The two of them had just walked out of the dilapidated temple when they heard footsteps.
"Someone's coming," Han Yi exclaimed.
"Be careful. Give me the bow and arrow."
Mu Yun took the bow and arrow and hid behind a big tree with Han Yi.
They saw a man carefully walking towards the dilapidated temple.
This man's movements were as alert as a wild beast's. With every step he took, he looked around cautiously. He was holding an iron saber tightly in his hand. This was the only thing he had.
"What should we do?" Han Yi asked softly.
"Kill him."
Mu Yun did not hesitate at all. In this dangerous place, other than Han Yi, everyone else was an enemy. He could not be merciful or there would be endless trouble in the future.
He pulled the bow and arrow and shot an arrow from behind the tree. With a whoosh, the arrow flew out and shot straight towards the man.
"Oh no!"
The man turned pale with fright. He wanted to dodge, but his mortal body's movements were too slow. How could he compare to the speed of the bow and arrow?
Puchi …
Mu Yun's arrow pierced through his throat. He clutched his throat, his facial features contorted in pain. He fell to the ground, twitched a few times, and died.
Mu Yun looked at the man's corpse and could not help but tremble. He was afraid, excited, and nervous. His hands were trembling non-stop, and his entire body was cold.
Ever since he started cultivating, he had killed countless enemies. His state of mind had never wavered. But at this moment, his entire body was trembling.
This was because he was only a mortal now. If someone was hiding in the dark and shooting at him, he would also die. His sneak attack was like a hunter hunting a wild beast in the dark. As he watched his prey fall, a primitive feeling of excitement welled up in Mu Yun's heart. It was also mixed with nervousness and fear. He was afraid that he would also die, that he would be killed without knowing why.
He would be killed by someone.
"Brother Mu Yun, are you alright?" Han Yi gently held Mu Yun's hand.
"I'm fine, I'm fine."
Mu Yun pulled out his iron sword and walked over to cut the man's throat. Then, he kept his iron saber.
"Brother Mu Yun, he's already dead. Why do you still want to kill him?"
"If you want to kill someone, you have to finish him off. Let's go."
Mu Yun composed herself and wiped the bloodstains on her sword. After calming down, she pulled Han Yi and continued on their journey.
Night fell, and Mu Yun did not find any supplies. The sky was getting darker, and the roars of wild beasts could be heard in the darkness. She could not run around anymore, or she would be attacked by wild beasts and die without a doubt.
Mu Yun set up the tent. Han Yi picked up some dry wood and came back to start a fire. The light of the flames dispelled the darkness and cold.
"Brother Mu Yun, I'm hungry."
Han Yi looked at Mu Yun pitifully.
"Okay, take it."
Mu Yun passed the water bag and military grain pills to Han Yi.
"Brother Mu Yun, what about you?" Han Yi took the water bag and drank a mouthful. However, she did not eat the military ration pill because she knew that there was only one of it.
Military grain pills were used to alleviate hunger. Just like her, Mu Yun hadn't eaten anything for a whole day.
"I'm not hungry. You eat first."
Mu Yun smiled faintly and set up the tent.
"Thank you, Brother Mu Yun."
Han Yi ate the military ration pill and her hunger immediately disappeared. This pill was really effective.
Mu Yun had a bitter smile on his face. It seemed that he was going to starve tonight.
He had already forgotten how long it had been since he experienced the feeling of hunger.
As the night deepened, Mu Yun and Han Yi squeezed into a small tent and slept back to back. If they wanted to survive in this dangerous place, they couldn't care less. If Mu Yun went out to sleep in the wilderness, he might die of hunger and cold.
As for Duan Feiyun, he was a puppet. Even if he became a mortal, he didn't need to eat, drink, or sleep. Mu Yun asked him to guard outside in case of any accidents.
The next day, Mu Yun woke up. His stomach was very hungry. He had to find food today, or else he might starve to death.
"Everyone, congratulations on passing the first day. Currently, 12 people have been killed, and 88 people are still alive. I wish you all good luck."
An old voice came from the sky. The old man was patrolling in the sky.
"I didn't expect 12 people to die on the first day."
Mu Yun's face darkened. It seemed that this dangerous place challenge was indeed very dangerous.
This dangerous place challenge was the latest challenge set up by Fairy Xi Xia. It didn't exist in the past. It was all because in recent years, more and more people wanted to enter Xi Xia Treasure Mountain. Even if Xi Xia Treasure Mountain was rich in spirit energy, it couldn't withstand so many people seeking to cultivate.
Therefore, Fairy Xi Xia set up this dangerous challenge. Only the final winner could enter the treasure mountain to cultivate. It wasn't that easy for ordinary people to fish in troubled waters.
Mu Yun continued forward and suddenly saw a blue teleportation array in front of him.
This teleportation array could directly leave the dangerous place and return to the outside world.
Mu Yun's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly wanted to go back because a mortal's body was too weak. It was very dangerous in this dangerous place. If he wasn't careful, he would die without a burial ground.
"I can't go back. Otherwise, all my previous efforts will be wasted."
Mu Yun gritted his teeth. He had to persevere. Otherwise, it would be too late for regrets if he failed.
He believed that there would definitely be many people who couldn't help but return today. This dangerous place challenge was too dangerous. Ordinary people had spent a lot of effort to cultivate to the Great Dao of the Sage Realm. It would be too unfair to die so carelessly.
However, behind this high risk was a huge reward.
Cultivating in Xi Xia Treasure Mountain would make one's cultivation progress by leaps and bounds. Moreover, there were many natural treasures in the treasure mountain. As long as one could step into the treasure mountain, they would definitely obtain countless benefits.
Mu Yun continued forward with Han Yi. A plum forest appeared in front of them. The plum blossoms were ripe and could quench thirst and hunger.
"Brother Mu Yun, there's a plum forest in front!" Han Yi was pleasantly surprised and wanted to run over to pick the plum blossoms.
"Wait!"
Mu Yun hurriedly pulled her back and said, "Be careful. I'll go scout the way first."
Mu Yun controlled the puppet Duan Feiyun and let Duan Feiyun scout the way.
Duan Feiyun walked into the plum forest. Suddenly, a series of arrows shot out from both sides of the forest, turning Duan Feiyun into a hedgehog.
Mu Yun and Duan Feiyun instantly lost contact. Duan Feiyun, the puppet, had been destroyed.
The bodies of mortals were too fragile. Even puppets were no exception. Even if their energy cores were still there, they couldn't survive.
"Damn it. There's indeed an ambush!"
Mu Yun gritted his teeth. Fortunately, he asked Duan Feiyun to scout the way. Otherwise, he and Han Yi would have become corpses if they foolishly barged in.
It was a pity that Duan Feiyun, the puppet, was gone just like that. Duan Feiyun was a Great Saint-level expert!
Mu Yun truly felt the horror of this dangerous place challenge. No matter how powerful one's cultivation was, once one became a mortal, one's life and death would be up to fate.
"Brother Mu Yun, what should we do?" Han Yi was a little panicked.
"It's fine. We'll guard here. When they come out, you shoot the arrows and I'll kill them."
Mu Yun calmed himself down and hid in the bushes with Han Yi.
"Oh."
Han Yi was a little nervous when she heard that she had to shoot the arrows to kill. Her delicate hands held the bow tightly, and her palms were full of sweat.
After a while, two men walked out of the woods. Their faces were filled with excitement.
"Hahaha, this Zhuge Repeating Crossbow is really useful. Its lethality is indeed powerful."
One of the men held a repeating crossbow in his hand. The power of this repeating crossbow was obviously much more powerful than Mu Yun's bow.
"Do it!"
Murderous intent flashed across Mu Yun's eyes as he gave Han Yi a look.
Han Yi gritted her teeth and took a deep breath. Then, she drew her bow and shot an arrow at him.
Whoosh …
The sharp arrow directly pierced through one of the men's heads. He fell to the ground, and the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow in his hand also fell to the ground.
"Who's there?"
The other man was so frightened that his face turned pale. He drew his weapon and was on guard.
However, Mu Yun did not give him any chance to attack. He charged forward and chopped off his head.
The battle ended in a flash. There were two corpses on the ground, and Mu Yun and Han Yi were unharmed.
The two of them looked at each other. They were panting, and their tensed nerves relaxed.
Mu Yun picked up the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow and hung it on his waist. With this equipment, he would be much safer.
With the threat removed, Mu Yun and Han Yi entered the plum forest. There were many plum fruits here, and it was enough to quench their thirst and satisfy their hunger. The food problem was finally solved.
Mu Yun found Duan Feiyun's corpse. It had been shot by the crossbow and was a mess of flesh and blood.
He shook his head and kept the page of the Ice Peak Earth Origin Book. Then, he hastily buried Duan Feiyun's corpse.
There was a large "Seal" word printed on the page of the Earth Origin Book. It was obviously sealed and could no longer be used in this dangerous place.
As night fell, Mu Yun and Han Yi squeezed into the tent. They could finally have a good night's sleep.
The next day, the two of them were woken up by an old voice. "Everyone, congratulations on making it through another day. Yesterday, ten people were killed, and six people left. Currently, there are seventy-two people left in the Land of Doom. Today, the poison gas will erupt, so you must go to the safe zone. New treasure chests will appear.
If you can find the treasure chests, you will obtain pills that can restore your strength. Good luck. "
The old man waved his hand and set up a green safe zone. Outside the safe zone, poisonous gas began to erupt. The poisonous gas whistled from the periphery of the mountain range and approached step by step.
Mu Yun's expression changed slightly. The place he was at was about a day's journey away from the safe zone, and the source of the poisonous gas was very close to him.
"Let's go quickly!"
Mu Yun pulled Han Yi's hand and hurriedly ran in the direction of the safe zone. If the poisonous gas spread, they would definitely die.
The teleportation formations outside the safe zone were all closed. They couldn't leave even if they wanted to now. They had to run to the safe zone to survive.
Mu Yun and Han Yi ran quickly. Suddenly, they heard the sound of horse hooves. They saw a man galloping over on a fierce horse.
"Hehe, you two little fellows. It's so pitiful to travel on foot. I'll give you a ride!"
The man laughed loudly and rushed over on his horse. He wanted to use the momentum of the fierce horse to knock Mu Yun and Han Yi to death.
