Late at night, the outside of the city was full of noise. The crypt demons seemed to have surrounded Arliut, but the city was too sturdy, so the demons could not break through and could only wander around anxiously.
A bonfire was lit on the stone floor of the observation deck, and everyone gathered around it. Lin Muyu took out a large beef leg from her Cosmic Bag, and Chang Wei roasted it for everyone to eat.
Rheia hugged her knees and sat quietly beside Lin Muyu. "Master …"
"Hmm, what's wrong, Rheia?"
"I'm leaving Arliut tomorrow. This is the first time I've left Arliut since I was born … The people in the village said that when Rheia was born, her mother died from excessive blood loss. Rheia is a person born with a curse. Aren't you afraid that Rheia will harm you?"
"No." Lin Muyu smiled faintly. "Even if you're the bane of all time, you won't be able to kill me. My life is tough … Chang Wei, what do you think? Are you afraid that Rheia will bring bad luck?"
As Chang Wei oiled the beef, he said, "I don't know if my life is tough, but it's definitely tough."
Rheia was speechless.
Lin Muyu ignored him and continued. "Rheia, do you have any unfulfilled wishes in Arliut? If you do, go and fulfill them. We don't know when we'll be back again. "
"Master, Rheia's sword was made for me by Uncle Wang. I've used it for many years, but this morning, you …"
"Oh, that …"
Lin Muyu smiled and rummaged through her Cosmic Bag for a while. Soon, an exquisite thin sword appeared in her hand. It was a very delicate sword, but its sharpness was obvious. This sword was found in the 64 domains. It was a subdivine artifact.
"This sword, do you like it?"
"Ah …"
Rheia's beautiful eyes became hazy, and her mouth opened wide. "Is … is this a legendary divine artifact?"
"A subdivine artifact, but not far from being a divine artifact. This sword's name is Star Trace. You must cherish it in the future. Star Trace will become your most loyal companion."
"Yes, thank you, Master!" Leah was overjoyed. She held the Star Trail in her hands and couldn't bear to part with it.
The guard looked at him from the side and said, "Daren, you are biased."
"Of course I'm biased. Rheia is my student, and you're just a passer-by …"
The guard: "In any case, we have gone through thick and thin together."
"That sword of yours is also a Sacred artefact. Don't talk about it. Just wait until it breaks. I don't have that many of them here. Don't be too greedy."
"…"
…
The next day, the three of them left Aleut.
The captain was still carrying his own bag of food, and Rheia did not have much to carry. She and Lin Muyu left the city empty-handed, heading towards Dawnlight City.
"The daytime in the Eternal Sword Domain is very short, less than 10 hours. Hence, we have to find a place to rest within these 10 hours. Otherwise, we'll once again become the hunting targets of the nighttime demons."
The guard said as he walked in the wilderness, "I feel pairs of eyes staring at me. It must be the Crypt Demons eyeing us again."
"Let them watch us. It's fine," Lin Muyu said casually.
Rheia seemed to be in a good mood. She walked beside Lin Muyu with her hands behind her back and said with a smile, "Master, Master, you haven't told me what you're going to teach me yet."
Lin Muyu smiled. "Your speed can be increased a little more. Also, Rheia, have you noticed that although your attacks are fast, they aren't sharp enough. What you should be practicing is to truly form an effective attack. If each of your attacks were fast, accurate, and ruthless, I'm afraid you could have killed the guard yesterday."
The guard grinned. "I really owe the two of you in my previous life."
Rheia chuckled. "Then what should I do?"
"I have a martial arts manual here. You just need to follow and practice it." Lin Muyu took out a Wind Walking Technique manual from her Cosmos Sack and handed it to her. This Wind Walking Technique was one of the 11 second-class martial arts manuals in the Holy Temple of Lanyan City. It was also the only martial arts manual known for its speed of cultivation.
Rheia took the martial arts manual with a face full of joy. "Thank you, Master!"
"The Wind Walking Technique is used to cultivate speed and attack methods. It will allow each of your attacks to be as fast as lightning. Furthermore, Rheia, your strength is too weak. You can't become a first-class powerhouse with only speed but no strength. I will teach you another Astral Technique in the future. I hope you will practice it well and not be lazy."
"Thank you, Master. Rheia understands!"
Zhang Wei rubbed his nose. He wanted to die, but he couldn't leave. Right now, Lin Muyu was like an umbrella protecting him. Once he left Lin Muyu, there was a high chance that Zhang Wei would be hunted down by the Hunter's League. That was no laughing matter.
…
In the blink of an eye, more than eight hours had passed. Rheia was indeed a martial arts prodigy. In just eight hours, she had already comprehended the Wind Walking Technique and had gained some experience. Lin Muyu wasn't in a hurry. She first let her learn the Wind Walking Technique. When she had some small success in the Wind Walking Technique, she would teach her the Astral Technique to increase strength. The Astral Technique was domineering and vigorous. Complemented by great speed, it would have amazing power.
As they were walking, a gurgling sound suddenly came from underground.
"What's that sound?"
"It comes from underground …" Rheia bit her red lips and said, "I've heard this sound once before. That time … seventeen of Ariut's people were killed by the Demons …"
"What does this sound have to do with the Demons?" Lin Muyu was stunned.
"It's the Queen Insect, the Queen Insect that gives birth to the Crypt Demons …" Zhang Wei frowned and said, "Madam, let's go and find a cave to hide in. Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be trouble tonight."
"The Crypt Demon's Queen Insect, I want to see it …" Lin Muyu said lightly, "Two nights ago, it put us in such a difficult situation. It's impolite not to reciprocate. I want to see!"
As he spoke, he felt the Queen Insect's aura. He raised his hand and used the Elephant's Invisible Art to move a boulder in front of him. Suddenly, a cave snaked into the depths of the ground. Lin Muyu even felt another aura. It was a very vigorous and vast power.
"You guys stay outside and wait for me."
"Yes, Master. You have to be careful!"
"Don't worry!"
Lin Muyu unsheathed her sword and flew into the cave. Suddenly, everything turned dark. Accompanied by hissing sounds, the Crypt Demons guarding the cave rushed over, but they were all killed with a single slash. After Lin Muyu killed over a hundred Crypt Demons, a bright light appeared in front of her. Sure enough, there was a huge insect lying there with a very high belly. This was her spawning period. In professional terms, this huge insect was the Queen Insect, and also one of the queens of this race.
But the key point was that Lin Muyu felt a powerful force in the Queen Insect's body, a force that did not belong to the Demons.
A Primordial Stone, it must be a Primordial Stone!
"Hiss …"
The Queen Insect felt an enemy enter its nest and began to move its body to resist, but Lin Muyu was too fast. With a single slash, she sent the Queen Insect's head flying. She then opened her hand and the power of the Saint Martial surged as she shouted, "Come out!"
The Queen Insect's abdomen exploded, and a bright Primordial Stone floated in the air.
Radiant Primordial Stone!
Lin Muyu never thought that there would be such a pure Radiant Primordial Stone in a place like this!
After refining the Primordial Stone, she put it in her hand and quickly left the cave filled with a fishy smell. When Lin Muyu flew out, Zhang Wei was stunned when he saw the Radiant Primordial Stone, "My god … that is a God's Gem?"
"What God's Gem?" Lin Muyu was also stunned.
"Lord War God, the gem in your hand is a God's Gem. I have seen it once in the Alliance Leader's hand. The God's Gem is very precious, and it is a treasure that all Lords fight for!"
"This thing is called Radiant Primordial Stone in the Six Realms." Lin Muyu put the Primordial Stone into her Cosmos Sack and said, "This is something that I urgently need. Is there another place that has it?"
Rheia shook her head, at a loss.
Zhang Wei said, "Every Insect Queen needs a powerful source of power to hatch a powerful Crypt Fiend. According to this inference, every Insect Queen isn't a coincidence. We all have God's Gem, but no one has ever obtained one from a Insect Queen before."
"Why?"
Zhang Wei had a helpless expression. "Not everyone in the Eternal Sword Region is as brave as you, Lord, daring to barge into a demon's nest alone …"
Lin Muyu said angrily, "Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. Let's go. We need to hurry and find a place to stay. I have just destroyed a demon's nest, and they might be looking for us to take revenge tonight."
"Yes …" Zhang Wei was also very worried.
…
Five kilometers away, they found a valley and a secret cave in the valley. The three of them withdrew their auras and spent the night in the cave.
This time, they did not dare to roast meat, afraid that the smell would attract the Crypt Demons. So, the three of them only ate some dry rations.
In the middle of the night, a strong wind blew outside again, and the hissing of the Crypt Demons could be heard in the distance. They had formed groups and were searching for the whereabouts of the enemy.
Leah was like a nimble bat on a rock at the entrance of the cave. After observing for a while, she floated over and sat beside Lin Muyu. "Master, there are so many Crypt Demons, at least tens of thousands. The whole valley is full of them … They are pulling rocks and digging the ground to find us. I wonder if they will find us here."
"No, the Crypt Demons don't know how to climb trees or rock walls, and the cave we're in is on a rock wall. They won't be able to find us." Lin Muyu smiled confidently. She was still holding the Xuan-Yuan Sword and resting with her eyes closed.
Leah smiled sweetly. "Alright Master. Uncle Zhang Wei, you go and guard the cave. Master and I will sleep for a while."
Zhang Wei was unhappy. "Why do I have to do something like keeping watch?"
"Master, you are too tired from protecting us during the day, and I have to cultivate, so I am even more tired. You are the only one with nothing to do. If you don't do it, who will?"
Zhang Wei grinned. "Little girl, you have a sharp tongue!"
"I am not as hard as you."
"…"
