I’ll Quit Being a God

Rugged mountain roads, steep mountains, and primitive dense forests all receded quickly behind everyone.

Although Lu Heng and Xiao Ai's steps seemed very slow, they could cover several feet in one step. They walked easily and leisurely in the mountains and forests. All the mountain beasts they encountered along the way were frightened and fled in panic.

Huo Feng, who was lying on the back of the barge horse, hugged the horse's neck tightly for fear of being thrown out.

This barge horse is worthy of being a steed and a strange beast that can travel thousands of miles a day. Even in such rugged and difficult wilderness mountains and forests, it can maintain extremely fast speeds.

In Lu Heng's previous life, transportation that traveled thousands of miles a day was not uncommon, but it required smooth, open and good roads.

But this barge horse can run very fast in the forested wilderness, completely ignoring gravity, and it can easily climb over all obstacles.

Even in the surging river, this barge horse can directly ride through the waves and wade through the water.

Seeing such a scene that broke common sense, Lu Hengzhi sighed that it was indeed a strange beast, and it was indeed impossible to judge it with common sense.

By the time the sun set in the west and the stars and moon hung high in the sky, everyone had already left the boundaries of Baishi City and traveled thousands of miles south.

Huo Feng lay on the horse's back, his eyes were dazed and his ears were ringing.

This experience of running wildly on the back of a barge horse for a whole day, if converted to Lu Heng's previous life, could probably be regarded as lying on the roof of a high-speed car for a whole day.

The howling wind as the barge horses galloped made Huo Feng's eardrums hurt.

Although Lu Heng, who was traveling with him, gave him some protection, the young man still looked like he was about to die.

"I...I discovered for the first time that going too fast is not good," Huo Feng slid off the horse with a bitter look on his face, sat on the ground and sighed.

Lu Heng said with a smile, "Stop sighing, sit down and rest. Xiao Ai, pour Brother Huo a glass of wine to relieve his fatigue."

Lu Heng's words made Huo Feng's eyes light up instantly.

He quickly got up from the ground, dragged his swaying body slowly and turned blue and walked over. He chuckled and said, "This is so expensive. Lord Wolf God is too expensive."

Lu Heng laughed but didn't say anything. After watching Xiao Ai take out the peach blossom wine and pour a cup for Huo Feng, he said, "Have a rest for the night and have a good sleep. We will continue our journey tomorrow."

Huo Feng happily held the peach blossom wine poured for him by the little girl and nodded repeatedly.

Although I haven’t drank it yet, with this glass of peach blossom wine given by the Wolf God, the whole day of sleepiness is completely worth it!

After taking the peach blossom wine, Huo Feng immediately crossed his legs and closed his eyes, trying to sort out the spiritual energy in his body with the help of the peach blossom wine.

Although it still had no effect in the end, the physical fatigue was completely eliminated.

There was no words for the whole night, and the red-haired woman didn't come after her again. After dawn the next day, Lu Heng and the others were on the road again.

This time, it was still galloping all the way south.

However, in order to take care of Huo Feng, Lu Heng took the initiative to slow down. When night fell, everyone was about to walk a thousand miles.

In this way, traveling during the day and resting at night, Lu Heng and the others passed through barren mountains one after another and crossed large rivers one after another.

Finally arrived at Youtian Valley on the fifth day after being separated from the red-haired woman.

At this time, the roads under Lu Heng's and others' feet began to be mainly plains, and steep and rugged mountain roads like Baishi City were rare.

Even if there are mountains in the field of vision, they are mostly low hills.

The plains with smooth roads form a vast land. The complex water systems flowing on the plains fragment the entire southern plain.

And Youtian Valley is located on the edge of such a vast plain, in a mountain range that is not too steep.

The mountains are shrouded in white mist all year round, and strangers are not allowed to enter.

While walking in the mountains, Huo Feng explained, "It is rumored that there is a spring in Youtian Valley. The spring water is so cold that it will kill all flesh and bones of a living person if it touches it."

"But the spring water is magical, but few people come here."

"It's all because the Youtian Valley is shrouded in white mist all year round, and there are ghostly shadows lingering in the mist. If an ordinary living person breaks in rashly, he will be cut into pieces and die."

"So although Youtian Valley is only forty miles away from Youzhi City, the residents in the city never dare to approach this mountain, so it is inaccessible."

While Huo Feng was explaining, they had already stepped into the mist-shrouded mountains.

The moment he entered the fog, Lu Heng frowned slightly and felt a bit of sinister coldness.

This white mist is indeed no ordinary mountain mist.

Huo Feng, on the other hand, led the barge horse and walked in the fog, not daring to get too far away from Lu Heng.

As he walked, he said, "I met a senior fellow from Yunmen not long ago and heard the news from him that the witch girl, one of the ten witches in Lingshan, recently came to Youtian Valley to refine medicine."

"According to legend, this witch girl has the best temper and the most compassionate heart among the ten witches in Lingshan. Now I bring this fat bird to the door, maybe I can get her to heal her."

Huo Feng said, looking at the birdcage hanging on the back of the pack horse.

In the birdcage, after the torture of the past few days of travel, the fat bird has lost the vitality it had when it was first caught. Now it is lying sickly in the birdcage, shaking as the birdcage shakes up and down, completely It's like giving up the struggle.

Seeing the sickly appearance of this exotic bird, Huo Feng couldn't help but smile and said, "This fat relic bird is extraordinary. If I were to use it, I would just sell it for money, or use it as an antidote to drive away poisonous insects."

"But the witch girl is very skilled in medicine. Only when this fat relic bird falls into her hands can it be considered as useless... huh?"

Huo Feng was halfway through what he said when he suddenly noticed something. He stopped abruptly and looked at the fog ahead with a frown.

Pale mist lingered in the valley.

Unknowingly, they had arrived at the entrance of Youtian Valley.

Although they could not clearly see the appearance of the valley due to the mist, the stone tablet at the entrance of the valley with the words "Youtian Valley" engraved on it was clearly visible.

But what caught Huo Feng's attention was not the stone tablet, but the strange noise in Youtian Valley.

In his daze just now, he seemed to see a figure walking through Youtian Valley...

Lu Heng looked at the valley in front of him and said, "The evil and cold air in this valley is a bit stronger than outside the valley. It is not surprising that there are ghosts and ghosts entrenched in such a evil place... It's okay, just move forward. , I will protect you."

Lu Heng's words made Huo Feng breathe a sigh of relief. He quickly raised his hands and saluted, "Thank you, Wolf God."

After saying that, Huo Feng took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and walked directly into the fog in front of him.

Behind him, the huge white wolf and the little girl with silver hair and animal ears also followed in silently.

The moment the two people and one wolf stepped into the valley, the mist surged, and something seemed to be disturbed deep in the white mist...

Chapter 90 Human-Faced Owl

The mist-shrouded Youtian Valley is the terrifying legend of the secluded city outside the mountain. No strangers are allowed to enter.

But for the Yunmen monks, the ghostly shadow in the mist is not scary.

Because although Youtian Valley is inaccessible, there are not a few cultivators who pass by to explore. Monks have long explored the existence of ghosts in the valley.

Although it is extremely scary for ordinary people, if you have the cultivation level, you don't need to be too afraid.

Although Huo Feng has lost all his cultivation, with the Wolf God by his side, he has the courage to set foot here.

However, although he was prepared in his heart, the moment he actually stepped into Youtian Valley, he felt the cold evil spirit in the air that suddenly became several times stronger. Huo Feng couldn't help but shudder and his face turned slightly pale.

It is early summer now and the weather is hot. But the Youtian Valley shrouded in white mist was bone-chilling, just like the middle of winter. Huo Feng had goosebumps all over his body and felt extremely uncomfortable.

Subconsciously, he quietly leaned in the direction of the Wolf God, fearing that something terrifying would burst out of the mist.

Lu Heng, on the other hand, followed Huo Feng and frowned at Youtian Valley in front of him.

In the valley shrouded in white mist, lush green grass is everywhere, and white flowers bloom in the grass. It looks peaceful and peaceful.

If it weren't for the strange scene of heavy fog, the scenery of this valley could be called a paradise.

It's just that the further you go in, the colder air becomes stronger and the temperature becomes lower and lower.

Huo Feng had already loosened the reins of the barge horse. As he walked, he rubbed his arms and said, "It's so cold..."

In the mist in front of them, there were vaguely terrifying figures wandering one after another.

They were all figures with extremely miserable death conditions, like ghosts, all with ferocious faces, floating in the mist.

But wherever Lu Heng went, these ghostly figures that were about to swarm up at the sight of a living person all retreated in panic, as if they felt the thunderous aura that lingered around Lu Heng.

Huo Feng was not surprised when he saw this scene.

Ordinary monks entering the Youtian Valley do not need to be afraid of the shadows of these ghosts, but they just rely on their cultivation to quickly travel through the valley to avoid the entanglement of these ghosts.

This was not only the first time Lu Heng had seen the sight of ghosts retreating wherever he went, it was also the first time he had heard of it.

But the wolf god can even control the power of thunder, and evil spirits retreat wherever he goes. Isn't this natural?

After seeing those ghostly figures in the mist all hurriedly running away, Huo Feng finally let go of his worries and began to think about how to speak when he saw the Witch Girl next.

Lu Heng, on the other hand, observed the ghostly figures in the mist and frowned slightly.

There is no underworld in this world, and the soul will dissipate directly after death. Only one soul can remain in the world.

——That is the evil spirit that harbors resentment and turns into a vicious ghost.

After entering Youtian Valley, Lu Heng could tell at a glance that these ghosts wandering in the fog were not evil spirits. And judging from the way he was dressed, he might be the dead resident of Youzhi City not far away.

The souls of these residents linger after death, wandering and entrenching themselves in the mountains, but they do not have the evil spirit of resentful souls and ghosts... Could it be related to the fog in Youtian Valley?

This mist is filled with cold and evil energy that is not found in the outside world. Is it this evil force that maintains the existence of these souls? Keep them from dissipating?

So what is the source of this evil force?

Lu Heng followed Huo Feng, feeling the evil spirit that became stronger the further he went in, and finally saw the source of it all.

A cold lake.

At the end of the Youtian Valley, there is a pool of cold and dim lake water.

Above the lake is the only area in Youtian Valley where there is no fog. Lu Heng and the others can clearly see the small island in the lake and the thatched cottage on the island.

It can be seen that the thatched cottage was built not long ago, and the grass stems covering the roof even have some greenery.

In the open space in front of the thatched cottage, there was a medicine furnace emitting a faint red light. The steam seemed to be refining some kind of secret medicine.

Huo Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene.

He hurriedly walked to the lake, bowed to the thatched cottage in the lake, and said loudly, "I am at Huo Feng of Yunmen. I will bring the fat remains of exotic birds to pay homage to the Witch Lady. I beg the Witch Lady to have mercy."

Huo Feng's voice spread far away in the fog.

However, there was no response before the empty thatched cottage.

Huo Feng was a little confused and worried. Could it be that my gift couldn't impress the witch girl?

But I heard the Wolf God next to me say, "There is no one in this thatched cottage, the witch girl is not here."

"Ah?" Huo Feng raised his head in astonishment and looked at the thatched cottage in the lake.

But he saw a huge strange bird flying out of the thatched cottage, he chuckled and said, "Yes, the witch girl is not here. The old lady went out to play, and I am the only one here... Young man from Yunmen, you take me with you The fat relic bird came to your door to ask the witch to help you cure your illness?"

"It's a pity that that old woman has a weird temper, and she won't be able to cure you even here. Fortunately, I'm kind enough to bring you the fat bird over here for me to see. Maybe I can cure you."

The strange bird's laughter was high-pitched and hoarse, which made people feel unhappy.

Moreover, his body shape is even more weird.

It's not that big, but it's about the size of an ordinary ape. A pair of gray-black wings spread out, revealing an ape-like body covered with down, but its feet were sharp raptor claws, and above it was a head like a living person.

It's just that the face is so gloomy and terrifying that one look at it can make one's heart tremble, knowing that this is definitely not a kind person.

This strange bird is...

"Human-faced owl?!" Huo Feng was startled and subconsciously took half a step back.

On the roof of the thatched cottage in the lake, the weird and terrifying strange bird laughed loudly, and sneered in a hoarse voice, "You are as timid as a mouse, are all Yunmen such cowards as you? Don't worry, I have not been cannibalistic for many years. Now, you can take your companions and wade through the water, and I guarantee that your lives will not be harmed."

"But I want to remind you first, the water of this quiet spring corrodes the bones and ecstasy, and any flesh and blood body that touches it will die. When you wade over, don't touch it."

Amid the sharp laughter of the strange bird, the white wolf by the lake shook his head and said with a smile, "It's just that you don't touch the water. What's the difficulty?"

As he spoke, he took a step forward and stepped into the dark yellow and turbid lake water.

The invisible power of thunder spread under Lu Heng's feet, separating the cold, bone-eroding spring water from his physical body.

He smiled and said, "Brother Huo, Xiao Ai, just do whatever I want."

The little girl with silver hair and animal ears followed directly, walking with Lu Heng.

Although Huo Feng was frightened, when he saw that the Wolf God had stepped into the lake without incident, he followed him with his barge horse.

Two people, a wolf, and a barge horse walked directly from the dark yellow and turbid lake. The cold and bone-eroding lake water could not hurt them at all.

When the human-faced owl on the thatched hut saw this scene, it was so frightened that it screamed strangely and flew up and down.

"Thunder! Thunder!"

"You monster! You can control the thunder... Don't come over! Don't come over!"
