This immortal was clearly ordinary, yet he was unusually confident.

Mu Dazhuang thought he was going to die, but unexpectedly, the tiger demon that appeared out of nowhere saved him. This was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

However, judging from the tiger demon's tone, it had a close relationship with that outsider. The way he and Gouzi treated him, they would probably be held accountable later.

Therefore, the best course of action now is to leave and escape this village.

Although the forest outside is dangerous, if I'm careful, there might be a glimmer of hope. But if I stay here, neither Mu Dongmei, who has turned into a vengeful ghost, nor the tiger demon are people I can handle.

Mu Dazhuang still feels a bit scared when he thinks about it now. From what the white tiger said, he knows that the outsider was very powerful. He just didn't want to argue with him that night, otherwise he would have been dead long ago.

Mu Dazhuang inexplicably felt that living another day was a bonus; this village was too dangerous, and if he didn't leave now, when would he?

Thinking of this, he quickly packed his valuables, picked up his hunting knife, and went out.

It was quiet outside; everyone else in the house was asleep.

Mu Dazhuang felt a wave of fear. With such a commotion, no one else had noticed. He figured that if the tiger demon hadn't intervened, he probably would have died mysteriously like Gouzi and Shuanzi.

He didn't intend to wake anyone else, but the thought of leaving so quietly meant his father would search the whole village for him, and everyone would know he'd run away.

He thought for a while, then quietly went back into the house, deciding to leave a message before leaving.

"Damn it!"

Mu Dazhuang cursed under his breath; the pen and ink that he usually found annoying were nowhere to be found when he needed them most.

He was both anxious and angry. Although Mu Dongmei and the tiger demon had gone out, they might come back in a little while, and then he wouldn't be able to leave even if he wanted to.

In desperation, he had a sudden thought. He drew his hunting knife, drew a few lines on the ground, and then suddenly stopped.

Mu Dazhuang couldn't help but curse again, because he realized he didn't know how to write several characters. He had no choice but to scribble them down, and whether his father could understand them depended on his father's abilities.

Finally finished leaving the message, Mu Dazhuang couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead. No wonder he had never liked studying since he was a child, this was really tiring!

Mu Dazhuang quietly put away his hunting knife, went out the door, and jogged towards the direction of leaving the village.

The village wasn't very big to begin with, and Mu Dazhuang's house was located in the center of the village, so it wasn't long before they ran to the Green Wood Forest.

Mu Dazhuang slowed his pace and patted his chest. Fortunately, the journey had been smooth, and not even a single dog had barked.

He suddenly remembered that the dog belonging to the wooden stake family seemed to have died at the wooden stake's house, and a wave of fear washed over him. He quickly quickened his pace and walked out of the woods.

Qingmu Village thrives thanks to this forest. Over the years, the wild animals around the village have been largely eliminated, so as long as you're not too unlucky, the chances of encountering a ferocious beast are relatively small.

Mu Dazhuang had it all planned out. After leaving the village, he would head to the place where everyone usually rested while hunting. There was a cave there where he would hide for the night, and then head northwest as dawn approached.

Although Qingmu Village is remote, when they went out hunting, they had encountered lost outsiders who were said to have come from that direction.

As for whether they can actually find a way out, that depends on luck. In the current situation, Mu Dazhuang doesn't have time to think too much about it.

Mu Dazhuang had thought about going out to take a look before, but he had never taken action. Firstly, Qingmu Village was too remote and the surrounding area was too dangerous. Several villagers had tried to go out before, but their bodies were eventually retrieved by a hunting team.

Secondly, Qingmu Village has been living in seclusion for a long time, isolated from the outside world. If they go out, they may not be accepted by outsiders, especially since they have heard that there is currently a war going on outside, and things are not peaceful.

This time, by sheer luck, I've managed to venture out and risk my life; who knows, I might even get to see the wonders of the outside world.

Mu Dazhuang was happily lost in thought when suddenly his heart skipped a beat, and he almost dropped the tinderbox in his hand.

"I was hoping to let you live a couple more days, but I didn't expect you to try to run away. Let's see who comes to save you this time?"

Mu Dongmei chuckled, her pale face appearing eerie and terrifying in the moonlight.

Mu Dazhuang secretly groaned, never expecting to encounter Mu Dongmei as soon as he left the forest. He felt like he was rushing to his death!

"Dong... Brother Dongmei, listen to me..."

Before Mu Dazhuang could finish speaking, he immediately took off running.

Mu Dongmei was not in a hurry. Now that Mu Dazhuang had left the village, he couldn't escape.

When he saw the direction Mu Dazhuang ran in, he couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

He deliberately slowed his pace, and looking at Mu Dazhuang's panicked appearance, he felt an indescribable sense of pleasure.

In his panic, Mu Dazhuang ran headlong into the swamp where Mu Dongmei had been murdered.

"You've gone to great lengths to steal my family's treasure, but do you even know what it is?"

"You didn't know?"

Mu Dongmei knew that his ancestors had passed down a treasure, but he didn't know exactly what it was.

It was traditionally passed down from the previous generation before their death. His father was already unconscious when he was poisoned, and he himself was also killed, so he didn't have time to find out.

But he had also heard his grandfather mention that the thing was ominous, that their ancestor had died because of it, and that it was best for future generations not to get involved with it, lest they end up harming themselves and others.

When Mu Dazhuang heard Mu Dongmei's question, he was somewhat surprised, but also felt as if he had grasped a lifeline. He ran and said:

"If I tell you, will you spare my life? I'll leave this village tomorrow and never come back."

Mu Dongmei smiled coldly:

"The old man must have passed that thing on to Chunhua before he died. I'll just ask her about it. If you're willing to tell me, I can let you die a little easier!"

When Mu Dongmei returned to the village, she planned to meet Mu Chunhua, but her intuition told her that there was great danger in her home and that if she approached it carelessly, she might be killed.

So when he saw that Mu Chunhua was safe and sound from afar, he was relieved and planned to find a way to see her after he had taken his revenge.

Looking back now, could it be that the treasure made him feel threatened, and it was secretly protecting Chunhua?

Seeing that Mu Dongmei had slightly increased her speed, Mu Dazhuang quickly said:

"I don't know exactly what it is, but I've heard my dad say that it can help people become immortals!"

"Nonsense! If we could really become immortals, would my family have ended up in this state?"

"Becoming an immortal isn't that easy. Not just anyone can become an immortal. Maybe no one in your family has the talent."

"Heh, what a joke. My family members aren't good enough, but do you think you are?"

"How will you know if it works if you don't try?"

Mu Dongmei was momentarily speechless, but Mu Dazhuang's words were not entirely without merit.

They don't even know if they have the ability to do it, yet they try to seize it by force. It's truly hateful!

Mu Dazhuang was sweating profusely as he ran. He realized he had misspoke as soon as he finished speaking, but then he thought that Mu Dongmei would obviously not let him off the hook, so he decided to go all out.

"Mu Dongmei, your family clearly has a treasure that can make people immortal, but you keep it hidden away. If you had taken it out earlier, maybe I would have become an immortal and could have protected everyone. Then we could all move outside and live a life of luxury, wouldn't that be great?"

"How shameless!"

"Hmph, it's clearly your family that's selfish and greedy. Since you can't become immortals yourselves, you naturally can't stand to see others become immortals!"

"you……"

"If your family had revealed the method to become an immortal from the beginning, even if I couldn't, with so many people in our village, maybe one or two immortals could emerge, and everyone could live a good life!"

"I……"

Mu Dongmei was so angry that his very soul trembled. He never dreamed that there could be such a shameless person in the world. What angered him even more was that he couldn't think of a way to refute the other party for a moment.

Filled with rage, Mu Dongmei's eyes gradually reddened again. Originally, she had planned to deal with Mu Dazhuang in the swamp, but now she only wanted to tear him apart immediately.

Just as Mu Dongmei was about to pounce on Mu Dazhuang, a voice suddenly rang out:

"Wait a minute!"
