Chapter 22 Death
The lush woods exude vitality and give people infinite hope. In it, if it hadn't been for the fatigue on his body and the copper lamp in his hand, Nie Feng would almost have thought he had a terrible nightmare last night.
But obviously, that's a real existence.
Whether it is Nie Feng or others, they all have this feeling.
"Boss, which way shall we go?" Looking at the route revealed by the ancient trees with crisscrossed with canine teeth in front of him, Gao Tianyi couldn't make a choice.
"Deal by feeling."
Nie Feng waved his hand, stepped in a direction at will, and ran quickly. Although they are tired after a night's rest, they have no food and energy to supplement. They just sleep, which is not good.
So, now they need to get out of the woods as soon as possible or find something to eat.
After a while, they rushed out of the woods safely and climbed to the top of a mountain that was not high or low. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can see the scenery in the distance.
In the distance is the undulating beautiful mountains and rivers, with beautiful trees and lush greenery. Near the top of the mountain, there are strange-shaped rocks and strong ancient trees, as well as old vines with thick buckets, such as dragons coiled around the mountain wall and ancient wood.
And there are green grass and fragrant wild flowers everywhere.
It is full of vitality and vitality. Compared with the dead sand before, it is undoubtedly a peaceful and pure land.
"Finally, it's finally out!"
"To live, there is hope. However, the dead..."
"It's their life, but it's good to be alive!"
Everyone was moved by the vitality in front of them and sighed one after another, as if they had been reborn. They hugged each other, gave each other high-fives, and laughed and talked about the future. Their hearts have been transformed after a night of baptism.
"Rong"
Suddenly, the stone tripod on the sand far away from everyone made a violent tremor, which suddenly made everyone's relaxed nerves tense, and their faces changed dramatically. They looked back together.
They stood on the top of the mountain and could faintly see the sand shrouded in black fog. Especially Nie Feng, who has amazing eyesight, can clearly see the seven unicorns burning with rolling flames lying on the sand.
The ancient stone tripod is constantly shaking.
Like the seven unicorn corpses in the flame mountains, they continue to sink into it as the sand boils like boiling water. The ancient tripod, which was connected by a thick iron chain, was also driven to slowly sink down.
'Boom, boom, boom'
The sand is like a fierce monster, devouring the corpse of the unicorn and the ancient tripod. Before long, the body of the unicorn and the ancient tripod disappeared. Immediately, the sand also recovered as before, showing a dead silence.
However, the previous ruins have already been swept by the storm, making the sand bare.
Swallowing the body of the unicorn in the sand means that Nie Feng and others have no tools to go back. This discovery makes people looking at each other and sighs infinitely.
"How can we go back?"
"Do you really want to go back and miss the days of being a bandit?"
"That's not--"
Everyone discussed it and soon left the matter of losing the return tool behind. Only Gao Tianyi stared at the sand in a daze. Of course, Nie Feng knows that he is missing his wife and son at this moment.
"God's righteousness,"
Nie Feng patted Gao Tianyi on the shoulder and said with a smile, "There is nothing difficult in the world, but I'm afraid of people with intentions. Mrs. Lin and others are all immortals, different from mortals. As long as we work hard, there will always be a day when we go back.
"Boss, I understand! It's just that there are some feelings." Gao Tianyi quickly recovered and said, "Did the boss find that the storm last night was very strange? Obviously, it is the first time that such a storm has occurred in countless years.
Nie Feng looked at the bare sand and nodded, "Yes, it may have something to do with the seal. However, it has nothing to do with us now."
"Hmm." Gao Tianyi withdrew his doubtful eyes and looked at the surrounding environment with everyone.
"Look, there is a stone tablet..." At this moment, one of them suddenly exclaimed.
Everyone looked at it quickly and saw a few strong ancient trees in a pile of rocks on the top of the mountain, accompanied by several thick-waisted old vines. Between the stacks of vines, half of the broken stone tablet is there, and the traces of artificial polishing are obvious.
Nie Feng hurried over, pulled away the withered vines, and brushed off the remnants and leaves on the broken tablet. Suddenly, the stone tablet was filled with ancient meanings. Four stone carved ancient characters, the pen is strong and condensed, as strong as a dragon, with the breath of the years.
I don't know how many years this stone tablet has existed.
"What is this word?" Many people don't know each other.
Nie Feng looked at it carefully for a moment before he could guess and said, "It seems to be the word 'defeated'."
"There seems to be text or patterns under this broken tablet, but it has been broken." The little demon pulled open the vines, removed the weeds, and found a lot of gravel below, as if it had been smashed by the thunder.
"'Fight to death'..."
Everyone showed a thoughtful and puzzled look. But the word "dead place" makes people have a lot of bad associations, which makes people faintly worried.
"But it doesn't matter. We're already out."
When Ula saw that everyone was afraid again, he quickly said something to calm people down. He pointed to the stone tablet in front of him and said, "This should be the boundary stone. We have come out of the 'dead', and there is nothing to worry about."
"Ula is right..."
While Nie Feng spoke, he suddenly made a new discovery. He pointed his finger to the distant sky and exclaimed, "Look, what is that?"
At a glance, everyone saw an eagle hovering in the sky. But it is very special, shining with golden light all over. Even if it is far away, it can still feel the strength of its body.
It is like gold casting, and the whole body is shining with gold.
And its sharp eagle claws give people a kind of coldness.
At this time, the golden eagle, after hovering in the sky for a while, suddenly swooped into a mountain. Immediately, a 'buzz' drove the air to fluctuate and rose to the sky, but there was already a prey in the claws, and then flew towards a cliff in the distance.
"What kind of eagle is that? There are no such monsters in the fairyland.
Gao Tianyi stammered, and his mouth was dry. They are far away from each other, but they can also feel the surging power in the eagle's body. But this power is completely different from the fairy power of the fairyland.
It seems that it is more advanced, more... barbaric.
"I'm afraid it's not an eagle, it's Peng. It's Dapeng!"
Nie Feng calculated the volume of the eagle through the distance and immediately knew that it was Dapeng. However, this roc is much stronger than the golden-winged roc he met in the mortal world.
"What is its prey?" After thinking for a moment, everyone still couldn't understand why there was such a powerful roc here.
"It should be a divine elephant." Nie Feng gave a more confusing answer.
Everyone calmed down and digested what they had just learned. Then, they had to think about two questions: "What kind of world is this? Where did we come to?"
There is no fairy spirit here, only a kind of strong and unabsorbable free energy.
There is a dead place here, and a super storm will break out.
There are also huge, powerful roc birds and gods used as food by roc birds.
In this calm forest, there is a huge crisis.
Thinking of these problems, and the road ahead was uncertain, everyone held the objects in their hands tightly. But at this moment, all the objects have been dim, and even cracked, and there are unbearable cracks.
They are completely destroyed.
However, after seeing their powerful power, Nie Feng and they never thought of throwing them away. If one day, these objects can be repaired and reunited, they will become their most powerful weapons.
"Look around to see if there is any food that can replenish energy."
At this moment, everyone is very tired, their hands and feet are like lead, and it is very difficult to walk. Therefore, under Nie Feng's greeting, he began to search around the top of the mountain to see if he could find any fruit or other food.
As long as there is food, everyone's physical strength will recover quickly.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, on the side of the top of the mountain, there was a little demon's exclamation. Everyone hurried there and saw Xu Kedi and Xu Jintian lying weakly in the pile of rocks. Their bodies are full of scars and burn marks.
There are remnants of objects beside them.
"Water...water!"
Xu Kedi and Xu Jintian are obviously more miserable than Nie Feng. They can't move at all, and their dry lips have begun to turn black. When they saw Nie Feng and others, they suddenly gave birth to a hope and looked at Nie Feng eagerly.
"We don't have water either!"
"What are they doing? Who robbed our things before, and who caused the disaster because of selfishness?
"Yes, ignore them."
Everyone was talking, and you counted the two Xu Kedi brothers word by word, so that in the eyes of the two brothers of the Xu family, there was a sense of despair and a trace of regret.
"I'll look for it."
Although Nie Feng hated the two Xu Kedi brothers, he thought that everyone came from the same place and there was no head-on conflict, so he would not be saved. He turned around and walked around the top of the mountain.
"Spring water." After Nie Feng sank into a forest, he made a discovery.
Just dozens of meters in front of Nie Feng, in the open space surrounded by several old vines, there is a one-meter-square spring pool, which flows like nectar.
Next to the spring pool, there is a row of small trees more than one meter high, with thick and green leaves. And on the top of each tree, there are red fruits, shaped like cherries, the size of a fist.
'gu gu'
Nie Feng stood far away and smelled the strong fruit fragrance, which immediately made him greedy. After all, after running all night, his body was already empty, so that he was very hungry. At this moment, I smell the fruit fragrance, and I am naturally overjoyed.
He immediately passed through the vines and came to the small tree.
"It smells good."
He took a deep breath and felt that the fruit was fragrant. He didn't know whether it was too hungry or whether the fruit was really so sweet. For Nie Feng, even if it is the Chen Xiang of the millennium wine cellar at this moment, it is not as good as this red fruit.
He doesn't care whether it is poisonous or not. After all, he knows that if he doesn't supplement food for a while, he will starve to death.
A starved fairy makes people feel funny.
But the crisis is just around the corner.
Immediately, he took off a red fruit and took a bite. When the crystal bright red peel was broken, it suddenly made people feel a fragrant fragrance, impacting the internal organs and permeating the whole body.
At present, he was not polite and swallowed the juice of the fruit.
When he wolfed down and ate four or five fruits, he stopped.
At this time, he has felt a stream of hot air flowing in his body, supplementing his physical strength, which is energetic and full of energy. Then he picked up the spring and drank some. Suddenly, he felt tired and energetic.
"Pick all the fruits and bring them back to the little demons."
Nie Feng looked and saw that there were still seventeen or eighteen fruits on the tree. He quickly picked all the fruits and wrapped them in leaves. Then he rolled it into a funnel with nearby leaves and put a large handful of spring water, and then he walked back.
