Clang--
The sound of hammering metal came from the wooden house. A young man, holding a forging hammer, struck farm tools on the anvil, sparks flying.
His muscles were clearly defined, he was drenched in sweat, and his entire body was dyed red by the firelight of the furnace.
“Brother Li, my sickle is bent. Can you straighten it for me?”
While he was working, an old farmer came in, carrying a farm tool.
Taking the sickle and holding the hammer, Li Mo, in a daze, remembered.
“I Transmigrated...”
“I Transmigrated into a blacksmith apprentice in Great King Village. Before my master passed away, he left the shop to me.”
“Great King Village is on the edge of Human City and is not safe. Occasionally, disasters from outside the city cross the city walls. That's how my master died.”
“Fortunately, my forging talent is extremely high. Holding a hammer feels as if I was born to use it. If there were no blacksmith, the village would be in trouble.”
Li Mo also forgot his past.
But only as far as the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were concerned.
He vaguely felt something was wrong. If it was soul Transmigration, he looked the same as in his previous life. If it was body Transmigration, his previous memories were a blank slate.
The only thing that was the same, perhaps, was that he was equally unremarkable in both lives.
Oh, except for his forging talent... Fortunately, he had this skill to make a living, otherwise, he, a Transmigrator, would be finished if he starved to death... “?” freewebnovёl.ƈom
Looking at Wangqi Xiaobawang, Liqun Sword Hero, working in the blacksmith shop.
Dijin and its surroundings fell into a quiet, filled with a bunch of question marks.
“I've watched the Heavenly Human Trial three times, and I've never seen anyone born in Human City...”
“The way of birth is too crude.”
“Isn't Li Shaoxia the Qianlong First? His talent, not to mention comparable to Han Xianzi, should not be inferior to Jiang Yu.”
“Could there have been some accident in the middle?”
The crowd hadn't played games, otherwise, they might have been able to describe the sense of déjà vu of being born in Human City.
It was almost like a random NPC spawning in a game.
No power, no status, not even wealth.
“Does this mean that the Heavenly Human Trial has basically nothing to do with Li Mo anymore?”
The Hundred Flowers Gathering had just ended, and the Flowers, who were also watching the sky under the canopy, were all surprised, disappointed, and confused.
Tu Yan raised her eyebrows, suddenly feeling that he was no longer as brilliant as before.
In fact, he was somewhat disappointing.
The jiangshan sheji map is a Tianyun Dao Artifact. The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, all living beings, are all reflected within it, which is well known.
As long as they are living beings of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, they cannot transcend it.
So this is Li Mo's original appearance?
Tu Yan was somewhat incredulous.
But if she were asked whether she believed the Tianyun Dao Artifact or Li Mo, she would definitely believe the former.
So she no longer planned to waste any time on Li Mo. It now seemed that Li Mo only rose to prominence because of Han Xianzi, a classic case of 'one person attains Dao, even his chickens and dogs ascend to Heaven'.
The Qianlong Ranking Top was probably also given up by Ying Bing.
“The dog emperor wouldn't be rigging things, would he?”
Shang Wu, with her hands on her hips, huffed: “If he can't be emperor, I'll reluctantly help him.”
“Exactly!”
A familiar yet strange voice suddenly came from her ear.
Shang Wu looked back and saw an old acquaintance—Shang Qinqing.
“Yo, little Qingluan, you're not bald anymore, all your feathers have grown back, huh?” This was Shang Wu's way of greeting.
“It's been thousands of years, of course, they've grown back.”
Shang Qinqing snorted, knowing Shang Wu's personality, and didn't bother to argue with her.
Moreover, they were now united against a common enemy.
“Little Bing'er is in Heavenly City, and Xiao Mo is in Human City. I was hoping they'd forget their past and give me some fresh drama to enjoy, but now they can't even meet. How am I supposed to enjoy it?”
“Exactly, exactly, little Qingluan, let's work together on this great endeavor! I'll make you a Prince later, on equal footing with the emperor.”
“What about you?”
“I'll be the Supreme Emperor.”
“??”
Everyone around them looked at the two with surprised eyes, quietly moving further away, pretending they hadn't heard anything, not daring to listen to such rebellious words.
Only Qin Yuzhi dared to approach:
“Don't be anxious yet. Little Bing'er left Heavenly City, she might be going to find Xiao Mo.”
“I've always found Li Mo to be strange. Now that he's descended into Human City, it's not entirely unexpected. Shang Wu, you should understand your disciple; you need to have confidence.”
“Of course I have confidence.”
Shang Wu said with a serious face, taking two sips of wine, feeling a bit guilty.
Hearing that there was still a chance for drama, Clan Leader Shang stopped making a fuss.
But at this very moment.
Changes occurred again in the jiangshan sheji map.
Several massive beings, each the size of a house, appeared on the horizon, clearly heading towards the village.
It was hard to say what kind of creatures they were. The one leading them was covered in green scales, with a snake-like lower body, but it also had Human Race arms, capable of wielding weapons. Its head was a combination of human and snake, with facial features and fangs, and sharp fins behind its head.
While called Yao Beast, its intelligence was clearly insufficient, appearing not very clever.
It was like a body with the power of a Yao Beast, driven by a wild animal.
Their power was not strong for the martial artists present in Dijin; they lacked even the interest to glance at them. But for that small village on the border of Human City, it was undoubtedly destructive.
The strongest in this village was merely in the Qi Blood Realm.
“Their luck is too bad, being born in Human City, they are Innate ordinary people.”
“Not to mention controlling the Heavenly Human, they won't be taken out by small fry at the very beginning, will they?”
The crowd became noisy again.
Some of them had been waiting for Li Mo to accumulate strength and burst forth.
But if the Qianlong Ranking Top participated in the trial and was Innate lacking, that would be one thing, but to be eliminated at the very beginning would be too dramatic.
But it was certain.
This was not the outside world; Li Mo was now just an ordinary blacksmith in Human City.
Huang Donglai searched on Li Mo for a long time but couldn't find the satchel he had given him, and his usually steady mood grew anxious.
He turned to look at the others, Zhong Zhenyue, Xiao Qin, and Murong Xiao were all filled with worry... Bang!
Several houses were destroyed, and roars and screams drowned out the hammering sounds.
Li Mo's hammer paused, and the farmer next to him also changed his expression slightly.
The farmer's granddaughter, who had been playing outside, was already scared senseless and sat on the ground.
Because among those terrifying presences, one had already arrived.
It was the half-human, half-snake one.
“Brother Li, I'm old and can't run anymore. You should run quickly.”
The farmer led his granddaughter in, his face shining with hope.
He probably hoped that the young and strong Li Mo would take his granddaughter and escape together, but with lives at stake, who would be willing to take a child? He couldn't bring himself to say it.
“You and the little girl, both stay here.”
Hearing Li Mo say this, the farmer's face darkened.
Just as he was about to sigh, he saw him step out the door, then turn back and say:
“I'll lure it away; you find the right moment to run.”
“Thank you!”
“I'm going.”
Li Mo himself was surprised by his decision.
How could he make such a decision so quickly? He didn't understand, but there was always a voice echoing in his heart, drowning out all other emotional Noise.
That voice was saying.
He is best at using the weak to defeat the strong.
“Running with a child is not as good as luring the monster away. I can run faster alone.” freёweɓnovel.com
Li Mo found an excuse for himself and stepped out the door, carrying his forging hammer.
