Candle Dragon to the left

Chapter 188.
Taihang, the mountains stretch to the infinite horizon.

The afterglow of the setting sun just coated the edges with a layer of golden light.

The long winter is over.

The spring breeze brings warmth along the clear water to both sides, crosses thousands of hills, blows away the old snow and brings new buds.

The chirping of birds, beasts and insects in the depths of the mountains gradually increased, and the quiet mountains became lively.

And after the heavy snow melted, a road that separated the world from the mountains appeared.

According to the records of the ancients, the way he entered Taihang was called "Eight Xings of Taihang".

People in this world call it the "Road to Rise".

Today, the mountains of Taihang are majestic and tall, let alone mortals who are looking for an opportunity to rise, it is difficult for creatures below the Yangshen Realm to climb directly.If you want to enter the mountains, you have to follow the rules of the mountains.Taihang Eight Xings, the road to rise, these eight roads from all directions are the rules.

People living around Taihang Mountain all know that the God of Taihang Mountain has returned, and the demons have been wiped out, so that this ancient mountain has returned to peace and tranquility.

When the turmoil passed and those unbelievably powerful kings gathered and left, this ancient mountain range was naturally a battleground for those with ambitions.

In the depths of the mountain grows a medium that can make people rise.

It is equivalent to letting a mortal ascend to the sky in one step.

Since there are these eight ancient roads in Taihang Mountain, it means that the mountains do not reject the explorers of the world.Most of them are active on the edge of the mountains, and it is difficult to go deep.Not only the distance is too far away, but also the beasts living in the mountains, and even the rising monsters.The aura saturation in the ancient mountains is far better than that of the outside world. Even if the beasts that have lived in the mountains for a long time have not risen from the devouring medium, their physique and spiritual intelligence are far better than before.It is extremely dangerous for ordinary people to encounter such ferocious beasts in the mountains. As for the monsters, the explorers have never gone deep into their activities, and the number of encounters with monsters is very small, and most of them observe from a distance.

At this time, with the sunset, there is such a team of explorers walking in the mountains.

A dozen or so people are neatly dressed and well-dressed.

"Huh!" The young man raised his mouth and blew upwards, blowing away the petals that fell on the tip of his nose.

The man ahead with a machete to open the way glanced.

The young man immediately restrained himself.

"It's getting dark, we can't continue on our way, let's find a place to camp." The man who led the way said.

"Boy, come here."

The young man knew that the other party was calling him, so he walked from the center of the line to the front with a cat.

Even if there is a way to go in the mountains, there are not many people who dare to drill into the ancient mountains.Those ancient continents separated the cities and the locations between them extremely far away. In the past, only the risers could travel between the two cities.And only they have the ability to traverse the long uncharted territory.Under the premise that communication cannot be perfected at present, there are not many products of pre-civilization that can be used.

Firearms are still a convenient weapon for ordinary people.

But also precious.

Only the products that are difficult to replenish will always be exhausted one day, not to mention the performance of these guys who could have been reassuring in this era is not impressive.

It takes about ten days and half a month for the seekers to travel from the city where they are to reach the Taihang Mountains if they only travel by foot.What's more interesting is that the city they are in is probably one of the cities closest to the Taihang Mountains.The higher-ups in the city will send them a riser to send them here, and most risers are more precious, they are rare and stable guardians in every city.In most cases, the risers will not enter the Taihang Mountains.

They are the ones who want to enter the mountain to fight for their lives.

They have the desire and ambition to embrace power, and their lives are of little value.

The seekers who are thoughtfully sent to the Taihang Mountains belong to themselves, and others will not interfere. After finding a medium, they go out of the mountain. At intervals of a week, there will be risers going back and forth between several cities, and they will be able to return to the city.

This is currently the most efficient way to increase risers.

The strength and number of risers is the capital of every city.

Young people, he needs to rise up, he needs strength.

When he walked up to the lead man, the man threw him a signaling device.

"Find the water source," the man said.

"We need to rely on the water source to judge the safe location. At the same time, we need to replenish water and bring some water back. But be careful not to fill all three of your water bladders, which will greatly slow down your progress."

Many wild beasts drink at night, and avoiding water sources means avoiding most dangers.

The young man nodded.

The man looked around and continued to give instructions to the others.

"Fix here, wait for the signal!"

"Yes!"

This is a pretty sophisticated team.The action after the order is issued is very fast.When the youth looked back at the camp for the last time, the tents were almost complete.

Do I need to set up a tent for this repair?

In the past, most camps were established only when the station was confirmed.

The young man was a little puzzled, but he didn't think much about it, and went into the dense forest with the signal device.Another bright spot in the signal instrument is the indicator carried by the leader.

Inside the camp, a middle-aged woman leaned over.

The voices of the conversation between the two were very low.

"Boss, it's only been three days since I entered the mountain, so it must be like this?"

"There are other eyes in this team. He doesn't allow the child named Wang Hanyu to live for three days. I received a warning last night." The man replied.

"The signaler is not just a signaler. When it is turned on, it can emit some kind of fluctuation, attracting beasts within a few miles. I don't want to be the executioner myself, and I don't want the child to know that his struggle is so in the eyes of some people before he dies." Weak and useless. Just treat him as unlucky."

"It is better to lament over fate than to despair at the established outcome."

With a soft sigh, there was no sound here.

…………

"Your Majesty asked me to patrol the mountain—I'll turn Taihang around—"

Yamanomi's singing echoed, and her voice sounded like that of a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl.

The scope of the singing is far beyond the surface, the strange power is hidden in the singing, spreading along the veins and warm wind.The beast and the demon sensed the information buried in the ballad and quietly receded away.

The rising creatures actually don't know what the ancestors who have been staying in the core area of ​​Taihang are running around when they have nothing to do.

Go a little further and you will be out of the Taihang Mountains.

But I'm too lazy to think about it.

The behavior of this ancestor has always been unpredictable.

Not long ago, there were rumors among the big monsters that the ancestor pressed a big monster on the ground and rubbed it against the terrible deeds that his own mother didn't know.

As for the reason, as far as the victim said, it was because of the spiritual medium he had taken a fancy to.

Just hell.

Although everyone knew that the big monster only said the half that was good to him, but why fight for a medium.

There was no abnormal phenomenon, and the big demon was just wronged and beaten up, and it was no pity that his treasure was robbed.Most likely it's not a good thing.

The young man walking out from the forest saw the river flowing in the distance.

But what attracted him more was the singing and the girl sitting on the boulder by the river. The girl who was humming turned her head, and her big almond-like eyes stared straight at his direction.But he obviously didn't make any movements that might be discovered. From that angle, it was impossible for the girl to see him.

The signal device was activated, and the veins popped on the palm of his hand holding the signal device.

It is indeed impossible.

But that's for ordinary people.

This is Taihang Mountain, the girl who can sit here and sing, can only be a monster deep in the mountain!
The young man turned his head and ran back the moment the signaling device was pressed.

"Play my drum, strike my gong. What if there is no gong or drum, and now catch someone unlucky..." The girl was still singing, and the singing sound was getting farther and farther away from him, but his heartbeat became more and more frequent severe.

Since he was sure of entering the Taihang Mountains, he naturally did a lot of homework behind his back.

For example, the division of rising creatures.

The big monsters in the depths of the mountains also don't have the ability to transform into human beings. If you see a monster in human form... According to the records, only creatures at the level of the demon king have the ability to transform into human form.

This seemingly harmless girl is the head demon king!

Demon King!

The young man's thoughts were chaotic, and he kept questioning.

Why do demon kings appear on the edge of the mountains? Many explorers have passed by in this area, and it is definitely not the territory of a demon king!

Why did he run into the Demon King just when he arrived?

He subconsciously ran in the direction he came from, and occasionally tripped over a tree root and fell to his head.

He didn't know how long he ran, the last light among the mountains converged behind him, and night fell, covering the mountains, trees, and him.

Until a ray of light appeared in front of his eyes.

That's camp!

He panted heavily, where is the girl behind him?The song from before seemed to still be echoing in his ears.But there is nothing around, twisted under the shadow of the surrounding ancient trees under the night.He managed to get rid of a demon king?He was a little unbelievable.How could a mortal escape from a demon king.

In this chaotic era, it is not that he has not experienced the situation of the demon king walking on the earth.

The huge body is like a moving mountain and iron wall,

They raided human cities, or fought each other in those unknown areas that emerged.

The roar shook the sky.

But he is standing here, solid and intact.

The young man saw the leader walking out of the camp, and the moment he stopped, an indescribable sense of exhaustion surged up, and the darkness instantly spread across his vision, almost engulfing him.

But he knew he couldn't stop now.

Although he didn't know how he escaped from that mysterious girl's sight, maybe the other party was not interested in him, or maybe the other party was playing games.But no matter what, the news had to get through to the team.

The distance of several miles may be far to a human being, but there is no difference between being in front of a demon king and moving right under her eyes!

Just as he took a step towards the bright spot of the camp, everything in front of him was blurred, like a layer of frosted glass blocking him and the camp.

"The king asked me to patrol the mountain—"

"Catch a kid for dinner—"

The girl's singing sounded again.

"You!" The young man turned his head and glared at the source of the dark voice.

He never escaped, and the other party teased him, treating him as a mouse for fun.

There was no need to continue to struggle, and there was no room for resistance in front of the Demon King. At this moment, he was not only angry at the voice in the darkness, but also lamented at his own fate.

There is no future.

"Hush—" The delicate and beautiful girl came out of the darkness.

Extend your index finger to your lips.

The young man wanted to speak again, but was surprised to find that he could not make a sound.He retreated subconsciously, away from the girl who appeared in the darkness, behind him was the light of the camp, but he couldn't reach there, shrouded in the twisted shadow of the ancient trees, separated by a sad wall.

"That child activated the signal." After everything quieted down, except for his heartbeat like a drum, the young man heard the conversation behind him.

"I hope he doesn't blame us." This is the woman with a lot of seniority in the team.

"We can't blame us for this. If we want to blame, we can only blame him. He has provoked such a character. At least he can survive if he stays in the city. If he leaves the city, he won't even have the right to live."

This dialogue makes the youth unable to calm down.

He turned around slowly. It had been a long time since he left his back to others without any scruples.

For a demon king, this doesn't matter.

He needs to know the truth.

The previously blurred barriers became clear at this moment, as if he was standing in front of those two people.

But they couldn't find the existence of the youth.

"The signal device should have attracted the monster in the mountain, and he can't come back."

"But wasn't the time when the signal was turned on not long ago?"

"The things in his hands can't control the fluctuations. I'm the one who can really manipulate the signal. And I've been turning on the switch for half an hour. Why did I come out? Because the farthest distance he can go, he goes back and forth, This point in time is the bottom line." The man raised his head and looked at the darkness of the ancient wood under the night.

He suddenly had the illusion of looking at someone.

This surprised him, and when he came back to his senses, the feeling disappeared.

The youth are silent.

He just stared at the man who looked up.

Standing like this, his expression could not be seen in the darkness.

"I thought you would cry and shout, why did you betray me, why did you abandon me! You scum, you bastards... something like that." Behind her, the girl spread her hands.

The young man sighed slowly.

"Why did you let me know this? Do you have pity on me?"

He couldn't understand what the mysterious girl behind him wanted to do, but at least, the other party was not the bloody monster in the records.Can communicate, and has no intention of killing him in a short time.

"Impolite," said the girl.

"I should ask first."

"As they say, at least you won't have to worry about your life if you stay in the city. Why take the risk of entering here."

"Because in the city, life will not die, but to me it is already dead, just a walking corpse. I just didn't expect that there are his people in the team. These people, they are the most concerned people in the world. My people are gone."

"You entered Taihang to rise up," the girl said.

"Rising for what?"

"Kill." The young man's voice was very calm.

"Kill the man who killed your mother?" the girl said again.

The youth held his breath.

"Didn't you just ask me why I let you know this?"

"Your mother asked me to keep you safe more than ten years ago. All causal connections come from fate. The things your mother gave at that time were very valuable, enough to replace your life this time, and there is still more."

A plant with a bright blue luster appeared in front of the young man.

"There's no more to spare now."

medium!

The first time he saw that strange plant, he knew it was the precious treasure he had dreamed of.

"Can……"

He couldn't remember his mother making such expensive deals in the past.What's more, more than ten years ago, it was the age of no spirit, how could it affect the unpredictable mysterious girl in front of me now.

When the young man looked away from the media and wanted to continue asking, the girl disappeared.

In the empty darkness, there is only the singing of the girl, "The king called me to patrol the mountain".

　Take everyone to understand the ecology and general social structure around the Taihang Mountains ()
　　You don't mind if you haven't seen Nan Zhu for a day, right?
