One day more than a month later.

It was midday, and the sun was blazing.

There are traces of streams and springs that once flowed in the bare mountains, but now for some unknown reason, they have all dried up, and the bones of some animals can be seen from time to time.

The most conspicuous thing is the black cave along the way, like a scar, looking at the traces of the cave entrance, it should be caused by man, and it has been some years.

At this moment, a tall figure was slowly coming out from the depths of the mountain range from far and near.

The person who came was dressed in a black shirt, his exposed skin was bronzed, his facial features were well-defined, his eyes were shining, his black hair was tied at random, and his tail was thrown upwards like a black torrent, plus a pair of knives and sticks crossed behind his back, and a chain stone around his waist at random, giving people a wild feeling full of wildness.

This person is Shi Mu.

After killing Zagu, he also tried to ask the parrot to find the traces of Jin Xiaochai and the others, but Jin Xiaochai and the others seemed to have evaporated from the world, and there was no trace of them.

So he had to go on the road alone, but fortunately with the detailed map guidance of Zagu, for more than a month, except for some fierce beast attacks, he did not encounter any danger.

He traveled during the day, and at night when there was no moon, he summoned Yan Luo and asked him to accompany him to practice magic and martial arts, and now he is more and more comfortable in the skills of facing the enemy.

Suddenly, he stopped at the top of a hill, and without his command, the parrot flew off his shoulder and into the blue sky.

Speaking of which, according to the map, he had left the Barbarian Wasteland two days ago and entered the Central Continent area.

But along the way, it is still a barren and desolate place, not much different from the barbarian wasteland.

This was very different from the scene he had imagined in the middle of the continent where the aura of heaven and earth was strong, and he almost thought that something was wrong with Zagu's map.

After a moment, Shi Mu readjusted his direction. Footsteps moved down the mountain.

Three days later.

Shi Mu appeared outside a border town.

This town is built on the mountain, covering a wide area, and it is the "Linshan Town" marked on the map.

Linshan Town is backed by a vast mountain with steep and high elevation, hence its name.

There are many artificially dug aqueducts around the town. It must have been a fertile land with plenty of water, but now the ditches seem to have dried up for a long time, and the land has begun to turn desertified and barren.

"Stone, we can finally have a big meal!" Cai'er looked at the town in front of her with bright eyes. Constantly flapping his wings and shouting.

Shi Mu didn't speak, his body moved, and he walked towards the town.

He soon found that most of the buildings in the town were very beautifully built, but strangely enough, the streets of a small town in Nuoda were sparsely populated, there were no pedestrians, and even the restaurants and restaurants along the street had no customers, which seemed a little depressed.

Just as he was surprised, there was a noisy cry ahead.

Shi Mu's heart moved. Walking briskly forward, after turning a street corner, I immediately saw the source of the sound.

Four men in animal robes were shouting and scolding, and at the same time, with spears in their hands, they were whipping a dozen young men with their hands tied, urging them to move forward.

Most of these young men had resentment on their faces, but they didn't dare to say anything, just buried their heads and moved forward.

Around them, dozens of women, children and elderly people were kneeling on the ground and pleading. Crying.

These four beast-robed people are all acquired martial artists, and three of them are mid-stage cultivators, and the middle-aged man in the triangular eye who leads them has a late-stage realm.

From the sound of crying and pleading. Shi Mu vaguely heard some clues.

These warriors seem to have come to the town to arrest people and mine.

"To the messenger, please stay!"

At this moment, a white-haired old man, supported by a thin man, hurried past Shi Mu.

The triangular-eyed man's face sank, and he turned his head to look at the gray-haired old man. His face was full of impatience.

"To the messenger, please raise your noble hand and let them go, there are not many young men left in this town, if they go again, the rest of the town, old and young, I am afraid they will all starve to death." The white-haired old mayor pointed to the young man who was tied up, and said in a pleading tone.

"Old thing, we have already paid this reward twice, and we will not lose a cent of you, and now the pressure is tight, I must take these people!" said the triangular-eyed man.

"I don't want your money, give me back my husband!"

"Don't take my son!"

......

The white-haired old mayor begged again, and the old and weak women around him were also crying.

The triangular-eyed man was unmoved, pushing away the women who were hugging his thighs, while urging the others to hurry up and lead people on the road.

"Lord Xiang, there's someone in the way!" said one of the beast-robed men.

The triangular-eyed man was stunned and looked up.

I saw a man tall and a young man in black shirt with a parrot standing on his shoulder, who appeared on the road of several people at some point, looking at him expressionlessly, it was Shi Mu.

The white-haired old mayor looked at Shi Mu in astonishment, the old, weak, sick and disabled who knelt on the ground, and the tied up young man with an angry face were also a little stunned.

"Your Excellency looks like you're from outside, right?" the triangular-eyed man looked at Shi Mu and asked tentatively.

"Let them go!" Shi Mu didn't speak, but the parrot on his shoulder spoke.

"I advise Your Excellency to ignore the affairs of our Beast Mountain Sect and be careful of getting into trouble. The triangular-eyed man was stunned, then the corners of his eyes twitched, and his tone raised a few points.

"Get out!" Shi Mu remained motionless and said:

"Look for death!"

The triangular-eyed man was furious, and when he shook the spear in his hand, a burst of blue light immediately lit up on the gun, and the head of the spear trembled rapidly.

The cyan cold light at the head of the spear flickered strangely in the three-foot space, and soon formed a huge cyan wolf head, and the triangular eyed man's body pounced forward, and the wolf head bit Shi Mu.

The three beast-robed men behind him also pounced on Shi Mu, and the spears in their hands trembled sharply, and soon formed three small wolf heads, which also pounced on Shi Mu.

The distance between the two was already close, and in the blink of an eye, the four cyan wolf heads had already arrived in front of Shi Mu with a chill.

Shi Mu's lips moved slightly when the tip of the spear was less than a few feet away from him, and a white light emanated from his hand. In an instant, it condensed into a shell-like moon-white shield outside the body, and countless white runes circulated endlessly on the shield.

"Boom" burst with a bang!

The four ruthless heads collided with the moon-white shield, and immediately burst open, and dozens of cold rays continued to hit the shield. The waves of air dispersed in all directions.

The moon-white shield was unfazed.

Before the four of them could make other moves, Shi Mukou opened his mouth, and four streams of white qi shot out, and they struck towards the chests of the four people in a flash.

This is the latest use of the Qi Explosion Technique that he has explored along the way, after accumulating a certain amount of mana in his body. It can spew out several white gas attacks in one go.

With the improvement of the realm of the Yun Shen Technique, the power of the Qi Explosion Technique has also increased greatly, and when it hits with all its strength, it is no longer weaker than the full force of an ordinary Acquired Great Perfection martial artist.

However, Shi Mu obviously did not exert his full strength.

"Woo woo!"

Because the three beast-robed men were too close, they were directly hit by the white qi in their chests, and a wave of white qi erupted, and their bodies flew out upside down, their chests and clothes were completely ruined, and their flesh and blood were blurred.

The faces of the three were pale, and the qi and blood in their bodies were surging. I couldn't get up for a while.

The triangular-eyed man slammed the spear in his hand in time, and the white gas burst on the body of the gun, and a huge force surged, causing him to retreat three or four steps in a row, which dissolved the impact of the qi wave.

"Spirit Rank Warlock!" his face changed.

As soon as the words fell, a cloud of white gas **** came out of Shi Mu's hand, and it arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye.

Just when the triangular-eyed man wanted to use the spear in his hand to block the attack, the white qi suddenly flashed, turning into a white qi chain that was about to be long, and tied him up in a strong knot.

With the power of the gas ring pile today. It is an ordinary early innate martial artist, if he is caught off guard, he can also tie up two or three breaths, and it is naturally more than enough to deal with the acquired martial artist.

"Stone. Well done! Beat them to death. "The parrot flapped its wings and screamed.

Shi Mu glanced at it, didn't look at the four beast-robed warriors, turned his head and said directly to the old and weak women:

"Release your family and you can go home. ”

The young man and his family, who were stunned just now, heard this. Immediately cried with joy, and many people dragged their families forward to kowtow to Shi Mu.

There was a lot of commotion, which made Shi Mu a little at a loss for a while.

At this moment, the qi chain on the triangular-eyed man not far away had disappeared, and he got up as soon as he turned over.

The other three beast-robed warriors also struggled to stand up at this time, and moved closer to the triangular-eyed man.

Many young and weak women found out and immediately retreated behind Shi Mu in horror.

"If you dare to meddle in the affairs of our Beast Mountain Sect, don't leave if you have a kind!" The triangular-eyed man stared at Shi Mu with his eyes fixed on him, and said.

"Get out!"

Shi Mu frowned, and before he could speak, the parrot on his shoulder was already holding his chest up, and he said with arrogance.

Seeing Shi Mu's eyes swept over coldly, the triangular-eyed man hurriedly turned around and left, and the three blue-robed warriors also fled.

Seeing that the other party had fled, after the rescued Qingzhuang and his family thanked him again, he gradually dispersed from Shi Mu's side.

"The old man is Liu Dou, the mayor of Linshan Town, who dares to ask the righteous man his name, and today's matter is thanks to the help of the righteous man. The white-haired old mayor stepped forward and saluted Shi Mu.

But there was not much joy in his words, and he still seemed worried.

"In Shimu, I just passed through Guizhen on the way to travel. As soon as Shi Mu stretched out his hand, he stopped the old mayor's salute.

"Shi Yishi, I see that you are in the dust, you must not have eaten yet. There is a restaurant in the old man's house, if you don't dislike it, how about going with you?" the old mayor invited.

"Okay, great! Stone, Cai'er is dying of hunger. The parrot flapped its wings and cheered.

Shi Mu flicked the parrot's skull with his fingers, then nodded at the old mayor and agreed.

The old mayor immediately turned around and walked in the direction he had come from, and Shi Mu walked side by side with him unhurriedly.
