Chapter 344 [Crossing the Mountains and Over the Ridges]
Li Mubai only slept for more than an hour and was woken up by a knock on the door. When he opened the door, he found that it was Zhu Feng'er.
Zhu Feng'er was still wearing a red dress, her face returned from pale to rosy, and she was holding breakfast in her hand and looked at Li Mubai with a smile, and walked in.
"Depending on your mood, all the toxins must have been eliminated."
Li Mubai closed the door and asked.
"Yes, I have fully recovered. In fact, no matter how serious the injury is, our Suzaku clan can recover as long as he uses Nirvana. After eating, we will take the earliest bus."
Zhu Feng'er sat at the table, tore open the disposable chopsticks, picked up a steamed dumpling and put it in her mouth, which looked very comfortable.
"I can't tell that your Zhuque family is quite strong."
Li Mubai walked to the side with a smile, and while having breakfast, he listened to Zhu Feng'er talk about some unique skills and some unknown things in the four major families.
The county town close to the mountains and not far from the White Tiger Family is called Baihu County. The name of this county town is also related to tigers. According to legend, a monster appeared here hundreds of years ago. At that time, the people in the county town were enslaved by this monster. Finally, a white-headed tiger with a lingering eye of more than ten feet appeared in the county town, biting the monster, and finally defeated the monster. Therefore, since hundreds of years, this small county town has been called Baihu County, which is used to commemorate the white-headed tiger that fought for the people.
It is a two-hour drive from Lixin City to Baihu County. Because Baihu County is remote and has underdeveloped transportation, it is more like a town than a small county town.
Li Mubai sat by the bed, and Zhu Feng'er began to talk to him again. At this moment, he had already driven halfway. The road was already bumpy. Moreover, it was just a minibus, which was already crowded with people. Judging from their outfits, most of them should have come from the countryside. There were even some chicken cages in the car, and the hens inside made "cucking" sounds.
The scene outside the car is quite good. It is lush mountains with fruit trees planted on it, but the houses gradually become less and less.
When we arrived in Baihu County, it was already past nine o'clock in the morning. There were not many people in the county town, and the ground was bumpy. Most of them were riding motorcycles, so it was difficult to see the bus.
"How do we go?"
Li Mubai, who was standing at the intersection, spoke in a deep voice.
"Of course I'm walking over. If I want to take a bus, I might not arrive in a few days."
Zhu Feng'er touched her chin and smiled mysteriously.
“Is it faster to walk than to take a bus?”
Li Mubai was a little confused.
"We took a car around and around, but we took shortcuts and didn't take ordinary roads. If we didn't make any mistakes, we would be able to reach the White Tiger Family at around 12 o'clock tonight. Haven't we seen my dry food ready?"
Zhu Feng'er patted a package behind her and spoke.
Li Mubai naturally had no objection. Since a girl said this, he was also worried about Lu Fei's safety, but he didn't expect that this shortcut was so difficult to walk, and he was simply climbing straight over steep mountains.
After climbing over a mountain, Li Mubai and Zhu Feng'er were already sitting under a pine tree above the top of the mountain to rest and began to fill their stomachs.
"How many mountains are there to climb?"
Li Mubai felt sweaty, looked at Zhu Feng'er with a relaxed look on his face and asked.
"Eleven, we just climbed a small hill, do you feel tired? You don't know that when I was a child, I really loved and hated these mountains. The reason I said it was hated is because I was young and it was very physically exhausted to climb over the mountains. I can't remember how many times I fell down from the mountains. Every time my mother saved me, and I was covered in bruises. But I had to be relieved that after climbing these mountains, I could see Brother Lu Fei. No matter how hard or tired I was, I would do it."
Zhu Feng'er's mouth slightly raised, and two red clouds surged out of her tender face, which was indescribable and cute.
Li Mubai was stunned when he heard this. He didn't know that these methods were used to train the children of his aristocratic family? But it was a bit too cruel. If these children fell down the mountain, they would definitely have no bones left.
"Okay, I've almost had enough rest. Keep going. Can you still hold on?"
Zhu Feng'er smiled sweetly.
"It's OK, but it's best if you use some shrinking ground to form a talisman. On the one hand, it can save our physical strength and on the other hand, it can save time."
Li Mubai shook his body, and the tiredness on his body swept away. With his current skills, this little strength was nothing at all. Then he took out two talismans that shrank into a tile and handed them to Zhu Feng'er. Zhu Feng'er was slightly happy when she saw the yellow talisman. She slapped her legs without hesitation. The yellow talisman suddenly flashed slightly, turning into a yellow light and pouring into it. Li Mubai also used two tiles that shrank into a tile to bless him.
The two of them ran around the mountains at a very fast speed. After a few jumps, they went down the mountain and climbed to another mountain.
This mountain is relatively steep, and the steepest part is almost at a right angle of 90 degrees. Li Mubai grabbed the protruding rocks with both hands and secretly squeezed his cold sweat. If a very steep place like this falls, it will fall directly because there is no place to borrow force at all.
Zhu Feng'er had already climbed up the mountain and poked her head out. She was very anxious now. She would have found some smooth journeys if she had known. The routes they are now taking are the shortest routes, but they are also the most dangerous.
Li Mubai lit a raised stone on his toes, feeling that most of his feet were hanging in the air. He couldn't help but look down. There was already a lot of fog below, and he seemed to be hanging in the air, his palms and forehead were covered in sweat, and his footsteps were even a little soft, although it was only a few meters away from the top of the mountain.
No, I must climb up!
Li Mubai gritted his teeth and planned to use the dust stairs to walk up. But he didn't know that the dust stairs were used. As soon as he tried his best, the stone was stepped off. The weight of his body could not be controlled for a moment. In addition to the panic at this moment, he let out a terrifying scream and fell down. His ears were filled with the sound of wind and Zhu Feng'er's anxious cry.
He fell very quickly. In desperation, he calmed down and remembered Mo Li's teaching of his colorful lotus-raising technique. He pinched a magic trick with both hands, muttering something in his mouth. Suddenly, he felt a force dragged under his feet, and the magic power on his golden elixir was slowly passing away.
Looking down, a red lotus cloud had already appeared under his feet, holding him floating halfway up the mountain. He stomped his feet before breathing a sigh of relief. The red cloud was still very strong. In order to avoid Zhu Feng'er being too worried about finding him, Li Mubai reached out to a little above the top of the mountain. The red lotus cloud under his feet began to rise, with a very fast speed, almost reaching the top of the mountain in more than ten seconds.
Li Mubai withdrew the magic trick, looked at Zhu Feng'er who was stunned, and smiled slightly:
"Stay on the way."
Zhu Feng'er rubbed her fleshy eyes, looked at Li Mubai carefully, and pinched his arm before speaking in surprise: "I...I'm not a ghost, I...I seem to see you flying up. Have you cultivated the Qi?"
"I have not cultivated the Gang Qi. Gang Qi can only be cultivated by martial artists. All I have practiced is the technique of flying clouds and driving fog."
Li Mubai shook his head helplessly. This qi was not so easy to practice. His mother Liu Qing was still a little short of it, and there was nothing to hide in the technique of flying clouds and fog, so he told Zhu Feng'er so that she would not chatter again.
"Taoist art of flying clouds and fog, my god, Mu Bai, you... you have actually reached the late stage of the Golden Pill! This... this is equivalent to the realm of the chief disciple of the major sect in the magic world! Even if we meet Luo Zilong again, we will not be afraid of him."
Zhu Feng'er finally recovered after a long time.
"You don't have to be afraid, but Luo Zilong's experience in fighting skills is much higher than mine, and he also has many strange treasures on his body."
Li Mubai's face looked a little embarrassed. When he thought of Luo Zilong's ability to arrange a silver talisman array with just a wave of his hand, he was really capable, unlike himself who relied on the soul-suming lamp.
"Hey, why are you discouraged? You are practicing so fast, but don't forget to practice magic. How can you do it with just a body of magic? Yes, okay, let's go quickly."
Zhu Feng'er ran to Li Mubai and reached out to hold Li Mubai with his hands.
"How can I go if I don't let go?"
Li Mubai looked at the little girl with a smile on her face and asked.
"Since you have practiced the technique of flying clouds and fog, why are we going to cross mountains and rivers? Take me over. I haven't cultivated the Qi yet and can't fly alone, hurry up."
Zhu Feng'er shook Li Mubai's arm and spoke excitedly.
"No, I didn't know how to use the technique of flying clouds and fog at an important moment. Moreover, using the technique of walking clouds is already very mana. With one person, I'm afraid that half of the flying path will fall. At that time, before we saw your brother Lu Fei, we had to go to see the King of Hell first."
Li Mubai spoke with a serious expression.
"You're right. You have to save your magic power. It's very rare for a cultivator to reach the late stage of the Golden Pill. You can almost compete with the strength of the patriarch. We have to preserve our strength."
Zhu Feng'er let go of Li Mubai's hand and strode forward.
Although the next mountain was not as dangerous as the second one, it was also thrilling. However, Zhu Feng'er was familiar with it all the way. He knew that when the two of them crossed the eighth mountain, the sky had already begun to darken, and the howlings of wolves came from the wilderness and wild forests, intermittently, and it sounded like some people.
In addition, on the eighth mountain, there seemed to be some different places. The terrain was not steep and even very smooth. It was easy for the two of them to walk up. However, the monster of this mountain was very strange. There were very few trees growing on it, most of which were loess, and there were piles of soil around it, just like a tomb pile. Li Mubai was puzzled. He didn't know these strange soil piles. Even if they were really a tomb pile, they would at least erect a monument, but now there was nothing, only quiet, quiet that penetrated into his bones.
