In the dark woods, there is occasional movement, and unknown animals are wandering around. These are monsters without spiritual power, and they simply do not dare to approach immortal cultivators like Zhang Mu.
However, these sounds also made Liu Li, who was watching the night, very depressed. Who made that black shadow appear so strangely?
It would be wrong for an unknown thing in this bone-corroding forest where monsters and beasts are rampant not to arouse suspicion.
"Brother Sun, what do you think that black shadow could be?" Jiang Shaojin asked.
"I don't dare to be sure about this. After all, I haven't seen it before, but I can be sure that if you can use this thing for your own use, I believe it will be a rare helper." Sun Xiao looked at Zhang Mu who was sleeping soundly.
Smiled.
"Haha, why do you care so much? Now that we have collected the monster beasts in the advanced stage of foundation building, and the first level of testing is also completed, why are we worried about that?" Jiang Shaolin said with a smile.
Jiang Shaojin and others were speechless, they really had no choice but to deal with him.
However, people like Jiang Shaolin do live a free and unrestrained life, think broadly about everything, and don't try to get into trouble, so they have a good temperament.
For those who cultivate immortality, their character of mind also determines a lot of their success rates, but only a few of them are open-minded enough.
A few people sat around the campfire, talking and laughing. Time seemed to fly by quickly, and soon it was already midnight.
Zhang Mu moved, rubbed his eyes, stretched, leaned on the tree trunk, and said with a smile: "You guys have a rest, it's my turn."
"Second brother, you are so punctual, I love you so much. Haha..." Jiang Shaolin quickly lay down, and the sound of snoring that came not long after was really good enough.
Seeing that Liu Li and others were asleep, Zhang Mu didn't shout out to anyone else, intending to let them rest more, since his vigil was enough.
But there were more people, and there were still people talking, and he couldn't feel the passage of time. Sitting here alone, with nothing to do, Zhang Mu began to play with the water polo in his hands.
This is also when he has nothing to do, and he likes to spend time in this way. It can not only increase his proficiency in spells, but also allow his mind to stay on the perfect point.
Looking at the water polo, Zhang Mu turned into the shape of a puppy for a while, then a bunny for a while, and suddenly, it stopped in one shape.
Looking at the familiar appearance, Zhang Mu felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart.
He slowly stretched out his other hand, wanting to touch the water ball that now looked like Xi'er, but as soon as he touched it, it turned into water stains and scattered all over the floor.
All this is like a bubble.
"Hey, life is like a dream, when will it end?" He leaned on the tree trunk and looked at the dark night around him, full of sadness.
At this moment, a very weak voice came over, which immediately attracted Zhang Mu's attention.
"Huh?" Zhang Mu quickly stood up and looked around, trying to see what was making the sound.
I thought it was the sound made by some small animal, but I felt something was wrong. If it were a small animal running here, the sound should be chaotic, but what I heard just now was a very slight sound, as if someone was walking.
the sound of.
Although there would be other monks here, Zhang Mu still felt that something was wrong. After all, he encountered a strange black shadow as soon as he entered the Bone Erosion Forest, so he did not dare to take it lightly.
A sound of wind quickly caught Zhang Mu's attention.
"It's interesting. I couldn't find you, but you came here on your own." Zhang Mu looked at a slightly turbulent patch of grass and whispered to himself.
Zhang Mu did not take action immediately, but pretended that nothing happened and leaned quietly on the tree trunk behind him. He had gathered a trace of mana in his hand without leaving any trace, and was waiting to take action.
When he saw another movement in the grass, Zhang Mu threw the fireball in his hand at an astonishing speed.
This fireball was condensed casually and was not very powerful. However, Zhang Mu did not want to kill with the fireball, but to see clearly the opponent's secrets.
When the fireball extinguished, a smile appeared on Zhang Mu's lips, he quickly formed seals with his hands, and murmured something in his mouth, while mana fluctuations spread around.
With the slight fluctuation of mana, several people who were resting quickly woke up.
For immortal cultivators who have reached the foundation-building stage, they no longer need to sleep to restore their physical strength. They will have weak spiritual consciousness wandering around. If there is any movement, they will wake up to avoid being poisoned by others.
"What's wrong?"
Sun Xiao and the others stood up one by one, wondering what happened.
However, when they got up, the countless wind blades formed by Zhang Mu had already been sacrificed.
At this time, I saw a black shadow flashing not far in front of the wind blade. However, because in the dark night, the black shadow had a great advantage, and it could be said that it completely blended into the night.
If you want to find it, even if you rely on the tempered eyes of an immortal cultivator, it is not that easy to find.
The speed of the wind blades was actually fast enough, but the black shadow moved even faster and managed to dodge these wind blades without any damage and galloped towards the deep forest.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Mu was willing to let it go. He really wanted to get this shadow. After all, the love for new things is the underlying personality of everyone, and Zhang Mu was no exception.
"Sun Xiao, you follow closely, I'll go first." After saying this, Zhang Mu rushed out and disappeared into the night after a while.
Sun Xiao and others didn't dare to hesitate. They waved their sleeves to extinguish the bonfire and followed closely.
It's a pity that I thought I had the right to pursue him, and no matter how powerful the black shadow was, I couldn't escape, but in the end, no trace of the black shadow was found.
Although there was no trace of the black shadow, Zhang Mu found a secret place, a dark cave entrance, and he didn't know what was inside.
"Is this the residence of the shadow?" Although I thought so, it was really difficult to make a decision without going in and taking a look.
Finally, Zhang Mu decided to go in and take a look. Maybe there was something unexpected inside?
It's just that I'm alone now, so it's a bit risky to go in. After all, I don't know if the black shadow is inside. If it is, I believe it won't be that safe inside. It would be better to have more people, which will be helpful.
It took about half a cup of tea to see Sun Xiao and others chasing after them.
"Muzi, how are you?" Sun Xiao asked after standing still.
"We're in." Zhang Mu pointed at the entrance of the cave and said.
Looking in the direction Zhang Mu was taking, everyone began to fantasize about the situation inside the cave.
"Do you want to go in and have a look?" Sun Xiao asked.
Zhang Mu nodded and explained the already decided formation, and everyone unanimously approved it.
After a while, Zhang Mu, who was in the lead, launched a huge fireball. He controlled the position one meter in front and could clearly see the situation more than ten meters in front. Even if there was something wrong, he could detect it immediately and take defense.
.
Following closely behind were Jiang Shaojin and Jiang Shaolin. One of them had strong attacks, the other could heal injuries quickly, and could help immediately.
The one at the back is naturally the third son named Jiang, and the one at the back is naturally Sun Xiao.
In this way, if a few people keep some distance, even if there is an unexpected situation, the people behind can make the choice to step forward to help or escape, without causing panic.
Not long after, I saw the end ahead, with a passage to the left and a passage to the right.
Zhang Mu squatted down and looked at the ground with the help of the firelight. When he saw that some dust had separated from the hole on the left, and there was already a thick layer of ashes on the right, it was obvious that the passage on the left was often used by people.
Walking will shake off the dust.
But if you think about it carefully, the black shadow may also be incorporeal. It will not leave any footprints when walking, but it will make the wind sound, so the dust is caused by his walking.
The one on the right has naturally not been around for a long time.
Seeing this situation, Jiang Shaojin said: "Second brother, you must be right. The black shadow must be in the cave on the left. Let's get over it."
"Yeah, catch him later and torture him really hard. He's really hurting us." Jiang Shaolin said with an angry look on his face.
Listening to their discussion, Zhang Mu shook his head.
"Huh? Second brother, isn't it right?" Jiang Shaolin said in confusion.
"No, you are right. It is indeed very possible that the shadow is in the passage on the left, but I don't think we should go this way." Zhang Mu said rather mysteriously.
Jiang Shaojin had a puzzled look on his face, but Jiang Shaochen suddenly smiled and said: "I know, second brother, is that what you think? The black shadow is on the left, which means that there may have been some trap set inside.
, just waiting for us to dance, right?"
After looking at Jiang Shaolin, who was quite flexible, Zhang Mu was very pleased. After all, his brothers were not all fools like Jiang Shaochen.
"Well, my guess is that there is probably something in the passage on the right that the shadows don't want us to discover, and the one on the left is a trap set by the shadows to deal with us." Zhang Mu did the same.
He thinks so, but whether it is true or not is not his decision. He can only take a gamble. Fortunately, since he has been cultivating immortality, he has basically been gambling. He firmly believes that he is protected by the goddess of luck and has never failed.
.
Hope you won’t be disappointed this time?
"Okay, second brother, let's take the passage on the right and let that smart guy cry on the side, haha..." Jiang Shaolin laughed proudly.
Zhang Mu smiled bitterly, said nothing, and took the lead towards the passage on the right.
Wuzi Jiang, who was following closely behind, also came in. However, when Sun Xiao, who was walking behind, was about to go in, he felt something was wrong behind him, as if someone was watching him again.
In this weird cave, Sun Xiaoduo was still somewhat resistant. He swallowed his saliva, as if to see what was behind, and slowly turned his head...
