Chapter 289: Mountain and Forest Girl

Water.

Only water.

Front, back, left, right, and in all directions, there is only water.

Li Mu clenched the Thunder Sword with his right hand, and pressed his left hand to his chest. There is Li Mu's most cherished "Nine Songs". These two things are something that Li Mu can't lose. Even if he can't help himself in the water now, Li Mu still has to make sure that these two things are in his hands.

How long did he drift down the water? Li Mu couldn't answer this question. It could be seven or eight days, or ten days, or even longer. After seizing the opportunity to send Shen Li to the exit, Li Mu has been floating in the dark river.

The words he said to Shen Li were not all words of comfort to Shen Li. After Li Mu found that there was a hole to the outside world, Li Mu also pinned his hopes on the vicinity of this dark river, there was another exit. That way, he might be able to get out of here at the chance. So, he gave up fighting the current altogether and let himself go with the water.

If it's someone else, make sure you're floating on the water, because you have to breathe. And for this, Li Mu doesn't have to worry about it at all. He was building up strength in the water and regaining his strength.

The water was turbulent, Li Mu hit several times in the water, and when he was intriguing with the monster and Ling Jiuhao, Li Mu also suffered a lot of injuries. Now the old wounds have not healed, and new wounds have been added. Even if there is a shark bead that accelerates healing, but it is always in a state of injury, the healing speed of the shark bead is relatively slow.

At the beginning, Li Mu's condition was not bad. But as time passed, Li Mu's strength began to fade away. Because he had nothing to eat but to starve. A person in a state of starvation can only survive for about seven days. Even if Li Mu opened his mouth and swallowed a big mouthful of water, there was no way to wipe away the feeling of hunger. The dark river has no intention of staying. Li Mu finally fainted from hunger. Before fainting, Li Mu only did one thing. He tied the Thunder Sword firmly to his body with strips of cloth.

The dark river sneaked underground for thousands of miles, and finally saw the light of the outside world in a mountain stream.

It is a lush valley with a rushing stream in the middle. It was a large stream, big enough for four or five boats to sail side by side. However, it is off the beaten track and there are no signs of ships.

In this valley like a paradise, in the valley, there is a small black beast, drinking water by the stream. This little beast is actually a small tiger. However, most tigers in the world have black stripes on a yellow background. There are rare ones, which are for the legendary white tiger. It is also rare to see in the mountains and forests. As for the Black Tiger, it is a rarer existence than the White Tiger, and there are not even many legends.

This little black tiger is no more than three feet long, with a round head and body, and looks more like a cute black cat. It kept sticking out its tongue and gurgling from the stream.

In such a valley, the little black tiger drank water quietly. There is a hint of natural harmony and serenity in this picture.

At this time, a slightly immature girl's voice came from the valley, "Ah Fu, Ah Fu, where have you been?"

Hearing the word Ah Fu, the little black tiger raised his head and probed left and right vigilantly.

I heard a clump of grass on the shore, and a teenage girl came out. The girl was slender and had beautiful black hair. He also wears a wreath made of small flowers of different colors on his head. The coarse cloth dress on her body has an ordinary style and rough stitches, but it can't stop the youthful atmosphere exuded by her body at all. The complexion on the girl's face is not so white and tender, but it looks healthier. Her eyes were clearly reflected in the stream, and she also saw the little black tiger drinking water.

"Found it!" she smiled sweetly, revealing two small tiger teeth. Then, she jumped and pounced on the little black tiger. The little black tiger did not run away, and was held in her arms. The girl rubbed the little black tiger with her face affectionately and said, "You guy, you always run around." What if I lose it?"

The little black tiger stretched out his front paws and pressed a few times in the girl's arms. The girl hugged it and walked back. But just as she turned around, she suddenly saw a dark figure in the stream. The black shadow flowed all the way down the stream, and the girl saw that the black shadow in the clear water turned out to be a man.

The girl frowned, this valley was remote, and she had only come here for the first time to chase her pet, the Black Tiger Afu. She searched all the way, but she didn't see half a figure. But now there's a man floating in the stream, what's going on?

The girl walked over with some curiosity, because she did not know where the man came from, dead or alive. She walked cautiously to the edge of the stream, took off her shoes and socks, and plunged into the stream. She put the little black tiger in her arms on the shore, and with her free hands, she grabbed the man who continued down the stream.

This man is not strong, but for a slender girl, it is still relatively heavy. She gritted her teeth and dragged him ashore with great difficulty. "Huhu, this person, it's so heavy. After the girl finished speaking, she reached out and probed the tip of the man's nose. A faint breath sprayed on her fingers. "Hey, he's still alive. The girl looked a little surprised, she pressed her hand against the man's chest, and slapped the man's cheek again, trying to wake him up. However, her actions were in vain. The man showed no signs of waking up. She was a little discouraged.

When the little black tiger saw the master's movements, it seemed that he wanted to help the little master. It opened its jaw and bit down on the man's arm. When the girl saw it, she quickly patted the little black tiger's head, "Ah Fu, why are you biting him! You're not good!" The little black tiger whimpered and let go of his mouth. At this moment, the man in front of the girl suddenly opened his eyes.

Li Mu opened his eyes and saw the scene in front of him. He covered his eyes with his hands. The bright light made him uncomfortable. "Oh, you're awake. The girl with a garland on her head like a mountain elf clapped her hands and said. And the little black tiger beside her also snorted proudly.

Li Mu squinted his eyes, he couldn't understand the girl's words at all. He subconsciously asked, "Where am I?" As soon as his voice came out, he was so weak that Li Mu himself felt surprised.

When the girl heard Li Mu's words, she showed two little tiger teeth, and she said in a stiff tone: "You are in the mountains now." This sentence, unlike the one just now, should be two different languages. For the girl's answer, Li Mu was a little dizzy. He didn't have the energy to dwell on it. After a few moments, his eyes finally adjusted to the bright light, and he looked left and right at the valley. Then his gaze fell on a few trees full of fruit beside the stream.

The fruits were red, and each one was very plump, and it looked bright and delicious.

Li Mu's stomach rang out in a timely manner. He looked at the red fruit, and his eyes shone with a faint green light. This gaze made the little black tiger shrink in fright.

Without waiting for the girl to ask anything more, Li Mu jumped up directly and ran towards the fruit tree. "Hey. The girl muttered discontentedly. And Li Mu didn't notice anything, he could only see the fruit on the fruit tree now. For a person who has been hungry for seventy or eighty days, the power that erupts at the moment when he sees food to eat may be second only to the return to the light before death.

Li Mu ran to the side of the fruit tree, and without stopping, he directly hit the fruit tree. The fruit of the tree fell to the ground. Li Mu bent down and grabbed two of them, and stuffed them all into his mouth. The wild fruits on this fruit tree, when Li Mu tasted it, it was extraordinarily sweet. The flesh is also very full, and when you want to go down, it is full of satisfaction. Li Mu kept picking up wild fruits on the ground with both hands and stuffing them into his mouth, one bite at a time, and his mouth was full of juice.

The girl and the little black tiger looked at Li Mu in a daze, she really hadn't seen such a person. She walked to Li Mu's side, looked at the fruits in Li Mu's hands, and looked at the appearance of those fruit trees, she suddenly patted her head. "Oh, this one looks like a red-tailed tree. If you eat too much fruit on it, you will become a fool!" As she spoke, she stepped forward and slapped the fruit in Li Mu's hand with one hand.

Li Mu turned his head and glared at her. The girl hurriedly said, "This can't be eaten!"

Li Mu was extremely hungry, how could he not eat the food he found at this time. So he ignored the girl's words and continued to swallow the fruit in his hand. The girl stomped her feet in anger, and there was anger in her blunt words, "Hmph, if you don't listen to me, you will become a fool!"

As soon as the girl's voice fell, Li Mu, who was gnawing on the fruit in his hand, burped, and then he fell straight to the ground.

The girl shook her head greatly, and she said to the little black tiger beside her, "Is it because my Zhongyuan words are not good?" The little black tiger snorted twice, and she didn't know whether to approve or comfort.
