Chapter 92 Strange Land
At dusk, the setting sun was like blood. The bloody sunset spread on the brown-red rocky ground and the misty hot spring water, dyeing the entire earth bloody, looking like hell. Ye Xiaotian and Zhan Ning'er sat dejectedly next to a pool of spring water.
Ye Xiaotian had a good idea, but this place was not a flat land. There were springs and rolling stone hills. They needed to circumnate from time to time, and the distance was not short. How could they go straight? Although they did not go back to the foot of the mountain in the end, they were still lost.
The temperature of the spring water is not high, but the color of the water is a bit strange. Even when you look close, it reveals a strange bright blue color. In fact, this is because it contains a lot of minerals. Ye Xiaotian and Zhan Ning'er certainly don't understand the reason, so even though there are fish swimming in the water, it should not be poisonous, Zhan Ning'er still refuses to take a sip.
Ye Xiaotian was thirsty and felt that the fish could survive in such water. It would be fine if people drank it, so he boldly filled it with water. He even stabbed a fat big fish with a wooden stick. The fish weighed more than ten pounds and looked a bit like a carp. Perhaps because he had never seen a human, the fish had no precautions against Ye Xiaotian squatting by the water, so he easily stabbed it onto the shore.
Ye Xiaotian collected a pile of dry firewood and hay leaves, and while using two hard stones to make sparks, he turned his head to look at Zhan Ning'er. Seeing that her lips were cracked, he said, "Take a few sips, the color of this water looks a little weird, it's not poisonous."
Zhan Ning'er licked her lips, and finally couldn't stand the torture of thirst. She came to the spring, scooped up a handful of water, and drank it carefully.
Ye Xiaotian's hands were almost numb, and finally the fire started to burn. Ye Xiaotian didn't clean up the fat fish. Then he put it on the wooden stick and roasted it on the fire. Soon the smell of the fish came out.
Zhan Ning'er sat by the bonfire with her knees in her arms and looked at the sky worriedly. The sun had completely set and a moon was slowly climbing up. Zhan Ning'er sighed and said, "Thunder God's forbidden area should not be very big, why can't we just walk out? We won't be trapped here for the rest of our lives, right?"
Ye Xiaotian was carefully turning the fish to prevent the fatty fish from being roasted. When he heard Zhan Ning'er's words, Ye Xiaotian glanced at her and suddenly laughed.
Zhan Ning'er frowned and said, "What are you laughing at?"
Ye Xiaotian said: "I think it's good to be stuck here. There is water to drink, meat to eat, and a beautiful girl accompany me. If we can't get out, we will be a couple and have a bunch of children here. Ah! It's really good to think about it!"
"fart!"
Zhan Ning'er was annoyed and stood up. Ye Xiaotian immediately said, "Hey, hey, what are you going to do? There are only two of us here, we need to fall in love with each other. If you beat me away, you are the only one left, if you thunder again..."
As soon as Ye Xiaotian said this, a rolling thunder sounded from afar. Zhan Ning'er was so scared that he shivered and no longer dared to show his might. Ye Xiaotian smiled proudly.
Ye Xiaotian was not sure about the Thunder God forbidden land. Although he also felt that the terrain here was a bit weird, he felt that as long as he couldn't starve to death, there was always a way to go out. It was just such a big place, and after he got it right, he couldn't get rid of it. Therefore, he was not worried at all, so he was in the mood to joke with Zhan Ning'er.
The fish was ripe, and Ye Xiaotian didn't care about being scalded. He grabbed a piece of fish meat and stuffed it into his mouth in a hurry, saying vaguely: "Well! It smells so good! Come on, come and eat the meat!"
Behind a rock in the distance, Bai Xiaoxiao looked at the movement here, smelled the scent of flesh that was faintly floating in the wind, and swallowed quietly.

There is a hidden cave in the dense forest. The bonfire is born in the depths of the cave. Because the cave is twisted and turns, it is effective to block the fire. As long as you get a little away from the entrance of the cave, it is difficult to find the light inside. In the cave, a group of mountain seedlings are sitting quietly. They have just had dinner and are resting at this time.
The deepest part of the cave is extremely wide. The cave is more than ten feet tall and dozens of feet wide and narrow. A tall figure on the stone wall is constantly moving back and forth...
Next to the fire, the Gemao man was walking back and forth with his hands frowned and frowned, and could not stop his heart. He was the elder who trusted the most and was also the elder whose strength was second only to Gegevo. Everyone knew that he was loyal to the Venerable, but who knew that he also coveted the position of Venerable?
He was already worried when he was driven out of the temple and went to the Lakezhai area to preach: Isn’t he loyal to that old guy for so many years just to be able to inherit his position one day? Now he is driven away, and the position of the venerable is clearly no match for him.
From then on, he had a strange intention and wanted to seize the position of the Venerable through his own efforts. After the Venerable had heard that the deadline was approaching, he only occasionally showed his presence in the Lakezhai area. Most of the other time, he stayed close to the temple and secretly contacted his confidants to respond to the sudden change.
Now it seems that the Venerable should be about to return to heaven. The temple is surrounded by forces from all sides. The Venerable blocked the temple, obviously waiting for the people who were passed on to the jade tablet to arrive. Unfortunately, his subordinates took action too quickly at that time and did not leave any living mouths. Otherwise, they could find out who the jade tablet was to be handed over to remove the firewood from the bottom of the pot.
The Gemao would never have thought that this jade token was for him. Only Ye Xiaotian and Zhan Ning'er knew the truth, and An Nantian, who guessed that the Venerable's intention was Yang Yinglong. How could these people spread this news randomly?
As a result, the Gemao man obviously got the jade token, but he did not dare to show up easily. He was still here trying hard to guess who the Venerable wanted, which was a fate that could be considered a disaster.
"Can't wait any longer!"
The Gemao stopped and carefully calculated: "Once the jade tablet is not summoned, it is difficult to guarantee that the Venerable has no next move. If he finds the heir before he dies, and publicly announces to the Nine-Dimen Eighty-Archives, the facts have come true. Unless he is at the risk of becoming the enemy of the Nine-Dimen Eighty-Archives, no one dares to attack the successor again, and then the situation will be gone.
At present, only by using this jade tablet to sneak into the temple, he would kill the Venerable and ascend the throne directly assuming the throne as a throne. At that time, An'an's family will be in good terms. The power of An'nantian's sect will definitely stand on my side. Although the Gdoula and the Gdwana sect also belong to the throne, their strength is not as strong as me, and even less than Gegewo. They dare not have any other intentions, and they can only support me ascend the throne. Although the only enemy Gegewo is supported by Yang Yinglong, there will be no way out at that time. When I become the Venerable, I will find an opportunity to kill him, and the overall situation can be determined!"
Thinking of this, a decisive light flashed in the eyes of the Gemao man: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get a tiger's son? Since you have a jade plaque in your hand, I will make a breakthrough in this temple no matter what!"

The bright moon is as bright as veil. The water surface is always filled with mist, reflected by the moonlight. It is like a dream. In the evening, it looks like a hellish scenery, but at this time it has a kind of elegance like heaven.
Ye Xiaotian slept soundly against a smooth stone. The stone was a little warm, probably because of the ground heat. After running around for a day during the day, Ye Xiaotian was really tired, so he slept very heavily at this time.
Zhan Ning'er slept on another huge rock not far away. The stone was smooth and there was a small depression in the middle, just in time to stay. Although the stone was a little harder, it was the best bed for her, who was exhausted both physically and mentally, so she slept very well.
Not far away, under the moonlight, a group of red bugs slowly crawled over. Countless insects were a little black in the night, and the brown-red rocks perfectly concealed their whereabouts. Only when they crawled across the ground can they vaguely discover their existence. Countless bugs gathered together, like a light black carpet, slowly spreading along the ground.
Ye Xiaotian and Zhan Ning'er ate only one-third of the fat fish weighing more than ten pounds. Fish bones were thrown on the ground and most of the fish were still worn on the branches. The fishy smell attracted the attention of insects. The "worm carpet" aimlessly spread forward gradually swept towards the place where Ye Xiaotian and Zhan Ning'er were sleeping.
Bai Xiaoxiao tiptoed over, smelled the scent of the fish, and couldn't help swallowing her saliva. She was also tired and hungry on that day. Looking at Zhan Ning'er and Ye Xiaotian who were sleeping, Bai Xiaoxiao reached out to take the branch wearing the big fish into her hand.
As soon as the big fish was grilled, the scales had fallen off. Because the fish meat was thick enough, the internal organs would not be bitten even if they were not cleaned. Bai Xiaoxiao took a bite with confidence. Although the grilled fish was a little cold, it still smelled fragrant. The fish meat was in her mouth, making people salivate.
Bai Xiaoxiao gnawed for a while and wiped out part of the big fish. Only then did the hunger in her belly disappear. Bai Xiaoxiao carefully put the fish back on the bracket and gently raised the knife in her hand.
After thinking for a while, Bai Xiaoxiao decided to kill Zhan Ning'er and keep Ye Xiaotian. Zhan Ning'er's martial arts skills are better than hers and are too dangerous. If you miss this good opportunity, you may not have a chance to attack next time. Ye Xiaotian is not good at martial arts and can be at her mercy.
Bai Xiaoxiao was also full of fear of this strange forbidden area and was unwilling to face it alone, so she wanted to keep the person who was less threatening as her companion. If she wanted to kill, she had to wait until she broke out of this forbidden area before she could talk. Her idea had been settled, so Bai Xiaoxiao quietly touched Zhan Ning'er who was sleeping.
"puff……"
Bai Xiaoxiao was about to approach Zhan Ning'er, but she made a sound of stomping something under her feet. She hurriedly stopped and looked carefully at Zhan Ning'er. Seeing that she was not awakened, she looked down and found nothing under her feet, so she carefully took another step.
"puff……"
Another sound, Bai Xiaoxiao stopped in annoyance, and saw that Zhan Ning'er had not woken up yet, so she hurriedly squatted down quietly, trying to see what she had stepped on. She lowered her head to the ground, as if something was squirming, so she reached out to touch her again.
The worms that were wriggling on the ground were trampled to death by Bai Xiaoxiao just now, but more insects rushed over and had already crawled towards her body along her feet. When Bai Xiaoxiao reached out to touch her, the worms on the ground suddenly spread their wings and rushed towards her face.
This insect has extremely poor self-protection ability and can easily be tossed to death. Although it has wings, it can fly not far, at most only one foot, but it is enough for them at this moment. The tiny flying insect immediately pounced on Bai Xiaoxiao and his face.
"ah……"
A scream that was extremely shrill, awakening Zhan Ning'er and Ye Xiaotian who were sleeping.
