The era of high martial arts

The monsters began to disperse to both sides, leaving a road dozens of meters wide in the middle.

The mountain rat rushed across the middle of the road without fear of death, and then fell off the cliff.

Those monsters that were cornered and Li Changan also threw the killed monsters directly into the bottom of the cliff. For a while, the monsters and people who were cornered showed amazing tacit understanding.

The people and the monsters who regained their hope of survival broke out with astonishing fighting power. In less than half an hour, tens of thousands of monsters jumped from the passage and killed mountain rats.

Compared to the beast tide, these hundreds of thousands of mountain rats were still a drop in the bucket. The beast tide showed no sign of abating and rushed over tirelessly.

"Start retreating." Li Changan shouted.

It didn’t matter whether those monsters could understand it or not, anyway, he had done his utmost to be benevolent and righteous.

Li Changan took Xiaoran and strode to the edge of the cliff.

"Are you ready?" Li Changan glanced at Xiaoran beside him.

"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" Xiaoran said mischievously with a wink.

"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything." Li Changan quickly shut up.

Xiaoran snorted coldly, then hugged Li Changan's waist, and the two of them jumped down from the top of the mountain.

Ever since she entered adolescence, Xiaoran has always liked watching romantic dramas. The kind of romance in which the hero jumps off the cliff with his beloved in his arms made Xiao Ran burst into tears.

Once upon a time, she also envied this kind of love, and today Xiaoran finally experienced it.

Romantic dramas like that are basically computer-generated, but she experienced the real thing of jumping off a cliff.

Jumping down from the top of the cliff, the wind blew my eyes open, my ears were filled with the whistling of the wind, and I couldn't hear anything else.

…

I don't know how long it had been falling, but suddenly there was a "pop" and the sound of falling into the water.

It turns out that there is a big lake below. If I had known this, I wouldn't have had to fight on the top of the mountain for so long.

The lake is hundreds of miles in diameter, and its surface is sparkling. Not far away, there are waterbirds soaring at low altitude over the lake, sometimes diving into the water to hunt fish, and sometimes soaring into the sky.

Mountain rats kept falling from the sky and fell into the lake within Li Changan's area.

Those monsters that were still alive also escaped and fell into the water together.

Li Changan and Xiaoran didn't care about those monsters. He himself wasn't very good at water, so he relied on Xiaoran to hold him up and floated on the water.

At this moment, Xiaoran dragged Li Changan to swim to the lake.

When they got ashore, both of them were already soaked to the skin.

It's almost midsummer now, and the weather is hot, so there's no need to light a fire to dry the clothes. They'll probably dry out in the sun.

Only then did Li Changan notice the appearance around the lake. A trail actually appeared here!

The presence of trails means that there are people living here, otherwise the surrounding area should be overrun with weeds.

Thinking of this, Li Changan discovered many flaws.

Li Changan didn't think much about it when he was in the water just now because he wasn't familiar with the water. But now that he thinks about it carefully, something is wrong.

When he was forced to the top of the cliff by the mountain rats, although Li Changan had never been to the top of the cliff to observe before, the reason why those monsters stayed on the top of the mountain was probably because they saw that there should be mud below, otherwise they would definitely jump down.

When Li Changan finally jumped down, although he didn't observe too much at the bottom of the cliff, he probably took a glance at it at the end. Although I am not sure whether the bottom of the cliff is muddy, it is definitely not a lake.

When I was in high school, I also studied Chinese geography and world maps. There should not be such a big lake in this area. What's more, water sources are scarce in the Loess Plateau, so it is absolutely impossible for lakes to appear in such a large area.

Is it an illusion array above?

In an instant, Li Changan's face turned pale.

After resting for a while, Li Changan and Xiaoran set foot on the trail, ready to find out.

The winding path leads all the way along the lake.

Li Changan and Xiaoran were not in a hurry. They walked leisurely by the lake and enjoyed the natural scenery by the lake.

This kind of scenery is indeed something I have never seen in the city.

Most of the lakes with a diameter of hundreds of miles are outside the city. The land in the city is scarce, so it is impossible for such a large lake to appear. Outside the city, monsters and beasts are entrenched, which is extremely dangerous.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Li Changan and Xiaoran arrived at a pavilion.

This pavilion is an all-wood structure. It has obviously experienced wind and rain, and it has a historical connotation.

Li Changan and Xiaoran were sitting in the pavilion to rest, looking at the sparkling lake and the graceful water birds. Except for the mountain rats that kept falling from the sky, Li Changan felt that the scenery here was not bad.

"Brother Chang'an, do you see anyone there?" Xiaoran suddenly shouted.

"Is there anyone there?" Li Changan looked in the direction Xiaoran pointed.

There does seem to be someone about ten kilometers away, but the distance is a bit far away, and it looks like a larger black spot. Li Changan took a few more glances and concluded that the black spot was undoubtedly a person.

From such a long distance, Li Changan couldn't tell whether he was male, female, old or young, nor could he clearly see his appearance.

But looking at his movements, it looks like he is fishing.

Is there someone here? Li Changan was surprised.

Not long after, the people by the lake stood up as if they had finished fishing, and slowly walked towards the pavilion.

His speed is very slow, almost on par with ordinary people.

I have been walking for nearly an hour and have only covered about half the distance.

After several dozen minutes, Li Changan could almost see his general appearance.

Wearing a raincoat, he holds a fish basket in his right hand and a fishing rod in his left hand. He wears a hat made of bamboo and has a slightly hunched back.

He walked over slowly, like the hermit mentioned in ancient Chinese literature.

It took the man almost two hours to walk from the fishing place. Li Changan and Xiaoran did not step forward to ask, but sat in the pavilion and waited quietly.

Ordinary people can't survive in the wild. If he is a warrior, it can only be said that this person has very good acting skills. He was so brilliant that even Li Changan thought he was an ordinary person.

Not long after, the man finally walked into the pavilion. He did not put down what he was holding, but raised his head and said, "In the morning, I heard the magpies chirping on the branches. I didn't expect that in the evening, guests would come. "

Li Changan also saw his appearance clearly from this, with gray hair on his temples and a half-inch white beard on his chin.

The old man was about sixty years old, and his voice had some vicissitudes of life.

"Old man, you're polite. I'm sorry for the trouble when I first come to your place. I hope you can understand me." Li Changan returned the greeting with his hand in hand.

"Hahaha, it's been many years. This is the first time someone has come here. Don't disturb me. Don't disturb me. You two will go and sit in the humble house first." The old man laughed, and his words were very kind.

It's a blessing, not a curse, but it's a curse that cannot be avoided. Li Changan didn't think much, and followed the old man out of the pavilion with Xiaoran.

After walking for about half an hour, several thatched huts appeared in front of Li Changan.

These thatched cottages are all handmade. It is really rare to see these things in Lingyuan era.
