"You're really following me?! Aren't these two guys staring at me all day long?"

Xu Mu was really speechless.

Of course, it's also possible that he followed me before, but he didn't have fire perception at the time and didn't know.

Moreover, he only went to Fangshi in the past, and it would be useless for the other party to follow him.

No matter how brave they are, they don't dare to take action in the market.

This time he walked towards Baihe Forest, and the two of them probably thought they had an opportunity, so they followed him.

"Since we're here! It's better to deal with it once and for all!"

Xu Mu had the idea of ​​dealing with the two of them, and deliberately slowed down his pace so that the two of them could easily keep up.

Passing through the dirty streets, the buildings on both sides became fewer and fewer and more dilapidated, until he came to the abandoned house where he had escaped last time, and beyond that he exited the shanty town.

From time to time, people hurried past him on the road. They were all low-level monks who went to Baihe Forest to hunt or gather.

Xu Mu walked out of the shanty, stood at the junction, and looked toward the jungle in the distance.

The withered jungle spreads from a short distance to the end of the sky.

Under the sun, a white river flows from the direction of Fangshi, through a large jungle, and after a circle, it turns back towards Baishifang City and flows into the endless sky.

In the somewhat white sky, from time to time, monks would control flying magic weapons, bringing out long tail flames and flying deep into the mountains and forests. Most of them were monks in the late stages of Qi training.

"I don't know when I can use the flying magic weapon?"

With his cultivation at the fourth level of Qi training, he can actually control the magic weapon to fly at low altitude.

Again--

No money!

Putting aside these chaotic thoughts, Xu Mu walked towards the mountain forest.

Boom boom!

At this moment, a huge shadow in the sky enveloped him.

Xu Mu instinctively looked up and saw a giant ship two hundred meters long and fifty meters wide flying over his head, flying towards the southwest.

"The southwest doesn't seem to be the territory of the Qinghe Sword Sect? Is it going to another sect? This is rare!"

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but Xu Mu ignored them.

That kind of thing was too far away for him, and it was useless to even think about it.

As he got closer and closer to the jungle, Xu Mu thought of those years when he traveled back in time and wanted to venture into the jungle, thinking that he would encounter some great opportunity in his dream and become famous and reach the pinnacle of his life.

result,

"Almost killed me!"

Xu Mu smiled bitterly in his heart.

It was precisely after those few lessons that he settled down to learn alchemy, and even thought about marrying a wife and having children.

Of course, as long as you don't cross the Baisha River and go deep into the jungle, the danger is not that great.

This is the reason why couples like Jia An and his wife can make a living in Baihe Forest with only the initial stage of Qi training.

It is about to enter deep winter. In order to save wood for the winter, many monks are using magic to cut down trees on the outskirts of the jungle, which seems to be particularly lively.

Among them, the most commonly used one is wind blade technique.

If Xu Mu hadn't been supported by alchemy, he would probably be one of them now.

Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that the temperature had dropped a lot recently, but he didn't feel much cold.

He was always wearing underwear and a large, old robe.

If we look at the monks who cut trees, most of them wear a layer of cotton clothing.

"I don't know if it's because of my breakthrough in cultivation or because my fire-bending skills have become extraordinary!"

Xu Mu guessed that the latter reason was bigger.

He has never heard that in the middle stage of Qi training, one can be immune to cold and heat, and even in the later stage, one can at least be resistant to freezing.

"This is an unexpected surprise! But for the sake of Yingying and Ling'er, I still need to find an opportunity to store some wood for the winter!"

It would be embarrassing if you don’t have enough money to buy it when the time comes.

Just in case, you still need to be prepared.

Without stopping at the entrance, Xu Mu followed a path trodden by others and walked into the jungle. His figure quickly disappeared among the withered yellow leaves.

The figures of Li Wen and Li Wu also followed closely.

Some monks noticed it, but no one came forward to remind them.

Some monks who knew Li Wen and Li Wu showed pity and lamented that Xu Mu was really unlucky to be targeted by these two people.

…

As soon as he entered, Xu Mu encountered many practitioners collecting resources.

Pine cones, fungi, bamboo shoots, mountain treasures, etc. In order to survive the long winter, the monks at the bottom are trying their best to collect any useful resources.

Facing Xu Mu who was alone, everyone was very careful. As long as Xu Mu came even slightly closer, they would look on guard.

These monks who collect resources all work in groups, with teams of as many as twenty or thirty people and as few as five or six people. They cooperate with each other, some are on guard and some are collecting.

"This is the life of ordinary casual cultivators!"

Xu Mu sighed.

There are few people like him who enter the forest alone.

Xu Mu did not say hello to the other party, smiled kindly, walked around, and continued to move deeper.

The further you go inside, the fewer monks are collecting resources. At the same time, their cultivation level is getting higher and higher, and their experience seems to be richer.

When encountering these teams, Xu Mu always stayed away from them.

Who knows if these people have any bad intentions?

In this rule-free jungle, anyone can transform from a harmless sheep into a man-eating wolf in an instant.

As Xu Mu walked, he looked around for the imaginary monsters, and the result was naturally——

Not a hair was found.

"I think things are too simple!"

Xu Mu laughed at himself.

The outskirts of Baihe Forest have long been trampled by monks, so the chances of monsters existing are low. Now that it's winter, most of the monsters have probably gone into hibernation, so there are even fewer monsters.

If you want to find the monster, you probably have to cross the Baisha River and go into the depths!

"forget it!"

He just wanted to test his strength, not to seek death!

If you encounter a high-level monster, it will be tragic.

It is often rumored that a certain person died deep in the woods during the late stage of Qi training.

And those people usually act in teams, unlike him, who works alone.

He shot out a fire bomb with a flick of his finger, and with a bang, he killed a brown bird sleeping on a branch and put it into his storage bag.

Now that you have gone out for a trip, you must not come back empty-handed.

Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly felt two breaths approaching from behind him.

"You're really looking for death!"

Xu Mu showed a sneer on his lips, blessed himself with an invisibility technique, and disappeared into the dense forest out of thin air.

Whizzing!

A few breaths passed, and the figures of Li Wen and Li Wu shot out from the forest and landed at the place where Xu Mu disappeared.

"What's going on? You were still here just now?"

Li Wu's voice was hoarse and he looked around with strange pupils.

"Is this guy wearing an invisibility charm? He's really rich!"

Li Wen knelt down and frowned to check the footprints left by Xu Mu.

"Brother, why don't you use the breath-seeking talisman to search for it? It's hard to catch this opportunity, but you might just let it go!" Li Wudao said.

They had been eyeing it for several months before they came across such an opportunity.

As for why he kept staring at Xu Mu, it was naturally because he was rich.

When they followed Xu Mu a few times before, they had seen Xu Mu enter the Song Family Pharmacy and spend money lavishly after coming out. They immediately realized that Xu Mu's alchemy skills were very unusual and he was definitely a fat and oily person.

sheep.
