After binding the investment system, I began to cultivate the empress

clang--

clang--

The sound of hammering iron came from the wooden house. A young man held a forging hammer and struck the farm tools in front of the anvil, sparks flying everywhere.

His muscles were clearly defined, he was sweating profusely, and his whole body was dyed red by the fire from the furnace.

"Brother Li, my sickle is crooked, can you help me straighten it?"

While I was working, an old farmer came in carrying farm tools.

Taking the sickle and holding the hammer, Li Mo thought about it in a daze.

“I traveled through time…”

"I traveled through time and space and became a blacksmith's apprentice in Dawang Village. Before my master passed away, he handed the shop over to me."

"Dawang Village is on the edge of the human city and is not safe. Occasionally, disasters from outside the city will cross the city wall. That's how my master died."

"Luckily, I have a great talent for forging. I can wield a hammer like a natural. If there were no blacksmiths, the village would be in trouble."

Li Mo also forgot his past.

But it is limited to the nine heavens and ten earths.

He vaguely felt that something was wrong. It was said that his soul was traveling across time and space, because he looked the same as in his previous life. It was said that he was traveling across time and space, but his previous memories were blank.

The only thing that is similar is that both lives are so ordinary.

Oh, except for the blacksmithing talent....

Fortunately, he had this skill to make a living, otherwise he, a time traveler, would have starved to death.

.....

"?"

Looking at Wangqi Little Overlord and Liqun Swordsman working in the blacksmith shop.

The capital was plunged into silence, with a bunch of question marks.

"I've seen three trials of heaven and man, but I've never seen one born in a human city..."

"This birth was too rough."

"Isn't Young Master Li the best among the Hidden Dragons? His talent, if not comparable to Fairy Han, shouldn't be any worse than Jiang Yu's."

"Did something unexpected happen along the way?"

Everyone has never played the game, otherwise they could probably describe what it feels like to be born in a human city.

It's like an NPC randomly appeared in the game.

No power, no status, and even no wealth.

"Does this mean that the Heavenly Man Trial has basically nothing to do with Li Mo?"

The flower festival had just ended, and the flowers that were looking at the sky under the canopy were all stunned, lost, and puzzled.

Tu Yan raised her eyebrows and suddenly felt that he was not as brilliant as before.

Even, it's a bit disappointing.

The Jiangshan Shejitu is a tool of destiny and destiny. It is well known that all living beings in the nine heavens and ten earths are reflected in it.

All living beings in the nine heavens and ten earths cannot escape from it.

So this is Li Mo's original appearance?

Tu Yan was a little bit unbelievable.

But if you ask her whether she believes in Tianyun Daoqi or Li Mo, she will definitely believe in the former.

So she didn't plan to waste any time on Li Mo in the future. Now it seemed that Li Mo's success was only due to Fairy Han, and his family members were promoted to higher positions.

The top spot on the Hidden Dragon List was probably given to him by Ying Bing.

"Isn't the dog emperor doing anything shady?"

Shang Wu put her hands on her hips and said, "He can't be the emperor, so I'll help him out of reluctance."

"That's right!"

Suddenly, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice came to my ears.

Shang Wu turned around and saw an old acquaintance - Shang Qinqing.

"Hey, Xiao Qingluan, you're not bald anymore, your hair has grown back." This is how Shang Wu greeted him.

"It's been thousands of years. It grew naturally."

Shang Qinqing snorted. Knowing Shang Wu's temper, she didn't bother with it.

What's more, they now share the same hatred and enemy.

"Xiao Bing'er is in Tiancheng, and Xiao Mo is in Rencheng. I was hoping they'd forget their past and give me something new to look up to. Now that I can't even see them, how can I look up to them?"

"That's right, Xiao Qingluan, let's work together to achieve great things! I will make you a prince and put you on equal footing with the emperor."

"how about you?"

"I will be the emperor."

"??"

Everyone around looked at them in surprise, and quietly moved away from them, pretending they heard nothing, not daring to listen to such outrageous words.

Only Qin Yuzhi dared to come closer:

"Don't worry, Xiao Bing'er left Tiancheng, maybe she's going to find Xiao Mo."

"I've always thought Li Mo was a strange kid, but it's not surprising that he's landed in Human City. Shang Wu, you should understand your apprentice and have confidence in him."

"I have confidence."

Shang Wu took two sips of wine with a serious look on his face and a guilty conscience.

Hearing that they could still kowtow, the Shang clan leader stopped making a fuss.

But at this moment.

Changes have occurred in the Jiangshan Sheji Tu again.

Several huge creatures, as big as houses, appeared on the horizon, obviously heading towards the village.

It is difficult to say what kind of creatures they are. The one in the lead is covered with green scales, with a snake body in the lower half, but with human arms that can hold weapons. Its head is a combination of human and snake, with facial features and fangs, and a sharp fin behind its head.

It is said to be a monster, but it is obviously lacking in intelligence and doesn't seem very smart.

It's like a body with the power of a monster, driven by the beast.

Their power was not considered strong for the warriors present in the Imperial Capital, who were not even interested in taking a look at them, but for the small village on the edge of the human city, it was undoubtedly devastating.

The strongest person in this village is only at the Qi and Blood Realm.

"My luck is so bad! Born in a human city, I'm just an ordinary person from the beginning."

"Not to mention being in charge of the gods, he wouldn't be sent away by the minions right from the start, right?"

The crowd became noisy again.

Originally, some of them were still waiting for Li Mo to make a breakthrough.

But if the top of the Hidden Dragon List participated in the trial, it would be one thing if he had congenital deficiencies, but being eliminated from the very beginning would be too dramatic.

But it is certain.

This is not the outside world. Li Mo is now just an ordinary blacksmith in a private city.

Huang Donglai searched Li Mo for a long time but couldn't find the saddlebag he had given him. Although he was usually calm, he became anxious.

Looking back at the others, Zhong Zhenyue, Xiao Qin, and Murong Xiao all had worried expressions on their faces.

.....

boom!

Several houses were destroyed, and roars and screams drowned out the banging sounds.

Li Mo slammed his hammer, and the farmer next to him also changed his expression slightly.

The farmer's granddaughter, who had been playing outside, was so frightened that she fell to the ground.

Because one of those terrifying beings has already arrived.

It was the half-human, half-snake creature.

"Brother Li, I'm old and can't run anymore. You run faster."

The farmer brought his granddaughter in with a hopeful look on his face.

He probably hoped that the young and strong Li Mo would take his granddaughter with him to escape, but his life was at stake, and he couldn't bring himself to ask who would be willing to take a child with them.

"You and the little girl, stay here."

Hearing what Li Mo said, the farmer's face turned gloomy.

Just as I was about to sigh, I saw him step out of the door and turn around and say:

"I'll lure it away, and you guys run when you find the right opportunity."

"Thank you!"

"I'm going."

Li Mo himself was surprised by his decision.

How could he make such a quick decision? He didn't understand, but there was a voice echoing in his heart, drowning out all the other emotional noises.

The voice was saying.

He is best at defeating the strong with the weak.

"It's better to lure the monster away than to run with the child. I can run faster on my own."

Li Mo found an excuse for himself and walked out the door with a forging hammer.
