Shen Mu opened his Taotie Pouch and tried to put one end of the chain inside, but the chain was too thick and too large to fit at all, and the other end was buried deep in the cliff face and could not be pulled free either. The two stared at each other, at a loss.
Shen Mu, furious, turned and left. "And you call yourself my eldest senior brother—you miser!
" Jiang Miao hurried after him. Shen Mu, face dark, flew up into the air, searched the surroundings, took his bearings, and sped off with him toward the direction marked on the first map. Two days later they came to a small village—the very place marked on the map.
Shen Mu and Jiang Miao walked into the village and looked around. It was like the most ordinary village in the Wilderness Ruins, save that everywhere in it stood statues of gods with dragon heads and human bodies.
"Why did Eldest Senior Brother send us here? " Puzzled, Shen Mu saw an old man white-haired and hoary sitting before a thatched hut weaving a fishing net. He hurried forward and bowed in greeting.
"Elder, what place is this?
