Chapter 441 Soul-Separating Soup

The camp of the third flag of the Flame Tribe.

Chen Mu sat cross-legged on the mat, holding a palm-sized pottery figurine and looking at it from left to right.

The pottery figurine was a miniature version of a red-eyed ape, with four arms, protruding fangs, and two crystal-clear blood-red gems inlaid in its eyes.

Whenever he looked into those blood-red eyes, a malicious roar would suddenly appear in his mind.

"Could this pottery figurine ghost be made from the corpse of a red-eyed ape?" Chen Mu couldn't help scratching his head: "Then this is a bit weird."

He took out another human-shaped pottery figurine and looked at it carefully over and over again.

"Fortunately, this is just an ordinary clay puppet, otherwise..." Chen Mu couldn't help shuddering.

Both the soldier and ghost figurines came from Hongxiu.

The first one was looted last time, probably purchased in Jigu City. The second monkey soldier came from the other party's gas bag, probably recently exchanged for military merit.

"No wonder the Hai Camp is obsessed with water apes." He felt that his previous guess was correct. The Hai Camp was stationed here just to hunt water apes.

Shaking his head and not thinking about it anymore, he took out another bamboo tube that was as long as a palm and as thick as a child's wrist.

The bamboo tube also came from Hong Xiu's gas bag. It was sealed with a wooden stopper and beeswax. It was green all over, and three simple characters of Huangquan Yin were engraved in the middle.

Pulling out the wooden stopper, the liquid inside was as clear as water, and several thin silk threads were floating up and down, flashing silver light from time to time.

"Thinking about earning military merits to buy secret methods all day, but the secret methods came to you?" Chen Mu stared at the silver threads in the bamboo tube happily: "Hong Xiu is really a good person."

This liquid with silver silk threads is called the Soul-Separating Soup, which is similar to the jade slips of Qigong practitioners.

As long as you take it, you can get the true seeds of the secret method. With the Yin spirit power, you can gradually master the secret method.

Chen Mu looked at the water ape terracotta warriors, then at the green bamboo tube, and couldn't help grinning.

"With the terracotta warriors and the secret method, Hong Xiu is really rich if he wants to block the road and set up checkpoints."

"But now, I will get all the benefits, haha!"

...

A few days later.

Beside a bloody river that stretches as far as the eye can see.

Chen Mu drove the flame carriage close to the river bank, pulled a four-meter-high water ape half lying on the river bank out of the river, and threw it to the pile of corpses on the flame carriage.

Since he got the secret method of Huangquan Yin, he immediately stopped doing it and returned to the third flag of Yi with Shi Dechun and others.

On the surface, he was honestly carrying the water ape, but in fact, he was secretly practicing all day long.

Just like now, he pretended to search for corpses everywhere, but the Yin spirit power kept pouring into the palm of his right hand.

The palm of his hand kept emitting burning pain, but Chen Mu continued to practice without changing his face.

At a certain moment, a drop of transparent water the size of a mung bean suddenly appeared in front of him.

Chen Mu was delighted and quickly took out the small jade gourd that he had prepared long ago and collected the drop of Wangchuan River water.

"Finally it worked!"

He looked down at the palm of his right hand, and a ball of silver thread pattern that looked like a tangled yarn was engraved in the middle of his palm.

The silver thread pattern was the true seed of Huangquan Yin's secret method, which appeared after taking the Soul-Separating Soup. But if you want to really practice the secret method, you need to use the Yin Spirit's divine power to continuously water it.

He has been trying these days, but every time he injects divine power, it is like pouring water into a tangled water pipe.

The resistance is strong and it is difficult to pass through. Except for the burning pain in the palm of his hand, there is no other manifestation. He once thought that he had drunk a fake Soul-Separating Soup.

Today, he successfully condensed a drop of Wangchuan River water, which means that he has finally crossed the threshold.

He looked down at the pattern on his palm again.

The silver threads that were originally densely packed and almost completely covered the palm of his hand suddenly appeared in the center with a round blank spot the size of a mung bean. The silver thread that originally covered this place seemed to melt into the skin and drill into the palm.

With a thought, the gray wall emerged.

Huangquan Yin: 5/10000/first level;

"Sure enough..."

"Next, it's time to get familiar with it." Chen Mu smiled confidently.

He didn't rush to continue practicing, but stood by the river in a good mood, admiring the strange river in front of him.

The river water was as red as blood, and the river was wide and the edge was invisible. Amid the turbulent waves, gusts of river breeze blew, and the faint fragrance filled the nose. A light sniff gave people a refreshing feeling.

"Although it is indeed blood-colored, the name of the Blood River gives people a bit of a fierce impression." Chen Mu commented happily: "If it is called Red River, Red River or Dan River, it would be much better."

"Well... It is said that the Red-eyed Water Ape lives in the Blood River."

"So, the Red-eyed Water Ape is... a red-eyed water monkey?"

"Hehe..."

Chen Mu laughed.

Just as he was thinking about it, his scalp suddenly tightened, and a murderous aura suddenly attacked him, and he felt like he fell into an ice cave.

His heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the source of the murderous aura.

On the river surface far away from the river bank, a water ape appeared at some point. Most of its body was submerged in the water, leaving only its head above the water.

Unlike those behemoths, the water ape was only the size of a human at most. Its blood-red eyes were full of cold eyes. Chen Mu just looked at each other, as if he was frozen.

He shuddered suddenly and almost immediately evacuated to the ground, but he just blinked and when he looked again, he found that the other party had disappeared. It was like an illusion.

But Chen Mu knew that it was definitely not an illusion.

His good mood suddenly dissipated, and he immediately left the river bank.

On the surface, he pretended to continue searching for the water ape, but in fact he started a new round of training.

"After all, it's a battlefield, and there are dangers everywhere."

"As expected, we still have to hide in the camp as soon as possible."

...

Somewhere on the river bank.

Hong Xiu, Fei Yong and Niu Chengzong gathered together and looked at the people passing through the checkpoint from a distance.

"There has been no movement for several days. It seems that the man has really stopped." Niu Chengzong looked regretful.

"Not only did he not use his real name, I'm afraid he also changed his appearance at that time, otherwise there would not be any clues."

"General Hu said that he had an urgent task recently and couldn't get away, but I guess he didn't want to play with us anymore."

"If you want that guy to work harder, you have to pay another price." Niu Chengzong shook his head.

"Is it just like that?" Fei Yong was unwilling.

Of course it can't be just like that!

Hong Xiu had a blank expression on his face, staring coldly at the crowd in the distance.

Most of what he had looted in a month was used to open up the Yin soldiers' joints, and the rest was exchanged for a secret method and a terracotta warrior water ape.

But it was all taken away by that man. How could he be willing to accept that his hard work for several months was in vain?

"That person is quite powerful, and he is probably about to master the magical ghost pattern."

"He probably robbed the military merits to learn the secret technique, so that he can protect the law after leaving the Yanxing Department."

"So..." Fei Yong's eyes lit up.

"So, we should keep an eye on the auxiliary soldiers who left the Yanxing Department recently." Hong Xiu was confident.

"As long as we get this list, we can find this person sooner or later."

"Even if we find him, we can't do anything to him, right?" Niu Chengzong spread his hands helplessly.

"Just because we can't do anything now doesn't mean we can't do anything in the future." Hong Xiu smiled coldly.

"Just because we can't do anything to him doesn't mean others can't do anything to him."

"It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. As long as we know who it is... A-choo!"

Just when he was thinking about how to take revenge, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck and sneezed.

Hong Xiu looked puzzled. He had become a ghost, could he still catch a cold?

Hmm... Could it be that guy is going to rob me again? !

Hong Xiu suddenly froze all over.

Not far away, Chen Mu looked away from Hong Xiu and the other two with a look of regret, and drove the Flame Cart farther and farther away.

You can't just grab a sheep and pluck its wool.

That's so unfair!

Well...

Wait until its wool grows longer before plucking it.
