On a green grassland, a girl in a blue shirt stood alone on a boulder, her clothes dancing with the breeze, like a fairy on the waves, and she felt a bit like an orchid in the empty valley.
The goddess looked a little dazed, looking far away in another direction.
"is it him……"
After a while, the girl in the blue shirt moved her red lips slightly and murmured something.
At this moment, a dark shadow emerged from the distance and came quickly towards here.
The girl in blue shirt shook her head slightly, put away the expression on her face, and turned to look at the black shadow.
The black shadow became bigger and bigger, and it gradually became clear that it was the half-human, half-fish man from the sea tribe, but at this moment, he had a set of black armor on his body.
The fish tail behind it swung rapidly from side to side on the ground, like a snake, at an extremely fast speed. It didn't take long before it reached the girl in blue shirt.
"Saint!"
The voice of the big man in black armor was low and hoarse, as if two wooden blocks were rubbing against each other.
"Let's go." The girl in blue said this calmly, then she jumped down from the boulder, turned around and headed towards the north.
The big man in black armor responded and quickly followed.
…
In a hilly area, there is a depression between two hills. The smell of blood is so strong that it makes you sick to hear it.
In the depression, more than a dozen yellow lizard corpses of different sizes were lying on the ground. Most of their bodies were chopped into two pieces, and blood flowed across them, forming a pool of blood in the depression.
A girl in yellow clothes wearing a fox fur cloak is standing aside, it is Princess Huowu.
At this moment, she was holding a water bag in her hand, slowly washing the blood on the silver sword in her hand.
The clothes on this woman's body were spotless, with no trace of blood on them.
After rinsing away the blood on the sword blade, her whole body floated to the top of the hill like a yellow cloud.
After Princess Huowu pondered for a moment, she stepped forward and headed in one direction.
…
In a small, dark canyon, five barbarians were fighting with hundreds of bloody bats.
Each of these bats is the size of a human head, has sharp claws, and even has sharp white teeth in its mouth. They look quite impressive, and there are so many of them that when viewed from a high altitude, they are like a blood mist, covering five of them.
The barbarians surrounded him, swooping down and biting him.
However, the five barbarians did not show the slightest sign of panic. They formed a circle back to back, and the weapons in their hands waved into a dense cold light, which connected together to protect the five people inside.
Any bloody bat that tries to get close will be cut into several pieces, and no one will survive.
And the five people gradually advanced in this formation towards the mouth of the canyon ahead.
Among the five barbarians, three of them were wearing light red barbarian costumes, with a giant python pattern embroidered on their exposed right arms. They were clearly members of the Fierce Snake Tribe.
The leader was a bald man with deep-set eyes and small pupils, which occasionally flickered with bursts of cold light. He actually had acquired Dzogchen cultivation. The other two people had also reached the late acquired stage, and their strength was not weak.
The three of them all held a long green whip, which was driven like an arm. Wherever the shadow of the whip passed, the bloody bats collapsed immediately upon contact.
The other two were unusually tall and dark-skinned. Their green animal skin armor had a black bull's head mark on it, which was the symbol of the ferocious bull of the eight barbarian tribes.
The cultivation level of the two people is also not low. One of them is a braided brawny man who has acquired the Dzogchen Perfection. The muscles on his body are like an iron tower. The other black-faced man is in the late acquired state. The huge battle ax is between the two of them.
In the hand, it feels as light and free as straw.
Even though these bloody bats were not afraid of death, under the steady and steady strangulation of the five people, there were only less than a hundred left in the blink of an eye, and the five of them were not far from the mouth of the valley.
As if afraid of the large amount of sunlight entering the valley entrance, all the remaining bloody bats suddenly flapped their wings and flew away, turning into a red cloud and flying towards the canyon.
"Phew, we're finally gone. These flat-haired bats don't even have the skills to acquire the skills, and their beast souls are useless. They're very difficult to deal with." The brawny man from the Iron Tower of the Rough Cow Department exhaled and complained.
"Having said that, this Skyline Canyon is the only way to go north in this area. Speaking of which, Brother Mangkun's strength is close to that of the innate warriors. How can these bats be your opponents? Let's just use it as a warm-up.
"The bald man from the Fierce Snake tribe put away the blue whip in his hand and said with a smile.
When the giant man from the iron tower heard the compliments in the other person's words, he looked proud and laughed.
"But I don't know what Brother Mangkun's next plan is?" The bald man looked towards the exit of the canyon and asked seemingly casually.
"Of course we're going deep into the forbidden area. These ferocious beasts on the periphery are too weak. Even if we kill them, we can't get high-level beast souls. The rewards this time are quite rich, so we have to kill more!" The iron tower man grinded.
Teeth, said.
In the past, any warrior who was selected by major tribes to enter the forbidden land to hunt beast souls could keep 30% of the beast souls as private property after leaving the forbidden land, thus motivating these warriors to hunt as many beast souls as possible.
This time, the number of beast souls that can be retained has been increased to 50% for the first time.
"Haha, it seems that Brother Mangkun wants to show off his skills! If so, I am willing to ask Brother Mangkun for a favor at the cost of all the beast souls in the three of us." The bald man said with his eyes focused.
"Oh, what's going on?" Upon hearing this, Mang Kun glanced at the beast soul bags on the waists of the three members of the Fierce Snake Tribe and asked.
"I want to ask Brother Mangkun for help in killing someone." The bald man said slowly.
"Killing people? From which tribe?" Mang Kun frowned and asked.
"It's not a member of my barbarian tribe, but the human man who followed Da Qi Huowu into the forbidden area. Brother Mangkun must have been impressed, right?" the bald man said in a deep voice.
"There seems to be such a person. Could it be that this person has offended your Serpent Tribe?" Mang Kun nodded thoughtfully.
"This man killed the young master of my Fierce Snake Tribe a few months ago. It was difficult to do so on the Holy Mountain before. Now that he has come to the forbidden land, he naturally has to settle the score!" The bald man's voice was full of murderous intent.
.
"I see. Okay, I agree to this." Mang Kun agreed without caring.
"Wait a minute, Bronze Commander, if I remember correctly, that person's cultivation level doesn't seem to be very high. He only has the strength of the mid-term acquired level, right? Your Fierce Snake Tribe can just send out a warrior and kill him. Why do you need to invite him?
Shall we help?" The dark-faced man next to Mang Kun suddenly asked.
"Since that man can kill the young master of our clan, he must have some skills. That's why I invited you two to help, so that everything is safe." The bald man said.
"Then..." After hearing this, the black-faced man pondered for a moment, as if he wanted to ask something more.
"Okay, where is that man? Go and kill him quickly. Don't delay me while we continue to hunt the beast." Mang Kun interrupted the black-faced man's words with a wave of his hand and said impatiently.
"Thank you both for your help!"
As the bald man spoke, he turned over his hand and took out a bone disc with a lifelike python pattern carved on the surface, and in the middle of the disc was a crimson pointer that curved like a snake letter.
The bald man recited a few incantations, and the pointer immediately began to swing gently, then gradually stabilized, pointing in a certain direction to the northwest.
"Okay, let's go in this direction." The bald man said with a cold light in his eyes.
As soon as he finished speaking, he took the lead and headed towards the direction pointed by the pointer.
…
Near a waterhole, a fiery red wild boar-like beast was drinking water with its head lowered.
This beast is three feet long and as tall as a person. It has fangs sticking out of its mouth and is covered in scales. It looks extremely ferocious.
Whoosh!
A black arrow flew out from a nearby big tree, and shot into the fiery red war pig's head in a flash, until the tail of the arrow was missing.
The fiery red war pig immediately let out a shrill scream, and its huge body ran rampant, breaking several big trees in succession before it stopped and fell heavily to the ground.
There was blood flowing from his head, and his body twitched twice and became motionless.
From a big tree next to the pond, a person jumped down, dressed in black robes, it was Shi Mu.
He held the Sky-Breaking Bow in his hand and took a few steps to the side of the flaming wild boar.
He took off the beast soul bag from his waist and put it on top of the wild boar's head. With a burst of energy, a ball of red beast soul floated out of its head and disappeared into the beast soul bag.
At this time, his beast soul bag already contained more than twenty beast souls, but most of them were ferocious beasts in the early and middle stages of acquired life.
Shi Mu hung the beast soul bag on his waist and continued to move forward. He suddenly raised his eyebrows and stopped.
He turned around and walked back, took out the long black arrow from the flaming boar's head, chopped the wound open with a meteorite black knife, and then continued to move forward.
At this moment, he was in the middle of two consecutive tall mountain peaks, with a narrow valley in the middle. Looking forward, the valley seemed to be getting narrower.
Shi Mu frowned, secretly wondering if there would be a dead end ahead.
I took out the animal skin map and studied it, but unfortunately it didn't identify this place.
He glanced back and realized that he had been in this valley for a long time. If he returned the same way, he would probably waste a lot of effort.
Shi Mu pondered for a moment and decided to move on.
As a result, as we went further, the canyon gradually came closer, and the mountains on both sides cast huge shadows, submerging the entire valley.
In addition, the trees in the middle of the canyon are also very prosperous, and a thick layer of dry leaves has fallen on the ground. It seems that it has been piled up for an unknown period of time. When you step on it, it feels like you are stepping on thick cloth, making a crunching sound.
Shi Mu moved forward quickly, but his brows gradually wrinkled.
An hour later, Shi Mu stopped, with a wry smile on his face.
At this moment, he was standing on a dead tree that had fallen to the ground. The canyon in front of him had finally closed completely, and there was no way forward.
The walls on both sides of the canyon are so steep that you can't see the top at a glance. You don't know how long it will take to climb. Even if you climb up, you may not be able to find a way out.
Shi Mu sighed, and was about to turn back the way he came, when his peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of a dark thing lying in the bushes on the side, with a round shape and an unknown identity.
He raised his eyebrows, walked over, pushed aside the bushes, and was suddenly startled.
The black thing was about the size of a foot, and it looked like it had been there for some time. It must have fallen from some statue.
Shi Mu had a look of surprise on his face. Ever since he entered the forbidden area, all he had seen was a barren primitive world, but this statue was obviously a man-made thing.
