Prehistoric: The female saint Shiji, brilliant and talented

This wooden stick is very peculiar, with intricate patterns carved on its surface, exuding an ancient and vicissitudes of life atmosphere.

He had never seen or heard of such a stick.

"Could this be the legendary fairy tree?" Li Mu asked in surprise, with stars in his eyes.

"Immortal wood?" Houyi was puzzled. He didn't understand what this thing was, but his intuition told him that this wooden stick was not simple.

"The Immortal Tree is an innate spiritual treasure born in the chaos. It contains a great deal of essence and is more precious than anything else in the world."

"According to records, the immortal tree was born in a holy place somewhere in the chaos. The exact location is unknown. It is unknown how many years it took for it to grow into a towering giant tree."

"This wood has powerful energy. If it can be absorbed and refined, it will be of great benefit to both the body and the soul."

"Moreover, the immortal wood has the effect of creating good fortune. If you can obtain it, it can prolong your life and increase your lifespan."

Li Mu told Houyi the story in detail about the origin of the fairy tree, which made Houyi suddenly realize and was very excited.

The tribal warriors fought all year round, licking blood on the blade every day, suffering from numerous injuries, and could lose their lives at any time.

Houyi and Li Mu are both tribal leaders, shouldering the responsibility of protecting their people. Naturally, they hope that their people will be healthy, live long, and enjoy a happy and prosperous life.

"Fairy tree, oh fairy tree, where are you?" Houyi murmured to himself, full of expectation.

After Li Mu finished speaking, he looked into the depths of the valley and said with fear in his eyes: "Let's be careful now. This place is too strange. I always feel that there is danger hidden in the dark."

Houyi nodded in agreement. Although he was unwilling, he had no choice. They were not reckless men and knew what was important and what was not.

They had taken a few steps when they suddenly stopped.

"What's going on?" Li Mu frowned and asked in confusion.

Houyi didn't say anything, but looked around vigilantly, his eyes flickering and full of solemnity.

He sensed a dangerous aura in the nearby void, as if he was being stared at by something, and his hair stood on end.

"The demon tribe may still have some tricks up their sleeves." Houyi said in a low voice.

"The demon clan, weren't they all annihilated?" Li Mu was stunned and found it hard to believe.

“Who knows? Maybe there are still remnants of the demon clan hiding in the dark waiting for an opportunity to strike. They should not be underestimated.” Houyi said.

"Yes, I know." Li Mu nodded and his expression became more cautious.

The tribal warriors around also felt uneasy and did not dare to let their guard down.

They looked around, searching for traces left by the demon clan, trying to find hidden dangers.

Not long after, they discovered that there were quite a few magical herbs growing in the woods outside the valley.

However, these elixirs have long since withered and are worthless, and no one knows how many years they have been dead.

"These spiritual herbs haven't rotted yet, which means the demons haven't picked them all."

Xuanyuan pondered and said, "These spiritual medicines contain abundant spiritual power. Even if they are useless, if we take them back and cultivate them, we will definitely be able to cultivate high-quality spiritual medicines, which will be of great help in improving the strength of our tribal warriors."

"Yes, Brother Xuanyuan is right. As the saying goes, make the best use of everything. There are spiritual medicines everywhere here. If we move them back and cultivate them, we can definitely grow high-quality spiritual medicines." Li Mu said excitedly.

"Okay, everyone, get to work and move away quickly." Xuanyuan gave the order immediately.

The tribal warriors were extremely excited, and they all started digging up the magical herbs with their roots and putting them into their backpacks.

"Alas, it's a pity that the spiritual medicine here has lost its vitality, otherwise it could be transplanted back and planted in the tribe."

Houyi sighed and said regretfully.

Li Mu shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother Hou Yi, don't feel sorry. Although the spiritual herbs here are withered and dead, they are not useless. We can move them back and plant them, and then slowly cultivate them."

"Well, that's the only way." Houyi nodded.

The two men, along with the tribal warriors, moved all the elixirs into backpacks and left.

"Brother Houyi, where are we going?" Li Mu asked.

"Since we have come here, we must explore it in depth to see if there are any other mysteries in this valley?" Houyi said.

"Well, I also want to know if there are any other secrets in this valley." Li Mu said.

Afterwards, several people led the tribal warriors and advanced into the depths of the valley.

The valley was very large, and it took them half an incense stick of time to reach the end. A cliff appeared in front of them, blocking their way.

"Brother Houyi, there are cliffs in this valley, which were obviously formed by the rampage of ferocious beasts." Li Mu made a guess after observing for a moment.

"I guess it was done by a vicious beast."

Hou Yi pondered for a moment and continued, "You said that this is the only way to the Chaos Sea. I think it must be the ferocious beasts that are blocking us."

"After all, we are not Chaos Apes. They should not be afraid of us."

"Yeah, I think so too." Li Mu nodded in agreement.

Ferocious beasts have low intelligence and only know how to attack their enemies instinctively, so I don't bother to get entangled with them.

“This cliff looks smooth and solid, but there are cracks. Perhaps it is a passage leading to other places.”

Houyi looked at the cliff carefully, and the more he looked, the more he felt that it looked like it had been chopped by a sharp weapon.

"Brother Houyi is really amazing. He can see through the mysteries here with just his naked eyes." Li Mu praised.

“Haha, it’s just a trifle, not that impressive.” Houyi said modestly.

Li Mu smiled and said, "Brother Hou Yi is too polite. If it were me, I probably wouldn't even recognize you."

"There are cracks on this cliff, indicating that it has been cut by a sharp weapon."

Hou Yi said: "We will move forward along the cracks, and perhaps we will find other clues."

"Yeah." Li Mu nodded, agreeing with Hou Yi's suggestion.

The tribal warriors followed and moved forward along the cracks.

Behind, there was a light mist that blocked the view.

"What's going on?" everyone asked in surprise, not understanding where the fog came from.

"When the mist disperses, there must be something strange here." Houyi said.

"The fog is getting thicker, so we better be careful."

Li Mu gave instructions to everyone, then drew his weapons to guard against the dangers lurking in the mist.

Suddenly, everyone heard a deafening roar of a beast that resounded through the sky and shocked the world.

That was the roar of a ferocious beast, extremely violent.

Hearing the roar of the ferocious beast, Houyi and others became frightened and stopped at the same time.

"Why are there ferocious beasts here? Could they be the remnants of the demon race?"

"I'm not sure. It's better to be careful." Houyi said solemnly.

"Brother Houyi, you guys should step back first." Li Mu said seriously.

Houyi and others nodded slightly and retreated quickly.

The beast's angry roars became more and more violent, making their hearts tremble and their hair stand on end.

In the mist, it seemed as if something terrible was approaching, giving people an inexplicable sense of panic.

"Brother Houyi, look, is there a cave here?" Li Mu pointed at the dark shadow looming in the mist.

"There are indeed caves, and there are more than that." Houyi nodded.

There are seven or eight caves in the mist, and each cave is very huge.

"What the hell is this place?" Li Mu frowned and asked in confusion.

Hou Yi stared at the cave in the mist and said, "This should be the cave left behind by a powerful person after his death."

"The spiritual energy in this valley is very abundant, which means that there used to be spiritual medicines here." "Brother Houyi, are there any ferocious beasts in these caves?" Li Mu asked worriedly.

Hou Yi said: "Although these caves are large, no ferocious beasts have been seen, which means that these ferocious beasts are unwilling to enter the caves."

Li Mu asked: "Brother Hou Yi, what should we do? Should we continue exploring?"

"Let's not rush in for now. Let me investigate clearly first and then decide on the next course of action." Houyi refused without even thinking.

"Yes." Li Mu nodded in agreement.

"Brother Houyi, there is a light over there. Let's go and take a look." Suddenly, a tribal warrior pointed at the cave entrance on the left and shouted.

"Let's go and take a look," said Houyi.

Afterwards, Hou Yi and Li Mu ran quickly and rushed towards the cave entrance on the left.

The cave entrance on the left was extremely dark, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

There are a lot of rubble around the cave entrance, which looks like the traces left by a huge rock that fell and hit the nearby area.

The entrance of the cave is very deep, at least over a hundred meters, and its diameter is thirty or four meters wide, which is very huge.

The cave entrance was dark and filled with gusts of cold wind, which was freezing cold.

"It's so cold." The warrior who entered the cave was shivering and shaking all over.

Houyi looked solemn, his eyes flashing with golden light, scanning the entire cave, alert and vigilant.

"Brother Houyi, this cave is a bit weird. Have you noticed that it is empty and there is not even any trace of ferocious beasts?" Li Mu said.

"I found something wrong. As soon as we entered the valley, it became cold here." Houyi said.

"Could it be that a ferocious beast is causing trouble?" Li Mu asked.

"It's possible, but don't worry, this cave is very safe." Houyi said confidently.

As soon as Houyi finished speaking, bursts of shrill screams were suddenly heard.

Immediately afterwards, the angry roar of the ferocious beast was heard, shaking the sky.

Hearing the screams, Hou Yi and Li Mu's faces suddenly changed and they immediately rushed towards the source of the screams.

The cave was dark, empty and silent, with only the screams echoing.

"These screams should be the sounds of ferocious beasts. Are there ferocious beasts here?" Li Mu said in a deep voice.

“Whether there are ferocious beasts or not, there are always fluctuations of life. Let’s find them quickly.” Houyi said.

After Houyi finished speaking, he launched a fierce attack and frantically searched the cave, hoping to find traces of life.

Unfortunately, they searched the cave thoroughly but still found nothing.

"Brother Li Mu, Brother Hou Yi, look, there is blood here." Suddenly, the other two warriors said excitedly.

Hearing this, Hou Yi and Li Mu rushed over hurriedly.

Sure enough, there were bloodstains on the ground.

The bloodstains were very fresh, as if they had just flowed out.

"This color of blood seems familiar. Could it be the blood of the demon race?" Li Mu pondered.

"It should be correct. It seems that our guess is correct. There are indeed remnants of the demon tribe hiding here." Houyi said with narrowed eyes.

"Brother Houyi, what should we do next? Kill them all?" Li Mu asked.

Hou Yi shook his head and said, "Don't pay attention to them. Let's leave here as soon as possible to avoid trouble."

"Okay." Li Mu nodded helplessly.

Immediately, Houyi led the tribal warriors deeper into the valley.

The cave is very long and winding, and it is impossible to tell which path leads to where.

Hou Yi, Li Mu and the others had no choice but to move forward, hoping to encounter some living creatures.

Unfortunately, they were destined to be disappointed. As they walked in the cave, they saw almost nothing except various rocks and weeds.

The cave was very dark, you couldn't see your hand in front of you, it was scary.

Houyi took out a torch and lit it, illuminating the dark cave, but it was blocked by the rocks and could not shine too far.

"There are quite a few skeletons here. They are all corpses that have been dead for many years. They must have been eaten by some ferocious beasts."

Hou Yi observed for a moment and said, "It seems that these beasts hid here to heal their wounds after fighting with humans."

"Let's be careful and don't touch them," Houyi warned.

"I know. We don't take this kind of low-level beast seriously." Li Mu said with a sneer.

Houyi smiled without saying anything and led everyone deeper into the valley.

"Brother Houyi, there seems to be a light ahead." Suddenly, someone said in surprise.

Upon hearing this, Hou Yi and Li Mu both showed excitement.

"We finally see the light. Let's go take a look." Houyi said expectantly and ran towards the light first.

Houyi led everyone through the dark cave, and what came into view was a vast and deep rock wall.

There are many ancient and mysterious patterns carved on the rock walls, and it is difficult to understand their meaning.

There are many caves next to the rock wall, and light is emitted from each cave.

"Where do these lights come from? Why are there such a large number of caves?" Houyi was confused.

Li Mu stared at the rock wall, stunned, and said, "Brother Houyi, do you think these caves are special?"

Houyi looked in the direction of Li Mu's finger, and saw that above the densely packed caves, there were actually fist-sized beads emitting a pale white glow.

The bead is about the size of a thumb, contains rich and pure energy fluctuations, and releases soft white light.

"There's something strange about those beads." Houyi said in a deep voice.

Houyi's feeling could not be wrong. The aura emitted by those beads was extremely terrifying, making him feel oppressed.

"I'll go try those beads." Li Mu said.

"Be careful." Houyi reminded.

Li Mu didn't hesitate and jumped directly to the top of the cave and took off the largest bead.

"Haha, it's really a treasure. It can actually make people hallucinate. It's simply a psychedelic bead." Li Mu said ecstatically.

"Li Mu, what interesting things have you found?" Houyi came to the top of the cave and asked.

"Brother Houyi, take a look at these beads. I think they are the treasures of the demon clan, otherwise they would not be here." Li Mu handed the beads to Houyi.

Houyi took the bead and looked at it carefully, but did not see anything special about it.

"How did you know that?" Houyi asked.

Li Mu chuckled and said, "Brother Hou Yi, the energy of these beads is very strong. They are definitely treasures."

"Since it is a treasure, put it away quickly." Houyi urged.

"Okay, I'll put it away right away." Li Mu nodded.

Hou Yi threw the bead to Li Mu and turned around to continue searching.

At this moment, a loud rumbling sound suddenly was heard, like an earthquake, causing the cave to shake violently.

"What happened?" Houyi frowned slightly, with an ominous premonition in his heart.

Li Mu also felt the earthquake and looked confused, but he didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was the vibration caused by the ground cracking. (End of this chapter)
