Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

"Captain..." Xue Rou walked up and was about to ask the reason when he was suddenly interrupted by the other party raising his hand. The next moment, he and his team members witnessed a shocking scene.

Mo Juren's gaze suddenly turned cold, and then streaks of sword light appeared out of thin air, shooting towards a tree at the edge of the dense forest ahead.

Moreover, hidden within the sky full of sword light was a cyan talisman, completely illusory and inconspicuous.

The tree was not tall and looked unremarkable. However, as the sword light approached, it suddenly trembled and then transformed into a streak of blue light, fleeing at top speed.

The opponent was decisive, clearly outmatched in strength, and thus planned to flee immediately. Moreover, his escape technique was superb, and his direction was deep into the dense forest. If it were anyone else, it would have been difficult to stop him.

Unfortunately, he was unlucky this time and ran into Mo Juren, who was prepared. Before he could do anything, the blue talisman shadow went straight into his body.

The figure suddenly froze, the blue light surrounding it quickly dissipated, revealing a tall man who then collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"This is... the Wood Clan!"

"A purple belt, indicating Nascent Soul stage cultivation!"

"..."

Seeing the figure fall to the ground ahead, everyone was shocked and began to discuss it endlessly.

Firstly, they couldn't understand why the Wood Clan would appear here. Secondly, they were puzzled by the captain's methods. The Wood Clan man was quite powerful, with a purple-orange belt, indicating he was at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage. Yet, he couldn't even withstand a single move from the captain!

The captain is becoming more and more mysterious; I wonder how he manages to do it?
Mo Juren didn't explain anything. Instead, he flashed into view at the edge of the dense forest, next to the Wood Clan man.

He didn't bother with any interrogation, but simply raised his hand and placed it on the other person's head. His intentions were obvious, and sure enough, the next moment, a shrill scream came from the other person's mouth.

The team members saw this scene, but they didn't think anything was wrong.

The saying goes, "Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts." The human race and the wood race are inherently enemies, so there is no possibility of showing mercy. Moreover, if the human race falls into the hands of the other side, they will die a more miserable death.

As time passed, the screams of the Namu tribesman gradually ceased, and his aura rapidly weakened until it almost disappeared.

Clearly, his soul had been severely damaged and was completely ruined.

Mo Juren calmly withdrew his hand, took a blue wooden bracelet from the wrist, and then set it on fire, burning it to ashes.

That cyan wooden bracelet was the other party's storage magic treasure. It was unknown what kind of spiritual wood it was made of, which made it of a very high grade and with a huge internal space.

Through soul searching, it was learned that this bracelet is called the 'Green Wood Bracelet', an ancient artifact that the other party obtained unintentionally.

Of course, that's not the main point. The key is that inside the bracelet, there was actually a large clump of dark yellow clay, which was the famous 'Creation Spiritual Clay' in the cultivation world.

This mud looks ordinary, seemingly no different from any other soil, yet it is a top-grade spiritual object that is extremely rare and sought after, especially in the cultivation of spiritual herbs, where it has incredible effects.

Furthermore, this 'Creation Spirit Mud' is also an indispensable material for refining many earth-attribute treasures, and its value is beyond imagination.

Compared to the human race, the wood race values ​​this mud especially highly, regarding it as a 'sacred object'.

In the cultivation world, the reserves of 'Creation Spirit Mud' are extremely rare, and it is almost impossible to encounter it. The reason why there is so much of it in this Green Wood Bracelet is that it comes from the Enchanted Forest.

This information was naturally obtained through soul searching, and the situation is rather complicated!

The story begins several days ago when a Wood Clan exploration team entered the Enchanted Forest to collect resources. By chance, they discovered an ancient ruin, which contained not only many invaluable ancient artifacts but also a rich vein of 'Creation Spirit Mud'.

Upon this discovery, the Wood Clan team went into a frenzy and began mining with great haste. However, before they had unearthed much, they were suddenly attacked by a large number of mysterious beasts. The type of beast was unknown, but they were incredibly powerful and numerous.

The Wood Clan team was also quite strong, with three members at the orange rank. However, they were no match for the horde of alien beasts and were eventually trapped inside the mine, unable to escape.

In desperation, they decided to seek help from their tribe. Fortunately, one of the Wood Tribe members with an extraordinary background was carrying a life-saving item that allowed them to break through the blockade of the beast horde.

Therefore, the task was handed over to the other party.

However, life is unpredictable, and his luck was really bad. He barely managed to break through the blockade with the help of his life-saving item and even left the ruins, but when he reached the edge of the Enchanted Forest, he encountered Mo Juren and his group who had just arrived.

Although none of them seem very strong, with the highest cultivation level being only at the Nascent Soul stage, it is still alone and has no chance of winning in a real fight.

It originally intended to escape directly, since these human cultivators couldn't stop it with its own strength.

However, it became curious and wanted to secretly eavesdrop on the purpose of these human cultivators' visit and whether they had discovered the ancient ruins.
Having figured this out, it did not hesitate and disguised itself as a tree to hide temporarily. With the Wood Clan's top-notch illusion and concealment techniques, it was more than enough to deceive a group of Nascent Soul stage human cultivators.

Unexpectedly, things didn't go as it expected. In just a moment, it was exposed. What it didn't expect was that the opponent's methods were so powerful that it even lost its life.

"Creation Spirit Mud!" Mo Juren murmured softly. Then, looking at the green wood bracelet, he had a thought, and in an instant, a fist-sized ball of spirit mud, shimmering with a dark yellow luster, appeared.

"What a treasure!!" Mo Juren's eyes lit up as he looked at the object floating in front of him.

Even he couldn't resist such rare treasures.

Although the current quantity is not enough, if we could enter the ruins and completely mine the entire 'Creation Spirit Mud' vein, we would really make a fortune.

The question now is, how can we achieve this?
The ruins contain a large number of strange and powerful spirit beasts, so brute force is clearly not an option.

The Wood Clan team had three Void Refinement stage cultivators and the rest were Nascent Soul stage cultivators. If such a powerful team was trapped inside, let alone his team.

He himself didn't have much of a problem, but the team members were clearly far behind.

"What should we do?" Mo Juren fell into deep thought. No matter what, he absolutely could not miss the Creation Spirit Mud Mine in that ruin.

The only concern is the safety of the team members.

As he was pondering this, the others arrived one after another and immediately asked what had happened.
Mo Juren didn't hide anything and explained the situation in detail. Sure enough, after hearing it, everyone, like the Wood Clan team, went crazy.

"Creation Spirit Mud is such a rare treasure, and it even has an entire vein of it. This is simply unbelievable!"

"Who can argue with that? Such top-tier spiritual treasures are extremely rare, a matter of chance, and they've only ever appeared at top-tier auctions in the past, only to be quickly snapped up by various forces..."

"If an entire vein could be mined, what a huge amount of spirit stones that would be..."

"Don't be too happy yet. There are a lot of strange beasts in those ruins. Even the Wood Clan team, with its strength, couldn't do anything about it. I'm afraid it will be even more difficult for us..."

"That's true, but that's an entire mine vein, and it contains a large number of ancient treasures. We can't just give up, can we? What should we do then?"

"..."

When the actual situation was discussed, the fire in everyone's hearts was instantly extinguished, and they became calm.

After much discussion, they still couldn't find a solution, and ultimately all eyes turned to Mo Juren… (End of Chapter)
