C128 Kunlun (1/2)

The Kunlun Mountains was located in the northwestern part of China. Since ancient times, it had been one of the great dragon veins.

Of course, how many secrets were hidden deep within the mountain range? From the ancient times until now, no one had been able to figure out even one in ten thousand.

This was the northwest side of China, which was the northwest border of the plains. From here on west, was the mysterious Kunlun Mountains.

Ordinary people would not step foot into this place, and would only appear in this area as professional explorers or reckless donkey friends. The latter had directly caused the death rate in the depths of Kunlun Mountains to exceed that of climbing Everest in the past decade.

This was a small, backward town, located at the foot of a mountain. Because of the three sides of the mountain, the cold air was not able to reach this place, so the climate could be considered pleasant, but when one looked up, they could see that the mountainside around them was covered with thick layers of snow. In the evening, the golden rays of the setting sun shone on the snowy peaks, causing the ice-cold snow-capped mountain to be wrapped in a layer of warmth.

This town had more outsiders than the locals, because this was the last supply stop for many outdoor explorers to enter Kunlun Mountains. From here they could head northwest and enter the mountain range.

As for how many people were able to reach the depths of Kunlun Mountains, which was a place filled with mysterious and myths and legends, it was unknown.

In a house called ”Yan Ran Inn”, Lin Gudu and a few others were eating around a table. There were no brazier or other heating equipment in the house, but people would not feel cold.

Out of the five of them, three were men and two were women. However, this only caused the surrounding people to glare at them.

The three men were very weird.

A young man wearing a golden mask exuded a cold aura.

An old man with nearly a hundred strands of hair who had the demeanor of a saint. When he smiled, it was like the spring breeze, but when he didn't laugh, no one dared to approach him.

As for the monk, he was actually carrying a big wine jar. He was clearly a monk but his words and actions had nothing to do with the monk.

As for the remaining two women, one was a blonde woman, and the other was a woman with red lips who wore a black windbreaker and eye-catching black leather pants. Both women were exceptional beauties, so naturally, they would attract the attention of many men.

Many of them wanted to go up and start a conversation, but after seeing this strange combination, they had no choice but to give up. Their instincts told them that if they were to really go up, it was very likely that they would not be able to make it back.

Lin Gudu's eyes, however, stayed on a wooden flagpole that was as thick as a wrist outside the Yan Ran Inn for a long time.

Following Lin Gudu's gaze, he focused on the upper part of the flagpole, where there was actually a thumb sized dart. That dart was pitch-black in shape, and looked like a swallow.

However, Lin Gudu's eyes were filled with determination.

Soon, the group had eaten their fill. Each of them carried a backpack and left the town.

Those who saw them leave were confused. As long as they had common sense, they would know that in the middle of the night, wild beasts roamed everywhere. There were even many tigers, serpents, and pythons.

However, under everyone's watchful eyes, Lin Gudu and the others disappeared from the west side of the town on the mountain path.

Ten days later, according to the GPS location, Lin Gudu and the rest were already close to the depths of Kunlun Mountains.

Ordinary people wouldn't be able to reach this place, this was definitely an ancient region.

Here, encountering a giant python that could swallow an ox in one gulp was definitely not a strange occurrence. As for many strange animals that were claimed by the scientists to have been extinct on Earth, they had all appeared again in front of Lin Gudu.

Other than Lin Gudu, Jones was the special ability user for mental control, Nangong Yanran was the Golden special ability user for detonation, Huang Laoxie was a poison expert, and Monk Peng was a late stage first stage Acquired State Stage expert. All of them were experts, so dealing with these beasts obstructing the way was naturally not a problem.

At noon, everyone ate some beef jerky on a huge rock of about fifty square meters. After replenishing their energy, they prepared to rest for two hours before continuing on their way.

Along the way, Lin Gudu had always relied on the swallow boomerang to determine his own route.

That swallow boomerang was the symbol that Fang Tian had left behind.

In other words, the road they were walking on was exactly the one Fang Tian had opened up before.

No one knew how long they would have to walk before they could reach their destination and find Fang Tian.

Just then, Huang Laoxie walked over and whispered to Lin Gudu, ”Based on our speed, if we still can't find our destination by noon tomorrow, I suggest not to go any deeper.”

”Senior, what do you mean?” Lin Gudu raised his head, puzzled.

According to the map, they were still a long way from Mount Kunlun. Furthermore, he had already guessed before that his master Fang Tian should be right in the center.

Huang Laoxie explained solemnly: ”You are currently crippled, so your senses are not that sensitive to power, and those two girls are from special ability user, so you can't sense anything, but the monk and I felt that something was wrong a few days ago, that there was something very powerful in front of us, whether it was a human or something else, it is still hard to say, but I can tell you this for sure, once we enter that place, there will definitely be a chance of death. Perhaps an Innate Ranker will have a chance of survival.”

”That's right.”

The moment Huang Laoxie's voice fell, Monk Peng walked over with his wine jar in his arms. After drinking a mouthful of it, he sat cross-legged on the right side of Lin Gudu, stared at the mountain peaks that were flickering in and out, and said: ”Lonely, this isn't something that we two old fellows can scare you off, it's indeed filled with dangers up ahead. Twenty years ago, your master and sword fanaticism joined forces to enter the Kunlun Mountains, but in the end they were unable to reach the true depth.
