Chapter 2 The Ancient Vein of the Mountains
The ancient vein of Lishan Mountain, located in the northwest of the Lanhuang Ancient Land, belongs to the territory of Xia Ling Kingdom, and is famous for its many exotic beasts and dangerous mountains. To the west of the mountain is the place of exile, and further west is the vast desert.
Mu Tian has been walking in this mountain for a long time since he woke up, and there are no people or streams, and his throat has long been dry and smoky.
He wondered that although he had been asleep for a long time, his physical fitness had also dropped to a higher level. He wanted to fly away from the wind, but he jumped on the spot and his legs and feet were numb and he didn't see him fly, so he had to kick the tree trunk a few times in anger and continue to move forward.
Later, after thinking about it carefully, he realized that although his body had awakened, the sleeping divine consciousness in his body still hadn't been opened, and he couldn't even perceive it.
To put it bluntly, he is just an ordinary mortal now. But his hearing was surprisingly good, and he could hear the wind and grass in the mountains clearly.
"Hurry up, don't let that beast run away!" suddenly shouted a human voice in the mountains and forests in the distance.
Immediately, a black panther with black hair, green eyes, and a mouth full of sharp fangs suddenly burst out of the weeds in front of Mutian and smashed at him like a large black water tank.
When the panther saw someone in front of him, he stopped abruptly, and struck sand and rocks flying everywhere under his feet. It stared ahead panting, its body trembling and twitching, and the wounds on its left eye and left front leg were dripping with crimson blood.
It was clear that it had been badly wounded, and if it had been caught up by the men behind it at this time, it would have died today.
Mu Tian didn't have much fear of the beast that suddenly appeared in front of him, and he didn't have the desire to save it, after all, natural selection, survival of the fittest, life and death sometimes need to be in their own destiny, and he shouldn't care about many things.
But where would he have thought that this black beast did not have such a conscience as him, and pounced on him, its speed was as fast as black lightning, like the phantom of a black ghost, which was confusing. Its sharp front claws spread out like sharp blades, and its foul-smelling teeth erupted into a terrifying roar, and the cold fangs were even more chilling.
Mu Tian's body, which had been sleeping for 10,000 years, froze in place at this time, seeing that the black beast was about to pounce on him, but he didn't have the intention of hiding.
At the last moment, a flying arrow flew out from the depths of the woods, and with a fierce arrow wind, it went straight into the heart of the black beast, and the huge impact directly nailed it to the ground.
Mu Tian gasped, but before he could come back to his senses, he was surrounded by seven or eight strong men wearing animal skins and coarse cloth.
Maybe he was distracted by the urgency of the situation just now, and he didn't even notice that someone had sneaked over.
These strong men were all sturdy and athletic, and they had already aimed their bows and arrows at Mutian's vital parts with bows and arrows in their hands, watching his every move very vigilantly, as if they were looking at a trapped beast.
"Who are you?" one of them asked.
Mu Tian thought in his heart, and the words he said could be understood, indicating that the changes of 10,000 years of time have not changed much for this world, at least the language can still be communicated.
"Don't get excited, good guys, I'm not a bad person, I just got lost in this mountain and couldn't find the direction to go out, so I walked into the hunting circle, and I didn't mean to interfere with everyone's hunting. Mu Tian hurriedly explained with a smile.
"What do you think this place is, how can an ordinary person come and get lost? Tell me, are you a spy sent by the palace?"
"Look at his dress, he must be someone sent from the palace, this thief must not stay, kill him!"
"He doesn't look like a good thing, he can do it directly......" The other man took out his dagger and was about to step forward, but was stopped.
"To kill or not to kill, wait for the young master to come and then make a decision, tie him up first!"
That man acted skillfully and decisively, had a more leadership style than the others, and seemed to be a capable man, but he had lost an arm.
"Hey, guys, if you have something to say, don't do it...... Hey, don't touch my ass...... Hey, brother, where do you touch your hands? Can you touch the root of your thighs casually...... No, I'm kidding!"
The man holding a dagger, his expression was cold, and he glared at him viciously, and then turned around and said, "There's nothing on you!"
Mu Tian was also helpless, he was tied up and touched all over again, which would be embarrassing if it was spread out.
"I don't have a weapon on my body, and I dare to wander around in this mountain, look at this little white face, it must be which family in the palace came to hunt in this mountain, and it looks like a straw bale waste, and the lord who doesn't like it is brought back first!"
The man who spoke was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, and although his appearance was not outstanding, he was also considered to have good facial features and bright eyebrows. With a longbow in his hand, he walked leisurely out of the woods, followed by a few henchmen.
He was the youngest of the group, but he was born with a haughty attitude, and his words were full of mockery.
The young man didn't pay attention to Mu Tian at all, his arrogant eyes just glanced at him, and then set his eyes on the black beast on the ground.
"This shadow leopard is much more interesting than him!" the boy walked up to the black beast and pulled out the bloodstained arrow, "Someone will clean up and bring this beast back with you!"
"Young Master, isn't this appropriate...... If you let the master of the house know that you ran out to hunt again, you will have skinned a few of us!"
"What are you worried about, my father has been surveying the terrain in this mountain range these days, how can he care about my business, if you don't say it, how will he know! Besides, this shadow leopard is a demon in this mountain forest, and has injured a lot of people, and I shot him this time, see who else in the city dares to disobey me!" The arrogance in the young man's eyes rose a little more.
The boy is Zhai Feng, the son of Zhai Tianqing, the second-in-command of Twilight City, who was known as a genius archer when he was young, and his archery skills are unmatched. He began to realize the Tao at the age of ten, and at a young age, he stepped into the threshold of the cultivation world, and it took less than half a month to enter the Kaihe realm, and now he has broken through to the cave heaven realm.
He is also a man of the year in Twilight, but he is arrogant by nature, and his temper is extremely violent, and he has not made many friends so far.
Zhai Feng also showed off his archery skills in front of Mu Tian from time to time, in his eyes, Mu Tian was a straw bale waste of an official eunuch, who couldn't get on the row or the battlefield.
"Looking at your plain clothes, you must be a cultured person, right? We are miserable people, and now that we are old and don't know a few words, we really want to see what the palace looks like!"
Suyi is plain, but not a cultural person, then I don't know.
Zhai Feng's hearing was also very smart, and as soon as the man finished speaking, he turned his head and glared at the man fiercely.
Seeing the situation, the person next to him hurriedly scolded the man: "Can't you be a person who can eat and sleep, you have to spend your brain learning that stroke, that thing can be managed after learning?"
Mu Tian could hear that the man said this deliberately, although the words were a little sharp, but at least he spared the person a punishment.
