Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 131: Five Hundred Miles

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone responded with a few words.

"Ah."

Zhang Laodao nodded and said softly, "This is the last period of quiet time. You should all take a good rest. All the necessary preparations have been made over the past ten days. There is no need to worry about it anymore."

"Yes."

Everyone immediately sat down in different places, some closed their eyes to rest, and some whispered to the people around them.

Chen Mu turned around and nodded to Han Jing, then closed his eyes and began to think.

This wasn't his first time in the Kurosawa Mountains, so he wasn't overly nervous. The only thing he was worried about was the demonic threat, which kept him on his toes.

She Yingtan, who was not far away from him, saw him closing his eyes in meditation. He turned his eyes slightly, raised the corners of his mouth and walked towards him.

But before he had taken a few steps, when he passed by Gongye Ji, he was stopped by him with a smile on his face, so he had to give up.

Time passed like water, and the cabin gradually became quiet.

"boom!"

Three hours later, with the same light sound as when they set off, Chen Mu and his companions finally arrived at the Heize Mountains.

"All disciples, cheer up and go into the mountains!"

Zhang Laodao waved his sleeves, and everyone immediately went out of the cabin door and slowly descended along the ladder.

Chen Mu's expression remained unchanged. He first looked around the environment.

The wind is howling and the shadows of beasts are looming!
The weather was already bad, with dark clouds covering the area, making the mountains even darker.

Although it was daytime, it felt like night had fallen. There were faint sounds all around, coming from some distant unknown places, which made people shiver all over and were extremely terrifying.

"This awful weather, it's so cloudy for no one to see, not even a drop of rain..."

Niu Dali saw Chen Mu's expression, watched for a while, and then muttered.

Chen Mu was silent for a few breaths before he slowly exhaled.

"Let's go."

Not far away, several colorful flags of the Beast Taming Sect were fluttering in the cold wind, and below them were dozens of black-robed disciples waiting for them.

After a while, Chen Mu and his group all got off the Dharma Boat and walked towards the colorful flags.

As they approached, several disciples suddenly covered their mouths and noses with their hands, and the others also frowned to varying degrees.

But suddenly, they smelled an extremely strong smell of blood.

At the same time, as they approached, they suddenly discovered that the black-robed disciples under the colorful banner all looked exhausted, with more than ten of them showing injuries and looking haggard and gloomy...

"Senior Brother Heng! How could this happen?" She Yingtan took two quick steps, and a look of anxiety appeared on her round face, which was always full of smiles.

Under the colorful flags, someone who seemed to be in charge of the disciples smiled bitterly and replied, "Junior Sister She, there's no need to ask any more questions. The monsters are very powerful. You will be stationed here, so you must be careful and not be careless..."

She Yingtan nodded, and when she saw that the male cultivator named Heng waved his hand and didn't look like he wanted to talk anymore, she had no choice but to give up.

Chen Mu's heart moved. After exchanging a glance with Niu Dali, he took two steps forward, bowed, and said, "Fellow Daoist Heng, I am Chen Mu from Shuiyunjian." The male cultivator named Heng nodded and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Chen, ever since our master sent us a message about your itinerary, we have been waiting for a long time..."

Before he finished speaking, he turned around and glanced at the distant mountains before continuing, "Fellow Daoist Chen, let's not waste any more time. I'll briefly tell you about the East B region."

Chen Mu nodded, waved to call Niu Dali and Yao Xi, and motioned him to continue.

"From Tianhua Mountain in the east to Hanfengpo in the west, this five hundred-mile stretch is the Dongyi area you will need to garrison..."

The male cultivator named Heng stretched out his hand and pointed continuously, speaking slowly as he introduced this mountain range to Chen Mu and the others.

"Five hundred miles..." Chen Mu's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered the last time he came to the Heize Mountains. At that time, in order to find a suitable monster, he also spent several hours running hundreds of miles.

The male cultivator surnamed Heng continued, "I see that Fellow Daoist Chen and his fellow disciples, plus those of my own sect, number sixty in total. We might as well divide them into groups of ten and jointly defend an area of ​​several dozen miles to prevent any cunning monsters from sneaking up behind you..."

Chen Mu nodded. Since they had just arrived here, it would not be a bad idea to listen to the experiences of some male cultivators with the surname Heng.

"Also, Fellow Daoist Chen, you need to be careful. The monsters here seem to be controlled by Jindan demon cultivators. Each one is extremely ferocious and far beyond the reach of ordinary monsters!" The male cultivator named Heng spoke in a serious tone, with a hint of fear in the depths of his eyes.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Heng, we will definitely not be careless and underestimate the enemy..."

After a long time, the male cultivator named Heng led his fellow disciples and stepped onto the Dharma Boat along the cloud ladder, preparing to return to the Beastmaster Sect's mountain gate to rest.

Chen Mu looked up and found that Taoist Zhang was still standing in the clouds, so he smiled at him and told him not to worry. Then he shook his head and smiled, and went deeper into the mountains.

After everyone had left, Chen Mu calmed down and looked around.

The disciples were seen either watching and investigating, or whispering to each other, or with serious expressions and rapid breathing, as if they were coming to the Heize Mountains for the first time and were not used to the gloomy atmosphere.

So he called Niu Dali, Yao Xi, She Yingtan, Gongye Ji and others to discuss the grouping.

In the end, it was decided to follow the experience of the male cultivator named Heng and divide the sixty people into six groups. The remaining five groups would each take care of a hundred-mile area, while the team composed of Chen Mu and others would travel back and forth along the five-hundred-mile area to provide emergency support.

Before they parted, Chen Mu took out dozens of spiritual talismans and distributed them. These spiritual talismans were prepared by him when he came. They were not of high quality and were only used to guide the direction.

Once it was cast, a ray of spiritual light would rise into the sky. At the same time, the spiritual light talismans on the other disciples would all light up as a reminder...

After each group of disciples left, Chen Mu and others also set off slowly, hoping to take advantage of the monsters' future attacks to get a general idea of ​​the mountain range.

They did not stop along the way, carefully observing the rocks and ancient trees. As time passed, Chen Mu's heart became more and more solemn.

Perhaps because of that Jindan demon cultivator, the trees, vines, weeds and rocks here are slightly different from the Heize Mountains in his memory.

Although those trees are rare, each one looks like a towering giant, as if they have been growing for thousands of years.

The wild grasses and flowers on the ground were incredibly lush, but not a vibrant green color, but a strange gray-green.

From time to time, you can see some extremely clear footprints on the surrounding ground, which have broken the rocks into pieces.

Arriving here out of the blue is like entering another world. It really makes people feel lost and helpless...

Everyone stopped joking at this point and silently explored the front together, carefully sensing the traces of the monster.

Chen Mu raised his eyes slightly, looked at the still dim sky, and thought secretly.

"If possible, I really hope that this place will not be invaded by monsters..."
