Chapter 301 Southeast (1)

Holding the Water Seal in his palm, he felt only warm and smooth, like a delicate ornament rather than a magical weapon. Luo Xuanyi tried to inject spiritual power into it, but the spiritual power was like a drop in the ocean, not provoking the Water Seal's slightest reaction.

She tried to place the Water Seal into the water again. The waves on the seal seemed to melt into real water, gushing out a clear spring. But that was all.

Is the Water Seal's true purpose symbolic rather than practical? Or is it that only the true Bo Huixiao can wield it?

After picking up the Water Seal and shaking off the water droplets, Luo Xuanyi handed it to the skinny dog: "Can you remember anything?"

The skinny dog lowered his head and sniffed, trying to recall something but obviously nothing came to mind. He shook his head dejectedly. Luo Xuanyi placed the Water Kingdom Seal in front of Huzhe's head and shook it: "What about you?"

The caller who fell into the water looked up with a purple face, opened his mouth and spat out a stream of water: "Ugh..." and fell back face down.

It seems that we can't count on him.

Luo Xuanyi stood up, picked up Huzhe and threw him onto Longyue's back, and temporarily put the Water Kingdom Seal into the storage bag.

This thing is currently quite useless to her. It is basically just a spring technique that does not require the use of spiritual power. It may be of some use to cultivators who travel by water or have water spiritual roots, but it is completely useless to Luo Xuanyi.

But never mind, it would be a waste if I don’t take it.

"Let's go and find Dong Yeshan."

Luo Xuanyi took out a few incense sticks, lit them, and placed them in the hands of the caller on Longyue's back, so that the burning candlelight could thoroughly illuminate the caller's face. Then she asked the skinny dog to jump up and look after the caller. Everything was ready.

By this time, the newly overflowed water in the riverbed had already flowed into the empty deep pool. The muddy riverbed was soft but not difficult to walk on. Longyue easily carried Huzhe and the skinny dog on her back and headed southeast with Luo Xuanyi.

Under the starry night, a candlelight, like a moon, slowly rolled across the earth. From time to time, there were whispers around, and suddenly a few crows were startled from the empty valley, but wherever the moon passed, those strange gazes retreated into the darkness.

The moon finally left the dry riverbed and the vast plain, turning slightly around a mountain peak before its brilliance faded into the night. As it vanished from view, a few strange, low, whispering noises suddenly echoed through the darkness.

"I'm back..."

“…That bastard…”

"I'm going to report to Inuaki-sama..."

"Yudu is really overestimating his own abilities... He doesn't even need to do anything..."

"Are we going to start?"

"Finally... after ten thousand years..."

As the night gradually faded and a line of dawn appeared in the east, these faint sounds disappeared into the final darkness like melting ice and snow.

Luo Xuanyi, unaware of what was happening behind him, easily bypassed several hills and valleys, and only stopped for the first time when he encountered the first big mountain that crossed the southeast direction.

"So bright." This was Luo Xuanyi's first impression of the mountain before her. The candlelight on Longyue's back, already dimmed by the daybreak, disappeared as she reached the mountain.

Huzhe, who was sleeping soundly on Longyue's back, grumbled a few words and pulled the skinny dog's tail over his eyes before continuing to sleep. Luo Xuanyi couldn't help but stretch out her hands in front of her, squinting her eyes and gazing at the brilliance of the "Golden Mountain" that blocked her way.

It is no exaggeration to call it a Golden Mountain. This mountain is about two thousand feet high and stretches for seven or eight miles from east to west. From the foot of the mountain to the top, it is covered with a strange kind of golden pine trees.

The golden pine trees' branches and trunks were all golden, and their fallen golden needles dyed the entire landscape. When a tiny ray of light filtered into the forest, the entire mountain erupted in brilliant light like a triangular sun.

There was also a thick pile of pine needles at the foot of the mountain. Luo Xuanyi picked up one and examined it carefully. She was surprised to find that the pine needles were not just golden, but real gold.

Luo Xuanyi pried open her hands, and the golden pine needles softened and deformed. She then grabbed a handful of heavy needles; ten of them would weigh as much as a four-liang gold brick, as mandated by the Xuancheng Prefecture government.

A breeze blew across the Golden Mountain, and the heavy golden pine needles on the mountain began to sway, making a slight tinkling sound, and then fell straight down, hitting Luo Xuanyi in front of her like rain, and soon there was a large pile of them.

It is truly a gold mountain, and it can produce gold continuously.

The golden pine needles piled together, even without carving, the natural texture of the pine needles looks exquisite enough. The pine trees in the distant mountains are even more gorgeous and sparkling.

If you collect this pile of pine needles and melt them, you will definitely make a lot of money.

No, wouldn't it be even better if we just moved the entire mountain? It would be a bountiful harvest! While it wouldn't be as abundant as looting a trading house, who wouldn't love a mountain that continuously produces gold?

Luo Xuanyi couldn't help but take a step closer to Jinshan.

wrong!

Her footsteps softened the golden pine needles scattered across the ground. Nothing seemed out of place. But Luo Xuanyi no longer dared to neglect her thoughts. She put away her relaxed mood and cautiously stepped back a few steps, turning her gaze away from the golden and alluring scene.

Luo Xuanyi had actually become greedy for this mountain of gold. If she were in her normal state, she would have chosen to remain vigilant in this unfamiliar environment, especially since gold was not a very important thing to her.

There's something strange about this gold mountain; it's probably designed to arouse people's greed. And it's so quiet and difficult to detect.

Luo Xuanyi thought for a moment and made a decision.

It is better to take a longer route around the mountain, but walk a few more steps, rather than taking the risk for no reason.

She turned around and just took a step when she heard a loud crashing sound coming from the golden mountain!

“Ding-dang-dang!”

Countless pine needles fell, as fine and dense as a big net, covering Luo Xuanyi and Longyue. The rumbling tremors of the entire Golden Mountain poured down towards Luo Xuanyi!

“Tsk.”

He couldn't use his Qi to dodge, and he couldn't let Longyue fly through the air, or he would lose his way again. Luo Xuanyi acted decisively, using his Death Qi to grab Longyue. He then drew three Wind-Speed Talismans from his previous collection and affixed them to himself, dashing straight towards the direction perpendicular to the mountain's slope!

"Hey, hey, what are you doing?!"

With the blessing of three wind-moving talismans, Luo Xuanyi leaped three miles in a single breath! His incredible speed flung the caller directly into the air. Suddenly awakened from his sleep, he subconsciously grabbed Longyue's hind legs. He felt something thud against him and screamed in fear.

Luo Xuanyi glanced at him and knew that the caller was not seriously injured, so she didn't bother to pay attention to him. Seeing the foot of the Golden Mountain right in front of her, Luo Xuanyi walked around it without hesitation. However, what appeared before her was not the foot of the mountain covered with gold, but a snow-white one!

There was a thin slit in the snow-white, and it opened at the sound of movement. It was a golden eye.

“Hmm!”

Luo Xuanyi braked suddenly and changed direction in mid-air to avoid running headfirst into the golden eyes. Her foot touched the snow-white object, and she felt it soften underfoot. Using the momentum, she jumped, finally catching a clear glimpse of the snow-white object in mid-air.

It turns out that the Golden Mountain is actually the open mouth of a worm!

The insect was snow-white all over and extremely huge. At first glance, it looked like it had countless segments pieced together. Just by lying on a piece of flat ground, a mountain range stretching for dozens of miles rose from the ground.

It has no head, only a mouth. When it opens, it resembles a triangular peak, two thousand feet high and eight miles wide. Countless golden pine trees grow in its mouth. When the light hits the gold, it is so gorgeous that it is impossible to look directly at it. There is no way to tell it is a mouth!

"Hungry……"
