In the sky to the south of the source of vitality, a green shadow suddenly passed. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoAs soon as the herdsmen on the land heard the movement, they raised their heads to look, but the green shadow had already disappeared.

Mu Tian lay on Qinghong's body, and the breeze blew her hair like green silk. She held her hands gently on its scales to keep it balanced, and the transparent scales shone like emerald green in the sunlight. This was the first time she had harnessed her own dragon, and it was too thin to carry herself. But now it flies so smoothly and rapidly, giving full play to the advantage of the green dragon's speed.

The joy and excitement of riding a dragon for the first time is indescribable. Tentatively, she let go of her hands and threw her body into the air, using only dragon mastery to control her direction. Together, they skimmed across the blue sky and through the clouds, as fast as a gale, leaving only a string of green phantoms, leaving the white clouds far behind. At that moment, she truly felt that she and her dragon had become one, and it was really like a childhood dream - to become a dragon and fly freely.

Mu Tian looked at Qinghong and couldn't help but marvel at its growth speed. It had only been less than two days since it had escaped from the Dragon Hall and had just rescued itself from the Big-headed Eagle, and its body had grown to the size of a full-grown horse. What surprised her even more was its wings, Qinghong's wings spread out parallel to each other, more than twice the length of his body, and dense scales spread over it like small shields.

When Mu Tian saw such a shocking scene, he couldn't help but think in the depths of his heart: If Mu Ye was allowed to see it, he would definitely regret that he had no beads in his eyes and beat his chest...... However, the young dragon's growth was so rapid that he didn't even expect it, let alone him?

Mu Tian has begun to call Mu Ye's name in her heart, the past respect is long gone, and the former worship is covered by a scar in front of her eyes.

It was on Qinghong's long shoulders, a scar the size of a gold coin, and new flesh glowing with purple. That's where the guards in the dragon hall shot through with crossbow arrows. Although the wound had healed and scarred, Mu Tian felt a pain in her heart as soon as she recalled that scene, and her hatred for Mu Ye became stronger.

Her fingers stroked unnaturally. Perhaps the scar was still fresh, but the dragon felt the touch, and it hissed beneath it, and then flew faster, as if it wanted to shake off the pain and grief for its master.

Looking down from the air, the landscape on the ground was unobstructed, and Mu Tian began to feel this realm she had never stepped into with her heart. Although most of the southern part of the Source of Vitality Continent was under the jurisdiction of the Pastoral Capital, and there were several capitals that she was familiar with, she had never been here before.

Because when she was a young girl, whenever she asked about this land, the scholars of the University would say: It is one of the fastest places in the world where the sun sets...... It is bordered by a chilling, ethereal cold continent...... It's a place where all kinds of ghosts and spirits live, and it's synonymous with death. The land is barren because of the cold...... The human heart is spoiled by the cold...... No one wants to go there. Except, of course, for those prisoners who were assigned to guard the frontiers.

At that time, she believed in the words of the Shepherd scholars, so even if she occasionally went out hunting with the nobles and rode a horse to look south, she would not set foot in that barren land.

But now? She's flying there—to the south, a land that is considered barren and barren. This is the place she thought of when she decided to leave, and it seemed that this was the only place to welcome her. And the note she left for her mother was only these two words.

The farther south she went, whether it was psychologically or otherwise, she felt the temperature around her decrease. However, she was ready to accept the desolation that was coming. However, when she looked below, the vast expanses of green grass on the grassland fluctuated like a vast green sea, and occasionally herds of cattle, sheep and horses galloped in it like a fish leaping, and the shepherd hummed a little song leisurely, completely unaffected by the war in the north. The river extends in all directions, like the roots of a flourishing ancient tree, sending the source of life everywhere. Mountains and valleys appear one after another, and different heights grow different colors and types of vegetation, layer upon layer, as if the painter had applied dye.

Her eyes saw the real picture, which was far from what the scholars of the University of Muqing called a "barren land". To be precise, it's the opposite. Mu Tian didn't know what the reason for his conclusion was, or what his purpose was, and she didn't even think that even the university scholars themselves had been here. Or perhaps, this place was indeed desolate as he said before, and no one wanted to come here, so this land was preserved and life was continued.

But no matter how this place has evolved so far, Mu Tian only thinks that it is not bad for her to choose a place to live in the future. The next thing she needs to do is to seriously find a place, a capital that doesn't need to be too big, or even a village that she can accept. But...... She looked at Qinghong below her, and she knew in her heart that no matter where she went, this dragon would cause an uproar, and the news was bound to be brought to the capital of herds. So every time she flew over a capital or village, she didn't stop, and just kept flying south, not knowing what she was expecting.

The farther south you go, the thinner and colder the air becomes, and the capital and villages become scarcer. But Mu Tian could still see groups of three merchants hurrying in the direction she was flying to. Rich and wealthy men jolted along in ornate carriages, surrounded by strong mercenaries. Occasionally, you can see a group of armored knights dressed in unknown family patterns, and old women who walk slowly in ragged clothes. She didn't know where they were going, maybe they had no purpose as much as she did......

Because the temperature at high altitude was too low, and Mu Tian only wore a thin silk dress, the cold made her only control Qinghong to fly at low altitude. When the huge dragon wings roared by, many passers-by who had never seen a dragon thought that it was the dragon guardian who had descended here, and knelt down to worship.

After flying like this for several hours, the sun seemed to hide in the clouds, and the sky was dark. Without the sun, Mu Tian felt a little cold in her body, and she saw that the occasional pedestrian had already put on thick robes and cloaks to protect her from the cold. She had the idea of buying a few of their clothes to protect herself from the cold, but it occurred to her that she didn't even have a copper coin on her.

She regretted that when she left the Big-headed Eagle, she didn't have a single gold coin with her, but there were two large boxes of gold coins on it. Even if you don't take gold coins, you should be able to change into a dress or two if you don't take off the accessories on your body.

But she only took the long dagger that the guard wore around his waist. The long dagger was so delicate, it didn't look like a weapon, the threads rotated on the hilt, especially the red jewel on it......

She thought of the red gem and immediately took the dagger from her waist and removed the jewel that had been set in it. With a slight smile on her face, she finally found something to replace her clothes.

When the sun peeked out of the dark clouds, Mu Tian decided to take a break and replenish some energy. She ordered Qinghong to descend to a clear lake and drink the clear water inside. The lake was surrounded by a large area of tall and dense vegetation, like reeds but with thick stems, and if she hadn't been flying in the air, she wouldn't have noticed that there was a clear lake here.

The water is crystal clear, and fat black trout swim around. Although there was some protest in her stomach, she still gave up the idea of catching fish and roasting it, the thin silk on her body could not resist the cold here, let alone get soaked. Finally, she found a bush of wild strawberries around, the strawberries on it were big and watery, she picked a few of them and sat on the rocks by the lake and slowly chewed the sweet and juicy berries, watching Qinghong stretch out his long neck and drink the lake water.

At this time, the lake was calm and unwavering, and she could hear all kinds of insects and birds around her.

Suddenly, there was a noise discordant with the sounds of nature coming from far and near, and she could tell that it was a human voice, and there was more than one.

She got up and cleared the clumps of vegetation. I thought: If it's a passerby, I can just exchange that ruby for a few kaftans.

But the farther she went, the more uneasy the noise became. Because the noise was mixed with crying and roaring, and a few malicious laughter, usually these voices were mixed together, and no one would think that something good was happening.

Sure enough, when the figures of several people came into her eyes, she frowned. This vegetation only grows on the edge of this clear lake, and when you go out, you can see a small dirt road, and there are five people on the side of the road at this time. She saw three soldiers in black armor with a red tiger emblazoned on it, a symbol of the family crest. However, they are doing things that are incompatible with the duties of soldiers. A scrawny old woman was trampled on by one of the soldiers, and her whole body convulsed. The remaining two soldiers were smiling lewdly at a weak girl beneath them.

The girl cried and begged, and the shabby robe had been pulled down to her waist, revealing a snow-white chest. One of the soldiers was about to take off his armor and further assault her.

"Stop!" Mu Tian shouted angrily, and the crisp sound frightened the surrounding birds, and at the same time made the three unprepared soldiers break out in a cold sweat.

They have been walking here for a while, and there are many pedestrians passing by. But those who are interested in seeing their family crest should know that this is not something they can provoke, and they all go around for fear of bringing disaster to themselves. This sudden sound made them think that they had met some powerful and nosy nobleman. However, when they saw only a weak woman standing on the side of the road, they had no worries in their hearts. And I saw Mu Tian wearing a thin green silk dress, the hollow place was snow-white, and her tall figure was just ...... Only the veil on his face made it difficult to see his face. It was enough to make the three soldiers lick their lips, and it was clear that it wasn't their business.

One of the soldiers let go of the hand that was clasping the arms of the girl under him, and walked towards Mu Tian with a lewd smile, saying in a thick southern accent as he walked: "Brothers, it seems that the masked woman is very lonely and wants to join us in the crotch?" He deliberately said the "crotch" very heavily, and the other two soldiers naturally understood what it meant, and laughed one after another.

The soldier shook his head and approached, and the smile on his face disappeared when he saw clearly that Mu Tian still had a long dagger in his hand. He drew the long sword at his waist and clasped his hands tightly. Although he was careful, he still said: "It seems that the heroine wants to get a little 'sweetness' before she is willing to join." ”

"Which family are you from?, how dare you be so rampant!" Mu Tian asked coldly.

She looked at the blood-red tigers on their bodies, but she couldn't remember which family's crest it was. However, this is also normal, there are many fiefs under the capital of the pasture (the capital city that declares allegiance to the capital of the paste), and all kinds of strange family crests are dazzling, such as lions, tigers, bows and arrows, the sun, and the red carp...... But no matter which family he belongs to, it will only bring shame on that family.

"I'll get under my brother in a while, and my brother will tell you well. The soldier approached slowly, fantasizing about how to subdue the little wild cat without damaging her delicate flesh. However, before he could think about it, the next second, the cold blade hit his neck, bringing a burst of fragrance.

He didn't see how the woman in front of him came to him, but the facts were in front of him. The long sword clenched in his hand couldn't help but let go and fell to the ground.

"Woman...... Spare your life!" the soldier who was still full of obscene words just now immediately closed his eyes and his legs trembled, "I...... We're soldiers of the Wood family, you know...... It's Tiger Wood...... If...... If you kill me, our family will definitely not let you go......"

There was no response, only to feel the cold blade cut across his neck. He opened his eyes, and a pair of bright, cold eyes looked at him without a trace of emotion.

"Let them go. Mu Tian said softly.

The soldier swallowed his saliva, broke out in a cold sweat, and shouted tremblingly at the people behind him: "Brothers...... Fast...... Let them go. ”

Seeing this, the other two soldiers hurriedly let go of the old woman and the girl under them. After the girl was freed, she hurriedly ran to the old woman's side regardless of her naked upper body, helped her up, and then hid behind Mu Tian, looking at them cautiously.

"Female ...... Woman. The soldier, who still felt the blade, trembled and wailed.

Seeing that the girl and the old woman were safe, Mu Tian slowly removed the dagger from his neck, leaving a bloody mark on it.

The soldier who had regained his freedom did not even dare to take the long sword on the ground, so he immediately retreated behind the two soldiers behind him. His expression slowly changed from horror just now to hatred, but he still couldn't hide his fear of Mu Tian.

"Don't you want to leave?" Mu Tian tried his best to maintain a steady tone, hoping that they could leave as soon as he said, and that they would be safe with each other. His foul language just now had already made her feel murderous, but she told herself that she would never point a knife at them unless she had to.

But the situation in front of her told her that it couldn't be.

Except for the one who was still a little jealous of him, the other two were staring at her. But she could see that there was also a trace of incomprehension and fear hidden under this fierce eye.

"Let's go......" the soldier behind the two whispered, his tone trembling slightly.

The other two ignored it, licking and licking their chapped lips, their swords clenched in their hands and slowly approaching.

They hadn't experienced what had just happened, and they couldn't have felt the fear in his heart, and they just thought that the idiot had accidentally been caught by her. Even though she may really know how to defend herself, she is a real soldier. What's more, there are three of them, all dressed in armor, with sharp swords, and they can't deal with a woman with a tulle dagger?

Watching them slowly approach, Mu Tian frowned slightly, she knew that this was inevitable.

The two soldiers began to accelerate at a distance of more than ten meters from her, and their swords swung at her with a deadly blow. They had no intention of keeping her alive, as they had been doing.

Mu Tian took a few steps back, shielding the two ordinary people behind her while fending off their attacks with a long dagger. Although she couldn't hurt her a little for the time being, she was a little scrambling when she was caught between two men who had a lot more strength than her, and she was also worried.

Seeing that she was a little overwhelmed, the two soldiers slashed her even more fiercely. However, if they have any martial arts, at most they have practiced assassination and slashing on the training ground for many years, the kind of "martial arts" that anyone can do. But they think that these are enough to deal with a woman, but now it is a little difficult.

One of the two soldiers was a lewd-looking man, and in addition to desperately swinging, a pair of thief eyebrows and mouse eyes were looking for something everywhere. When he saw that Mu Tian had been protecting the two people behind him, he was overjoyed, and with a turn of his eyes, the blade of the long sword actually left Mu Tian and turned to the weak girl.

"Ah......h

Mu Tian didn't expect him to attack the girl, so he didn't think much about it, and hurriedly threw the long dagger. The dagger held back the man's attack, but she had no weapon of her own. Seeing this, another Wood soldier immediately stabbed her sword into her snow-white neck.

Mu Tian saw the roaring sword blade, so he could only dodge backwards as much as possible. The sword didn't leave a mark on her snow-white neck, but it cut her veil, leaving only one side of the veil to fall to the ground walteringly.

The two soldiers, including the one behind who was hesitating to step forward, were stunned when they saw her face.

"Yo, no wonder you cover your face...... Originally...... It turned out to be an ugly monster!"

The "rat-faced" soldier laughed, not just because he saw her face, but because his plan had succeeded, and now Mu Tian, who had no weapons, was a little lamb to be slaughtered in his heart.

"But...... This ugly monster also has a bit of charm...... It's not like it's still a place. That's right, no man should want to her if she's so ugly, right?" he licked his chapped lips again and looked at Mu Tian evilly.

Mu Tian looked coldly at them who were slowly approaching, and slowly put his hand to his lips.

"Why? want to use your mouth? haha......" Mouseface was still chattering and laughing lewdly, and the soldiers behind him were already trembling, and he had a sense of foreboding.

When the strange voice sounded, the smile on the "rat face" slowly stiffened. A green whizz by, taking him away in an instant. A scream echoed in the air, tearing the nerves of the others, whether it was the other two soldiers or the people behind Mu Tian. When the screaming stopped, the sky began to scatter some red, gooey objects, the stumps of "Mouse Face".

"Ah......h

The people who witnessed all this, except for Mu Tian, everyone else screamed. The girl and the old woman stepped back and back with their eyes closed, away from the flesh and blood. The other soldier, who was still holding a long sword, turned pale and his eyes widened in horror. When he reacted to turn around and run away, the terrifying green color struck again......

When it was all over, the two soldiers who were originally standing in front of Mu Tian were left with only the disgusting smell of blood in the air. A green dragon roared to a halt beside Mu Tian, shaking its head, its narrow blue eyes radiating anger, and the exposed fangs dripping with blood-red liquid.

As soon as the old woman saw the green dragon in front of her, she almost fainted. After stabilizing his body, he hurriedly pulled the girl next to him to kneel, muttering something in his mouth.

The only surviving of the three soldiers stood in the distance, his legs trembling, and his soaked pants should have been visible if it weren't for the heavy armor. He didn't know whether to run or resist, and his legs collapsed in disobedience, and he fell to his knees with a thud.

“...... Lord Qingzhi spared his life...... "He was glad that his head was still sober at this time, although in this era, he had never seen a dragon, but he still had a little common sense, and he knew that the person who controlled the dragon was called the Qingzhi. But even if he let him think about it with a few more heads, he would never have thought that the beautiful girl in front of him was a master.

He regretted a little that he hadn't taken the opportunity to run away just now, and kneeling here proved that he still had a little thought about the woman in front of him just now, but he hoped she wouldn't think so. The green dragon roared softly, his heart twitching with each roar.

Mu Tian walked towards him slowly, and the smell of blood rushed towards him at the same time. He kept his head down, fearful as a child who had made a mistake waiting for punishment from an adult. However, to his surprise, Mu Tian stopped at a distance of more than ten meters from him.

"Spare your life, go back and tell the patriarch of your family, don't spend all your energy on oppressing the people. Darkness has come, so do it yourself!" Mu Tian said indifferently.

"...... darkness?" the soldier repeated silently in his heart, these words scared him far more than the green dragon in front of him. If it had been just now, he would have thought she was crazy, or he wouldn't have appeared in this cold realm in a thin veil. But after what had just happened, he had no reason to doubt.

"Ming...... Got it. The soldier's voice trembled like that of a little girl, but his legs, kneeling on the ground, did not lift up, and his eyes looked at her cautiously.

Mu Tian understood at this time that he didn't dare to get up without his permission, so he shook his head and said, "You go, remember what I said." ”

As if the dog had received permission from its owner, the soldier hurriedly stood up and ran behind him.

Mu Tian watched his stumbling back keep falling and getting up, ridiculously funny like a clown in armor.

She turned to look at the last two people who were still kneeling, she didn't expect things to develop like this, and remembered that the purpose of looking for them at that time was just to change one or two long clothes.

"The Dragon Guardian has arrived, and the Dragon Guardian blesses...... The Dragon Guardian has arrived, and the Dragon Guardian blesses ......"

The old woman still had her eyes closed, her head facing the ground, and she prayed incessantly. And the girl who was pulled by her and knelt on the ground on the side, although she also followed her and chattered, she still carefully raised her head and looked at Mu Tian. When she saw Mu Tian walking towards them, her head lowered in fear.

Mu Tian walked up to them and gently held the old woman's withered arm with his hand, trying to get them up. The old woman's body trembled and hesitated, but she still stood up.

Mu Tian looked at it. The wrinkles on the old woman's face are like furrows, and her silver-white messy hair should have not been taken care of for a long time. The girl standing next to her should be a few years younger than herself, with a good face and a thin body.

"Where are you from, and where do you want to go?" Mu Tian's tone was as soft as possible, trying to keep them from fearing themselves.

The old woman trembled and wanted to answer Mu Tian's two questions, but perhaps her emotions were still trapped in the blood and shock just now, and she could not express them clearly. In the end, it was the girl next to her who let Mu Tian know that they were villagers from a remote village in the north of the capital of Muzhi. Both father and mother were drafted into the army, while she and her grandmother fled to the south to escape the sudden war. Hearing this, Mu Tian sighed imperceptibly, how many innocent people have been displaced by the war.

And when they mentioned their final destination, Mu Tian's bright eyes were clouded with doubt.

"Silverstreak? there...... Isn't it already in ruins?"

"It's Silvermark Castle," the girl said surely, her voice bright, not as timid as before, "Grandma and I also heard from the people in the village that a new lord has appeared there...... Integrity...... Aimin ...... I heard that the Silver Stain Castle has been rebuilt, and all the people who have come to take refuge are welcome, as well as free knights and Terran warriors. And...... And it is said that the lord is also a dragon wielder...... Just like you. ”

The girl's words stirred up a thousand waves in Mu Tian's heart, the girl's sincere appearance didn't look like she was lying, and she didn't have that need. She looked at Qinghong, and then looked behind her, the southern sky was cloudless, and it was cold all the time. But there was warmth in the cold, which made her seem to see the light of faith again.

"Just go there. Mu Tian seemed to be answering the girl, and as if he was saying to himself.

Neither the girl nor the old woman answered, and they did not know how to answer.

"Let me take you there......" Mu Tian turned his head to look at them, "but first, can you lend me a few clothes first." When Mu Tian said this, there was a hint of shame on Frost's face. When the girl saw her sister, who was not a few years older than her, she couldn't help but laugh and hurriedly ran to look for suitable clothes in the parcel that had been scattered by the soldiers.

Mu Tian looked at the girl, and at this time, she suddenly remembered the poem of a bard who traveled all over the world:

The world is big,

You're just surviving in a tiny place,

You think it's the world.

When you really go out,

only to find out,

The world is big.

"Silvermark Castle will be my next world. She muttered.
