Chapter 43 Toad Mountain

8days ago Xuanhuan Novels 7
After Zhang Xiaofan slept with Su Yingying, he left Yangzhou City and planned to take a walk in Suzhou.

As for Xiao Hui, Zhang Xiaofan had long thought it was inconvenient to stay on his shoulders, so he had already let him go to the foreign land. Anyway, it was suitable for the monkey life like Xiao Hui.

When you leave Yangzhou City, the fewer people go southeastern. This is no longer a lively place for merchants to travel, and the mountain roads are getting rugged.

After walking like this, he ran like this for a day. For some reason, the sky was dark. Zhang Xiaofan was worried that a storm would come, so he planned to find a place to settle down temporarily and inquire.

After walking for more than half a day, I finally saw a grass pavilion ahead, with some people resting inside.

Zhang Xiaofan walked into the pavilion, where there was a young hunter and a scholar, each with nothing to say.Zhang Xiaofan asked: Two, will there be a storm recently?Why is the weather so weird?

The hunter said: Brother, you came from another place. Don’t you know that the sky here is like this?

Zhang Xiaofan said: What do you say?

The hunter pointed to the mountain ahead and said: Have you seen it?

Zhang Xiaofan looked around and was startled. The distant mountains ahead were lush and green, but the sky was dark, as if there was a black air spiraling away.

Why is it dark there?

Hunter said: Experts say that is evil spirit!

Demonic energy?Zhang Xiaofan said strangely.

The scholar interrupted shyly: Do you want to pass this mountain too?I heard from people... a toad spirit appeared on this mountain. It looked as big as a cow. It specialized in eating past people and animals. Several people died yesterday.

The hunter smiled and said: So you can speak. After sitting for a long time, you don’t fart at all. I thought you were mute.The scholar blushed and said: No, no, but I have never known each other and dare not disturb each other.

Zhang Xiaofan said: What's the point of being afraid of toads?

The scholar said: Brother Tai must be a martial arts practitioner, right?

Zhang Xiaofan nodded.

The scholar said: I am willing to bid 2,000 yuan for my brother and I will be my bodyguard and escort me through this mountain road. I wonder what my brother and I want to do?

Zhang Xiaofan said: If you follow the way, it’s nothing to take care of each other, why bother to talk about money?If it is not going well, even if I have more money, I can’t help it. It depends on whether we have a fate?

The scholar said: Brother Tai said it very well, but... I really have to go to Suzhou, because... the person I loved was there, and I had to see him, but because the demon beast blocked the way, I couldn't get the way...

When Zhang Xiaofan heard this, he smiled and said: That's really a fate. I'm going to Suzhou too, so you can go with me, right?

The scholar said: Thank you, brother, thank you!

Zhang Xiaofan asked the hunter: What's weird about that mountain?How could it be pitch black?

Hunter said: Didn’t you say that there is a toad spirit that causes trouble?The wild boars and wild deer in the mountain suddenly disappeared without a trace, but groups of toads crawled around all over the mountains.

Zhang Xiaofan couldn't help but frown.

The hunter said: To go to Suzhou, you have to pass through Toad Mountain, but I advise you not to go. The toad spirits on this mountain can eat people, so don’t bet on this.

Zhang Xiaofan sneered: No matter how powerful a monster is, I have killed it, who is afraid of this little toad!Then he said to the scholar: If you want to leave, come with it!

The scholar was a little hesitant and agreed, so he followed Zhang Xiaofan and walked out of the pavilion.

At this time, Zhang Xiaofan had to enjoy the scenery along the way, and followed the scholar, so he did not fly with his sword. The two of them walked forward. It seemed that the mountain road was as rugged and winding as Zhang Xiaofan and the scholar walked, the darker the sky became. Although it was still daytime, it was gloomy and there was no sound.

Even if you don’t know that there are monsters in advance, you can feel that something is wrong.

Zhang Xiaofan worked every step, and the scholar behind him didn't even dare to breathe, and followed closely behind.

Zhang Xiaofan suddenly felt a strong wind rushing to his face!I saw a small black dot in the gloomy sky ahead. The black dots quickly approached, and in a blink of an eye it was already a human figure, falling to them at a faster speed.

As a result, a huge toad suddenly appeared on the road and rushed towards Zhang Xiaofan and the scholar, but was easily killed by Zhang Xiaofan.

Zhang Xiaofan killed the scholar, took a few more steps, and when he looked back, the scholar did not follow him, he was hesitant and pondering, obviously scared by the toad just now.

Zhang Xiaofan said: What's wrong with you?

The scholar said: This hero, I think... well... that...

Zhang Xiaofan was the most impatient with such scholars and asked: Are you leaving or not?If you are afraid, don’t leave Suzhou, don’t delay the girl!

The scholar bowed and said: The hero said yes, very yes, the late child had a single lineage in his family, although it was passed down through the family line.Marrying a wife and having children is for great filial piety, but if an accident occurs, my family will be completely destroyed. This is the real unfilial piety. If you are born late, it is better to go back...

Zhang Xiaofan said slowly: It’s not that I have never seen monsters, what’s there to be afraid of?Don't you believe I can beat monsters?

The scholar said: How can human power defeat monsters?The hero... or... well... say goodbye!

As soon as he finished speaking, he ran back.Zhang Xiaofan sighed and said: It’s really hard to do it. I’ve walked such a long way.

Then, Zhang Xiaofan continued to walk.After walking for a while, a rapid flow ahead cut off the road ahead. The rapid flow washed down from the mountains in front, with only a broken bridge spanning the shore.

Zhang Xiaofan was about to wade in the water when he saw a woman sitting on the path next to him. The woman's long hair drooped down her shoulders, covering half of her face, and sat on the stone, silently.

Her thin melon-shaped face, delicate eyes and nose are all exquisite and moving, with a bit of a delicate and pity.

Zhang Xiaofan frowned and stepped forward and said: Girl, why are you here?

The woman stood up without saying a word, turned around and ran into the cave behind her.Zhang Xiaofan hurriedly wanted to catch up and said: Hello!Girl, where are you going?

The woman stopped, turned around and said coldly: This is my home.

You...your home?

Zhang Xiaofan couldn't help but frown even more.

You are injured and need to find someone to treat...

The woman's voice was even colder: Don't lean over, men who get close to me will die!

After saying that, his body was completely immersed in the darkness of the cave.

Zhang Xiaofan frowned even more, then walked into the cave. It was not until the end that he saw the woman. There was almost nothing in the cave, the ground was extremely wet, and it didn't look like a place where people live.

The woman said angrily: You guys are rude to break into my house without authorization?

Zhang Xiaofan smiled and said: I’m sorry, how do you go to Suzhou through Toad Mountain?

The woman said in a cold voice: There is no road, I have demolished the plank road to the north of this valley!In a few days, I will seal up the mountain road to the south.

Why?Zhang Xiaofan asked.

The woman said: No more boring men break in.

Zhang Xiaofan said: Girl, this is the only way to get around. Even if this valley belongs to you, you can't do this...

The woman said calmly: You can’t control it, please go out!

Zhang Xiaofan smiled and said: OK, okay, I'm rude.I'm leaving!As he said that, he turned around and left.

Zhang Xiaofan took dozens of steps and suddenly turned back. He had never thought about leaving. He was turning back now to see where this woman came from.
