Chapter 895 Dragon's Back Island

If it were not for these evil spirits, paving the road and building the bridge would have been completed in half a month.

Standing at the end of the hillside, everyone's eyes lit up:

There is an open plain ahead, which is not suitable for thousands of horses to gallop, but thousands of horses are no problem, and there are only weeds and few trees growing here.

Of course, grass is taller than people.

After the plain, there are undulating mountains, the ends of which plunge into the plain like blades. It is truly worthy of the name "Dragon's Backbone".

When you get here, it’s not just green. At the end of August, there are still wild flowers blooming on Longji Island, a brilliant sight.

In fact, life on the island is not extinct. At least He Lingchuan found groups of hummingbirds sipping nectar. They were all much larger than ordinary hummingbirds. Fresh water exposed to sunlight will be purified and will not harm these small animals.

But they are very wary and fly away as soon as they are far away from people.

At this moment, gray mist emerged from every corner of Longji Island and headed straight for He Lingchuan.

They were sucked in by the divine bone necklace, but the sun was still in the sky, so the gray mist evaporated as soon as it appeared, leaving no trace.

This method of purification is very convenient.

At this time the sun penetrated the clouds again.

When the hummingbirds sensed the danger, they immediately dropped their food and fluttered their wings into the sky, but some of them were slower. Fortunately, the gray fog passing by ignored them and only looked for He Lingchuan.

This human-shaped black hole sucked water like a long whale, quickly sucking up all the nearby Yin evil spirits, and then pointed to the southwest and said: "The fog evil spirits float from there."

The source of the thick fog is indeed the southwest corner of the island. Lu Xun didn't lie to him.

He was originally worried that Dafang Pot would stop smoking after they were full and leave them in the thick fog. But looking at it now, Dafang Hu accepts everyone who comes and eats as much as he wants.

Then he is still afraid of Qiuqiu? Let's go and find out.

With this divine creature beside him, He Lingchuan led everyone to stride southwest.

The journey was rugged and difficult, and we had to cross the Tiansheng Bridge and drill through the Water Curtain Cave. Fortunately, everyone in the team was strong and able to climb mountains and ridges as if they were walking on flat ground.

Even so, they walked for more than an hour and took several long detours before they arrived at the southwest end of Dragon's Back Island.

Compared with forest explorers in other places, they enjoy a kind of happiness:

No flies!

But there are also some strange-looking insects on the surface. They are inconspicuous, do not have wings, are not interested in humans, and do not seem to be afraid of evil spirits.

The ability of living things to adapt to their environment is truly amazing.

This is a low valley in the mountains. From a distance, everyone can see that a large hollow has collapsed in the dense forest.

Tao Ran murmured: "I'll go, is it so big?"

He Lingchuan recognized at a glance that the huge hole was the "Sinkhole" that Lu Xun called. It even had a special name:

Baiyuan.

The entrance of the cave is an irregular oblate shape with a diameter of 100 feet. Everyone standing here can look at the jagged solid rocks inside.

It's like a monster's mouth wide open.

He Lingchuan stood on the hillside, about a mile away from the tiankeng, and saw the gray mist from the forest and tiankeng below rolling out and rushing towards him, but it disappeared under the sunlight.

The fog here is so thick that it turns black.

Moreover, the forest around the sinkhole was probably dense and dark, giving the gray fog room to hide.

The gray fog in the tiankeng was extremely abundant, and it gradually faded away after a quarter of an hour of rushing out.

At this moment, strange howls sounded in the forest, like crows crowing at night, and like babies crying, one after another.

Qiu Hu also saw that the big trees in the forest were moving without any wind, and they were making rustling noises, as if something was running towards them.

The number is quite a lot.

"Is that Yin Hao?"

Everyone grabbed their weapons and stood ready.

After a while, many swaying figures emerged from the shadows of the woods.

There are black, gray, and black and white patterns.

He Lingchuan thought it was a big snake at first, but when he took a closer look, I'll strangle him!

These ghosts are like snakes, legless, slender and scaly. They even move in the same way as snakes, twisting and turning.

But they have four arms!

Moreover, when they walk, their upper half also stands upright, like a human torso, with slightly convex shoulder bones.

The neck is like a cobra, round and flat.

The smallest of these monsters is about one foot long, some can reach three feet, and their torsos are thicker than buckets.

They were all huddled at the edge of the forest, under the shade of the trees, glaring fiercely at He Lingchuan and the others, but they refused to take another step forward.

Ahead is the ground filled with sunlight.

There were one or two who were so excited that their arms accidentally touched the beam.

With a scoff, everyone saw smoke coming from them with their own eyes.

These two things seemed to have been burned and shrank rapidly.

"These things are just like gray mist, afraid of the sun!" Lingguang understood. "The shady snakes originally like cold places. These shady snakes have lived on Longji Island for many years and have become accustomed to the existence of yin evil spirits. We suddenly put the shady ghosts into the cold place. If the evil spirit is removed, they will feel uncomfortable."

But no matter how uncomfortable these things are, they can't rush across the open sunshine area to settle accounts with He Lingchuan and others.

The gray fog emerging from the forest is getting less and less, and it is obvious that the stock is about to bottom out.

The anemids crowded under the shade of the trees were getting denser and denser, ready to move, and their cries became more and more shrill. It reminded He Lingchuan of the swarms of sardines squeezing together.

Qiu Hu looked up at the sky, a little worried:

"My lord, it will be dark in another hour and a half."

If they are still on the island and there is no sunlight blocking their way, 90% of them will rush over to eat people.

The enemy had too many people, and it was their home ground at night, so they had no advantage at all.

It was fine that the treasure on Young Master He could absorb the Yin Sha, but could it absorb the Yin Hu as well?

Before He Lingchuan could speak, a sharp roar suddenly came from the tiankeng.

It was loud and sharp, covering the voices of other Yin Hu.

He Lingchuan waved his hand: "Observe for a while."

The gray fog in the forest had probably dispersed, and the sunlight was very strong, and it did not penetrate into the clouds. Otherwise, the four of them would have turned around and fled at this time.

The Yin Hu in the shade of the trees was restless, and dozens of them shook their heads and tails, looking crazy and as if they were in pain.

Finally, they even jumped out of the woods and rushed towards He Lingchuan and others!

The sunlight in the sky shone on them, just like quicklime meeting water, and a lot of white steam burst out.

Their originally smooth scales peeled off quickly, and the flesh exposed to the sun quickly turned black and burned...

In just seven or eight breaths, the huge red snake was burned like charcoal, fell to the ground and twitched a few times, and never moved again.

The sun is simply their nemesis.

But they still rushed out one after another. Was it because they were driven by the roar in the tiankeng, or was it because they were too painful and couldn't bear it?

"I was wrong." Lingguang saw this scene and said, "The relationship between Yin snakes and gray fog is probably like fish and water. If you take away all the gray fog, they will become fish out of water, and the pain is unbearable."

It's death anyway, trying to attack He Lingchuan and others is better than continuing to suffer from suffocation.

But as soon as the voice fell, another long howl came from the tiankeng, and the Yin snakes looked up to the sky, and they didn't rush, but hid back in the shadows.

They really listened to the command.

Mrs. Zhu suddenly said: "There are dark clouds floating in the east, I'm afraid we don't have an hour and a half."

It turned out that these monsters were waiting for cloudy days. Once the dark clouds cover the sun, they can chase everyone.

He Lingchuan turned around immediately: "Let's go."

Two fists are no match for four hands. These ghosts are indeed born with an extra pair of hands.

Everyone raised their true strength and turned around to run.

They are very skilled and can walk on flat ground in this wilderness.

The howling behind them is getting farther and farther away. Lingguang lay on He Lingchuan's shoulder: "What's in the sinkhole?"

Others are running for their lives, only it is the most leisurely.

He Lingchuan glanced at Aunt Zhu after hearing this: "Maybe it's the king of Yin Vipers?"

This kind of group monster, it would be strange if there are not one or two leaders. Aunt Zhu is an example.

Aunt Zhu snorted: "Next time, call my sister to come and bring her army of spider monsters to see who has more people and more power!"

He Lingchuan asked curiously: "Why don't you build an army?"

"I don't like it!" It moves freely with a spider, how neat and tidy it is, unlike my sister who has to move a family with her, how can she mobilize a large army to move a house?

Tao Ran reminded, "The clouds in the sky are coming!"

And they still had half the journey to go.

Aunt Zhu was dissatisfied, "You are too slow, all get on my back."

He Lingchuan and others were already very agile among the practitioners, but they were still despised by her, so they had to jump onto the giant spider and carefully avoid its spikes.

Being stabbed by these spikes would probably hurt more than being bitten by a snake, right?

"Hold on tight!" Just as they passed a cliff, Aunt Zhu casually said, and took the three passengers and jumped -

It had the power of a jumping spider, and this time it jumped more than 30 feet in the air, like a cloud and mist.

But after jumping and standing, it still fell down.

The wind whistled in their ears, and Tao Ran and Qiu Hu's faces changed color.

Landing freely like this, even with Aunt Zhu cushioning them below, the three of them would not escape death.

But Aunt Zhu then sprayed out a few strands of spider silk with a whoosh, attached to several large trees.

It almost swung past the ground.

Just like that, jumping and swinging, running all the way to the shore, the speed is more than three times that of He Lingchuan and others!

Wasn't it this skill that Aunt Zhu relied on to take He Lingchuan away from Xushan?

Now the pursuers behind are just Yin Hu, not gods from the Heavenly Palace, so it feels very at ease.

He Lingchuan took the Eyeball Spider to contact the sea ship, which always circled the island and moved forward with them. At this moment, He Lingchuan instructed them to stop at the bottom of the cliff at the southwest end of Longji Island.

In less than two quarters of an hour, Aunt Zhu rushed to the cliff with three people and jumped back to the boat with a high swing.

"Let's go!"

Without He Lingchuan's order, everyone pulled the rope and raised the oars and rowed quickly.

Tao Ran hung up the canvas, and Aunt Zhu recited a wind-calling formula.

A strong wind blew, pulling the boat northward, and the speed was so fast.

After sailing two hundred feet, Lingguang pointed to the back and said: "Yin Hu has entered the water!"

At this time, dark clouds covered the sun.

He Lingchuan looked back and saw countless black dots jumping into the water on the beach of Longji Island.

Needless to say, the pursuers were coming.

It seemed that these snakes were also good swimmers.
