"Heavenly Tome Forest of Monoliths?"
Qin Yin blinked her large, sparkling eyes that were like black gems. She shook her head and said, "I don't know what kind of place that is. My brother and I came here to hunt a fierce beast called the 'Hanging Eye Beast' and use its bones as medicine to treat my father's illness. Is there something you need, Young Master?"
Lin Muyu was dumbstruck. Qin Yin's words were as pure as ever, and her starry eyes were filled with sincerity. This girl was practically a natural-born actor. With this kind of acting, if she were to return to Earth, she would become famous without any packaging. Then, what would China's film scene have to do with FBB and LBB!
The noble youth smiled and cupped his hands. "The White Leaves Forest is filled with danger. Since that's the case, why don't we travel together? At least we can look after each other. What does Young Lady think?"
Qin Yin squinted her beautiful eyes. "But I don't even know you."
"First time unfamiliar, second time familiar." The noble youth respectfully said, "This one is called Lu You, the son of the governor of the Swift White Province's High Deer County, Lu Zhuang. This time, under the orders of my lord father, we have gathered a group of heroes to come to the White Leaves Forest in search of a treasured land isolated from the rest of the world — the Heavenly Tome Forest of Monoliths. The group of friends behind me are mostly people I brought from High Deer County, and there are also some I made on the road. If the two of you don't mind, how about we travel together?"
Qin Yin looked at Lin Muyu with an inquiring gaze.
Lin Muyu muttered to herself, then said, "Young Master Lu You, what kind of place is this Heavenly Tome Forest of Monoliths you speak of? Do you know its specific location?"
"I know the location, but I'm not very sure," Lu You said.
At this moment, a burly man behind Lu You walked forward with a battle-axe in his hand. He laughed and said, "Young Master, there's no need to speak so much with these two hunters. Our group is made up of cultivators. Even if they want to join us, they still have to have the ability!"
"Is that so?"
Lin Muyu could not help but smile. "If I want to join this group, what kind of test do I have to accept?"
"Just eat three of my axes and not die." The burly man laughed.
Lin Muyu wrinkled her eyebrows and said, "Fine, I'll take three of your axes. Come."
Lu You hurriedly said, "Young Master, don't be rash. This Zhang Laosi's axe is very powerful. It wouldn't be good if there's an accident."
It seemed that this Lu You was a kind and generous person. Lin Muyu secretly praised him, but she still took out her Stellar Sword and jumped off the horse. Holding the sword in front of her, she smiled and said, "Zhang Laosi, come, let me see how strong your three axes are."
"Hey!"
A trace of killing intent flashed in Zhang Laosi's eyes as he said with a smile, "You're courting death. If I cleave you in half with my axe, your beautiful sister will be mine."
Qin Yin couldn't help but smile. She gracefully stood beside Lin Muyu and said, "If you can really defeat him, I'll be your concubine. If you can't defeat him, you'll have to call me grandaunt whenever you see me in the future. How about it? "
"Okay!"
Zhang Laosi's face was full of fierceness. He raised his battle axe and layers of frost qi surrounded the axe. His body was even plated with layers of qi armor. He was actually a Battle Saint at the third level of the Earth Realm. I really couldn't tell!
Lin Muyu's aura sank, and the image of the Vajra Arhat appeared in her Sea of Energy. It was the power of the fourth level of the Vajra Body Protection. She raised her sword with one hand and used the scabbard to block Zhang Laosi's attack.
"Bang!"
With a single strike, a wave of frost swept out, and a few of the cultivators in front were pushed back by the impact. Lin Muyu, on the other hand, stood there motionlessly, holding her undamaged longsword.
"Rustle, rustle, rustle …"
Zhang Laosi, on the other hand, was pushed back a few steps on the snowy ground. His face was full of suspicion. That brat clearly didn't even use his true qi, so why was there such a strong rebound force coming from his sword?
"How is this possible?"
Zhang Laosi's face was full of doubt. He regained his composure and roared with even more true qi. He rushed forward on the snowy ground and roared, "Take this daddy's Spiral Slash! Die!"
The battle axe spun a few times and slashed at Lin Muyu's scabbard.
Lin Muyu secretly laughed. This blockhead wasn't stupid when he was killing people. He even knew to use the spiral force to increase the impact of the battle axe. Unfortunately, he chose the wrong opponent. Just as the battle axe was about to touch the scabbard, Lin Muyu's wrist turned skillfully. The sword dragged the opponent's battle axe with a strong suction force and spun it in the air!
"Bang!"
Zhang Laosi's battle axe directly hit the ground, causing mud and snow to fly. A strange suction force came from the battle axe, causing him to be unable to stop his momentum at all. He fell to the ground, his forehead hitting the handle of the battle axe, and blood flowed out.
Lin Muyu still held the long sword in her hand and stood in the same place. She smiled and said, "How is it? Do you want a third strike?"
Zhang Laosi scrambled to his feet and looked at Lin Muyu suspiciously. He couldn't tell how strong this person was, so he shook his head and said, "I'm not competing, I'm not competing anymore. If you want to join our team, then join us!"
"Heh …" Lin Muyu snickered.
Lu You looked as if he had obtained a treasure. He said, "I didn't expect this Young Master to have such a secret art. This is great. Welcome to our team. May I know your and your sister's names?"
Lin Muyu said, "My name is Lin Yan. My sister is Lin Yin."
"Oh, Young Master Lin, welcome to our team. Shall we set off to the depths of the White Leaves Forest?"
"Alright!"
…
With the addition of Lin Muyu and Qin Yin, the team seemed to have gained some confidence. Lu You was even more polite to Lin Muyu. He said, "I saw Young Master Lin Yan's moves just now. You've really reached the perfect state of cultivation. It's admirable."
"No, it's just a small trick."
"If Young Master Lin Yan doesn't mind, when we return to Shanglu County, I will recommend you to my father and let you be the captain of the city patrol. What do you think?" Lu You seemed to really want to rope in Lin Muyu.
Lin Muyu shook her head. "No, I'm already a Guard of the Li Residence."
"Which Li Residence?"
"Young Master Li Zuo's mansion."
"Ah?" Lu You was shocked. "Could it be the Guard of the Li Residence in black who defeated Huan of Northern Qi?"
Lin Muyu was also shocked. "The news spread so fast?"
Lu You nodded. "Everyone in the Swift White Province knows of this rumor. A Guard of the Li Residence in black defeated Huan of Northern Qi, who had a low-grade Earthly Scroll. He scared the mercenary leader Liu Zan to death with just his aura. I didn't expect to meet you here. You … Young Master, didn't you say you're a hunter?"
"Ah?" Lin Muyu quickly said, "Yes, my family is poor. I'm a hunter and a guard at the same time."
"I see." Lu You praised. "Filial piety is the most important of all virtues. Young Master Lin Yan has hidden his abilities well. You're a good example for us to learn from."
Qin Yin tried her best to hold back her laughter. She felt that the two of them were shameless. One of them was trying his best to flatter her, while the other was trying his best to talk nonsense.
Zhang Lao Si, on the other hand, carried his battle axe and angrily urged his horse to follow behind. He muttered to the manservants beside him, "He's just a wild brat who won by trickery. I really don't know why Young Master thinks so highly of him. Hmph, when we really meet a spirit beast later, I want to see how this brat's mask will be exposed."
The servants all agreed. "Yes, let's see if he's really capable and yet he's still bragging!"
…
Not far ahead, the snow on the ground lessened. Another ten kilometers, sparse greenery appeared around them. There were leaves on the trees, and fruits appeared in the bushes. Another ten kilometers, the surroundings were completely in the mood of spring. It didn't look like it was half winter at all.
"It's winter, but it's warm and green here. It's really strange." Lu You gently placed his palm on the sword at his waist. "Everyone, be alert. Be careful!"
"Yes, Young Master!"
Lin Muyu and Qin Yin looked at each other. Logically speaking, this was not a valley and there was no terrain to protect them. There should not be such a strange phenomenon happening here at all. There was only one explanation, the power of the heavens and the earth! Yes, Lin Muyu had used the Heavenly Tome of Life, so she could understand why such a strange phenomenon had occurred.
The forest of Heavenly Tome Monoliths was definitely in this forest!
Moreover, to be able to make a forest of one hundred li show signs of life, the might of this Heavenly Tome of Life was just too shocking!
Suddenly, Lin Muyu's spiritual sense detected a tyrannical Qi. She immediately creased her brow and said, "Xiao Yin, be careful. It seems like something is watching us."
"Mm." Qin Yin obediently nodded and urged her horse closer to Lin Muyu.
Lu You stared blankly. "What's watching us?"
"I don't know either. In any case, it's pretty strong."
"......"
Just then, a hissing sound came from the nearby underbrush. The grass seemed to have collided with something and slowly tilted and twisted. In the next moment, a huge pitch-black snake suddenly raised its head from the underbrush. It opened its mouth and bit one of the Lu Residence's guards off his warhorse. Venomous green fangs spurted out, and the guard fell to the ground, trembling as he lost his life.
"Careful, it's a venomous snake!" Lu You hurriedly pulled out his longsword.
Zhang Laosi also raised his battle axe and charged over, yelling, "It's a Giant Viper! Heavens, why isn't a venomous snake hibernating in this kind of weather? Get me a bow and arrow and kill it!"
The Giant Viper was a snake-type spirit beast. However, the Giant Viper in front of them had three golden patterns on its forehead. It was a 3,000-year-old spirit beast. After biting three guards to death in an aggressive manner, the Giant Viper was attacked by a group of guards from the Lu Residence with bows and arrows. Accompanied by whooshing sounds, the arrows bounced off the Giant Viper's body, but they could not penetrate it at all.
"Die!"
Zhang Laosi's cultivation was the highest. With a roar, he jumped down from his warhorse and smashed his axe into the Giant Viper's head. Immediately, its scales cracked and blood sprayed out. However, it was only a heavy injury, not a fatal one. The Giant Viper turned its head and bit Zhang Laosi's thigh.
"Ah …"
A miserable howl, like that of a pig being slaughtered, came from the forest.
