In the afternoon, everyone finished packing and a small military transport plane slowly landed at the base. Li Mu's group consisted of only eight people, so the small transport plane was more than enough. Everyone got on the plane and flew towards their destination.
At a military base in G Province, after several hours of flight, Li Mu and his party's plane landed at the base airport, and then changed to a military helicopter. They finally arrived at their destination, Qingshan Town, and further in were vast mountains.
"Captain Yin, I'm Zhou Yang, and this is Li Dezhi. We were both witnesses of the Soul-Devouring Sect incident in Miancheng, so the organization sent us to assist you." As soon as Yin Ruolan got off the plane, Zhou Yang and the other two came to greet her.
"Okay, thank you for your help!" Yin Ruolan nodded. She knew in advance that Zhou Yang and the other man would assist her.
"Senior!" Zhou Yang and the others couldn't help but exclaimed when they saw Li Mu.
"Haha, it's you two again." Li Mu said with a smile.
"Senior, what are you doing?" Zhou Yang asked cautiously.
"Of course we are here to help you. Otherwise, how can you guys deal with the people from the Soul Devouring Sect?" Chen Siqi said carelessly. When the members of Dragon Blade heard this, their faces looked a little unhappy.
"Weren't you beaten up by that Xiao Ping that day and couldn't fight back?" Zhou Yang and the other man complained in their hearts.
"Sister Ruolan, that's not what I meant!" Chen Siqi quickly explained.
"Haha~ It's okay, what you said is true. Completing the mission is our goal." Yin Ruolan said.
"Haha~ Captain Yin, to be honest, we were also very nervous before. After all, Xiao Ping from the Soul-Devouring Sect in Miancheng is too powerful. His aura seems to be much stronger than that of our branch commander. You know, our branch commander is a congenital master!" Zhou Yang said.
"Yeah." Yin Ruolan frowned and nodded. Then she said to everyone: "Don't think too much, take a good rest tonight, and we will go into the mountain tomorrow! If it doesn't work, we still have Li Mu and Siqi." Yin Ruolan didn't care and said directly. In her mind, getting rid of this evil force that was causing trouble was the most important thing.
"Please follow me, we have already arranged rooms for you!" Li Dezhi greeted everyone and led them to a small hotel.
After putting their things away, Li Mu and Yin Ruolan walked on the streets of the town. This time, Chen Siqi tactfully did not follow them.
The town is not big, and you can walk out of it on a street of several hundred meters. The afterglow of the sunset shines on their faces, and they can feel a hint of warmth.
The residents of the town were all elderly people, who were sitting outside their houses with their bowls and chopsticks, eating and chatting with their neighbors. Seeing Li Mu and the other two greeted them warmly, Yin Ruolan also responded with a smile.
The people in the town heard about what happened in the mountains and knew that Li Mu and his team were here to deal with it. The local government wanted to relocate them temporarily, but the old people refused. This was where they had lived all their lives. In their decades of life, there were too many legends in the mountains. They had long been accustomed to it, and they were also very old, and had long since become indifferent to life and death.
The two soon reached the end of the street. There was a cliff in front of them. They sat on a rock next to the cliff and just watched the sunset quietly.
"The sunset is so beautiful, but it's almost dusk!" Yin Ruolan murmured. Then she said to Li Mu: "Li Mu, look how beautiful this place is, but if there are no rules and no one to protect it, such a beautiful place will also become the best hideout for evil forces. By the way, what realm is the remnant of the Soul Devouring Sect in Miancheng at?"
"Haha~ Ruolan, don't think too much. Not all of them are so powerful. Besides, they may not be from the Soul Devouring Sect this time." Li Mu comforted her.
"Yeah." Yin Ruolan nodded.
"Brother, Sister Ruolan, it's time to eat. If you're not eating actively, there's something wrong with your mind." Chen Siqi ran over and shouted to the two of them.
"Haha, let's go back! It's cold in the mountains at night." Li Mu said.
Several people returned to the hotel, had dinner and went back to their rooms to rest early.
The next morning, everyone gathered and set out. There were only small roads in the mountains, and vehicles could not drive in. Everyone had to walk forward. The leader was a local man in his early 60s named Zhang Yan. Zhang Yan used to be a forest ranger in a nearby mountain forest. He took the initiative to ask to lead the way for Li Mu and his team.
Zhang Yan has worked as a forest ranger for most of his life. A few years ago, he broke his leg while patrolling the mountains and had to retire. However, the work intensity of forest rangers is high and the income is low. He couldn't find anyone to take over his job for a while. He was worried about the forest and lay in bed with a frown every day. His son Zhang Qiang couldn't bear to see him like this, so he took the initiative to ask to be a forest ranger.
Life was going on like this. His leg was slowly recovering, and his son was getting used to the job of a forest ranger and gradually fell in love with it. But a few days ago, many nearby villagers disappeared, and forest rangers including his son also lost contact. Zhang Yan dragged his limping legs and searched deep in the mountains for several days, but still found nothing. After learning that the people sent by the higher authorities to deal with the incident were in Qingshan Town, he went down the mountain overnight to the town to find Li Mu and his group, and volunteered to lead the way.
Seeing this poor old man, Yin Ruolan did not refuse. She knew that if they didn't take him with them, he would still go to the mountains to find his son by himself. It would be easier for them to take care of him if he went with them. Besides, it would be much more convenient to have someone who was familiar with the situation in the mountains to lead the way.
Seeing the old man limping in front of him, Li Mu stepped forward to stop him. While the old man was puzzled, Li Mu gathered a trace of immortal energy in his hands and gently stroked the old man's legs. He then asked the old man to try to walk a few steps. Zhang Yan was skeptical, but he lifted his legs and walked a few steps. Sure enough, his legs were restored to their original state, and everyone was amazed.
Zhang Yan reacted and kowtowed to Li Mu: "God, please save my son!"
Li Mu helped him up and said: "If your son is still alive, I will definitely rescue him."
Zhang Yan had never dared to think about whether Zhang Qiang was still alive. When he heard what Li Mu said, he had to hold back his tears and nodded. This was something he had to face forever, and now there was finally hope.
Li Mu took out another Dingyuan Pill and handed it to Zhang Yan for him to take. Zhang Yan's physical condition was very poor at the moment. He had not slept for several days and nights. He was thinking about his son all the time and was very angry.
Zhang Yan did not refuse. He naturally did not recognize Dingyuan Pills and thought it was just an ordinary pill. Now was not the time to be polite.
After Zhang Yan took Dingyuan Pills, his complexion improved immediately, and everyone continued on their way.
