The demon beast mountain range at night, the moonlight is bright, like a hazy white veil enveloping this side of the silent heaven and earth. On a lawn, several people sat around each other.

The young man's silver-white hair was cold and shiny against the background of the moonlight, and it was even more detached.

This is the second day, and after another day of searching in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, everyone is quite tired, not from physical fatigue, but from psychological anxiety. If Mo Ling and Mo Qinghe were unable to be found for a long time, even if there was no trace of them, they would inevitably be nervous and physically and mentally exhausted.

Lei Li took a bite of dry food and said: "Big brother, it is not a way to blindly search like this, although the range is locked outside the middle of the mountain range, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, I think, we should disperse, cast a wide net, and improve efficiency." ”

Lei Xing shook his head and said, "Have you forgotten the lion-faced butterfly last time?" Although the efficiency is a little worse now, at least it can ensure everyone's safety. Besides, several people from the Mu family still don't know where to hide, and if they meet, they will definitely not hesitate to attack us. You must know that according to the feedback from the Mo family, Mu Xiang, the second elder of the Mu family, is also among them. ”

Hearing this, Lei Li fell into deep thought.

Lei Xing continued: "The Mo family and I have planted eyeliner inside and outside the city of Yaobei respectively, and once the Mu family has any trouble, we will send a message as soon as possible. Unless the wood returns to ......"

Speaking of this, Lei Xing paused, "Of course, we must hope that they will return in vain. ”

Xuan Chen agreed with Lei Xing's opinion, just today, he actually encountered a second-order demon beast running through the middle layer of the mountain range three times in a row, and one of them was even about to complete the evolution and transform into a third-order demon beast.

Fortunately, the three demon beasts seemed to be attracted by something, and they only passed by Xuanchen and his party face to face, without much entanglement, otherwise the demon beast that was almost about to evolve to the third order would be in trouble, and I am afraid that all of them here would face existential danger.

"I don't know what's going on in this mountain range, I feel like the monsters are getting restless. Could it be that some rare spirit grass has descended into the world, or is there some shocking demon in it that has expelled them all?"

Xuan Chen felt that the probability of the former would be a little greater, because observing the aura of those demon beasts today was not like the panic of being expelled, but mixed with a touch of impatient greed.

After filling their stomachs, everyone looked for a place to rest.

Xuanchen found a remote corner, lay on the ground with his head on his hands, and looked at the crescent moon hanging in the sky.

Someone walked this way, but it was not Xiao Zhen, it was the regiment commander Lei Xing.

Xuan Chen sat up and asked, "Commander, haven't rested yet?"

"Haha, aren't you too?" Lei Xing asked with a smile.

Lei Xing came to Xuanchen and sat down, also looking up at the night sky, "This kind of scenery is not easy to see in the Demon Beast Mountain Range of the Dense Forest Barrier." ”

Xuan Chen smiled slightly, noncommittal.

Lei Xing gradually restrained his smile, as if to get down to business: "Actually, Lei wants to thank you for facilitating the union of the mercenary group and the Mo family. ”

Xuanchen's eyes were immersed in another crescent moon, "Actually, the head of the regiment knows my intentions. ”

Lei Xing looked sideways at the young man, his eyes were deep, this was the second time he felt that the young man was not simple.

Lei Xing asked, "Is it for the Xiao Zhen brothers and his wife?"

The middle-aged man who was sleeping on his side not far away with his back to this side didn't know whether he was asleep, or he maintained that posture and pretended to sleep.

A trace of guilt flashed on Xuan Chen's face, and he whispered, "Maybe a year later, maybe sooner, maybe a little later." In short, the time I stayed in Far North City was far away. ”

One year?Lei Xing seemed to think of something, "Are you preparing to participate in the selection of the Royal Academy of the Sunset Kingdom, or the Three Sects of Dusk Clouds?"

If it had been two months ago, in the face of the young man's words, Lei Xing would not have thought about the Royal Academy, or any of the three sects of Dusk Cloud. But now it was different from the past, and the status of the young man in his heart had risen to the same height that could be completely compared with the most outstanding young people in Yaobei City, and he even vaguely felt that it was still excessive.

Xuanchen didn't answer in the affirmative, but just said, "Maybe it is, maybe it's neither." ”

Aren't they? Lei Xing kept echoing these three words in his head? Three days ago, Lei Xing would have thought that the boy was crazy.

To him, this must have been such an ambitious, even arrogant. In the eyes of these people, the Royal Academy and the Three Sects of Dusk Cloud were behemoths that they could not reach for a lifetime, but when they fell into the mouth of the young man, they blurted out that they seemed as insignificant as a feather.

"Commander, since you already know my intentions, then I will open the skylight and speak brightly, and I would like to ask you to take care of my father and mother for me one day in the future, after I leave. ”

Lei Xing did not answer immediately, but asked first: "To tell you the truth, you know very little about me, do you know what kind of person I am Lei Xing? Why do you dare to entrust the two of them to me, and you are not afraid that I will go back on my word? At that time, when you leave Yaobei City, the Lingwu Continent is so big, and the Emperor Tiangao is far away, at that time, whether I am willing to fulfill the agreement or not, it depends on whether I am willing or not." ”

Xuan Chen said seriously without hesitation: "It is not my vision to judge whether the head of the regiment is loyal or not, but I believe in my father's vision, I believe in the vision of all the people of the Lei Zhan Mercenary Group, I trust you as a benevolent leader, and I trust the words "loyal liver and courage" engraved on the stone tablet in the compound of the mercenary group. ”

Xuanchen's eyes were blazing, and there was no hypocrisy.

Lei Xing seemed to be shocked by the young man's words, and his eyes were fixed for a long time and he couldn't return to his senses.

"Huh...... Okay, okay, Xiao Zhen, pick up a good son. Lei Xing said, his eyes suddenly lit up, "But I can't answer your commission." ”

Xuanchen's face remained unchanged, waiting for Lei Xing's next step.

"Because I am not 100% sure that I will be able to carry out your commission, because even if I try all the strength of the Thunder War Mercenary Group, I will be powerless in the face of the behemoth Mu family. So I can't boast of Haikou and make a blood oath. But I can assure you that as long as I still have a breath left, I will protect the two of them. Lei Xing said.

"Xuanchen, thank you to Captain Lei Xing!"
