When night fell, the mountain wind was exceptionally cold. Li Mengye was only wearing a thin layer of clothing. She did not know what the mystic-stone grass looked like, only that it emitted a refreshing fragrance. Thus, Li Mengye used the bamboo stick to walk through the increasingly dark forest, desperately sniffing with her nose.
As the night grew darker, Li Mengye shivered from the cold. She took out a piece of almost moldy flatbread from her bosom and bit into it. Then, she used her hands to pull the huge broad leaves in the forest and drank the rainwater that fell from the leaves.
"Woo woo …"
The sound of the wind was mixed with the howling of wolves. Immediately, the girl gripped the bamboo stick tightly and looked around with a pair of large eyes full of vigilance. After a while, only a wild rabbit scurried through the forest.
"Forget it, why don't I look for it tomorrow morning …"
Li Mengye bent down and sat under a large tree, hugging her knees. She was so tired that she was about to faint, and in the blink of an eye, she fell asleep.
She did not know how long she slept for, but suddenly, her nose was filled with a refreshing fragrance. That was … the smell of roasted meat? Li Mengye immediately woke up and turned to look. There was a faint fire coming from a small valley not far away, as if there was someone there. However, Li Mengye knew that anyone who stayed in the Crimson Abyss in the middle of the night was not a good person.
At this time, her stomach growled again. That small piece of flatbread was the last of Li Mengye's food. She could not help but feel so wronged that she was about to cry. However, the fragrance in the distance was getting stronger and stronger.
Finally, the girl could not stand it anymore. She stood up and walked towards the valley. Her straw sandals were already worn out, and the soles of her feet stung when she stepped on the sharp rocks, but she could endure it. The strong hunger was driving her crazy. The moment she climbed up the small hill, she saw an extremely handsome young man in tattered clothes roasting a wild rabbit in the valley. The meat was already cooked, and the oil flowed on the surface, emitting a desirable fragrance.
"Gulp …"
Li Mengye swallowed her saliva and stared at the person in the valley from afar with her big round eyes.
However, she did not notice that behind her, two pairs of red eyes were faintly discernible in the forest, slowly approaching her. Impressively, they were two adult swift wolves, also the frequent guests of this forest at night.
"Roar …"
Li Mengye finally woke up when the wolves roared. She recognized wolves and was scared out of her wits. After a scream, she held the bamboo pole with her tender hands and pointed it at the two wolves in the distance. At the same time, her body involuntarily retreated.
"Roar …"
The wolves opened their mouths wide, mucus dripping down from their teeth. It had been a long time since they had seen such a delicious meal. One of the wolves rushed over and bit down on Li Mengye.
Kacha!
The bamboo pole broke, and the girl rolled down the hill like a ball under the impact of the Swift Wolf.
"Roar!"
Another Swift Wolf chased after her and bit Li Mengye's neck at lightning speed.
"Ah …"
The girl only had time to let out a cry of alarm, but at this moment, suddenly a figure like lightning appeared in front of her, it was the person who roasted the rabbit meat in the valley, only to see him raise his arm horizontally, a faint true energy lingering around his palm, suddenly sweeping out!
"Bang!"
Blood splattered, the wolf's head was actually smashed by him!
Lin Muyu's body suddenly charged forward, her fist flying out, smashing the other wolf into pieces. Instantly, the wolf's blood splattered all over Lin Muyu's body. Lin Muyu frowned, wiping his bloodied palm on the wolf's carcass. When he turned around, he saw the girl behind him staring at him with a pair of big bright eyes.
"So powerful …"
There was a bit of excitement in Li Mengye's eyes, she said: "Who are you, where did you come from?"
"I don't know who I am."
Lin Muyu sat down again, tore off a rabbit leg and ate it, she said: "I don't know where I come from, I live in this mountain."
"Live in the mountain?"
Li Mengye sat in front of Lin Muyu with great interest, hugging her knees, and said with burning eyes: "Immortal, you are an immortal, aren't you?! Grandpa said that a few years ago, this jungle was called the Scarlet Abyss, a god named Lin Muyu was sleeping in the Scarlet Abyss, you are him, you are that god, that immortal, right? "
Lin Muyu frowned, after entering the Forgotten Realm, he could not remember anything, let alone what a god was, so he said impatiently: "I don't know who Lin Muyu is, I am not an immortal, you should leave quickly, it is dangerous here, not suitable for you."
"Immortal, immortal!"
Li Mengye cheered and said: "I saw an immortal, immortal, can you summon the wind and rain, swallow clouds and spit out mist?"
"No!" Lin Muyu said coldly.
"Then immortal, do you know how to turn stone into gold, cast beans into soldiers?"
"No!" Lin Muyu was already very irritated.
"Immortal, immortal!" Li Mengye stared at him with her big watery eyes: "Do you know about the spiritual stone grass?"
"I don't know!"
After Lin Muyu finished speaking, he suddenly realized that in his short memory, there seemed to be traces of the spiritual stone grass, so he asked: "Why do you ask about the spiritual stone grass?"
"Grandpa's leg was broken by a bad person, I want the spiritual stone grass as medicine to treat grandpa."
"Tsk, how old are you, and you still want to treat people?" Lin Muyu smiled disdainfully.
Li Mengye did not speak anymore, her big watery eyes stared at the rabbit meat in Lin Muyu's hand, and she only swallowed her saliva.
Lin Muyu looked up and felt a little annoyed. She tore off another rabbit's hind leg and placed it in front of the girl, saying, "Eat this. After you're done, spend the night in the cave over there. Leave at daybreak tomorrow. This is not a place you should be in."
"Thank you, immortal!"
Li Mengye took the rabbit leg and thanked him happily, then began to reject it, and in the blink of an eye, she finished it.
Lin Muyu secretly complained, how could this child eat so much, so he tore off another big piece of rabbit meat and handed it to her, saying: "Here, this is for you too."
Li Mengye's face was full of joy: "Thank you, you really are an immortal. Grandpa said that the gods in the Empire are good people who pity the state of the universe, they save the suffering, and enlighten the lost."
"Really? Tsk. "
Lin Muyu sneered, although she did not know why she sneered.
…
Late at night, Lin Muyu found some hay to spread in the cave, so that Li Mengye could sleep well, while he leaned against the stone wall, searching for the power in his body, but it seemed that all the power in his body was sealed. He could feel the waves of divine power in his Yi Hai, but he could not summon a single strand of divine power, as if the power had been forgotten, and he could only use a little True Qi.
"Sigh …"
He sighed, looked at the starry sky, and muttered to himself: "Who am I? I … Why am I here? Who am I … "
"Immortal …"
Beside him, Li Mengye turned over in her sleep, hugged Lin Muyu's wrist, and said with a sweet smile: "I saw an immortal, I saw an immortal …"
"Immortal?" Lin Muyu could not help but smile lightly: "I am an immortal? What a joke … What a fool. "
The next day, at dawn, Lin Muyu roasted another wild rabbit, and after sharing it with the girl, said: "Okay, let's go our separate ways. You go find your spirit stone grass, I go find mine …"
"Immortal, what are you looking for?" The girl asked with wide eyes.
"None of your business!"
Lin Muyu had even forgotten who she was, so naturally she felt very annoyed, and said: "Don't bother me anymore!"
Li Mengye looked wronged, said: "I … I just want to help you."
"Help me?" Lin Muyu sneered: "Didn't you say that I am an immortal? Immortals are omnipotent, why would I need your help? "
"Yes, yes, immortals are omnipotent!"
Li Mengye clapped her hands and laughed: "Then immortal, can you tell me where the spirit stone grass is?"
"I don't know!"
Lin Muyu was about to break down, and pointed to the front: "You go east, I go west, and we won't disturb each other!"
"But immortal, you are pointing to the south."
"Me!"
Lin Muyu's state of mind was undoubtedly broken at this moment, and with a leap, his feet flew over the small hill like the wind, and in the blink of an eye, he was already a few miles away, shaking off the little girl behind him.
"Omnipotent immortal?" He laughed coldly: "If I am omnipotent, I will know who I am."
…
"Immortal! Immortal! "
Li Mengye's voice echoed in the forest for a while, and she finally gave up looking for the immortal, and found the broken bamboo pole. Although it was already broken, it was her only weapon. Grandpa said that there were many snakes in the mountains, and she still needed to rely on the bamboo pole to fight them!
The girl's straw sandals were completely worn out, so she simply took them off and climbed the mountain rocks barefoot. Spirit stone grass was said to be a type of herb that grew in the cracks of the rocks, and it absorbed the essence of heaven and earth to grow. Moreover, there were so many people who went into the mountains to collect herbs, so if she wanted to find the spirit stone grass, she had to go to the more dangerous mountains.
Until noon, the girl was already halfway up the mountain, in a place where there were few people.
"Huh?"
Li Mengye suddenly exclaimed, she saw a short pine tree in front of her, and there was a nearly two meters long snake coiled around it, blocking her way.
"Go away, big snake!"
She used the bamboo pole to slap it with all her might, and the snake was not poisonous, so it was actually scared and slithered away with its tail between its legs.
"Hmph!"
The girl put her hands on her waist, like a little general who had returned victorious. She walked forward, and used the bamboo pole to push aside the branches and leaves of the pine tree. Impressively, she saw a fiery red herb growing in the cracks of the rocks, and under the pine tree. At the end of the herb, there were small red beads, which were as round as a heart.
"Oh, what is this? Perhaps it's very valuable! "
The girl cheerfully uprooted the herb, wrapped it in a cloth, and tied it around her waist. She continued forward, looking for the spirit stone grass.
…
The next day, Li Mengye went down the mountain, but she did not find the spirit stone grass. She only found the fiery red herb on her waist, which was as clear as jade. The herb could not be dried for too long, or else its medicinal properties would evaporate, so she had to go back early to let someone see what kind of herb it was, and whether it was valuable.
