Xu Jianguo hid in a tree and looked into the forest. A moment later, a colorful little snake appeared in his sight.
With the appearance of this little snake, tens of thousands of snakes of various kinds poured out of the forest and headed towards the lake.
This shocking scene made Xu Jianguo's scalp tingle. He immediately held his breath and dared not move.
Although his body had been strengthened, and he later practiced three supreme Taoist techniques, and his cultivation had reached the foundation-building stage, he still did not dare to be careless.
After waiting for nearly twenty minutes, the tide of snakes finally crawled over the big tree where he was, and the lakeside, which was originally empty, was now covered by dense swarms of snakes.
Suddenly, the huge figure in the middle of the lake let out a long roar towards the sky, and the thick fog surrounding it spread outward like a mushroom cloud produced by a huge explosion.
Xu Jianguo, who was hiding in a tree, was almost shaken down by the sudden cry.
As the voice fell, the snakes gathered on the shore seemed to have heard the command. They coiled their tails, straightened their upper bodies, and pointed their heads towards the center of the lake.
When he saw this, Xu Jianguo felt that he could not wait any longer. Although he didn't know why these snakes were acting so abnormally, if he waited for them to return to the jungle, it would definitely cause unnecessary trouble. It would be better to seize the time and hurry on his way.
Xu Jianguo did what he said. He jumped down from the tree, landed steadily, and immediately performed the Taiyi Youlong Zhendian and headed towards the dilapidated Taoist temple.
The forest is still quiet, and mist can be seen floating in the forest from time to time.
Xu Jianguo ran wildly in the forest for more than an hour and came to a stream. He found a big rock to sit on and took out his military water bottle to drink.
As he got further and further away from the lake, the uneasy feeling in his heart disappeared.
Looking at the map in his mind, he realized that he was already halfway to the dilapidated Taoist temple.
Xu Jianguo opened his backpack and took out a box of self-heating rice. He spent half an hour satisfying his stomach, packed up all the garbage into his backpack, and continued on his way to his destination.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Jianguo came to a place covered with thick fog. According to the map, he only needed to go through the fog to reach the dilapidated Taoist temple.
However, Xu Jianguo did not rush into the thick fog, because he found many animal corpses in the area covered by the fog, which made him feel dangerous.
After thinking about it, Xu Jianguo retreated nearly a hundred meters, found a big tree and sat down under it, and called up the map in his mind to check it.
After a moment, Xu Jianguo shook his head helplessly, his brows deeply furrowed.
From the map, we can see that the dilapidated Taoist temple is surrounded by a circle of thick fog, and there is no place to go around.
Xu Jianguo had a headache. Facing the target so close, he was blocked by a dangerous thick fog.
After thinking for a long time, the sky gradually darkened and Xu Jianguo stood up from the ground. He felt that waiting there was not a solution, so he decided to circle around the fog to see if he could think of a solution.
Xu Jianguo chose a direction and walked forward. Occasionally, some strange bird calls could be heard in the forest, which made the Mihun Pond even more eerie and terrifying at night.
Night is the time when animals go out to find food. With the help of night vision, Xu Jianguo's vision is not affected at all. In just a few hundred meters, he found traces of many small animals.
After walking forward for a while, a rustling sound came from the grass not far ahead, and Xu Jianguo instantly hid behind a big tree.
He had just hidden when two dark shadows jumped out from the bushes. Xu Jianguo looked closely and found that they were actually a fox and a hare.
At this time, the fox and the rabbit were wrestling with each other. The fox's sharp teeth had bitten the hare's neck, but the hare was not dead yet and was still struggling fiercely.
The hunter and the prey rolled on the ground, and unknowingly approached the thick fog not far away.
The hare seemed to sense that death was approaching and began to struggle more violently, kicking the fox with its two powerful hind legs, which further stimulated its ferocity.
The fox suddenly turned over and began to shake its head vigorously, but it did not notice that there was a tree stump protruding from the ground next to it, and its chin hit it with a "bang" sound.
The fox, which was in a ferocious state, was interrupted by the sudden severe pain, and its mouth that was biting the hare loosened slightly.
The hare, which originally thought it was dead, was suddenly stunned. It felt the fox's mouth loosen its grip on it, and it was immediately delighted. It kicked its hind legs hard and escaped from the fox's mouth.
After escaping death, the hare only wanted to run away, so it plunged into the thick fog without any hesitation.
But after it entered the thick fog, it ran a few steps and then fell to the ground, and then there was no movement.
Xu Jianguo, who was hiding behind a tree, saw it clearly. His pupils shrank slightly, and he secretly thanked himself for being cautious and not rushing into the thick fog.
Xu Jianguo believes that this thick fog is most likely a poisonous miasma.
"What should we do?" Xu Jianguo sighed.
Walking out from behind the tree, Xu Jianguo found that the fox had disappeared. After thinking about it, he decided to continue with his previous idea.
Without stopping, Xu Jianguo continued to walk forward, constantly thinking of a solution in his mind. As he walked, a sudden flash of inspiration came to his mind, and he raised his head and looked around.
Xu Jianguo just thought of Fu Niu, Wen Sitian, and the old Taoist priest in his mind, and then naturally thought of Qingyun Temple.
He remembered that when Fu Bo was interrogating Shen Hou and Hai Zhu, the two had confessed that when their people attacked Qingyun Temple, the old Taoist priest and Mingkong escaped with Fu Niu.
However, Xu Jianguo had been to Qingyun Temple before. The mountain with a strange shape and hundreds of meters high is still unforgettable to him. Moreover, the mountain is surrounded by cliffs and there is no mountain road to climb up.
So, in such an emergency situation at that time, how did the old Taoist priest and Mingkong escape with Funiu?
When Xu Jianguo thought of this, he thought of the secret room behind the stone wall of his old house, so he wondered if there was a secret room in Qingyun Temple that he had not discovered?
Assuming that there really is a secret room in Qingyun Temple, then is there also a secret passage leading to the outside world in Podao Temple, our destination this time?
The more Xu Jianguo thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, so he looked up and around while walking just now. In fact, he was using the Eye of Time and Space to search for the whereabouts of the secret passage.
After making up his mind, Xu Jianguo immediately quickened his pace and used the Taiyi Youlong Zhendian again.
Half an hour later, Xu Jianguo stopped in front of a big tree with a smile on his face.
