Early in the morning, facing the rising sun, the young man finally set off.
Actually, it couldn't be considered early in the morning. Before the sun rose, Lin Muyu and Tang Xiaoxi couldn't help but drag Bai Yin out of bed and set off. The three horses galloped away, leaving the small village in the blink of an eye.
… …
The mountainous terrain was difficult to traverse. When the warhorses reached the mountainside, they couldn't ride them anymore. They could only dismount and lead the horses forward. The road was full of thistles and thorns. Lin Muyu cut through the thistles and thorns with her Stellar Sword, causing Bai Yin's heart to ache. It was such a pity that a substandard divine weapon like the Stellar Sword was used to open a path.
It was already dusk when they finished traversing the seven mountains. When the three of them stood on the mountaintop, they couldn't help but be shocked by the scenery in front of them. The vast valley was surrounded by clouds and mist, as if it was a fairyland. Between the mountains and forests in the valley, there were simple and crude thatched huts. They were probably the residents that the village chief had mentioned.
They had to stay away from these residents.
Lin Muyu thought about the village chief's words and said, "It's getting late. Let's not enter the valley now. We'll go in tomorrow at daybreak. Let's find a place to hide from the wind and set up camp on the mountaintop."
Tang Xiaoxi nodded and said, "Okay."
Thus, they set up camp under a rock wall that blocked the wind and set up two tents. After the tents were set up, they started a fire and cooked the Suan Ni meat. Bai Yin was lucky today to be able to enjoy the Suan Ni meat together.
The meat soup was mellow and fragrant. After eating and drinking their fill, the three of them sat around the bonfire and cultivated. Lin Muyu immediately refined the spiritual energy in the Suan Ni meat in her stomach. She felt the energy in her body grow stronger and her cultivation increased a little. Tang Xiaoxi closed her beautiful eyes and the aura of flames surrounded her body. The image of the two-tailed fire fox was faintly discernible.
"Wu wu …"
Bai Yin found it rather difficult to refine the spiritual energy in the Suan Ni meat. Moreover, his face started to turn red and he looked like he was about to lose control.
"Lord Commander, I … What happened to me?" Bai Yin looked at Lin Muyu in pain, then turned to look at Tang Xiaoxi. Princess Xi, who was as beautiful as a flower, was so alluring. The confusion in Bai Yin's eyes began to turn into desire.
"Bai Yin, control your mind. Don't have any improper thoughts." Lin Muyu said calmly. Her meaning was clear. Xiao Xi is my woman. You can't touch her as you please.
Besides, Tang Xiaoxi's strength had already reached the first layer of the Saint realm, and after her transformation, she would at least leap to the level of the Holy King realm. Bai Yin was no match for her at all. Putting aside molestation, he would be lucky not to be beaten to death.
At this time, Tang Xiaoxi opened her eyes and couldn't help but laugh, "He doesn't know the Mind Cleansing Incantation. Mu, why do you have to tease him like this? Hehe, let me deal with him."
As she spoke, she formed a seal with her fingers, and a blue light condensed between her snow-white fingers. She shouted softly in the air, "Heart-cleansing Incantation!"
"Whoosh!"
The blue light rushed over and cleansed the heat on Bai Yin's body. His mind instantly became clear, and he couldn't help but blush. He said, "I … I'm ashamed!"
"It's fine. Suanni's flesh is hot by nature. I was the same back then. Refine the spiritual energy in your flesh. It will be of great benefit to your cultivation," Lin Muyu said.
"Yes, thank you, Commander!" Bai Yin cupped his fists respectfully.
Lin Muyu was secretly gratified. Although Bai Yin was a great bandit, he wasn't someone who harbored evil intentions. She could tell from his actions just now.
…
It was late at night. Tang Xiaoxi crawled into one of the tents while Bai Yin entered the other. Thus, Lin Muyu was faced with a difficult choice. If she entered Tang Xiaoxi's tent, it would be easy for Bai Yin to overthink things. If she entered Bai Yin's tent, she would overthink things. How could a straight man's dignity be blasphemed? There was no room for negotiation.
Tang Xiaoxi pulled open a corner of the tent and revealed her cute head. She smiled and asked, "You're still not coming in? Are you embarrassed?"
The tent at the side was also pulled open. Bai Yin said righteously, "Commander, it's fine. You can sleep with Princess Xi. I promise to keep my mouth shut. Besides, it's not like you haven't slept together before."
Lin Muyu rolled her eyes at him and said, "I won't sleep tonight. I'll keep watch for you. It's not too safe here, so you two should sleep. Bai Yin, wake up at the fourth watch and replace me. I only need to sleep for two hours."
"Yes, I understand."
However, Tang Xiaoxi pouted her lips and looked unwilling. After being together with Lin Muyu for so long, she had long treated Lin Muyu as the closest person to her even though she hadn't completely let go of her reserved nature. She had even abandoned her clan and made Lin Muyu her only one. This kind of dependence was self-evident.
Lin Muyu looked at Tang Xiaoxi's beautiful and delicate appearance and couldn't help but smile. She walked forward with her Stellar Sword and patted Tang Xiaoxi's head. She smiled and said, "I'll stay here with you. I won't go far."
As she spoke, she sat down with her back facing Tang Xiaoxi's tent.
Tang Xiaoxi nodded in satisfaction and left a small opening in the tent. This way, when she lay down, she could see Lin Muyu sitting outside. She was probably tired and soon fell asleep.
… …
The cold night wind whistled past. Lin Muyu sat there majestically. His body was surrounded by starlight and the stars in the sky gathered around him. It looked like a spectacle.
It had been too long since he had a breakthrough in the Stellar Formula. He had to train hard.
The only advantage of the Stellar Formula over the Seven Planets was that there were no side effects. As long as he had enough battle qi, he could use it continuously. This was also the biggest reason why Lin Muyu trained so hard.
In the night sky, starlight flickered around his armor.
Lin Muyu closed his eyes and released his spirit sense into the realm of the Stellar Formula.
… …
After an unknown amount of time, an unpleasant smell suddenly came along with the wind. It was accompanied by a hair-raising "wu wu" sound, like the cry of a zombie.
"Huh?"
Lin Muyu hurriedly opened his eyes. The bonfire had already been extinguished, but there was a figure moving between the rocks and shrubs in the south. He opened his palm and the starlight surged, illuminating nearly a hundred meters. It was a human, but not a normal human. His skin was petrified and turned into the shape of fish scales.
Suddenly, a word jumped in Lin Muyu's heart — Stonefish?
God, there really is such a disease in this world, and such a person!
The upper half of the stonefish patient's body had begun to petrify. There were two lifeless eyes on his rock-like face. He walked over step by step, his body gently swaying in the cold wind.
Stonefish patients should not touch his skin, or else they would also get stonefish!
The sun was about to rise. Lin Muyu hurriedly said, "Xiao Xi, Bai Yin, get up, we have trouble!"
Inside the tent, the two sleeping in their clothes immediately walked out. When they saw the stonefish patient in front of them, Tang Xiaoxi couldn't help but be stunned. Her mouth was wide open, and her eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Stonefish!" Bai Yin was experienced and knowledgeable. He lightly said, "Don't touch him, and don't touch his saliva or blood, or else you will also get stonefish. Commander, I'll hold him back, you guys leave quickly!"
"No."
Lin Muyu pointed to the right and said, "There are more over there."
Following the direction of his finger, as expected, a ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds and landed on the mountain. The stonefish patients swayed over, and they had already fallen into a state of unconsciousness.
"Leave the tent, get ready to leave."
Lin Muyu's voice was unquestionable. He suddenly opened his palm, and a golden ray of light flew out, turning into a gourd vine that wrapped around the stonefish patient at the front.
Bai Yin drew his sword and was ready to make a move.
"Don't kill them."
Lin Muyu pulled Tang Xiaoxi's hand and jumped down the mountain. "Just trap them, we don't have to kill them. The stonefish patients move slowly, we just need to leave."
"Yes!"
Bai Yin returned his sword to its scabbard, and with a leap, he activated Absolute Step and chased after Lin Muyu.
Lin Muyu flew away, using the gourd vines to trap the stonefish patients. At the same time, he glanced at the three horses in the distance. Fortunately, the stonefish patients did not seem to be interested in the horses, they were only interested in humans, so there was no need to worry about the horses.
For a moment, golden gourd vines rose from the mountain, trapping the stonefish patients. In the blink of an eye, there were more than ten golden gourd vines on the mountain, and each of them consumed a certain amount of their martial spirit's power. Just when the Seven Luminaries Immortal Gourd's Xuan Qi was about to be used up, a pool of water appeared in front of them. We're here!
Bai Yin was shocked, "I … I don't know how to swim!"
Lin Muyu glared at him, "You know the Turtle Breathing Technique, but you don't know how to swim?"
"This subordinate … really doesn't know how to swim!" Bai Yin was ashamed.
Tang Xiaoxi couldn't help but laugh, "Just grab the other end of my Nation Suppressing Whip, jump into the water, and use the Turtle Breathing Technique to hold your breath. Mu and I will swim with you."
"Yes!"
Lin Muyu said, "Summon your Battle Armor, otherwise your body won't be able to take it if the water is too cold."
"En."
The three of them summoned their Battle Armor at the same time, their battle qi swirling around them, and they jumped into the water. Under the cover of their Battle Armor, the water couldn't touch their skin, so Lin Muyu and Tang Xiaoxi were able to open their eyes. On the other hand, Bai Yin, who was proficient in the Turtle Breathing Technique but didn't know how to swim, was too scared to open his eyes.
Behind them, the wails of the Stoneflies came from the shore. Lin Muyu withdrew the Seven Luminaries Immortal Gourd's Xuan Qi and raised her Starlight Sword to illuminate the depths of the water.
The pool was not very deep. After 20 meters, they would reach the bottom. Sure enough, there was a stone passageway. There were even patterns carved around the passageway. It was clearly a representation of human civilization. The design here was truly ingenious.
Lin Muyu held Tang Xiaoxi's hand and swam forward, while the long tail of the nine-segmented whip tugged at Bai Yin. Bai Yin did not dare to open his eyes, so his face slammed directly into the stone wall at the top of the passageway. "Bang!" It was painful to hear.
"This idiot …" Lin Muyu was furious. This subordinate of hers was too stupid, and he had the nerve to call himself the Saint Thief!
Tang Xiaoxi giggled, and with a flick of her Nation Suppressing Whip, she gently pulled Bai Yin over.
…
They continued to swim forward, and soon they reached the bottom of the pond, only to find that they were surrounded by a different world.
