The Grey Wolf turned around and charged into the forest. There were still arrows whistling behind him. Hongjun used the Rainbow Divine Light to continuously block them. The Grey Wolf rushed to the front of the cliff. The entire cliff was smooth and slippery, and there was nowhere for him to use as a foothold. He used all his strength to leap up, his two claws grabbing onto a tree branch. His two legs pushed back with all his might, and he leaped up again.
"I'll do it!" Hongjun shouted as he hugged the Grey Wolf's neck.
"You protect my back!" the Grey Wolf roared. He ignored Hongjun and brought him up the mountainside. Hongjun originally wanted to use the Demon Binding Rope to hold it in place, and then let Mo Rigen transform into his human form to bring him up. However, he was too unfamiliar with this place, and there were walls of ice on all sides. He could only grab the Grey Wolf with one hand and use the Rainbow Divine Light with the other to block the arrows behind him.
At this time, the Shiwei assassins had already caught up. They scattered and surrounded the lone peak, and the female Shaman underground began to chant an incantation.
"What did she just say?" Hongjun asked.
"Catch this monster," the Grey Wolf said in a muffled voice.
"She's the monster!" Hongjun said angrily.
Grey Wolf said, "Hold on tight! Don't fall down! "
High up, the steel arrows could no longer reach them. The Shiwei assassins also seemed to have given up on the chase. However, Hongjun still felt that something was wrong. The sky had already darkened. There was a rustling sound in the forest, as if there were countless dangers breaking through the earth.
"What are you doing?" Lu Xu appeared again. At this critical moment, Hongjun could no longer hide. He said, "We've been attacked!"
"We're here! Who are you talking to? "Grey Wolf roared.
Hongjun: "… …"
Grey Wolf and Hongjun arrived at the mountainside. Lu Xu immediately said, "Quickly help him pull out the arrow."
Hongjun came back to his senses and went forward to pull out the steel arrow from Grey Wolf's shoulder. The man and wolf looked at each other for a moment. Mo Rigen was panting, his eyes filled with uncontrollable pain and anger. He never thought that his brother would actually shoot him with an arrow!
Hongjun threw the arrow to the ground. Lu Xu said, "That's really ruthless."
Hongjun quickly went through what had happened in his mind.... Grey Wolf was only panting, for a moment, as if his anger had not yet calmed down..... Grey Wolf was only panting, as if he had not yet calmed down...
Lu Xu knelt down, hugged the wolf's head, and pressed the side of his face against it. He did not have a physical body. He was just an illusion in Hongjun's mind. Even the wind did not stir up the slightest bit.
Hongjun wanted to comfort him, but he did not know what to say. He had an idea and changed the topic. He looked down and said, "What's down there?"
"Don't worry about it." Mo Rigen said in a low voice. "Continue climbing. Go to the cave."
Hongjun first bandaged Mo Rigen's wound. Lu Xu said, "Why is his family like this? What kind of monster is that female shaman? "
Hongjun asked in his heart, "Can you leave me and go take a look?"
Lu Xu replied, "I can't go too far. Let's find the magic weapon first. We'll talk about it later."
The two drank some water. Mo Rigen led the way. They followed the path of the lonely peak, running one after the other towards the cave.
"Can you find the ley line?" Hongjun asked, panting.
"I can't find it!" Mo Rigen said, "We'll talk about it when we get there!"
In an instant, something suddenly shot out from the high cliff. Lu Xu suddenly shouted, "Be careful!"
Mo Rigen turned his head. At the same time, he drew a dagger from his waist and swung it. When Lu Xu shouted, Hongjun threw a flying dagger. The pitch-black thing flew towards Mo Rigen and was cut in half. It was a black patterned snake!
Mo Rigen used his dagger to cut it in half. The upper half of the black snake bit his arm. Hongjun threw a flying dagger and the snake's head was smashed into pieces.
"Snake!" Hongjun cried out in alarm.
Mo Rigen gasped for breath. He looked down at the wound on his arm. It was bleeding from the snake's bite.
Lu Xu said, "Oh no! Let the blood out! "
Hongjun was proficient in medicine and knew how to deal with snake venom. He quickly tore off a strip of cloth and tied it around Mo Rigen's arm. He used the flying dagger to draw a cross and let the blood out to treat the poison. There were more and more rustling sounds. In the darkness, the female shaman's voice also became louder. Countless hibernating snakes were awakened and rushed towards the mountain.
"There's more behind us!" Lu Xu said.
"Detoxify first!" Hongjun said.
"Let's go!" Mo Rigen did not see Lu Xu, but he heard the sound. He did not let Hongjun detoxify the poison anymore. He dragged him towards the end of the path. Hongjun said, "Wait!"
As they ran, the blood flowed rapidly. The snake venom gradually spread throughout his body. Mo Rigen was already exhausted, but he did not stop. The two of them arrived in front of a block of ice. Hongjun released the flying dagger and cut the ice into pieces. Mo Rigen then pulled Hongjun into the cave. Following which, countless black colored snakes surged forward. Mo Rigen nocked his arrows and shot out seven Nailing Head Arrows like meteors, instantly nailing the incoming snakes to the ground.
"He's dying!" Lu Xu said anxiously.
"Don't worry!" Hongjun was in a panic. Beside him, there was a spirit who was even more panicked than him. Hongjun quickly calmed down for once. Mo Rigen said, "It's no use … cough!"
Hongjun forced Mo Rigen's mouth open and poured an entire packet of powder into it. Mo Rigen could not stop coughing. Hongjun poured half a packet of water into him.
"Is this medicine effective?" Lu Xu asked.
"It's effective!" Hongjun said. "It's from Qing Xiong's body … In any case, it can repel all snake venom."
Lu Xu: "…"
"The snake is a black rock and white qiao …" Mo Rigen panted. "It's poisonous, but not very poisonous. I have an antidote at home."
"You're completely exhausted after being bitten. How is the poison not very poisonous?!" Lu Xu said angrily. "Are you out of your mind?!"
Hongjun said inwardly, Don't scold him. He can't hear you. Then, he opened Mo Rigen's eyelids. There was no blood in his eyes. He said, "It's under control for now. We have to go back and find an antidote immediately."
"It's fine," Mo Rigen said tiredly. "I'm resistant to poison. We've already come this far."
"What should we do?" Hongjun said.
Lu Xu asked, "What's this medicine made of?"
Hongjun said, "Golden-winged Roc's … bile."
Mo Rigen was confused. "What? Hongjun, who are you talking to? "
Hongjun thought to himself, I'd better not talk. Otherwise, I'll look like an idiot talking to himself. Lu Xu said, "Where did the bile come from?"
Hongjun thought to himself, Do you have to ask so clearly?
Lu Xu said, "Of course! Otherwise, how would I know what you're going to do next? "
Hongjun thought to himself, I vomited it when I was drunk, okay?
Lu Xu: "You drank until you vomited bile …"
Hongjun's face turned serious. He thought to himself, Yes!
Lu Xu: "Why isn't your medicine your father's? It's your second father's …"
Hongjun: "…"
Lu Xu: "Fine, at least it's better than eating shit …"
Hongjun: Who told you that?!
Mo Rigen: "Hongjun?"
Lu Xu: "There are more snakes outside."
More snakes gathered outside, as if they were waiting to attack at any time. Hongjun blocked them with his Rainbow Divine Light, but it couldn't go on like this. Lu Xu had an idea. "Look up!"
Hongjun looked up. Without waiting for Lu Xu's reminder, he gathered his flying daggers into a modao and slashed at the top of the cave. Broken ice fell and blocked the entrance of the cave.
"After being cured by the Ghost King," Mo Rigen forced himself to be alert and said, "there's corpse poison in my body, so I can resist other poisons."
Lu Xu said, "We have to find the magic weapon quickly and go back as soon as possible. Listen to him. Are you sure it's here? "
Hongjun turned around and looked into the depths of the cave. "Are you sure it's here?" At the same time, he thought to himself, Lu Xu, why don't I say whatever you say? I'll only repeat what you say. Otherwise, Brother Gen will think I'm crazy.
Lu Xu said, "Okay, you can be the mouthpiece for the time being."
Mo Rigen walked forward unsteadily. The cave was pitch-black, and he couldn't see his own fingers. Looking at the pitch-black passage, it seemed like it led to the belly of the mountain.
"Lend me your shoulder." Mo Rigen's steps were unsteady. Hongjun hurriedly supported him. His hand ignited a flame in the air, and the two slowly walked down together.
"This … is where I was born." Mo Rigen said.
"This …" Lu Xu said, "Your mother climbed to such a high place to give birth to you?"
Hongjun was also full of doubts. He repeated Lu Xu's words.
Mo Rigen said tiredly, "It doesn't make sense, right? In the year I was born, the Khitans plundered everywhere. My grandfather … sent my mother up the mountain to hide in this cave. Every month, he would bring her food. "
Mo Rigen was born on a full moon night. A pack of wolves climbed up the mountain. His mother suffered a lot and almost had a difficult labor. She only gave birth to him at dawn. After they landed, the pack of wolves left.
By the time his mother carried him back to the village, his grandfather had passed away. Mother and son depended on each other for survival, living in the once quiet and beautiful village.
Later, Mo Rigen showed an unusual talent for hunting. From the age of six, he often wandered alone, with a pack of wolves around him. At the age of eight, he returned to the cave where he was born for the first time. Since then, every summer, he would come to visit from time to time.
"Staying here makes me feel at ease." Mo Rigen was a little sleepy.
Lu Xu said, "He's about to fall asleep. Give him a slap to wake him up."
Hongjun patted him and said, "Wake up, Brother Rigen."
"Let's go forward." Mo Rigen said energetically, "I used to think that if one day it was time to die, maybe this would be my grave …"
Lu Xu said expressionlessly, "Then let him die of old age here alone."
"Don't say that." Hongjun said, "You won't die."
Lu Xu said, "Didn't you say that you'll do whatever I say?"
Hongjun thought to himself, How can I say that?! He's already poisoned. Treat him better.
Lu Xu said, "You don't understand. At this time, you have to make him angry so that he can stay awake. Otherwise, he'll fall asleep soon."
Hongjun said, "We have to settle this as soon as possible and go back."
"Got it." Mo Rigen didn't know that Hongjun was talking to Lu Xu.
Mo Rigen's body was resistant to poison. In addition, Hongjun had fed him a poison control drug. Although he was dizzy and sweating all over, he should be able to hold on until they returned to the stone castle. The only problem was how to sneak in to get the antidote.
"How long is this path?" Hongjun began to worry.
Mo Rigen ignored him and only said in a low voice, "Later … I tried to go down and see what was in the deepest part of the cave … I saw it … Put out the fire, Hongjun."
The two of them walked to the end of the cave. Hongjun put away the fire. After his eyes adjusted to the light for a while, Hongjun vaguely saw an extremely dim blue light. The blue light appeared in the cracks of the cave wall. A few strands of blue energy twisted and flowed in the cracks, like blood vessels exposed from the ground.
Hongjun said, "Leyline!"
Lu Xu said, "Be careful. I keep feeling that there's something locked up inside."
Mo Rigen gasped and said in a low voice, "At that time, I didn't know what it was …"
Hongjun let Mo Rigen rest against the cave wall and moved the rocks away. There seemed to be wind inside. Mo Rigen said from the side, "… Now that I think about it, there's probably … an entrance to the leyline below …"
"Back up a bit." Hong Jun gathered his Mo Sword, and with a flash of light, he slashed towards the deepest part of the cave wall. A loud sound was heard, and a bright light burst out. The blue light was so bright that the two of them could barely open their eyes. Immediately after, the ground collapsed. Mo Rigen said, "Be careful!"
Hongjun threw out the Demon Binding Rope with his left hand and grabbed Mo Rigen's waist with his right hand. The two of them fell straight down. They landed on a piece of ice. Hongjun shouted. The two of them slid rapidly on the ice until they crashed into an icicle.
Just like the bottom of the Dragon-Subduing Pagoda, the ground was flowing with light. It was actually a huge formation. And in the center of the formation, a golden longbow was frozen in ice!
Lu Xu said, "Hongjun! Check on Da Lang! "
"Brother Rigen!" Hongjun saw that Mo Rigen's face was pale and hurriedly helped him to the side. Mo Rigen waved his hand, indicating that he should rest for a while.
Lu Xu said, "I'll stay with him. You go and take a look. Take the item and leave."
Hongjun walked forward and released a fierce fire that surrounded the icicle. The icicle instantly turned into water vapor and dissipated.
The longbow shone brightly. Countless blue lights connected under the base like thousands of threads. There were also many runes carved on the base.
"I found it!" Hongjun turned around and said to Mo Rigen and Lu Xu in the corner, "This should be the Moon Eclipse Bow. Should I take it out now?"
Mo Rigen opened his eyes. His eyes had not yet adjusted to the strong light. He nodded.
Lu Xu said, "Wait. Investigate the surroundings first. Don't let anything happen."
Hongjun thought back to the abyss of the Dragon-Sealing Pagoda. The Demon Binding Rope seemed to be able to suppress the flood dragons. He was afraid that the bow here was also suppressing some ancient demon beast. If he took it out, would it cause even more trouble?
"Hongjun?" Mo Rigen gasped. "Why don't you try?"
Hongjun did not dare to make a move. He only looked under the base of the pedestal and then inspected the surroundings. Suddenly, he discovered that behind Mo Rigen was a block of Xuan Ice. There was something frozen inside.
"Wait." Hongjun temporarily gave up on inspecting the pedestal. He frowned and said, "What is this?"
Mo Rigen struggled to stand. The snake venom made him dizzy and unable to think. Hongjun circled behind him and discovered that the thing frozen in another block of Xuan Ice had already broken free. There was a hole in the ice. From the size of the hole, the thing frozen inside seemed to be a wild beast.
Lu Xu muttered, "There's a demon trapped inside. It's already escaped."
"It's already escaped." Hongjun suddenly realized that something serious might have happened. When he looked under the ice again, he saw a bone-chilling stream of water. He raised his head to look at the top of the cave. There was a trace of ice on the top. It must have been a drop of water that had penetrated the ice. During the summer, for some reason, water had accumulated on the top of the cave. Over the years, drops of water had fallen, melting the Xuan Ice and thinning it. This had caused the demon inside to break free and leave a hole near the earth vein array.
