The Starved Dog Ridge.
This place got its name because of its appearance. As the name suggested, the Starved Dog Ridge looked like a huge and bony mongrel. There were few trees and many rocks on the mountain. The mountain was steep and dangerous, and no one was willing to take the risk to climb it. Even the most experienced herb gatherers shook their heads and sighed at the strange rocks and peaks, knowing that it was difficult to climb.
Lin Dong and Qianjun spent more than an hour to get here from Peach Blossom Gorge.
At the foot of the ridge, there was a mountain stream that went around the Starved Dog Ridge.
If one looked down from the sky, one would find that the Starved Dog Ridge was abruptly in the middle, dividing the rolling mountains into two.
The mountain stream circled the mountain in an S-shape. It converged with other mountain streams and eventually formed the Dragon Mouth River of the Azure Dragon Gorge, which flowed into the Dong Mountain Bay.
"The traces disappear here." Qianjun found some traces of the enemies and realized that these cunning enemies had all walked into the stream. In this way, even if the trackers had police dogs, they would not be able to find their whereabouts. The stream went around the mountain, so the enemies could go left or right. If they chased in the wrong direction, they would definitely miss the best opportunity to catch them and end up with nothing.
"Let's go right!" Lin Dong's expression was solemn.
"You think it's the right?" At first, Qianjun thought that Lin Dong was an ordinary person and did not want to pay attention to him. It was not until she saw Yun You You's unusual attitude towards him that she realized that he might be a special existence that even she could not see through. In just a few days, the Spiritual Tea and Vitality Pills had left her in awe, and she was gradually convinced. Later, Lin Dong asked her to be his bodyguard. He went to Gold-Panning Town alone and attacked the international mercenaries in the dark. He killed seven men and one woman in a row. When she heard the news, she did not show it on her face, but she could not help but feel shocked.
In tonight's battle, he used a coin to deflect his opponent's pistol, destroying his opponent's strongest weapon. She should have been very shocked, but maybe because she had been shocked too many times recently, she was a little used to it.
Now that Lin Dong said it, she was naturally convinced.
She didn't know how Lin Dong knew it was the right one, but since he said it was the right one, it couldn't be wrong.
"Actually, there are people on both sides, but the enemy's main force should be fleeing to the right." Lin Dong had also carefully searched for traces and sensed the enemy's aura. He found that the number of people was very different from the intelligence report. There were far more than four people entering the mountain from the Starved Dog Ridge. Lin Dong estimated that there would be more than ten people in the end.
"You're saying that other than the four people who escaped earlier, the main force, Romney, is also here?" Qianjun reacted very quickly. He immediately understood what Lin Dong meant.
"Tonight might be a tough fight." There was an inexplicable feeling in Lin Dong's heart. He couldn't tell what it was at the moment, but this strong premonition of the threat of death was the guarantee for his survival in the early days of his transmigration. It was because of it that Lin Dong could survive safely until now. He had a very strong feeling now, as if he had walked into a dangerous dragon's pool and tiger's den. It seemed that there were ambushes everywhere, and if he was not careful, he would be hit.
"I will be careful." Qianjun saw that he seemed to be a little worried about him, and his heart suddenly shuddered. At the same time, he was greatly energized. He raised his attention to the limit, paying attention to the slightest movement around him.
Lin Dong and Qianjun took turns to move forward along the mountain stream.
They waded through the water all the way.
They didn't know how many twists and turns, and how many mountains of different sizes they passed.
After passing through a mountain wall, the front suddenly opened up, and a calm small lake appeared in front of them. The lake water reflected the faint moonlight in the sky. There was no wind or fog, and the waves were as calm as a mirror. In this quiet environment, there was a kind of tranquil leisure. It was natural, and people couldn't bear to destroy even a little bit of it. The two crescent moons in the sky and the lake below could evoke waves of ripples in people's hearts, either purifying or intoxicating.
"So beautiful!" Qianjun couldn't help but sigh. "I didn't expect that there would be such a beautiful scene in this kind of deep mountain. Oh, I seem to have a familiar feeling. Maybe, I have seen it in my dream … "
Unlike Qianjun, Lin Dong's complexion was very unsightly.
Although he wasn't proficient in the Occult Door Technique, he had, after all, come into contact with many people from the Occult Door in the Cultivation World.
When he was at the Starved Dog Ridge, he felt that the mountain terrain here was a bit strange, very different from ordinary mountains and rivers. Because, even if it was a barren mountain forest, it wouldn't give a cultivator the oppressive feeling of being in a dragon's pool or tiger's den.
It wasn't until he came to this unknown small lake, saw the two crescent moons shining, and sensed the change of Qi activity here that Lin Dong suddenly understood.
This damn place was simply a land of death!
Although he didn't know who did it, and didn't know when this land of death was formed, and how long it had existed, its power didn't decrease at all. Instead, it grew with the passage of time. At the bottom of the lake, Lin Dong was sure that below was the place where the Taoist killed the dragon in his dream. At the same time, the surrounding mountains and rivers, such as the Peach Blossom Valley, the Starved Dog Ridge, the Broken Stone Plain, and the Old Pond Crow, starting from the Azure Dragon Gorge, including the underground river, and all the mountains and rivers in the deep mountain forest, were all connected by the Taoist's supreme power to form the Heaven and Earth Formation to suppress the flood dragon's soul.
In a word, these places were all sealed places.
The flood dragon was sealed.
But the power of this formation was still there. For some reason, the Taoist didn't destroy it, but let it stay.
God, what era was this? It could change the terrain and turn the earth upside down. It was probably not a product of ordinary historical records. The legend of the emperor should be nonsense. It was most likely that later generations found something strange here and reported it to the emperor. Then, soldiers were sent to investigate the truth, and the treasured sword with the flood dragon's soul sealed in it was brought out from the underground river or somewhere else. Then, they told the outside world that it was the sword of the emperor to increase the emperor's prestige.
The legend was not important. The dream of killing the dragon was real, and it must have happened a long, long time ago.
The specific era.
With Lin Dong's current power, he couldn't judge it at all.
"Quickly send a message to Mount Qi and tell them not to lead the team into the mountain. This place is a bit strange, I'm afraid it's a land of death. No matter how many people come, it will be difficult, especially on a night with a moon … Don't worry, foreign devils, they shouldn't be able to walk out of these mountains." Lin Dong asked Qianjun to send the message quickly. Unfortunately, the signal here was very poor, perhaps because of the interference of the mountain, and the message couldn't be sent.
"It doesn't work." Qianjun tried dozens of times, but it was useless.
"Luckily, it's not the fifteenth tonight." Lin Dong's mood could be said to be both surprised and happy.
He was surprised because this was a dangerous land of death. It might be a little troublesome to escape from here. It was no wonder that Yun You You was so serious about the hydrology. Maybe she didn't just want to measure the underground river, but also the various changes of this lake … He was happy because if one day, he could break the seal formation here and use this terrain for his own use, he could use it to build a new cultivation formation, gather the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, build a cave, and focus on cultivating in it. He would definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort, improve his power, break through realms, and his achievements would be immeasurable!
Qianjun was a little puzzled. Why did they talk about the fifteenth?
As for the fact that this was a land of death, she couldn't see it at all. It was such a calm little lake, and it wasn't a cliff. How could it be dangerous?
She saw Lin Dong's solemn expression and quickly comforted him, "If you feel that it's not good, then we can take a detour. I have a premonition usually, but I don't feel anything wrong with this place. I even feel that it's a little familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere before. Moreover, the enemy wouldn't set up an ambush in such a bright place. It's too easy to be exposed! "
"What did you say?" Lin Dong started to ponder and didn't hear Qianjun's initial sigh. Now that he heard what she said, he instantly jumped up.
"Ah?" Qianjun was shocked. Such a big reaction?
"Do you feel that this place is very familiar?" Lin Dong pointed at the little lake in front of him and asked seriously, "Are you sure?"
"I also don't know. I don't think I have been here before. Maybe, it's a dream. I seem to have dreamt of a similar lake. However, I can't remember the dream clearly. I only remember that the lake seemed to be red!" Qianjun was shocked by Lin Dong's seriousness. But when he asked, she hurriedly told him her feelings and experiences.
"A red lake ….." When Lin Dong heard it, his eyes looked at Qianjun. His expression was extremely strange which made Qianjun's heart especially uneasy.
"Is there anything wrong?" Qianjun asked him carefully.
"En, about this, Qianjun, do you believe me?" Lin Dong couldn't tell her that the family's curse on her was the destructive power of this sealing array. He could guess one thing now. Qianjun's ancestors must have tried to absorb the power from the broken sword. In the end, they were either killed by the Flood Dragon's soul or killed by the destructive power of the sealing array. Even their descendants who were passed down from generation to generation also suffered from this curse!
The stronger the curse, the stronger the destructive power of the sealing array.
This point.
It was the same for Qianjun.
Now, this military girl's death date was approaching ….. Lin Dong was sure that after this chase, a curse would appear on her body. Then, she would be tortured for a period of time. No treatment would work. No treatment would work. In the end, she would pass away just like that.
This curse started when her ancestors absorbed the power from the broken sword. The tragedy began.
The bloodline of Qianjun's family was not extinct. So, the destructive power of the sealing array would always exist in the form of a curse.
"Believe." Qianjun saw that Lin Dong's expression was especially solemn. She couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. She hurriedly nodded her head: "What do you want to say? Is there something wrong with me? "
"I might understand a little about your family's curse. Qianjun, are you willing to believe me?" Lin Dong looked at Qianjun who didn't know that her death date was approaching. He couldn't bear to see her die. If he didn't know her and she was a stranger, he might not care about her affairs. However, Qian Jun was a good sister and had helped him before. It would be too cruel to watch her die in pain and torture like this. Could it be that he was going to stand by and watch her die with no regard for her life? No matter what, she was a qualified bodyguard. If he saved her, he could let her do anything in the future. It was not bad to have a loyal sword servant to protect her …..
"What do you want to say? Am I right? " Qianjun suddenly felt a burst of fear in her heart. Could it be that she couldn't escape this misfortune? Was the family's curse finally going to break out on her?
"It's okay." Lin Dong suddenly smiled: "Since we found the cause, there is a way to solve it."
"Really?" When Qianjun heard this, she was overjoyed.
"There's no hurry now. Let's go after those foreign devils first. When we come back, we will think of a way!" Lin Dong slapped his arm and killed a mosquito. He paused and smiled at Qianjun: "There are a lot of mosquitoes and leeches in the mountains. I have a kind of medicine that can drive them away. You should take a quick bath in the lake now. Wash off the mud and apply some insect repellent medicine. Otherwise, if we go deeper into the mountains, the mosquitoes and mountain leeches will suck us dry!"
"Bath?" Qianjun was stunned, but she immediately reacted. He didn't apply the medicine to drive away the mosquitoes. He was trying to cure the curse on her, right? He must have seen it, but he was afraid to say it and scare me, so he used this method … Does he think I am stupid? I am not a stupid girl who knows nothing! Qianjun's heart was greatly moved. She wanted to cry, but she bit her lips and forcibly held it back. She tried to smile at him: "If you have something good, why didn't you take it out earlier? I was almost driven crazy by the mosquitoes in the sky!"
After saying that, she hurriedly turned around.
Hot tears fell down like a broken string of beads, falling on her hands that were about to unbutton her clothes.
Qianjun used her strength to take off her clothes, one piece at a time. Her face was full of tears, but she didn't want to turn around and let him see her cowardice. No, this wasn't cowardice, it was touching. She felt that in her life, other than her mother, no one else had warmed her heart like this … Qianjun didn't dare to turn around to look at him. Step by step, she walked towards the lake.
The moonlight in the sky was hazy. Thousands of light rays shrouded the lake, as well as Qianjun who was slowly entering the water.
In the lake, Qianjun was bathed in the moonlight.
Like a pure and holy statue of a goddess, her entire body was flawless.
Lin Dong slowly looked up at the sky and muttered to himself: "It's not yet the hour of Yin, there's still time …"
