Wilderness Mountain. It is said to be a mountain, but in fact this mountain is very huge. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a stretching mountain range. From a distance, you can see that the entire wilderness mountain range is dark brown, and there is very little vegetation overall. It is basically only located at the foot of the mountain and in the valleys within it, and the vegetation growing there is usually a type that is very drought-resistant. Wasteland Mountain... Chen Mu stood on a high slope, clasping his hands and looking at the deserted mountains in the distance. The reason why this mountain range is barren is that the soil in the entire area is very dry, from the ground to the underground. Even in the rainy season, there is little rain and water in this generation, so there are no villages nearby. You all line up in groups and patrol along the line. Chen Mu gave instructions to the two black-clothed guards of the Demon Slaying Division behind him, as well as some of the swordsmen of the Yu family guarding the courtyard, and the officers of Anyu County. Because there are no villages near Wasteland Mountain, patrols do not need to be close to Wasteland Mountain. They only need to deploy fixed manpower in some highlands with wide views along the route, and move patrol posts in more complicated places. The location where Chen Mu is located is about ten miles away from the nearest village. This distance is basically the same as if there are monsters coming out of the wilderness mountains, and it can be reported at all levels and responded quickly.
Yes, sir. Two black-clothed guards responded respectfully and led a group of swordsmen and servants in two directions, heading to the left and right sides. Only Chen Mu, a Yu family swordsman and a county government officer were left standing on the high slope. Because the vegetation nearby is not luxuriant, standing on this high slope, you can basically have a panoramic view of a large area. Whether there are monsters or monsters, you can basically see them at a glance. The county official stood by carefully. Don't be too restrained. Keep your field of view wider and don't miss the monsters that may pass by. Seeing the nervous look on the guard's face, Chen Mu spoke calmly. ……yes. The officer quickly responded. Don't blame him for being nervous. There is really a big difference in status between Chen Mu and him, but at the same time, he can't help but feel a little excited. If he can follow Chen Mu in doing things, if he can make some achievements and get into Chen Mu's eyes, that will be a lifetime achievement. Rare opportunity. Therefore, the whole person was tense, his eyes swept from the high ground to all directions, observing everywhere, not daring to show any slightness. In comparison, The swordsman of the Yu family is much calmer. After Chen Mulan stood on the high slope and watched for a while, until the two men led by the black-clad guards he brought disappeared in the distance, and no one could be seen at all, he turned his head and looked at the wilderness mountain in the distance. suddenly. The Yu family swordsman next to him whispered: Sir, it seems to be a monster. Well, I saw it. Chen Mu's expression was calm, and his gaze fell in a distant direction. At the end of his vision, he could vaguely see a vague shadow, jumping repeatedly in a deep ravine. Although he couldn't see clearly, his movements were beyond what ordinary beasts could do. They were probably a kind of monster, but they were still relatively far away. Chen Mu only glanced at them for a few times before looking away.
When monsters are in chaos, you often don't need to be too proactive. The monsters will rush in because of their mania. Chen Mu still looked around, while the swordsman from the Yu family looked at the monster in the far distance from time to time. Until about an hour later, the figure that jumped from time to time in the wasteland ravine suddenly disappeared. When he caught his sight again, he saw that it had left the ravine and was heading towards the high ground. The swordsman of the Yu family suddenly stared. soon. I saw the monster approaching, but it was a leopard monster with a reddish-orange color and a few black spots. Its shape was very similar to the color of this wilderness area. It was very fast. If you didn't watch carefully, you could easily lose sight of it. . Sir, it seems to be a fire rock leopard. Can I go take care of it? The swordsman of the Yu family did not dare to look away, staring closely at the leopard demon that was getting closer and closer, and spoke in a low voice to Chen Mu. Fire Leopard. It is a type of second-level monster, within the range that he can deal with. However, his words did not receive a response. When he was slightly stunned, he glanced to one side from the corner of his eyes and saw that Chen Mu's figure had disappeared on the rocks on the high slope at some point. When he looked at the rushing Fire Leopard again, he saw Chen Mu in green clothes appearing on its path. Roar!!! The fire rock leopard's demonic eyes were wild and it let out a fierce roar at Chen Mu. Then it jumped up high and rushed towards Chen Mu with a strong wind. It waved its sharp claws and tried to tear Chen Mu into pieces. . Click! A very slight sound. Chen Mu held a knife in his right hand and slashed lightly at the Fire Rock Leopard's neck. With just one blow, the Fire Rock Leopard suddenly stiffened as it pounced. After falling to the ground, its body began to twitch. Loss of life. Chen Mu reached out and picked up the Fire Rock Leopard's still twitching, not yet dead body, like lifting a kitten, carried it all the way back to the high slope, and threw it aside. Prepare it and bake it for dinner. Chen Mu gave a calm order. The swordsman from the Yu family responded quickly and stepped forward to deal with the Fire Rock Leopard's body. After the swordsman of the Yu family finished processing the Fire Rock Leopard's body, Chen Mu picked up a piece of roasted meat and tasted it. The taste was a little ordinary, which made him frown slightly, but he still ate the whole piece of meat. . As the sun sets in the west, it gradually becomes night. The Yu family swordsman felt a little more relaxed. During severe droughts, monsters that are driven into mania by this stimulation tend to be calmer at night, so there is no need to worry too much about patrols at night. However, he and the officer still took turns patrolling the high slopes. Chen Mu's figure sometimes disappeared into the dark night. Until the next morning, when the sun rose again, the swordsman of the Yu family came to Gaopo and looked over, but Chen Mu's figure could not be seen from all directions. My lord is gone. The county official whispered.
When he breathed a sigh of relief, after the nervousness disappeared, he felt a little regretful that he could not make any contribution. However, Chen Mu must have gone to inspect the surrounding areas, and he would probably return here after a while. … Among the wilderness hills. Chen Mu was walking slowly. Occasionally, monsters would approach from a distance and suddenly launch a surprise attack from behind. However, with just a wave of his hand, these low-level monsters were killed by him on the spot. After sorting out only the most valuable things, the rest were discarded without the time to bring them back one by one. There are fewer high-level monsters than I thought. After Chen Mu took off a piece of the demon deer's antler, he looked at the body of the demon deer and shook his head slightly. He patrolled for a day and night, and basically dealt with first- and second-order monsters. So far, he had not seen any third-order monsters. This was different from what he expected, but maybe it was just because of the early stage of the monster chaos. . Just thinking about it. suddenly. A sharp cloud-breaking whistle came from the distant sky, and the whistle shot straight into the sky. A whistle? Chen Mu glanced in that direction, then changed his pace and headed towards the direction where the whistle came from. Those who need to use a whistle are usually troublesome and cannot handle the situation at all. One of the whistles represents a monster that cannot be dealt with. It is usually of a higher rank. This kind of whistle will only spread in one place. It will be transmitted by the Qingyi Guards. Send people to deal with it. Two whistles represent a large number of monsters that cannot be stopped and have crossed the patrol line. This situation will be responded to continuously. The two whistles are passed to the countryside, and the person in charge of the command will mobilize troops to suppress them. Finally there are three rings. Representing the most serious situation, people from all over the country are summoned to gather together. Depending on the severity of the situation, it may even be necessary to request reinforcements from the county government. Chen Mu's figure moved very quickly. His whole body was just a little bit on the wasteland, and then he jumped a long distance. His whole body quickly swept across the ground like an afterimage, and he soon approached the direction of the signaling post. at this time. On the high mountain rock, a black-clothed guard from the Demon Slayer Department was crouching nervously behind the rock, staring closely at the hills in the distance. He saw a yellow-brown snake snake all the way. Come. This is a third-level monster, the Rock Scale Demonic Snake. Its scales are almost as hard as rock. Weaker attacks cannot even leave traces on its surface. It is a monster that the black-clad guards cannot deal with. even. The Tsing Yi Guards may not be able to capture the capital, and they can only continue to confront them to consume their energy and find ways to force them to retreat. He had already used the 'Concealing Incense'. If he hid tightly without making any noise, ordinary monsters would basically be unable to find him. But this time he was very unlucky and encountered a rock-scale monster snake. Snake monster. Among all monsters, except for the flying ones, snakes are almost also quite troublesome, because they have different types and different perceptions. Some have extremely sharp hearing, some rely on smell, and some even Can sense body heat. Hiss. The rock-scale demonic snake came near the black-clothed guard and spat out the snake letter, seemingly hesitant. The black-clothed guard was stiff and did not dare to make any sound.
But at this moment, a police officer who was also lying on the ground behind him pinched the rock nervously, but accidentally broke off a corner of the rock with a 'snap' sound. bad! The black-clad guard's expression changed. They saw the hesitating rock-scale demonic snake suddenly arching its body and heading in the direction where the few people were hiding. Then it bounced up, like a brown arrow, coming against the rock at an extremely fast speed. But just when the black-clothed guard looked ugly and the officer behind him turned pale with fear, a sharp sound of breaking through the air came from behind, and a beam of sword light was seen coming from a distance, drawing a long rainbow and slashing towards the fast-moving people. Rock scale snake. Whoosh! The movements of the rock-scale demonic snake were quite sharp. It was clearly moving straight forward one moment, but then suddenly, nearly one-third of the snake's body, including its head, was raised upwards. With a clicking sound, the beam of sword light finally fell, landing less than three inches in front of the demon snake. It was a fine iron sword that was thrown towards the demon snake. At this time, the entire blade penetrated and sank into the body. Among the rocks. Hiss! The rock-scale demon snake stood up, its body trembling wildly, and it seemed that it was extremely frightened and angry. At this time, he no longer paid attention to the black-clothed guards and others, but suddenly turned his head and pounced towards the figure under the rock. snort. Chen Mu snorted coldly. Although he was empty-handed at this time, he showed no fear. He pointed his right hand as a sword and struck the top of the biting snake's head, causing its speeding body to shrink down. The hardness is okay. Chen Mu looked at the rock-scaled demonic snake that had taken his blow and only paused for a moment without any obvious injuries. He commented lightly, then turned around and reached the mountain rock. He held only a small section of the exposed part of the snake. The handle of the knife outside the mountain rock. With a clang, he pulled out the fine iron sword, then turned around and struck suddenly, colliding with the rock-scale demon snake that was attacking again, slashing directly on its head. Sparks flew out from the impact, accompanied by The crisp sound of gold and iron. Under the shocked gaze of the black-clothed guard, he saw the sharp iron blade in Chen Mu's hand cut into it! hiss!!! The rock-scale demon snake let out a painful hiss, and retracted its body. A stream of blood flowed from its head. The mania and ferocity in its pair of demonic eyes suddenly subsided a lot. It turned around and tried to escape. But Chen Mu's movements did not stop at all. He stepped forward with indifferent eyes, stepped on his tail, and with a horizontal movement of the fine iron knife in his hand, he cut his body into two pieces with a click! The lower half of the rock-scale demon snake suddenly twisted and wrapped around Chen Mu's ankle. The upper half of its body burst out with ferocity again, viciously attacking Chen Mu and biting it again, but it had no effect, and was beaten by Chen Mu three times. Cut it into several sections. So strong! The black-clothed guard of the Demon Slayer Division on the side looked at this scene and couldn't help but take a deep breath. He had encountered the rock-scale demon snake once before and knew that this kind of demon snake could sometimes change its muscles due to its strong scales. If the weapon in hand is not good enough, it is often difficult for the guard to forcefully break through the defense. At most, it can only consume its physical strength and finally repel it. Here, Chen Mu relied on the Demon Slaying Division's standard fine iron sword to cut it into several sections in three or five strokes. With such strength and sword skills, it is no wonder that Xu Hongyu valued it so much that he even made decisions in the council hall. Thank you sir for the rescue! The guard in black climbed up from the rock and saluted respectfully towards Chen Mu, his eyes full of awe. Chen Mu was using his knife to process the body of the rock-scale demon snake, removing the guts, heart, and blood from it. Finally, he abandoned the snake meat with the lowest value on the spot. He looked at the black-clothed guard and said calmly: Continue patrolling.
