The fire wings behind Shi Mu flapped, looking in one direction, and flew forward for dozens of miles in one breath, and then slowly fell from the air.
The fields of lotus leaves on the lake here are connected together, like pieces of broad and thin emerald, floating lightly on the water.
Shi Mu tapped his toes on the lotus leaf, his body rose and fell a few times, and he found a lotus leaf that was several feet in size and sat down cross-legged.
The lotus leaves here look like ordinary lotus leaves, but in fact they are quite tough. When Shi Mu landed on them, they were very stable without shaking at all.
After sitting firmly, he pinched the magic formula in his hand and silently started the Nine Revolutions Xuan Gong. The small green cauldron on his upper right abdomen lit up, and a large area of skin on his body turned green, looking like wood.
His whole body was surrounded by blue light, and his original injuries began to repair quickly.
After a moment, Shi Mu's eyes suddenly opened, all the green light on his body disappeared, and he stood up from the lotus leaf.
He glanced around and saw that with it as the center, the lotus leaves on the surrounding lake kept trembling, and powerful auras hidden in them began to gradually approach.
More than a hundred feet away to his left, several wide lotus leaves that were originally gathered together shook slightly and spread out in all directions, revealing a huge dark golden animal eye, which released a fierce light.
Right in front of it, about a mile away, circles of circular ripples rippled on the lake, and pitch-black sharp corners slowly protruded from the center of those circular ripples.
A hundred feet to his right, under a black lotus, lay several huge three-legged black toads whose bodies were as black as ink. Their jaws bulged from time to time, but they didn't make any sound. Their pale silver toad eyes stared at him motionlessly.
"There are quite a lot of people coming." Shi Mu withdrew his gaze and consciousness and murmured to himself.
Counting what he saw and those hidden under the water, there were dozens of monsters surrounding him at the moment. This did not include the monsters hovering in the air around him, most of which were exuding...
There are even a few powerful beings at the saint level.
Among these monsters, some should have been frightened away in the fight just now, and some were attracted by the fight just now, but now, without exception, Shi Mu was regarded as an intruder.
He took a deep breath, his body flashed with light, and the True Dragon Lock Golden Armor emerged.
He raised his wrist, and the Ruyi iron rod was held in his hand, lying horizontally by his side.
At this moment, a breeze suddenly blew over from the depths of the lotus pond, and the mist surrounding Shi Mu not only did not dissipate, but became even denser.
The number of monsters surrounding him has also increased a lot, and several of them have even come within twenty or thirty feet of Shi Mu.
Shi Mu's hand holding the long stick tightened a little more, and he was ready to hit it behind him.
At this moment, in the thick fog ahead, a loud and clear cry was heard.
Shi Mu's ears twitched, and his hand swinging the stick hesitated slightly and stopped in mid-air.
Then, a scene that surprised him appeared!
After this sound was heard, the monsters surrounding Shi Mu that were ready to move retreated one after another, as if they were quite afraid of the owner who made this cry.
Just when Shi Mu was about to explore carefully, he saw a surge of thick fog in front of him, and a huge colorful shadow flew out of it.
It was a huge giant bird, with mottled colors on its body and shining light. The aura it conveyed was very powerful, and it was no weaker than the monster beasts that surrounded Shi Mu just now.
A pack of wolves had just left, and another tiger came. Shi Mu smiled helplessly, and suddenly raised the long stick in his hand, and the golden light suddenly shone from the stick.
Shi Mu suddenly took a step forward, raising the long stick above his head, about to swing it down suddenly.
Then I heard the giant colorful bird in front of me suddenly open its mouth wide and spit out human words: "Hey, hey, stone, don't hit it, don't hit it, you can see clearly, it's me, it's me!"
After hearing this, Shi Mu was stunned when he saw a sudden flash of light on the giant colorful bird in front of him. The huge body began to shrink rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a plump colorful parrot.
"Cai'er!" Shi Mu shouted in surprise.
"Of course it's me! Shitou, why did you come here? You want me to die." Cai'er shouted excitedly, flying to Shi Mu's side and landing on his shoulder.
"How did you know I was coming?" Shi Mu raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise.
"Of course, the great monk told me before he left. He said you would be coming here soon, so just let me wait here." Cai'er said.
After hearing this, Shi Mu became more confused. Who was the monk and how did he know that he would come here? Could it be that he deliberately lured him here through Cai'er?
"Cai'er, who is the monk who brought you here?" Shi Mu asked.
"He calls himself Miaokong." Cai'er replied.
"Miaokong? What did this monk Miaokong tell you when he tricked you into coming here?" Shi Mu was startled, asking himself that he had never heard of this name before, and asked again.
"Lied to me? Haha, even with his fat head and big ears, he wants to deceive me, Master Cai. What a joke!" Cai'er raised her head and said with a very unconvinced look.
Shi Mu was speechless for a while, then said: "Then what did he say to you that made you agree to come here with him?"
"He told me that we are destined to meet each other thousands of miles away. He said that he would take me to a place with abundant spiritual power and spiritual materials. He also said that he could meet you there. I don't know why, but I looked at this guy who looked so kind, and then
When I thought about it, there were delicious spiritual materials there, and I could see you, Shitou, and I had nothing to do, so I reluctantly agreed." Cai'er said nonchalantly.
"You bastard, do you know where this place is and you just came here in a daze?" Shi Mu reached out and flicked Cai'er's head and said angrily.
"Ouch, it hurts! It's all the fault of those Ma family members. They said they regard me as a holy bird and insist on practicing some secret technique of Lao Shizi. They also said that I can only go to the Holy Land to see you after I have achieved a certain level of success. Then when will I have to wait? Besides,
, The great monk also said that there is something very important to you in the Tianlian Pond, so I just came here!" Cai'er covered her head with her wings and said a little aggrievedly.
"What?" Shi Mu asked.
Cai'er flipped her wings, stretched out towards Shi Mu's eyes, and took out a golden bead the size of a dragon's eye.
"Well, this is it. The great monk said this is called Tianlianxin." Cai'er said casually.
Shi Mu took the golden bead and looked at it carefully. He found that the golden light on it was restrained. At first glance, he didn't think there was anything strange about it. But if he looked carefully, he could see that there was a line inside the bead.
The golden liquid flows slowly.
The spiritual power contained in that golden liquid made Shi Mu feel secretly frightened.
"The vitality of heaven and earth in this thing is so rich, it's really hard for you to hold back your saliva and not eat it." Shi Mu couldn't help but admire.
After hearing this, Cai'er suddenly shook her head and said regretfully: "The heaven and earth are rich in vitality? Why didn't I notice it? I thought it was just an ordinary bead? Oops, I regret it..."
"By the way, what about the monk?" Shi Mu asked.
"A few days ago, the great monk took me to find this Tianlian Heart and then left. He said that he had some important things to do and asked me to wait for you here. However, I saw that his face and blood were not very good."
Cai'er tilted her head and thought for a while before saying this.
"This place is filled with fog and monsters, and you are alone... No, you are just a bird here, how did you survive for so many days?" Shi Mu asked.
"I was also scared at first, but then I discovered that the monsters here seemed to be afraid of me for some reason. As long as I whistled together, they would all run away obediently. So I stayed here to catch them.
"I think this may be related to the fact that you inherited the power of the sacred birds from the Malong family. Perhaps the aura on your body can naturally suppress these low-level monsters." Shi Mu nodded thoughtfully.
After hearing this, Cai'er was overjoyed. She waved her wings one after another and said, "Are you saying that I have the aura of a king in me?"
After hearing this, Shi Mu felt helpless. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest and a mouthful of blood rushed to his throat.
"Shitou, what's wrong with you?" Cai'er asked hurriedly.
"It's okay, I was a little injured just now. You help me protect the law. I need to do some exercise and adjust my breath." Shi Mu said.
After saying that, Shi Mu sat down cross-legged, the green light on his body lit up again, and the wounds on his body turned alternately into green wood grain, and the injuries began to be repaired quickly.
Cai'er was greatly surprised when she saw the wood grains emerging from Shi Mu's body. She walked around him and kept looking at him.
After a while, Shi Mu's green light disappeared and he stood up from the lotus leaf.
Cai'er immediately flapped her wings and flew to his shoulder, muttering: "Shitou, there were so many wood grains on your body just now. I thought you were going to change your gender and turn into wood."
"Cai'er, is there any safe place nearby?" Shi Mu asked.
"There is a small island ten miles ahead. I have been staying there these days. Come with me." After Cai'er said that, she immediately flapped her wings and turned around to fly deep into the thick fog.
Shi Mu followed Cai'er leisurely with white clouds at his feet.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Shi Mu followed Cai'er and flew over an archipelago of different sizes, landing on a circular floating island with a radius of less than thirty feet.
On the small island, the fog is slightly thinner than on the water. A hill about a hundred feet high stands on it, surrounded by fine white sand and gravel. Among the sand and gravel, there are also some bones and some round shapes buried vaguely.
pebble.
"Is this where you stayed before?" Shi Mu asked.
"This turned out to be the territory of a green python. After I came, the green python ran away with many monsters around it. I took over this island and lived there." Cai'er said nonchalantly.
.
Shi Mu nodded slightly and looked around. There was dense fog all around, and the vague shadows of some other small islands could be vaguely seen. Deep in the thick fog, the strange and vague sound of wind could be heard.
