Two days later, Huiyue City, outside the north gate.
When Li Mu and the others arrived at the gathering place at the agreed time, Ruolan, Uncle Fu, and Hua Aotian had already been waiting for some time.
Ruolan changed from the palace attire of the past and wore a dark red outfit. Her beautiful long hair was also tied up, and her heroic appearance made people's eyes shine.
Uncle Fu still looked kind and congenial, wearing a brown gown. When he saw Li Mu and the others coming, he smiled and waved.
Hua Aotian on the side was still clinging to Ruolan's side like a dog-skin plaster. He was talking about how he had carefully prepared and how the trip would go smoothly. The eldest son of the Hua family did not look at Ruolan with disgust at all. Take it to heart and show your so-called "charm and grace" on your own.
"Why did you arrive so late? A bunch of burdensome people are still dragging their feet. Do you really think you are going for a sightseeing tour?"
Seeing Li Mu's arrival, Hua Aotian was naturally unhappy. Especially when he saw Ruolan, who was unwilling to say a word to him, actually stepped forward to greet Li Mu, he felt as if he wanted to eat a fly. He snorted coldly and opened his mouth to blame.
"I'm sorry, we arrived here according to the agreed time. We were not late as Mr. Hua said. Besides, it's not certain who is a burden. Mr. Hua, please don't rush to judge."
As soon as he heard Hua Aotian's sarcasm, Li Mu's temper rose. Are you kidding me? I'm a level 10 keyboard warrior, Zu An. You want to quarrel with me? He spoke back on the spot.
"you……"
The three of them, Li Mu, are much younger than the others. Hua Aotian really wanted to bully the newcomers. He originally wanted to educate Li Mu on the meaning of elders and inferiors before setting off. It would be best to let him In front of Lan, he was said to be full of ugliness.
But he never thought that Li Mu didn't accept his trick at all, and he didn't regard himself as a senior at all. He was so reviled that he couldn't say a word for a while.
Seeing that their master's face was red with anger, the two guards standing behind Hua Aotian stepped forward and wanted to teach Li Mu a lesson. The two monks who had reached the level of alchemy formation made Li Mu and the others dare not neglect them. They are all running their skills one after another, and an internal fight is about to take place.
"Stop! Hua Aotian, what do you want to do? We are a team this time, and we want to attack our own people before we set off? I very much doubt whether you should be allowed to join us in this operation."
Ruolan's scolding brought an abrupt end to the fight that was about to break out. The two guards of the Hua family looked at Hua Aotian, obviously waiting for their master's order.
"Ruolan, you misunderstood. I just hope that there won't be anyone who fishes in troubled waters and enjoys the gains in this operation. After all, the most important thing is to finally get the treasure in the cave."
Hua Aotian winked at the two guards, and the two of them put away the momentum that had been pressing down on Li Mu and the three of them, and retreated behind the eldest son of the Hua family. Then Hua Aotian cupped his hands towards Li Mu and said, He said nonsense like not to be offended, but the murderous intent that flashed across his face could not escape Li Mu's eyes.
"Li Mu, this person..."
Fang Yan also felt something strange about Hua Aotian, so he came to Li Mu and said.
"Just be careful on our way. Besides, I advise him not to have other ideas, otherwise it won't be certain who will stay in the fairy cave."
Li Mu looked directly at Hua Aotian. Although he didn't know why the eldest son of the Hua family was so hostile to him, since he traveled to this fairy world, Li Mu had long been accustomed to cross-level challenges and Jedi counterattacks. Hua Aotian didn't take action. If he really dared to stab him in the back, he would definitely make him regret it for the rest of his life.
Nowadays, Li Mu's strength is far inferior to what he was in Lishui City. The Immortal Body talent selected in the simulation system has strengthened his original biggest weakness, plus the burst bonus of a knowing blow. , Not to mention Hua Aotian, who is also a master of the Dan Formation Realm, even the two guards behind him, Li Mu is sure to defeat them.
Everyone had their own thoughts, and this makeshift team embarked on a journey to explore the cave of the Infinite Realm Insect Controller.
The actual location of the cave in the intelligence is in a mountain range about two hundred miles away from Huiyue City. Since the first half of the journey was along the imperial trade route, Ruolant specially arranged for a luxurious carriage made of red wood to travel there. The finished car body and a total of six tall horses made Li Mu deeply understand what the luxury of the rich meant.
Although they are also from a wealthy family, it is obvious that the Li family in Qinglan City is not known for their wealth. Li Yubai, the city owner, can be described as extremely incorruptible. This also made Li Mu and Li Mu, who were riding in such a carriage for the first time, express their curiosity. look.
"Hmph, they are a bunch of bumpkins. I really don't know how Ruolan got to know these poor people."
Hua Aotian despised Li Mu and others in his heart. The young master of the Hua family, who grew up with a golden key in his mouth, usually disliked these poor children the most. The strong class concept has long been deeply rooted in his bones.
"Brother Mu, this guy is really annoying. Look at the way his eyes are higher than his head, and his nostrils are about to go up to the sky."
Lin Qingzhu, who had always been knowledgeable and sensible, couldn't stand Hua Aotian's behavior, so he whispered in Li Mu's ear.
At the same time, the little monkey squatting on Li Mu's shoulder seemed to feel the discrimination from Hua Aotian. He grinned at him and made a face. This made the young master of the Hua family so angry that he almost wanted to take action. , but when he thought of Ruolan's warning, he could only suppress his anger, look away, and no longer look at the situation on Li Mu's side.
As time went by, the wide commercial road slowly began to narrow, and the terrain gradually became higher. Li Mu opened the curtains of the carriage and looked outside, only to see that they had entered the mountain road, and below the mountain was a fast-flowing river. , countless vigorous pines and cypresses are rooted in the mountains on both sides of them. The mountains and rivers intersect, and people can actually feel a few rays of fairy spirit in the clouds and mist.
The last section of the road is steep and narrow, and the carriage can only travel on the cliff. Fortunately, Jin Fuxuan, the coachman who drove the carriage, was very skilled. He seemed to be pulling the reins carelessly, but even though the road conditions were extremely poor, with ups and downs, and one sharp turn followed by the next, he still maintained the stability of the carriage.
But even so, Li Mu, who was riding a carriage into the mountains for the first time, broke into a cold sweat, fearing that the huge carriage would flip over into the river below the cliff, including the people and the horses.
Everyone else in the car was calm and relaxed. Except for Li Mu, everyone was closing their eyes and recuperating, adjusting their state for searching for the cave. Li Mu also tried to calm down, but the bumpy car and the constant jumping Xiaopi jumped away so that he had no choice but to give up and simply cast his gaze towards the mountains through the car window to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
About an hour later, with a long neigh from the horses, the carriage slowly stopped.
"Miss, we have reached the end of the commercial road. We have crossed this bridge and then turned around this mountain bend, and we will enter the Xuewu Mountain range marked on the map."
Li Mu rubbed his sore neck vigorously while helping Lin Qingzhu jump out of the carriage. He looked in the direction of the driver's finger. After crossing a huge wooden bridge, there was a giant white bowl-shaped mountain standing at the end of the road. , the height of the mountain gives people the feeling of looking up at the mountains, with layers of clouds completely covering the top of the mountain.
The snow-capped mountains in front of them made Li Mu and the others feel a slight chill. Unknowingly, they had followed the mountain road to such a high altitude. However, after running the Tiansheng Jue, the low temperature no longer affected them.
"Let's set off. Once we enter the range of Xuewu Mountain, we will leave the range of the official map. Everyone, please be more careful. Uncle Fu and I will go in front, Li Mu and you will go in the middle, and Hua Aotian and you will be in the rear."
After simply assigning the team's positions, Ruolan took the lead and led everyone towards the mountain.
