Two days later,

The sky was dim and the winding mountain road looked a little eerie and lonely.

"When you get to Bagong Mountain, go left at the fork in the road, it should be this way!"

Liu Yu was holding a wooden sword and walking on a mountain path.

He heard yesterday that Brother Pei led people up the mountain to look for monsters, but they all got injured and managed to escape.

There are actually monsters in Shouyang. Isn't this a catch-up?

Even though I am a practitioner, how can I not conquer demons?

So in the middle of the night, he jumped over the wall and ran out.

Mainly because if he left during the day, he would definitely be stopped by Liu Mengli, and then he would really not be able to go anywhere.

Bagong Mountain is the largest mountain in Shouyang. After leaving the city gate and walking straight ahead, you will see a fork in the road.

If you go up from the upper right, you will reach an ancient tomb, and if you go from the middle road, you will get on the official road. However, it seems that the official road is no longer accessible due to the collapse of the mountain.

Now most of the county officials and laborers in Shouyang County are repairing the official road.

Take the road on the lower left, then go forward and there is a corner going up the mountain, which is the road to Nuluo Rock.

Although Liu Yu grew up in Shouyang, this was the first time he came to Nuluoyan, so he kept going up this road.

There are several branch junctions along the way, but fortunately there are dead ends within a few steps, so although it was a bit troublesome, I never got lost.

Perhaps because of the night, we didn't see any animals along the way. There were ordinary cypress trees on both sides.

Walking all the way up, reaching the halfway point of the mountain, Liu Yu unexpectedly discovered that there was something unusual here.

This place can be described as a flat land, but there are still some huge raised rocks around it.

What surprised Liu Yu was that these rocks basically formed a huge circle.

Liu Yu tiptoed, jumped into the air, and landed steadily on a rock.

Looking down, he discovered that there was a big hole in the middle of the rocks.

Liu Yu held the wooden sword in his hand, with a determined look in his eyes. He stood up and jumped into the hole.

The hole is a bit deep, and given the darkness, nothing can be seen around it.

Liu Yu silently recited the formula in his mouth, moved his fingers slightly, and waved forward.

Taking three meters around him as an area, a flame appeared out of thin air and kept rotating around him.

With the light brought by the flame, Liu Yu could finally see the surrounding environment clearly.

boom!!

He suddenly fell to the ground, half-kneeling on one knee, then slowly stood up and looked around.

There are strange plants growing around here, and there is a faint fragrance when you smell it carefully.

After Liu Yu tasted it carefully, he realized that this fragrance is the famous fragrance of Shouyang County, the smell of violet incense.

Liu Yu doesn't like making incense, but because Liu Mengli likes it very much, he has smelled a lot of spices since he was a child.

The scent of violet often appeared on the tip of his nose.

However, because this is supposed to be raw material, the aroma is not very obvious, and some special processing is needed to produce a more obvious flavor.

This is the origin of violet incense, so it is natural that there should be a large amount of violet incense.

Liu Yu didn't think much and took a few steps forward.

Suddenly there was a sound breaking through the darkness.

A ball of water came towards Liu Yu from the darkness.

Liu Yu frowned slightly and dispersed the water droplets with a wave of his hand.

These water droplets look scary and make some sound like they are breaking through the air, but in fact they are not very powerful.

Anyone who has practiced a little bit can basically disperse them with just one move.

Even if it hits someone who is not a cultivator, it will only push the person down and make their clothes wet.

Is this how powerful this monster is?

Although Liu Yu felt a little strange, he immediately counterattacked.

He held a wooden sword in his hand and swung it out. A sharp sword energy struck at the place where the water droplet came out.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Yu disappeared in a flash.

About two minutes later, Liu Yu was holding a chubby and cute purple mouse-like creature in his hand, sitting on the mound of soil nearby with a helpless expression.

Opposite him, there was a large group of little mice that were shivering and afraid to move. They all had their heads buried, like ostriches.

"Ouch!"

Liu Yu was really dumbfounded.

Who would have thought that the so-called monsters are actually these little things?

"Please... please... let the elder go!"

A "little girl" who was a bit small in stature and looked like she had just opened her spiritual intelligence and could speak, spoke in an extremely aggrieved voice.

"No!" The mouse in Liu Yu's hand twisted its body crazily, but Liu Yu's hand was like iron, holding it tightly so that it could not move at all.

"You all listen carefully! Even if I die today, you cannot bow to this human being."

"You should practice well and live a good life."

"You are the future of your race!!"

This speech made all the little mice underneath cry.

"Forehead!!"

Liu Yu didn't know why, but he suddenly felt like one of the villains described in books.

Damn! What kind of reversal is this?

"Let's just say it! They are right in front of me now. Do you think they can really survive?"

Liu Yu's voice was like a demon, causing all the little mice present to tremble.

The bigger one in Liu Yu's hand felt as if the sky was about to collapse.

"Please... spare our tribe!"

"We really just want to survive!"

The elder's tone suddenly became decadent, and now he could only plead with this human boy to spare their tribe.

Even if he dies, it doesn't matter.

Liu Yu was really embarrassed. He put the monster in his hand on the ground and said with a smile:

"I won't destroy you. Can you cheer up first? Answer me a few questions."

"Okay! Okay!"

The elder said quickly, and then his whole body exuded purple energy and gradually turned into a human form.

He looked like an old man. He quickly bowed and said:

"Excuse me, sir, what do you want to ask?"

"What kind of monsters are you?"

"Why hurt the human race?"

Liu Yu came here today to know these two things. He originally thought there would be a fierce battle.

I didn't expect these little things to be so weak.

"Back to you, sir! We are the Sophora Demon Clan. My name is Huai Mu, and I am the elder of the Sophora Demon Clan."

The old man was so respectful that his waist felt like it was bending at 90 degrees.

Liu Yu nodded and asked:

"Tell me why you want to hurt the human race."

"Sir! We, the Sophora Demon Clan, have never thought of harming humans. Even though we just scared them some time ago, we have never really hurt anyone!"

Huaimu said it so sincerely that she felt like she was about to cry.

"We originally live in the Nuluoyan area, violet is our food, and we eat based on it."

"I don't know when humans started to think about violet incense. It was fine at the beginning, and the amount collected wasn't too much, so we could still accept it."

"But...but in the past few months...incense pickers have been going into the mountains frequently!"

"In less than a month, the violets in the outer mountains have almost been exhausted."

"We can only come up with this last resort, move the violet incense to the place where we live, and scare the incense collectors."
Chapter completed!
