But unexpectedly, Hou Jiuming not only did not feel uncomfortable or surprised, but there was a faint surprise in his eyes?
"What's happening here?"
The old man didn't understand the reason and it was inconvenient to pursue it, so he continued to preach.
"I don't know what happened to that man, but he died in the mountains. Although Jiang'er took his things, he also helped him collect his bones to prevent them from being exposed in the wilderness."
"Then do you know where that place is?"
"I know, the cliff of Hutou Mountain in the Luoyue Mountains is low!" Because he was deeply impressed by this incident, the old man clearly remembered the specific location.
…………
After coming out of Baowa's house, Hou Jiuming returned to the medicine shop with a worried look on his face.
The news I heard this time can be described as mixed.
Fortunately, the body buried by Baowa's father must be that of an immortal cultivator.
Worryingly, Hutou Mountain is located too far into the mountains.
There are great risks.
For example, Huwa's father went to collect medicine and then never returned.
Not only that, many herbal farmers who often go there to collect herbs have also disappeared.
It is said that someone saw a big snake as big as a water tank there.
Such a big snake is definitely not an ordinary python.
Therefore, if you want to go find the corpse of the immortal cultivator, you must find a way to deal with this big snake.
With his current abilities and the flying sword he just obtained, it would be easy to deal with a human who knows martial arts.
But the big snake with a demonic face is a little unsure.
After all, I have never seen it, and I don't know its true strength, so there is no way to compare it.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Hou Jiuming decided to improve his strength with peace of mind.
Waiting for Qi training to break through to the third level, I'm making plans.
At that time, there was the art of lightening one's body to escape, and there were magic weapons to attack.
Coupled with the deep magic power of the third level of Qi training, you have to be more confident in dealing with it.
After making the decision, Hou Jiuming immediately made arrangements.
The business of the medicine shop is handled by Zhu Zhu, and medical treatment is limited to the morning every day. During the rest of the time, he practices Qi in the afternoon and evening, and digests the abundant blood Qi brought by taking drugs in the morning.
It had already reached the peak of the second level, but with enough Wuling Pills, it quickly broke through to the third level of Qi training.
At the moment of breakthrough, Hou Jiuming felt that the mana in his body was more than three times more than when he was on the second level.
At the second level of Qi training, using the magic sword with all your strength can last for half an hour.
Now, even for an hour, I can still do it with ease.
Not only does it last longer, but it is also much more powerful.
In addition, he also specially copied an archery skill and directly deduced it to the level of proficiency.
It can be done to the point where you can hit every target within three hundred meters, and you can shoot wherever you want.
It can still be shot beyond 300 meters, but the power has begun to decrease.
The longer the distance, the more the power decreases.
…………
Time passed quickly, and a month later, Hou Jiuming, who was ready for everything, set out from Luoyue Town fully armed.
Luoyue Town is located on the edge of Luoyue Mountains.
Therefore, less than half an hour after setting off, we arrived in front of an endless stretch of rolling mountains.
All I saw was green.
It's like the ground is covered with a carpet, giving people a feeling of open-mindedness at first glance.
After checking his belongings and confirming that he had all the weapons and necessary survival items, he took out a rough hand-drawn map and set foot into the mountains.
This map was hand-drawn by Hou Jiuming after consulting with several experienced herbalists and hunters.
If someone else gets it in their hands, they are guaranteed to understand nothing.
It was my first time to enter this kind of forest, which I knew was very dangerous.
Hou Jiuming was naturally cautious. As soon as he entered, he drew out a long knife and the small sword, a magic weapon, was also within reach.
Follow the path trodden by herb farmers and hunters, and proceed carefully all the way deep.
It was okay at the beginning. Although there were many morning exercises on the road, it was at least a road.
Occasionally you can see some pheasants and hares,
But after he walked for a long time, the traces of the hunters' trampling disappeared.
The surrounding area turned into a primeval forest, full of tall trees that blocked the sky and sun, and dense shrubs that were waist high.
If you just enjoy the scenery, this is definitely the best place, as everything is green as far as the eye can see.
But it’s very unfriendly for those on the road.
The branches of the shrubs are criss-crossed, and vines are wrapped around them.
If you want to pass, you have to cut it open with great effort.
Otherwise, you will get entangled in the vines while walking.
Therefore, after suffering a lot, Hou Jiuming could only hold a long knife in his hand and open his own path.
As for using the light body technique to rush on the road, it is too extravagant.
Although the third level of mana is very strong for him.
But in this dangerous forest, you must keep your magic power strong.
Otherwise, if you encounter danger and your mana is used up because of the rush, that's nonsense.
Relying on his acquired martial arts skills and abundant physical strength, Hou Jiuming didn't stop at all on the first day. He hurried on until dark before stopping to rest and prepare to find a place to spend the night.
…………
In front of the vast cave, a man and a bear were facing each other.
In the past, when this happened, bears would have pounced on humans and tore them into pieces.
But now, the black bear bared its teeth, stood upright, and roared angrily, but did not dare to step forward, as if it was very afraid of the humans in front of it.
At this time, the human seemed to have lost his patience and raised his hand.
A green light shot quickly towards the black bear.
"Roar!"
The warning signs jumping wildly in his mind made the black bear roll to the side without thinking.
But the speed of the green light was too fast. As soon as the black bear made a move, he felt a pain in his shoulder and blood spattered out.
The severe pain not only did not make the black bear angry, but instead, as if frightened, it ran in the opposite direction of the human with a "Ouch~~" sound.
And this human being is none other than Hou Jiuming.
The reason why I got into sex with the black bear was because of the cave next to it.
One person and one bear fell in love with this place at the same time.
So, there was the initial confrontation.
Seeing the black bear running faster and faster, Hou Jiuming did not pursue it.
Judging from the traces of the cave, this was originally a black bear's den.
It's a bit unjustifiable to rob someone's nest and then kill them.
Therefore, at first he just wanted to scare the black bear away and had no intention of killing him.
Otherwise, the sword shot just now would not have been aimed at the shoulder, but at the throat.
After the black bears completely disappeared, Hou Jiuming began to tidy up the cave.
I saw that the cave was narrow on the outside and wide on the inside, about 100 square meters. There were no traces of excavation on the surface of the cave wall, so it should have been formed naturally.
Above the ground, there is a thick layer of fallen leaves.
Judging from the shape on it, it was definitely left by a black bear.
He took out the fire, lit it, and walked out of the cave.
This kind of cave in the wild where wild beasts live must be cleaned up.
Otherwise, not to mention the smell, the parasites inside will give people a headache.
Especially blood-sucking fleas.
This thing is the most disgusting thing.
Thick smoke billowed out from the cave, and within a short time, a fire broke out inside.
