Chapter 9: A Looming Crisis

The two waited until sunset, when the sky gradually turned dark blue, before they saw a man walking in the distance.

Mu Wanling glanced at it, then stood up and said, "It's the Lie Daxia who is back." Gu Heng couldn't tell who it was from this figure, but when he heard that Mu Wanling was so sure, he also got up.

When the man approached, it was indeed a fierce slay.

Mu Wanling hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Lie Daxia, isn't my grandfather with you?"

Lie Bi shook his head and said, "I still want to ask you if he's back, it seems that he still has to be busy for a while, don't wait here, go back to the house." ”

Mu Wanling shook his head stubbornly, still sitting back on the bench and looking into the distance, Lie Bi sighed and said, "When your grandfather comes back, tell him that I will wait for him in the main hall." ”

"Yes. Mu Wan said without looking back.

After a while, the housekeeper prepared the meal, Mu Wanling didn't want to eat it, Gu Heng had to take the rice bowl and eat it hastily outside the door, and continued to wait with her.

About half an hour after the meal, Mu Tian came back with a tired face, he was already a little tired after the battle with the demon beast, and his head was a little dizzy after dealing with the tedious things in the city, but thinking that Lie Bi was still waiting for him, maybe it would bring some unexpected news, so he walked back with a strong spirit, but saw Mu Wanling and Gu Heng all the way from the door, Mu Wanling excitedly grabbed Mu Tian and said with a smile: "Grandpa, why did you come back so late?"

Mu Tian said helplessly: "After that incident, grandpa is almost dying, oh, by the way, is Lie Daxia back?"

"He's waiting for you in the main hall, grandpa, have you eaten, the food is cold, I'll help you heat it up." Mu Wanling said as she walked.

Mu Tian was extremely happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "Grandpa has already eaten, it's rare for Ling'er to be so filial, grandpa is content." ”

After the three of them entered the house, Mu Tian drank a sip of water, and then entered the main house, and Mu Wanling went out to eat with peace of mind.

Lie Bi was pacing back and forth in the house uneasily, and when he saw Mu Tian coming back, he stopped and asked, "How is the matter of the demon beast handled?"

Mu Tian's face was solemn, and he sat on the chair and returned: "I checked the ins and outs of this matter, and there are some questions that I still can't understand, these four demon beasts are indeed captured by a group of beast traffickers near Hengshan outside the Iron City, but according to them, these four demon beasts were not strong when they were captured, and they can almost get it with their head petrified Qianyi, and this petrified thousand people come here every few years to sell beasts, and I also know that his strength is in the late stage of the Ascension Realm, because he has not been able to break through, so he simply started this business." ”

"Then these monsters are not powerful when they are captured. Liebi sat down as well.

"Exactly, the four strange beasts were not abnormal at first, and then they suddenly went crazy when they were under the Colosseum, I asked the people guarding the demon beasts, and they didn't know the situation at first, and then I told them what Gu Heng said, and they remembered that there was indeed a masked black-clothed man with a hoarse voice who went through the guards and went in, and the demon beast also went crazy after this person left, and its strength suddenly increased. ”

Lie Bi said suspiciously, "The man in black?"

"I think it was the man in black who moved on the demon beast to cause this situation, and I fought with those demon beasts, and found that these four demon beasts cooperated with each other seamlessly, obviously they were trained, I think most of them were also trained by the man in black, with the intention of destroying the iron city, and the iron city will not be peaceful recently. After Mu Tian finished speaking, the psychological pressure increased sharply, "After I killed a demon beast, the other three were defeated without a fight, fell to the ground and died, when I checked, I found that the flesh and blood in the bodies of these demon beasts were mixed together, and combined with the previous surge in their strength, I guessed that the man in black used what forbidden technique he used to sacrifice his life for strength." ”

"What about Petrified Qian?" asked Liebi.

"I can't see people alive, I can't see corpses when I die, most of them are swallowed by demon beasts. When Mu Tian returned, he turned to ask, "Then how did you meet the demon clan? Those demon clans live deep in the mountains and almost don't show their faces." ”

Lie Bi Chop then slowly told the afternoon scene.

It turned out that at that time, Lie Bi Chop inspected Hengshan, except for the broken wood and scorched earth all over the mountain, and did not find anything unusual, so he walked back slowly, but he didn't expect to walk a short distance, and Chitian, who was originally patrolling around, suddenly flew to his side and said: "I feel that there are several powerful demon beasts in the Iron City, and I am afraid that one of them has reached the real human realm." ”

Lie Bi Chop listened, hurriedly instilled Xuan Qi all over his body, and rushed back, but he didn't expect to walk more than ten miles, and a long arrow was shot out of a dense grass, but fortunately, Lie Bi Cho reacted very quickly, turned around and grabbed the tip of the arrow and shouted: "Which thief dodged the sneak attack and didn't show up?"

As soon as the words were finished, more than a dozen strange-looking demon clans suddenly appeared in the grass, surrounding Liebi, how could Liebi cut how to have time to entangle, lifting the sword and turning over the mountain style to take their lives with one move, how do you know that those demon clans are extraordinary, and under the cooperation of each other, Liebi Chop tossed for a long time before killing more than half of them, and the rest of the demon clan saw that the enemy could not run, and ran away, Liebi had no time to chase, and he didn't care about resting and returning quickly, but he would go to the city only to find that the demon beast had been killed, and the city was also full of destroyed buildings and cold corpses.

"The demon clan is out of the mountain. Mu Tian groaned and said: "Hengshan is now changing, the food in the mountain must be reduced, and those who have not eaten by the demon clan seem to have attracted the attention of the human race." ”

"When I went to patrol the city again this afternoon, I specially asked some people and the guards guarding the city gate, and found that some people went out and never came back, and the guards also found that there were fewer and fewer people returning to the city recently, and I guess those demon clans have secretly eaten a lot of people. Liebi took a sip of tea and continued: "In my opinion, it is necessary to gather an army, clean up the outside of the Iron City, and drive the demon clan back to the mountain. ”

Mu Tian lowered his head and thought for a moment, his face was embarrassed, and said: "Now the city is in a mess, the army is helping to rest, and there are few soldiers here, if you want to do this, you must invite the troops in other cities to participate, but I'm afraid no city lord is willing to help." ”

"Damn!" Lie Bi Chop suddenly became extremely angry, and said to Mu Tian: "The ancient clan is muddy, each has its own camp, even Hengshan has undergone such a big change, no one in the ancient emperor's mansion has come to check, and if it goes on like this, the other clans will definitely attack us when they see that we are weak, and now the Tu clan on the other side of Hengshan is ready to move, and the crisis is right in front of us." ”

"Tomorrow I will send a few people to other cities to ask for help, and it depends on luck whether it succeeds or not. Mu Tian felt that it was still necessary to give it a try, "The man in black can't be careless about it, this time he let him run, maybe when he will come again, the necessary precautions are indispensable." ”

"If those demon beasts really died due to forbidden arts, then there must be more powerful demon beasts, and the next time the man in black comes, I don't know how many demon beasts he will bring. As soon as Lie Bi said this, Mu Tian felt that things were becoming more and more dangerous, and the two talked for a long time, and the topic gradually turned to Gu Heng's cultivation.

"How is that kid's cultivation?" asked Lie Bi Chuan curiously.

"It's very fast, and the basic things are almost learned in 20 days. When it came to this topic, Mu Tian was a little more relaxed, "Tonight, I copied the Ben Lei Recipe to him and let him practice tomorrow accompanied by Ling'er, I originally planned to teach him, but I definitely didn't have time recently." ”

Lie Bi nodded and said with a smile: "I sealed the dragon aura of the pendant on his chest, and before he left, I also told him how to seal and unseal, maybe it will come in handy in the future." ”

"This sealing technique is not something that can be learned in a few months, at least two years, are you sure he can figure it out on his own?" asked Mu Tian.

"He's young and weak now, and breaking the seal will only increase the danger, and I hope he learns it a few years later. "Liebi will slash back.

The two chatted for a few more moments before leaving until nearly midnight.

Early the next morning, just as Gu Heng was cultivating cross-legged, Mu Tian came to his courtyard, coughed, and said, "Gu Heng, I have sent you the copy of Ben Lei Jue." ”

Gu Heng hurriedly stood up, took the Ben Lei Jue and looked at it.

"This thunder trick is actually to accumulate the Xuan Qi on the other side of the direction of progress, the Xuan Qi will explode instantly, to achieve the purpose of rapid movement, the difficulty of early learning is mainly in the accumulation of Xuan Qi, the strength of the outbreak and the control of the direction, these are very energy-consuming, you can learn a lot, it depends on your understanding. Mu Tian looked at Gu Heng, who was reading carefully, and said with a smile: "I have left in advance, if you don't understand, ask Ling'er, and I will come back in a few days to see your progress." ”

"Thank you, grandpa. Gu Heng closed the book, and his heart was filled with joy, he was finally able to learn a decent mystical technique.

After Mu Tian left, Gu Heng hurriedly looked carefully from the beginning, and when he saw the words written in the book, he was very strange, and said to himself: "The outside world is full of this kind of words, and another kind of words taught by Niangjiao can't be used at all." ”

He watched alone for half an hour, and then began to gather Xuan Qi on the soles of his feet according to what Ben Lei Jue said, and the reason why Gu Heng chose the soles of his feet was because he wanted to try how high he could jump with Ben Lei Jue. Feeling that the gathering was almost over, Gu Heng dispersed the Xuan Qi, only to hear a soft sound, the others did not go to the sky, but their feet were empty, and their bodies fell to the ground unsteadily.

"Giggles......" A crisp laugh came from the courtyard gate, it turned out that Mu Wanling had been hiding outside the door and peeking, only to hear her laugh and say: "Idiot, you have gathered so much Xuan Qi, and you are the Xuan Qi explosion, is it simply to disperse the Xuan Qi." ”

Gu Hengrao smiled and said, "Ling'er knows a lot, I still have to ask for advice." ”

Ling'er crossed her waist and returned: "I see it clearly." Before Gu Heng could react, he only heard a loud noise coming from around Mu Wanling, and then Mu Wanling disappeared from Gu Heng's eyes, Gu Heng glanced around a few times, and finally found that Mu Wanling had reached the roof of his room.

It's so fast, Gu Heng was stunned, this is simply teleportation, don't say you can see it clearly, you can't see it at all.
