"Ah ~~~ choo yo!"
Li Xiaokun suddenly sneezed and turned his head to glance at him before continuing to walk forward.
Surrounded by a boundless green ocean and towering trees, the four of them were somewhat aimless. They had no idea where the exit was, and where they were now.
"Hey, Brother Meng, are you on the right path?”Li Xiaokun picked a branch and waved it back and forth.
"How would I know? I seriously suspect that this map was drawn by ducks!”Mundo replied unhappily.
"Alright, alright. Look, isn't that the road?”Cheryl pointed ahead.
There was indeed a small path in the eleven o'clock direction. It was hidden in the lush weeds and was difficult to detect.
Mundo stretched his neck and quickly ran over.
The path was two meters wide and was paved with scattered stones, allowing pedestrians to pass through.
"Hey! Hurry up and come over!"
The other three looked at each other and smiled. They quickly walked into the small path. However, just as they took a step, a cold wind blew in their faces, and everyone couldn't help but shiver.
"Where…where is this place?"
Li Xiaokun raised his head timidly. The curved path was paved with irregular stones. At first glance, it looked like a path up the mountain, covered by dense trees. It was unknown which immortal's residence it led to.
"Strange? The Mountain Range of Magical Beasts…why would there be a pedestrian walkway?”Qing Mei frowned.
"Who cares! Since we're already here, let's look ahead!" Mondo brushed away the messy branches in front of him, cleared the nettles under his feet, and moved forward cautiously.
Not long after following the path, they entered a green world.
After walking for about an hour, Cheryl suddenly became happy. As if she had forgotten all her previous fears, she walked lightly in front and turned around curiously."Look, this place is actually very beautiful!”
"Yeah!"
Mundo wiped the sweat off his forehead and nodded. Then, he sighed in a pessimistic manner."Sigh…Although this place is beautiful, it's a pity that I don't know where to go.”
"Hmph…I gave you a map, but you're useless!”
"Ridiculous! How would I know what kind of place the canyon is? The map is so messy. Here, take it. Lead the way!”
"I'll take care of it!"
Hearing the noise in her ears, Qing Mei was a little annoyed. In fact, ever since she left the swamp, she had started to mark the road and carefully observe the surrounding environment. Every tree, every boulder, and even the chirping of birds in the sky would make her stop.
She didn't know why, but she faintly felt that something was very wrong here. Logically speaking, the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts was the territory of the Magical Beasts, but up until now, other than the Burning Goat and the Rock Yin Bat, she hadn't seen any other Magical Beasts. Moreover, this natural pure forest was the habitat they dreamed of. What was going on?
A thick cloud of suspicion hung over her head, and she had to be careful.
Suddenly,
The path under their feet became gentle, as if they were about to reach the end.
The trees around them started to grow sparse. The four of them quickened their pace. After a few steps, their field of vision suddenly opened up. Half of the valley was already under their feet.
Before he could catch his breath, he saw rows of platforms appear beside him. They were arranged along the slope from high to low. On each row of platforms, there were hundreds of thousands of-
A gravestone!
A graveyard in the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts?
The grave of a living person mentioned by Mundo?
Li Xiaokun stopped in his tracks. A cool mountain breeze swept past the cemetery, and the surrounding trees let out a strange whistling sound.
He squatted down and looked at it carefully, only to find that every tombstone had a strange face drawn on it.
Some had horns, some had two heads, and some didn't look like humans at all. They looked like mutated animals with ferocious faces and fangs.
However, they had one thing in common. Their eyes were fixed on the four uninvited guests from the beginning to the end, as if they were angry at them for disturbing the peace of the dead!
It was spectacular and sad, like the terraced fields in the south, but what was planted were not crops, but strange corpses. It was full of vicissitudes.
The four of them were deeply shocked. They stared blankly at the cemetery for a long time before they came back to their senses.
However, new questions came one after another. Why would a cemetery appear in the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts?
And there were so many of them?
Who were they?
Did they all die here?
What was this place?
At the same time, a terrifying thought appeared in his mind. There was a tribe or a kingdom here. These tombstones were man-made, but where were they?
Where was the fallen kingdom?
Desolation attacked everyone's heart.
Qing Mei swept her gaze across the desolate graveyard and exhaled lightly."Let's go…there are too many questions here. We have to explore the path as soon as possible.”
The three people's hearts skipped a beat when they heard this. They quickly left the lonely tomb halfway up the mountain and returned to the mountain path, continuing to walk up.
Li Xiaokun suddenly understood the intention of digging this dangerous path. Perhaps it was the exclusive path for future generations to pay tribute to those buried corpses.
Where did this damned old man send us?
After walking for about half an hour, the mountain path became steep, and the stone path under their feet gradually disappeared. It was replaced by weeds, and the narrow path could only allow one person to pass.
The soil after the rain was a little wet and slippery. Li Xiaokun reminded everyone to be careful from time to time. The dense branches were blocking the road. Mundo, who was leading the way, had to break the branches to advance.
Some strange bird cries suddenly sounded from the deep mountains, like the screams of a young girl, making the two girls 'hearts jump.
Cheryl stopped in her tracks and panted lightly. After walking for the entire morning, her physical strength had clearly declined.
"Let me carry you." Li Xiaokun looked at her.
"No, no, no. I'll be fine after resting for a while. It's just that…"
After saying that, he looked at the sky and stammered,"Will we…get lost?”
"I won't. I've marked them along the way. Don't worry.”Qing Mei patted her sister's shoulder and smiled.
Just as the corners of her lips curled up, the endless leaves in the quiet forest began to sway slightly, accompanied by a rustling sound...
What was that?
Li Xiaokun's eyes widened. In an instant, the air seemed to freeze. His heart beat, his heart beat, his heart beat!
His four hearts beat faster almost at the same time. Adrenaline was secreted rapidly and quickly spread to every blood vessel in his body.
Although they could not see anything except for the blinding green, the feeling was real. The cemetery was hundreds of meters away from their feet, and they had just disturbed the rest of the dead.
A gust of wind suddenly came from the sky. Li Xiaokun felt his scalp go numb and raised his head in a tenth of a second.
That…
Finally!
A group of Rock Yin Bats streaked across the sky like a black blade in the sky, covering the sky and the sun. They descended from the sky and pierced into the valley, deeply shocking the four weak souls.
