The sky was slightly bright, Li Mo walked out of the door, secretly wiped a handful of tears, tucked the medicine sickle on his waist, put the medicine basket on his back, and walked towards the back mountain without looking back.

"Mo'er, you have to be careful, cough cough, cough cough. ”

In the thatched hut behind him, the mother lying on the bed, every heart-rending cough, like a steel needle fiercely piercing Li Mo's heart, this fifteen-year-old boy, no longer shed tears, his steps became more and more firm, "This time, no matter what, you have to pick heather! Li Mo, you have to be strong, your mother's illness can't be delayed any longer!"

Silently cheering himself up in his heart, Li Mo took a big breath of the refreshing air of Caoyun Mountain, his steps were brisk, and he rushed towards the mountain.

The mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk, and the places along the way are gloomy and terrifying, with towering trees and thorns, and there is not a single herb in sight. Li Mo didn't expect to gain something in this area, and these places had long been swept by the herb pickers in the village.

After crossing the three more mountains, as long as you don't encounter ferocious beasts and have a little better luck, you can pick valuable herbs on the mountain, and more than a dozen families in Osmanthus Village live by picking the medicine in Qingyun Mountain, and Li Mo's family is no exception.

But his father died early, his mother was bedridden for many years, and the people in the village were all selfish and self-interested, not only did they not help, but they also made things difficult and bullied everywhere, and their mother and son lived a very difficult life.

Relying on his mother's teaching, he studied diligently, and after his father accidentally fell off a cliff and died when he was seven years old, Li Mo shouldered the burden of supporting his family and began to go into the mountains to collect medicine.

Osmanthus Village does not produce food crops, and the villagers can only rely on planting medicinal herbs or going into the mountains to collect medicines to make a living.

Originally, Li Mo's family also had a medicine field, but after his father died, his mother was seriously ill, so Li Mo gritted his teeth and sold the medicine field to the village chief's family, and grabbed a few life-saving medicines for his mother.

Li Mo had a wish, he wanted to own the largest medicine field in Osmanthus Village.

It's a pity that he secretly learned from others to cultivate medicinal fields and learn to grow medicinal herbs, but he never succeeded. The medicinal fields he cultivated could not survive no matter what herbs he cultivated.

Li Mo was not depressed, he believed that as long as he made unremitting efforts, one day, he would succeed in cultivating his own medicine fields!

Li Mo, who is literate, has a slightly brighter mind than other villagers, and collecting medicine is a hard job, and without a strong body, he can't last long. Therefore, Li Mo often selectively eats some residual medicines and medicinal roots that are beneficial to his body according to the records of medicine books.

Qingyun Mountain is very large, and there are fierce beasts in many places, Li Mo easily does not dare to take risks, after all, he has a mistake, and his seriously ill mother will be left unattended.

It was the season for the heather to ripen, and because his mother's illness was getting worse and worse, Li Mo didn't want to delay any longer, and decided to take the risk of picking heather in that valley.

Windy Valley.

The most powerful people in the village, the place where they dare not go, Li Mo's destination today.

In the cloudy and humid land, heather grass grows along the moss, is photophobic, and has a strange coldness, which is mostly used in Xianmen to refine the green frost pill.

Thinking that if he could pick a few catties of heather grass today, maybe he would be able to say a word to those immortals in the immortal sect in person, and it would be more likely to get the immortal elixir of the immortal family and cure his mother's stubborn illness at one time, Li Mo felt that no matter how difficult it was, he would have to take this risk.

When he was less than half a mile away from Yin Wind Valley, Li Mo stopped, the sun was already hanging overhead, and the hour was just right.

At this moment, the fog in the Yin Wind Valley was dispelled a lot by the sunlight, and he could see some clearly.

Li Mo began to take out a bamboo tube and smeared the emerald green medicinal juice inside on his face and body.

This is his homemade anthelmintic medicine, and ordinary poisonous snakes will actively avoid it when they smell it. This recipe is also one of the most precious legacies his father left him!

After getting ready, Li Mo strode to the mouth of the valley, and sure enough, he saw that the stone walls covered with cyan moss could be vaguely seen in the valley, and there was no strange atmosphere in the surroundings, he was overjoyed, took out the medicine sickle, held it tightly in his hand, and after entering the valley, his eyes searched for those stone walls!

More than ten meters away, an emerald green herb with lotus leaves grows in a dense moss!

Heather!

Li Mo's breathing was tight, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly and carefully climbed over, picked the heather grass that was more than a foot high, and the soil moss connected to the roots, and put it in the back basket!

Just this heather grass is worth his hard work for more than ten days in the past!

Suppressing his excitement, Li Mo continued to search, and soon, he found another one on the stone wall in front of him.

In this way, unconsciously, Li Mo had already traveled four or five hundred meters into the valley without knowing it, and in the basket on his back, there were seven heather grass intact, Li Mo was secretly excited, he was ready to pick three more, and when the sun was not offset, he left here.

After walking along the stone wall for another twenty or thirty meters, Li Mo's figure suddenly froze, his eyes were full of horror, and his hands and feet were cold in an instant.

Less than a meter in front of him, under the stone wall, there was a pile of bones with fierce beasts!

The sharp blood-colored beast teeth of the ruler length shocked Li Mo.

According to the appearance of the skeleton, Li Mo was horrified to find that they were probably the blood-toothed wild boars that the people in the village feared the most!

Bloodtooth Boar!

"Oh my God, are these the remains of the Bloodtooth Wild Boar? They are the most powerful beasts in Caoyun Mountain, and those powerful herb pickers in the village dare not enter the Yin Wind Valley because they are afraid of encountering the Bloodtooth Wild Boar!"

"Hey, so dead, could it be that there are more powerful beasts here?"

Thinking of this, Li Mo felt that all the limbs and bones had lost their strength, and cold sweat instantly soaked his whole body, and the medicine sickle in his hand looked so weak compared to the bloody teeth in the pile of fierce beast bones, just like Li Mo.

Li Mo's vest hair stood up, he bit the tip of his tongue desperately, and began to retreat, but he accidentally tripped and sat on the ground, and the sickle in his hand slashed indiscriminately, just cutting through a piece of moss, and hitting the stone wall with a piercing rattle!

"Oops!"

Li Mo's face was as pale as paper with fright, and he only felt that the blood in his body suddenly became cold.

This time he fell, and made such a big movement, he was afraid that he might have alarmed the unknown beast.

He reluctantly struggled to get up, turned his head to look at the way he came, but only saw a thick fog covering the surroundings, it turned out that he didn't know when, the sun had deviated from here, and in the case of not being able to see things clearly, it was too difficult for him to return safely along the way he came, because, under the stone wall, there were all craggy and strange stones, and if one accidentally fell down, he would inevitably break bones and tendons and even break bones!

"Strange, why isn't there a thick fog around here?"

Li Mo discovered the abnormality, and when he turned around, he saw a pair of bright black eyes suddenly appearing next to the beast bones, staring straight at him!

"Ah......h

The poor young man who was collecting medicine screamed in fright and immediately fainted to the ground.

"Whoa, whoa!"

The bones of the blood-toothed boar were tossed aside with a thud, and a black-haired boy dressed in animal skins emerged from the ground.

It turned out that the pile of bones was hiding a hole.

"Hey, I've finally met a living person. It looks like a teenager, wait for me to go and see. ”

The black-haired boy was none other than Xiao Nu, who escaped by luck on the 'Smoke Hunt'.

Xunyan was impartial, and fell into the Yin Wind Valley neatly, smashing out a big hole more than ten meters deep.

At that time, Xiao Nu was still in a daze, and Xunyan was torn apart and turned into powder and dissipated.

The breath of the living attracted the nearest blood-toothed wild boar, as soon as it came to the entrance of the cave, a little blood light flew out of the cave, through its head, and in an instant, this body was three or four meters long, weighing no less than three thousand catties of the strongest beast in Caoyun Mountain, only a smooth skeleton and a fur remained.

All the flesh and blood essence was instantly melted away by that little bit of blood light!

Thirteen ferocious blood-toothed wild boars lived in the Valley of the Yin Wind, and in less than twenty days, they were attracted to the entrance of the cave by Xiao Fu's breath of life, and they all turned into blood-light energy.

The huge boar bones covered the entrance of this cave, and no other beasts and poisonous insects dared to come to the territory of the bloodtooth boar. Therefore, Xiao Nu was in the cave and was safely unconscious for a whole month.

It wasn't until last night that Xiao Nu woke up quietly.

As soon as he saw it, he found that there was nothing on his body, and there was a unique breath in the air after the destruction of the Smoke Seeker, which made him heartbroken.

Originally, he thought that he would soon be able to control the Xunyan number and find Su Yan's sister, but now, the Xunyan number was ruined, and he didn't know where he was.

He tried to stand up, moved his hands and feet, and immediately noticed the anomaly.

Because, he could sense the Heaven and Earth Yuan Energy of various colors flying scattered between the heavens and the earth, but no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't incorporate them into the spiritual platform as before, and then practice gong refining.

"What's going on?"

Xiao angrily waved his fist, and was surprised to find that the strength of his fist was definitely no more than a thousand catties!

"How is that possible?"

You must know that before this, he clearly remembered that he had condensed eight three-color spirit veins in one go! Even without the enhancement characteristics of the power of the spirit rhino, these eight spirit veins also allowed him to have the power of eight arcs, that is, the power of 80,000 catties!

"How did I become the way I am now? Could it be that the Heaven Snatching Technique has had such a great impact on me that the backlash has caused great damage to my body?"

As if he had been hit in the head with a hammer, Xiao Nu realized that he should quickly examine his soul.

Naturally, Xiao Fu's consciousness escaped into the Divine Palace, almost thinking that he had come to the wrong place.

The shrine in front of you, where is there still half of what it used to be?

There is still a chaotic fog all around, with the altar he is standing on as the center, the open area is just a square circle, the only difference from when he lit the star lantern is that the altar has been replaced with a miniature version of Lingxi Mountain!

Looking at Lingxi Mountain again, Xiao Nu's heart was as uncomfortable as a knife.

Lingxi Mountain, where is there still a little bit of vitality in the past?

Decay, decay, and breakage, as if the wind blows and it collapses.

Not a single contract creature is alive, not a single plant is alive, not half of it is green, and it is not possible to feel the spirit of heaven and earth.

When Xiao Nu's gaze was fixed on the middle of the mountaintop, the completely dried up pool, his heart completely sank to the ice valley.

The Soul Tree is like a dead tree that grows tenaciously in a pond of mud, its bark has fallen off and is heartbreakingly dry. There are no branches, and the trunk of the tree is faintly visible, engraved with a pattern of a three-color divine dragon guard.

Shenlongwei is also dead!

At the top of the tree, the fruit of faith hung shriveled like a dried persimmon.

Xiao Nu couldn't sense the existence of any trace of the power of faith, but he sensitively felt that this fruit of faith was not dead, it was only temporarily lacking the supply of divinity, and it had lost the source of the power of faith, like a soul tree that had exhausted its energy, withered.

Vaguely, Xiao Nu saw that on the surface of this shriveled fruit of faith, there was still the yin and yang pattern, and even the statue pattern of his own doppelganger temple, the pattern of the merit tablet, and the faint shadow of the fragment of the blood wolf Kaitianpei, they seemed to be a soul in it, and they could come back to life at any time.

Then, Xiao Nu felt a trace of warmth, it came from the faintly glowing star lamp hanging high above the fruit of faith.

As before, the three-color lanterns.

However, Xiao Nu sensed a breath from the Star Lamp, the Soul Tree, and the Fruit of Faith: weakness.

Fortunately, the star light has not been extinguished, and there is still hope for everything.

Xiao Nu comforted himself like this.

He looked elsewhere, and after the soul tree had completed a fusion with the Doppelganger Temple, the Star Lantern, and the Fruit of Faith, the domain sea that he was proud of had become a dry mud pond.

Suddenly, he found that the spirit stream that had evolved from the original three ecstasy trees had become a small ditch embedded in the mud pond of the Domain Sea, and they were connected to the three ecstasy trees, and there were constantly wisps of chaotic spiritual liquid, which was extremely difficult to find, from the ditch into the mud pond, but it was swallowed up by the chaotic-colored dry mud in the pond!

This is the only chance of life that Xiao Nu has discovered, and it also makes him rekindle the flame of hope.

He looked elsewhere, and inside the stone house, sand swallowing ants and mountain movers, had become dead fossils, with no life at all. In each stone house, there is not a single trace of medicinal materials, spirit stones, spirit crystals, magic stones, magic crystals, and even strange materials, elixirs, magic weapons, etc.

Xiao Nu's gaze stayed on the fossils of one hundred and eight sand-swallowing ants and eighty-four mountain-moving insects, and his mood was heavy.

He knew that he might have lost the opportunity to see the other disciples of Haoran Sect again, those Lingxi believers, and the Xiao family forever!

The merit platform was gone, and he gave up all the merit platforms he had cast, but he still couldn't save them, which made Xiao angry and grieved.

Suddenly, under the altar transformed by Lingxi Mountain, in an inconspicuous place, two sparks flew out, which sank into the palms of his left and right hands respectively, making his body tremble uncontrollably!

The fire of yin and yang, the fire of the center of the earth!

It is like two children who were so frightened suddenly returned to the arms of their relatives, trembling but full of joy.

Xiao Nu almost burst into tears.
