The Demon Concubine of God

Chapter 389 Time and Space Transformation

The horse ran happily with Shen Wen all the way and actually ran to the Slit Mountain area.

Just as they entered a small path leading up the mountain, the thick fog that covered the sky last night came down, and in an instant the entire mountain road disappeared. Shen Wen had no choice but to rein in the horse and let it stop, and he got off the horse.

The sound of Ji Ziyan's horse hooves was getting closer and closer behind, and there were also Ji Ziyan's anxious shouts. Shen Wen hurriedly turned back to call him and told Ji Ziyan his approximate direction. There was a conspicuous osmanthus tree on the road, and he would smell the fragrance of osmanthus when he got closer.

Fortunately, Ji Ziyan was not chasing far away. Listening to the direction described by Shen Wen, Ji Ziyan quickly found Shen Wen.

In the dark night, Ji Ziyan saw Shen Wen take out a small iron rod from his sleeve. There was a switch on the bottom of the rod. When he pressed the bottom, the rod lit up. Strangely, the brightness was comparable to the sun's strong light. It was really strange.

Ji Ziyin liked it very much. He pointed at the iron rod and asked, "What is this? How can it be so bright? It is a hundred times brighter than the candle."

Shen Wen held the powerful flashlight in his hand, and for a moment he didn't know how to tell Ji Ziyin. If it weren't for such a dangerous dark mountain road, Shen Wen would have been forced to show the things in the space to the ancients. He said perfunctorily: "It's not a treasure, it's just a lantern that can illuminate. It's called a flashlight. Let's not talk about this for now. Now that the black fog is coming, let's find a tree hole or a cave to hide."

Ji Ziyin was pulled back from his curiosity by his words. He looked at the dangerous environment around him, thought for a while and said, "I have led people to walk this narrow mountain road several times. I remember there are several century-old locust trees at the end of this path. Let's see if there are any big holes in those century-old trees. The collapsed tree pits can also be used to hide people. When the time comes, you hide in it and I will guard you. We'd better pray for good luck and don't be targeted by birds and beasts."

He said this pessimistically, but Shen Wen laughed at him and said, "You are wrong. At that time, you will still be in the tree hole and I will be outside. The birds and beasts will specifically catch you soldiers. Have you forgotten that this place is nicknamed General's Tomb? Their target is you, so I will be the one guarding you outside."

He smiled after he finished speaking, but Ji Ziyin beside him was silent. Because of the darkness, Shen Wen did not see the change in Ji Ziyin's expression. He was first touched by Shen Wen's words of protection and attention to him, and then he was surprised that this little lover who used to snuggle in his quilt and was scared to death every day had changed so much and became so brave after just a few days of separation.

They let the horses go and roam the mountains. The two walked along the mountain road for a while, but unexpectedly, an accident happened. The horse that was released turned around and came back, rushing towards them. Fortunately, Ji Ziyin had good hearing and a strong sense of danger. When the sound of the horse's hooves was getting closer, he grabbed Shen Wen and said in shock, "Oh no! Get out of the way."

Just as Ji Ziyan finished his words, the horse appeared in front of them and kicked over with its hoof, knocking Ji Ziyan and Shen Wen down. The two men fell on a hillside, rolled for a distance, and finally fell into a pit, knocking them unconscious.

Ji Ziyan ignored the pain in his body, propped himself up and called Shen Wen repeatedly. After calling a few times and hearing no response, he stood up from the ground.

When he stood up, he suddenly found that the black fog had disappeared, and now the sun was shining brightly. He could even feel the warmth of the sun on his body.

He looked around but still didn't see Shen Wen. He immediately panicked and raised his voice to shout, calling out for Shen Wen.

Shen Wen crawled out from behind a bush behind him. He was annoyed by his ear-breaking voice and quickly told him to look behind and stop making noise.

Ji Ziyan hurried over to help him up, checked his condition carefully, asked him if he was injured, and found that he only had minor skin abrasions on his wrists and face, so he felt relieved.

The two men looked at their surroundings and found it more and more strange. The shape of the mountain and the color of the rocks and soil were all different from the lush and misty Slit Mountain. The mountain where they were located had little vegetation, exposed rocks and sandy soil.

"It's really weird."

Ji Ziyan touched his head, looked at the surrounding mountains, and couldn't help complaining.

The two of them walked for some distance and even looked higher, but they didn't see anyone. The environment felt even more different from that of Slit Mountain.

Just when the two of them were wondering, they suddenly heard a few noises, which seemed to come from behind the mountain. After carefully identifying the noises, Shen Wen suddenly became alarmed.

"Oh no! Someone is firing. It's the sound of gunfire."

Shen Wen blurted out, leaving Ji Ziyan beside him confused.

Shen Wen pulled Ji Ziyin down the mountain. After walking for a while, Ji Ziyin pointed to the opposite mountain road and said, "There are a few people running over there."

Shen Wen looked up and now understood everything.

The couple who were fleeing on the mountain road were wearing strange clothes and running barefoot. Some of them were leading donkeys, and the donkeys were carrying all the property of the family...

Shen Wen recognized them at a glance. Their clothing was exactly the image of people from certain warring countries in the sub-continent.

Shen Wen grabbed Ji Ziyin and said, "Don't run around. There will be a war here soon. Let's find a place to hide first."

The two men found a cave, which was a home. However, there was no one in the house, and the house had all the necessary furnishings for daily life.

Hearing the random gunshots outside getting closer and closer, Ji Ziyan couldn't help but lie down at the entrance of the cave and look in the direction of the gunshots.

He was greatly shocked. The war that Shen Wen talked about did not involve any fighting with swords or soldiers on horseback. Instead, everyone was holding iron weapons and hiding behind shelters, firing cannons one after another. The thunder and fire cannons fired by the iron weapons were extremely powerful, and everyone had no chance to fight each other before they were killed or injured by the thunder and fire cannons. It was truly shocking.

The shocking and bloody war lasted for about three hours. Shen Wen sat at the entrance of the cave, listening to the sound of gunfire gradually fade away until it disappeared. He then said, "It's over."

Ji Ziyin had been itching to find out, so he said to Shen Wen, "Let's go outside and take a look. What are those iron things they just took? I wonder if there are one or two left on the battlefield. Let's go pick them up and take a look."

Shen Wen said: "Wait another half an hour. I'm afraid they will come back and it will be difficult to escape if they are caught by those people."

Ji Ziyan thought about it and realized that this was the truth, so he decided to listen to Shen Wen.

Ji Ziyin looked at Shen Wen curiously. He looked at Shen Wen, which made the Shen family confused. He asked, "What's wrong? Why do you always look at me?"

Ji Ziyin said: "You seem to know everything. You used to... I didn't know you well enough. I didn't expect that you are not that much worse than me."

Shen Wen said: "You are talking about this, it's nothing, I have indeed changed a lot compared to before, but there is one thing that has not changed, that is, caution, haven't you noticed? I used to be a cautious person."

What Shen Wen said was not entirely right. The Shen family in the past was not cautious, but truly afraid. Shen Wen now puts himself in Shen Wen's shoes and recalls that Shen Wen. He is not timid or cowardly. If he were to make drastic changes like Shen Wen, how many times would he have to die with so many people jumping out to kill him?

Not to mention him, even Shen Wen, the big boss who had a plug-in and a space weapon system, had a narrow escape from death, didn't he?

The two waited at the cave entrance for another hour, and when they heard that everything was fine outside, they came out of the cave. Ji Ziyin excitedly ran to the battlefield to check.

The bullet holes and bloodstains left on the battlefield were all fresh, the soil and grass where the gunpowder burned were still burning with flames, and there were useful bullet shells in hidden places. Ji Ziyan picked them up and hid them in his clothes as if they were treasures.

Looking at several local villagers running down the opposite hillside, Shen Wen didn't want to get involved, so he quickly grabbed Ji Ziyan's hand and left the battlefield.

They retreated back to the original pit. Ji Ziyin looked back at the group of villagers. They were not coming towards them, so he felt relieved. He turned back and said to Shen Wen, "Where are we going next?"

Shen Wen felt unreal and said, "Wait and see. If it doesn't work, we can only leave here."

Ji Ziyan asked him where he was going but he didn't say anything. So the two of them had to squat in the pit. Soon they felt sleepy and dozed off.

A short nap, and woke up again.

Ji Ziyin suddenly looked up and was shocked again. He quickly shook Shen Wen beside him and said, "Wake up, what's going on?"

Shen Wen was shaken awake. He rubbed his eyes, looked at Ji Ziyan, and then looked around. When he saw this, he was also stunned.

"Why...why did it change again?"

The two of them looked around, and the environment was completely different from the previous environment on the sub-continent. Ji Ziyin turned around and said, "This is the path we took to go up the mountain. We are back again. Look at the grass, it's still a mess from where the horses have trampled on it."

The two of them walked to the place that was damaged by the horse. Ji Ziyin pointed at the eye-catching horse hoof and said, "This is the red horse you rode. The hoof of this horse should be replaced. I haven't had time to replace it yet."

Shen Wen looked at the bright sun above his head and said, "It seems that we have just traveled through time and space. As time goes by, the black fog in the mountain has dissipated."

Ji Ziyin heard a key word and said, "Time travel? What is it?"

Shen Wen waved his hand and said, "This is not important."

Ji Ziyin looked at the sun in the sky and said, "It's afternoon now. Are you hungry? Let's find something to eat."

Shen Wen nodded and said, "Well, it's getting late. It will be very cold in the mountains at night. It will be very difficult to survive at night if we don't replenish our food."

It was not until this time that Ji Ziyan realized that when he was with this old friend whom he had known for many years again, it seemed as if he had never really understood him. He just stared at him blankly.

Shen Wen noticed it and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ji Ziyin said, "We have been together for so many years, and you have said so little to others. Every time you speak, your voice is as soft as a mosquito and intermittent. This is the first time I have noticed that you speak like this."

Shen Wen was puzzled and asked, "What kind of words are you talking about?"

Ji Ziyin couldn't describe it. He touched his head and smiled, "Replenish food? This is the first time someone has said it so seriously."

Shen Wen also looked at the tall man in front of him meaningfully.

Throughout the afternoon, the two men shot several large birds, a wild boar, and picked several kinds of fruits in the mountains.

They found a cave, made a fire in it, roasted the skinned wild boar, and gathered around the fire to roast it.
