Black mountain peak.
After stepping onto that mountain peak, a pungent smell lingered in the air, a little choking, with a sulfuric smell. Ghost Li and Jin PingEr were both highly cultivated people, they could still tolerate this kind of smell but as they gradually went deeper into the mountain peak, the Yin wind that gradually became stronger, gradually made them frown.
That was a bone-chilling wind, for some reason, when it brushed past their faces, although the wind strength was not that strong, but the gloominess made one feel a chill from the bottom of one's heart. In addition, from somewhere deep in the mountain peak ahead, indistinct sharp howls were emitted, rising and falling, sometimes high and sometimes low, like the cries of apes at night, but also the bitter laughter of ferocious ghosts, it was also unbearable to the ears.
Xiao Hui crouched on Ghost Li's shoulder, finished gnawing on the last wild fruit, casually threw the core away, its three eyes opened, looking around, as if to it, it was not the least bit affected by these strange phenomena.
Jin PingEr's brows knitted tighter and tighter, suddenly said, "Something seems wrong."
Ghost Li was surprised, stopped and said, "What is it?"
Jin PingEr hesitated for a moment, said, "The last time I followed here, there were no ghostly wails and wolf howls and gusts of Yin wind, only when we reached the Subdue Devil Ancient Cave, there seemed to be some. Why is it that after some time, this place has become like the Netherworld Ghost Prison? "
Ghost Li looked afar, indifferently said, "Maybe this is the Beast Deity's lair, the evil air is too heavy, it should be like this. That day when you came over, he had just revived, of course there is no such atmosphere. "
Jin PingEr thought for a moment, and could only explain it this way. That day at Qing Yun Hill, the Beast Deity had a bloody battle with the Zhu Xian Sword Formation, and was heavily injured by the Zhu Xian Ancient Sword, anyone could see how powerful that sword was. But even under the Zhu Xian Sword Formation, the Beast Deity could still escape, this level of cultivation, was already enough to shock the world.
Jin PingEr's eyes wavered, suddenly said, "You say, if we really find the Beast Deity in the Subdue Devil Ancient Cave, although he is already injured, but the two of us, can we really deal with him?"
Ghost Li shook his head, said, "How would I know?"
Jin PingEr looked at him, suddenly smiled and said, "Looking at you, I'm afraid you don't have much confidence! If that's the case, why did you follow me here? "
She looked at Ghost Li, said with a smile yet not a smile, "Don't forget, in Majestic Fox Mountain, there is still BiYao waiting for you to save her! If you die here, wouldn't you be letting her down? "
Ghost Li snorted, walked forward, said, "This is what her father ordered me to do, I owe BiYao too much, more or less I have to do something. As for you, "he laughed coldly," if you were to unfortunately die here, I'm afraid you would not be able to rest in peace, right? "
Jin PingEr smiled coquettishly and said to his back, "Aiya! You are really treating me like an outsider, as long as we die together, not to mention this beast lair, even a pigsty or a cow pen, that is also good. "
Ghost Li coldly laughed twice, clearly did not believe Jin PingEr's words at all, not to mention showing any sign of being moved, only walked straight ahead. Instead the monkey on his shoulder turned its head, faced Jin PingEr, actually gave a rare grin, seemed to be in a good mood.
Different from the few girls that Ghost Li had interacted with before, Xiao Hui was not as affectionate to Jin PingEr as he was to Xiao Bai and Xiao Huan, after several days, this was the first time it grinned so happily.
Jin PingEr was more or less surprised but it was not a bad thing so she was happy and was about to go up to tease the monkey, unexpectedly the monkey had only laughed for a moment when it suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a black thing, its speed was extremely fast, flying straight towards where Jin PingEr was standing.
Jin PingEr was startled but she was after all not an ordinary person and did not panic, exerting force with her feet, her body forcefully moved to the side, letting that strange thing pass.
A low sound, that thing fell to the ground, did not bounce up and instead directly smashed into the ground. Jin PingEr turned back and looked, it was a wild fruit pit, not knowing when Xiao Hui still had one left in its mouth, tasting it and right now it was using it to tease her.
Being teased by a monkey, Jin PingEr felt slightly angry, her pretty face also turned pale, she glanced over and saw that the grey monkey had already turned around and sat on Ghost Li's shoulder, facing Jin PingEr, its arms crossed at its chest, both legs swinging, three eyes looking up at the sky, its face full of arrogance, with the legendary hoodlum air, even its long tail was swinging back and forth, an expression of 'I am bullying you, I am a hoodlum I am afraid of who'.
Jin PingEr was still fine if she did not see it, once she saw it, she became even angrier, hurriedly caught up with Ghost Li, angrily said, "You this monkey, why are you so ill-mannered, casually spitting out a fruit pit, do you know that?"
Ghost Li slowly turned his head, looked at Jin PingEr, his expression strange, after a long while said, "Are you scolding it?" and pointed to Xiao Hui.
Jin PingEr nodded.
Xiao Hui was immediately enraged, jumped up from Ghost Li's shoulder, [Zhi zhi], three eyes opened wide, both hands clenched into fists, gesturing incessantly, looked like it was burning with rage, wanting to fight with Jin PingEr, its imposing manner overbearing.
Jin PingEr did not expect that this grey monkey would actually understand human nature to this extent, was stunned for a moment, stepped back and then ignored it, loudly said to Ghost Li, "I am scolding it, this beast is really too hateful, since you have raised it you must teach it well …"
"You ah!" Suddenly, Ghost Li's rare loud voice, shouted at Xiao Hui, at the same time also interrupted Jin PingEr's words.
Xiao Hui was startled, stopped, Jin PingEr was also shocked, looked at Ghost Li.
Ghost Li frowned, his face solemn, shouted at Xiao Hui, "I have told you long ago, you must read more, only with knowledge can you understand reason, you just did not listen. That book that I taught you last time, why didn't you learn? Go back and make me three hundred copies of it before coming back to see me! "
Xiao Hui's three eyes stared wide, blinked and blinked, used its hand to touch its head, then scratched again, obviously in a daze.
But Jin PingEr on the other side was not much better, after a shock, she could not help but coldly said, "What nonsense are you talking about, even if this monkey can understand human nature, I have never heard of it being able to read and write!"
Ghost Li turned his head and glanced at her, an "Oh" sound, as if he just came to his senses, faintly said, "Since it is so, even if you also said so, it is not my fault that this monkey has no upbringing. All living things in the world, why can a monkey not read, why, why can't it? "
He looked at Jin PingEr, sighed without any sincerity, did not speak anymore, turned and walked forward again.
Jin PingEr was choked with anger, her face turned pale.
Xiao Hui, the monkey in front, with a plop, fell down from Ghost Li's shoulder, landed on the ground but it did not seem to be in any pain, instead it screeched loudly, waving its hands and feet, laughing hysterically, sometimes clutching its stomach, sometimes pounding the ground, even its four limbs facing the sky, waving its tail, anyway its laughter was as savage as it could be.
The more Jin PingEr watched, the angrier she got, was about to flare up when Xiao Hui suddenly jumped up, [Zi zi zi] called out strangely at Jin PingEr, made a big face and then its four limbs on the ground, with a few leaps, it scurried back to Ghost Li's shoulder and then again crouched down, proudly turned back to look at Jin PingEr, made another face.
Jin PingEr was even more enraged, even her body seemed to tremble, she clenched her teeth and raised her hand, under the warm sunlight, a faint purple glow appeared at the edge of her palm, extremely strange.
Just that when her hand was raised halfway, it stopped in mid-air, under that man's figure, a faint green glow seemed to be emitting from his hand.
Jin PingEr's pupils contracted.
After a long while, she suddenly stopped and then put down her hand, closed her eyes and breathed deeply. Her chest heaved up and down a few times, her face had returned to normal. And the green glow beside Ghost Li's hand, also slowly disappeared, as for his figure, in the ear-piercing strange laughter of the grey three-eyed monkey, slowly walked far away.
Jin PingEr composed herself, she still felt slightly angry but at the same time, for some reason, her face felt slightly hot. She had always been able to charm all living things, toyed with people's hearts as her specialty, who knew that today she would be toyed by a monkey to this extent …
She snorted, cast these thoughts aside and was about to move forward when suddenly she frowned, as if she recalled something, turned around and slowly walked back. Not long after, she had already reached the place where the fruit pit that Xiao Hui had provoked and spat out had landed.
The fruit pit was an ordinary wild fruit pit in the mountains, there was nothing strange about it but right now that fruit pit, had sunk into the ground, only revealing a few parts of the hard shell. And on this strange scorched black mountain peak, it was not like the other places in the ten thousand great mountains, where there was loose soil and hard rocks everywhere.
The force from Xiao Hui's spit, had actually struck the fruit pit into the hard rocks.
Jin PingEr frowned slowly, slowly stood up and looked at the direction where Ghost Li's figure had disappeared, waves of Yin wind blew over from that direction, Xiao Hui's ear-piercing strange laughter seemed to still be heard in the wind.
Quietly, as if she was softly muttering to herself, "How can even this monkey, have such skills, improve so quickly, this person is actually …"
The vast black forest, welcomed new visitors. Just that this time, the number of visitors was much more than the previous ones. A group of more than ten people, traversed through the forest, moving forward in the lush foliage of the huge trees and overgrown vines and brambles.
Just that, this part of the journey, other than not being attacked by the ferocious beasts as expected, it was unexpectedly smooth.
The few people walking at the front of the group, were not ordinary people. Lu XueQi frowned slightly, did not speak but Zeng ShuShu could not help but said to Li Xun, "Li senior brother, this, something is not right here!"
Li Xun stopped, looked around and then looked at Zeng ShuShu, after a moment of hesitation, turned back and loudly said to the FenXiang Valley disciples, "Everyone rest here for a while, we will continue our journey later."
Everyone agreed loudly. It was obvious that walking this distance was not an easy task for anyone.
After settling the others, Li Xun and Zeng ShuShu walked to the front, approached Lu XueQi at the same time, Lu XueQi frowned and took a step back.
Li Xun's face darkened, Zeng ShuShu was quick-witted, immediately opened his mouth to interrupt, "Li senior brother, you also realised it right?"
Li Xun nodded, his eyes landed on where the three of them were standing, in the dense brambles, although indistinct but after the brambles were snapped, indistinct footprints could be seen.
