Chapter 258: Fog Is Coming, Flying Into the Mountains
"This is called the Giant Python Peak. It is the place where we mountain visitors often rest after entering the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain. After passing this place, we will reach the real heart of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain." Ma Yufei explained.
Zhao Ya looked up and found that the stone peak looked like a giant python with its front half standing up.
"Wait here for a moment, I'll go up and take a look."
After saying that, Zhao Ya flew up, and after a few leaps, he jumped into the thin mist and disappeared.
Ma Yufei stood below and watched, his face full of astonishment.
Because the body movements displayed by Zhao Ya were so shocking, even the knowledgeable Ma Yufei had never seen them before, so he was naturally shocked.
After a while, Zhao Ya turned back and shook his head, "At least there is no place similar to the map within a radius of ten miles."
This is the most feasible way to find the treasure as soon as possible.
By finding a commanding height and observing whether there are similar terrains around, the search progress can be greatly accelerated.
Otherwise, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack for Zhao Ya and Ma Yufei to locate a peak in the vast Wanshou Mountain.
But this method is only applicable to Zhao Ya, who has top-level body skills.
For ordinary people, he can't even climb up this giant python peak, let alone observe the surroundings.
Ma Yufei admired him and gained confidence in the next search.
The two rested for a while and then continued on their way.
Because they knew there were no similar peaks within a radius of ten miles, they did not hesitate and walked quickly through the mountains and forests.
Although the road was rugged and difficult to travel, one had the blessing of Qinggong body skills and the other was an experienced old mountaineer, so the speed of travel was not slow at all.
Soon, under the leadership of Ma Yufei, the two came to another peak.
"This peak has no name, but it is the highest peak nearby, but if you go up, you have to pay attention, because I have seen flying beasts appear on the top of the mountain."
This is the benefit of having a guide.
Because of Ma Yufei's understanding of the Wanshou Mountain, he could provide Zhao Ya with a lot of useful information to prevent any accidents.
Zhao Ya nodded, then pulled out the meteorite knife, and disappeared into the green forest in a few ups and downs.
After watching Zhao Ya's figure disappear, Ma Yufei chose a clean and flat high ground to sit down, then took out a piece of dried meat and ate it slowly.
But just halfway through, Ma Yufei suddenly found that the sky had darkened.
It was sunny just now, but suddenly it seemed like a cloudy day.
When he looked up again, the trees in the distance that he could see just now were already covered by blue-gray fog.
"Oh no, it's gray fog." Ma Yufei's heart skipped a beat.
The thing he was most worried about really happened.
In this vast Wanshou Mountain, what scares the mountain visitors the most is not the powerful and strange beasts, but the fog that comes and goes suddenly.
You simply cannot figure out its rules. Often, it was fine just now, but suddenly the weather changed.
Especially in this season, when the grass is lush and the forest is dense, it is extremely dangerous once fog rises.
Ma Yufei stood up immediately.
In just a short while, the surroundings were pitch dark.
Moreover, this gray fog not only blocked the sight, but also seemed to block the sound.
The forest, which was lively with insects and birds just now, was surprisingly quiet at this moment.
Ma Yufei realized the seriousness of the situation.
The gray fog encountered this time was the most dangerous one. Even he, who was experienced, had not encountered it many times.
He did not dare to walk around, because in this case where the sight was completely blocked, people's sense of direction would also be greatly disturbed.
Once you leave the original position, it is almost impossible to go back.
The only thing he could do was to quickly take out a pre-prepared firecracker from his backpack and light it.
Teng.
The originally loud sound of the cannon became extremely dull at this moment, and then the firecracker flew into the sky and made a loud noise.
Although the sound was not loud, it at least caused some disturbance to the silent gray fog.
This was the secret signal agreed upon by Ma Yufei and Zhao Ya before coming in.
If there is a special situation, fire a cannon to warn.
One is to remind your position, and the other is that the sound of the cannon can also scare some strange beasts.
At this time, Ma Yufei only hopes that Zhao Ya can hear the cannon and stay on the mountain peak and don't come down for the time being.
Because according to Ma Yufei's experience, the height of these fogs is generally very low, and the overall range is not large, just like a ball of dough.
If you are at a high place at this time, you are likely to avoid the cover of the fog.
After giving the warning, Ma Yufei also took out his weapon and prepared to deal with danger.
Although ordinary wild beasts dare not move in the fog, this is the Wanshou Mountain where strange beasts appear. Any situation may happen, and you must prepare for the worst.
At the same time, Zhao Ya was standing on the top of the mountain and looking around.
When he heard the faint sound of cannons, Zhao Ya leaned over and saw that the mountain from the middle of the mountain to the bottom was covered by gray fog, and the fog was still spreading upwards, as if a flood was coming.
Zhao Ya immediately thought of what Ma Yufei had said to him before about the fog.
He did not act rashly, because once he rushed into the fog, even Zhao Ya would inevitably lose his way.
He came to the highest point of the peak, looked around, and his face was slightly solemn.
Because as far as the eye can see, there is gray fog everywhere, only these towering peaks can stick their heads out, like reefs on the sea.
Didn't Ma Yufei say that the area of fog in the Wanshou Mountain would not be too large? What's going on?
Zhao Ya was puzzled.
At this moment, there was a rapid sound of breaking through the air above his head. Zhao Ya didn't even hesitate and raised his hand to cut it.
After a piercing cry, several hard bird feathers fell down.
Looking up, he saw a giant crane at least seven or eight meters long hovering in the air.
However, this giant crane had no elegant aura at all, but red eyes, and exuded an ominous aura all over its body.
And the knife Zhao Ya just cut only left a shallow mark on its head, and even no blood came out.
Zhao Ya knew that this should be the flying beast that Ma Yufei said was entrenched on the top of this peak.
It looks like it is quite strong, at least half a step into the fifth realm.
But Zhao Ya is not most concerned about this.
He saw at a glance that there was a huge copper ring on the leg of the giant crane.
A giant crane with an owner?
Zhao Ya immediately became interested.
There is only one possibility to have such a giant crane in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.
That is the Beast Taming Sect that has been hiding in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.
If this is true.
Then today's trip is worthwhile.
At least we found traces of the Beast Taming Sect.
At this time, the giant crane circled in the air for a while, then swooped down again, flapping its wings, and aimed its sharp feathers like saw teeth at Zhao Ya's body and cut it all over.
The fight was quite methodical.
This further confirmed Zhao Ya's previous speculation.
Because when he dealt with the baboon and the devil doll in Yunxiao County before, Zhao Ya felt the same way.
Zhao Ya dodged the attack with a flash, but did not use the knife again. Instead, he sheathed the knife and raised his fist to hit.
Boom.
After a muffled sound, the giant crane was shaken sideways and flew several feet away, almost falling to the bottom of the peak.
However, its wings flickered, and its body rose again, circling around Zhao Ya.
At the same time, the gray mist had also risen to the top, almost level with the top of the peak.
Looking at the surging fog tide like the sea level, Zhao Ya made up his mind and stretched out his hand to write a line of words on the ground.
Then he stood up and hooked his finger at the giant crane in the air.
"Come on, see how I deal with you today."
The giant crane seemed to understand Zhao Ya's provocation, cried angrily, and then swooped down again.
Zhao Ya did not dodge or evade, but waited quietly.
It was not until the giant crane had rushed to the front that Zhao Ya could even see the anger in its eyes, and then he suddenly jumped.
The giant crane could not stop and rushed forward like a bullet.
At this critical moment, Zhao Ya suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the giant crane's neck.
The next moment, Zhao Ya was blown away by the huge impact force.
The giant crane seemed to have noticed Zhao Ya's intention, deliberately speeding up and rushing into the sky, twisting its neck constantly, trying to throw Zhao Ya away and kill him alive.
But Zhao Ya had expected this move, and at the moment he was blown away, he stretched out his other hand and also grabbed the giant crane's neck.
With both hands exerting force, the giant crane let out a painful cry, and the flying momentum that was originally rushing into the sky finally eased.
But it still struggled hard, trying to get rid of Zhao Ya.
Zhao Ya didn't give it a chance at all. With a force of his arms, he climbed onto the back of the giant crane.
A fishy smell came to his nose, but he couldn't care about it at this time. Zhao Ya grabbed the neck of the giant crane with one hand, freed the other hand to make a fist, and punched it one by one.
Bang, bang, bang!
Every punch made the giant crane tremble and scream in pain. Its flying posture in the air was even more crooked, and it almost hit the mountain peak several times.
But the effect was immediate. After just a few punches, the giant crane became much more honest.
At least it didn't dare to shake its body and try to throw Zhao Ya off.
Zhao Ya stopped when he saw this.
He couldn't really beat the giant crane to death, otherwise his plan would be in vain.
He lay on the back of the giant crane and looked down.
He saw clouds and mist below, and the towering mountains all turned into small black dots, which showed how fast it was flying.
Although Zhao Ya has good body skills, he can't fly so high.
However, Zhao Ya is not afraid of this at all, but very excited.
The giant crane seemed to know that it would never be able to get rid of Zhao Ya by itself, so it turned and flew towards the depths of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.
Zhao Ya exhaled lightly, knowing that more than half of his plan had been completed.
The next step depends on his luck.
If he is lucky, he may be able to find the treasure on the giant crane and solve the problem quickly.
If he is unlucky, it doesn't matter, at least he can use it to find the residence of the Beast Taming Sect.
After the flight stabilized, Zhao Ya grabbed the giant crane's neck with one hand to prevent it from making any more troubles. While looking at the scenery below, he was thinking about whether he should find a way to subdue a high-level flying beast after this time.
Because this trip is so convenient and labor-saving.
But Zhao Ya also knew that his idea was a little unrealistic.
Because no matter how high the level of the beast is, even if it can understand some of the meaning of people, it is almost impossible to communicate with it.
In addition, due to its wildness and high cost of breeding, it is destined to be just an idea.
Only when flying on the back of this giant crane did Zhao Ya finally deeply realize how vast and boundless this Wanshou Mountain Range is.
Because even if it has been flying for more than a quarter of an hour, there are still large mountains in front of it, and it seems that there will never be an end.
But Zhao Ya is not in a hurry. While identifying the mountains below, he is thinking about the next plan.
If he really goes to the headquarters of the Beast Taming Sect through this giant crane, what should he do?
It is definitely not possible to do it in a big way.
After all, the strength shown by the Beast Taming Sect is already amazing enough.
The key is that they also master the mysterious beast transformation technique and all kinds of strange things.
If he is not careful, it will be a pity.
So I have to think of another way.
Just as Zhao Ya was lost in thought, the giant crane under him suddenly began to fly lower.
Zhao Ya immediately looked down, and then his whole body was shocked, and his eyes showed surprise.
What surprised him was that there was a large manor hidden in the middle of several peaks.
What made him happy was that according to the direction of the surrounding peaks and the traces of several rivers nearby, Zhao Ya could conclude that this was the place recorded on the treasure map.
But soon a trace of haze flashed through Zhao Ya's heart.
If the East King's treasure was in this place, did it mean that the treasure had been taken away by the people of the Beast Taming Sect?
If that was the case, he would lose a lot.
But things had come to this point, and Zhao Ya could not care about that much.
When the giant crane descended to a certain height, Zhao Ya saw the time, suddenly let go of his hand, and then jumped towards a towering forest.
The giant crane turned back and cried, and continued to move forward.
As early as in the air, Zhao Ya had already improved his body skills to the limit.
Thanks to the fact that he carried Zui'er on his back, Zhao Ya's body movements improved.
Even though he fell from a height of tens of meters, Zhao Ya's figure was still as light as a feather. He only stepped on two branches and stood firm.
Then Zhao Ya did not stop, and immediately performed the Spirit Turtle Hibernation Technique, and disappeared into the depths of the forest in a few flashes.
Although the giant crane could not speak, it was hard to guarantee that the people of the Beast Taming Sect would not find any clues.
So Zhao Ya decided to hide himself first and make further plans.
Anyway, the Beast Taming Sect was right in front of him. Now that the enemy was in the open and I was in the dark, Zhao Ya was confident that he could deal with any trouble.
And just when Zhao Ya came to the Beast Taming Sect's residence deep in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain with the support of the giant crane.
In front of the nameless peak, the gray fog was receding like a tide.
This fog came and went quickly. In just a few breaths, Ma Yufei in the forest could vaguely see the shadows of the surrounding forests.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
I know the fog has dissipated.
Sure enough.
A minute later, the sky was bright again, and the chirping of insects and birds reappeared in the mountains and forests.
Ma Yufei wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, secretly thanking his luck this time, even in the gray fog, he did not encounter any attacks from strange beasts.
But strangely, after waiting for a while, Ma Yufei did not find Zhao Ya coming down from the peak.
Ma Yufei immediately had a bad premonition.
Logically, after seeing the fog recede, Zhao Ya should have come down from the peak as soon as possible.
Why is there no news until now?
After waiting for a while, seeing that there was still no news, Ma Yufei did not care whether he would disturb the surrounding wild animals.
He took out another firecracker and lit the fuse.
After a while, the sound of the cannon rumbled.
But there was no response from the peak.
Ma Yufei was anxious.
Although he had made it very clear when he accepted the task that he would leave on his own when encountering an unsolvable danger.
But now he didn't encounter that kind of situation, and he was introduced by Song Lizheng, so how could he just leave like that?
He looked at the towering mountain, gritted his teeth, and then began to climb up.
Under normal circumstances, mountaineers who enter the mountain rarely climb mountains.
In most cases, they only walk along the mountain paths and climb to the middle of the mountain at most.
Because climbing mountains consumes too much physical energy, it won't take long for them to be exhausted.
In that case, the danger to oneself will be greatly increased.
But Ma Yufei can't just leave alone like this.
Fortunately, it was still early at this time, so Ma Yufei decided to give it a try.
His climbing speed was naturally not comparable to Zhao Ya's. After half an hour, Ma Yufei finally reached the top of the mountain with difficulty.
There was no one on the top of the mountain, only a line of words on the ground.
I'll take a giant bird to the deep mountains to take a look, don't worry.
