Chapter 278 Preparing to enter the mountains ………… After hearing that Mo Fan was going to Qinling Mountains to look for totems, Zhang Xiaohou volunteered to be the guide. "This town is used to prevent the demons of the Qinling Mountains. In fact, you have done me a big favor by coming here. I have always wanted to go into the depths of the Qinling Mountains to investigate, but there is really not enough manpower here. There are not enough I’m afraid it’s impossible to reach the depths of the real Qinling Mountains with such great strength,” Zhang Xiaohou said. "Do you control this town?" Mo Fan asked. "Yes, I am the one with the highest military rank in this military town for the time being, responsible for command and prevention, because this mountain pass is close to the Qinling Mountains, which are rugged and prone to hiding some big monsters. If we don't guard it well, it will seriously affect the ancient capital to the north, and several key transportation cities to the west will be threatened. To the south, it is very likely that they will unite with the White Demon Eagle Clan in Xiling to attack Su Province." Zhang Xiaohou said. Before entering Northern Xinjiang, Zhang Xiaohou had been dealing with the demon of the Qinling Mountains. Now the military in the Central Plains has given Zhang Xiaohou full responsibility for the Qinling Mountains issue, which can be regarded as a heavy responsibility. "The monsters of Qinling originated from Kunlun. The monsters of Kunlun all live in deep mountains and old forests. They rarely affect our inland and western cities. The Qinling Mountains are different. It is located right between several important cities. It can be said to be the dividing line between the north and the south. In the past, the undead were wandering and ruling the area to the north of the Qinling Mountains. Now that the undead have settled down, the monsters of Qinling Mountains have begun to make trouble..." said Bai Hongfei. Bai Hongfei also stayed in the area west of Qinling Mountains for some time, so he was more familiar with the situation there. "The big demon of Kunlun is also very difficult to deal with. According to the information I have, there may be a demon empire inside Kunlun." Zhao Tingxi said. Mo Fan also nodded. "All the totems in the world came from Kunlun. Kunlun can give birth to so many totem beasts. I estimate that there are more than one emperor-level demons in Kunlun. But now it seems that most of the demons in Kunlun are more Buddhist. Compared with the demons in other places, they are much less troublesome."
"It is still a turbulent time. Demons from all over the world are ready to make a move. The only way to protect more people is to improve our strength as quickly as possible." Zhang Xiaohou said. "Let's go directly into the mountain." Mo Fan said. Mo Fan was still eager to enter the super level and didn’t want to delay any longer. "We can't go into the mountain now." Zhang Xiaohou said. "Why is this?" Mo Fan asked puzzled. Do we have to choose an auspicious day to enter the Qinling Mountains? It can’t be that weird, right? "At irregular times of the year, there will be a gust of evil wind blowing in the Qinling Mountains. It would be fine if we were walking in some mountainous areas with dense forests. But if we pass through some bare valleys without vegetation or some high mountains that are mostly rocky, we will be eroded by this evil wind. Unless we maintain a layer of defense all the time, it won't be long before we are eroded by this wind and only bones are left. People who move around in our area call this Qinling evil wind the Suo wind." Zhang Xiaohou said. "With such a strong wind, the Qinling Mountains are indeed a strange mountain range." Zhao Manyan said. "We have to wait until the strongest phase of the wind is over before entering the mountains, otherwise we won't be able to walk many kilometers," Zhang Xiaohou explained. "Can you figure out the rules of this kind of wind?" Lingling asked. Lingling had made some preparations before coming. She also knew that the Suo wind was a very scary mountain wind. How it was formed was not known for the time being, but it was difficult for humans to survive in such a wind for a long time. "No, I have been in Qinling for some time, but I still don't know exactly when the Suo wind appears. It seems to be completely random." Zhang Xiaohou said. Entering the Qinling Mountains is a very difficult thing. Zhang Xiaohou has entered the Qinling Mountains many times during the years of marching, but many of the military mages who joined the army with him have stayed in the Qinling Mountains forever. He Zhang Xiaohou Considered relatively lucky. "The Qinling Mountains can indeed be called the Demon Mountains. Its temperament is really hard to figure out. Many hunters like to take root in a certain place. That's because in some areas, when you gradually become familiar with its environment, rules, and betrayal, you will be much safer and can also benefit from it. But the Qinling Mountains are different. I have never heard of any hunter who would like to look for treasures in the Qinling Mountains. Probably only your military can guard this Demon Mountains." Bai Hongfei said. "Is it so weird?" Zhao Manyan said. "The Qinling Mountains have been blowing strong winds again in the past few days. If we go in, we have to hide under the trees. It would be better for us to rest in the town and wait for the strong winds to subside before going into the mountains," said Zhang Xiaohou. "Since the Su wind has no regular pattern, we may run into it at any time if we go in. If it only blows for a while, we can still hold on for a while. But if it blows endlessly, won't we become a pile of bones? Is it necessary to go into this kind of mountain?" Zhao Manyan said. “There must be some way to deal with it.” Mo Fan looked at Zhang Xiaohou. Before Zhang Xiaohou could speak, Zhao Tingxi said, "Xiaohou, if your defense is strong enough, can you withstand Suofeng's action?" "In theory, it is possible, but if so many people are kept walking in Suofeng, the consumption of magic energy will be very high, and high-level magicians will not be able to hold on for long." Zhang Xiaohou said. "A high-level mage can't hold out for long, but a super-level mage should be able to hold out for a while, right?" Zhao Tingxi said with a smile, "My earth element has already reached the super level. I think I should be able to hold out for a long time with you in the Suofeng environment."
"In that case..." Zhang Xiaohou thought for a while, then said: "Brother Xi, how about this? The Suo wind will definitely blow in the next two days. You can go and feel the strength of the Suo wind. If it consumes little for you, you can set off against the Suo wind. But if the consumption is too high, then I still don't recommend you to make it difficult for yourself." Zhao Tingxi nodded: "Don't worry, I know what's going on." Mo Fan also patted Zhang Xiaohou on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Monkey. Old Zhao is very strong now. According to his strength, his defense is at least stronger than ten Zhao turtles!" “Ahem, it shouldn’t be ten, but there are still seven or eight.” Zhao Tingxi corrected Mo Fan’s words. “That’s much better than Zhao Wugui!” Mo Fan gave Zhao Tingxi a thumbs up! ………… (End of this chapter)
