“You can go back now!”

Zi Ling said as she raised her tender hands and crossed the circle in the air, forming a complicated charm magic.

Without waiting for the satyr to even reply, a giant purple vortex emerged behind him and the giant beast was inhaled.

“You are Zi Ling, are you not?”

Shi Mu looked at Zi Ling's little figure and asked slowly.

“Hehe, Zi Ling is my sister. My name is Zi He. Throughout this journey, Sect Fellow Shi Mu had been taking such good care of my sister. As for you others, how do I divide?” Zi Ling heard the words and turned around. She smiled lightly at Shi Mu. With a clear voice, her tone was not of a child.

“Since you are so polite, then I shall accept it.”

After listening without much response, Shi Mu gladly accepted.

After a while, he made the last piece of the Qingshan Order on his own. As a circle of blue light illuminated, the nucleus in the token had been transferred into Shi Mu's token.

“Sect Fellow Zi He, what do you plan next?” Shi Mu asked as he casually stored his Qingshan Order while walking over to Zi Ling.

They were both like two peas in a pot. He did not dare to ask Zi Ling.

“I can see that Sect Fellow Shi Mu still has a lot of strength within. If you wish to be a disciple of the Holy Land of Qinglan, it's not as simple as you think. After all, those who participated in this trial are geniuses and possess strength far beyond your imagination. As for me, since I am awakened ahead of schedule, naturally there are some things to deal with first. We shall part ways here,” Zi Ling's heart slightly sank as she said the words.

After all, this woman ignored Shi Mu's reaction. With a wave of her hand, colorful flying satin began to appear.

Shi Mu looked at the small figure of Zi Ling disappear in front of him. He could not help himself and rubbed his nose while letting out a bitter laugh.

Although he knew that Zi Ling was not someone ordinary, he did not expect her to be this strong. It was sufficient to cross the vast majority of the world.

Whatever the course, it was better to leave now rather than say anything more.

Shi Mu flew toward the small valley in front of him. He looked for a relatively hidden place, sitting with his legs crossed, ready to rest for a while.

He held a spirit stone with one hand and the Qingshan Order in the other. He closed his eyes and probed it.

This was the first time he ever explored the Qingshan Order.

As his spirit engaged with it, the surface of the Qingshan Order began to glow in a circle of light. It would move a few times and in an instant, it had disappeared.

Shi Mu opened his eyes and his face gradually became dignified.

According to the demon nucleus he obtained, its total score was now at 366,000. Among all the 30,000 people who participated in the trial, it ranked 3,021, barely squeezing into the charts. One tenth of the former, only a distance from the 108 winners, was still very far away.

In addition, in just a few days, almost 23,000 people had either fallen or abandoned and withdrawn from the trial.

Although he had some understanding of the cruelty of the trial, he could not help but be surprised when he heard the result.

It can be seen that if one did not hunt for something high ranked in the next 20 days, it would be difficult to stand out from the remaining 10,000 people.

As soon as he read this, he rolled over and threw the gray stone that was in his hand. After defending the direction, he stepped toward the inner section of the secret territory.

Half a day later…

Shi Mu was moving all the way to the distance. Suddenly, Cai's voice whispered into his ear.

“Shi Mu, we are already out of this lost grassland!”

In front of Shi Mu, a little golden light quickly zoomed in. At the end of a vast prairie, there was an emerald green “high wall” that stretched for thousands of miles.

This was the picture that Cai had passed back through visual sharing. Shi Mu estimated the distance from the forest was about one or two hundred miles away.

Due to the forest being separated from the outer Ten Earth and Earth region, which was closer to the center of the secret territory, the monsters that resided there were more fierce and deadly. It was only natural that the entrants had always been far fewer than the periphery. Most of them were of big families or big forces and little was known about them.

Shi Mu only knew that it was called Mang Gu Forest.

According to the instructions given by Cai, Shi Mu quickly determined the direction and rushed to the forest.

However, after a slash of grass with a height of two feet, suddenly a figure emerged silently from the air with the sacred claws swaying toward the stone shepherd.

It was a weird kind of beast. It was as tall as a tree but looked like a mouse that could walk upright.

Its body was covered with solid brown scales. Its front paws were separated by five fingers, like five short swords that were very sharp.

“Earth Manul!” Shi Mu saw this and secretly screamed. This type of beast was of Earth-rank and it was the seventh one Shi Mu had encountered within just half a day. In a way, it was like a demon nucleus had presented itself to him.

Between his thoughts, footsteps fell beside him and he immediately rolled on the spot.

Woosh!

Five cold flashes flashed and a piece of sedge behind him was broken.

Shi Mu turned up and his Heavenly Meteoric Black Iron Knife was already in his hand. His wrist turned over and the black knife suddenly shot upwards and a black light blade emerged.

Woosh!

A crisp metal crash blasted and the Earth Manul was blown out by a giant force and flew out more than ten feet. Shi Mu also took the opportunity to open it.

Crack!

The Earth Manul screamed as a white mark under its neck appeared. Although it was not physically harmed, it was obviously not in a very good state now.

“Hula!”

The khaki glow surrounding its body began to glow intensely as its eyes turned blood red. Ka cha! Its figure rose several times.

And on its two front paws, diamond-shaped scales were layered up and erected like a barb. From a distance, it looked like two thick spikes.

The Earth Manul waved his arms and went after Shi Mu.

Shi Mu's eyes squatted slightly as his body suddenly soared and the azure ape emerged behind him. Two fire fists smashed against the arms of the Earth Manul.

Boom!

With a loud noise, the arms of the Earth Manul had been hammered. Its bones were broke. Flesh and blood exploded in all directions. The scales attached to them were like flying knives.

Shi Mu put away his phasing technique and walked towards the Earth Manul that was now barely breathing. With a slice on its head, it died.

On the second evening, the sky was darker.

Shi Mu did not stop and continued to walk through the grasslands.

On this day, while he was burying his head and smashing and slaughtering beasts and monsters, the number of monsters encountered along the way gradually decreased. His strength increased with every kill but the speed of traveling was much slower than his original estimate.

“Shi Mu, from your current position to the top ten miles, there is a clear space. That place is a bit strange so please pay attention upon arrival,” Cai's voice suddenly came to light.

“Oh, what's the exception?” Shi Mu asked.

“I can't tell you clearly. There is no grass in the bare grass. I can only see some earthen bags. Monsters were not seen but there are many bones of beasts around. But through this open space, it would be the infamous Mang Gu Forest,” Cai Er explained.

“Alright. Fly to the forest and wait for me there. I will come later.” Shi Mu slightly thought and said after a while.

After a moment, Shi Mu had arrived in the open space.

The scene in front was exactly identical to what Cai had described. The grass on the ground was not burned, only with a huge oval bag standing there. There were more than a dozen white bones of high-order monsters, which made it look like a cemetery.

Among the dozens of white bones on the periphery of the earthen bag, some have dried up and were broke while some were bright in colors. It seemed that it was not long before death but the flesh and blood had been cleaned up spotless.

Shi Mu glanced around with a stern expression and walked in with the Heavenly Meteoric Black Iron Knife tightly gripped in his hand.

After a while, the air in the area rumbled rumbling!

A red fire cloud of twenty or thirty feet in size emerged in the air. There was a rush of thunder in the fire and the red light flashed everywhere.

On the open space below, it had been occupied by dense green ants. Only the middle of a few feet of empty space was piled up with dozens of ants.

Shi Mu stood on this open space and his body rolled in flames.

As he was trying to get across the open space awhile ago, the surrounding earthen bags suddenly surged and hundreds of thousands of green ant monsters poured out and surrounded him to the point he had no place to escape.

This kind of ant beast had thick and long limbs with two tentacles like soft whips. Half hanging in front of the forehead was a mouthpiece that looked like a saw. Its giant eyes were like lights, greedily staring at Shi Mu. As they were ready to rush up to Shi Mu and shredded him in pieces with their tentacles and limbs, a flaming red aura around Shi Mu kept them at them lane.

“Drop!”

Shi Mu sneered. With one hand stunned, behind his head, a round of silver crescent moon illusions appeared in mid-air, shining bright.

The red fire cloud immediately boiled violently and tumbled as its red light flashed continuously.

The fireball the size of a grinding disc flew out of the red cloud, like a meteor falling and madly bombarded.

Rumble!

The fires of the sky were overwhelming and the area was drowned in an instant. The roar of the thunderstorms rushed out and continued to circulate in the wilderness.

The fireballs fell everywhere and several green ants were crushed.

The area around Shi Mu became a deep pit. Only the place where he stood was not bombarded, like a lonely peak standing in the center.

Shi Mu looked at the wreckage of hundreds of green ant beasts in the deep pit, especially the few corpses in the middle of the squad. He could not help but smile a little and tiptoe his way as he jumped into the pit.
