Xiao Mu continued to walk forward, paying special attention to this prehistoric town.
This prehistoric small city is close to the edge of the Eastern Desolation, and further into the depths is chaos.
And chaos, once in, can't get out.
Chaos is a supreme force, and any creature that enters chaos will return to chaos, unless he has extraordinary abilities.
But it is obvious that ordinary people do not have this ability, and most ordinary people in small towns have obviously adapted to this kind of life and know the horror of chaos, so no one dares to approach it casually.
The whole small town is preparing for the arrival of the strong men from heaven, and there are many places where mutants like Master Qin and Master Chang accept apprentices for free.
In the face of death, masters no longer cherish what they have learned.
"Hahaha!"
The shouts from the nearby yard attracted Xiao Mu's attention. When Xiao Mu turned his head, he saw a familiar figure.
So, a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.
Duan Ming, the Duan Ming who was refused to leave not long ago because of Senior Brother Guo.
However, unlike the others, this young man named Duan Ming, although he was rejected, practiced again and again against a wooden stake with a kitchen knife.
His practice was not organized, but he worked extremely hard. Every time he used the kitchen knife to cut the wooden pile, he exhausted all his strength.
However, such exercises are of little use.
Xiao Mu couldn't help shaking his head.
Duan Ming worked very hard, but he couldn't practice properly, so this kind of cultivation was meaningless.
"You... why are you shaking your head?"
Duan Ming noticed that someone was paying attention to him, so he stopped practicing suddenly, turned his head, and looked at Xiao Mu unhappily.
Xiao Mu smiled, "I don't think you can practice properly."
"I don't know how to do it. Do you know how to practice? I don't think you don't understand at all. What I practiced just now is an ancestral secret book." Duan Ming was very unconvinced by Xiao Mu's words.
"Ancestral secrets? Maybe." Xiao Mu is not against Duan Ming's so-called ancestral secrets. This is the Eastern Wilderness, which has something to do with the ancient times, not before the world he lives in has not mutated. Maybe there really are ancestral secrets. , but he still shook his head, "But, without a foundation, it's very difficult for you to practice the ancestral secret book."
Duan Ming was stunned. He was surprised by Xiao Mu's words, and asked Xiao Mu very curiously, "Foundation? What is foundation?"
"Why do you think other people can cultivate successfully?" Xiao Mu asked back.
"this… "
Duan Ming stretched out his hand and scratched his head, he is just an ordinary person, he has never even been in contact with different arts, so how can he know how other people cultivated successfully
"Why do you think other people can cultivate successfully?" He threw the question back to Xiao Mu, his attitude seemed a little impolite, but he was simple. Obviously, he was not the kind of impolite person, but he just didn't understand etiquette.
Xiao Mu smiled, and asked again: "Do you know what a strange art is?"
Duan Ming shook his head with a blank look on his face, he had never even heard of strange arts.
"Do you know why mutants are mutants?"
Xiao Mu asked a question again.
Duan Ming was clear about this question, so he responded happily, "Because the mutant has mastered extraordinary abilities."
"hehe!"
Xiao Mu smiled faintly. This young man doesn't know much about the world of mutants, he just heard some secrets related to mutants, and these secrets are nothing at all.
"Then do you know why mutants become mutants?" Xiao Mu asked another question.
Duan Ming had already been attracted by Xiao Mu's words. At this moment, he completely forgot the reason why Xiao Mu appeared at his door. He thought for a while, "Is it because of cultivation?"
He threw the question to Xiao Mu again.
Xiao Mu said with a smile: "Cultivation is only one of the factors. Apart from cultivation, there are other factors. In fact, there are ways to become a mutant."
"Master!"
Duan Ming suddenly knelt down towards Xiao Mu. He kowtowed to Xiao Mu, his forehead hitting the floor with a bang.
"stand up!"
As soon as Xiao Mu stretched out his hand, there was a force that directly supported Duan Ming and helped him up. He had no intention of accepting disciples, but he did not stop Duan Ming from kneeling.
"Master, please teach me to become a mutant."
At this time, Duan Ming had already realized that Xiao Mu was also a member of the Mutants, and he seemed to be stronger than Master Chang and Master Qin.
He was tempted and decided to pester Xiao Mu, hoping to worship Xiao Mu as his teacher.
"I have no plans to accept apprentices, and you don't need to take me as a teacher, but it's not difficult to teach you to become a mutant. Eat it."
While talking, Xiao Mu stretched out his hand to touch the Dadiyin space, and soon, he took out a fire spirit fruit from the Dadiyin space, and threw it to Duan Ming.
"This... what is this?"
Duan Ming looked at the flame rising from the edge of the Fire Spirit Fruit, and was immediately stunned.
"This fruit can make you a mutant, but when you eat it, it will make you very painful. It will make you feel the pain of the flames burning your internal organs. Do you dare to eat it?"
Xiao Mu deliberately described the consequences of eating the fire spirit fruit as terrible.
In the end, Duan Ming didn't think about it at all, picked up the fire spirit fruit, and threw it into his mouth directly.
He swallowed it straight away.
Boom!
Duan Ming's body, the moment he swallowed the fire spirit fruit, a lot of flames gushed out immediately, his whole body was burning with flames, part of the flames even rushed from his eyes, ears, and nose. out.
"ah… "
Duan Ming felt the pain, he screamed after being burned by the flames, his clothes and hair soon turned to ashes.
But although he screamed, he held back, stood where he was, clenched his fists and stiffened.
The flames burned him in great pain, but he gritted his teeth and endured it.
Seeing this, Xiao Mu couldn't help but nodded secretly. This young man's willpower is not weak. Although his aptitude is a bit weaker, that's not the most important factor at all.
The flames gradually disappeared, and the pain Duan Ming suffered gradually weakened.
He looked at Xiao Mu, opened his mouth, and wanted to speak, but just as soon as he opened his mouth, there was a whirring sound from his mouth, and at the same time, violent flames spewed out of his mouth.
But instead of fear, Duan Ming jumped up happily. He was very happy, and shouted while jumping, "I have become a mutant, I have become a mutant."
Xiao Mu turned his head away, couldn't bear to look at it, but couldn't help but said: "Stop! You'd better put on your clothes first."
Only then did Duan Ming realize his gaffe, he quickly stopped jumping, and apologized to Xiao Mu, "I'm sorry, Master."
Before he could finish speaking, he hurried back to the house, and the next moment he came out of the house with his clothes on.
"Thank you, Master."
Duan Ming thanked Xiao Mu, he was very happy, being able to become a mutant is his greatest wish at the moment.
"Don't thank me, I won't be your master either."
Duan Ming was stunned with his mouth open, he couldn't figure out why Xiao Mu refused to be his master.
But Xiao Mu took the opportunity to continue: "Although you have become a mutant, your level is still very low. At present, you are only a junior mutant at most, and your strength is from the first realm of the mortal realm. With this kind of strength, you The last mutant can easily knock you down."
"Is Master concerned about my strength? Please rest assured, Master. I will definitely work hard to cultivate. I will not embarrass Master. I will improve my strength as soon as possible. I work hard and will definitely become a strong man."
Duan Ming hastily made a promise.
Xiao Mu shook his head secretly, what's the use of working hard? If you can succeed in cultivation through hard work, Duan Ming would have succeeded in cultivation early on.
He took out an energy fruit and threw it to Duan Ming, "Eat it."
"This... what is this?" Duan Ming, who had just changed from an ordinary person to a mutant, didn't know the energy fruit, and he took it in his hand in surprise.
Xiao Mu nodded at him, and Duan Ming put the energy fruit into his mouth in doubt.
As a result, as soon as this energy fruit was eaten, the energy immediately exploded in Duan Ming's body.
The high energy made him extremely uncomfortable, Duan Ming sat down while screaming, and began to digest the energy.
Seeing this, Xiao Mu couldn't help being startled.
He gave Duan Ming the energy fruit because he wanted to help him improve his strength, but he ignored that Duan Ming had just stepped into the first stage of the Mortal Realm, and the energy fruit he gave was a high-level energy fruit.
One high-level energy fruit is equal to one hundred ordinary energy fruits.
And an ordinary energy fruit is enough for Duan Ming to upgrade from the first realm of Mortal Realm to the second realm of Mortal Realm.
Seeing Duan Ming absorbing the energy fruit in great pain, Xiao Mu regretted his actions just now.
He shook his head, and immediately began to arrange formations around Duan Ming's body.
This young man can't be disturbed casually at this time, but if he can survive, his strength will at least step into the fourth realm of the Mortal Realm, and he will not be too far away from the fifth realm of the Mortal Realm.
Even, if you are lucky, it is not impossible to step into the fifth realm of the Mortal Realm at once.
After the formation was set up, Xiao Mu took a closer look at Duan Ming inside the formation. After thinking for a while, Xiao Mu turned and walked outside.
It will take some time for Duan Ming to absorb the energy fruit, and he plans to come back after a while.
At that time, if this young man can successfully absorb the energy in the energy fruit, he doesn't mind giving him some more benefits.
But if Duan Ming didn't carry it over and died or something, Xiao Mu would feel guilty.
Slowly leave Duan Ming's house and walk into the distance.
"Please, sir, please give me something to eat. I haven't eaten for three days."
"Give me something to eat, anything you want."
Someone was holding a tattered pottery bowl, begging for food from passers-by.
Seeing Xiao Mu passing by, a little girl came over.
Xiao Mu lowered his head and glanced at the little girl. Seeing that the little girl's clothes were dirty but not torn, she couldn't help but wonder, "Is it because of the arrival of the strong man from the heaven?"
The little girl nodded with a sad face, "Yes, my mother escaped, and my father was injured. When I went out a while ago, I was killed by people from the Heavenly Court, and my family was robbed. I was the only one left with nothing to eat. Sir, give Let's get something to eat, all right."
"poor child!"
Xiao Mu sighed, and took out some food from the Dadiyin space to share with the little girl.
As a result, the beggars next to him saw him take out food, and they gathered around one after another, asking him for food.
Xiao Mu had no choice but to bring out some food.
The generous action attracted more beggars, and a large group of people soon surrounded Xiao Mu.
Such a result made Xiao Mu, who is a righteous god, feel terrified. He hurriedly took out some food, took advantage of a gap, and suddenly escaped and left.
What he carries is limited, and it is difficult to distribute it to everyone.
But after all, he is different from ordinary people. Not long after he escaped, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed forward.
There, is a pear tree.
Xiao Mu put a finger on it, and the power of life was sent out immediately.
As a result, the pear tree blossomed and bore fruit, and ripe fruit appeared in an instant.
"There are pears there."
Xiao Mu reached out and pointed at the pear tree.
The beggars were taken aback for a moment, and then all of them stared at the pear tree in disbelief.
It was winter, and the pear tree actually grew pears? They were in disbelief, but soon burst into cheers.
So, everyone quickly rushed to the pear tree one by one.
In the crowd, screams erupted, and the little girl who initially asked Xiao Mu for food was pushed down and stepped on by the crowd in the chaos.
"So stupid, so stupid!"
A man who looked like a scholar stood outside the crowd and cursed. He stared at those who rushed to the pear trees to grab pears with a look of disdain on his face. At the same time, he continued to curse, "If they are all like this, Then it is not wrong to be killed by the Heavenly Court."
After sighing, the man looked at the little girl who was trampled to the ground, and he reached out to help him, "Little sister, are you okay? I'll help you up."
"Thank you uncle!"
The little girl stood up with the support of the scholar, but as soon as she moved, there was a cracking sound on her legs, and her leg bones were actually broken during the commotion just now.
The little girl wrinkled her face in pain.
"Broken leg? No, sit down first, let me look at it for you." The scholar hurriedly put the little girl down, and knelt down to help her look at her leg.
The little girl sat down obediently.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Mu couldn't help regretting the way he used his life force to make the pear tree grow pears quickly.
If he hadn't done this, there would have been no chaos and the little girl would not have been hurt.
After thinking about it, Xiao Mu, who felt ashamed, suddenly gushed out a life force from the bottom of his feet, and this life force ran along the ground, rushed into the little girl and broke that leg.
"I... Uncle, my legs seem to be recovering."
The little girl cried out in surprise. Just now, she felt warmth coming from her calf, and the original pain completely disappeared, replaced by a comfortable feeling.
"I'll take a look."
The scholar hurriedly checked the little girl's calf, and soon he straightened up in relief, "It seems that your leg is not broken, um, you are lucky. Well, get up, take your things and go back quickly." go home."
"Thank you, uncle."
The little girl took the pottery bowl, thanked the scholar very politely, and ran away quickly.
On the pear tree, a group of people were still fighting over the pears, and some even started fighting. Some of them belonged to a group, occupied the pear tree, and pushed the other person off the tree.
"It makes no sense!"
Seeing this, Xiao Mu suddenly became annoyed. He secretly reached out and hit the pear tree with a mass of death force.
