Chen Fan and Yalan looked at each other, silently walked into the tree hole, and carefully closed the hole.
"What happened?" Mu Ge sat deep in the tree hole and asked nervously: "I just heard a huge roar outside. Is it a monster approaching?"
Chen Fan sat next to her, closed his eyes and meditated, feeling the full of energy in his body, but did not answer.
Most of the energy from the five warriors just now has dissipated in the air, and he can only absorb a small part of it. However, since one of the five was a master in the Qi Condensation Realm, even if only a small amount of Qi flowed into his body, it was enough to make him feel energetic.
However, Chen Fan was a little worried. He didn't know when those negative forces would strike, so he always maintained a cautious attitude.
Yalan looked at Chen Fan who was practicing quietly, smiled slightly, and then explained to Mu Ge in detail what had just happened. After listening to this, Mu Ge's face became even more bitter. In this turbulent time, she was originally worried about her future, but now there are monsters running rampant, making her feel that her future is bleak.
As the sky gradually turns white, the sun rises slowly from the horizon like a shy girl. On this beautiful day, the three of them did not choose to continue resting. Instead, they chatted quietly in the tree hole and shared their experiences with each other.
Before this, due to the presence of Luo Jing and others, Chen Fan did not have many opportunities to communicate in depth with these two women, and he knew very little about their life backgrounds. Now that Luo Jing and his party have unfortunately died, Chen Fan realizes that he has the responsibility to know more about them so that they can better collaborate with each other to deal with possible difficulties in the days to come.
Chen Fan asked in a serious tone: "Mu Ge, why are the people from the Ghost Palace hunting you down? Are you all from the Huorong Empire?"
Mu Ge nodded slightly and replied with a sad look: "This is all because of me..."
Seeing that Mu Ge was willing to explain, Chen Fan naturally wanted to understand the situation in detail. He asked, "What exactly happened?"
Mu Ge glanced at Yalan, then sighed softly, as if hesitating whether he should tell Chen Fan the secret. Yalan looked a little surprised. She looked at Chen Fan doubtfully and asked: "You don't know Xiao Mu's life experience? Although you are from the Merchant Alliance, you should have heard of the deeds of General Mu Wu of the Huorong Empire, right? "
Upon hearing the name "Mu Wu", Chen Fan's expression instantly became serious. Mu Wu, the commander of the Iron-Blooded Legion of the Huorong Empire, is known as the "Iron-Blooded Martial King". He was stunned for a moment, then nodded gently with a sullen face, and replied: "It turns out that she is the granddaughter of the 'Iron-Blooded Martial King', now I understand."
The vivid memory of the "Iron-Blooded Martial King" Mu Wu began to gradually revive in Chen Fan's mind. As these memories were presented layer by layer, Chen Fan's thoughts began to become clearer.
In another period of time, Chen Fan had an in-depth understanding of the "Iron-Blooded Martial King" Mu Wu. "Iron-Blooded Martial King" is not just as impulsive as his title. He is the leader of the powerful Goshawk Legion in the Huorong Empire. His cultivation in the Soul Realm allows him to occupy a vital position in the empire and becomes the Iron Lung Iron King. Courageous decision makers.
His influence in the Huorong Empire was just the beginning. Even in the Merchant Alliance and the Divine Grace Empire, his reputation was at the peak of his powers.
Mu Wu's military talent can be called sacred. In the battle between the Huorong Empire and the Shen'en Empire, his presence is undoubtedly a symbol of fierceness and ruthlessness. As long as the enemy falls into his sight, he will turn into clay without exception.
However, Mu Wu's tough character was not limited to his enemies. He also acted decisively and insisted on his own opinions at home, which led to conflicts with many powerful officials.
In the battle three years ago, Mu Wu was surrounded by five warriors of the same level. Mu Wu once attracted everyone's attention for his extraordinary bravery and left a lot of hostility behind him. His death caused his family to be destroyed almost instantly.
Chen Fan sneered at this and shook his head gently: "I have heard about the 'Iron-Blooded Martial King', his person and his deeds."
"Xiao Mu, that is King Wu's precious granddaughter, and she is the only surviving bloodline in the Mu family today. The "Ghost Hall", a famous killer team in the country, massacred the Mu family. The reason why Xiao Mu was able to escape was entirely because The moment the tragedy of the Mu family occurred, her martial spirit unleashed magnificent power."
"Are you saying that Miss Mu can use the martial spirit of the music to kill people through the sound of the piano?"
"Yes, Xiao Mu's piano sound has a dual effect. On the one hand, it can relieve people's crazy state. On the other hand, it can penetrate people's defenses and rupture their internal organs. This is what the 'Ghost Hall' wants to capture. Xiao Mu, their palace master is practicing a unique sorcery and is on the verge of losing his mind. The sound of Xiao Mu’s piano is undoubtedly the sound of salvation for him after he became possessed."
Chen Fan nodded after understanding, "I understand."
Mu Ge hated the 'Ghost Hall' extremely, and she hoped that none of them would be left. Now the palace master wants to use her to practice evil arts, so naturally she cannot give in no matter what. However, the power of the 'Ghost Hall' was so great that she could only go to other countries to hide.
After learning about Mu Ge's background and identity, Chen Fan asked: "Why can't Miss Mu use her martial spirit now?"
There is something special about Xiao Mu's martial spirit. Every time he releases a large-scale destructive power, part of the tendons will be disconnected like a tight string. Before the tendons are reconnected, it is difficult for the vitality to flow smoothly. , if you use your vitality rashly, you will be seriously injured immediately, and the recovery speed of your martial soul will be even slower. "
Yalan looked sad, "Two months ago, just when we were about to enter the Dark Forest from the Empire border, we were hunted down by people from the 'Ghost Palace'. At that time, we lost several comrades, and Uncle Luo couldn't hold on anymore. Xiao Mu had no choice but to use martial arts. Although he killed many people in the 'Ghost Hall', Xiao Mu's own tendons were also broken and he has not recovered yet."
"Do you need the help of your muscles and veins to activate your martial spirit?" After listening to Mu Ge's explanation, Chen Fan asked in surprise, "Are you playing the piano or your muscles and veins?"
"I can't give a reasonable answer..." Mu Ge answered listlessly, obviously still worried about the damage to his muscles.
Faced with the problem of martial soul damage, Chen Fan frowned and fell into deep thought. Suddenly he said: "Maybe I can provide some help."
Upon hearing the news, Mu Ge and Yalan's eyes lit up and they immediately stared at him.
"Ahem..." Chen Fan did not expect this reaction. He replied awkwardly: "Actually, I saw Yalan's awakening of the martial spirit, and I felt that my medicinal power might be helpful in the recovery of the martial spirit. so……"
"Don't think too much!"
Upon hearing Chen Fan's suggestion, Mu Ge immediately objected loudly, his sharp eyes piercing him like a sword, "Don't expect your unreasonable ideas to be used on me!"
Mu Ge knew clearly how Yalan's martial spirit was awakened, but she would never be able to do it with her own untouched body.
"I'm just mentioning it casually, don't take it too seriously." Chen Fan explained sheepishly, while looking up at the sky at the entrance of the cave, "It's almost noon now, and the movement of the monsters outside has gradually stopped. We should continue on our way. Already."
"Okay." Yalan smiled and nodded in agreement.
…
As the three of them walked out of the tree hole, Yalan still carried Mu Ge on her shoulders, and they continued to move forward in the dreamy dark forest.
After a night of hunting, the monsters seemed to have really entered a state of rest. The three of them did not encounter a high-level monster along the way. However, the fresh human bones appearing on the roadside from time to time gave the three of them a deep understanding of the ferocity of the monster last night.
As night gradually fell, Chen Fan suddenly felt that the acupuncture essence in his body was purifying faster, and various negative forces began to surge into his heart again, making him feel an uncontrollable violent emotion.
He understood that Mu Ge's piano music could calm the negative emotions in his heart, but in the silent forest, the piano music might also attract the attention of monsters and the pursuers of the Ghost Hall. Thinking of his last experience with Yalan, Chen Fan hesitated for a moment, and then his fiery eyes stayed on Yalan's irresistible body for a while, and he already made a decision in his heart.
…
As night fell, darkness instantly enveloped the entire valley.
Mu Ge, a petite figure, huddled among the dense branches and leaves of an ancient tree. Her cheeks were flushed with anger, her eyes were full of hatred, and she was staring at a bush ten meters away.
In the bushes over there, the leaves kept swaying, and suppressed low calls came intermittently, as if they were accusing something.
"What a couple!" Mu Ge bit his lower lip and cursed bitterly.
After a long cry, the bushes finally calmed down.
After a few minutes, Chen Fan and Yalan walked out of the bushes in disheveled clothes. Chen Fan looked calm and walked steadily, as if what just happened had never happened. As for Yalan, her long hair was covered with grass clippings, her cheeks were lightly flushed, her beautiful eyes showed a sense of contented spring, and there was a smile on her lips.
"Miss Mu, haven't you rested yet?" After Chen Fan approached, he looked up at Mu Ge and found that she was looking at him with disdain, so he smiled lightly and asked casually.
"Hmph!" Mu Ge scolded with a straight face, "You are so shameless!"
"Oh?" Chen Fan smiled and said nonchalantly: "Maybe we won't even see the sun tomorrow, so who will care about this? Just be happy now, why bother thinking so much?"
"That's right, maybe we will already be three corpses by this time tomorrow, and I won't think about it so much." Yalan walked over, elegant and generous, with only a little bit of embarrassment on her face.
After hearing what they said, Mu Ge was stunned for a moment, as if he was awakened by something, and swallowed back the words he was planning to refute.
"Sister Lan, practice hard, maybe you can really make a breakthrough." Chen Fan smiled, with a cunning light shining in his eyes, as if he had seen through something.
Hearing this, Yalan's face flashed with emotion, and then she smiled sweetly: "You always surprise people, haha!" There was a hint of ridicule in her words, but her eyes were full of trust and appreciation.
After saying that, Yalan climbed up the ancient tree easily, found a branch with thick leaves and sat down, leaving Mu Ge stunned in place, looking at her back with doubts in his eyes.
Chen Fan did not follow Yalan up the tree, but chose to sit cross-legged under the tree. The fun he had just had with Yalan completely vented the negative emotions in his body, and was replaced by a strange power. Most of this power poured into his body, nourishing the martial spirit in his body. .
Only a small part, as his essence was injected into Yalan's body, Yalan also benefited.
Chen Fan closed his eyes, feeling the influence of this strange power on his body's flesh and blood, and then slowly circulated his vitality and performed the great cycle.
An hour later, when Chen Fan felt that this strange power had been completely integrated into his body's flesh and blood, he secretly activated the "Iron Martial Spirit".
Thinking silently in his mind, Chen Fan raised his arms, and his originally fair skin began to change slightly, gradually taking on a metallic texture. After a while, his arm turned dark brown.
Dark brown? He was a little confused, what was going on?
Chen Fan opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes shining like stars, and his face was filled with an expression of disbelief. He stared nervously at the dark brown arm, his eyes sharp.
Dark brown! This is really dark brown!
Chen Fan was so excited that he almost wanted to laugh out loud. At this moment, he finally understood the miraculous effect those strange powers had on his martial soul. He knew that as long as he could control this power, his strength would reach new heights.
