C7 To be Plotted Against
In a pavilion at the periphery of Cloud Mountain, there were six youths, three youths, and three young girls.
The three youths were Divine Knife Sect disciples called Wang Hao, Wu Jun and Zhao Wen; the three young girls were Blue Moon Villa disciples called Bi Yue, Miao Si and Ya Qing.
"Bi Yue, it's almost noon. The few of us can deal with that beast by ourselves, but why wait for that brat to get more spirit liquid?" Wang Hao said impatiently.
"Since he found the spirit liquid pool first, he should have one." Bi Yue looked at the intersection far away and replied expressionlessly.
"He's just a disciple from a small clan, what qualifications does he have to share the spirit liquid pool with us? He wants us to wait for him here." Wang Hao muttered and suddenly raised his eyebrows. "Bi Yue, it can't be that you have taken a fancy to that brat, right?"
"Wang Hao, if you continue talking nonsense, do you believe that I won't rip your mouth apart?" Bi Yue's beautiful eyes narrowed as she glared at Wang Hao.
"Senior apprentice-sister, he's here." Ya Qing pointed at the intersection.
At the intersection, two elegant youths walked over with quick steps. They were Mu Yun and Mu Hai.
It turned out that when Mu Hai went out into the Cloud Mountain, he accidentally found a pool of Spirit Liquid in a cave. Wang Hao and Bi Yue, who came later, also discovered it.
However, there lived a Red Tooth Pig at the first level of Martial Essence Stage in the cave, and the three of them were only at the ninth level of Martial Spirit Stage. They did not dare to lay their hands on the coarse skin and thick flesh of the Red Tooth Pig, so they decided to go back to their respective sects to look for two people to deal with the Red Tooth Pig together before distributing them.
Moreover, they had already agreed that no one could tell the higher ups of the sect about this matter. Otherwise, the elixir would have nothing to do with them and they could only find the two people they trusted the most.
Mu Hai, who had returned to Mu Family, heard that Mu Yun's Dantian had recovered, so he asked Mu Yun if he was willing to come along. Mu Hai, who had returned to Mu Family, heard that Mu Yun's Dantian had recovered, and asked if he was willing to come along.
"Ha, to think that he actually brought only one person, and is even a kid with the seventh level of Martial Spirit. A small family is a small family." Wang Hao sneered, "Later on, we will distribute the spirit liquid according to how much effort we put in."
"It's too early to think about this right now. I should think about how to kill the Red Tooth Pig first." Bi Yue glanced sideways at Wang Hao before looking at Mu Yun, "My name is Bi Yue, this is my Junior Sister Ya Qing, Miao Si."
The two girls smiled at Mu Yun. Although it wasn't considered a devastatingly beautiful woman, she was still a pretty girl from a small family.
"My name is Mu Yun." Mu Yun also gave them a friendly smile as he introduced himself.
"Let's go, it's not like it's a blind date. What are you introducing me for, it's a waste of time." Wang Hao urged impatiently, then took the other two Divine Knife Sect disciples and walked out, heading towards the Cloud Mountain Range.
"Senior Sister, I'm a little hungry. We still have four hours of journey. Why don't we eat something before going?" Ya Qing's stomach gurgled as she looked awkwardly at Bi Yue.
"Fine." Bi Yue smiled at Ya Qing and then looked at Wang Hao, "Let's eat something first and discuss how we're going to deal with the Red Tooth Pig later." Then he took out some rations from the Storage Bag and gave them to Ya Qing and Miao Si.
"What a lazy ass." Wang Hao said impatiently, then reluctantly turned back and walked over, "What's so good about dry rations? You have to eat meat no matter what."
"You." Wang Hao pointed at Mu Hai and then at Mu Yun, "And you, you two country bumpkins, go catch a wild animal. Who told you to come so late, otherwise, I would already be in the spirit liquid pool."
"What did you say?" Mu Yun's eyes became serious as he looked at Wang Hao. He only had the seventh level of Martial Spirit Stage right now, but he was not really afraid of Wang Hao who had the highest level of Martial Spirit Stage.
"What, you're just a kid with the seventh level of Martial Spirit, do you dare to fight me?" Wang Hao looked at Mu Yun with disdain.
"Forget it, Mu Yun." Mu Hai put his hand on Mu Yun's shoulder, shook his head at him and said, "Let's go catch a wild animal."
In the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Mu Yun and Mu Hai returned with a wild deer slung over their shoulders.
"Let me help you. Girls are better at cooking." Ya Qing went up to Mu Yun and his companion, and together with Mu Yun, she skinned and peeled off their internal organs before setting up a fire. Ya Qing took out a large amount of seasonings and started roasting the wild deer.
After a while, the wild deer were roasted until it was sizzling oil. The fragrance permeated the air, causing one's appetite to stir upon smelling it.
Wang Hao walked over and cut off more than half of the meat. Then he walked to the side with his two juniors and started to eat heartily.
"Let's eat too." Ya Qing tore off a piece of meat and passed it to Bi Yue. "Senior Sister, this is for you."
Bi Yue took the venison and used her fingers to tear off small pieces of the venison before stuffing them into her mouth. She chewed them carefully as she said, "Junior Sister Ya Qing's cooking skills are great. Every time you roast the meat, it's always a pleasure."
"Of course, all of us at Blue Moon Villa know that the food cooked by Senior Sister Ya Qing is the most fragrant." Miao Si also tore off a piece of venison and began to nibble on it.
"It's not as good as you say." Ya Qing's expression was a little unnatural. She tore off another two pieces of meat and handed them to Mu Yun and Wang Chao. "You guys eat too."
In half a quarter of an hour, all that was left of the deer was its skeleton. The few of them stood up and prepared to set off.
"Senior Sister, I'm feeling a little dizzy." Miao Si, who had just taken two steps forward, staggered and her body went limp, falling to the ground.
"Miao Si." Bi Yue quickly reached out to help him, but realized that her hands were tired. Her body also went limp and she collapsed onto the ground.
"The venison is poisonous." Mu Yun felt something was wrong. He looked at Mu Hai, but Mu Hai had also fallen to the ground. Then Mu Yun also felt the world spinning around him. He lost his balance and fell down unconscious.
… ….
"My head hurts."
After an unknown period of time, Mu Yun's mouth was parched, his head felt dizzy, and his entire body felt weak. He slowly opened his eyes and used all his strength to prop himself up.
They were in a cave. The surroundings were dimly lit. Mu Hai, Bi Yue, and Wu Tie were lying beside them, but they were nowhere to be seen.
"Mu Hai, Mu Hai …" Mu Yun shouted twice and couldn't shout anymore. He felt like he was only left with the strength to breathe.
Closing his eyes and looking inside his body, Mu Yun found that the meridians connected to his Dantian were blocked, and he was unable to move the spiritual energy out of his Dantian. However, the substance that blocked his meridians was slowly being absorbed into the broken sword in his dantian. At this rate, in another fifteen minutes, his meridians would open up again.
"It seems like we have been set up by someone." Mu Yun frowned as he looked around. The cave was like a bottle, deep and wide. However, the entrance was very small and could only fit two people side by side.
At this moment, the sound of heavy footsteps came from outside the cave. Mu Yun's pupils shrank as he stared at the entrance of the cave. He felt a sense of ominous foreboding.
Not long after, a huge body appeared at the cave entrance. It was the Red Tooth Pig.
This pig was about one Zhang long, half a Zhang tall, it was completely dark brown, the leather armor on its body was rough and uneven, on it grew needle-like hair, slightly opened its mouth, revealing two sharp and very smooth red teeth, the corner of its mouth was still dripping with saliva, its eyes were also scarlet red, flashing with a faint red light as it greedily looked at Mu Yun and the others.
At this point, Mu Yun finally understood why he did not see Wang Hao and the others. It felt like they had bewitched them and used them to lure the Red Tooth Pig away so that they could get the spirit liquid.
Mu Yun's scalp was tingling. He did not want to be food in the Red Tooth Pig's mouth, and even more so, he did not want to be a resource used by Wang Hao and the rest. However, there was nothing he could do.
Perhaps dying without knowing might have been a happy thing, but for the current him, it was a kind of extravagant hope. He could only rely on the broken sword to absorb the blockages a little faster, a little faster.
The Red Tooth Pig exhaled white smoke with a "pfft pfft pfft" sound, and then opened its thick thighs, approaching Mu Yun and the others step by step. With every step, it would leave a deep footprint on the ground, and with every step, its iron-whip-like tail would sway behind it, producing a "whoosh" sound.
Mu Yun felt that every step the Red Tooth Pig took seemed to step on his heart, making him feel like breathing became more and more difficult as the Red Tooth Pig got closer.
"What should we do? What should I do? " Mu Yun's mind raced, but no matter how much he thought about it, he could not come up with anything. He could only watch as the Red Tooth Pig approached step by step.
