Set Fire

Chapter 372: Arson

Wang Muran and others were quite puzzled. Qin Mu was riding Long Qilin very slowly, but he still ran ahead of them unexpectedly. Could it be that this fat guy Long Qilin was hiding his strength and pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger?

The three men came forward to exchange greetings. Long Yu looked much better than a few days ago. He was no longer crazy and looked more healthy.

"This is our blacksmith, Grandpa Mute." Qin Mu introduced him to everyone.

The mute grinned and handed the wooden box to Wang Muran. Qin Mu quickly said, "Don't take it!"

Wang Muran was stunned and did not reach out to take it. The mute curled his lips and said something in a babbling voice, complaining that Qin Mu did not know how to respect the elderly.

Qin Mu did not explain. He knew very well how heavy the dumb man's box was. If Wang Muran took it, he would definitely be pressed into the earth.

If the village were to vote for the worst old man, Qin Mu would definitely vote for the mute!

Although Qin Mu had been cheated of all his candied haws by the cripple since he was a child, the cripple was just playing with him. After biting off two candied haws, he would return the rest to him with tears in his eyes.

The mute was the evil guy in the village, with a lot of evil in his heart. From childhood to adulthood, Qin Mu had been cheated by the mute countless times.

"Two days ago, the fighting suddenly stopped. I don't know what happened."

Wang Muran said: "We are on our way, so we can't feel the aura of the gods fighting. But judging from the direction, the place of the fight should be in the middle of Shuzhou and Bazhou."

He took out a map of Yankang State, found Shuzhou and Bazhou, and drew a mark in the middle.

Qin Mu was slightly startled. This was exactly where Granny Si lived!

"The place where those gods fought was not far from Grandma. I'm afraid Grandma is in danger!"

He felt a little uneasy, but the village chief, Qingyoushanren and others had already been there first. They were faster and should have arrived long ago.

Mu Qingdai said: "We are not far from there anymore, less than a thousand miles away, we can get there in half a day!"

Qin Mu took out the golden flute, blew it with his vital energy, and said, "It won't take less than half a day."

A dragon sensed Qin Mu's spirit and immediately shook its body, transforming into a huge monster dozens of feet long. Qin Mu jumped onto the dragon's back, and Long Qilin also jumped on.

"You guys come up, we can get there in half an hour at most." Qin Mu said.

Wang Muran and the others were surprised and confused, and jumped onto the dragon's back one after another. The stag also jumped up, looked at the dragon suspiciously, and then looked suspiciously at the dragon unicorn who was also standing on the dragon's back.

Long Qilin looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose. He lowered his head and ignored the stag's contemptuous look.

The mute also jumped up carrying the box. The dragon, which had been so majestic and ferocious just now, was suddenly pressed to the ground, like a dead snake. Its four claws flapped back and forth, making grooves in the ground, but it could not stand up.

"Grandpa Dumb, get down, get down!"

Qin Mu said quickly: "You are about to crush him to death!"

The mute jumped down angrily and raised his hand to gesture. Qin Mu blushed: "Grandpa Mute, why are you cursing? I'm not being disrespectful to you, but your box is too heavy... Look, you're cursing again!"

Wang Muran and the other two looked at each other.

Qin Mu blew the golden flute, and more than ten dragons flew over and lifted up the dumb man together. The dumb man was satisfied. These dozen dragons were extremely powerful, equivalent to the top leader-level existences. Naturally, the speed of carrying the dumb man was not slow.

The crowd rushed forward at such a fast speed that the trees on both sides passed by in a flash without even being seen in their shadows. All they could see were the hills flying by them. On the dragon's back, the big deer continued to stare at Long Qilin, with a stronger look of contempt in his eyes, and he kept snorting, as if mocking the fat guy.

The dragon unicorn lowered its tail and looked down at the tip of its nose.

Qin Mu was quite relieved: "Fat Long still has a sense of shame. He is not a rotten tree that cannot be carved. If I feed him the Fire Element Divine Yuan Pill again tomorrow, he should not pick it out."

Suddenly, several black, thin-waisted dragons emerged. Some climbed on the treetops, and some flew in the air. They looked up and saw the dragons flying by, surrounding Qin Mu and others.

Qin Mu took a quick glance and was startled.

Mu Qingdai was surprised and asked, "There are very few exotic beasts like Jiaolong, how come they are everywhere now?"

The black dragons flew up, raised their heads and screamed, making strange sounds of "Maha, Maha". Everyone looked back and saw thousands of black dragons flying towards them, forming a black mass that covered the entire mountain.

Then, thousands of black dragons leaped, swam, and flew, chasing after them.

Qin Mu retracted his gaze and turned his head.

"The one who has this ability is naturally the Dragon King! Most of the dragons on the Dragon King are with me. Where did these black dragons come from? They don't look like real dragons."

He opened the Dragon Taming Lord's gluttonous bag and took out the Dragon Taming Sutra from it. He flipped through the book and examined it carefully. There was a passage in the book that talked about nourishing the body with dragon energy.

"Absorb dragon energy, refine your body into a dragon, practice and transform, your skin and muscles will change."

Qin Mu was slightly startled, and turned back to look at the black dragons that were chasing him frantically: "Then these black dragons should be the things on the body of the Dragon King. There are so many of them, they can only be his hair. As expected of a god from heaven, he can refine hair into dragons. Since it is hair, it must be afraid of fire..."

He blinked his eyes, and the sound of the flute changed slightly. The fire dragon that was holding up the mute slowed down, suddenly sank its body, and dived into the forest below.

Qin Mu rode the dragons and continued on his journey, while the black dragons behind them were chasing them madly, like a black cloud.

When the black cloud flew to the sky above where the fire dragon was, suddenly a horrifying true fire swept in from below, instantly covering the sky for dozens of miles. Countless black dragons struggled and burned in the dragon's true fire, and black smoke billowed in the air. In just a moment, the black dragons transformed from the Dragon King's hair were set on fire by the fire dragon controlled by Qin Mu, and burned to ashes.

The fire dragon burned the black dragon, and chased after them, shaking its head and tail. It soon caught up with them and continued to carry the mute on the road.

The mute showed an approving look and gave Qin Mu a thumbs up. Qin Mu smiled shyly and waved his hand: "Grandpa Mute, don't praise me like that..."

Wang Muran, Mu Qingdai and Long Yu stared at each other in wide eyes, watching the thousands of burning black dragons turn into black ashes and fall in the flames, and they all shuddered.

"Mu Ran, you are a good child, you should stay away from the Human Emperor."

Long Yu whispered: "This person is too evil!"

Wang Muran hesitated and said, "Big Brother, when you went crazy, I formed an alliance with him and established the Heavenly Alliance. I am one of the four leaders of the Heavenly Alliance, and now I am on the same boat with him..."

Long Yu's eyes widened, and after a moment, he sighed, "You will be led astray by him."

After a while, the Dragon Master rode on two dragons to the place where Qin Mu had burned the black dragon. His face turned pale as he looked at the black ash all over the mountains. He was so angry that his hands and feet were shaking: "Honest boy, honest boy..."

There were only a few curly hairs left on his head, which he had refined into something alive, and were trembling with fear.

"I will never let you go! Even if you go to heaven or hell, I will find you! Chop you into pieces! Chop you into small pieces!"

He pulled out the remaining few strands of hair. The black hair squeaked in his hands and struggled to get back into the pores. It was obvious that they felt the same way as their fellow man did.

The Dragon-Hustler King had a dark face and blew a breath of dragon air. The strands of hair immediately changed and fell to the ground, transforming into black dragons. It sniffed around and smelled the scent left by other dragons, but did not dare to chase.

"What use are you!"

The Dragon King was furious and shook his head. Several black dragons turned into hair and flew to his head, diving into his pores.

The Dragon Lord cut his wrist, splashing blood. Drops of blood fell to the ground and immediately turned into blood dragons, continuing to search for Qin Mu's whereabouts.

"That's where my mother-in-law lives in seclusion."

Qin Mu stopped playing the flute, looked forward, and was stunned.

Granny Si lived at the foot of a mountain between Bazhou and Shuzhou, next to a clear lake, a very quiet place, but it was deserted and barren. Because Li Tianxing always went out to make trouble, she chose such a place far away from the world.

However, now, what appeared before Qin Mu and others was not barren mountains and wilderness, but an extremely luxurious and magnificent palace complex!

Fairy-like palaces are located one after another, making this remote place look like a fairyland. Tall monuments are carved with dragons and phoenixes, the ground is paved with flat white marble, and the huge golden pillars support the magnificent palace!

The surrounding mountains have also been transformed, with strange rocks and pines, magical herbs everywhere, and colorful flowers, and all kinds of strange beasts and birds roaming around. There are gardens of all sizes everywhere, planting magical herbs, some of which even Qin Mu can't recognize.

Spiritual springs, waterfalls, winding paths, streams and creeks construct a landscape painting of thick and light ink.

Although they all came from famous sects and were accustomed to luxury, Qin Mu and others still felt a little shabby when they walked into such a holy place. They were afraid of dirtying the ground and messing up the layout here.

The mute showed a puzzled look and gestured twice. Qin Mu said blankly: "I don't know either. It was not like this when I came here before... Granny! Granny!"

He called out twice, but no one answered. Only a few big fish jumped out of the water and turned into beautiful women with human hands and fish bodies. They leaned against the rockery in the lake and sang softly on the lake. Their voices were very charming.

Qin Mu uttered two "ahs" and nodded, "It is indeed too luxurious. I don't know how my mother-in-law got it..."

They came to a temple that was so beautifully decorated that they stepped out as soon as they entered, fearing that it would get dirty. But the mute strode in and put down the wooden box.

"Mother-in-law isn't here."

Qin Mu was puzzled, and said to Wang Muran and others: "Grandma should have gone out. Let's wait here for a while. If Grandma doesn't come back before dark, we will leave immediately without stopping for a moment! When it gets dark, it must not be Grandma who comes back, but the old monster!"
