Chapter 718 On Toad Mountain
Early the next morning, the team set off again, but there were suddenly three people missing, which made Ling'er and the others a little uncomfortable.

Mu Xi, Mu Xia, and Ou Jingyan walked with them all the way from Yuhang, caring for each other and taking care of them, they have long been regarded as an indispensable member of the team.

Their sudden departure made them feel that something was missing, and the Miao warriors were disappointed by the loss of a few beautiful women who were seductive to the eye.

Walking along the official road, if you encounter a village, you will stay in the village, if you encounter a town, you will stay in an inn, if there is no village or town, you will sleep in the wilderness, and wherever you pass, the name of the flying cat is basically left. Of course, there are also For some poor families, that is enough money to change a life.

After more than ten days of this, a huge mountain lay in front of us. It would take several days to walk along the official road, but it could be climbed in one day at most if we walked from the mountain.

Xiaoyao went to explore the road, and found that the mountain road was not difficult, so Ouyang Fei decided to climb the mountain after discussing it with Elder Shi.

Ling'er got off the sedan, and Ouyang Fei waved his hand to put the sedan away, and then released it for her to ride on after going down the mountain.

A group of people hiked up the mountain, and just reached the halfway up the mountain, they saw the sky suddenly darken, and Xiaoyao became anxious when he saw it, "It seems that we have to hurry up, find a place to stay temporarily, it will be bad if the heavy rain comes .”

Ouyang Fei looked up at the sky in the distance and smiled: "Don't worry, there won't be heavy rain."

"Huh?" Xiaoyao and Ling'er Yueru both looked at him in confusion.

Elder Shi was also looking at the sky like Ouyang Fei at this time, and said solemnly: "This is not a rain cloud, look over there."

Xiaoyao and the others looked in the direction Elder Shi pointed, and couldn't help being startled. They saw that the mountains not far away were lush and green, but the sky was dark, as if there was a black air hovering around.

Xiaoyao asked in surprise: "Why is it so dark there?"

Ouyang Fei laughed and said, "That's the monster aura. The monster aura is so strong that it's almost substantive. There must be a big monster entrenched on this mountain."

"Big demon?" Xiaoyao was startled when he heard the words, and then became excited, "It just so happens that if this monster doesn't come to provoke us, that's fine. If it dares to provoke us, I, the hero, will kill the demon and eliminate it."

Lin Yueru gave him a blank look, and Shi Shiran said: "Okay! If there are monsters by then, I will hand them over to you, Daxia Li."

"Leave it to me and leave it to me. Who am I, Li Daxia, afraid of?" Xiaoyao raised his head and said, "Let's go! I'll open the way."

Ouyang Fei shook his head with a smile and took another step. Elder Shi sighed: "It's great to be young! There is always such a spirit."

Ouyang Fei laughed and said, "Actually, vigor has no age distinction. It depends on mentality. If you are young, even if you are seventy or eighty, you will still be full of vigor."

Elder Shi admired sincerely: "Master Ouyang's words are always so thought-provoking, I admire him."

"Ha ha."

The group of people walked for an hour and finally saw a thatched pavilion in front of them. Someone was already resting inside. The group of people walked into the pavilion. There was a young hunter and a scholar inside, each of them had nothing to say.

When the two of them saw Ouyang Fei and his group entering, they took a quick look. Ouyang Fei smiled at them and nodded. The Orion clasped his fists and said nothing.

Seeing Ouyang Fei's kind attitude, the scholar plucked up the courage and said, "Dare I ask my brother, do you also want to cross this mountain?"

Ouyang Fei nodded and said, "That's right, what advice do you have, brother?"

The scholar said: "I dare not, I heard people say that there is a toad spirit on this mountain, which is as big as a cow, and it only eats passers-by."

When the hunter saw the scholar speaking, he couldn't help but smile and said, "So you can talk. You haven't even farted even after sitting here for a long time. I thought you were mute."

The scholar blushed and said shyly: "No, no, no, Xiaosheng is just a stranger to my brother and I don't dare to disturb each other."

Orion smiled and said nothing, but Xiaoyao took the initiative and said, "What's so scary about toads? I've killed snake demons that are bigger than cows."

The scholar's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "I see that all of you are wearing weapons, you must be martial arts practitioners?"

Xiaoyao spread his hands and said, "Is there any doubt?"

The scholar said: "That's great. I'm willing to pay you two thousand coins to escort me through this mountain road. What do you think, brother?"

"laugh"

Hearing the scholar's words, Lin Yueru sneered, she was very disdainful, let alone Ouyang Fei, the money she brought from home was probably the amount that many people would not be able to earn in a lifetime, so naturally she would not convert it into a mere amount. The money of two taels of silver is in his eyes.

Moreover, this scholar inexplicably reminded her of Liu Jinyuan, so she showed disdain on her face.

Ouyang Fei said dumbfoundedly: "Brother, if you go along the way, it's okay to take you a ride, don't need to talk about money, if you don't go along the way, no matter how much money you have, there is nothing we can do. It depends on whether we are destined or not?"

The scholar nodded repeatedly, and said: "What brother said is very true, but Xiaosheng really has to go to Chang'an, alas... the exam period is approaching, Xiaosheng studied hard for ten years in order to go to Beijing to catch the exam, but because of evil spirits blocking the way, he was not allowed to go to Chang'an." On the way, if we take a detour, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up, it's really a dilemma!"

After hearing the scholar's words, Ling'er smiled and said, "That's such a coincidence, we are going in that direction too, so you can go with us!"

The scholar was overjoyed, cupped his hands again and again and said, "Thank you, Miss, thank you all."

After eating dry food and resting for half an hour, everyone set off again, and the scholar hurriedly followed.

The further we went, the more rugged and winding the mountain road became, and the darker the sky became. Although it was still daytime, it was gloomy, and there was no sound in the mountains and plains except for the croaking of toads.

Just when everyone came to an empty mountain path, Ouyang Fei suddenly changed his expression and turned his head to look at the sky on the right. After two breaths, Elder Shi also heard something, and with one gesture of his hand, he ordered the warriors to stop.

Only then did Xiaoyao hear a sharp whistle piercing the air coming from the sky on the right.

Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see a small black spot appearing in the gloomy sky in the distance, the black spot quickly approached, and in a blink of an eye it was already in human form, falling in front of them at an even faster speed.

Elder Shi glanced at Ouyang Fei in surprise. He didn't expect that he would hear it so much earlier than him. Doesn't it mean that his cultivation level is much higher than his own?
Seeing someone flying in mid-air, the scholar was so frightened that his legs and feet went limp, and he couldn't stand up, and sat down on the ground.

The person who came was wearing a long robe, his beard and hair were all white, and he exuded a bit of Taoist immortality. However, his majestic and dignified face was not as elegant as his beard and hair, but rather solemn.

Xiaoyao saw that the person who flew close was stepping on a sword that was wider than ordinary long swords. The ability to fly with a sword made Xiaoyao envious, but unfortunately he was not strong enough to do this for the time being. .
