"The dense forest contains more than clear, and the distant peaks are hidden and semi-regular. ”

It's about a place called "Smoke Forest" near the middle of the Guwu Continent.

This forest is nearly thousands of miles long, the terrain is extremely vast and the scenery is magnificent, because the trees are dense and contain more water vapor, so it is surrounded by a relatively thick water mist all year round.

Strangely enough, there is an extremely majestic and towering lonely mountain in the depths of the dense forest, whenever the morning sun rises, when the sun shines on the clouds and mist surrounding the lonely mountain and the water mist of the dense forest, it will reflect a hazy red glow, which looks like a fairyland.

The ordinary people who live nearby often go into the smoke forest to hunt and pick wild fruits, because their inner vision is not wide, and the surrounding scenery is extremely similar, resulting in people often accidentally getting lost in the dense forest, but they will always come out inexplicably and unscathed.

After those who lost their way came out, they all swore that they had met people like immortals in it, so Yanxia Forest was also called "Yuxian Forest" by the locals.

If a spirit array master who is proficient in the way of formation comes to the Smoke Forest, he will find that this place is actually shrouded in a super-large spirit array that contains multiple effects such as confusion and sleepiness.

Through the fog generated by the formation and the trees used as cover on the periphery, you will find that there is an extremely magnificent super-large town inside, which is the headquarters of the Ancient Martial Alliance-Ancient Martial City.

At that time, the Guwu League continued to expand because of the continuous increase in numbers, and finally built a large city that stretched hundreds of miles, but even so, it still could not meet the needs of the Guwu League.

Because of the establishment of various local alliances later, a large number of people were diverted out, and many places in the city were idle, so the high-level of the Guwu League set up an inner city in the city again.

All the key areas have been moved to the inner city, and the outer city has become a fortress with countless various protective formations, and its defensive strength is difficult to break through even if it is caused by the powerful ninth-order desolate beasts, which can be called one of the few places with the strongest defensive power on the ancient martial continent.

As the sun rises in the east, the sky is full of red glow.

Located in the teleportation area on the north side of the inner city of Guwu City, one of the teleportation arrays flashed with strange light, and the surrounding space was torn apart after a rapid fluctuation, and an obese figure appeared in the array.

"Whew...... Every time I move and teleport, it's still so uncomfortable!" shopkeeper Meng wiped the sweat from his forehead, and shook his slightly dizzy head.

As soon as the person in charge of this area saw the shopkeeper Meng, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Old Meng, you are back!"

"Hmm. Shopkeeper Meng walked out of the teleportation array and waved his hand at the other party, signaling that there was no need to be polite: "Is the alliance leader still in retreat?"

"Yes! The leader of the alliance is still in retreat, and it is the turn of the three elders in the alliance to take charge now! The guard still replied respectfully, not slacking off in the slightest because of the actions of the shopkeeper Meng.

"Okay, okay, don't always salute at every turn, you all know that the old man doesn't pay attention to these red tapes! I came back this time because I have some personal matters to deal with, so I don't need to inform the three elders, you are busy with yours." ”

"Yes!"

With a wave of his hand indifferently, Shopkeeper Meng walked briskly towards a tall building in the city, and the guard retreated to his original position, looking at Shopkeeper Meng's back with respect in his eyes.

In front of the tall building, there was a chaise longue at the door, and on the recliner there was an old man with a very ordinary-looking face and crane hair who was sleeping soundly.

"Elder Du, Peng Hai greets you!"

Shopkeeper Meng saw the sleeping old man, with a look of admiration on his face, as if he was afraid of disturbing the old man's rest, he hesitated for a while, and then gritted his teeth and stood in front of the old man and bowed, his tone was full of respect.

"Oh, it's little Mencius, why do you have so many courtesies with me. By the way, you're not there...... Why did you come back suddenly? I haven't heard of a big event in the alliance!" The old man known as Du Lao slowly opened his eyes, and when he looked up and saw the shopkeeper Meng, a smile appeared on his face, and he said happily.

"Hehe, Peng Hai, it's not like I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you, so I'm going to see you. It's really a sin and a sin to disturb your old rest!" Facing Du Lao, the rare hippie smile of the shopkeeper Meng rose, and with his big round face, it was inexplicably a little funny.

"You kid don't take good words to fool me, if you think about how I won't come back to see me for three or four years, get out of the way!"

Du Lao stretched out his leg and kicked the shopkeeper Meng, but the shopkeeper Meng had no intention of dodging, allowing Du Lao to leave a dusty footprint on him, still smiling, as if it was a very happy thing to be beaten and scolded by the old man.

"Oh! How dare I deceive you, I really miss you, really, more than real gold! I also brought a jar of your favorite seventy-year-old Three Immortals Brew back to honor you, and you still treated me like this!"

"Seventy years of Three Immortals!"

Du Lao's eyes lit up and he sat up violently, his body inadvertently revealed a trace of powerful momentum, he didn't make any moves, but the shopkeeper Meng only felt that his hand was light, and the wine jar had unconsciously come to the old man's hands.

Couldn't wait to lift the lid, a smell mixed with rich vitality escaped from the wine, Du Lao leaned in front of the wine jar and sniffed it fiercely, and then took a sip of the wine in the jar, and immediately showed a fascinated expression.

"Haha, good wine! Good wine! It's a pity that it's not a hundred years old, otherwise it would be even more mellow! No, I have to hide it well, if those old guys see it, I have to come over and get a piece of the pie!"

The wine jar flashed and disappeared into Du Lao's hands, and Shopkeeper Meng couldn't help laughing when he saw Du Lao's vigilant look around like a thief.

"Count you kid with a heart!Say, what's the matter with coming back this time?" Du Lao glared at the shopkeeper Meng fiercely, his body was full of momentum, and he lazily lay back on the recliner, and became an ordinary old man in an instant.

"Elder Du, I have made some new discoveries about that matter, but I am not sure for the time being, so I am in a hurry to come back to check it, and I will tell you in detail after I find the information in the archive building. Shopkeeper Meng put away his smile, his face became serious, and he leaned into Du Lao's ear and said softly.

"Oh!" Du Lao's eyes flashed, his expression became solemn, and he waved his hand towards the shopkeeper Meng: "Go in! I'll wait for you here!"

"Okay!" Shopkeeper Meng nodded in response, walked to the front of the collection building and pushed the door in.

As the door closed, Du Lao gently rocked the chaise longue and looked at the sky, his slightly squinted eyes full of anticipation and remembrance: "It's been thousands of years, after so many generations of hard searching, have you finally made a new discovery? Alas, I hope we can really find the exact news this time! We have been silent for too long, too long......"

The sky is bright, in the simple courtyard in the west of the ancient Thai city.

The three of Muyang were ready to go at this time, and they each carried a big bag to hide people's eyes, and strode towards the south city gate.

Out of the south gate, the three of them ran straight to the south, but they did not choose to take the main road, but went directly into the forest the same way they came.

According to Mu Yang's thoughts, it was not enough to get the honey of the Flame Tail Bee to draw out the Purple Eye Violent Bear, he was going to hunt a few more second-order low-grade desolate beasts, and use their desolate elements to refine the mortal-level fourth-grade Gathering Breath Pill with the effect of concealing aura, so as to increase the success rate.

On the way here, they encountered many desolate beasts, first-class, second-grade and even third-grade beasts, and when they found the second- and third-grade desolate beasts, they all chose to take a detour immediately, so as not to encounter danger and delay the journey.

However, they all remembered the location of those desolate beasts, so they didn't have to bother to find them, Mu Yang planned to hunt down all the second-order low-grade desolate beasts in the locations they knew.

First, you can save some more desolate yuan to refine the elixir, and the various spiritual materials obtained from the desolate beast can also be used for Mo Xiaoqi to refine, and secondly, if there is a task to hunt such desolate beasts in the alliance, you can also hand it over directly, anyway, there is Mo Xiaoqi's storage spiritual weapon, and they are not afraid that there will be no place to store it.

After traveling for more than sixty miles, the three of them came to a big tree with sharp corners at the foot of a tree and stopped.

"That's right, this is it! Two miles or so to the left is the range of a split-hoofed ox, and hopefully no one will have hunted it first. Let's go!"

This is a mark that Muyang deliberately left when they came, as long as there were wild beasts they had encountered along the way, after they wrote down the approximate location, they all left similar marks, and made some shielding in front of the mark, in order to facilitate the need to find it in the future.

Raising his foot and stepping on the foot of the tree to rub off the bark with the mark, Muyang took the lead in running to the left, running less than two miles, when they heard the occasional cow mooing, the three of them looked at each other and smiled, knowing that the split-hoof cow was still here.

Squatting behind a large rock about 400 meters away from the split-hoof ox, the three of them showed their heads and looked out, a cow that was five or six times larger than an ordinary cow, and its whole body was covered with black long hair, which was leisurely bowing its head and gnawing, and the tail behind it was like a long whip just flicked lightly at random, and it even brought out a trace of breaking wind.

During the gnawing period, the split-hoof cow will sometimes raise its head and make a soft noise, which looks very cheerful, and its mouth is covered with blood stains when it raises its head, and if you look closely, what it is eating is an ordinary wild boar.

"Xiaoqi, according to the original plan, Yuan Bai and I are ambushed here, you go and lure the split-hoof ox over, and then we will rush up and take it down! But you must pay attention to safety! No, we will go together!"

Considering that the second-order desolate beast had a certain amount of wisdom, if there were many people, it would definitely turn around and run, so Mo Xiaoqi, who thought that it was rough and thick-skinned, had the lowest cultivation and was the least threatening, volunteered to act as a bait.

However, after all, after Mo Xiaoqi's Hundred Alchemy Body has been improved, Mu Yang has never seen how strong its defense is, so he still asked with some unease.

"It's okay Brother Yang, don't worry, just because this guy can't hurt me!" Mo Xiaoqi looked very confident, and took out his weapon with a smile, that is, the big hammer used in refining the weapon, and stood up.

"Fatty, put away your sassy temperament, be careful not to be careless!" Zhao Yuanbai also said uneasily.

"Alright, don't worry, just wait here. ”

Mo Xiaoqi carried the big hammer upside down and rushed out violently, and he quickly attracted the attention of the Split-Hoof Ox without hiding the slightest movement.

"Hey, stupid cow! Come here, come on, come on, come

Mo Xiaoqi roared, then twisted his chubby body a few times, turned his back and patted his butt at the split-hoof cow, seeing Mo Xiaoqi's action, Mu Yang and Zhao Yuanbai, who were lying in ambush behind the stone, suddenly had a black line.

The split-hoof cow, who was eating happily, saw a ball-shaped object yelling and screaming at him not far away, and twisted and provoked, snorted in his nose and squirted a rough breath, leaving the big wild boar he was eating, and rushed towards Mo Xiaoqi with a pair of red bull's eyes and hoofs.
