Several figures walked out of the forest, it was Wang Tiezhu and his party.
Looking up at the bright sun in the sky, Wang Tiezhu had a smile on his face.
The Blackwood Forest is full of towering trees. Although it does not completely block the sunlight, it still gives people a sense of eeriness and darkness. Seeing the long-lost sun at this moment, I naturally feel very comfortable.
Compared with the five people when they came, when they left Heimusen again, there were a few more figures in the team.
They are Xuanhu, Xuanshu, and...Xuan Yuansheng, who are Yuan-devouring beasts.
Although Wang Tiezhu initially refused Xuan Yuansheng to walk in the outside world, after the latter was willing to hand over the Mysterious Secret Deed and the Mysterious Covenant Deed, he said that they could discuss it.
Xuan Yuansheng is now wearing a robe, with a layer of linen wrapped around his face. Only his slightly red eyes are exposed. As long as you don't look carefully, it is difficult to find any difference between him and ordinary people.
As for the black fox, it now has a layer of beast fur stuck to its body, also to hide its true identity.
After the group left Heimusen, they did not stay too much and went straight back to Dongsheng Village, retrieved the carriage, and traveled day and night. On the morning of the third day, they arrived at Yuanmei Town.
The Shang and Zhou couple were visibly relieved about their safe return.
Nearly a month has passed since they left for Heimusen.
During this period, the whole family was on tenterhooks, fearing that something unexpected might happen to them. When they saw their return, they felt happy and quickly held a banquet at home to welcome them.
Seeing everyone feasting at the banquet, Xuan Yuansheng looked envious.
"I haven't tasted anything in a thousand years..."
"Oh? Really? How pitiful."
Wang Tiezhu glanced at him with pity, then stuffed a large piece of meat into his mouth, "Yeah! It smells so good!"
Xuan Yuansheng was speechless for a while, and then walked away silently.
the following few days.
Wang Tiezhu and his party stayed at Shang Mansion to rest.
Now outside, Mo Linmai's manpower is still setting up checkpoints at various official roads. Their original identities are very sensitive, and now that there are several people from Xuanji Mountain, they need to be more careful.
Fortunately, Yuanmei Town is located in a remote area, and the bayonet installed nearby has inexplicably moved far away.
But after knowing this, a figure suddenly appeared in Wang Tiezhu's mind, the figure who once said to himself "never come back again"...
Although it is not convenient for them to leave Yuanmei Town now, they can use this time to start the repair work of Mo Nu.
In the backyard of the Shang Mansion, Wang Tiezhu and his party sat in a circle. In the open space in the middle were jade armor stone fragments and demon pills of various grades.
"Mr. Bai, please take out that stone slab."
Hearing Xuan Yuansheng's words, Bai Jingfeng nodded, took out the Monu Slate, and carefully placed it between the jade armor stone fragments and the demon pill.
"Mr. Xuan, what should we do next?"
Xuan Yuansheng looked at the cracked stone slab on the ground and said slowly.
"It has no independent consciousness now. You need to establish a mysterious bond with it first to help awaken it."
"Mysterious secret contract?"
Bai Jingfeng frowned. He had always regarded Mo Nu as a companion. Now asking him to establish a mysterious secret contract with Mo Nu was like asking him to treat Mo Nu as a servant. It was really hard to accept.
"Don't worry Jingfeng, the secret contract can be broken voluntarily."
At this time, Wang Tiezhu, who was already familiar with the power of the contract, opened his mouth to persuade.
"In this situation, no one can help Mo Nu except you."
Bai Jingfeng thought for a while and finally agreed.
Under the guidance of Xuan Yuansheng, after establishing a secret contract with Mo Nu, he immediately began to call silently in his heart with the help of his spiritual connection with Mo Nu.
"Mo Nu, Mo Nu,..."
After an unknown amount of time, Bai Jingfeng finally received a response.
"I am here……"
Hearing this "I am here", his nose felt sore and his eyes instantly turned red.
"Mo Nu, listen to me, we have found the Jade Armor Stone and the Demonic Pill for you, but you have to work hard on your own, do you understand?"
"..."
However, he waited for a long time this time and did not receive a response from Mo Nu.
Just as he was about to call again, he suddenly heard everyone shouting in surprise and quickly opened their eyes to look.
He saw an ink-colored viscous liquid slowly seeping out from the stone slab. He was delighted when he saw it. This was exactly the scene when Mo Nu appeared before! Is Mo Nu ready to come out?
However, what disappointed him was that after the ink-colored liquid only wrapped the jade armor stone and some demon pills, it no longer continued to seep out. Instead, it rolled these things back into the stone slab.
Everyone said nothing, silently waiting for its next change.
It's just that after Mo Nu absorbed these things, he seemed to have become silent, and there was no obvious change as everyone expected.
"What's going on? Can't the demon pill be used by it as spiritual energy?"
Wang Tiezhu frowned and looked a little gloomy.
"In this case, we have to find living souls to heal its wounds, but Jingfeng's side..."
He raised his head and glanced at Bai Jingfeng for a moment, and found that the latter also had a sad face, his brows were furrowed, and he was looking at the stone slab in front of him in silence.
"Forget it, let's not mention it for now and let him think about it first..."
Wang Tiezhu understands in his heart that Bai Jingfeng has always resisted the use of living souls. He is in a low mood now. If he speaks out at this time, I am afraid it will make him and you uncomfortable.
Several other people felt the oppressive atmosphere in the scene and were wise enough not to speak, but they did not leave either. They sat quietly where they were, accompanying Bai Jingfeng.
I don't know how much time passed, but just when Wang Tiezhu was about to ask everyone to go to rest, Bai Jingfeng suddenly raised his head, looked at him and said blankly.
"Brother Qingyang, Monu it, it,..."
"Um?"
Seeing his dull expression, Wang Tiezhu's heart moved. Did something happen to Mo Nu again?
"Monu has responded! He has responded! Hahaha!"
"You boy!"
Wang Tiezhu smiled helplessly, reached out and patted his head.
"Can you please stop gasping when you speak? I'm going to be scared to death by you!"
Bai Jingfeng smiled, scratched his head, and explained to everyone.
"I just received a response from Mo Nu. It said that although the Jade Armor Stone and Demonic Pill are useful to it, it is too weak now and will take a long time to recover, which makes everyone worried!"
"What's this!"
Shang Qi said with a smile: "As long as it is fine, our efforts have not been in vain!"
Bai Jingfeng nodded, suddenly stood up from the ground, glanced at everyone, and said with a serious face: "On behalf of Mo Nu, I would like to thank you for your hard work on this trip!"
