Chapter 277: Chapter 246: Black Fog Valley_1
Under the pressure of Xu Mu’s spiritual power, the black slug’s body emitted a touch of black light, proving it was not a common parasite.
Although it was a parasitic insect, it was merely a tier one parasitic insect. It was likely that Chen Xiong was inadvertently infected rather than deliberately “bugged” by someone.
Xu Mu did not spend too much time investigating. He used a sealing skill and sealed the bug away, storing it in his storage bag. Then, he performed a healing skill on Chen Xiong.
Chen Xiong, who was originally moribund, immediately rejuvenated.
“Thank you, Immortal Master, for saving my life! Thank you, Immortal Master!”
Chen Xiong got up and knelt on the ground, expressing his gratitude profusely. Chen Qingshan and her mother also knelt down again to thank him.
Xu Mu waved his hand, signaling them to stand up.
Just then, there was a commotion outside the house. An elder with hair and beard as white as snow, walked into the room, assisted by a middle-aged man.
“Old man pays his respect to the Immortal Master!”
The elder, shaking visibly, wanted to salute Xu Mu but was stopped by Xu Mu’s gesture.
“And you are?”
“I am an elder of Chen Family Village! This is the village chief of Chen Family Village, my grandson, Chen Yan!”
The elder indicated the robust middle-aged man who was assisting him.
“I pay my respects to the Immortal Master!”
Chen Yan also bowed to Xu Mu.
“You are too courteous!” Xu Mu nodded and said, “This is my first visit here. I want to inquire about something. Who in the village is well-informed and can help me?”
“When I was young, I joined the army and have seen a bit of the world. I might be able to answer Immortal Master’s questions!” the elder volunteered.
“That’s great!” Xu Mu smiled.
“Immortal Master, this place is a bit cramped. How about we move to my house?” Chen Yan suggested tentatively.
“Sure!”
Xu Mu nodded.
The house of Chen Qingshan indeed seemed a bit small, and it was surrounded by curious onlookers.
Although the Chen family was somewhat reluctant to see Xu Mu leave their house, they didn’t say anything. Their house was indeed small. If they insisted on keeping Xu Mu there, it might seem selfish and self-serving.
When Xu Mu stepped out of the house, he saw that the street was packed with people. He couldn’t help but frown.
“Have you all seen enough?”
With a cold scoff from Xu Mu, the spectators felt a chill from head to toe. Some were even so frightened that they collapsed to the ground.
At this moment, Chen Yan also reacted, yelling at several respected middle-aged men in the village, “Why are you not driving these people away? Want to lose your lives?”
The crowd realized then that they were not dealing with an ordinary person but an Immortal Master who could take their lives with a simple gesture.
Under the urging of several leaders, the terrified villagers quickly dispersed.
“Let’s speak here in the courtyard! It’s unnecessary to keep moving around!”
Annoyed by these villagers, Xu Mu decided not to go to the village chief’s house anymore and began to inquire in the courtyard.
“Yes!”
The elder and Chen Yan certainly did not dare to object, but they couldn’t help feeling a bit regretful in their hearts. If Xu Mu had moved to their house, their prestige within the village would have surely risen.
Seeing that Xu Mu was not leaving, Chen Qingshan’s family immediately began to prepare a meal for him. It was then that Xu Mu remembered the wild boar he had hunted. He took it out of his storage bag and handed it to them for preparation.
