A pile of steaming hot feces fell onto the snowy ground. It had a diameter of one meter and was still emitting steam. It quickly melted the snow around it and seemed to be full of energy.
Lin Muyu, Wei Chou, and the other Royal Guards observed it for a long time. Wei Chou muttered, "The color and smell of the feces should be that of a wild boar. A wild boar that can poop out such a big pile can't be small. Moreover, it probably went out to look for food and didn't walk too fast. We just need to follow the smell and footprints to find it."
As he spoke, Wei Chou sniffed his nose. He really didn't expect this brat to have this kind of skill.
Lin Muyu laughed and said, "Alright, Wei Chou lead the way, let's go quickly."
"Yes!"
… …
The group followed Wei Chou and quickly entered the sea of snow to search. They didn't even walk half a mile before they heard a "hu hu" sound in front of them. They saw a huge creature digging its way through the snow and then devouring the wild grass buried under the snow. It looked very funny with its butt sticking out, but its body was definitely huge and looked like a small mountain.
"Wow …"
Wei Qiu beamed with joy, and said: "Let's not talk about 1000 Jin for this wild boar, looking at its size, it should be at least 5000 Jin, right? It's almost a spirit! "
It was indeed a spirit. There were two golden lines on the head of this wild boar. It was a 2000 year old wild boar. A boar that could live for so long must have had enough to eat for many meals! In an instant, Lin Muyu thought of the wild boar that her father took her to eat when she was young. It was firm and tasty, far better than reared pork. She suddenly felt that this 2000 year old wild boar in front of her was actually very cute.
Wei Chou raised his hand and smiled as he ordered, "Surround it and block the path of this wild boar. Everyone be careful, don't use arrows or weapons to attack because this boar will be used for the Winter Sacrifice Ceremony. The carcass cannot be damaged and must be knocked unconscious. Do you understand?"
A group of Royal Guards whistled as they rode their horses forward. Wei Chou raised his longsword and rushed forward. He was the one in charge of the hunting mission this time. Lin Muyu had already lost an arm, so he couldn't work anymore.
However, Lin Muyu still urged her horse forward slowly. After all, the wild boar was a 2,000-year-old spirit beast. Wei Chou would definitely be able to defeat it, but it was hard to say if he could capture it without any losses.
"Yo … yo …" The group of royal guards began to clamor.
Immediately, the wild boar raised its head and looked at everyone with its cute face. It felt that they had come with ill intentions. These humans all looked like hungry ghosts that had entered a pork shop.
"Hu hu …"
The wild boar began to run for its life, but it was quickly pushed back by Wei Chou's True Qi. It hurriedly turned around and ran for its life again.
Lin Muyu couldn't stand it anymore. She raised her hand and a gourd vine suddenly broke out of the snow and tied up the wild boar tightly. She waved her right fist from afar and Demon Sound Fist flew through the air. After a "peng" sound, the 2000 year old wild boar fell to the ground with a miserable howl. In just an instant, its heart had already been shattered by Lin Muyu's Demon Sound Fist. There was no way it could struggle.
"It died just like that?" Wei Chou was stunned.
"Oh right, how could it not die after being hit by Demon Sound Fist?" Lin Muyu was a little proud, but she tried not to show it.
"Demon Sound Fist?" Wei Chou was shocked, "That's … the secret technique of White Robe Qu Chu?"
"Yes." Lin Muyu nodded. "When I was cultivating in Silver Fir City, I learned from Qu for a short period of time. He was the one who personally taught me the Demon Sound Fist."
Wei Chou immediately looked at Lin Muyu with not only respect, but also admiration. After all, Qu Chu was one of the few experts on the continent. Although no one knew how many Sacred Realm experts there were in the Shattered Cauldron Realm, there were only two who served the empire. One was Qu Chu, the other was Lei Hong.
Of course, there was also Zhen Yifan. It was just that these people didn't know that a Divine Overlord had such a cultivation.
Lin Muyu had once studied under Qu Chu. Just this fact alone was enough to make these Royal Guards respect him.
… …
"Let me try …"
Wei Qiu walked forward and inserted both of his hands into the snow. Holding the boar's corpse, True Qi flowed throughout his body as he growled, "Get up!"
"Rustle …"
The snow moved, but the wild boar's carcass didn't move at all.
Another Imperial Guard laughed heartily, "Wei Qiu, this wild boar is at least four to five thousand catties in weight. How can you lift it by yourself? Someone, drag the cart over. One of you will be in charge of shoveling the snow and clearing the path. We're going back to Lanyan City! "
"Yes!"
Seeing the wild boar being moved onto the cart, Lin Muyu couldn't help but smile. She brushed the snow off her shoulders and felt that this world of ice and snow was a bit more leisurely. At least she didn't have to worry about scheming against each other here, unlike staying in Lanyan City. Whether it was Zeng Yifan, Xiang Yu, Zhen Fang, Luo Xing, or the others, everyone was scheming against her and couldn't wait to kill her.
Compared to Lanyan City, Xiaoyao was much more at ease in the Dragon Seeking Forest.
However, there were Qin Yin, Tang Xiaoxi, Chu Yao, Feng Jixing, Qin Yan, Chu Huaiying, and Zhang Wei in Lanyan City, but there were no close friends in the Dragon Seeking Forest. This was probably the reason why life was not as good as eight or nine out of ten.
… …
Although the wheels of the cart were big, the mountainous terrain was too rugged. There were many places where it couldn't be dragged over, so they could only be carried by manpower. A wild boar that weighed five thousand catties was not easy to carry. Five Royal Guards and 15 Royal Guards, a total of 20 people, barely managed to lift it. Along the way, they broke countless crossbars.
The speed of the return journey wasn't fast. A four-day journey on horseback took nearly half a month. Fortunately, they were still able to make it in time for the Winter Sacrifice Ceremony.
On the sixth day after being injured, Lin Muyu's arm was back to normal. He used the Spirit Pulse Technique to look inside his body and found that the bones had completely healed and were no different from before. As a result, he was itching to carry the wild boar with the Royal Guards. Fortunately, the snow hadn't stopped yet, so the wild boar's carcass wouldn't stink. However, under Wei Chou's suggestion, they still emptied the wild boar's innards. On the way back to Lanyan City, it would probably be air-dried into a giant piece of cured meat.
When they were about 200 miles away from the capital, the snow finally stopped. The sky cleared up, and the sun shone on a group of tired people.
Lin Muyu urged his horse forward, escorting the cart behind him.
"Sir, we will reach Lanyan City in a day's time!" Wei Chou said joyfully, "It should be the first time in the history of the Eagle Nest Camp that we have completed all the patrolling missions in one go. I wonder how happy the commander will be!"
Lin Muyu smiled. "It doesn't matter how happy the commander will be. We don't want to be meritorious, but we want to make no mistakes."
"Yes, Sir is right!"
Wei Chou grinned and said, "There must be a lot of people in the Eagle Nest Camp who are laughing at us. They probably won't think that we can complete all the missions in a month."
"Yes, that's right!"
At this moment, suddenly there was a "jiejie" sound in the sky, followed by a white bird flapping its wings and landing directly on Lin Muyu's shoulder. He knew this bird. It was a messenger bird raised by Chu Yao. Its name was Little White. Because there were a few strange spots on its neck, Lin Muyu recognized it.
She lifted one of the legs of the messenger bird and took out a piece of paper from the tube. There was a line of beautiful handwriting on it: Yu, how did the mission go? When will you be back?
It was signed by Chu Yao, and her handwriting was very beautiful.
Wei Chou craned his neck to take a look and said with a smile, "It seems that there is a wonderful person in Lanyan City who is worried about you, Sir …"
Lin Muyu glanced at him. "If you don't want to get beaten up, don't talk so much."
Wei Chou smiled and walked away.
Lin Muyu wrote on the back of the paper with a burnt branch: "I will be back soon. I will see you in Lanyan City. — Lin Muyu. "
The messenger bird flapped its wings and flew away. This messenger bird had the blood of both Lin Muyu and Chu Yao. It was like the bond between the two of them, and Lin Muyu treasured it very much.
…
A day later, they arrived at Lanyan City when it was almost dusk. However, they couldn't enter the city and had to go to the Eagle Nest Barracks first.
On the mountain road, a few imperial guards were lighting a brazier and adding fuel to it. When Lin Muyu and the others appeared on the mountain road, a winged cavalry warrior immediately galloped up the mountain and shouted, "Sir Lin Muyu's troops have returned to the barracks to submit their orders!"
As soon as he shouted, a lot of people came to watch the troops that had been out for nearly a month.
Lin Muyu's bag was filled with a lot of spirit stones, so they naturally couldn't see it. However, the huge "wild boar" on the trailer at the back shocked everyone. Even the experienced imperial guards had never seen such a huge wild boar. A group of people pointed at it with joy on their faces.
After all, if Lin Muyu and the others completed their mission, they wouldn't have to run around and be tired anymore.
When they entered the barracks, the commander of the Eagle Nest Barracks, Meng Fang, came out to welcome them. He smiled and cupped his fists. "Sir Lin Muyu, you've worked hard on this trip!"
Lin Muyu said respectfully, "Fortunately, we didn't fail you. We have brought the things back. I don't know how heavy the wild boar behind us is, but it must be more than 500 kilograms."
Meng Fang's eyes were like torches. He laughed and said, "This wild boar will be at least 2,000 kilograms after its internal organs are removed. Haha, even His Majesty will be happy to see such a huge wild boar as an offering. It's just that … have you obtained the required spirit stones?"
Everyone understood that it was easy to kill a wild boar, but it wasn't so easy to hunt a spirit beast that was more than 5,000 years old. Even Meng Fang might not be able to complete the task, let alone a team consisting of Lin Muyu and the others.
Just as Lin Muyu was about to take out the spirit stones to hand over the order, someone suddenly rode up the mountain. He held a dark blue flag with a purple flower emblem in his hand and said, "Lin Muyu of the Eagle Nest Barracks, receive the order!"
Lin Muyu was stunned. She turned around and said respectfully, "I'm here."
The messenger smiled and said, "Her Highness heard that Sir Lin has returned to Lanyan City, so she specially arranged a banquet at the Phoenix Perching Hall and invited Sir Lin to attend the banquet immediately. In addition, she asked me to tell you that Princess Xi is also there."
Lin Muyu couldn't help but smile. She didn't expect Qin Yin's message to be so fast. She knew when she arrived at Lanyan City.
"Then wait until I hand over the order first …"
"Sir …" The messenger smiled and said, "Her Highness said that she invited you to Ze Tian Hall without stopping. As for handing over the order … you can wait for a while, right?"
Meng Fang hurriedly cupped his fists and said, "Of course, Her Highness's matter is the most important! Sir Lin Muyu, you can go with him first! "
"Yes, Sir!"
Lin Muyu cupped her hands in a humble manner. She pulled the reins and rushed down the mountain with the messenger.
