I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 150: The peaceful Cloud Spirit Forest... or so?

Mu Gu was covered in tatters, but he didn't seem to be seriously injured. However, the look of shock on his face made it seem as if he had just escaped death.

Su Luo looked at his robe, which was hanging loosely, revealing his hairy legs, and it seemed like she could even see his buttocks from behind...

He held back his laughter for a long time before finally managing not to.

"Brother Mugu, what's wrong with you...?"

Su Luo was a little curious.

How did things get so messy?

As someone at the tenth level of the Tribulation Transcending stage, theoretically there should be no one in the Sun Flame Dynasty who could threaten him, except for the fiery red, blood-like aura that suddenly exploded in the distant sky just now…

Even though Su Luo was quite a distance away, with his cultivation level, he could sense it very clearly.

It was just an ordinary arrow that flew into the sky, but it contained a power that he dared not touch!

Even from the aftershocks of that aura, Su Luo could sense just how unfathomable the archer's strength was... Of course, he didn't pay too much attention to it.

The strongest being of the Sunflame Dynasty is the Sunflame Emperor.

The archer in this picture is probably just one of those humans who prefers to live in seclusion.

Therefore, there are no conflicts of interest at the moment.

Upon hearing this, Mu Gu's face turned ashen.

"Don't talk! I almost lost my life just now!"

Mu Gu wore a mournful expression, lacking any of the fierce, kingly aura of the Ghost Tiger Clan; he looked more like a bullied wildcat. "I even used the protective demon mirror His Majesty gave me to avoid being obliterated by that aura!"

"The power in that arrow was incredible?"

“More than amazing!”

Mu Gu gritted his teeth: "This is absolutely terrifying! I'm at least several miles away!"

Su Luo frowned as well.

This protective demon mirror is no ordinary treasure. It was a magical artifact that the Demon King himself refined over a thousand years with his demonic power, supplemented by many spiritual treasures. It is very rare, and its function is very simple: to block damage.

It would take at least a full-force attack from a cultivator at the fifth level of the Mahayana stage to shatter the protective demon mirror.

If this is the case……

That reclusive human cultivator must have a cultivation level of at least the fifth level of the Mahayana stage, right? However, Mu Gu was indeed not injured. He was far away, and although the aftershock destroyed his protective mirror, it did not kill him. But judging from his appearance, he was quite frightened and lost a lot of face.

"What a pity that His Majesty bestowed such a priceless treasure upon me!"

Mu Gu was on the verge of tears, and said hatefully, "If I knew who that guy who shot the arrow was, I would definitely kill him!"

"...How did you kill him?"

Su Luo rolled her eyes at him.

Someone shot an arrow, and the aftershock alone could have killed you. It was only thanks to the treasure of the Demon King that you survived. If that arrow had gone straight for Mu Gu, he would probably be gone from this world by now.

"……Not ready yet."

Mu Gu awkwardly touched his nose.

"Let's not talk about that. How are things on your end?"

The two got down to business. “No problem, all five demon beast kings of the White Emperor Mountains are willing to help. They are just worried about the Bai family. Once a demon beast tide is set off, the Bai family’s patriarch, who is at the seventh level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, will definitely not sit idly by.”

"Your situation is probably easier to handle."

Mu Gu forgot that he was still naked and casually recounted what had happened on his side.

"That's good. This plan cannot afford to fail. If something goes wrong, His Majesty the Demon Emperor's grand plan will be delayed again."

Su Luo stared coldly at the horizon.

"But what about that guy?"

Mu Gu didn't say it explicitly, but Su Luo knew he was definitely referring to the mysterious expert whose single arrow could cause celestial phenomena to change. He lived in seclusion in the Sun Flame Dynasty, and the expansion of the demon race would inevitably encounter him.

"It's alright. If he tries to obstruct our demon race's grand plan, His Majesty will naturally deal with him." Su Luo just smiled coldly, not taking it to heart at all.

They are the Demon Kings, whose fame is known to all and feared by all!

Could a mere reclusive human expert possibly be stronger than their Demon King?

There's no need to worry about that!

His Majesty is there to back us up!

……

As night fell, Gu Heng arrived at a waterfall near a cliff. The water, which was not very strong, cascaded down from the cliff edge, below which was a small, deep pool.

He went to the pool and washed his face.

"We've been walking for so long, and we haven't found a single one to hunt. Sigh."

Gu Heng muttered to himself, sighing.

He didn't encounter a single wild animal, not even a small herbivore, let alone wolves or tigers. He didn't want to continue walking tonight, so he decided to set up camp here and rest, and deal with it tomorrow.

However, this wasn't too frustrating.

Originally, Gu Heng came out for a walk to change his environment and resolve his psychological issues. It didn't matter if he couldn't hunt for food. After walking in the forest for two or three days, he felt better, and that was about it.

Gu Heng climbed up the mountainside, wanting to reach the top of the small waterfall, but as he climbed, his sharp eyes caught sight of something!

On the mountainside washed by the waterfall, there grows a peculiar plant!

"Huh? What is this?"

Gu Heng slowly crawled over. Fortunately, the waterfall's flow was not rapid, so he easily approached and then picked the plant.

He climbed to the top and examined the plant in his hand.

This is a purple dendrobium flower, but the plant is as long as half his arm. The leaves and flowers have a faint fluorescent glow, giving it a special charm.

“What good luck.”

Gu Heng smiled.

These flowers are really beautiful; they would look absolutely gorgeous as potted plants or for landscaping!

"Hmm, it's quite beautiful. Take it home and take good care of it."

He was very fond of the color of the dendrobium flower, so he took out a clay flowerpot that he had prepared in advance from the system backpack. This was also a freebie from the system store, and he could get an unlimited number of them.

According to the system's online store, this "ordinary flowerpot" can ensure that any plant planted in it thrives and never dies. Moreover, over time, there will be "extra surprises".

Gu Heng didn't know if it was true.

Anyway, he didn't really trust the system's "written descriptions" anymore; it wasn't the first time he'd been fooled. He planted the dendrobium flowers, put them in his system inventory, and then Gu Heng started setting up camp. He had originally prepared insect and animal repellent powder, but after wandering around for so long without seeing a single wild animal, or even an insect, he decided not to waste it.

After setting up camp, Gu Heng took out some dry rations and prepared some dinner.

On the other side, a figure carefully leaped through the woods, finally standing on a thick branch, looking at the waterfall and pool.

"Master, is this the place?"

Lin Yang asked.

The necklace around his neck flashed.

"That's right, this is the place. The 5,300-year-old Purple Dendrobium Spirit Flower, combined with the Blood Lotus Grass that your master found by chance a few days ago, which was nourished by flesh and blood, can allow your physique to break through again, and also..."

"Let me fix your 'minor problem'."

The Demon of Myriad Refining Medicine said with certainty. Hearing this, Lin Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

There's hope!
