What a lucky world!

Chapter 66: The Fox Demon's Plot

Night falls over Pingfeng Mountain.

The bonfire crackled, illuminating the area within a few dozen feet.

Zhang Mu was sitting against a tree while Xuan Ji was eating half a roasted chicken beside him.

The surroundings were quiet, yet dangerous.

Zhang Mu has entered the depths of Pingfeng Mountain. Along the way, he has been attacked by many wild beasts and even monsters. However, the cultivation levels of the enemies are very low, and the highest is only equivalent to the third-grade Tongmai.

At first, Zhang Mu wanted to pack up some of the spoils and sell them for money, but later he couldn't fit them all in. Xuan Ji was unwilling to swallow all the corpses, so he only chose the most valuable parts to take with him.

For example, snake gallbladder, bear paw, tiger whip...

If you don’t know, you might think you are coming to the mountains to purchase goods.

I've come this far, and I don't know if the fox demon has sensed my presence.

Zhang Mu looked into the darkness in the distance, and always felt that in that depth, there was a pair of eyes staring at him intently.

"Gudong gudong..." Zhang Mu took off the water bottle from his waist, drank two sips, then grabbed Xuan Ji and fed her some.

After the Ren and Du meridians were opened, the internal martial energy began to circulate automatically, constantly impacting the acupoints, so Zhang Mu didn't need to practice specifically. Zhang Mu yawned and planned to take a nap.

Just as Zhang Mu closed his eyes, he suddenly felt something approaching quickly and immediately grasped the hilt of the sword.

The next moment, three shadows jumped out from the darkness!

Zhang Mu drew out his long sword and activated the Star-Breaking Step at the same time. He quickly teleported back several steps, stood up again, and then he could see the enemy in front of him clearly.

Three wild dogs.

No, looking at their blood-red eyes, they must be dog demons that have transformed into monsters.

"Xuan Ji, hide." Zhang Mu shouted hurriedly.

"Meow!" Xuan Ji screamed, and then her whole body turned into black smoke and floated away to an unknown place.

At the same time, the dog demon launched an attack again. Two of them attacked Zhang Mu from above and below, while the other one rushed directly to the campfire and extinguished it with a whip of its tail.

The surroundings suddenly became dark.

Zhang Mu took the Star-Breaking Step again and avoided the dog demon's attack.

At this time, Zhang Mu stood still again and could only see three pairs of blue eyes in the darkness.

Zhang Mu took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and tried his best to sense the feelings brought to him by the Zhenwu fate.

He was like being in water at the moment, completely unable to see his surroundings, but with the fluctuations of the air, the movements nearby quickly formed an image in his mind.

On the left side, a dog demon bit his thigh, another dog demon jumped onto a tree and jumped down from a high place, trying to bite his arm, and the third dog demon went around behind him, ready to pounce on him.

Zhang Mu's sword pointed downward, his entire body swiftly moving in a semicircle. He used his sword as a whip, slashing fiercely at the wild dog that was about to bite his thigh. The sword lashed out at the dog demon's face, sending it flying several feet. Using the power transmitted from the dog demon, Zhang Mu spun sideways even faster, thrusting his sword upwards, piercing the second dog demon's mouth.

After the beast transformed into a monster, its skin and flesh became more defensive, but its mouth was still soft, and the sword pierced directly into its throat through its mouth.

Diyuan sword technique, turning defense into offense.

At this time, the dog demon behind him had already pounced towards him. Zhang Mu did not pull the sword out of the second dog demon's mouth, but smashed the dog demon's body heavily at the third dog demon like a sledgehammer.

With a "bang", the third dog demon was smashed heavily to the ground. Zhang Mu drew out his sword at this time. Instead of killing the demon directly, he shook his wrist and the sword light flashed brilliantly, directly blinding the third dog demon's eyes and cutting off half of its nose.

Before the dog demon could even wail, Zhang Mu used the Broken Star Step again, moving back two steps. Almost at the same time, the dog demon that had been blown away earlier pounced towards him, landing right where Zhang Mu had just stood. Without hesitation, Zhang Mu thrust his sword straight through the dog demon's waist.

This battle was swift and decisive, all happening in a flash.

When Zhang Mu opened his eyes again, the two dog demons had died, and only the dog demon that he had blinded and had half of its nose cut off was wailing and trying to escape.

Zhang Mu showed no mercy and chased after it. Then he swung his sword and chopped off the dog's head.

Zhang Mu bent down, picked up the still-bleeding dog head, and shouted into the darkness, "Fox demon, I know you're watching me!" "Don't you want to kill me?"

"Come out!"

"Don't send these minions to die!"

After saying that, Zhang Mu threw the dog demon's head heavily into the depths of darkness and stood there with his sword.

A moment later, a black smoke condensed into Xuan Ji's figure on Zhang Mu's shoulder. Xuan Ji leaned close to Zhang Mu's ear and whispered, "Have you discovered the fox demon?"

"No." Zhang Mu also replied softly, "Just a trick!"

Xuan Ji: (^x^)
……

At this time, deep in Pingfeng Mountain, the fox demon looked at the scene that had just happened, and a hint of shock appeared in his eyes.

"He has at least reached the fourth level of meridian opening..." the fox demon thought to himself, "How long has it been?"

"The human race is indeed blessed with good fortune, and their cultivation is progressing at a rapid pace."

"but……"

"Now that you're here, don't leave."

"This is the beginning!"

A sneer appeared on the fox demon's lips, and he turned and walked into the darkness.

……

"Meow~ It seems I didn't trick you~" Xuan Ji said in Zhang Mu's ear.

Zhang Mu nodded, stretched his muscles, walked back to the fire, took out a tinderbox, and lit the bonfire again.

The surroundings became bright again.

Xuan Ji sniffed at the corpses of the other two dog demons and ran over: "One is at the third stage of Qi Condensation, and the other two are at the second stage of Qi Condensation."

Zhang Mu nodded, yawned, and was about to sleep for a while when his brows suddenly frowned again.

There's movement again!

A wild boar appeared out of nowhere and rushed directly towards Zhang Mu.

It's not a monster, just a simple beast.

Zhang Mu dodged the wild boar's attack by moving sideways, and kicked the wild boar directly on the side, knocking it over.

But after the wild boar got up, it continued to attack Zhang Mu relentlessly.

Zhang Mu was not polite either. He drew out his sword and knocked the wild boar down neatly and efficiently.

Just as they killed the wild boar, several poisonous snakes rushed over and attacked Zhang Mu.

After the poisonous snake was dealt with, more than a dozen wild wolves suddenly appeared from nowhere and besieged Zhang Mu.

To be honest, with Zhang Mu's current strength, these ordinary monsters are no match for him at all.

However, a toad lying on your feet may not bite you, but it is disgusting!
Zhang Mu also had to be careful all the time to see if there were any transformed beast monsters hiding among these ordinary wild beasts, and he was a little overwhelmed to deal with them.

This situation continued until the sun rose in the east, and then it subsided.

Zhang Mu frowned as he looked at the corpses of wild animals that surrounded him, which were enough to form a death zoo.

"It's definitely related to the fox demon!" Zhang Mu made a mental judgment. "It's trying to tire me out!"
