Behind the faint clouds, the moonlight was dim, as if covering a thin mantle.
In the night, on the southwest bank of Qianyue Lake, an isolated ridge of 100 feet stands quietly.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the distance, speeding towards the sky!
In just a few breaths, the man had already flown over the mountain and landed on the top of the lone ridge, letting his clothes flutter in the wind and making a hunting sound. He was natural and unrestrained, showing an unworldly appearance.
The person who came was a middle-aged man, with a plain appearance and a slightly old-fashioned appearance, with a sharp light in his eyes that was half transparent and half restrained. This man was dressed in green clothes, with long green hair half-tied and half-bundled. Behind him was a plain green wood sword, and he exuded an intimidating aura.
The man in green took a distant look at Qianyue Lake, and then closed his eyes attentively, as if he was exploring something.
Suddenly, the man's eyebrows trembled, and his figure instantly left the place, turning into a glimmering stream of light, shooting toward an island in the distance!
¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤
?? Nearly a thousand strange beasts gathered on two islands in Qianyue Lake. The ferocious and swift beast shadows were tirelessly carrying out siege operations, attacking and biting!
Those children of the Wood clan were surrounded by alien beasts on the lake island. They were all covered in blood and scarred, and some fell down from time to time. The old teacher Xi Mu Su tried his best to hold back the terrifying ape beast, trying to save the lives of the younger members of the tribe. However, under the fierce attack of the ape beast, he was still injured after all, and the situation was very critical!
Suddenly, a few miles away, a powerful sword energy came through the air!
The sword energy is as powerful as a flying rainbow! In an instant, it was close to the island, and in an instant it split into thousands of streams of light, like tiny green snakes with extremely thin bodies, attacking those strange beasts like lightning!
In the blink of an eye, all the low-level beasts that were attacking everyone within a few miles were killed! Only the three ape-shaped beasts each let out a painful moan, then quickly fled into the lake and fled away.
With just a burst of sword energy, the life and death crisis faced by everyone can be easily relieved in an instant!
Under the moon, a green shadow stood in the air, carrying a green wooden sword, showing the elegance of a strong man!
The man in green looked at the lake island below, and glanced at the children of the Wood clan. His eyes paused on Mu Chen for a moment, and there was a trace of unnoticeable concern in his eyes.
The children of the Mu clan on the island turned their heads and looked up. Although most of them had never seen the man in green, they vaguely guessed his identity at this time. For a moment, they forgot about the pain on their bodies, and their eyes and faces were full of fanatical reverence. !
Among all the people, Mu Chen was the only one who did not look at that person. He just slowly put down the wooden knife, then lowered his head, and a strange look appeared in the depths of his eyes, but it was fleeting.
"See the deputy master!" Mu Su suppressed his injuries, flew into the air, and said respectfully.
"I've met the deputy master!" Mu Qiyuan and Mu Lingxiang, who were far away, flew to the man in green one after another, with joy on their faces and very respectful expressions.
Mu Jian came galloping on the waves. Since he could not fly in the air, he could only land on the island, looked into the air with a solemn expression, and bowed to the man in green.
This man in green, who carries a wooden sword and is taught by Yougu to worship, is the deputy head of the Mu family - Mu Qianliu, and the only strong swordsman in the Mu family!
"What's going on?" Mu Qianliu looked at Mu Qiyuan and frowned slightly when he saw the unconscious Mu Wanyan in his hand.
"The eldest lady used the Patriarch's 'Konoha Light Sealing Technique', but it exceeded the endurance range, causing her consciousness to be damaged and she fell into a coma. Fortunately, it was not serious." While replying, Mu Qiyuan gently raised his arms forward. He lifted up and handed Mu Wanyan to Mu Lingxiang.
Suddenly, Mu Qiyuan seemed to remember something. He shook his head suddenly, glanced back and forth at the surrounding lake below several times, and said anxiously: "Strange! That small island is gone!"
Hearing this, Mu Qianliu raised his eyebrows, glanced at the undulating lake surface, and said coldly: "There seems to be a big problem with this lake! Let's go back to the shore first!" Before he finished speaking, he raised his two fingers, He made a few virtual circles in front of his eyes and executed a sword technique.
In an instant, there was a flash of light, and the cyan wooden sword suddenly flew out from behind him.
During the breath, the original three-foot wooden sword had turned into a huge wooden sword about six feet long and half a foot wide, hovering quietly above the island.
Tens of breaths later, the surviving members of the Wood clan on the two adjacent islands were all carried by the giant wooden sword and flew to the northwest shore of Qianyue Lake.
After some investigation, it was confirmed that a total of eleven people were killed in the attack by the alien beasts: one person from Baihua Valley; one person from Sword Valley; and the other nine were all late-stage Dream Maniacs from Nangu. In addition, Bian Yao and Mu Qingge, together with the building where they are located,The island disappeared without a trace, and its whereabouts are unknown.
In the dark night, on a narrow piece of grassland, more than twenty children of the Mu clan were sitting or lying. They were all injured to varying degrees and were receiving treatment from Mu Lingxiang one by one. The old teacher Xi Mu Su was seriously injured, so he sat quietly cross-legged and concentrated on healing his injuries.
Not far away from the crowd, three figures stood, talking about what happened previously.
"According to what you said, this matter is indeed puzzling and full of doubts!" ??Mu Qianliu was silent for a while, and the look on his face became more solemn.
"This happened too suddenly, without any warning in advance, and it caught people off guard. The appearance of those strange beasts is also extremely unusual!" Mu Qiyuan said with a gloomy face and a frown.
"Although no human traces have been found before, we can still feel that there are human factors involved!" Mu Jian suddenly interjected.
"Where is the disappeared island? Take me there." Mu Qianliu pondered for a moment, then suddenly spoke, and then ordered Mu Jian: "You stay here and guard!"
Immediately, Mu Qianliu followed Mu Qiyuan and flew away, and his figure quickly disappeared under the night.
Time was short, and the two of them arrived somewhere above Qianyue Lake and floated in mid-air.
At this time, the waves on the lake surface have not completely stopped, but they have gradually calmed down.
"Can you confirm it's here?" Mu Qianliu asked suspiciously, looking down at the lake.
"It's roughly in this direction, and the error range will not exceed ten feet!" Mu Qiyuan turned his head and looked at several islands far and near, and then replied.
Mu Qianliu said no more, closed his eyes, released his consciousness, and explored the bottom of the lake. Ten breaths later, his figure suddenly froze, and then he opened his eyes, and the expression on his face became ugly.
Seeing this situation, Mu Qiyuan hesitated for a moment and asked aloud: "Has the deputy master discovered anything?"
Mu Qianliu said with a cold face, "There is a strange barrier of flowing water two miles below the lake. My consciousness is blocked and I can no longer look down!" After saying that, he floated down and fell. , his feet stepped on the lake, and his body slowly undulated with the waves.
Silently, Mu Qianliu raised his right hand, and the wooden sword flew out from behind. He grasped the hilt with his backhand, turned his wrist, and suddenly thrust the sword into the lake!
Instantly, several green streams of light sprang out from the wooden sword and shot towards the dark bottom of the lake quickly!
After a while, Mu Qianliu slowly stood up, and the wooden sword automatically flew back behind him. He didn't say a word, his eyebrows were solemn and solemn, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
Mu Qiyuan descended from mid-air, Zheng Se asked: "Did the deputy master detect anything?"
"That layer of flowing water barrier is very strange. Although my sword energy flow can barely break through, the spiritual thoughts attached to it have been greatly weakened, and I still cannot explore deep into the bottom of the lake! However, there seems to be a powerful force hidden at the bottom of the lake. Smells dangerous!" Mu Qianliu frowned solemnly, as if saying to himself.
"I wonder if there are any clues about the island under this lake?"
"It has not been found, it may be deeper."
"It seems like, with their level of cultivation, there should be no possibility of survival!" Mu Qiyuan turned to stare at the lake, sighing, with a look of regret on his face.
"The reason why that small island disappeared is still unknown. There must be an inexplicable mystery in it! Although the chance of survival is slim, this possibility cannot be ruled out. The two of them can only be regarded as missing for the time being. It depends on luck. Yes." After Mu Qianliu thought for a moment, his expression returned to calm.
"In that case, what should we do next?" Mu Qiyuan asked.
"Based on what has been discovered so far, even I don't have the slightest confidence to deal with the unknown entity at the bottom of the lake. This world experience ends here. Return to Mu County as soon as possible. I will investigate this matter in detail later. To prevent any eventuality, we must leave this place overnight!" Mu Qianliu said in a deep voice.
Not long after, the two flew away from the lake and returned to the lakeshore where everyone was.
In less than half an hour, under the leadership of their instructor, a group of Mu clan disciples who had recovered from their injuries left the shore of Qianyue Lake and hurried toward the southwest in the moonlight.
After everyone left, Mu Qianliu returned to the sky above Qianyue Lake, carefully inspected the area near and around the incident, and finally escaped into the night sky and disappeared into the moonlight.
