Chapter 277: Heavily Guarded

It's been more than half a month in May.,Forget to ask your brothers and sisters for a ticket.,If you have a monthly pass, don't forget to vote for the Xuanjie ^^.

..................

Half a month later.

The sound of hooves was like thunder, and hundreds of horsemen galloped in with billowing smoke and dust, and stopped in front of a huge city.

These people were none other than Shi Mu and his party, because of the order of the Stygian Moon Sect headquarters, they had been traveling almost non-stop all the way these days, and finally arrived at the destination of this trip.

The huge city in front of it is the ancient kingdom of Western Xia, Quyang City.

Everyone looked tired, and the mounts below them were even more breathless.

Shi Mu stood on the outermost periphery, and the mouth of the xenomorph horse under him was already oozing white foam, and his body trembled slightly.

He rolled his gaze, rolled over and jumped off the horse, his breath suddenly relaxed, and his trembling body stopped.

Shi Mu patted the horse's neck with his hand, then touched the horse's mouth again, and took the opportunity to stuff a pill.

The horse's eyes lit up, and he let out a soft neigh, and his mouth chewed twice, and the sound of panting quickly subsided.

Shi Mu looked at the city in front of him, and from the outside, this city was extremely magnificent, no less than Tianyu City.

It's just that the city wall can clearly be seen that it has not been repaired for a long time, and there are traces of ruins everywhere, and cracks can be seen everywhere like wrinkles on the face of a dying old man.

"Whew...... It's finally here. At the front of the line, Hussere, who was pretending to be a middle-aged man in gray, breathed a sigh of relief and turned over and dismounted.

The hundreds of people behind also made the same movements, and after turning over and dismounting, they all looked at the giant city in front of them and a huge winding not far from them. Gray mountains shrouded in gray gas.

Although these more than 500 people were all disciples of the Stygian Moon Sect, most of them were here for the first time. There was a slight excitement in his expression.

"Let's go, let's go into town. Hussele waved his hand. He led his horse to the gate of the city.

The gate of the city was crowded with people, heavily guarded, and there were many soldiers of the ancient kingdom of Western Xia dressed in gray armor stationed there.

Everyone who entered the city was to be closely monitored, especially those who were not members of the Cult of the Undermoon, and even had their bodies searched.

"Hey, that's weird. Beside Shi Mu, Yu Yi was surprised.

"Oh, wasn't that the case here before?" Shi Mu looked at Yu Yi.

"I was here two years ago and it wasn't like this at all. There was no one guarding the gates. Yu Yi shook his head and said.

When Shi Mu heard this, he sighed, but the thoughts in his heart rolled.

The two followed everyone towards the city gate, while Cai'er squatted quietly on Shi Mu's shoulder, like an ordinary parrot.

"This parrot is really well-behaved, and it is rare to be afraid of people at all. Yu Yi glanced at Cai'er and said.

Shi Mu smiled. Reached out and teased Cai'er, and fed a nut.

Cai'er suddenly appeared that day, and Shi Mu explained that she had picked it up in the woods by the lake, and that it had been pretending to be an ordinary parrot for the past few days. Others didn't doubt it.

When the group came to the city gate, the mighty procession of 500 people had already attracted the attention of the people around them.

Shi Mu's gaze casually looked around the city gate, where he didn't dare to release his divine sense to investigate. Connected with Cai'er's vision, everything near the city gate was clearly reflected in his eyes.

"Four. Five, six. There are six ......," his eyes flickered.

Near the city gate, there are six powerful auras hidden either openly or secretly, all of which should be star-level warlocks or innate martial artists.

"Who!" a man who looked like the captain of the guard walked over, his eyes wary.

"We are from Picheng. Hu Sailei said calmly, took out the black jade plate from his arms, and shook it in front of the captain of the guard.

The captain of the guard paleness softened slightly, glanced at the jade plate again, nodded, and arched his hand towards Hussere:

"Your Excellency has worked hard all the way, please!"

"Release!"

The captain of the guard returned the jade plate to Hussere, and with a wave of his hand, the guards at the gate moved out of the way.

"Oh, don't you need to check it?" asked Hussele.

"The Venerable Envoy laughed, these inspections are only for the spies of the enemy countries who may be mixed in, and you are all elite disciples of the Stygian Moon Sect, so the inspections will be exempted. The captain of the guard said.

Hu Sailei was actually a little nervous in his heart, but these days he has become more and more proficient in controlling the changes in his expression, and he has not shown any flaws.

He nodded to the captain of the guard, and then led the others behind him into the city gate.

As the capital of the Western Xia Kingdom, Quyang City is not like the semi-abandoned cities seen before, the roads are paved with smooth floor tiles, the buildings on both sides are also clean and spacious, and there are a lot of people in the city, which looks prosperous.

Shi Mu's gaze swept towards the city.

On the way before entering the city, he had already heard Yu Yi's introduction, Quyang City is mainly divided into two urban districts, east and west, the west city is smaller, it is the place controlled by the Stygian Moon Sect, and there is a large stronghold of the Stygian Moon Sect in the city, and the next competition of this selection is said to be held there.

Dongcheng District is the residence of ordinary people, as well as the area of commercial trade, most of the shops are concentrated there, and everyone is in Dongcheng District at the moment.

"Let's go to the stronghold first, where you will be accommodated. Sleeping in the open on the road, you should have a good rest. Hussele turned to the crowd and said.

"Thank you, Envoy Lee!"

When the people heard this, they answered.

Along the way, they are tired enough, and they really need to take a good rest.

Shi Mu followed the crowd, looking at the nearby shops from time to time, with some surprise in his eyes.

The scale of these shops in the city is not small, and it doesn't look much inferior to the big shops in Tianyu City.

He glanced at the knife and stick on his back, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind.

"What? Brother Mu has anything to buy? I am quite familiar with the shops in the city, if you are interested, I can recommend one or two for you. Yu Yi said.

"Thank you, Brother Yu, I'm still thinking about it, and I'll ask you again if I really need to. Shi Mu said.

Yu Yi nodded.

Half an hour later, the group came to Xicheng District, in front of a tall gray building.

This is where the city's large Stygian Cult stronghold is located. It may be the relationship of going to sea for selection, and there are a lot of people here. They were all gray-robed Stygian Moon Sect disciples coming in and out.

"You should be the participating disciples selected by the Picheng Branch, I have just received the news that you have entered the city. The group came to the outside of a large hall. A gray-robed deacon walked over from inside, followed by two gray-robed disciples.

"Not bad. Li Shen, the master of the Lower Blue Wolf Palace, is the messenger in charge of Picheng. Hussere said.

"It turned out to be Senior Brother Li, and he worked hard all the way. The gray-robed deacon looked at Hussele twice, took something out of his bosom, seemed to compare it twice, and nodded.

Seeing this, Hussere's heart was relieved.

"Senior Brother Li, please come with me. You take these parametric disciples to arrange a place to stay, so that they can have a good rest. The gray-robed man commanded the two gray-clothed disciples beside him. Walk towards the main hall behind you.

Hu Sailei glanced at Shi Mu quickly, nodded to him imperceptibly, and followed the gray-robed deacon into the main hall.

"Senior brothers, please come with us. The two Stygian Moon Sect disciples looked respectful and walked towards the front first.

Shi Mu glanced at Hussere's back, turned around and followed everyone towards the front, but no one noticed that the colored parrot on his shoulder had disappeared without a trace.

Hussele followed the gray-robed deacon around the hall a few times and came to a hall.

In the hall, a silver-haired old man sat behind a long table. Holding his cheek with one hand, he seems to be pretending to sleep.

Hussele sensed the silver-haired old man's breath slightly, and his heart was shocked.

The old man's breath is as deep as the sea, and he is a moon-level warlock.

"Elder Fang. The participating disciples of Picheng had just arrived, and this was Li Shen, the messenger there. The gray-clothed deacon respectfully bowed to the silver-haired old man and said.

Hussele also hurriedly saluted.

The silver-haired old man opened his eyes when he heard this. Glancing at Husseret, he sat up straight. Road:

"Oh, it's been a hard journey. ”

"It's all for the sect. It is also appropriate for subordinates to work harder. Hussele took out the black jade plate and handed it to the silver-haired old man with respectful hands.

The silver-haired old man nodded with satisfaction, took the jade plate, and gave the eviction order without raising his head:

"Okay, your pick-up mission has been completed, go down and claim the reward for this mission. ”

Hussere's heart was relieved, and he saluted the silver-haired old man, turned and walked outside.

After leaving the main hall and walking out of the field of vision of the silver-haired old man, Hu Sailei breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he still had palpitations.

He glanced behind him and walked along the path he had come.

As for the reward mentioned by the white-haired elder, he naturally wouldn't go to collect it, on the one hand, he needed to show the Dark Moon Order when he received it, which was easy to goof, and on the other hand, he didn't know where to go to receive the reward.

Hussele lifted his collar, covering half of his face, and quickly walked out of the black building.

He didn't stop walking, and quickly left the place.

A quarter of an hour later, he came to a remote alley, and let out a long exhale, a thin layer of sweat broke out all over his body.

"Haha, looking at your timid look, it's really useless. At this moment, a voice sounded abruptly.

Hu Sailei was taken aback, the black light in his hand flashed, and he had already taken out the black bamboo staff, and suddenly followed the prestige.

On the wall next to it, a colorful parrot is standing on it, it is Cai'er.

"Cai'er, it turned out to be you, it scared me a lot!" Hu Sailei saw that it was Cai'er, exhaled, and said angrily.

"Hmph, if it weren't for the stone to let me come, who would have come to scare you!" Cai'er muttered a little unhappily.

"I don't know what Senior Mu's instructions will be next?" asked Hu Sailei with a solemn expression when he heard this.

"Shi said, although you have also decided to participate in this sea competition, but just in case, you still find a random inn nearby to stay. Cai'er said.

"Okay, Cai'er, you tell Senior Mu for me. I'll be careful during this time, and I'll try to inform him when I find a place to live. Hussere said.

Cai'er hummed lazily and spread her wings and flew into the distance.

Husayre stayed in the alley for a moment, took off his messenger's clothes, changed into ordinary clothes, took out a hat and put it on his head, and then walked out of the alley and went in one direction. (To be continued.) )
