Twilight Boundary

The shouts passed into the forest, and only the leaves were shaking and the withered grass was swaying. However, after listening for a long time, there was no response.

Hu Ma suddenly frowned, and the people around him also felt their hearts sinking slightly. They looked at the forest in front of them, and felt that the movement was more and more strange, which made people feel uneasy.

They have just entered the mountain, and they haven't even met the people in the mine yet, let alone talk about grudges. But first they encountered the poisonous dog that was harmful to people. They shouted loudly at this moment, which also showed the etiquette of the world. , thinking that if the other party is nearby, he will definitely be able to hear it.

But now it is silent. What does the other party mean? Does he not want to talk about it?

The old abacus next to him took out a map and whispered: "Come to think of it, we should have arrived by now. I just calculated with Xiao Kanyu and we didn't go in the wrong direction, let alone hitting the wall."

"But unfortunately, you can't see anything here..."

"..."

Following his gaze, everyone looked forward, and indeed they saw that before the clearing, there was still a deep forest, without any sign of blood ore.

There was no one around, it was like arriving in a deserted wilderness.

"Perhaps we have indeed arrived."

Hu Ma observed the surroundings, took a deep breath, and said: "There is an open space here. It doesn't look normal. It seems to be the traces left by logging and building houses in the mine."

"Maybe, after passing the forest in front, we will reach where we want to go."

"..."

After hearing what he said, they all followed and observed it, vaguely feeling that what he said made sense, but looking further forward, the forest was no different from the ones they passed through. The vines were intertwined and the trees were towering, and they could not be seen at all. There is even the slightest trace of a road!

Hu Ma was not in a hurry and said to Lao Abacus: "Brother, we haven't offended anyone. We have followed the rules of the world and shouted. Now what we do will not be considered rude, right?"

Old Abacus immediately nodded and said, "This is natural. Under the sun, no matter where you go, how can you not be allowed to be reasonable?"

"That's good."

Hu Ma took a deep breath, then took off Zhou Datong's monster serrated knife from the donkey's back, clamped it under his side, and walked forward slowly. Soon he reached the end of the open space and looked towards That large area of ​​deep forest where monsters grew and vines intertwined like tentacles.

Then, he suddenly took a deep breath, suddenly swung the knife, and his energy and blood exploded, with a vague masculine power to ward off evil, and he slashed hard at the gnarled roots at the foot of a towering tree in the forest.

"Bang..."

As soon as the sword fell, everyone heard a scream of screams and howls, which made people's eardrums swell. In their eyes, the whole forest seemed to be shaking in panic, and strange shadows fled in all directions.

When the noise passed, they looked blankly and saw that a road had suddenly appeared between the old forest that was still entangled with vines just now.

There are still traces of ruts on the road, which are obviously used by people.

"The Blood Food Mine is indeed right ahead..."

The old abacus couldn't help it, jumped off the donkey cart, took a look, and said with joy: "I just said that I learned this little Kanyu, and I bought it for two blood food pills. I must be really capable... …”

"Did you really find the place?"

Zhou Datong and others hurriedly followed, feeling delighted, but Hu Ma stopped them in a hurry, picked up a pebble from the ground, and threw it forward.

Among the trees inside, there was a mist, and the branches and leaves were swaying. Looking from the front, they looked wide and green, with nothing unusual about them. But when they were hit by a stone, the leaves turned over, and they suddenly discovered that there was a colorful flower hidden behind the leaves. The poisonous insect fell to the ground.

Everyone was still a little excited just now, but a lot of it suddenly disappeared. They looked at each other, not daring to imagine what would happen if they went in.

"This forest is full of things..."

Hu Ma took a deep breath and said to Lao Abacus: "It seems that it's not some shaman blocking the way, but the people in the blood food mine who don't welcome us..."

"First it's the voodoo dogs, and then there's the forest that's infested with voodoo insects..."

Old Abacus's face turned a little green as he looked at it, and whispered: "The people in the mine here are not very polite, and their attitude is very cruel..."

Hu Ma looked at the forest carefully and said, "Brother, do you know how to remove poison?"

Old Abacus said with a headache on his face: "A few years ago, a shaman recruited me to be his son-in-law. If I became his son-in-law, he would be able to teach me, but I was too strong-willed at the time and did not agree to this marriage... "

"I don't have much ability, but I have a lot of criticism."

Hu Ma complained secretly in her heart, but she also had a headache. She didn't know what was in the forest, or even how many weird things were hidden there. Even though she was a seasoned person, she was not afraid of ordinary poisonous insects, so she didn't dare to break in... …

But I rushed here to take over the Blood Food Mine, and now I have to give up halfway and just turn around?

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a snort. It turned out to be the horse that had been following him all the way. At this moment, he raised his head excitedly and looked towards the deep forest.

Then, without saying hello, it suddenly raised its hoof silently and walked slowly forward.

Zhou Datong and others were startled and hurriedly tried to hold it back, but Hu Ma was moved in her heart and said, "Just follow it."

Lao Pansuan and others were all puzzled, but they saw that Hu Ma was already following the horse, and the others hurriedly followed. Even the donkey, which had been alert for a long time, clamped its tail and followed quietly. .

"Chi chi chi chi..."

Following the horse into the deep forest, everyone was more and more surprised. Just now, the appearance in the forest was no different from the outside, but now the horse was walking in front, stepping through the grass. I kicked the vine away, but it suddenly felt like I had hit a honeycomb.

From time to time, poisonous insects or strange powders popped out from the swinging branches and leaves on both sides, and attached to the horse's back one by one, causing hissing and stinging pain.

Through the dim light of the sky, they actually saw scorpions the size of a thumb, spiders the size of copper coins, slender strange snakes with black rings and white background, etc.

When Leng Buding looked around, he couldn't see these things at all and were hiding on both sides, but now they all jumped out one after another. They greeted the horse at the same time like a frightened honeycomb, making everyone following behind feel numb. .

The horse was obviously in pain, and its body kept shaking, but its steps became more and more brisk. When it couldn't stand it anymore, it even neighed happily twice, as if it was celebrating something.

"This horse..."

The poisonous insects on both sides are scary, but the performance of this horse is even more scary.

Both Lao Abacus and Zhou Datong and others already felt a little numb. This horse was a little crazy.

"This man finally got through it..."

Hu Ma followed behind, feeling a little panicked, but she only sighed softly in her heart, as if she had fulfilled some kind of request.

Miss Clarinet gave the horse into her hands at that time, just to let it die.

It wanted to die, but it couldn't be killed by someone else's hands, so it could only wait for death to come. Miss Red Wine asked her to bring it here because there was really no danger that could satisfy it in her farm. .

At this moment, it went through the Gu array for itself and died of the evil poison in its body, which was equivalent to finally waiting for its own perfection.

Hu Ma will not kill it with her own hands, nor will she deliberately send it to a dead end, but now that it has found its own opportunity, of course it will not stop it...

In this way, he borrowed the horse to go into the formation, and everyone followed him. Little by little, he walked through the forest and saw the lights in front of him.

When they finally passed through, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The poisonous insects on the horse suddenly became stiff and fell down. Its body was also red, swollen and blue, its hoofs and feet were weak, and it suddenly fell heavily.

"careful!"

Hu Ma rushed forward and turned his hands to death to avoid being stained by the poison. Then he supported the horse's chest and made it slowly kneel to the ground.

Looking into the horse's empty eyes, one could see its relief. Hu Ma just nodded to it lightly, not intending to explain its confidence and reasons for doing so to others. It was enough for him to know. .

But watching the horse kneel down slowly, lying quietly in the grass waiting to die, Hu Ma also turned his head coldly and glanced at the forest behind him. No matter who had just set up this Gu array, it was What's the purpose? But I remembered it myself.

Next to him was a simple wooden door with a tattered red lantern on it. Now there was no fire inside, it was just swaying helplessly in the wind.

Hu Ma just glanced at it and understood the blood food mine's attitude towards the Red Lantern Society.

The red lantern is the symbol of the Red Lantern Empress. Hanging a red lantern means that this place is the territory of the Red Lantern Empress. Although it is hung here, it is not replenished or repaired, and the red lantern is left to weather. , not like a sign, but like a joke hanging here.

Going deeper, you can see a valley ahead, with braziers and torches lit everywhere, making it brightly lit.

In the valley, countless people with knives and guns in their hands and brave expressions were sitting there setting up fires and roasting meat to eat. When they suddenly saw Hu Ma and others coming, they were also startled and rushed over.

All of them looked at each other with evil eyes and shouted: "Who are you? This is a blood food mine. You just break in and you don't want to die?"

"..."

"miner?"

Hu Ma glanced at this group of ragged people with unkind expressions, but did not take them seriously. Instead, he looked past them and looked into the depths of the valley. He suddenly took a deep breath and gave a sharp shout. :

"Where's the person in charge here?"

"I am the Qingxiang disciple of the Red Lantern Empress. I'm here to check the accounts. The mine boss, come and see me quickly!"

"..."

This shout caused the faces of the miners in front of them to change drastically. They stepped back involuntarily, and the things in their hands clattered to the ground.

The horse next to it, with countless strange poisons in its body, has slowly lowered its huge head, welcoming the arrival of death, and even its consciousness has become blurred, as if it is about to fall into endless darkness...

...Then he was woken up by a violent shock, and he glanced at Hu Ma with a resentful look: "The feeling I had just been brewing was suddenly wiped out by you..."
