Creation Color Master

A group of villagers poured out of the village, among whom the middle-aged man who shouted "Murder!" was surrounded and came to the village entrance.

The villagers surrounded Chu Mo and his group with unfriendly attitude.

Suddenly, Chu Mo had a bad feeling in his heart.

A burly, tall and mighty man came out and said, "Da Kui, what happened? Who died in our village?"

The middle-aged man came out tremblingly, pointed in a direction and said, "Village chief, I wanted to go into the mountains to chop firewood early this morning, but I found a bloodstain all over the ground, and found this at the scene."

As he spoke, two objects were thrown on the ground, making a clinking sound.

Chu Mo looked carefully and found that they were the night watchmen's sticks and gongs. The identity of the deceased was self-evident.

Chu Mo even felt a hint of strange ghostly aura from the two objects.

As if he had thought of something, the village chief looked towards Chu Mo and said, "Outsider, why are you here?"

Chu Mo saw the hostility in the village chief's eyes and knew that he had misunderstood, so he explained: "Hello, village chief. I am Chu Mo, a student who wants to go to the imperial capital to participate in the Dengtiance exam. I passed by here. I hope the village chief will accept my condolences for this unfortunate incident."

The burly man looked at Chu Mo carefully and said, "You look like a scholar. Then tell me, why don't you go along the official road, but come to this remote place instead?"

Chu Mo admitted very frankly: "Because it took more than ten days for me to get here, I am afraid that I will not have enough time to walk along the official road, so I want to go through the forest here and take a shortcut."

At this time, a villager stood up and shouted excitedly: "Village chief, he lied. The forest in the back mountain is full of monsters and dangers. Who would give up the good official road and come here? I think they killed Lao Wang."

Upon hearing this, Chu Mo became slightly angry. He had made the explanation just because he was afraid that the other party would misunderstand him. Now, he was misunderstood as a murderer before he even entered the village gate. He was really in trouble.

Chu Mo didn't want to get involved, so he quickly said, "Village Chief, we really have no ill intentions. It's just a coincidence that we came here and encountered this kind of thing. I hope the village chief can find out the truth and not frame good people."

The village chief looked at Chu Mo, who had an extraordinary temperament and was wearing decent clothes, and felt that he had no reason to kill the night watchman Old Wang.

But the villager shouted, "Village chief, no matter if it's true or not, arrest him first. It won't be too late to release him after we find out the truth."

At this time, Yang Jiye behind him was furious. Since ancient times, when the master is humiliated, the minister will die. His master has repeatedly humbled himself, but this villager actually went further and further. It was truly unforgivable.

All of a sudden, his aura exploded, and the spirit of war burst out, even the sound of swords and weapons rang out around him, and a murderous intent rushed straight towards the villager who spoke.

"How dare you to frame my young master for no reason. How despicable! My young master doesn't even bother to kill an ant."

Yang Jiye's voice was like thunder in everyone's ears, extremely intimidating.

The villager who framed Chu Mo collapsed to the ground, with feces and urine flowing everywhere, and was completely incontinent due to fear.

The village chief also knew that he had offended someone, so he hurriedly said: "Don't blame me, sir. This incident is really too coincidental. As the head of a village, I naturally have to obey the people. Rural people are ignorant of education. I apologize to you again, sir, and I hope you will forgive us."

Chu Mo didn't want to embarrass the village chief, so he said, "Village chief, you don't have to do this. My guard was a little impulsive, but I don't even know the deceased, let alone why would I kill him? Besides, if I really killed him, I wouldn't be stupid enough to come here again."

The village chief nodded repeatedly and said, "It was us who framed you, and I apologize to you and am willing to make compensation."

Chu Mo shook his head and said, "No need for compensation. The village chief still needs to deal with the death. We won't bother you any more. Goodbye."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

As if he couldn't bear it, he turned to the village chief and reminded him, "Village chief, I have a piece of advice for you. You'd better report this matter as soon as possible. If I'm not mistaken, this is the work of a tiger demon. He should come out to hunt again. Be careful at night."

After saying this, he walked towards the forest without looking back, regardless of whether the village chief believed it or not.

Chu Mo did not scare the villagers, because from the remaining ghost aura, Chu Mo thought of a monster: the Netherworld Tiger.

The change of route was Chu Mo's sudden idea, because the matter of Qingming refined iron was not suitable to be shown on the official road in a swaggering manner. Chu Mo did not have the confidence to confront the lord of a city.

Also, this forest is the only forest in Dengzhou. While shortening the path, Chu Mo also wants to collect some wild things. After all, the spiritual creatures that grow in different areas are different.

Chu Mo walked into the forest with an excited look on his face. He couldn't help but get excited and couldn't help but guess what he would gain from this wild hunting.

There is plenty of water here, so there are many kinds of animals and plants in the forest, and the spiritual resources are also very rich.

Not long after entering the forest, Chu Mo discovered a plant with leaves as big as his palm and a red-purple color. Chu Mo's eyes lit up, because it was actually a hundred-year-old red blood ginseng.

He happily accepted it and continued exploring the forest.

As he walked along, the smile on Chu Mo's face became more and more intense. Various spiritual objects such as wind chimes, yellow sunflowers, golden spirit grass, water spirit soil, Baizhe roots, etc. appeared one after another.

Beside a pond, Yang Jiye killed a one-horned crocodile, and Chu Mo happily began to deal with it.

The one-horned crocodile's horn, teeth, crocodile skin, essence and blood, and other spiritual materials, plus the one-yuan water he guarded, all became Chu Mo's possession.

This is all money. You can keep those that are useful to you and exchange the rest that are useless for money. This is not wild picking, this is clearly making money.

After finishing his work, Chu Mo washed his bloody hands by the pond and sat in a clean place to rest.

Get some barbecue and snacks to treat yourself.

In a cave in the forest, a tiger demon with jet-black hair was lying on a rock to rest, and the floor of the cave was covered with white bones.

Under the tiger's body is a piece of black jade that is as big as the tiger's body. The jade is surrounded by black air and emits a large amount of yin energy, and the tiger inhales a large amount of yin energy with every breath.

Around the cave, a dozen phantoms seemed to be patrolling, guarding the tiger sleeping in the cave.

These phantoms are the minions specially raised by the tiger, in order to confuse people's minds and lure them into remote places to be swallowed by it.

As the tiger's ears in the cave moved slightly, its eyes slowly opened, and then a tiger roar sounded.

Suddenly, all the shadows outside the cave began to gather inside the cave.

When all the phantoms gathered, the tiger demon opened its mouth wide and spewed out a ball of black ghost energy, which was snatched away by the ghosts below.

The ghost who swallowed the ghost energy felt his body become more solid and kept making sharp hissing sounds.

But with a tiger's roar, all the ghosts came out and began to search the mountain for human figures.

One of the ghosts floated towards the direction where Chu Mo was.

Chu Mo didn't know all this yet. After eating and drinking, he was standing behind Tian Yiheng, admiring his ink paintings.

Presented on the scroll at this moment was a shadow of a forest. As Tian Yiheng stretched out his hand and waved, the shadow of the forest continued to expand. After stopping at one place, he dipped the brush in ink and began to paint. Soon, the pool in front of him appeared on the paper.

As Tian Yiheng waved his hand again, a whole scene appeared before his eyes, including the Soul-Breaking Desert, Red Maple Village, roadside tea stalls, Tieshiling Feiyan Village, etc.

Chu Mo looked at the scroll and found it very interesting. It felt a bit like the smart touch screen in his previous life.
