Chapter 539: Entering the Mountain, the Great Demon King Mu (3)
Traveling through the jungle is something that Li Mu and Xiaopi are very familiar with.
One person and one monkey took advantage of the cover of the night to move back and forth between the branches, and soon arrived at the location where the fire suddenly appeared.
After carefully confirming that no one was around, Li Mu turned over and landed in front of a pile of charcoal.
The person who lit the fire was obviously in a hurry and just stepped on it casually to extinguish the open flame. At this time, there were still a few sparks making crackling sounds in the pile of firewood.
"It's well hidden, but you can still feel the vague aura. It's really disgusting. Xiaopi, let's catch up and take a look."
Following the faint breath, Li Mu and the little monkey tracked all the way. The other party may also know that the campfire just exposed a flaw, so he is more cautious. If it weren't for the powerful perception ability provided by Tiansheng Jue, he would not lose his target in the forest.
It's really not an easy thing.
"Well? They stopped. Be careful. Let's go around from this way."
Realizing that the target had stopped advancing, Li Mu quickly stopped and kept a distance of about three hundred steps. He led the little monkey up a circuitous route and found a commanding height with an excellent view. Then he calmed down and observed.
understand the other party’s situation.
I saw four or five men in black robes carrying heavy objects in the cold mountain stream. Then I looked carefully in the moonlight and discovered that they were huge earthen jars.
These jars are as tall as half a person, and they are extremely heavy. Considering that everyone in black robe has a cultivation level in the Dan Formation realm, two people need to help each other to barely lift them off the ground.
"Don't worry, these are all little guys, not even in the Infant Transformation Realm. They are probably doing preliminary preparations. We won't know what they want to do until the big shots come."
Suppressing the little monkey who was eager to take credit, Li Mu took out the jade magic weapon and sent a message to Xiao Tao Wan, briefly describing his current location and situation, and asking him to come here to join him.
Then one person and one monkey lurked in the shadows, quietly watching the man in black robe continue to work.
After about half a stick of incense, Xiao Tao Wan rushed to Li Mu's position, patted the little monkey on the head with some surprise, and then entered the surveillance state together.
Another hour passed, and the man in black robes in the mountain stream finally finished his work. Hundreds of earthen jars were arranged in an orderly manner. From Li Mu's perspective, they could clearly see that they were painted.
A giant pattern.
"Isn't this the formation pattern of King Mu's religion? Do they want to set up an altar here? What exactly are contained in these jars?" The strange scene in front of him made Xiaomomoru inexplicably nervous. As a Penglai native, he was very interested in mythology.
The ancient monsters in the game are more or less frightening.
In fact, even now, she doesn't completely believe that the "Blood" organization can really summon the so-called great demons, or their power. After all, no one has ever really provided evidence of the existence of these great demons.
"No matter what's inside, it's not something good. Be careful, someone's coming again."
Along with the sound of breaking through the air, five figures descended from the sky one after another and landed in front of the large array of earthenware jars. The man in black robe who was originally responsible for transporting them immediately knelt on the ground and saluted the newcomers.
"Flying in the sky, five immeasurable realms!"
Li Mu and Xiao Taowan were shocked. Fortunately, they didn't listen to the little monkey and take action first, otherwise they would never have seen such a big scene.
Unexpectedly, what shocked them was not over yet. Under the gaze of the two people, five black-robed men in the Infinite Realm raised their hands in a certain direction at the same time. Then a crack in the blue space slowly appeared, and an extremely graceful figure stepped out of it.
Step out.
"Ah! It's her!"
Li Mu almost screamed out in surprise, because the person whose true face was revealed in the moonlight was none other than the nightmare that was fighting for his life in Honda City some time ago, one of the four kings of the "Blood" organization.
But just when his head was buzzing, another electronic prompt suddenly came to mind, causing Li Mu's already insufficient brain cells to explode instantly.
"The side mission series starts, defeats the ancient Penglai demon, mission reward, opens the beast character talent scroll, mission progress (0/5)."
The multi-faceted information caused Li Mu to lose his ability to speak in an instant. It was Xiao Momomaru who kept pulling at the corner of his clothes, and he finally regained his breath.
"Don't be messy, don't be messy, calm down, and let's first see what the side mission series means."
Li Mu, who forced himself to deal with one thing at a time, first connected his consciousness to the simulation system. Lines of text appeared quickly on the task interface, which was exactly what the electronic prompt said.
The content of the mission is very easy to understand. It is to defeat the ancient monster in Penglai mythology. This also reflects from the side the true purpose of a series of strange actions of the "Blood" organization, which is to summon these large ferocious beasts in mythology.
This mission is a series of missions, just like the search for the sacred objects of the three tribes. The system also thoughtfully marks the progress of the mission. 0/5 means that a total of five ancient monsters will be summoned.
Li Mu defeats them one by one, and the mission progress will be updated. These may not surprise Li Mu to the point of losing his ability to think. After all, this is not the first time he has seen the legendary monster.
The little monkey next to him is one of them. Speaking of which, Zhu Yan can also be regarded as a character in mythology. His peak strength is no worse than that of the nine-tailed demon fox or King Mu.
What really made Li Mu read the text explanation a dozen times before he dared to believe that he was not dreaming was the reward of the mission, which was to open the beast-character talent scroll.
As one of the systems that helped him greatly among all simulation systems, the talent system was absolutely unparalleled. It essentially turned a playboy from a wealthy family who had not practiced in ten years into a genius monk.
Whether it is basic talents such as immortal body, spirituality and potential, or active and passive skills such as knowing blow, Fudo Myooh and Three Flowers, they all played an extremely important role in Li Mu's path to immortality.
It is no exaggeration to say that without the talent system, he would never have reached such heights today. At the age of more than 20 years old, he would be able to reach the peak of the Infinite Realm.
The biggest secret of the talent system is that there are a total of three rolls of parchment, only one of which has been opened, and the contents of the other two volumes are not even known.
And now the reward for the branch series mission is to open another volume of talent, the Beast Scroll talent.
"The talent of the Immortal Scroll is designed for human immortal cultivators. The talent of the Beast Scroll is designed for monsters? Then what will happen after I learn it? Will I have the talent of monsters? Or can I give it to children?
Use Pi to take its strength to a higher level?"
Li Mu's mind was filled with questions, but now was not the best time. He had to click the confirmation button to accept the task and quickly switched his consciousness back to the real world.
At this time, the Nightmare King had already begun his "practice". With her as the center of the circle, a vast force began to spread along the large array of clay jars. The other five black-robed men in the Infinite Realm were standing in the corners of the array.
Forming the pattern of a five-pointed star.
The remaining low-level men in black robes obviously did not have the ability to participate. They scattered a hundred steps away from the formation, knelt down quietly on the ground, and muttered words, as if they were praying in some kind of ritual.
"What should we do? They are trying to summon King Mu. Once they succeed, no one can stop a monster of this level. Their ritual must be destroyed."
