Chapter 04: Saving People

Seeing the shadow ghost dressed as an ordinary maidservant girl carrying the third sister on her back and escorting the second sister away, Mu Tong looked at a few relatively hidden places quietly, and said lightly in a childish voice: "I said, except for the ghost knife, everyone else went to escort my second sister and third sister, didn't you hear? Or do you want me to let the ghost knife cut you all?"

"Rustle. ”

There was a faint sound of grass and trees grinding in the woods, and all the people in the shadows retreated.

"Ma Ma Ma, the young master is really harsh. At every turn, you have to cut people. ”

A neutral voice came from far and near, which made Mu Tong dislike.

"Shut up Young Master Ben. Ghost knife you remember. You are a servant of our family, don't forget your duty. If you can't, take your deed of sale and leave. Otherwise, shut me up. There is no shortage of people in my Mu family. ”

“...... Yes, young master. ”

The owner of the voice in the dark responded with an uneven face. Shut up. He was rescued by Master Mu three years ago when he was in business, and he voluntarily sold himself as a servant to repay Master Mu for saving his life. Master Mu also seemed to trust himself more, and entrusted the safety of the Mu family to himself. But for some reason, the Mu family didn't like him, and in the face of the Mu family, he could only swallow his anger.

Mu Tong walked cautiously by the river in the woods. He looked aimless, but the stick in his hand made him look like he was looking for something.

This is the eastern suburb of Black Dragon City.

The eastern suburbs of the city are adjacent to the original Mysterious Beast Forest, and the mysterious beast is between the beast and the divine beast, and they can practice and have spiritual wisdom. High-level mysterious beasts can transform into human forms and understand human language. And if the high-level mysterious beast can truly abandon the beast body and transform into a human, it will have the opportunity to achieve the realm of divine beasts. But it is necessary to re-cultivate with a human body, break the confinement, and reshape the body of the beast. And this kind of reshaping is more special, when a humanoid mysterious beast can cultivate to the realm of reshaping the beast body, it can be ever-changing, as long as it understands the divine beast it wants to transform into, then theoretically it can be reshaped into the body of that kind of divine beast.

It is said that the Narwhalal Giant Whale, a sacred beast of the East China Sea, is a mythical beast that evolved from a mysterious beast. It's just that its origin has been forgotten by the world. After all, the narwhal legend has been alive and well in the East China Sea for 10,000 years. As for whether it will be longer, no one knows.

There are beasts on the periphery of the Mysterious Beast Forest, and ordinary beasts get the opportunity to evolve into mysterious beasts, and ordinary beasts are also the rations of mysterious beasts.

Originally, it was impossible for such a dangerous place to be next to Black Dragon City. But thousands of years ago, when the Great Xuan Dynasty was still in existence, a mysterious beast with a peak human form appeared in the Xuan Beast Forest, and signed a non-offensive order with the emperor of the dynasty at that time. Mysterious beasts are not allowed to leave the mysterious beast forest without permission, and humans can enter the mysterious beast forest for fifty miles every ten years to collect materials. However, if you live and die at your own risk, and if you exceed 50 miles, you will be punished by both parties, depending on the severity of the circumstances.

Therefore, for thousands of years, as long as you don't step into the Mysterious Beast Forest, even if you sit with the Mysterious Beast Forest, it won't be in the way. It was only Mu Tong who dared to be bold and wandered around.

And now the forest where Mu Tong is just a forest that has been reborn for thousands of years, and there are only some small animals in it, and it is not bad to occasionally be able to run out of one or two lone wolves from the Xuan Beast Forest. After all, the beast is not a mysterious beast, and the rules are not restricted.

"Huh? ”

In a bush more than ten meters away from the river bank, a particularly lush pile of grass stands out on the river bank. Mu Tong was overjoyed, and ran directly towards the haystack.

"The ghost knife is for Young Master Ben, I stopped, don't let the rabbit escape. Wait for me to smoke them out!"

"Don't!"

Hearing that his young master was going to set fire to the rabbit, the ghost knife could no longer pretend to be dead. It's a forest, full of dry grass and dead branches, and if you set it on fire, you won't set the forest on fire. This broken forest burned and burned, and no one cared except for the peasant hunters who occasionally came to fight the tooth sacrifice. But next door is the Mysterious Beast Forest, if it burns next door.

The consequences of this are terrifying even when you think about it. God knows if the Black Dragon Beast will help the Mohai Kingdom or the Xuan Beast Forest at that time. Who doesn't know that the Black Dragon Beast has wanted to transform into a human and reshape the beast body all these years and become a real divine beast Black Dragon.

"Little Ancestor, don't set it on fire, otherwise the lives of hundreds of people in the Mu family will not be enough for you to burn!"

The ghost knife didn't dare to let this young master go, and he would be punished and die. Grabbing Mu Tong's hand, a ghost knife dressed in black and wearing a hat stood beside Mu Tong. The ghost knife with a straight blade and a long knife with a broken tip on his back was forced to endure impatience and coax himself, the eldest young master.

"Young master, you just want rabbits, and hitting rabbits with grass is also a way, and you can always catch them. It's still morning, and it's time for the rabbit to lay down. If you have to take a nest, it's a big deal to go down to the river and bring some water to fill it. ”

"Are you sure?"

Mu Tong looked at the pretending mysterious guy in front of him with a suspicious expression. Since entering the Mu family, this guy has been wearing a hat. And basically they hide in the shadows, like a ghost. It really made him feel uncomfortable.

"Then come on, young master, I'll just wait to see the rabbit. ”

“......”

The ghost knife who felt that he had been fooled was speechless in his heart, but his body still moved. Who allowed himself to send someone under the fence. Without...... I want to leave.

Mu Tong found a fairly empty grass by the river and sat down directly. He plucked a weed and put it in his mouth, and looked bored at the other side of the river. On the other side of the river is the legendary Mysterious Beast Forest, which is said to have a lot of forests on the main road, which is basically called the Mysterious Beast Forest, and people are too lazy to choose a name. However, there are some more famous Jedi who are particularly hostile to humans because the beast master in them has been persecuted by humans, and has become a Jedi in the mouth of humans.

Mu Tong scoffed at this, although he was only more than five years old, he also knew that humans and beasts were natural enemies, and there would always be disputes between different races. Like the Black Dragon Beast and the first lord of the Mohai Kingdom, it is okay to deceive the world if they say that they are brothers and sisters. Who can't see that an emperor who can conquer the world will have a deep brotherhood with a tool? It can be seen from the attitude of his children and grandchildren. It is estimated that there is some means to restrain the black dragon beast.

"Huh, what's that?"

Mu Tong suddenly found something strange in his sight. That thing still moves!

[No, it's the Mysterious Beast Forest on the other side, where did this thing come from?]

[By the way, the upper reaches of the river run through the Xuan Beast Forest, remember that the front is the place where the eastern suburbs of the forest and the Xuan Beast are connected. In other words, this little thing came from the other side of the mountain through the Mysterious Beast Forest!]

After figuring out the origin of the thing in his sight, Mu Tong stood up. Standing on tiptoe, he looked at the tub that came with the waves.

It was a wooden basin that had been bumped and broken, and it was covered with a faded silk cloth, and something was constantly stirring under the silk cloth. But because of the distance, I couldn't see what it was.

"Ghost Knife, come over here and help me see what's in the river?"

The ghost knife was annoyed when he heard this, and he was already very dissatisfied with his big master catching rabbits for the little kid. Seeing that he saw the rabbit's legs, he was actually scared back to the cave by his own young master.

The ghost knife couldn't help but turn his head unhappily to see what his young master was doing, but what caught his eye was the little ghost's head jumping up!

"Plop!"

With a sound of falling water, the eldest young master of the Mu family's thousands of favors jumped into the river in front of him?

[Oh no! What are you going to do!]

The ghost knife was frightened, and hurriedly used his body to rush towards the river. You must know that this river flows out of the Mysterious Beast Forest, and the river is turbulent, God knows what is in the river. No one had ever caught fish in the river anyway, but there were many valuable herbs found on the embankment near the city gate downstream. They are all produced in the Mysterious Beast Forest. Therefore, there are many second-class bastards on the dam every day who try to stay there for nothing.

Not to mention that the ghost knife was shocked, but it was said that Mu Tong's brain was hot and rushed into the river, only to find that the river was turbulent, and there was an undercurrent underneath. I also lost myself to eating a lot of tonic since I was a child, and my body was so strong that I couldn't speak. The medicinal power that has been deposited by the body for many years is stimulated by the cold river water, and it begins to become active and feverish, driving away the cold of the river for Mu Tong.

Forced to swim diagonally towards the center of the river, he finally caught up with the wooden basin floating on the surface of the river.

Fortunately, the wooden basin is relatively large, and if it is sitting cross-legged, Mu Tong feels that even if he can fit it himself.

Mu Tong, who was already a little physically exhausted, was afraid to pick up the edge of the wooden basin, and while trying to push the wooden basin towards the bank of the eastern suburbs, he endured the backflow of the river and shouted.

"Ghost knife, what are you looking at! Don't save Young Master Ben yet!"

Hearing Mu Tong's shouts, and the wooden basin in Mu Tong's hand, where would the ghost knife not know what was going on.

It turned out that when Mu Tong beckoned the ghost knife, he saw a small red hand stretched out under the silk cloth of the wooden basin, and when he knew that it was a baby inside, he couldn't wait for the arrival of the ghost knife, and his brain plunged into the water as soon as it was hot.

Fortunately, the country of Mohai is near the sea, and the folk customs here are that both men and women know how to water, and they have learned to swim since they were young. In a large family like the Mu family, there are few pools for the owner and his family to play in. The Mu family sisters and brothers have been fluttering together in their own ponds since they were children, although they are not as good as the fishermen's sons who are fluttering in the sea, but they can still flutter a few times in the river.

But even Mu Tong's body poured out of medicinal herbs was already weak at this time. After all, he is just a child, how much physical strength and stamina can he have. Therefore, we can only count on the ghost knife on the shore to strike.
