Half a year later, in a remote mountain road in the barren mountains outside Fengcheng.

There was a torrential rain in the air, and the water droplets the size of beans smashed to the ground, and bursts of muffled thunder came from time to time in the semi-dark clouds, and lightning flashed wildly.

A figure was running like a leopard in the heavy rain, and with every step, it jumped five or six steps away from a normal person, and in the blink of an eye, it turned over a small hill nearby, and directly submerged into a dense forest next to the mountain.

A moment later, a cold light suddenly flowed around the figure.

There was a loud rumbling sound, and more than a dozen big trees fell down from the middle after the figure flashed.

At this moment, a huge lightning bolt appeared in the nearby sky, and the figure was clearly reflected, it was actually a person wearing a straw hat and a robe.

The man suddenly disappeared into the darkness as the trees shook.

An hour later.

The gate of a seemingly dilapidated mountain temple was opened with a "bang", and then heavy footsteps sounded, and a figure carrying a huge object on his shoulders walked in with a large stream of wind and rain.

The two people who were originally surrounded by a bonfire in the main hall of the mountain temple looked at the people who came, dumbfounded.

"Hey, there's a guest, and you used my firewood?"

The man threw the things he was carrying on his shoulders to the ground, shook the rain on his clothes, and asked unhurriedly.

The first two people in the main hall were a man and a woman.

The male is in his forties, although his appearance is elegant, but his face is full of weather, and the female is only fourteen or fifteen years old, although she is white and pure, delicate and abnormal, but there is a large cyan birthmark on her forehead, which destroys the original pretty face.

"Ah, it turns out that the firewood in the temple is all the little brother's belongings. I didn't know it before, and I thought it was an ownerless thing, plus I got wet with my clothes before, so I used it with the little girl first. However, little brother, don't worry, the old man will compensate for these firewoods. The middle-aged man stood up and said apologetically, but his eyes swept to the giant object that was thrown to the ground, and his face still couldn't help but show a hint of fear.

It turned out to be a hundred-pound brown-haired wild boar, with rolled eyes, blood at the corners of his mouth, and two exposed giant fangs that were broken open, as if he had been dead for some time.

"Since these firewood have been cut down, they are used for use, so why talk about any money!" The figure took a few steps forward, revealing a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a single knife in the light of the bonfire, it was Shi Mu.

"Zhong doesn't know what to say, thank you so much, little brother. The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and thanked him with a smile on his face, before sitting back by the campfire and comforting the girl next to him in a low voice.

The girl was wearing a cyan dress, and she also secretly glanced at Shi Mu, but she didn't say anything, and she looked quite quiet.

At this time, Shi Mu took off the single knife on his back, and then took off the coat on his body, revealing a thick black iron armor, which tightly wrapped the upper half of his body, only exposing his neck and a pair of arms.

"Hey, this is Wujia?" After the middle-aged man finished talking with his daughter, he was immediately surprised when he saw the black armor on Shi Mu's body.

"Your Excellency knows this A?" Shi Mu was a little surprised when he heard this.

"Hehe, don't hide it, little brother, I have seen a blacksmith master build this armor before, and I am very impressed, so I can recognize it at a glance. I don't know how many catties of armor this armor is? Zhong heard the blacksmith master say that although this black armor can be worn on the body, it is extremely fragile and has almost no defensive power, and the only function of making it is that it can exercise the body of the warrior by virtue of its heavy weight. The middle-aged man replied with a smile.

"I don't have a few pounds of black armor, it's too heavy, and I can't wear it at all. Shi Mu said vaguely, and then clasped the side of the black armor on his body with ten fingers and suddenly forced.

With a "click", the black armor split into two pieces out of thin air and was thrown to the ground by Shi Mu casually.

"Boom" and "boom" twice, the ground trembled slightly, and the middle-aged man saw this, and his eyelids jumped twice.

This kind of weight, I'm afraid it should be more than five or six hundred catties, could it be that this young man is a humanoid beast, otherwise how can he wear this thing and move freely. It seems that the other party is not very old, but his physical body is very strong, and the technique of quenching the body will definitely not be low.

Shi Mu untied the shackles of the black armor, and the whole person seemed to be relaxed, and then picked up one hand, and with a few snorts, he cut off the two front legs of the wild boar, and then shook his wrist again, and suddenly a cold light surrounded a pig's leg, and in a blink of an eye, his fur was shaved clean.

Then, the boy took out a small bottle from his bosom, poured some white powder into the pork leg, and walked a few steps to the campfire, and barbecued it on his own.

A moment later, a thick smell of meat wafted over the entire temple.

The father and daughter on the other side of the campfire had already taken out a bag of dry food and shared it with each other, but after the girl smelled the aroma of the barbecue, she looked at the pork leg that had been bubbling with oil, and couldn't help swallowing her saliva, but immediately found out that something was wrong with it, and her face turned red again, and she hung her head.

Seeing this, Shi Mu smiled slightly, and suddenly handed the pork leg that had been roasted nearly half to the opposite side.

"How embarrassing is this, we have already used the little brother's firewood, and then share the words of this barbecue......" The middle-aged man was overjoyed when he saw this, his mouth was modest, but he took the barbecue unceremoniously with both hands.

"Father......" The girl next to her saw this, but she was a little embarrassed, and screamed a little coquettishly.

"Don't you see there's more barbecue over there? This little brother is so skilled, he doesn't think he cares about this bit of meat. The middle-aged man replied to the girl with a smile.

"Father, you really are. Thank you, this son. The girl still couldn't help complaining about her father, and after hesitating for a moment, she blushed and thanked Shi Mu.

"It's okay, the wild boar I hunted this time is full of portions, and I can't eat it all. Shi Mu had already stripped the other pork leg of the skin, and after walking back a few steps, he replied with a smile.

"That's right, little brother. This place should not be far from Fengcheng. My father and daughter came from Yingcheng to join their relatives, but they didn't expect to encounter heavy rain on the way and get lost in the mountains, so they came here by mistake. The middle-aged man hurriedly tore off a piece of barbecue, handed it to his daughter, and asked Shi Mu about it.

"I see, I said that this temple is so desolate, how can there be people at such a late hour. Uncle Zhong rest assured, this is not far from Fengcheng, from the gate mountain road all the way to the east for more than ten miles, you can see the west gate of Fengcheng. Shi Mu replied a little suddenly, without thinking.

"Great. Xiu'er, did you hear that, we can go to Fengcheng tomorrow, and you will soon become the daughter-in-law of the Wu family. After hearing this, the middle-aged man suddenly said to the girl with great joy.

"Father, what are you talking nonsense, we are in this situation now, and I am so ugly, whether people will admit this marriage is also a matter of two words. When the girl heard her father mention her marriage, she was ashamed.

"Where is my daughter ugly, in the eyes of her father, she has always been Bing Xue smart! Hmph, as for our family falling to this point, it has something to do with the Wu family. Xiu'er, you don't need to ask, there will be your father and the Wu family to mention this matter at that time. The middle-aged man listened to the girl's words, but he didn't think so.

When Shi Mu heard this, his heart moved.

Could it be the "Wu family" in Fengcheng that is only under the influence of the Jin family? However, the father and daughter are thin and weak, and they should not be martial artists.

Just when the middle-aged man, father and daughter were talking in a low voice, and Shi Mu continued to roast in silence, suddenly a terrible howl came from a distance, and then a rumbling sounded, and in a blink of an eye, from far to near, it seemed that something huge was coming straight to this ruined temple.

"What is this? Could it be a beast on the mountain?" the middle-aged man was startled, immediately stood up, and took out a short sword that flashed with cold light from his body, and blocked it in front of the girl with a frightened face.

But judging from his trembling legs, I am afraid that he is powerless.

"Be careful, it's definitely not a beast, at least not a beast in the mountains, otherwise I wouldn't have heard this howl. ”

Shi Mu jumped the single knife next to the bonfire with one foot, grabbed the handle of the knife, stared at the door, and said with a full body of anger.

You must know that he has often come here to hunt all kinds of beasts in the past six months, not for fun, on the one hand, to practice the art of quenching the body, and on the other hand, to gain actual combat experience in sword and boxing.

Although there are not many powerful beasts in this mountain, there are no less than a hundred wild wolves and wild boars that have died in Shi Mu's hands during this time, so that he has long been experienced in actual combat combat, and it is by no means comparable to ordinary martial arts who have never seen blood.

Although the middle-aged man is not proficient in martial arts, he still has some eyesight, and after seeing Shi Mu's calmness, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved, but he still protected the girl behind him.

There was a loud "boom".

The temple door, which was already in tatters, suddenly burst open from the outside in, and in the splash of countless broken wood, a darkened humanoid monster suddenly rushed into the main hall.

"This ...... Damn, how can this appear here, what are the troops of Fengcheng doing to eat, it's over, we're dead. The middle-aged man saw the appearance of the humanoid monster clearly, but he almost fainted on the spot.

Corpse?

Shi Mu stared at the humanoid monster opposite, and his scalp also went numb!

The monster in front of him was two feet tall, his facial features were blurred with flesh and blood, leaving only two huge blood holes in his eyes, and a layer of thick black bristles on his body, and from time to time drops of green liquid fell from his body, exuding an unpleasant smell that made people want to vomit.
