Chapter 54 The Weird Mountain and Forest Disaster

After hesitating for a moment, Pei Wende saw that it was still early, so he rushed towards the most contrary direction in his perception with a certain curiosity.

Pei Wende does not deny his exuberant curiosity, just like people who know him like to call him Pei Curious and Pei Bold.

But this time, besides curiosity, Pei Wende was more worried.

Worried about this unprecedented depression and suffocation, what kind of crisis will it bring?
After all, Weishan is not a small place, and there are eight if not ten villages living in the surrounding area.

In case there is a disaster that affects the entire Weishan Mountain, it will save countless lives if it is discovered earlier.

[The most important thing is that the old monk and Hui Ji didn't seem to notice this? 】

[Or, this is actually not something worth paying attention to? 】

Pei Wende was so puzzled that he had no choice but to give up thinking, and began to sprint and run wildly in the mountains and forests at a speed that ordinary people could not catch up with. He soon left the mountain path and entered the depths of the dense forest.

This is the change that this month's practice has brought to Pei Wende.

Leaving aside supernatural powers and just talking about physical fitness, he who originally had a superhuman physique is now directly moving towards an inhuman level.

It is no exaggeration to make a comparison, even if the weight is more than twice that of Pei Wende, the tiger may not be much stronger than him in terms of physical fitness alone.

Because Pei Wende's body was trained with reference to the training methods of later generations, the difference in the ratio of muscle to fat has simply refreshed the world's cognition.

Not to mention the muscular devil-like flesh-and-blood man in the comics, at least maintain a body fat rate of about [-]% all year round. In his previous life, he was considered a professional fitness enthusiast.

The most important thing is that since he practiced the breathing method handed down by Zen Master Lingyou, the "quality" of Pei Wende's muscles has risen sharply, and it has simply surpassed the normal category of a creature like a "human".

Before that, Pei Wende couldn't do push-ups similar to "One Finger Zen".

Not to mention it was done, Pei Wende didn't even dare to think about similar things before.

According to Pei Wende's stereotype, that is a realm that only Bruce Lee, a martial arts master who pursues the limit of the human body, can achieve, and it has nothing to do with ordinary people like himself.

But now, if Pei Wende borrowed some skills, he could barely do that.

"Is it here?"

It didn't take long for Pei Wende to come to the most inconsistent place in his perception.

This seemed to be a forest that had been burned by flames, and Pei Wende could feel an astonishing heat from far away.

And it can also be seen from the scorched tree trunks and withered leaves around it that this place was burned by an unknown flame not long ago.

However, the problem lies here. Pei Wende looked around, but did not see any trace of sparks.

On the contrary, if it wasn't for the weird heat still entrenched in this jungle, Pei Wende might even mistakenly think that it was the trace left by the burning of the mountain fire.

Although this is not common in the mountains and forests, it is not uncommon.

After a thunderstorm, occasionally some trees that were unfortunately struck by lightning spontaneously ignite, causing small-scale wildfires.

"It's just, don't I remember that there are thunderstorms these days?"

Looking around thoughtfully, Pei Wende dared to guarantee with his own head that if there was a wildfire in Weishan, he would not be able to ignore it.

"Also, what's the matter with this weird heat?"

The closer he was to the center of the jungle, the more Pei Wende could feel a wave of heat radiating outward.

It's like exploring near the crater. The closer to the crater, the hotter it is, and the heat index is still rising exponentially.

"You obviously didn't see any open flames?"

After walking tens of steps cautiously forward, Pei Wende couldn't help frowning.

Because he found that the position he was in now seemed to be the center of the entire heat source.

Pei Wende could clearly feel that his body surface temperature had risen to nearly forty degrees at the moment.

This is a temperature that is almost impossible to reach even in the hottest summer, so it is almost impossible to come from the sun above your head.

"Is it this thing?"

After careful observation and feeling for a long time, Pei Wende finally noticed a big tree that was somewhat different from the surrounding environment.

It was a locust tree that is very common in the mountains and forests. Its trunk is thick enough for two or three people to hug it. It can be seen that its age is definitely over a hundred years old.

What's more strange is that this huge locust tree is now completely withered, and there is still a huge tree hole in the middle of the trunk.

Pei Wende took a visual inspection, and the tree hole alone was three to four meters high and more than one meter wide.

"It really is here."

After confirming that there was no danger nearby, Pei Wende slowly approached the huge tree hole in the center of the locust tree, and then found some black hairs in the center of the tree hole that looked like some kind of animal shed.

The heat that Pei Wende feels now is emitted from these black hairs.

"These hairs are actually a heat source?"

Stretching out his hands to stroke the hairs in the tree hole, Pei Wende's hands actually felt a little burned.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Pei Wende would have thought that what he was touching was candlelight, charcoal or something like that.

"What the hell happened here?"

Pei Wende is now almost certain that the abnormality and danger he feels must be related to this weird locust tree.

And judging from the traces and remnants of the scene, it is definitely the mountain spirits and monsters that caused all these phenomena, not the natural phenomena or ordinary animals that I know.

"I haven't seen monsters for more than ten years, but they appear so frequently during this period. Is this what the old monk said about 'not peaceful'?"

Thinking of the tigers and ghosts he encountered in Mulian Temple, Wen Wende felt that he was close to some kind of truth.

"In this way, this seems to be a battlefield?"

Looking around again, Pei Wende, who had preconceived ideas, noticed that apart from the traces of the trees being burned, those withered and yellow branches and leaves were obviously abnormal.

Compared with the withered yellow after being burned and smoked by the flames, the fallen leaves are more like encountering a chemical attack similar to herbicides.

"Did any monster fight here?"

Just as Pei Wende continued to think, he suddenly heard a low humming.

"Wow!"

Just like the wailing before death, that not so high-pitched voice was full of pleading.

"Wolf?"

Pei Wende immediately turned around vigilantly, and looked in the direction of the voice.

Immediately, he saw a lying animal under the root of a certain big tree.

It was the owner of the whining just now, a thin lone wolf with half of its body pressed down by a thick tree trunk.
