Chapter 30: First Entry into the Wind and Thunder Mountains
At six o'clock, Nangong Xufeng and I met at the gate of our school on time.
In the morning, the air at the school gate is fresh, there is no noisy sound at the school gate in the past, there is no bustling crowd, and the light of the faint street lamps is reflected on the asphalt road, giving people a leisurely and quiet feeling.
We took a taxi and headed for the Wind Thunder Mountains.
The driver said that the drive on the road will take about 20 minutes, which is just enough for me to purify my negative energy twice, and now every minute and second of time is precious to me, how can such precious time be wasted?
I took out Zhou Yi first, and gently placed my left hand on the wind and earth hexagram, and soon the negative energy in its body entered my body, and the wind and earth view hexagram also turned into a bright gold after I absorbed the negative energy, and the negative energy in my body instantly rose a lot, and I felt that the fire attribute energy and earth attribute energy were obviously suppressed.
The hand was lightly placed on the lapis lazuli, I must know how much negative energy I have in my body now, to make sure that I don't do anything wrong in the Wind Thunder Mountain Range because of too much negative energy, causing the two of us to die at the bottom, this life-threatening thing is no joke.
A red number flashed above the lapis lazuli: seventeen.
It's okay, it's still within my acceptable range. The reason why I need to absorb a little more negative energy is just to ensure that the last unit of my second purification of negative energy will not be wasted, and I don't have a lot of time to dedicate to meditating and purifying negative energy.
After absorbing the negative energy on the body of the wind and earth hexagram, I quickly entered the state of purifying the negative energy, twenty minutes passed quickly, and my two purification processes were also completed, with the spit out of the two mouthfuls of turbidity, the negative energy in my body has been reduced to nine, in this way, the fire attribute energy in my body is one unit more than the negative energy, plus the combined effect of five units of earth attribute energy, it can basically suppress the side effects of negative energy. I'm quite satisfied with this result.
We got out of the car and stood at the foot of the Wind Thunder Mountains. Since this Wind Thunder Valley is in the very center of the Wind Thunder Mountain Range, if we want to reach the Wind Thunder Valley, we must pass through the Wind Thunder Mountain Range.
"It's half past six now, and while it's cloudy and hasn't rained yet, let's hurry and go! If there is thunder and lightning, it will be difficult to leave. ”
We must quickly reach the Wind Thunder Valley during this time, after all, the Wind Thunder Valley is not the only one in the Wind Thunder Mountain Range that has thunder and lightning on rainy days, and there are more or less thunder and lightning in other places when it rains, but there are not as many thunderbolts as in the Wind Thunder Valley.
This place is too dangerous, we have already discussed it, once Nangong Xufeng successfully obtains the hexagram of the Zhen Hexagram, we will immediately evacuate that place, and if we stay here for a second longer, there will be more danger.
At the foot of the mountain, we simply planned the route to the Wind Thunder Valley from the map, and then we packed our bags and set off for our destination, the Wind Thunder Valley.
Because there are often farmers here who go up the mountain to pick fruits to satisfy their hunger, so unconsciously there is a road up the mountain, in the words of Mr. Lu Xun, there is no road in the world, and there are more people walking, and it becomes a road.
We walked on this road that was walked out, although it is said to be a road, but it is not the same as the way we climb the mountain on a regular day, there are no artificially built stairs here, it is a dirt road, this road is surrounded by wild flowers and weeds, occasionally there are one or two bushes of wild grass that grow too fast so that they cross the middle of the road, there are indeed a few trees around that grow fruit, but we all carry food and water, so there is no need to pick these fruits of unknown toxicity to satisfy hunger, in this dangerous place, it is better to be careful.
We just walked slowly in such an environment, pulling out the weeds when they got in the way, stepping over or burrowing through the trees in front of us, and occasionally one or two boulders blocking the way, and the two of us helped each other to cross the boulders and continue to move forward.
As he walked, Nangong Xufeng suddenly stopped without warning.
"Hurry up, wouldn't it be a pity to take two more steps for such precious time?"
I was a little dissatisfied with his sudden stoppage, after all, it was not a good idea to rest now, we had only walked for fifteen minutes, and if we had rested once in fifteen minutes, we would have been scorched by lightning before we reached Wind Thunder Valley.
"There's a snake ahead, a copper-spotted snake."
"What? Where, is it poisonous? Why don't we take a detour. ”
"The copper-spotted snake is a venomous snake, and this snake is about 80 centimeters long."
I really didn't know anything about snakes, I had never seen a real snake, let alone a copper-spotted snake, and when I heard that this copper-spotted snake was a poisonous snake, my heart began to retreat.
"Let's take a detour, I don't want to be bitten by a snake in this wilderness."
"I can't go, this copper-spotted snake is already eyeing me, and turning my head and walking away now is tantamount to suicide, only to fight to see if I can catch it."
"You can catch snakes? It's a poisonous snake, what if you don't catch it and get bitten by it. ”
"When I was a child, I used to catch snakes, but they were all non-venomous, and I only saw this kind of snake in an introduction to snakes, they were very hidden, in the fallen leaves, and they couldn't be seen at all if you didn't look carefully. All I can say is that I'm 70% sure of catching it, and there's only one way to do it now, you step back a little bit, don't hurt you. ”
Although I still want to say something, but I really can't help much, I am almost unknown to snakes, and continuing to stand here can only cause chaos to Nangong Xufeng, so it is better to help him by stepping back a little.
I saw Nangong Xufeng slowly squatting down, and suddenly his hand went deep into the fallen leaves, and then a particularly beautiful snake with a slightly yellow body, a body length of about sixty centimeters, and a dark yellow triangular markings on its body appeared in his hand.
I was frightened and took five or six steps back, and I still screamed "ah" in my mouth, this was the first time I had seen a real snake, this snake spat out letters, and I felt a chill in the back.
Just when the snake's tail just began to wrap around Nangong Xufeng's arm, Nangong Xufeng hurriedly put it back into the fallen leaves, watching this copper-spotted snake disappear the moment it touched the fallen leaves, and my heart hanging in my throat also fell, it seems that God still favors us, and this crisis can be regarded as lifted.
I made up my mind and continued to hurry with Nangong Xufeng, after all, there was no time for us to reminisce about the poisonous snake here.
After walking for about half an hour, a light rain had begun to fall in the sky, and the rustle of leaves in the wind could be heard among the trees, but fortunately there was no thunder and lightning yet.
