Chapter 144: Green Cloud Beast
Lin Mu stood in the space of the rotating moon, still in shock.
Cold sweat ran down his back. It was really dangerous just now.
Thousands of water arrows came silently and unexpectedly. If Lin Mu had not been alert, he would have been drowned by the water arrows.
Was it premeditated or unintentional? Where was the other party hiding?
These two questions kept echoing in Lin Mu's mind.
But after thinking hard for a long time, he gave up dejectedly without getting any answers.
The other party's origin is too mysterious!
Lin Mu had no way to guess. It was impossible to guess the other party's true strength just by relying on thousands of water arrows.
Although "Water Arrow Technique" is only a low-level technique, usually only Qi Refining disciples can use it, but to release thousands of water arrows at once, at least hundreds of Qi Refining disciples are needed. If the other party really has so many people, Lin Mu cannot have no discovery.
But if it is said that it was done by a high-level cultivator, it is extremely unreasonable. It would be extremely difficult for a cultivator in the Jindan stage to release thousands of water arrows at once, not to mention the Lingji stage.
If the other party was really a Jindan stage cultivator, a high-level spell would be enough to kill Lin Mu, and there would be no need to go through so much trouble.
What exactly happened?
All kinds of doubts lingered in Lin Mu's mind, lingering.
Lin Mu hurriedly released his spiritual sense and looked at the place where he had stood before.
Thousands of water arrows shot at the place where Lin Mu had stood before, and the ground had already been riddled with holes, which was horrible to look at.
Lin Mu looked at the bumpy ground and felt a palpitation. If he had not dodged in time just now, he would have been hit by thousands of water arrows and would have been turned into meat paste by now.
At the same time, Lin Mu was also thankful that he had not moved his parents and the stone out of the Xuanyue space at that time. The overwhelming water arrows could not be dodged at all. In the critical situation at that time, Lin Mu was not sure that he could put his parents and the stone into the Xuanyue space again in time.
If not, Lin Mu really couldn't imagine what the consequences would be.
If it were someone else, any Foundation Establishment cultivator, or even a Spiritual Silence cultivator, would find it difficult to escape from such a dense attack!
Lin Mu had not found any people before, and thought this place was quiet and peaceful, but now it seemed that there was a hidden murderous intent.
It was obviously a sneak attack just now. The opponent did not show his face or say anything, but launched a fatal attack right away.
Lin Mu had visited dozens of cave paradises before, and had never encountered such a situation. He could not help but feel angry.
After that wave of water arrows, everything returned to calm. Lin Mu disappeared inexplicably, and the opponent did not send anyone to check.
After the white fog rolled for a while, everything returned to normal.
Everything just now seemed to have never happened.
This gave Lin Mu an illusion. Could it be that the attack just now was his own illusion?
Weird!
Everything was out of common sense and impossible to guess.
Lin Mu released his spiritual consciousness and paid close attention to the situation outside, hoping that the situation would change.
At this time, a burning smell suddenly floated into Lin Mu's nose.
The burning smell was pungent and unpleasant, and Lin Mu was almost defeated.
He was startled and looked back hurriedly.
In the open space in front of the hut, Shitou sacrificed a bronze furnace and was using the Zhongsun Fire to refine the elixir.
The burning smell came from the bronze furnace!
The overflowing burning smell made Lin Mu collapse.
Shitou hurriedly drove away his spiritual power, and the Zhongsun Fire suddenly disappeared.
This furnace of elixir was declared scrapped without any surprise!
Shitou turned his head and looked at Lin Mu with an apologetic look on his face.
Lin Mu was furious, but he still managed a smile on his face and comforted him: "Don't worry, take your time, it will be fine."
Shitou smiled, and skillfully poured out the residue in the furnace. He reached out and took out another material from the storage bag. The "Red Fire Art" was performed, and a ball of pale white flame appeared at the bottom of the furnace.
This bronze furnace was given to Shitou by Lin Mu. He had been looking for a blessed place and had no time to make pills. It happened that Shitou was interested in learning to make pills, so he simply gave his furnace to Shitou.
If he wanted to make pills again in the future, he might have to buy a new furnace.
Lin Mu sighed, turned around, and continued to observe the movements outside.
It was quiet outside, there was no movement, not even a trace of wind, and the white mist was no longer surging.
After a while, everything was still the same.
Thousands of holes on the ground reminded Lin Mu that everything just now was real.
No one came out to check, and no one spoke. Everything was so quiet that it was a little scary.
Lin Mu waited for another incense stick of time, and he couldn't help but feel irritated.
At this time, another strong smell of burning came quietly.
Lin Mu couldn't bear it anymore, looked at the stone, and said: "Focus, don't be distracted."
After speaking, his consciousness moved, and he immediately sacrificed the Five Elements Ring, and the Black Turtle Shield also flew out of the storage bag. With a push of his spiritual power, a gray shield tightly protected him. As if he was worried, he sacrificed the Death Shadowless Needle.
Cloud-stepping boots, Five Elements Ring, Black Turtle Shield, Death Shadowless Needle, Lin Mu's magic weapons are all out!
After waiting for a long time, Lin Mu decided to take the initiative to attack.
He had been hiding in the Xuanyue space without even seeing what the other party looked like, and he would never give up.
No matter what, he had to meet this opponent he had never met.
If he really couldn't defeat him, he would have a way out with the Xuanyue Pendant.
Lin Mu's figure flashed, disappeared from the original place, and appeared where he was originally standing.
As soon as he came out, Lin Mu suddenly urged his spiritual power, and the light of his cloud-stepping boots flashed. Lin Mu's figure was like lightning, flying towards the island.
Deep in the jungle on the island was a huge open space with dense rocks and reefs.
Hundreds of green small beasts were walking back and forth on the ground, and several larger green small beasts were flying in the air, circling back and forth.
Lin Mu suddenly appeared here, and the green small beasts in the air immediately became alert. After a long cry, they opened their mouths and sprayed seven or eight water arrows.
Hundreds of green beasts on the ground had also discovered Lin Mu, and they all flew up into the air, spraying two or three water arrows from their mouths.
Thousands of water arrows were coming again!
Lin Mu's heart trembled, and he immediately disappeared from the spot.
After entering the Xuanyue Space, Lin Mu's face showed a touch of joy.
Just now he finally saw the appearance of the place, and his previous guess was completely wrong.
There was no one here at all, and it was these green beasts that attacked him just now.
Lin Mu saw the cultivation level of these green beasts at a glance. Except for the three or five beasts flying in the air at the beginning, which were second-level monsters, the remaining hundreds were all first-level monsters.
The strength of the second-level monsters was only equivalent to the initial stage of foundation building, and the strength of the first-level monsters was only equivalent to the Qi Refining Stage.
What kind of monsters these were, Lin Mu had no idea.
The Yuling Sect was the one who knew the most about monsters in the Tianxiao Realm. Lin Mu remembered that he had killed Ren Hong of the Yuling Sect before. A jade slip was once obtained from him, which seemed to contain records about various monsters.
Lin Mu hurriedly took out the jade slip from his storage bag, input spiritual power into it, and after searching for a while, a smile appeared on his face.
It turned out that this monster was called the Green Cloud Beast, which had the ability to fly at low altitude. It was a first-level water monster and could spit out the "Water Arrow Technique" from its mouth. Its individual strength was average.
The jade slip recorded that this Green Cloud Beast was a gregarious monster. Once it was dispatched, there would be hundreds or even thousands of them. Not to mention the Foundation Establishment cultivators, even the ordinary Spiritual Silence cultivators would find it difficult to resist such an overwhelming attack.
Lin Mu smiled slightly. It was difficult for ordinary Spiritual Silence cultivators to resist, but not him.
Although he had just established his foundation, his high-grade magic weapon was enough to compete with the Spiritual Silence cultivators. The existence of the Xuanyue Pei made him worry-free.
With all these advantages, what was he afraid of?
This Biyun beast is a water-based monster and likes to live in groups. Ordinary people really can't deal with it.
But Lin Mu is different. He has the third-grade spiritual fire Zhongsun Fire, and he can fight these Biyun beasts.
Lin Mu's consciousness moved and found that this wave of water arrows had fallen. He was happy and was about to go out.
At this time, another pungent smell of burning came!
Shitou failed to refine the elixir again!
Lin Mu was helpless and sighed that he was too impatient. He asked Shitou to refine the second-grade spiritual elixir right away, which was indeed a bit of a rush.
Many times, although the basics are simple, they are very important.
Shitou's aptitude for refining elixirs is okay, but his foundation is unstable, just like a castle in the air that cannot last long.
"Shitou, stop and rest for a while." Lin Mu turned around and said, "Why don't you come with me to kill monsters?"
Shitou had failed to make pills many times, and he was upset for a long time. He was upset and had no place to vent. When he heard Lin Mu say this, his face suddenly lit up. He quickly put away the pill furnace and asked, "What monster? Is it powerful?"
Lin Mu smiled and said, "It's just a first-level monster. It's not that powerful. The only problem is that they are group monsters. If they attack together, it's hard to resist without a good defensive magic weapon."
Shitou hurriedly sacrificed his Zhenjin Sword and Jin Yuandun said, "It's just a first-level monster, similar to a disciple in the Qi Refining Stage. I'm already in the Foundation Establishment Stage and have two top-grade magic weapons, so there's no need to be afraid of it."
Lin Mu nodded: "That being said, this is your first fight after all, so you still need to be careful. When you go out, don't run around, and don't leave me more than three feet away. If you really get into danger, I can rescue you in time."
Shitou said, "Just follow the master's arrangements, I'll do whatever you want."
Lin Mu's face was stern, and his consciousness moved, and he immediately took Shitou out of the Xuanyue Space.
As soon as he came outside, he saw hundreds of green cloud beasts flying in the air not far away.
"Attack!" Lin Mu called Shitou and took the lead in offering the Five Elements Ring.
The Five Elements Ring instantly grew several times larger in the air. As soon as Lin Mu cast a spell, the fourth level of the "Red Fire Sutra" was cast. At the same time, Lin Mu activated the "Small Five Elements Formation" in the Five Elements Ring. With a loud bang, a huge white fireball with a diameter of more than three feet burst out.
As soon as the fireball came out, the temperature around it suddenly rose a lot, and the white mist in the air was evaporated.
Lin Mu pointed his finger, and the huge fireball flew towards the beasts with a roar.
When Lin Mu and Shitou came out, the beasts were ready for battle.
Led by a larger Green Cloud Beast, hundreds of Green Cloud Beasts spit out water arrows at the same time.
This time, there were more water arrows than the previous two times, nearly two thousand in number!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Many water arrows sank into the fireball, but more water arrows also attacked Shitou and Lin Mu.
