Overall, Luo Mu is quite satisfied with this set of flying needle weapons. Now that he is lacking a skill weapon, he can use it to practice his skills. When he fully masters this set of flying needles, it will definitely play a big role in future battles.

Of the four items specially selected, the first two made Luo Mu very disappointed. It was not until the third item that Luo Mu felt completely happy.

Carefully putting the entire set of flying needles into Storage Bag, Luo Mu set his sights on the last item, which was the two-foot-long gray wooden box.

"I wonder if what is inside this will make me excited again after I just calmed down." With an insatiable smile on his face, Luo Mu picked up the wooden box.

The wooden box was extremely heavy, which made Luo Mu's face slightly agitated, his curiosity became more serious, and the smile on his face became thicker. With a gentle pull of his hands, the smile on Luo Mu's face froze. The wooden box did not open as easily as he imagined, but remained motionless and showed no reaction.

Luo Mu Although Luo Mu has not exerted any force, Nine Transformations Demon God has cultivated to the second level. Not only has his body's toughness become stronger, but his strength has also increased several times, making him infinitely powerful.

It seems like a light pull, but the force is actually quite strong.

"Is there a switch?" Luo Mu didn't succeed in the attack. Instead of recklessly increasing his strength and forcibly opening the wooden box, he flipped the wooden box back and forth, searching for the presence of a switch.

After the meal, Luo Mu had a puzzled expression on his face. Except for the densely packed runes scattered around the entire wooden box, there were no other switches or locking positions.

Looking at the wooden box in his hand, but unable to open it, Luo Mu felt very depressed.

I don't know what was in the box, and Luo Mu didn't dare to force it open. If the things inside were extremely valuable, and if I accidentally destroyed the contents of the box by forcing it open, Luo Mu would probably regret it to death.

As an iron cock, he would never do such a thing!

"If you want to open the wooden box, it seems you have to start with the runes on the box." After a long time, Luo Mu, who still had no results, could only place his hope of opening the wooden box on the runes all over the box.

These runes are obscure and difficult to understand. Luo Mu asked himself that he has never seen them before. Understanding them is definitely not a problem that can be solved in a short time.

Originally, Luo Mu wanted Han Yue to come out and have a look. Maybe she had a lot of experience and knew the runes on the box. However, before Luo Mu entered Poison Miasma Forest that day, Han Yue entered a state of seclusion, saying that she wanted to break through the bottleneck of Blood Spirit Grand Method and condense her physical body.

Once the physical body is successfully condensed, it means that Han Yue has successfully broken through to the level of cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Now, she has not yet awakened from the state of seclusion. Forcibly awakening her will definitely cause a lot of harm to her, and may cause the breakthrough to fail.

Taking such a big risk to wake up Han Yue for the unknown value of something in the box is obviously too reckless, and Luo Mu will definitely not do this.

"When she wakes up, ask her again to see if she recognizes this kind of rune." With a decision in mind, Luo Mu had no choice but to temporarily put the wooden box into Storage Bag.

"Huh~~~" After counting everything, Luo Mu let out a heavy breath and said, "The feeling of getting rich instantly is really refreshing."

Smiling softly, Luo Mu stood up and walked towards cave abode.

Coming to an empty space with no people, Luo Mu released White Jade Ant and the remaining ten Mutated Plum Blossom Giant Python. After feeding, he called out Flying Artifact and went to Poison Miasma Forest.

Li Xiu has already retreated. Han Xu, Tower Mountain and Qiu Xuelin will also enter the retreat state later, breaking through the bottleneck of Qi Refining Stage's peak. If Poison Miasma Forest and Luo Mu don't guard, there will really be no one in front of them.

Of course, one reason is to guard Poison Miasma Forest to prevent Green Gauze Fruit from being stolen, and another reason is because Poison Miasma Forest is the best place for Luo Mu to practice.

Poison Spirit Art has just broken through to the fourth level, and his cultivation level has only been upgraded to Foundation Establishment Early Stage. At this time, Luo Mu needs to be consolidated. And Poison Miasma Forest is tailor-made for Luo Mu. While consolidating the skills and cultivation level, you can also practice the second level Nine Transformations Demon God. Why not?

Arriving outside Poison Miasma Forest, Luo Mu easily used the array disk to open the repaired formation and entered Poison Miasma Forest. However, with Luo Mu's current understanding of the formation, even without the formation disk in hand, as long as it takes a little time, he can still break through the protective formation outside Poison Miasma Forest and enter inside.

Arriving in Poison Miasma Forest, Luo Mu once again returned to the place where he fought the short monk last time. It was one of the areas with the densest poisonous fog in Poison Miasma Forest. Luo Mu would definitely get twice the result with half the effort if he practiced.

In the surrounding dense forest, there are still traces of the battle that day, and the intensity of the battle that day can be seen at a glance. The corpses of the three Mutated Plum Blossom Giant Python have gradually decayed, and their remains are scattered on the ground.

"You have done your duty, alas~~" With a sad look in his eyes, Luo Mu sighed in a low voice, and then stamped his foot on the ground hard, as if he was venting something, while Luo Mu's body rose into the air.

"Boom!" There was a loud noise, and the whole ground shook, and a huge pit appeared under Luo Mu. With a wave of his sleeves, a strong wind blew up, rolling up all the dead branches and rotten leaves on the ground. Three Mutated Plum Blossom Giant Python's stumps, along with the yellow leaves, were blown into the huge pit.

When the last of the yellow leaves flying in the sky fell, Luo Mu buried the giant pit with soil. Luo Mu had been seriously injured before, and now he came to Poison Miasma Forest again. Of course, Luo Mu must first dispose of Plum Blossom Giant Python's body and let it be buried.

As for the corpses of the three short monks, when they were repairing the formation that day, Li Xiu and the others did not pay attention to it, let alone deal with it. After Luo Mu arrived, they directly hung the corpses of the three people. On the big tree outside Poison Miasma Forest, it was a reminder to the monks who had the idea of Green Gauze Fruit, letting them know that Green Gauze Fruit is not so easy to get.

After doing all this, Luo Mu started to meditate, first consolidating his own cultivation...

"Brother, this is Poison Miasma Forest. As far as I know, there are quite a lot of Green Gauze Fruits here!" The second night after Luo Mu arrived at Poison Miasma Forest, two figures outside Poison Miasma Forest appeared. They stood cautiously outside the guarding formation, and one of them whispered to the other.

"Well, it's just that Poison Miasma Forest's protective formation is not that easy to break into." Another monk nodded and looked above Poison Miasma Forest. There, there was a giant light mask invisible to the naked eye, covering the entire Poison Miasma Forest.

It cannot be seen with the naked eye, but Divine Sense can clearly feel it.

"This guardian formation is indeed a bit difficult. Although I know the formation, I don't have the ability to break it. However, I know that once midnight reaches midnight, the defensive power of this formation will be reduced a lot. At that time, we can use the magic weapon purchased at a high price to quietly break a hole in the formation, and we can easily enter Poison Miasma Forest."

"Be careful when breaking the formation. I heard that Poison Miasma Forest is guarded by many Wanfa Sect disciples."

"Don't worry, brother, I have my own sense of caution. By the way, do you have more poison-proof pills? The poison mist in Poison Miasma Forest is quite toxic."

"The amount of poison-avoiding pills can last for two days and is fully sufficient for our operation."

"That's good. Hey, what is that?" The monk who spoke first suddenly let out a sigh, looked to his right, and pointed with his finger.

Under a big tree, three vague shadows swayed in the wind.

Looking in the direction of the finger, another monk frowned and said with some uncertainty, "What hangs on the big tree seems to be the corpses of three people."

Although the night was completely dark, the eyesight of a cultivator was beyond the reach of ordinary people, and he could roughly see what was hanging under the big tree.

"Go over and have a look!" The monk who spoke first changed his face slightly, and then slowly approached the big tree. The other person also followed cautiously.

"It is indeed the corpses of three people. It seems that they were probably killed by the disciples of the Wanfa Sect after they failed to sneak into Poison Miasma Forest to steal Green Gauze Fruit." The monk who spoke first said with an ugly expression.

How could he not know that hanging the bodies of the three people here was nothing more than a demonstration to monks like them who had Green Gauze Fruit ideas?

"It turns out that there are three unlucky guys who have no strength and dare to take Green Gauze Fruit's idea. Why don't they come here to die?" The elder brother-level monk said with a sneer on his face and a look of disdain on his face.

Another monk nodded, agreeing with his elder brother's statement. However, when he saw the rotten face of one of them, his expression suddenly became shocked.

Sensing something strange about his younger brother, the eldest brother looked at him with confusion and said, "What's wrong? Could it be that he has seen a ghost?"

"This person... I know this person." The younger brother stuttered a little, pointed at a monk among the three who could vaguely be seen wearing a gray robe, and said in a trembling tone.
