Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law.

In a swamp covered by thick fog, a woman in her twenties, dressed in green, holding a mid-grade earth-level magic weapon "Mountain and River Bottle", had a solemn expression on her face. Around her, several third-level "wolf monsters" had red eyes, staring at the woman with a fierce look, and the sound of fishy breath came out of the mouths of the "wolf monsters".

"boom!"

Suddenly, a "wolf demon" launched a surprise attack from the thick fog behind the woman. The attacking "wolf demon" thought that the woman did not notice it, but the woman had already noticed it. At the moment the wolf demon attacked, she immediately activated the "Mountain and River Bottle". A ray of light flashed, and the attacking "wolf demon" let out a howl and died on the spot.

At the same time, the remaining "wolf demons" flew over and attacked the woman together.

The battle lasted for about half an hour. The woman was exhausted and sat down on her knees, gasping for breath.

She killed all the wolf demons that surrounded her.

If she used to look like a noble lady, now she looked like a peasant woman who had just finished farm work, had some fun with a wild man in the fields, and was finally discovered by her husband and given a good scolding.

Her hair was messy, and her blue shirt was torn in many places by the "wolf demon's" sharp claws, but it did not affect her body. The blood from the wounds stained her blue shirt, and her fair cheeks were covered with the wolf demon's blood. However, even so, one could still vaguely tell that she was quite beautiful.

Just as she was about to tidy up her tired body, her expression suddenly changed, her gaze suddenly turned to the fog ahead, and she shouted sternly, "Who is it?"

"Phoenix Su?"

Under Huang Sumu's nervous gaze, a slender figure slowly walked out of the fog. Looking at the embarrassed figure, Chen Mo never expected to meet her here.

"It's you!"

For some reason, Huang Su was not familiar with Chen Mo, but when she saw him, she breathed a sigh of relief.

For some reason, although he was obviously not as strong as herself, his appearance made Huang Su feel a sense of security.

"Are you OK?"

Chen Mo glanced at Huang Su and could tell from the situation at the scene that she was being besieged by monsters and had just experienced a fierce battle.

"Can't die."

Huang Su stood up. Her wound was pulled, causing her to take a deep breath. Her eyebrows knitted tightly, and she immediately asked, "Why are you here? Why didn't you follow me before? I left a mark for you."

As she spoke, Huang Su discovered that Chen Mo had turned sideways. Huang Su was stunned, she looked down and her face couldn't help but blush. She really didn't look very decent now.

"Don't come here."

As she spoke, she entered the thick fog and hid behind a tree to deal with it.

Chen Mo could only hear a rustling sound.

Soon, Huang Su, who had changed her clothes, walked out from the dense atmosphere.

She was wearing a lilac-colored wide-sleeved shirt with a gold-woven skirt. Her waist was tied with a white belt, which highlighted her graceful figure. The blood on her face was wiped clean and her long hair was simply tied into a ponytail.

Just when Chen Mo was sighing that he didn't realize she had such a good figure when he saved her, Huang Su's cold voice rang out: "You haven't answered my question yet. Hmm? You broke through!?"

"It was a lucky breakthrough." Chen Mo retracted his gaze and said calmly, "I was worried about holding you back, so I took the initiative to leave the team."

However, after saying this, Huang Su was actually a little angry and said: "How did you get the courage to leave the team? Your strength is weak to begin with. Without our protection, you can be in danger at any time. You are playing with your own life."

At this point, Huang Su paused, as if realizing that what she said was wrong, and quickly changed the subject: "After all, you saved me, and I don't want to see you die in vain."

Chen Mo knew that she was concerned about him, so he smiled and said, "Don't talk about me. You are not with them, so why are you here alone?"

Huang Su's eyebrows showed a trace of anger, and she said, "We were attacked by the Immortal Pavilion. The young master of the White Jade Tiger Clan insisted that Feng Xuan stole the inner elixir and spine of the Golden Horned Flame Ox and asked him to hand it over. But Feng Xuan was with us the whole time and didn't encounter any Golden Horned Flame Ox at all, so he naturally couldn't get it. So we fought with the people of the Immortal Pavilion, and then everyone dispersed."

Chen Mo: "..."

No, this inner elixir was clearly taken away by myself, so why did the Immortal Pavilion think it was Feng Xuan?

Chen Mo asked: "Why is it so sure that Feng Xuan took it?"

"It said that Feng Xuan's spiritual power fluctuations are very similar to the spiritual power aura on the wound of the Golden Horned Flame Ox." Huang Su briefly told Chen Mo about the situation when they were attacked by the Immortal Pavilion, and then said: "I suspect that the other party knew that we got a treasure and wanted to plot against us and deliberately found an excuse."

"Spiritual aura?" Chen Mo said to himself, why is his spiritual aura similar to Feng Xuan's?

"Zhou Tian Sword Formation."

Chen Mo thought about it and the only similarity was probably the Zhoutian Sword Formation.

Huang Su just said that Feng Xuan had used the Zhoutian Sword Formation before the Immortal Pavilion attacked.

"This matter seems to have become more complicated." Chen Mo felt a little headache. If the fact that he took away the inner elixir was exposed, it would be exciting.

Seeing Chen Mo's reaction, Huang Su thought he was worried about her, so her expression eased a little and she said, "It's a good thing you didn't follow. If you were there at the time, you might have been stopped by the Immortal Pavilion's people."

She escaped under Feng Ning's protection.

She understood that under the circumstances at that time, Feng Ning would definitely not care about Chen Mo, an outsider.

Chen Mo smiled and changed the subject: "By the way, have you found the remains of the phoenix?"

"We have found the location. We were attacked when we were on our way there. But it may be difficult to get the phoenix skeleton." Huang Su said.

"what happened?"

"There are monsters guarding it."

"Monster beast guarding? Why haven't I heard of this before?"

"Because the person who discovered the Phoenix skeleton had never come into contact with it. If he had, he would have known. We also knew this at the location of the Azure Dragon skeleton." Huang Su said slowly.

The mythical beasts such as the Phoenix and the Azure Dragon, as the rulers of the world at that time, were so powerful that even after death, their corpses could decay but remain immortal.

When the Azure Dragon fell, there must have been some monsters that were attracted to the surrounding area and ate the Azure Dragon's flesh and blood. Not long after the Azure Dragon's death, the evil spirit and resentment had not dissipated. These monsters that had eaten the Azure Dragon's flesh and blood were controlled and enslaved by the Azure Dragon's evil spirit and became its servants.

Or maybe Qinglong knew what would happen to him after his death, so he left behind a trace of consciousness before he died, which could control the monsters that fed on his flesh and blood.

In short, these monsters that ate its flesh and blood will have to guard its bones from generation to generation from now on.

This would explain why the remains of Qinglong have not been damaged after so many years.

Because Dongfang Nishang wanted to take away the remains of Azure Dragon, her group was attacked by the Azure Dragon's guardian monster.

As a mythical beast of the same level as the Azure Dragon, there should be guardian monsters around the Phoenix skeleton.

"Thoughts and evil spirits? Wouldn't that mean it would be useless even if we got them?" Chen Mo said.

"It's hard to say. After so many years, maybe he is not as strong as before. And those big shots must have a way." Huang Su said.

"That's true." Chen Mo pondered for a while and said, "So, Princess Thirteen and the others returned empty-handed."

Huang Su shook her head: "Not really. Although those guardian monsters are strong, their intelligence is not high. We divided the work and cooperated with each other. Some people led away the strong ones among them, and the rest of us took advantage of this opportunity to act."

"Then do you know the route?" Chen Mo asked.

Huang Su frowned: "You want to go over?"

Chen Mo nodded: "We can only meet up with them if we rush over there."

Huang Su nodded, but all she wanted was to reunite with Feng Ning and the others.

"Since you agree, let's take a rest and then we can set off, right?"

Chen Mo handed his water bag to Huang Su.

Huang Su didn't want to take it, she had some too, but she understood that Chen Mo said to take a break so that he could have time to recuperate, and now it was a good intention, so she didn't refuse and took it: "Thank you."

Huang Su opened the water bag, tilted her head back and drank a few sips without touching her mouth, then returned it to Chen Mo.

"You recover now, I will protect you." After putting the water bag into the Qiankun bracelet, Chen Mo took out a knife and walked towards the bodies of those "wolf monsters" and started dealing with them.

"Thank you."

Huang Su didn't bother to be polite with Chen Mo. She found a dry place nearby and sat cross-legged. She took out the healing pills and started to recuperate.

Huang Su was not only injured, but also had her spiritual energy depleted, so it took a long time to recuperate.

When Huang Su felt that it was enough and would not affect the journey, the sky gradually darkened. "What a nice smell!"

Huang Su sniffed and suddenly smelled the fragrant smell of barbecue.

Huang Su opened her eyes and what she saw was a fire not far away. Chen Mo was sitting next to the fire, roasting a wolf leg. The fire was sizzling and oily, which was very appetizing.

"Are you ready?" Chen Mo said when he noticed Huang Su's gaze.

"It won't affect our journey."

Huang Su stood up and walked over, sitting down opposite Chen Mo.

"No hurry, you can continue to take care of yourself tonight. It's not suitable to travel at night." Chen Mo raised his eyes and looked at Huang Su across the firelight: "Do you like spicy food?"

"Ok?"

Chen Mo changed the topic a little quickly, and Huang Su could hardly keep up with Chen Mo's pace.

When Chen Mo raised the wolf leg in his hand, she finally reacted and said, "It's all right."

Chen Moshao sprinkled some chili powder and handed it to Huang Su: "Try it."

"Ah, thank you."

Huang Su didn't expect that Chen Mo gave her the roasted wolf leg first.

Chen Mo ignored her thoughts and took out another processed wolf leg and started roasting it.

He wanted to thank her for the life-saving jade, but he felt it was unnecessary and did not say it.

At night, in the foggy swamp, a man and a woman were alone. The atmosphere was obviously very ambiguous, but the blazing fire kept the two people far apart.

Ever since Chen Mo gave the wolf leg to Huang Su, neither of them spoke a word.

Chen Mo was grilling the meat seriously.

Huang Su ate the meat absentmindedly in small bites.

"Clap."

Suddenly, there was a loud bang in the fire, and countless sparks flew out.

"Buzz."

The two of them tacitly formed a spiritual power shield to block the sparks, and then said in unison: "Are you okay?"

Huang Su lowered her head and said nothing.

Chen Mo pulled a piece of wood out of the fire: "This is the piece of wood that exploded."

"Oh."

Huang Su said "Oh", and then the two of them fell into silence for a long time.

After both of them were full.

"Go and take care of yours. I'll be here to protect and keep watch all night." Chen Mo climbed up an ancient tree and sat down on the treetop.

At night, the fog in this forest is not as thick as during the day.

Huang Su looked at Chen Mo's thin back, wondering what was going on.

As the night deepened, the fire went out.

The moon was high in the sky, but its light could not penetrate the mist in the forest.

Suddenly, a faint fishy smell quietly seeped out from the fog.

Huang Su sensed something and just as she opened her eyes, a flash of sword light flashed before her eyes, cutting a poisonous snake that attacked from the tree behind her into two.

Sitting on the tree, Chen Mo retracted the Linghuang Sword, closed his eyes and continued to doze off.

Huang Su couldn't help but pursed her lips when she saw this.

There are quite a few poisonous insects and monsters in this forest. At night, they all come out to look for food.

Fortunately, their realm was not high either, so Chen Mo could deal with them easily and resolved several crises for Huang Su.

Overnight passed.

The sun rises in the east.

The sunlight did not dispel the fog in the forest, but made it thicker.

After a night of conditioning with Phoenix Essence, my physical condition has improved a lot, and my spirit is even better.

She opened her eyes, slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air from her mouth, looked at Chen Mo sitting on the tree, pursed her lips and said: "Thank you for your hard work last night."

"It's okay, it's just a piece of cake, are you done?"

Huang Su nodded.

"Let's go, then?"

"Don't you want to take a break?"

"It's only been one night, I'm not tired." Chen Mo jumped down from the tree and said, "Lead the way."

……

On the way to the location of the phoenix remains, they encountered more and more monsters, and these monsters became stronger.

Chen Mo and Huang Su did not fly in the sky because that would make them a bigger conspicuous target, and with their strength, they could not fly too high.

Traveling through the woods is actually less dangerous.

The journey was relatively safe and sound.

Two days later.

"Why haven't we arrived yet?" Chen Mo couldn't help but wonder if Huang Su had taken the wrong road.

“We took this route before.”

Huang Su was also a little uncertain.

During these two days, the two stayed together from morning to night, and their relationship was no longer so unfamiliar.

"Didn't you make any marks at that time?" Chen Mo asked.

Huang Su shook her head: "The Thirteenth Princess had a map in her hand at the time, so she didn't make any marks."

Chen Mo scratched his head: "What should we do now?"

"Why don't we go a little further?" Huang Su said.

"This is the only way." Chen Mo said.

"Roar!"

At this moment, a roar came from the front, and in the darkness formed under the two big trees in front, the outline of a huge figure became clearer and clearer.

"The Armored Dragon Monster." Huang Su's expression changed.

Chen Mo's eyes widened: "Isn't this a dinosaur?"
