In the mountains in winter, everything you look at is a withered and withered scenery. The big trees with all their leaves are like old people who are dying.

The cold wind hit my face like a knife.

Dae Jang Geum wrapped herself in a down jacket. In winter, unless she had to, she would not go up the mountain to collect herbs because she would freeze to death, but today, she felt so warm.

This dress is so easy to wear!

I’m afraid there’s no one in the middle hall, right?

Da Janggeum raised his head and looked at Lin Baici's back.

He is so powerful, he must be a big shot in the Celestial Kingdom, right?

"Mr. Lin, we are almost there. Just two quarters of an hour's walk will be where we hunt and collect herbs!"

Li Taixian unzipped his down jacket. It was too hot and made him sweat profusely. He was reluctant to wear it and wanted to save it for the wedding.

"Half an hour left?"

Gu Qingqiu stopped, bent over, holding her knees with both hands, and gasping for breath. Her physical condition was not good to begin with, and traveling on the difficult mountain road was simply too torture.

"I told you to stay at the foot of the mountain, but you didn't listen!"

Lin Baici tried to persuade her, but it was useless. Girls like Gu Qingqiu have independent ideas of their own, or they are stubborn and will not listen to other people's suggestions at all.

Gu Qingqiu wanted to save face. After hearing Lin Baici's words, he tried to control his breathing and continued walking forward.

She must not be underestimated, but she began to blame herself in her heart.

Gu Qingqiu, you are too self-righteous. You are worried that they will miss important clues when they enter the mountain. In fact, there is no need. Lin Baici's brain is very easy to use.

"I should trust him!"

Gu Qingqiu reflected that since she was a child, she had only trusted her father, and now Lin Baici is qualified to be the second one.

More than half an hour later, everyone arrived at a mountain slope, where a wooden house was built with wood. Judging from the appearance, it was more than ten years old.

"This is a place where hunters, ginseng gatherers, and medicinal herb collectors rest after entering the mountains. Firewood can be used, but you need to replenish it as much as you use!"

Li Taixian introduced the unwritten rules and opened the door of the wooden house.

The inside is very simple, with some firewood stacked on the west side and a lot of logs laid on the east side, more than a foot above the ground. This can prevent moisture and can be used as a floor and bed.

A sunken fire pit was dug out on the log bed, with a rope hanging from it and a dirty clay pot hanging from it.

After eating, the fire pit can be covered with a wooden board, so that when sleeping on it, the residual heat of the fire pit will make the night very comfortable.

Lin Baici took a look and judged from the thickness of the dust that no one had lived here for several months.

"Looking at it like this, Doctor Li probably didn't enter the mountain!"

Gu Qingqiu sighed.

Doctor Li is over fifty this year. In ancient times when life expectancy was generally low, this was considered a long life. If he went into the mountains alone for many days, he would have little hope of surviving.

Gu Qingqiu felt that Dr. Li would not do such stupid things.

"Two people form a team, go find Divine Doctor Li and meet here in the evening!"

Lin Baici arranged the task and glanced at these people with fierce eyes: "Don't be lazy. If you are discovered by me, I will definitely make him feel more uncomfortable alive than dead!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, we will definitely find Divine Doctor Li!"

The bearded party quickly made sure.

"Li Taixian, lead the way to the forbidden area!"

Lin Baici urged, time was too tight, and he didn't know how Hua Yueyu's condition was, so if he could go back a day earlier, he would have less to worry about.

"Do you really want to go?"

Li Taixian swallowed: "There are mythical beasts there, and trespassers will be killed!"

"Then kill the mythical beast and drink it!"

Last night, Lin Baek quit chatting and spent most of the night talking to Lee Tae Hyun and Dae Jang Geum, and learned that there was a forbidden land in the mountains.

Lin Baici went to the mountain today. In addition to looking for Doctor Li, he also planned to enter the forbidden area to have a look. What if there were clues to the pollution caused by the purification rules?

"Regiment Lin, instead of letting those officers and soldiers look for themselves like headless flies, why don't you just follow us?"

Quan Xiangren came close to him and quietly suggested that he felt that in critical moments, these people could be used as bait to distract the monster, even if it only took a few minutes, it would be enough.

"Whatever, just do whatever you want!"

Lin Baici didn't care.

Quan Xiangren immediately stopped the bearded man and asked him to lead his troops to follow.

The team set off again, and an hour later, they arrived at a mountain col.

"If you go any further, you will enter the forbidden area."

Li Taixian pointed to a large stone in the distance, with the four characters "Those who trespassers will die" written on it in the blood of some kind of animal.

Next to the big stone, there was a circle of wooden stakes, and on each stake was a human head that had rotted to the point where only bones were left.

Lin Baici glanced at it, not caring at all, and walked in first: "Spread out in a fan shape, that is, everyone is twenty feet apart. If you find anything, shout!"

Quan Xiangren didn't care about this kind of warning, but as natives, the bearded men and his party were very nervous. Just when they were about to find a reason to stay, Lin Baici's cold eyes were already staring at them.

"..."

The bearded man shivered, not daring to talk nonsense, and followed obediently. However, he played a trick and stayed close to Lin Baici. In this way, if he encountered danger, he could approach him in time and get protection.

Everyone continued to move forward, the temperature was very low, and the breath they exhaled condensed into white mist.

Lin Baici touched his stomach.

If you don’t feel hungry, you can only rely on luck to find it.

"To the northwest, there are herbs."

Nagami suddenly commented.

"Herbal medicine? Can it cure the plague?"

Lin Baici looked up, looked at the compass, and immediately quickened his pace. More than twenty minutes later, he saw a steep cliff, which looked like it had been split vertically by a giant axe.

There is a mountain stream and spring water flowing, making a gurgling sound.

"Go over and have a look!"

Lin Baici was alert to his surroundings.

Li Taixian is indeed an elite member of the tiger-catching army. In this kind of area, his perception is very strong and he is very experienced, and he immediately sensed the crisis.

"There might be someone!"

As soon as Li Taixian finished speaking, a black shadow suddenly shot out from the forest and went straight to Lin Baici's face.

That's a wolf tooth arrow.

"careful!"

Li Taixian was in a panic and it was too late to rescue him. Then the next moment, he saw that Mr. Lin didn't even dodge, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the arrow that was shot at it.

"Sir, be careful! It's poisonous!"

Li Taixian quickly reminded.

"fine!"

Lin Baici looked at the arrow in his hand. He was wearing giant elephant power gloves, otherwise he would not be so reckless in catching arrows: "Do you know him?"

"The arrows were made by the mountain people themselves!"

Dae Jang Geum knew this kind of arrow. She was caught by the mountain people before. Because she was a medical woman and knew medical skills, she was let go because she treated the mountain people. Otherwise, she would have died long ago.

"This is our hunting ground. Leave immediately or we will kill you without mercy!"

After a male voice finished speaking, more echoes echoed in the mountains and forests, followed by screams and calls for help.

Some officers and soldiers were arrested.

"what to do?"

The bearded man was a little nervous.

"Come out and surrender, or die!"

Lin Baici held his sword with murderous intent.

"You guys come together!"

Quan Xiangren urged, everyone was in a hurry and had no time to play a death and survival game with these mountain people.

Phew! Phew! Phew!

More than a dozen arrows were immediately shot at Lin Baici. The mountain people were not stupid. They saw that Lin Baici was the boss, so they naturally killed him first.

Without a leader, the enemy will inevitably be defeated.

Dang Dang Dang!
