"Didn't you say you'd be back at noon? It's already this hour, why is there still no one there? Could it be that you've encountered some difficulty?"
Su Mu looked out from the top of the mountain.
There was no returning figure of the hunting team in the distance.
He couldn't help but feel worried.
Just as he was about to go take a look, he saw the village chief walking towards him tremblingly.
He looked very tired, he was a bit old, and even though he had a foundation in cultivation when he was young, he couldn't maintain his energy for too long.
According to Sumu Mu, his lifespan may have come to an end in these three to five years.
However... after Su Mu's transformation, Shicun was transformed into a paradise. In this environment, the village chief could live for at least five more years.
Of course, if you can still take some heavenly materials and earthly treasures, your body's functions can be restored to some extent, thereby extending your life span.
"Village chief, are you here to see me?"
Su Mu felt strange.
The village chief took a breath and said with a complicated expression: "Master Immortal, I have something important to ask of you during this trip, and I hope you can agree."
"What's the matter?"
Su Mu frowned.
The village chief hesitated for a moment, then sighed, "Master Immortal, the spiritual energy in Stone Village is getting stronger and stronger. I guess it is your handiwork, right?"
"With such means, you are definitely not an ordinary person. Although we don't know what your purpose is in coming to this remote country, it is not something we should worry about."
"The reason why I came here is to worship the spirits in the back mountain... Since you have such a powerful ability, you can also save the spirits of our Shicun, right?"
Say it.
He felt lost.
"Sacrifice to the spirit?"
Su Mu was a little confused when he heard this.
The existence of worshiping spirits has been a long time ago.
However... Shicun is located in the ancestral land of the ancient immortals, and their so-called spirit sacrifice may not be simple.
"yes."
"Our clan's sacrificial spirit has been rooted here since the existence of Stone Village, and it has been passed down for countless years."
“He has been sleeping for as long as I can remember.”
"However, just a few years ago, the life breath of our clan's sacrificial spirits continued to lose, and now it has withered and fallen to the extreme..."
Before he finished speaking, he sighed.
If the body of the sacrificer dies, the villagers will have no faith to rely on, and they will be like rootless duckweeds.
No matter how.
As long as there is a slight chance, he will try to revive the sacrificial spirit.
And the one who is most capable of doing it now...who else besides Su Mu?
"So what you mean is that you hope that I can save the spirit of Shicun?"
Su Mu understood.
It seems that the method he used today attracted the attention of the village chief.
have to say.
The village chief has seen the world.
"I hope the immortal master can accept this unkind invitation from me."
The village chief quickly saluted.
Su Mu looked helpless. He had already accepted the little guy as his disciple. How could he still sit back and watch what happened in Shicun?
"I'll try my best, but whether I can succeed or not depends on God's will."
He didn't guarantee it.
This kind of thing is difficult to grasp, and... I don’t know how many years the Ishimura Sacrificial Spirit has existed, and it is most likely that his life span is approaching.
It's not that easy to save him.
At most, it can only extend your life by a few years.
"Of course I understand, thank you so much, Master Immortal!"
"If you can revive the sacrificial spirit, you can take away any artifacts in Stone Village that you like!"
The village chief looked happy and wanted to salute again.
Remove some of the haze from my mind.
No matter what, just try your best. If even Su Mu can't do it, they can only accept their fate.
"The village chief doesn't have to be like this. Xiao Heng is my disciple, so the affairs of Shicun are naturally my business."
Su Mu said quickly.
There are many secrets in Stone Village. If I take action to save the sacrifice spirit, it can be considered as a convenience for myself.
He needs to research whether there are any clues about the fragmentation of the Immortal Realm in the Ancient Immortal Ancestral Land.
Even... is there any inheritance left from the Immortal Realm?
This is an incredible opportunity.
An ancestral weapon in Stone Village is a supreme immortal weapon, let alone others!
"In this case, I can't be more polite to the immortal master."
"I also ask the immortal master to come with me to the back mountain."
"When we get to the back mountain, I hope the immortal master can follow my footsteps, otherwise something terrible will happen."
The village chief said seriously.
"Something terrible will happen in the mountains behind?"
Su Mu was stunned when he heard this.
He became curious, what on earth was this terrifying thing?
Could it be a strange substance?
Or is it about the mystery of the broken fairyland?
"Yes, even the villagers don't dare to walk around in the back mountains at will. Once they go the wrong way, they will never come back in this life."
The village chief looked serious.
It doesn't seem like he's bluffing.
When Su Mu heard this, he didn't know whether it was true or false.
Is there really something weird about the back mountain, or is there something shady buried in the back mountain of Shicun, so you don’t want outsiders to walk around the back mountain at will?
The latter is just a random guess on his part.
The villagers here are simple and honest, so he naturally prefers the former.
Of course... it could also be because there is something terrifying hidden in the back mountain, but the villagers don't know.
This possibility is perhaps the greatest.
"Understood. I will follow the village chief and will not move around at will."
Su Mu nodded.
Whether or not you really think so is another matter. No matter what was buried in the back mountain, he needed to explore it.
"By the way, the hunting team in the village hasn't returned yet, but what happened? Or is this the case in the past?"
Su Mu said worriedly.
Last time, the matter with the man in black robe was not settled yet, and the situation outside was not that safe.
"This happens often, so don't worry, Master Immortal."
"It seems that they have not found suitable prey, or there are too many suitable prey. They want to prepare all the food for the winter once and for all."
The village chief analyzed with a smile.
Ever since Shi Heng joined the hunting team, there wasn't much worry left in their hearts.
The little guy is very strong. As long as he doesn't go deep into the mountains, he generally won't encounter any danger.
"That's good."
Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
The main reason why he was worried was because Shi Heng was too young. In addition, there are scum from foreign lands hiding outside, so we have to be cautious.
I was in such a hurry today. Next time I will make a jade token for the little guy to carry with him.
The village chief nodded, and then led Su Mu toward the back mountain.
The back mountain has not yet been developed.
The trees are towering and green.
Lush and lush.
Deep and quiet.
It's like there's something terrible hidden.
There was an inconspicuous path in the forest. The village chief carefully followed this path and walked deeper into the dense forest.
Stop and go, not daring to leave the confines of the trail.
Su Mu was inevitably a little confused.
That being the case...why not widen the trail?
Wouldn’t it be easier to walk this way?
With confusion in his heart, Su Mu kept looking around.
