Chapter 87: What's the harm in traveling through countless time and space to save you?
Inside this black wooden box are two oval-shaped pieces of jet-black amber.
After careful observation, he found that this was not just amber, but rather a pair of eyeballs. When Su Mu's eyes came into contact with this pair of oval amber, he was stunned.
The feeling was as if he and a pair of eyes were looking into each other's eyes, separated by countless spaces and countless times. It was very strange, but very real.
He was so scared that he quickly closed the black wooden box. After closing it, the feeling of being watched disappeared instantly.
Considering the finger bones, ribs, etc. that Su Mu dug out from other tombstones, this pair of dark oval amber could really be a pair of eyes!
However, it is different from other tombstones.
It is very strange that the tombstone used to bury the eyes is made of a black wooden box that looks very ordinary and is easy to open.
Suddenly, Su Mu felt the air getting colder, and the strange feeling of coldness became more and more obvious.
Moreover, there were clearly many fireflies flying in the cemetery just a second ago, but they all fled away in this second. The black fog outside the cemetery was constantly pouring in.
Su Mu felt something was wrong. This place was too weird. He couldn't stay here any longer. If he stayed any longer, something might happen.
Looking at the black wooden box under his feet, Su Mu gritted his teeth, put it directly into his sleeve, turned around and walked quickly towards the entrance.
He had been delayed here for so long, time had been wasted, and the grave had been dug. If he didn't bring anything back, Su Mu would be very upset.
So, even though this black box with eyes in it looks a bit weird, I am still prepared to run away with it.
Fortunately, I had marked the road I had just come from, so even though the black fog was thick, I wouldn't get lost.
It took almost half an hour before we finally walked out of the dense forest and arrived at the river.
It can’t be said that this trip was completely fruitless. This is the only way Su Mu can comfort himself.
He walked to the old blue ox and saw that it was already lying down and sleeping.
When it saw Su Mu coming back, it was also startled. It jumped up instantly and looked at Su Mu in surprise.
Seeing Qingniu's reaction, Su Mu looked at himself from below. Is there anything strange about himself?
"what?!"
"I was gone for three months?!"
It learned from the old blue ox that it had disappeared for three months and thought it had encountered some danger and would not be able to come back.
During these three months, Old Qingniu's waiting was extremely tormenting.
I kept thinking, if something unexpected happened to him and he couldn't come back, wouldn't I be tied up here for the rest of my life? !
Su Mu calculated the time. It was only a few hours since he went in there. How could three months have passed?
Could it be that the time at the cemetery just now was messed up?
This is not impossible, because Su Mu learned from some ancient books that some independent and special spaces have a different flow of time from the outside world. It seems that the cemetery he just entered is actually a special independent space?
It seems that coming back in time was a wise decision.
Su Mu untied the rope tied to the tree around the blue ox's neck, and then sat on its back.
Then he looked upstream and found that it was full of thick black fog. This place was already very upstream. He did not plan to go upstream anymore and prepared to go home.
"Let's go back the way we just came while the fog is light."
After saying this, the blue ox carried Su Mu and headed downstream.
[Congratulations! You saved a stranded silver carp and sent it back to the river. Favor points +300]
[Congratulations! You have cleared the floating debris on the river surface and purified the waters. Favor Points +500]
[Congratulations! You cleared the debris along the river and maintained the river. Favor points +200]
Along the way, Su Mu walked and stopped, maintaining the river, cleaning up garbage, saving fish, and paying attention to the rising water!
After only walking one-tenth of the distance, Su Mu had already earned 5,000 favor points!
Since this section of the river was Su Mu’s first time, there were a lot of gravel, garbage, etc. piled up on the river, and these were all points of concern!
In this way, Su Mu took five days to complete a three-day journey.
In the past five days, he roughly calculated that he had earned about 30,000 Favor Points! Normally, earning 1,000 Favor Points a day would be very good. In five days, he earned the same amount of Favor Points as one or two months. He was so happy.
Finally, they arrived at the river that Su Mu was familiar with, which was where he often patrolled.
The old blue ox was already exhausted and out of breath.
"Hold on a little longer, we'll be home soon."
Su Mu touched the green ox. It was indeed much more convenient to have a mount.
After returning to the stone house, Su Mu jumped off the cow's back and let out a long breath.
The next second, a willow branch fell to Su Mu's ear and gently rubbed his cheek.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Su Mu said to Liu Shu with a smile.
This was the first time that he had been missing for three months at a time. As the housekeeper who helped him look after the house, Liu Shu, of course, was extremely worried.
Seeing the old blue cow panting with exhaustion, Su Mu asked, "Do you want to eat meat?"
Hearing this question, Qingniu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
Hearing this, Su Mu waved his hand, and a large piece of fish meat appeared in his hand. He said, "What a pity. Since you don't eat meat, I'll find some grass to feed you."
After seeing the piece of meat in Su Mu's hand, Qingniu's eyes lit up, indicating that he was a meat eater!
Then, Su Mu threw a piece of precious fish meat in his hand to Qingniu.
Qingniu ate all the precious fish meat in one bite. All the fatigue in his body disappeared completely, and his aura became much stronger.
At this moment, Qingniu's heart was a little shaken, and it was considering whether to accept this new master.
After all, it has followed Jiang Gong for so many years, and it is difficult for it to let go of the obsession and grudge in its heart.
But now, it had to reconsider. This new master lived in the River of Time. He was so powerful that he could easily defeat Jiang Gong and eat powerful creatures in the River of Time at will. For it, it was an unparalleled opportunity to follow such a supreme being.
After a brief struggle, it finally made up its mind, let go of its obsession, and completely accepted and submitted to its new master.
Only by following this master, it has the opportunity to see a world it has never seen before and come into contact with things it has never dared to imagine before.
Su Mu had just sat down.
Then he sensed a strong spiritual induction coming from the river bank.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of something and ran quickly towards the river.
When we arrived at the river bank, we found that the small loach, the rays, the silver snakes, and the small koi had all come to the shore, looking extremely worried and anxious.
Only after seeing their owners did they feel completely relieved.
"Okay, I'm fine."
Because three months ago, Su Mu summoned the dolphins in the strange "dead waters" upstream.
But they couldn't find the waters they were in, so they could only worry. Plus, they had been missing for three months, so they probably thought something had happened to them.
The little loach, the rays, the silver snake, and the little koi really thought that something had happened to Su Mu.
Little did they know that the four of them traveled through countless spaces and experienced countless times, and found a treasure with the belief that they would revive their master even if he died.
"What baby?"
"Let me see."
Su Mu was moved when he learned that the four brothers and sisters had worked together to find a treasure that could save his life.
