Chapter 89: The Youtian Valley
The red-haired woman behaved strangely, but Lu Heng's "Wickedness" was not inferior to her.
The other party was so naive to "Fight" with Lu Heng, so Lu Heng wanted to see how the woman would deal with it.
He directly took Huo Feng and Xiao Ai away from the road and ran through the wilderness.
Rugged mountain paths, steep mountains, and primitive forests all quickly disappeared behind them.
Although Lu Heng and Xiao Ai seemed to be walking slowly, they moved a few feet with every step and walked in the mountains with ease and freehand brushwork. All the beasts in the mountains encountered along the way were scared and fled in panic.
Huo Feng, lying on the back of the Bo horse, tightly hugged the neck of the Bo horse for fear of being thrown out.
This Bo horse is worthy of being a horse that can travel thousands of miles a day. Even in such rugged and difficult wilderness forests, it can maintain a very fast speed.
In Lu Heng's previous life, the means of transportation that traveled thousands of miles a day was not uncommon, but it needed a smooth and open good road surface.
But this Bo horse can run quickly in the wooded wilderness, completely ignoring gravity, and all obstacles are easily crossed by it.
Even in the face of the surging river water, this Bo horse can also directly tread the waves and wade.
Such a picture that breaks common sense makes Lu Heng exclaim. It is indeed a beast, and it can't be judged by common sense.
By the time the sunset fell and the stars and moon hung high, the people had been far away from the boundary of Baishi city and went down thousands of miles to the south.
Huo Feng was lying on the horse's back, his eyes were dizzy, and his ears kept ringing.
This one-day experience of lying on the back of the Bo horse, if converted to Lu Heng's previous life, may be regarded as lying on the roof of a high-speed car all day.
The strong wind whistling when the horse was racing violently shook Huo Feng's eardrums.
Although Lu Heng gave him some protection, the young man still looked like he was dying.
"I… I found for the first time that it's not good to be too fast," said Huo Feng, who slid down from the Bo horse with a bitter face and sat on the ground sighing.
Lu Heng smiled and said, "Don't sigh, sit down and have a rest. Xiao Ai, pour a glass of wine for Brother Huo to relieve his fatigue."
Lu Heng's words made Huo Feng's eyes light up in an instant.
He hurriedly got up from the ground, dragged his body slowly shaking and turning blue, and said with a smile, "You're too polite, Lord Wolf God."
Lu Heng laughed, but didn't speak. After watching Xiao Ai take out peach blossom wine and pour a cup to Huo Feng, he said, "Have a rest and have a good sleep. Tomorrow we will continue on our way."
Huo Feng happily held the peach blossom wine poured by the little girl for him and nodded repeatedly.
Although he hasn't drunk it yet, the peach blossom wine given by the Wolf God is completely worth the suffering of the whole day!
After taking the cup of peach blossom wine, Huo Feng immediately crossed his knees and closed his eyes, trying to comb spirit Qi in his body with the help of the wine.
Although there is no effect in the end, the fatigue of the body has been completely eliminated.
After this night, the red-haired woman didn't come back. At dawn the next day, Lu Heng's small team set off again.
This time, it was still a gallop all the way south.
However, in order to take care of Huo Feng, Lu Heng took the initiative to slow down. When night fell, they had only traveled a thousand miles or so.
In this way, Lu Heng traveled during the day and rested at night. They crossed barren mountains and rivers.
Finally, he arrived at the Youtian Valley on the fifth day after he separated from the red-haired woman.
By this time, the road under Lu Heng's feet began to be dominated by plains, steep and rugged mountain roads like Baishi city were rare.
Even if there are mountains in view they are mostly low hills.
The plain with flat roads forms a vast land. The complicated water system flowing on the plain has fragmented the whole southern plain.
And the Youtian Valley is located on the edge of such a vast plain, in a mountain range that is not steep.
The mountains are shrouded in white fog all year round. Strangers are not allowed to enter.
While walking in the mountains, Huo Feng explained, "It is said that there is a spring hole in the valley. The spring water is freezing to the bone. If a living person touches it, his bones and flesh will disappear."
"Though this spring is extraordinary, few rarely visit."
"It's because the valley is shrouded in white fog all year round. Ghosts and souls are entrenched in the fog. If ordinary living people rush in, they will be separated and die."
"Therefore, although this Youtian Valley is only 40 miles away from the Youzhi City, the residents in the city never dare to get close to this mountain, so this place is rarely visited."
While Huo Feng explained, they had stepped into the misty mountains.
At the moment of entering the fog, Lu Heng frowned slightly and felt a little cold.
This white fog is really not ordinary mountain fog.
While Huo Feng led the Bo horse to walk in the fog and dared not leave Lu Heng too far.
As he walked, he said, "I met a senior brother of the Yun sect not long ago. I heard the news from him that Wu Gu, one of the ten witches of the Spirit mountain, had recently come to this Youtian Valley to refine medicine."
"According to legend, Witch Wu Gu is the most temperamental and kind-hearted of the ten witches of the Spirit mountain. Now I bring this fat bird to the door, and maybe I can get her treatment."
Huo Feng said, looking at the bird cage hanging on the back of the Bo horse.
In the cage, the fat bird has lost its vitality when it was first caught after several days of travel torture. Now it lies sick in the cage, shaking with the cage up and down, completely giving up the struggle.
Seeing the sickly appearance of this strange bird, Huo Feng couldn't help laughing, "This fat bird is extraordinary. If I use it, I'll just sell it for money or as an antidote to expel insects."
"But Witch Wu Gu's medical skills are outstanding. Only when this fat bird falls into her hands can it be regarded as the best thing… Huh?"
Just halfway through what Huo Feng said, he suddenly noticed something, stopped his figure, frowned and looked at the fog ahead.
The pale fog swirled in the valley.
Unconsciously, they have come to the mouth of the Youtian valley.
Although they couldn't see the shape of the valley clearly in the fog, the stone tablet engraved with the words "Youtian Valley" at the mouth of the valley was clearly visible.
But what attracted the attention of Huo Feng was not the stone tablet, but the strange sound in the Youtian valley.
In a trance just now, he seemed to see a human figure walking through the Youtian Valley…
Lu Heng looked at the valley in front of him and said, "The cold air in the valley is a little stronger than the wind outside. It's not surprising that ghosts and Demons occupy such a place full of dark Qi and evil… It's all right, just move forward, and I'll protect you."
Lu Heng's words let Huo Feng breathe a sigh of relief. He quickly bowed his hands and said, "Thank you, Wolf God."
With that, Huo Feng took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and walked directly into the fog in front of him.
Behind him, the huge white wolf and the little girl with silver hair and ears also followed silently.
The moment the two people and a wolf stepped into the valley, the fog surged. In the depths of the white fog, something seemed to be disturbed…
