"Young Master Li, we really can't walk anymore. Can we stop and rest for a while?"
After advancing for more than half a day through the winding and rugged mountain tunnels, the elderly villagers in the team finally couldn't hold on any longer and sat down on the ground, saying they were unwilling to leave anymore.
"Brother Li, everyone has indeed reached their limit. We are far away from the village. No one should catch up. Let's rest here for a while. At least eat something and drink some water first."
Miao Rui herself was very tired. In addition to rushing on her own, she also had to coordinate the team and appease the villagers. Before, she could only hold on with one breath, but now she saw everyone slumped on the ground, so she agreed.
"Okay, let's rest where we are for an hour. Everyone, hurry up and get some sleep. There are still more than two days to go. Then we will try to get out in one breath."
Scanning his gaze across the group of people lying in a mess, Li Mu also understood that it was impossible to force the villagers to move forward. Not to mention the slow speed of the movement, it might even arouse everyone's resistance, which would be more than worth the gain.
And what Miao Rui said is right. Everyone has been far away from the Snow Valley, and has entered the hidden cave tunnel. As long as the masters of the Tribulation Realm are not searching with all their strength, with those low-cultivation black-robed men, they will be able to escape in a short time. It is also extremely difficult to find them.
Li Mu felt relieved and no longer struggled. After using the vitality of heaven and earth to recuperate some of the weak villagers, he also took the time to meditate and rest, recharging his energy to prepare for possible dangers later.
At the same time, the King of Hundred Snakes has also arrived at the foot of the mountain. He raised his right hand slightly and waved it lightly towards the ground in front of him. A faint light began to flicker under the snow. They were the footprints left by the villagers of Snow Valley. , although Li Mu had carefully erased it, traces were still left.
The snake-like pupils were blinking constantly. The king of the "Blood" organization was full of fighting spirit. He couldn't let go of Li Mu's resurrection from the dead, as if a perfect work of art suddenly became incomplete. This is absolutely unacceptable to him who always pursues perfection, so he must remedy it no matter what.
"Brother Li, after we go out and get everyone settled, I will accompany you to find that treasure."
Miao Rui picked up a water cup made of bamboo and handed it to Li Mu beside her. If she still had the intention of taking advantage of him when they first met in Harr City, now she really regards Li Mu as his wife. Treat it as a lifesaver.
Miao Rui only said that she would help Li Mu find the sacred objects of the Shennong clan, but Miao Rui actually had no idea.
The Guide Clan has been away from the fairy world for too long and has no understanding of the current northern land. And just like the old village chief said, they actually have no way of finding the Snow Realm or the headquarters of Tingxue Tower.
The ancient maps and experiences have long been lost in the years. These people are now the simplest and most ordinary roughnecks in the countryside. They have been completely eliminated by the times and no longer have the reputation of being a group of guides.
In fact, Li Mu also knew these things, and he also understood why Miao Rui lied and said that she could help him find the holy objects at the beginning, because this was the only thing she could think of when she had nothing, and could use it to convince herself to help her rescue her relatives. something.
"That's natural. This is what we agreed upon at the beginning. Don't even think about defaulting on your debt. However, finding a baby still depends on chance. If it really can't be done, don't worry about it. I'll think about it again. There is no other way.”
Li Mu did not tell the truth, nor did he refuse Miao Rui's request. These days of getting along with him made him understand Xiao Nizi's strong character.
If you deliberately avoid the original agreement, it will make the other party feel guilty. It is better to follow the trend. Of course, it is not a dead end. If they are not found in the end, it will not be Miao Rui's responsibility.
"If you can't find it, I'll keep searching with you. The northern land is so big, you can always find it."
Miao Rui's words made Li Mu a little surprised. He turned his head and met the scorching eyes. This shocked him, who was already experienced in this. He quickly avoided the girl's gaze and started to distract him with other things. topic.
Li Mu's dodge made Miao Rui feel a flash of loneliness, but it was only for a moment. She felt more lonely than ever.
Knowing the gap between him and Li Mu, he wouldn't think that the other person pretending to be his "boyfriend" would really become a reality.
However, after experiencing the red poisonous porridge incident, Miao Rui's attitude towards life has also changed a lot. She began to understand Miao Jiaxi's crazy decision back then, and also understood that some things were destined to be pursued by herself.
An hour passed very quickly. After completing the last weekly breath adjustment, Li Mu felt that his energy had completely returned to its peak. After looking at most of the villagers who had also rested, he planned to stand up and greet everyone to continue on their way.
But a sudden change occurred at this moment, and a voice sounded in Li Mu's ears, making his heart suddenly rise to his throat.
"Have you finished resting? How about we start?"
The playful and perverted tone and the icy-cold words made Li Mu's whole body go crazy. The Tiansheng Jue was running wildly, and the Star Meteor Sword was unsheathed in an instant, and he struck out in the direction of the sound.
Dazzling fire shot up into the sky, but touched nothing. A strange sound was erratic, and the next moment it sounded on Li Mu's left side.
"Don't be impatient. I want to turn your death into the most perfect work of art. These mundane things are too much in the way, so I'll kill them all first."
As soon as he finished speaking, a rift in space appeared without warning. As a small green snake poked its head out, a terrifying sense of depression filled the entire tunnel.
Li Mu's face changed wildly. He didn't expect the worst result to happen. In such a narrow environment, Xiaopi couldn't fight with all his strength. Even if he could hold back the King of Hundred Snakes, the devastating aftermath would be enough to destroy Xue. All the villagers in the valley were killed.
"Stop, it's me you want. These people are of no use to you, and they can't make your artwork more perfect."
Li Mu growled at the little green snake that had half of its body out. He was betting on the abnormal psychology of the King of Snakes. He was betting that the perfect art of death he thought should be the purest, killing one or two hundred more mortals. They will only tarnish the work.
"What you said makes sense, and if we really kill them all, the Lord Protector will probably punish me again. Okay, I will keep their lives for now."
The little green snake thought for a moment and then adopted Li Mu's suggestion. A mysterious force emerged, grabbing Li Mu's body in an attempt to pull him into the rift in space.
"Miao Rui, take everyone forward and I'll come back as soon as I go."
Li Mu looked calm. He knew that if he did not follow the King of Hundred Snakes, the villagers of Snow Valley would die. He gave an instruction to Miao Rui, who was looking anxious, and took the little monkey into the rift in space without hesitation. .
