An hour later, the Stygian branch stronghold.

Shi Mu sat at the wooden table, looking at the meteorite black knife and short stick in his hand, and couldn't help but smile a little bitterly.

After some attempts, he found that the venom of the golden lizard really did not react to the current meteorite iron knife stick.

As a result, although his two handy weapons have become indestructible, their power has also decreased a lot due to the inability to engrave the rune array.

Just as he was thinking about whether to buy two more high-grade magic weapons, the black smoke in front of him, Yan Luo appeared again, and a pleasant woman's voice sounded in Shi Mu's mind:

"Lend me a stick. ”

"This ...... Something went wrong with the stick. Shi Mu hesitated for a moment and replied.

Yan Luo's eyes flashed with purple soul fire, as if he didn't understand what Shi Mu meant.

"The talisman on the stick is gone, and now it is no longer a magic weapon. Shi Mu said.

"It doesn't matter! ”

"Yanluo, are you ......" Shi Mu's heart moved, and he asked.

He couldn't help but think of the first time Yan Luo borrowed the meteoric iron black stick.

However, before he could finish speaking, a gust of wind swept in front of him, and the meteorite black stick in his hand had disappeared.

Raising his head, Yan Luo was holding the meteorite black stick in front of him and looking at it.

I didn't see Yan Luo make any moves, and a layer of dark black light faintly appeared on the surface of the meteorite black stick in his hand, and where the black light was permeated, the space seemed to be distorted.

The black light flickered, and everything returned to calm, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

Shi Mu looked at the meteorite black stick dumbfounded, when the black light appeared just now, he really felt a breath that was far stronger than the money sword.

"Where's the spirit stone?" Yan Luo's eyes were full of soul fire. Seeming to be quite satisfied with the meteorite black stick in his hand, he said again.

Shi Mu seemed to have expected it. Directly took out a bag containing a thousand spirit stones from the Dust Ring, and threw it to Yan Luo.

"And also!"

“...... How much?"

"Four more bags. ”

The corners of Shi Mu's eyes twitched. This bag is a full thousand spirit stones, and five bags cost five thousand spirit stones, but this Yan Luo is an understatement.

"To give or not to give?"

"It's okay to give it to you, but you tell me first, do you know this meteorite material?and, how did you deplete the aura in the stick?" Shi Mu asked two questions in one breath.

"This ...... I don't know, I just know that this touch is very familiar. Yan Rama squeezed the black stick of meteorite in his hand. His eyes twitched, and he said.

When Shi Mu heard this, he groaned slightly, but still took out four bags of spirit stones and threw them over.

Yan Luo stretched out his hand to take the spirit stone bag, and the black smoke on his body surged, and he disappeared into the void.

After Yan Luo left, Shi Mu looked at the meteorite black knife in his hand blankly, and his face became cloudy for a while.

From the mouth of the smoke Luo. Combined with its performance of absorbing aura and increasing weight, this meteorite material should be quite extraordinary, otherwise with Yan Luo's current strength, why bother borrowing it?

Think of it. He was faintly excited in his heart, and immediately unwillingly studied the meteorite black knife in his hand.

As a result, it took a whole day and tried many methods in a row. I haven't figured out why.

He had no choice but to give up for the time being, but his interest in the meteorite knife stick did not diminish in the slightest. The idea of going out to buy magic weapons was also dispelled.

For the next two days. He continued to lock himself in his room and drew the talisman, intending to sell it at a high price while the competition was in full swing.

As a result, on the evening of the second day, the main altar of the Stygian Moon Sect suddenly issued a notice that the competition was held in advance, and the second day officially began early in the morning.

......

As soon as it was dawn on the second day, Shi Mu and the others were gathered and left the stronghold under the leadership of a deacon in the sect.

Because Hu Sailei received news from Shi Mu yesterday, he naturally rushed over early in the morning and followed behind Shi Mu.

At this moment, there are not many people in the city yet, and the matter of the Stygian Moon Sect's holding of the competition in advance does not seem to have been announced in the city.

While walking through the streets, Shi Mu and the others gradually converged with the rest of the team.

It didn't take long for these participating disciples to gather into a huge torrent, and all of them silently walked towards the west of the city under the leadership of the deacon of the sect.

The venue of the competition was not set up in the city as previously rumored, and after a meal, everyone was taken to a very large building in the west of Quyang City, like an arena.

The arena is unusually large, with a huge open-air ring in the middle and spectator seats on all sides, but it seems to look a little dilapidated because it has not been renovated for a long time.

As far as the eye can see, the open-air ring is several miles away, and the winners of the first round of the competition have a total of more than 10,000 people standing in the ring at this moment, and they do not look crowded.

Shi Mu stood in a corner near the ring, his eyes looking at the sky around him.

The gray sky looks no different than usual.

It's just that his brows are slightly furrowed, and for some reason, since the morning, he has been faintly uneasy in his heart.

Hussele stood quietly beside him, but there was no sign of Cai'er.

"Brother Mu. A voice came, and Yu Yi walked over with a smile on his face.

There were two people beside him, a young man with a red complexion, and a young woman of young age, dressed in a green shirt, tall and tall, but her appearance was average.

Shi Mu's gaze swept over the other two, and he waved his hand to say hello to Yu Yi.

"Brother Mu doesn't seem to have gone out for the past few days, isn't he drawing talismans behind closed doors?" Yu Yi smiled, his attitude was more enthusiastic than before, faintly flattering.

Shi Mu once went out to sell talismans, and was inadvertently learned by Yu Yi, and after knowing that Shi Mu was still a talisman master, he became more and more enthusiastic about Shi Mu.

"Hehe, I'm shy in my pockets recently, and I really need to earn some spirit stones. Shi Mu replied with a haha.

Yu Yi smiled, looked at Hussere, who was standing aside, and asked:

"This friend looks a little raw, I don't know what it is?"

"This is his friend Hu Sailei, and this is Yu Yidao's friend. Shi Mu gave a brief introduction.

"It turned out to be Yu Daoyou. Fortunately. Hussele arched.

Yu Yi also arched his hand, and then introduced the two people beside him to Shi Mu and the others.

Both are warlocks. The red-faced young man's surname is Luo, and his cultivation is in the early stage of the star rank. And the other green-shirted young woman surnamed Yi, who was a peak warlock of the spirit level, Shi Mu and Hu Sailei said hello slightly.

The two of them didn't seem to have much interest in Shi Mu, who was deliberately cultivating to suppress the spirit level, and silently returned the salute.

"Brother Yu, you are well-informed, do you know what the content of today's competition is?" Shi Mu asked.

"I'm ashamed to say it, and I have inquired in many ways, but the sect seems to be very strict now, and I haven't heard any useful news so far. Yu Yi shook his head. Said.

"Then wait and see. Shi Mu nodded, his eyes glancing around.

The auditorium near the venue was empty, except for a few Stygian Moon Sect disciples standing in front of a domed building in front of it.

In the middle of the building, Liu An stood with his hands in his hands, his face was a little solemn, and his junior sister, the girl in red shirt, was standing beside him.

"Senior brother, how could the Luo Heavenly Ghost King be seriously injured in the altar of the sect?" asked the red-shirted girl with a frowning eyebrow.

"There is something strange about it, according to it. It was done by a guy possessed by white armor, and it was the same guy who attacked the crystal skeleton of the Tang Hall Lord. Luo Tian Ghost King has not yet recovered his vitality, if it weren't for the revenge of the Tang Hall Lord in front this time, I am afraid it may not be as simple as being seriously injured. Liu An said in a calm tone.

"Now the war is getting tighter. The Tang Hall Lord died unexpectedly, which is really a disaster. The red-shirted girl sighed lightly.

As he spoke, the door was pushed open. The red-eyed big Han Di Feng walked in.

"How's it going?" asked Liu An.

"The situation is a little bad, the attack momentum of the Heavenly Immortal Sect and the Heavenly Demon Sect has become more and more fierce in the past few days. Now it has penetrated deep into the hinterland of my Western Xia Kingdom, and it will continue like this. I'm afraid that in less than a day, the army will come to Quyang City. Di Feng frowned at each other and said.

"What about the Right Protector and the rest?" asked Liu An again.

"He told you not to be distracted, everything went according to plan. He personally guarded the main altar, and Huo Qing and the others went directly to the West Coast. Di Feng said.

"Senior Brother Di, you will arrange it later, as long as someone wins this round, they will be sent to the beach immediately, and they will be arranged to board the boat in turn, and they will be sent one after the other. Liu An groaned slightly and said to Di Feng.

"What about those who were defeated?" Di Feng hesitated for a moment and asked.

"Take it back directly to the main altar, and leave some in Quyang City. Let them buy time for those who go to sea. Liu An said in a calm tone, his eyes were indifferent.

Di Feng looked at Liu An's eyes, his heart trembled, and he nodded.

Di Feng turned his head and glanced at the people in the venue outside, the corners of his mouth moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he still didn't say it.

"It's almost time, so let's get started. Liu An said, walking towards the outside of the hall.

Di Feng and the girl in the red shirt answered and followed.

The three of them walked to a high platform, and the people in the ring below quickly quieted down and looked towards the high platform where the three people were.

Shi Mu was now in the crowd, and when he saw Liu An's figure, his eyes flickered.

He also has a basic understanding of Liu An's identity these days, and he is not so surprised that he will appear here today.

"All of you, today will be the second competition of the overseas selection. Liu An said loudly.

As soon as the words fell, there was a buzz in the venue, and most of the people were excited.

"Before the competition starts, I would like to announce one thing. That is, all the cultivators present who have reached the middle stage of the star level, or the middle stage of the innate stage or above, do not need to participate in this round of competition. After being inspected and repaired by a special person, you can directly enter the third round of competition. Liu An continued.

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.

"This ......" Hussere's eyes widened and he looked stunned.

Yu Yi and the other three also showed a look of surprise on their faces, and Shi Mu looked at Liu An and the others on the high platform, his brows furrowed.

At this moment, some cultivators who met the conditions, their eyes were excited, and they came out of the crowd one after another, walked out of the ring, and were led by the people of the nearby Stygian Moon Sect to a building near Liu An and the others.

Hu Sailei looked at Shi Mu, he knew that Shi Mu's martial arts cultivation had reached the middle stage of innate status.

Shi Mu's face was indifferent, the thoughts in his heart turned, but his body didn't move. (To be continued.) )
