twenty-four, mountain eagle(1/2)

Ling Xi squatted by a river, drank a sip of water with his hands together, and looked at the horse racing track that was pouring water into the water bag: "How long will it take for us to arrive?"

"It's still far." Marseille didn't raise his head: "I'm only halfway."

He stood up and blocked the mouth of the water bag with a plug, pointed to a mountain with snow falling in the distance and said, "Across that mountain, it is the triangle area of ​​the Beiguan Mountains. Kama lives inside, we cannot go in, we must bypass the triangle area."

"Kama? Is the name of that spirit beast?"

Marseille shook his head: "No, Kamaan refers to the god who guards the Beiguan Mountains. It is said that it lives in the triangle area. The spirit beast is the mount that guards Kamaan's house."

Ling Xi looked at the mountain peaks in the distance, "Are you gods?" After saying that, he shook his head and smiled, crossed the river and walked towards the depths.

The three of them came to a cliff at the foot of the mountain. Marseille reached out and pulled a dead vine, looked up at the cliff and said, "Let's go up with these vines."

He skillfully walked around the vines a few times, tied a dead knot, and climbed up step by step on the cliff.

Ling Xi learned his binding method and tied a strong-looking dry vine to his body.

Ling Xiaojie couldn't tie it up, so she threw the vine on the cliff and said, "Damn, this thing has a grudge against me."

Ling Xi glanced at him. Ling Xiaozhu had been drinking for a long time after experiencing Qing Mingyue's incident, and his body was much thinner than before.

Ling Xi reached out and grabbed the vine and said to him, "Come here, I'll tie it for you." Ling Xi helped him tie it to his body, raised his legs and climbed upwards.

Ling Xi was halfway through, and suddenly saw something shiny from the corner of his eyes. A lonely grass emitting fluorescent light grew in the cracks of the rocks, not far from him.

Ling Xi's mind was filled with an old reminder: "The grass is called a cliff, and it is a lonely person. It is only used to improve the realm. It is only born on the unmanned cliff to absorb the essence of heaven and earth, and it can be eaten by a pair, otherwise it will be heartbroken."

Ling Xi touched the bag on his body and carefully recalled what could be used.

Ling Xi had a sudden inspiration and said softly: "Life."

A piece of gravel spread out from the rock wall not far below him, allowing him to easily reach the grass with a place to stand.

Ling Xi reached out and pulled out the lonely cliff grass, and a tingling sensation came from his hand. Several small thorns on the edge of the grass pierced into his hand.

Ling Xi quickly changed his hand and pulled out the small thorn and looked at the grass.

The grass leaves all over the lonely cliff are in a translucent state, emitting green fluorescence along the veins. You can smell the unique fragrance of the spiritual grass carefully. The fragrance is quite light and can be dissipated with a wave of hand, but it lasts for a long time.

For some reason, Ling Xi held the grass in his hand and felt a faint sorrow in his heart, like a thorn in his throat.

Ling Xiaojie climbed up from below and saw Ling Xi alone holding the grass in a daze, shouting: "Hey? Ling Xi? Are you stupid?"

Ling Xi came to his senses, put the cliff grass in his arms, and replied: "I just found a spiritual grass."

Ling Xiaozhe said with a little enviousness: "It's OK? Why don't I have the luck? I can pick up spiritual grass on the road. You must have stolen it."

"I'm so lucky, what can you do?" Ling Xi grabbed the vine and continued to climb upwards with an indifferent tone.

Ling Xiaozhi looked at the rock walls on both sides, and there was nothing but the bare stones. He complained softly and followed Ling Xi.

Somewhere in the jungle, the road was dull and leading the way in the front.

Yuantang led people behind him, and Yuanying was tied up.

One of the people asked Yuantang in confusion: "Sir, why do we have to walk this mountain road? Wouldn't it be faster to search with birds?"

Yuantang turned his head and said to him, "Do you think he knows him? He is only in his early twenties, so it would be good to be able to walk this path. Do you expect him to be familiar with it so that he can accurately identify the path from the sky? What we are looking for is Ling Xi on this road, not to cross the Beiping Mountains."

The man lowered his head and said, "I was the one who made a mistake. But sir, at this speed, when will we catch up with him?"

"No hurry, they will definitely not dare to cross the triangle area, and we will not have such concerns. Lord Yuankang will sit behind us and search for the Qinglong King, what are you afraid of?"

Yuantang snorted coldly and urged the road leading ahead: "Hurry up, you won't be able to die if you walk like this."

The road did not respond, leading the way forward like a walking corpse.

Yuan Tang raised his foot and kicked him down on the wet pile of fallen leaves, shouting loudly: "Didn't you hear me?" He pulled out his straight knife and pointed it at Ma Ying: "If you make me foolish, I will strip her naked and throw it into the cliff!"

The road silently got up from the ground, pulled out the thorns that pierced the skin, and said in a low voice: "I have never walked this road, I only heard my father say it."

One person was going to fight: "Then you said you would bring us here!"

"That's because you all know you have been killed!" Ma Lu lowered his head and clenched his fists.

After a few seconds of silence around, Yuantang said, "You will definitely die. No matter what the result is, we will silence you. However," Yuantang paused and looked at Ma Ying who was still unconscious: "She doesn't know anything, so we won't kill her. You have to try your best to bring us to that person. If he is letting him run away, then you and her will die, do you understand?"

"I know." The road tightened the bandages wrapped around the bridge of his nose, turned around and walked forward with them.

Ling Xi climbed up the towering cliff, exhaled a long breath, and wiped off the sweat beads from the tip of his nose.

Ling Xiaozhe collapsed aside with sweat on her face and said intermittently: "Why is it so high? It's so fatal. I almost fell down."

Because of his age, it was very difficult to climb the cliff, and was even surpassed by Ling Xi later.

Ling Xi casually found a big stone and sat down, and said to Ling Xiaojing: "You are not even as good as Ma Lu Dad. He is an ordinary person who has never practiced."

Marseille also sat aside, wiped the sweat off her face and looked at the sun hanging high in the sky, took out a big cake and said, "It's getting late, let's rest here for a while before going on."

Ling Xiaojie raised half of his hand and said, "I have no objection, let me sleep here and then talk about other things."

Ling Xi was bored and chatted with Marseille: "Isn't anyone in your village practicing?"

Marseille took out a tobacco gun and took a sip, spit out a phlegm and said, "I had it when I was a child. But no one would want to stay in this poor village. Even if we are working hard and marshals, we would earn more than we would hunt in the village."

"Didn't you think about sending the road out to the martial arts hall to practice? I think he is a rare and good material."

Marseille smiled bitterly, shook the grass in the smoke gun and said, "Where is that money to send him? People ask for fifty taels of silver as tuition, and our family can save 4 taels of rice a year. In the future, we have to ask for money for him to marry a wife and Ma Ying. Fortunately, the third brother died early, so we don't have to worry about him."

After saying that, Marseille sighed: "But it's different now. After I go back, I will use my money to renovate the houses in the village, take the children to live in the city, buy them a house, open a school, and hire a teacher to teach the children in the village to read. They can't live in the village like us. If you recognize words, you can still make a living outside."

Ling Xi smiled and looked at the endless jungle below and said, "Do you know something? I don't know what to call it. It's just that at night, I've seen animals with only skeletons in the jungle. "

"Skeleton?" Marseille took a sip of dry tobacco and looked like he was not surprised: "Those skeletons are slaves of mountain gods. As long as you don't provoke them, they won't do anything to you. And not only animals, but also humans. I have seen them many times. The old man in our village said that those who come to the Beiping Mountains with evil thoughts will be punished by mountain gods and wander around the Beiping Mountains."

"Ha." Ling Xi chuckled and stood up: "It seems that you mountain gods are really omnipotent, they are in charge of such a large Beiping Mountains."

Marseille had eaten up all the cakes in his hand and put away the dry tobacco and said, "You're almost done resting. Let's go?"

Ling Xi glanced at the sky. It was already afternoon, and a thin layer of clouds covered the sun. It was the right time.

He picked up a stone and hit Ling Xiaozhi's belly: "Wake up, stop sleeping."

Ling Xiaojie was hit by a stone and immediately stood up and said, "I just wanted to sleep, why are you so anxious? Are you afraid that there will be something to eat you?"

Seeing that Ling Xi woke up Ling Xiaojie, she stopped talking and looked up at the upper part of the cliff and said, "What should I do on it? There are no more vines."

Marseille stood up and patted his clothes, and came to the edge of the cliff and said, "I have climbed with bare hands. At least I have climbed it a few hundred times. The route is already familiar. Just follow me."

"I don't have to." Ling Xi clapped his hands, and stepped on the cliff with two runs.

Marseille was about to stop drinking, but Ling Xi leaned out his hand and a protrusion automatically grew from the cliff for him to catch it.

Next, no matter where Ling Xi reached, a stone would appear to cushion him.

Ling Xi was extremely relaxed and climbed the cliff like having fun.

Marseille had never seen this before, and was so surprised that she couldn't speak. Ling Xiaojie stood up behind her, slapped the dust on her body and said, "It's not a trivial matter that he practices Yuan Ling, can control everything, and let a stone grow out."

Ling Xi stood on the cliff and looked down: "Hey, you two should come up quickly. We still have to climb the mountain behind us."

Ling Xiaozhe responded, grabbed the stone and rubbed it towards it.

Marseille followed him. When the two climbed to halfway up the cliff, a melodious eagle roar suddenly came from the sky.

Marseille's face changed and he urged: "Go up quickly, Shanying is eyeing us."

A mountain eagle that was several people flapped its wings and fell down from a height of 1,000 meters, staring at the two people climbing on the mountainside with sharp eyes. The two were halfway up the mountain, unable to avoid it, and being caught would be dead.

Seeing this, Ling Xi looked around and wanted to find something that could block Shanying. She gritted her teeth and took off her robe and waved it in her hand, attracting Shanying's attention and shouted: "Beast! I'm here!"

Shanying twisted his neck, changed direction, and swooped towards Ling Xi.

Ling Xi drew out a stone sword and pointed it at the mountain eagle in the air.

Shanying stretched out her claws and grabbed Ling Xi's shoulders directly. The stone sword in Ling Xi's hand slashed into the air, and the whole person was instantly dragged into the air.

Ling Xi only felt a sensation of dizziness coming, and he had already flown into the sky. The whimpering sound of wind blew past his ears, and Ling Xi's flesh on his shoulders was hooked out by the eagle's claws and hung in the air.

He gritted his teeth and grabbed one of Shanying's legs, raised the stone sword in his hand and stabbed it into Shanying's lower abdomen.

The mountain eagle roared and kicked his claws, directly tearing away the flesh on Ling Xi's right shoulder.

Blood was spilling out in the air, and Ling Xi almost fainted from pain.

The mountain eagle kept hovering in the air, trying to throw Ling Xi down the cliff and die, but Ling Xi held one of its legs tightly and did not let go.

He shouted, grabbed the stone sword with all his strength, and the wound on his right shoulder also moved, and gurgling blood flowed out.

Ling Xi held the stone sword tightly and pulled it down, lifted the mountain eagle open, and the internal organs and blood flowed out from it, pouring it on Ling Xi's head.

The flapping wings of the mountain eagle gradually became weak. When it flew to a high altitude, its wings remained straight and allowed its body to slide down.

Ling Xi fell heavily on the snow and was pressed down by the mountain eagle.

Fortunately, the snow on the mountain peaks helped him offset the impact, otherwise Ling Xi might have died here with Shanying.

He crawled out from under the corpse of the mountain eagle, and the world in his eyes was a little blurred.

Ling Xi shook his head, opened his eyes again, and faced a cave in front of him.

The mountain eagle gasped weakly on the snow beside it, obviously not dead yet. The blood under it soaked in the snow and appeared from under it. Its eyes were staring at the cave, and its body gradually became stiff.

Ling Xi covered the wound on his right shoulder and staggered into the cave.
