Due to special reasons, the routes of travel related to the world are selected in advance.

The Mu family gave a total of two diagrams: one in Mu Qiyuan's hands, and the other in Mu Chen's hands. According to the annotations in the map, everyone is sparsely populated and inaccessible all the way.

Since entering the wilderness the day before yesterday and being attacked by a giant python, the team headed north-east and chose a way to go around the northwest area of Sanshan County, which is a no-man's land.

In the afternoon of that day, the party had crossed a desolate mountain range, and had not traveled long before a great river cut it off.

The nameless river, roughly in a south-west direction, is about 30 zhang wide, and both banks are weeds and trees. Looking around, there is no Jindu, and there is no trace in the field of vision.

The children of the Mu clan walked to the shore, closed their eyes one after another, turned their palms, and each moved to breathe. In the blink of an eye, I saw a circle of dark green light inexplicably flashing from the bottom of their feet, which was very strange.

Suddenly, Mu Chen jumped forward, floated lightly on the surface of the river, and rushed towards the opposite bank. The rest of the Mu clan disciples also jumped into the river one after another, one by one, as light as a swallow, treading water and hurrying.

Seeing this suddenly, Bian Yao couldn't help but be stunned, in his cognition, whether it was a sword maniac or a dream maniac, he couldn't tread water. But just looking at the actions of those Mu people, it was obvious that they had used some secret technique, so as to avoid sinking underwater.

Without saying a word, Twilight turned and walked to a tree near the river, drew his sword behind him, and slashed out several palm-sized pieces of wood with a quick swing.

At this time, all the children of the Mu clan had already stood on the other side of the river, turning back to look this way.

"Why are you stunned?" Twilight turned and walked to the river, clutching a piece of wood in her palm.

"It's really convenient for these Mu people to cross the river!" Bian Yao immediately came back to his senses and said in an extremely envious tone.

Twilight walked to the shore and flicked her right hand forward, sending a piece of wood flying down to the river.

In the next moment, the gray figure suddenly swept up, jumped six feet away from the wood, stepped on the square block that landed on the surface of the river with one foot accurately, and with the help of a sudden tiptoe, the figure jumped up again, and threw a second piece of wood forward in mid-air.

The former reached the center of the river, and Bian Yao followed and jumped forward, and waved his fingers forward, and suddenly saw a stone appear on the surface of the river, for him to trample forward.

In this way, the two figures floated on the surface of the river, and with the help of the power of driftwood and phantom stones, they were like dragonflies touching the water, and they rose and fell several times in succession, and then successfully stepped on the other side of the earth.

The team scurried along the overgrown riverbank for a while, then turned around and headed north. About half an hour later, we entered a low and undulating mountain land, stretching for dozens of miles.

The mountainous soil in the south is very fertile, covered with plants and trees, and is easy to flourish and difficult to decay.

In the land of mountains and forests, the grass is extremely lush, and there are always countless beasts living and hiding in the meantime. After the team entered the mountain, they marched cautiously, and in addition to being attacked by some ordinary beasts, they also encountered several slightly tricky beasts, but in the end they were killed under the siege of everyone.

As the sun sets, several low-hanging clouds drift across the sky, obscuring most of the sky.

The sky became extremely dark, and the beast disturbance and the terrain were inconvenient, so Mu Wanyan proposed to stop moving, but no one objected, and everyone stopped in an open area in the mountains.

The twilight scenery is pleasant, looking into the distance, the vast mountains, showing a light smoke blue, Buddha is like a vivid ink painting.

The five middle-aged sword maniacs consciously dispersed and sat on the periphery of the crowd to be on guard. The other children of the Mu clan gathered together in twos and threes, eating, drinking and talking, while Mu Wanyan and the other four women sat in the center of the crowd, also talking and laughing.

Outside the crowd, next to the pile of rocks not far away, Bian Yao and Twilight Song sat opposite each other, each with a celadon bowl in front of them, and the two were about to share a jar of spirit fruit wine.

Soon after, the sun sets, and the western sky paints a colorful sunset. Soon, the clouds above also drifted away, and the sky became brighter.

Bian Yao put down the wine jar, took a sip of the wine bowl, looked up at the sky, and said, "It's still early, it's not interesting to just drink, it's better to get something to eat." ”

Twilight Song was sipping with her head down, and she couldn't help but be stunned when she heard the words, and then quickly raised her head, drank the wine in the bowl, got up and said, "If you want to go, hurry up!"

Seeing his reaction, Bian Yao smiled, hurriedly put away the wine jar and wine bowl, and then left the place and walked towards the mountains and forests not far away.

Most of the Mu Clan's eyes showed curiosity and incomprehension, but there was no sense of worry. Along the way, when the two foreigners resisted and killed the beast, the cooperation between them was incomparably tacit!

After half a pillar of incense, the sunset in the west sky had not yet dispersed, and the two came back.

Bian Yao was holding a bundle of dry firewood in his arms, smiling all over his face. Twilight Song hooked the corners of her mouth slightly, and walked beside her with a smile, holding a fat civet rat upside down in her right hand, the fur had been peeled off, and the belly had been cut open and the internal organs had been removed, and it seemed that it had been washed in the mountain stream.

The two of them returned to their place, ignoring the stares of outsiders, and skillfully set up a shelf, lit a pile of firewood, and skewered the raccoon rats with a wooden stick and placed them on top of the flame to roast.

The colorful glow on the horizon gradually faded away, and the raccoon rats were also scorched by the flames, overflowing with golden oil juice and crackling.

The expressions of the children of the Mu clan were a little complicated, in the past, in the valley, one by one had no worries about food and clothing, and almost no one had done such a thing as roasting wild game. In fact, most of the Mu Clan disciples in the valley are now very hostile to the two foreigners, but because of the face and hidden power of Mu Chen and the others, they dare not or are embarrassed to approach the two.

The evening breeze of early spring slowly blows through the mountains, and the alluring aroma of meat spreads out in all directions.

In the crowd, some people unconsciously sniffed and prolonged their snorts, some people squirmed frequently in their throats and swallowed saliva, and some people had cold faces and annoyed eyes.

Suddenly, Mu Chen and Mu Xiao stood up at the same time and walked quickly towards the mountains and forests not far away.

Before twilight, the two hurried back, Mu Chen carrying a pine fox with a peeled belly, and Mu Xiao holding more than a dozen dry firewood. Soon, the two men were scrambling to set up a pyre and start another barbecue.

And here, the game is ripe. Twilight Song slowly flipped the raccoon rat on the wooden stick, while Bian Yao carefully and evenly smeared the salt, spilling various seasonings from time to time, and the bursts of strange fragrance suddenly diffused.

In the center of the crowd, the four girls whispered a few words, Mu Wanyan suddenly stood up, and the other three girls followed her, smiling and groaning towards the source of the fragrance.

Twilight Song took out her dagger and was about to divide the game, when she heard the sound of footsteps, she caught a glimpse of the figure of the comer, and her face, which had been scorched red by the flames, seemed to add a new layer of red in an instant.

"What is this? Why is it so fragrant!" Mu Wanyan asked with a curious smile as she crouched down beside the fire. The three girls gathered around her, staring at the strangely scented raccoon rat with the same eyes.

Twilight sings without squeaking, just lowers her head, and the dagger blade cuts at the tanuki's body indiscriminately, without any order.

Seeing this, Bian Yao, who was sitting on the side, smiled proudly and said, "You haven't eaten such a delicious thing? ”

With a flick of her wrist, Twilight Song skillfully cut off four pieces of thigh meat, stuck them in a dagger skewer, and handed them to Mu Wanyan and the other four girls one after another.

"Wow, it smells so good!"

"Incense...... Isn't it hot!"

The four girls stared at the sparkling eyes, pinched the meat of the raccoon rat sprinkled with seasoning with both hands, and took a bite, the fragrance of foreign fragrance overflowed her lips and teeth, and a few drops of oil flowed from the corners of her mouth.

After a while, Mu Wanyan and the other four women finished eating the barbecue in their hands, and one by one they bent their oily hands slightly, looking at the raccoon rats on the wooden frame, still unsatisfied.

"It's delicious!" Mu Wanyan licked her lips and said with obvious meaning.

When Twilight Song heard this, her right hand shook involuntarily, and the dagger moved to the tanuki's leg, just about to cut the flesh.

Seeing this, Bian Yao hurriedly swallowed the fragrant meat in his mouth that had not yet been chewed, stretched out his hand to stop the former's movements, and shouted: "Don't give it! ”

"You are so stingy!" Mu Wanyan said angrily, glared at him fiercely, and then quickly glanced at Twilight Song, and then left with the third girl, walking towards Mu Chen, who was not far away.

Bian Yao's face was calm, and he didn't mind the other party's evaluation, so he suddenly took out the wine jar and wine bowl, and said with a smile: "Come, drink." ”

Twilight didn't speak, but slashed hard at the tanuki with the tip of her dagger, looking a little strange and looking a little unhappy.

The twilight is faint, shrouding the mountains in a faint light.

Mu Chen caught a glimpse of Mu Wanyan coming over, let out a cold snort, raised his hand and picked up the firewood a few times, the fire snake suddenly sprang up, and the red flame wrapped the pine fox in one fell swoop.

"Haven't you baked it yet?" Mu Wanyan asked eagerly with a quick glance.

"You can eat over there, what are you doing here. Mu Chen's attitude was cold, and his tone clearly revealed dissatisfaction.

"I didn't eat enough, so I came to you. Mu Wanyan smiled, not caring about his attitude at all.

Mu Chen let out a cold snort again, stared at the pine fox in the flames, and stopped talking.

There was not much time, Mu Wanyan suddenly frowned, and said softly: "Why does it smell burnt?"

When the wooden owl next to him heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward to move the pine fox away, flipped over and looked at it, and found that the bottom had been blackened and pasted.

"It should be about the same, just remove the burnt part. The wooden owl sniffed, and suddenly a short knife appeared in his hand.

Suddenly, Mu Wanyan slanted her eyebrows, reluctantly swallowed the barbecue in her mouth, and said: "It smells very fragrant, but it tastes less flavorful." I was on their side just now, and I saw a layer of powder on the meat, why don't you sprinkle it. ”

Mu Xiao was slightly embarrassed, and replied in a low voice: "I only brought some salt crystals, no powder seasoning." ”

Mu Chen snorted coldly, and said with disdain on his face: "What kind of ability is it to sprinkle spices! Don't add anything if you have the ability, see who bakes it delicious!"

Mu Wanyan couldn't help but glance at him, stood up, and walked towards the pile of rubbles not far away. After a while, she returned with a small porcelain jar and said with a smile: "I'll go and ask them for a little over." ”

As a result, Mu Chen said that he would not add seasonings to anything, and Mu Xiao naturally did not want to. Mu Wanyan didn't do much reluctance, and after eating with the other three girls, she happily returned to the center of the crowd.

The night hangs in the sky, the stars hang low, and the mountain breeze is slightly cold.

Bian Yao and Twilight Song finished eating the roasted raccoon rat, and drank a jar of spirit fruit wine. The two of them, satisfied, sat quietly against the stone, looking at the twinkling stars in the night sky, and felt that they had returned to the time when they traveled through the chaotic plains.

Far and near, the mountains are undulating. The night breeze blows, and in the dark mountains and forests, there are movements from beasts and birds from time to time.

The night, unconsciously, fades away.
