Biji Mountain is located deep in the forest.
Li Mu had been here for two days and three nights, and dawn was approaching. There were still dozens of ghost-faced spider silks that he hadn't finished collecting.
So, he threw out ten jade rods at once, each containing a stream of spiritual energy, to stimulate the Ghost-Faced Spider. Any more than that would be uncontrollable.
After collecting two rounds using ten jade sticks, it was already broad daylight, and Li Mu stopped collecting.
The collected spider silk is barely enough to make a mask, so let's give the ghost-faced spiders in these mountains some face.
Crafting a spider silk mask isn't difficult; the challenge lies in encountering the Ghost-Faced Spider and collecting its silk.
The process of making masks is similar to that of making cultivator robes, only with more variations and intricate designs.
Li Mu collected the spider silk into a jade box, sat down to meditate for a while, and then took out all the spider silk to begin refining a mask.
An hour later, a mask so transparent it was almost invisible was successfully crafted.
Li Muxin said that he had finally obtained a legendary treasure.
This item may not be useful in normal times, but it can be very useful when you're plotting against someone, especially when you've offended them and need to escape.
Legend has it that someone spent hundreds of years crafting a perfect spider silk mask.
Because that mask was made from the silk spun by a ghost-faced spider.
This legend seems a bit far-fetched. Over hundreds of years, how many people could actually ensure that the spiders would not die, that they would be able to spin silk every year, and that the collected silk would be preserved?
Li Mu rubbed his face with his hands, used the wind blade to clean his face, then put on the mask and imagined himself as a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties.
Immediately afterwards, Li Mu felt a change in his complexion.
Although there was no mirror and he couldn't see his own face, he had in fact transformed into a middle-aged man in an instant.
This is precisely the magic of the spider silk mask; it doesn't require much adjustment, and you can change your appearance simply by imagining it.
.
Wearing a mask, Li Mu strolled leisurely through the forest in a good mood, even hoping to bump into a few people and show off a bit.
"Whoosh--whoosh!"
Li Mu was feeling smug when a golden eagle swooped down at lightning speed toward him. Was it going to attack? How dare a little bird try to provoke him?
As the golden eagle approached, Li Mu casually swung his hand, killing it instantly and thinking he would have some meat to eat.
"No, have mercy."
A voice came from afar, but it was too late; the little bird was already dead.
Soon, a young man in his early twenties or thirties came to Li Mu. Clearly, this man was a martial artist and quite strong.
"Friend, I've already asked you to show mercy, why do you still hurt my little eagle? Isn't that too heartless?"
What are you going to do?
Li Mu felt very uncomfortable listening to this guy's arrogant and overbearing manner.
A pet is running around freely and is about to attack someone. Instead of apologizing, it seems to be causing trouble. Is it trying to start a fight?
"What? Friend, you're being too unreasonable! Not only did you kill my little eagle, but you also refuse to admit your mistake. I'd like to see what you're capable of to be so rude. Let me, Ao Chong, deal with you."
After Ao Chong finished speaking, he punched Li Mu in the shoulder with great force. This was not a killing move, but simply to teach Li Mu a lesson.
Li Mu quickly threw a punch to counter, and with a "smack!" the two separated. Ao Chong rubbed his fist and looked at Li Mu.
"You do have some skill, but I'm determined to have a fight with you today. Come on, show me your true abilities."
Upon exchanging blows, Li Mu sensed that his opponent was quite strong, actually on par with the Japanese man, likely at least at the Earth Realm level. Such cultivation at such a young age was truly rare.
However, Li Mu could also sense that this person hadn't intended to kill him, but was merely trying to teach him a lesson. So, he didn't go all out either. Now, it was hard to say what would happen if they fought again.
Ao Chong was definitely an impatient guy. As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately attacked. The two exchanged dozens of blows in a short time, with neither side gaining the upper hand.
As they fought, Ao Chong stared at Li Mu's face and suddenly stopped, only to be sent flying more than ten feet away by Li Mu's palm strike.
.
"You are... Uncle Mu Li?"
Ao Chong stared in astonishment at Li Mu's masked face, feeling that this person looked too much like Mu Li.
Li Mu was speechless when he heard Ao Chong call him Uncle Mu Li. He had just changed his appearance and people recognized him, and even recognized him as an "uncle".
"Are you Uncle Mu Li from Nanya Island? I'm Ao Chong from Wuji Island. Don't you recognize me?"
Seeing that Li Mu was just staring at him, neither admitting nor denying, Ao Chong became even more certain that this person was Mu Li.
"Oh! It's you, my little puppy... Ah! Long time no see, I almost didn't recognize you, you've grown up so much!"
Li Mu originally wanted to curse him as a son of a bitch for mistaking someone for someone else, but then he realized that it was wrong to curse someone so casually, so he quickly stopped himself.
"Ah! You really are Uncle Mu Li. I'm Er Gou. You used to call me Little Dog. It really is you." Ao Chong rushed over and grabbed Li Mu's arm.
He added, "Uncle Mu Li, I understand now. Little Eagle must have recognized you, which is why it charged at you. Unfortunately, you killed it."
"Ugh! Honestly, why did you kill the little eagle without even figuring things out? You gave it to me ten years ago!"
"Ah! This is... that little eagle?"
Li Mu was completely confused. What a coincidence! I just wanted to curse you, and you called me a puppy.
I killed the golden eagle, and you said it was a gift from me.
The little eagle definitely doesn't recognize me; it's probably just here to soak up some spiritual energy. Are you even going to let me go back to being Li Mu?
"Oh! It really is! Little dog, don't be too sad. I just accidentally killed the little eagle. It was just a bird. I'll give you a better one next time."
Ao Chong stopped talking, pouting with a sad expression.
My little eagle, which I've raised for ten years, has died just like that, and I can't even get revenge. I'm heartbroken.
He walked over, about to pick up the little eagle, when he was interrupted by a girl's voice.
"Ao Chong, have you found the little eagle?" A girl dressed in an island-themed dress ran over.
"Qianqian, the little eagle is dead," Ao Chong said.
When the girl arrived, she saw the dead bird on the ground and sensed the slight discord between Li Mu and Ao Chong.
Having roughly understood that the little eagle had been killed by this person, Ao Chong figured he couldn't defeat him and was heartbroken.
"You killed Little Eagle?... Wait! You are, you are Uncle Mu Li?"
Ou Xiaoqian originally intended to stand up for Ao Chong, but this person seems to be Uncle Mu Li. What's going on?
"Who are you?"
This time, Li Mu truly believed he was Mu Li. What a coincidence!
One dog said yes, but we can't take it too seriously. Now that this girl is also admitting her mistake, that's just too much of a coincidence.
However, it would be nice if this character could have an identity.
The names Mu Li and Li Mu can be used in reverse, which is quite a coincidence.
“Uncle Mu Li, this is Ou Xiaoqian, don’t you remember her?” Ao Chong immediately interjected when he saw that Li Mu didn’t recognize her.
"Oh! It's you, you little rascal! You've grown so much, I didn't recognize you!"
"Uncle, it really is you! You used to call me 'little devil' when we were kids. Don't call me that anymore. Just call me Qianqian. Uncle, come on, let's go to the camp over there and get some food. I also brought some good wine."
After Ou Xiaoqian finished speaking, she stepped forward and hugged Li Mu's arm, adding a sentence in her mind.
This left Li Mu speechless. Aren't all girls clever little devils when they're little?
"Let's go then, little dog, take the little bird with you, we'll roast it and eat it later."
Li Mu was pulled along by Ou Xiaoqian and walked forward. When he saw Ao Chong still grieving over the little eagle, he spoke directly.
Finally, at the camp, Ao Chong ate one of the eagle's wings and left leg with tears in his eyes.
