Chapter 16: Up the Mountain

Wu Gen carried Sun Hong on his back and looked at a lonely mountain in the distance.

According to the waist plate, this solitary mountain is where the Wuhua Stone is located. The mountain is like a square pillar, standing straight between heaven and earth, with the edges as straight as a knife. The cliff reflects the morning light, like a huge chicken blood stone.

seal.

It had been two days since they crossed the river, but Sun Hong still couldn't sleep. A lock of white hair suddenly appeared on his head, which was a sign that he had spent too much energy. For two days, Wu Gen carefully took care of Sun Hong, originally thinking of feeding him.

A piece of Jade Flower Pill, but I was afraid that if I took too much supplement, it would harm his life.

It has to be said that Sun Hong is a wizard in arithmetic. Wu Gen even thought that if he really did something in the future, he would kidnap this kid and throw him in the back mountain to be an accountant.

Walking along the direction of Gushan, after walking for a long time, there was still no human figure around, not even the birds and beasts. If something went wrong, it would be a monster. Wu Gen's heart was raised, and he tied it tightly.

The rope on the body.

When we reached the foot of the mountain, we saw messy footprints and bloodstains on the ground. I leaned over and picked up a handful of soil and twisted it. The fishy smell was still strong, so there must have been a fight.

Looking back at Sun Hong, who was still unconscious, Wu Gen hesitated. This was the end of the trial, and there were no other powerful mechanisms. Sun Hong was unconscious now. If he was accidentally injured in the fight, he would be really sorry for his accountant.

Sir.

After thinking about it, he found a remote place, took out a broken knife and dug under a cliff. When he dug out a place suitable for the two of them to sit and rest, and settled Sun Hong, Wu Gen quietly closed his eyes.

Pranayama.

At the last stop, you must be careful and don't make the mistake of capsizing in the gutter again.

Rest for a night, take out the golden horn of the sandworm, and slowly sharpen the broken knife. It is both sharpening and meditation.

The golden horn has become a little thinner. I really don’t know what material this broken knife is made of. Even such a hard golden horn can be worn easily.

"Brother Wu, I've been sleeping for a few days." Sun Hong's weak voice came from behind.

"It's been three days, how do you feel?"

"I have a splitting headache. No wonder arithmetic is so rare and so troublesome. I can see there is a high mountain outside, but I have reached the end."

"Exactly, the Wuhua Stone is up there. You can rest here for the time being, and I will fetch the Wuhua Stone."

"Alas, with my current state, I'm afraid I can't go up the mountain together, so as not to drag Brother Wu down. I don't know if there are any more difficult levels on the mountain. Brother Wu, take care."

"Xiao's."

Now that Sun Hong was fine, Wu Gen was ready to go up the mountain to explore. After leaving the hiding place, he looked around and saw that there was nothing strange, and climbed up the mountain using his hands and feet.

The mountain road is rugged and full of strange rocks. Along the way, there are various dead trees with dark trunks and strange shapes, like monsters with teeth and claws.

The higher you climb, the more frightening you become. The surrounding area seems to have been burned by fire, and the rocks are also covered with a layer of black. It is completely silent, not even a sound of insects is heard, and there is a deathly atmosphere everywhere.

.

As the old saying goes, if there are no insects in the mountains, don't go alone. I don't know what kind of existence there is on the mountains, not even birds and beasts dare to stay.

Wu Gen took a deep breath, looked up at the top of the mountain that reached into the sky, and tightened his grip on the handle of the knife at his waist.

After crawling for an hour, a faint sound came from the front, like the chirping of insects in the wind, mixed with the sound of human moans.

He leaned down and touched it silently, hiding behind a boulder. Wu Gen slowly poked his head out and couldn't help but froze on the spot, what the hell is this.

On the road ahead, a monster that can only appear in nightmares is crawling around on the ground, moving very quickly and making weird sounds from time to time.

The monster has seven or eight long legs, with sharp and thick thorns growing at the ends. Going up along the long legs is the monster's body. The body is actually a wriggling mass of carrion, all gray and yellow, and covered with wrinkles.

Beside the mountain road, there were more than a dozen corpses of people and monsters lying on the ground. Each human corpse was extremely tragic and almost shapeless, showing the brutality of the killing.

After searching for a long time, the monster finally found a female corpse with a blackened body and a relatively complete body. After circling the female corpse, the monster stretched out its tentacles and put it on her neck. With a slight twist, it took off the head and gave it to itself.

above the body.

As soon as the head was touched, countless tiny buds sprouted from the carrion and wormed their way into the female corpse's head.

After a while, the head suddenly opened its eyes, which were pupilless, red and black, and suddenly came to life, laughing miserably. The monster that had the head seemed quite happy, circling and dancing wildly, jumping around.

Seeing such a weird situation, Wu Gen was shocked and horrified. Thinking about it carefully, the monster is similar to some strange beasts in Guixiao. No wonder he feels familiar. Could it be that the monsters in Guixiao should only exist in illusions?

It still exists in the world today.

If this is the case, the world will be in danger.

No, since there is such a monster here, it means that Zhao Guo must know the inside story. Then it is self-evident that the elite selected by this so-called road to death will eventually face the enemy.

Wu Gen quietly stepped back, trying to avoid the monster and go up the mountain. The mountain road was already narrow, but he accidentally slipped and a stone rolled down the cliff, making a series of rumbling sounds.

Kuye. Wu Gen secretly thought something was wrong, so he jumped out from behind the hidden rocks and rushed towards the mountain quickly.

The monster was also startled by this sudden turn of events, and froze on the spot, looking around. When he saw Wu Gen's figure, the ugly woman's face showed a look of joy, and she crawled quickly with her long legs and chased after him.

The mountain road was rugged, and the monsters walked as if they were on flat ground, even on steep cliffs as if they were flying, and the distance to Wu Gen shortened little by little.

Seeing that he could not escape from his opponent, Wu Gen ran a few steps and rushed straight to the cliff on the side. Using the force of his forward motion, he rushed upward along the straight cliff.

The monster chased it to the bottom of the cliff, clung to the protruding rocks, and followed like a spider.

After running upwards for seven or eight steps, Wu Gen stepped hard with his right foot, turned his body in a circle in the air, turned around and fell down. The moment he passed by the monster, the blade whizzed and slashed at the monster's body.

With a howl, the monster raised its two legs and crossed them over its head, blocking Wu Gen's attack. At the same time, it stabbed upwards with two other legs like spears, hitting Wu Gen's front door.

The monster was addicted to picking heads, and he actually took a fancy to Wu Gen's big head.

In the midst of lightning and flint, Wu Gen relied on the force of his counterattack to stagnate his body in the air and roll to one side. The broken knife turned from a straight slash to a horizontal slash, cutting off half of the monster's long legs. Once his body landed on the ground, he did not pause.

, and ran towards the mountain road on one side.

The monster on the cliff seemed to be enraged. It shrank its long legs, turned its body into a ball, and rolled down the cliff.

After falling to the ground, the monster raised its broken long leg, let out a sharp roar, leaped more than ten feet away, and bit Wu Gen tightly.

Wu Gen turned left and right and quickly shuttled between the rocks. He glanced sideways at the monster chasing after him. As he ran, he took out an arrow from the quiver on his back. Without looking, the arrow shot out like a shooting star.

monster.

The arrow hit the woman's head on the monster's body, causing a huge wound on her face. Her bun was disheveled, and brown juice flowed down, making her look even more ferocious.

When it comes to archery, Wu Gen is full of confidence. This is the old foundation left from hunting in the mountains since he was a child. Not to mention that he can shoot through a poplar at a hundred steps, but he is still quite confident within thirty steps. Even Zhang Yuan is

Much appreciated for this.

But something surprising happened to Wu Gen. The arrow landed on the monster's carrion, which was like Tai Sui, and actually slipped over. This happened after several attempts. Seeing that the arrows in the quiver were getting fewer and fewer, Wu Gen had no choice but to

Shoot the monster's long legs.

Fortunately, the long legs are not as tough as the main body. After a while, three or four legs were broken. Affected by this, the monster slowed down.

Seeing that it could not catch up with its prey, the monster stopped angrily, turned around and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, Wu Gen stumbled, tripped under his feet, and fell to the ground on his back with a plop.

Seeing such a situation, the monster was overjoyed and quickly turned around and returned. With a flick of its remaining long legs, its body rose into the air and pounced on Wu Gen on the ground like an evil tiger.

When the monster was about to fall, Wu Gen, who was lying on the ground, slapped the ground with his palm, raised the broken knife, held the handle of the knife tightly with both hands, and headed towards the monster in the opposite direction.

Stab, a series of sounds of cutting flesh were heard, and the sharp tip of the broken knife scratched the monster's abdomen. The body that could not be penetrated by arrows was easily broken open by the broken knife.

A ball of colorful fragments mixed with brown blood fell from the monster's abdomen.

With a thud, the monster fell to the ground, and its forward momentum continued unabated, leaving a long trail of blood behind it. After struggling for a few times, the monster stood up with support. The woman's head was full of panic, and black blood flowed from her mouth and nose.

of juice.

Long Legs smeared the juice on the wound on his abdomen. The granulations at the wound squirmed and the wound had a tendency to close.

At this time, the monster had no intention of fighting anymore and turned around and fled down the mountain.

How dare Wu Gen let him escape? He still understands the principle of killing evildoers.

Long arrows flew out one after another and hit the monster's leg. After kneeling for more than ten feet, the monster finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell to the ground.

Seizing the opportunity, Wu Gen walked as fast as flying, leaped high in the air, raised his knife and slashed hard at the monster's back.

A cold light flashed, and the monster screamed miserably, half of its body was almost cut off, and even the woman's head was split into two, with its two eyes still spinning around.

After a desperate struggle, the monster's remaining legs were dancing wildly, and Wu Gen had no choice but to abandon his sword and run away.

When he ran a dozen steps and looked back, he saw that the monster had not followed him. His body kept twitching, rolling back and forth on the ground, and his dancing long legs knocked the rocks next to him flying in all directions.

After half a stick of incense, the monster finally calmed down.

Wu Gen carefully stepped forward to take a look. From the huge wound, wisps of black smoke kept coming out. What was even more strange was that the broken blade of the knife, which was usually unremarkable, now glowed faintly red.

The monster's body shrank as if deflated, until it was only half its original size.

Taking out the knife, the broken knife trembled for a while, seeming to be very happy. I don't know if it was an illusion, but Wu Gen always felt that the rust on the knife was less.

Looking at the mess all around, Wu Gen couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. A small monster made him embarrassed. The strange beasts faced by the human race among the ghosts must be so terrifying.

When I transformed into someone else in the ghost world and used someone else's body, I didn't feel much. But after today's battle, I realized the difference between cloud and mud.

After taking a breath, Wu Gen continued to climb up the mountain. Along the way, he saw the bodies of people from time to time. He rummaged carefully and found that there was no waist tag on the body. Looking up at the top of the mountain covered with clouds and fog, Wu Gen looked a little ugly.

This shows that there are still people on the peak, and their cultivation level is not low.
