Outlying Islands and Different Swordsmen

Chapter 6 Journey Miyun Forest

"It's getting late now, and it's the time when strange beasts are active in Miyun Forest, and it's very dangerous." Mo Xiangzhi said, "But I must go to the city tonight. Miss, are you sure you want to go with me?"

"I must go. Have you ever traveled this road?" Yi Yao asked.

"Through Miyun Forest to reach Lingquan Mountain, there is a passage in the mountain, which can lead directly to Spring Mountain City." Mo Xiangzhi said, "If Miss is determined, come with me."

"Presumably the young master has a perfect method?"

Mo Xiangzhi smiled without explaining, and motioned to leave as soon as possible.

So, the three of them drove away from the south gate of Quanshan City in a carriage, turned to a fork in the road and continued on their way north.

The night is completely dark, there is no cloud in the sky, only the moonlight is pouring down the mountain road like running water.Walking in front of a tall forest, Lingquan Mountain under the moonlight suddenly appeared in front of you, like a black King Kong sitting cross-legged overlooking the world, full of strange feeling.

"From here to the foot of Lingquan Mountain is the Miyun Forest. We are going to enter from here." Mr. Mo lifted the curtain of the car and pointed to a path leading directly to the forest.

The carriage on the trail couldn't move forward, and after the three got out of the carriage, Yi Yao let the carriage and the two hired guards leave first.

"Miss, would it be safer for two more people?" Ling Duo said softly.

"They are only responsible for sending us to Quanshan City, don't let them take risks again." Yi Yao said, "Actually... you should go back too."

"Hmph, Miss, you can't leave me anymore!" Ling Duo said.

Yi Yao nodded, and took the thin silver dragon gun from Ling Duo.

Mo Xiangzhi was a little surprised when he saw it: "I didn't expect Miss Yang to use a gun even though she looks soft? Disrespect, disrespect! I just thought that Miss Lingduo beside you was your bodyguard."

Ling Duo said: "I can't do it, it's Miss who protects me."

Yi Yao smiled wryly: "I only know a few tricks, and what I learned is the "Luo's Spear Manual" written by Luo Shengjing just now."

"Haha, although this person has bad conduct, he is also famous for his marksmanship." Mo laughed.

Yi Yao looked at Lingquan Mountain not far away, and asked: "Mr. Mo, this Lingquan Mountain seems to be not far away. Presumably this Miyun Forest is not too big?"

"This mountain looks close, but once you enter the dense cloud forest, it is very easy to lose your way. So you must follow me closely."

Afterwards, Mo Xiangzhi took out an exquisite sachet from his robe, opened it immediately, took out two dried flowers inside, and handed it to Yiyao and Lingduo.

Although it is already a dried flower, the stamens are restrained, like the feathers of a phoenix tail, reddish-brown in color, and have a unique aroma.Yiyao recalled that her father had taught her to know the fragrance of flowers. The fragrance of this flower should be called "solitary fragrance" - a feeling of self-admiration, glamorous and clear, which is completely different from the appearance of this flower shape.

"This is Yuefengying." Mo Xiangzhi said, "I used to go to Lingquan Mountain occasionally, and when passing through this dense cloud forest, our Mo family would always carry a sachet made of this flower for self-defense. Yuefengying is a unique flower in this forest , it blooms at the full moon, and the aroma is very unique.”

Yiyao's father has dabbled in countless flower plants, and whenever there are special flowers, his father will often introduce them to her.I have never heard of this flower.

"Can this flower avoid the approach of strange beasts?"

Mo Xiangzhi continued: "There are dense trees in the forest, there is fog all year round, and strange animals often travel at night, so they all use the smell as the direction. Before that, people were often buried in the forest because the smell of the human body is completely different from that in the forest, so they suffered a lot. Attacked by alien beasts. And this flower has a unique fragrance, and it is a unique thing in the forest. Alien beasts smell it and take it for granted-this is my perfect method. We have this dried flower with us, and we only need to lighten it later. Move around, speak less while walking, and don't disturb the strange beasts."

"This way, how can I see clearly?"

"Miss, please look at my eyes, our Mo family is born with bright eyes." Mo Xiangzhi pointed to his own eyes.Yi Yao saw his eyes showing light blue light in the dark night.It's kind of scary to look at.

How strange!Yi Yao thought to herself.

This seemed to be safe, and the two followed Mo Xiangzhi into the forest.

The Miyun forest is really opaque, Yi Yao can barely see the outline of the trees, only feel that the trees in the forest are tall, the branches and leaves are densely overlapped, and it seems to be surrounded by mist.Not long after stepping into it, Yiyao didn't know the direction. Trees and mist blocked her sight, and she couldn't see Lingquan Mountain when she looked up. There were only various insects chirping in her ears from time to time, and she could faintly hear animals in the forest far away. The hum of the class.Presumably this is why "Miyun Forest" got its name, Yi Yao thought.

The road is also difficult, with uneven stones at the feet, and there seem to be various low plants and moss.

Mo Xiangzhi was very careful. He walked ahead and asked Yiyao to hand him the end of the gun. Yiyao held the end of the gun and let him lead the way.Ling Duo was very scared, and held Yi Yao's arm tightly the whole time.

In fact, Yiyao is also very scared. She has always been timid and cowardly. If it weren't for so many things that happened these days--dreams, assassinations, exercises, retreating from the enemy, finding her father...that forced her to become stronger, she would still be just a member of the foreign government. The pampered eldest lady can only do a little bit of punching and embroidering her legs.

"My lord, my lord..." After walking for about half an hour, Yi Yao asked Mo Xiangzhi softly, "How long will it take to get out of this forest?"

Mo Xiangzhi was about to answer, suddenly!All three of them heard rustling noises behind them, as if something was approaching quickly, knocking away the branches and leaves of various trees.

"Ah!" Lingduo cried softly in fear, "Could it be some strange beast?"

While the three of them hesitated, they could only hear the movement getting louder and getting closer.And listening to the sound, this thing seems to be not small...

"Hurry up! It might be a strange beast." Mo Xiangzhi said, pulling the spear, and led Yiyao and Lingduo forward quickly, "Let's walk more lightly, bend down, and don't be hit by trees."

After walking for half an hour just now, the three of them seemed to have a tacit understanding, bent forward and walked quickly.There was still a rustling sound behind him.

After walking for about an incense stick, the sound behind him gradually faded away.

"Mo... Mr. Mo, can we take a break." Ling Duo said, "My lady and I can't walk anymore."

Yi Yao also panted.

"Miss, hold on a little longer, I think I'll be able to go out in less than an hour." Mo Xiangzhi said, "Don't stay here."

"Ah? Another hour?" Lingduo sighed, and involuntarily took a step back.

click!
The sound of dead wood breaking came from under his feet, which was extremely loud in the dull and silent forest.

It turned out that Lingduo had stepped on a large hollow dead tree by the side of the road.

The three of them were in astonishment, when they suddenly heard the voice chasing them just now, approaching at a faster speed than before, as if it was about to appear behind them.

"Mr. Mo," Yi Yao pulled the gun, signaling Mo Xiangzhi to put down the other end of the gun.

At this time, no matter what kind of strange beast it is, Yi Yao can only face it head-on.
