"They returned to the Seamless Space with the Moon Ship."
Li Mu said calmly, "The blood moon disappeared, and the Seamless Gate closed. No matter how strong the Moon Emperor and his army were, they couldn't stay in this world. They disappeared together." At this point, Li Mu suddenly realized a flaw in his answer, so he added, "However, due to the impact of the battle, that Moon Ship crashed in the wilderness."
Ye Ying and the other two captains all gasped when they heard that.
"Even the ship sank?"
"I'm afraid the real process of the battle is not as simple as it seems."
But seeing that Li Mu didn't want to say more, they didn't ask in detail. After all, if they got to the bottom of it.
After all, if they got to the bottom of it, Li Mu could be considered their savior.
Ye Ying stared at Li Mu with her beautiful eyes, full of curiosity.
She had already inquired about Li Mu in the East Star Village. Li Mu was indeed the fruit of the Longevity Tree, and he was born with a golden hen, which she had also seen. That made the whole thing even more bizarre. "What secret is this young man hiding on earth?"
"The military will investigate this matter. At that time, you will have to deal with some trouble," Ye Ying added.
"Trouble? You mean Lei Zang? "Li Mu asked.
At the mention of that name, Xiao Jianfei and the other scouts of the Thunderous Storm all turned pale.
That man had become a disgrace to them.
Ye Ying shook her head and said, "No, the military will verify the battle of the Moon Ship and do some investigation. At that time, you will have to go through some procedures, which will be complicated and troublesome. As for Lei Zang, humph, he is finished. If we live, he will die."
At the end, the beautiful captain's tone was as cold as a knife. Obviously, she hated Lei Zang to the extreme.
This time, the three great silver scout squads had suffered losses, more than half of them were killed. The main reason was because of Lei Zang's despicable behavior. Everyone in the three great scout squads hated him, they all wanted to skin him alive and eat his flesh.
Xiao Jianfei patted Li Mu's shoulder and said, "We'll be setting off soon to the nearest city, Flame City. The formation master was killed by that bastard Lei Zang, so the news hasn't spread yet. We need to hurry to Flame City to replenish our supplies and spread the news as soon as possible. Brother, although you're only four months old, you're strong enough. Why don't you come with us to Flame City?"
Li Mu didn't think about it. He rubbed his temples and said, "Let me think about it."
Lin Jingxin hugged his wine pot, feeling a little heartache. "What are you still thinking about? The Chosen One from the Longevity Tree is highly valued by all the military regions, especially a monster like you. You have made a great contribution this time, and I believe that all the military regions will fight over you. You should enter the town as soon as possible. Before winter arrives, staying in this small village is just a waste of time."
Ye Ying could not help but say, "Old Xiao and that Lin fellow are right."
Li Mu mulled it over carefully and found that it seemed to be true.
Although he didn't expect the military to fight to rope him in, he had planned to join the army a long time ago. So, it would be a good choice if he could achieve it earlier. With the help of the army, he could find Wang Shiyu's soul faster.
It seemed that it really didn't make sense to continue staying in East Star Village.
"Okay, I'll go with you." Li Mu nodded and agreed.
The news soon spread in the village.
Second Brother Feng and the other villagers came to see him off reluctantly.
Although they knew that Li Mu, the Chosen One, would leave in the end, they didn't expect that day to come so soon. These days, Li Mu's humility and diligence had made all the villagers fall in love with this handsome boy.
"Brother Mu, I will definitely practice the Cultivation Method you taught me, and then go to the army to find you." Xiao Xingyan rushed over and hugged Li Mu, saying with tears in her eyes.
Li Mu touched her forehead and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you in the army."
"Brother Mu, on behalf of everyone, I thank you." The old village chief also came over. With gratitude on his old face, he said, "You bring good luck to East Star Village. If it weren't for you, the longevity tree might not have lasted for a few years, and many people in the village would have starved to death in this winter." The old village chief took out an oval amulet, which had a wooden texture and was not exquisitely polished. He said, "This is one of the fragments of the shell of the gourd when you were born. I made it an amulet and prepared to give it to you after the winter. Since you decided to leave in advance, I'll give you this amulet in advance. I can see that you are not an ordinary person, but a divine dragon destined to soar in the sky. It's good for you to leave East Star Village earlier. However, according to the saying of this world, East Star Village is also your birthplace, your hometown. We, the rough villagers, are your relatives in this world. If you have time in the future, take it back and have a look. Everyone will miss you."
Li Mu took the amulet and was moved.
The old village chief's words suddenly poked the softest part of Li Mu's heart.
"Yes, seriously speaking, East Star Village is my hometown in this world."
Looking at the villagers' reluctant faces, Li Mu put the amulet around his neck as if it was a treasure and said, "Don't worry, everyone. I will go home often."
The villagers cheered.
In the end, after the three squads of silver scouts finished their preparations, Li Mu left East Star Village with them.
"Brother Mu, go home often." Xiao Xingyan stood at the entrance of the village and kept waving at him.
…
…
"Is what you said true?"
In Shu City, the military headquarters of Marquis Wu.
In a heavily guarded white tower.
"Master, I saw it clearly. It's really Li Mu. But he's already dead. Without the Transmitting Formation, he, Ye Ying, Xiao Jianfei, Lin Jingxin, and the others will all die in the hands of the Evil Energy Moon Emperor. None of them can escape. Those beasts and monsters will devour their corpses and leave no clues."
In the hall at the top of the white tower, Lei Zang knelt on the ground and said respectfully.
In the center of the hall, sitting high on the magic altar was a figure shrouded in purple thunder liquid.
"Do you know what is the most correct thing you did this time?" The man's voice was cold and indifferent, with a kind of majesty that dominated everything.
"I'm stupid. Master, please enlighten me."
Lei Zang almost prostrated himself on the ground.
"You didn't hide the dirty things you did from me. This is the most correct choice you made." The man said, "Don't think that everything will be all right with the death of Li Mu and the others. I remember you just said that Li Mu came to East Star Village. These villagers may know some inside information … There are some things that you can't do if you don't do them."
Lei Zang was stunned for a moment and then understood. He said, "I … got it."
Even though Lei Zang was cruel and merciless, the meaning of the man's words still made him shudder.
This was what it meant to be ruthless.
"Also, don't take everything for granted. What happened after the formation was closed is just your speculation. What if Li Mu, Ye Ying and the others didn't die in the hands of the Moon Emperor?" The man in the purple thunder liquid said again, "Xiao Jianfei is just a small figure, nothing to worry about. But the Ye family and the Lin family have deep roots in the Marquis District. They are not to be trifled with. You could have tricked anyone, but you had to trick them. These two families will not easily believe your words. They will investigate the truth. You immediately send someone … No, you go to the place where the Moon Ship appeared and verify it again. Don't make any mistakes."
Lei Zang quickly nodded and said, "I understand."
After a pause, he raised his head and smiled flatteringly. He said, "Master, there are a total of 80 boxes of Moon Gems this time. According to the rules, 64 boxes have been handed over to the Marquis County. The remaining 16 boxes will be sent to the White Tower later."
"Good. You did well. Go." The man in the thunder liquid said indifferently.
…
…
A pungent stench of blood came from the front.
Li Mu and the others climbed over a hill and saw an incomparably messy stone forest. Crushed rocks had collapsed. In the incomparably messy field, a giant red scorpion laid stiffly in the rubble.
It was the Fire Scorpion Beast King that appeared near the Moon Ship last night.
It was already dead.
On its shell that was as hard as fine iron, there were horseshoe-shaped holes. Orange-yellow liquid flowed out. The scorpion's pincers and stinger were already broken. The weapon it was most proud of was destroyed. It was very obvious that it encountered a strong enemy. After its resistance was futile, it was killed here.
"Look, there's still that silver snake." A scout climbed over a piece of rubble and cried out in surprise.
Li Mu and the others rushed over, only to see that the Silver Snake Beast King, which had also appeared near the Moon Ship last night, had also died in the rubble. The wing armor at the seven-inch position was shattered into pieces, and a scorpion pincer was stuck in the middle of its body, almost cutting it in half!
"It fought with the giant scorpion and perished together?" Xiao Jianfei said.
Ye Ying shook his head. "No, there should be another one."
At this time, another scout's voice came from the side. "Captain, there's a situation here. You should come and take a look."
Li Mu and the others went over and saw the third beast king that appeared last night. That black single-horned steed was lying behind a pile of rubble, on the verge of death. Its body that was as black as ink was like brocade was covered with wounds of all sizes. Dark red blood seeped out. Most of the wounds had already scabbed, and there were a few that were the most serious. Blood flowed like a fountain and could not be stopped …
A broken section of the giant scorpion's stinger was stuck in its neck. The blood that flowed out of this wound had a strange emerald green color and flowed down.
It was the stinger of the Fire Scorpion Beast King.
Deadly poison.
Three great beast kings fighting, two dead and one heavily injured?
Seeing Li Mu and the others appear, the black single-horned steed struggled to stand up. However, after several attempts, it failed. It snorted and let out a low roar. Its eyes were filled with hostility as it stared sharply at the approaching humans.
"This beast is quite stubborn. However, it seems like it can still be saved?" Lin Jingxin said.
