"No need, I'm used to being alone." The green-haired woman didn't even look at Tian Huan, and replied in a cold tone.
Tian Huan wanted to say something else, but the green-haired woman didn't stop at all and left.
This woman stayed in front of Shi Mu for only a short time, but she left a deep impression on him, not because she was so beautiful and enchanting, but because she was the first early earth-level warrior to leave alone.
"I don't know what's good or bad!"
Tian Huan looked at her graceful figure retreating, murmured something in a low voice, then turned around, glanced around indifferently, and left with the three people behind him.
After these people left, people left one after another in twos and threes, and soon there were only about twenty people left on the scene, most of whom were only at the early stage of the Earth Level.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded:
"Fellow Taoists, I'm in Jijiang. I have something I want to discuss with you."
Shi Mu was a little surprised, and he and the rest of the people followed the sound and looked at that person.
I saw a demon youth with black scales on his cheeks, bowing slightly and looking around to salute everyone.
The man was much taller than the average human race. He was wearing a blue cloth robe, but because of his very thin figure, most of the clothes on his shoulders hung down diagonally. Two fleshy wings were halfway through the two rips in the blue robe.
Exposed, it looks a bit funny.
"Everyone must also know that in this secret realm of water, sky and green mountains, in addition to monsters and beasts, there are countless fairy mushrooms and herbs that can be harvested. With the initial level of cultivation at the lower level, I didn't expect to be able to pick one of the best this time.
I stood out in the competition. I just wanted to come here to broaden my horizons. I am lucky enough to be here with you today. It is also fate. Why not go together and take care of each other? What do you think?" The person who calls himself Ji Jiang
The thin young man talked eloquently.
"It's easy to travel together, but if you hunt a monster, who will be responsible for it?" As soon as Ji Jiang finished speaking, someone questioned, and then there was a chaotic discussion.
"There are many dangers in the secret realm. If you are alone, not only will it be difficult to hunt stronger monsters, but you will also easily become the target of attacks by monsters and other teams. Let alone exploring deep into the secret realm, you may just want to come back alive.
, Isn’t it easy?” Ji Jiang was not annoyed and asked.
As soon as this was said, the crowd immediately fell silent.
"Going together and slaying high-level monsters together has a higher chance of success, and can better ensure your safety. In addition, the spiritual herbs and elixirs and innate monster cores obtained along the way belong to the person who discovered them.
The demon cores obtained from hunting demonic beasts above the earth level will be divided equally according to the output, what do you think?" Ji Jiang suggested.
After saying this, many people were obviously moved and expressed their willingness to stay and form a team, but a few people still chose to leave alone after thinking about it.
Ji Jiang didn't care about this and began to talk about his next plan in detail.
"Fellow Daoist Ji, I have been to the area you mentioned ten years ago. Except for some innate monsters, I have never seen any spiritual herbs there. There is no need to go there to waste time." When Ji Jiang was getting excited, a
A tall man with a beard, blue skin and vertical pupils on his forehead suddenly interjected.
"What this Taoist brother doesn't know is that this area does not have much value, but through here, you can reach the depths of the secret realm as quickly as possible. According to the information I spent a lot of money to collect, there is a habitat for earth-level monsters there, and
Not many people know about it. At that time, everyone can cooperate sincerely and hunt together to their heart's content." Ji Jiang explained.
After hearing Ji Jiang's explanation, the bearded man nodded thoughtfully.
The remaining dozen or so people were almost all in the early stages of the Earth Level, so naturally they had no objections to Ji Jiang's arrangement.
After the arrangement was completed, Ji Jiang noticed Shi Mu and Zi Ling who had been standing outside. He glanced at the two of them and then fell on Zi Ling.
"Little girl, in my opinion, please stop following us." Ji Jiang said directly without hesitation.
"Fellow Daoist Ji, this girl Ziling is with me." Shi Mu said with a raised brow.
"This... excuse me to be honest, this little girl is originally from the human race, and her body is inherently weak. Judging from her strength, she can only advance to the earth level, and her aura is unstable. Joining the team can only be a burden. I'm afraid everyone
They won't agree to it either." After saying that, he turned his attention to the people who were about to leave.
"Brother Ji is right. We don't want such a dragster to come in. Not only will we suffer ourselves, but we will also drag others down..."
"Don't, don't, burden someone else, it will harm others and yourself..."
"..."
"Look, this fellow Taoist, it's not that I don't want this little girl to join, it's really that we don't want to be dragged down by it." Ji Jiang spread his hands and said awkwardly.
Shi Mu looked down at Zi Ling and saw that she was smiling slightly, as if she didn't mind at all.
"It doesn't matter, let Zi Ling join. I will take care of her safety without bothering other fellow Taoists." Shi Mu said calmly.
"It's not that Mr. Ji is too talkative. Fellow Taoist, you really can't do that..."
"Fellow Taoist, there's no need to say any more, I've made up my mind." Ji Jiang wanted to persuade Shi Mu a few more words, but he waved his hand to stop him.
Seeing Shi Mu's firm attitude, Ji Jiang said no more. He was not very optimistic about Shi Mu, a human race, so he said "That's up to you" and walked back to the crowd.
"Brother Shi, you are so kind, thank you." Zi Ling pulled the corner of Shi Mu's clothes and whispered her thanks.
"It's nothing. As human beings, we naturally need to be more united. From now on, follow me closely. As long as you stay within the Shifang Tiandi area, I will try my best to protect you." Shi Mu said.
"Yes!" Zi Ling heard this and nodded vigorously.
In fact, he didn't necessarily want to act with this group of people. He just knew that there were people in this group who had been to the secret realm before, so he wanted to follow them first and get familiar with the environment before making plans.
As for this Ziling, on the one hand, he is a human race, and on the other hand, he is really lovable, so that he can't feel any dislike at all. And he asked himself that as long as he moved around in this peripheral area, there shouldn't be any big problems.
, after all, this woman is truly in the early stages of the earth class.
After determining the route, the group headed towards the depths of the grassland, led by Ji Jiang and the bearded man.
As we gradually go deeper into the grassland, the wild grass on the ground gradually becomes lush, and it is basically as tall as a person. It is impossible to see what is going on inside, whether there are any monsters hidden there.
On the way forward, many people have begun to use their own methods to explore the surrounding situation.
Perhaps it is because this place is still at the outermost edge of Shifang Heaven and Earth. Apart from a few innate monsters, we did not encounter any powerful monsters along the way. In contrast, the so-called heavenly materials and earthly treasures are also hard to find.
.
Shi Mu and Zi Ling walked side by side, walking at the end of the team, chatting from time to time, which was quite leisurely.
After a while, Shi Mu waved his hand and sent out a magic spell, which landed on the gray beast soul bag on his waist.
With a flash of light, Cai'er flew out of the beast soul bag and hovered in the air for a while.
"Oh, Shitou, you finally thought of me, but I was suffocated to death. Phew, the air here is so fresh!" Cai'er shouted excitedly, and many people in front turned around when they heard the sound.
"Come down, stop messing around!" Shi Mu frowned and sent a message through his mind.
Cai'er was a little reluctant, but she flew down obediently and landed on Shi Mu's shoulder.
"Wow, what a beautiful parrot, Brother Shi, is it your spiritual pet? It's so cute!" Zi Ling looked at Cai'er with stars twinkling in her eyes.
"It's name is Cai'er. I raised it, but it's not my pet, it's a companion." Shi Mu said.
"That's right, Shitou and I have the same status!" Cai'er heard this and said with her head held high.
The more Zi Ling looked at Cai'er's appearance, the more she felt like it. With a wave of her hand, a soft glow flew out of her hand, wrapped around Cai'er's body, and gently pulled her into her arms.
middle.
"Warlock?"
When Shi Mu saw this, his heart moved.
Although Cai'er seemed to have little strength, she was very clever and couldn't catch it with ordinary means. However, the little girl's random spells left Cai'er powerless to parry. Obviously, the method used was not simple.
This discovery made Shi Mu look deeply at the woman, but he said nothing.
Ziling hugged Cai'er, her little face kept rubbing Cai'er's feathers, looking doting on her.
"Hey...hey...you little girl, don't rub your saliva on my beautiful feathers..." Cai'er struggled desperately, but she couldn't escape from Zi Ling's hands. After trying for a long time, she had to give up and looked at Shi
There was a hint of resentment in Mu's eyes.
When Shi Mu saw Cai'er's embarrassed look, he couldn't help but chuckle. His eyes said, "I'm going to suffer a lot for being dishonest."
However, he still warned:
"Miss Ziling, this is a secret trial realm. It's better not to play here and pay more attention to your surroundings."
"Hey, Brother Shi is reminding you! This little parrot is so cute!" Upon hearing this, Zi Ling smiled sheepishly and reluctantly let Cai'er go.
Cai'er quickly flew back to Shi Mu's shoulder, not daring to get close to Zi Ling again.
"Cai'er, pay attention to the situation around you. I always feel that this place shouldn't be so peaceful." Shi Mu said in a message.
"Don't worry, leave this matter to me! I'll go take a look around." Cai'er said, glancing at Zi Ling from the corner of her eyes. Seeing that the latter was still looking at her from time to time, she was startled and quickly fluttered her wings towards
Flying in mid-air.
"Be careful, stay too far away." Shi Mu was a little worried and reminded him through a message.
"Don't worry, I know what's appropriate, quack..." Cai'er flapped her wings and flew to a high altitude that was beyond the eyesight, and quickly disappeared.
"Brother Shi, why did you let the little parrot out?" Zi Ling's eyes followed Cai'er and asked with some confusion.
"I've been in the bag for a long time and I'm feeling stuffy. Let's let it breathe." Shi Mu said, releasing his consciousness and exploring the surroundings. (To be continued.)
