Qin Feng knew what the so-called flower demons and tree spirits were, but the people in the venue did not have the same knowledge as him. After hearing Yao Er's words, all of them had a look of fear on their faces.
"Mr. Lu, what do you think?" Qian Yuandan, who originally thought he was just going to the mountains for fun, finally became serious.
Although Qian Yuandan will gain a lot of contribution points in the family by completing this mission, Qian Yuandan is not willing to risk his life.
"Because even if he doesn't become the clan leader, Qian Yuandan can still become the family elder for the last time. With the same power, he can enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth, so his life is very precious.
"According to the news from home, those things seem to have fallen outside the Three Realms Mountains"
Lu Fenglei pondered for a moment and then said: "Let's look for it in the periphery first. If it's not found, then exit. Young Master, you have three years of experience. Don't worry, just in this day and night"
As a member of the Qian family¡¯s highest armed force, Lu Fenglei knows many things that outsiders don¡¯t know. Yao Er¡¯s words just now reminded him of the horror of Sanjie Mountain.
As mentioned before, the five major clans have never given up looking for a way to the outside world since they destroyed the royal family of Qindu. They have also launched several large-scale explorations of the Three Realms Mountains.
The most recent one was more than ten years ago. At that time, after decades of rest and reorganization, the five major clans had recovered some of their strength from the loss of soldiers and generals in the attack on the royal family of Qindu. Each family had five or six Huajin masters.
After consultation, each of the five major clans selected five Huajin masters and divided them into four teams to conduct large-scale surveys of the three Jedi and the ocean in this space, hoping to find a road to communicate with the outside world.
These three Jedi are the Sanjie Mountain located in the Qian family's territory. The Xiantianhe located in the Zhao family's territory is located in Qin's Tianjue Ridge. As for that sea area, it is called the Endless Sea.
The five major clans at that time could be said to be all their best, and all the resources in the family were used on these five teams. After more than a year of preparation. Five teams entered these four desperate areas.
At that time, Lu Fenglei was on the verge of breaking through the transformation of energy, so he did not accompany these teams to the Four Jedi, but stayed in the Qian family for retreat.
Half a year later, when Lu Fenglei came out of seclusion, he found that the entire Qian family was wearing mourning and mourning. After asking, he found out that it was a team that went out to explore the four Jedi six months ago and suffered heavy casualties.
Sanjie Mountain is located in the hinterland of the Qian family. Naturally, the Qian family's Huajin master led the team to search.
"And among the more than a thousand people from the Qian family who entered Sanjie Mountain, hundreds died on the way, and hundreds more died on the cliff that blocked the road. Almost no one out of ten escaped alive in the end.
Only one of the five great masters of Huajin returned to the Qian family alive. Not only the Qian family, but also the other families suffered heavy losses. In particular, the fleet of the five major clans that jointly explored the Endless Sea was completely wiped out.
Thinking of this. Lu Fenglei couldn't help but sigh. It was precisely because his son and daughter-in-law died in that fleet that his old friend Zhang Xiaotian turned against the Qian family, and he and Zhang Xiaotian turned against each other.
After Yao Er's words brought back memories of past years, even though Lu Fenglei was a master of energy transformation, he couldn't help but feel a little afraid of this mountain. After all, more than one person who had transformed his strength and cultivated his abilities died here.
"Okay, then I'll listen to you, Mr. Lu!" After hearing Lu Fenglei's words, Qian Yuandan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The throne of the patriarch is very tempting. But that also requires someone to have the life to sit on it.
Lu Fenglei stood up and said, "Yao Er, let's keep walking. Try not to camp in the woods at night!"
Following Lu Fenglei¡¯s order, the group stood up, but this time the burden on Qin Feng¡¯s shoulders became much lighter, while the Qian brothers had several more packages in their hands.
As time went by, the mountain road became more and more difficult to walk, and the gap between the group of people also widened.
Yao Er, who was leading the way, and Lu Fenglei, Qian Yuandan and others who were empty-handed, walked at the front, while Qian Yi and others walked in the middle because of their weak kung fu and lack of physical strength. They were two feet away from Qian Yuandan and others. Thirty meters.
As for Qin Feng, he was panting and hanging at the back. He was already more than a hundred meters away from the people in front. He could only judge the route by the silhouettes of people disappearing and appearing on the hillside.
"Master, they are going the wrong way" Zhang Hu slowed down at some point and waited for Qin Feng on the hillside.
"Huzi, what's wrong?"
Qin Feng looked at Zhang Hu with some surprise. When he was carried out of the mountain by Zhang Hu, he couldn't move at all.?I can distinguish this mountain road which is almost always filled with trees.
"We should go from the Tiger Liangzi side. Second Uncle Yao took a sidetrack."
Zhang Hu pointed to a high mountain on the opposite side and said, "Climb that mountain and walk a mile or two further on the mountain road. That's where I met you, Master."
"It doesn't matter if we take a side road, we can't let them see those things so quickly" Qin Feng looked up at the people above, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
"Master, that old man wants to accept me as his disciple, what should we do?"
Zhang Hu had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. If there was no road ahead and even Lu Fenglei picked up the machete to clear the road, he would not have the chance to stay here and wait for Qin Feng.
Not to mention that Zhang Hu had already worshiped Qin Feng as his teacher. Even if this had not happened, he would not have worshiped Lu Fenglei as his teacher. After all, his grandfather was injured by Lu Fenglei back then.
"Huzi, how far is it from the man-eating tree?"
Qin Feng pondered for a moment and asked. Although he is now at the late stage of An Jin, and can only reach the goal with one last kick, he is still not Lu Fenglei's opponent.
What's more, the other party also has people with Mingjin cultivation like Qian Yuandan. If he really takes action, Qin Feng will definitely lose but not win.
So Qin Feng wondered if he could use the terrain in the mountains to trap Lu Fenglei and others, and then secretly kill him. Qin Feng, who has inherited the killer sect, will not talk about the rules of the world here.
"Master, the flower demon and tree spirit can run away. Who knows where they will appear?"
After hearing Qin Feng¡¯s words, Zhang Hu shook his head and said: ¡°Like miasma, it¡¯s usually found in deep mountains. But it¡¯s hard to tell about flower demons and tree spirits. I¡¯ve seen them once on the outskirts of the mountain¡±
Zhang Hu once shot a mountain deer. Because the shot was not in the right position, the mountain deer took the wooden arrow and ran up the mountain. Naturally, Zhang Hu and Zhang Hu were not willing to let the prey run away, so they followed closely behind.
Just when Zhang Hu was about to catch up with the injured mountain deer. However, he suddenly heard a miserable hiss from the mountain deer. He looked closely and found that more than ten branches and vines had wrapped around the mountain deer and hung it in the air.
The most terrifying thing is that the roots of several branches and vines penetrated into the body of the mountain deer. After just a few minutes, the mountain deer shriveled up, but all the blood in its body was sucked out by those branches and vines.
This scene frightened Zhang Hu to death. From then on, every time Zhang Hu walked to this place. They always took detours, and several times when they looked from a distance, they could still see the bones of many beasts piled up on the ground.
"A vine that sucks blood?"
After hearing Zhang Hu¡¯s words, Qin Feng also felt a shudder. After all, he had heard that man-eating trees were only in science textbooks, which was completely different from having such a plant around him.
"Master, that and the tree spirit seem to be on this road!" Zhang Hu took a look at the direction and said with certainty: "That's right. It's this road, just go over this ridge"
"oh?"
Qin Feng¡¯s eyes flickered. He was a little hesitant because he didn't know how powerful the man-eating tree was. If he could trap Lu Fenglei, Qin Feng would be sure to kill everyone else.
"Master, do you want to give them all" Zhang Hu made a gesture of wiping his neck, but the look in his eyes was not that of fear. But a glow of excitement.
"Aren't you scared, kid?" Qin Feng looked at Zhang Hu strangely. He didn't expect that the apprentice he had accepted was still a bloodthirsty guy.
"Don't be afraid!" Zhang Hu shook his head and said: "This is a place where people eat people. When my grandfather and I entered the mountain, we had already killed people"
"Huh? What's going on?" Qin Feng has not heard Zhang Hu mention this matter. He couldn't help but asked strangely: "Huzi, there aren't many outsiders in this mountain, right?"
"Why not? There are plenty."
Zhang Hu shook his head and said: "The tiger skins, fire fox skins, and precious medicinal herbs in the mountains can be sold for a lot of money outside. Many people go to the mountains to hunt and collect herbs"
In this barren place, the pressure of survival has always shrouded the hearts of people living here. Hunting in the mountains can not only obtain meat, but also exchange furs for food.
So not only the people in these small mountain villages depend on the mountains for food, but there are also many people from outside who go to the mountains to collect herbs and hunt.
"However, these people are a little unruly. If they encounter someone alone or young or old, they will often kill people and steal goods. I don't know how many people in the mountains have turned into fertilizers for vegetation."
Zhang Hu and his grandfather had met once before. It was two years ago when they were collecting herbs in the mountains.?I saw some precious medicinal materials in Zhang Hu's medicine basket, and I couldn't help but have evil thoughts.
It¡¯s just that no matter how bad Uncle Zhang is, he is still a master of secret strength. The two people didn¡¯t expect that they would be kicked onto the iron plate. After a few moves, they were subdued by Uncle Zhang.
It was at that time that Zhang Hu was taught a good lesson by his grandfather, learned the jungle law of the jungle, and stabbed a wooden knife into a person's heart with his own hands.
"The old man is really capable of being cruel!"
After hearing Zhang Hu's words, Qin Feng couldn't help but show a strange look on his face. Zhang Hu two years ago was only eleven or twelve years old at that time, but Uncle Zhang actually let him kill someone.
"Grandpa said, if you want to live here, you can only be stronger and more ruthless than others!" Zhang Hu touched the wooden knife at his waist, with a look of maturity on his face that was completely beyond his years.
"It seems it's really difficult to survive here"
Qin Feng sighed and said: "Huzi, if you can really go out in the future, you must remember that you can't kill indiscriminately outside!"
"If others kill me, can't I kill others?" Zhang Hu looked puzzled. Obviously, Qin Feng's words were completely different from the education he had received since childhood.
¡°It depends on the seriousness of the circumstances. If you are a heinous person, you don¡¯t have to hold back"
Qin Feng said patiently: "But if the other party is not guilty enough to die, you can't kill him, you just need to subdue him."
"Oh, I know, Master!"
Although Zhang Hu still didn't understand Qin Feng's words, he still nodded and said, "Master, the old man wants to take me to Qian's house. What should I do?"
"What should I do? Don't do anything!"
Qin Feng slapped Zhang Hu on the head in a funny way. Lu Fenglei's cultivation level did not even dare to provoke him, and Zhang Hu had no room to resist in front of him.
"Master, how about let's run away secretly."
Zhang Hu glanced around and said: "I am familiar with the roads in the mountains. Let's run to Grandpa and never return to the village again. They can't find us"
For Zhang Hu, who has lived in the mountains since childhood, the outskirts of Sanjie Mountain are too familiar. As long as he finds a place to hide, even Yao Er will not be able to find him.
"This" Qin Feng raised his head and glanced. He had just heard Zhang Hu say that the man-eating tree was in front, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved. Maybe that was an opportunity for him.
"Huzi. Does your second uncle Yao know the place of the man-eating tree?" Qin Feng suddenly asked.
"You shouldn't know, right?" Zhang Hu's expression changed and he said, "This place goes to the mountains. Uncle Yao and the others won't take this road. I'm not sure if he knows"
"Master, we still have to follow. II can't let my second uncle be in danger."
He can be cruel to people like Lu Fenglei, but he has been watched by people in the village like Yao Er since he was a child, and they are like family members. Zhang Hu, however, could not watch Yao Er encounter the man-eating tree.
"Huzi, go to the front"
Qin Feng thought for a moment. He said, "Remember, when you get to the man-eating tree, no matter what method you use, you have to make Uncle Yao step back."
"Okay, Master, I remember it!"
Zhang Hu¡¯s eyes lit up. He sped up a bit, and after a few steps ahead of Qin Feng, he turned back and said, "Master, do you want me to help you pick a path?"
"You brat, you can pick me up. Master, can't you pick me up?"
Qin Feng laughed and cursed when he heard this, but his heart felt warm. Although this apprentice was a bit ruthless, he still did an excellent job in respecting his master.
"Huh? Zhang Hu, where were you just now?"
Lu Fenglei looked back at Zhang Hu, his expression a little unsightly. He was really afraid that Zhang Hu would have an accident and lose his life. Then he would never be able to meet such a qualified apprentice again.
"I'm tired, take a rest!" Zhang Hu replied angrily, took a few steps forward and said, "Second uncle, let me help you clear the way!"
Because there are many trees in the mountains, especially in places where few people come, there are no roads. You have to use a hatchet to cut off the vines before people can walk across.
Lu Fenglei used a scimitar made of fine steel, which made driving effortless, but Yao Er held a wooden knife made of iron and wood. He was already sweating profusely as he walked along.
"Huzi, I don't need you. Second uncle is fine!" Seeing Zhang Hu coming over, Yao Er quickly shook his head.
??The most dangerous thing is to open a road in the mountains, because no one knows what is hidden in the bushes ahead.If you are not careful, you may be bitten by snakes and insects. Just now, Yao Er was almost bitten by a poisonous snake called "Five Step Down".
"Second uncle, it's okay. It's not like you don't know that I often go into the mountains" Zhang Hu had already squeezed to Yao Er's side and reached out to grab the wooden knife in his hand.
"Hey, you kid, I really don't need it!"
Yao Er was caught off guard by Zhang Hu and snatched the wooden knife away. He quickly reached out and snatched it away. If a man as big as him let a child clear the way, he would be laughed at when he returned to the village.
But Yao Er didn't notice. Just when he stretched out his hand, the wooden knife in Zhang Hu's hand inadvertently pointed the blade at his arm and swung it down seemingly accidentally.
"Ouch!"
As Yao Er screamed in pain, blood spattered from his arm. The wooden knife could cut dead branches and vines, not to mention flesh and blood, and directly opened a gash.
"Second uncle, I'm sorry I I didn't mean it." Zhang Hu quickly dropped the wooden knife, hugged Yao Er's arm, and said, "Second uncle, I'm really sorry, I I'll cover it for you superior¡¡"
"Incompetent bungler!"
Seeing that Zhang Hu's kindness was not helpful, Lu Fenglei couldn't help but laugh. He finally saw that although Zhang Hu had Ming Jin's cultivation, he still had the mind of a child after all.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Yao Er was also a little dumbfounded. Zhang Hu was so kind that he couldn't bear to blame him.
"Young Master Qian, this I'm really sorry!"
Yao Er looked at Qian Yuandan behind him apologetically. Although the injury on his arm was not serious, the wound happened to be on the arm that exerted force, but he could not swing the wooden knife to open the way.
"Qian Yi, you guys help Mr. Lu take turns to clear the way"
Qian Yuandan called out bad luck. They were already walking very slowly. Now that the guide was injured, they didn't know when they would be able to find those things that fell from the sky in this mountain.
"Yes, young master!"
After Qian Yi and others who caught up heard Qian Yuandan's words, they couldn't help but cursed Zhang Hu in their hearts. You know, even if they didn't do anything, they were almost exhausted.
However, Qian Yi and others did not dare to disobey Qian Yuandan's words. They could only pick up the wooden knife and start driving in front. Of course, the speed was so slow that even Qin Feng, who was hanging behind, They all caught up slowly.
It took more than two hours for everyone to cross the mountain ridge. It was already around five o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was gradually setting towards the west mountain.
"Huh? That's the man-eating tree that Huzi said yes to?"
After climbing over the mountain ridge and walking down for less than two miles, a dense jungle appeared in front of the group of people.
On the left side of the jungle, there is an endless slope. The slope is full of flowers. From a distance, it looks like a sea of ??flowers¡ª¡ª
