Chapter 1302 Land of Death

Chapter 1302 Land of Death

"Sorry, sorry, I was wondering why it was so soft."

Lu Yun stood up hurriedly.

"Get out through the back window!"

Sheng Xue's face turned even redder and she raised her hand to point behind the couch.

"Miss, I'm going to call that guy!" Xiaolu's voice came from outside again.

"That guy?" Lu Yun was stunned.

"My benefactor, please leave quickly! It will be too late if you are any later!"

Lu Yun was kicked off the bed by Sheng Xue. It seemed like he had experienced this scene before... before.

He didn't dare to delay and quickly opened the rear window and jumped out.

Even though it's just next door, it still takes some time.

When Lu Yun pretended to stand in the room and open the window, Xiaolu had already broken in.

"Hmph! Since you're up, why didn't you open the door for me after I knocked for such a long time?" Xiaolu asked with a pout.

"Don't I need to wear clothes? Don't I need to open the window for some fresh air? You don't know anything. No wonder you always stay with Miss Sheng Xue."

"you……"

"What do you mean? We are leaving for the Holy Mountain today, why don't you go and see if your young lady is up?" Lu Yun stood with his hands behind his back, looking serious.

"Humph!"

Xiaolu couldn't argue with Lu Yun, so she had to pout, swing her arms, and go to the next room.

"Whoo~"

Lu Yun patted his wildly beating heart and let out a long sigh.

Half an hour later, everyone was ready to go.

Hei Hu and several guards changed their clothes and no longer wore armor.

Sheng Xue sat in a gorgeous sedan chair, and Xiao Lu walked beside it.

The group of people left Linshui City in an inconspicuous manner.

The group headed westward and soon stopped in front of a forest.

Sheng Xue came out of the sedan chair to rest, and Xiao Lu served her beside her.

After several guards put down the sedan chair, they went to guard the surrounding area.

Lu Yun and Hei Hu sat on a rock not far away and chatted.

"Commander Black Tiger, how much do you know about the Holy Mountain?"

"Holy Mountain?" Hei Hu shook his head and said, "Not many. I only accompanied the Third Prince here twice. And I just waited outside the Holy Mountain and never went up."

Hei Hu frowned and thought for a moment.

“However, when you stand at the foot of the Holy Mountain and look up, you will feel awe, as if your soul has been sublimated.”

"Oh? There is such a magical place?" Lu Yun was a little unconvinced.

The so-called sacredness is caused by the atmosphere created by humans.

If one person thinks something is sacred, it doesn’t matter. If two people think something is sacred, it doesn’t matter either. But if three people think something is sacred, then something that is not sacred becomes sacred.

This is the psychological effect.

"I heard that the name of the Holy Mountain was given by the first Hades. It is said that before the first Hades took over the underworld, he received the favor of a powerful person on the Holy Mountain."

"After that, the first Hades went to the Holy Mountain every ten years to visit that mighty being. But later on, it was said that that mighty being later ranked among the immortals and ascended to the upper realm. Who knows?"

Lu Yun could see that Hei Hu had a look of longing on his face.

Sheng Xue walked slowly with Xiao Lu's support.

"After passing through this dense forest, we can see the holy mountain. We have to speed up." Sheng Xue reminded.

"Huh?" Lu Yun was puzzled.

"Miss, you are right." Black Tiger explained, "This dense forest is called the 'Land of Death'. I don't know who turned it into a no-fly zone. The same is true for the entire thousand-mile radius around the Holy Mountain. It's not feasible to take a detour."

"Don't tell me there are some monsters in there, and they are of a very high level that ordinary people can't deal with!"

Lu Yun complained.

Sheng Xue, Hei Hu, and Xiao Lu all looked at him in shock.

"You guy, you know all these things? I now seriously suspect that you must have been to the underworld before!" Xiaolu asked seriously.

"Hahahaha!"

"Giggle!"

Lu Yun's face was full of black lines.

This is what he read in the immortal cultivation novels when he was in the lower world. He didn't expect to encounter it again.

It’s really a beep!

After resting for a while, everyone packed up their equipment and continued on their way.

Lu Yun looked at the dark forest and felt a little uncomfortable.

"Brother Lu, this dense forest is the first test for the participants of the Holy Mountain Feast. The previous two times when the Third Prince and I came here, we saw a lot of fresh corpses."

Hei Hu walked up to several guards and explained some things to them.

"My benefactor, don't be afraid. With your level of cultivation, it shouldn't be a problem to pass through this dense forest." Sheng Xue comforted.

"Uh... ok."

This is not what is written in the novel. As the protagonist, you will definitely encounter ferocious beasts, and it will take some twists and turns before you can finally kill them.

You might get some demon pills, or something else, or you might tame a strange beast and make it the protagonist's pet.

Shaking his head violently to dispel the unrealistic thoughts in his mind, Lu Yun followed Hei Hu into the dense forest.

There were eight guards, three on the left, three on the right, and two at the back. Lu Yun and Hei Hu were in the front, surrounding only Sheng Xue and Xiao Lu in the middle.

Not long after walking, the surroundings suddenly became dark, and the light from outside the dense forest behind seemed to be blocked and could not shine in at all.

The eight guards, together with the black tiger, sacrificed a magical weapon at the same time. After reciting the incantation, each of the eight magical weapons emitted a soft light.

Bright, but not dazzling.

It is obvious that they came well prepared this time and seem to be very experienced.

Hei Hu took out his male ghost-head knife and strode forward with a fearless look.

Looking at the others, their expressions were the same as usual, without any sign of fear.

However, Lu Yun's heart kept beating "bang bang".

He always felt something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

At this moment, a strange noise came from the bushes in the west. Lu Yun looked hurriedly and saw a small animal the size of a palm running away.

Lu Yun was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

He was not afraid, but the sudden sound made him feel uneasy.

"Brother Lu, you are worrying too much. This 'Land of Death' is just a name. I have been here twice, and apart from corpses, I have never seen any ferocious beasts!"

"Gah~gah~gah~"

A strange noise came from the east again, causing Lu Yun to turn around again.

In this way, they walked safely for most of the day, and then everyone stopped again to rest on the spot.

“Brother Lu, take a sip!”

Hei Hu threw a water bag towards Lu Yun. Without thinking, Lu Yun knew what was inside.

Sitting on the ground, Lu Yun leaned against a towering ancient tree.

He unscrewed the lid and took a big gulp.

"Hi~"

A spicy feeling ran from the throat to the stomach.

He wiped his lips and closed the water bag.

Hei Hu sat beside him and drank a lot of wine.

"This is the only hobby I have in my life, but I still lost to you last night. Oh, it seems that I, Hei Hu, am destined to achieve nothing!" Hei Hu complained with his eyes closed.

"Don't say that... Shit!"

Just as Lu Yun turned his head, he saw a giant python spitting out its tongue and climbing down from the tree.

It opened its mouth wide, but was knocked away by Lu Yun's punch when it was less than half a foot away from the black tiger's head.

"what?"

Hei Hu suddenly opened his eyes and jumped up.

A moment later, a non-venomous giant python was skewered by three guards and placed on the fire.

Soon, a fragrance gradually drifted into the distance.

Not far away, a pair of eyes were staring at the direction of the crowd...
