Chapter 538: Entering the Mountain, the Great Demon King Mu (2)
In the ancient myth of Penglai, there is such a big monster, with the body of a horse and the head of a dolphin. Its whole body is white and has five huge tails falling behind it.
It is extremely powerful. Not only is its body indestructible, it can also control the two completely different forces of fire and water to create its own attack methods.
It is said that in the era when gods and demons danced wildly, Penglai Fairy Island was still connected to the mainland, and this great demon named King Mu was the king within a thousand miles. The only opponents who could compete with him were the famous few.
several.
Xiao Tao Wan and Li Mu consulted various classics and found clues about King Mu in the vast sea of books, so they came to the Qingliu Mountain area and started exploring around it.
You wouldn’t know if you didn’t check, but you would be shocked if you checked. In the past six months, a total of three villages within a radius of 20 miles suffered a night of massacre. All the villagers were killed on the spot, and the death conditions were extremely horrific.
Such a vicious incident failed to attract the attention of the local Dongpenglai officials. After hastily sending a small team to investigate, they came to the conclusion that banditry was at work.
Just when Li Mu and Xiao Momomaru arrived at Qingliu Mountain, another small village happened to be massacred by mysterious forces. Sensing that there was definitely something fishy in it, the two of them spied on the crime scene that night.
The ruins were broken, blood flowed everywhere, and torn pieces of human tissue were everywhere. The hell-like scene made even Li Mu, who had experienced many battles, take a breath, and Xiao Tao Wan even retched for a long time before he could recover.
Come on.
Although the air was filled with an intolerable smell of blood, the two people who had adjusted quickly threw themselves into the search. The scene was so well preserved that Li Mu suspected that the official investigation team from Dong Penglai had not come at all.
Pass.
After two hours of arduous searching, Li Mu and the others finally discovered an important clue. Under a hill made of corpses in the center of the village, a strange blood pattern was clearly visible.
Although the pattern is made of blood, it is self-contained. No matter how hard you try to erase it, it will appear to be engraved on the ground, emitting a strange red light under the moonlight.
When Xiao Taowan was at a loss to do anything about it, Li Mu found the description of this pattern from the treasure house of knowledge inherited by the Fuxi clan. It was exactly the formation created by the evil organization known as the Mu King Sect more than a thousand years ago.
.
This organization does all kinds of evil. It once caused a bloody storm in the fairy world for a period of time, but it suddenly disappeared soon. The sect's belief is the ancient demon known as King Mu.
"If Lao Fang were here, we wouldn't need to go into this mountain to look for clues. Lao Fang knows, as I mentioned to you before, we have a life-long friendship. He has a blood talent that can pass through the blood.
Get information."
Qingliu Mountain is very big. After Li Mu and Xiao Taowan entered the mountain early in the morning, they began to look for clues about King Mu's religion along the way. While walking on the cold mountain road, they had time to chat.
The Fuxi clan does not have a deep understanding of King Mu's religion. They only know that these cultists believe that they can use special evil formations to obtain King Mu's power, but the equivalent cost is the lives of living people. They even claim in their teachings that
When the "tribute" reaches a certain amount, King Mu can be resurrected.
Of course, this almost impossible "exaggeration" did not attract many people's attention. As this sect disappeared, the evil formation was also buried in the dust of history.
"There is a prerequisite for the formation of King Mu's religion to be activated, which is the location of the altar. Those villages that were massacred will concentrate the power of their 'tributes' on the nearby altar, in exchange for the power of the so-called King Mu."
Within a hundred miles, the only enemy that can hide the aura of the formation is Qingliu Mountain, so the altar is most likely to be in this deep mountain, but the specific location can only be found by the two of them through luck.
"What do you think this 'blood' organization plans to do by collecting the power of so many ancient demons? Is it just to create a few warriors who can exert the power of the demon by killing so many people and deploying the plan for so long?
"
Komomomaru split the bushes in front of him with his sword. The higher up the Qingliu Mountain, the denser the vegetation became. If he wanted to speed up, he had to open a road manually.
"There is a possibility. When I first set foot on the path to immortality, I encountered one of their beast trainers. He was able to let the soul of the monster beast control his body to fight. I am afraid that the fight this time will be similar.
."
The idea put forward by Xiao Taowan immediately reminded Li Mu of the killer from the Blood Fiend Camp he encountered outside Qinglan City. Not only was he an extinct beast tamer, but he also sacrificed his body to the Ice Snake in the end, almost killing someone who had just traveled through time.
When he came, he immediately burped.
Time flew by so fast, and the sun and moon changed in the blink of an eye. When night fell on Qingliu Mountain, Li Mu and Li Mu had no choice but to find a nearby cave to camp, planning to wait until dawn before continuing the search.
The bonfire was burning, half leaning against the cave wall, Xiao Tao Wan's face was flushed, the girl had fallen into a deep sleep after a day's fatigue, but Li Mu was not sleepy, sitting at the entrance of the cave looking at the vast sea of trees below the mountain.
"Since being promoted to the Infinite Realm, the bonus effect of talent on the body has become more obvious, and even the time needed to sleep has decreased."
Li Mu, muttering to himself, drank up the steaming tea in his hand and thought about whether to let the little monkey out to have some fun. After all, the little guy had been nesting in the simulated space for a long time, and he was probably almost exhausted.
"Well? Is there light?"
Suddenly, a firelight lit up in the sea of trees in the distance. Although it was fleeting, it happened to be seen by Li Mu. He quickly stood up and activated the Tiansheng Jue to maximize his vision.
I saw a wisp of blue smoke rising from the dark mountains, which was the sign that someone had just lit a bonfire.
Except for a few villages that have been "annihilated" in Qingliu Mountain, no one has lived here for a long time. Due to the steep terrain, no hunters or people who rely on herbs to make a living will enter the mountain, let alone light a fire and spend the night.
Based on the information that had been gathered long ago, the scene in front of us gave rise to the possibility that the person who lit the bonfire in the distance and then extinguished it immediately must be doing something in the deep mountains that he did not want others to know about.
"Good guy, you are lucky, go and check it out quickly, Xiaopi, come out, let's go and check it out together, but remember, there is no fight today, we are just checking from a distance, and after confirming, come back and discuss countermeasures with Miss Tao
."
Li Mu, who was gearing up, directly summoned the little monkey from the bionic space. As expected, the little guy was almost bored, and he babbling to express his dissatisfaction as soon as he appeared.
Li Mu, who had no intention of paying attention to the little monkey's complaints, threw it on his shoulder, and then sealed its chattering mouth with a magic pill.
Then he moved his feet and flew towards the direction where the fire appeared. At this time, the moon over Qingliu Mountain just crossed a strange blood red streak.
