Longevity begins with an old woman

Chapter 284 Acting Separately
In the open space not far away, dozens of pale ghosts surrounded Hong Xi and Jia Zhiyi like flies, attacking non-stop.

Hong Xi radiated a khaki-yellow light all over his body, and his body swelled in a circle, rushing back and forth among the ghosts. All the ghosts he hit would immediately be torn apart as if they had a physical body.

However, among these ghosts, there are quite a few shrewd ones who would get into the ground in time or disappear in black smoke before Hong Xi charged.

On the other side, Jia Zhiyi was sitting cross-legged in meditation, his clothes were ragged, his breath was weak, and he had obvious injuries on his body.

Beside him, a white ape with a height of half a man and six tails is guarding his side. Any ghosts who dare to approach will be swallowed by the six-tailed white monkey immediately.

Because Jia Zhiyi didn't make a move, and Hong Xi's attack was a little clumsy, so facing dozens of foundation-building ghosts, the battle unexpectedly fell into anxiety. Fortunately, Xu Mu appeared in time.

Xu Mu squeezed the magic formula with his hands, and countless purple thunderbolts around his body were excited, killing most of the ghosts in an instant, and the remaining thunderbolts fled in fright.

Lightning-type kung fu has a strong restraint on these ghosts.

"Squeak!"

Xu Mu wanted to get close to Jia Zhiyi to check his injuries, but the six-tailed white ape bared its teeth and barked at him, so Xu Mu could only give up and turned to ask Hong Xi who had returned.

"Hong Daoyou, what happened? How did Jia Daoyou get injured?"

This place belongs to the outskirts of the secret realm, and at most there are only some ghosts and corpse puppets in the early and middle stages of foundation establishment. With the peak strength of the two of them at the early stage of Jindan, they should be easy to deal with.

"We met a group of corpse puppets in the foundation-building period. When we were about to kill them, the corpse puppets suddenly exploded. Jia Daoyou was injured for a while without noticing, and a spirit beast was seriously injured. In order to avoid accidents, the two of us hurried back, but we met these ghosts again!" Hong Xiwen explained in a low voice.

"So that's it! I didn't expect the corpse puppet to explode itself!"

Xu Mu was slightly surprised.

He and Qiao Qianqian only met a corpse puppet, and they were fixed by him as soon as they met. They didn't know that the corpse puppet would use self-destruct to fight against the enemy.

At this moment, Qiao Qianqian also rushed back. Seeing Jia Zhiyi's situation, she couldn't help asking again.

"This is just the periphery. The ones that blew themselves up are just the corpse puppets of the foundation establishment stage. If you go deeper, if you encounter a corpse puppet in the golden core stage and blew up..."

Qiao Qianqian's pretty face inevitably showed worry, Hong Xi was sullen and didn't speak and didn't know what he was thinking, and Xu Mu didn't react too much.

He is confident in his own strength, and even if he encounters a corpse puppet in the late stage of Golden Core who blew himself up, he is sure that nothing will happen.

With my extraordinary level of hold technique, they may not have a chance to self-destruct.

The few people didn't wait long, Li Youlan and Xu Lingyu also rushed back, seeing the sad look on Li Youlan's face, they probably met Jia Zhiyi and the others in the same situation.

"How did fellow Daoist Jia get hurt?"

Seeing Jia Zhiyi sitting there healing his wounds, Li Youlan asked, this time Xu Mu explained.

"We also met such a group of corpse puppets just now. Fortunately, I reacted in time, otherwise I would be very embarrassed even if I was not injured."

Li Youlan sighed.

"I didn't expect that just the periphery is so dangerous. If you continue to go deep into it, it is very likely..."

Li Youlan looked at the crowd, her gaze was self-evident, they were likely to die.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Now it seems that there are indeed some troubles. The main reason is that their team is too weak.

"Your Highness, what do you mean?"

Everyone looked at Li Youlan, waiting for her to make a decision.

Everyone knew that entering the secret realm would be dangerous, but it was up to Li Youlan to decide whether to take the risk.

"We think it's better for us to play steadily and steadily. As for the ranking, forget it!"

Li Youlan's consciousness is indisputable.

If she was fighting alone, she could still rely on Xu Mu to win the top three. Now it is a team action, and Xu Mu's strength alone is limited. Instead of risking losing his own men and gaining a ranking that is no different, it is better to preserve his strength .

Several people secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Li Youlan's words. If they really entered the depths and tried their best, no one knew who would perish. The current situation is actually the best.

Only Xu Muxin resisted.

He came here for his own purpose. He wanted to find a way to make top-level corpse puppets. According to Li Youlan's consciousness, they would probably only circle around the periphery, and it was almost impossible to find a way to make corpse puppets.

"Your Highness, since you don't want to compete for rankings, why don't you let me go in and find out the situation. By the way, you can also take this opportunity to learn about the strength of the other princes and princesses!"

Xu Mu said directly.

It is common knowledge to inquire about each other's strengths and compete with each other. Qiao Qianqian and the others did not show any surprise at Xu Mu's proposal.

"this--"

Li Youlan couldn't help being a little embarrassed. With Xu Mu by her side, they would undoubtedly be much safer, and they would definitely get a lot more monster breath.

However, no matter how many there are, it is estimated that they will not be able to catch up with the few people in front.

In this case, it is better to ask Xu Mu to follow up to inquire about some news, maybe the harvest will be even greater.

"But if you are alone, will you be in danger?" Li Youlan worried.

No one knows how many things are hidden in this secret realm. If Xu Mu is alone, if he is in danger, he won't be able to ask for help.

"Your Highness, have you forgotten the spells I practiced! Even if you can't win, you can still escape!"

Hearing Xu Mu's words, Li Youlan remembered that the Void Transformation Technique he practiced was indeed a magical technique for hiding and escaping.

"Since this is the case, then be careful! If you encounter something you are not sure of, try not to take risks!"

"I know!"

Xu Mu cupped his hands to say goodbye, turned into a ray of light and flew towards the center.

Li Youlan and the others waited for Jia Zhiyi to recover, and then gathered together to hunt down some low-level monsters nearby.

Only Qiao Qianqian looked at Xu Mu flying away, feeling a little bit reluctant.

On the other side, Xu Mu encountered a dark cloud not long after flying.

He didn't rush over rashly, but restrained his breath and approached carefully to check, only to see densely packed ghosts inside. Although the level was not high, the number was like locusts, which was really scary.

With Xu Mu's strength, it may not be impossible to destroy these ghosts, but it will consume a lot of his spiritual power, which is really not worth it.

"My purpose is not to collect breath, but to find exercises!"

Now that he is fighting in a team, no matter how hard he tries, he may not be able to help Li Youlan win the first place, so he might as well just give up and do his own thing.

Xu Mu put the items on his body into the God Refining Cauldron, then turned into a wisp of green smoke and hid in the ground, and continued on his way after the group of ghosts left.

After breaking through the late stage of Jindan, he has further increased the refining of the gods, and he has been able to use the space in it, which is equivalent to adding a super storage bag out of thin air, and it is the kind that will not be noticed.

The existence of the God Refining Cauldron also allowed him to overcome the huge shortcoming of the Void Transformation Technique that he couldn't bring anything.

Now his most important things are all placed in the Divine Refining Cauldron, and only some dispensable things are put in the storage bag for show.

However, the real function of the refining cauldron is not to put things, but to refine things and seal things. It's just that Xu Mu's control is limited, and he can't fully exert these two functions for the time being.

Because he didn't get entangled with the monsters, and his body was blurred, Xu Mu hurried on the road very fast. Soon after, a small town appeared in Xu Mu's vision.

"Is there still someone living here?"
