Chapter 37: The Lake in the Woods

Clenched his fists, feeling the powerful power coming from his body, a strong man's confidence surged into Yun Mo's heart. Although he only broke through to the late stage of Qi Induction, in the middle stage of Qi Induction, he was able to fight against Yuan Monks and Demon Beasts, and even after playing his hole cards, he could kill the opponent.

And now, Yun Mo is confident, even if he meets the Huayuan Monk again, he will really have the strength to fight, and he will not be as embarrassed as before, whether it is fighting or escaping, he will be at ease.

Now he should be able to easily deal with the average early stage cultivator, as for that kind of genius and mid-stage cultivator, if he faces it with his own strength, he is a little stretched.

And after reaching the seventh layer of Qi Induction, Yun Mo also completely mastered the first layer of Xuanqing Jiuyang's exercises, and now that he is running, both the speed of absorbing spiritual energy and the quality of refining true qi have increased several times compared to before.

Just when Yun Mo was running Zhou Tian for the second time, his complexion suddenly changed, and just when he was running Zhou Tian's True Qi just now, there was a sudden strange feeling on his body, as if something was attached to him, which made Xuanqing Jiuyang's True Qi have a strong sense of rejection, and his operation also stalled.

"Something on me?" Yun Mo's face was gloomy, and then he seemed to think of something, Yun Mo's face froze, and he immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, punching out the seal with both hands, and Xuanqing Jiuyang ran wildly.

After a few breaths, Yun Mo's right hand slapped towards his body, and two rays of light, one black and one blue, shot out from Yun Mo's body.

Seeing this, Yun Mo grabbed directly towards the void and grabbed the two rays of light in his hands.

"Spirits?"

Yun Mo looked at the two thumb-sized marks in his hand that emitted a faint light, and his expression was also condensed. He already knew from his memories that it was a means used by monks to locate and track, and the monks who were given a spiritual record, no matter where they were, could sense it with the help of the sigil.

As a means of tracking and positioning, the spirit mark is essentially a mark, which is also divided into different levels, and different levels of spirit records also have different functions, among which the higher the level of the spirit record, the more difficult it is to issue, and it is difficult for the monks who are under the mark to find it.

At present, the spirit records in Yun Mo's hands are all the lowest-level spirit records, and this kind of spirit records have only one function, that is, positioning, and the duration is also very short, only one year.

Yun Mo looked at the spirit mark in the palm of his hand, his face was also difficult to see, he knew who gave this spirit mark, it was Shi Ren who clashed with him in the caravan, at that time he suspected that Shi Ren had a tracking mark on his body, and now it seems that it is true.

Although this kind of spirit mark is the lowest level, it is not something that a random qi induction cultivator can emit, and in the same way, if he does not break through to the late stage of qi induction, whether it is divine thoughts or true qi, he may not be able to find out that he has been placed under the spirit mark on his body.

"It seems that this person is not as simple as it seems." Yun Mo raised Shi Ren's danger level by a few notches in his heart, and now it seems that he invited people to form a team in the caravan, which is obviously problematic, but he doesn't know if his map is the same as his, if it is the same, maybe a few people will meet in the Red Desolate Forest.

Yun Mo thought for a moment, and directly crushed the spirit mark in his hand, since this kind of thing was found by him, there was naturally no need to stay.

After crushing the spirit memory, Yun Mo quickly split the corpse of the demon beast with his long sword, sorted and wrapped it with true qi, and put it in the storage ring, and then headed towards the west.

Previously, when fighting with the demon beasts, several large trees in the west were also knocked down by both sides, revealing the scenery behind them, and there happened to be a tree with seven-colored leaves.

Yun Mo saw it and determined at a glance that this was the third marker point in the map.

……

On the other side of the Red Desolate Forest, in a dense forest clearing with grass and trees about two hundred miles away from Yun Mo's location, five figures were cutting down a big tree and walking out from behind the tree.

Among these five people, four people were known to Yun Mo, and they were the four people who were in the Blue Bird Caravan before, and the leader was none other than Shi Ren.

Shi Ren took the lead, holding an old map in his hand.

"Why did it stop all of a sudden? Isn't there a problem with the route? Lu Chong, who was walking behind, saw that Shi Ren suddenly stopped, and at the same time his face was extremely ugly, so he asked suspiciously.

"It's okay, there's no problem with the route, I was just bitten by a mosquito just now, and there is the fourth marker in front of me, after that, we will soon be able to get to the location of the cave." Shi Ren's face quickly returned to normal, and as he spoke, he used his true qi to jump forward, followed closely behind, and soon several people disappeared into the dense forest.

Shi Ren shuttled between the dense forests, twisting the sigil that had turned into ashes in his right hand, and his face was extremely ugly. The route he is taking now is not the route on the map, and although he can reach his destination in the end, he will need to take a detour of two days and one night.

The reason why he chose to take a detour was that the moment he entered the Red Desolate Forest, he felt the breath of the spirit mark he had placed through the sigil on his body, and soon determined that Yun Mo was also in the Red Desolate Forest. Originally, Shi Ren hated Yun Mo to the bone and wanted to trouble him, and after knowing that Yun Mo was also in the Red Desolate Forest, he decided to kill Yun Mo in the Red Desolate Forest.

It's just that he never expected that when he left the map route and walked here according to the guidance of the spirit record, the sigil on his body would automatically burn and turn into ashes.

There was only one reason why the sigil was turned to ashes, and that was the destruction of the spirit record.

The spirit record was destroyed, and Shi Ren had no guidance, so his expression changed greatly, and his face was extremely ugly.

In the same way, if his spiritual memory is destroyed, Yun Mo will also die, in addition to the spiritual memory being found and destroyed by the monk, the spiritual memory will also disappear because of the monk's death.

As for Yun Mo, did he find out the spirit record? Shi Ren never thought that if his spirit mark could be found by a qi inducing cultivator, he would not be worthy of using it.

……

When the full moon hung high in the starry sky, and the bright moonlight fell on Yun Mo through the cracks in the dense forest, he had already reached the final destination of the map.

Yun Mo stood on the branch of a towering tree, put the map into the storage ring, and then looked straight ahead.

The eye looks through the leafy trees, and at the end is a sparkling lake in the forest.

"According to the map, the treasure is on a small island in the middle of the lake, and now the lake is seen, but why hasn't there been a shadow on that island in the middle of the lake?"

The lake was not very far from Yun Mo, and between a few jumps, Yun Mo was standing by the lake. No matter how he looked, even if he covered the lake in front of him with his divine thoughts, he didn't see the slightest shadow of the island.

"Could it be that this map is fake?"

Yun Mo's face was also ugly, if the map was true and fake, then what he had done these days was a big joke.

"No way, no one will be so bored to make a fake map, the danger along the way is enough to prove that this is a real treasure map, but why can't you see the final island in the middle of the lake?"

Yun Mo was thinking, while walking slowly towards the lake, his divine thoughts also kept exploring outward, as Yun Mo deepened, after leaving his original position for dozens of zhang, there was a sense of stagnation in his divine thoughts, as if something was blocking his divine thoughts.

"Huh?"

Yun Mo stopped, his gaze looking east, something had blocked his divine thoughts before. Just when Yun Mo wanted to carefully feel the location with his divine thoughts, a strong stinging pain came from his divine thoughts, which frightened him and quickly withdrew his divine thoughts.

But even so, Yun Mo's Zhihai was still damaged, his face instantly turned pale, and a wisp of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
