To the surprise of the two, the more they walked into the valley, the fog became lighter and lighter, and now Zi Qi Lu became overjoyed, and hurriedly beckoned Lao Wu to speed up his pace.
The two of them crossed a steep slope overgrown with dwarf yellow shrubs, and came to an undulating meadow of water and meadows, crisscrossed with ravines and stagnant water, and the water was silted black and smelled of rancidity.
At this time, the fog had completely dispersed, and Qi Lu saw that there were towering mountains in front of them, and the position they were in was the very center of the valley, and the dense fog behind them was still covering the way they came, as if to remind them that only by moving forward could they have a chance to live.
"How can there be a swamp of water and grass in the canyon" Qi Lu asked with a glare, feeling that this was a bit against the common sense of geography.
"Whatever, maybe it's a trap, and someone wants us to rub it off a little longer."
Lao Wu replied.
Qi Lu took out the compass from his backpack, but found that the pointer was swinging indiscriminately, and couldn't help sighing and said: "It seems that the magnetic field in the valley is very strong, even the compass is out of order, and now we can't tell the direction, and there is no guide or anything, how to go later" "I don't know, I can only follow the road."
Lao Wu said: "The swamp in front of me is probably a dangerous area, I have heard that there are many hidden rivers in the valley of death, and if you accidentally fall into it, you will die." ” "Although the divine power has disappeared inexplicably, we won't die in this ghost place" Qi Lu looked at the animal corpses scattered everywhere in the swamp, frowned slightly and said, "Strange, how did those pregnant women cross this swamp" "Hmph, I can't take care of myself and worry about others, these women are all pregnant with divine fetus, naturally there are gods in secret, they can't die if they want to."
After Lao Wu complained, he took the sharp short knife in his hand, turned around and cut down two small trees, then cut off their branches and leaves and handed one to Qi Lu.
"Wait, don't walk around, step on the meadow and jump over one by one."
Qi Lu knew that what Lao Wu was talking about was valuable experience, so he nodded silently.
Lao Wu told him again, "The stick is not for you to use as a crutch, you can use it to test the depth when passing by puddles, and remember to put it across your chest when you don't use it." ” Hearing this, Qi Lu laughed, "Master, look at what you said, you look like a veteran." ” It turns out that swamps often hide quagmires that are difficult to detect with the naked eye, and it is easy for inexperienced people to fall into them.
The mud is usually very deep, and if the person who falls into it struggles desperately, he will sink deeper and deeper, and eventually be swallowed up by the mud.
Lao Wu reminded him that putting the stick across his chest would increase the force area when he fell into the mire, so that the person could slowly move his body and climb out.
The two of them walked forward one foot at a time, stopping from time to time to check the nearby terrain so as not to fall into the dark swamp in a daze.
The grass was muddy and watery, and the shoes and trouser corners they wore on their feet were wet after walking for a long time, Qi Lu felt very uncomfortable, and when he was about to bend down to take off his shoes, he saw a snake in the puddle next to him raise its head from the edge of the protruding rock, and hiss at him with a threatening sound.
Lao Wu didn't think about it, he waved his stick and beat this nasty guy away, and the two continued to move forward, and Qi Lu found that there were not many other living creatures except for the bones along the road.
He couldn't help but sigh, "It's really Death Valley, I haven't seen a few small animals in the past half a day." ” As if he was joking with Qi Lu, suddenly there was a commotion in the big grass pile in front of him.
A wild bird flew up from inside, followed by another, and soon the whole meadow was black and filled with screaming and circling birds.
Qi Lu was suddenly taken aback, and found that flying in the air was a small bird the size of a sparrow, covered in yellow and black feathers.
"This is the yellow birds of Pengshan, how did they appear here" "The yellow bird has appeared, will the blue bird be far away" Lao Wu's expression looked unnatural.
Qi Lu was silent, he was very familiar with the two divine birds that Lao Wu said.
The yellow bird is not an ordinary bird, it is a mythical bird that feeds and transmits messages for the Queen Mother of the West.
And the blue bird is their leader, accompanying the Queen Mother of the West all the year round, and will only appear in the world when conveying the great will of the mother.
The sudden appearance of the yellow bird, is it to convey some important information to himself Qi Lu hurriedly stared at these divine birds, but when his neck was paralyzed by the straightening, these divine birds were still flying around in a group, but they did not have the slightest intention of conveying the message to them.
"Maybe they're not here to deliver the message."
Lao Wu hesitated behind him and said, "Maybe their appearance is a sign." ” "What signs?"
"It heralds that the valley of Nalengrad has become the abode of the gods."
Lao Wu squinted at some of these little creatures and continued: "The green and yellow birds usually do not leave Pengshan and Kunlun, but now they are gathered in large numbers, which can only mean that Niangniang has arrived at the Nalengrad Gorge. ” "Yes, the master should be here."
Qi Lu retracted his gaze, "Her spirit is fortunate to be in one of the 14 pregnant women, who is about to be resurrected into this world." ” Lao Wu also felt the same way, nodded and said: "It seems that the beast really didn't lie to us, the dawn of the gods is not far away." ” At this time, Qi Lu's eyebrows suddenly tightened, and he remembered what Meng Huai had said to him, and he couldn't help but say in a lost voice: "By the way, I remembered, Meng Huai told me that this is the site of the ladder, and said" But he stopped in the middle of his sentence, because the sudden vision in the air succeeded in diverting the attention of the two.
As if sensing danger, the yellow birds flew towards the distant mountains without warning, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"There is a situation" Qi Lu hurriedly glanced at Lao Wu, but as soon as the words fell, his face changed, and a thunderous sound that shook the earth instantly sounded around him.
At the same time, a cold wind mixed with mud and smell hit the face.
"Damn, there's no place to hide from the rain here" Lao Wu just shouted angrily, and a thunderbolt fell into the grass near him, and suddenly burst out countless lightning sparks, and then disappeared invisibly.
It was only then that the two realized that something was wrong, and although there was thunder in the sky, not a drop of rain had fallen.
Countless bolts of lightning slashed down from above their heads, all slashing into the grass just a few meters away.
This scene is very shocking, and it is impossible to describe its wonder in words.
Strangely, however, none of the places struck by the lightning burned with flames, and not a single lightning bolt struck them.
"Is this a warning from the gods" Qi Lu immediately made a judgment, if it weren't for this reason, this strange thunder and lightning would have slashed at them a long time ago.
As expected, as Qi Lu finished saying this, the thunder suddenly stopped, and the sky returned to a clear place.
"Don't be so confident, maybe there are demons at work."
Lao Wu took out the ghost hunting instrument that Ding Xiaolan often used from his backpack, and wanted to use it to detect the nearby demonic aura, but this instrument was out of order like Qi Lu's compass.
"Shhhh He seemed to hear someone whispering in the distance, and when Qi Lu calmed down and continued to listen, the voice became louder and closer.
Lao Wu also heard it, and found that it was the sound of two men talking, so he whispered to Qi Lu: "It seems that someone is coming, let's find a place to hide first." ” Qi Lu nodded silently in agreement, so the two walked behind the nearest protruding haystack and crouched there, listening with bated breath like rabbits in a hole.
The two men spoke faster and faster, judging from the urgency of their tones, they talked very seriously, almost fiercely arguing, but Qi Lu noticed a strange phenomenon, that is, they were not speaking modern language.

Lao Wu bit his ear and said, "Isn't it familiar to hear this accent?"
Qi Lu was silent, but his body trembled, because the tone of the two men was too intimate, this was the language of the gods of Kunlun, and the humans in the world could not understand a single word at all.
As if sensing that someone was eavesdropping, both sides of the conversation suddenly stopped, and even the wind was strangely quiet.
Qi Lu poked his head out from behind the haystack with a mind full of questions, wanting to see who the man who spoke was sacred.
But reality disappointed him, there was no half a figure in the swamp, and there was not even any sign of living creature in the sky.
"Maybe they used an invisibility spell, wait until I use a spell to force them to show their original form."
As soon as Lao Wu finished speaking, the two mysterious male voices appeared again.
Qi Lu hurriedly signaled Lao Wu not to act rashly, and this time, they all clearly heard what the two men were saying.
One of the men said, "The man you are waiting for will appear." ” "Yes, he's coming."
Qi Lu poked his head out from behind the grass pile again, this time he really saw two white shadows floating ten meters away in front of him, surrounded by a faint light, he couldn't see their appearance clearly at all, he could only judge from the outline of his body that they were two burly people.
"Let me open the way for him" The man who spoke first pinched the trick in his left hand, pointed his halberd over, and a golden light flashed on his fingertips, and then the sound of gold and iron clashing sounded, and the water and grass swamp in front of them disappeared instantly, revealing a sheep intestine path.
"The grievances I have carried," another white shadow spoke, sounding strange in her voice.
"Thou shalt cleanse them, and the blood I shed will be repaid tenfold to the gods."
As soon as the man's words fell, the place where the two white shadows stood was full of golden light, and they swirled up and down like a tornado, enveloping them heavily.
With a thunderclap, the two mysterious men had disappeared from Qi Lu's sight.
Everything returned to silence, Qi Lu and Lao Wu stared at each other, unable to say a word in shock. i0 t1706231537:
