Chapter 33: Where the Heart Goes, Between Life and Death

Looking up, the sky is cloudless, and the blue sky gives a sense of unreality.

Bird Mountain is the only place to go to the Death Ridge, speaking of which the Death Ridge is next to the Death Mountain, and the other side of the Bird Mountain is a plain, but this road is inaccessible, making this Death Ridge seem extremely mysterious

Most of the mountain is covered by primeval forests, there are countless trees for thousands of years alone, the mountain roads inside are intricate, there is no guide who lives in this mountain all the year round to guide the way, once you enter the mountain there is no return.

On this day, there was a roar in the mountain, which sounded like neither beasts nor birds, but it was a bit like the shouts of humans, and the shouts startled countless birds, squeaking and circling in the sky, telling of dissatisfaction

"Ah~~!"

Su Mu jumped down from the top of the towering tree, jumped to the ground with a distance of more than ten meters, and the figure rolled on the ground, and suddenly jumped out a few meters away, and came to more than a dozen men in black in three or two clicks

"Oh, Mr. Ji, I didn't expect the effect of this medicinal bath to be so amazing, even if I don't need a pulse, I can jump effortlessly, even if I fall from a high place, it's so powerful."

Su Mu ran to a suspended soft sedan chair surrounded by people in black with excitement on his face, and lifted the curtains of the sedan chair as he spoke, revealing Mr. Ji's smiling face

"You and I can't make that medicinal bath fake, it will take two weeks for your body to be strengthened to digest the effect of the medicinal bath, and now you have only seen the surface of the medicinal effect, do you know what else is magical about your current body?"

After Su Mu set off with Mr. Ji, he found that his body was extremely light, and he walked effortlessly, not to mention that his ears and eyes were extremely powerful, and his gestures seemed to be free from the shackles of the earth

On the road, I couldn't help but be happy to climb high and jump, and I felt that my body was much stronger than before, and I was very grateful to Mr. Ji when I was excited

"I don't know what else is magical? Is it this blue color?" Su Mu touched his arm, the blue reflection reminded him that he was different from others all the time

"Haha, don't panic, this blue color will disappear after a while, how can the Ten Thousand Poison Reincarnation Medicinal Bath that I have spent countless efforts and materials arranging be so simple, your current body is not trivial."

Mr. Ji looked down at Su Mu's blue skin: "Your body is first of all poisonous, although the saying of ten thousand poisons is a bit exaggerated, but hundreds of poisonous weeds and poisonous insects are used in the world, these poisons are mutually reinforcing, and the essence of them is mixed with other medicinal effects to dissolve in your body, the world is so big, there are not many people who can make you poisoned again, but you must also remember that within these two years, don't use the food that your body touches to give others to eat, otherwise others will definitely die of poison."

Mr. Ji first proudly explained to Su Mu, and finally explained earnestly, Su Mu was stunned, he didn't expect that he had become a poisonous person in the past few years, and secretly decided never to touch food with his hands again, so as not to let others die for himself, that is to commit a big crime

"Fortunately, Mr. reminded me in time, otherwise I would have fallen into a big disaster"

"You usually pay attention, less contact with people, after two or three years, the toxicity will dissipate on its own, and now it is just hidden in the epidermis of your skin."

"Yes, I must be careful"

Mr. Ji nodded with a smile and continued: "After this medicinal bath, your ability to heal and recover has been greatly enhanced, and at the same time, the toughness of your body has also been greatly enhanced.

Su Mu stopped and respectfully saluted Mr. Ji: "Without Mr.'s help, how can Su Mu have now, Mr. will be better in the future, Su Mu dare not disobey"

"Hahaha, you, don't talk this nonsense at a young age, the old man who hangs the book bag like this doesn't like it, as long as you can enter the realm of the Son of Heaven sooner, let's start cultivating the magic technique earlier, it will help me a lot"

"Su Mu must cultivate diligently and break through as soon as possible!" Su Mu then said, "It's just why are we going to that Death Ridge?

"It's a good place there," Mr. Ji said with a mysterious smile, "Speaking of Death Ridge, we're going to talk about the crows, do you know why they're all so ugly?"

Su Mu actually wanted to ask about this for a long time, but he was afraid of hurting the crows' self-esteem, these words were hidden in his heart for a long time, and today he heard that Mr. Ji was going to tell him the reason, so he hurriedly tied his ears

"Death Ridge is a dangerous place, where one side is close to this mountain of birds, and there are many fierce beasts in the mountain and it is extremely easy to get lost, and it is extremely dangerous; on the one hand, it is faced with a swamp, where the miasma is pervasive all year round, and birds do not cross; on the other side, it leads to the legendary underworld, which is full of bones and strange things along the way; and on the last side, it is close to the border of the enemy country, and if you cross the border at the slightest time, you will be hit by ten thousand arrows, and it is very dangerous."

"In that case, then why do we still go there" Su Mu was a little puzzled, listening to this description of this Death Ridge is the Death Land

"Neither is it" Mr. Ji shook his head: "Since the Death Ridge exists, it makes sense, the Death Ridge is the junction of the enemy and us, and at the same time, it is the only transit place to go to Que Mountain and Panmi Swamp to find medicine and explore treasures, and it is also the entrance of the Wuji Daomen and others to explore the underworld, although it is called Death Ridge, but it is more accurately called Death Ridge City."

"It is said that a long time ago, the Death Ridge was just a small valley, but over time, many people came and went to rest in the Death Ridge, and gradually built a small city, there are many cultivators in the Death Ridge City, even the Star Sea powerhouses with great mana are not a few, when we enter the city, we must not be careful, don't cause any trouble"

"There is a place in the castle called Zhan Desert Rock, which was originally a place for cultivators to duel, and it was also a place for monks who committed serious sins to duel each other, and the winner was able to reduce part of his sentence. There are also some alien demons and some people who want to break through the battle to fight there, so there will be battles there every day, and people will die every day."

"The Crows and the Night Army are the people I rescued from the war, and their ugly looks are due to the fact that they have had their noses and ears cut off or their limbs cut off during the battle, and some of them have been poisoned and their skin has been ruined. The severed limbs can still be reconnected, and the severed nose and ears are mostly too late to take away, leaving such a mutilated appearance."

Su Mu finally understood why these people were so weird, and why some people had huge scars on their hands and feet, so it was, thinking of this, Su Mu looked around, everyone seemed calm, and no one showed a dissatisfied look with the current image

"Sir, are we going to fight the Araji?"

"Naturally" Mr. Ji sighed, "You can't change the bones in a hurry, you have to come one by one, you need to be familiar with the new bones after each bone change, a little slack may fall short, but if there is a bone that is not coordinated with the body, the whole will have a great impact, so you have to use all your strength to refine every bone that matches the body completely, and the fastest and best way is to keep fighting, use more of these new bones, in order to achieve the unity of human bones"

"At the same time, only high-intensity battles, wandering on the brink of death, can make your cultivation advance by leaps and bounds. The deeper the skill, the higher the chance of fusing another star source, when you refine and fuse all the dark bones, you will have to fuse the star source, time waits for no one."

Su Mu suddenly realized that he wanted to fit the bones he had exchanged in battle, and at the same time improve his Dao behavior to prepare for the assimilation of the star source in the future

"I understand, sir, if you want me to fight, that's right, I'm worried that no one will fight with me."

"Hehe, it's not just a fight, every time you go to the battle platform of the war wasteland, there are only two ways to leave, one is to kill the other party or be killed by the other party, and the other is to cut off something from the other party's body, this kind of brutal battle can be improved, are you prepared?"

"What?!this, this"

The sudden words completely dispelled Su Mu's excitement, although he wanted to fight and liked to fight, but the price of every battle was human life and hurting others, his nature was kind, which made Su Mu unacceptable for a while

"Sir, can you do it in a different way, I don't want to kill people and I don't want to take things from others" Su Mu begged Mr. Ji, this way is too cruel

Mr. Ji's face sank when he heard Su Mu's words, and he snorted coldly:

"Just now you kept saying that you would obey my request, and now you are disobeying? Su Mu! You don't want to think about who I have done so much and spent so much effort for? Have you forgotten the time when you were helpless when you watched An Rui being taken away? Have you forgotten how helpless you looked when you were chased and killed by the people of Pinglong Castle?"

Su Mu bit his lip and didn't speak, he understood Mr. Ji's words in his heart, but he felt uncomfortable in his heart and couldn't think about it for a while

Mr. Ji slowed down his tone, and said: "Death and life, only between your thoughts, I don't force you, if you really can't do it, just take someone else's little finger, this is the minimum requirement."

Saying this, Mr. Ji put down the curtain and no longer paid attention to Su Mu, to be honest, Mr. Ji was disappointed in Su Mu, this kind of benevolence was definitely not a good thing, it was extremely detrimental to his growth, and he needed to think about how to turn Su Mu's kind of woman's character around

Su Mu saw that Mr. Ji put down the curtain, stopped and waited for Mr. Ji's sedan chair to go first, a few steps behind, thinking that if he wanted to fight with someone in the future, he would definitely not hurt people's lives if he won, and it was best to think of a way not to even cut off his little finger

A week later, a group of several people finally came out of this Bird Mountain, there are a lot of fierce beasts in Bird Mountain, and I don't know what method Mr. Ji used, during this period, several of them either stopped and walked, or went around the road, and they never encountered any powerful beasts

From time to time, Su Mu asked the black crow and others about everything in the Dead Ridge City, and the black crows didn't dare to reveal too much without Mr. Ji's permission, but just told Su Mu about something unimportant, even so, everything about the Dead Ridge slowly appeared in Su Mu's mind, and there was even a little expectation in his heart

Standing at the foot of the continuous Que Mountain, Mr. Ji walked out of the sedan chair, raised his eyes to look at a foggy place in the distance, pointed to a small yellow dot under the haze, and said to Su Mu: "There is Dead Ridge City, it is still far away, I can't see it clearly, that haze is the edge of the swamp, and it is the place where the miasma is lightest."

Su Mu opened his mouth and looked at the yellow-white mist that seemed to envelop the heavens and the earth, this was still the weakest place, what kind of terrifying situation would it be if he went deep inside

"It is said that there is an ancient beast living there, these miasma is the means of the beast, but no one has seen it, and I don't know if there is such a beast, okay, let's go, it will take two days to arrive"

Su Mu and the Black Crow agreed and walked briskly in the direction of Death Ridge City
