huge body towards the hot spring.
