Shen Luo did not want to give up, so he followed the fog wall to the left.
After walking for more than two hours, the white fog wall still did not stop. He also tried to enter the fog wall several times to explore, but the result was the same as before. It was difficult to resist the suffocating feeling.
However, as he walked, Shen Luo suddenly found that the ground under his feet began to rise. He seemed to be climbing a slope.
Soon, another two hours passed, and Shen Luo still found nothing.
Just as he was about to give up and return to the Village of Longevity, he suddenly stepped on something with a "crack" sound.
When Shen Luo looked down, he found that it was a skeleton under his feet.
His heart moved slightly, and he walked a hundred steps forward. The fog in front of him suddenly began to thin, but the scene in front of him surprised him.
In a radius of several hundred feet in front of them, the ground was covered with the bones of humans and beasts.
Shen Luo looked at the familiar scene in front of him, and his brows could not help but slightly frown. However, he only hesitated for a moment, and continued to walk toward the center of the bones.
When he got closer, he soon saw the hole in the ground. It was pitch-black inside. It was the hole in the sky that he had escaped from before.
"It's really here. I came back …" Shen Luo muttered.
He walked to the edge of the hole and looked inside for a moment, but he could not see anything.
Shen Luo knew that if he did not have the protection of the Red Spider Lily, once he entered the Underworld, his body would definitely turn into powder. Moreover, there was the terrifying Witch of the Black Mountain in there.
"If I want to walk this path again, I'm afraid that the strength of the Soul Condensing Stage is not enough. I have to at least reach the Aperture Stage." Shen Luo murmured.
After that, he turned and left, and continued to explore in another direction.
…
Near noon, Shen Luo returned to the Village of Longevity, but in the end, he could not find a way out of the fog.
Ying Luo had been waiting on the wall for a long time. Seeing him come back safely, she was very happy.
Shen Luo frowned slightly and told her about his discovery in the fog, but he did not mention the discovery of the hole leading to the underworld.
"Elder Brother Chen, it's been hard on you. Since we can't get out of the fog, we should prepare to continue fighting against the Demonic Beasts." Although Ying Luo was a little disappointed, he still said firmly.
"There's no way out in the fog. I plan to head to Mount Fangcun to search." Shen Luo's gaze turned and fell on the towering mountain behind the village. He said in a calm tone.
"No, no! Absolutely not, that place is too dangerous! "Ying Luo immediately shook his head like a rattle-drum when he heard this.
"I know you have ancestral teachings that forbid people from entering the mountain, but there is no way out now. Only by going up the mountain will we have a chance of survival. Look at those children. Do you really want them to spend their last days in fear of constantly fighting against the Demonic Beasts? "Shen Luo looked at the children who were playing at the side and said with a heavy heart.
When Ying Luo heard this, he also looked in that direction. Then, he fell silent and fell into deep thought.
"Alright, Elder Brother Chen. If you really plan to go up the mountain, then I must go with you. "After a moment, he raised his head and said firmly.
"You don't need to take risks with me. The village needs you to take care of it. Besides, your injuries haven't healed yet." Shen Luo smiled and shook his head.
"Elder Brother Chen, I'm not being impulsive. If you don't have me to lead the way, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for you to find the entrance." Ying Luo shook his head and said.
"Why is that?" Shen Luo asked doubtfully.
"Mount Fangcun's terrain is steep and steep. The path up the mountain is mostly hidden. If I don't lead the way, you will have to spend a lot of effort just to find the entrance." Ying Luo said.
"But the village..." Shen Luo said hesitantly.
"Elder Brother Chen, don't worry. The Demonic Beasts you killed yesterday suffered heavy casualties. They won't dare to attack again in a short period of time. My injuries are all superficial and won't get in the way. "Ying Luo said with a firm gaze.
"Alright. There's no time to lose. Let's set off now. "Shen Luo hesitated for a moment and said.
"Okay."
Ying Luo found the village youth named Qingniu and instructed him to guard the village well. After that, he went to warn Granny Ma and left with Shen Luo for Mount Fangcun.
Mount Fangcun seemed to be behind the Village of Longevity, but it was actually quite a long way to go.
In addition, the original mountain path had been abandoned for many years. It had long been covered by dense weeds and shrubs, making it quite difficult to walk. Shen Luo and Ying Luo spent a full two hours before they arrived at the foot of the mountain.
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Shen Luo knew why Ying Luo insisted on coming.
On Mount Fangcun in front of him, he could only see a mountain wall that was several hundred feet high. There was no road at all.
Ying Luo found a huge protruding rock according to the terrain characteristics mentioned by the elders in the village. Only then did he discover a hidden cave from below.
They followed the slope of the cave all the way up. After traveling several hundred feet in the mountain, they came out of a cave in the mountain wall behind Mount Fangcun.
The two followed a winding path in front of the cave and walked for about two to three miles before they arrived at a slightly wider mountain path. They could be considered to have found the real way to climb Mount Fangcun.
"You're right. If you didn't lead the way, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to find the way even if we walked until night time." Shen Luo looked at the dense ancient trees and couldn't help but say.
"In the past, there were many legends about the immortals of Mount Fangcun in the village. I still remember the story of the Guiding Butterfly and the Woodcutter. The Guiding Butterfly said that there was a person who crossed the sea from another continent and wanted to go up the mountain to become a disciple. After he arrived at the foot of the mountain, he lost his way and couldn't find the entrance no matter how hard he tried. He walked around the foot of the mountain for three years, but he still refused to give up. In the end, the immortals on the mountain were moved and sent a Guiding Butterfly to lead the way. Only then was he able to find the entrance to the mountain. "Ying Luo spoke frankly and frankly.
"Perhaps these three years of not being able to find the entrance was actually a test from the immortals on the mountain?" Shen Luo said with a smile after hearing this.
"When Father first told me this story, I also thought the same. Even when I was young, I also thought that the tribulations in the village were also a test from the immortals. "Ying Luo said with a smile, but there was a trace of sadness in his tone.
"What is the legend of the Woodcutter?" Shen Luo saw this and changed the topic.
"This story is even more bizarre..." When Ying Luo heard this, the words that were on the tip of his tongue stopped.
Shen Luo, who was at the side, also stiffened and stood in place.
On a huge rock several hundred feet in front of them, a yellow figure silently appeared.
