"Eh? Why was there a fire there again? Could it be that someone is exploring the Immortal Ancient Forest? "

Mu Xuan, who was about to rest, noticed the light coming from the fire ahead and wondered where it was coming from.

If there was someone else, then it would be fine to ask them for directions. However, once it was one of those teams, it would be hard to say. He had heard from his mother that most of these teams were desperate criminals, and some were even devils that killed without blinking an eye.

Therefore, Mu Xuan had to consider it carefully.

After thinking for a long time, Mu Xuan found a strange problem. There were almost no demonic beasts nearby.

"How come there aren't any demonic beasts?"

Clapping his forehead, Mu Xuan laughed, "I remember now! But in the Immortal Ancient Forest, there are only three possibilities for them to be able to move about freely. One is that there will be a large number of people gathering there, and the other is that it belongs to the territory of a powerful Demon Beast. Third, it will be the best, and also the most dangerous, for a powerful expert to pass away in meditation. "

Thinking about the characteristics of the three situations that his father had told him, Mu Xuan realized that it was very similar to the first case where humans gathered in large numbers.

There was a flame not far away, which was the best proof. It was far from the second type, because he did not sense any demon beasts nearby. The demon beasts that owned their own territory would leave their own auras in every corner of the territory as a deterrence; there was no formation fluctuation, and there was nothing special about it, so it was not a place where the strong died.

Overall, the fire ahead was a way for people to prevent demon beasts. It was a place where humans gathered, not an adventure team.

After thinking this through, Mu Xuan took out some food from the storage ring Liu Rong gave him and ate until he was full.

After that, he headed towards the source of the light and walked four to five miles in a steady manner. Mu Xuan didn't discover any demon beasts, which confirmed his suspicions.

However, Mu Xuan couldn't figure out which village the human race was in. However, it was definitely one of the three that his mother had shown him on the map. Otherwise, it wouldn't have emitted such a strong flame.

Further ahead, Mu Xuan found a small hill that was more than a hundred meters tall. The flames were radiating from the other side of the mountain.

Mu Xuan could even hear the conversations of the people. He was even more certain that this was a place where humans gathered.

However, due to his previous experience with the small mountain, Mu Xuan became more cautious. He didn't climb the mountain immediately. Instead, he circled around the mountain to see if there was anything special about it.

However, after walking around for two to three miles, what was in front of him was still a small mountain. However, there were some that were tall and some that were low, some that were only five hundred meters, and some that were not lower than a hundred meters.

After observing for a long time, Mu Xuan was sure that this was not a trap but a real gathering place. Perhaps it was a place with a lot of people, so he chose a random path and began to climb the mountain.

"Stop!" Who was it that had come? "Why are you so secretive?"

Before he could take two steps, Mu Xuan was stopped by a group of men who were hiding in the dense forest. They lined up in a row and blocked Mu Xuan's path.

First, they were scared. Then, thinking about how their village was often patrolled at night to increase their safety, this place was no exception. These people should be patrolling, right? Thus, he heaved a sigh of relief.

"I am a passerby lost in the forest. Just now, I followed the light of the fire and wanted to spend the night here. I also wanted to ask where this place is."

Upon hearing that it was a passerby lost in the forest, the group of people relaxed their vigilance.

For them, as long as it wasn't a Demon Beast or a bandit, they would come at night. Many people who had lost their way would often follow the flames and light up such a big fire in the village to guide the lost.

One of the older men in the group walked out and cautiously asked, "Can you tell me where you came from? Recently, there have been many robbers and demon beasts here, so we have to be careful. A patrol like ours, the village has organized ten of them! It was the other two who sent the message just now, saying that there's someone sneaking around and asking everyone to be careful. "

Mu Xuan bowed and said, "Uncle, I come from the village. I need to go somewhere, but I was chased by seven Rank 3 Demonic Beasts in the forest and got lost because I ran too fast."

Without waiting for Mu Xuan to continue, the man laughed, "So it's someone from the mountain village! This way, we can be at ease, you guys keep us on the lookout, I will bring little brother back to the village to meet the three sirs! "

The middle-aged man led Mu Xuan away. Mu Xuan had been on guard, but he felt relieved when he sensed that the middle-aged man was only at the intermediate tier. Even if there was a problem, he was confident that he could handle it.

The middle-aged man was familiar with Mu Xuan and chatted with him nonstop along the way.

Mu Xuan learned from their conversation that the middle-aged man was called Xu San, the guardian of a road in the village and a rare expert. This village was one of the things his mother had pointed out to him, the Xu family concave.

The village had a population of more than four thousand and was located in a small mountain basin. This was also the reason why Mu Xuan had followed the mountain for two to three miles.

Because of this, it could prevent the disturbance of the demon beasts. However, the hidden trouble was that once the demon beasts broke through, they would rush up the mountain, and then rush into the village from the mountain, which would bring disaster to the people of the village.

"Oh right, big brother Li, why do you trust me so much? You brought me in without waiting for me to finish my introductions? "

Originally, Mu Xuan wanted to call him uncle Xu San, but Xu San refused to do so. He had no choice but to call him brother. Mu Xuan could only go along with his plan, but he also liked this sort of straightforward attitude.

Hearing Mu Xuan's question, Xu San smiled and said, "Because you are from the mountain village! There were often two seniors in the village! One night and one day, they came to search for things in the forest. However, they often helped us, and they often left us some medicinal herbs, cultivation materials, and demon beast corpses.

"In other words, you respect everyone in the village?"

Mu Xuan probably knew who the two people Xu San was talking about were. It should be his father, Mu Hong, at night and his mother, Liu Rong, at daytime.

Xu San nodded solemnly and said with a hint of interest, "That's right! They have helped us too many people, so everyone in the village respects the people who come from the mountain village. Other than the two seniors, almost no one from the village comes or passes by. "

"Then how can you be so sure that I am from the real mountain village? What if it's a fake? "

"You can't be a fake, those fake ones won't be as polite as you. Those fake ones are all extremely arrogant, but they were all beaten away by us."

"Oh!"

He looked like he'd come to a realization, but Mu Xuan was also impressed. This Xu family's concave man was really shrewd.

How could he know that Xu San saw that he looked similar to Mu Hong? Plus, when he said that he came from the village, Xu San had a guess, but he still told him about the fake guy that often appeared and the consequences.

"We're here, little brother. Our three lords are waiting for you inside!" You can go in. I'll go back and keep watch. "

After bowing again, he said with gratitude, "Thank you, Big Brother Xu, for leading the way!"

When Mu Xuan looked up, Xu San had already disappeared. Mu Xuan knew that Xu San was hiding something from him. At least, he was not slow! He must have cultivated a movement technique.

He had also trained during the five days he had been preparing. The only difference was that the effect wasn't too great, and the time it took was too short.

Three elders stood respectfully outside a building. When they saw Mu Xuan walking over, they respectfully said, "Greetings, Envoy!"

Mu Xuan was stunned. It looked like the three old men knew him! It even seemed like it was waiting for him.

He quickly returned the greeting, "My lord, you are being too courteous. I was just lost in the forest."

Seeing that Mu Xuan was nervous and less talkative than they had expected, they nodded at each other and led him into the building.

After entering, Mu Xuan realized that the cultivation bases of the three old men weren't low. They were all at the peak of the agile. As long as they had a stroke of luck, they could break through to the Invigorated Meridian Realm at any time.

He had not expected the Xu family to have such an expert.

As the host was seated, Mu Xuan was placed at the head of the table, which made him uncomfortable for a long time. However, because of the insistence of the three elders, Mu Xuan had no choice but to concede.

After someone served tea, Mu Xuan asked uneasily: "Seniors, what do you mean? Why do I not understand at all! "What envoy?"

An old man cupped his fists towards Mu Xuan and asked, "Is little brother the son of Senior Liu?"

"Senior Liu, my mother's surname is Liu, and her cultivation is higher than yours. But you guys are much older than mother! How can you call her senior? "

In the journey of cultivation, not only is senior Liu's cultivation profound, he is also our savior. This senior is also worthy of your help, we three have been trapped in the Spiritual Movement Stage for over thirty years, and if not for senior Liu's guidance ten years ago, we would not have had our current cultivation, but even so, we did not have the signs of a breakthrough. Three days ago, senior Liu came to inform us that an envoy would come and help us improve our cultivation!

The corner of his mouth twitched as he thought, "My mother really would find trouble with me. How could I possibly find the perfect opportunity for them to break through?" He hadn't even broken through yet!

Seeing Mu Xuan's discontent, the other elder quickly tried to smooth things over. "Emissaries are worthy of being the descendants of Senior Liu. To have such cultivation base at such a young age, they must be a dragon amongst men in the future! "To roam the Nine Heavens."

"Yes, yes!" We have to bitterly cultivate for a sixty-year cycle to reach our current cultivation level. For our emissary to have such a high cultivation level at such a young age, I believe it won't be long before he surpasses us.

However, Mu Xuan remained silent and continued to ponder.

His mother had already explored the path. She wouldn't tell others that he had helped them break through for no reason. There must be a reason behind it, but what was the reason? But he himself could not think of any.

A thought suddenly flashed through Mu Xuan's mind. He thought about the beast tide that Mu Hong and the others had been talking about recently.

That's right! Since the monster tide had arrived, the people here would definitely not be able to safely cross it. Furthermore, mother specifically told them that the people they met along the way would first gather at the mountain village, before going to take refuge in the Immortal Ancient Village.

The breakthrough that his mother had mentioned should be to let him tell them that the beast tide was about to arrive and that he would hurry to the mountain village to meet them. There, his mother would definitely help them break through, but they would be grateful to him and would be of assistance to him in the future.

Thinking about this, Mu Xuan finally understood Liu Rong's painstaking efforts. Giving away charcoal in the midst of snow was indeed memorable! These simple people would stubbornly be grateful to him.

"Have you three seniors heard of the beast tide?"

He was just thinking about how to make Mu Xuan speak, but when he heard about the beast tide, the color in his body changed.
