The Whispering Forest was shrouded in faint mist, and it was as quiet as a dead land, except for the occasional sound of rustling trees being blown by the wind.
The three of them dispersed their consciousness and walked vigilantly in the forest.
It is impossible to fly in this secret realm. It is said that if you fly at low altitude, you will attract unknown dangers, and if you fly higher, you will simply be torn apart by the storm in the nine heavens, even the powers of the cave realm are no exception.
Therefore, the three of them can only walk in the complex surface environment on foot, and the speed cannot be increased.
Many places in the Whispering Forest are full of strange blood-red flowers, and some of them bear fruits, which seem to be of great value.
It's just that those flowers and fruits were not on the way of the three of them. The three of them suppressed the idea of picking them and hurried past.
This was a pain for the white ape, who lay on Gu Chen's shoulder all the way and watched those strange flowers and fruits drooling, but couldn't even touch a single leaf.
"Woo--"
When he was about to leave the Whispering Forest, the surrounding fog suddenly thickened, and there were strange shadows swaying in the fog, coming from all directions, as if they were going to surround Gu Chen and the three of them.
Under the shadows of ghosts, the three of them felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
"Don't pay attention to those unknown existences, they won't really come close. Our ancestors said that this kind of thing just wants to scare us and make us run around in a panic."
"If we stray from the correct route because of this, we will be lost in the Whispering Forest forever."
Gu Ziyan nervously reminded that she obviously did a lot of homework before entering the secret realm.
It's just knowing that it's the same thing. Seeing the group of ghosts seeming to be close at hand, baring their teeth and claws, people still can't help but have the urge to run away.
Fortunately, the three of them were all highly skilled and bold, so they bit the bullet and continued to move forward surrounded by many ghosts. After a while, they finally walked out of the Whispering Forest.
There was a flat and open grassland in front of them, and the ghosts receded in the mist behind them, and they no longer followed them, which made the three heaved a sigh of relief.
It's just a forest at the starting point, but it's so evil!
"There's a boulder over there to the east, and we're heading straight for it."
Gu Shenming took out the map, pointed to a mountain-like rock in the distance and said.
At this time, the night has gradually passed, and it is dawn, and the east is pale.
Gu Chen's purple pupils lit up habitually, absorbing the ray of purple air coming from the east when the sun was rising.
Strangely, the purple air absorbed in this place is far stronger than usual.
"Where is this place? It's different from ordinary secret realms."
Gu Chen murmured, whether it is the Kunlun Continent or the Fairy Continent, gravity and celestial phenomena will not give him such a sense of difference.
Similar to this place is the world of Jiuyang Jiuyue in the Time Stone, where the celestial power is also abnormal, but the two are obviously different.
The three of them faced the rising sun and started to move forward on the grassland. The sky was gradually getting brighter, and with Gu Chen's strong eyesight, he could easily see scenes hundreds of miles away.
He looked to the north and found a huge black skeleton of a strange beast. The skeleton was probably ten thousand feet long, and it looked like a strange building sitting on the grassland.
I don't know how long the skeleton has existed, many places have been weathered, and nests have been built under the pelvis, and there are countless killer bees surging inside, densely packed, making people shudder.
The scenery in the north is scary, Gu Chen looked to the south again, there are huge pits there, I don't know how to form them, making the grassland riddled with holes.
When he looked carefully, he could find many rusted and damaged weapons along the way, and many knife marks and arrow holes were left on the surface of the ground. I don't know how many thousands of years have passed, but they still exist, which makes people look at it for a long time. , inexplicably sad in my heart.
"This is like an ancient battlefield."
Gu Chen murmured, he originally thought that the ancestral land of the Gu clan was just the ancestral land of the Gu clan, but judging from the various situations in this secret realm, it might be more than that.
"Squeak! Squeak!"
The distressed cries of the white ape often sounded out. The little guy has the uncanny ability to recognize treasures, and seems to sense the existence of some treasures in various parts of the grassland.
It's just that it can also sense some unknown dangers, so it can only look longingly at the distant direction, with both arms hanging on Gu Chen's back, swaying and swaying, with a look of lovelessness.
Several hours later, the three finally arrived at the boulder, and found that it turned out to be a strange giant statue.
There was a human face engraved on the stone, which looked lifelike. It was chilling, but the eyes of this stone figure were bleeding out all the time.
The blood was deep red and thick, dripping continuously on the ground, and over time, a dark red river of blood formed around the huge stone statue, with a terrifying aura.
"The stone bleeds, is it alive? Now I don't doubt that the pill will run away when it grows legs."
Seeing this scene, Gu Shenming smiled wryly.
Along the way, there are many things in this secret realm that they cannot understand.
"With this stone statue as the center, go south for about two days, and you will see the Hengduan Mountains, and the location of the elixir we are looking for is in the Hengduan Mountains. After passing through the Hengduan Mountains, we will arrive at the ancestral land of our family. "
Gu Ziyan looked at the map and analyzed, because the stone statue was really weird, and the blood river was even more uncomfortable, the three of them did not stop, and continued to move forward.
Two days passed quickly, and the three of them saw many strange and incomprehensible phenomena along the way, and forcibly held back the greed that arose many times along the way.
They saw many treasures, some were rare ores in the Fairy Continent, and some were medicinal herbs that had grown for tens of thousands of years or even longer.
It's just that these things are not as important as the chance of the elixir and the ancestral land, and the three of them gave up the adventure after calming down.
"I've been walking for two days, where is the Hengduan Mountains?"
The three of them walked for two days, and they were still in the endless flat area. It stands to reason that if there were mountains in front of them, they should be able to see them at this time, but the fact is that there are no ghosts in front of them.
This made the three of them wonder if they had gone the wrong way. If so, there would be a big problem!
"Go ahead and have a look."
Gu Chen said solemnly, and the three of them accelerated forward.
Not long after, there was a huge sound of water flowing ahead, and Gu Chen thought about it. "That is……"
His pupils shrank slightly, his footsteps accelerated again, and soon he saw a scene that he would never forget.
I saw that the grassland suddenly broke at the end, and there was a huge waterfall below!
They were just upstream of the waterfall, which seemed to cut off the sky and flowed down three thousand feet.
And below the waterfall, there is a huge mountain range, where the vegetation is lush and lush, the roar of tigers and the cries of monkeys are constant, and there are even huge strange birds soaring in the sky!
"No wonder it's called the Hengduan Mountains! The terrain here is too weird!"
Gu Shenming clicked his tongue, who would have thought that the mountain is not on the top but on the bottom, the Jiutian Waterfall is too spectacular.
"There! The gourd-shaped mountain below is our destination, where the elixir is located!"
Gu Ziyan's slender finger pointed to a certain place below, and said excitedly.
