The Monk

Chapter 280 Fishman

Afraid of taking advantage of the fishmen's attack, Zhang retreated with his sword and planned to escape. As soon as he turned around, there was a loud bang in front of him. The huge tree thrown by the strong man hit a tree in the forest, startling him and causing him to miss the opportunity to escape. During his delay, the fish man punched him again behind him. Zhang Ai quickly hid behind the knife. Fortunately, the hard iron knife was big and wide enough, and the big man's fist could not turn, allowing him to avoid the attack.

The big fish man was a reckless man, and he wanted to test whether his fist was stronger or the opponent's black sword was stronger. He kept banging the hard iron sword, and for the first time, Zhang felt that it was quite good to refine a sword. If there is a chance, I should make a bigger one.

Hundreds of punches were struck in the blink of an eye, and Zhang was afraid that his hands would hurt from the shock, but except for the fact that his fists were red, Zhang's face was as expressionless as if nothing happened. Zhang Awei asked him with a grimace, "Doesn't it hurt?"

After a lot of twists and turns, the fish-man man finally understood that the knife was stronger than his fist. After withdrawing his fist, his figure floated behind Zhang Awei and reached out to grab Zhang Awei. Zhang Ai was always on guard, and ducked around to the other side of the hard iron knife. The big man's attack was not over, but he had lost his target, so he raised his hand to grab the handle of the giant knife.

Want to grab the knife? no way! With a thought, Zhang Ke put the giant knife into his body, moved his body back, and shot out far away like lightning.

The black knife disappeared out of thin air, making the big man stunned. Did he miss again? He couldn't believe it and chased Zhang Afraid with a low roar.

Zhang Ai's best skill is escaping to save his life. He is quick and skillful in lightening spells. In an instant, he made several circles in the forest and leaned behind a big tree, and then used earth magic to hide in the ground. The big fishman man followed him, but in the blink of an eye, Zhang Awei was gone and lost his pursuit. The big man circled the forest a few more times, but no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find any trace of Zhang Awei. He was so angry that he screamed. , he slapped his hands randomly on the passing tree trunks to vent his anger, and it took him a while to leave unwillingly.

Zhang was afraid of hiding underground and did not dare to move around. He held his breath and meditated. After a day, he surfaced and continued to move forward to find a passage. Thinking about the terrifying strength of the fishmen, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. Without water or ice crystals to help, he didn't know how to deal with them.

I just took two steps and saw the huge piece of wood thrown by the fishman on the ground. He tapped it with his hands and made a crisp sound like gold and iron. He put it into the storage bag. This thing is very strong and can break the ice wall formed by ice crystals if hit hard. , it is considered a treasure no matter how you say it, I found a few saplings and collected a few branches and leaves together, and then moved on.

Zhang Wen followed the route mentioned by the old man and was cautious all the way, but he never saw another fishman. It seemed that the only one who ambushed him outside the Bone Valley was the big fishman just now. As I walked farther, I slowly realized that something was wrong. The trees became denser and denser, and I couldn't see the path at all. I couldn't help but wonder if I was going in the wrong direction.

I walked like this for a day, walking around a row of trees in front of me, and I was frozen in place as soon as I took a step forward. Behind the tree is a small clearing. There is a high mountain behind the clearing. In the clearing, a row of stone houses are built against the mountain. The wooden door of the first one is tightly closed. The other stone houses only have high windows and no doors.

Zhang Ai hid behind a tree and looked towards the stone house. It was tall, simple and simple. The old man said there were medicinal herbs here, so he wanted to go in and have a look. To be cautious, I hid behind a tree for most of the day, but I didn't see a single person. The wooden door of the stone house at the head is always closed and has never been opened. After thinking for a while, he summoned the hard iron sword and added the Five Elements Armor, and planned to explore the stone house in person.

Walking through the open space like a cat, he quietly stood in front of the wooden door and was cautious. After confirming that there was no one around him and there was no sound, he gently pushed the wooden door and heard a creaking sound. The wooden door opened wide, revealing the dark space inside.

The sound from the wooden door startled Zhang Wei. As a thief in a silent world, any movement would be enough to scare him to death. However, such a sudden movement did not disturb anyone. Zhang Wei stood at the door for a while before carefully entering. Room.

The stone house was a little dark, without any furnishings, and there was only one path leading to the left. After careful inspection, there were no formations, ambushes, or traps. The passage on the left was a very ordinary gravel road, which made some squeaking sounds when you stepped on it. Zhang was afraid to use his light body technique and at the same time supported the wall with his hands to walk inside without making any noise.

The passage is ten meters long. When you turn a corner in the darkness, you will see a bright light. Outside the passage is a very large medicinal garden. The sun shines brightly, the wind is clear and the clouds are clear. There are all kinds of Ganoderma lucidum, Cordyceps, ginseng, and it is tens of thousands of years old. Even short ones can be hundreds of years. After taking a quick look, there was nothing that particularly attracted him, and there was no way out. Zhang was afraid of leaving disappointed.

Not long after I walked back to the wooden door, I was about to go out when I suddenly felt a palpitation in my heart. I pressed against the wall and looked outside, but found nothing unusual. I quickly escaped from the stone house and ran into the woods. Not far away, I saw hundreds of fish-headed monsters standing in a dark mass. A crowd of people rushed towards the stone house, and Zhang was so angry that he cursed in his heart that the dead old fish man was not honest at all. He promised you not to take the bones, but you still caused trouble for me again and again, and you will not let people live in peace even if they die. At the same time, he secretly said that he was lucky that he was not greedy for picking herbs, otherwise he would have been stuck in the medicine garden waiting to die.

The body retreated and repeated its old trick, going around behind a tree and burrowing into the soil to hide. Zhang was probably angry and aggrieved. He entered the Bone Forest and turned into a mouse. He burrowed around in the ground all day long. The depression in his heart was simply indescribable. .

Originally, I insisted on walking in the forest to find a way out, but now it seems that saving my life is more important, so I marched madly underground, regardless of the direction or distance, and ran to a place I didn't know in one breath, even though it was still the same trees and jungle. , but it exudes serenity and tranquility, without the tense and solemn feeling of the previous days. Return to the ground and take a deep breath. It's safe for now.

After resting for a while, he started again. He didn't know the road anyway, so he just walked around randomly. Unexpectedly, he found a small path after wandering around. Walking along the road, the path widened not far away; as we walked further, the trees began to decrease, until at the end of the road, a piece of grassland appeared in front of Zhang Ain.

Compared with the outside world, the grassland is not too big, but it is definitely unique among the Skeleton Forest, and it feels a bit boundless. There are some stone houses built here and there on the grassland, and fishmen walk back and forth from time to time. I think this is their gathering place for survival.

Zhang was afraid to climb up the tree and take a peek, wondering where the secret room was and where the exit route was.

There are at least tens of thousands of fish people living on the grassland. The stone houses that the fish people live in are all the same shape and size. From Zhang Ao's perspective, they are very harmonious. There is no market in such a prairie, so whoever needs anything can go elsewhere. Go get it, the mutual relationship is extremely harmonious. Another discovery was that after he had been in the Bone Forest for so many days, he finally saw a fish-woman.

To be honest, apart from their appearance, Zhang was afraid that he was a little envious of the living conditions of the fish people, without much desire, carefree and free.
