Chapter 614 (1/2)
Lian Ling was speechless for a moment, and could only admire the young man's courage.
What made her uneasy was that although the crane people attached great importance to the lives of these young princes and young ladies and made very appropriate arrangements, they only arranged for a friar of purple mansion to accompany them, which was actually very insufficient.
The crane people live in Taibai forest all the year round, and have few disputes with the outside world. It is unique in a thousand years to send troops for a long journey. As the old man in grey robe, there are not many experienced friars of purple mansion. They can only rely on top secret routes and try to shorten the journey to ensure safety.
If this team can't be transmitted smoothly, it will be a big problem for her.
It took a lot of time for flying alligators to stagger among the mountains. Sometimes it even circled several times in the same mountain, making Lian Ling think that they were actually lost.
There is no clear road in the wilderness. The growth and decline of trees, the change of soil and water, and the spread of miasma make it difficult to find the right road.
The sun had already set below the horizon, and the lush forest had turned into a huge black beast. Instead, the sky is as bright as a blue mirror with golden light. Some thin clouds float in the sky like feathers, stained with the golden light of the sunset.
It's what's called a return to light, and soon they'll be in total darkness.
The flying alligator finally landed in the open space in the dense forest. After it fell down and put everyone down, it even lifted its head and flew up and disappeared in the evening sky. Looking at the flying crocodile leaving, and the dark forest around, everyone seems to have a kind of uneasiness of losing support.
Although this area is deep in the dense forest which can hardly see the sun, the old man in grey robe took them along a solid stone road buried under thick rotten leaves and weeds.
Some of the places that have been washed away by the running water can still see a piece of old stone slabs. There were traces of civilization here, but they were abandoned later. No one has walked these roads for many years.
The old man in grey robe walked in the front. He didn't gallop or fly, but walked briskly in the forest.
The whole abandoned stone road was covered by dense forest, which made the road look like a long tunnel. Only a few mottled glimmers from the cracks on the top of the head give the tunnel a little bit of visibility.
Dozens of people followed closely behind the old man. Although some people find it too slow, it is in the wilderness after all, and no one dares to ask.
On this road up a few miles, the old man suddenly stopped, put his hand a swing, said: ”stop.” The people behind him did not know, so they stopped one after another. But when they looked up at the front, they were again haunted by fear.
About a hundred paces away from the long straight tunnel, a very strong dark figure stood. They were not very tall, but they had an amazing width and stood there like a thick black wall.
a strong smell of wine came with simultaneous interpreting of the oddly sweaty smell. Along with it, there was the arrogance, wanton and aggressive authority of Zifu divine consciousness.
Lian Ling has long been aware of an ambush on this road, but many crane people around her did not see it until this time.
All of them stopped suddenly and were silent. Their hearts were full of panic. No one dares to go forward, and no one dares to run back. After all, running away here is a man in the wilderness, and no one is sure how long he can live.
The shadow, wrapped in a black robe, hid itself in the darkness. But when he saw someone coming, he began to laugh strangely. The laughter echoed in the dark forest like a ghost howl, which made people shiver.
Lin Huan held the hilt tightly in his hand. He had thought that as long as a wild demon appeared, he would kill him with the sword in his hand.
I didn't expect to face the enemy for the first time at this time. The breath and laughter of the other party seemed to make his hair stand up like a sword. He almost lost the courage to challenge.
But he is still brave enough to move forward and block lianling and several other crane girls behind him. At the same time, he said in his mouth:
