Chapter 180: Strange Stone Mist Array
Silent all night.
After having breakfast early in the morning and packing up the wooden house, He Qianqian and the other four began the second day's exploration.
We seem to be lucky today, the sun is shining, the clouds and fog have diminished, the view along the way is clear and the visibility is very high.
However, the sacred mountain is still towering into the clouds and is still obscured by mist, so its entire appearance cannot be seen clearly.
Even though it looked very close, they kept on riding and still could not reach the foot of the mountain.
Occasionally we would encounter a strange-looking beast, which would either be scared away or beaten away by a few people, but everything was fine.
The road is full of flowers and spring is in full swing.
The plant resources here are extremely rich.
He Qianqian explored the wood-related abilities along the way and also gained a lot from plants.
When she comes across rare herbs, she will collect a few and grow them in the planting space.
The "Emperor's Rest Fruit" has been planted in the planting space for several rounds, but it never sprouts.
When she came here, He Qianqian suddenly had an idea. She planted the seeds of the Emperor's Rest Fruit and used her supernatural power to make them germinate.
The seeds actually sprouted through the soil and soon grew into small saplings as long as an arm.
Everyone sighed and said that this was a beautiful place with outstanding people and beautiful scenery.
~
At noon, they came to a flat open area.
A flat terrain does not mean a broad view.
There are many large trees of various shapes and sizes growing here, with lush vines entwined around the treetops, making it look eerie and scary.
Xiao Bo and Xiao Zhong could no longer find the way to the sacred mountain.
I could only look at the direction of the sacred mountain from afar and tentatively approach that direction.
Before they knew it, the five of them had walked into a rocky area.
There are many strange big rocks standing there. The rocks have been eroded by wind and rain and present various strange animal shapes.
In addition, there are trees, shrubs and weeds growing in the cracks between the rocks, which makes the scene even more gloomy.
Xiao Bo suddenly said, "Stop, my gravity ability is not working again."
Xiao Zhong's heart skipped a beat: "My trick doesn't work anymore, let's retreat quickly and find another way forward."
The four males surrounded He Qianqian and retreated cautiously, trying to leave this area of strange rocks.
The retreat was very smooth, but after a stick of incense, it still did not retreat.
Instead, there are more and more strange rocks behind him.
Xiao Bo looked solemn as he quickly climbed up a tall strange rock and looked around.
He exclaimed, "Strange, there are so many strange rocks that you can't see the end. But we didn't go that deep, did we?"
Jianze said, "Come down quickly, I'll take off and take a look."
I saw him open his wings, flutter a few times, and finally his feet were on the ground.
"It's broken, and I can't fly."
Xiao Bo and Xiao Zhong quickly mobilized their special powers, trying to make Jianze lighter.
Still no sign of Jianze flying up.
Just then, fog suddenly appeared, and thick fog spread around them, making visibility lower and lower.
The four males, as if facing a formidable enemy, all rushed towards He Qianqian in unison.
Ming Gong Yao was closest to her and she grabbed her hand and pulled her into her arms.
He hugged me tightly and didn't dare to let go.
In a few blinks of an eye, there was only fog in front of my eyes and I could not see anything.
Everything in front of my eyes was white, as if I was blind.
Jianze missed his target and started shouting.
He heard Xiao Bo and Xiao Zhong's voices, and he grabbed around with his hands, finally catching them both.
The three of them held hands and kept calling out to He Qianqian and Ming Gongyao.
After shouting for a long time, until his throat was cramped, he still didn't hear any response from He Qianqian or the other person.
Jianze was extremely anxious: "Oh no, it's not going to be another maze!"
Xiao Bo: "Qianqian and Minggongyao couldn't find us, so they must be shouting, but why can't we hear them?
Are they both in trouble?"
Xiao Zhong's heart tightened: "Jianze, how about you use your fire ability to burn it?
We must find the female as soon as possible, without wasting a moment."
Xiao Bo stopped them: "We can't burn it. We need to confirm her and Ming Gongyao's locations first, otherwise we might accidentally hurt them."
Jianze frowned, feeling panicky inside:
"At the last moment, I saw Ming Gongyao holding Qianqian's hand.
Ming Gong Yao, please don't let me down."
Xiao Bo and Xiao Zhong were finally a little comforted.
Xiao Bo: "Ming Gongyao is reliable. He can definitely protect the little female."
Xiao Zhong: "Yes, we have to find them quickly as well."
The three of them didn't dare to let go and kept moving.
Jianze cannot set fire to the surroundings, but can set fire to the top of his head.
He sprayed flames on his head, and the hot flames could disperse the thick fog, and he could locate himself by looking at the sky and vegetation.
Relying on their positioning, the three of them moved slowly and steadily towards the setting sun.

Ming Gongyao hugged He Qianqian tightly, and the two of them quickly moved closer to Jianze.
But they crashed into a big rock with a bang.
When did a big stone appear in the middle?
Ming Gong Yao was knocked off balance.
"Jianze, Aze!" He Qianqian began to shout, and Jianze disappeared from her sight in the blink of an eye.
Ming Gong Yao was also shouting.
But even though they were very close, he couldn't hear any response from the other party. He couldn't even hear any footsteps or breathing.
He Qianqian threw out a few vines, and the vines stretched out countless tentacles to explore the surroundings.
As a user of wood-related abilities, she can sense the touch of every vine.
All I could sense were strange rocks and trees all around me, but no orcs.
"There's some kind of fog here. We have to be careful," she warned.
"Qianqian, hold on to me and don't act on your own. I wonder if Jianze and the other two are separated or together?"
"I only saw Xiao Bo and Xiao Zhong holding hands."
Ming Gong Yao said: "Jian Ze has the sixth-level supernatural power, I believe he is also looking for us."
He Qianqian comforted herself: "Yes. Training is both collective training and individual training.
If Jianze were left alone, I believe he would be able to deal with it.
The only things that can do him harm are various poisons. I have given the three of them several antidotes, so I believe they should have no problem protecting themselves.
We should get out as soon as possible."
Ming Gong Yao mobilized all of his ice abilities and began to condense ice to freeze the surrounding fog.
But the fog kept coming, and visibility was very low.
Relying on the little visibility, the two of them slowly moved in a certain direction.
The vines sent out by He Qianqian were also looking for a way.
The two worked together, and gradually the thick fog thinned until the view gradually became clear.
Finally, He Qianqian's vines discovered a body of water.
"Ming Gong Yao, in this direction, there might be a lake or a river."
"Hmm. Why can we hear each other? If there is a river, why can't we hear the sound of water flowing?"
"Too weird, could it be another maze that prevents people from getting close to the sacred mountain? Now let's go to the waterside and take a look."
Finally, under Teng's guidance, everything became clear to her and Ming Gong Yao.
The fog completely disappeared.
A large mountain lake stretching as far as the eye can see is right before our eyes.
He Qianqian stretched out the vine and went into the water to explore.
Ming Gong Yao placed his hand in the water and used his ability to sense changes in the water flow to investigate.
"Qianqian, there's something under the water."
He Qianqian said: "Jianze joked yesterday that there would be a big lake on Mount Shenshan. I didn't expect there would really be one. But there wasn't even a bird flying over the lake."
Ming Gong Yao looked back at the direction where they had just walked out of the fog: it was still confusing there.
"How are we going to find Jianze and the other three?"

Answering a few questions in the comments section:
1) Why does the male protagonist have space? [Answer] Because I have seen Curtis, he was hanging all over bamboo cans when he was moving, I thought it was stupid. :) So my male protagonist must have space. Haha.
2) Why are there so few cool male protagonists in animal world stories? [Answer] Have you ever seen a cool CEO wearing an animal skin skirt? I have written three stories, but I always fail to portray the cool and cool character, and in the end, he turns from aloof to a bootlicker. I can’t help it, my writing is incompetent.
3) Some people say that she looks like Bai Yingying next door. [Answer] Everyone has seen this, do you still think she looks like her? :)
This novel has been highly recommended and reviewed, and has already gone through several rounds of cross-examination. When I wrote the outline, the setting for the male protagonist was as follows. Any similarities are purely coincidental.
1) Li Yan, childhood sweetheart of the original owner, liked the original owner, and finally truly fell in love with the soul of the current heroine; (some people dislike him for being unclean physically and mentally, but it is not his fault that the heroine has changed.)
2) Ling Ye, does not like the original owner, and would rather die than form a relationship with him. He is not affected by the animal affinity empowerment, and only loves the current female protagonist, even if she is ugly, short and infertile, he still likes her, and likes the female protagonist's lively soul; (Some people think he killed the original owner. I won't clarify. In fact, you can skip it if you don't like it. There are many male protagonists, let's change one:)
3) Jianze, Qingyu, and Ye Qianmu were attracted by the heroine’s animal affinity, but in the end they liked the heroine as a person.
4) Ming Gong Yao, who is not affected by the heroine's animal affinity empowerment, does not fall in love at first sight, but falls in love with the heroine's soul over time;
5) Hu Ling, love at first sight;
6) The giant panda brothers fell in love with each other over time, or they fell in love with the heroine when they met her;
7) Langshu Teng, likes the heroine's plant attributes;
8) There are also Phoenix and Suanni (personality to be determined. I really want to create a cool and aloof character, but it will probably be difficult to create)
