Chapter 8 The Treasure Place

Update time: 2013-02-20

The night in the mountains always comes faster, a layer of mist rises, and the light in the cave quickly dim. If the forests in the daytime are relatively calm, then at night, it is the time when all the bulls, ghosts and snakes appear. Most beasts in the mountains like to come out to find food at night. From time to time, short but fierce fighting sounds are heard, as the prey wails at death, or the coldness in the air seems to be heavier.

Mo Yu's eyes slowly opened. In the dark cave, he looked calm. He reached out and touched the package on his right hand, opened it easily in the direction he had recorded, took out the jerky meat and water and started eating again. The exhausted physical strength and the repair of the damaged forbidden fascia require more nutrients, and the food he ate is the only source of nutrition. As for the elixir, it is a treasure that only the high-ranking adults of various sects are qualified to use.

The night in the mountains in autumn is particularly cold, and the air is like invisible knifes, cutting the surface of the skin with fine pain. But even with flint, Mo Yu has no idea of ​​raising a fire. The flames at night can bring light and heat, but they will also be targeted by countless dangers and will remain in this forest forever. So at this time, a piece of animal skin isolated from the cold stone under him seems particularly important. At least it allows Mo Yu to barely resist this bitter cold with the help of the blood flowing in his body.

Chewing and drinking water, everything was going on quietly, and even the sound of swallowing was deliberately lowered to the extreme. The thin line he held in his left hand was still intact, so no matter what sound came from outside, Mo Yu's expression would not change at all. He completed his second eating in the darkness, cleaned up everything in silence, and then continued to close his eyes and felt the slight numbness between the flesh and blood.

When the sun rises, the thick fog lingers makes the trees look ghostly and the noisy jungle slowly return to peace at this moment. The night walkers return to their nests, but the sun walkers have not yet walked out. So now is the best time to hurry.

Mo Yu quickly stood up and quickly checked his body, and his face suddenly showed a look of satisfaction. Yesterday's exhausted physical strength had completely recovered, and the stinging pain in his left leg had been greatly relieved. As long as he was careful, it would not affect his fight. During this process, he was flexible and did not have the stiffness of sitting for a night. Mo Yu carried the package, bent over with a dagger and walked out of the cave, carefully wrapped the black line into the package, and then he jumped gently from the stone more than meter high, and slightly identified the direction. His figure ran and disappeared quickly in the fog that had not yet completely dissipated.

Two days later, Mo Yu stood on a thick branch of a tree and looked into the distance. The huge mountain range in his sight was undulating and spreading, but suddenly rose up not far away. At first, the mountain had a slope, but it began to become steep and rugged. To the higher place, there were clouds that never dissipated all year round, blocking the observation of the vision. However, through the flow of clouds, you could vaguely see the huge black shadow of the mountain, and you could not see its peak at all. Now, this majestic lonely peak was cut off from it to form a huge canyon, and the huge sound waves generated by the impact of the rumbling water flow could be heard a little even here. This magical scene can only be attributed to the creation of heaven and earth, because it is hard to imagine what kind of terrifying power is needed to cut off the entire towering mountain peak from it!

Mo Yu compared the map in his mind and determined that this was the part of the Jugyun River that was sank into the branch of Manshan Mountain. He looked at half of the mountain approaching him, and his eyes suddenly became hot. If the map was not wrong, then this was the place where the treasures were hidden! His body fell flexibly from the tree, took solid steps, and began to trek for the last journey. His steps were still steady, but his face was slightly pale, and there were obvious signs of bandage on his shoulders. A little bloody gauze oozed out of thick gauze, indicating that his injuries were not light.

This was the memorial left to him by two predatory tigers. In return, the dagger in Mo Yu's hand blocked their necks. As he penetrated deep into the branch of the Manshan Mountain, the species of barbarian beasts that appeared gradually increased and their strength continued to increase. If he had not had enough luck and caution, he would have fallen on the road long ago.

The horses were killed by looking at the mountain, and the ups and downs and dangerous mountains made the last section of the road not easy to walk. Mo Yu took half a day to kill four mountain wolves and a pig, and then he walked to the foot of the mountain. His face became paler, his lips lost all blood, and the wounds that barely healed on his shoulders cracked again, dyeing all the gauze red.

He forced himself to support his tired body. Mo Yu found a large tree that was thick enough not far away. His eyes were cautiously swept over, and there was no hidden danger on the tree. Then he climbed up the tree with his hands and feet, and made a brief pause. He carefully applied the orange-red powder he took out on the tree. He sat down on a solid branch until he was three or four meters tall, and gasped in a big mouthful. His already tired body was sore and weak at this moment. He endured the discomfort and carefully treated the wound on his shoulder. After taking out the food in the package, he began to close his eyes and rest.

The treasure was near before his eyes. Although Mo Yu wanted to climb the mountain and search immediately, his weak body could no longer support him. He slowly suppressed the restlessness in his heart, forcing himself to calm down, and his breathing gradually became longer. According to the treasure map, the treasure was hidden on the top of the mountain, but with such a steep and dangerous mountain, Mo Yu did not dare to be careless when it was intact. Now he naturally had to be more cautious. During the climbing, any mistake could lead to him falling into the mountain and dying. He walked here dangerously, and naturally he did not want to fail in the end!

Night soon came. Although the wound was treated, the faint smell of blood still attracted the beasts in the forest that were extremely sensitive to the smell of blood. The two mountain wolves first discovered the prey hiding in the tree. They roared and threatened their competitors hidden in the dark, and walked back and forth while the tree was walking back and forth. At midnight, Mo Yu opened his eyes on time and then began to eat at night. After resting for half a day, his physical strength had recovered most of his strength, and the wound on his shoulder was no longer bleeding. Now there were constant slight numbness, like ant crawling on the wound. Mo Yu knew that the wound was recovering quickly.

There are more than a dozen mountain wolves gathered under the tree. They look at the delicious prey on the tree. From time to time, people stand up or jump up with all their limbs, revealing two rows of sharp fangs, which look pale in the moonlight falling between the branches and leaves. A pair of green eyes are like ghost fires jumping in the darkness, making people feel cold in their hearts. But Mo Yu's expression was still calm. He drank two sips of water, silently packed everything, and closed his eyes again. From beginning to end, he did not look at the mountain wolves gathered under the tree.

As time passed, the wolves gradually became irritable. During this period, two tigers arrived, but they just stood still from afar and quickly turned around and left in the threat of the wolves. In the second half of the night, the wolves retreated in groups of three or three to look for other preys.

Spend it safely overnight.

The next day, Mo Yu was still staying in the tree. He was not only eating, but also resting so that the wound on his shoulder could recover as soon as possible. According to the consumption rate of dry food in his hands, at most one day, he would start climbing the mountain.

The night fell again, and another group of wolves arrived. However, this time they paused for a while and left each other. It was obvious that they had no ability to catch delicious prey on the tree. It was just as it was dawn, a fat mountain bear came under the tree. It stood up and its wide forefoot palm slapped on the tree. Suddenly, the wood vase broke and flew, and the whole tree was trembling violently, which was enough to show its amazing power. The overlord of the mountain wandered around for a while before turning around and shaking his body and disappeared from sight. It was not until it was confirmed that it had left that Mo Yu breathed a sigh of relief and continued to rest.

On the third day, everything was calm. The surrounding beasts seemed to know that they could not do anything about Mo Yu and gradually ignored his existence. However, before dawn late at night, a colorful poisonous snake slowly climbed up along the tree body. Its body was five or six feet long, and the Xinzi spitted it out from time to time. The snake's eyes were cold and cold looking at the prey above, and its long body hovered upwards. The scales rubbed against the bark, and no sound was made.

With this unique skill of hiding life, it has hunted countless difficult preys. The person on the tree will soon become the prey under its poisonous fangs. It will have five or six days of food rations and can rest comfortably for a few days. But when it was still more than a meter away from Mo Yu, its body suddenly shook, and there was obvious dizziness in the cold snake's eyes. It fell on the ground with a soft "pop", and it tumbling for a few times before barely recovering. It flew away in panic. The realgar powder smeared on the tree finally played its due role.

When the sky was about to be clear, the surrounding area gradually became quiet. This was the safest time for the mountains and forests in a day. Mo Yu stood on the branches and moved his arms. The wound had barely healed. Although there was still some impact, as long as he didn't use too much force, he should be fine. His body flexibly climbed down from the tree, and his feet fell to the ground without any pause. He ran straight to the peak that suddenly rose up in front of him. The dry food was exhausted, and the urgent time did not allow him to continue waiting. He would climb the mountain to search for treasure today!

Mo Yu's muscles were tense, and with the help of bumps or cracks on the rocks, his body kept climbing up like a flexible monkey. The initial two hundred meters of mountain had a slope, but after crossing, it became extremely steep, and even the exposed parts of the mountain that could be leveraged by force began to decrease. Mo Yu raised his head and looked for places to climb, and quickly calculated in his mind to choose the most labor-saving way. His speed was inevitably affected, but it was still much faster than ordinary people. He couldn't get through, so he stabbed the rock with the dagger in his hand and continued to move upwards with force.

Looking at the mountain from afar, but only by truly climbing up can you truly understand how high it is. Mo Yu has been climbing for two consecutive hours and penetrated into the clouds and mist, but when he looked up, he saw that the rocks stretched out and sank into the clouds and mists, and he didn't know where the end was. Although his breathing was still calm, it had become much deeper than the beginning. The fine sweat beads of the tip of his nose evaporated quickly in the Wuwhistle Mountain wind, but strangely, the clouds and mist lingering in the mountains were not affected by the mountain wind at all and were not blown away.
