Nemesis

Chapter 444 Nemesis

As the sun sets, a red sun illuminates the flaming desert with a fiery glow. Qin Mu stands on the head of the dragon unicorn and transforms his own vitality into the Vermillion Bird vitality, tempering his flying swords and deepening the rune marks in the swords.

He looked down and saw that Xiong Qier had fallen asleep in Long Qilin's ear. There was no wind there, and Long Qilin covered his own ear hole with his ear, guarding the little girl very well.

"Fat Dragon is really good."

Qin Mu secretly praised in his heart: "This fat guy is thoughtful. The taste of Red Fire Spirit Pill and Fire Element Divine Yuan Pill mixed together is indeed not good. I will help him improve the taste when we find a place to stay."

Long Qilin suddenly said: "Master, there is an oasis ahead!"

Qin Mu looked forward and saw an oasis. He said, "I wonder if there is water there. I can bear to be without water for a day, but I'm afraid Qi'er can't bear it."

The Flame Desert was extremely hot, and there was not a trace of moisture in the air. Even with the Black Tortoise Qi, Qin Mu was unable to produce water. He had never worried about the water problem before, but now with Xiong Qier by his side, he had to consider drinking water.

After a while, Long Qilin arrived at the oasis and saw several snow-white sheepskin tents set up by the lake. Some people dressed in Western clothes were making a fire and cooking. Long Qilin looked around vigilantly and said, "I don't know if Pangong Tso has escaped here. Master, be careful. He was seriously injured and shouldn't have run far."

Qin Mu jumped down, opened Long Qilin's ears, and took the sleeping Xiong Qier out. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm here. Even if he's nearby, he won't dare to come over. If he dares to come, we can just get rid of him."

A group of Western foreigners with their heads turbaned in the oasis looked at them one after another, their faces changed drastically, but they dared not say a word.

Qin Mu looked around and saw that most of these people were men, their faces tanned red from the wind and sun. There were also some large two-legged yellow sheep in the oasis, and next to the yellow sheep were some goods, most of which were from traveling merchants.

Because although the bipedal yellow sheep is a very fast animal and has a strong load-bearing capacity, it is very bumpy when running, so only merchants will choose to use this animal to transport goods.

Although riding a two-legged gazelle is a bit hard and bumpy, it can transport more goods.

"Elder, my younger sister has fallen asleep. Can we get a tent?" Qin Mu came to an old businessman and asked.

The old businessman nodded quickly and said, "Please use it."

Qin Mu thanked her and took her to the tent. It was very cold in the desert at night, but the sheepskin tent was warm and there were some thick wool blankets. Qin Mu covered her with a blanket. Xiong Qier was drowsy. She pulled the blanket with her two little hands and turned over. She smacked her mouth twice. She must be hungry, but she didn't wake up.

Qin Mu walked out of the tent. The sun had already set and the bonfire by the lake was crackling.

"Elder, are you merchants from the West?"

The others looked at Qin Mu's expression and didn't dare to speak. The old businessman in the lead said quickly: "We are from a small country in the West and are going to Daxu to do business. Is this brother from Daxu?"

Qin Mu laughed in silence. Although he was a little taller, he was not big enough to be called the eldest brother. The reason why these people were a little afraid of him was probably because of the flame pattern on his face.

They determined that he was from Daxu because of the flame texture on his face.

"I am indeed from Daxu, and I am planning to go to the Western Land."

Qin Mu took out some fresh beef and fruit from his Taotie bag, gave them to the other party, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Elder, for giving my little sister a place to rest. If you don't mind, you can call me Xiao Qin."

The old merchant had no choice but to accept it and said, "I dare not call you elder. We men have a lower status in the West. Only older women are worthy of being called elders. Qin Ge'er, you are from Daxu. If you go to the West, it may be bad. This flaming desert stretches for tens of thousands of miles. It is scorching all the way. There are many dangers for people from Daxu. You should go back."

Qin Mu shook his head and said, "I promised to go to the Western Land, how can I go back on my word? Your Western Land is ruled by women? Yankang State also has some female generals and officials. When the national teacher promoted gender equality, he encountered a lot of resistance. I didn't expect that you are more open-minded than Yankang."

The old businessman's face changed drastically, and he said quickly: "Shut up! Don't dare to say that men and women are equal, otherwise you will be beheaded! How can men and women be equal? ​​Women can give birth, but men can't get pregnant, so of course they are inferior!"

Qin Mu was stunned.

The old merchant glanced around and whispered, "When you get to the West, don't say such nonsense again. Of course, if you can reach the West alive..."

Qin Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"When you arrive in the West, you can't say you are from Daxu."

The old businessman said solemnly: "You said you are from Daxu, it's easy for you to be killed."

Qin Mu frowned and asked, "Why is that?"

The old businessman didn't want to talk more.

Qin Mu did not force himself and continued to use his vital energy to refine his flying sword. When his energy was nearly half consumed, he took a few elixirs, and his flying sword became smaller and smaller.

"I still can't do it like Grandpa Dumb, who can refine his sword like flowing water."

Qin Mu grabbed a flying sword and rubbed it with his hands. The flying sword turned into a small sword ball, but it still had some edges and corners. He urged the Worry-Free Sword, and eight thousand swords collided with each other and turned into a sword ball. Although the sword ball was much smaller, it was still two feet square.

Only when the sword ball is refined to the size of a finger, his treasure refining skills can be considered entry-level, and he can basically refine the sword as fast as flowing water.

Qin Mu dispersed the sword ball and held the Worry-Free Sword in his hand. Nearly eight thousand flying swords whistled over, collided with the Worry-Free Sword one after another, and merged into the mother sword.

The Wuyou Sword became heavier and heavier. When the last flying sword merged into the Wuyou Sword, Qin Mu's hand holding the sword began to tremble. The sword was too heavy, but he could barely lift it.

He tried to swing the Wuyou Sword. Although the Wuyou Sword moved very slowly, there were suddenly crackling sounds and buzzing sounds in the air, as if a mountain was moving horizontally!

The explosion sound was caused by the sword being too heavy, pressing the space so that it made a slight explosion!

Qin Mu danced twice, and his arm muscles ached. He quickly dispersed the sword and stopped struggling. He thought to himself, "The dragon language characters in the Emperor Disc and the True Dragon's Lair are indeed not bad. The Nine Dragon Emperor's Skill on them has improved my body very quickly! In the past, how could I have lifted this sword? It's a pity that there are still many dragon words on it that cannot be deciphered."

These days he has been trying to integrate the new Nine Dragon Emperor Art with the Three Dan Art of Tyrant Body, and his physical body has improved rapidly. In the past, he only practiced the body-refining techniques in the Dayu Tianmo Sutra, but now the power of his pure physical strength is more powerful than that of many people with supernatural powers.

If he used fighting skills such as Eight Thunder Sound Styles and Pig-Slaying Knife Technique, the power would be doubled!

A strong physical body plays a significant role in improving combat skills!

The Western merchants around him went into their tents and fell asleep one after another. Qin Mu sat by the lake. Long Qilin shrank in size, asked Qin Mu for the Dragon Taming Sutra, and lay beside him to read the book in the light of the desert fire.

"Fat Long is as hardworking as Ling'er!" Qin Mu was very pleased.

Long Qilin licked his paws, opened the Dragon Taming Sutra, and read it carefully. He thought to himself, "Lord Tamer wrote the Dragon Taming Sutra, so I also want to write a book on taming humans..."

Not long after, Qin Mu fell asleep with his back against Long Qilin, and Long Qilin also buried his head and fell asleep. Although the desert night was full of fire, the temperature was very low and the lake was frozen, but Long Qilin was warm and his nostrils spewed flames from time to time.

In the second half of the night, in the flames outside the oasis, Pangong Tso emerged from the ground, spinning. He looked at Qin Mu who was sleeping, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't decide whether to sneak up and kill this guy now.

Qin Mu breathed steadily, unaware of anything.

Pangong Co hesitated again and again, and was about to make up his mind to kill, when he suddenly saw that when Qin Mu was breathing, wisps of dragon air kept flying out of the Taotie bag, like tiny dragons drilling into his nostrils.

When Pangong Tso saw that Qin Mu’s hand was also in the Taotie bag, he was startled and suddenly changed his mind. He spun his body and sank silently into the ground.

"He discovered it?"

Qin Mu opened one eye, rolled his eyeballs around, then closed it again, pulled out his hand from the Taotie bag, and continued to draw the dragon energy from the real dragon's lair while snoring. This time he really fell asleep.

He absorbed strands of true dragon energy into his body, turning it into his vital energy and improving his cultivation.

He had been practicing in the last few months, relying on the True Dragon's Nest and the Emperor's Disc, so his cultivation had improved so quickly. Even Pangong Tso, who had been reborn more than ten times, was not much behind him.

Of course, the more crucial thing is that he, Ling Yuxiu and Si Yunxiang often practiced dual cultivation of their souls, and their souls became stronger and stronger, which brought great benefits. That’s why he was not left behind by Pangong Tso, who had entered the Seven-Star Realm.

At dawn, Xiong Qier woke up and complained that she was hungry. Qin Mu cooked lean meat porridge for her with chopped lean meat and green vegetable leaves, made some snacks, and then refined several improved elixirs and let Long Qilin taste them.

"My skill of taming people will definitely be successful!"

Long Qilin was full of confidence: "The leader thought he had mastered the Dragon Taming Sutra, but he didn't know that everything was under the control of my Human Taming Sutra!"

As the caravan prepared to set off, the old merchant said goodbye to Qin Mu and warned him again: "Brother Qin, you must never say that you are from Daxu, otherwise there will be disaster!"

Qin Mu expressed his gratitude and stood on the forehead of the dragon unicorn and headed west. From behind him came the sound of bells on the necks of yellow sheep. One by one, the yellow sheep were carrying goods and heading towards the big market in the east.

The dragon unicorn was very fast, but it still hadn't reached the Western Land by evening.

When they passed a large mountain in the desert, Qin Mu looked around and saw that Long Qilin had already run past the mountain. Qin Mu suddenly said, "Fat Long, retreat!"

Long Qilin was puzzled and quickly retreated.

Qin Mu looked up and down, and saw that the mountain was extremely majestic, but there was no fire on the mountain. He soared into the air and soon reached the top of the mountain. He saw that the top of the mountain was very vast, with ruins everywhere, and vaguely saw the situation when it was glorious in the past.

There are still some dried bones here, buried in the sand and dust. Qin Mu checked and found that those who died here were giants with unusually sturdy builds.

He came to a pillar and touched it. Several thick broken chains hung down from the side of the pillar.

"Master, what's wrong with this mountain?" Long Qilin flew over on a cloud of fire.

Qin Mu raised his hand and pointed to the distance in the desert: "Look over there."

Long Qilin looked in the direction of his finger, and saw a pitch-black sphere appear in the desert, blown by the wind and sand.

"It's a sun boat. A dead sun boat."

Qin Mu got off the boat, his face calm and he said, "Let's go."

Long Qilin looked at his expression, didn't dare to say anything, and carried him to continue traveling west. Not long after, they encountered the second large ship, which was a dilapidated moon ship, which had also been damaged.

Then, they encountered the third large ship lying overturned in the desert. This moon ship had experienced an extremely brutal war and was extremely dilapidated.

Qin Mu suddenly realized: "The Ten Thousand Gods Natural Power is the nemesis of the Sun Boat and the Moon Boat!"
