The trees behind him grew very tall and lush, blocking out the sky and the sun. Their strong vitality was flowing, making Mu Yu feel comfortable.
There was a broken tree not far ahead, as if it had been cut in half. It looked like it had been broken for a while.
The fracture was covered with moss, and a few tree mushrooms were swaying slightly. Half of the broken trunk was missing, but huge footprints were left on the damp ground.
These footprints were at least half a meter long and messy, as if some huge monster walked over rudely, then stayed on the ground and circled a few times before continuing to leave.
There are footprints indicating that there are at least monsters in the woods, but the whole forest is very quiet at the moment, so quiet that it makes people feel a little nervous. It is a very abnormal phenomenon that there are no birds and beasts singing in a huge forest in broad daylight, but this
Mu Yu had seen this phenomenon once before.
"This is - Fulong Mountain?"
Mu Yu was so surprised that he quickly rushed up to the sky and looked into the distance. Sure enough, he saw the big mountain in the distance that looked like a sleeping dragon.
And what Mu Yu was in at the moment was the deep mountain forest where he and the disciples from twenty other sects in the Moyun Mountain Range came in to investigate Yu Meng's movements!
"How did we come to Fulong Mountain?" Xiaoshuai asked in confusion.
Mu Yu frowned. He had passed through this forest twice in and out of the Moyun Mountains to find the five teleportation arrays of the Yumeng Demon Clan, and then reached Lanxi City through the teleportation arrays.
But this time, he was clearly dealing with the ghost sect people in the Shiwan Mountains far away. He knew the topography of the Moyun Mountains. From here to where he was, even if he had the cultivation level of the distraction period, he would not be able to reach it in less than two days.
of.
But it had only been less than two hours since he had escaped from the Ghost Sect!
Being able to cross a landscape of thousands of miles in two hours is impossible for even a cultivator in the combined stage, let alone Mu Yu.
"When I was running just now, I obviously felt the surrounding terrain shake slightly. Did we pass through the teleportation array?"
Mu Yu sat on the treetop, thinking about the direction of the road. When he was underground just now, he just chose a random direction and ran away desperately. He didn't know where he ran. Who would have thought that he would end up at Fulong Mountain after coming out?
nearby.
"You are now the master of the Talisman Sect. If you pass by the teleportation array, wouldn't you notice it?" Long Teng asked aloud.
Mu Yu did not feel any movement of the array when he ran away just now, otherwise he would not have noticed it. But it obviously does not make sense to cover such a long distance in such a short time. There must be something weird in this.
.
"It's the Five Elements Formation of the Yumeng Demon Clan, that's right! Their Five Elements Formation is different from our human race's formation. Was it a certain Yumeng Demon Clan that was helping me just now?"
Mu Yu recalled the shaking feeling just now. Although it was very inconspicuous and not as big as the teleportation array that teleported Mu Yu to Lanxi City, the weird feeling was the same as the teleportation array.
"How about we go to the teleportation array again?" Xiaoshuai suggested.
"No need to go, I teleported you here."
A very old voice came from the woods. This voice was full of vicissitudes of life, simple and distant, and echoed throughout the woods like a bell. It was everywhere and clearly audible.
Mu Yu was slightly startled. He heard who the voice was. It was the old tree leader of the Muyumeng Demon Clan! When he broke into this forest, his ability to control trees was very weak in front of the Muyomeng Demon Clan.
, was captured by a Muyumeng demon clan, and met the old tree leader of the Muyomeng clan, who also handed him Muyumeng’s sacred object, the wood spirit.
"The old tree grows?"
Mu Yu looked around in surprise on the treetops, trying to find the figure of the old tree leader, but he didn't see a single figure. He focused his attention on the trees at his feet, searching the woods for dozens of miles.
, still no sign of the old tree was found.
"Stop looking, I'm here." The old tree said leisurely.
Mu Yu turned his head and looked down. He was shocked. He didn't even know that there was an old man standing on the branch below him!
"If you are not the old tree leader, who are you?"
Mu Yu looked at the old man in front of him doubtfully. This old man looked exactly like a human. He had a white beard and white eyebrows, his eyes were slightly squinted, and his face was full of wrinkles. Except for the clothes he was wearing, which were made of bodhi leaves, he looked the same as the Yumon Demon Clan in other places.
It doesn't look like it at all.
Although Mu Yu has not seen the Mu Yumeng demon clan many times, he was once taken to Mu Yumeng's lair. Those Mu Yumeng were covered with branches intertwined and intertwined, like irregular trees.
Apart from having human facial features and limbs, and even speaking human words, other places and people are not believed at all.
"I am the old tree leader." The old man in front of him said with a smile.
"Stop pretending, I have seen Old Shu Chang, and he is not like you. Besides, the Yumeng Demon Tribe is not like you either. Where did you come from as a cultivator?"
Mu Yu looked at the old man in front of him, trying to find something special about him, but the other man's aura was restrained, like a century-old tree, and as deep as the sea.
"It seems that the silence has been too long, and you cultivators have forgotten the true face of our Youmeng. Do you believe this?" The old man's face suddenly changed rapidly, and transformed into the image of intertwined branches again, showing what Mu Yu had seen before.
appearance.
"This is the old tree - wait, when did you Mu Yumeng learn to disguise yourself?" Mu Yu asked warily as he watched the old tree grow back into a human form.
If the Muyumeng Demon Clan can disguise themselves as humans, doesn't it mean that they can easily sneak into the human race and make trouble for the human race with ease?
"Disguise? This is what we are, no need to disguise." Old Shu took a long step forward and came to Mu Yu, looking at Mu Yu with a smile.
"Aren't you Yumeng all weird and weird, with your whole body filled with rocks and branches and fire, etc?"
While Muyu was talking, seven or eight more Muyumen emerged from the surrounding trees. After they completely left the trees, they turned into humanoid appearances.
It's just that they are not wearing human clothes, but are wearing clothes made of some special leaves, just like primitive savages, which seems quite weird to Mu Yu.
The old tree leader shook his head and said with a smile: "We Yumeng have never looked any different from you humans, it's just that our behavior is different. We only become trees when we control them. We look like this at other times.
.”
"Then why did you all look like branches when I saw you last time?" Mu Yu asked in confusion.
The last time I was caught in Yomon's lair, none of the Yomon around looked like humans.
"When you saw us like that before, it was because Yu Meng was severely restricted by Sleeping Immortal Prison, leaving us without enough spiritual energy to recover. When you saw us in other places, it was because we were still in the recovery period, so it was also
There is no way to become normal."
After a pause, the old tree leader emphasized: "Yes, what you see now is our normal appearance."
"Really? How come no one told this?"
Mu Yu always thought that Yu Meng was easy to identify and completely different from the human race. However, the old tree leader emphasized that Mu Yu and the human race were the same, which was very strange.
"No matter what kind of attribute Yumeng is, there are two forms. When we, Muyumen, fight against cultivators, they will turn into the shape of trees. They are usually the same as human beings. In fact, it's not just you, I'm afraid many cultivators
"People all think that we Yumeng are just like branches spitting fire and stones, because the human race and Yumeng always fight and fight each other when they meet, and there has never been peace, so you don't know that our Yumeng's other side is normal." Old Man
The tree leader explained.
Mu Yu was doubtful. He still could not accept the fact that the Yumeng demons could freely switch between the two forms, but the old tree leader was a real person, and he would not mistake the old tree leader's aura.
He decided not to ask any more questions and said gratefully: "Thank you, Old Tree Leader, for saving my life."
You don't need to think about it to know that what scared away the ghost gatekeepers just now was the unfathomable old Muyumen tree growing in front of you.
The old tree leader nodded: "You are different. Cultivators never say thank you to us Yu Meng."
Mu Yu smiled calmly. Ever since he knew that the war between the Yumon Demon Clan and the Human Race was actually caused by the Sanzhong Palace behind the scenes, he felt that the Yumon Demon Clan was not as hateful as the rumors said. After all, no matter which side it is, it is a war.
of victims, the real culprit is Triple Palace.
"Then why did you come to save me? Haven't you guys left the Moyun Mountains long ago?" Mu Yu asked curiously. The old tree leader didn't have any ill intentions towards Mu Yu, so Mu Yu wasn't worried that the other party wanted to kill him.
Why, because in this forest, it is probably unrealistic for Mu Yu to escape from the old tree leader.
The old tree leader is Mu Yumeng and can control trees. Mu Yu doesn't have much advantage.
Lao Shuchang looked at Mu Yu meaningfully and said, "I came here specifically to find you."
"Looking for me? Don't come here to recruit me again, right?"
Mu Yu remembered what the old tree leader had said to him. At that time, the old tree leader could actually kill Mu Yu. At that time, the old tree leader said that he wanted to take a gamble on Mu Yu. He felt that in the future, the Yumeng demon clan and the human race
When there is a dispute between them, Mu Yu may side with the Yumon Demon Tribe.
If it were Mu Yu in the past, he would have chosen to side with the human race without hesitation and help the human race defeat the Yumon Demon Clan. However, after knowing certain truths, he found that if he helped the human race defeat the Yumen Demon Clan, he would be aiding the evildoers.
He cannot help either party, but must find a way to stop this war and stop the disgusting conspiracy of the Triple Palace.
War will bleed, and once a life dies, it is the three palaces that benefit the fishermen.
"That's not the case. I followed the scent of the wood spirit to find you, only to find that you turned the originally vibrant wood spirit into a pure dead thing. Do you want to explain it to me?" Lao Shuchang raised his eyebrows.
, like questioning Mu Yu.
"It was an accident, a real accident."
Mu Yu shrugged helplessly. The wood spirit was originally Mu Yumeng's sacred object. When the old tree leader gave it to Mu Yu, he definitely didn't want it to become like this. Unfortunately, after the death energy of the Hades was absorbed by it, it turned into something like this.
It's a bit strange. Although nothing has happened yet, it's hard to say what will happen to Mu Yu in the future.
The old tree smiled and said: "I don't blame you. After all, it was the Bodhi Tree that chose to give it to you. Although the wood spirit has changed its appearance, it can still control all plants. I'm looking for you.
Because a series of things have happened in the Sanchong Continent this year, and you have been in the Moyun Mountains without knowing it."
