One day after more than a month.
It was now noon, and the sun was shining.
In a barren mountain range, there are many traces of streams and springs that once flowed everywhere, but now they have all dried up for unknown reasons, and the bones of some animals can be seen from time to time.
The most conspicuous thing is the dark, scar-like cave along the way. Judging from the traces at the entrance of the cave, it should be man-made, and it has been around for some years.
At this moment, a tall figure slowly came out from the depths of the mountains from far to near.
The person who came was wearing a black shirt, his exposed skin was bronze-colored, his facial features were well-defined, his eyes were shining brightly, his black hair was tied up casually, and the tail was thrown upwards like a black torrent. The pair of knives and sticks, as well as the random chain stones around the waist, give people a wild and wild feeling.
This person is Shi Mu.
After killing Zaku, he also tried to let the parrot find the traces of Jin Xiaochai and others, but Jin Xiaochai and others seemed to have evaporated from the world, and there was no trace of them.
So he had no choice but to go on the road alone. Fortunately, he was guided by Zaku's detailed map. During the past month or so, except for some fierce beast attacks, he did not encounter any danger.
He was on his way during the day, and at night when there was no moon, he would summon Yan Luolai and let him practice martial arts with him. Now he is more and more comfortable using the skills of fighting against the enemy.
Suddenly, he stopped on a hill, and without his command, the parrot Cai'er flew out from his shoulder and went straight into the blue sky.
Speaking of which, according to the map, as early as two days ago, he had left the barbarian wasteland and entered the central mainland area.
But along the way, it was still barren and desolate, not much different from the barbarian wasteland.
This was quite different from the scene he had imagined where the heavens and earth in the middle of the mainland were full of aura. He almost thought that there was something wrong with Zaku's map.
After a while, Shi Mu readjusted his direction. He walked down the mountain with a single step.
Three days later.
Shi Mu appeared outside a border town.
This town is built near the mountain and covers a wide area, which is exactly the "Linshan Town" marked on the map.
Linshan Town is backed by a vast and steep mountain, hence the name.
There are many artificially dug aqueducts around the town. It must have been a fertile land with plenty of water in the past, but now these ditches seem to have dried up for a long time, and the land has begun to desertify, making it extremely barren.
"Stone, we can finally have a big meal!" Cai'er looked at the small town in front of her with bright eyes. He kept flapping his wings and shouting.
Shi Mu didn't speak, but moved towards the town.
He soon discovered that most of the buildings in the town were extremely beautifully built, but the strange thing was that the streets of Nuoda were sparsely populated, there were no pedestrians, and even the restaurants and restaurants along the street had no customers, which seemed a bit desolate.
Just as he was surprised, there was a burst of crying and crying in front of him.
Shi Mu's heart skipped a beat. Walking forward quickly, after turning a street corner, I immediately saw the source of the sound.
Four people in beast robes were shouting and cursing, while beating a dozen strong young men with their hands bound with their spears, urging them to move forward.
Most of these young and strong men had resentment on their faces, but they didn't dare to say anything, they just buried their heads forward.
Around these people, dozens of women, children and old people were kneeling on the ground and begging. crying.
These four men in beast robes are all acquired warriors, three of them are in the middle stage of cultivation, and the leading middle-aged man with triangular eyes has already reached the late stage.
From the voice of crying and begging. Shi Mu vaguely heard some clues.
These warriors seem to have come to the town to arrest people for mining.
"Xiang Messenger, please stay!"
At this moment, an old man with white hair hurried past Shi Mu with the support of a thin man.
The triangular-eyed man's complexion sank, and he turned to look at the gray-haired old man. His face was full of impatience.
"Xiang Envoy, please raise your hand and let them go. There are not many young and strong men in this town. If they leave again, the rest of the town will starve to death." The white-haired old mayor pointed at the bound young man and said in a pleading tone.
"Old man, we've paid out twice as much, and you won't lose a penny. Now the higher ups are pressing hard, I have to take these people away!" said the triangular-eyed man.
"I don't want your money, give me my husband back!"
"Don't take my son away!"
...
The white-haired old mayor begged again, and the old and weak women around him also cried.
The triangular-eyed man was unmoved at all, while pushing away the women hugging his thighs, while urging the others to hurry up and take him on the road.
"Master Xiang, there is someone blocking the way!" Suddenly, one of the men in the beast robe said.
The man with triangular eyes was startled, and looked up.
I saw a tall and burly young man in black shirt with a parrot on his shoulder, who appeared at some time on the road ahead of them, looking at him expressionlessly, it was Shi Mu.
The white-haired old mayor looked at Shi Mu in astonishment, those old, weak, sick and disabled kneeling on the ground, and the tied young and strong were also a little stunned.
"Your Excellency looks unfamiliar, is it a foreigner?" The triangular-eyed man looked at Shi Mu and asked tentatively.
"Let them go!" Shi Mu didn't speak, but the parrot on his shoulder spoke.
"I advise your Excellency to ignore our Beast Mountain Sect's business, and be careful not to cause trouble." The triangular-eyed man was startled, then his eyes twitched, and his tone raised a bit.
"Get out!" Shi Mu said, still not moving:
"court death!"
The triangular-eyed man was furious, and he shook the spear in his hand, a blue light immediately lit up on the spear, the tip of the spear trembled rapidly, and there was a loud chi chi piercing through the air, and a fierce wind rushed towards his face.
The cyan cold light at the tip of the gun flickered strangely in the three-foot space, and soon formed a huge cyan wolf's head. The man with triangular eyes jumped forward, and the wolf's head bit Shi Mu.
The three beast-robed men behind him also rushed towards Shi Mu, the spears in their hands trembled violently, and soon formed three smaller wolf heads, and also rushed towards Shi Mu.
The distance between the two was close, and in the blink of an eye, the four blue wolf heads had arrived in front of Shi Mu with a deep chill.
Shi Mu's lips moved slightly when the tip of the gun was less than a short distance away from him, and a white light radiated from his hand. Instantly condensed outside the body into a shell-like moon-white shield, with countless white runes flowing endlessly on the shield.
"Boom!" There was a burst of explosion!
The four ruthless heads collided with the moon white shield, and immediately burst open, and dozens of cold lights hit the shield continuously. The air waves scattered in all directions.
The moon white shield was calm.
Before the four of them could make other moves, Shi Mu opened his mouth, and four puffs of white air shot out, hitting the four of them on their chests in a flash.
This is the latest usage of the air blast technique that he has explored along the way, after accumulating a certain amount of mana in his body. Can spew out several white gas attacks in one breath.
With the improvement of the state of Yunshen Art, the power of Air Explosion Art has also increased greatly. When it is a full blow, it is not weaker than the full blow of ordinary Acquired Dzogchen warriors.
But Shi Mu obviously didn't use his full strength.
"Bah bah!" A series of muffled sounds.
Because the three men in animal robes were too close, they were directly hit on the chest by the white air, and a cloud of white air burst out, flying out backwards.
The faces of the three were pale, and the blood in their bodies was surging. I couldn't get up for a while.
The man with triangular eyes swung the long spear in his hand in time, white air burst from the gun body, and a huge force surged towards him, causing him to retreat three or four steps in a row, only then did he resolve the impact of the air wave.
"Spiritual Warlock!" His expression changed.
As soon as the words fell, a cloud of white air shot out from Shi Mu's hand, and it was in front of him in the blink of an eye.
Just when the triangular-eyed man wanted to block the attack with the spear in his hand, white air suddenly flashed and turned into a white air chain about ten feet long, binding him tightly.
With the current power of the gas ring pile. Even ordinary innate early stage warriors can hold two or three breaths if they are caught off guard, which is more than enough to deal with acquired warriors.
"Stone. Well done! Beat them to death." The parrot flapped its wings and screamed.
Shi Mu rolled his eyes at it, and turned his head to those old and weak women without looking at the four beast-robed warriors:
"Release your family and you can go home."
The young man and his family members who were stunned just now heard this. Immediately weeping with joy, many people came forward to kowtow to Shi Mu.
There was such a commotion that Shi Mu was at a loss for a moment.
At this moment, the energy chain on the man with triangular eyes disappeared, and he got up as soon as he turned over.
The other three beast-robed warriors also struggled to stand up at this time, moving closer to the triangular-eyed man.
A lot of young and strong and old and weak women found out, and immediately retreated to Shi Mu's back in horror.
"If you dare to meddle in our Beast Mountain Sect's affairs, don't leave if you have the guts!" The man with triangular eyes fixed his eyes on Shi Mu and said.
"roll!"
Shi Mu frowned, and before he could speak, the parrot on his shoulder was already puffing out his chest, and said arrogantly.
The triangular-eyed man saw Shi Mu's cold gaze, turned and left in a hurry, and the three green-robed warriors followed suit.
Seeing the other party run away, the rescued young man and his family thanked him again, and then gradually dispersed from Shi Mu's side.
"This old man is Liu Dou, the mayor of Linshan Town. If you dare to ask the honorable man's name, today's matter is thanks to the righteous man's help." The old mayor with white hair stepped forward and saluted Shi Mu.
However, there was not much joy in his words, and he still seemed worried.
"I'm Shi Mu, I'm just traveling through Guizhen." Shi Mu stretched out his hand, and stopped the old mayor from saluting.
"Shi Yishi, I see that you are full of dust and dust, so you must have not eaten yet. There is a restaurant in the old man's house. If you don't mind, how about going together?" the old mayor invited.
"Okay, great! Shitou, Cai'er is about to starve to death." The parrot flapped its wings and cheered.
Shi Mu flicked the parrot's head with his fingers, then nodded to the old mayor, agreeing.
With the support of the thin man, the old mayor immediately turned around and walked in the direction he came from. Shi Mu walked side by side with him unhurriedly.
