In the early morning of the next day, Xuanchen and Xiao Zhen were ready to go, and Lin Qing put on a piece of demon beast skin scale armor that had been made overnight last night for Xuanchen, and checked it several times before nodding his head "let go" with peace of mind.

Lin Qing watched the two of them leave, until the figures of the two disappeared from sight, and the worry on their faces still lingered.

She returned to the yard, picked up a broom and dustpan, and began to clean the slightly messy yard. During this time, Xuanchen and Xiao Zhen practiced boxing in the courtyard, and when they encountered the fist intent, they would even use their hands and feet together. Rao knew that the two of them were practicing boxing, and he also felt a little unbearable to look at him directly, because it was too "dusty". Now inside and outside the house, the floor is a thick layer of mud and dust, not to mention, walking through, like slush claws, can leave shallow shoe prints, tea table wardrobes and other furniture, the same thumb lightly scraped, it is stained with the gray and black of the fingers, miserable. Fortunately, there are few guests and neighbors at home, otherwise I would have thought that she was not good at running the house.

It's not that she thinks of the trouble of cleaning every day, she has to pile up to this day, but it is really that she only cleaned the tea table one moment ago, and just set off to wipe the wardrobe the next moment, and the tea table is covered with a new layer of dust.

"Hmph, without you two, I'm pure, I can't ask for it. ”

Lin Qing carried a broom and dustpan and walked to the stake to clean up a circle of sawdust on the ground.

Lin Qing smirked to himself, humming a small tune in his mouth, as if he was enjoying himself. But it is a broom in the east, a broom in the west, the east is complete and the west is missing, and the yard is full of "fish that have slipped through the net".

It was the first time for the soulless woman to face such a deserted courtyard.

But the young man is brave and fierce.

——

"Chen'er, let's go to the group to meet everyone first. Walking down the street, Xiao Zhen said.

"Father, what is the task this time?" asked Xuan Chen with great interest.

"Is this a concern?" Xiao Zhen quipped with a smile, "This mission is a second-order water demon core. ”

"Second-order water-based demon core? That's something that can only happen to second-order water-based demon beasts. Xuan Chen was shocked.

The demon core, a kind of energy crystallization of the demon beast, can be said to be the second heart of the demon beast, and it can also be called the energy center of the demon beast.

The demon core can be used as the main material for refining the inscription, or it can be directly embedded on the weapon armor to improve the attack and defense capabilities of the weapon armor, which may not be as complete as the former, and can maximize the potential of the demon core, but it is also effective and sought after by many warriors.

However, not every demon beast can be born with a demon core, generally speaking, it is possible that one demon core may appear in three or four demon beasts, and the probability is even smaller.

Putting aside this hard condition, just trying to hunt down a demon beast with a demon core in its body is already a matter of fire. Generally speaking, demon beasts with demon cores in their bodies are usually a few points stronger than ordinary demon beasts, because the energy is more refined than others, and with the assistance of the demon core, the control of berserk energy is also much more arbitrary, which will inevitably be more difficult to hunt. The value of the demon core can be seen.

"Well, it's a bit tricky, so Captain Lei Xing will be with us as well. Xiao Zhen said.

Xuan Chen nodded, Lei Xing didn't want Xiao Zhen to participate in this hiring mission, and now he saw that he had a reason. A martial artist-level demon beast, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a fierce beast.

Not far away is the Thunder Warfare Mercenary Regiment, because of the development needs, the Thunder Warfare Mercenary Regiment purchased a mansion here as its headquarters. The layout and decoration of the courtyard are simple and neat, and there is no majestic stone lions like other mansions, or carved beams and painted buildings, but not only is it not magnificent, but it looks solemn and solemn, and it has a sense of brightness and pride. The black plaque on the ridge of the roof is painted with two large characters of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing with dark gold plating-Lei Zhan.

"Brother Xiao. Yue Feng, who was standing under the eaves outside the mansion, beckoned to this side.

"Let's go over. Xiao Zhen said to Xuan Chen.

"Brother Xiao, what are you ......" Yue Feng walked down the steps to meet the two, his eyes first fell on Xuan Chen, and asked.

"Chen'er will go with us. Xiao Zhen said bluntly, without beating around the bush.

Yue Feng thought that either he had heard it wrong, or Xiao Zhen was joking, and asked again, "What? I heard it right, Xiao Chen is with us?"

"That's right. Xiao Zhen smiled, as expected.

"Brother Xiao, you are messing around!" Yue Feng's two long black eyebrows suddenly frowned, and he reprimanded, "Take Xiao Chen there?"

Yue Feng's face was flushed when he spoke, I had never seen anyone who was so heartless as an adult.

Xiao Zhen smiled and said nothing, glancing at Xuanchen, he was saying that you provoked a moth, you should explain, there is nothing wrong, right?

Xuan Chen glanced back at him, saying that your old man only needs to put a hundred hearts, you and I can persuade both of you, and others are not effortless?

"Uncle Yue, I'm a martial artist now. Xuan Chen raised his chin and said.

"What, what are you talking about?" Yue Feng asked, pulling his neck and leaning his ears.

"I said I'm a martial artist now. Xuan Chen repeated with a smile.

Yue Feng waved his hand and said: "Xiao Chen, don't worry, I'm reasoning with your father, you are still young, and it is understandable that you are naïve, so you don't have to make up lies to excuse him, the boss is not a small person, he should say it if he is willful but his brains are not small!"

Xuanchen scratched his head with a wry smile, a little headache.

Immediately, Xuanchen looked around, and then ran to the side under a banyan tree as thick as his waist, his right fist clenched, he didn't use the Iron Mountain Fist, but purely relied on the strength of his fist, and simply punched and hit the banyan tree.

Bang.

The leaves were shaken away from the branches and fell like snowflakes, and the place where the fist fell, after Xuanchen closed the fist, left a fist mark more than an inch deep.

"This ......" Yue Feng was stunned, and his shock was beyond measure.

Xiao Zhen patted Yue Feng on the shoulder and said, "My son is a real martial artist now, and his strength is not low, you can rest assured." ”

"Okay, great. Yue Feng's eyes were slightly red, he regarded Xiao Zhen as his own brother, because Xiao Zhen had saved his life, if it weren't for Xiao Zhen, he would have been devoured alive by that demon beast. He was glad to see his brother's children out of trouble, more than drinking a jar of old wine.

"Uncle Yue, are you relieved now?" Xuanchen trotted back and asked.

Yue Feng nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, rest assured." But next time you should tell me about this kind of good thing. Saying that, Yue Feng made a straight face again, pretending not to be angry.

"Haha, it's my fault. Xiao Zhen grabbed Yue Feng's shoulder and laughed.

At this time, Lei Xing and Lei Li, the two chief and deputy head of the regiment, walked out of the mansion side by side, and when they saw Xiao Zhen's side, they also asked the same question as Yue Feng. Yue Feng took the initiative to tell Lei Xing and everyone present about what he had seen before.

"Oh, this is a great thing, congratulations, when this mission is successfully completed, I have a treat, I must celebrate. Lei Xing said happily, and then he told Xiao Zhen, "But we still can't take it lightly, we are all very clear about the danger of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, and we have all suffered in it, it is a good thing to have a heart to experience, but we must do what we can, the whole road has a long way to go, we must not stick to the small profits in front of us, everything is safety-oriented." ”

Xiao Zhen turned his head and said to Xuan Chen: "Did you hear it, the words of the head of the regiment must be remembered in your heart, they are all old words, not as a deaf ear, remember Ang." ”

Xuanchen clasped his fists at Lei Xing and saluted: "Thank you Leader, the juniors must always keep it in mind." ”

Lei Xing nodded and praised, "Well, I'm starting to like you little guy a little, yes, yes." ”

"Okay, Lei Zhan mercenary group, let's go!"

——

At noon, Lin Qing simply made a little food, boiled rice in clear water, and had a full stomach.

After tidying up and cleaning up all morning, the long-dormant tiredness in the body after eating suddenly emerged, and the upper and lower eyelids fought, Lin Qing went back to the room and leaned on the chair, ready to squint for a while.

By the time she woke up, the sun outside the house had already broken through the door and run to her heels.

Lin Qing was immediately startled, muttering that she had overslept when she was done, so she quickly got up, sorted out her clothes at will, and closed the door, she had to go to the temple fair before the end of the temple fair to purchase all the demon beast fur and scale armor that had been planned in advance.

Now that there is one more cultivator in the family, it is inevitable that there will be fights in the future, and Xuanchen has just recovered, so she can't help but go to the dangerous demon beast mountain range with Xiao Zhen, which can't help but make her worry about whether this stinky boy will be more restless in the future, and run out twice in three days. Buy more good fur and scale armor and sew a few pieces of armor to prevent problems before they happen.

She wanted to take a nap and go out early, who would have thought that she would really get sleepy, and she slept for several hours, her hands were sore, and she almost missed the time.

Lin Qing locked the courtyard door, and just after taking a few steps, he bumped into a neighbor head-on. The same woman, older than her, with slightly dark skin, a bloated body, four plump peaks, and trembling when she walked.

"Hey, Sister Lin, what are you doing here?" the woman asked, holding a bamboo basket in her hand, blocking in front of Lin Qing.

Lin Qing stroked his sideburns and hair, bent them behind his ears, and replied: "I want to go to the temple fair, Sister Li, the temple fair is not over yet, right? ”

The woman pushed the bamboo basket in her hand in front of Lin Qing, lifted the cover on the surface, revealing a basket full of white and yellow eggs, and said, "No, you see that my basket of eggs was just bought from the temple fair." The old man who sold eggs saw that I bought a lot, and praised me for being a distinguished guest, so he had to bargain me for two gold coins, no wonder he was embarrassed. There's no way, who made my family love to eat, what kind of weird fist all day long, always making me sweat profusely, it makes me feel distressed. Then I put out more strength, and I was able to eat and drink, and three or four meals were not enough. Recently, I also like dancing knives and guns, and the hoes at home have accidentally broken a few for him, and his father is so annoyed that he almost tied his hands and feet in anger. Hey, warrior, nothing else, a lot of brute force, as if it can't be used up. But we can't hold him down, can we?"

Lin Qing nodded, still laughing softly: "It shouldn't be." ”

The woman seemed to be deaf to these words, turned sideways slightly, looked around Lin Qing, and caught a glimpse of the copper lock that was closed on the courtyard door. She asked: "In the morning, I saw that your Xiao Zhen seemed to have gone out, carrying a bag, is there another task?"

Lin Qing replied truthfully: "It is said that the task of the mercenary group is a little anxious, so I left in a hurry. ”

"You said that the mercenary group is really, it has to rush for a while, and make others angry, in case they are not prepared, isn't it counterproductive. The woman seemed to be resentful for Lin Qing and said.

Immediately after that, a trace of suspicion flashed in the woman's eyes, and she asked tentatively, "But I saw that Chen'er was also walking with me, should I ......?"

Lin Qing clasped his hands horizontally on his abdomen and said with a smile: "The child is playful, and he is noisy and says that he wants to go with him, but we can't resist him." ”

The woman seemed to be worried and said: "Sister Lin, I can just talk about you and your wife, don't think I'm talkative, Chen'er's body you two know best, how dare he send him to the place where he eats people and doesn't spit out bones, nonsense, not as big as you." ”

"The child has grown up, we as adults, we really shouldn't be controlled by him everywhere, there are Xiao Zhen and the people of the Lei Zhan Mercenary Group, I am relieved. Lin Qing said.

The woman scratched Lin Qing's eyes, "You, it's just that your heart is too soft, if you want to change it to me, this kind of thing will definitely not be discussed." ”

Lin Qing said with a little embarrassment: "Sister Li, you see that it's not early, I'm ......"

The woman said "oh" twice, and then stood under the corner of the wall, a little embarrassed, "Look at my mouth, I can't hold back when I speak, and I almost delayed your time." ”

Lin Qing said: "No, Sister Li also cares about my family." ”

The woman patted her chest, like a strong wind sweeping the hills, and the beautiful forest rolling like a tide, "Then it goes without saying, we are separated by two courtyard walls, can I not kiss Chen'er? This old saying is good, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors." ”

Lin Qing just laughed and didn't talk again, worried that "the wildfire will blow and grow".

The woman kept watching Lin Qing pass in front of her, and when she saw Lin Qing walking away, she smoothed the corner of the cover she had uncovered earlier, her face became indifferent, and she said to herself: "It's really strange, I don't know why that little thing was sent to death?"

At the temple fair, there was the sound of a peddler.

"The first-order demon beast I just killed yesterday, the pangolin, the carapace is as strong as iron, it is difficult for knives and guns to enter, it is the most suitable for making armor, and you must not miss it when you pass by. ”

Lin Qing walked to the stall, squatted down, picked up a piece of black carapace that had been disassembled into elbow-length and wide, and asked, "How do you sell this carapace?"

The vendor was a young man, and when he saw the guests, he quickly squatted down and replied, "Ten pieces in total, twenty gold coins each, madam, if you pack them all up, I can still give you a cheap price, and you will be satisfied." ”

Lin Qing asked in surprise, "Twenty, the price is so expensive?"

The dealer smiled, "Madame doesn't know, you get what you pay for, that pangolin, although it is only a first-order demon beast, it is already an adult, it may be that its qualifications are too poor, and it is not in the realm, but its carapace is really not covered." A few of our brothers cut off four or five knives, but we couldn't help it. In the end, he found the opportunity to stab the beast in the abdomen, and finally killed it. ”

The dealer picked up a smooth carapace, pointed at it, and said, "Madam, you see, it's intact, four or five knives are broken, and there is still no trace left. ”

Seeing that Lin Qing's eyes showed a little wavering, the dealer hurriedly took advantage of the water and mud, "Madam, don't worry, it's absolutely genuine, but if you find the slightest bit of fraud after you buy it back, you just come back and confront me." I have recorded them all in the account, and I will never dare to turn over the account and not recognize anyone. ”

Lin Qing did not doubt the authenticity of the dealer's oath, the temple has the rules of the temple fair, and no one dares to cheat and play tricks under the noses of the major jurisdictional families.

"Naturally, I believe it, but I am surprised that the price is expensive, and there is no meaning of speculation and doubt. Lin Qing said, reaching into his arms to withdraw the money, "It's all over, how much is it, you seem to have said that there are benefits before, right?"

"Madame, good ears, originally ten yuan for a total of 200 gold coins, I count you 180 how it is? It's refreshing enough, isn't it?" said the peddler with a gesture of "eight".

"Thank you. Lin Qing said with a smile, took out the gold and blue card, and was about to hand it to the dealer, when a sneer suddenly came from his side.

"Yo, isn't this sister-in-law Xiao?"

Lin Qing followed the prestige, and was suddenly shocked, almost trembling with timidity, and the blue crystal card in his hand almost slipped through the gap between his loose five fingers.

"Wooden ...... Granary...... Childe Kuragashi......"

Kikura Kashiwa casually threw a golden crystal card, and with a pop, it was embedded directly on the ground where the stall was located.

"I paid for Sister-in-law Xiao for this little money. Kikura Kashiwa stared straight at the snow-white woman, and as he spoke, he slowly approached the woman, and the playfulness in his eyes became more and more intense.

Then he bent down slightly and whispered a few times in Lin Qing's ear.

The dealer didn't dare to say a word, so he was ordered to carefully pull out the gold crystal card from the ground, swipe it on his own blue crystal card, and after turning no more than one hundred and eighty gold coins, he respectfully walked up to Mu Cang Bai and handed it back with both hands.

Mu Cangbai stretched out two fingers, pinched one end of the card, pulled it back in a dashing manner, and turned to leave.

The dealer returned to his stall and put ten carapaces into cloth bags and handed them to some of the women who were in a state of despair.

Lin Qing mechanically reached out to take it, and the weight in her hand was like a thousand catties, so heavy that she almost couldn't straighten her waist. Her throat rolled, forgetting to wipe the sweat off her sideburns, and hurriedly followed the Kikura cypress in front.

There was an aftermath in my ears, like thunder rolling.

"Unless you want me to settle accounts with that waste kid......"

The huge city of Yaobei, without the thin women of father and son, is already isolated and helpless.
