Three days later.

Li Mu, with Yue Ling on his flying sword, headed towards the edge of the Endless Forest.

Half an hour later, they met up with Xu Shiheng and entered the Endless Forest together.

The Xu family, including Xu Shiheng, brought a total of five people, two of whom were Heavenly Realm martial artists.

The River God, who had warned Li Mu with his eyes at the Black Mud Lake, was much more amicable when they met again.

Two Earth Realm warriors led the way with long swords, while River God and another Heaven Realm warrior walked in the middle.

Li Mu, Yue Ling, and Xu Shiheng walked behind, chatting and laughing.

According to Xu Shiheng's plan, they would stay in the forest for six or seven days until they harvested the Blood Jade Marrow Fungus.

The first day of a jungle adventure is always filled with anticipation, especially for Moon Spirit, who was very excited after entering the forest.

Before leaving, Li Mu forged a cold iron sword for her, which she held in her hand and swung around continuously.

Upon seeing a plump rabbit, he chased it for a mile, killed it with a single sword strike, and returned to the group with his spoils.

Looking at Yue Ling's proud expression, as if she wanted to praise him, Li Mu found it amusing and gave her a praising look.

He wondered if this woman could bring herself to kill someone.

If she saw me kill someone, would she be as terrified as Lin Hongluan, turning pale and vomiting uncontrollably?

Thinking back on the various discomforts Lin Hongluan felt when she committed murder, it had a great impact on her character afterwards.

He entered Shenzhou and forcefully killed Yi Hongming and Zhou Zhe at Tianxuan Sect, but did not go on a killing spree.

In the past, if Kan Shixiong and his group had harbored murderous intentions towards him, he would never have let them go.

Once Kan Shixiong is killed, the elders of the Tianxuan Sect will not be able to have a friendly spar with him; they will inevitably have to fight to the death.

In the end, he endured it.

It may seem that he is soft-hearted, but in reality, he is too influenced by Lin Hongluan.

Lin Hongluan disliked seeing him kill people and disliked bloodshed; he had subtly changed a lot.

.

As Yue Ling chased after another wild boar, Li Mu felt a sense of relief.

If Yue Ling were to become more accustomed to scenes of killing, even if she were to witness killing herself in the future, her performance would likely be far better than Lin Hongluan's.

The wild boars that fled ahead weighed at least two or three hundred pounds; with Yue Ling's strength at the mid-stage of the first level of Qi Refining, she should be able to handle them.

Seeing Yue Ling chase after him, he swung his sword wildly without any strategy, driving the wild boar into a frenzy.

After all, she was a woman who had never hunted before, so it would take her a lot of effort to kill a wild boar.

Li Mu had no intention of interfering, thinking that as long as Yue Ling wasn't killed in return, he would let her do whatever she wanted.

He had figured some things out by this time: in the path of cultivation, only the fittest survive, and the unfit are eliminated.

Killing is often for one's own survival. If killing wild beasts can help Yue Ling develop a strong will, then the journey will not have been in vain.

The outside world offers Lin Hongluan few opportunities to hone her skills, aside from killing, because wild animals are scarce and have become protected species.

In the land of Shenzhou, there are many ferocious beasts and monsters, and Yue Ling has the opportunity to grow stronger through slaughter.

No matter what, he has to leave, and once he leaves, Yue Ling will ultimately have to rely on herself to survive.

She has embarked on the path of cultivation, and she must face the thorns and obstacles ahead on her own.

Now that there's an opportunity to make Yue Ling stronger, he can leave with more peace of mind.

Thinking of this, he felt that he should take Yue Ling out on more jungle adventures like this, as a trial for her.

Li Mu was still thinking about taking Yue Ling out more often when a gasp came from the other side.

"ah!"

Yue Ling screamed as she climbed up a small tree.

The ferocious wild boar was covered in blood, with dozens of wounds, none of which were fatal. Instead, these wounds only fueled the boar's ferocity.

It kept crashing into the small tree where the Moon Spirit was, making the Moon Spirit on the tree sway back and forth.

Yue Ling was also covered in wild boar blood, panting heavily and exhausted, but she did not give up.

Seeing Yue Ling's behavior, Li casually threw out an iron nail, injuring the front leg of the charging wild boar.

For some reason, the moon spirit in the tree saw the fallen wild boar, seized the opportunity, and severed the wild boar's neck with a single sword stroke.

Seeing this, Li Mu's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself, "This kid is teachable."

Yue Ling's final strike was commendable; having relied on brute force, she finally learned to channel spiritual energy into her longsword to fight.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have so easily severed the wild boar's neck.

.

Although Yue Ling looked quite disheveled after killing the wild boar, she was reluctant to give up her prey, leaving Li Mu feeling helpless.

After discussing it, the group decided to rest on the spot, heat oil in a pot, stew wild boar, and roast wild rabbit.

Yueling thoroughly enjoyed the picnic, finding it particularly delicious.

After the picnic, the group continued their journey and arrived at their designated location before dark, where they camped and rested.

According to Xu Shiheng and his team's planned route, it would take about three days to trek through the forest to reach the Blood Jade Marrow Fungus.

Li Mu and Yue Ling stayed in the prepared tent and spent the night peacefully together.

After setting off the next day, they encountered more and more ferocious beasts, and the individuals were also quite large.

The spotted tiger, the silver-armored beast, and the warthog were all enormous, none of them weighing less than 300 pounds.

Everyone began hunting and driving away the ferocious beasts. While Li Mu was casually killing the beasts, he taught Yue Ling how to use her divine sense and spiritual power to kill wild animals.

Under Li Mu's constant instruction, Yue Ling became more and more skilled at dealing with ferocious beasts, and the more she killed them, the more adept she became.

Over the course of the day, Yue Ling had killed just as many ferocious beasts as the others.

After arriving at the campsite for the second day, they encountered a pack of lone golden-backed wolves while resting at night. The alpha wolf had already developed intelligence.

In the tranquil mountain forest, a wolf howl broke out, and more than ten wolves launched an attack.

The wolves spread out in a fan shape, cooperating very well with each other.

However, this cooperation was clearly visible to Li Mu and Yue Ling's divine senses.

The wolves come fast, but die even faster.

The Xu family warriors worked together to kill three of them, while Yue Ling killed two on her own, and she was very pleased with herself.

The alpha wolf and the other dozen or so wolves were all taken care of by Li Mu's iron nails, one nail per wolf, which was extremely efficient.

.

On the third day after setting off, they encountered fewer ferocious beasts.

As Yue Ling fought her way through the forest, she noticed that the number of ferocious beasts had decreased, which she found quite regrettable.

With Yue Ling's current strength, she should be able to deal with ordinary Xuan Realm martial artists.

It must be said that growing up amidst killing is indeed a great training ground for people.

Sensing Yue Ling's regret, Li Mu was speechless. This woman was truly ignorant and fearless, a bit recklessly bold.

The fact that there are fewer ferocious beasts now is definitely not a good thing; it means we have probably reached the territory of the demon beasts.

Those that can be called demonic beasts are all animals that have awakened their intelligence and have a strong sense of territory.

He didn't know how high the level of the monsters in the mountains and forests was. He could easily kill level one monsters and deal with level two monsters.

If they encounter a level-three demonic beast, he can only try to escape with Yue Ling as soon as possible, and even then, there's no guarantee of success.

It should be noted that level three demonic beasts possess the strength of Golden Core cultivators; a single breath from them could wipe them out entirely.

That being said, since someone picked Blood Jade Marrow Fungus in the forest, there shouldn't be any Level 3 demonic beasts present.

At this moment, two Heavenly Realm warriors from the Xu family began to warn everyone to be careful of ferocious beasts.

Their journey became more cautious.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Yue Ling also became nervous.
