The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 112 Danxun Mountain

"That's..." Yang Yang glanced at him uncertainly.

The latter nodded and said, "Well, this is where that old friend of Lao Gu saw Lao Hu chasing people."

"This is the Danxun Mountain in the legend?" Yang Yang said in surprise, turned his head to look at the mountain not far away, and said after a while, "It doesn't look different, does it?"

"Hehe..." Yuan Mu didn't speak, but shook his head with a smile and said, "Of course you can't see it. Over the years, the geology has changed so much. Let alone you, I also thought of a lot of ways to do it. I’m sure.” But he didn’t say a word about how he was sure.

If he didn't tell, Yang Yang naturally didn't ask, anyway, even if he asked, he wouldn't necessarily know.

The conversation between the two ended here. In the evening, Yuan Mu and the hotel owner inquired about a restaurant with a good reputation in the local area. They ate their bellies and returned to the hotel.

When I went upstairs, I happened to meet the proprietress of the hotel. The proprietress told them that the weather is not very good these days and it may rain. If they want to go up the mountain, they should be prepared.

The crowd looked at the proprietress in surprise, and asked, "How did you know we were going up the mountain?"

"Hey, you outsiders don't know what's wrong. Recently, you always run up the mountain. There is no gold or silver on this mountain. You are already the third wave here. Since half a month ago, there have been outsiders. He ran up the mountain. He also asked us if he had seen a kind of big-eared mouse on the mountain. Our place is a grassland, and there are still groundhogs. Isn’t the big-eared mouse something from cartoons? "

The proprietress frowned, as if she had a lot of dissatisfaction with these outsiders.

"Oh, we are different from them. We just like hiking. We just got off the plane from the provincial capital a few days ago and wanted to come here to experience the pure grassland style." Yuan Mu shook his head with a smile, and asked again: "Oh, You said we are the third wave, when did the previous wave leave?"

"The previous wave... I moved in about a week ago, and asked us about the big-eared mice everywhere. Later, I didn't know why, and I hurriedly checked out the night before. Later, I heard from others that it was Went into the mountains overnight."

"Going into the mountains overnight? This is urgent enough." Yuan Mu asked pretending to be curious, "Who did you hear that from?"

"Who else can it be? My husband's brother! He is the driver of our county. When the group of people went out, they happened to catch up with him driving to find my husband. They stopped his car and asked him to take them to the foot of the mountain. , My uncle didn’t want to go at first, but the money he gave was so much! It’s a whole 500 yuan! It’s worth his car fare for a week. After he came back, he told us about this and joked that he didn’t know What kind of treasure is there on that mountain, but..."

The proprietress paused for a while, pretending to be mysterious and lowered her voice, and said, "I've heard from our elders since I was a child that there are some things on that mountain that we can't touch, so don't wander around on that mountain if you're fine."

"Are you talking about the mountain in the north?" Yu Zhongwu asked suddenly at this moment: "The one we can see from the window in our room?"

"That's right! Besides that mountain, is there any other mountain with such dense trees? Anyway, we locals won't go to that mountain if we have nothing to do." The proprietress nodded, looked at several people and said, "No I said, if you have nothing to do, don't go to that mountain."

"Okay, then let's change to the next mountain." Yuan Mu replied with a smile: "It's all on foot anyway, it's the same everywhere, it's not good to violate your taboo."

"Hey! It's not against our taboo. I also heard from the old people here, but this kind of thing can always be avoided!" When the proprietress heard this, she shook her head and said that it was your choice whether to go or not. Yes, it has nothing to do with me.

"In any case, thank you." Yue Bing, as a girl, stood up to ease the atmosphere at this time, and said: "Then we go up to rest, and you go to bed early."

"Okay, okay!" Seeing such a fair and juicy girl, the proprietress replied with a smile.

So several people went upstairs and went back to their rooms. Yang Yang followed Yuan Mu into the door, feeling a little strange, because according to his personality, he would never say the words "prisoners are taboo", although he always seemed Smiling, but very talkative on many things.

"What happened to you just now?" Yang Yang looked at Yuan Mu who was packing his luggage, and asked, "Why are you talking to me like that?"

"It's nothing, I'm just too tired." The other party replied without raising his head, apparently perfunctory.

Yang Yang opened his mouth and wanted to ask, but when he thought that people were unwilling to talk anymore, it would be meaningless to pester him any longer.

Besides, a mortal would probably not understand the monster's mind, anyway, it's good that he didn't turn his back on him.Thinking of this, Yang Yang yawned and closed his eyes.

Early the next morning, when Yang Yang woke up, the others were already ready. They went downstairs and had breakfast, bought some dry food, and then they went up the mountain.

Yuan Mu didn't bypass Danxun Mountain as he told the proprietress last night, but walked straight towards it.

As soon as he entered the mountain, Yang Yang felt a very strong force pressing on him, but that feeling was fleeting, just like the feeling he had when he was a child looking at the sea of ​​clouds from the window when he was flying for the first time. He was deeply moved by Tiancheng's natural good fortune.

He looked around and found that there was nothing unusual about the other people, so he continued on his way without saying anything.

After walking for more than an hour, as a mortal, he began to have some physical strength. At this moment, Yuan Mu glanced at him and shouted to the large army: "Take a rest."

After finishing speaking, he handed him a bottle of water and said, "Persist a little longer, and you can use the spirit gathering technique if you go a little further in."

"Spirit Gathering Technique?" Yang Yang repeated in surprise.Ever since he learned the spirit-gathering technique in Xiangxi and used it to hurt Fei, he has always wanted to practice the only spell he knows how to use, but after returning to Shanghai, he found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't do anything. Those spirits have been summoned, let alone condensed into a row.

After a long time, he gave up, thinking that the reason why his spirit gathering technique could achieve that effect was because of the blessings of Yuan Mu and Ba She.

Who knew that when he heard this spell from Yuan Mu again today, he couldn't help asking: "It will be available after a while?"

"Well. It's not a deep mountain here. Although the locals don't like to go up the mountain, just in case, it would be bad if someone sees it." Yuan Mu nodded, stood up and patted him on the shoulder and said, "rest Get up and get ready to go."

"I see." Then he thought of something and asked, "Then why can't I use it when I'm in Shanghai?"

"Because the spirit gathering technique gathers the aura of living beings, the aura between mountains and rivers is far greater than that of a big city like Shanghai." Chacha came from behind after resting enough, and replied, "Although humans and all kinds of people in the magic capital There are many kinds of monsters and elves, but there is also a lot of corresponding turbidity, and these turbidity will offset the aura of the living beings to a large extent, so it is normal for you to not be able to use it as a beginner."

"Yes." Yue Bing echoed behind Chacha, and when she saw Yang Yang's frustrated expression, she added: "But don't be discouraged, just practice more."

"Yes, you human beings say that stupid birds fly first, you may still have hope if you practice hard with your qualifications, but if you give up, there is really no hope at all." Hearing Yue Bing's words, Chacha nodded with a smile.

Yang Yang, who was used to being despised by Chacha for his IQ, rolled his eyes silently in his heart.

A few people walked into the mountains for a while, and when Yuan Mu announced that he could use spells, Yue Bing suddenly discovered something: "Why is there such a thing here?"

Yang Yang followed her hand and saw a animal trap. The strange thing was that the appearance of this animal trap was different from what he usually saw on TV. It was covered with symbols drawn with red paint, which looked very weird.

Zhou Liang walked over and knelt down, stretched out his hand and touched the trap lightly, then turned his head and said to everyone, "It's cinnabar."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chacha sneered and said: "I said why did you rush up the mountain in the middle of the night, so it was to prepare these for us."

"I don't think it was prepared for us." Yuan Mu shook his head lightly, and analyzed: "Although according to the proprietress, the time for those people to go up the mountain is roughly the same as the time for us to find the acid and eyes, but don't worry. Forgot, we also came here after we arrived in Bingcheng and received a call from Lao Gu. According to this time, they are one day earlier than us, unless they can predict the future, otherwise this thing is not prepared for us.”

"Who else could it be if it wasn't us?" After hearing what he said, Chacha retorted: "The spell on it is obviously prepared for catching monsters."

Hearing what she said, Yang Yang instantly imagined the scene where a group of people used these traps to catch Hu Weixian. After all, Hu Weixian is also a fox.Just when he was about to tell everyone about this idea, Dance in the Rain spoke.

"They won't be so stupid." As he spoke, he stepped forward and kicked the trap, and said, "This kind of crap is not even half a magical weapon, and still wants to deal with us?"

"That's right." Hearing what he said, Chacha also nodded in agreement.

"No matter what it is for, let's clean up these things, right?" Yue Bing looked at the trap on the ground that was kicked over by Yu Zhongwu and said, "Even if it's not for us, it's for the little monsters in the mountains."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and dispersed to clean up several nearby traps.

After clearing the last trap, everyone started on the road again.
