In the lush forest, a giant brown bear over four meters tall smashed through the tree trunks and fell to the ground, with blood seeping from its mouth and nose.
A young man, cloaked in black like a villain, stepped out from the dense forest.
He raised his right foot and stepped on the bear's chest, but his gaze pierced through the thinning gaps in the trees, looking towards the mysterious and perilous mountain not far away, shrouded in a mist of seven colors.
"Finally, I've arrived..."
Looking at the vaguely visible buildings on the mountain, Su Huai's expression was somewhat dazed.
The Great Wood Plain was really vast.
Especially after losing the ability to fly, unable to use spiritual power and authority, leaving only physical strength, the vast plain was not only easy to get lost but also full of dangers.
After all, even the weeds here are several meters tall; you don't need to say what kind of snakes, insects, and rodents are hidden in the grass.
Nineteen days ago, after Su Huai obtained the map to Lingyu Mountain and confirmed his own coordinates on the map, he left the melon field overnight and began to move along the planned route.
He just left the map, which was too ancient, saying it was the great-grandmother of A Man, only three generations apart, but the time difference was tens of thousands of years!
I don't know which generation married and had children so late!
Tens of thousands of years is enough to change too many things.
Many of the roads marked on the map have long been abandoned with the passage of time, now covered by dense vegetation, and there is no trace of the past.
Su Huai didn't know if he had detoured or how far he had detoured.
In short, after running at full speed, it took him nineteen days to finally see the scenery that matched the content of that painting.
Fortunately, compared with tens of thousands of years ago, Lingyu Mountain has not changed much.
The mist is lingering, with a pillar reaching to the sky, and the mountain wall is covered with blood-colored low trees, emitting a strange glow under the sunlight.
"Yin, take a look quickly, is this the Lingyu Mountain you said."
The little snake lazily lay on Su Huai's shoulder, a pair of vertical pupils looking at the solitary peak, as if reflecting the past scenes, a woman in red sitting by the water pool, she was propping her chin, with a smile at the corner of her mouth, watching the silver snake and the blue bird fighting in the water pool.
[It's here]
[When we came here, as long as we could climb to the top of the mountain by our own ability, and then get the recognition of an Autumn Feather Cicada person, we could get the qualification to enter the Ganling Lake]
[I don't know what the rules will be now]
"It's okay to ask when we get there."
[Also]
.
Lingyu Mountain is located at the edge of the Great Wood Plain, connecting the Great Wood Plain with Xuan Tan Marsh.
According to Yin, Xuan Tan Marsh is the territory of an Evernight Epiphyllum.
Evernight Epiphyllum is not included in the ten thousand races, it is an extremely high-grade special divine medicine.
It is said that its leaves even have the effect of reversing life and death, if someone can eat a whole Evernight Epiphyllum, there is even a possibility of becoming a god on the spot!
Well, it's just a possibility, not a certainty.
But even so, every year there are still many arrogant creatures pouring into Xuan Tan Marsh, dreaming of ascending to the sky in one step, and finally becoming a floating corpse in the marsh.
Under Tianyu Mountain is an ancient village.
Overall, it is somewhat like a remote rural town in an online game, full of a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
[This is the habitat of the Autumn Cicada Clan]
Not far from the mud, some farmers are farming.
On the grass next to the village, a few children are squatting together, playing a game full of childlike fun.
The boys are rolling up their trouser legs and bending over to catch fish by the stream.
The girls are playing in the flower fields and the wilderness.
If you ignore the transparent cicada wings that appear and disappear on their backs, Su Huai thought he had returned to the rural childhood on Earth.
"Why don't these people have cultivation?"
"In that case, how can the Autumn Feather Cicada Clan protect such a treasure as Ganling Lake?"
[Who told you they don't have cultivation?]
[Concentrate and look down]
"Hmm?"
Su Huai looked down at the land according to Yin's meaning and silently operated the Insightful Eyes.
One minute, two minutes... five minutes later, he saw a large number of light spots in his sight, all of which contained amazing breath, the weakest of which had the strength of the eighth order, and the strongest one could be in the top five among all the domain masters he had seen.
"Are these... also Autumn Feather Cicadas?"
[That's right]
[The life of the Autumn Feather Cicada has three stages]
[Larva: This is the original appearance of the Autumn Feather Cicada, likes the shade, likes the dark, lives deep underground, fears light, long-term exposure can even be burned by the air on the ground, so it can only continuously absorb the power of the earth's pulse to strengthen itself underground, which is also the strongest time in the life of the Autumn Feather Cicada]
[Reproduction: This is the second stage of the Autumn Feather Cicada, when it reaches this stage, the Autumn Feather Cicada can briefly climb out of the ground, about one or two hours, when the time comes, they will face two choices]
[Either crawl back to the ground and become a confused larva]
[Or shed the shell and become a real Autumn Feather Cicada]
[After becoming a real Autumn Feather Cicada, their strength will continue to flow away, becoming a real ordinary creature, and the lifespan is very short, generally only a short month, even with precious heavenly materials and treasures to extend life, the maximum lifespan is only about two years]
Su Huai listened to Yin's science popularization and couldn't help but feel a bit emotional.
In the secular world, the lifespan of insects is generally very short.
There are also cicadas in the divine realm and the fairy realm, but they are all ordinary cicadas, the fairy realm cicadas are roughly divided into three stages, the larvae can live underground for three to seven years, then evolve in two to three days, and finally add a bit of heat to the hot summer.
Of course, even if they shout with all their strength, the adult cicadas can generally only live for ten to fifteen days.
The life of cicadas is generally very inspiring.
Autumn Feather Cicadas are also like this.
After crawling out of the ground, the confused spiritual wisdom will gradually mature, but after a hurried encounter with the world, it will decay and wither.
If placed in the past, Su Huai knew that someone would give up almost eternal life in exchange for a month of brilliance, and he would definitely laugh at them in his heart.
But after experiencing a long life, he gradually understood this feeling.
In fact, most people have had this feeling, always looking forward to the holidays when they are in school, and looking forward to school when the holidays are long. When they were young, they always wanted to grow up quickly, and after growing up, they began to miss their youth.
Of course, feeling is feeling, Su Huai didn't forget his purpose for coming here.
Although the life of the Autumn Feather Cicada is short, the mind is also very mature.
The first day is just a mumbling fool, and the thirtieth day is already a wise man who has understood the life of the cicada.
So if you want to get the recognition of an Autumn Feather Cicada, according to the little snake's suggestion, it is the most secure to find a larva and squat.
