Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Power of the First Sun, Arrival, and Assignment
Guo Hongming was unwilling to give up, and continued: "Then Uncle Shi doesn't want to trust me?"
"It's not like that, it's just that I'm used to being alone, and I'm not good at cooperating with others, Miss Guo don't think about it. ”
"This trip is very dangerous, doesn't Uncle Shi want to have one more person to help and have more security?"
"I am enough to protect myself, and I don't care about the girl. ”
"Then Uncle Shi doesn't want to kill more demon beasts and get more contribution point rewards?" Guo Hongming was unwilling.
Li Mu still shook his head: "Miss Guo, let's find someone else to cooperate, those mortal disciples, all of them are much stronger than me." ”
Guo Hongming said helplessly: "Huafan disciples are all above the top, how can they be willing to cooperate with me." I think about it, only Uncle Li is the most suitable to cooperate with me and kill the enemy together. ”
Li Mu closed his eyes and said softly: "Miss Guo, please go back, I'm used to being alone, and I don't plan to cooperate with anyone." With your strength, as long as you are not too unlucky to meet the Yuan Demon, there should be no problem, so you can do it yourself. ”
Guo Hongming snorted lightly: "I won't leave, I'll just sit here, what can you do with me!"
Li Mu had no choice but to ignore her, still closing his eyes and meditating with peace of mind.
Guo Hongming didn't speak, and sat quietly opposite Li Mu, not knowing what he was thinking.
One night passed in a flash.
Li Mu meditated last night, feeling the aura of heaven and earth with all his heart, but unfortunately, in this ten thousand zhang high altitude, the aura content was very thin, and with the inferior qualifications of his three-attribute spiritual root, he could not capture a trace of heaven and earth aura at all.
In desperation, Li Mu had no choice but to try to control the true qi in his body, wanting to gather it and break the blockade of the dantian, but each time he could only gather about half, he would not be able to control it and let it disperse. He tried many methods, but he couldn't shake the true qi blockade outside the dantian, which made him disappointed in his heart, and strengthened his determination to rebuild the dantian.
Li Mu opened his eyes and saw Guo Hongming's face at first glance. This woman was closing her eyes, her face was serious, she should be running the innate heart method, and she was also cultivating non-stop.
Not all hard work will be rewarded, but as long as you work hard, you will definitely reap the rewards. The woman in front of her was able to cultivate to such a point as a daughter and walk in front of tens of thousands of innate disciples, I am afraid that in addition to her talent, she also made great efforts.
Li Mu shook his head and stopped looking at her. He stood up, stretched his hands and feet, and then walked slowly to the edge of the boat, skirting the crowd.
It was the early hours of the day, when darkness and day met.
The ship sailed high in the sky, bringing up a long cloud that could not be dispersed for a long time.
Li Mu set his gaze to the east, where a faint red light flashed, dyeing the entire sky in dreamy colors.
Once again in the sky, looking at the rapidly retreating clouds around him, a strong desire suddenly arose in his heart: one day, he would rely on his own strength to stand in this high sky and overlook this land.
There was a very secret longing in his heart, looking at the brighter and brighter light in the east, thinking of that dream-like experience, he suddenly longed to return to the place where the sky was high and the sun was level, to see what the scenery was now, what the world was like there.
But to get to that point, there is still a long, long way for him now. But no matter how long the road ahead, he always has to go through, although the dream is far away, there will always be a day when it will come true.
His heart is full of great self-confidence and hope, as well as boundless determination and perseverance.
The building ship broke through the clouds, bringing a huge storm, and flew in a northeast direction without stopping.
In the east, the dazzling golden light slowly dispersed, and the seemingly eternal sun leaped out of the sky and began to shine on the land.
The shield that shimmered with blue light could not block the rays of the sun, and Li Mu faced the sun and quietly felt its light and warmth.
The Yuan Spirit Bead mark on his chest suddenly emitted an inexplicable fluctuation, and he felt some kind of power in this daylight, as if it was being absorbed by it.
Li Mu's expression was natural, and no one noticed the fluctuations in his heart.
The movement of the Yuan Lingzhu was very hidden, and it did not attract anyone's attention.
After that strange power was absorbed by the Yuan Spirit Bead, a part of it slowly entered his body, bringing some strange changes to his body.
Li Mu couldn't clearly feel this change, because it was too small, but he faintly felt that this change was beneficial and harmless to him.
So he still faced the sun, allowing Yuan Lingzhu to absorb this power and transform his body.
As the day dawned, the people who were meditating on the boat began to wake up one after another and open their eyes. Some walked to the side of the boat and looked down at the scenery below, some sat around and discussed something, and some still meditated silently, ignoring anyone.
Li Mu stood by the side of the boat, feeling the changes in the Yuan Lingzhu, and no one noticed his abnormality.
After this lasted for more than half an hour, that strange power gradually disappeared, and the Yuan Spirit Bead also stopped absorbing.
Li Mu found a vacant seat at random and sat down, ignoring the people around him. From time to time, there were innate disciples who knew him and wanted to come to him to talk to him, but when they saw him meditating with his eyes closed, they didn't dare to disturb him, and walked away in a daze.
That Guo Hongming also seemed to be dead to him, and he didn't come to look for him again along the way.
After sailing for more than a dozen hours, the spirit boat finally stopped outside a small city.
After all the disciples disembarked, they were placed under the command of the three Zhuji masters who had been assigned earlier.
There were already envoys sent by Xuanming in the small city, and after seeing the ship landing, they came out to greet them at a very fast speed.
The first three white-clothed disciples of the Fan Stage, these three people are the patrol disciples of the Xuanming Sect's Demon Slaying Department, and they are usually stationed in various cities, and when they encounter something related to the demon clan, if they can't solve it by themselves, they will report to the sect and ask for the support of the sect. This time the first demon invaded, they knew that they were powerless to resist, so they decisively fled from their respective counties, and sent a message to the sect as soon as possible.
This was supposed to be a strategy for perfection, so the Xuanming faction did not condemn their actions, but instead saw these Zhuji masters when they came here, and after explaining the situation, the older Zhuji man also encouraged them.
Later, after a brief discussion among these foundation building disciples, they did not delay, and directly let these three people lead the way, and the soldiers rushed to the county seat that was attacked by the first demon in three ways.
The older Zhuji man turned the huge building boat into the size of a palm, and told the other three Zhuji disciples: "The three junior disciples must be more careful when they go, the first demon can be killed, if the strength of the team is not as good as the other party, don't fight hard, go back first, and then talk about it, you must save your own life and these disciples." My brother is in this city, waiting for your good news. ”
The three of them nodded solemnly, turned around and took the disciples of each department, and under the leadership of the three patrol disciples, they each thought of a direction and hurried away.
In Li Mu's group, Meng Wu, the leading foundation building disciple, stepped on a flying sword and flew in the air above everyone's heads, but he and those Huafan disciples both intended to reduce their speed so that the innate disciples behind could keep up. Even so, the whole team quickly approached the target place faster than the usual horses.
Half an hour later, a dilapidated county town that didn't look big was in sight, and Meng Wu, who was speeding in the air, slowly descended in front of everyone and signaled the team to stop.
"You guys are hiding here, I'll fly over the city first, find out the situation, and then come back to set up tactics. ”
The people obeyed, each looking for trees, earth and rocks, hiding his body in the climate, where hundreds of people gathered, and there was not a single movement, and some even the sound of their heartbeat became faint and inaudible.
That Meng Wu nodded with satisfaction, then stood on the flying sword, rose to a hundred zhang high in the air, and slowly approached the ruined county town.
Half an hour later, Meng Wu's figure slowly descended, his face was very ugly, obviously holding back his anger, he called everyone in front of him, and ordered: "This iron jade city is already a ghost, only in the north of the city, there is an area that emits blue light, and there are still human races surviving in it, that should be the formation of the Ma clan Xiuzhen family in this city." However, that formation shield is close to transparent, and it shouldn't last long before it will be broken by these Origin Demons. So we have to hurry up and rush to the rescue. ”
"The area of this city is not small, there are roughly hundreds of Origin Demons scattered inside, among which on the periphery of the Nama family, there are more than half of the Origin Demons, who are constantly attacking that formation, and the remaining Origin Demons are scattered all over this city, devouring the corpses of those dead people with extreme cruelty. I will lead most of the disciples to smash the Yellow Dragon directly, and fight to the death against those large army of First Demons outside of the Nama Clan's formation, and the remaining part of the disciples will go to clear those First Demons who eat human corpses. ”
"Those first-level demon beasts that eat human flesh are relatively low-level demon beasts, so they only need the innate disciples to go to solve it, you don't have to worry about running into the primordial demon, as long as we attack the primordial demon headquarters first, all the primordial demons will be attracted by us to go over and kill. Therefore, you disciples who are going to hunt those low-level demon beasts, after seeing the fireworks signal we have sent, can start to do it again. Now I need you to sign up and volunteer to kill those inferior monsters, who will?"
After Li Mu heard this, he realized that this was an excellent opportunity to break away from the team, so he didn't hesitate, and directly stood up and said, "I choose to clear the outer Origin Demon!"
Meng Wu looked at him dressed in white with some doubts, and then said with a sudden expression: "You are Li Mu who Uncle Lingmu brought back to the mountain gate?"
Li Mu replied respectfully: "It is the disciple." ”
Meng Wu nodded, signaling that he could choose to clear the outer demon beasts.
At the same time, Xue Chucai seemed to be in line with his thoughts, he walked to the front of the crowd and said, "I am also willing to clear the peripheral Yuan Demon!"
Then many disciples stood up and expressed their willingness to participate in the elimination of the outer demons.
