The Qiulin Mountains are not very far from Yu County, but they are not very close, and when Chen Mu followed Xu Hongyu all the way across and arrived at the foot of the Qiulin Mountains, the sun had already passed noon and gradually fell to the west bank.

"It looks like I'm going to spend the night in the mountains today."

Xu Hongyu looked at the sun and estimated the strength of several people's feet.

Xiaohe hesitated slightly: "Isn't it a bit ...... to spend the night in the mountains?"

"It doesn't matter."

Xu Hongyu shook his head and said: "There are no dangerous monsters in the Qiulin Mountain Range, and you can easily hunt some meat when you enter the mountain, in fact, it's nothing to travel all night, but then you have to go to the city to rest for a night when you get to Anyu County." ”

For the martial artists of the Yijin Realm, as long as there is meat and water, it is nothing to stay awake for two or three days, but this trip is to deal with monsters, and it is natural to maintain a state of energy and blood before arriving at the place.

Chen Mu had no objection to Xu Hongyu's proposal.

Although it seems a little shabby to sleep in the barren mountains and mountains, there are two women around him who are both pleasing to the eye, it is nothing, and his days in the city have been a little boring for so many years.

Xu Hongyu saw that Chen Mu and Xiaohe had no other objections, so she immediately set off and entered the Qiulin Mountain Range, and Chen Mu and Xiaohe also followed all the way.

And just after the figures of several people disappeared into the mountains.

in the bushes.

Some gray insects lying on the dry and rotten wood silently flapped their wings and disappeared into the forest.

……

It was getting dark.

Several people have penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Qiulin Mountains.

I didn't encounter any monsters along the way, and I didn't even see a few beasts, only Chen Mu had a faint feeling of being peeped at, but when he jumped up the tree and looked around, he didn't see any person or monsters, as if it was just an illusion of entering the dense mountain forest for the first time.

"That's it."

Xu Hongyu looked at the sky, slowed down her pace, and then drew her sword out of its sheath and slashed it a few times at will, and a few nearby trees with thick bowls were cut down, and slowly fell down with a loud sound.

Chen Mu saw that Xu Hongyu was familiar with building a temporary residence, so he said, "I'll go hunt some meat." ”

Let's talk about it.

He got up and took a few leaps and disappeared into the trees.

After Chen Mu's figure disappeared, Xiao He looked at Xu Hongyu and chuckled, "He still obeys Miss's command as always, and there are no other proposals for a day today." ”

Xu Hongyu looked calm and said: "It's the first time he's out of the city, he doesn't know much about the outside, and he doesn't have any experience in dealing with monsters. ”

The frivolous demeanor of the young man has never been seen in Chen Mu.

This is also one of the reasons why she only brought Xiaohe and Chen Mu to carry out this mission, Xiaohe must be obedient to her, and Chen Mu knows the importance of proportion, and will definitely not mess around, nor will it drag down the team.

……

Away from where Xu Hongyu was.

Chen Mu glanced up, found the tallest tree, and quickly jumped up, went up to the treetops, and looked at the forest below, although the leaves were dense and blocked the view, but still could see some movement.

It didn't take long for his gaze to fall in a distant direction, and then he leaped over the tree, and soon came to the place, raised his right hand, felt a stone, and threw it downward.

Syllable!

In the forest below, a grizzly bear was foraging for food, and the skull was directly shattered by the stone in his hand.

"It's not a monster......

Chen Mu fell from the tree, examined the body of the grizzly bear, and shook his head slightly.

Monsters are not only a great evil for the world, but they are also full of treasures, even if they are relatively low-level monsters, their skin and bones are valuable, and the blood contained in their flesh and blood is far more than that of ordinary beasts.

If you often eat fresh demon meat, then your own qi and blood will be much more abundant than others, and it will often be faster to cultivate the body quenching method, and it will be easier to impact the realm of easy tendons and even forging bones.

Xu Hongyu was hunting demons outside, and after coming back, she reached the Yijin Consummation after some retreat, and it was precisely because of the frequent appearance of demons during that time that it was both an experience and an accumulation of qi and blood, which made her progress rapidly.

But.

Monsters are not very common in normal times.

Although its own intelligence is not as good as that of humans, it is also more shrewd than ordinary beasts, and they are very good at hiding themselves, and often only when some changes occur in the heavens and the earth, which makes them become a little manic, they will frequently haunt.

Like in the cold winter before, it was the change of celestial phenomena that caused many monsters to be affected.

This grizzly bear weighed seven or eight hundred pounds.

Chen Mu stretched out his hand to lift it, but he directly picked it up with one hand, and after the limit of Yi Jin, the strength that his body limbs could exert was far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

"Hmm...... What is that? ”

And just when Chen Mu was about to carry the grizzly bear back, he suddenly stared slightly and looked in a direction not far away.

He didn't see anything, but he vaguely felt a gray and rotten aura over there, which made him feel a faint feeling of discomfort.

Chen Mu frowned slightly, and after a slight groan, he put down the grizzly bear in his hand and walked in that direction.

A moment later.

A moor appeared in front of his eyes.

The swamp emitted a strong rancid smell, and there were some weird gray insects above that flapped their wings and swirled, buzzing, making Chen Mu more and more uncomfortable, his brows furrowed even more, and he turned around to leave.

But suddenly he thought about it again, and after taking a few steps back, he took out the fine iron knife he carried with him and swung it out.

Wow!

A few gray bugs were torn apart by the strong wind of the knife, and at the same time, the rancid moor exploded at once, splashing countless rotting mud and muddy water.

As soon as Chen Mu swung his knife down, he jumped and fell high above the treetops, not touched by sewage and saprolite, and at the same time, his eyes also fell to the rotten swamp, and then his eyes froze slightly.

"Sure enough......"

His face became a little unpleasant.

I saw a corpse appear in the blasted rotten sludge, and it was not lying horizontally, but standing upright in the mud, covered in dirt and mud.

No wonder he felt very uncomfortable, and vaguely felt that the smell was not quite right, but it turned out to be a corpse smell!

He suddenly made a move because he recognized the strange gray bug, which seemed to be a kind of insect called corpse worm that he had seen in a 'bug record', which belonged to the monster that did not enter the stream, and often only entrenched near corpses.

In addition, he used to be a servant for many years, often carrying corpses, and he was very sensitive to the smell of corpses, but now that the realm is up, there is abundant qi and blood, and all kinds of perceptions are far sharper than before, even if it is the corpse odor mixed in the mud and dirt, he can still keenly catch a trace.

There was a corpse buried in the moor, deep in the mountains, and it didn't look like it was decomposing.

Chen Mu looked at the corpse carefully, and finally shook his head.

In this kind of place in the depths of the Qiulin Mountain Range, ordinary people will not come in, and he is not a quick head hunter now, there is no need to start investigating the case with a corpse, and the matter of hunting demons is more important.

Think of it.

Chen Mu prepared to leave from the tree.

But suddenly he thought that something was wrong, and turned his head again, squinted his eyes at the corpse in the moor, which was gradually submerged again, and suddenly felt a stone in his right hand, and threw it abruptly.

While!!!

The stone hit the corpse's head, but the scene where the corpse's head exploded did not happen, but there was a strange sound of gold and iron, as if it was not a corpse that hit, but a bronze and iron figure!

Looking at this strange scene, Chen Mu suddenly narrowed his eyes.

can make a corpse comparable to the hardness of copper and iron, reminds him of a demon method in the Great Xuan Taboo Record, which is called 'Corpse Refining Method', it is said that it can refine the corpse into invulnerability, and the power is infinite, but this method belongs to the Great Xuan taboo, and anyone involved in this law is a felony and will be beheaded!

"Corpse Refining ......"

Chen Mu muttered, and another text appeared in his heart.

——In the 458th year of the Great Xuan Calendar, there was a demon sect 'Heavenly Corpse Gate' was born, and the disciples of the sect caused chaos in the world with refining corpses, and then the Great Xuan court was shaken, and the edict ordered the Green Dragon Army and the White Tiger Army to dispatch to exterminate them, and then announced to the world that all those who have refining corpses are serious crimes, and they can be killed on the spot if they are investigated everywhere, and there is no need to pay tribute......

This is a record he saw in the chronology of the Great Xuan Chronicle.

Although it is only a light stroke, but the chronology of the Great Xuan Chronicle, every one of them is a major event that has shaken the world, this so-called 'disaster in the world', is certainly not as simple as a few words of light and fluttering, most of them are really disturbing the world, causing a big accident, which made the entire Great Xuan shake, and finally attracted the imperial court to send a large army to encircle and suppress it, completely destroying it.

After all, it was specially recorded that the Daxuan Imperial Court directly destroyed the sect with a heavy hand, and even ordered the whole world to destroy it afterwards, which is still a very small minority in the history of more than a thousand years.

Swish!

Chen Mu's figure flickered, fell from the tree, came to the corpse, suddenly lit up the knife, and slashed over.

I only heard a clang, and it was a loud sound of gold and iron, but this time Chen Mu's knife was fierce, and he cut off the head of the corpse.

The whole corpse was indeed not a human figure made of copper and iron, but it was indeed a corpse, but its interior was eerily pitch-black, like pig iron.

It's an iron corpse.

It is said that among the refining corpses of the Heavenly Corpse Gate, the iron corpse belongs to the lowest quality, but the body is still as strong as iron, and after refining, it can be manipulated by secret methods, like a puppet.

"Who is so bold as to refine corpses here?"

Chen Mu looked at the corpse and muttered.

In today's world, the Great Xuan Court is weak, and sure enough, all the demons and monsters have emerged, and he has encountered the forbidden thing of 'corpse poison jade' several times in Yucheng before, and now he has encountered an even more taboo corpse refining.

It is said that the corpse poison jade seems to belong to the remnants of the Heavenly Corpse Gate of the year, and somehow it was not completely erased by the imperial court, so that later it was specially decreed to strictly prohibit the refining of this thing, and violators were punished.

Thinking of this, Chen Mu shook his head again.

It has been hundreds of years since the Heavenly Corpse Gate was destroyed, and now some remnants have reappeared in the world, which also shows that the deterrence of the Great Xuan Imperial Court has long ceased to exist, and in the future troubled times, perhaps all kinds of forbidden objects in the past will reappear.

"I don't know if Xu Hongyu knows about this."

After Chen Mu groaned for a short time, he no longer picked up the hunted grizzly bear, but identified the direction and quickly returned to the original way.

……

It was dark.

Between the dense woods appeared a clearing, in which the trunks of some thick trees were pressed against each other, and a rough but wide shed was erected.

A fire lit up in front of the shed, and Xu Hongyu stood quietly in front of the fire.

Xiaohe in the back is busy covering some leaves on the shed to complete the final construction.

Suddenly.

Xu Hongyu's eyes moved slightly, looked to the side, and heard some movement.

"Are you back...... Wrong. ”

She first looked at her hands with a calm expression, but then she noticed something, her face changed slightly, and one hand immediately rested on the hilt of the sword at her waist, and shouted coldly at the woods: "Who? Come out! ”

Chen Mu is just one person.

But the sound of the approaching footsteps in the woods at this moment was dense, and they were all very heavy.
