Black Mud Lake, in the center of the lake, lotus pond.
Li Mu was being chased and attacked by a three-eyed crocodile, one in the air and the other in the water.
Li Mu paused in mid-air from time to time, sometimes driving out a nail, sometimes firing a shot with a sniper rifle, sometimes slashing with his wooden sword.
This caused the three-eyed crocodile in the water to become extremely violent, sometimes leaping into the air to attack, sometimes launching fireballs, and sometimes launching mental attacks.
A man and a beast drifted along the Black Mud Lake, gradually moving further and further away from the lotus pond.
Suddenly, the person in the air swooped down, throwing a handful of iron nails and a fireball at the three-eyed crocodile, and then slashing out with a sword.
He unleashed a three-hit combo, and then vanished without a trace.
The three-eyed crocodile, who had been in control and had the upper hand, was left somewhat bewildered by the three consecutive attacks.
More importantly, that annoying four-legged creature has actually disappeared.
When it came to its senses, it realized that the mature chain it had been guarding had been taken away.
"Nothing to be found!"
With a mournful, low crocodile roar, the three-eyed crocodile leaped into the air and returned to the lotus pond in just three breaths.
Seeing the bare, withered lotus stems filled him with uncontrollable rage.
"Nothing to be found!"
After letting out a loud roar, the three-eyed crocodile took to the air again and leaped towards the lake shore.
'That foolish four-legged beast dared to touch his Thousand Lotus Seeds, it deserves to die.'
"Watch out, run!"
"Run! The three-eyed crocodile has gone berserk and is about to attack the shore."
On the lakeside, the warriors watching the battle between man and crocodile were suddenly plunged into danger.
In an instant, the martial artists on the shore began to scatter and flee.
The warriors who didn't have time to escape were instantly burned to ashes by the fireballs spewed by the three-eyed crocodile.
After the three-eyed crocodile came ashore, it swung its tail and snapped two large trees on the bank in an instant.
Before the two martial artists could escape, they were both swept away.
At this moment, Xu Shiheng and his two companions were cursing loudly as they fled.
"Damn it, which bastard messed with the Three-Eyed Crocodile King? He's a complete scoundrel."
.
Li Mu, who had angered the Three-Eyed Crocodile King, was now more than 20 miles away from Black Mud Lake.
He picked more than ten fire lotus flowers and lotus pods, feeling both happy and worried.
To his delight, he not only picked more than ten fire lotus flowers, but also got the lotus seeds from them.
What worries him is that there are actually level-two demonic beasts within the Divine Land. If there are too many demonic beasts of this level, he needs to be careful.
After flying for a while, he determined the location of the Tianxuan Sect and flew south.
As dusk fell, an hour later, he had already flown above the Endless Forest.
China has no sea, but it has vast forests covering more than half of its land area—endless forests.
The entire forest is located at the center of the whole land of China, and it is boundless.
It is said that no one has ever been able to cross the forest, because a great monster lives in the endless forest.
Another hour passed, and Li Mu, standing on his flying sword, had already ventured deep into the heart of the Endless Forest.
While a sense of awe for the endless forest arises in one's heart, the continuous forest beneath one's feet leads to aesthetic fatigue.
Perhaps the continuous flying had made him a little tired, and he was able to relax a bit.
Just then, some subtle fluctuations appeared in the sky, and he sensed a danger approaching.
"call out!"
He had just become alert when a terrifying attack silently descended upon him.
It moved as fast as a shooting star.
Aside from instinctively tilting his head slightly, he didn't have time to react at all.
In the blink of an eye, his energy shield was shattered, and his left shoulder was torn open, the skin and flesh were mangled, and blood was gushing out.
.
"Holy crap! What the hell is that?"
Li Mu, who was attacked and injured in an instant, didn't even see a shadow of him.
Still in pain and confusion, he sensed air fluctuations again.
"What the hell, you're doing it again?"
Even divine sense couldn't distinguish it, which shows how fast the attacker was.
Unable to understand the situation, he could only play blindly.
As a fireball was launched, the Wooden Fang Sword slashed towards the spatial fluctuation.
"puff!"
Perhaps it was luck, but Li Mu's sword actually struck the attacker.
Illuminated by the fireball, it became clear that it was a bird with a wingspan of less than two meters, resembling a hawk, and possessing a pair of sharp talons.
Night Owl!
Li Mu thought of birds that could attack in the dark and have such speed; it must be a night owl.
Just as he was congratulating himself on killing the night owl with a single sword strike, he sensed two more fluctuations in the air.
Two owls came at once.
If they attack simultaneously, he absolutely cannot handle it in his current condition.
He had to control his flying sword to keep it moving sideways as it fell, and finally managed to evade the owl's attack.
A moment later, he landed on a large tree, focused his divine sense on a range of a hundred meters, and sensed the fluctuations in the surrounding air.
This night owl is neither a demonic beast nor a spirit beast, but a bird with absolute speed.
If you can detect the attack with your divine sense or determine the direction of the attack in advance, you can kill it easily.
He was a cultivator who was chased and beaten by a three-eyed crocodile during the day and attacked by a night owl at night, his heart burning with rage.
There's a curse in my heart that I'm holding back, not knowing who to send it to.
.
After swallowing a blood-clotting pill, Li Mu stood on the tree waiting for the night owl to attack.
More than ten minutes later, the space fluctuated again, and this time his divine sense clearly saw the direction from which the two night owls were attacking.
The flying sword and the wooden fang simultaneously slashed at the two night owls.
"Pfft! Pfft!"
After a soft sound, the two owls turned into two clouds of blood mist in the air.
After killing the two night owls, he stood on the tree and waited for another half hour.
They only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that no more owls were attacking.
At this point, he had lost all interest in continuing his journey and simply sat down on a thick tree branch to meditate.
In one day, I encountered everything that flies in the sky and swims in the water.
He didn't want to go back into the forest and encounter some creature that crawls on the ground.
The next day, it was broad daylight.
After getting up, Li Mu changed out of his tattered clothes and into a casual outfit.
Stepping onto the flying sword, they once again headed south.
.
Nantianmen (South Heaven Gate)
After Li Mu leaped over the endless forest, what came into view was a city wall stretching for dozens of miles, with the three large characters "South Heavenly Gate" engraved on it.
The map indicates that the Tianxuan Sect governs four cities: Tianxuan City, Nantian City, Song City, and Tang City, with a total population of over two million.
The warriors of the Tianxuan Sect mainly reside in Tianxuan City and Nantian City, while Song City and Tang City are two mortal cities.
The South Heavenly Gate is a natural barrier that blocks the beast tide.
It was a city wall built by several generations, and then the city, Nantian City, was built.
Nantian City is a sub-city of Tianxuan City, where the Tianxuan Sect is located. The two cities face each other from one end to the other, forming a strategic triangle.
To prevent the beast tide, thousands of martial artists live here, the vast majority of whom are disciples of the Tianxuan Sect.
In Nantian City, there are also more than 200,000 mortals.
In addition to their defensive duties, the martial artists living here also need to gather herbs and search for cultivation resources in the Endless Forest.
Li Mu controlled his flying sword to land in a farmhouse courtyard, which should belong to a mulberry farmer.
A large amount of silk and some coarse cloth clothes were drying in the yard.
He managed to snag a set of clothes in Fuxing City, but his three-eyed crocodile's fireball burned several large holes in them, and his shoulder blade was scratched by the night owl.
He came here to change clothes.
The clothes thief, Li Mu, quickly disappeared after rolling up a set of coarse cloth clothes in the yard.
