Who let him join the Sword Sect!

Chapter 360 Target System, but First Take a Trip
What happened in Mushroom Valley naturally has to start from Mushroom Valley.

Although the name of the Mushroom Valley contains the word "mushroom", there are actually no mushrooms growing in the valley.

According to the tourism brochure, this valley spans the Changjing Glacier, with two sub-valleys running parallel and merging at the other end. When viewed from the air, the two largest sub-valleys form a mushroom pattern, a masterpiece of nature.

The rest of the small rifts are interspersed, like the cracks on a ripe mushroom.

Hence the name Mushroom Valley.

But according to the village intelligence collection of the old lady of the demon tribe, this explanation is simply to shoot the arrow first and then draw the target.

The truth is that the demon lord burped when naming it and said Donggu as Donggu Valley.

Because he felt disgusted by the repetition of words and didn't want to admit that he had burps, he just went along with it and made up this excuse, changing Donggu to Donggugu.

However, the reason why Donggu Valley has become a famous tourist attraction in the north is not because of the beautiful legend about the origin of its name, but because of the mysterious bone shadows that appear and disappear in the valley from time to time.

It is unknown when this legend began, but every year after winter and before summer, tourists or monks claim to have seen huge bone shadows in the glacier layer in the valley.

Eyewitness testimonies varied widely. Excluding those who claimed to have been kidnapped by the Bone Shadow or even become pregnant, the more reliable ones mostly said they had seen a giant wolf or a six-legged, two-tailed bone dragon.

Although every witness swore that they were not lying, over the years no one has captured a clear image or been harmed by the bone shadow.

Similarly, no one has found the secret realm of opportunity in the Long Path Ice Field and the Mushroom Valley.

The demon lord in charge of this area had sent people to investigate many times and even came here in person, but in the end he could not find out anything.

The official explanation is even more vague.

One theory is that due to changes in feng shui, the earth's energy surged up, affecting people's perception and causing witnesses to have hallucinations.

The second theory is that the sunlight shone on a pigeon standing on the ice above the canyon, and the pigeon's shadow was cast on the ice, so people saw such a large shadow.

Although it is unreliable, the legend has been passed down thousands of times. Even if it is true, it becomes false, and even if it is false, it becomes true.

Nowadays, searching for bone shadows in Mushroom Valley has become a must-do activity for tourists to the North.

Believe it or not, it’s free to take a look around, and it can be something to brag about to your friends when you go back.

At least that’s what the little monk thought.

So after hearing that Shou Shou was going to take him to Donggu Valley, he put the travel brochure he picked up from Longxu City between the Buddhist scriptures and read them all the way.

After entering the valley, the little monk's eyes were never idle. He kept looking around, searching for the legendary bone shadow.

And then he actually found it.

Of course, he would rather not see it now.

After entering the valley, Shoushou kept walking on the small path in order to hide. Halfway through the journey, they stopped at a fork in the road.

Shoushou was using his imperial magic to identify the direction, and the little monk, bored, took two steps towards one of the forks in the road.

When he took the third step, he suddenly saw a shadow spreading like ink on the wall of the glacier valley.

The shadow soon formed a vague shape of a giant beast. The little monk wanted to call Shoushou to come over and take a look, but as soon as he turned around, the shadow emerged from the glacier.

At the same time, the surrounding glaciers shattered and fell off, the avalanche was silent, and the bone shadow rolled up the flying snow and rushed towards the little monk.

The little monk couldn't sense the breath of the bone shadow, so he blocked it, but in an instant half of his body lost consciousness.

There is nothing much to say about what happened afterwards. Adhering to the principle of dying together, the little monk did not run away alone. Instead, like a true brother, he led the skeleton shadow to Shou Shou.

Shou Shou didn't think anything of the bone shadow, just laughed at the little monk's inexperience, and blocked it with his hand.

Then there is no more.

He discovered that the ability of this thing was unknown, and it became stronger when it encountered a stronger opponent.

As soon as it came into contact, half of Shoushou's abilities were sealed, and even his thinking began to slow down.

In order to sneak into Baidi City, Shoushou used a special method to suppress his own cultivation. He was not confident that he could handle this thing without being exposed.

I'm going to slip away. At worst, I can just not go this way and take another route.

The hand that retracted into the snow leopard's body was also worried about the little monk. Instead of leaving him alone, it took him away and occasionally used spells to order the little monk to stay behind to cover their retreat.

But the little monk had a strong desire to survive and always ran in front of Shoushou in a very rude manner.

The two had tried to use escape techniques, but they could not escape danger whether flying or hiding underground. Not only did their attempts fail, but they also caused the spell to go out of control and almost backfired on themselves.

As for that bone shadow, it was also strange. Although it had the power to suppress two people with one blow, unless they fought back, it would just follow behind them, keeping a subtle distance, like a real shadow.

The little monk had a feeling that this strange bone shadow was guarding something, and that this thing probably had no intelligence. All it wanted to do was drive the two of them out of the Mushroom Valley.

The young monk pondered for a moment, and suddenly a lotus platform appeared under his feet. He took a step into the air, and before he lost control and crashed into the ice wall, he canceled the spell and surpassed Shou Shou again through the young monk's unique secret technique of walking on walls.

"Your Majesty, little monk..."

The young monk was interrupted by a hand before he could finish his words.

Hands, "Shut up and stop asking me unnecessary questions!"

The young monk did not get angry. He continued, "Your Majesty, please listen to me. I believe that this skeleton has no ill intentions. All it did was to drive you and me out of the valley.

"What I want to ask is, Your Majesty, do you know where the way out is?
"It doesn't welcome us, so we'll just take another route."

Shou Shou didn't reply when he heard this, but just snorted coldly and continued running forward.

Looking at Shoushou's stubborn back, the little monk realized that he must have lost his way.

The bone shadow not only affected their spells, but also their minds.

"Your Majesty, I have another idea. This thing may only chase moving creatures. If you don't move, it may not chase you. Why don't you try it?" The little monk caught up with Shoushou again and said.

"Why don't you try it?" Shoushou glanced at him.

"Because I'm not feeling well today." The little monk told a cold joke.

Hands, “…”

The little monk's embarrassing joke did not freeze Shou Shou, who cursed and surpassed the little monk again.

After running for a while, just when the two were about to trip each other again, they suddenly saw a person standing in front of them.

The man was tall and thin, with dark skin, a woolly curly afro, and some war patterns painted on his upper body that didn't look domineering at all, but rather funny. No one knew which tribe in the west he came from.

At this moment, the barbarian brother was studying the ice in front of him, concentrating on it, as if he had discovered a new continent. He did not notice the little monk and the snow leopard running towards him, nor the skeleton figure chasing after them.

As the saying goes, internal conflicts should be resolved externally. After discovering this silly barbarian brother, the two stopped their internal conflicts and decided to use him as an experiment.

See if the bone shadow will attack something that cannot move.

The little monk and Shoushou attacked at the same time.

The plan was originally good, one hit the left leg and the other hit the right leg.

However, due to the suppression of the bone shadows behind them, the power and accuracy of their attacks were extremely poor.

They didn't hit the barbarian brother's thigh, but went straight to his head.

I don’t know whether he hit him or not, but Brother Man fell to the ground with a thud.

The little monk: “…”

Hands, “…”

Without hesitation, the two of them jumped over the hurdle on Brother Manzi's body.

But just as they were about to turn around to see if the bone shadow had hurt any dead creatures, a black wind blew over.

"Ayasi, my friend~ What is that thing? It scared me to death!"

A strange barbarian accent rang in their ears.

Brother Man, who had just fallen to the ground, had already climbed up. The battle patterns on his body were glowing faintly, and he passed between the little monk and Shoushou like a sequined black wind.

How come this guy runs so fast?
This thought popped up in both of their minds at the same time.

Brother Manzi's long legs left him far ahead of the other two, and the little monk and Shoushou became the ones who covered Brother Manzi's retreat.

They originally planned to attack again and kill this strange barbarian, but as they were running, they suddenly found that this barbarian seemed to know the way?
Following behind Brother Manzi, the ice valley in front of them gradually became wider. The little monk immediately realized that the two of them had left those narrow rifts and returned to the two largest sub-valleys.

There weren't that many forked roads in these two sub-valleys. If they followed Brother Manzi and followed the main road, they would definitely be able to leave. But before the little monk could be happy, he saw a group of people appearing in front of him and blocking his way.

Judging from their appearance, they are probably tourists.

This group of people are all cultivators, most of them are barbarians, their cultivation is not high, and none of them has reached the Golden Core stage.

An old demon was standing in front, leaning on a walking stick in his hand, and slowly telling everyone all kinds of made-up stories.

Next to him was a girl, who was also a barbarian. Although she was listening, her eyes were blank, and she looked very bored and wanted to go home.

Before the little monk and Shoushou could think of anything, Brother Manzi took a step forward.

He did a 360-degree turn in the air, then landed on his knees and slid in front of the old man.

Manzi hugged the old man's thigh and shouted, "Lord, save me!"

Someone whose cultivation level cannot be seen is not necessarily an ant, but may be an old man pretending to be young.

The old man called Marquis raised his hand and paused with the crutch in his hand. The sound of swords and weapons rang out around him, and countless sword energies slashed towards the little monk.

……

pity.

Shou Shou and the little monk's adventures did not fast forward to the end.

The air surged, and countless sword energies passed by the little monk, eliminating the flying snow behind him into nothingness.

"Ayasi, Lord Marquis, you are so awesome! This sword is so cool!" The barbarian brother got up from the ground and praised with his hands dancing.

But the old man ignored him and looked at the young monk. He said, "Young friend and the spirit beast beside you have quite a strong cultivation base. It's just a mere avalanche. Why are you in such a mess?"

He didn't see any bone shadows or notice anything unusual just now. All he saw was a simple avalanche.

Before the little monk could say anything, the barbarian brother spoke up, "Hey, Lord, you're wrong. That wasn't an avalanche, it was a bone shadow. I saw the legendary bone shadow. It was chasing us fiercely. If it weren't for you, Lord, we would have been finished!"

When the young monk heard the barbarian speak, his heart sank. He had no good intentions in the valley just now. If the barbarian told him what had just happened, he would really not be able to escape.

He took a step back and put his hands in front of him.

Unexpectedly, the barbarian brother did not complain, but ran over very kindly, gave the little monk a big hug, then turned around and hugged the little monk, and turned to look at the marquis.

"Friends, we are all friends. My tongue was stuck on the ice just now. If you two hadn't helped me break the ice, I wouldn't have been able to get it off. You know, I'm afraid of pain."

As he spoke, Brother Manzi took out his storage magic tool, and without even looking at it, he took out the precious jade and spiritual stones from it and stuffed them into the little monk's hands.

He looks like a rich Western barbarian.

"This is friendship money. Here, here, my new friend."

At the border, he chattered about the bone shadow and asked the little monk to testify for him.

"My friend, you saw it too, right? That big thing looks like a tiger."

Seeing what Manzi did, the girl beside the Marquis snorted coldly and stepped forward to kick Manzi.

"Brother, you're so boring! You even resorted to using a shill to make up a story. The bone shadow thing is just a trick to deceive tourists. How could it be possible in this world?"

However, before Manzi's sister could finish her words, she swallowed them back.

A huge eye-shaped shadow appeared on the ice wall beside her, staring at her.

Xixianzi Valley in Donggu Valley.

Zhang Ze and Mie Mie stood at the entrance of the valley, exclaiming together that the valley was so big and so long.

The two of them didn't need to hide, nor did they need to oppose the snow leopard. They took a flying boat that went everywhere and arrived at the entrance of the Mushroom Valley in just half a day.

After using a professional special magic tool to put away the flying boat that could go anywhere, Mee Mee asked.

"We can just fly over directly from the air, why come down?"

Zhang Ze, "Donggu Valley is divided into two sub-valleys, east and west, belonging to Prince City and Dong Merchants respectively. There are several strongholds of the True Dong Merchants in the west valley we are in front of us. Bai Tao said that the largest stronghold has a magic circle that leads directly to the other end of the Bear Pass."

Zhang Ze explained to Meeme while holding the brochure of Zhendong Trading Company given to him by Bai Tao.

Mee Mee stared at Zhang Ze in silence, and after a moment she said, "Even if we have to use the magic circle, we can just land directly at that stronghold. Why do we have to land at the entrance of the valley?

"You've said so much, I think you just want to go into this valley to look for the bone shadow."

Zhang Ze, “.”

Zhang Ze was not embarrassed when his true purpose was exposed. He continued to talk nonsense without changing his expression.

"Bone Shadow, oh, by the way, you still remember the giant beast skeleton in A-Li's stomach that was above the ruins of Baidi City, right?"

"I suspect the legend of the bone shadow in the Mushroom Valley is related to the giant beast's skeleton. Finding the bone shadow is also part of unlocking the secret of that time."

"Really?" Meeme didn't believe it and looked at Zhang Ze suspiciously.

"Really, although I have no evidence, you have to believe my intuition as a person who knows the truth." Zhang Ze said firmly.

Seeing that Mee Mee was about to say something, Zhang Ze coughed lightly and said, "Alright, don't say anything. I'm just curious, okay? Just give me half a day. If you can't find us, then keep on going!"

"Okay, you're the grown-up, so I'll listen to you." Meeme sighed.

A quarter of an hour later.

Mee Mee sat on Zhang Ze's shoulders with her legs crossed. She pointed ahead and asked, "Hey, are you still looking?"

Zhang Ze, “.”

In front of the two was a pedestrian street, at the end of which was a theme ice and snow world called Bone Shadow Park.

On the pedestrian street, people were coming and going, some with children, some dating, some for team building, some traveling from other places. There were all kinds of people. Zhang Ze even saw two senior brothers from the Sword Sect who were from an unknown Sword Pavilion.

Different from the concept of primitive ecological tourism on the east line of Prince City, Zhendong Trading Company has highly developed the west line.

Bone shadows and such don’t matter, the most important thing is to have fun.

Facing Mee Mee's doubts and the whipping of reality, Zhang Ze stubbornly said, "Look for it, why not? There are always unexplored places, and legends must have their reasons."

Meow, "Heh."

On Ari's side.

Only Lily was working hard at the shaft.

Xiao Tang is exploring the city under the pretext of checking if there are any more giant macaques.

The rest of the people were all standing on the roof of a building, watching the skeleton of the giant beast.

"Wow! A'li, you are so awesome. Even such a big monster couldn't beat you back then?" The little sister exclaimed as she looked at the big teeth of the giant beast.

"Oh, it's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning." A Li pretended again.

"But then again, what exactly is this? Sister Qi, don't you know it?" The junior sister turned around and asked.

Li Yueqi's braised egg terminator shook his head, "I don't know him, I've never heard of him. But I've already sent a message to Senior Zhuluo."

"Then what?" asked the junior sister.

"He said he seemed to have some impression and was thinking about it now." Li Yueqi said.

"When can you remember it?" asked Ali.

Li Yueqi thought about it and said, "At least a while, at most a hundred years. The old man has a bad memory, and there's nothing I can do."

Junior sister, "."

Bai Tao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

"It's Qiangliang!"

"Qiangliang? What is that?" Li Yueqi looked at Bai Tao curiously.

Bai Tao, "Qiang Liang is a strong man. I think I saw this skeleton when I was a child. Let me think, it seems to be from an amusement park."
