After Barak City repaired overnight, Shrek and his party set off again.
The carriage's axles creaked as it drove eastward. In a few days, everyone passed through the Silves Kingdom plains. As the terrain gradually rose, the moisture in the air that originally belonged to the south of the Yangtze River was gradually replaced by a dry and chilling wind.
When the outline of a towering pass appeared at the end of the horizon, Flender stopped the carriage, with a rare look of solemnity on his face.
"The one ahead is Jialing Pass."
Gu Tian opened the curtain and looked into the distance. Among the lofty mountains, he saw a pass built entirely of bluish-gray boulders like a silent giant lying on the natural barrier. The towering city walls were covered with traces of slashes and chisels, which were medals left by years and wars. Even though it was not a troubled time at the moment, due to the special geographical location of this place, the sense of depression and desolation that hit them still made these young students feel heart palpitations.
"This is Jialing Pass..." Tang San stood behind Gu Tian and murmured in a low voice. For some reason, looking at this desolate ancient battlefield, he always felt a faint restlessness in his blood, as if this place would bear some tragic cause and effect in the future.
"Sunset Forest is not far from here. By bypassing the mountains behind the pass, you can enter the outer area in about a hundred miles." Flender pointed to the north, "Tonight we will settle at Jialing Pass, rest for a night, and recharge our batteries. We will officially enter the forest early tomorrow morning!"
At night, the cold moon hangs over the city, casting a pale light.
Gu Tian is comfortably enjoying the massage and service of the girls in the presidential suite. But in an ordinary triple room at the other end of the same floor, the lights are dim and the atmosphere is extremely tense.
Tang San was sitting by the window, using the faint candlelight, quickly wiping Sleeve Arrow in his sleeves. His eyes flashed with a kind of morbid fanaticism, which was the paranoia caused by the extreme desire for power.
"Boss Dai, Fatty, Xiao Ao." Tang San put down Hidden Weapon, his voice was very low, revealing an unquestionable determination, "When we enter the mountain tomorrow, the situation will definitely be complicated. I have checked in ancient books before, in places like Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, there are many Immortal Herb, but there are only a few of high quality."
Dai Mubai sat on the edge of the bed, clenching his fists, his eyes full of unwillingness. "Xiaosan, what do you mean..."
"You have also seen Gu Tian's strength." Tang San laughed coldly, "The blue-haired woman next to him is too strong. If they are allowed to find the place first, all the opportunities will probably fall into his pocket. By then, we will never be able to stand up in this life!"
"So." Tang San looked around the three of them with a gloomy tone, "Let's set off before dawn tomorrow morning! While Gu Tian is still in Wenrou Township and hasn't gotten up, let's rush directly into the center circle with my sense and speed. Then Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's Immortal Herb didn't write Gu Tian's name, so whoever picks it first belongs to whoever. As long as we grab the top Immortal Herb and drink it immediately, the deal will be done by then. No matter how strong that woman is, how dare she massacre her fellow disciples in public?"
"Strike first to gain advantage, strike later to suffer disaster." Ma Hongjun swallowed and nodded fiercely, "Third brother, I listen to you! I've had enough of that Gu's expression!"
"I agree." Dai Mubai took a deep breath, with a ruthless look in his eyes, "Zhuqing That bitch is still by his side. I must become stronger and do whatever it takes to become stronger. When the time comes, let him serve me like a dog!"
Tang San looked at his companions who had reached an agreement, and the corner of his mouth curved as if he had a chance to win.
Little did he know that at this moment Gu Tian was looking down at everything with great interest as if he were watching a comic show.
"Jiehu? Immortal Herb didn't write his name?"
Gu Tian leaned on the white sofa, took a sip of the juice handed over by Ao Linxi, and laughed silently.
Tang San, Tang San, since you so want to get up early and work as a porter to open up wasteland, then I will make it happen for you. When you work so hard to break through Dugu Bo's poison array, but find that there is nothing there, your expression will be very exciting.
It was late at night and everything was silent.
While the four Tang San were still dreaming about their plan to cut off their beards tomorrow morning, Gu Tian had already sat up from the comfortable big bed. He glanced at Gu Yue and Na'er who were sleeping beside him, covered them with quilts, and kissed them on the forehead.
"Sister Chiyan, sister Tide, it's time to work."
Gu Tian whispered in his mind. The next second, two rays of fiery red and ice blue light flashed across the room, and the magnificent figures of Chiyan and Tide appeared in front of Gu Tian.
"Xiao Tian, you mean... let's go and ransack that old poisoner's house right now?" Chiyan's fiery red eyes were flashing with excitement. She had long wanted to see the place that contained her origins.
Tide also nodded slightly, with a hint of urgency in his cold tone. "I have already felt that the source is calling me."
Gu Tian smiled slightly, Dragon God Ring's light flowed from his right hand, and Nine-Colored Divine Light instantly enveloped the three of them. Pulled by the space coordinates taught before by Na'er, the three of them disappeared into the Jialing Pass night like meteors chasing the moon.
Sunset Forest core area.
The rich poisonous miasma persists all year round due to Dugu Bo's arrangement, but in front of Chiyan and Tide, these toxins are like encountering natural enemies. Chiyan's whole body exudes a faint Hong Lian fire, and the poisonous mist is burned directly wherever it passes, while Tide is responsible for controlling the temperature difference, allowing those highly toxic and corrosive substances to instantly solidify.
Not long after, the three of them arrived at the top of a deep valley.
"Arrived."
Looking down, I saw an extremely spectacular spring in the center of the valley. The spring area is not large, but it is divided into two parts. In the oval spring pool, red and white are distinct. The red side is rolling with hot lava, which is scorching hot, while the white side is filled with milky white cold air, which is bone-chilling.
Two completely opposite forces have reached a strange balance here, surrounded by fairy herbs with different shapes and fragrant aromas.
Chiyan and Tide looked at the spring water, with a rare sadness in their expressions. They walked forward slowly, and at the same time stretched out their jade hands towards the intersection of ice and fire.
Buzz--!
The two Dragon King origins that had been sleeping for thousands of years suddenly woke up at this moment, and the spring water set off huge waves tens of meters high, as if to welcome the return of their master.
"This feeling... I really miss it." Tide closed his eyes, absorbing the friendly original power.
Gu Tian looked at Immortal Herb in the valley and already had a plan in mind.
"Since this place belongs to you, let's just make it bigger." Gu Tian turned his head and said to the void, "Sister Lin Xi, do me a favor, let's move this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well... the whole thing away!"
Inside Sea of Consciousness, Ao Linxi slowly opened his eyes and chuckled, "What a spirit. It would be a good choice to open a medicine garden next to the villa."
Under the guidance of Ao Linxi, Gu Tian's Sea of Consciousness began to expand crazily. Chiyan and Tide looked at each other, and they exerted force at the same time. Two phantoms of the dragon, one red and one blue, rose into the sky, and then turned into two huge chains, locking the foundation of the entire valley.
"Get up!"
Rumble--!
The entire Sunset Forest trembled violently at this moment. In the face of the god-level power, the thousand-meter-deep ice and fire spring, together with all the surrounding Immortal Herb, soil, and even the remains of the keel below, were forcibly uprooted by an invisible force, and then turned into a dazzling nine-color stream of light, all of which disappeared into the center of Gu Tian's eyebrows.
In just a few minutes, the originally magnificent and dazzling Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was reduced to a bottomless pit with black smoke.
Gu Tian fell to the bottom of the pit, looked at the desolate scene around him, and smiled evilly, "Sister Chiyan, sister Tide, please do something and leave some greeting gifts for the Tang San people who will come over tomorrow morning."
Chiyan understood and waved his hand, and countless hot lava soil filled the big pit, while Tide sprinkled large amounts of frost, making the place look like a wasteland that had just experienced violent geological changes.
Gu Tian randomly plucked some unknown wildflowers and weeds from the roadside, planted a few randomly on the flat soil, and used Soul Power to stimulate them to make them look like they were emitting a faint light.
"These foxtail grasses, in the eyes of those geniuses, might be the ninth-grade dragon's tail grass." Gu Tian looked at his masterpiece, patted the dirt on his hands, and laughed.
"Let's go back to Jialing Pass to catch up on some sleep. I can't wait to see Tang San's expression when he digs three feet into the ground tomorrow morning."
