No words were spoken that night.
The next day, Wuming took the dried meat off the oven and wrapped it in the oil paper that he had used to wrap the dry food, and then continued on his journey.
Although the destination was within sight, everyone was as steady as an old dog and not in a hurry. Instead, they moved at a leisurely pace, some even deliberately slowed down.
Wuming Peak is the source of the zombie plague. Although the zombie plague has been resolved, no one actually knows what the situation is on Wuming Peak.
In fact, everyone is gathering their strength to prepare for the biggest test.
Although this stage is thrilling and dangerous, compared with the previous tests, the mortality rate does not seem to be particularly high, and no one has died so far.
Everyone present knew very well that this level would not end so easily.
Especially Wuming and Ni Hongye, they both had a vague intuition that the zombie disaster must have sequels. After all, the zombie disaster was actually a disaster caused by the emperor's pursuit of immortality.
As long as the Bai Yaoxian is not dead yet, the emperor may not give up.
As long as what they have done has not been exposed, the ignorant people will at best treat it as a natural disaster, and the zombies cannot be blamed on the court, so the experiment is likely still ongoing.
The Five Life Peak is likely to hide huge dangers.
While Wuming and the others were traveling slowly, the men in brocade clothes somehow arrived at Wuming Peak first.
"Lord Bai, Xiang Mingzi's body has been found. It seems that he encountered a mountain monster while fleeing and ended up becoming its lackey. Only a head is left. Please take a look, Lord Bai." The man in brocade clothes handed over the box and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Bai Yaoxian turned around from the desk, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly walked to the box. He opened the box and saw the familiar face of his apprentice, then he let out a long sigh.
This apprentice was an abandoned baby he picked up when he was traveling around the country. He had watched him grow up and originally intended to make him his successor.
Who knew it would end up like this.
But who can be blamed for this
If he succeeds in researching the Eight Arts of Immortality, his own life span will be infinite, and he won't have to worry about the issue of succession.
It was a great favor that he was willing to let Xiang Mingzi continue to follow him, but Xiang Mingzi did not appreciate it and even attempted to steal his manuscripts. This was all her own fault.
"Did you kill Shanjun?"
Bai Yaoxian closed the box again, his eyes fell on the man in brocade clothes, and he looked down upon these hawks and dogs.
It is not easy for a tiger to transform into a tiger, but once it succeeds in transforming into a tiger, it is no longer an ordinary wild beast. They are smart and cunning, good at hiding their tracks, and they come and go like the wind, with extremely agile movements.
Even if dozens of masters of the inner force realm attack together, most of them will die before they can take it down, and this can only be successful in a place with a wide field of vision.
In the mountains and forests, it is estimated that even a battalion of soldiers would not be able to capture the mountain monster, and would only sacrifice their lives in vain.
"We didn't kill him. The mountain king was already dead when we arrived." The man in brocade clothes answered truthfully.
Bai Yaoxian frowned, turned around and asked, "Has the tiger's abdomen been cut open?"
"Cut it open!" the man in brocade clothes replied.
Bai Yaoxian knew the character of his former apprentice and former medicine boy very well. He walked to the box with a sigh. After opening the box, he carefully took out the human head and placed it on the table.
