Chapter 7 Mysterious Woman

Zuo Hou looked at the thin figure in front of him, his heart full of confusion and confusion, but he still followed him firmly.

The two of them were in deep danger at the moment. If it were him, he would definitely take this opportunity to leave as soon as possible. Wouldn't it be playing into the enemy's plan to go back to the canyon?

Zuo Feng, who was moving forward quickly, glanced at Zuo Hou, who was catching up quickly with his peripheral vision, and said with a smile.

"We are only temporarily safe. After the enemies from the three directions find that they can't find any trace of me, I'm afraid they will have two choices. One is to expand the search area, and the other is to come back and search carefully again."

Seeing Zuo Hou's thoughtful expression, Zuo Feng continued: "No matter what they choose, there will be a lot of risk in leaving here now."

"But, didn't you just judge that there would be their arrangements in the valley? Going back to the valley like this would be the same as throwing yourself into a trap."

Zuo Feng showed a confident smile and said, "Have I ever said that we are going to enter through the mouth of the valley?"

More than an hour later, on the mountain wall in the north of the canyon.

"Huh, hurry up, pull me up, I can't do it anymore."

Zuo Hou's body, almost soaked in sweat, clung to the mountain wall. His thin palms stretched out tremblingly, waving them in the air while shouting feebly.

Zuo Feng smiled helplessly, grabbed his outstretched thin palm, and lifted him up with a little force.

The location where the two of them were at this time was on top of a big tree growing diagonally inside the mountain wall.

Arriving at the big tree that no one could hug, Zuo Hou lay down on his back, panting heavily. From the corner of his eye, he saw Zuo Feng with a smile on his face and said with a slight anger.

"Even if we don't throw ourselves into a trap, we don't have to torture ourselves like this. Your great idea almost killed me. You don't know how many times I almost fell off this hundred-foot-high mountain wall. I am determined not to go there again." Go up."

Zuo Feng nodded and said: "Then you wait for me here. If I don't come back before dawn, you will find a way to leave here alone."

Zuo Hou looked at Zuo Feng with a puzzled face and said: "From your tone, it seems that there is a possibility of not coming back. In this case, why do you have to risk going to the top of the mountain? I find that I can't understand your thoughts more and more. ”

Zuo Feng planned to take him to the top of the mountain. He also wanted to temporarily escape from danger. Zuo Feng has always been worried about this conspiracy against him. He had a hunch that in this conspiracy, the person who attacked him a year ago was also involved.

So he planned to go around the mouth of the valley from the top of the mountain, and then quietly go down to the inside of the canyon to find out. The layout and situation at the bottom of the valley were completely unclear. It was only a few people who took Zuo Hou to take risks, so he did not want Zuo Hou to accompany him into the valley.

Zuo Hou proposed not to go to the top of the mountain, which was exactly what Zuo Feng wanted. The enemy's target is himself. If he is in danger in the valley, the possibility of Zuo Hou leaving safely will be very high.

Zuo Feng turned around, waved his hand in the same cool and unrestrained manner, and started climbing towards the top of the mountain again.

Dongshan is actually the collective name for dozens of nearby hills, but the tallest among them are the mountains on both sides of the canyon. From a distance, the mountain, more than a hundred feet high, reaches straight into the clouds, forming a canyon in the middle as if someone had split it open with a sharp weapon.

Zuo Feng chose this high mountain in the north. The reason he chose this mountain was because there was such a big tree in the middle of the mountain that could accommodate a foothold. The further you go past the middle section, the steeper the climb becomes. With Zuo Feng's level 4 cultivation level, it was extremely difficult to climb, and he almost fell to the bottom of the mountain several times when he was in danger.

About three hours later, Zuo Feng finally reached the top of the mountain. Zuo Feng let his body cling to the mountain wall. If the strong wind blew around him, his body would be wiped out. Alternately hold the protruding stone on the mountain wall with one hand, shaking your wrist slightly, and rest for the last time.

After taking a few breaths, he raised his head again and looked towards the top of the mountain, which was less than ten feet high. His eyes were full of determination and persistence.

When a thin and white hand grasped the rock on the top of the mountain, the sky was already dark, and it was still a little short of reaching the top of the mountain.

Suddenly, a stone on which Zuo Feng's toes were stepping loosened, and then the stone fell, and his whole body sank suddenly.

Zuo Feng could no longer squeeze out any strength from his body, and could only hold on with his right hand that reached the top of the mountain. Zuo Feng's thin body kept flying with the strong wind on the top of the mountain, like leaves blown off by the autumn wind at any time.

Zuo Feng felt the emptiness in the air sea, and the shadow of death hung over his heart, but he still refused to give up. After enduring so much pain and torture, how could he die here so cowardly?

The drop-shaped bulge on his chest that had been dormant for a long time seemed to be inspired by his will to survive, and suddenly emitted a white halo. If this light wasn't in his clothes, the bandits at the foot of the mountain would have noticed it immediately. As the halo flickered, Zuo Feng's dry sea of ​​​​qi suddenly emerged with a ball of spiritual energy carrying a trace of electricity.

The next moment, two silvery-white electric lights burst out from Zuo Feng's eyes, and the full spiritual energy immediately poured into his right arm. The next moment, Zuo Feng's body had jumped up high, even more than two feet higher than the top of the mountain.

Before the surprise on his face faded, it was replaced by panic. The huge wind pressure blew Zuo Feng, who was in mid-air, off course.

At this time, Zuo Feng's calm mind came into play, and he realized that his body was in danger of being blown away. He immediately hugged his body into a ball, so that the impact of the wind on his body was also minimized.

"Bang"

A dull sound sounded, and Zuo Feng's body fell heavily on the rock on the top of the mountain. He climbed up without caring about the pain in his body. He looked at the abyss of a hundred feet a few feet away with lingering fear. Zuo Feng felt a kind of joy as if he had lived two lives.

A huge gust of wind blew Zuo Feng, and he felt cold all over. It was not until this moment that he realized that his clothes were soaked with sweat.

Regardless of the uncomfortable feeling of sweat all over his body, he sat cross-legged like this. It was crucial to recover his spiritual energy as soon as possible. After an incense stick, Zuo Feng took a long breath and slowly stood up, and then he paid attention to the surrounding environment.

The area of ​​the top of the mountain is not small, about ten feet long and six or seven feet wide, with a sparse forest growing in the center.

When Zuo Feng saw the forest, he was delighted, and then he took out the dagger he carried with him and walked over. He carefully scraped off a piece of bark and put it on his shoulder. He didn't want to take the risk of climbing down to the bottom of the valley again. He was going to use the bark to make ropes.

As he continued to enter the woods, he found that there seemed to be something in the forest, which made him feel a little depressed.

Zuo Feng hesitated for a moment, and then strode towards the woods. Because this kind of depression seemed to have no hostility, and the enemy would never ambush him on the top of this hundred-foot-high mountain.

Suddenly, Zuo Feng's eyes condensed slightly, and a vague figure appeared in front of him in the sparse forest.

The figure was very strange, as if it appeared suddenly. He couldn't tell what the figure felt to him, as if there was nothing there, but he really saw a figure in his eyes, and this figure seemed to disappear with the wind at any time.

"Could this depression come from this woman? Her cultivation is too terrifying."

Zuo Feng thought with a solemn face, and approached the figure vigilantly. When the distance was closer, he could see the figure clearly.

Judging from her figure, it should be a woman without a doubt. The long black cloak wrapped her head and body, and with a long scarf around her face, only her closed eyes could be seen.

Zuo Feng could tell from her eyes that this was a young woman. It was hard to imagine that the pressure that made Zuo Feng feel a little breathless came from this young woman who looked only a few years older than him.

The woman seemed to be practicing some kind of martial arts, which made the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth constantly gather here. The pressure Zuo Feng felt was caused by this.

After observing for a while, Zuo Feng knew that he could not interfere with the other party's practice, so he stood far away and did not move forward.

Suddenly, a stream of cold air emanated from the woman's surroundings. From the skin of her exposed eyes, it could be clearly seen that the woman's skin color was gradually turning pale, and her body was shaking as if she was afraid of the cold.

Zuo Feng was surprised to find that the temperature around him had become as cold as winter at this moment, and the changes in the woman seemed to have some problems with her practice.

Zuo Feng was very conflicted. He hesitated whether to step forward to help. It was difficult to distinguish between the two of them as enemies and friends. If he was misunderstood by the other party, judging from the momentum just now, it would be a matter of raising his hand to kill him.

But even if he wanted to help, with his current cultivation, he could not play any role at all.

After thinking for a while, Zuo Feng seemed to have thought of something and turned to rush into the dense forest.

Not long after, Zuo Feng came back with a bunch of branches and lit a bonfire not far from the woman. As the flames gradually grew bigger, the temperature around them also rose slightly. Zuo Feng stepped back a few steps and sat down quietly.

He didn't say a word from beginning to end. He knew that it was best not to be disturbed when practicing. Just like the last time he broke through and was disturbed by Teng Fang, he suffered a serious internal injury. The woman in front of him had an unfathomable cultivation level and her skills were even more bizarre. If she was disturbed, she would probably be hurt more seriously.

Zuo Feng originally planned to wait for the woman to finish her skills before leaving, but after waiting for half an hour, the woman was still motionless like a stone sculpture. Looking at the sky, if he waited any longer, the plan to explore the valley tonight would be ruined.

With a helpless sigh, Zuo Feng was ready to get up and leave. Just when he got up and looked at the woman for the last time, he found that the woman seemed to have changed a little. After careful observation, he was shocked to find that the woman seemed to have aged a little compared to when he first saw her.

Although only a little skin around the eyes could be seen, the originally smooth and fair skin now looked somewhat dull and yellowish.

The air around seemed to suddenly stop, and even the strong wind on the top of the mountain stopped at this moment. The surrounding spiritual energy was surging, and the center of the surging was the mysterious woman.

‘What kind of skill is this, which has such a domineering power. ’

Zuo Feng stared at the woman in front of him with a shocked face, and he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. The surging spiritual energy made Zuo Feng involuntarily take a few steps back.

The mysterious woman slowly opened her eyes at this time. The moment Zuo Feng’s eyes met these eyes, a loud "boom" like thunder sounded in his mind, and his whole body froze in place.
