The princess has super powers and space, so what's wrong with being a little arrogant?

The two of them changed into the coarse cloth clothes they used to wear in Mujia Village so that they would not be too conspicuous when entering the mountains.

As you enter the mountains, you'll encounter a few local hunters, and it's not surprising to see two women carrying small bamboo baskets. It's common for women from poor families to go into the mountains to pick mushrooms, black fungus, and the like.

Before it got dark in the evening, the two found a place on the cliff to spend the night. Fortunately, it was summer now, and although it was not yet scorching hot, the temperature was not low. It was cooler in the mountains than at the foot of the mountain. It was still a bit chilly when the mountain breeze blew at night. Mu Xiyue had modern sleeping bags, quilts, coats, etc. stored in her space, so she would not feel cold.

Nothing happened that night, so the two of them ate some cakes and continued on their journey. It was their first time entering the Beast Prison Mountain, so they were not familiar with the terrain and mistakenly chose a mountain path that no one had walked on. However, it was not completely fruitless. They picked two Ganoderma lucidum on the way, and judging from their appearance, they might be over a hundred years old. Mu Xiyue happily put them into her space.

In the evening of the second day, we finally reached the top of the highest mountain. Sitting on the top of the mountain and watching the sunset and the evening glow, it was a beautiful sight, like an ink painting unfolding before our eyes, so gorgeous!

The place where the two of them rested was relatively flat and there were not many trees to block the view, so they didn't have to worry about any wild animals coming over at night.

It was not known whether there were no wild animals coming up from the top of the mountain, or whether the two of them were lucky, but they took turns keeping watch and managed to get through the tense night safely.

The two men were very cautious when going down the mountain. They didn't dare to speak or make too much noise for fear of attracting wild animals.

They had said there was a white tiger on the other side of the mountain, but they had been walking for two hours without seeing a single hair of the white tiger.

We didn't dare to light a fire and barbecue here, so we each ate a bowl of fried rice left in the space. Fortunately, the food prepared was sufficient and varied, and we could change it up.

After resting for a while, the two prepared to walk down again. There was a big valley below. Most of these valleys would have pools or mountain streams. Animals also need to replenish water, so there would be more animals near water sources.

When I was almost at the bottom of the valley, I heard a man's voice.

"Damn, this rabbit is so fat. I'm in for a treat tonight."

"There are two sheep over there. I said there would be more prey if we went further."

Why are there people here? Aren't local hunters said to never cross the mountain?

Mu Xiyue whispered to Xiaotao, "Keep your voice down and go down to take a look."

The two of them walked down quietly a little further. Fortunately, the grass here was very lush. Mu Xiyue was glad that she had acted carefully just now. The two men at the bottom of the valley were dressed like soldiers.

This makes people even more curious. Where did these soldiers come from in the deep mountains? Could they be deserters hiding in the mountains?

After killing the two sheep, the two men each carried one on their backs and walked in one direction along the valley bottom.

It seemed that there were no large beasts nearby. Curious, Mu Xiyue followed the two from a distance. After walking for about two quarters of an hour, she heard a tinkling sound, which was particularly clear in the valley.

Mu Xiyue soon realized what the noise was; it was the sound of mining. She and Xiaotao didn't dare make any noise, fearing they might disturb the people over there. The man dressed like a soldier was guarding the mine.

Mu Xiyue and Xiaotao carefully walked closer to the bushes and heard people chatting below.

"I heard two more blacksmiths died yesterday. It's better here. Mining is a bit tiring, but it's not as hot as the caves."

"Yes, but it's easy to find people to open mines. Just pull some people over and they'll be able to do the job. Forging weapons won't be done well unless you're experienced. Five blacksmiths have already died this year."

"Alas, I've been stuck in the mountains all day, with no money to spend. I haven't touched a woman in two years. It's really f*cking uncomfortable."

"Isn't the commander your cousin? Ask him to bring you a woman when he catches the blacksmith! After you're done playing with her, show her to your brothers too, hahahaha!"

After hearing this, Mu Xiyue probably understood in her heart that those missing blacksmiths were probably tricked here.

If you don't count the journey time into the mountains, it's only a day's journey from Yun'an County. She'd lived in Mujia Village for so long, and she'd visit Yun'an County every now and then, but she'd never heard of any mines in Prison Beast Mountain. From what they heard, it was probably an iron mine, and they were forging weapons in the nearby caves.

Judging from all the signs, the imperial court definitely doesn't know about it, so who is this important figure?

Mu Xiyue also wanted to find the location of the cave used to forge weapons. Xiao Yibai was investigating the blacksmith's disappearance, so she had to tell him about the situation here. She had the space as a cover, so since she had already encountered it, she would help him explore it.

As the sky gradually darkened, the miners stopped working. Mu Xiyue looked at the direction and saw that she had just come from the east, so she decided to walk west and have a look.

At this time, the miners below were chatting and eating, and all kinds of noises were mixed together. Mu Xiyue and the other person could occasionally make some noise when they walked around without being noticed.

After walking west for about a quarter of an hour, a large crack appeared on the north side of the valley. Even under the dim starlight, it could be seen that the crack was very long, because there was a faint light shining through the bottom of the mountain walls on both sides of the crack. It seemed that there was a cave beside the mountain wall, and there were human figures walking in front of the cave.

Mu Xiyue looked at the mountain opposite the valley. It didn't seem very high. She gestured to Xiaotao and quietly climbed the opposite mountain while it was still dark. She walked up a little and found a secluded place to rest.

Mu Xiyue wanted to go up the mountain from here and take a look at the crack, but it was not easy to go up the mountain because it was dark, so she could only rest first.

The two barely closed their eyes that night, not daring to fall asleep in this environment. When the sky was just getting light, Mu Xiyue and Xiao Tao quietly climbed to the top of the mountain. Looking down from the top of the large crack, they could not see the situation below clearly.

But since she had already come up, Mu Xiyue decided to take a look at the other side of the mountain.

The two walked along the edge of the crack into the mountain. After about half an hour, they reached the cliff. They could faintly hear voices coming from the bottom of the mountain. The two leaned over the edge of the cliff and looked down. The scene below came into view, and Mu Xiyue gasped.

Below was a large valley, surrounded by mountain walls on all sides. The only entrance to the valley should be the large crack at the bottom. In the valley were people lined up in neat rows, a large black mass, and they were training.

There is an army here. Whose private army is it?

Xiao Tao whispered, "Miss, it looks like a barracks. How could there be a barracks in this deep mountain? There seem to be a lot of people, at least several thousand."

Mu Xiyue pointed to another corner and said, "See there? Those little black dots there are probably people."

Suddenly, Mu Xiyue remembered that there seemed to be a telescope in the space. She used her consciousness to search for it and found two telescopes. She handed one to Xiaotao and said, "Put it on your eyes so you can see more clearly."

Xiao Tao looked through the telescope according to the young lady's appearance, and sure enough, the people below had grown bigger.
