Chapter 716 Shortcut
At night, there are many weak fluorescent lights in the dense forest, some are emitted by fireflies, and some are not. Bing Zhixie walked to the left along the rift valley. He didn't know how long he walked until he felt a little tired, so he slowed down and thought to himself: "How long have you been walking? Has it been an hour?"
The woods are full of insects, and the sound of gurgling water is heard at the bottom of the valley.
Although it is said to be a walk, this walk is not an ordinary walk. Bing Zhixie walked much faster than a walk: "It should have been an hour, why haven't we arrived yet? He gradually stopped and looked ahead: "They were fooled! They must have noticed my shadow a long time ago and found out that I was following them. You said those words to deceive me, you damn bastard!”
Bing Zhixie turned around and ran back, but stopped after running a few steps: “I won’t be able to catch up with them at this time.” Maybe they have reached Beiwang Slope." He looked around, then took out the compass and looked at it: "Which direction should we go?"
At this time there were some noises in the woods.
Bing Zhixie was startled, thinking that the Iron Curtain Team was chasing after him, but then he thought that it was impossible, they would have been chasing him long ago.
A group of monsters slowly walked out of the forest, with gaping teeth and ferocious eyes. Most of the monsters in this secret forest are aggressive and not as docile as the monsters in the wilderness around the town.
“Damn it!” Bing Zhixie couldn’t help but curse. At this time, he didn’t want to have too much entanglement with these guys. He jumped into the air with a few empty steps, and used wind magic in his hand to hit the top of his head. The covering branches and leaves broke a big hole and flew out.
Standing above the dense forest, there is an endless forest at your feet. As the wind blows, the leaves make a rustling sound. Under the moonlight, you can occasionally see something rising in the woods, and you don't know what kind of monster that is nocturnal and is hunting.
Bing Zhixie looked at this forest with no direction at all. The trees here were completely different from the trees in the misty forest. In the misty forest, there were still many gaps between the woods, but the trees here were completely continuous. And the trees here are all about the same height, as if they are like neat wheat in a wheat field, like the sea.
"Where should we go?" Bing Zhixie looked at the compass, at least it was impossible to go back, but Firebird and the others tricked him into going left. The left is east, which is definitely not the case. He summoned the Emperor Dragon, landed on it, and flew in one direction...
The Emperor Dragon was very fast, but it still flew for a while before it reached the edge of the dense forest and looked at the open space outside the forest. Grassland and hillside, this is Beiwang Slope?
Of course not. First, Bing Zhixie did not believe that he had such good luck. Secondly, he learned from the hotel that Beiwangpo was not like this, and it was not outside the dense forest. He had no choice but to change direction and look back.
After searching for some time, Bing Zhixie stood on the dragon's spine, feeling a little angry but also helpless. He thought to himself: "It is impossible to find the location of Beiwang Slope from the air. , This dense forest is neither big nor small. You can't spend a few days or nights here, otherwise they won't spend money to hire a guide according to God's will. "But so what if we don't search from the air. manage? Go back to the jungle and start over? Or should we go back to the city to find a guide? Without a guide, this forest is just a maze. It will take another day or two to find a guide. I am afraid that by that time, something on Beiwang Slope will be taken away by the "God's Will" and "Night Pearl".
Seeing that the sky was about to break, Bing Zhixie sighed inwardly. He looked down at the sea of trees below that was still swaying slightly in the wind and was stunned for a while. Suddenly he saw a person jumping to the treetops. At first he thought it was some kind of monster jumping up, but upon closer inspection it was indeed a person. The person was looking over here, and a giant dragon apparently appeared out of thin air to attract his attention.
Bing Zhixie flew over.
The man was a little surprised to see a fifteen or six-year-old young man sitting next to him, but seeing that he had no ill intentions, he calmed down and looked him up and down.
Bing Zhixie looked like he was probably around sixty years old. He had gray hair and a gray beard. He was holding a very old but still bright thick sword in his hand. On his waist and shoulders With a lot of broken things on his hips, he asked: "Are you a hunter here?"
The old hunter looked at the dragon in the sky, then looked at him, nodded and said: "Yes, I am an old hunter here. I have hunted four times here." More than ten years of hunting.”
"That's great." Bingzhixie was delighted, thinking that since she was an old hunter here, she must be very familiar with this dense forest, so she hurriedly said: "Excuse me, can you take me to Beiwang Slope?"
The old hunter said: "This is Beiwang Slope."
Bing Zhixie was stunned: "Huh?"
"Actually, Beiwangpo is this dense forest, but I only pointed out the pit later." The old hunter said that at that time, Aipula Province was not a holy land. Part of Bikea, this area and a large area nearby are still one country. At that time, the country had been at war with San Vicoia for many years, and much of the land in the north had been eroded. Many refugees from the north fled to the south. They swore that they would retake their homeland, and they also gathered armies several times to prepare to go north. But in the end, they were defeated by the king. Being cowardly and under the pressure of Saint Vicoia, the army failed to make several northern expeditions. In the end, it could only look north and sigh, so it was called Beiwang Slope.
Bing Zhixie was not interested in hearing these historical allusions. After he finished speaking, he immediately said: "Then can you take me to Beiwangpo, which is now referred to as Beiwangpo, and I will reward you. ”
The old hunter said: "I can take you there, and there is no need for reward, but I have to prepare something first." Bing Zhixie said thank you, summoned Zafino, opened his left hand, and a magic circle took it back. .
I followed the old hunter for more than two hundred meters and came to a big tree. The old hunter stepped on the trunk and jumped to a large branch more than ten meters high, and then disappeared.
Bing Zhixie also jumped up. It turned out that there was a tree hole in the tree trunk, and a small tree house was taken out of it. There was not only a bed, a homemade small chair, but also a homemade Small cabinet. The wall has also been smoothed, and there are actually two picture frames hanging on it.
The old hunter said: "I often hunt in the woods, and sometimes I stay here for a long time, so I made a small nest. How about it, it's not bad."
"You stay here a lot, don't you go back to spend time with your family?" Bing Zhixie saw the picture frames on the wall. One was a picture of him and his wife when they were younger, and the other should be their family portrait. In the picture, except for him and his wife, His wife is older, and there is a boy and a girl in the middle. The daughter should be his son and daughter: "You have been a hunter for so many years, so your family should be well off."
"Why go back? There is no one at home." The old hunter sighed slightly, revealing his Lonely look: "My wife died of illness two years ago My daughter is married abroad and rarely comes back once or twice a year. My younger son is studying in a college in the provincial capital. At his age, he would rather spend the holidays with his classmates than come back to see me." The old hunter smiled bitterly: "Speaking of which, I think this place is more A home like mine must have stayed here for more than forty years!”
Bing Zhixie didn’t want to arouse any more emotion in his life, so he came outside the village house and found many iron cages hanging on the branches. Some are small, some are empty, and some have turned off World of Warcraft. Being a World of Warcraft hunter is a business without capital. If you can catch good prey, you can earn a lot of money. If you just catch ordinary goods, you won't make much money. This old hunter is still hunting here at such an old age, so he must be a capable person.
The old hunter was ready soon. He jumped down from the tree. Bing Zhixie had been waiting under the tree for a long time. He said: "It seems that you are in a hurry. Young people should not do things like this. Anxious."
Bingzhi smiled evilly: "No, it's just that the excrement of those monsters in the cage really doesn't smell good." He is not a person who is impatient when things happen, and even if he is impatient, he will not show it easily. .
"Haha, I don't think so because I'm used to it." The old hunter's smile was hearty: "Come with me. It's not very far from here to the pit. You'll get there soon. Let's go!" As he said this, he stretched out his body. , quickly swept in one direction.
The old hunter is indeed very familiar with this kind of closeness. Several times when Bing Zhixie saw that the road ahead was blocked by a big tree and he could not get through, he could find a gap to get through. As he said, this forest is his home. He knows every tree and every inch of land here.
Not long after, Bing Zhixie arrived at the rift valley several meters wide again. Unlike last night, he was now on the other side of the rift valley.
The old hunter said: "Go left along this valley and you will see a big rock. Then walk a little further in the direction of less trees and you will reach the big pit." What he meant by going left is that On the right side opposite the rift valley: "But I know a shortcut to get there faster."
Bingzhixie said: "You can't be talking about the river below."
"Smart." The old hunter asked, "Can you swim?"
"Yes." As soon as Bing Zhixie finished speaking, he jumped down, and Bing Zhixie jumped down quickly.
The river flows to the right, that is, countercurrent. However, Bing Zhixie and the others did not enter the water now. The old hunter stepped on the two walls and shuttled quickly through the rift like a black shadow. Bing Zhixie followed closely behind him with his air pedal.
But it didn’t take long for the rift to become narrower and narrower, until finally there was only a gap left above the head. The old hunter shouted from the front: "Ready." Then he threw himself into the water and dived.
Bing Zhixie took a deep breath and got into the water.
The water was cold, and this dense forest was already opaque, but it was still pitch black in the water. However, the old hunter quickly lit up the crystal on his clothes, guiding Bing Zhixie to follow him.
The water is very turbid, but not very deep. Through the crystal light, you can still see the scattered small fish in the water, the small shrimps caught on the rocks and the aquatic plants hidden in the water. turtle. Within a few seconds of entering the water, Bing Zhixie found himself swimming into a water hole. It turned out to be an underground river...
