"No one is in the room?"
"There is really no one. The quilt on the bed has not been moved. Where has this kid gone?"
"You won't go to the Jade Emperor Valley after earning enough spiritual stones, right?"
A suspicious voice sounded, and in the darkness, the two people looked at each other.
As for the hole under the house, neither of them had obviously thought about going to that level.
After all, the people who live in these barren mountains and ridges all come to this mine to earn spiritual stones to prepare for the journey to immortality. Eight pieces of broken spirits a month can hold up to the sky for only a few months.
In just a few months, who would have nothing to do but dig a hole in the ground and live in it.
Worldly thinking has its limitations after all. The two of them stared at each other in silence.
"Go back first, don't alert others."
One of the men gritted his teeth and made a sound.
"OK."
In the darkness, the two men returned along the original path, rearranged the destroyed traps, and then drifted away and disappeared into the darkness.
And Chu Mu, who was in the cave, had no idea that he had been in front of the gate of hell again.
It wasn't until early in the morning that Chu Mu woke up from his sleep. After cleaning up, he climbed up the wooden ladder.
When he almost reached the ground, his spiritual consciousness had already penetrated his body. Through the thin wooden boards, he could sense the situation in the wooden shed and even outside the wooden shed.
After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, Chu Mu pushed aside the wooden planks on the ground and appeared in the wooden shed.
When he appeared in the wooden shed, he sensed it again.
The detailed observation of 360 degrees without blind spots is far more reliable than the naked eye.
Compared with the secular observation with naked eyes, he has now tried his best to get used to the spiritual observation method of immortal cultivators.
"footprint……"
In just a few breaths, the covered footprints outside the wooden shed clearly appeared in his spiritual perception.
The spiritual consciousness extends, about twenty meters away, the abnormality of the pit is basically invisible to the naked eye.
Even if you observe with your spiritual sense, if it is not a key memory, you will probably ignore it subconsciously.
But Chu Mu was different. Since he was sleeping in the open air here, every time he went out or came back, he would use his spiritual consciousness to carefully observe the surroundings, and remember them in his mind for comparison, just in case.
"Someone came here last night and discovered a trap..."
Chu Mu's expression was a little uncertain. After pondering for a moment, his expression returned to normal and he walked towards the mine as usual.
The danger during the day is not great.
Especially at this point, all the miners sleeping in the open went to the mines and made some noise, that is, everyone knows that there are not many idiots with half a foot in the world of immortality.
Arriving at the mine, as usual, after receiving the backpack and tools, we walked into the mine.
A day of mining, a busy day, nothing unusual. At dusk, he returned to the wooden shed as usual.
"There are two people's footprints. I'm not sure if there will be more people..."
Chu Mu thought silently, and he was not surprised that someone was targeting him. After all, these days, miners have been changing one after another, and they don't care about their mine managers.
If it weren't for the mine law enforcement teams patrolling day and night, there would have been chaos here.
Secret killings and soul-seizing have probably been staged countless times in the nearby mountains. It was not surprising that he was targeted alone.
Still in the cave, Chu Mu silently prepared the medicinal ingredients.
He doesn't have many methods, only one sword technique and one medical skill.
Sword skills and Qi and blood cultivation correspond to one's own physical strength.
Medical skills, treating diseases and rescuing people, refining elixirs and refining medicines, of course, things must be reversed at their extremes, and the use of poison is not an issue.
The conditions were limited, and Chu Mu couldn't come up with any strange poison.
But with his worldly knowledge of people and medicine, and his countless research and experiments on qi and blood cultivation, using poison to deal with an ordinary, immortal practitioner like himself can already be said to be a dimension-reducing blow.
He has already had the intention to kill!
But... although the world is as cruel as prison, Chu Mu has been gentle to him since he came to this world.
It allowed him to see cruelty, but never really exposed him to cruelty.
The human morality in the heart still exists.
Coupled with his own caution, even though he had murderous intentions, he never took action.
Now, since he is being targeted and someone wants his life and takes away his spiritual stone, he doesn't have any psychological burden at all.
"I hope he's not a poor man."
Chu Mu looked at the medicinal powder in front of him and murmured softly, with a cold look in his eyes.
He has always been worried about not having enough spiritual stones. If he could become rich, he would never take it back from this damn place!
The night... gets deeper.
Chu Mu was no longer in the cave, but was pretending to be cooking and eating in the wooden shed until the lights were extinguished, then he quietly sneaked into the cave and followed the tunnel he had dug long ago into the forest.
As for whether it will be noticed...
Chu Mu was very confident that the detection distance of his spiritual sense was less than ten meters, and it was easy to detect a monk using his spiritual sense.
Even if he was being followed, he would definitely be staring at him from a distance. What he did was enough to confuse the naked eye.
Chu Mu seemed like a ghost, hiding in the darkness, his eyes seemed to be fixed on the surroundings of his wooden shed.
He is a very patient prey, but he doesn't know if the hunter will show up again.
Chu Mu waited silently.
"coming."
With the naked eye, he could clearly see the two sneaky figures in the darkness. Chu Mu did not stare closely at them. The existence of spiritual consciousness could easily arouse alertness even if he looked directly at them with the naked eye.
He carefully felt the direction of the wind, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, stuffed a pill into his mouth, and then took out several medicine packets from his arms. After opening them, the delicate powder appeared in the night sky.
The evening breeze blew by, and the delicate medicinal powder seemed to be blown up by the evening breeze, exuding medicinal effects in this dense forest.
Chu Mu still didn't move.
The poison was temporarily prepared by him, and the effect was not very strong. It could only temporarily weaken the person's energy and blood.
But it is strong in that it has no taste, and it is difficult for people to detect it after being poisoned. By the time they notice it, it will be too late.
For monks like them, who are not immortal but ordinary, their abilities basically depend on their Qi and blood. If their Qi and blood are weak, they are basically at the mercy of others.
However, in this empty mountain forest, it is obviously difficult for the medicine to achieve that level of efficacy.
Chu Mu prepared a lot and made some calculations.
Quantity... to a large extent, it can also make up for the shortcomings of the openness of the mountains and forests.
Even though he had taken the antidote, Chu Mu couldn't help but slow down his breathing.
The two figures in the darkness became increasingly clear.
After seeing the face clearly, Chu Mu's heart, which was still on hold, immediately relaxed.
There are only a hundred or so extraordinary miners in the mine. Although they have not interacted with each other for such a long time, Chu Mu also deliberately made sure to remember clearly what they looked like.
Being a miner, the threat is much lower.
If Chu Mu was a true immortal cultivator, he would definitely turn around and run away without saying a word.
He is still self-aware of his own abilities.
"These two people... seem to have entered the mine two months ago..."
Chu Mu's eyes moved slightly. Two months in the mine meant two months of monthly salary. Two people meant four months of monthly salary...
Chu Mu had to admit that he was really tempted.
The whispers in the darkness were hard to hear, and Chu Mu just watched the two people slowly approaching his wooden shed without any movement.
The effect of the medicine is taking effect, and the longer it takes, the more the quantity can make up for the quality, and the more beneficial it is to him.
If you can fight without bloodshed, that's the best thing.
"This kid is not at home!"
Even Chu Mu could vaguely hear the sound of surprise.
"It's impossible. I've been staring at this kid just now. He hasn't left the house since he came back!"
"There is really no one. If you don't believe me, use your spiritual consciousness to see for yourself!"
"It's impossible. I kept watching and didn't see him come out..."
"There's something fishy about this house!"
"There's a hole under the board!"
This time, under certain suspicion, it didn't take long for the hole under the wooden board to be discovered.
"This kid must be a rat, and he even dug a hole in the ground!"
"Did this boy not go out yesterday and just sleep in this cave?"
"Probably!"
"Fortunately, we didn't alert the enemy last night and covered up all our traces."
"Now what?"
"This kid is in a cave, we can't break in, right?"
"Who knows what this kid has prepared inside?"
After confirming the existence of the cave, the two of them were obviously in a dilemma.
With the help of spiritual consciousness, the possibility of being discovered is very high.
If you go into a hole in the ground, the possibility of being discovered is even greater!
Moreover...it is even more unknown what is going on inside the cave!
"This kid is so damn cautious!"
"Why don't we just go in? Two people fight one. We are sure of victory."
"Okay, anyway, these are just secular methods, I'm afraid of you!"
In Chu Mu's field of vision, the two men tiptoed close to the wooden shed, obviously having made a decision.
"It should be soon, right?"
Chu Mu counted the time in his mind, from the evaporation of the medicine's effect to the change in the wind direction, as well as the total time.
Without the two of them realizing it, quantity more than made up for quality.
The overall situation... has been decided!
"No, I've been hit!"
One of the men seemed to have noticed something, and his expression suddenly changed.
"It's poison, we've been poisoned!"
Soon, another man suddenly woke up and turned pale.
"Run, run!"
The two of them didn't care about concealing their whereabouts, let alone the target in front of them, they turned around and started running away.
With Shenxian's cultivation level, even though his energy and blood are weak, his physical fitness is extremely terrifying. In just a few breaths, he can fly over a hundred meters!
But the blade that followed was faster and more dazzling!
Before you enter the path of immortality, all your abilities are based on Qi and blood. As for your own physical fitness, if you can reach this level, who will be weaker than whom?
The sword is an ordinary sword, and if held by an ordinary person, it will be difficult to hurt a monk at this level.
But Chu Mu is obviously not the same person as before.
Under the surging force, the secular iron knife easily touched the invulnerable flesh. A bloody gash was opened.
"Spare your life! Spare your life!"
"Brother, spare my life!"
The two men begged for mercy and shouted for mercy, trying desperately to dodge, but the effect of the drug that had already taken effect was like a tarsal bite, tightly restraining them.
It doesn't matter whether you dodge and beg for mercy, or whether you fight to the death.
The ending is already determined!
