Rebirth of the Innkeeper's Wife: She's Not to Be Messed With

Chapter 124 A Strange Fragrance

When Mu Yang heard this, a look of surprise flashed across his face, clearly not expecting things to go so smoothly.

Immediately, he could not hide his joy and quickly clasped his hands in thanks, then happily reached out and accepted the jade.

Just as he turned to leave, a melodious and clear flute sound suddenly came from afar.

The flute music was like celestial music, melodious and ethereal, seemingly possessing an invisible magic that could penetrate people's hearts and make them involuntarily intoxicated by it.

However, just as everyone was immersed in the beautiful melody, only Huan Yuechu felt a strong sense of unease rising in her heart.

Her expression tightened instantly, and she became alert. She quickly stood up and stood still, her eyes fixed intently on the direction from which the flute music was coming.

At the same time, others around seemed to sense the unusual atmosphere.

They all stopped their ongoing conversation, their expressions solemn and highly vigilant.

Mu Yang frowned and said in a low voice with a serious expression.

"The appearance of this flute music is too strange; there must be some conspiracy or trickery hidden within it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding scenery began to change; the once clear road and forest became blurry and distorted.

Huan Yuechu gripped her longsword tightly and shouted, "Everyone be careful, this might be some kind of formation!"

The group stood back-to-back in a circle, ready for battle.

The flute music grew more urgent, and the fog became increasingly thick, to the point that one could hardly see their own hand in front of their face.

Suddenly, a huge black claw emerged from the mist and reached out to grab them.

Huan Yuechu reacted swiftly, slashing out with her sword, which collided with the claw, sending sparks flying.

Just when everyone thought they were about to face a tough battle, the flute music stopped abruptly, the fog slowly dissipated, and everything returned to normal, leaving only a deep claw mark on the ground as a testament to the thrilling scene that had just unfolded.

The crowd looked at each other, wondering who had done this and why the attack had suddenly stopped.

Huan Yuechu broke the silence first, "No matter who it is, they certainly won't give up so easily. We shouldn't stay here any longer."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and then they all quickened their pace and left the place quickly.

After personally experiencing that thrilling scene, Mu Yang thought to himself: This group of people are definitely extraordinary! Especially since they so readily and decisively gave him the precious jade source stone.

At that moment, Mu Yang had no desire to return to the sect, so he shamelessly asked for permission.

"Fellow Daoists, may I travel with you? My mission has been successfully completed, so I might as well take this opportunity to go out and explore, and broaden my horizons."

However, embarrassingly, everyone present seemed to ignore Mu Yang's request.

They either kept their eyes straight ahead or pretended not to hear at all, completely ignoring Mu Yang's existence.

Seeing this, Mu Yang couldn't help but feel uneasy, but then he thought that since no one objected, he should just assume that they had tacitly approved of him joining the team.

Thinking of this, he quickly took action, took out the jade source stone he had just acquired from his pocket, handed it to his subordinates, and instructed them to bring it back to the sect as soon as possible to report back.

After making the arrangements, Mu Yang was overjoyed and ready to embark on his new adventure—to wander the world and explore the land.

The group continued on their way and soon arrived at a secluded and deep valley.

As soon as you step into the valley, a strange fragrance wafts over and instantly fills the air.

The group looked at each other, their faces filled with confusion and bewilderment.

Just as everyone was filled with doubt, someone with sharp eyes suddenly noticed that there were many magical herbs growing in the valley, shimmering with a faint light.

These magical herbs, like twinkling stars in the night sky, adorn the valley, radiating a captivating glow and a mysterious aura.

Mu Yang's eyes widened, his face filled with undisguised surprise, and his voice trembled slightly with excitement as he spoke.

"Wow, look! These magical herbs are priceless! If we could bring them all back, we could definitely refine countless rare pills! We'd be rich!"

Standing to the side, Huan Yuechu frowned slightly, a sense of unease rising in her heart.

Her beautiful eyes were fixed on the magical herbs, and she murmured softly to herself.

"Things are probably not that simple... The fact that so many precious medicinal herbs could be found so easily might conceal some great danger."

However, before anyone else could react, Wen Xingyu could no longer contain her impulse and rushed forward, reaching out to pick the immortal herbs.

Just as her fingertips touched the immortal herb, a rustling sound suddenly came from all around.

In an instant, countless thick vines surged out from all directions like venomous snakes, tightly binding Wen Xingyu with lightning speed.

Poor Wen Xingyu didn't even have time to utter a cry of alarm before she was firmly bound and unable to move.

At the same time, the previously calm ground began to shake violently.

With a series of muffled rumbles, a huge crack suddenly appeared in the ground.

One by one, grotesque, half-human, half-beast monsters with ferocious faces and bizarre shapes emerged from the crack.

They bared their teeth and claws, spewing a foul stench from their mouths, and uttering chilling roars before charging menacingly at the group.

Upon seeing this sudden turn of events, Huan Yuechu's heart tightened, but she quickly calmed down and shouted loudly.

"Don't panic, everyone! The most important thing is to find a way to save Wen Xingyu!" After saying that, she flashed and rushed towards the trapped Wen Xingyu like a ghost.

On the other side, Mu Yang, seeing this, also unleashed his skills without hesitation.

With a flick of his wrists, dazzling beams of light shot out, forming a massive net of light that trapped some of the monsters in place.

Meanwhile, Huan Yuechu and Xu Yan worked together seamlessly, wielding sharp blades and fiercely cutting down the vines that were entangled with Wen Xingyu.

After a lot of hard work, they finally managed to cut the vines and rescue Wen Xingyu.

At this point, more people had the strength to join the fierce battle.

In an instant, shouts of battle, roars of anger, and the clash of weapons echoed throughout the valley.

After a thrilling and intense battle, the group finally managed to wipe out all the monsters with their tenacious fighting spirit and outstanding martial arts skills.

Looking at the chaotic battlefield, Wen Xingyu lowered her head in shame and said remorsefully.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. If I hadn't acted rashly and impulsively, we wouldn't have ended up in such a dangerous situation."
