Chapter 675 Test Flight
"Yes, we stand in the house and share the vision with the snail toad. What it sees, we can also see." Dong Rui patted the window, "These windows can observe the three directions behind, so there are no blind spots on all sides."
He Lingchuan said it was interesting. He has been chasing the snail toad for more than two months, but this is the first time he has entered the "snail dwelling". So this is how the magic tools of the ancient immortals are used?
"That's not right. Didn't the snail toad swallow a barn full of summer cypress in Zhitian Township?" He Lingchuan looked around, "This house is too small, it doesn't look like it can hold so many things."
"You underestimate the methods of the immortals in the past." Dong Rui chuckled, "Who told you that the 'snail dwelling' is only a small house? There are several large and small ones in the back. It was just that Xi Yunhe's men used to process prey in it, making it dirty and smelly, so I was too lazy to go in."
As he spoke, the snail toad had already plunged into the ground and started tonight's journey.
Today, Lingxu City has rained, which has brought a lot of convenience to its actions. There was only a burst of rain near Pianxiang Villa, but the heavy rain lasted for more than half an hour in the north of Lingxu City, and the ground was soaked.
The soil is moist, so the snail toad can travel long distances underground.
Otherwise, if he took Dong Rui away temporarily, he couldn't run too far, at most a few miles.
It was dark underground and there was nothing to see. He only knew that the snail toad moved very fast, and the horse was far inferior to it, and it didn't have to turn around, which was in sharp contrast to its slow movements on the ground.
The magic of the treasures of the ancient immortals is difficult for modern people to imagine and understand.
He Lingchuan wondered what would happen if the spiritual energy in the world was abundant again? Would the good times of ancient times come back?
In the past three thousand years, practitioners have been looking forward to it, but they couldn't wait for such a grand scene.
Yes, how can you wait for it just by "waiting"?
He felt that he hadn't been in a daze for long, and there was a change outside the window-the snail toad floated out of the ground.
The two left the hut and climbed out of the snail shell. Tonight, the clouds were thick and the sky was weak. The dense forest was pitch black, with only the grass and trees rustling in the wind.
Occasionally, an owl cried, sometimes far and sometimes near.
This was the forest outside Xushan Mountain, closer to Tianji Peak; the Tiangong Guard Camp was stationed at the foot of Tianshu Peak, far away from the two.
The mountains were hidden in the darkness, revealing only a little outline. And deep in the mountains was the place where the most powerful power in the world was. Even in the mountains and wild land, with only the wind and light rain around, Dong Rui subconsciously lowered his voice: "According to your request, this place is only 800 feet away from Tianji Peak."
The front was the territory of Xushan Mountain and Swamp, and the snail toad could not approach lightly.
It shrank when it floated to the ground. Dong Rui put it in his bag and carried it on his back.
"Why are you speaking so quietly? Are you a thief?" He Lingchuan patted the mirror on his chest, "Zhu Ju, I entered from the forest in the south of Tianji Peak. Where shall we meet?"
"South? Um--" Zhu Ju's voice sounded immediately, "Find me at the white cave next to the Ganoderma Lucidum Forest."
When Dahuan Sect was still an immortal sect, countless spiritual herbs were planted in the mountains, and Ganoderma Lucidum Forest was just the name of one of the immortal fields. But after the Middle Ages, spiritual herbs became scarce and could only be found in high-altitude areas. There were no spiritual herbs at the height of Xushan, and Ganoderma Lucidum Forest became a fixed check-in point for tourists.
He Lingchuan had been to Tianji Peak twice and knew roughly where Ganoderma Lucidum Forest was. At worst, there was a soul-catching mirror that patted his chest and said it could recognize the way and it could navigate.
The two put on masks and walked into the mountains in the dark under the cover of night.
The mask was specially made by the Lord of Songyang Mansion, which could block the prying of divine thoughts.
A quarter of an hour later.
Ju Ju asked: "Have we arrived yet?"
"Not yet."
After another quarter of an hour, Ju Ju asked again: "Have we arrived yet?"
"Ahem, not yet."
Ju Ju was puzzled: "Why are you so slow? Even a snail can crawl over here!"
"It seems that I have taken the wrong path." The first two times I came here, I walked on the mountain ridge. This time, I have to crawl through the valley. Looking from the mountain and walking down the mountain are two different things.
Besides, there is no moon tonight, and the gullies all look the same, a natural ghost wall.
Dong Rui was complaining: "I told you to take the left path, but you didn't believe it!"
Ju Ju: "..."
At this moment, He Lingchuan noticed from the corner of his eye that there was a flame passing by on the hillside.
It seemed to be a big fire monster, more than three feet high.
The magical thing is that although it was surrounded by flames, the surrounding trees did not catch fire, and even the leaves were not blackened.
This is the power of blessing the mountains and forests. As long as it doesn't want to, it will not burn the mountains and destroy the forests.
He Lingchuan said quickly, "You have an avatar that just passed halfway up the mountain, right above us."
The big fire monster immediately paused, looking around like a human, and then saw He Lingchuan. Then, it slid down the mountain wall and stopped in front of the two.
"Follow me." The angry voice of Ju Ju came from the fire man, "You have been circling for a long time, this is not the territory of Xushan at all!"
Otherwise, it would know immediately as soon as the two entered the mountain.
He Lingchuan shrugged and followed it with Dong Rui.
With the fire monster leading the way, the speed of travel was several times faster. This is the avatar that Ju Ju released for patrol at night to prevent his perception from being occasionally blinded. Xushan is not open to the outside world at night. One of the duties of the local mountain swamp is to drive away or capture invaders.
If He Lingchuan does not get its support, it will be extremely difficult for him to sneak up the mountain at night.
Passing by several low peaks, the fire monster asked the two to proceed carefully, because there were guards from the Heavenly Palace stationed on the peaks, and they would routinely look down.
Apparently, the Heavenly Palace did not dare to entrust the defense work entirely to Juju.
They walked like this for another two-quarters of an hour. After the two of them were covered with dew and their feet were covered with moss and mud, and then turned a narrow road, the front suddenly became clear——
What a wide valley.
The Ganoderma lucidum forest has arrived.
Two thousand years ago, Ganoderma lucidum and various fairy grasses grew here, and ginseng dolls and fairy mushrooms ran around everywhere in the valley.
Now, this is a wasteland with nothing except weeds, fungi and a few crickets.
There is a cave on the side of the mountain, and the rock at the door is white.
The fire monster retreated here and went to patrol elsewhere. He Lingchuan and Dong Rui continued to move forward and sneaked into the cave against the wall.
For humans, this is a dead cave, with no more than 200 steps to the bottom, but there are countless cracks on the mountain wall.
As soon as He Lingchuan walked in, he saw more than a dozen balls of fire "squeezing" out of the cracks in the rock. After landing, they were put back together again to form a huge rock fire monster.
What it transformed today was a semi-human form, that is, the upper body was like a human being, and below the waist was a ball of fire.
He Lingchuan turned to Dong Rui and said, "This is Xushan Shanze, Juju."
In fact, many tourists wandering around Xushan also come because of the legend of the rock fire monster, but only a few people are lucky enough to see it. Lord Juju is not interested in living people who cannot eat.
What He Lingchuan found most interesting was that no matter whether there were one or two visitors, it was always a grand event when he appeared, and he had to take the lead in terms of momentum.
Being so far away, Dong Rui also felt that the air around him was very hot, and the hair on his forehead was curling.
He Lingchuan introduced to Wei Ju: "This is my friend and my helper."
Now that the two sides were face to face, Wei Ju satirized him: "We are already cooperating, but you still don't want to show me your true face?" Previously, this guy threw his clone into the Soul Country without showing his face, and just kept talking to him from a distance; today we made an appointment to meet, and he actually He's still wearing a mask, he's really as cowardly as a mouse.
The masks of these two guys also have the ability to block spiritual thoughts, and they can't see through.
He Lingchuan smiled and said: "This is mutual protection!"
Di Ju snorted: "Have you calculated the position of the array eye?"
"Of course, aren't you here for a field test?"
"Follow me." Di Ju turned around and walked toward the cave.
Under the light of the fire around it, the two discovered that there was a large gap deep in the cave. It was not even a path, so they had to use their hands and feet.
Neither of them is fat, so they can barely squeeze in.
Fortunately, after squeezing in, the gap between the rocks became larger, and both of them had good cultivation. They climbed the rock and grabbed their roots, climbing more than fifty feet, and jumped into a platform.
From there, there is a ready-made tourist plank road to go up.
Of course, the Tiangong camp guards would occasionally come to inspect, but with local snakes covering the area, He Lingchuan could not meet them even once.
Soon, they abandoned the main road and climbed to the top of the wild mountain opposite Tianji Peak.
In order to avoid being too conspicuous, the body of the Juju was actually compressed to half a person's height, and the flames all over his body were restrained. He looked like a lit charcoal. Only the joints and a few fulcrums on the neck still had red light shining through. The other parts looked like they had been burned by fire. The scorched rocks are pitch black.
In this way, it hid in the dense woods and shrubs, and the camp guards on the opposite mountain peak could not see it.
Of course, being so sneaky on your own territory is all because of the two stowaways. Di Ju urged: "Hurry up and start!"
This guy has been in the mountains for thousands of years, and now he's in a hurry? He Lingchuan ignored it and said to Dong Rui: "I will give you some directions. If there is a star tonight, it should fly to Tianxuan Star." After saying that, he stretched out his hand and said, "Put the bat puppet up."
Dong Rui recognized the nine stars of the Big Dipper, but the clouds were so thick tonight and there was nothing on the sky. He could only rely on He Lingchuan's identification. Immediately, his shoulders sank, and the bat demon fluttered its wings and flew up.
He Lingchuan originally hoped that it would remain so inconspicuous in size and shape. It had just rained, and there were already a lot of bats flying low in Xushan. The demons were among them and did not attract anyone's attention.
But even if there was still some light in the sky, after the demon puppet flew ten feet up, even if He Lingchuan used his eyesight enough, he would not be able to see it anymore.
It's so small, and it's still black!
"Get a size bigger!"
When the demon puppet became the size of a dog, He Lingchuan was finally able to see it in the night sky.
"Go left...up...right, no, go left!"
"Fly down twenty feet and take a look."
Dong Rui: "There's nothing." It's just an empty sky.
"Why are you so anxious?" He Lingchuan followed the formula given by Dean Xu Shichu and silently calculated in his mind, "A little further to the left, yes, keep going left! No, we are about to hit the mountain."
Xu Shichu really believed in people and handed the same style to Sun Fuling two days ago to take it back and give it to He Lingchuan.
