After dawn, Yun Que was in high spirits.
Before going out, I stretched my waist first, and my muscles and bones relaxed and crackled.
nice weather,
Yun Que took Mu Qingyao around the top of the mountain.
The scenery of Duckweed Mountain is beautiful, and you can see far away.
"The scenery of nature always makes people feel relaxed and happy."
Mu Qingyao sighed: "If the world is safe and peaceful, I will find an uninhabited land with such beautiful scenery, accompanied by blue sky and white clouds, green grass and gentle breeze."
Yun Que looked into the distance, nodded and said:
"It is indeed a good place, with mountains and rivers, good Feng Shui, and is suitable for a tomb."
The two stood side by side on the top of the mountain.
One is dreaming about the future leisure time, and the other is thinking about his burial after death. There is a strange tacit understanding.
Although the two imagined different scenes, they both knew one thing very well.
The road ahead will be increasingly difficult.
When I turned to the backyard, I saw someone floating in the small pond.
"Men Liu?"
Yun Que said in surprise.
Judging from his posture, this person has been in the water for most of the night and is probably out of breath.
Yun Que couldn't figure out how Men Liu could be in the pond, so he went down to fish him out.
After landing, they found that Menliu was still alive and not dead.
After calling twice and getting no response, Yun Que raised his hand and opened his bow from left to right.
After a mouthful of words, Men Liu finally woke up.
"What's wrong! Is it hailing? It's crackling!"
After Menliu woke up, he only felt a burning pain on his face, which was swollen when he touched it.
"How did you fall into the pond?" Yun Que asked.
"Yeah!"
Menliu touched his soaked clothes and said suddenly: "I was thirsty in the middle of the night, so I came to find some water. I fell asleep again while drinking. I'm fine. I drank too much water and I have to go back and lie down for a while."
Menliu said as he walked back with a big belly. It looked like he drank a lot last night.
Looking at the other party's back, Yun Que's face was filled with suspicion.
"Men Liu should be able to swim, otherwise ordinary people would definitely drown." Mu Qingyao said.
"I don't know if he knows how to drink water, but this guy can really drink it." Yun Que squatted by the pond and pointed to his feet.
Mu Qingyao looked carefully.
The soil on the side of the pond was found to be two different colors.
This situation can only be a sign of something.
The water in the pond dropped in a short period of time!
You can tell from the color of the soil that the small pond was originally full of water, but now it is half full.
Mu Qingyao's eyes gradually widened.
"He drank half the pond's water?" Mu Qingyao was extremely surprised.
Although the pond is not very big, it is three feet in diameter and at least more than one foot deep.
Not to mention the water that is half a pond, even the water that is half a tank cannot be drunk by one person!
"It's quite drinkable." Yun Que said to himself.
After leaving Baiyu City, Menliu drank endlessly at the creek, as if he had a crazy preference for water.
He has no cultivation, but he can pass through the door.
Although he is thin and thin, he can drink like an ox.
This Men Liu is definitely not a normal person.
Yun Que didn't have much curiosity about other people's secrets, as long as they could be used. As for Men Liu's strange physique, he didn't care.
Anyway, it's useful.
At noon, Menliu made a table of delicious food using the ingredients available in Duckweed Mountain.
Most of them are delicacies and wild beasts, carefully cooked and taste amazing.
Three people and one tiger shouted happily after eating.
After eating and drinking, Mr. Pingshan slapped the table and said:
"I have decided to accompany you on a journey to Heaven! The princess's promise to carry out the demonic ritual must be fulfilled!"
"I will never break my promise." Mu Qingyao said with a smile.
"One more thing, let's talk ugly first." Pingshan Jun bared his fangs and said: "If a strong enemy confronts me and there is really no way to survive, I will run away first!"
"Okay." Mu Qingyao said happily.
"That's fine! When will we set off?" Mr. Pingshan felt relieved.
It actually had no idea about this trip to Tianqi, but it still had some confidence in its escape speed.
"It's been two days since we left Baiyu City. Let's leave today." Yun Que said.
"After the chaos in Baiyu City last time, the Red Lotus Sect will definitely not give up and will definitely send more manpower." Mu Qingyao frowned.
Yun Que looked at Lord Pingshan and asked, "How many people does the Red Lotus Sect have in Wuji Town?"
"I don't know about that. They just asked me to set up an ambush in Xiaoshi Village. If you don't take the road to Baiyu City, they have other arrangements in Wuji Town." Pingshan Jun said truthfully.
"Instead of going to Baiyu City this time, we will go to Wuji Town." Yun Que decided on the route.
Mu Qingyao naturally has no objection.
As a local, Yun Que is most familiar with the terrain in Zhiyuan County.
In fact, going to Wuji Town was Yun Que's long-planned plan.
Unlike the big border cities like Baiyu City, Wuji Town does not have high walls. You don't need to go through the town, you can go around it from the surrounding barren mountains.
With Pingshanjun accompanying you, mountainous areas are no longer a problem.
After leaving Duckweed Mountain, the group did not hit the road immediately, but turned to the other side.
Before setting off, Yun Que had to go to a place to get something.
Lord Pingshan transformed into a huge body and carried the three of them running through the forest at an extremely fast speed.
Mu Qingyao looked very strange, her little face flushed by the strong wind in front of her.
Using a seventh-level monster as a mount is an experience that not many ordinary people, not many experienced practitioners, have experienced.
Especially a wild seventh-level tiger demon!
Being able to ride a seventh-level monster without being tamed, Mu Qingyao felt that apart from Yun Que, no other person in the entire Jin Kingdom had this ability.
Pingshanjun's speed was far beyond that of a horse-drawn carriage. He ran for hundreds of miles in more than an hour, and finally stopped at the foot of a dark and gloomy barren mountain.
This mountain has no name. There is a huge natural cave at the foot of the mountain.
When you walk into the cave, you can feel the cold wind blowing against your face.
The dark cave and the cold wind indicate that this place is by no means a good place.
"This is called Batu Caves. A seven-level giant toad once lived there. Tigers near Duckweed Hill were often caught here as snacks."
Mr. Pingshan acted as a guide and introduced Mu Qingyao.
Mu Qingyao then remembered that during the battle between Yun Que and Pingshan Jun in Xiaoshi Village, the tiger demon once mentioned this Batu Cave, and was convinced that the seventh-level toad here was chopped to death by Yun Que.
Yun Wenfang lit up the torch and strode ahead.
Under the light of the fire, depressions and knife marks of varying depths were revealed on the walls of the cave.
Even Mu Qingyao could tell that there had been a fierce battle here.
"I asked why I haven't seen that old toad jumping around recently. When did you come to Batu Caves?" Pingshan Jun said.
"About a year ago, there was someone in Baiyu City who was selling elixirs to increase qi and blood. I was short of money and had no choice but to find some extra money everywhere." Yun Que said casually.
Mr. Pingshan's scalp felt a little numb.
Money is tight, so I'll kill a seventh-level toad in exchange for money. If I'm short of money again, who knows if this fierce god will go to Duckweed Mountain to skin tigers!
At the end of Batu Cave, there is a natural grotto with a circle of animal bones piled around it. It seems that they are all leftovers eaten by monsters.
In the corner of the grotto, there is a small spring, forming a puddle.
Yun Que walked to the puddle, rolled up his sleeves and started fishing.
Mu Qingyao leaned over and took a look, then was startled.
There are some black round stones in the puddle, the size of dates, the stones are slightly transparent, with a big eyeball inside, and they can move!
"These stones seem to be alive?" Mu Qingyao said.
"This is a frog egg, not a stone." Yun Que held a frog egg in his hand and said with a smile, "Last year it didn't hatch yet, but this year it looks like it's almost done, so I'll just take it away."
Mu Qingyao suddenly realized.
It turns out that what Yun Que fished for was the eggs of the seventh-level toad demon!
"Can frog eggs be sold for money?" Mu Qingyao asked.
"Most people don't recognize this kind of thing. There should be people in the imperial city who know the goods. It doesn't matter even if no one buys it. Uncle Qi will definitely take it."
Yun Que took out the small bag he had prepared long ago and packed all the frog eggs in the water, ten in total.
Mu Qingyao could clearly feel the demonic aura emitted by the frog eggs. After leaving the puddle, the eyes in the frog eggs widened as if they were angry and looked very scary.
"Since it's about to hatch, will it be dangerous if I keep it with me?" Mu Qingyao subconsciously voiced her worries.
Yun Que explained nonchalantly:
"Out of water, frog eggs usually stop hatching and enter a state similar to hibernation. Even if they hatch out, it's fine. You can just bake them and eat them. It tastes good."
Mu Qingyao smiled bitterly.
She forgot that the person in front of her was not an ordinary person, but a demon hunter from Qinghu Mountain!
Eating monsters is really unimaginable in the eyes of others, but when it comes to Yun Que, it seems normal.
There is no hunter who doesn't eat his prey.
While Yun Que collected the frog eggs, Men Liu kept squatting beside him, staring at the puddle with eyes wide open.
It was as if I wanted to taste the water where the frog eggs hatched.
After all the frog eggs were installed, Menliu stretched his neck and leaned into the puddle.
"You can drink this water too. You won't be afraid of being poisoned to death." Yun Que said.
"I'm thirsty when I see water. I won't drink it anymore." Men Liu said reluctantly looking at the puddle.
Then several people walked out of the Batu Caves.
Mr. Pingshan walked at the end, looking back from time to time and muttering:
"Kill the old one and sell the young one, how cruel..."
Mr. Pingshan felt like a rabbit was dead and a fox was sad.
If someone else kills the demon, just kill them and that's it.
Yun Que killed the demon so cleanly that he wished he could scrape off every layer of the earth in the demon cave, leaving no grass behind!
Mr. Pingshan felt happy in his heart.
Fortunately, he and Yun Que have not been too hostile in recent years, otherwise there wouldn't be a single tiger left within a hundred miles of Duckweed Mountain.
Including itself.
entrance of the cave.
Yun Que said loudly:
“Let’s set off, God prays!”
From now on, Yun Que's only goal is to bring Mu Qingyao alive to Tianqi Imperial City.
Mr. Pingshan said arrogantly:
"This trip will definitely be smooth sailing! The safety of the princess will be left to me. Don't worry, princess, I will guard the door even when you are taking a bath. I will definitely not let thieves peek in!"
Yun Que didn't like hearing this.
"Don't you want to see it yourself? The thief calls for the thief to catch the thief."
Mr. Pingshan said angrily: "I want to see tigresses too! What's good about women? They all look the same, but tigresses are different. Some are powerful, some are slender, and they are so charming!"
Mu Qingyao couldn't help laughing when she heard this, and suppressed her laughter.
After all, I am a tiger, so it is not easy to laugh at other people's aesthetics.
One tiger, three people, and they set off.
After more than half a day, we arrived near Wuji Town.
Yun Que originally planned to go around from the edge of Wuji Town, but he met an acquaintance in the forest.
