The road is right under your feet

Lin Momo slowly closed her eyes and whispered, "I dare not." Since the passing of her ancestor, she realized that the past years were just an empty dream and the past seventeen years were nothing but a joke.

"Li Mu, I'm sorry." She said silently in her heart, feeling a dull pain in her heart, subtle but deep.

Du Chong gazed deeply at the beautiful face so close to him, and a sense of satisfaction rose in his heart.

He was very pleased with Lin Momo's obedience. Thinking back to the past, she was so arrogant and willful that even he didn't get any benefit from her.

If her family hadn’t fallen into poverty… Du Chong didn’t think about it any more, hugged her tightly, and quickly rushed forward with her in his arms.

On the other side, Li Mu was fighting fiercely with a group of ferocious spirit beasts.

His skills were very beautiful. Although his weapon was a blunt knife, it was as sharp as a blade in his hand. Every time he swung it, blood would be seen.

Even so, facing so many spirit beasts, he still gradually became unable to cope, and his body was covered with scars and blood.

However, his eyes were particularly bright, flashing with determination.

He casually cut off a branch, stepped on it, flew high into the sky, and broke through the encirclement of the spirit beasts.

Then he swooped down and killed a huge spiritual beast.

"Boom", the sound of people falling to the ground continued to sound, irritating a nerve in his brain.

He had only one thought in his mind: he could not retreat, he had to fight to the end, because Lin Momo was still behind him and he could not let her get hurt.

If you can't retreat, then kill!

But as his spiritual power was exhausted, he lost his balance during a dive and was hit by a claw. He fell heavily to the ground and his knife disappeared.

He lay helplessly on the ground, trying to reach out his hand to grab the branch, but an animal's claw pressed it into the soil.

He groaned with the sound of broken bones and sweated profusely in pain.

Then he felt like every part of his body was being attacked and he could no longer tell where the pain was coming from.

He stared at the beasts above his head with empty eyes. He had already exhausted all his strength and was no longer able to resist. A kind face appeared in his mind, and finally Lin Momo's smiling face.

He thought vaguely, "I'm sorry, I'm going to break my promise."

Just when he thought his life was about to end, it started to rain, and drops of rain hit his body and legs.

The rain...stopped, and Li Mu felt the biting sensation on his body disappeared.

Then he smelled an indescribable odor. He tried to open his eyes, but found his eyelids were extremely heavy and he couldn't open them.

At this moment, he heard a young and pleasant voice sounding in his ears.

"Sorry, brother. It's really hard to find the feces of these spirit beasts. It took a little longer. But fortunately, we made it in time."

"I'm not trying to put the blame on you. It's just that the Hundred Beasts Powder on you is too strong. If you want to cover up the smell of the Hundred Beasts Powder, you can only find some smells that even beasts hate."

"Those spirit beasts disliked your smell and ran away. You are safe now."

Perhaps because he had survived a disaster, Li Mu's brain started to work again. From the boy's few words, he had vaguely guessed something. He moved his mouth and said, "Thank you...thank you..." Unfortunately, his voice was too soft and Bai Xing and the others didn't hear it.

Bai Xing frowned, pinched his nose, and squatted down, "Is he dead?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to feel Li Mu's breath, and confirmed that he was still alive. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and said to himself: "Send the Buddha to the west."

Bai Xing took out a pill labeled "Tendon and Bone Renewal Pill" from the ring space and stuffed it into the boy's mouth. The pill melted in his mouth, and the medicinal power seeped into his body, repairing Li Mu's broken body.

Bai Xing shook his head and said, "Tsk tsk, miserable, really miserable, one of his hands was bitten off. I say, brother, why did you do this?

There is something I don’t know whether I should say it or not. The first bird to stick its head out gets shot. Why bother?

Kill yourself and your enemies will be happy.

How can there be someone as stupid as you in the world? Only when you have life do you have opportunities. If you lose your life, you lose everything. "

He sighed softly, “Forget it, if it weren’t for your stupidity, I might not have helped you.

A fool has his own luck, the ancients were not wrong. "

Li Mu took a pill and slowly regained consciousness. He looked up and saw an ordinary-looking boy half-squatting in front of him, staring at him with a pair of deep pupils.

Behind him stood a tall figure holding a stick.

His eyes focused on Bai Xing's face again, and he said weakly: "Thank you... I... can't repay you..."

Bai Xing saw that the wounds on the man's body gradually healed after he woke up, and even the hand that was bitten off was growing again. Then he stepped back and said, "You're welcome. I didn't save you in vain."

Li Mu felt the vitality gradually returning to his body, and hope ignited in his heart that he could still complete his unfinished business.

He sat up with difficulty, bowed to Bai Xing and said: "I will repay you for saving my life. Please just ask."

Bai Xing nodded in satisfaction, then pulled out a thick vine from somewhere, tied Li Mu tightly, and wrapped the other end around his own wrist.

Then he walked towards Gu Yi, patted his shoulder, and said, "Okay, let's go to the river 1,234 meters away at two o'clock."

Gu Yi nodded, loosened his grip, and the gun in his hand fell downwards, but it did not fall to the ground, but hovered at a height of about 20 centimeters above the ground.

He stepped onto the muzzle of the gun first, while Bai Xing stood on the gun handle, and the two of them flew with Li Mu.

The birds and beasts along the way avoided it, as if they had seen something terrible.

Finally, Bai Xing asked Gu Yi to lower the flying altitude until the vines just touched the water surface.

He gently threw Li Mu into the river, tightly holding the vines wrapped around his wrists to prevent him from being washed away by the current.

Li Mu was only bound around the waist and abdomen, but his hands could still move freely.

His hands had now fully grown back and were now struggling in the water like a drowning duck.

River water continued to seep into his mouth and nose, squeezing his heart and lungs. He felt difficulty breathing, and the huge panic forced him to grab anything that could save his life.

Finally, his hand touched the rope on his body and he grabbed it tightly. Using the force, he raised his head out of the water and breathed in big gulps.

Just as he was trying to lift his entire body out of the water, Shirahoshi's voice came from above his head, causing him to stiffen instantly, and then he silently let go of his hand.

"Come up after taking a shower. You're too dirty." Bai Xing's voice was flat and direct.

Li Mu quickly calmed down, only to find that the river was only up to his chest and abdomen. He felt ashamed and thought he should not have doubted his benefactor. Feeling guilty, he scrubbed himself angrily.
