The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 188 Pure Land (Please subscribe, collect, and recommend)

"Junior Brother Su, from now on, we are no longer in the outer area of ​​Daxing Mountain."

Xu Chongyuan said with a serious expression, "Going further inside is a place we can't patrol on weekdays, and I can't guarantee that the topographic map left by this monster is correct.

So, from now on, every step we take could be our last.”

Everyone knew what he meant by the last step.

There could be dangers at any time in the Daxing Mountains.

Even if they have reached the stage of rebirth, they may die at any time after entering Daxing Mountain.

"Can you tell which direction that third-level monster is heading?"

Su Mu asked in a deep voice.

There are no roads in the mountains. One of the challenges of crossing the Daxing Mountains is how to identify the direction.

The atmosphere here is chaotic, and ordinary methods of determining direction will be ineffective. Once you lose your direction, you may not know where you are going.

If you were to walk into a place with a strong demonic aura, or into the lair of a high-level monster, the consequences would be terrifying to think about.

"It should be coming from this direction."

Xu Chongyuan held the animal skin map and examined it for a long time, then pointed in a direction.

"Walk."

Su Mu took off the Five Fires Heaven-shaking Bow from his back, put his fingers on the bowstring, and said without hesitation.

With his current strength, if he spared no effort, he could shoot the bow forty or fifty times.

Even if you really encounter a high-level monster, you can still fight it out. At the very least, you can buy some time to escape.

This is how Xuanbing works. The stronger the warrior is, the stronger the role Xuanbing can play.

As Su Mu's strength increased, although the power of a single attack of the Five Fire Shocking Sky Bow did not increase much, the number of attacks that could be made increased significantly.

Now, if he were to encounter a fifth-level monster tide again, it would be easy for him to shoot and kill a few third-level monsters.

However, deep in the Daxing Mountains, there are monsters stronger than the third-level monsters everywhere, so he cannot take it lightly.

Xu Chongyuan walked in front to lead the way, and two Taiping captains swung their long swords to chop away the thorns and branches that blocked the way.

Su Mu and the other Taiping captains were all concentrating on being on guard against their surroundings.

In this way, in half a day, the group only walked more than ten miles.

In the mountains and forests, humans have a natural disadvantage compared to monsters.

Unless one's cultivation level reaches a certain level, one can ignore the harsh natural environment.

It is obvious that Su Mu and his group's cultivation has not reached that level yet.

Along the way, they not only have to be wary of monsters that may appear at any time, but also have to avoid the evil spirits that are everywhere.

Even if a warrior is exposed to too much demonic energy, he may be invaded by it and turned into a demon.

So there are some places where monsters can go, but they have to take a detour.

After taking the detour, you still have to find a way to get back to the main road recorded on the animal skin map.

Xu Chongyuan pulled out handfuls of hair.

"Damn it, this road might be real!"

Fortunately, the day ended without any major incidents.

Seeing that it was getting dark and the group was preparing to set up camp, Xu Chongyuan muttered and cursed.

"I don't know how that third-level monster found such a path!"

Su Mu set up the Nine Dragons True Fire Array, so that if there was a sneak attack from a monster, he could use the array to block it.

"Monsters have all kinds of strange innate abilities that we humans cannot match.

Who knows if that third-level monster has any innate magical powers."

Su Mu said.

Compared to monsters, humans are naturally weak, but their strength lies in wisdom, so they created a variety of original martial arts.

By practicing martial arts, humans can possess divine bodies comparable to those of monsters, and can even master powers more powerful than those of monsters.

The mountain breeze blew through the forest and blew on Su Mu's skin, giving him a special feeling.

As he went deeper into the Daxing Mountains, Su Mu felt that his white tiger body was becoming more and more active.

The consequence of this was that he could easily sense any movement in the mountains and forests, and he could even vaguely sense where there was danger.

The tiger roars in the mountains and forests, it is the king of beasts.

Su Mu's mind was not familiar enough with the mountains and forests, but his body told him that he was very familiar with these deep mountains and old forests.

He had this feeling, so it was no surprise that the monsters could explore a safe path.

If I can complete the third level of the Four Symbols Rebirth Art and completely cultivate the White Tiger Divine Body, as long as I am given some time, I can explore a path in the Daxing Mountains.

Su Mu said to himself.

Suddenly, a sharp light flashed in his pupils.

The next moment, his body flashed and he pounced in one direction.

His action made Xu Chongyuan, Zhong Guizheng and others change their expressions and they all drew their swords.

Before they could do anything, a slight sound like tearing cloth was heard in the darkness.

Su Mu had returned carrying a leopard-like monster.

"We are in for a treat tonight, a Level 3 Lingyun Leopard."

Su Mu said with a smile.

Xu Chongyuan, Zhong Guizheng and others looked at each other.

Su Mu seems to have become stronger again.

A third-level monster was killed in just a few breaths, and there was not even much noise.

Is this still the realm of rebirth?

They are both in the stage of rebirth, why is there such a big gap between them?
"Eat! It's not that easy to eat a third-level monster! If we eat all the way through, by the time we pass through Daxing Mountain, maybe we can break through to the Zhenyuan realm!"

Xu Chongyuan said.

The flesh and blood of a third-level monster is also a great tonic for warriors.

All the Taiping captains nodded. It was simply uncomfortable to compare themselves with Su Mu.

It would be better to seize the opportunity and work hard to become stronger, so that the gap with Su Mu can be narrowed.

After throwing the third-level monster Lingyun Leopard to a few people, Su Mu did not intervene again.

He is now the only fifth-rank captain in the team, and he doesn't need to do any miscellaneous work.

Sitting by the campfire, Su Mu quietly called out the system panel.

[Name: Su Mu]

[Identity: Silver-faced assassin (concurrently), Taiping lieutenant (fifth rank)]

[Points: 3500 points]

[Realm: Rebirth Realm (Eleven-fold blood exchange, extreme body tempering realm)]

[Magic Powers: Immortal Golden Body, Blood Body]

[Kung Fu: Four-Elephant Rebirth Technique (White Tiger Body (Great Success), Black Tortoise Body (Perfection), Vermillion Bird Body (Perfection))...]

[Martial Arts: Li Fire Artistic Conception (Great Success), Kan Water Artistic Conception (Great Success), Xun Wind Artistic Conception (Great Success), Gen Mountain Artistic Conception (Great Success), Archery (Perfect)]

Before setting off, Su Mu took a special look and saw that the points on the system panel were 2,500 points.

Now it has become 3,500 points.

With the fifth-rank status, one can get one thousand points every day.

It is two hundred points more than the eight hundred points when it was at the sixth level.

Six thousand more points in a month is not bad.

Xu Chongyuan, Zhong Guizheng and others had already processed Ling Yunbao's body and started grilling it.

The fat dripped onto the campfire, making a sizzling sound, and the aroma of barbecue gradually spread.

Su Mu continued to check the contents on the panel.

The third level of the Four Symbols Rebirth Art required 30,000 points. The Lihuo Art from Great Success to Perfection now only required 70,000 points.

The Kanshui state of mind requires a little more points, needing 80,000 points, but he has achieved the Xuanwu body, so as long as he practices diligently, the required points should be able to be further reduced.

The artistic conception of Xunfeng and Genshan has hardly improved, and still requires 100,000 points to be complete.

By this calculation, to cultivate all four artistic conceptions to perfection, at least 350,000 points are needed.

At the current rate of one thousand points per day, it will probably take another year.

However, he still needs to improve the Four Symbols Rebirth Technique, so the improvement of his artistic conception will lag behind.

It is difficult to practice.

Su Mu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Even with the help of the system panel, it is still so difficult to achieve a perfect artistic conception.

If you were to realize it on your own, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

The perfection of artistic conception is already like this, I wonder how difficult the vision above the perfection of artistic conception will be.

"The fifth rank is still not enough, I have to keep climbing up."

Su Mu said to himself.

This time, if he is lucky, he can try to break through to the Zhenyuan realm.

I just don't know if the merits of this trip are enough to exchange for a Zhenyuan method.

"Junior Brother Su, go on."

Xu Chongyuan shouted, throwing a piece of barbecue over.

Su Mu raised his hand to take it, suppressed the thought, and started to feast on it with the others.

…………

On the wild side of Daxing Mountain.

Several monsters were walking through the mountains and forests, and suddenly they collided with several people in white clothes.

Strangely, they didn't come to blows.

Instead, those people in white took the initiative to come in front of the monsters and bowed to them with a flattering look on their faces.

"I didn't expect to meet Master Hu here. What are you doing? Is there anything we can do for you?"

The leader of the group spoke with a smile.

"I thought it was who it was."

The monster actually spoke human language, and a hint of pity flashed in its copper-bell-like eyes.

It would be inconvenient to eat the human being he knew.

"Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask. Haven't you, the people of the Pure Land Sect, already left the wilderness? Why are you still lingering in my Demon Court's territory? Are you up to something bad?"

The monster said coldly.

Those people in white lowered their heads, a hint of contempt flashed in their eyes, and they complained in their hearts, this is Daxing Mountain, not the territory of your demon court.

However, they dared not say such words out loud, and could only smile and say, "Let Lord Hu know that we have an enemy who came to assassinate our leader. After being beaten by our leader, he fled to Daxing Mountain. We are here to hunt him down."

"I am not interested in your affairs."

The monster, Lord Hu, waved his claws impatiently, "This is not the place for you, get out of here."

"But--"

Those people were about to speak, but the demon Lord Hu had already glared at them, emitting a fierce murderous intent.

They swallowed back the words that were about to come out of their mouths.

"let's go."

His expression changed for a while, and the leader gritted his teeth and left with his men.

The monster, Lord Hu, watched them disappear from his sight and licked his lips with some regret.

If the State Master had not just reached a cooperation with the Pure Land Sect, it would have had to satisfy its craving today.

The flesh and blood of human warriors is delicious.

It reluctantly withdrew its gaze and said in a deep voice, "Keep going. If the road left by the white cat is real, we can have a good meal when we reach Jingzhou!"

Several monsters set off again, and not far away, the people who had just left appeared again.

"Bah! You beasts, if I didn't count on you to deal with Da Xuan, would I be so coaxing you like this?"

The leader spat and cursed.

"Boss, what should we do now? Should we continue chasing?"

Someone whispered.

"Chasing you! What do you think this place is?"

The leader cursed, “He won’t survive if he runs into the Daxing Mountains.

If you chase us again, we will be killed too!"

"But the things that Master Liang of the Demon Court gave to the leader were snatched away by Shi Ziran."

The subordinate muttered.

"It's just a true essence method. Some people don't look like officials even when they wear official uniforms. Liang Jinglue is a poor scholar. Even if he becomes the Imperial Master of the Demon Court, he can't get rid of his petty airs."

The leader said disdainfully, "Would our leader be interested in this?
Let's go back and report. This time we not only reached an agreement with the demon court, but also dealt with the remnant Shi Ziran. When we return to the sect, the leader will definitely reward us handsomely."

Several people showed joy on their faces and their figures quickly disappeared in the direction of leaving the mountain.

…………

Deeper in the Daxing Mountains, a figure staggered forward. His eyes were full of determination. Even though he was covered in blood, his steps were firm.

He cannot die, he still has unfulfilled wishes, he must live.

puff.

He fell to one knee.

Suddenly, a fishy wind blew by.

A monster's claw slammed into his back, knocking him to the ground.

Shi Ziran felt as if all the bones in his body were falling apart, and despair welled up in his heart. Was there no way back?
It’s a pity that I haven’t seen the young lady get married yet…

"Don't kill him."

Just as Shi Ziran closed his eyes and waited for death, a voice with an awkward accent suddenly came to his ears.

"I'll be bored on the road, so I'll leave it for him to eat slowly."

The voice with a strange tone said, "When it comes to eating, it has to be humans. I heard from the national teacher that humans have a method. If you raise a cow and cut off a piece of it every day, the cow will not die and it will grow meat again. A cow can be eaten for three years.

There is no one else to eat on this trip, so let’s keep it and see if it’s enough for us to eat along the way.”

Shi Ziran's eyes, which had been closed, suddenly opened and widened.

This must be a monster. How could it come up with such a perverted idea?

Well, it does seem to be a demon.

Shi Ziran's eyes were full of struggle. Was he seeking a quick death, or enduring it and perhaps having a chance to escape?

boom!
Before he could figure it out, he felt a pain at the back of his head, his eyes went dark and he passed out.

Several monsters surrounded the unconscious Shi Ziran.

With a swish, the monster Lord Hu cut off a thin piece of meat from Shi Ziran's body and put it into his mouth with blood.

Smash it.

"tasty."

It cackled, "Stop the bleeding. Don't let him die."

As it spoke, it cut off two more pieces of meat and threw them to the other monsters.

The monsters swallowed the meat slices with smiles on their faces and bandaged Shi Ziran's wounds in a hasty manner.

Shi Ziran's body twitched twice and his eyelids trembled, as if he was trying hard to open them, but in the end he failed.
