Chapter 353 A Surprise Gift Package from a Rich Woman
Three days later, Zhao Mu and Yan Qingyue entered the dark forest.
During this time, Xiao Lingxi did not appear, but both of them knew very well that this little brat had been following them secretly.
Through secret methods, the two concealed their cultivation levels. The Lingyuan Realm was too low, and the Kongming Realm was a little conspicuous, so they all changed it to the early stage of the Tiangang Realm.
This level of cultivation is not high in the Dark Forest, but it is definitely not low either, just right.
On the first day after entering, the two did not go deeper, but found an inn in a small town on the edge of the city to rest for two days.
Before going deep into a chaotic place like the Dark Forest, it is best to understand the distribution of forces there.
"Seven River Valley, the Bone Tribe, and the Black Demon Villa. I didn't expect that there would be three first-rate forces in this dark forest."
Looking at the detailed explanation of the Dark Forest that he had obtained in exchange for a mid-grade spirit stone, Zhao Mu couldn't help but show a hint of shock.
"It's actually not surprising. This Dark Forest is rich in resources and mineral veins are everywhere. If it weren't for the special situation of Skull State, such a rich place would definitely be occupied by top-tier forces. The current situation is nothing more than the result of the game between various parties."
Zhao Mu deeply agreed with Yan Qingyue's words.
In fact, the first-class forces in the entire Skull State are more or less influenced by the shadows of super-first-class forces in other states, and local first-class forces are very rare.
For example, it is said that behind the Seven River Valley is the Ten Thousand River Valley of Hezhou, and behind the White Bone Clan is the Bone Clan, which is the most powerful among all the clans. The Black Demon Villa is even more obvious, as it is the Black Demon Sect, a top-notch force in the magic world.
Many elders of the sect will remind disciples who go to Skull State for training: Don’t provoke the first-rate forces in Skull State easily, and as for the second-rate forces, you can do whatever you want.
Because most of the second-rate forces in Skull State do not have the background of top-tier forces, it is not a big deal if they are provoked.
"Senior Sister Yan, does our Hunyuan Taiqing Palace support any forces in Skull State?"
Zhao Mu raised his head slightly and looked at Yan Qingyue with great curiosity.
"Have."
Yan Qingyue nodded, "But the Dark Forest Sect did not intervene."
Just at this moment, Zhao Mu suddenly frowned slightly.
"what happened?"
Yan Qingyue rarely saw this expression on Zhao Mu's face.
"Wu Yao's message."
Zhao Mu answered truthfully, and Yan Qingyue's expression did not change, because she had been receiving messages from the former's other two Taoist companions every month recently, and she had become accustomed to it.
However, the intervals between these summonses seemed a little shorter.
She remembered it clearly, the last time was probably seven days ago.
It was because the time interval was too short that Zhao Mu showed this expression, because he had agreed with the little rich woman and the silly senior sister that unless there were special circumstances, they would contact each other once a month.
It had only been seven days, and he was worried that something had happened to the rich young woman, so he immediately checked the message.
After reading the message from the rich young woman, Zhao Mu's face showed ecstasy. He suddenly jumped up from the bed, and even Yan Qingyue's skirt was lifted up to his head.
"What's wrong? Any good news?"
Yan Qingyue calmly adjusted her dress. She was no longer surprised by Zhao Mu's behavior. This guy would act recklessly when he got excited.
"Well, this is great news. I'm starting to wonder if I'm the lucky one."
"what for?"
"Do you know what the message Wu Yao just sent was?"
"what?"
"She used the Immortal Compass to deduce a fragment of the Demon Slayer Sword. After extensive investigation, she concluded that a fragment of the Demon Slayer Sword was located within the Black Demon Forest. Isn't that a coincidence?"
Yan Qingyue's expression was slightly moved. No wonder Zhao Mu suspected that he was the son of destiny.
The Demon-Slaying Sword was the sacred weapon of Xuantian Dao Sect, the foremost sect of the righteous path tens of thousands of years ago. If it weren't for the Demon-Slaying Sword, the righteous path would have been completely defeated. As it has developed to this day, the demonic path has most likely become the mainstream of the world.
Anyone who is on the righteous path would not want to recreate the power of the Demon-Slaying Sword. Unfortunately, the fragments of the Demon-Slaying Sword were scattered all over the world and no one has been able to find them all.
Although Hunyuan Taiqing Palace is a neutral force and Yan Qingyue has never cared about the so-called struggle between good and evil, the Demon-Slaying Sword is a well-known artifact. The word "artifact" alone is enough to move her.
"Is she coming to the Dark Forest?"
"That's not true."
Zhao Mu shook his head. It would take at least a year for the rich young woman to return, because his unruly mother-in-law had been asking her daughter to suppress her cultivation and would not allow her to break through the Tiangang realm so quickly.
"Without the Immortal Compass, can you find the fragments of the Demon Slayer Sword? After all, the Dark Forest is quite large."
Hearing that Wu Yao would not be coming back for the time being, Yan Qingyue's tone became noticeably lighter.
"I can detect it within a certain range, but the effect is far inferior to the Immortal Compass. Let's look for it first."
"Ok!"
...
The night is as dark as ink, and the lights are dim.
After the two of them sat at their desks and observed the detailed explanation of the Dark Forest for half an hour, they finally had a general understanding of the basic situation of the Dark Forest.
Zhao Mu stretched lazily. Under the dim light, Yan Qingyue's enchanting figure stretched before his eyes, adding a layer of hazy beauty, which made him salivate.
But unfortunately, due to the hidden danger of Tai Shang Wangqing and Yan Qingyue's reserve, the two of them were never completely intimate. Things like using each other as a pillow on each other's knees were out of the question.
At most, when they slept in each other's arms, Yan Qingyue allowed him to put his hands two inches below his waist.
Call ~
Zhao Mu exhaled lightly to calm himself down.
"sorry."
As if she had noticed what Zhao Mu was thinking, Yan Qingyue reached out and touched the back of Zhao Mu's hand.
"It's okay. One day I'll be able to solve your hidden dangers."
"Ok!"
Yan Qingyue nodded and slowly leaned in Zhao Mu's arms. In fact, she was not opposed to some of the latter's behaviors, but the hidden danger of Tai Shang Wangqing always made her stay away.
She had a feeling that if Zhao Mu succeeded, both of them would suffer a great disaster.
This feeling began after Zhao Mu entered her soul space and discovered the hidden danger, and as time went on, this feeling became more and more obvious.
If not for this, she would not have rejected some of Zhao Mu's actions after they fell in love in the cave that night.
Yan Qingyue could feel Zhao Mu's thoughts, and Zhao Mu also knew her inner concerns.
But unfortunately, there is nothing he can do about it at the moment. His only hope is to find Old Man Qi to ask for a solution, or to go to the cave in the far north in person.
But the possibility is almost zero, because that is the far north where all life is extinct. Unless the strange beast appears again and carries him and Yan Qingyue to the cave, otherwise, he will have to wait until he has the cultivation level of Yin and Yang Realm before he dares to go to the far north.
But by the time he reaches the Yin-Yang realm, it will probably be too late, and Yan Qingyue will definitely not be able to hold on for that long.
...
The next morning, Zhao Mu and Yan Qingyue prepared to go deep into the dark forest.
It is not only to find the fragments of the Demon-Slaying Sword, but also to help Zhao Mu find an opportunity to break through his limits.
In the chaotic dark forest, there are no laws at all, and fighting is the norm here.
In just three days, the two encountered five murders and robberies, all of whom were at the Tiangang Realm. Yan Qingyue did not take action and left them to Zhao Mu to practice.
But unfortunately, these people did not bring any improvement to Zhao Mu.
In desperation, he began to actively look for prey.
On the fifth day, the prey appeared, but Zhao Mu didn't expect that it was an old acquaintance.
