The road is right under your feet

Thanks to his strength in the middle stage of the Body Tempering Realm, this slightly thin boy seemed like nothing in Bai Xing's hands. As the dirt on Li Mu's body was washed away by the river water, he threw Li Mu lightly to the shore.

The two followed.

Li Mu was wet because he had just come out of the water. His clothes were sticking to his body, revealing his thin but well-defined body.

Bai Xing then noticed that although Li Mu was thin, he had a well-proportioned body.

Li Mu steadied himself, rubbed his slightly aching stomach, and smiled bitterly to himself. Although the process was hard to describe in words, at least he had saved his life.

Then, as if he thought of something, Du Chong! Li Mu gritted his teeth secretly, hatred flashed in his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried his best to calm himself down.

Turning around, he bowed respectfully to Bai Xing and Gu Yi, "My name is Li Mu, and I live in Ze'an Town. Thank you for saving my life. If you need me, please let me know. What are your names, benefactors?"

Bai Xing said, "You're welcome. My name is Bai Xing." Then, he patted Gu Yi's shoulder and said, "His name is Gu Yi."

Gu Yi nodded to Li Mu, and Li Mu quickly greeted him: "Mr. Bai, Mr. Gu..."

Bai Xing was too lazy to discuss these formalities with him. His head was aching. He habitually blocked out Li Mu's next words. After he finished speaking, he said, "Li Mu, we need a guide. You are just the right person. After that, we can write it off. Are you willing?"

Li Mu asked doubtfully: "Guide?"

Bai Xing held his forehead and said, "This is our first time here, and we need someone to introduce this place, such as the local customs, good food, drinks, fun things, and interesting people and things. Do you understand what I mean by this?"

Li Mu suddenly understood and nodded, "I understand."

Bai Xing asked: "Where is this place? Why did you come here together?"

Li Mu's eyes were heavy. "This is Jishan. There are many spirit beasts on the mountain, but the outer areas are all low-level spirit beasts. The deeper you go into the mountains, the more high-level spirit beasts there are. Therefore, many people will form teams to come here to hunt spirit beasts."

"You guys are also teaming up to hunt spirit beasts?"

Li Mu shook his head. "Du Chong said he got news that there is a rare and mysterious spiritual object hidden on the top of the mountain - 'Yunlan Truffle'.

It is said that consuming Yunlan truffles can extend one's lifespan. In addition, inhaling its aroma can clear the mind of impurities and improve mental concentration. "

At this point, Li Mu's eyes dimmed. "When I was very young, my father died during a mercenary mission, leaving my mother alone to raise me. Later, my mother also joined the mercenary group, but was seriously injured during a mission, and her cultivation level regressed. Now she has less than ten years to live."

Bai Xing was thoughtful, "What does Yunlan Truffle look like?"

"Yunlan truffles grow on the top of high mountains. They are shaped like small mushrooms, with a cap that is a light purple color and covered with tiny golden spots. They emit a light mist, as if they have condensed the spiritual energy of the mountains."

White Star first used optical invisibility and then sent a message to 77.

After a while, 77 locked onto a rough location, which appeared on the light screen. Bai Xing kept adjusting the lens, and finally found a similar object on the cliff at the top of the mountain, a large area in total.

However, not far away, there is a group of huge birds living, which should be the guardian beasts of the Yunlan Truffle.

Li Mu was somewhat surprised when he saw Bai Xing disappear from the spot, but he knew very well that Bai Xing was still there and he could still feel Bai Xing's breath.

He glanced at Gu Yi, who was calm and composed, and was also waiting silently.

Because he knew very well that if it weren't for Shirahoshi, this person probably wouldn't even look at him.

Bai Xing reappeared in front of the two men, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Du Chong's information is correct. There is indeed what you said on the top of the mountain, but it is not on this mountain, but on the top of the mountain in the deepest part of the mountain range. In addition, there is a group of guardian beasts. There is no chance of winning at all."

Li Mu's eyes became empty, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Bai Xing sighed softly. It seemed that Li Mu had not completely lost his mind and did not rely on his courage to force his way to the top of the mountain deep in the mountains. After all, there is hope only as long as you are alive, right?

Bai Xing patted Li Mu on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Okay, let's go. Isn't there still ten years left?"

Li Mu gradually woke up from despair, his sight slowly focused, and he met Bai Xing's eyes. What kind of eyes were they? Clear and bright, like stars illuminating the haze deep in his heart, he nodded involuntarily.

"Do you know what valuables are there in this place?"

Li Mu pondered for a while and said, "Yes, there are some precious spiritual medicines on the mountain. However, most of the more valuable spiritual medicines on the outskirts have been picked up, so we can only explore deeper into the mountains. The beast cores and bones of some spiritual beasts are also very valuable, and they can usually be used to refine some elixirs and spiritual tools."

Bai Xing pondered. It’s not impossible to go deep into the mountains, but it would be troublesome to bring Li Mu with him, as the two of them have too many secrets.

Forget it, I'll go to Ze'an Town to rest first, and then find time to come out.

"Li Mu, take us to Ze'an Town."

Li Mu nodded and said, "Ze'an Town is not far from here. We can see it after we get out of this mountain." Li Mu said as he led the way for the two.

On the way, they encountered several waves of low-level spirit beasts. Some of them turned and fled when they saw them, some watched them vigilantly, and some attacked them directly.

Faced with the spiritual beasts that attacked them, they fought back without mercy.

During this process, Bai Xing also picked some herbs that could be used to make recovery potions, which was considered a gain.

Near noon, the three of them sat by the river.

Bai Xing took out a big snake that was thicker than himself, and with a sharp movement of the knife, he quickly removed the head and tail, and cut the snake into pieces of equal size.

Finally, he ordered: "You two, clean this meat."

Li Mu and Gu Yi looked at each other and started moving with grunting movements.

Li Mu moved quickly and cleaned most of the snake meat in a short while. He also found some large leaves, cleaned them carefully and laid them under the meat.

In comparison, Gu Yi's movements seemed clumsy, and he even accidentally let some good meat be washed away by the river.

Bai Xing looked at it and shook his head. He found some branches, built a fire, and then took over Gu Yi's work.

He handed Gu Yi some branches and asked him to string the cleaned pieces of meat together.

Gu Yi couldn't help but touch his nose and changed his position.

Soon, the preliminary preparations were completed and the fire was lit. The aroma of barbecue spread and attracted many carnivorous beasts, including some big snakes.

Bai Xing's mouth twitched. Very good, cannibalism.

Among the three, Bai Xing has the lowest strength, while Gu Yi and Li Mu are both at the early stage of the Spiritual Journey Realm.

The two of them stood up consciously and attacked the low-level spirit beasts that were surrounding them.

Because Li Mu was present, Gu Yi did not use a gun, but instead used a quantum blade and fought like an assassin.

After fighting for a whole morning, the two gradually formed a tacit understanding.

Li Mu held a blunt knife and a shield to attract fire.

Gu Yi relied on his stealth skills to appear and disappear at will and attack the enemy's vital points.

He activated his spiritual energy and killed the enemy with one blow.
