Chapter 97: Halfway
"Iron Tower" stared at Li Xiaomu and they looked at them for a long time, and finally arched his hand, only squeezing out two words, "Thank you!" The other "Spirit Hunters" also bowed, Li Xiaomu smiled and returned the salute, just wanted to say some kind words, but saw the "Iron Tower" wave of his sleeves, and the companions rushed out of the door, and came back to report after a while, saying that they had not found any trace of the monster, so they scattered in all directions, and dragged up the "snow apes" on the ground in twos and threes, and went straight out of the inn without saying a word.

Li Xiaomu looked at the backs of those people in a daze, and saw that the "iron tower" that had not entered the rain curtain suddenly turned around again, and threw out an object casually, Li Xiaomu just stretched out his hand to take it, and heard him shout: "If you have the opportunity to go to the 'Northland Cold Frontier', someone will entertain you, little brother!"
The word "brother" made Li Xiaomu's heart warm, and he watched the "Spirit Hunter" go away, and put the black medallion in his hand into his arms.
"People don't seem to appreciate you too much. Luo Shuer said.
Li Xiaomu smiled, "Real men do more than they say-" He looked back at the shopkeeper, since the "Iron Tower" saved that guy, Li Xiaomu admired these "real men" from the bottom of his heart, they disdained to fight and kill, but they were unambiguous in helping the weak, just this heroic spirit of not being afraid of the strong and only holding grievances was enough to make people awe-inspired. Therefore, Li Xiaomu took the initiative to help just now, of course, he also had absolute self-confidence - at the very least, there were three second-order upper-level cultivation masters behind him, although the monster was fierce, it was difficult to get a little bargain in front of them, not to mention his own body......
"Your body is not small. Tao Tao said that Zhong Zichao had been staring at Li Xiaomu curiously.
"It's just some shoddy tricks to escape and save your life-" Luo Shu'er pouted and said, in the "Eight Side Gate", she had suffered Li Xiaomu's big loss, and now that she thinks about it, she still hates it so much, "When you fight, you will only jump up and down and run for your life in all directions, and you are really not afraid of embarrassing our 'Tianhe faction', hum!"
"But, but Senior Brother Xiaomu killed a monster with his own hands!" The big head rushed to say, Li Xiaomu waved his hand, turned around and asked, "Shopkeeper, is there a guest room now?"
The shopkeeper looked at the corpses and blood stains on the ground, and trembled like chaff, "Yes, yes...... It's all freed up. β
......
Behind the inn is a slender valley, there is a place that is not very deep, it happens to be a natural cemetery for those corpses, Li Xiaomu and Zhong Zichao dragged them into the valley bottom, pushed down the wet soil on both sides, more than 20 corpses are considered to be in the ground, Li Xiaomu originally wanted to learn the old way of the monk to recite a few words of "requiem mantra" to them, but when he saw Zhong Zichao shaking the mud on his hand and walked back, he thought of a hideous dead man under his feet, and his heart couldn't help but feel cold, muttering "Grievances and debts have masters, you sleep well, don't thank you!" , and hurriedly followed......
This night, not only did the younger heads not sleep too well, Luo Shuer and Tao Tao were also nightmares, they were the first time to see so many people die, as soon as they closed their eyes full of stumps and flesh, broken tendons and bones, they tossed and turned for most of the night before falling asleep, and then opened their eyes, the sky was bright, Li Xiaomu actually got up earlier than them, and was downstairs "swishing" to drink porridge, the porridge was cooked by himself, the shopkeeper didn't know where to go, when everyone finished washing and went downstairs, Li Xiaomu began to urge: "Hurry up!" When the people from the official's family come, it's another trouble!" A few people realized that it seemed that the shopkeeper should have gone to the nearby county government to report to the official.
They did not dare to delay any longer, so they set up the carriage and continued on its way, the rain had stopped, the road was muddy, and the carriage was jolting through the mountains, and the ruts were "clanging and clanging".
"Sure enough, Master values you very much. Tao Tao said softly, and Zhong Zichao also kept staring at Li Xiaomu.
Li Xiaomu grinned "hehe" and smiled dryly, "Master is not the only one who is important. He glanced at the three in front of him.
"But he rarely personally appoints low-level disciples, especially those with poor talents. β
"Maybe Master saw that I liked to cause trouble, and was afraid that I would lose his old man's face again, so he instructed me some techniques to save my life and escape. β
Tao Tao also smiled slightly, "There are not many disciples of the 'Tianhe Sect' who will only flee for their lives, otherwise they will lose the face of the master." β
Li Xiaomu laughed wryly for a long time, and then his eyes lit up-
"I understand, the next time we do it, we will all cover our heads, and no one will be able to recognize which sect we are!"
"Snort!" Luo Shu'er snorted coldly, but then frowned, "Hmm, someone!"
Li Xiaomu secretly opened the curtain of the carriage, only to see a faint figure in the mountains and forests in front of him, dressed in powder, with a beautiful posture, it was actually more than a dozen women, but all of them were wearing large pink gauze hats, and the long silk cloth hung down, blocking their heads and faces.
Li Xiaomu was stunned, "It seems that someone thought of going with me." β
"Shhhh β
As soon as they heard the three words "Miaoyan Mountain", Luo Shu'er and Zhong Zichao's faces changed slightly, and Li Xiaomu also "sighed" in his heart - he had heard of "Miaoyan Mountain", although he didn't know anything about it, but he also knew one or two, this sect is a female disciple of Qingyi Shui'er from top to bottom, and the exercises they practice are not the "Five Elements" and "Hundred Qi", but the Yin Qi on the woman's body, therefore, over time, everyone is cold and sassy, and they are vicious and ruthless...... I also heard that the head of the sect is not good-natured and acts arrogantly and perversely, so the entire sect does not have any righteousness, and it is all based on its own likes and dislikes, and the same people will have a headache when they see it, so as long as they are not too out of line, no one is willing to come forward to provoke.
"The sage is right, women and villains are difficult to raiseββ" Li Xiaomu sighed quietly, attracting a burst of Luo Shu'er's eyes, the girl just wanted to reply, but she didn't expect the women in front of her to give Li Xiaomu a verification-
"'Miaoyan Mountain' acts, and the idlers retreat as quickly as possible!" shouted a tall woman, who stood in the middle of the mountain road, and this sound was obviously added to the mana, and the horse pulling the cart neighed twice, almost frightened. Li Xiaomu noticed that a thin woman's face was embroidered on the gauze on her chest, like a ghost.
Luo Shu'er was a little angry, but she was stunned, Li Xiaomu replaced the big head, personally drove the carriage, saw that there was a side road next to her, and was about to turn the horse's head, and heard the woman shout: "Go back the same way, don't go forward!"
Luo Shu'er's eyes widened, but Tao Tao held her shoulder, Li Xiaomu hurriedly grabbed the horse, and greeted her with a smile on her face: "Sisters, we are just passing by, and we don't want to disturb you, let's go! Let's go!" He also tentatively looked to the side.
"Go back!" said coldly.
"It's too deceitful!" Luo Shu'er was about to rush out, but suddenly heard a rustle of grass blades in the forest in front of her, and then, she saw several shadows rushing up-
"The demon is looking for death!" "Powerful ghost" shouted, flashed over, and more than a dozen disciples of "Miaoyan Mountain" instantly formed a circle formation, trapping those shadows in it, Li Xiaomu and they saw clearly that there were several foxes of different fur colors running in the grass, and bursts of aura were exuding from their bodies, and they had obviously cultivated into demons. It's just that before Li Xiaomu could count them, they broke their limbs and died tragically one by one - more than a dozen female disciples of "Miaoyan Mountain" attacked and retreated together, and in just one breath, they slashed those monsters under the sword......
Not only Li Xiaomu, but also several other people in the carriage were also shocked - most of the dozen or so women were first-order upper-level cultivators, but dealing with demons whose spiritual power was higher than them, it was like chopping melons and vegetables, which not only relied on the victory of more and less, and tacit understanding, but also showed their grasp of the size, angle and accuracy of their strength.
Li Xiaomu began to secretly calculate in his heart, if he was surrounded by them, he didn't know if he could dodge the fatal combined attack, and then looked at Luo Shu'er and the three of them frowned, it seemed that it was not much different from what he thought.
As soon as everyone in "Miaoyan Mountain" struck a blow, they all stood upright with their swords, and the woman with the "powerful ghost" embroidered on her chest turned her attention to Li Xiaomu and them again, this time her voice was colder, no longer like a warning, but more like an order-
"Retreat! Otherwise, you will be killed!"
How could the disciples of the dignified "Tianhe faction" receive such "courtesy", at this time, even Tao Tao couldn't suppress the fire, seeing that the second daughter was about to pull out her weapon, Li Xiaomu knew that it was difficult to control the scene, and was thinking of a way to fight the enemy, but he saw that the two big horses in front of the car suddenly neighed, the front hooves were raised, and the hind hooves were erect, as if they were startled by something......
"Beware! It's a monster!" Tao Tao crossed the sword in his chest, but as soon as he finished shouting, he felt that aura quickly disappeared, and this time it was the turn of the "powerful ghost" on the opposite side to shout, "Chase! Don't let it run......!"
Li Xiaomu looked at their backs as they quickly moved away, and smacked his tongue again and again, "What was it just now?"
Tao Tao gritted his teeth, "Strange, why is there suddenly so many demons and evil spirits in the hinterland of the Central Plains? It seems that we will not have less trouble along the way." β
......
In fact, it was shown that Tao Tao was only half right, and they did encounter a few more groups of monsters during the next long journey, but they didn't get involved in the slightest trouble - those demons were either killed by their peers, or fled in all directions, and there was no wind at all, making a wave, so after another three days and nights, they finally approached the destination of this trip - "Pang Shan City".
Early in the morning, in a tea shop fifteen miles outside the city, a few people stopped for a while, but just as they were about to set off, they still encountered something that they couldn't avoid......
