The team moved forward on the rugged mountain road, and now they finally reached the top of the mountain.
It is said to be the top of the mountain, but because this is an ancient mountain-crossing road specially built for crossing the mountains, this is a "gap" at a lower altitude in the Longji Mountains, with towering peaks on both sides. It's as if the cliffs on both sides are about to crush towards him, it can be said to be a wonder.
Lily was still running at the front of the team as usual, she didn't seem to know what it meant to be tired at all, even when the strong horses that followed the team all the way up were panting heavily, she still had the strength to jump up and down in front: " See the lake of blood! See the lake of blood!"
Hao Ren followed behind, and when he heard Lily's yelling, he immediately took two steps. Standing on the open ground on the top of the mountain, he finally saw the destination of his trip—this place was actually still some distance away from the Blood Lake, but because of this The world's air quality is excellent, and there is no cloud and fog to cover it here. Standing on the mountain, you can see the scene far away.
At the foot of the mountain, a large plain and forest spread out, and the Beinz Blood Lake shone with magnificent ruby luster surrounded by the forest and plain. It was really like the legend, the lake was as red as blood, shining in the sun Brilliant, eerie, but magnificent. "This thing is really spectacular," Hao Ren said sincerely. He had guessed what a "blood lake" would look like countless times before, but it was nothing more than changing the color of the picture of the earth's lakes in his mind. Now After witnessing it with his own eyes, he realized that the imagination in his mind has its limit after all. The visual impact brought by such a vast ocean of blood-colored water spreading in front of his eyes is extraordinary. Not only is it dyeing the earth red, but it also casts a strange red light into the sky. The sunlight shining on the blood lake creates a hazy light effect. It feels as if the Beinz area is surrounded by an enchantment of another world, and the entire lake area is shrouded in a strange atmosphere. Hao Ren stood on the top of the mountain without moving for a long time, until he suddenly discovered that some of the colors around the blood lake were not simply dyed by the lake light, "Is that a forest?"
Becky looked at the direction of Hao Ren's finger. It was a large forest between the Blood Lake and the mountains. It was also the only way to go to the Blood Lake after leaving Layton Town. This forest had a surprisingly neat distribution of vegetation. , almost everywhere is covered with the same density of "canopy", and the whole has a disturbing purple-red hue. Becky noticed that Hao Ren and several others were looking at the forest in amazement. There was no surprise on his face: "It's incredible to see it for the first time, right? That's the forest, the twisted woodland. It is said that the angry thoughts of the goddess when she destroyed the world remained in the lake, thus eroding the surrounding plants. , I said before that there are many strange and dangerous creatures around the blood lake, and that forest is one of the most dangerous creatures: it is a plant, unprecedentedly huge, covering half of the plain, but we have to go through the forest." "Literally, you don't even know this, do you? At least you should have heard of it." Becky shrugged, "All the trees in the entire Twisted Woodland are actually the same plant, which is an unusually large and ancient plant. The existence of piercing the tentacles exposed on the surface. It took a small group of elf scholars more than a hundred years to confirm this fact. But don't worry, the twisted woodland itself is not offensive, we just need to be careful of the poisonous plants and beasts growing in the forest can."…
Hao Ren got goosebumps all over his body. He looked at the large purple-red forest on the plain at the foot of the mountain, imagining that the thousands of plants there were actually branches of some strange, huge, ancient creature, and the next thing he did was To walk through that living behemoth makes the hair stand on end. Lily didn't hide her trembling even more, she jumped back twice with her tail between her legs: "Is there another way?"
Becky raised her finger to the northern part of the forest, where the bare plain soil had a deeper purple-red sheen. Glittering in the sun as if covered with a crystal shell, the purple-red plain connects the mountains on the other side of the Blood Lake: "Otherwise there is only one road to the Blood Lake. But that requires Go around the poisonous plain, and finally walk through the sacred mountains of the mountain people and the werewolf tribal country. The risk factor is higher. Although the mountain people are hospitable, they don't like people entering their holy mountains, especially the werewolf tribal country .”
Lily puffed out her chest vigorously, showing that she was a werewolf: "Isn't it okay to have an introduction from someone of your own?"
To be honest, if she had to have the same figure as Vivienne, then this chest puff would be somewhat convincing...
Becky squinted at Lily: "Are you sure you are really a werewolf? Why do I feel that you don't know much about the rules of werewolves like I do? For so many years, there are only a few bishops of the Glory Sect and the previous generation of the wise king Bede Wayne was welcomed into the holy mountain by the werewolf tribe and mountain people by virtue of his virtue, how can you be so confident?"
Hao Ren knew that the husky would lose the chain, so he quickly pulled Lily back: "Hehe, she grew up on the plains just like Y'zaks, and her blood is not pure..."
Of course the blood is impure, one-sixteenth Jingba, this is not a lie, Hao Ren's biggest characteristic is that he does not lie.
Becky walked forward: "Okay, let's go down the mountain, and try to reach Layton Town before night, I don't want to spend the night in the mountain."
The climate of the Longji Mountains is the same as Becky said before. The two sides of the mountains are completely different. The east side facing the grassland is dry and cold with sparse vegetation, while the west side facing the Beinz Blood Lake has warm and humid air. This humid air might come from the weird blood-colored lake, which makes people wonder, but the mountains on the west side are indeed much more comfortable.
The surrounding rocks are no longer as bare as the east foot, but low plants and weird vines growing tenaciously in the crevices of the rocks can be seen everywhere. Of course, there are moss in some places.
When the team reached the halfway up the mountain, Becky stopped suddenly, and she pointed to the cliff in the distance and exclaimed: "Look over there!!"
Following the direction of Becky's finger, you can see an obvious collapsed mountain wall. The solid mountain covered with vines, moss, and bushes collapsed as if it had been gouged by the gods from top to bottom, leaving behind The almost vertical 90-degree cliff, this time the landslide dug a straight high wall directly under one of the peaks of the Longji Mountains. On the broken cliff, you can see the exposed taupe rocks, and you can faintly see it at the foot of the mountain. The dust mist that has not completely dissipated, it seems that this terrible disintegration accident happened not long ago.
Hao Ren instantly thought of the loud noise that everyone had heard shortly before going up the mountain - it turned out that it came from the western foot of the mountain range
Lily looked up at the sky, and she vaguely remembered that there were thick clouds floating in the sky when everyone went up the mountain: "Probably because the clouds reflected the sound, the landslide from the western foot of the mountain range spread to the east foot."
Hao Ren coughed dryly, thinking what happened to this silly girl today, she suddenly revealed her true nature as Emperor of Physics, could it be that her usual personality is just a disguise
But then Lily started to pick up rocks from nearby and throw them out vigorously to see if they could hit the rocks in the distance. Hao Ren was relieved: It seems that she is still a bastard...
"The collapse of the Longji mountain range is not a good omen..." Becky muttered to herself, her voice revealed the fear of being a local aborigine who had been brainwashed by various religious legends, while Vivian on the other side Then quickly summoned a little bat to fly to the newly cracked mountain wall, because she saw some traces that made her quite concerned.
Soon the little bat found the evidence that Vivienne expected, and the vampire girl gasped: "Those rock giants really split off from these cliffs, and... definitely more than four!"
A series of dents with a specific shape can be seen on the edge of the rocky cliff, which looks like the traces left by a giant buried in the mountain breaking free from its shackles. It was found out at once, but she also saw many similar peeling marks.
The whole mountain is full of signs of disintegration, how many stones have turned into that terrible huge monster
