Chapter 87: Searching for the Soul-Repulsing Stone
Yan Luo and Meng Yao looked at each other, and Yan Luo said with a smile: "Then do you still need to ask? Beishan is also a place we often go to. Although it is more dangerous, it is not a big deal for us. We will accompany you in the evening You go together."
With Yan Luo's approval, Zhang Yan felt a lot more confident. After all, it was much better to have someone take him there than to go alone, so while they had time, the three of them walked around Fengdu City together, and Zhang Yan also Just think of it as a way to see the scenery of Fengdu City. After all, this is the only ghost town in the Human Emperor Realm. There are still many places worthy of Zhang Yan's visit.
There is no sunlight all year round in Fengdu City, but it is still brightly lit. The streets are full of torches and crystal lamps for lighting. Crystal lamps are lamps made of crystals that can emit light. Although this kind of crystal is not very common, it is also It is not too rare. Most wealthy families can afford this kind of crystal lamp. Although the light emitted by this crystal is not comparable to sunlight, it is still much stronger than a torch. This kind of crystal lamp can last for a long time. , the longest one can even stay on for a hundred years.
However, the light emitted by this kind of crystal lamp has a milky white color. It is not as bright as the sun, but it is much stronger than a torch. There are such crystal lamps everywhere on the streets of Fengdu City, illuminating the whole street as if it is heaven. Generally, it gives people a very warm and welcoming feeling.
By midnight, Zhang Yan and the others had arrived at the foot of Beishan. Looking at the pitch-black Beishan in front of them, and the dark aura emanating from it, it seemed as if a savage beast was opening its mouth, ready to devour anyone. No timid person would dare to walk into it at this time. The dark mountains and the cold wind blowing from time to time were in sharp contrast to the brightly lit Fengdu City behind them.
Yan Luo and Meng Yao had been to Beishan a few times. After all, as locals of Fengdu City, they had already understood Fengdu City thoroughly. They didn't care. They were just telling Zhang Yan what they should pay attention to when they go up the mountain. .
Yan Luo reminded from the side: "Wait a minute, no matter what, the three of us must not get separated, and we must move quickly. There is only an hour for the black fog to dissipate, and we must come out within this hour." , we must come out regardless of whether we have found the Soul-Resting Stone. Even if we have not found the Soul-Resting Stone, we can still come in and look for it the next day, but we must not stay in it. Once swallowed by the black mist, you will be lost forever. Among them, even if the black fog disappears the next day, you will disappear with it."
Zhang Yan nodded seriously when he heard this and said, "Don't worry, I will follow you in a moment. I will do whatever you tell me to do."
Yan Luo nodded when he heard this, "You must follow us closely. Once the black fog clears, we will rush up the mountain as fast as possible. After so many years of exploration, most of the soul-weary stones at the foot of the mountain have been picked up. Now, if you want to find the Soul-Resting Stone, you can only go up the mountain. The closer you are to the top of the mountain, the greater the chance of finding the Soul-Resting Stone. However, we must calculate the time well and ensure that we can return within an hour. .”
After Yan Luo explained clearly, it was midnight in less than a moment. The thick black fog in front of him suddenly dissipated, revealing the original trees on the mountain. The trees on the north mountain were very strange. These trees seemed to be dead. , all are tree trunks, no leaves can be seen at all.
"quick!"
As soon as the thick fog dissipated, Yan Luo immediately took the crystal lantern and ran towards the mountain. Zhang Yan and Meng Yao followed closely behind, holding the crystal lantern respectively and running quickly towards the mountain.
While running, Zhang Yan felt strange, "Why are all the trees here dead? It stands to reason that there is no sunshine here, how can there be trees?"
Meng Yao explained on the side: "The trees here are not dead, it's just that the trees here are special. They were born to look like this. We all call these trees black trees, because they are always dark, but after all they are We don’t know why there are such trees. After all, the world is full of wonders, so it’s not surprising that the trees here grow like this.”
Zhang Yan didn't say anything more after hearing this, but followed Yan Luo's pace and ran quickly towards the top of the mountain.
Meng Yao said while running: "You two, don't just run. Pay attention to your steps from time to time. Maybe we will pick up the soul-weary stone. That way, we don't have to risk running up the mountain."
The soul-weary stone is a very strange stone, with different sizes and shapes. It looks like a purple crystal and is very beautiful. Because it has the effect of blocking and suppressing the soul, it is called the soul-weary stone. The soul-weary stone is generally It is used to make defensive weapons to protect the soul, and its price is also very expensive. However, because it is only available in Fengdu City, and it is very difficult to obtain the soul-weary stone, the price of the soul-weary stone is still rising year by year, but The soul-weary stone has a limited effect on suppressing the souls of warriors. Most warriors above the martial arts level cannot use it, so it is not very popular. Nowadays, few people in Fengdu City take the risk to look for the soul-weary stone.
Zhang Yan and the others still ran quickly towards the mountain under the leadership of Yan Luo. After running for almost half an hour, Yan Luo suddenly stopped and said to Zhang Yan: "I think this place is deep enough. If we go further, If so, we won’t go out and quickly search around to see if there is a soul-weary stone.”
"There is not much time, so we must move quickly. Let's search separately and never leave each other's sight," Yan Luo reminded while counting the time.
Zhang Yan immediately lowered his head and searched quickly on the ground. However, there were many stones on the ground, and all kinds of stones were very complicated. It was really difficult to find the purple soul-weary stone among them.
Just when Zhang Yan and the others searched carefully for nearly ten minutes, but still found nothing, and Zhang Yan wanted to continue searching, Yan Luo shouted from the side: "That's it, that's it for today, it just doesn't work. We'll be looking for him tomorrow, and we're running out of time, so we'd better go down the mountain as soon as possible," he said and ran down the mountain at the top of his lungs.
Just when Zhang Yan was about to go down with him, Jingxinlian in the sea of consciousness suddenly said, "Boy, don't rush down the mountain first. The black mist with me here is of no use to you. Believe me, there is a mountain on the top of the mountain." A treasure is waiting for you, hurry up and go hunting for it with me."
Zhang Yan nodded when he heard this, "I believe you this time. My fortune and life all depend on you. If you lie, we will die here."
"Don't worry, how could I ask you to die? You are the person I want to train to become an Immortal Emperor. How can I bear to let you die when you are such a good seedling?" Jing Xinlian said confidently: "Believe in me. Yes, that thing on the mountain will be of great use to you.”
