……

The trees are shady, but they can't block out all the sunlight.

The core area of the West Mountain is full of collapsed peaks, which are stacked on top of each other to form a new mountain.

At the foot of this mountain, which is not very high, but it is very large, there is a slowly rising white gas, and a pot of boiling water, and yellow fat floating on it.

A thin figure stood in front of the pot, first adding a few sticks of wood to the bottom, and then groping his way to find a bag of powder wrapped in a cloth that he didn't know what it was.

He opened the cloth bag, carefully poured a small half, about three-tenths into the pot of broth, and stirred it vigorously with a black, but relatively clean stick.

After a few seconds, he approached the iron pot with his face full of stubble and dust, sniffed it carefully, and then nodded contentedly:

"Shhh...... It smells so good! ”

Xu Mu nodded with satisfaction, he looked at the broth in the pot, he was about to hold back, and his saliva flowed:

"Charles, I have to say, your package of seasoning called chicken essence is definitely the most fragrant thing I have ever seen, this ordinary pot of broth, adding it can make me salivate!"

His eyes widened, his eyes full of longing, as if he was about to pounce into the pot and feast on it in the next second.

"That's the truth, but with all due respect, what are you eating that isn't salivating?" , Charles conjured up the appearance of an old man, and said with disdain on his face.

"No, no, I don't like to eat taro fruit." Xu Mu said, then took out a hunting knife and pricked out a piece of fat and thin meat from the pot.

Regardless of whether it was hot or not, he immediately bit it.

"Hiss......"

"Hot Hot Hot !!"

Xu Mu gasped and ran quickly around the pot, fanning the wind with both hands.

"It's not cooked, you are so good at cooking wild boar meat in the second stage?" , Charles shook his head, his host, why doesn't he seem very smart lately, "If you want to eat the meat in your mouth, you have to cook it for at least another half an hour." ”

"I lied to you, hehe!"

Hearing this, Xu Mu suddenly stopped and turned his head proudly.

There were no red burns on the side of his mouth, not even water stains, because he didn't bite down at all.

"I'm just bored, alas, this meat has been cooked from yesterday afternoon to noon this day, but I'm starving."

"Since that guy can play with fire at night, he doesn't know how to help!"

Xu Mu sat on a boulder with a dejected face.

He hadn't eaten for three days, and now he was starving to death.

If he had known, he shouldn't have believed Charles's words, what kind of Xishan!

Thinking of this, Xu Mu wanted to cry without tears.

Just a few days ago, there was a sudden change in the core of the western mountain, a palace as black as ink rose from the ground, the mountain peaks toppled down, the leylines changed, and something extraordinary seemed to have happened there.

The next day, they received news and learned of rumors about the holy relic.

The guy in the Heavenly Palace proposed, go over and take a look.

Charles has reservations.

Xu Mu resolutely refused.

In the past three months, although he has gone to Xishan every day to temper and has polished his physique to a very strong body, he still does not underestimate it.

And this time, the core area of Xishan is full of dangers and too many variables.

The most important thing is that he is not sure that he will be able to return to Fengqing Village on time.

No matter what is big, he still has to keep this night.

In this way, the gray pupils in the Heavenly Palace were also a little helpless.

Born by chance, it is definitely not something he can get his hands on in one night.

If you can't get it right, he will have to die here like this with this life, and the gains outweigh the losses.

But it was in such a tangled process that suddenly, countless people with abilities lived in Fengqing Village.

They offered a very good price to move in, and did not bully the small.

As a result, the population of the entire Fengqing Village suddenly increased by more than half.

The first order is everywhere, and the second order is as many as dogs.

- The strength of these supernatural people may not be particularly strong, but the number of them is really large, and most of them are scattered cultivators, temporarily traveling in groups to seek opportunities.

In addition, there are some lone abilities who are extremely strong, and they have at least a three-stage beginner level.

In such a situation, does he still need a vigil?

Xu Mu hesitated, so he watched for the night.

On the first night, the strange spirits who entered the village were killed by a monk who got up at night to go to the toilet.

Occasionally, those who walk into the village are scared away by the terrifying ability fluctuations in the village.

So Charles shifted from a wait-and-see attitude to a feasible attitude.

On the second and third nights, it was like this, so Xu Mu couldn't resist the desire for the holy relics and agreed to the decision to enter the West Mountain.

That night, he watched with his own eyes as the gray pupil took control of his body, walked into the West Mountain, and was then chased and killed by several fourth-stage demons.

That night, the gray pupils were a little suspicious of life.

If it was in the past, as long as he didn't touch the core taboo, he could walk sideways in Xishan.

But that time, he was chased and killed by countless fourth-stage demons, and even encountered a fifth-stage domain master demon beast with a humanoid snake tail.

So, he completely broke off the idea of approaching the palace, and tried his best to escape, until it was almost dawn, and he was able to get rid of the entanglement of those terrible beings.

This night's escape made the gray pupil physically and mentally exhausted, and just when he had the intention of retreating and wanted to return, he unexpectedly found an underground palace under a collapsed mountain peak.

However, they found a dungeon.

In that underground palace, there are many treasures of ancient times.

Bronze, jade, pearl...... There are also many texts written in ancient texts.

Those are the secrets of the night.

So he sat down on the floor and began to study.

Walk?

Inexistent.

If he doesn't go, Xu Mu can't go, because with his own ability, he can't get out of Xishan at all.

So he sat on the ground too.

It's just that unlike him, the most valuable thing Xu Mu found was a pot.

- He's cooking meat in that pot right now.

The two of them dug in the earth during the day and at night to find things, and in three days, they looted many treasures.

But the problem is, there's nothing to eat in those things.

It's not like the cemetery hill where you can see wild fruits everywhere or you can kill some wild beasts.

These days, Xu Mu has seen the weakest big demon, and it is also the second stage.

—the wild boar that was now boiling in his pot.

He's been cooking for a whole day.

"When will this be ripe......

Twenty minutes later, Xu Mu walked to the pot boredly, and he looked at his face from the big pot of broth.

Now he is no longer the young man with clear eyebrows, but a wild man.

Yes, Xu Mu's current state can no longer be described as embarrassed.

Before coming to Xishan, he had not shaved for three months because of fatigue from training, and his hair grew long.

After coming to the West Mountain, he worked day and night to dig the soil, and his body was dirty, and his rags were full of cuts, like an indigenous savage.

"Thankfully, no one saw it."

Xu Mu comforted himself, his image was still there.

But in the next second, in the distant woods, there was a faint sound of hurried footsteps.

Xu Mu's eyes condensed slightly, his body tensed, and he quickly grasped the hunting knife on his waist.

This is the core area of Xishan, who will be able to come here?

"It's the aroma!"

A young voice picked open the bushes in surprise, and then he saw Xu Mu's eyes full of dust and wildness.

The man looked at the pot, then at Xu Mu, who looked strange, and said with a pale face:

"This ...... Savage seniors. ”

"Can you give us something to eat?"
