Chapter 3 Worms
Thunder War Mercenary Regiment.
As the only mercenary group organization in Yaobei City, the Lei Zhan Mercenary Group was originally founded by two brothers surnamed Lei, and with the development of time, the strength of the Lei Zhan Mercenary Group has become stronger and stronger due to the continuous influx of fresh blood. It is also because of the integrity of the Lei brothers that the Lei Zhan mercenary group has gradually become famous, so many pharmacies, including Cuichun Pavilion, as well as various shops and some families and gentry, are willing to hire them.
The Thunder War Mercenary Regiment has accepted more and more tasks, and the scope of its involvement has become wider and wider, and its strength has naturally increased. The head of the regiment, Lei Xing, successfully broke through not long ago and became a martial artist-level powerhouse.
Lei Xing's breakthrough undoubtedly raised the status and prestige of the Lei Zhan Mercenary Group in the Far North City by several levels.
The dignified-looking middle-aged man on the seat was Lei Xing, the leader of the Lei Zhan Mercenary Regiment, he took a sip of a cup of tea on the side, and a claw mark on his neck writhed viciously as the tea went down. He asked Yue Feng under his seat, "How is Xiao Zhen's injury?"
Yue Feng got up and said, "Please rest assured, when Brother Xiao was sent home yesterday, his breath had stabilized, and I think the situation has improved." ”
"That's good, Miss Qingming's medical skills are really worthy of her reputation. ”
Speaking of this, a woman in white clothes with a graceful figure flashed in Lei Xing's eyes, and he couldn't help but ...... when he thought of this woman
Oh, forget it, it's like a frightening dragon, graceful like a dragon, unattainable, you can only watch it from afar.
He retracted his thoughts, and continued the previous topic: "Xiao Zhen's reward for this mission, I need to trouble you to send it for him later, and I have prepared a healing herb here, and I will also help me hand it over to him." ”
Lei Xing waved his hand lightly, and a stream of spiritual power held the cloth bag on the table, like a wind fluttering, and fell in front of Yue Feng.
Yue Feng hurriedly took it and thanked him: "I thanked the head of the regiment for Brother Xiao." ”
"Go ahead. Lei Xing waved his hand and said.
After putting away the cloth bag, Yue Feng was in a good mood, and strode towards the outside of the lobby with a swagger.
After seeing Yue Feng disappear from view, Lei Li on the side asked, "Big brother, is this really strange?"
"Although the brothers were somewhat injured this time, they only hurt the flesh and skin, and they were all insignificant skin wounds. But only Xiao Scar almost died. When things go wrong, there must be demons, of course, there are strange things. ”
Lei Xing blew a breath and blew the tea leaves that floated to his mouth to the other side.
"You and I have fought with those demon beasts in the mountains hundreds of times, and we should know the temperament of demon beasts best. ”
"He's touched the monster's scales. He said in a deep voice.
Lei Li asked again: "Then according to the eldest brother's guess, where did Xiao Zhen touch the scales of the eared ape, which provoked its anger to kill." ”
Lei Xing thought for a moment, as if he was recalling something, and then he said: "The demon beast eared ape, the sense of hearing can reach a radius of thousands of meters, and the sense of smell is also keen, and it is said that it has a unique ability to perceive the spirit grass of heaven and earth. Xiao Zhen moved the spiritual grass that the eared ape regarded as his own, so he caused the disaster of killing. ”
Lei Xing closed the teacup, and there were only a few wisps of tea left in the cup.
"If only you were there, big brother. Lei Li said with some regret.
A second-order eared ape whose strength is comparable to that of a human martial artist-level powerhouse, how can the spirit grass that it guards with its life be an ordinary mortal. Therefore, Lei Lixiang, if Lei Xing was present at the time, maybe the spirit grass would be in the bag of the Lei Zhan mercenary group now, instead of falling into his Xiao Zhen's hands.
To be honest, Lei Li was secretly angry at Xiao Zhen's concealment, because in a sense, he even used the other people present at the time to stop the eared ape for him, and then took the opportunity to secretly take the spirit grass for himself.
Xiao Zhen violated the reverse scale of the demon beast, and similarly, he also touched the reverse scale of the "group rules" of the Lei Zhan mercenary group!
If it weren't for seeing Xiao Zhen seriously injured and almost dying, the two of them didn't pursue it more. Otherwise, if it is dealt with by the rules of the regiment and made public to set an example, the spirit grass must be handed over, not to mention, and the pain of skin and flesh will be inescapable.
Lei Xing didn't feel the same regret as Lei Li, let alone much annoyance, but looked worriedly in the direction where Yue Feng left, his brows tightened.
"I just hope now that others don't see through it. ”
——
Xuanchen sat cross-legged on the bed, the spirit grass was placed in front of him, and a stream of pure and rich spiritual energy emanated from the spirit grass endlessly. Xuanchen tried to absorb this aura, although the aura disappeared soon after entering his body, and the broken meridians could not operate the aura into the dantian qi sea at all.
However, although the dantian qi sea cannot absorb these aura, these auras can play a role in warming and nourishing the body. Although the results have been small, they have been accumulating over time, and there are still results.
"Someone's coming?" Xuanchen sensed that a few breaths were already approaching the door, and the person who came was fierce and seemed to be not good. He hurriedly hid the Spirit Gathering Grass in his arms.
As soon as Xuan Chen walked to the door, there was a loud shout from the courtyard.
"Mu Jiamu cut his life and asked to see Brother Xiao Zhenxiao. ”
Wood Family?
Xuanchen was very surprised, Mu Shusheng was the son of the head of the Mu family, and his status was noble, why did he suddenly stoop down to visit at this time?
Xuanchen pushed open the door, and the five people in the courtyard stood solemnly, and in front of them were the three sons of the Mu family, Mu Chop, Mu Chop. Mucang Bai, there is also a collateral descendant of the Mu family, called Mu Hai.
Behind them stood a man, all wrapped in a black robe, unable to see his face.
Lin Qing, who had already gone out to welcome guests, was obviously a little flustered after seeing a few people in front of her. An ordinary woman in a poor alley, how can she have the opportunity to contact these Mu family members whose identity gap is like mud, and she is the most talented and respected young handsome among the young generation of the Mu family.
"Wooden ...... Several sons of the Mu family. Lin Qing said worriedly.
Mu Shusheng smiled gently, "It turned out to be the eldest sister-in-law, and the younger brother had something to ask Brother Xiao for, but I didn't know if I could tell him on my behalf." If it's convenient, please ask Brother Xiao to come out and see it. ”
"I'm sorry Mr. Mu, my husband may be ...... in the near future If it's inconvenient, I'm afraid I'll ......" Lin Qing clasped his hands, and was so nervous that he didn't know how to phrase it for a while.
"Really?"
Mu Qisheng's eyes were slightly cold, and he immediately avoided Lin Qing, and said loudly to the house behind her: "Brother Xiao, I heard that you won a treasure in the Demon Beast Mountain Range a few days ago, and the younger brother is a little interested in this thing, I wonder if Brother Xiao can come out and see it and discuss it?"
"Mu Gongzi ......" Lin Qing was anxious, he didn't want to disturb Xiao Zhen in the room behind him to recuperate, and he didn't dare to offend the few young people in the courtyard in front of him, so he was in a dilemma.
At this moment, in the house, the sound of Xiao Zhen breaking the siege came. But Lin Qing did not feel the slightest sense of relief, but was even more worried.
"I'm sorry Patriarch Mu, I may not have what you want in my hands, I'm afraid you have to run for nothing, I'm sorry. Ahem, cough ......" violent coughing sound came and went.
"Brother Xiao, the younger brother is really curious about that thing, otherwise he wouldn't bother you to endure the pain. Moreover, since I have come to visit, it must be groundless, and the obscurity in it is ......"
Xiao Zhen covered the wound and walked out slowly, and Xuanchen immediately stepped forward to support him when he saw this.
"Father's ......"
Xiao Zhen waved his hand to show that he was okay.
"Patriarch Mu Shao came to the door today, naturally the ugly courtyard was full of brilliance, but what Patriarch Mu Shao said, Xiao was at a loss. ”
Mu Qisheng's face became smiling, "It's really not like to ask Brother Xiao to give him away in a few words, so it's better to get straight to the point." Brother Xiao, if you are willing, I have a small gift here, which can be exchanged for that treasure. ”
Mu Shusheng glanced at Mu Hai beside him, who stepped forward with a sandalwood box in his hand.
"Inside is a vial of Living Pulse Powder and a Black Fire Armor. Huomaisan is a top-grade healing medicine, and it can consolidate the foundation of Peiyuan, which is the most suitable for Brother Xiao's current situation. ”
"As for the other black fire armor, I think Brother Xiao should be no stranger, it is the armor forged from black fire essence iron that was exhibited by the Lan Clan auction house last time, the quality is quite extraordinary, and it can be described as indestructible. As long as Brother Xiao is willing, the juniors will give these two things with both hands, just ask for what Brother Xiao gets, two for one, and Brother Xiao will definitely not lose. "Mu Chopping has both hands on his shoulders, and he is bound to win.
"The patriarch of Mu Shao is really heroic, but once again forgive Xiao for his helplessness, there is indeed nothing at home that the patriarch Mu Shao wants. The good intentions of the young patriarch, Xiao can only wait for him to move conveniently, and then come to the door to thank him in person. Xiao Zhen forced out a smile and said.
"Brother Xiao, I came with sincerity, you should be able to feel it, right?" Mu Qisheng smiled in a low voice, his eyes slowly cold.
Xiao was ashamed. Xiao Zhen raised his arms tremblingly and clenched his fists lightly.
Mu Qisheng didn't mean to stop at all, he turned sideways slightly, revealing the man in black behind him, "Since that's the case, then I won't hide it anymore, in fact, it's not that I covet Brother Xiao's treasures, the person who really asks for Brother Xiao is the monsoon behind me, Master Ji!"
Hearing this, Mu Hai and Mu Cang Bai on the side both showed a smug smile.
——
In the lobby of the Lei Zhan Mercenary Group, Lei Xing and Lei Li were discussing the preparations for the next mission, when suddenly Yue Feng rushed in in a hurry, still holding the cloth bag containing medicinal materials that Lei Xing had handed him before.
"Regiment...... Commander, something is wrong!"
——
The study in a small courtyard of the Mo family.
"Qinghe, after training in the Demon Beast Mountain Range this time, your strength seems to have improved again. The young man flipped through the books in his hand and said with a smile, "Is that kind of cultivation that has always been regarded by us as arrogant and brainless really beneficial?"
There was a grim young man standing next to him, but he didn't say a word.
Accustomed to the indifference of the cold young man, the young man didn't care, and continued while flipping through the book, "What kind of good thing do you say Xiao Zhen should hide, I'm really a little curious." ”
The cold young man was still silent, and a pitch-black spear on his back flashed cold, like a gun, like a gun.
"Hey, but since it's all in his pocket, it's not good for us to do that kind of thing like stealing beauty, right? Hey, it's still that young master's face can't get over that hurdle, thin-skinned and unproductive. The boy sighed.
Immediately, he looked at him again, and said to the cold young man in a slightly stern tone: "This matter should be regarded as a lesson, remember next time, be decisive and be neat." ”
The cold young man's face did not change, but he said coldly: "At that time, I also sensed the existence of another person. ”
"Who?" the boy asked, looking up.
"Mu family, Mu Hai!"
"Oh?"
The cold young man said again: "The secret agent in charge of monitoring the Mu family said that Mu Shusheng and a few people left the Mu family's mansion not long ago. ”
The boy shook his head with a wry smile, closed the book in his hand with a smile, and said, "Interesting, interesting." ”
——
"Master Ji?" Xiao Zhen's gaze fell tightly on the black-clothed man at the back, and he had an extremely bad premonition.
"How about you if you're willing to hand over that thing, and I'll give you an additional inscription in addition to what he said earlier?" the man in black let out a hoarse and low laugh, a little oozing.
Xiao Zhen's heart suddenly set off a storm, "Mingyin, are you?"
"He is not talented, but he is a first-class sealer. ”
"Ming...... Sealer......" Xiao Zhen clutched his chest, and he said in horror, "You are actually an Sealer?"
Things in the world can never be the same forever, and this is especially true with the flow of time.
With the reproduction of martial arts, it has a long history, and after endless long years, suddenly one day, in the long river of martial arts, an extremely small, but shocking vein branch was born.
It is the Sealer.
Although the inscription master is derived from the martial arts, it is a stranger to the martial arts, beyond the martial arts, but far above the martial arts.
Because the inscription master is not cultivating martial arts, but refining inscriptions.
With the magic refining inscription technique, it is enough to be admired by thousands of people, even if your own martial arts strength is mediocre, but it does not prevent countless strong people from looking at you. Just a random inscription can make those mountain masters who pride themselves high on weekdays hug their legs and beg, what kind of face is majestic, what kind of grandmaster demeanor, at that time they will be worthless.
This is one of the reasons why the status of the Seal Master is above the martial arts.
It is also that everything is always precious because it is rare.
The scarcity of the inscription is not an exaggeration to say that it is rare, so the inscription is nicknamed the chosen son by the world.
At first glance, it seemed funny, but after a closer look, I found that it was unattainable.
Heaven's chosen one can only depend on fate.
For example, the black-clothed man named Monsoon in front of him, although he was only the most humble first-grade inscription master, compared to the cultivation level, that is, the level of the martial artist, but it was completely impossible to generalize.
Don't say that it is an ordinary martial artist level who wants to grovel in front of him, that is, a martial artist-level powerhouse gets along with him, and he has to nod his head and bow his waist, and offer respectfully.
This is the unshakable transcendent status of the sealer.
In a small marginal city like Yaobei City, an inscription artist may be rare for ten years.
But when I saw it today, I don't know if it was a blessing or a disaster.
Ji Feng was very happy to see Xiao Zhen's expression, this kind of powerlessness like looking up made him feel a spontaneous pleasure and refreshed.
Ji Feng stretched out his hand, revealing a white finger, and said, "A condensation seal, plus the two things from before, can have the weight to make this deal with you." ”
What?
Everyone present, including the Mu family, was taken aback. The weight of a condensation seal was much heavier than the two conditions given by Mu Shusheng.
The momentum of the Condensation Seal is to assist the Qi Spirit Realm to condense the Spiritual Realm, lay a solid foundation, stabilize the Spiritual Realm, and greatly improve the success rate of condensing the Spiritual Realm, breaking through to the Martial Artist Realm, and successfully stepping on the orthodoxy of martial arts. And even if it is used by people who have reached the realm of martial arts, it can also improve their strength a lot.
And the so-called Qi Spirit Realm is a starting realm under the martial artist, and it is the foundation for stepping into the martial arts. This process is particularly important, as it can be said to determine the upper limit of a warrior's future growth.
After hearing Monsoon's story about the Condensation Seal, Mu Zhan, Mu Cangbai, and Mu Hai obviously became heavy in their breathing, and the Condensation Seal was too tempting for the three of them who had not yet broken through the martial arts.
Xiao Zhen was shocked and quickly calmed down again, and said with a wry smile: "Master Ji is really a big deal, and the wealth of the inscription master is really worthy of his reputation." It's just that Xiao is a mortal man, he can't afford this favor, and he can't be blessed. I don't have what you ask for, so please go back, everyone. ”
"Do you really want to be so ignorant?" the man in black's tone suddenly became cold.
Xiao Zhen clenched his fists, "Forgive the contemptible people for being powerless to relieve the worries of Master Mingyin, I'm sorry." ”
As soon as Xiao Zhen's words fell, a cold murderous aura suddenly permeated from behind Mu Qisheng and several people.
"No matter what means you use, as long as you can get me something like that, three Condensation Seals!" said Monsoon through gritted teeth.
Several members of the Mu family immediately asked in unison, "Is Master Ji's words serious?"
"It's true!"
Monsoon was angry, very angry. Ever since he became an inscription master, everywhere he went, everyone was respectful, and what he wanted only needed a look, and he would give it to him obediently with both hands, so why bother. Good words don't make sense, inducement doesn't work, and nonsense is a blasphemy of his identity as a sealer. It's unbearable, even if you kill and grab it today, you have to grab it!
"That's enough for Master Ji to say. Mu Qisheng looked at Xiao Zhen and smiled fiercely, "Xiao Zhen, don't blame me, if you want to blame, blame you for being too ignorant, don't eat the toast, but want to eat the penalty wine." ”
Immediately, Mu Chop's figure suddenly burst out, pointing directly at Xiao Zhen, "Konoha Chop!"
Cloud opening next grade martial arts, Konoha slash!
The spiritual power wrapped Mu Slash's right hand inside, and used his hand as a knife to slash at Xiao Zhen. Seeing this, Xiao Zhen hurriedly pushed Xuan Chen and Lin Qing away, and crossed his arms on top of his head to meet this fierce attack.
"Seriously injured to this point, how much strength do you have left?" Mu Shu screamed, and the knife slammed into Xiao Zhen's arms.
"Bang!" sounded like a metal impact, and the next moment, Xiao Zhen's figure was like a parabola, and he was hit hard and flew out. After crashing into the house, knocking down the tables, chairs and furniture, he still couldn't stop the castration, and finally, he smashed on the wall before falling to the ground.
"Cough ......" A mouthful of blood spurted out of Xiao Zhen's mouth, Xiao Zhen covered his chest with his hands, and his breath was dying.
"Father!" Xuan Chen's pupils widened, and he shouted anxiously.
But at this moment, Mu Shusheng moved again, swept behind Xuan Chen, and then grabbed Xuan Chen's neck and lifted him in the air, and threw him far away from Mu Cang Bai and the others.
"Third child, look at this kid. ”
"No problem. Kikura Bai smirked, caught Xuanchen and threw him to the ground, stomping off his right foot.
How could Xuanchen, who had an ordinary physique, withstand this kick from Mu Cangbai, a stream of blood flowed down the corner of his mouth, and his breath became weak in an instant.
"Brother Xiao, hand over that kind of thing, otherwise this kid will ......," Mu Qisheng said jokingly, "My third brother doesn't have anything to do, don't blame me for not reminding you." ”
"Chen'er!" Lin Qing saw the two people who had both fallen, and his heart was torn for a while. She rushed to Mu Shusheng, "Bang!", and knelt heavily on the ground.
Lin Qingmu hugged Mu Qisheng's right foot and begged bitterly: "Mu Gongzi, please, please raise your noble hand and let us go." We really don't have what you're looking for, please!"
Mu Shusheng looked down at the woman lying at his feet, first stunned, then extremely disgusted.
"No!" Xuan Chen suddenly let out a hysterical roar, because in his sight, Mu Qisheng suddenly raised his leg and kicked Lin Qing's whole person out of the air.
With a bang, the west corner of the courtyard was covered with dust, completely burying the woman's figure.
And Mu Shusheng just glanced at it contemptuously, almost like kicking an ant to death, and his face did not change.
He stretched out his hand and patted the trouser leg that had been touched by Lin Qing before, and said lightly: "Speak well, what are you doing with your hands and feet, hey, it's very annoying." ”
waited until the dust fell to the ground, and Lin Qing, whose life and death were uncertain, slowly emerged from the dust and mist.
Mu Shusheng withdrew his hand, stepped back on his right foot, and continued: "Sister-in-law, is there something that you can count if you say it. Besides, everything we do is in accordance with Master Ji's orders, and there is nothing I can do about it. ”
"Bastard!" Xiao Scar struggled desperately, trying to get up from the ground, but no matter what he tried, his body imprisoned him to the ground again and again, unable to move. His injuries were so severe that the successive setbacks had made his body almost collapse.
"Mother......" Xuanchen was angry, but more hate, not hatred of others, but hatred of his own cowardice and incompetence, he hated himself for not even having the ability to die with Mu Shusheng, he could only be humiliated like a worm. The people who loved him the most gave him everything he could, but he could only watch them trampled on and destroyed!
To be born to be a human being, to be a human being in vain!
Xuanchen hated, he opened his eyes wide, and wrote down the ugliness of Mu Qisheng, Mu Zhan, Mu Cangbai, and Mu Hai one by one, as well as the man in black, Xuanchen firmly believed that even if he didn't show up, Xuanchen could rely on his telekinesis to completely record his breath, which was unforgettable.
He swore that one day he would pay back all the debts of today.
"Mu Chopper!" Xuan Chen's eyes were bloodshot, and he finally glared at Mu Chopper, "I hope that when he takes your life one day, you will still remember what you did today." ”
"Huh?" Mu Qisheng was a little unable to react after hearing this, and then he raised his head and laughed, "Haha...... I heard you right, a wasted man actually threatened to take my life? Okay, good, you succeeded in making me dispel the idea of killing you. ”
"Shut up! I really don't know how thick the sky is!" Mu Cangbai stepped on Xuanchen again, directly knocking Xuanchen unconscious.
At this time, an emerald green spirit grass rolled out of Xuanchen's arms.
Seeing this, the monsoon behind him immediately bent forward and grabbed the spirit grass, looked at it carefully several times, and laughed: "Ji Ji, it is really a gathering spirit grass......
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed out of nowhere. The target seems to be the Gathering Spirit Grass that the monsoon has just arrived.
Mu Qisheng was shocked, and immediately roared: "Second, third, stop him!"
Mu Cang Bai and Mu Zhan, who were standing beside Ji Feng, suddenly flew forward quickly when they heard this, and both of them used their full aura to block in front of Ji Feng and stop the man.
With a bang, Kikura Kashiwa and Mu Zhan flew backwards in an instant, and the black shadow also took a few steps back, and the sneak attack failed.
"Hehe, the Mu family is really arrogant and domineering. Wood chops trees, and you have the ability to grow ......"
Mu Qisheng saw the person clearly, his face was distorted, and he said angrily, "Mo Ling, you are looking for death!"
