Transmigrant Alchemist And His Magic Wagon

Mysterious man (2)

Suddenly the ground under the man's feet slid into the ground, the man was shocked to fail to detect the trap.

"Revelation!" yelled Meimei and Meng Zhi together.

Meimei darted towards the man then before the man's body fell into the hole, Meimei pulled his arm and carried him to safety.

"Are you okay?" ask Meimei.

"Thank you! I guess it's over with my history" said the man.

Meimei said nothing. He only smiled and remained silent a thousand languages after seeing the man's clothes similar to those of the ones who attacked the cave two days ago.

The man was about to say something but the roar of the spirit beast shocked him and looked towards the direction the sound came from.

The man widened his eyes when he saw Meng Zhi snuff out the type of tracker in multiple movements.

"A soul formation? It can't be!" muttered the man.

"Why? Because in the underworld is the highest level of core formation?" meimei said while grunting.

The man was not aware Meimei's attitude was starting to cool to him. He was too focused on seeing Meng Zhi who was now facing a trapper type. Before long Meng Zhi returned to Meimei and the man.

"Thank you, brother! If there were no you, I might not be in this world anymore" the man said, cupping his hands together.

His body trembled from the wounds all over his body but the man forced himself to salute his two rescuers.

Meimei nodded giving Meng Zhi a sign that this man was suspicious. Meng Zhi nodded back then directed her jian towards the man.

Meimei did the same. The man was surprised to see Meimei and Meng Zhi. Yet he really did not have the strength anymore to fight against the two of them.

"Sorry buddy. We have a bit of grudge with people who dress the same as you" Meng Zhi continued

"But I don't want to just accuse, so I asked if you are from the same group as the people who made spirit beasts on this mountain run down the mountain?"

The man was stunned. His face was agitated and showed a dilemma. Sweat flowed from his forehead and the man gulped. Seeing that Meimei and Meng Zhi did not seem to be from a cult, the man finally opened his voice.

"I'm not from the same group as them. I can't say more clearly where I'm from because we're on a secret mission" said the man nervously.

"We? You have a partner? Where's your partner?" meimei said coldly.

Meimei who was in front of the man turned one hundred and eighty degrees from the usual Meimei who was near Mu Lian. There was no gentleness or attention in his every word.

"Ah, help my partner, Senior!" the man said begging. The man gathered in front of Meng Zhi and Meimei. His two hands were put together in front of Meimei and Meng Zhi.

"Why your partner?" ask Meng Zhi.

"He's going through the same thing as me, we're both being pursued by a type of tracker" the man said.

Meimei and Meng Zhi stared at each other. Meng Zhi felt that if the man was from a cult of the heretic sect, he would not beg to save his comrade. Meimei also had a thought with Meng Zhi.

"Please, I'll tell you what I can tell you," said the man afraid that Meimei and Meng Zhi would not save their comrades.

Meng Zhi told Meimei to go back to Mu Lian and Ling Zizhou and take the man to the resting place.

Not to forget Meng Zhi confiscated all the tools that could be used as weapons and communication. The man followed Meng Zhi's request obediently and asked for the last time to save his comrade.

After that Meng Zhi said goodbye. Meng Zhi headed towards the location where the last time the fellow man was seen was.

"Oh, jiejie! Where is Senior Meng?" said Mu Lian. Mu Lian and Ling Zizhou were sitting under a tree while chatting when they saw Meimei coming with a man.

"Lian'er, there's been a change of plans. But we better get to the resting place, right away" Meimei said.

"You better explain to us after arriving there, Senior," Ling Zizhou said curiously as he stared intently at the man.

Unknowingly Ling Zizhou was already standing in front of Mu Lian and acting like he was protecting Mu Lian.

"That was my plan. Come on!" meimei said while sighing.

Ling Zizhou led the walk down the forest. Meimei and the man walked a few steps behind.

The atmosphere between them was so gripping that it made Mu Lian's back feel cold. Mu Lian turned her head towards the man a few times.

The man walked limp. His right hand held his left, seemingly injured. His clothes were torn everywhere and filled with fresh blood mixed with dried blood.

"It seems like our journey is not as smooth as we thought," Meimei said.

"Isn't it from yesterday as well, Senior?" ling Zizhou said.

"Wait here. Watch him," said Meimei pointing at the man with his chin.

"Alright, Senior," Ling Zizhou said.

Meimei disappeared into the line of trees. A while later came the sound of a fight and the roar of a spirit beast from a distance.

Ling Zizhou took Mu Lian and the man sat under a tree while he stood guard near them. Mu Lian looked towards the man again accidentally meeting his eyes.

"This take it," said Mu Lian. Because he had already been caught staring at him, so all of you Mu Lian gave the man a bag of drinking water.

"Thank you" said the man. The man frowned as water soaked his injured lips.

Mu Lian asked why the man was in this forest and the answer was exactly the same as the one he had thrown at Meimei and Meng Zhi.

But after seeing Mu Lian, the man was increasingly convinced that Mu Lian's group was not a cult of heretics. Even though the doubt of the man came again when he saw Ling Zizhou's face.

"Come on this," said the man. At first he did not smell the herbs from inside his drinking bag because he was too focused with the wound on his lips.

"Oh, I mixed herbal tea to relieve fatigue. It's a little bit bitter because the water is cold, but the effect is still felt, right?" said Mu Lian.

"En" said the man. It was only fitting that his body felt light even though the injuries all over his body were still painful.

Before long, Meimei returned and told Ling Zizhou to lead the way to the resting place. Meimei was afraid that the man's condition was getting worse.

Mu Lian and the others arrived at the resting place later than expected. Lunch time passed two hours ago.

Ling Zizhou prepared lunch while Mu Lian took care of the mysterious man. Meimei sat on the sidelines, watching Mu Lian who was applying her concoction paste to the wound on the man's body.

"People whose sisters say they dress the same as us, I want to hear what happened" the man said after a long silence.

The man knew that Meimei was sitting nearby to wait for him to open his voice about the incident in the Sky Feet Mountain.

But the man was about to ascertain whether the group that attacked Meimei and the others was the group they were pursuing.

Mu Lian turned her head towards Meimei seeing how she reacted to the man's words. Meimei sighed then recounted the incident that she and Mu Lian's group experienced two days ago.

Lunch was ready since thirty minutes ago but Ling Zizhou was waiting for Meimei to finish his story.

"Ah, Senior Meng, it just so happens that lunch is ready," Ling Zizhou said. Meimei stopped telling stories and turned his head towards Meng Zhi.

"Her!" said the man. A young man whose condition was no worse with the man was being propped up by Meng Zhi.

"Su gege!" said the young man gasp.

"Is Su gege the one who sent this Senior to save me?" said the young man.

"Of course, I told you I would seek help" the man continued to Meng Zhi

"Thank you, Senior!"

"Ens. Now do you intend to open your voice about this incident?" said Meng Zhi. Meng Zhi handed the young man over to take care of Mu Lian.

"I've heard the story from Meimei's sister, and it's true that the three men are being pursued by us. They carry objects that can damage a place by absorbing chi around," the man continued

"My partner and I intend to go to the top of this mountain to prevent them but we enter the locality of the tracking type. We were trying to get out of the area and accidentally met with their group leader who was being eaten by one of the tracker types,"

Mu Lian held her breath when she heard the man bring up the object that the group of three people were carrying.

Mu Lian patted her dimensional pouch, taking out a blackish-brown seed.

At first Mu Lian was surprised to see Meimei and Ling Zizhou carrying 'root' items from the three bodies but after being persuaded by Meimei, Mu Lian finally brought along a seed that had an extremely concentrated chi.

Despite the irregularities in the seeds, Mu Lian still took them for research when returning to the East Ufuk Valley later.

Still, for two days Mu Lian had always had a nightmare of seeing their shadows come to her.

"Ehem," Mu Lian cleared her throat, attracting Meng Zhi's attention.

Then when Meng Zhi turned her head towards Mu Lian, Meng Zhi saw Mu Lian pointing at the seeds in her hand grip.

When Mu Lian showed Meng Zhi the booty, the mysterious man and young man were staring at each other, communicating through their eyes so as not to see the seeds.

"What do you mean this thing? Lian'er, show him," said Meng Zhi.

"!"

The mysterious man and the young man stared at the seeds that were within Mu Lian's grasp. The faces of the two were pale then after a long period of silence the man nodded.

"really. These seeds are what I mean," said the man.

"Su gege we better get these saviors to the master immediately" said the young man.

"Ens. Senior, you better come with us to carry out the purification," the man said.

"Purification?" meimei was confused.

"You guys are fighting against the three guys we're after, right? All I can tell you is that they are not members of ordinary heretical sects. They.there was a connection to the abyssal creatures," said the man then turned his head towards Mu Lian.

"Young lady, are you hurt because of one of the three?" said the man.

Meimei immediately got up from his seat and held onto the two shoulders of the man.

"Abyssal creature you say? What about Lian'er's wounds?" Meimei.

"Lian'er, you're okay, right? Is there any uncomfortable part?" ling Zizhou said as he examined Mu Lian's injured arm.

"Everyone who has ever faced their faction will be slightly contaminated with abyssal aura, so it must be urgently purified" the man said.

"Where is your master?" said Meng Zhi. The question of abyssal beings is not a trivial one.

"Tomorrow I'll show you the way. If we could go early in the morning" said the man.

"Good.then let's eat to restore our body," said Meng Zhi.

That night Mu Lian continued to be questioned regarding the condition of her body, she had to convince several times before Meimei and Ling Zizhou finally left Mu Lian to sleep.

"Huahmm," Mu Lian yawned for the umpteenth time that morning.

It seems that yesterday's events made Mu Lian's nightmare even more so that it made her sleep uncomfortable.

"Based on the sleepyhead," muttered Ling Zizhou who was walking a short distance away from Mu Lian.

Mu Lian's group met several times with the greedy one and fortunately the trapper type was not on their path of travel.

Several times they stopped at the river to fill their drinking water supply. When they exited the area of the Sky Feet Mountain, they were still able to find the voracious tier 1.

Mu Lian's group then walked onto a path that Mu Lian was unfamiliar with. Mu Lian turned her head to the road leading to the East Ufuk Valley. It seems he has to delay his return.

The man said with their speed, they will arrive at the village where the master is on the second night.

"Are you cold?" ask Meimei.

"No jiejie," said Mu Lian lying. Despite being in front of the campfire, Mu Lian still felt cold because the night wind was quite strong.

Meimei sat down next to Mu Lian then embraced her body to block the night wind. Ling Zizhou did the same to the left of Mu Lian's body.

The three of them sat in a tug while listening to the conversation of Meng Zhi and the mysterious man. The mysterious man insisted on being called by the name of Su.

The conversation was getting longer and longer the more it sounded deep in Mu Lian's ears. Then with Meimei's hand caress, Mu Lian fell asleep in a sitting position.

Mu Lian felt like she had just closed her eyes before the hard ground beneath her felt soft like a mattress. Then Mu Lian felt her body sink into the bed.

Mu Lian was confused because she could not get out of the bed. He was aware of his body getting drowned but his body felt like something was holding back.

Mu Lian shouted for help with her locked mouth. There was only a stifled voice heard from behind his mouth.

Sweat drenched Mu Lian's face, making her hair stick over her eyes. Mu Lian grew even more panicked and tried to thrash.

"..h!" a voice from a distance. Mu Lian tried to focus on the voice. His instincts say that he would get out of here if he followed that voice.

"Lian!"

Mu Lian blinked. His eyes caught the faces of Meimei, Ling Zizhou and Meng Zhi. Moments later Mu Lian was able to feel her body return.

Seeing that Mu Lian was fully conscious, Meimei hugged Mu Lian tightly. After Meimei released Mu Lian, Mu Lian was able to see the man named Su and his partner were staring at Mu Lian worriedly.

"How long has she been having nightmares?" said the man.

"Eh? Oh, about two days ago," said Mu Lian.

"Why didn't you say it!" ling Zizhou said.

"It looks like this lady had symptoms when contaminated with the aura of an abyssal creature. The symptoms of each person are different. This miss is among the quick ones," said the man.

"We have to go to your master now!" meimei.

"What if Senior uses qinggong?" the Ling Zizhou.

"Alright, Laopo your duty is to carry Lian'er, Zhouzhou you will carry Su's comrade. Brother Su, it's a matter of urgency so in the meantime, I'll carry you" said Meng Zhi.

"Senior, it's midnight, how about-"

"No! we're leaving now!" cut Meimei and Ling Zizhou together.

After clearing their camping spots, Mu Lian and the others began to move in the direction Su pointed out at high speed.

Ling Zizhou was far behind but with his spiritual senses, Ling Zizhou could follow wherever they went.

Meimei used his chi to create a kind of protector so that Mu Lian would not be exposed to strong gusts of wind.

"Lian'er, don't fall asleep! Let's talk about morning dew" Meimei said.

Morning dew is an herbal plant that will grow in winter in the East Ufuk Valley. And the name of the herbaceous plant was used as the name of the Morning Dew sect

Hearing that herbaceous plant Mu Lian's drowsiness instantly disappeared. Mu Lian then told her about her plan of picking the morning dew with sparkling eyes.

The day is getting brighter. The sun was almost overhead when Mu Lian saw a village. The archway made of stone bearing the words 'Mare Village' was guarded by two middle-aged men.

"Good day, is your partner hurt?" said one of the guards.

"Oh aren't you Su's brother? Master Zhengheng told us to immediately report back to you, " said the other guard.

"Ah, thank you," Su replied briefly then told Meng Zhi to head towards an inn.

Mu Lian returned the smiles of the two guards as she passed by them. There are a lot of friendly people in the village.

Is it possible that is why cults are more easily infiltrated in villages like this, including in the village of East Ufuk Valley?

Mu Lian walked into a small inn with a simple building. The yard is small and only decorated with a small pond with nothing in it.

Suddenly Mu Lian felt a murderous lust and saw a group of people dressed in black surrounding Mu Lian, Meimei and Meng Zhi.

"What does this mean, brother Su?" said a man.
